Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 361 Mountains and Rivers, Eight Masters

"I really don't want to face you, but this time it seems I can't avoid it."

Zi Xiao sensed the vast and powerful aura hidden in all directions, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The moment Taiwei appeared, he sensed that several other beings had blocked all his escape routes, leaving him no choice but to confront Taiwei head-on.

In reality, these beings blocking Zixiao's path were Taiwei's Great Luo Dao Fruit clones. Taiwei would not choose to outnumber the weak, but he also could not let Zixiao leave easily. Unless Zixiao could defeat him head-on or even kill him, he would have no chance of escaping.

Zi Xiao looked at the silver lightning bolts leaping in the sky, and at the Creation Jade Disc between her brows, which was covered with rings of bright white stardust. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Zixiao, the supreme treasure of the Primordial Chaos, had seen the Nine Li Heavenly Demon several times. In terms of essence, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon was far inferior to the Creation Jade Disc, which was born from the origin of the Heavenly Dao, and it was not even considered powerful among the supreme treasures of the Primordial World.

However, in this clash between the Nine Li Heavenly Demon and the Jade Disc of Creation, Zi Xiao used almost all of the Jade Disc of Creation right from the start. Yet, even so, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon, who was extremely weak, managed to block it. Zi Xiao keenly sensed that the Nine Li Heavenly Demon had undergone a tremendous change compared to before.

"It seems you've noticed as well. I've reforged the Nine Li Heavenly Demon, and I've barely managed to refine this supreme treasure of the Void into a great perfection. Although it's still not complete, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon is now powerful enough to block your Jade Disc of Creation."

Taiwei looked at Zixiao and spoke calmly. Seeing the disdain on Zixiao's face, Taiwei did not argue. Facts would prove everything he said.

Silvery-white lightning penetrated deep into the sky and the earth, distorting the sky, boiling the sea of ​​clouds, cracking the earth, and spewing forth dragon energy. All the myriad phenomena between heaven and earth began to surge under the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon.

Everything collapsed, the sea of ​​clouds crumbled, and a huge vortex distorted and severed the space-time around Zixiao. Only then did Zixiao's expression change drastically.

The power of the Creation Jade Disc transformed into three thousand shimmering white rays of light, attempting to break through the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon. However, amidst the tremors and collapses of countless cold lights, the enormous vortex evolved by the Nine Li Heavenly Demon merely twisted slightly, thus blocking the power of the Creation Jade Disc.

The surging fortune burned, and the power of the Creation Jade Disc began to be fully unsealed. The Nine Li Heavenly Demon was also instantly unsealed under the great power of the Limitless Balance Heaven. The two supreme treasures of the Void collided again, and the dark vortex in the void collided tens of thousands of times, stirring up a vast and mighty tide of primordial energy.

Zi Xiao's expression changed slightly. The power of the Creation Jade Disc still failed to break through the blockade of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon. What Zi Xiao did not know was that Taiwei had connected the origins of several of his Taixu Supreme Treasures to the Wuji Hengtian over the years.

In other words, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon has become part of the Boundless Balanced Heaven, and therefore, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon can be completely unsealed at any time.

Furthermore, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon also underwent a new round of sublimation after merging with the true meaning of the Great Dao representing the way of mountains and rivers in the Wuji Hengtian, becoming a top-level treasure that is no weaker than the Creation Jade Disc.

The massive vortex formed by billions of silver currents collided continuously with the three thousand tearing and expanding Heavenly Dao Laws. The fully unsealed Nine Li Heavenly Demon and the Jade Disc of Creation unleashed power far exceeding that of the Great Luo Dao Lord. Upon seeing this, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of Taiwei and Zixiao.

The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon and the Creation Jade Disc collided once again. Amidst the deafening roar, large swaths of purple energy and silver lightning exploded, sending Taiwei and Zixiao flying backward.

Even Taiwei and Zixiao, as the owners of the two fully unsealed Supreme Treasures, cannot guarantee that they will not be harmed by the violent power of the Supreme Treasures. Therefore, the best solution now is for Supreme Treasures to fight Supreme Treasures and cultivators to fight cultivators.

Taiwei had full confidence in his Nine Li Heavenly Demon, and similarly, Zixiao believed that his Creation Jade Disc was enough to defeat the Nine Li Heavenly Demon.

With a flourish of his sleeves, the ten chakras behind Taiwei's head burned with brilliant golden flames, and the power of the Flowing Heaven and Union Dao Fruit connected Taiwei with the sun star of the primordial world.

As the Sun Lord descended, his pure golden eyes opened, and ten extremely thin solar silk threads intertwined and rotated around Taiwei's body. The glittering golden divine light of the sun burst forth from every inch of Taiwei's skin, and thousands of purple lightning bolts were extinguished by Taiwei with a single flick of his sleeve.

