"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could a primordial spirit be born from a body formed from the Pangu's Essence Blood and condensed from Turbid Qi?!"
Zhenyuanzi was deeply shaken; this revolutionary understanding almost shattered his last remaining will to defend himself.
In the instant his mind faltered, the Earth Book's operation experienced a barely perceptible slowdown.
"Flaw!"
Houtu's eyes flashed with a sharp light! Her massive Ancestral Witch body now displayed astonishing combat instincts and efficiency—not simply relying on brute force.
With her left hand, she formed a strange and ancient hand seal. As the seal flowed, a profound, heavy power, seemingly capable of drawing all things, erupted. Instead of attacking Zhenyuanzi, it was slammed into the shattered earth beneath her feet!
Supernatural Power: "Bearing Heaven and Earth, Disrupting the Earth's Veins!?"
Rumble!
Within a hundred miles, the already turbulent earth vein energy suddenly became chaotic, violent, and aggressive!
The earth vein power that was originally supplying the Earth Yuan Wutu Divine Gang was now like boiling oil thrown into a boulder, instantly backfiring!
The remaining seven Xuanhuang Earth Dragon coiled around Zhenyuanzi roared in pain, their bodies twisting. Two of them even went out of control and turned against their master, crashing heavily into the Earth Book's light barrier!
"Pfft--!" Attacked from both inside and outside! Zhenyuanzi suffered another heavy blow, and blood gushed out of his seven orifices as if his life depended on it.
The light from the Earth Book flickered violently, and the crack that had been cleaved by the Heaven Measuring Ruler instantly expanded several times over!
I could clearly feel that my control over the earth's vein power in this area had been forcibly disrupted and partially stripped away by Houtu's strange supernatural powers!
"You... you can actually control the earth's veins?! This is definitely not the way of the Ancestral Witch!"
Zhenyuanzi was utterly horrified; the reality before him completely shattered his previous understanding.
Houtu not only possesses the power to wield a magical treasure like the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, but she can also unleash such exquisite divine abilities that trigger the backlash of the earth's veins! The existence of her primordial spirit grants her the possibility of manipulating the laws of heaven and earth!
"Dead men don't need to know too much!"
Houtu's voice was as cold as the chilling winds of the deepest hell.
She seized the perfect opportunity when Zhenyuanzi was off guard and his defenses were in turmoil!
The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in his right hand condensed the Xuanhuang Qi to its extreme, while his left hand spread its five fingers wide, and in the palm of his hand, a deep, incomparably profound "black dot" that seemed capable of swallowing all light suddenly appeared!
That was not darkness, but something purer and heavier than darkness, symbolizing the ultimate destiny of the earth—the primordial divine power of the Ancestral Witch.
The Turbid Guixu!?
Attacks came one after another!
The Heaven Measuring Ruler, with its unparalleled sharpness, is the primary offensive weapon. It locks onto the core crack in the Earth Book's defense, enabling a point-to-point ultimate breakthrough!
Meanwhile, the "Turbid Guixu Nothingness" technique in his left hand exuded a terrifying allure, its target not Zhenyuanzi's physical body, but the void behind him—
It was frantically pulling and devouring the spatial stability around Zhenyuanzi, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, and even the Life Essence he was emitting!
Zhenyuanzi felt an unprecedented threat of death! His body was severely injured, the Earth Book was damaged, the earth veins were backfiring, and on top of that, the strange supernatural powers and combat wisdom brought by the unknown primordial spirit of his opponent... This was almost an unsolvable dead end!
"You old scoundrel from the Minghe, you've ruined me! Houtu... I'll fight you to the death!" In his desperate situation, Zhenyuanzi's eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a roar like a trapped beast.
He went completely mad! Burning! Burning desperately! It wasn't just the remaining essence and blood, but also the primordial power that he, as the Transformation of Essence of Wutu, possessed and shared the same origin as the Primordial Earth!
Even more so, it is the life imprint that embodies his Dao Fruit and is connected to the Ginseng Fruit Tree of Wuzhuang Temple!
"May you live forever, may the earth's veins remain forever! Ginseng Fruit Tree, lend me your strength!"
