Although Nuwa was not weak either, she suffered greatly from being outmatched in magical treasures.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi said arrogantly, "Nuwa, I advise you to get lost early. That way, I can still spare your life."
"Has your brother Fuxi been frightened so badly by us that he doesn't dare come out?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words reminded everyone present: where exactly had the true fierce figure of the primordial world, Fuxi, gone?
Could Fuxi really have been so frightened by them that he did not dare leave the valley?
Or was Fuxi simply not in this valley at all?
Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Given Fuxi's temperament, if he were in the valley, he would likely have come out to face us long ago."
"True enough."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded and said, "Nuwa, I'll say it one more time. Move aside, and I'll spare you!"
Yet Nuwa remained firmly standing above the valley, refusing to retreat even a single step.
Nuwa was not coveting the Chaos Gourd Vine. More importantly, Fuxi was in seclusion.
Whenever she cultivated in the past, Fuxi would personally stand guard for her, preventing anyone from attacking and disturbing her cultivation.
Now that Fuxi was cultivating and could not awaken, she naturally had to protect her brother as well. She would not let these Grand Unity Golden Immortals rush into the valley and disturb Fuxi.
"Even if I am beaten to death, I will not let you enter the valley!"
Nuwa gripped the string of beads tightly, ready to fight to the death and hold her ground.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "Hmph! Since you insist on seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"
"Eastern Emperor, you must not! Junior Sister Nuwa is our teacher's disciple!"
Taishang Laojun spoke up.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi laughed. "Of course I know. I only intend to drive her out of the valley."
As he spoke, Eastern Emperor Taiyi summoned the Chaos Bell. The sky around them rapidly darkened, leaving only the Chaos Bell radiating light.
"Nuwa! Taste the might of Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi raised the Chaos Bell high and brought it down over Nuwa's head.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you dare bully my sister? You are courting death!"
A beam of divine light shot rapidly out from the valley below, streaking toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
A fist as pristine as white jade, wrapped in Great Dao laws, slammed toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi shouted, "You actually dare use your flesh to strike my Chaos Bell? Courting death!"
Dong!
The Chaos Bell in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hand rang with an earth-shaking boom from that punch. Eastern Emperor Taiyi was sent flying more than ten miles away, blood pouring wildly from his mouth.
"How is that possible?!"
Di Jun, Zhu Rong, and Gong Gong all cried out in shock.
They understood the Chaos Bell's power better than anyone. Naturally, they could not believe someone could send Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell flying with a single punch.
That Chaos Bell was an Innate Supreme Treasure!
When that divine light revealed its form, Yuanshi Tianzun cried, "Fuxi, it really is you!"
Fuxi did not respond to Yuanshi Tianzun. Instead, he stared fixedly at Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you took advantage of my absence to bully my sister?"
A terrifying aura seeped from Fuxi's body.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi flew back from afar, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Fuxi with eyes filled with fear and apprehension.
He asked, "Why was your physical body able to withstand my Chaos Bell with one punch?"
Fuxi looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi contemptuously. "Hmph! You think you're strong? Knocking away your Eastern Emperor Bell was nothing."
Of course, Fuxi had not sent the Eastern Emperor Bell flying through physical strength alone. He had used the Quasi-Saint-level Divine Ability he had just learned from the system: the Heavenly Emperor Fist!
The Heavenly Emperor Fist's greatest strength was that it could stack physical strength and cultivation together, amplifying them and unleashing power beyond the cultivator's own limits.
Thus, Fuxi's punch just now had been the combination of physical strength and cultivation.
However, it was Fuxi's first time using the Heavenly Emperor Fist, so he was still somewhat unfamiliar with it and had not fully unleashed its power.
Even so, sending Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Eastern Emperor Bell flying had not been a problem.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was somewhat panicked, because his greatest trump card was undoubtedly the Chaos Bell.
He had thought that with the Chaos Bell, no Grand Unity Golden Immortal would be worth fearing.
But now, it seemed that Fuxi's strength was terrifying beyond measure.
Fuxi looked at Nuwa and asked with concern, "Sister, how are you feeling?"
"Brother, I'm fine."
Although Nuwa was injured, it was extremely minor, because the string of emerald-green beads had blocked most of the Chaos Bell's power.
"That's good."
Fuxi stood above the valley, looking at the Grand Unity Golden Immortals who had come to seize the Chaos Gourd Vine. Fury burned fiercely in his eyes.
Treasure-snatching was commonplace in the primordial world. Naturally, he could understand that.
But while he had been cultivating, he had heard every word Yuanshi Tianzun, Gong Gong, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi said.
They had actually threatened Nuwa over the Chaos Gourd Vine. Eastern Emperor Taiyi had even attacked her. That had touched Fuxi's reverse scale.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi! I had no intention of becoming entangled with the demon race, but now you want to make me their enemy!"
