Chapter 167: Thunder and Fire Forge the Sword

"Wow, it's sweet potato pot pot, sweet potato pot pot…"

Dou Dou, who had been hiding in her mother's arms due to the wind and thunder, now broke free and ran to the window, clinging to the sill and stretching her neck as far as she could toward the sky.

A rainbow stretched across the northern and southern sky, and the dark clouds had been split open by a massive gash.

Along the edges of the clouds, lightning surged, dyeing the sky in dazzling hues, the entire world beautiful as if within a dream.

"What promise?" Zou Li was startled—he knew the greatest distinction between immortals and mortals was that promises must not be made lightly.

Dong Huang Taiyi, during the War of the Wu and Yao, exploded alongside the Ancestral Wu, his body reduced to ashes, his primordial spirit gone; but because his death came too suddenly, the thread of true spirit within the Chaos Bell had not yet escaped, and through the primordial power of the Chaos Bell, it had been preserved for countless eons.

Nothing can escape his brushing, nothing can resist his assimilation—Kong Xuan was undoubtedly a monstrous existence, though Kong Xuan had not yet fully possessed this ability. For instance, now, Yuan Shi Tian Zun's arrow, though gradually fading within Kong Xuan's Five-Color Divine Light.

Xi Sa hurried to stand aside with the others; as Chen Wang passed, his eyes, clearly suppressing fury, glared bitterly at Xi Sa's face before he walked off in silence. Xi Sa knew that if not for Bai Moge's presence, he would have already ordered his arrest or beaten him out with clubs—he could not linger nearby and withdrew quickly.

"Boom!" Centered on Zou Li, the yellow cloud erupted again, expanding more than several times its size, tightly wrapping the Wood Primordial Source; whether intentional or not, it precisely entangled the Wood Primordial Source with Zou Li.

Suddenly, it sensed: this barbarian was merely playing with it. The greater pain was humiliation, not bodily harm—it didn't even equal one ten-thousandth of the earlier qi explosion.

"Got it—I'll shake the Mansion Token of the Celestial Vessel. The token contains my father's primordial spirit; naturally, he'll know something has gone wrong here." After pondering for a moment, seeing the others' expressions, the Dragon King did not explain further, only ordered heightened vigilance, then went alone to the back courtyard.

Some always believe they can bear all suffering, even when they know the choice before them is excruciating, yet they still insist on making it. He believes he can endure it, must endure it—only by enduring is he strong, only by enduring does he grow.

"Friend, do not act rashly." After taking two steps, he was stopped by Jin Mu Yuan Jun; the two Xiwangmu exchanged bitter smiles—they both knew Yuan Yin Di Di's primordial nature held only a single thread of killing intent, and he always acted this way.

She did not continue, for to do so might seem disrespectful to the elderly man who had spent his life wise and majestic.

Thinking of how he used to exhaust himself dragging back one bird at a time, only occasionally finding a few eggs by luck, Li Si Nian felt like crying more and more. Looking at Li Chu Yi, his face was full of envy and jealousy.

Each generation of the martial world produces its own talents, each dominating for two or three years. Ten years ago was already ten years ago. Heroes always emerge young; the old waves crash dead on the shore. Meng Yi Lang, encountering the even wilder Long Ming, could only be crushed dead on the shore.

Zhao Yun immediately sent someone to fetch Xinye City's household registers and maps, giving Zhang Ren a general overview of Xinye City's current situation.

The Deep Sea King appeared, a certain Buddha's reincarnation awoke, the Master of Celestial Mechanism ascended beyond the boundary… until the two controllers of Xuan Huang Star emerged.

In a row of distant buildings, lights blazed brightly; along a long table, dish after dish of delicious food was laid out.

At this time, opposite Cao's army, the Sun-Liu alliance was stationed at Xiakou, far apart from Cao's forces.

Shen Feng Ge thought he had already grown strong; today, he finally realized there were heavens beyond heavens, towers beyond towers. With this single sword strike, Shen Feng Ge was grievously wounded.

"Don't believe me? Go outside and see." Zhao Yishan performed a technique to cleanse the blood from his body, face, and hair.
