Chapter 855

Stepping through time and ages, traversing past, present, and future, from the source of history to the era after myriad ages, this figure is the tangible manifestation of the supreme and ultimate power!

He broke Nüwa's statutes, stormed into the most sacred hall where the Ancestral Wu convened, treated Houtu's painstakingly crafted private realm as nonexistent, and directly paid a visit.

Those who come are not kind; the kind do not come.

This guest arrived at the summons of Di Jiang Zu Wu, never having consulted the host, clearly not coming to reason calmly.

"Fuxi!"

The next moment, Houtu let out a violent shout, shattering the vast expanse of time and space!

Boundless rage burned and swept, sweeping across the Myriad Heavens through eternity!

In an instant, she perceived the identity of the one who had descended.

"Good! Good! Good!"

She laughed furiously, having understood something: "Is this the daring courage you have to defy me?"

"You think that even if I attain the Dao as Pangu, I would still lose in my contest with him, so you make the so-called 'wise' choice?!"

"Fuxi's blade is sharp; is my sword not sharp enough?!"

She was very angry, very furious, wanting to kill something as a sacrifice to heaven, so as to quell her fury.

From Houtu's body now emanated world-shaking ripples, igniting a towering radiance.

Except for the Xuanming Ancestral Wu, who remains protected and unharmed…… the other Ancestral Wu have long been fugitives in all directions, each fleeing, yielding the battlefield.

Obviously, no one here wants to test Houtu's fists to see if a single punch could fell an Ancestral Wu— they're all contemptible younger brothers.

Only that vague figure that descended in response remained standing calmly in place, regarding Houtu's divine might as a gentle breeze on the face.

"It is quite evident; indeed so."

He seems to think the matter isn't big enough, and is actively adding fuel to the fire.

"You are not as good as I."

"So do not force your comrades to board a ship doomed to sink……"

"They merely seek survival."

"If blame is to be assigned, it can only be your own lack of strength."

Fuxi spoke leisurely, "The foundation of the Wu Clan's existence is built upon my essence and blood; thus their success and failure are likewise…… these Ancestral Wu are innately indebted to me in karma, debt must be repaid— it is natural and just."

"If you could lead them to successfully default on their debt, perhaps they would grit their teeth and follow you, killing me the creditor and wiping out the debt…… but who let you fall short?"

"Little Nüwa."

"Accept your fate."

"Accept fate?!" Houtu the Ancestral Wu, as if hearing some ridiculous joke, burst out laughing.

However, there was not a trace of mirth in that laughter.

"I know you have always been unwilling to submit." Fuxi said lightly, "So I give you an opportunity to grow and prove the Dao as Pangu."

He has great ambition, not caring how high Nüwa may rise, using that to challenge him.

Fuxi's gaze was somewhat vague, "I have indulged you many times, many times……"

"Let's not speak of past events; you had a nest of property, yet you failed so thoroughly."

"Now this Wu Clan, you think you could attract so many great supernatural beings to join, becoming one of the Wu Clan Ancestral Wu, merely because of your hegemonic aura?"

"Wrong……"

"Indeed, you possess great divine charm, drawing many ancient gods to follow…… but that usually extends only to those below the rank of great supernatural beings."

"Those who hope to reach higher realms each have their own interests and trade-offs in mind, weighing pros and cons."

"In short."

"Nüwa enjoys great popularity among the ordinary Golden Immortals, but once among the top three of Honghuang…… it becomes somewhat mysterious."

"Perhaps it is not the key issue; everyone is willing to give face."

"But when it comes to decisions concerning one's own life and death and future path, it is hard to maintain one's stance."

"Like the Dragon Ancestor, Dragon Ancestor."

"He respects Nüwa and also joined the Wu Clan…… but in the end, they are not on the same path."

"You could gain so much support only because I arranged it behind the scenes."

"You think Di Jiang Zu Wu is a traitor?"

"Little do you know, within the Wu Clan, it is you who is the oddball that doesn't fit in!"

"A referendum? A vote? Nothing but a joke."

Fuxi's expression remained calm.

"The slogan the Wu Clan shouts is loud, firmly upholding the spirit of Pangu…… hey! In the end, this is not mere empty talk."

"Just a return to reality."

"In the past, relying on Pangu's legacy, the Wu Clan endured the most difficult period, receiving the protection of the Human Dao under the Heavenly Dao's watchful gaze, preserving life and vitality…… now, returning to the source and restoring order, back under my control, Houtu you too should accept reality."

"All gifts of fate have already had their price written behind the scenes."

"You are merely a laborer, yet you dare to dream of being the master?"

"Considering you are my sister, I give you this opportunity." Fuxi's expression cold, "I will let you succeed as Pangu."

"But after you succeed, I will then suppress you!"

"Let you become utterly clear, understanding that you ultimately fall short of me by a hair!"

"So as to spare you endless clamor later, feeling resentful, thinking I rely on strength to bully you."

