Nuwa's True Form

This treasure was none other than the Shanhe Sheji Map, ranked thirty-fifth on the Treasure Ranking.

Ever since this treasure had appeared, it had been coasting along, with Goddess Nuwa never truly putting it to use.

But now, facing Sage Zhunti's Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, Goddess Nuwa had finally decided to deploy this artifact.

This treasure was a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, a supreme artifact of mountains, rivers, and realms.

Within it lay an entire world, wielding the power of the Seven Deadly Sins of Heaven and Earth. Any being with desire who entered this treasure would be suppressed by its might—even a sage could not escape!

Goddess Nuwa intended to use this treasure to suppress every living being within the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.

No matter how strong your Buddha Kingdom in the Palm might be, what then?

If all its living beings were suppressed, wouldn't your Buddha Kingdom in the Palm become an empty world?

Goddess Nuwa held the Shanhe Sheji Map and gently unfurled it.

What appeared within the scroll was an immensely majestic panorama of mountains, rivers, and realms.

That boundless landscape now radiated an aura that suppressed heaven and earth, shaking the entire universe.

Upon sensing this aura, many of the great figures present wore grim expressions.

This Shanhe Sheji Map truly possessed supreme divine might.

That fluctuating, unpredictable aura was indeed infinitely powerful.

"Go..."

A faint voice was uttered.

The Shanhe Sheji Map then floated in the air, emitting a soft glow.

As the radiance burst forth, the Shanhe Sheji Map suddenly swelled with the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it had already reached tens of millions of zhang in size.

The sky-shrouding, sun-obscuring Shanhe Sheji Map stood horizontally in the air.

At that moment, it officially released a hazy, gray light.

The moment this light touched the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, the two forces instantly fell into a stalemate.

The power of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm was one of destruction—

it sought to destroy the Shanhe Sheji Map.

Meanwhile, the power of the Shanhe Sheji Map was one of pulling and dragging—

it aimed to completely suppress the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm within the map.

Zhunti Daoist's gaze was fierce.

He stared intently at the sky above.

"Boom!"

The two boundless forces clashed in the air, a sight that truly made one's heart tremble with fear.

Within the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, ten thousand buddhas paid homage.

Countless Buddhist chants rang out, seeming to lure one into a trance.

Within the Shanhe Sheji Map, there was an endless power of mountains, rivers, and realms.

The two boundless divine abilities clashed and fought in the sky, each vying for supremacy.

Mountains shook, and the earth trembled.

Had it not been for Jie Yin Daoist protecting the living beings of the West, countless beings in the West would have perished under these two forces.

Other living creatures also watched the two combatants in sheer terror.

This was the true power of a sage.

This was the true foundation of a sage.

Compared to a battle between sages, all other fights were like a minor sorcerer next to a great one.

Finally, after a very long time, the internal world of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm began to gradually collapse.

The sight was truly terrifying.

Heaven crumbled, earth sank, and the world fell apart.

Countless living beings were pulled out by the Shanhe Sheji Map and thoroughly suppressed within it.

In Zhunti Daoist's horrifying expression, the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm finally collapsed entirely.

Countless chaotic energy currents were all suppressed by the Shanhe Sheji Map.

With the collapse of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, Zhunti Daoist's body shook violently.

In the end, he could no longer hold on and completely fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Goddess Nuwa was also forced back repeatedly by the immense recoil force.

But in the end, she managed to hold her ground.

Without making a fool of herself.

For a moment, the entire world fell into an eerie silence once again.

The Primordial Beings looked at each other in bewilderment.

After fighting to this extent, the two were still evenly matched.

However, judging by the scene, Goddess Nuwa had the upper hand.

Not only had she struck Zhunti multiple times, but although she too had been forced back repeatedly, she ultimately steadied herself.

Zhunti Daoist, on the other hand, had gained little advantage throughout the battle.

Especially at the very end, he had even stumbled and fallen.

From the look of things, Zhunti had indeed suffered some losses.

Zhunti Daoist stared darkly at Nuwa, his eyes nearly wild with rage.

Goddess Nuwa looked at Zhunti, whose face revealed a hint of madness.

