Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, World-Destroying Black Lotus

Boom!

As a massive barrier covered the entire Witch Mountain, all the gods and shamans of the Great Xia Dynasty mobilized.

Those cultivators who fought alone were the first to be eliminated from the battlefield, followed by the Eight Legions who were not united.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Three Realms, and surrounded by countless gods and great shamans, the true king of Great Xia —the tenth Witch King, Fu Kui— appeared. Compared to his former high spirits, Fu Kui now seemed to have gained a touch of vicissitude.

His face looked slightly aged, and his attire was exceptionally simple...

If he hadn't stood quietly in the center of the barrier, even the true master of the barrier— Wu Xie— would have shown him respect.

Few would have imagined that this seemingly unassuming middle-aged man would become one of the protagonists of this era.

In order to fully integrate into the atmosphere of Great Xia Great Xia and lead its reforms...

Fu Kui even completely abandoned his former form as the God of Thunder, and became an ordinary Great Xia person.

His gaze swept past Śakra, Minghe, Yama, Lu Ya, Ao Mo, and others.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Kui immediately set his sights on the black fruit.

The next second, Fu Kui transformed into a bolt of lightning, repelling several competitors, and arrived near the black fruit first.

Seeing that the powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld were about to launch a siege against Fu Kui.

The gods and shamans of the Great Xia also stepped forward to protect Fu Kui as he harvested the fruit.

The performance of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain was the most remarkable during this process.

Their strengths varied greatly; at most, they had only broken through the Divine Gate and Heavenly Pass, far inferior to those Dao Proving One from other dimensions. However, the Great Shamans' fighting methods were extremely unpredictable, completely unrestricted by levels such as cultivation and Dao attainment.

"If one is not careful, even Dao Assimilator has already crossed the Divine Gate and Heavenly Pass can easily capsize in a ditch and fall into their trap." Is this what they mean by Outer Dao?

"The Witch Law of this era has not declined; fighting them cannot be based solely on cultivation level."

"Damn it! If I hadn't been worried about exposing my identity and failed to refine the Law Treasure I usually use, how could they possibly be my match!" Amidst the unwilling roars, the Dao Proving One who had crossed time and space cursed through gritted teeth.

This is also the biggest disadvantage of those Dao Proving One compared to practitioners of this era.

It's not that they lack the means to deal with these Outer Dao Witch Law, but rather that they find it difficult or are unable to use them.

After all, these Dao Proving One come from across time and space, and the opponents they need to guard against are never the prodigies of this era, but rather their kind who can also transcend time and space.

Of course, Fu Kui's identity was also a major reason why they were hesitant.

In the eyes of those Dao Proving One possess the perspective of the Great Luo, the density and complexity of the cause and effect surrounding Fu Kui are no less than those surrounding Suirenshi in the long river of history.

He is the protagonist of this era, a being who has been entrusted with the mandate of Heavenly Mandate.

His every move and word will determine the future direction of this world.

To put it bluntly, the future of the Great Xia and its wizards, and whether a new "Lord Equal to the World" will emerge, all depend on the decisions Fu Kui makes now.

Wait! What's that?

"That golden halo... that's the gate to Mystic Garden!"

"It's the Mountain Folk of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the Three-Eyed Clan has arrived!"

Almost the instant Fu Kui reached out and touched the black fruit, a huge golden ring suddenly opened above the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures. The golden ring connected the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and countless cultivators, some riding swords, some sailing boats, and some transforming into streaks of light, quickly swarmed out from it. By the time the people of the Three Realms realized what was happening, it was the time when the Mountain Folk were also planning to compete for the Seven Treasures Fruit.

At the other end of that golden ring, a massive constellation of the Heavenly Palace satellites slowly rotated.

Countless high-altitude orbital weapons, poised for launch, are already aimed at those who are ready to make a move.

Seeing this, even the most furious among the remaining people had no choice but to abandon the black fruit and turn their attention to the remaining four. "Are we going to steal these too!?"

It was immediately clear whose handiwork this was; Wu Xian's angry voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Sure enough, a familiar figure soon emerged from the golden ring.

She was slender with Ice Skin and Jade Bones, imposing aura.

The visitor was none other than Lu Huaijin, Li Boyang's personal disciple and the renowned leader of the Hawk Faction in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Whether we steal it or not is unimportant; what's important is that we can't let you get it.

His nonchalant tone betrayed a cold smile; Lu Huaijin's perspective was nowhere near as broad as his master's.

Lu Huaijin harbored undisguised malice and murderous intent towards all forces and individuals who attempted to hinder the rise of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Haha, it's the same recipe, the same taste!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Luo emerged from the sky, and thousands of weapons grew from his body.

"Try to stop us from taking this fruit? Then let's see if you have the ability!"

"It's been a few years since we last clashed. I'd like to see what new weapons you Hundred Lands Mountain Range have developed this time!"

Before Wu Luo could finish speaking, the surrounding space began to distort abnormally.

A graveyard of blood and fire, it instantly drew many Mountain Folk, including Lu Huaijin, into its clutches.

One Mind-Aspect Barrier - Golden Halberd Weapon Lord!

Following Wu Luo, the remaining great shamans also activated their Mind-Aspect Barrier, promptly stopping the cultivators from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range. Moreover, as time went on, the shamanic temples and people within the Great Xia territory also realized what was happening.

Those who were closest rushed to Witch Mountain to try and help their great shaman.

Those who are farther away simply resort to all sorts of bizarre witchcraft, doing everything they can to influence the situation on the battlefield.

At this moment, Witch Mountain's advantage as the home team became fully apparent.

Besides the unpredictable environment of Witch Mountain.

The constant stream of shamans and warriors arriving from all directions ensures the absolute advantage of the Great Xia on this battlefield. Even the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, which have opened the [Mystic Garden Gate], are far inferior to the Great Xia in this respect.

Buzz!

It's unclear whether it was the effect of the continuous killing or the natural ripening of the fruit.

The moment Fu Kui ignored the surrounding circumstances and reached out to touch the black fruit, an unprecedented ferocity surged into his heart.

Fortunately, Fu Kui was kind-hearted and had strong self-control.

Otherwise, that one moment of contact would have been enough to turn Fu Kui into the most ferocious and evil demon king in the Six Desire Heavens.

"Is it actually a fruit that symbolizes the hatred of all living beings?"

"Fortunately, I have experience suppressing my Heart Demon, so this feeling isn't unfamiliar to me."

His hair stood on end, and his robes fluttered loudly...

With a ferocious expression, Fu Kui muttered to himself as he tried to control the transformation of the black fruit.

In terms of raw power, Fu Kui was certainly inferior to those Dao Proving One from the Minghe.

But with Suirenshi's previous actions as a foundation, Fu Kui already knew how to influence these fruits.

The only problem now is that Fu Kui isn't sure if the fruit he ripened in this way will possess the functions of the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire and the Golden Lotus of Merit. [At worst, I'll just consider it my final "Witch King Cauldron" left for the Great Xia!]

As this thought flashed through Fu Kui's mind, a black lotus flower suddenly bloomed in his hand.

The World-Destroying Black Lotus, hated by all sentient beings!
