Chapter 1542

"Your Majesty, the Huai King, this, this is————won?" Xu Wenzhu asked, trembling.

The Holy Emperor stared blankly at the sky, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

"I, don't know————"

"Grandfather."

Xie Hongyu turned to look at the tribal chieftain, nervous and expectant, even a hint of regret surfacing.

When they first exchanged the myriad phenomena, there had been a condition for him to follow the Huai King for three years, but later, due to exchanging one more Ba Snake, better terms were offered, and the three-year agreement vanished without a trace————

The old chieftain patted his grandson on the back of the head, his finger pointing sideways.

Xie Hongyu followed the direction with his gaze.

By the banks of the Jianghuai Lake, the waves shimmered, Jiang Tun, Jiang otters, large crabs, azure dragons, black frogs————Liang Qu's troupe of aquatic beasts cheered and leapt, heads held high, chests puffed out.

The old chieftain pointed to the other side.

Xie Hongyu turned his head again, and was instantly startled.

Originally smooth-skinned, chubby, with a small satchel tied at the waist, hiding behind the crowd was an old toad, who suddenly shook himself and

transformed, striding forward with head held high and chest puffed out, wearing a crown, grasping a scepter, a great red cloak fluttering wildly in the river wind behind him, feathers on his head swaying to and fro.

When?

The spring river warms, and the frogs know first.

Xie Hongyu's face flushed faintly, he rubbed his fingers, his heart pounding like thunder, but if Liang Qu did not appear for a moment, everyone would have to endure each moment in anxious uncertainty.

When the blue light was completely overwhelmed by the red light, it collapsed utterly. Now the red light is completely dominated by the blue light, it should have ended, what are the Huai King and the Great Li Taizu doing?

After ten thousand years, there was a furnace; after another ten thousand years, there was the transformation into a rainbow.

Even if they are enemies, they should still cherish each other.

After victory or defeat is decided, shall we sit and discuss the Dao?

"I fuck your mother!!!"

One punch after another shattering skulls, one piece after another tearing away flesh.

"I want————"

"What do you want, what do you want.?"

Like a drowning man surfacing, then pressed down again, the White Ape seized the Great Li Taizu's neck, shaking him violently, "Why won't you let your mother out, why won't you let your mother out! Don't you want to acknowledge me as your stepfather? Don't you want to acknowledge? You unfilial son!

I feed you, I give you drink, I clothe you, I provide for your use, I have borne you quadruplets for me to raise, do you know how much rice you eat in a month, do you know how many coins a dou of rice costs? Now you come out to oppose? Again you want to run, come back!"

The sound shook the eight wastes, penetrating the void.

Heaven and earth, sun and moon, four seasons, reincarnation————

Heaven and earth suppress the dream dynasty's king, expanding without cease, expanding, expanding, endless expansion, bringing, endless growth in power!

The Great Li Taizu tried to flee, the White Ape raised his hand to seize.

Pangu split all obstacles, Yinglong flowed in all directions, everywhere present, no Wu Zhiqi violent contention, dominating the yin and yang, illusory and real transformations.

Clearly just reaching forward, yet he crossed the boundary between dream and reality, spanning millions of li, tens of millions of li.

The raspberries of Nanjiang, the mutton of Beiting, the precious fish of Jianghuai, the jade of Mount Tianshan, the treasures in the dream, existing and non-existing, the living and the dead.

As long as it is what He desires, a single reach and grasp, and it can be clenched in the palm!

The vision inverted.

The Great Li Taizu, as if possessed, returned again to the White Ape's grasp, the White Ape clenched his neck tightly, his long middle finger pressing on the Great Li Taizu's temple, twisting repeatedly, breaking through and entering.

"Run run run, say a couple of words and you're unhappy, is it rebellious adolescence? Is it youthful vigor? As Confucius said, a small stick must be endured, a big stick before you walk! Eat my Great Wilderness Imprison Heaven Finger! Let you be rebellious, let you be rebellious!"

"Ah!!!"

The Great Li Taizu's voice hoarse from exertion, veins bulging.

