Heavenly Dao Is Unjust, Heavenly Dao Is Blind
The Great Yue Divine Spear, powerful enough to pierce stars, was actually caught by Houtu with her Houtu hands!
With a forceful squeeze of her five fingers, she crushed the hard spear, which contained endless essence of Wu Earth, into pieces like rotten wood! The shattered essence of Wu Earth was then absorbed by the Turbid Killing Intent surrounding her and turned into her own!
At the same time, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in her right hand moved!
It was no longer a chopping motion, but rather a sweeping, unpredictable movement.
The Xuan Huang- shaped shadows crisscrossed, seemingly slow, but in reality extremely fast, instantly creating an impenetrable curtain around her.
The Xuanhuang Merit Qi, containing the immense power to destroy all laws and restore order.
The Great Yue Divine Spear, which were being fired in rapid succession, collided with this screen and vanished without a trace, leaving not even a speck of dust behind!
The moment those four towering peaks that were pressing down made contact with the ruler's shadow, countless bottomless cracks appeared on their bodies, and the Xuan Huang light quickly dimmed!
What drove Zhenyuanzi to despair even more was that Houtu's eyes, gleaming with wisdom, once again locked onto a weak point in the operation of the "Mountain Sea Town Prison" divine power—
That was a fleeting gap in the flow of energy that occurred when I forcibly activated my supernatural powers while severely injured, combining them with the illusory image of the Ginseng Fruit Tree!
This shouldn't have been seen through!
"The primordial spirit! It's that damned primordial spirit again!"
Zhenyuanzi roared inwardly.
Houtu spotted that tiny crack!
She suddenly and precisely aimed the "Turbid Guixu to Nothingness" black dot she had condensed in her left hand at that node!
At the same time, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler's Xuan Huang light condensed at a single point on its tip, and like an arrow released from a bow, it followed closely behind, piercing out!
Laugh--!
The deep, dark "Turbid Guixu" dot struck the node first, like a miniature black hole, instantly swallowing, disrupting, and annihilating the energy of the key node that maintained the operation of the supernatural power!
The entire magical structure of "Mountain Sea Town Prison" suddenly froze, the collapse of the four giant peaks accelerated abruptly, and countless Great Yue Divine Spear vanished into thin air.
In that very instant of structural instability and energy disorder!
The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler has gathered a single point of Xuan Huang sharpness, and it has arrived!
Pfft!
A soft sound, yet it struck Zhenyuanzi's heart like a thunderclap!
The ruler tip, imbued with a trace of the true meaning of destruction, pierced with unparalleled precision into the core node that had temporarily lost the protection of the thick earth element of the Earth Book due to the disturbance caused by "Turbid Guixu"!
The destructive laws, the power of Xuanhuang Merit, and the pure and terrifying Ancestral Witch power contained in the Houtu's edge surged like a flood breaking through a dam, instantly flowing along the supernatural structure and rushing back towards the core controller— Zhenyuanzi!
"Ugh--!"
Zhenyuanzi felt as if he had been struck by lightning as a divine retribution!
His entire body arched violently, as if he had been struck hard in the chest by an invisible giant hammer!
The Earth Book floating overhead emitted a piercing wail, its earthen-yellow light dimmed instantly, and even a tiny but real crack appeared on its pages!
The illusory image of the Ginseng Fruit Tree swayed violently, its light flickering and becoming increasingly ethereal.
The forcibly activated "Mountain Sea Town Prison" divine power collapsed like a punctured balloon! The four giant peaks completely disintegrated, turning into dust.
The backlash was like billions of steel needles, piercing deep into Zhenyuanzi's already riddled origins!
Zhenyuanzi could no longer hold on. As if all his bones had been removed, he collapsed and flew backward, crashing heavily into a broken cliff behind him, sending up a shower of rocks.
Blood gushed out like a fountain from his mouth and from the countless open wounds on his body, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
Its aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and even the levitation energy was almost gone. The Earth Book was about to collapse, and the illusory image of the Ginseng Fruit Tree was almost invisible.
