Xingtian Shi (23)

"I am Xingtian Shi, the great shaman of Mount Changyang."

Since it wasn't a fight to the death, Wu Zhen simply followed the Great Xia tradition and introduced himself as a high-ranking shaman.

"Xingtian was originally an unnamed Heavenly Deity under the command of the Heavenly Emperor..."

"But because he fought with the Heavenly Emperor for the throne, the Emperor beheaded him and buried him on Mountain of Changyang."

"The Heavenly Deity severed his hand, the Heavenly Emperor severed his head..."

"From this point on, he used his ** as his eyes and his navel as his mouth, wielding Ganqi to dance, and was called Xingtian."

As Wu Zhen slowly walked past the Netherworld Devil God before him, he appeared extremely proud when mentioning this history.

After Xingtian's death, the Changyang Tribes inherited his will.

"Join the Great Xia under the name of Xingtian Shi, and help them guard the Guixu of the West."

"I was originally chosen by the tribe as the sixth Xingtian Shi, but I abandoned this path, this shortcut to becoming a god."

"Because I was chosen as the successor to the ninth Witch King from a young age, and I also accepted the Witch King's ideals."

"The Heavenly Deity is a one-way street; even living thousands of years in vain cannot grant immortality..."

Even the brilliant and talented Heavenly Emperor from ten thousand years ago, with the legendary Immortality Herb, still perished and his soul vanished.

"So I took a different approach, abandoning the name of Xingtian Shi, and created my own way of commanding gods and ghosts."

Wu Zhen paused slightly at this point.

"Decades before your birth, I traveled to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and settled in the Guifang Kingdom for a period of time."

"Because I've heard that there are methods to control Ghost God there, which might enlighten me."

"Unfortunately, the methods of the Guifang are ultimately just minor tricks, not worthy of serious consideration."

"Until Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven, Gods and Devils fell."

"I have just hunted down countless remains of Gods and Devils, and perfected this method of forging gods and refining demons."

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang nodded with a hint of realization.

So, it turns out the reason so many heretical ideas arose in the Guifang Kingdom was all because of Wu Zhen?

If we really want to get to the bottom of this, the eventual destruction of the Guifang Kingdom by Wuzhiqi was probably partly due to Wu Zhen's influence.

"Forging gods and refining demons? That's quite fitting!"

Looking up at the Distortion Devil God in the sky, Li Boyang couldn't help but sigh.

"But when it comes to exorcising spirits and commanding ghosts, I'm actually quite good at it."

Li Boyang snapped his fingers lightly, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly rose up.

Rumble...

In less than a few breaths.

A rock giant, whose size was in no way inferior to that of the Distortion Devil God, rose from the ground.

The giant was tens of feet tall, and its body surface was covered with a substance similar to magma.

These active energies constitute an activated [Life Talisman Incantation].

In giving life to the rock giant, it also gave it an energy circulation center that matched its size.

"I call this Earth Escape Technique, a Law Technique specifically for manipulating the earth."

"Although under normal circumstances, I prefer to use this kind of Law Technique to dredge the Earth Veins, fertilize, and irrigate..."

"But if it really comes down to fighting, this is also a very convenient method."

"I plan to promote this Law Technique in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range in the future. What do you think of this idea?"

Standing atop the rock giant's head, Li Boyang, who appeared as insignificant as an ant in comparison, uttered a resounding voice.

"Ordinary soil and rocks are far too fragile compared to the remains of gods."

Seeing this, Wu Zhen decisively commanded the Distortion Devil God to launch an attack.

Crack!

It was accompanied by a sound like a mirror shattering.

The Distortion Devil God appeared out of thin air at the location of the rock giant, its body strangely overlapping with his.

Immediately afterward, the rock giant didn't even have a chance to display its divine Divine Power.

Its entire body was shattered into pieces, becoming part of the Distortion Devil God.

"Folded spacetime?"

Slightly surprised by the bizarre attack method, Li Boyang quickly recognized the true nature of the Distortion Devil God.

By twisting and folding space, the demon shatters its enemies; the larger the Distortion Devil God's size, the harder it is to dodge its attacks.

"How about this?"

In a split second, Li Boyang launched a counterattack.

The giant "remains" that had been shredded by the Distortion Devil God transformed once more, turning into small, Fang Boar that rampaged through its body.

Those Fang Boar were engulfed in dazzling flames, and the Maxims on their bodies radiated a crimson light.

From a distance, it looks as if the sky is refracted by countless mirrors, appearing fragmented.

Inside those fragmented skies, countless Fang Boar rampaged and crashed about.

They are either up, down, left, or right, seemingly about to collide at any moment, yet they somehow appear in another Mirror Dimension just before the collision.

"Twisted... Demon God?"

It was also the first time that Wu Zhen summoning this demon god, and Xuansu Shi could not hide her shock.

It distorts the space, making it appear as if it were a broken mirror.

One's own body is part of the distorted space; any attempt to attack oneself will be distorted and bounced off by the shattered space.

Xuansu Shi simply couldn't imagine how Wu Zhen had created such a demon god.

But what Xuansu Shi found even more incredible was that Li Boyang's response was equally ingenious.

With just a few tests, Li Boyang not only discerned the essence of this Distortion Devil God, but also figured out the twisted pattern through the rampaging of the Fang Boar within its body.

"It seems you only managed to hunt down a god with spatial abilities by sheer luck."

When Li Boyang's booming voice reached Xuansu Shi's ears, the entire battle situation instantly reversed.

"Watch closely, this is the true essence of spatial abilities!"

Suddenly taking a step forward, Li Boyang bypassed the obstruction of the Distortion Devil God and appeared directly in front of Wu Zhen.

"Turning the ends of the earth into a mere foot, gathering the universe in the palm of your hand."

He pointed a single finger at Wu Zhen, who was standing very close.

A faint, dark yellow Sword Qi appeared at Li Boyang's fingertips.

If this were a life-or-death battle, even if Wu Zhen survived, he would be in dire straits.

"These are the Maxims Talismans of the Witch of the Huai River; I've seen some of them before at the Dragon Girl Temple upstream of the Huai Calamity..."

"I never imagined that such a method of controlling the changes of heaven and earth with just words actually existed in this world."

Just as Li Boyang was able to quickly see through the essence of the Distortion Devil God.

Wu Zhen quickly noticed the faint golden halo beneath the opponent's feet.

It was precisely because of that halo that Li Boyang was able to achieve the A World Away Within Inches.

"Maxims are merely a medium; the vehicle that carries those Maxims is the key."

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to cultivate a truly suitable carrier yet, so I can't fully stabilize this Heaven and Earth Ring."

"Otherwise, I could simply throw the Heaven and Earth Ring and smash you, you Distortion Devil God, to pieces."
