Chapter 189: Nether River Arrogantly Battles Tian Yuan

Beneath his feet, thick energy surged in.

Tian Yuan felt as if he had merged into one with Mount Buzhou; at every moment, laws were converging.

With a turn of his hand, a vast momentum fell into his palm, which could be used to survey his surroundings or to crush an enemy.

Just as he had previously anticipated, once all the Earth Veins of the Eastern Land were dredged and purified, he successfully broke through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

At this moment, by slightly settling his mind, he could clearly perceive every blade of grass and every tree in the Eastern Land.

Even while situated in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, he could arrive in an instant wherever the Earth Veins flowed.

To him, the Primordial World was no longer vast and boundless.

"Father Mountain!"

"Congratulations to Dao Brother on Proving the Dao to Hunyuan!"

A series of congratulatory voices interrupted Tian Yuan's deep contemplation.

In the distance, Nuwa, Houtu, and others flew over, their faces all filled with smiles.

However, as they approached and felt the powerful momentum rushing toward them, their eyes were all filled with shock.

Tian Yuan's breakthrough was within their expectations, but this momentum was simply too strong.

Houtu, Fuxi, and the others hurriedly looked toward Nuwa at their side, only to see that she also wore an expression of astonishment.

Compared to Houtu and the others, Nuwa, who had already Proved the Dao to Hunyuan, felt Tian Yuan's power even more personally.

She cultivated the Law of Creation, yet Nuwa inexplicably felt that Tian Yuan could easily suppress her.

Was the gap between them in the same realm really this large? Tian Yuan turned his head to look, and seeing the strange expressions in their eyes, he hurriedly withdrew his momentum.

"It is all thanks to the Wu Clan; otherwise, how could I have broken through so quickly!" After speaking, Tian Yuan slowly bowed to Houtu.

The many Earth Veins of the Eastern Land were almost all dredged and purified by the Wu Clan.

If not for the Wu Clan, he would surely still be hiding on Mount Buzhou, and would never have been able to Prove the Dao to Hunyuan.

Without the feedback from Mount Buzhou, relying solely on himself, it would have been even more impossible to reach this step.

Seeing this, Houtu hurriedly stepped forward and supported Tian Yuan: "Dao Brother, please do not do this. If not for Dao Brother's help, how could the Wu Clan be where it is today!"

Dredging and purifying the Earth Veins was the duty of the Wu Clan; Houtu was already more than grateful to Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan did not reply, but still bowed slightly.

One thing is one thing; he saved the Wu Clan, but the Wu Clan also helped him.

Without the Wu Clan, it is hard to say whether Mount Buzhou could have been preserved during the Witch-Demon Calamity.

Because of the Wu Clan, he now possessed the power to protect himself.

In the face of Tian Yuan's powerful strength, Houtu could only watch helplessly, though in her heart, she recognized Tian Yuan even more.

Proving the Dao to Hunyuan and achieving the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—these were not like those "watered-down" Saints in the world.

Once they left the Primordial World, the combat power of those Saints would be greatly discounted, whereas the stage for a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was the entire Chaos.

That Tian Yuan could still remember the kindness of the Wu Clan after breaking into such a realm made Houtu finally understand at this very moment why Father God had chosen him.

In all likelihood, only a person like Tian Yuan could truly manage the Primordial World well.

At this moment, Houtu knew that the Wu Clan had not lost unjustly at all.

Seeing Tian Yuan stand up, Nuwa asked impatiently: "Dao Brother! As both are Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, why is your momentum so astonishing?"

A slight gap would be one thing, but Tian Yuan had just broken through, and that rolling pressure gave Nuwa the illusion that he was impossible to match.

Hearing Nuwa's words, Houtu and the others also looked over with focused attention.

"I merely borrowed a bit of the momentum of Mount Buzhou," Tian Yuan replied with a smile, not hiding anything.

He and Mount Buzhou were already one; with the Eastern Earth Veins fully dredged, the one who benefited the most was Mount Buzhou. He had only broken into the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm because of the feedback from Mount Buzhou.

