One Sword Not Enough, Then Another

"Human, I want you dead."

A wild roar, filled with rage, and a terrifying, devouring power enveloped everything.

Fu Hua's eyes narrowed, suppressing the anger in her heart, and she wiped away a smear of bright red from the corner of her mouth.

"You have arbitrarily interfered with the trajectory of this universe; if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else."

"Ha! Weakness is the original sin. Their weakness makes them prey for the strong. If not me, then someone else will. So why not let me end it?"

Use their own methods against them

An Lin refuted Fu Hua's theory by quoting her: whether in the biological world or in the universe, the law of the jungle prevails.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.

Even if it weren't for the An Lin, others would come and claim this universe for their own use, or even turn it into a complete battlefield.

On the other hand, An Lin is actually protecting this universe, but his motives are impure. Moreover, how many people in this world would selflessly dedicate themselves to protecting a world that has nothing to do with them?

Even Fu Hua wouldn't

Divine Land is the name of Cang Xuan. If it weren't for Cang Xuan's words back then, she would have become a heartless warrior fighting against the Honkai.

It was Cang Xuan and Danzhu who won her heart, so much so that later, when she met Cheng Lixue and Kiana...

Personally speaking, Fu Hua was only fighting for them.

The current battle with the An Lin is only because of her, which has involved the Merlo Heavenly Court, so she has to fight. If it were under normal circumstances, would Fu Hua take action?

Yes, I will still take action.

It's just a difference in mindset.

It's all because she encountered it. If she encountered it, she would act; if she didn't, it was none of her business. Isn't that common sense?

"Since you came for me, why slaughter them?" Fu Hua asked in a deep voice.

"I said, weakness is the original sin. They couldn't survive, so who can they blame?"

"... I understand now. What is the purpose of your God Tomb's unauthorized interference with other worlds?"

"Plunder, then war"

Fu Hua: "Since you are already so powerful, why do you still want to wage war?"

An Lin: "A peaceful world is boring, why not end it all with a war?"

Fu Hua finally understood: this An Lin was different from the Enchanted Forest.

Within any group, there will inevitably be divisions between those who advocate war and those who advocate peace. The Enchantress is peaceful, while the An Lin is war-oriented.

Such people cannot survive in peacetime. Even if they live, they are only there to start another war. Their only destiny is to die on the battlefield.

Since peace cannot resolve the issue, then war is the only option.

Fu Hua clenched her fists, and flames rose again.

An Lin scoffed, "Your flames are useless against me. My true form has long transcended the Five Elements and is not bound by the cycle of reincarnation. Even heavenly fire cannot completely annihilate me."

"I see"

"If that's the case, why do you, a mere human, dare to rebel against me? You deserve to become my food."

If I die, you will leave.

"A fool's dream"

"Then why not end the battle here!"

An Lin narrowed his enormous, dark golden eyes, and scorching waves spewed from his nostrils.

"What does this world have to do with you, that you'd fight me to the death?"

"It's unrelated; it's all because of a promise."

An Lin "..."

"Hahahaha! A promise? How laughable! To think you can fight me to the death just because of a promise? You're truly overestimating yourself."

Fu Hua: "How do you know I'm no match for you?"

"Even if I possess only one percent of my true strength, like an ant trying to shake a tree, I am still no match for a mere human. My power can devour the heavens and gnaw at the sun."

"In the end, he's nothing more than a wild beast."

"Humans, you're asking for death."

Roar!

A beastly roar resounded, like the cry of an infant, echoing throughout the universe. The sound was piercing, and not only Fu Hua but everyone else could hear it.

Roars echoed, rippling through the air and amplifying the already terrifying devouring power.

We vow to devour it until the world is in chaos.

A tremendous suction force emanated from the black mist, Fu Hua to lose her balance and subtly pull herself towards its center.

In the universe, without any support or grasp, Fu Hua's body could only drift with the current.

"You mere human beings dare to challenge me?"

Roar! The piercing cry of the baby rang out again.

Suction wrinkle rise

Fu Hua's body was forced to rapidly approach the center.

"Immortal!" Cang Xiaoxuan exclaimed urgently.

They hastily initiated a spatial teleportation, only to see...

Fu Hua's figure flashed and reappeared, remaining in the same spot, her trend towards the center showing no change whatsoever.

"Haha! Human, you still think you can just move away like before? What a pipe dream! How could my devouring power escape so easily?"

Closer, closer still

It wasn't until Fu Hua was completely engulfed by the black mist that she finally saw the true form of this behemoth.

An ancient text says, "Mount Gouwu is rich in jade on its top and copper at its bottom. There is a beast there; it looks like a sheep with a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like that of an infant. It is called Paoxiao and it eats people."

—It was actually Taotie, the real Ferocious Beast Taotie!

This explains why it previously devoured warriors called Taotie, and why it now possesses such terrifying devouring power.

It can devour the heavens and the earth; this is no exaggeration.

The fake Taotie encountered the real Taotie; how could the name of this Ferocious Beast be insulted?

"Humans, become my food!"

It has a huge mouth with sharp teeth, but it doesn't need to chew; it can be digested simply by swallowing it whole.

But... a beast is still just a beast. Even if it achieves great cultivation, it still cannot escape the logic of a beast.