"Your scheming is inferior to mine, your strength inferior to mine…… how dare you covet divine artifacts and gaze upon the family throne?!"

"Everyone sees it clearly; only you fail to grasp your own weight!"

Fuxi's tone was indifferent, his voice resonant, shaking past, present, future, and the three realms and six paths.

He exposed all kinds of secrets, his words hurting people—he could accuse their hearts.

Houtu heard the words, clenched her fists, her whole body endless brilliant divine light, her source the Great Dao blossoming, transforming into the supreme level of Pangu.

Time and space could not become barriers; in a haze, there was no separation between past, present, and future—everything was the present.

She saw Fuxi's actions clearly.

As the vote expelled Emperor Jiang's obstruction, the River Chart and Luo Book that should have been in hand were also snatched away by another Fuxi's silhouette.

Surprised?

Unexpected?

All of this unfolded before Nüwa.

Having defeated Hongjun, succeeded in defying heaven with high spirits, how could Nüwa endure such betrayal, such... arrogant looking down?!

Nüwa must not be insulted!

Boom!

In an instant burst, at this moment divine might like a prison, Houtu raised one hand, clenched her fist, and blasted forth with a boom.

"Fuxi! I've tolerated you for a long time!"

Boom!

The fist-light blazing, possessing the power to create infinity, breaking eternity, penetrating myriad ages, the towering surges surging through each era, becoming an immortal legend.

In a haze, ancient and modern all collapsing, as if the Honghuang universe were to be overturned, myriad immortals falling, myriad gods perishing... becoming the most terrifying great destruction.

From today onward, Nüwa personally refreshed the world's view of her combat prowess—just how strong she is!

Because the other side of creation and reincarnation is precisely destruction.

Whether creation or reincarnation, they are often new things that replace the old, galloping and soaring on the stage of the ages.

This looks flourishing, very beautiful.

However...

Those old people and things, buried beneath the wheels of time... how is this not a most merciless destruction?!

Nüwa directed all of this.

At every moment, creation and change, creating myriad things, also equals slaughtering myriad, destroying all of the past.

Therefore, she is both the greatest benevolent creator and lord of reincarnation, yet she can also become the most terrifying god of destruction.

The Dao has no good or evil.

It depends only on how the lord of the Dao uses it.

Just like the demon ancestor Rahu.

He once oversaw destruction, is the symbol of the universe's negative force.

But must he necessarily be evil?

Of course not.

Look at now: he devoted himself body and soul, died thereafter, merged with the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, for the great undertaking of standing up for humanity's myriad beings, he made an indelible contribution.

Also like the demon ancestor of the River of Darkness, who established the Dao through slaughter; beneath the primordial slaughter of Avici, endless wailing souls... but these souls are all guilty.

The River of Darkness restrained the temptation of wanton slaughter, fulfilled its duty, turned into a relatively just blade in the Honghuang heavens and earth, slaying only those who violated the human course and destroyed heavenly-earthly stability, thereby honing the Dao of slaughter.

Even as a demon ancestor, he also accumulated boundless merit.

Good? Evil?

They can no longer be confined to the Great Luo, for their existence is a supplement to the cosmic rules and order, an indispensable part of Honghuang and humanity.

Thus, when they are good, they are auspicious blessings of heaven and earth; when they are evil, they are the malignant tumors and chief calamities of the universe.

The stronger they are, the more divine their goodness, the more demonic their evil.

When Nüwa now shows she stands on the threshold of achieving the Dao, leaping beyond Pangu, having overturned creation and twisted reincarnation, she becomes the supreme terrifying lord of destruction, capable of annihilating all tangible things in Honghuang, burying them in nothingness.

Let only the concept of "Honghuang" remain in the world, turning the Great Dao's laws through the endless ages, to be reborn anew.

Honghuang is indestructible!

This is a Pangu.

Of course, even so, one can know Nüwa's might at this moment, the supreme combat power she possesses.

However, Nüwa is restrained.

After all, Honghuang has come this far over many years, she has poured too much heart and blood into it.

All destructive slaughtering power has been condensed to the extreme; outwardly it is merely the sensation of the Heaven-Earth Great Dao.

Under the world-shaking fist-light, she wants to smash the dog-head of the heaven-descended Fuxi!

Not just one place, not just one moment's campaign.

The place of the Ancestral Witches' vote...

The spacetime of Kunpeng presenting treasure...

The early ages of the epoch...

All have Nüwa's advance!

In her fury, she truly stepped over a boundless heavenly moat, the supreme divine aura filling the most ancient Chaos epoch—

She has proven the Dao as Pangu!

She proves to Chaos, proves to Heaven and Earth, proves to the ages, proves to humanity...

The supreme might pours down from the source of ancient history, continually spreading toward one era after another, composing Nüwa's myth, chanted by the Myriad Heavens, humanity in harmony, praying for the ascent of the Nüwa Emperor.

