Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

Upon hearing about the tomb raiders' actions—spitting and carving their names on the ancestral hall's inscriptions—Xu Jinhuan had already guessed the truth quite accurately.

Duan De.

Who else could be so shameless besides that guy?

Based on the ages of Fairy Zixia and Yao Xi, he had deduced the current timeline and concluded that it would be about a year before Ye Fan descended upon Beidou on the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Duan De had already become active in the Eastern Wilderness, starting to frequent the mausoleums of various holy sites.

……

The mysterious tomb raider attracted the attention of many people in the sacred site, but the discussion continued.

Xiang Yifei of the Dayan Holy Land directly forfeited, leaving the final suspense for this group to fall on Zixia and Zhu Wuji.

The atmosphere was tense, like a battleground.

Zhu Wuji stood in the center of the battle platform, a slight smile on his face.

"You think that defeating Li Donglai will make you a saintess?"

"Don't worry, you won't get past me. I'll crush your beautiful head under my feet, just like I did before."

Zixia said, "Your heart is as ugly as you are."

"It's just a discussion of the Dao. Even though Zifu and Wanchu have a long-standing feud, I've never seen any disciple of Zifu humiliate others like you..."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Wuji roared, his face contorted with rage.

He seemed extremely sensitive to the word "ugly," as if someone had touched his most painful spot.

The name "Wan Chu" is derived from "the beginning of all laws and the origin of all paths".

Its founder believed that the beginning was the time before heaven and earth were separated and chaos was divided.

All laws, all paths, and all supernatural powers evolve from the "beginning." The Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings seeks to trace back to that very origin and point directly to the root of the Great Dao.

In addition to the incomplete "Slaying Myself Mingdao Technique", Zhu Wuji also practiced a Huntai Yuangong.

Using his own Dao Palace as a furnace, he refined the Five Elements Divine Treasury to its ultimate level, and then used the power of mutual generation of the Five Elements to drive the Chaos Embryo to break out of its cocoon.

This is also why his divine status far surpasses that of ordinary people.

At this moment, Zhu Wuji had almost reached the pinnacle of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Even compared to figures like the Holy Son of Yaoguang and Ji Haoyue, he believed he would not lose.

"Primordial Chaos Technique, Thick Earth!"

Enveloped in the power of earth, Zhu Wuji instantly moved close to Zixia, ready for a close-quarters battle.

Although the innate Dao embryo is in harmony with the Great Dao, its physical strength is slightly insufficient compared to the top-tier physique. The innate sacred body Dao embryo is the more perfect physique.

Zhu Wuji immediately tried to use his strengths to attack Zhu Wuji's weaknesses, and when he got close, he threw a punch.

Zixia's expression changed slightly, and she retreated quickly, revealing the Dao mark of three petals between her eyebrows, which shimmered with purple light.

She raised her hand and unleashed a powerful force to block in front of her, using the force to propel herself backward several feet.

"boom!"

The purple light dissipated, causing her arms to go numb. The opponent's physical strength was too terrifying to withstand head-on.

Zhu Wuji, however, pressed his advantage and unleashed his second punch.

Zixia used her movement technique again to barely dodge the attack.

"road!"

Fairy Zixia directly communicated with the origin of the Dao Embryo, and endless energy flowed into her body.

"useless!"

Zhu Wuji produced a Bagua diagram and draped it over his body.

The image was ancient, woven from unknown divine silkworm silk, and covered with Daoist patterns, shimmering with a chaotic radiance.

The moment the Dao diagram enveloped him, Zhu Wuji's body shone with golden light, his aura soared, completely isolating him from Zixia's omnipresent pressure from the Great Dao.

"Is this the Qian Yuan Bagua diagram of the Wan Chu Sacred Land?"

"It is said that this picture was once the seat of the Wan Chu Elder, the founder of the Wan Chu Holy Land. Although it has no offensive power, it can resist external erosion and remains unmoved."

Zixia frowned slightly. The suppression of the Great Dao Origin had been weakened by more than half, and the greatest advantage of the Innate Dao Embryo had been negated by that diagram.

Without further hesitation, she lightly raised her hand, and the Purple Mansion Landscape Painting flew out from her sleeve, unfolding in the wind.