Fu Hua was never a talkative person, nor was she the type to chat before a battle. The fact that she could talk so much with this Taotie must have been for a purpose.

First, to recover from the injury.

Secondly, I wanted to learn about some information regarding the God Tomb.

Fortunately, she got both of these things, so she could rest assured about Jingwei's safety. With Mei around, Jingwei would be fine.

Although she didn't know Mei's status and strength in the God Tomb, Fu Hua could sense that this Mei was definitely not simple; at least, this Taotie was no match for Mei.

Even with such a gluttonous beast, Fu Hua still needed to go all out, which shows how powerful the God Tomb was.

—She still has a long way to go.

Die, humans!

Jingwei no longer needed to worry, and a weight was lifted from her heart. Her body felt lighter, and she no longer resisted the devouring force, going with the flow.

"Xiao Xuan, stop!"

Cang Xiaoxuan was so anxious that she burst into tears, saying in a sob, "But... but..."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

When she was within arm's reach of the giant maw, it was also the moment when it was least prepared. With victory in sight, it was inevitable that it would become complacent. Moreover, this Taotie had underestimated Fu Hua from the very beginning.

Without witnessing her true full power, he rashly revealed his true form and unleashed his innate talent.

Is Inch Power • Stacked Waves Fu Hua's full power?

Yes and no

She did indeed use her full strength to unleash the Stacked Waves, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to injure herself after withdrawing her power.

But it's not entirely about going all out.

"Right now"

His eyes snapped open, a crimson light flashed, and a phantom sword appeared in his hand, Entanglement in endless heavenly fire.

A sword without a sharp edge is not sharp at all.

Completely light and weightless, as if the sword had never existed.

A sword comes from beyond the heavens, a sword arises from the void.

With a single sword strike, the sky was cleaved open, revealing a sea of clouds within. Wispy clouds rose, celestial music filled the air, and immortals roamed freely, spirits flitting about.

A scene of bustling prosperity, captivating to behold.

Unfortunately, Fu Hua didn't have time to see any of this; after her sword fell, the entire fairyland vanished into thin air.

Full • Taixu Sword God

Unleash your full power, and everything will fall into the hands of this sword.

Sword that slays spirits, God-Slaying Sword

It caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and all things to return to stillness.

One sword can slay immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons.

The Taotie was shocked and tried to retract its innate divine power, but it was too late; there was no time to do so.

He then swallowed the sword.

A look of pain immediately appeared on the beast's face, its aura weakened, and its spirit swayed precariously.

The Taotie is known as Ferocious Beast that can devour the heavens and the earth, capable of swallowing mountains, rivers, the Sun Moon, and the stars. That is the Taotie after it has fully grown up.

Less than one percent of its original size, its power is also far less than one percent of its original size.

If one has transcended the Five Elements and is no longer within the Heavenly Dao, then any damage to the spirit constitutes true death.

The Taotie blocked a sword strike, sustaining severe injuries to its body, and its spiritual flames flickered and died.

Fu Hua frowned. "One sword strike isn't enough? Then let's try again."

Fu Hua never felt that her Taixu Sword God was so overpowered that she could defeat those people with a single sword strike, simply because those people were too weak, not because she was too strong.

The world is so vast, and its life forms are so numerous.

There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. If she becomes arrogant and conceited because of temporary gains, then she only has that much ability.

Seeing that Taotie hadn't been Sword Slash, Fu Hua wasn't surprised. She once again conjured the Taixu Sword God in her hand.

The might of the Sword God is overwhelming, and the fairyland reappears.

Dimensional turmoil

I can withstand one sword, but how can I withstand a second?

Fortunately, the sword wasn't aimed at it; otherwise, those two strikes alone would have cleaved this dimension, annihilated all living beings, and turned it into a death zone.

The second sword strike...

Slaying Demons

The Taotie's eyes widened in horror, but the spiritual fire was faint and could be extinguished at any moment. It had no choice but to use all its power to dodge this sword strike.

If it were to suffer another sword strike, it would truly perish.

Being outside the Five Elements also means it cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation.

That was real death.

—No, no, no, how can I die here? No!!!

A burst of Dark Radiance shot out, and the Taotie's enormous body suddenly shrank, gathering all its power as it fled.

The second sword slashed across the sky, slicing off half of the Taotie's body, and vanished.

"Again"

The third sword strike begins.

The Taotie was terrified and dared not turn around, only sensing the energy fluctuations behind it.

—She's actually mobilizing the power of heaven and earth! Doesn't that Spirit of Dimensions know? If this Sword Slash, the entire dimension will be finished.

They fled like madmen; as arrogant as they came, they were now utterly pathetic.

With just two sword strikes, it slashed away half of its cultivation and ninety percent of its spirit. The spiritual fire flickered weakly, and once it was extinguished, there would be no more Taotie in this world.

"How dare she? How dare she?"

Although Taotie is not as high as the top nine sons of the dragon, it still holds the position of a son of the dragon and possesses the dragon vein (bloodline). If it is completely exterminated here, wouldn't we be afraid of the arrival of a true dragon?

Not only this realm, but even the surrounding dimensions will be completely wiped out.

Dragon Clan have always been protective of their own; the Dragon's Wrath brings calamity to all realms.

P. S.: I've always been weak in battle scenes, but I tried my best.
