In her heart, neither the position of disciple nor the Saint's fruition was all that important.
Yuanshi Tianzun had not expected Nuwa to speak for Fuxi. He stared at her and said, "You and I are fellow disciples. Why are you speaking for this madman?"
"What does it have to do with you? Who do you think you are?"
Fuxi directly berated Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Got nothing better to do than seek attention? Sticking a scallion up your nose and pretending to be an elephant?"
Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned red and green with fury at Fuxi's words. He roared,
"Fuxi, you are utterly arrogant!"
"We are both late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Do you think you're so strong?"
Fuxi said disdainfully, "Whether I'm strong or not, you'll only know after trying. If all you can do is talk, I suggest you step aside."
"Hmph!"
Yuanshi Tianzun had a fiery temper as well. He rushed out from beside Taishang Laojun and Tongtian, saying, "Since you do not know your place and dare humiliate us Saint disciples, I will grant you your wish today!"
The Three Pure Ones Fled
Yuanshi Tianzun acted swiftly and decisively. He immediately unleashed his cultivation, and a black mountain appeared in his hand before he hurled it at Fuxi.
The mountain grew larger and larger in the void, eventually turning into a colossal mountain spanning ten thousand miles as it descended to suppress Fuxi.
The pitch-black mountain was wrapped in Chaos Qi, and its power looked utterly terrifying.
Before it, Fuxi's figure was as tiny as a speck of dust, looking as though he would be crushed to pieces.
"Brother, be careful!"
Nuwa warned Fuxi.
"No matter!"
Fuxi directly condensed an enormous palm in the void, formed from boundless divine light.
The palm was even larger than the mountain Yuanshi Tianzun had unleashed. It seized the mountain in its grasp and crushed it into fragments with a fierce squeeze.
The sound of the mountain shattering was terrifying, leaving all the Grand Unity Golden Immortals present dumbfounded.
When Yuanshi Tianzun had unleashed the mountain, they had seen its immense form blotting out the sky and sun. They had all thought the treasure was unstoppable and that Fuxi was in serious trouble.
But now, Fuxi had actually crushed the mountain Yuanshi Tianzun had unleashed using nothing but a Divine Ability.
"Fuxi's strength is actually this terrifying!"
"That mountain nearly suffocated me just now. I thought Fuxi would be severely injured by Yuanshi Tianzun."
"Fuxi may be hot-tempered and arrogant, but he has the strength and confidence to back it up."
"Fuxi cannot be provoked. He can only be befriended."
Watching the mountain he had unleashed get crushed by Fuxi's giant hand, Yuanshi Tianzun was both shocked and enraged.
This black mountain had been a peculiar metal ore mountain he had discovered in the boundless Honghuang, which he had refined into a unique spiritual treasure.
Now that his powerful spiritual treasure had been destroyed, Yuanshi Tianzun was startled by Fuxi's strength, but he also felt heartbroken.
He had no choice but to admit that Fuxi was significantly stronger than him, at the very least comparable to Taishang Laojun, the foremost of the Three Pure Ones.
In truth, when Taishang Laojun and Sect Master Tongtian saw Fuxi strike, their pupils contracted.
Even Taishang Laojun was not confident he could defeat Fuxi's palm Divine Ability. He might even risk losing.
Fuxi casually dispersed the palm formed from divine light, then looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with disdain. "If you lack the strength, why did you come out here pretending to be something you're not?"
Only now could Fuxi roughly judge how strong he was. At the very least, he was far stronger than Yuanshi Tianzun.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun had suffered a loss in their exchange, his temper remained as violent as ever. He roared, "Fuxi, don't think you're so strong. I was merely careless just now and did not use my full strength!"
For Yuanshi Tianzun, he could lose a fight, but he could not lose verbally, nor could he lose face.
"So you still want another beating?"
Great Dao laws flowed around Fuxi's fingertips, emanating a terrifying aura.
Yuanshi Tianzun could not swallow his anger and wanted to test Fuxi's strength again, but someone stopped him.
Taishang Laojun stepped forward and pressed a hand on Yuanshi Tianzun's shoulder.
Yuanshi Tianzun asked in confusion, "Eldest Brother, why are you stopping me?"
Taishang Laojun said solemnly, "Our teacher imparted to us the profound principles of the Great Dao so that our cultivation might advance, not so that we could fight and kill one another."
"But..."
Yuanshi Tianzun was naturally unwilling to accept this and still wanted to argue.
"Do not argue. Return with me and cultivate wholeheartedly. Do not disappoint our teacher's expectations."
