Chapter 167 The Yellow River's Waters Flow from Heaven

The moment the sound rang out, the world suddenly darkened. Although Tian Bo Xun's palm landed, Li Chunfeng retreated rapidly, his speed actually managing to avoid Tian Bo Xun's attack.

"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, you think you can rescue people from my hands? You underestimate me!" Tian Bo Xun sneered, and his palm chased after Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang at an even faster speed.

"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high!" Another loud shout rang out, and a roc appeared beneath the two men. The roc merely flapped its wings, yet it seemed to traverse countless spaces before disappearing without a trace.

Tianbo Xun's palm landed on empty air. Even though he had used enough spatial techniques, he still couldn't catch up with the speed of the roc.

Tianbo Xun looked at Li Bai, who stood with his hands clasped in the void, dressed in white. At this moment, Li Bai's clothes were fluttering, and he held a writing brush in his hand.

"He didn't even use any magic, nor did he have any cultivation. How could he stand in mid-air like that!" Shiva's eyesight was excellent, so he was extremely shocked to see Li Bai standing in mid-air.

Tian Bo Xun's answer was quite straightforward: "The spatial power he wields is not on the same level as our power. He is just a mortal, but he can mobilize a strange spatial law. Although he is in our sight, the power he uses is not visible to the naked eye. He stands in the space he has drawn, and he is a mountain, a high mountain, a very high mountain!"

Brahma frowned as well, the two snakes on his ears flicking their tongues, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

"Climbing this mountain is like ascending to heaven!" Although Brahma did not have the same spatial mastery as Mara, his spiritual power was not to be underestimated, and the two-headed serpent responded extremely quickly.

"That's right, the road to Shu is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven. Which of the three of you would like to give it a try!"

"He's just a mortal, yet he's scared you two like this. Let me handle this!" Shiva shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot and stumbled straight into the poem "The Road to Shu is Hard" written by Li Bai.

As soon as he entered, Shiva stopped and landed in mid-air. He did not use any of his powers, yet he could stand in the void, and countless towering mountains began to appear beneath him.

Most importantly, Shiva discovered that when he entered the manifestation of Li Bai's poems, he was shocked to find that Li Bai was almost invisible to the naked eye without the use of his magic power. This was not because Li Bai had spiritual power, but because he was simply far away.

"A strange power! It's just a high mountain, I'll see how difficult it really is!"

Shiva exerted force with his feet and suddenly leaped into the air, climbing upwards at an extremely fast speed, covering a distance of a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Li Bai, however, was not afraid at all. What he feared was that Shiva would use his strange powers. With his pure physical body, the line in the poem about the difficulty of the Shu Road, "Monkeys and apes want to cross but are worried about climbing," was no joke.

Li Bai looked down at Shiva from his high vantage point, his expression unchanged.

Brahma looked at Mara and asked, "What is Shiva doing?"

In Brahma's view, Shiva was climbing in mid-air, but there was no sign of him going up. His hands and feet were moving very fast, but he still couldn't move upward.

"Shiva is climbing a mountain. He must have seen something tangible, so he wanted to get closer to that person. But unfortunately, the other party is probably using a domain. Within that domain, ordinary mental power is probably useless."

Mara's explanation made Brahma's expression less than pleasant, because His greatest strength lay in spiritual power.

"So we're just going to watch Shiva climb like a clown?"

"Shiva is a demon king after all, so he should realize something is wrong soon. It seems that in his vision, he can't close the distance with the other party at all. Let's wait a bit. Although his brute force is ineffective, his destructive karmic fire is still very strong. Let's see if he can break through it."

As if in response to Mara's words, Shiva stopped climbing. Looking at Li Bai above, Shiva said in a deep voice, "Is it an illusion? At my speed, even if I only climb by brute force, I can cover a distance of millions of miles, but I don't feel that the distance between us has been shortened at all."

"That's because you're not fast enough!" Li Bai's answer was casual, which made Shiva's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

He is the Demon King under the command of the Styx Ancestor. How dare this Li Bai, who is unknown, humiliate him like this?

"What is your name? My karmic fire does not burn nameless people." Shiva became calm and asked in a deep voice.

"I will not change my name or surname, I am the poet Li Bai!"

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang slowly woke up at this moment, and what they heard was Li Bai introducing himself. The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Li Bai?
Didn't the Tang Emperor just bestow titles upon his children? How did he end up here?

"It seems this is the person the sage sent to break the deadlock!"

"But I couldn't sense even the slightest trace of a cultivator's aura from him. Can he really be one?"

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang whispered to each other.

"He was the one who used spatial magic to save us just now, so he must have some skills," Yuan Tiangang replied.

"But he really didn't show any fluctuations in his cultivation level."

Faced with Li Chunfeng's repeated, resolute, and heart-wrenching words, Yuan Tiangang fell silent.

Yuan Tiangang wasn't stupid; he naturally sensed that Li Bai didn't possess the power or aura of a divine cultivator. But who could he rely on at this moment?

"The Poet Immortal Li Bai?" Shiva tried hard to retrieve his memories of the cultivators in this world, but unfortunately, after searching through all the memories from the primordial era to the present, he could not find a cultivator named Li Bai.

"Since you remain unfazed even when facing the three of us demon kings, I will grant you a swift death."

Black karmic fire began to appear around Shiva, and at the moment the black karmic fire appeared, the towering mountains and ridges seemed to be about to dissipate.

"It seems this power isn't as terrifying as you thought. The karmic fire was already on the verge of breaking as soon as it appeared." Brahma looked at Mara. Just now, he really thought that Li Bai could easily trap and kill a demon king, but now it seems that it was just a bluff.

"You can only draw such a conclusion if His karmic fire can be ignited!" Tianbo Xun said in a deep voice, looking at Li Bai holding a writing brush above him.

Then, He took several steps back, increasing the distance between Him and Shiva.

"Burn it all, burn it to ashes!" Starting with Shiva, the karmic fire began to spread rapidly, with black flames rising all over the mountains and fields.

Li Bai finally moved. He waved his brush in the air and shouted loudly: "Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky?"
