Chapter 1089: The Wind That Broke the Immortal Boundary: Feng Baiyu

"Ah! Ah! Ah! How is this possible?"

Within Fang Yu's body, Xu Yuan Wuzui, the supreme master of the fourth realm of Longevity—Zhou Tian—and the Supreme Elder of Zumashen Sect, let out a roar of fury, but even his roar could not escape.

"Damn it, damn it! How could you possibly be my opponent!"

Xu Yuan Wuzui's physical body was already shattered, and even his Cave Heaven World had been violently ruptured by the immense force; within his Cave Heaven, fractured temporal and spatial plates now littered everywhere, and the countless lifeforms he had nurtured there suffered fatal damage instantly.

But Xu Yuan Wuzui refused to yield—he desperately spun the fragments of his Time Law, those countless fragments striving to coalesce into a crystal representing Time itself, spinning wildly as if attempting to repair his shattered Cave Heaven World.

"Xu Yuan Wuzui, you, a Supreme Elder of the fourth Longevity realm, Zhou Tian, have cultivated only eight hundred Ancient Celestial Dragon Forces—what use are even more Time Law fragments?"

Fang Yu's voice echoed through the void; his Cave Heaven merely twisted slightly, and Xu Yuan Wuzui within it was twisted again, terrifying power surging into his body, causing him to explode once more.

The perfectly formed Space Law crystal within his Cave Heaven, and the Time Law crystal composed of over a thousand fragments, were directly snatched out by Fang Yu's hand.

All of Xu Yuan Wuzui's protective magic treasures—mid-grade Dao artifacts, treasures within his treasure pouch, even his mid-grade Dao artifact robes—were seized outright by Fang Yu.

Crushed.

Utterly crushed.

Fang Yu, with his absolute dominance, crushed this giant of the fourth Longevity realm, Zhou Tian; at this moment, the myriad essences within Xu Yuan Wuzui's body flowed continuously into the body of the Eight-Story Pagoda, and all his techniques were plundered by Fang Yu.

The supreme secret art of Zumashen Sect, Zu Ma Ancient God Qi, which Xu Yuan Wuzui had mastered, was now understood by Fang Yu.

A total of fifty-six supreme techniques, eighteen great techniques, and several Great Dao techniques were all plundered by Fang Yu.

Before Fang Yu, Xu Yuan Wuzui had barely managed to resist once—after that, he had no strength left to resist at all.

He could only watch helplessly as everything he possessed was taken by Fang Yu, until he finally perished utterly.

"Not even a single High-Grade Dao artifact? How dare you call yourself a Supreme Elder of Zumashen Sect? How dare you act boldly before me? You're a disgrace."

After directly crushing this Supreme Elder to death, Fang Yu discovered that this master who had cultivated to the fourth Longevity realm, Zhou Tian, possessed not a single High-Grade Dao artifact; the most valuable items were merely several mid-grade Dao artifacts. At the fourth Longevity realm, he had no High-Grade Dao artifact—clearly, his fortune was poor.

Hong Hong Tianjing possessed one High-Grade Dao artifact: the Tuoluo Sutra Banner.

Fang Yu himself had acquired far too many High-Grade Dao artifacts—such as the Emperor Shì Scepter, the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, the Great Chaos Thunder Sword, the Fire God Furnace, the Water-Fire Chaos Staff, the Treasure Power Gloves, the Sacred Spirit Pearl, and the Overlord Divine Mallet—especially the Overlord Divine Mallet, a High-Grade Dao artifact granted to him as a reward for winning first place at Kanlishen Sect, possessing World Power and highly likely to ascend to Semi-Supreme Dao artifact status over long ages, its power utterly terrifying.

Yet this Xu Yuan Wuzui, possessing not a single High-Grade Dao artifact, dared come here to act boldly—and was crushed by Fang Yu's pure magic power and Great Dao techniques.

That's right—Fang Yu subdued this ancient relic without even using his own High-Grade Dao artifacts; he relied solely on pure magic power to crush him.

He has cultivated far too many Great Dao techniques; at the same realm, Xu Yuan Wuzui had cultivated eight hundred Ancient Celestial Dragon Forces, while Fang Yu's magic power had reached six thousand Ancient Celestial Dragon Forces—without even refining those High-Grade Dao artifacts, he could still crush him outright.

