Pangu Phantom
He remembered that last time, a single strand of the spear's Source Qi had pierced the back of his hand.
Even then, his physical body had been far stronger than those of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Now, this was the God-Slaying Spear itself, and its power was sure to be even more terrifying.
If the spear struck him, he might not come out of it unscathed.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please enter the formation!"
Luohu extended a hand in invitation.
Inside Luohu's Demon Palace.
A dense, heavy presence was gathering. A blood-red color gradually spread, and boundless killing intent bore down upon everything.
The Source Qi of the four Immortal Slaying Swords stood at the four corners of the hall. Sword Qi shimmered, poised to strike and imbued with boundless intent to destroy.
Luohu's Avatar held the God-Slaying Spear itself. Terrifying demonic might poured out, shaking the entire Demon Palace. Strands of Demonic Qi wreathed his body, connecting with the Demonic Qi of the western lands.
Fuxi's gaze sharpened. He could tell that this Avatar was far more formidable than the one he had destroyed before!
It seemed that during this time, Luohu had continuously absorbed the Calamity Fiendish Qi of heaven and earth, making considerable progress in his cultivation. Even this Avatar was no longer what it had once been.
"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Fuxi? Don't you dare come in?" Luohu asked provocatively.
Faced with Luohu's supremely confident invitation, Fuxi suddenly broke into a smile. "Why wouldn't I dare?"
As his words fell, Fuxi stepped forward and entered the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
"Such courage! As expected of Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"
Seeing Fuxi enter the formation, Luohu laughed aloud.
An incomparably terrifying presence suddenly surged from Luohu's Avatar. Across countless millions of miles, countless members of the Demon Clan prostrated themselves on the ground, utterly terrified.
Even experts at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm were as insignificant as ants before this presence.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please, do me the favor of appraising my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!"
As his words fell, killing intent suddenly surged from the four Pseudo-Immortal Slaying Swords. Blood-red light filled the entire Demon Palace, and razor-sharp Immortal Slaying Sword intent erupted from them, coiling around Fuxi.
The howls of the swords joined into a single unbroken sound, like hundreds of millions of bees buzzing beside his ears.
Though this Immortal-Slaying Formation was not the original, across the entire Primordial World, those who could withstand its power probably numbered no more than three.
Even so, though he faced the foremost great formation of the Dao of slaughter, Fuxi's expression barely changed.
In fact, before coming, he had made ample preparations for whatever countermeasures Luohu might take.
Since he had dared to come, a mere Pseudo-Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and a Quasi-Sage Avatar naturally could not do anything to him.
"Fellow Daoist Luohu, let me see what you're capable of today!"
Fuxi spoke calmly. At the same time, his Qi changed, and terrifying pressure descended upon the main hall of the Demon Palace. Brilliant, mysterious Dao Rhymes swirled around him.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Space seemed unable to withstand the force, making a sound like shattering glass.
An incomparably majestic and terrifying phantom appeared behind Fuxi, becoming a sky-supporting pillar that stood between heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth seemed to wail at that moment, as though utterly unable to bear the terrifying pressure.
A law appeared between heaven and earth.
At once, heaven and earth changed color, and earth, wind, water, and fire collapsed.
As though unable to bear the pressure, Mount Sumeru trembled across countless millions of miles.
Sensing the source of the power Fuxi had displayed, Luohu's eyes flashed with horror, and he cried out.
"Pangu!!"
During their last clash, Luohu had learned that Fuxi had comprehended the Law of Force, but he had not expected him to have traveled so far along that path, much less to be able to summon a phantom of that monster Pangu.
Great God Pangu, son of the Great Dao, had slaughtered the Three Thousand Chaos Gods like dogs. Anything connected to such a being was extraordinary.
Even the God-Slaying Spear in his hand had merely been formed from the rhizome of the Thirty-Six-Grade Chaos Green Lotus, Great God Pangu's companion spiritual treasure.
As a reincarnation of one of the Three Thousand Chaos Gods slain by Pangu's axe, Luohu feared him instinctively.
Deep in his memories, he could still find a trace of fragmented memories of Pangu.
That terrifying body, the force that had sundered chaos, the might that had suppressed all realms.
Even now, recalling it made his heart tremble deep within.
But Fuxi was not Pangu, after all, and what he had summoned was only the phantom of that great god, not the god himself.
Luohu did not need to despair just yet.
Then let me test the power of this phantom first!
Luohu narrowed his eyes, his mind made up.
"Fellow Daoist, please receive a sword strike from me."
As his words fell, endless Demonic Qi rose from Luohu. The Slaughter Law spread and unleashed its power, and terrifying killing intent raged throughout the heavens like an erupting volcano.
Sensing Luohu's will, the four Immortal Slaying Swords shuddered violently. Each released a strand of Source Qi, which condensed into a supreme weapon that defied and slew heaven and earth.
In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color. Space trembled and wailed, and the escaping Sword Qi tore rifts through it.
Luohu swept his wide sleeve, and the heaven-defying sword flashed above Fuxi's head. Boundless killing intent locked firmly onto him, and a presence that could slay all things instantly spread in every direction.
Cold light flashed from the giant sword as it swept down with brutal force.
Looking up at the piercing sword light, Fuxi remained unhurried. He raised a hand and grasped, and the terrifying phantom behind him simultaneously opened its sky-reaching hand and grabbed at the Immortal Slaying Greatsword.
Fuxi, too, had made considerable progress since his last clash with Luohu.
Not only had the Primordial Ancestral Qi within him grown ever closer to perfection and his understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos deepened, but after cultivating for a long time in Pangu Hall and studying its many mysteries, he had also gained a profound understanding of the Law of Force.
The Pangu Phantom behind him was the result of his recent cultivation, possessing a trace of Great God Pangu's might.
Though it was only a trace, less than one hundred millionth of the original's, the power it contained was certainly not to be underestimated.
The giant hand moved, shattering space inch by inch in its path. Heaven and earth seemed to collapse and cave in beneath it, as though the whole of heaven and earth were held in its grasp.
The hand appeared slow, but it was as swift as lightning. Before the giant sword could react, it had been seized like a toothpick.
The Immortal Slaying Greatsword darted and thrashed, its slaughterous presence surging without cease. Streams of Sword Qi capable of annihilating all living beings burst from its edge and struck the great hand with a clanging ring.
Yet no matter how the giant sword struggled, the great hand held it fast and did not budge, seemingly unaffected.
The Law of Force encircled the giant hand as it gradually exerted a force that could destroy everything. Its grip tightened, squeezing inward as though it could crush even heaven and earth.
The Immortal Slaying Greatsword struggled with all its might, but to no avail. As time passed, several cracks appeared in its blade.
For all its power, the Immortal Slaying Greatsword could not withstand the strength of the giant hand.
The cracks multiplied, growing ever denser.
Boom!!
