Chapter 44 Fuxi
"How dare you!"
"You're courting death!"
Before Feng Zichen could even move, he heard several loud shouts. Simultaneously, several beast claws emerged from the void, viciously grabbing at him.
Sensing the aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal emanating from the beast claws, Feng Zichen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, all the Great Luo Golden Immortal level demon gods had gone to the Lingxiao Palace to attend the grand event, leaving only a few Taiyi Golden Immortals guarding this place.
He quickly summoned his merit light, transforming it into a treasure cauldron to protect himself, and fled towards the heavens. To fight the demon race in their stronghold was truly courting death. Did
they really think the five Quasi-Saints, ten Demon Gods, and dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals of the demon race were made of clay?
Feng Zichen was fast, but the demon generals' supernatural powers were even faster. Several beast claws flashed with sharp, cold light, tearing dark cracks in space, carrying the power of the Great Dao, and heavily striking the merit light.
The aura of merit was formed from Feng Zichen's accumulated merit, making it incredibly powerful. It could even withstand attacks from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, let alone the mere supernatural powers of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
After the beast's claw struck the Merit Cauldron, wisps of Xuanhuang Qi descended from the cauldron, flying towards the beast's claw and shattering it into pieces.
"Merit Qi, such dense merit Qi! Who is this person? How can he possess so much merit Qi?"
Seeing the cauldron formed from the merit aura, the demon general Wumeng exclaimed in shock.
"That's not important. Venturing into the juncture of the Nine Heavens is one thing, but he even dared to plunder the primordial stellar energy. Does he think that with merit protecting him, he can do whatever he wants?"
The demon general Lili roared angrily when he saw Feng Zichen withdraw a wisp of primordial stellar energy.
"Indeed, this is the Heavenly Court's sacred ground; how can we allow outsiders to act so recklessly!"
The demon general Jufu sneered, transforming into a streak of black light and flashing before Feng Zichen.
The Taiyi Golden Immortal is a realm of perfect harmony with the Dao. They possess the initial ability to mobilize the power of the Great Dao, their every move accompanied by its power, making them incredibly powerful.
The three demon generals guarding this place are all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Although Feng Zichen has a spiritual treasure protecting him, his cultivation is only at the Xuan Immortal realm.
On the path of cultivation, the difference in strength between each realm becomes increasingly greater. Moreover, there is the Golden Immortal realm separating them.
Thus, no matter how fast Feng Zichen is, in the eyes of the three demon generals, it's no different from a tortoise crawling! In just a moment, he was surrounded by the three demon generals.
Trapped here, Feng Zichen is not worried at all. His entire body is shrouded in golden light of merit, making it impossible to see his face.
He stands there quietly, and no matter what methods the three demon generals use, they cannot break through his defenses.
"Where did this ant get so much merit energy?"
The three demon gods had been besieging Feng Zichen for a long time, using all sorts of supernatural powers, but they hadn't even stirred the slightest ripple in the merit energy aura. They couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"Damn it! We three Taiyi Golden Immortals joined forces, yet we couldn't even defeat a Xuan Immortal. If word got out, how could we face the Heavenly Court!"
They unleashed several more powerful supernatural powers, but the merit energy aura didn't even flicker before being blocked. The more Wu Meng thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and he finally exploded. His body blurred, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall, fiery red monkey.
Roar!
With a roar, Wu Meng took out a spiked club wreathed in flames, which radiated countless rays of light, and smashed it towards Feng Zichen.
Instantly, the space around them began to tremble, as if it couldn't withstand the power of the spiked club and was about to shatter. The fire on the spiked club, of unknown origin, emitted an aura that could burn everything, distorting the void and igniting the laws of nature.
Unfortunately, the defense of the Merit Aura was at the Daluo level. No matter how strong Wu Meng's power was, he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, far from reaching the Daluo realm, and unable to break through the Merit Aura's defense.
Taiyi Golden Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal—a difference of one realm, yet a world apart. Taiyi Golden Immortals can only rely on the power of the Great Dao, while Daluo Golden Immortals are the embodiment of the Great Dao. Taiyi Golden Immortals possess immortal spirits and endless lifespans, while Daluo Golden Immortals are immortal and indestructible, their proof eternal.
The difference between Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals is indescribable. No matter how strong a Taiyi Golden Immortal is, in the eyes of a Daluo Golden Immortal, they are like ants.
A single strike from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal can mobilize the power of their past, present, future, and countless other dimensions, equivalent to countless versions of themselves attacking simultaneously. How could a Taiyi Golden Immortal possibly withstand such power? His first attack failed, and Wu Meng flew into a rage, his ferocity flaring as he brandished his spiked club, smashing it down on Feng Zichen and his group.
"Wu Meng, calm down!"
Seeing Wu Meng's rage, Ju Fu advised,
"This man is protected by merit; ordinary methods are unlikely to harm him. Why don't we join forces and banish him to the void, then see what means he has to escape?"
Hearing this, Wu Meng calmed down, panting heavily, and said,
"Good!"
Even the usually silent Li Li couldn't help but praise,
"This method is brilliant!"
At this moment, Feng Zichen could no longer remain calm. If they truly banished him to the void, getting out would be troublesome.
With a fierce resolve, Feng Zichen decided to use the Five Elements Divine Light to draw them into the Five Elements Realm. Once he escaped, he would first extinguish the five vital energies within their chests. After venting his anger, he would release them.
The cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal involves refining the five vital energies within the chest, perfecting them, and reaching the state of Five Energy Convergence. Eliminating the five vital energies within their chests would knock them down from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Just as the four were gathering their magical power, preparing to unleash their respective methods, suddenly, the scene changed drastically.
Countless innate Dao patterns appeared, crisscrossing in the void, giving rise to the shape of the Innate Eight Trigrams, enveloping the four present.
The Innate Eight Trigrams were profound and unpredictable; as they operated, they stirred the power of heaven and earth, wind and thunder, water, fire, mountains, and marshes. Faced with such power, the four were powerless to resist and were easily suppressed.
However, the commotion had alerted Fuxi, who was resting in the Xihuang Palace.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty Xihuang!"
Although Fuxi had not appeared, the Innate Eight Trigrams were his symbol, unique in the primordial world. Therefore, upon seeing the Innate Eight Trigrams appear, the three demon generals hurriedly bowed.
"No need for formalities! This person is related to me; you don't need to concern yourselves with him!"
Accompanied by a high-pitched voice, a suction force emanated from the void, pulling Feng Zichen away.
The three demons exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This person was related to Emperor Xi. Why didn't he say so earlier, causing so much trouble for no reason?
Feng Zichen, led by this suction force, entered an ancient palace—the Emperor Xi's Palace.
"You, a human, how dare you! You actually dare to come here to steal the primordial energy of the stars? Do you have a death wish?"
As soon as he landed, Feng Zichen heard Emperor Xi's mocking voice and was startled.
Besides obtaining the primordial energy of the stars, he had also obtained a precious pearl. Emperor Xi hadn't mentioned it at all; hadn't He discovered it?
Thinking of this, Feng Zichen felt a surge of excitement!