However, at the time of ascent, it is also a moment of slaughter.

The new and old Pangu directly erupted in the ultimate showdown!

Nüwa takes the initiative to strike, wanting to overturn this mortal chessboard, break Fuxi's mortal shackles, to behold myriad blue mountains.

Good!

Fuxi gave a cheer, "It's somewhat interesting."

Unfortunately... still not enough!

In the next moment, an axe-light sliced through eternity.

Descending from the moment heaven was opened and earth split, this is both the foundation stone that established Honghuang and likewise the countermeasure of the August Emperor who opened heaven and earth, facing challenges from all latercomers!

Honghuang was opened, order was determined, the era……was cut.

All latercomers, proving the Dao by standing on Honghuang's shoulders, compared to the initial pioneers, have lessened somewhat the difficulty of opening the way—though correspondingly, the competition among the gods has become even fiercer.

However, karma is already entwined; at this moment the Great Dao is like a net, heaven and earth overturn, the era repeats, like drawing silk from a cocoon, the axe-light turns into a gentle wrap around the finger, entwining upon all the traces of Nüwa's earthly existence.

Except for human intervention, it is a great karma hard to dispel for now—for example, the Houtu squatting in the underworld, the girl abducted by Di Hong, and the remaining Wa who acted against Fuxi's Dao traces—almost all have been locked on, as the August Emperor drew from the Suiyue Changhe an infinite net of the Great Dao, netting her this fish and dragging it onto the battlefield of the Chaos Era!

Such divine power, supreme and unfathomable, yet strange and inscrutable.

Both being Pangu, the August Emperor seems to have the edge!

Come on!

Our battlefield!

Let us decide victory and defeat!

See whether you, this Novice, surpass me, this old fogey, or whether everything remains as before, an unalterable fate!

The ancient, vicissitudinous divine echo resounds in Chaos.

The August Emperor Heavenly Emperor, holding the chessboard through myriad ages, overlooking the epochs, was originally the image of one who plans strategies and secures victory for thousands of autumns.

But at this moment, it has transformed into the most powerful, terrifying, supreme ancient god!

A supreme "Pangu demon god", wielding the divine axe that opened heaven, has stepped over the mountain of corpses and sea of blood forged by the three thousand Chaos demon gods, standing therein, gazing upon the turning of epochs.

This is a special scene, already buried.

Existing in the void's birth and death, it is a memory that Honghuang heaven and earth have all forgotten beneath the dust of ages.

Even when Nüwa conquered Hongjun and swept across the Chaos battlefield, it was never seen again.

However, when Fuxi sought to debate the Dao with Nüwa to determine superiority, it quietly emerged, pressing into Nüwa's regime and splitting the momentum of Chaos.

Two Pangu beings meet face to face, to decide victory!

This is a destined event to be etched in history, an unbelievable great event!

Pangu, it's too hard to achieve.

Usually, the rise and fall of an era can produce only one person, a supreme being surpassing the three thousand Great Luo!

Each Pangu embodies the splendid essence of an era of Honghuang, a fusion of all wisdom's crystals.

One person alone is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of Honghuang!

Will a battle erupt between them?

Hard to imagine!

Moreover, these two Pangu beings here are even more extraordinary.

One, is Nüwa who fashions creation and improves reincarnation, also contends with the Heavenly Dao and suppresses the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, thereby achieving ultimate sublimation!

The other, is the August Emperor who in ancient times opened heaven and earth to create Honghuang, established humanity, and slew the three thousand Chaos demon gods, ultimately leaping to open heaven and earth!

Each is at the peak of their exalted state in life, the radiant glory after a bloody battle, with essence, energy, and spirit reaching the utmost!

"I will surely win!" The myriad manifestations of Nüwa unite as one, her mighty posture shattering past and present, as if myriad Dao cease to exist, she alone is the sole truth.

"You are too overconfident, too arrogant." Fuxi, whose axe in hand is bloody, murmured, "It's understandable; a moment's success makes it easy to forget oneself."

"Fuxi!" Nüwa shouted, "You once beat me temporarily, but do you think you can beat me forever?"

A flicker of strange light flashed in her eyes, then vanished instantly, as if she had never harbored any ulterior motive from beginning to end.

"This time, I will surely win!"

"The era has changed!"

Nüwa said as such.

"Is that so? Emotionally I look forward to seeing the sister raised like a daughter finally come into her own, grow up, and be able to stand on her own—I would feel gratified." The August Emperor said calmly, "But reason tells me, you cannot."

"We are both Pangu; wanting to decide victory by single combat is not easy."

"However, when you are restrained by me, in the game of Honghuang you will suffer a crushing defeat."

"By then, nothing will be certain."

The August Emperor looked at Nüwa with a smile, his wisdom and scheming a level above: "Time passes, moments flow; I can await allies—what can you await?"

"Silly Nüwa, you've taken the bait!"
