Through Bai Chen's words, Nuwa also understood the danger to the Primordial World if the Innate Gourd Vine successfully proved the Dao.
Bai Chen climbed onto Nuwa's shoulder, tugged at the hair by her ear, and said irritably:
"Nuwa, if the sky collapses, the Saints will hold it up. Even if the Saints can't hold it, the Heavenly Dao will. What are you worrying about?"
"Besides, it can't prove the Dao anyway. We just need to watch it fall."
Bai Chen was a little speechless. Nuwa had not even become a Saint yet, but she had already begun worrying about all living beings in the Primordial World.
What would happen after she proved the Dao and became a Saint? Nuwa absolutely had to learn to put Great God Bai Chen first!
"Little White, how can you be so sure?"
Nuwa was puzzled as to why Bai Chen was so certain that the Innate Gourd Vine would fail to prove the Dao. Could he have deduced it?
Even she, a Quasi-Saint in the early stage, had been unable to deduce it. There was no way Bai Chen, a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak stage, could have done so.
"Nuwa, look at where its roots are planted."
Sitting on Nuwa's shoulder, Bai Chen gnawed on a spiritual fruit with one claw and pointed at the roots of the Innate Gourd Vine with the other:
"Its roots are planted in Buzhou Mountain, absorbing the power of the Heavenly Pillar, Buzhou Mountain.
"If it absorbs enough power to prove the Dao, Buzhou Mountain's might will inevitably be greatly reduced. Whether Buzhou Mountain can continue supporting Heaven and Earth will be hard to say."
"Once something happens to Buzhou Mountain and the great momentum of Heaven and Earth merging is triggered, all living beings in the Primordial World will suffer the calamity."
The Innate Gourd Vine was using Buzhou Mountain's power to prove the Dao. This meant abandoning all living beings in the Primordial World.
In such a situation, the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, and even Great God Pangu—whose survival was still unknown—would never agree to let the Innate Gourd Vine prove the Dao.
Sure enough, the Calamity Qi began to take effect. Divine flames suddenly erupted from Buzhou Mountain.
These flames were called Dutian Divine Fire, and they were Great God Pangu's fire divine ability.
As soon as the Dutian Divine Fire appeared, it began burning the roots of the Innate Gourd Vine that were planted in Buzhou Mountain, preventing it from absorbing Buzhou Mountain's power.
When the Innate Gourd Vine saw Dutian Divine Fire burning its roots, it hurriedly severed them itself and flew out of Buzhou Mountain to avoid being affected.
At that moment, the seventy-two layers of Purple霄 Divine Thunder in the tribulation clouds had finished forming.
Nine layers of Yimu True Thunder, nine layers of Binghuo Yang Thunder, nine layers of Guishui Yin Thunder, nine layers of Gengjin Tribulation Thunder, nine layers of Wutu Underworld Thunder, nine layers of Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder, nine layers of God-Slaughtering Demon Thunder, and nine layers of Life-and-Death Purple Thunder descended at the same time.
The seventy-two layers of the Eight Purple霄 Thunders ruthlessly shattered the Primordial Unity Dao Fruit that the Innate Gourd Vine had been condensing, severed its vitality, annihilated its primordial spirit, and erased its consciousness.
During the Heaven-Opening Tribulation, the Innate Gourd Vine had only had its Primordial Unity Dao Fruit shattered by Great God Pangu and been beaten back into its original form, barely preserving its life.
But what about today, when it was proving the Dao?
The Innate Gourd Vine had fallen completely—cleanly and utterly. It would never have another chance to rise again.
Seeing the Innate Gourd Vine fall, Bai Chen immediately transformed into divine light and charged toward its corpse. Great God Bai Chen was going to pluck the gourds.
Bai Chen was extremely fast, but the other Innate Great Gods watching in secret were not slow to react either.
Ten streams of divine light circled around the Innate Gourd Vine. After clashing for several exchanges, they split apart and revealed their true forms.
These ten streams of divine light were Bai Chen; Nuwa and Fuxi; the Three Pure Ones; Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi; and Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi.
The ten Innate Great Gods present were divided into four factions.
With the Qian Kun Cauldron above his head, the Hammer of Reason in his left claw, and the Heaven Measuring Ruler (Ruler of Morality) in his right claw, Bai Chen was furious.
If these fellows had not obstructed him just now, he would have packed up the entire corpse of the Innate Gourd Vine already.
Bai Chen swept his gaze over the Innate Great Gods, then fixed it on Di Jun and shouted:
"Di Jun, how dare you try to snatch my spiritual treasure?"
During the chaotic battle just now, Bai Chen had clashed with Di Jun.
Di Jun had seen that Bai Chen's three treasures were extraordinary and had wanted to seize them, but he had failed.
"Bai Chen, your cultivation is weak. Those treasures are wasted in your hands!"
Di Jun did not hide it and admitted it openly.
"Is that so?"
(●?(工)?●)
Bai Chen revealed his fierce triangular eyes and glared fixedly at Di Jun.
This damned three-legged crow not only wants to snatch Great God Bai Chen's spiritual treasure, but is even mocking his weak cultivation. Damn it.
"Di Jun, receive a strike from Great God Bai Chen's ruler!"
"Heaven Measuring Ruler!"
"One Ruler Measures Heaven!"
Bai Chen unleashed the full power of the Heaven Measuring Ruler. Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi and Heaven-Opening Merit manifested, transforming into a gigantic blade that measured Heaven and Earth as it slashed toward Di Jun.