This was the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space; relying on Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan was a truly invincible existence.

Of course, even setting aside Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan felt his strength was still above Nuwa's; after all, he had mastered far too many laws.

Currently, the laws manifested in this space already numbered two thousand, and he was not far from the perfection of three thousand.

Although he had not cultivated many of these laws much, the feedback from Mount Buzhou alone was not something ordinary people could compare to.

With all Three Thousand Laws added to his body, this was his final Dao.

"Mount Buzhou!" Nuwa whispered softly, her eyes full of envy.

Beside her, Fuxi, Houtu, and the others wore the same expression.

The Heavenly Pillar, Mount Buzhou, stood between heaven and earth, supporting the entire Primordial World; how could ordinary people resist such top-tier momentum?

Now that Tian Yuan's strength had greatly increased, he must be even more adept at wielding Mount Buzhou.

Combining this with Tian Yuan's earlier situation, everyone could not help but wonder if Tian Yuan could drive the actual body of Mount Buzhou.

Mount Buzhou was no longer what it once was; if he truly used the true form of Mount Buzhou to strike at enemies, who in the Primordial World could stop him?

The gap lay in Mount Buzhou; Nuwa felt helpless in her heart, for her foundation simply could not compare.

"Dao Brother, now that the Earth Veins of the Eastern Land are perfected, let us send all those Wu Clan members to the North!" With the Eastern Earth Veins thoroughly dredged, Houtu thought of the Northern Land.

Gonggong was leading a portion of the Wu Clan in the North to absorb the Malevolent Qi, and since there was still plenty left, it was the perfect time to send those Wu Clan members there.

"Good!" Tian Yuan nodded.

The Array covering the North of the Primordial World had been broken by him, but the Array within the Consciousness Space still remained, and the energy driving the Array was that very Malevolent Qi.

The thinner the Malevolent Qi, the faster the Earth Veins would manifest.

Moreover, the existence of the Malevolent Qi would continue to erode the Earth Veins.

If all the Wu Clan members were sent to the North, they would surely be able to remove the Malevolent Qi in the shortest time possible.

With just a single thought, the group of Wu Clan members who had become idle from that Earth Vein all vanished from the spot in an instant.

In the vast Northern Land, one figure after another fell from the sky, descending toward the earth.

Having finished this, Tian Yuan frowned slightly and cast his gaze toward the firmament.

Houtu thought some accident had occurred and hurriedly asked, "Brother, has something changed?"

Tian Yuan shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and said softly, "It is nothing; something has happened on Mount Buzhou."

Nuwa's eyes brightened, and she asked impatiently, "Could it be that someone has seen the commotion and wants to investigate Mount Buzhou?"

After speaking, her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Tian Yuan's aura was so astonishing that Nuwa naturally wanted to witness it properly.

Nuwa did not know if there would be strange phenomena in the Primordial World due to Tian Yuan breaking through here, but the commotion on Mount Buzhou would definitely be significant.

Tian Yuan's terrifying might shocked even her, and those Heavenly Dao Saints would definitely not be able to sit still.

"Let's go! Let's go meet them!" Tian Yuan smiled, though his eyes revealed something peculiar.

Before he had broken through, he dared to clash head-on with Zhunti; now that he had Proved the Dao to Hunyuan, besides that person in Purple Heaven Palace, who else in the Primordial World was there to fear? Hearing the implication in Tian Yuan's words, Nuwa wondered in her mind if it was the Three Pure Ones or the Western Two Sages who had arrived.

Houtu and the others beside them were annoyed, but also somewhat expectant.

The scene before them shifted, and the group had already arrived on Mount Buzhou.

Just as they landed on the mountain, they felt a dense surge of spiritual energy rushing toward them.

"Wow! The spiritual energy is so much denser!"

"The Innate Spiritual Qi is as thick as rain; this is truly a great change for heaven and earth!"