Taiwei looked at Zixiao with a cold expression. He had come here with the determination to kill Zixiao. With a flick of his feathered robes and sleeves, countless fiery dragons roared and exploded. Taiwei's figure transformed into a long rainbow and rushed to Zixiao's side.

"The essence of the power of the Flowing Heaven and Universe Dao Fruit is connection and severance. The power that tore everything apart before was severance, and now the power to control the origin of the Sun Star seems to be connection. It is simple but extremely powerful. I underestimated this Great Luo Dao Fruit before."

"My Senluo Wandao Fruit is like the control of all the primordial power of the universe within a large range, while Taiwei's Liutian Hezhou Dao Fruit is a one-to-one connection and control of the great power of nature. Of course, it is also possible that this Da Luo Dao Fruit can view the entire primordial world as a whole..."

The power of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Fruit burst forth, and Zi Xiao immediately used his own Great Luo Dao Fruit as well. The primordial power of the universe gathered on Zi Xiao's body, and his aura sublimated several times. Purple lightning and golden light burst forth in Zi Xiao's eyes, and a pure white and gorgeous Heavenly Dao Sword appeared in Zi Xiao's palm.

The Heavenly Dao Sword is the second Supreme Treasure of the Void that Zi Xiao is planning. Unfortunately, Zi Xiao does not yet have enough rare and precious materials to refine it. However, even so, the Heavenly Dao Sword is only one step away from becoming a Supreme Treasure of the Void.

A pure white sword light, carrying the immense power of heaven and earth, tore the sky and the earth apart. Taiwei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand. Without using any magic weapon, the essence of the Sun Star transformed into the most powerful and domineering Great Sun Sword Light in the world, meeting the pure white Heavenly Dao Sword Light head-on without flinching.

A huge, pitch-black crack silently appeared in the sky. Beneath the split sky, Taiwei and Zixiao passed each other, their two terrifying sword intents piercing through the mountains and rivers of the distant other side of time and space.

The pure golden Great Sun Sword Light slashed out once more, and at the same time, the pure white Heavenly Dao Sword evolved into three thousand Heavenly Dao True Meanings, like a Heavenly Dao Net covering the entire primordial world, sealing off the trajectory of all changes in the Great Sun Sword Light.

With a cold look in his eyes, Taiwei Sword Pointer turned, and the overwhelming Sun Sword Light suddenly contracted. The extreme brilliance gave birth to extreme darkness and nothingness. The extremely dark Sun Sword tore open the magnificent and boundless net of the Heavenly Dao like a spacetime rift.

A crisp metallic sound rang out, and the pure white Heavenly Dao sword lights in front of Taiwei collapsed one after another. The Dark Sun Sword, which devoured everything, was even more bizarre and desolate than the Great Sun Sword. Even the vast sword light unleashed by the Heavenly Dao Sword could not restrain such dark and profound sword light.

Taiwei spread his five fingers on his left hand, and the vast oceans of the primordial world trembled and roared in unison. The power of the boundless oceans was controlled by the power of the Flowing Heaven and Union Dao Fruit.

As the Sea Lord descended, Taiwei's left half of his body radiated a vast, dark blue spiritual light. With his left hand, he unleashed a fist-shaped imprint in front of him, and thousands upon thousands of massive waves, carrying a terrifying power capable of swallowing everything in the world, obliterated all things between heaven and earth.

Purple energy soared into the sky, spanning heaven and earth. Zixiao made a hand seal with his right hand, and countless innate purple energies, carrying the primordial power of the universe, completely shattered the world-destroying flood. Amidst the explosion of water droplets and giant waves, Taiwei and Zixiao officially began their battle.

The clashing auras of the two Great Luo Dao Lords attracted the attention of other Great Luo Dao Lords in the Primordial World. This was the first major battle among these top Primordial True Saints after they were promoted to Great Luo Dao Lords.

The relationship between Taiwei and Zixiao also destined this battle to be anything but a hasty one. The Sun Lord and the Sea Lord are compatible. Taiwei uses his left hand to control the endless waves and his right hand to unleash the blazing torches, crushing the pure white Dao sword light in front of him time and time again.

The nine crimson jade characters on the Heavenly Dao Sword, representing the origins of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, shone brightly. Looking at the explosive and domineering Great Sun Pure Yang Sword Light in front of him, Zi Xiao wore a leisurely and confident smile. Only now did the true power of the Heavenly Dao Sword begin to be unleashed.

The first of the nine crimson jade characters lit up, and the vast and boundless will of heaven descended. The pure sword light, formless and intangible yet surpassing all phenomena, pierced through the thousands of roaring waves in front of Taiwei.

Vast, indifferent, magnificent, sublime—the sword light, perfectly embodying the Dao of Heaven, tore through the roaring tide with ultimate nobility and splendor.

Left with no other choice, Taiwei had to draw upon the essence of the Sun Star once more, unleashing a magnificent golden light of pure Yang, which deflected the supreme and supreme Qian Tian Dao Yuan Sword in front of him.

