The Primordial World kept no count of years.
The War-ending Sect had grown considerably, its disciples numbering three thousand.
Yuan Feng, Zu Long, and Shi Qilin all showed signs of breakthroughs; they merely lacked an opportunity!
More precisely, their current realm should be the Quasi-Sage Realm.
Ever since Luo Hou had sent people to investigate Floating Pagoda Island last time, the west had remained peaceful for quite some time.
They had likely discovered the array's strength and were biding their time while considering countermeasures!
With Chi Yu's current realm, how could he not know? They were merely ants. He could not be bothered to act and had simply not taken them seriously.
"Master! Why don't we just kill those Demon Clan members directly?"
Red Sparrow looked at Chi Yu with a puzzled expression.
Chi Yu gave a mysterious smile.
"This Seat is fishing for a big fish! And that big fish is about to take the bait!"
Red Sparrow bit her finger, then curled her lips.
"Master is being all mysterious again!"
Western Demon Hall.
A powerful aura surged forth from where Luo Hou was in seclusion within the Demon Palace!
The Demon Kings were overjoyed.
"Has the Demon Ancestor broken through to that supreme realm?"
One of the Quasi-Saint Demon Kings sensed it, then shook his head.
"More precisely, he has not yet broken through. The Demon Ancestor's current realm should lie between the Quasi-Saint Peak and the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Realm! He is still just a little short of a breakthrough!"
The other Demon Kings were relieved.
"Alas! So he is still just short? It seems the Three Clans must be destroyed after all!"
"Before that, however, This Seat wishes to meet that anomaly."
"Now that This Seat has fully refined the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, and the God Slaying Spear has also been mostly refined, This Seat's strength is now no weaker than that of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal."
An inexplicable confidence welled up in Luo Hou's heart. He then decided to personally head to Floating Pagoda Island and meet Chi Yu.
With a flash, he vanished from his place of seclusion. Armed with only his spear, he left the Western Demon Hall and headed for Floating Pagoda Island.
With a Quasi-Sage's speed, he finally arrived at Floating Pagoda Island several months later.
The sight before him immediately stirred greed within him.
"This place is indeed excellent! A fine cultivation ground. Once This Seat destroys your War-ending Sect, This Seat shall move here!"
He certainly had a big heart. Before even beginning, he was already thinking about the future.
He then walked toward the array and began breaking it.
But how could an array comparable to that of a Saint be broken by a mere Quasi-Sage?
Several years passed in this attempt, yet he achieved nothing.
Luo Hou grew furious!
"Damn it! With This Seat's cultivation and comprehension, I still cannot see through this array! What kind of array is this?"
Just as he muttered complaints to himself, Chi Yu's voice came from behind him.
"This is the War-ending Sect's island-protecting array, the Hunyuan Mítian Creation Array. Empowered by This Seat's creation, none below a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal can break it!"
Luo Hou froze, then turned around.
A handsome man with red hair, dressed in a green War-ending Sect Daoist robe, with an extraordinary and imposing bearing, entered his sight!
"It is you?"
"Oh? You know This Seat?"
Chi Yu sneered.
"Hmph! You are that so-called Azure Dust Battle Ancestor, aren't you? The founder of the War-ending Sect and a tremendous anomaly in the Primordial World!"
"This Seat has been watching you for a long time. Do not be surprised, for you no longer have a chance. In a moment, This Seat will reduce you to ashes and annihilate your body and soul!"
Chi Yu curled his lips in disdain.
"Oh? You are quite confident! Could it be that you do not know This Seat is a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal?"
He had thought Luo Hou would be shocked, but instead—
"Hmph! So what!"
Luo Hou summoned the God Slaying Spear and stood ready!
Chi Yu glanced at it.
"Oh? The God Slaying Spear? If that is all, I am afraid it cannot threaten This Seat!"
Luo Hou sneered.
"Then what about this?"
Four immortal swords appeared before Luo Hou: the Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Killing Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Severing Sword.
Then an array diagram emerged, and the four swords each took their positions!
Chi Yu still smiled disdainfully.
"Heh! The Immortal Slaying Sword Array? Interesting! But if this is all, it is still not enough!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hou burst into laughter!