Fingertips grinding open flesh, crushing the skull, bursting blood vessels, piercing nerves.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the middle finger piercing through the skull, the Great Li Taizu's eyes, from left to right, successively bled crimson, then rolled upward.

The White Ape flung his hand, casting aside the corpse, raised his hand again to seize the second immortal.

Breaking the long legs, snapping the arms, twisting into a braid, two broken fingers inserted into the brow corners.

"Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation!"

The third immortal.

A great hand pressed on the waist, from head to toe, a hand blade swept across, the river lord disassembled, tearing apart while rolling.

"The three fresh delicacies must be cut into rolling knife blocks, rolling knife blocks!"

The fourth immortal.

Countless fists flew and smashed, like raindrops, the body bursting out large holes in the fist wind.

"Can you win? You will win! You are the challenger! Amaterasla!"

Illusory and real transformation.

The first immortal again fresh from the oven, dream realm severing.

Blood traces shot forth from the White Ape's body, he cared not, his visage ferocious, canine teeth bared, he raised his hand to clutch the skull, blood spraying four ways, splashing into his eyeballs.

He could feel the Great Li Taizu's authority, as long as he wished, one punch could utterly shatter the Great Li Taizu's transformation into a rainbow, blasting him to dregs.

But he did not wish to!

He wanted only immortality, only endless reincarnation.

After enduring so long, how could he let the Great Li Taizu just————die happily!

The Great Li Taizu's color faded from vivid to dull, from dull to ashen.

His eyes turned crimson gold.

Heaven and earth contain and embrace all, covering everything.

All thoughts burst forth, shooting out like meteors falling from the sky, sparks flying everywhere.

Bai Yuan does not know what he is saying, but he must say it—think of something, say it; want to say something, say it. The bodily eruption is insufficient to vent; he needs to curse, needs to shout, needs to look! Spraying out with all senses.

The scorching blood must surge out like a volcano; if he does not shout, it will explode and destroy himself.

"Playing cards! Call the landlord! Call it, I damn well make you call the landlord! Can you play cards or not? Can you play cards or not? You say you have cards, then I let you sit at the table!"

"Land————lord————"

"Dog's bark!"

Bai Yuan roared, raising both hands over his head, pulling them apart.

The First Immortal was torn in two, the Second Immortal entered his hand again, fist pressing down on the heavenly spirit cover.

"Hydraulic press! Buzz buzz buzz————"

Bai Yuan voiced, pressing his fist down bit by bit, the neck of the Great Li Taizu broke, the skull bit by bit stuffed into the abdominal cavity, soft viscera squeezed out from the gap.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Canine teeth bared wildly, ferocious beast laughing madly.

The Lotus Great Scholar's gaze was dull and vacant; he tried to envision Bai Yuan submitting in the dream, but it was useless, useless, like ants gnawing an elephant, finally collapsing completely.

There is no way.

There is no way at all.

Cannot do it, utterly cannot do it.

Ten thousand years of scheming, three transformations into rainbows, already————

No, from, the moment of the second rainbow transformation, there was already not a single chance of victory!

Wait for pressure, wait for dismantling, wait for death.

Mad demon, mad monkey, mad person.

"Ah hahaha, ah hahaha!"

The Lotus Great Scholar shouted loudly, suddenly rose, barefoot ran out of the Heaven Fire Sect, staggering, incoherent speech, looking up to heaven and laughing loudly.

"God! I have summoned forth a god! Hahaha!"

"I am the Burning Lamp, I am Manjusri, I am Aravala, I am Utpalavarnga————Ling Xu, Tai Yu, do you see? I am the Burning Lamp, I am Manjusri!"

"Everyone, do you see? I am Aravala, I am Utpalavarnga!"

The Lotus Great Scholar ran out of the Heaven Fire Sect, clothes tattered, speaking to everyone he met, gradually drifting away.

The Heaven Fire Sect fell into dead silence, the Xiong Xiongdahuo gradually extinguished.

Burned through.

Everything burned through.

The vast Heaven Fire Sect, only a few Fifth and Sixth Realm elders lingered on, emaciated like firewood, all Heaven Fire Sect disciples turned to ashes.

