My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 413 The Sage is Ruthless
The backlash came quickly and fiercely.

Soon after, the entire map of mountains and rivers began to shake violently, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and cracks appeared one after another in the sky.

To eliminate Li Ye, the Calamity must first tear open the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

"You brat, you've ruined my grand plan!" Nuwa, who was originally integrating the demonic energy she had absorbed, now had to divert her energy to stabilize the Mountain and River Map.

The Tongtian Sect Leader and his group were overjoyed. As long as they could leave the Mountain and River Map, the minor calamity would be a piece of cake.

So what if Li Ye changes his fate?
There are many ways to keep him alive, but his domain must be stripped away. Leaving the supernatural power to defy fate in his hands would be a scourge to the entire world...

Apart from Taishang and Yuanshi, everyone was waiting for the Mountain and River Map to collapse.

The two elders looked somewhat solemn.

Once the fate line is set, then the event is destined to happen. Even if Li Ye is kept alive, it only postpones the occurrence of fate.

Saints possess layers of protection, and under normal circumstances, their fate cannot be altered.

But in the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," the cause-and-effect relationship was actually altered, which is quite bizarre.

Every saint possesses the supernatural power to defy fate.

Within the Mountain and River Map, their domain is suppressed. Once they leave the map, their strength is restored, and theoretically, they could change their fate again, but no one does so.

They didn't want to suffer the backlash either; moreover, repeatedly altering the fate of saints could very likely trigger the collapse of the universe.

The ignorant are fearless.

Taishang and Yuanshi looked at Li Ye and sighed silently in their hearts.

If things were truly unavoidable, their outcome would actually be the best, since their altered fate did not foreshadow their death.

……

The backlash was fierce. Even though Nuwa desperately tried to repair the Mountain and River Map, she could not stop its collapse. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared angrily at Li Ye: "Fool, you have ruined everything."

Li Ye looked at Nuwa quietly without saying a word. What could he do, caught between the six saints?
He had no better way out than to work desperately.

He was gambling, gambling that these high and mighty saints wouldn't perish together with a peasant like him...

About fifteen minutes later, Nuwa glared at Li Ye, and the collapsing mountains and rivers vanished from everyone's sight, replaced by a tattered painting.

The true landscape of Earth, previously obscured by the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," has reappeared before everyone.

In the towering city, panicked crowds scattered everywhere...

Dense bolts of lightning erupted from the void, striking the ground one after another. The sky was covered in flames, and clusters of fire fell from the sky, burning large holes in the asphalt.

Faced with such a natural disaster, in a short time, a large number of people who were fleeing in all directions were killed or injured.

Upon seeing this, Li Ye couldn't help but frown and subconsciously activated the wedding domain to save the people on Earth.

The wedding industry can protect against most harms.

But this time, the wedding industry failed.

The refugees were forced to attend the wedding, but lightning and fire from the sky pierced through the wedding's protective barrier and struck everyone. Anyone who was touched by even a speck of fire was instantly reduced to ashes.

More lightning and heavenly fire then struck Li Ye.

Unlike previous tribulations, this one was almost continuous, with one lightning bolt after another striking Li Ye's head.

Each strike was more powerful than the last, making him look like a humanoid ball of light.

The lightning was mixed with Yin energy, which invaded his dantian and gradually eroded his profound immortal power.

The heavenly fire burned his soul. Li Ye possessed a powerful divine soul, but when the heavenly fire landed on him, it penetrated his external defenses and directly ignited his divine soul.

Once lit, it's like a maggot clinging to your bone; you can't extinguish it no matter what you do, and you can't force it out of your body.

The rising winds from the ground swirled around Li Ye, cutting through his powerful body like a scraper.

Li Ye's physical body could recover very quickly, but the gale was endless. When his demonic energy and immortal power were exhausted and he could no longer maintain his body's recovery speed, even the strongest physical body could be worn away by the gale surging from the ground...

The laws of the universe launched a devastating attack on him from all sides, and all of Li Ye's defensive measures were of little use; he could only rely on his powerful body to withstand the blows.

……

"Is this the result you wanted?" Nuwa looked at Li Ye, who was tormented by the backlash of cause and effect, sneered, and disappeared in a flash.

But soon, she fell back down from the void.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, how can you just leave after causing such trouble?" The Tongtian Sect Master looked at Nuwa calmly, his body radiating a sharp sword aura. The lightning, gales, and other things that were trying to disturb Li Ye were either annihilated or deflected to the side when they encountered his sword aura, and could not harm him in the slightest.

It was he who locked down the space, preventing Nuwa from escaping.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and Tongtian Jiaozhu stood in a triangle, surrounding Nuwa in the middle.