A sly, wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips.

This damned Zhunti—he had tried to bully a soft target and picked her.

Today, she would make sure he got a proper taste of the Eastern Mystic School's strength.

Goddess Nuwa smiled coldly as she withdrew her Sage Golden Body.

Revealing her delicate and lovely form.

But even so, an even more surging and overwhelming aura burst forth.

This aura was far more powerful than before.

In the void behind Goddess Nuwa, an immensely colossal phantom suddenly appeared.

Having been pushed to her limit, Goddess Nuwa finally abandoned Law, Heaven, and Earth and began using her true body's power.

Only, her true body's power was truly too vast.

As the phantom behind her emerged, it seemed as if the entire Primordial World had fallen into darkness.

The scene of it shrouding the heavens was utterly breathtaking.

Everyone watched, their mouths dry.

Compared to Goddess Nuwa's heaven-shrouding true body, their earlier Law, Heaven, and Earth forms were like a minor sorcery next to a great one.

In that moment, all living beings of the Primordial World were awed by Goddess Nuwa.

Goddess Nuwa had truly been pushed to her limit.

She did not hesitate to reveal her true form, determined to completely suppress and defeat Sage Zhunti.

Indeed, one should never lightly provoke a woman.

When a petty woman loses her temper, heaven and earth will surely crack apart.

At this moment, seeing Goddess Nuwa in such a state, Zhunti Daoist's face darkened to the extreme.

He had never expected Nuwa to be so resolute in her actions.

He withdrew his Bodhi Golden Body, turned around, and landed on Mount Sumeru.

Soon, he arrived beside the Guiding Sage of the West.

"Elder Brother, this battle has reached such a point that it is now extremely perilous. If I, your junior brother, am not careful, I may never return. If that truly happens, the Western Lands will have to rely on you to hold them together."

With that, Zhunti Daoist, his expression extremely grave, bowed to the Guiding Sage of the West.

The Guiding Sage of the West, however, wore a sorrowful expression.

"Junior Brother, that woman Nuwa has already gone mad. Why not just yield and say a few soft words?"

"Besides, you were in the wrong first. Yield, speak some pleasantries, and consider this karma settled..."

Fighting to this extent was already far beyond imagination.

This was no longer the power needed to determine superiority.

It was a battle for life and death.

He did not wish to send his junior brother into danger again.

After all, the Western lands had only two saints in total.

If anything happened to his junior brother, it would be an immense loss for the West.

If he were truly unfortunate enough to fall in battle, the Western Sect would lose half its foundation.

Thus, fighting this madwoman to such an extent was clearly a loss outweighing any gain.

Zhunti Daoist stood with his hands behind his back.

He turned around, gazing at the distant, sky-shrouding phantom.

Muttering to himself:

"Elder Brother, I fear this matter cannot be resolved with mere submission. This madwoman has fought to this point—she will not easily let things go."

"Moreover, fighting to this extent now involves the face of all Western beings. It also concerns that undying, everlasting breath of the Western creatures."

"If I submit today, the Western beings will forever be looked down upon, and the West will never rise again."

"In the end, perhaps I truly am no match for that madwoman, but today, under no circumstances can I bow my head."

With that, he rode his clouds and departed.

Leaving behind only Jie Yin Daoist, whose face bore a look of sorrow.

At this moment, his expression was bitter, his eyes flickering.

That heart of his, once as still as an ancient well, now churned with stormy waves.

Several times he wanted to move, but each time he gave up in defeat.

This was the karmic entanglement between his junior brother and Nuwa.

He could not casually interfere.

If he truly intervened, wouldn't that become two against one?

If so, his junior brother's resolve would become meaningless.

Since his junior brother wanted to go mad, then let him go mad completely this once.

After all, his junior brother's means were heaven-shrouding.

In this contest with the madwoman Nuwa, it was still uncertain who would emerge victorious.

Zhunti Daoist rode his clouds to midair.

After taking a deep breath, his aura suddenly erupted with equal ferocity.

Another colossal phantom burst forth in the sky.

When the Primordial Beings saw the two behemoths behind them, they were struck with terror.

Those two colossal figures...