Now that Xu Yuan Wuzui is dead, the benefits to Fang Yu are immense.

"Excellent, excellent—this Time Crystal of Xu Yuan Wuzui contains over a thousand fragments of Time Law; unlike me, who currently possesses only dozens of Time Law fragments. After absorbing his fragments, my own Time Law fragments have become far more complete."

Fang Yu reached out and seized the Time Law crystal immersed in Huang Quan Holy Water, then absorbed it into his Cave Heaven World; instantly, the time force within his primordial Cave Heaven surged abundantly, a stream of time force slowly rotating within it.

At the Zhou Tian realm, he had taken a giant leap forward.

At this moment, Fang Yu's body returned to its original form; his divine sense observed his Cave Heaven World, which expanded again—from two ten-thousand-li diameter to three ten-thousand-li diameter; within this three-ten-thousand-li expanse, flowing Time Law and Space Law could be seen everywhere, and the forces of time and space now operated fully within his Cave Heaven World.

Within his Cave Heaven, numerous Great Dao techniques churned: the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, Primordial Force, Chaos Force, Star Force, Thunder Force, Freezing Force, Heavenly Force, the Dragon Realm's Dragon Qi and the Buddha Realm's Buddha Light, the Divine Realm's Divine Power, the Xuan Huang Long Hu Wan Xiang Force, and the Force of Withering and Flourishing—all flowed together; with every rotation of Zhou Tian, new transformations seemed to emerge.

Fang Yu felt he was just one step away from entering a crucial threshold—the Longevity Fifth Realm, Zao Wu.

Longevity Fifth Realm: Zao Wu!

This realm was not simply about altering material structure—turning stone to gold, water to oil; the most important aspect was that within the Cave Heaven, Zao Wu Qi would be generated, continuously transforming and refining the cultivator's body according to specific patterns, utterly breaking free from human constraints, the shackles of all lifeforms, and distinctions between species, reaching the status of a Creator, producing an immortal substance, and through creation, comprehending immortality.

If a cultivator was originally human, at Longevity Third and Fourth Realms he remained human—but upon reaching the Longevity Fifth Realm, he was no longer necessarily human; one could say he was no longer human at all.

Entire beings, entire demons, all races underwent an essential elevation in this realm, transforming into something akin to the Dao itself—towering above all, achieving immortality, becoming the Creator.

He could create countless races, or transform into any race—he could become a Dragon Clan by converting his Zao Wu Immortal Qi into Dragon Qi, or become a Phoenix if he wished. With Zao Wu Force within him, he himself was the Creator, his power boundless, his vitality and lifespan undergoing a qualitative leap; he could use Zao Wu Qi to forge High-Grade Dao artifacts and fully activate and push their limits.

This was the terrifying nature of the Longevity Fifth Realm, Zao Wu—in the myriad heavens, he was a Creator, a being like a god.

Only recently had Feng Feng Baiyu, the Zhang Sect of Yuhua Sect, just reached this realm.

Of course, no one knew whether in these past few years he had advanced from Longevity Fifth to Longevity Sixth Realm.

Fang Yu pondered many matters, his thoughts overlooking his Cave Heaven World; he felt at this moment as if he were the supreme Dao, observing every inch of his internal Cave Heaven World—if new transformations, new life, emerged fully within this Cave Heaven, his life level would ascend.

Creator of Creation.

Immortal Force.

All these insights filled his heart, yet externally, it was but a single instant.

Many fox maidens of Mount Qingqiu saw the Supreme Elder of Zumashen Sect, Xu Yuan Wuzui, arrive with fierce intent to demand justice—then vanish instantly, as if slain.

"What happened? What became of Xu Yuan Wuzui? Why did he vanish so suddenly?"

Deep within Mount Qingqiu, the seven Princesses of the fox clan watched the scene through a water screen, witnessing a sight that shocked them.

"Could Xu Yuan Wuzui have unleashed some supreme technique to rescue his son? But that shouldn't be how it looks—shouldn't Xu Yuan Wuzui have summoned his Cave Heaven to suppress Fang Yu? Why is it the opposite—he's the one being suppressed?"