"!!!"
The might of the Heaven Measuring Ruler made Di Jun's pupils contract in fright.
Although he had seen early on that Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler was extraordinary, he had never expected it to be this powerful.
Its offensive might as a Houtian Supreme Treasure was even more terrifying than a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. How did it look anything like a spiritual treasure refined after the birth of Heaven and Earth?
Just what lunatic had refined this Houtian Supreme Treasure?
Great Dao: I'm the lunatic?
The Heaven Measuring Ruler was indeed a Houtian Supreme Treasure!
However, it had been refined by the Great Dao using ten percent of Great God Pangu's Heaven-Opening Merit and the Primordial World's first strand of Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi. It was the Primordial World's first Houtian offensive supreme treasure, a Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure.
The Heaven Measuring Ruler specialized in offense. Its other abilities were not strong, but it was incredibly powerful in combat. Its offensive might was unparalleled, and killing with it did not incur karma.
"This isn't an ordinary Houtian Supreme Treasure!"
"Chaos Bell!"
Afraid that Di Jun would be unable to withstand Bai Chen's attack, Eastern Emperor Taiyi hurriedly offered the Innate Supreme Treasure, Chaos Bell.
As soon as the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell appeared, five-colored radiance illuminated the heavens, while the might of Chaos and the Saint shook the universe.
When the Chaos Bell and Heaven Measuring Ruler clashed, the resulting power shattered the Space Laws in one section of Heaven and Earth and drew in chaotic astral winds.
Fortunately, Buzhou Mountain suppressed the Primordial World, so the Space Laws in this area quickly recovered.
"Meow!"
Bai Chen's claw trembled. That strike had been too powerful, and even he was feeling awful.
Bai Chen hurriedly ate several innate spiritual fruits, restoring his claw.
As for Eastern Emperor Taiyi, his condition was not much better than Bai Chen's. After all, the Heaven Measuring Ruler contained Heaven-Opening Merit and Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi.
This Fat Cat's treasure actually surpasses my Chaos Bell in offensive power. Fortunately, this Fat Cat's cultivation is not high enough to unleash the treasure's full might.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi had also been frightened by the Heaven Measuring Ruler's offensive power. If the Chaos Bell had not been an Innate Supreme Treasure but merely a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it would definitely have been knocked down a grade.
One had to understand that if the Primordial World had a ranking of offensive supreme treasures—
the God-Slaying Spear and Pangu Banner would be fighting over first and second place, while the Heaven Measuring Ruler would firmly occupy third place for ten thousand years.
The Chaos Bell was indeed an Innate Supreme Treasure!
But the Chaos Bell was an all-purpose treasure, not one focused solely on offense.
How could the offensive power of the all-purpose Chaos Bell compare with that of the Heaven Measuring Ruler, which specialized in offense and contained Heaven-Opening Merit and Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi?
As for the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?
It was a formation. Please register in the neighboring formation rankings.
Seeing the power unleashed by Bai Chen's strike, Di Jun could not help but tremble inwardly.
With his Half-step Quasi-Saint cultivation and the Top-grade Spiritual Treasure Hetu Luoshu, he could withstand Bai Chen's strike, but he definitely would not come out of it unscathed.
Bai Chen's strike was too powerful. He had already used his treasure to make up for the gap in cultivation.
Di Jun dared to say that even an ordinary Quasi-Saint in the early stage, if lacking a supreme treasure and fighting Bai Chen, would very likely be beaten up by him.
Di Jun had no choice but to admit that the Heaven Measuring Ruler in Bai Chen's hand was astonishingly powerful.
The Three Pure Ones' Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda contained thirty percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit and was undisputedly the Primordial World's number one defensive supreme treasure.
Even the offensive Innate Supreme Treasure, Pangu Banner, could not break through the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda's defenses.
Although the Heaven Measuring Ruler contained only ten percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit and could not become the Primordial World's number one offensive supreme treasure, it was still more than enough to bully some Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
After witnessing the power of the Heaven Measuring Ruler in Bai Chen's hands, Di Jun's greed grew even stronger.
Di Jun made up his mind. One day, he would definitely obtain the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Beside Nuwa, Fuxi glanced at his companion Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Fuxi Qin—and suddenly felt that it was no longer appealing.
Although his cultivation was one minor realm higher than Bai Chen's, at the Half-step Quasi-Saint level, he had no confidence that he could withstand Bai Chen's strike with the Fuxi Qin.
How could this evil beast, Bai Chen, have such a powerful spiritual treasure?
This is infuriating!
The evil beast Bai Chen was at odds with him. He had to guard against this evil beast in the future, lest he be ambushed by it.
"Bai Chen, you immediately used an offensive supreme treasure of this level against my elder brother. Isn't that going too far?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi rebuked Bai Chen angrily. He felt fortunate that he had acted in time; otherwise, his elder brother might well have been injured by Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler.
"Three-legged crow, are you incapable of reason?"
"It was clearly that dead bird Di Jun who offended Great God Bai Chen first. Even if Great God Bai Chen beat him to death, he would deserve it!"
Bai Chen angrily rebuked the brothers Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. At this moment, the more he looked at the pair, the more he disliked them.
Bai Chen had already made up his mind. From now on, he would make these two fellows serve as Yuanfeng's replacements in prison.
Once these two fellows cultivated to the Half-step Dao Proving realm, that would be the time for Yuanfeng to break free.
