Chapter 36: Unable to Stop
However, at this moment, the great cauldron that exudes the mother Qi of all things and the Donghuang Bell were evenly matched, hard to determine a winner.
Inside the Chaos Nüwa Palace, Nüwa widened her eyes, unable to believe what she saw.
The power of this man and woman exceeded her imagination.
All of this seemed unreasonable, even impossible to occur.
Now the innate Human Race is nearly extinct, and the acquired Human Race could never reach such a high realm.
Becoming a Quasi Saint is even more impossible within such a short time.
"This is impossible. Could it be that the Human Race was abandoned back then?"
"No. I created the Human Race; how could I not know?"
Nüwa's heart was full of doubt and self‑questioning; it was the first time she had such a strong doubt about her own decision.
What exactly did she do, and how were those humans dealt with?
Upon careful recollection, the memories became hazy.
The appearance of Hen Ren was already shocking enough, and with Zhou Yi's arrival, the entire Honghuang boiled instantly.
From a top combat standpoint, the Human Race has clearly become the third major force in Honghuang.
In this respect, they are no longer inferior to other races, and this shift poses a huge threat to all factions.
"We must eliminate the two of them; otherwise the Human Race will be a major hidden danger."
Di Qu's expression turned solemn, he stepped forward, and the Luohu Diagram began to spin wildly, the surrounding laws being pulled and fixed by a massive force.
Then heaven and earth reversed, laying a massive formation centered on the Luohu Diagram, intending to utterly erase the two.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi waved his hand, activating the Dou Character Technique; this time he released the Purple Sky Divine Thunder from his hand.
The moment the Purple Sky Divine Thunder appeared, every Saint sensed that familiar yet terrifying aura, casting incredulous glances.
Even Tongtian Jiaozhu was stunned, because such power has always been wielded only by Saints.
Why could this person so effortlessly wield that power under everyone's watchful eyes?
If anyone had previously claimed that someone beneath a Saint could use the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, everyone would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But now, this incredible scene unfolds right before their eyes.
"Where did you learn this ability?" Hen Ren asked, knowing Zhou Yi could never possess such a technique. The only possibility was that he acquired it after arriving in this world.
"For instance, when I first arrived, I was ambushed by an eye that used this. My skin is tough, so I survived and simply copied its ability," Zhou Yi explained with a grin.
The formation that had been operating normally faded instantly under the impact of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder; the Luohu Diagram seemed grasped by an invisible hand, halted, its brilliance gradually fading.
Di Qu's complexion tightened; he hurriedly cast a spell to pull the Luohu Diagram back, silently speculating that there must be a major hidden truth.
Seizing the moment of everyone's shock, Zhou Yi and Hen Ren acted swiftly.
Zhou Yi leapt high, stood on the Mother Qi Cauldron and pressed down forcefully, and the Donghuang Bell immediately plummeted.
Taiyi's expression changed dramatically, and he hurried forward to stabilize the situation.
At the same time, Hen Ren appeared before Di Qu, pointed a finger, and a celestial light shot toward Di Qu like lightning.
Di Qu dared not meet it head‑on, dodging left and right, and countered with Great Sun True Fire, barely deflecting the attack.
"Kunpeng, take this; if you don't die, come help!" Di Qu tossed a precious pill. Kunpeng swallowed it without hesitation, instantly feeling a surge of power flood his body, all previous injuries healed.
Although his left arm still felt uneasy, it was enough to join the battle.
He said nothing, accelerated the law surrounding his body, not only strengthening himself but also supporting the other two.
"Go help my brother; you don't need to worry about this place!" Taiyi shouted, boosting his own magical output, golden sparks flashing around his body, clashing fiercely with the Mother Qi Cauldron.
Zhou Yi's gaze grew serious, realizing that even on the Zhetian Continent the enemy before him would be a top‑tier being, worthy of his full effort.
And Kunpeng rushed toward Hen Ren without hesitation, "Last time I lost to you, today I'll turn the tide!"
Kunpeng let out a deafening roar.
The previously tense three‑versus‑two battle suddenly stalled, both sides locked in a stalemate. The conflict between the Wu Clan and their opponents grew abnormally fierce, hard to resolve.
Di Jiang's eyes flashed with cunning, quickly calculating how to exploit the current situation for his own gain.
If he could strike while Taiyi and Di Qu were both wounded, he might heavily damage or even slay one of them, thereby ending the Wu‑zombie War early.
Having made up his mind, Di Jiang tore the space open without hesitation, his form flashing away before everyone's eyes. Hou Tu and the others could only watch in astonishment, unable to stop it.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Yi's ears, and his momentum surged dramatically like a volcanic eruption.
The system merged the summoned strongman's power, converting it entirely into Zhou Yi's strength.
With Hen Ren and Zhou Yi's appearance, Zhou Yi silently advanced to the mid‑Quasi Saint stage.
In the sky, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao slowly materialized, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder striking Zhou Yi in succession, evidently the Heavenly Dao's anger at his rapid rise, deeming it a disruption of the Vast Wilderness World's balance.
Shi Hao and the others hadn't time to react before Zhou Yi waved them away. Facing the surging thunder tribulation, Zhou Yi showed no fear, charging straight into the thunderclouds. "Again!" he shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Zhou Yi entered a marvelous exhilarated state, actively absorbing the Purple Sky Divine Thunder through his thunder‑path vision.
Back when Zhou Yi first unleashed the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, he had already recognized this opportunity to boost his combat power.
"Bad!" the aura of Zhou Yi's breakthrough threatened Kunpeng and the others greatly.
Kunpeng immediately abandoned his clash with Hen Ren, knowing he must stop Zhou Yi.
Seeing this, Hen Ren drew his long sword, single‑handedly confronting the two and successfully holding them back.
Di Qu, disregarding everything, surged forward, allowing the long sword to pierce his shoulder to restrict the opponent's movement. Kunpeng seized the chance, also diving into the thunderclouds, attempting to disrupt the thunder tribulation with his magic.
However, at that instant, a massive hand suddenly shot out, gripping Kunpeng's wrist tightly.
"You're looking for me."
Hearing this, Kunpeng was startled, exerting all his strength to break free, but the hand was as hard as steel, unmoving.
No matter how he struggled, he could not escape the iron‑clad restraint.
Gradually, the dark clouds began to disperse slowly, as if torn apart by the invisible massive hand.
Zhou Yi's figure gradually emerged, his aura surging like a tide, spreading across heaven and earth. Taiyi and Di Qu, seeing this, wore solemn expressions, scrutinizing the Human Race closely.
His strength increased so rapidly it was almost unbelievable, like a rocket soaring upward. When we first met, he seemed so tiny and fragile, unable to withstand a single blow.
When we met again, he already possessed impressive combat power; and now he is so strong he can clash with them directly. This change exceeds everyone's imagination.