The brief power gained from burning one's origin was completely shattered!
The injuries are more than ten times more severe than before!
I could clearly feel that the Fire of Life was being extinguished at a rapid pace.
A tearing pain shot through his soul, and his consciousness began to blur.
Houtu broke through the smoke and dust and slowly walked over. The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler pointed diagonally at the ground, and the tip of the ruler dripped with the original blood belonging to Zhenyuanzi. Each drop was as heavy as a mountain and crashed to the ground, turning into a patch of scorched earth.
Her eyes were icy as she looked down at Zhenyuanzi, who lay limp on the cliff, as if he were a dying ant.
"It's over, Zhenyuanzi."
The icy touch of the cliff seeped into his bones through the tattered Daoist robe, but it was nothing compared to the excruciating pain emanating from the depths of his primordial spirit—a pain that felt as if he were being repeatedly pierced, torn apart, and ground into powder by millions of red-hot steel needles.
Each faint breath seemed to pull at his shattered bones and collapsing internal organs, producing a hoarse sound like that of a dying beast.
Blood, mixed with the golden light of primordial essence, continuously overflowed from his mouth, staining the rocks beneath him and blurring his vision.
Zhenyuanzi's consciousness teetered on the brink of endless pain and rapidly fading life force, like a lone lamp about to be extinguished in a storm.
"Heh... heh..."
He wanted to speak, to question, to utter a final curse, but only a broken bellows-like sound could be squeezed out of his throat.
Before her Houtu Houtu's face, as cold as ice that had stood for millennia, and in her hand, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, radiating an aura that seemed to end everything.
That ruler not only shattered the Earth Book's defenses and pierced through the Dao Foundation, but also nailed his pride and understanding accumulated over billions of years to this shameful predicament.
The pain! It is the excruciating physical pain, the despair of Dao Foundation crumbling and countless years of arduous cultivation going to waste!
It's even more... the pain of having one's understanding completely overturned and ruthlessly mocked!
'Primordial spirit... Ancestral Witch... How can there be a primordial spirit?!' This enormous, absurd question, which subverts the common sense of the Primordial Wilderness, roared and crashed wildly in his collapsing sea of consciousness like the most vicious nightmare, almost bursting his remaining consciousness.
Formed from the Pangu's Essence Blood, this body, a condensation of turbid and malevolent forces, is inherently isolated from the primordial spirit!
This is an ironclad law of Heavenly Dao!
This is the consensus of all Innate Deities since the Heaven-Opening!
But the Ancestral Witch who came stepping on the blood and evil Turbid Qi before us, the wisdom and light flowing in her eyes, the precise divine power to control the backlash of the earth veins, the terrifying ability to wield the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler as easily as an arm... all of these are irrefutable proof!
"Liars! They're all liars! Heavenly Dao, are you blind too?!"
A surge of overwhelming resentment and unwillingness, like the poisonous fire of hell, consumed his last vestiges of consciousness.
Zhenyuanzi, a ruler of the world, wielded the Earth Book, and sifted through the Primordial Wilderness earth's veins for billions of years. He diligently guarded his post, avoiding any involvement in major karmic Karma, yet he met such an end?
First, he was ambushed and severely injured by the treacherous and cunning old thief of the Minghe who hid in the Blood Sea, and then he was intercepted and killed by this Ancestral Witch who shouldn't have possessed a primordial spirit?
The Minghe... and that second gourd... where did it come from?!
Could it be... could it be another 'outlier' like Houtu?!
How unjust Heavenly Dao is! How absurd fate is!
'I... I'm not reconciled!' Unreconciled! An unreconciled feeling strong enough to tear one's soul apart!
Zhenyuanzi was unwilling to accept that the Great Dao had not been achieved and that the foundation of Wuzhuang Temple would be destroyed.
Hong Yun... Thinking of her old friend who always had a gentle smile but ultimately died, a deep sorrow and belated regret welled up in her heart.
If... if I had been more assertive back then... would the outcome have been different?