Zhenyuanzi formed hand seals and struck the Earth Book floating above his head in a manner that was almost self-destructive!
Boom!
An indescribable surge of vitality, mixed with the vast and profound Wutu Earth Origin, suddenly erupted from Zhenyuanzi's body!
Behind them, the phantom of an enormous, towering ancient tree suddenly appeared! Its canopy was as graceful as a canopy, covering the surrounding area, its branches and leaves were lush and green, and three baby-shaped fruits hung from it, exuding a vast life force that intoxicated the mind and soul—the phantom of the Ginseng Fruit Tree!
The moment the phantom appeared, the core of the Longevity Mountain, where Wuzhuang Temple was located, trembled violently, and a surge of pure earth energy and boundless life essence that spanned endless space was forcibly poured in!
Zhenyuanzi's battered body was like parched land receiving sweet rain; his injuries visibly stabilized temporarily, and his momentum surged, almost briefly returning him to his peak condition!
The Earth Yuan Wutu Divine Gang, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly solidified and became more than ten times thicker with the blessing of the Ginseng Fruit Tree phantom!
The nine scattered earth dragons reformed and transformed into eighteen even thicker, more robust, and more powerfully roaring Xuan Huang dragons!
The cracks on the massive light shield rapidly healed, and a rich azure vitality emanated from the earthy yellow light, forcefully resisting the downward pressure of the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler and keeping out the terrifying suction force of "Turbid Guixu"!
"Oh? A desperate struggle? Burning your Dao Foundation, even forcibly extracting the essence of the Ginseng Fruit Tree... Zhenyuanzi, you're ruthless enough!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Houtu's eyes, which then turned into a deeper greed.
"Such a divine tree should be used for my grand future plans!"
The brief resurgence of energy gave Zhenyuanzi a chance to catch his breath.
Knowing full well that this state could not last, and that once the Ginseng Fruit Tree's essence was drained, or his own essence was burned out, it would be the time when he was annihilated, body and soul, and he had to fight back!
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Houtu! Taste the wrath of the earth!"
Zhenyuanzi pushed the Earth Book with both hands. The illusory image of the Ginseng Fruit Tree swayed gently, and boundless vitality and the power of the Earth element were poured into it. The Earth Book shone brightly, and its pages turned rapidly!
Supernatural Power: Earth Book - Mountain Sea Town Prison!?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Around Zhenyuanzi, four towering peaks suddenly rose from the shattered earth!
The mountain peak was entirely Xuan Huang, covered with golden Dao patterns, incredibly heavy, and exuded a terrifying aura that suppressed all things!
The four peaks rotated, forming a giant cage that trapped Houtu within.
At the same time, deep within the earth, countless incredibly sharp "Great Yue Divine Spear" condensed from the essence of Wutu burst forth from the ground, like a dense, reverse-flowing waterfall, carrying the power to pierce through everything, shooting upwards from the bottom and striking the vital points around Houtu's body!
Furthermore, an invisible gravitational field instantly enveloped him, applying a million times the gravity, enough to crush an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal into a pulp!
This is his trump card, a divine offensive technique! Using the Earth Book as a guide, he mobilizes the supreme power of the earth's veins, transforming mountains and seas into a prison to suppress and kill all powerful enemies!
Faced with this overwhelming and deadly attack, Houtu's eyes showed a hint of solemnity for the first time, but she showed no fear.
Faced with this terrifying gravity, the Ancestral Witch True Body only sank slightly, and the space beneath her feet groaned under the unbearable weight, but it failed to truly restrict her movements.
She let out a deep roar, the sound waves of which, like a tangible impact, shattered the first hundreds of Great Yue Divine Spear that were fired into dust!
"Dharma Heaven Manifestation Earth, and Invulnerable to All Laws! You think mere earth and stones can harm me?!"
Houtu's body was filled with turbid evil energy that rose like black flames, her muscles were bulging, and runes of the law of destruction flowed around her.
Instead of dodging or avoiding, she transformed her left fist into a claw, and with a force capable of tearing apart Universe, she fiercely grabbed at the core of the thickest Great Yue Divine Spear that was thrusting towards her from directly in front!
Sizzle--!?