"Since you dared bully my sister, I'll make you regret it today!"
Chaos aura swirled around Fuxi's fist as he directly threw a punch at Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Fuxi's fist gradually expanded in the sky, becoming as enormous as a mountain.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not voice his suffering. He immediately burrowed into the Chaos Bell and became a turtle hiding in its shell.
Fuxi's Heavenly Emperor Fist struck the Chaos Bell again and again, countless rays of immortal light scattering in every direction.
"You dared bully my sister, so why are you acting like a turtle hiding in its shell now?"
Fuxi hammered the Chaos Bell furiously, shaking Eastern Emperor Taiyi inside until he repeatedly coughed up blood.
Seeing his younger brother being beaten so badly, Di Jun hurriedly summoned the River Diagram and Luo Shu to support Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Di Jun shouted, "Fuxi, if this continues, Taiyi will truly die. For the sake of our shared demon race, please spare him!"
Seeing Eastern Emperor Taiyi coughing blood miserably inside the Chaos Bell, Fuxi knew he could not truly strike to kill, so he stopped.
If he killed Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Fuxi would be dragged into the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation.
Fuxi looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun. "Eastern Emperor Taiyi, for the sake of our shared demon race, I will spare you this once."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi had grievances he could not voice. He had lost all face and could only lower his head in humiliation without saying a word.
Di Jun cupped his hands toward Fuxi and swiftly left Buzhou Mountain with Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Two or three mournful cries of Golden Crows echoed across Buzhou Mountain. Eastern Emperor Taiyi was venting his frustrated rage.
Fuxi looked at the remaining Three Pure Ones, the two ancestral witches, Hong Yun, and Zhenyuanzi, then said coldly, "Why haven't you all left? Do you wish to fight me as well?"
"Hmph! Fuxi, this spiritual root is an Opportunity bestowed upon all living beings by heaven and earth. It is not something you alone can monopolize."
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke.
Pangu Dharma Idol Against Chaos God-Demon Dharma Idol
Although Yuanshi Tianzun had personally witnessed Fuxi suppressing Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he still believed Fuxi was not strong. Eastern Emperor Taiyi was simply too weak.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was only a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He possessed a supreme treasure but could not unleash its full power.
Yuanshi Tianzun was different. His origin was Pangu's Primordial Spirit, his cultivation was at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and his strength was absolutely greater than Fuxi's. Thus, his attitude toward Fuxi was a mixture of hatred and contempt.
Hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Fuxi looked at him and said domineeringly, "I got here first. This place is my territory, and this Gourd Vine is my treasure. If you want to take it, defeat me first. I don't have time to trade empty words with you."
Fuxi kept calling himself "laozi," making Taishang Laojun's mouth twitch.
Obviously, I am Laozi. Why are you calling yourself Laozi?
Yuanshi Tianzun clamored, "Several hundred years have passed, Fuxi. This time, I will wash away my previous humiliation and let you see the strength of a Saint's disciple!"
"Yuanshi, since you insist on humiliating yourself, I'll give you the chance."
Fuxi sneered.
Yuanshi Tianzun raged, "Hmph! Humiliating myself? This time, I'll make you lower your head whenever you see me!"
After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun stepped out from among the Three Pure Ones and walked into the sky above the valley.
Ever since his strength had reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Yuanshi Tianzun had long wanted revenge against Fuxi. He had also prepared many methods to deal with him.
Seeing Fuxi acting so arrogantly, he decided to suppress Fuxi directly with a thunderous strike.
"Behold my Chaos God-Demon Dharma Idol!"
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately condensed a Dharma Idol of a Chaos God-Demon from before the creation of heaven and earth. It had horns on its head, only one eye, red scales covering its body, and three legs. Its appearance was exceedingly strange.
The moment the Chaos God-Demon Dharma Idol formed, it immediately roared and snarled at Fuxi.
Everyone else was drawn to the Chaos God-Demon Dharma Idol. Even the surrounding space-time seemed somewhat distorted, its power boundless.
But Fuxi was unafraid.
On the contrary, seeing this Chaos God-Demon's appearance made Fuxi somewhat excited.
He had just observed the scene of Pangu battling the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons. He had seen this Chaos God-Demon before; Great God Pangu had torn it in half with his bare hands.
Now, seeing Yuanshi Tianzun summon this Chaos God-Demon, Fuxi—whose physical body had just been strengthened by Pangu's Essence Blood—felt his blood boil and his fighting spirit surge.
"A dignified incarnation of Pangu's Primordial Spirit actually condensed a Chaos God-Demon Dharma Idol. How ironic. Then let grandpa show you my Pangu Dharma Idol!"
With his blood boiling, Fuxi erupted with cultivation and condensed a Pangu Dharma Idol atop Buzhou Mountain, holding a massive axe.
Roar!