Wu Ling Xu and Fei Tai Yu's faces were ashen, lips trembling, despair rising.

It is over.

Everything is over.

The broken pillar collapsed, shattering into three sections.

"Roar!!!"

Void ripples swept past, soul trembled, head dazed, only the illusion-reality transformation remained, the instinct of constant rebirth and survival.

The Great Li Taizu's head grew increasingly dazed, he began to blur, began to be confused.

A faint ink scent drifted into the nostrils.

Where did the ink come from?

Does Bai Yuan want to choke him to death with ink?

The Great Li Taizu opened his eyes, saw a pair of slightly immature hands, the side of the palm bearing a faint ink ring.

He stared, astonished, raised his head, the classroom teacher was organizing the classics.

Academy?

Such a distant memory, so far that he almost forgot.

"Dismissal!"

The instructor announced, strode out, the Great Li Taizu instinctively felt reluctance, as he had just watched the instructor step out of the room, a large hand had already pressed onto his head.

"Woo ho!"

A cheer, the Great Li Taizu's head uncontrollably lolled sideways, blood rushed to the brain, bringing a moment of dizziness and discomfort, nearly hitting the earth wall beside him.

The Great Li Taizu struggled to control his body.

Looking up again, the student behind had already walked three zhang away, walking home with friends, as if forcefully pushing someone's head, it was his unique way of greeting.

Really wanted to kill him.

The Great Li Taizu gripped his cuff, and indeed, there was a dagger there.

"Young Master."

Someone called out.

It was the groom.

The carriage swayed, traveling on the dirt road, the axle creaked, very bumpy.

Passing through the gate, he saw the stepfather emerge from his mother's house, tidying his clothes.

"Stepfather!"

"Indeed, you're back from school?"

"Yes."

"Counting the days, you should be thirteen this year, right? Your qi and blood are gradually filling out; it's time to start cultivating."

"So, have you decided which path to take? Nowadays the Four Gates and Six Paths method has become the mainstream, but the Golden Elixir method and others aren't entirely without benefits. Though not as powerful as the Four Gates and Six Paths, they win in longevity — cultivate to Golden Elixir, and you can match the Sixth Realm."

"Is the Four Gates and Six Paths the strongest path in the world today?"

"Correct. Not only is it the most powerful — a galloping horse can defeat a Golden Elixir — but cultivating to its peak can even give birth to the authority of heaven and earth, creating something from nothing!"

"I want to cultivate the Four Gates and Six Paths!"

"Mother, why are you like this?"

"Brother, no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"The Crucible is undying and indestructible, yet there remains a tribulation every three thousand years — weak and frail. Is there any way to avoid it and achieve true undying, indestructible, great transcendence?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the National Preceptor requests an audience."

"Your Majesty, the Entering Zhen Xiang leaves remnants, the dying dragon leaves residual consciousness. The Huaijiang Mirage Dragon has great abilities — exhales breath into towers, refines the false into the true — if it can gather the power of all beings' wishes —"

Clearly so long ago, thought it was forgotten completely clean.

In the end — still remembers so clearly.

The carriage jolted once again.

The smell of ink drifted out again.

A student yawned, stepped into the room, passed by his side, and reached out to push once more.

The Great Li Taizu leaned back to dodge.

"Huh?"

The student who had walked half his body length retreated back, continued reaching to push the head. The Great Li Taizu dodged again, the student pushed again.

The Great Li Taizu stared dead at him. The student, angered by the stare, flung his cloth bundle onto the desk, rolled up his sleeves, and suddenly saw the Great Li Taizu grab his sleeve, rise, and lunge at him.

The Great Li Taizu gripped the dagger tight, stabbed dead into the student's abdomen — there was the spleen; as long as it was injured —

His head dizzy once again, body out of control once again. He looked up; the stabbed student grinned, pushed his head again — once, twice, three times —

The student grew sharp canine teeth, swelling larger and taller, white hair sprouting on his body.

Intense fatigue surged up.

The Great Li Taizu forced his eyes open.

