Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 490 Pangu's Dharma Body
Niu Yi saw the golden giant axe, as large as a mountain, arrive before him in the blink of an eye, but he did not panic at all. The Hunyuan Cauldron behind him rapidly expanded, quickly enveloping Niu Yi and several other magical treasures, and met the giant axe head-on.

"clang----"

As the two collided, a deafening clang of metal striking metal rapidly spread out, and the Hunyuan Furnace withstood the attack without shaking at all.

The Heavenly Emperor's cold gaze met Niu Yi's calm gaze, yet both sensed the other's fighting spirit.

"Hmph, interesting. You, a Taiyi True Immortal who has not yet attained the Dao Fruit, think you can compete with the Heavenly Dao of this world with just a few dozen complete Great Daos?"

"Don't forget, the Great Dao you cultivate is the Great Dao of this world. No matter how strong you are, or how close you are to the Heavenly Dao of this world, you can never be my match."

"Or is it that your reliance is these treasures that you've created through your own meditation?"

"If these treasures were truly here, I would indeed be somewhat wary, but how could these, which you yourself refined through meditation, possibly contend with me!"

The Heavenly Emperor spoke in a cold voice, and with a wave of his hand, the ten-thousand-foot-tall Pangu Dharma Body behind him instantly radiated golden light, and the axe was also filled with golden light. An indescribable terrifying power instantly burst out from the axe and slammed into Niu Yi's Hunyuan Furnace.

"clang!!!!"

Soon, another loud bang was heard, and the Hunyuan Furnace that was protecting Niu Yi also began to tremble, clearly shaken by the attack.

"Hmph! Don't be so violent!"

Just then, a somewhat hoarse and sharp voice suddenly came from Niu Yi's body, accompanied by a burst of colorful light and a series of clear and melodious phoenix cries.

"A five-colored phoenix?"

The Heavenly Emperor looked with some surprise at the five-thousand-foot-tall, five-colored phoenix that flew out rapidly from behind Niu Yi.

As soon as the phoenix appeared, it flapped its wings and commanded rays of five-colored light, which stabilized the Hunyuan Furnace once again.

Niu Yi chuckled and said:
“If you were truly the Great God Pangu, I would never have dared to accept that battle. But now you only have one incarnation of Pangu. Even with these non-authentic magical treasures at hand, how could I possibly fail to win?”

As Niu Yi spoke, the magical artifacts around him began to flash with spiritual light.

The Starry Chessboard rapidly disappeared into the sea of ​​stars beneath their feet, causing the endless sea of ​​stars to churn. Countless starlight beams flashed and appeared, dispelling the surrounding chaos and transforming into a chessboard of nineteen crisscrossing starlight beams. The chess pieces formed from Yin and Yang energies also fell rapidly, forming a chess formation that surrounded the Heavenly Emperor and the Dharma Body of Pangu on the opposite side.

The Five Elements Spirit Pearls also unleashed their five elements radiance, heading towards the Heavenly Emperor opposite them to seal him off, while the Two Extremes Magnetic Hairpins also transformed into a Magnetic Sword Array, bombarding the opposite side.

The Dragon-Tiger Fan, the God-Locking Chain, the Chaos Green Gourd, and other treasures flew out rapidly, each unleashing its full power as they attacked the Heavenly Emperor and Pangu's Dharma Body on the opposite side.

"Hmph! You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but can all those fancy moves withstand a single axe blow?"

The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, and bolts of heavenly lightning appeared out of thin air, emitting thunderous roars that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. As soon as these bolts of heavenly lightning appeared, they quickly blasted towards the incoming magical treasures!

At the same time, the ten-thousand-foot-tall Pangu Dharma Body once again stepped forward, fiercely swinging out the Pangu Axe in its hand!

A great battle was about to erupt. Beyond the endless starry sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes shone with wonder as she gazed upon it.

"This fellow Daoist's abilities are truly astonishing; how could he have achieved such a feat?"

Although she knew from the beginning that this fellow Daoist Niu Yi was no ordinary person, she still couldn't help but be amazed to see that he could fight against the Heavenly Emperor of this world in just over seventy years.

This person's talent, temperament, and background are all top-notch. In particular, the magical treasures around him are so powerful that even if Fellow Daoist Niu uses them all at once, it's as easy as waving an arm or a finger. This is truly remarkable.

You should know that even she was somewhat terrified when she saw those magical treasures.

"However, in this case, the outcome is somewhat uncertain, unless the Heavenly Emperor truly intends to suppress this fellow Daoist in this realm, using all his abilities and power to suppress him through the Heavenly Dao."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head slightly. In fact, this matter had little to do with her. After all, in the end, this matter was also due to the Heavenly Emperor's background and the promise he made back then.

She stayed here to observe, partly to reassure the others, and partly to prevent the two in front of her from getting into a fight and destroying the Endless Star Sea.

Guanyin Bodhisattva watched for thirty days, and the two people, who had also grown for a full thirty days, reappeared from a chaotic vortex.

At this moment, both the Heavenly Emperor and Niu Yi were somewhat disheveled. On Niu Yi's shoulder was a magnificent, colorful bird with a slightly charred left shoulder, staring fiercely at the Heavenly Emperor opposite him with wide eyes.

However, the Heavenly Emperor was, after all, the ruler of this realm, and his injuries and aura were recovering at a visible speed. Meanwhile, Niu Yi, on the other side, was also slowly recovering amidst the colorful light emanating from the colorful birds around him.

"Hmph! You do have some skill. The magical treasures and supernatural powers you just displayed were all-encompassing. There are very few disciples in the Three Realms who can teach such disciples. Your master, Patriarch Bodhi, is one of them."

The Heavenly Emperor dusted off the dust from his clothes and shook his head, saying:

"But that's not important. What's important is that you've proven yourself, and I can now hand over what I've been saving to you."

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor seemed very relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was nowhere to be seen in his tense and ready-to-attack posture just now.

As the Heavenly Emperor spoke, he casually waved his hand towards the sea of ​​stars below the two of them, and a seemingly ordinary, palm-sized, bone-yellow jade stone quickly flew out from it and landed in front of Niu Yi.

“Take it. You are indeed worthy of it. It is a gift left by Pangu for future generations.”

Niu Yi looked at the seemingly ordinary jade stone before him with a solemn expression. Upon seeing it, he inexplicably knew that it not only came from the Three Realms but was also extremely ancient. The primordial energy emanating from it was still that of a unified, chaotic universe—a feeling he had experienced himself within the Chaos Green Gourd years ago.
"What is this."

Seeing the serious look in Niu Yi's eyes, the Heavenly Emperor chuckled and said:

"This is Pangu's memory, the memory of the time when heaven and earth were created."

"This is the gift he prepared for you, a gift for you, a cultivator of the Primordial Dao Fruit who has recreated the world in the Three Realms."
