Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

He still bore that same strange appearance.

The upper half was an ancient bride clad in a bright red wedding dress; her eyes and face could not be seen, only the corners of her mouth curved in a strange smile.

The lower half was a centipede body, densely packed and several zhang long, its body covered in black patterns, the oozing mucus dripping into the water curtain and instantly merging into the Xuan River water.

At this moment, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu was soaking in the black water, refining the Xuan River water with all its might.

Within the water curtain, countless tiny parasitic worms shuttled back and forth, continuously transmitting water spiritual energy and water laws into its body.

It could be seen that it was only one step away from completely refining the Xuan River water.

It had even reached the point of preliminary control over the water origin; with a wave of its hand or a stamp of its foot, it could mobilize the water spiritual energy of this entire district.

Hearing the movement, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu turned its head, invisible divine sense sweeping over Xu Zhangqing and the others, and then a slightly hoarse voice rang out: "Unexpectedly, you actually managed to find this place.

A group of ants, yet you dare disturb my refining of the Xuan River water — simply courting death!"

Finished speaking, it raised its hand slightly; the black water curtain surged violently like boiling water, water laws operating frantically, the water spiritual energy of the entire space instantly sucked dry, countless Xuan River waters condensing into dense black water arrows suspended in mid-air.

The arrow tips swallowed and released cold light, emitting a bone-piercing chill capable of freezing and cracking the divine soul.

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly warned: "Everyone, be careful!"

At this time, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu spoke again, its voice like ten-thousand-year-old ice grinding: "Xu Zhangqing, I originally wanted to finish refining the Xuan River water, grasp the water origin, then go to the Qingmu Sect to settle accounts with you.

Since you've delivered yourselves to my door today, then let you and these ants all become nourishment for my nurturing of black water!"

As the words fell, it violently waved its hand.

In an instant, countless black water arrows tore through the long sky, carrying sharp, ear-piercing sonic booms, shooting violently toward the crowd in a sky-covering, earth-blanketing barrage.

Not only that, the water laws grew ever more fierce; the entire Xuan River roared madly, the river surface exploding into dozens of zhang-high water pillars, and after the pillars shattered, dozens of pitch-black Black Water Xuan Snakes condensed from within.

Each one was ten zhang long, eyes blood-red, spitting black poison liquid from their mouths.

The poison liquid splashed onto the ground, instantly corroding bottomless charred caves, the stench foul and assaulting the nose.

"Be careful!"

Xu Zhangqing's expression turned grave as he explained: "The Xuan River water is Primordial Heavy Water, containing the power of corrosion — touch it and it corrodes, even magic treasures can be eroded!"

Before his voice fell, the black water arrows had arrived; several cultivators couldn't dodge in time, their protective spiritual light pierced like paper, and the instant the water arrows struck their flesh bodies, clothing and flesh melted into black water, revealing white bones, and then the white bones turned to nothing in the span of a breath.

Immediately, miserable screams rang out; in just a short moment, three Nascent Soul cultivators turned into puddles of black water, not even their Nascent Souls escaping, utterly destroyed in body and spirit.

The rest, seeing this, were all horrified and pale, frantically operating their own law powers and Dao rhymes, desperately blocking the attacks of the black water arrows and Black Water Xuan Snakes.

But the water origin contained in the Primordial Heavy Water was too vicious; it could not only corrode all things, but also interfere with the absorption of spiritual energy, and even invisibly suppress cultivators' cultivation bases.

Everyone only felt their magic power operating more and more sluggishly, as if mired in a swamp, their meridians seemingly filled with heavy black water, their magic treasures corroded by the Primordial Heavy Water until riddled with holes, wailing incessantly, spiritual light dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, quite a few people were splashed by the poison liquid spat by the Black Water Xuan Snakes; wounds instantly festered and blackened, rotting flesh curling, white bones visible.

Then, black qi spread wildly along their meridians; those hit all suffered surging qi and blood, their combat strength plummeting one by one.

Xu Zhangqing instructed: "Qingyao, you stay with Xiyao, do not act rashly!"

Qingyao's pretty face was pale, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master!"