"What brazen boasting!"
He immediately unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, surrounding Chi Yu as the God Slaying Spear whistled through the air!
"Then taste This Seat's power!"
Luo Hou gripped his spear and attacked Chi Yu, accompanied by four attacks from the Immortal Slaying Swords.
Boom!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The corners of Chi Yu's lips rose, yet he made no movement whatsoever.
In truth, it was because the system's voice, absent for so long, had sounded!
Ding! Detected that the host is battling an enemy! Enemy: Luo Hou (Quasi-Saint Peak) God Slaying Spear (Innate Supreme Slaughtering Treasure) Immortal Slaying Sword Array (Innate Slaughtering Great Array) No matter how strong he is, you are stronger! Congratulations, host! Your physical cultivation has risen to the late-stage Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal! Congratulations, host! You have obtained 100% Demonic Path Law! 50% Sword Dao Laws! Formation Dao Laws advanced to mastery, mastery increased by 5%! 70% Slaughter Law! 50% Tribulation Law! 10% Karma Law (now 30%)! 10% Space Law (now 20%)! 10% Time Law (now 20%).
Immediately afterward, golden light filled Chi Yu's body, and the power of Laws spilled forth.
In but a moment, he vanished without a trace! His speed was so fast that even Luo Hou, standing so close, failed to notice.
When Luo Hou came back to his senses—
He burst into laughter.
In his mind, Chi Yu would soon be reduced to ashes.
Yet he waited for a long time.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Half an hour.
An hour.
Chi Yu was nearly falling asleep. He yawned and said:
"Hey, hey, hey! I say, Luo Hou, can you even do this? Not even a single hair of This Seat has fallen."
Luo Hou stared at Chi Yu in shock.
"How is this possible?"
"How is it not possible? Are you still fighting or not? If not, This Seat is leaving. This Seat is terribly sleepy!"
As for getting rid of Luo Hou, he did not wish to concern himself with that. That was clearly Hongjun and the others' job.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Luo Hou put away the four Immortal Slaying Swords and the God Slaying Spear, transforming into a cloud of black ash and vanishing without a trace!
If This Seat cannot beat you, can This Seat not run away?
Chi Yu had never intended to chase him. He curled his lips in great disdain!
"Tch~ Is that all? What a waste of This Seat's expression!"
He turned around, opened the array, and returned to Azure Dust Palace to condense his Merit Golden Wheel!
He had nearly forgotten about that Merit Golden Wheel, only recalling it recently!
After returning to Azure Dust Palace, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began drawing upon the remaining three portions of Great Dao Merit.
Though there were only three portions, they were still an immense amount.
One day.
Two days.
Several months.
One year.
At an unknown time.
On this day,
A strange phenomenon suddenly erupted from Azure Dust Palace, startling the disciples. Their expressions varied greatly!
"Has the Venerable Teacher made another breakthrough?"
"We are utterly beyond comparison!"
"By the way, what realm comes after the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Realm?"
All kinds of discussions arose one after another!
"Hahaha! My brother is truly impressive! He actually condensed a Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel!"
"Greetings, Vice Venerable Teacher Qing Wei!"
When the disciples saw Qing Wei arrive, they all bowed in greeting!
"Mm! You may dispense with the formalities!"
Zu Long stepped forward in confusion.
"May I ask the Vice Venerable Teacher, what is a Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel?"
"Mm! Listen as I explain in detail!"
The disciples looked at Qing Wei with anticipation written across their faces.
"This Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel is condensed from Great Dao Merit. Those who possess it cannot be harmed at will. Whoever harms them will surely be struck down by divine lightning sent by the Great Dao! Unless one's cultivation reaches the Great Dao Realm, one may harm them!"
"Hiss! Does that not mean possessing a protective talisman? With the Great Dao itself protecting you!"
"Precisely! Precisely!"
"Then may I ask, Vice Venerable Teacher, how is Great Dao Merit obtained?"
That question completely stunned Qing Wei!
Help! I showed off too hard! Someone save This Venerable!