Taishang Laojun directly pulled Yuanshi Tianzun away, taking Sect Master Tongtian with him as they departed from the Chaos Void.
Taishang Laojun's voice remained in the void.
"Fuxi, meaningless disputes only waste time. We shall meet again at Zixiao Palace in a thousand years."
The Grand Unity Golden Immortals watching the spectacle were somewhat surprised. They had thought that since Yuanshi Tianzun had been defeated, the Three Pure Ones would join forces. They had not expected them to flee first.
It seemed that even the Three Pure Ones were not confident they could defeat Fuxi.
From then on, Fuxi's name shook the Honghuang.
Hearing Taishang Laojun's words, Fuxi smiled faintly.
"I'm afraid it won't take that long before we meet again."
However, while the Three Pure Ones had left, some rejoiced while others worried.
Seeing Fuxi defeat Yuanshi Tianzun and intimidate the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa was overjoyed.
Who would not want her brother to become a renowned figure throughout the Honghuang?
The stronger Fuxi became, the more benefits she would gain as well.
But Jieyin and Zhunti were miserable.
They had thought Hongjun would step in to help them, yet after they had been beaten so badly, Hongjun had not even appeared.
When Yuanshi Tianzun had stepped out to support them, the two had been thrilled, hoping the Three Pure Ones would teach Fuxi a lesson.
Who could have expected Fuxi to be so formidable? Even Taishang Laojun had been unwilling to fight him and had directly chosen to retreat together.
How were the two of them, merely mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals, supposed to deal with such a Great Power of Honghuang as Fuxi?
"Run!"
Jieyin and Zhunti no longer cared about their dignity. They turned and fled at once, terrified that Fuxi would catch them and beat them again.
But no matter how fast they were, how could they compare to late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fuxi?
Fuxi transformed into a streak of light and pursued them, blocking their path.
"Stop!"
With a casual wave, Fuxi released a boundless curtain of light that blocked the two of them and prevented their escape.
Unable to flee, Jieyin and Zhunti said anxiously and fearfully, "Fuxi, do you intend to wipe us out completely? We are Saint disciples!"
Fuxi smiled lightly. "I told you before: if you dared provoke me again, you had better be prepared to lose a piece of flesh."
"What exactly do you want?"
Jieyin and Zhunti understood. Fuxi wanted to take advantage of their plight and extort them.
At that moment, Nuwa caught up from behind and arrived at Fuxi's side.
Remembering that he and Nuwa were fellow disciples after all, Jieyin said to her, "Senior Sister Nuwa, you and we are both Saint disciples. Please put in a good word for us."
Nuwa shook her head. "When you offended my brother, you did not consider that we were fellow disciples."
"This..."
Jieyin and Zhunti's faces went pale.
"Enough nonsense! Hand over two Innate Spiritual Treasures, and I'll let you go. If you can't, I'll take you back to Buzhou Mountain for a little trip."
Fuxi directly threatened them.
"Two Innate Spiritual Treasures? Do you think Innate Spiritual Treasures grow like cabbages?"
Although Jieyin and Zhunti had long expected Fuxi to extort them, they had not expected him to demand something so precious.
But neither of them wanted to go on a trip to Buzhou Mountain with Fuxi. Though they did not know what a trip meant, they knew it could not be pleasant.
Fuxi laughed arrogantly and looked at them. "You can choose not to give them. I can take them from you myself. By then, it will not be just two."
"You..."
Jieyin and Zhunti were so furious that they were speechless.
But Fuxi truly had the strength to rob them of their treasures. They feared he would not even leave them a rag to wear.
Chaos Gourd Vine
The faces of Jieyin and Zhunti, blocked by Fuxi, twisted like bitter melons. They truly could not bear to part with their Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Every Innate Spiritual Treasure was a rare treasure formed from the creation of heaven and earth, something they had fought desperately to obtain.
But Fuxi's tone was aggressive, and they both feared that he would truly strip them of every treasure they possessed.
Fuxi said in a deep voice, "I do not have the patience to wait for you to decide. I'll count to three. If you still refuse after three breaths, I won't even leave you a single piece of clothing."
At those words, Jieyin and Zhunti were thoroughly terrified. They hurriedly cried, "Wait, we'll give them to you!"
Jieyin took out a string of emerald-green beads from his robes, while Zhunti produced a small golden pestle.
After handing their treasures to Fuxi, both of them felt as though their hearts were bleeding.
The lands of the west were barren and could not produce many Innate Spiritual Treasures to begin with. Now Fuxi had taken two from them, and the pain was unbearable.
After obtaining the treasures, Fuxi withdrew the curtain of light blocking them.