A dark sword mark, seemingly endless, was sliced ​​open across the sky, and Taiwei looked at the nine crimson jade characters on the Heavenly Dao Sword opposite him, each embodying the laws of the universe, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Heavenly Dao Sword, which was originally some distance from being a Supreme Treasure of the Void, has become comparable to a Supreme Treasure of the Void in its normal state after the appearance of these nine crimson jade characters. Moreover, for some reason, Taiwei felt an extremely chilling threat from this Heavenly Dao Sword, which had the potential to severely injure him.

His expression suddenly turned serious. The pure gold of the Sun Lord and the deep blue of the Sea Lord intertwined, and the power of the Flowing Heaven and Universe Dao Fruit was sublimated once again. The energy on Taiwei's body began to boil and surge continuously.

In the vast and desolate world, the mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars began to tremble in unison, and the eight most primordial forces between heaven and earth transformed into an eight-colored crown flame rainbow cloak, which was draped over Taiwei's body.

It represents the Sun Lord, the Sea Lord, the Moon Lord, the Yang Lord, the Yin Lord, the Soldier Lord, the Land Lord, and the Heaven Lord, representing the Heavenly Way of Qian Yuan.

The power of the eight masters converged on Taiwei's body. This was the limit of the power that the Flowing Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit could connect at this stage. The power of the eight masters continued to boil, and Taiwei's whole body seemed to have been transformed into a mass of chaos that devoured all light matter under the power of the eight masters.

Heaven and earth, yin and yang, sun and moon, mountains and seas—an indescribable, boundless power erupted from Taiwei's body. At this moment, Taiwei's cultivation level had not improved significantly, but his combat power was already approaching the limit of the Great Luo Daojun realm.

A violent and profound power poured down from Taiwei's body in all directions like mercury. Looking at Taiwei at this moment, Zixiao's smile had unknowingly disappeared.

"Eight fundamental elements of heaven and earth..."

A shadow flashed in Zi Xiao's eyes. The nine crimson jade characters on the pure white Heavenly Dao Sword shone brightly. To deal with Taiwei, who now carries eight kinds of the origin of heaven and earth, he had to maximize the power of the Heavenly Dao Sword in his hand.

The nine fundamental forces of Heaven and Earth—Heaven, Earth, Pure Yang, Supreme Yin, Metal (Geng and Xin), Wood (Jia and Yi), Water (Ren and Gui), Fire (Bing and Ding), and Earth (Wu and Ji)—also erupted from the Sword of Heaven. The power of the Myriad Phenomena Dao Fruit perfectly restrained the nine violent fundamental forces of Heaven on the Sword of Heaven.

The eight masters were fighting against the nine Heavenly Dao Origins. Taiwei and Zixiao had not expected that their opponents could raise their combat power to such an extent. At this moment, the strength that Taiwei and Zixiao displayed had already surpassed most of the Great Luo Dao Lords of the same realm, which made the other Great Luo Dao Lords in the Primordial World not look very good.

However, Taiwei and Zixiao had no time to pay attention to these things. Zixiao, holding the Heavenly Dao Sword, was filled with an indescribable and terrifying presence, as if he had transcended dimensions. At this moment, Zixiao had even touched a trace of the mystery that belonged exclusively to the Hunyuan Daluo Daojun.

In contrast, Taiwei showed no aura whatsoever; instead, he was like a mass of darkness, devouring everything around him.

Zixiao's aura was constantly expanding outward, occupying everything between heaven and earth, while Taiwei's aura was constantly contracting, erasing its own existence from heaven and earth. This extreme opposition between the two auras triggered terrifying changes in the heavens and earth from the very beginning.

Black lightning twisted and shattered everything, while pure white sword light devoured all things in the world. Lightning bolts crisscrossed, and the clouds, mountains, and rivers between heaven and earth collapsed together.

In its eight principal states, Taiwei transformed into eight fundamental elements that constitute all things in the world, vying with the Heavenly Sword and the Myriad Phenomena Dao Fruit, which also control these fundamental elements, for control over the myriad phenomena of the world.

What was originally a fierce battle turned into a struggle for the fundamental Dao of Heaven and Earth. In the clash between black and white, the wills and origins of Taiwei and Zixiao became entangled, gradually transforming into a pair of black and white fish chasing and devouring each other.

Zixiao's will spread throughout the heavens and earth, merging into the endless spacetime, erasing any trace of Taiwei's existence.

The Great Luo Dao Lord has already transcended cause and effect. If Zi Xiao wants to kill Tai Wei, he can only erase all traces of Tai Wei's existence. However, what Zi Xiao does not know is that Tai Wei possesses the Wuji Hengtian, which has nurtured a Heavenly Dao.

Taiwei's own origin has long been integrated with Wuji Hengtian. Wuji Hengtian is Taiwei, and Taiwei is Wuji Hengtian.