"Such spiritual energy is truly a blessing for heaven and earth, a blessing for the Primordial World!"

They all knew that after the Eastern Earth Vein was cleared, the Primordial World would definitely undergo great changes, but they had not expected it to be so fast. This was just after purifying all the Earth Veins; as time passed, the spiritual energy would only become more exaggerated.

However, the slightly shocked group immediately cast their gaze toward the western firmament.

There, the color of blood filled the sky, and surging waves of blood rolled over, sweeping toward Mount Buzhou like a blanket covering the sky and earth.

"This... is this the aura of the Sea of Blood?" Houtu's expression froze, her eyes revealing something peculiar.

She had never been to the Nether Blood Sea, but the Sea of Blood had already manifested in the Consciousness Space, so Houtu naturally would not feel wrong.

Nuwa and the others beside her were similarly puzzled.

The blood waves rolled, and that monstrous Blood Fiend Qi clearly indicated that the visitor was not coming with good intentions.

They all knew that Minghe had become a Saint, but none of them had expected that it would be Minghe who came.

The Sea of Blood manifested in the Consciousness Space, appearing to have signs of contending with Houtu for the Earthly Dao, but what did that have to do with Mount Buzhou?

Could it be that Minghe had already learned of the matters within the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space through the Sea of Blood?

But if that were truly the case, he should be even more aware of Tian Yuan's strength; there was no reason for him to come so recklessly.

The group exchanged glances, the confusion on their faces deepening.

But no one spoke, each of them simply watching the rapidly approaching blood waves.

With such a great commotion from Minghe, the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages naturally noticed it immediately.

In their astonishment, they each extended their Divine Sense toward Mount Buzhou.

Saints had been emerging in heaven and earth constantly, but apart from the earlier clash between Nuwa and the Western Two Sages, there had been no other fighting.

The recent strange movement on Mount Buzhou, combined with Minghe's wild arrival now, happened to suit their wishes.

Whether it was Tian Yuan breaking through or Mount Buzhou breaking through, perhaps they would know shortly.

Minghe, walking with large strides amidst the blood waves, naturally noticed the strands of Saintly Divine Sense gathering, but he did not care.

With his current strength, rushing to Mount Buzhou would take only an instant; coming so slowly was naturally to show off.

Among the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, he had not obtained a Cushion, nor had he obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, yet he had become a Saint; how could Minghe not be proud?

Moreover, Minghe knew very clearly in his heart that after he became a Saint, many Innate Sacreds would surely imitate him, but these thousands of years had passed, and no one in heaven and earth had become a Saint.

Only a moment ago, there was that heaven-shaking strange phenomenon on Mount Buzhou, but Minghe could not see through it.

"Tian Yuan!" The rolling sound came from the horizon, echoing over Mount Buzhou.

"Detestable fellow!"

"This guy is too arrogant, actually calling Brother by his name directly!"

Minghe's impolite words instantly made Houtu and the others angry.

Tian Yuan, however, waved his hand and flew forward slowly.

To tell the truth, he was also a bit curious about what Minghe wanted to do.

Although the Sea of Blood was eroding the Netherworld, Minghe should not be aware of the situation in the Consciousness Space, otherwise, he would not have the guts to come.

As for being entrusted by the Dao Ancestor, the probability of that was also very small.

After all, he was still accompanied by Nuwa, and the Western Two Sages were no match for Nuwa, so Minghe definitely could not beat Nuwa either.

Once he left the Nether Blood Sea, Minghe had no advantages.

The blood waves rolled, and Minghe, in a fiery red robe, appeared. Glancing at Nuwa in the distance, Minghe looked at Tian Yuan: "The Dao Ancestor preached to the Primordial World; what virtue or ability does a mere stone man like you have to want to imitate the Dao Ancestor?"

A Saint's Primordial Spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, and his Blood God Son Technique had achieved some success, so Minghe did not fear Nuwa.

Tian Yuan:??????