Taishang and Yuanshi were focused on Li Ye, who was suffering from the backlash of cause and effect. They were not in a hurry to take action, as if they were using the heavenly tribulation to wear down Li Ye's will, or as if they were seeing if Li Ye had succeeded in changing his fate.

……

In no time.

All the ordinary people in Li Ye's wedding area vanished without a trace, and before they died, they didn't even know how the disaster had happened.

Li Ye was completely unable to save these innocent people. He had just tried, but the Rainbow Bridge couldn't extend at all. The Tongtian Sect Leader had sealed off space, blocking not only Nuwa but also Li Ye.

Several sages clearly hoped to resolve the problem on Earth.

Taishang and Yuanshi clearly had the ability to help those ordinary people, but they did not intervene.

Because of their different levels of life, in their eyes, ordinary people are probably no different from ants!

For a time, Li Ye's impression of these saints was extremely poor. The higher their status, the more ruthless they were. Nuwa was right. Perhaps this world really didn't need saints and demons.

It's good that it's destroyed.

Wang Lingguan, Li Jing, and others were struggling to hold on, but this heavenly tribulation was an indiscriminate attack, and although they were strong, they could not hold on for long.

Obviously.

Li Ye recklessly manipulated the causal chain, altering the fate of a sage; the Great Dao will utterly destroy him.

Not only must his physical body be destroyed, but he must also be transformed into a jinx that brings disaster wherever he goes...

……

Seeing Wang Lingguan and the others struggling to hold on, Li Ye felt a pang of pity. He looked at Taishang and Yuanshi and said, "Two sages, could you please send my master and the others away first? They are innocent."

“Tongtian has sealed off space.” Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head. “Once it’s torn open, Nuwa will be able to escape.”

"So, unless Nuwa dies, you won't open up the space?" Li Ye frowned, his goodwill towards these saints who disregarded the lives of ordinary people vanished instantly.

“Nuwa has devoured almost all the demonic energy. Once she refines it, the universe will never have peace,” Taishang said. “For the sake of the universe’s peace, Nuwa’s problem must be solved.”

"You don't want to solve Nuwa's problem, you want to disperse the demonic energy again, don't you!" Li Ye looked at Tongtian and the other two who were besieging Nuwa and mocked them. Taishang and Yuanshi didn't speak, but just watched the battle between Tongtian and the others and Nuwa.

……

The saints' attacks were simple and unadorned, with almost no grand or sweeping moves.

Not a single ounce of energy leaked out, yet each attack seemed capable of annihilating space itself.

Nuwa devoured almost all the demonic energy and used the Map of Mountains and Rivers to refine many ancient gods. Even when facing the siege of three sages, she was not at a disadvantage...

However, this only means they are not at a disadvantage. Once Taishang and Yuanshi join the fray, the balance of the battlefield will likely be broken instantly.

Nuwa only absorbed the demonic energy; it seems she did not seize the domain that Lishan Laomu and others later created.

Seeing the unmoved Taishang and Yuanshi, Li Ye realized that he had underestimated the ruthlessness of the sages.

His alteration of the sage's fate brought him no better outcome than backlash. If Taishang and Yuanshi had simply lent a helping hand when he was about to be struck down by the heavenly tribulation, ensuring his survival, they could have indefinitely postponed the fate he had altered.

Ah!
Li Ye chuckled self-deprecatingly, then suddenly appeared beside Wang Lingguan, placing a gold coin in his palm: "Master..."

He had just uttered two words when his voice was suddenly silenced, and he could no longer utter a single word.

Wang Lingguan looked at Li Ye, shook his head, his eyes full of pity. At this moment, the saintly filter in his heart crumbled: "Disciple, live well. Your master is already very content. It's just a pity that I can't pass on this domain to you."

A fair trade requires a contest between two people. Now that Li Ye is unable to speak, this skill is basically useless. The medical field requires surgery, but the Supreme Beings obviously won't give Li Ye the opportunity to perform surgery.

“Your Majesty, this is our fate.” Li Jing sighed, clasped his hands and said to Li Ye, “You don’t need to worry about us anymore. Find a way to survive. It is more appropriate for you to be the ruler of this universe.”

Originally, Li Jing had some reservations about Li Ye declaring himself emperor, but now, having witnessed the emperor's actions, his resentment vanished, and he called him "Your Majesty" willingly.

After saying that, he summoned the Linglong Pagoda, abandoning his own defense, and placed it above Li Ye's head.

Wang Lingguan smiled and took out his bath set, handing it to Li Ye. The more demons Li Ye had, the longer he could hold out.

Immediately afterwards, Muzha, Jiao Zhihong, and the others also handed the demon over to Li Ye, and they did indeed awaken their domains.

