A Bountiful Haul of Supreme Treasures
Boom!
As the unquestioned mightiest great expert of the time, the power unleashed by Luohu's self-destruction was naturally enough to shake the world.
A vast cloud of vapor shot into the sky, while a massive torrent of spiritual power and chaotic baleful Qi spread in every direction.
Everything within countless hundreds of millions of li of Luohu was instantly vaporized, and the surrounding space began to fluctuate violently.
Even Fuxi, who had already fled, was caught within its reach.
In the self-destruction of the great expert Luohu, the western lands of the Primordial World seemed for a moment ready to revert to earth, water, wind, and fire.
The immense tide of spiritual power tore open the ground, blasting apart even the framework of the western lands and the Primordial Continent.
The countless spiritual veins Luohu had gathered cracked and broke at the same instant, leaving heaven and earth looking like the end of days.
The moment the explosion occurred, Fuxi had already begun frantically mobilizing every bit of power within him.
Whether Dao Patterns, Primordial Ancestral Qi, the Fuxi Qin, or the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
Although he was currently in a weakened state, he could still withstand Luohu's madness with those means at his disposal.
After all, he had fled long ago, unlike Hongjun and Yang Mei, who were at the very center.
So even if he suffered a setback, it was nothing serious to Fuxi.
Daoist Hongjun was lucky as well, for the Taiji Diagram he carried proved immensely useful.
The supreme defensive treasure transformed into a golden bridge, stabilizing heaven, earth, and Qiankun and sheltering the space around him.
Of course, he was at the center, after all, so even with the Taiji Diagram, Hongjun still spat out three mouthfuls of blood in succession.
The most unfortunate of all was Great Immortal Yang Mei.
As the reincarnation of the Space Demon God, Yang Mei's strength naturally went without saying.
His mastery of the Law of Space was enough to let him look down on all under heaven.
Within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, it was thanks to him that they had managed to hold back Luohu, whose strength had soared.
His weakness, however, was equally obvious: he had no suitable Magic Treasures on hand, so when faced with Luohu's self-destruction, he could only endure it head-on.
The price naturally went without saying.
Great Immortal Yang Mei's body shattered repeatedly, leaving him in a sorry state. Had he not, at the final critical moment, activated the power within him to tear open the space of the Primordial World and flee into the chaos, he would likely have been grievously injured, if not killed outright.
The explosion lasted a while, though not all that long. After weathering its shockwaves, Fuxi immediately and decisively rushed toward Luohu.
After Luohu's self-destruction, however, the outcome of the Dao-Devil War was plain to see.
Though Hongjun was spitting blood, he still wore a faint smile.
He could not help throwing back his head and laughing!
After plotting for so long and living through such a vast stretch of time, he had finally gotten his wish.
Although, from the very beginning, Hongjun's confidence had taken a severe blow.
Most of the people he had drawn to his side were turncoats, and the battle at the final moment had little to do with him.
But did that matter?
Wasn't the real point that he had outlasted Luohu and laughed last?
But just as Hongjun was laughing, a streak of light shot past him.
That streak of light was none other than Fuxi, who still had some strength left after withstanding Luohu's self-destruction.
Upon seeing what Fuxi was doing, Hongjun was instantly overcome with rage.
"Fuxi, you!"
As it turned out, although Luohu had self-destructed, that did not mean his supreme treasures, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the God-Slaying Spear, would vanish with him.
Both were among the most formidable offensive supreme treasures in the Primordial World, and in Luohu's hands, they had naturally been ferocious beyond compare.
But if anyone else obtained them, they too could gain the might to stand unrivaled!
And those two supreme treasures were now at the very center of the explosion!
Fuxi was on his way to collect the two Magic Treasures.
How could he possibly let anyone else have treasures like these?
Hongjun certainly did not want to see that happen, but his injuries were severe, and the explosion just now had badly damaged his vitality.
Thus, Hongjun had no means to compete with Fuxi for the two offensive supreme treasures, much less when Fuxi already had a head start.
All Hongjun could do was curse furiously.
Meanwhile, Fuxi reached the site of Luohu's explosion without trouble, where two supreme treasures radiated baleful Qi that soared to the heavens.
What else could they be but the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and their Formation Diagram, and the God-Slaying Spear?
A flash of delight crossed Fuxi's eyes, and with a sweep of his hand, he stowed the two supreme treasures away.
Though he had not yet refined them, the two supreme treasures could only belong to Fuxi; no one could take them away, not even Hongjun!
But those two treasures were not all Fuxi wanted.
He also used a divine ability to stow away the Qiankun Cauldron, which had fallen not far away.
The Qiankun Cauldron was Daoist Qiankun's companion spiritual treasure. Its power was extraordinary, and it had the remarkable ability to transform the acquired into the innate. It was truly wondrous.
In offensive power, the Qiankun Cauldron naturally fell short of the other supreme treasures, but its special property suited Fuxi's Way of Creation quite well.
Even if he did not use it himself, keeping it for Nuwa would be a good choice.
Compared with the other demon gods' Magic Treasures, the Qiankun Cauldron was the most valuable treasure present aside from the God-Slaying Spear and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.
This time, Fuxi had truly filled his pots and bowls to the brim, obtaining not only Luohu's Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, God-Slaying Spear, and Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, but also Daoist Qiankun's Qiankun Cauldron.
That made a full three Innate Supreme Treasures and one supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
As for the other demon gods' Magic Treasures, they were collected by Hongjun, who was unwilling to accept the outcome.
Unable to fight for the most valuable ones, he saw no reason to let the rest go to waste.
After collecting the treasures, Hongjun's condition had recovered considerably, but as he stared at Fuxi, his gaze flickered, and he did not dare act rashly.
After all, he could not see through Fuxi's true condition.
Moreover, both of them knew perfectly well that defeating Luohu this time had not had half a thing to do with Hongjun; it was entirely because Fuxi had thwarted Luohu's trick from outside.
Hongjun had no idea just how strong Fuxi was!
Thus, although he realized that Fuxi's taking the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords was an enormous loss to him,
Hongjun still had to put on a smile and say to Fuxi,
"Many thanks for your help this time, fellow Daoist!"
"I sent you a message earlier, fellow Daoist, but never received a reply. I thought you were going to break your promise!"
He still could not put the matter out of his mind.
After all, he had been stood up.
Naturally, there was a hint of reproach in his words.
Fuxi, however, paid it no mind and said calmly, "Had I not done so, I'm afraid I would have been trapped in the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation along with you, Daoist Hongjun."
At the mention of this, Hongjun's face darkened.
That was a sore spot for him!
For all his meticulous calculations, he had ultimately failed to escape Luohu's clutches.
His victory in this Dao-Devil War was hardly glorious!
And just as Hongjun was wrestling with his thoughts,
Fuxi glanced at the slightly annoyed Hongjun and said with a light chuckle, "It seems I should congratulate you, fellow Daoist!"
No sooner had he spoken than boundless golden clouds of Merit came drifting through the sky.