Classroom, students, ink smell — all gone. Around him, boundless void.

Still that — monkey.

"Roar!!!"

The roar rushed his face.

The Great Li Taizu's lips moved soundlessly.

"Dismantle —"

"What?" Bai Yuan tilted his head.

"Dismantle the Transforming Rainbow —"

"No spirit! Louder, I can't hear. Such a quiet voice, how can you open a warship!"

Bai Yuan pressed his palm against the ear, closer and closer. The Great Li Taizu still couldn't understand. He no longer tried to understand, aimed at the ear as it neared, and suddenly bit down.

"Crunch!"

Teeth collided, vision went black.

The white-haired large hand pressed on the Great Li Taizu's skull. Bai Yuan pinched the head with one hand, lifted it high, the whole person dangling and swaying.

Sneak attack bit empty air. The Great Li Taizu laughed.

Bai Yuan laughed along, then his throat bulged, and he suddenly opened his mouth wide.

"Ptooey!"

A big mouthful of saliva splattered on the Great Li Taizu's face.

"Die!!!"

Bai Yuan tossed him high with one hand. "Sure-kill, Ascending Dragon Sword!"

Buzzing in the ears, vision blurred.

Hearing incomprehensible words, the Great Li Taizu swayed, looking ahead, hair standing on end.

Bai Yuan reached out and grasped the void. The nine heavens and ten earths all trembled.

Pebbles jumped, ripples trembled, mud and sand rose from the ground. The Greater Huai-Jiang Marsh suddenly surged with waves, light on the water rising greatly.

The Straw Raincoat Old Man and Zhang Longxiang were both shocked.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

General Yuan spun around in anxiety. Soon he discovered the Poyang water level dropping rapidly.

How is that possible?

General Yuan was horrified.

The Poyang water level change is large, but how could it be so large that the riverbed is exposed at the center of the fourth month? What have those big shots been doing this past month? Weren't they said to be holding a Great Hunt?

All the sparrows under heaven flee.

Countless small fish, spirits, treasure fish fall to the ground. Soon, all water beasts discover in shock.

It's not drying up, not flowing backward — rather, the Huaijiang is flowing upward, toward the heavens!

A water pillar rushes into the sky, straight into the nine heavens!

General Yuan stared dumbfounded.

"The Huai King — it's the Huai King's method!" Zhang Longxiang recognized it at a glance. "Don't panic!"

Everyone calmed down a little, the rest were all shocked.

The million-li Huaijiang, Wuhu, water systems, tributaries — none failed to surge skyward!

Muscles twitched, pupils dilated and contracted.

"Ribbit!"

The old toad plopped down into the mire, the merfolk and dragonfolk crouched on the dry Dragon Palace square, all dazed.

In the void, the sun shone alone, light bursting forth in all directions.

The founding emperor of Great Li stared blankly, head tilted back.

Drawing all the water from under heaven, the water column knew no end, reflecting dazzling white light under the sun.

Huaijiang.

Is — this the vengeance of heaven and earth?

The founding emperor of Great Li thought.

Wanting to control everything, in the end, a madly galloping wild donkey, in the most unexpected way, brutally smashed through all.

"Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay heaven — this one lacks water, that one lacks water, heaven truly owes you all, damn it — "

Dragon Tiger Golden Body.

The water column suddenly transformed into radiant gold!

Bai Yuan leapt, roaring ferociously, fangs bared, embraced the surging water column spanning the universe, muscles tensed, and brought it down in a vertical cleave.

"So annoying!!!"

The radiant golden column seemed slow but was fast, sweeping a curved arc across the field of view.

The founding emperor of Great Li suddenly felt enlightened.

How formidable — this mad monkey.

Boom!

The void trembled.

Four figures collided with the radiant water column, the figures slowly dissipated, annihilated beneath the pestle.

The chest heaved violently.

Thud!

Bai Yuan flung the water column, descended from the heavens, Huaijiang pierced through the nine heavens from the void, returning to the earth.

As all under heaven were shocked, fearful, and fleeing in panic, the water column receded into the Huai River, flowed slowly, nourished silently without tremor, and refilled the main trunk and myriad vessels.