But in the battle of the saints, they are of no help at all and can only hold Li Ye back. It would be better for them to sacrifice themselves to help Li Ye.

A man will die for one who understands him. Although Li Ye's methods are strange, he is truly loyal to his own people.

With tears in his eyes, Li Ye suddenly clenched his fists. When he turned to look at Taishang and Yuanshi, his gaze had become incredibly calm and cold.

He was wrong!

He should have helped Nuwa capture all the sages in the Mountain and River Map back then, even if he gave all his derivative skills to Nuwa, it would have been much better than what is happening now.

The solution lies with Nuwa!
Li Ye remained silent for a moment, then suddenly activated his Culinary God Domain.

The chopping board suddenly enlarged and appeared beneath everyone's feet. Then, braving the lightning tribulation, he activated the God of War Dharma Form, transforming himself into a giant with three heads and six arms.

The kitchen knife in his hand simultaneously enveloped Tongtian and the other two.

His ability to speak was sealed, and he had to prove himself to Nuwa through his actions...

But the cleaver didn't fall. His body was once again immobilized, and the immortal spiritual power all over his body seemed to be frozen, making him unable to move at all.

None of the domains that Li Ye awakened were able to break through the seal imposed on him by the sage. He didn't even see which sage had attacked him!

The realm of heretics is just that—the realm of heretics. A realm created in just a few decades can't possibly compete with a sage who has lived for countless millennia…

"Finally woke up?" Nuwa looked at the imprisoned Li Ye and scoffed. Without even seeing her make any move, Li Ye had already regained his ability to move.

After regaining his mobility, Li Ye no longer used the cleaver in his hand to slash at the Tongtian Sect Leader and others, but instead slashed at their moves in the void.

In the realm of culinary masters, not only can the physical be cut, but the illusory can also be cut.

Li Ye obtained his Rainbow Bridge in this way.

Since we cannot break the sage's supernatural powers, let's make those powers our own.

laugh!
There was a muffled sound.

Li Ye unleashed a sword aura from the void.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was taken aback and instinctively attacked the kitchen knife in Li Ye's hand, but Nuwa turned the Demon Suppression Tower around and created a shield that blocked the Tongtian Sect Leader's attack, creating an opportunity for Li Ye.

Li Ye ignored Nuwa and focused on cooking. His cleaver flew up and down, and he sliced ​​the sword energy into thin slices in an instant, which he then threw into the wok.

period.

Jieyin and Zhunti tried to interrupt Li Ye several times, but Nuwa stopped them each time.

Taishang and Yuanshi exchanged a glance and silently joined the battle, severing the connection between Nuwa and Li Ye.

After they joined, Li Ye lost his ability to move again, but it was at this moment that the way to use the sword energy inside the pot, just like the Rainbow Bridge before, was imprinted into Li Ye's mind and became his move.

Endless Sword Domain.

After comprehending the Tongtian Sect Master's killing move, Li Ye could suddenly understand the actions of the others when he looked at them again, or rather, he understood the Tongtian Sect Master's domain.

Countless sword energies filled the entire void through various means.

Nuwa had to push away the dense sword energy before she could perform any of her actions, which to outsiders looked like the annihilation of the void.

Actually.

If space weren't cut, Nuwa wouldn't even be able to move...

At this moment, Li Ye also realized how good the Tongtian Sect Master had been to him. When he moved and used the War God Dharma Form, the sword energy that filled the void silently changed positions, making room for him.

It seems that the Tongtian Sect Leader is also wary of the fate that Li Ye changed for the two saints, and does not want Li Ye to suffer any harm.

The ways of Heaven are unpredictable. Even a sage is not omnipotent. If Li Ye were to die because of them, they might suddenly disappear before Li Ye died.

The Tongtian Sect leader, having witnessed Li Ye's use of his skills, knew how absurd his claim that money could change fate was—it could bypass causal lines and directly alter the process.

……

Since you don't dare to hurt me, then don't blame me for being impolite!

Li Ye understood everything and, without further hesitation, suddenly activated the Endless Sword Domain.

The two sets of endless sword domains collided.

With a loud bang, a huge sound was made.

The space was riddled with cracks, as if tempered glass had shattered.

Li Ye instantly regained his mobility, and then he swung the kitchen knife in his hand again, this time aiming at the illusory golden Buddha image of Zhunti.

“That’s right, let’s do it this way.” Nuwa chuckled and activated the Demon Suppression Tower. Together with Li Ye, she faced five saints alone. Even though she had absorbed almost all the demonic energy and the souls of many veteran immortals and gods in the universe, she was still at a disadvantage.

Nuwa also understood that the best partner to overcome the current difficulties was Li Ye.