Now that he had Proved the Dao to Hunyuan, Tian Yuan's mind turned slightly, and he understood the reason; this guy simply wanted to use him to establish his prestige.

If it were truly because of the matter of preaching, then it should be the Three Pure Ones or the Western Two Sages taking action, not Minghe, who was nothing.

He remembered that the doctrine of the Asura Sect was to kill—kill heaven, kill earth, kill all living beings.

In the Primordial land, the Wu Clan had faded, and the Demon Court had retreated to the Thirty-Three Heavens; Minghe was coming for him completely.

It was not a commission from Hongjun, which made Tian Yuan feel a little disappointed.

Now he was in the light, and Hongjun was in the dark, and Hongjun had many schemes for the Primordial World.

He was about to pass down the Hunyuan Dao in a few days, but Hongjun had not yet made a move, which made Tian Yuan slightly worried.

Since he already knew the reason, Tian Yuan immediately lost interest in Minghe.

As powerful as Minghe was, he naturally felt the change in Tian Yuan's expression immediately.

After revealing his form, Gungun's Saintly might poured forth; Minghe was already shocked that Tian Yuan had resisted his pressure, and now, he actually revealed a look of disappointment.

Could it be that this stone man has also become a Saint?

This thought flashed through Minghe's mind in an instant; after all, there had just been a phenomenon of someone becoming a Saint at Mount Buzhou.

With only a slight hesitation, Minghe reached out his hand toward Tian Yuan.

The large hand grew in the wind, transforming into a giant blood-colored palm that headed straight for Tian Yuan.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Minghe felt not the slightest bit of fear.

As a fellow Heavenly Dao Saint, even if he were not in the Nether Blood Sea, he boasted that he was no worse than anyone else.

Even if Nuwa were added to the mix, he could still fight them for a while.

"Let's see how strong the power of mobilizing Mount Buzhou can be!" Seeing Minghe make a move, a flicker of interest appeared in Tian Yuan's eyes.

After Proving the Dao to Hunyuan, the might of Mount Buzhou had greatly increased, and he could also borrow more of Mount Buzhou's power.

Standing in the air, Tian Yuan made no extra movements; he extended his right hand and pressed down into the void.

A *puchi* sound exploded in the air, and the giant hand Minghe had reached toward Tian Yuan shattered with a boom, turning into a mist of blood.

Minghe, who had been standing proudly in the air, saw his expression change drastically in an instant, but before he could make any other move, his body sank.

Minghe felt a vast, immense power pressing down on him; he couldn't even stand steadily and fell rapidly toward the ground, feeling somewhat bewildered.

The monstrous blood waves that had been faintly visible behind him also exploded with *peng-peng* sounds in an instant, turning into blood that dissipated across the sky.

"Ho... how could this be?" Minghe was horrified in his heart, and his will gathered around his body.

But those manifestations of will dissipated in the air just as they approached his body, unable to condense at all.

With a face full of terror, Minghe hurriedly looked toward the top of his head; in a trance, he vaguely saw a towering mountain descending, pressing heavily upon him.

No... Mount Buzhou!!!!

Boom! With a heavy sound, the earth shook violently, and Minghe was smashed fiercely into the ground.

The terrifying power shattered his physical body directly, turning it into waves of blood that exploded across the sky.

And the scattered blood was also crushed to pieces under the terrifying might in the surroundings.

In the Nether Blood Sea, blood waves rolled as Minghe, in a long, fiery-red robe, escaped from the water's surface, looking toward the direction of Mount Buzhou with a gloomy expression.

Defeated! He didn't even know what had happened before his physical body was easily crushed by Tian Yuan.

If not for practicing the Blood God Child, he would have been killed by Tian Yuan in one move!

"How can a Saint be this strong?" Minghe spat out word by word, his face somewhat twisted.

He had traveled to the Primordial Land with such great momentum, never expecting that he would be sent back home by the other party after just one encounter with Tian Yuan.

Minghe felt he had never been so humiliated!