Looking down from above the nine heavens, it was as if watching water droplets fall from high altitude, capillary absorption.

The Marshal General floated back up in a daze.

Stars flickered with light.

The Dream Dynasty regurgitated the founding emperor of Great Li, Bai Yuan roared and lunged again.

A slap sent the founding emperor of Great Li's head flying, illusory and real shifting, the founding emperor of Great Li remained unmoving, Bai Yuan lunged forward and slapped two opponents, beating them to death twice.

The Dream Dynasty, like an automatic production line, produced and spat out the four immortals, then beat them to death twice.

No resistance.

"Playing dead?!" Bai Yuan raged, "You've tried to kill me for a month — go eat shit and drink piss!"

He grabbed the waistband, suddenly realized he had none, wore nothing, Bai Yuan kicked and broke the founding emperor of Great Li's jaw, opened the sluice to release water.

Splash splash splash — 【218】 Drip drip drip, soon overflowing.

Pattering, it quickly brimmed over.

"Playing dead or not? Playing dead or not? Still playing?"

He seized the brush, dragons flying, phoenixes dancing.

"I was here."

He carved four large characters.

"Playing dead or not?"

Unmoved.

He kicked again.

"Playing dead or not?"

Still unmoved.

Staggering back several steps, Bai Yuan dazedly realized the founding emperor of Great Li might truly have fainted.

"And, and — "

As if coming to his senses, Bai Yuan leapt, landed again on the Whale King's back, waved his arms, flailed wildly.

"You die too!"

"All must die!"

After beating the Whale King, then beating the founding emperor of Great Li, after beating the founding emperor of Great Li, then killing the Whale King again.

In the boundless void, filled with roaring, yet due to utter emptiness, it faded away, inaudible beyond several zhang.

The sun silently cast light, emitted heat.

Bai Yuan repeatedly grabbed, repeatedly roared.

Bai Yuan transformed into a Blood Ape, the Blood Ape scabbed over and became a Black Ape.

Exhilaratingly drenched, exhilaratingly drenched!

Exhilaratingly — 【240】 Drenched —

Drenched————

The void fell silent, everything quieting down.

No one answered anymore, no one reacted anymore.

Bai Yuan no longer roared, no longer spoke.

Crimson eyes, silently swinging fists — what authority, what divine abilities, none of it mattered; as long as He wished, one punch down was more useful than any authority!

Fresh blood sprayed, bones shattered.

Gradually————

Unknown how much time passed, Bai Yuan staggered back two steps.

Bewildered, empty.

Satisfying?

Very satisfying.

Like a piss held too long, no need to aim at the toilet, from high to low, no need to deliberately avoid splashing, hua-hua carefree in the fields by the road.

More than that, at a loss.

Clearly two people killed Him for over a month, pincer attack ten million times.

But when it came to Him, when it came to His revenge, why only two short days?

Why.

Why!?

"Isn't it————undying and indestructible————"

Arms stopped, the Dream Realm Wang Chao spat out Da Li Tai Zu again, unharmed.

The scattered white cloud body recombined.

"Plop!"

White clouds fluttered, slowly dissipating.

Bai Yuan fell onto the Whale Emperor's body, chest slowly rising and falling, eyes fading from red, losing focus.

Sunlight shone, blood scabs on fur slowly dried and fell off.

Endless darkness, Da Li Tai Zu's body drifting, the Whale Emperor's body also drifting.

Raising blood-covered palms, staring blankly.

The Heaven and Earth Treasury still expanding.

The River Lord's favor, granted Him the ability to distinguish threats by color.

Within sight, not a single brightly colored opponent remained, all gray-white.

He called out twice to Da Li Tai Zu and the Whale Emperor, no person, no beast answered.

Only dead silence and cold in the void, listen closely and you could hear blood flowing.

Gazing at dimmed stars in the endless darkness.

Five years.

East Sea Grand Hunt, Merfolk Tears, Dream Realm Wang Chao, Wu Zhiqi, Da Li Tai Zu, Whale Emperor, Mirage Dragon, Old Dragon Lord, Jin Wu——

"Over?"