As the scroll unfolds, a vast landscape unfolds. Zixia's figure flashes and merges with a majestic mountain peak in the painting, her aura calm and unshakeable.

"fall!"

She raised her hand and pointed, and the endless stars in the picture began to fall, each one trailing a fiery tail, crashing towards Zhu Wuji like meteorites from outer space.

That was formed from the great power of heaven and earth sealed in the landscape painting, weighing more than ten thousand jun, enough to smash ordinary Dao Palace cultivators into mincemeat.

"That's all there is to it!"

Zhu Wuji stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding, letting the stars fall upon him.

"boom!"

Stars rained down on him, exploding into a sky full of starlight. The Dao patterns on the Qian Yuan Bagua diagram flowed, and the falling stars were calmed.

"A primordial Dao embryo, nothing more than that," he sneered. "Your Dao can't harm me, your techniques can't break my defenses. What do you have to fight me with?"

Zixia put away the Mountain and River Map. She knew that although the Mountain and River Map was powerful, it was indeed insufficient against a supreme treasure like the Qian Yuan Bagua Map, which specialized in defense.

Let's try a different approach then.

"Purple Cloud Heavenly Steps"

She uttered the words softly and took a step forward.

The innate Dao embryo, aided by the power of heaven and earth, is unmatched by anyone.

In that instant, her figure left a trail of afterimages on the battle stage, and even the disciples of the Four Extremes Secret Realm could only see a streak of light.

Zhu Wuji's pupils contracted slightly as he swung his fist at the streak of light, but his fist missed its mark.

Zixia was already behind him, and with a palm strike, purple energy cascaded down, landing solidly on his back.

"Bang!"

Zhu Wuji staggered forward two steps, but only swayed slightly before turning around and sweeping his fist horizontally.

Zixia had already dodged and reappeared on his left, striking again with a palm.

One palm strike, two palm strikes, three palm strikes...

Zixia's movements were incredibly fast, flashing unpredictably, but the defense of the Qian Yuan Bagua Diagram was too astonishing, and most of her palm strike was deflected.

"Is all you can do to run?" Zhu Wuji roared, then suddenly clasped his hands together.

"Chaotic Primordial Essence Technique, Mysterious Water!"

An endless torrent of black divine water surged forth, like a dam bursting, submerging the battle platform. It was as heavy as a mountain and carried a strange power that seemed to freeze time and space.

The surging waves trapped Zixia's figure within them, and her Ziyun Tianbu technique was severely restricted in the heavy water, causing her speed to drop sharply.

Around the battle platform, disciples exclaimed in surprise, "This is the Profound Water Domain! Apart from the Ji family's Void Technique, no one can break this barrier!"

Zhu Wuji rode the waves, carrying the chilling aura of the Xuan Water and the intense heat of his own blood and qi, and unleashed a punch.

Zixia's gaze sharpened, and instead of retreating, she advanced.

She raised her hand, and a great purple light shone around her. Countless spider lilies bloomed from beneath her feet, layer upon layer, beautiful yet resolute.

"break!"

The Xuan Shui Chong Yuan was forcibly torn open, and Zi Xia broke free from the crack, striking Zhu Wuji's face with a palm.

Zhu Wuji had no time to dodge and could only raise his arm to block.

"Bang!"

"That's interesting," Zhu Wuji licked his lips, "but not enough!"

"Primordial Chaos Technique, Heavenly Fire!"

He raised his hands high, and countless sparks fell from the sky—the primordial fire of the God of Fire.

……

Within the sea of ​​suffering, Xu Jinhuan's thoughts had returned, and he was constantly paying attention to the battle situation.

Since the Tree of All Heavens took root with its second host, Yao Xi, it seems to have undergone an astonishing change.

He discovered that the "Dongjun Emperor Record" that he had comprehended during his cultivation in Zixia could also be transformed into Taoist magic and unleashed.

It was a strange feeling. He and Zixia were like two souls in one body. Although he did not have specific cultivation, he could use Zixia's divine power to perform Taoist magic.

"Fairy, I'll lend you a hand." His voice echoed in the sea of ​​suffering.

Xu Jinhuan took a deep breath and focused his mind.

In that instant, the Dao Tree swayed, and countless golden branches and leaves trembled.

"The Records of the Eastern Emperor, Supreme Yang, the Dawn of Heaven!"