At the same time, Xu Zhangqing rose into the air, yellow-brown spiritual light exploding around him, the brilliance like a blazing sun, illuminating the gloomy space until it was bright.

The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron floated above his head; the ancient patterns on the cauldron body now seemed to come alive, flowing, emitting vast, majestic earth laws and the Tu Soil God's origin power.

The two powers fused into a heavy barrier, protecting the crowd behind him, forcibly blocking the sky-full of water arrows and the Black Water Xuan Snakes' frantic attacks.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu froze for a moment, then shock and anger intertwined: "Tu Soil God's power?!"

"Tu Soil as foundation, Xuanhuang as shield — break!"

Xu Zhangqing let out a low shout, a wisp of magic power gathering at his fingertip, heavily tapping the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron.

In an instant, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron erupted with an earth-shaking boom, as if the earth sleeping for ten thousand ages had been awakened; countless yellow-brown spiritual lights poured down like a waterfall, earth laws and the Tu Soil God's origin power intertwining into a cosmic tide, then colliding head-on with the black tide condensed from Primordial Heavy Water.

Boom!!!

This collision was simply heaven-collapsing, earth-splitting.

The black water curtain and yellow-brown spiritual light mutually eroded, stirring up sky-full water mist and law turbulence, shockwaves sweeping all directions, the entire Yaoguang Cave trembling violently.

For a time the earth shook and mountains swayed, rock walls collapsing and falling in large pieces, millstone-sized rubble crashing down like a rainstorm, space torn open by the two terrifying forces into ferocious cracks.

Pitch-black spatial cracks devoured everything around them, chaotic currents howling out.

At this moment, law power was completely in chaos.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes were deep and calm; the Tu Soil power around him condensed to the extreme, as if he had become the earth itself, law power operating frantically, heavy earth qi bursting from the ground below, like countless yellow dragons twisting toward the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, attempting to restrain its figure while simultaneously shielding the Xuan River water.

"Foolish!"

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu, enraged, laughed instead, its laughter sharp and piercing.

Its lower half's thousands of legs danced wildly, controlling dozens of Black Water Xuan Snakes to merge into a black cosmic tide, then charging toward Xu Zhangqing with a momentum to crush everything; wherever it passed, solid rock strata and ground were corroded into nothingness, even the air corroded into pungent white smoke.

However, Xu Zhangqing had the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron guarding him; this false immortal artifact carrying the earth's will erupted with the power to suppress all evil; the Black Water Xuan Snakes had just drawn near when they shrieked and collapsed under the crushing pressure of the law power heavy to the extreme.

The entire black cosmic tide was ruthlessly torn apart by the yellow-brown spiritual light, dispersing into sky-full black qi.

Xuanhuang Great Hand Seal!

Taking advantage of this opening, Xu Zhangqing struck out with a palm.

Boundless earth qi frantically gathered from all directions into his palm, condensing into a giant palm seal that could cover the sky and blot out the sun; on the palm seal, the Tu Soil God's origin power and earth laws roamed like dragons and snakes, carrying vast, majestic might, descending upon the Wu Sheng Chong Mu's head.

Where the palm seal passed, space collapsed inch by inch, presenting glass-shattering patterns, even the invisible water laws forcibly twisted.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu's expression changed drastically, no longer daring the slightest contempt; its lower centipede body suddenly swelled and writhed, water laws operated to the extreme, surrounding black water boiling, then condensing into a black giant saber dozens of zhang long.

On the saber body, black water flowed like a waterfall.

Before the saber qi even emerged, the ground had already split open into a thousand-zhang ravine.

"Go die!"

Afterward, it let out a shrill, piercing shriek, swung its giant saber, and hacked fiercely toward Xu Zhangqing's Xuanhuang Great Hand Seal.

The saber light tore through space, bringing forth a hundred-zhang-long crack.

Clang!

The palm seal and the long saber collided, producing a thunderous boom that made everyone's divine souls shake.

Yellow-brown and pitch-black, these two utterly different law powers formed a law storm, exploding outward from the point of impact and sweeping in all directions.

Wherever it passed, all things were annihilated.

The entire core area of Yaoguang Cave was leveled to the ground by this single strike!