Twenty years.

Mountain Ghost, Fire Bird, Old Master Zhao, Jian Zhongyi, Guimu Sect, Eight-Clawed King, North Court, South Frontier, Jade Qilin, Flood Dragon————

"All————over?"

Muttering to Himself.

Bai Yuan forced eyes wide, wanting to look ahead, but saw nothing, only darkness, not even stars.

On the road ahead, hazy and vague, nothing left, no mountains, no rivers.

Like Pangu splitting open, mountains and rivers beginning anew.

Unprecedented relaxation, unprecedented comfort.

Thick sense of security, like hot spring water wrapping the whole body, wrapping the spirit.

He, unrivaled under heaven?

Bai Yuan stunned, bared teeth in a grin.

Before long.

Satisfaction rapidly receded, emptiness surged up.

What to do next?

He didn't know.

Seemed like anything could be done next, yet also like nothing needed doing, even more like whatever was done held no meaning————

Netherworld, East Sea, two worlds, aftermath all needed handling, karmic fruit to be repaid repaid, headache just thinking about it, don't know if Chu King and Old Yi survived? What about Jin Wu? Everyone knows Bai Yuan's and my identity now, how will Yixing villagers see him? How will Big Rooster see it? Duck? Big Goose? Can we still happily be human? Or forget it all, get married first? Grand wedding! Extravagant waste! First go lie on Tai Cang Mountain? Or first eat a big meal, spring's here, river delicacies in season, must go check Huangzhou, fiercely manifest divinity, so so many things to explore————

"Hey!"

"Hehehe!"

Bai Yuan grinned, revealing canine teeth.

Over.

All over.

Time left too much, too much.

Things being so, might as well sleep first.

Then go————kitchen to fix some fries.

In the darkness, two points of Jin Guang dimmed and went out.

A low snore echoed in the void.

Suddenly.

The snoring stopped.

Remembering something, Bai Yuan opened his eyes again, sleepy and dazed as he lifted his head; he grabbed with both hands, scribbled and drew, waved his hand to send it off, then closed his eyes once more.

All sounds ceased.

In the sky, the azure river flowed silently.

On the earth, the Huaijiang likewise flowed eastward.

Everyone held their breath, tense and waiting; the very one who should have been most venerable and respected, most steady, the Straw Hat Old Man, was now unusually tense after a long time.

How many years has it been? Since the furnace, how many years without such a mood and feeling? He still finds it hard to believe, having thought that after the Whale Sovereign transformed into a rainbow, there would be no hope left, and after the Great Li, even more despair—who would have expected—

The thirty-three's transformation into a rainbow!

For ordinary people, reaching such an age, their cultivation nearing the Wolf Smoke stage already marks extraordinary talent and diligent effort; hunting tigers already makes one a dragon among men, and Entering Zhen Xiang is even more

the stature of a Yinglong, a heaven's chosen child—Yinglong—throughout ancient and modern times, the only hegemon, yet the result—

Having lived for several thousand years, he has truly never seen such a thing.

The azure sky completely covered everything; it has been a long time since there was any movement—how exactly is the situation?

Suddenly.

"Splash."

A note fluttered down slowly.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhang Longxiang, sharp-eyed and quick-handed, snatched it first—the Straw Hat Old Man, the Sacred Emperor, the Tribal Chief, the Sweat King, Ge Zu, Long Eying, Xu Shi—

Everyone gathered around.

"Gua, let me see, let me see!"

The old toad hopped and jumped, finally using his scepter to poke the legless frog's buttocks, stepping on the legless frog's head to look down from above.

Airtight, no light at all.

Fortunately, the furnace allows sight even without light; Zhang Longxiang read word by word, pausing, speaking aloud: "This place————has a magnificent view?"

Everyone stared at each other.

"Wait, there's more writing on the back!" Ge Zu reminded.

Zhang Longxiang flipped the paper over.

"What did Liang Qing write?" the old toad urged.

"Yes, what did the Huai King write?"