As a Chaos Merit Godfiend, you did not even know how Great Dao Merit was obtained? How pathetic! You had truly made a mess of things.
"Ahem! Well, cultivate properly! That realm is not something you can come into contact with. First break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!"
"As for the Great Dao... forget it, forget it! Remember not to discuss it casually, lest great terror descend!"
Seeing that he could no longer keep pretending, Qing Wei rolled his eyes and could only explain it that way.
The disciples were relieved!
"We understand! Thank you for your guidance, Vice Venerable Teacher!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Vice Venerable Teacher!"
"Mm!"
Afterward, Qing Wei found an excuse and returned to Azure Dust Hall.
"Luckily! Luckily! I managed to smooth that over. That was so awkward! No, I need to learn more from my brother about this sort of knowledge in the future."
Qing Wei thought.
Azure Dust Palace.
The strange phenomena outside gradually faded away!
A huge golden wheel appeared behind Chi Yu, radiating divine light and dazzling colors!
One circle.
Two circles.
This was the Three-Ring Merit Golden Wheel, and it was even brighter and larger than the Heavenly Dao Merit Golden Wheel!
Whoosh!
The condensation succeeded, and Chi Yu withdrew his power and rose to his feet!
He felt completely different, yet he could not pinpoint exactly what had changed—until the system sounded!
Ding! Detected that the host is currently battling an enemy! Enemy: Great Dao Merit No matter how strong he is, you are stronger! Congratulations, host, for obtaining 50% of the Merit Law! Karma Law: 10% acquired (currently 40%)
Chi Yu froze.
"Doesn't this mean I've risen? This Seat has finally obtained the Merit Law I've dreamed of day and night! And it's 50% at that! I can feel my fortune and luck soaring!"
Chi Yu was not mistaken. Not only had his own luck skyrocketed, but the luck of the War-ending Sect had risen as well, faintly showing signs of taking form.
He sensed his own strength.
His cultivation had not increased, but his comprehension and control of Laws seemed to have become clearer and more thorough.
Then he took out the Chaos Pearl and began refining it.
"Let's see whether I can refine it."
Several more years passed!
Boom!
The 41st restriction was successfully refined!
The 42nd restriction was successfully refined!
The 43rd restriction was successfully refined!
But when he reached the 44th, he could not refine it any further.
Chi Yu opened his eyes.
"Mm! Not bad! I refined three restrictions."
That was already quite good. Originally, he would have needed to raise his cultivation before he could continue refining it.
Chi Yu nodded in satisfaction, then rose and left the Azure Dust Palace.
As soon as he opened the palace gates, Red Sparrow and Wood Thunder Child came up to greet him!
"Master! You've come out of seclusion!"
"Mm!"
Red Sparrow stared fixedly at Chi Yu with hearts in her eyes. Drool was practically spilling from her mouth, and she kept rubbing her tightly pressed legs together.
"Master! You're so handsome!"
Sensing that something was off, Chi Yu shook his head and flicked her forehead.
"Master, Sparrow feels like you're completely different now! You're even more mysterious and handsome!"
"Mm! This is called an otherworldly aura—returning to simplicity!"
"Wow! I worship you, Master!"
Pfft!
Creation Hall.
At this moment, Green Phoenix seemed to have gained some insight. Laws overflowed around her body, as if they were about to erupt at any moment.
"Sister! Hurry, hurry, hurry! I can't take it anymore! I'm about to explode! It's so hot!"
Hearing this, Yuan Feng hurriedly came before Green Phoenix and pointed a finger at her!
But it was useless!
Green Phoenix's face gradually reddened. Then her eyes glowed red, and after that, she began taking off her clothes before breathing out softly like an orchid.
Yuan Feng was so anxious that she did not know what to do!
She hurriedly knocked Green Phoenix unconscious, then flew out of the hall, intending to find Chi Yu to resolve the matter.
But—
By sheer coincidence, Chi Yu flashed into Creation Hall.
And then—
He saw—
Ahem, ahem!
That Green Phoenix, honestly—how could she be like this—
And Yuan Feng, next time you knock someone unconscious, could you please check them over afterward?
What was all this even supposed to be?
Second brother really had it rough!
