Chapter 190: I Am Actually This Strong

"Cult Leader!"

The crowd of Asuras busy in the Nether Blood Sea, seeing Minghe appear, immediately hurried forward to greet him.

Yet, sensing the faintly emanating violence from Minghe, no one dared to even draw a full breath.

Although they did not know where the Cult Leader had just gone, it was clear he had suffered a setback.

This thought flashing through their minds made all the Asuras shudder inwardly.

Now that the Cult Leader had attained sainthood, could it be one of those Heavenly Dao Saints in the world?

"Hmph!"

Just as the many Asuras were thinking this, a furious snort sounded in their ears, and they were all struck as if by a heavy blow.

The terrifying pressure descending upon them left them pale with horror; they hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to have any further wayward thoughts.

"Speed up; I want the entire Netherworld to belong to the Asura Clan," Minghe's low voice echoed in the Sea of Blood.

The first battle heading into the Primordial World was supposed to be the time to display his prestige; he had not expected to be defeated so thoroughly.

Although that was not his strongest power, the gap between him and Tian Yuan was truly too exaggerated.

Recalling the scene just now, it felt as if Mount Buzhou had truly pressed down upon him. That feeling of heart palpitations was still vivid in Minghe's mind.

The Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain had clearly attained sainthood and could easily mobilize the power of Mount Buzhou.

Only by relying on Mount Buzhou could Tian Yuan achieve such a crushing victory.

At this moment, Minghe also understood why those few Saints had not appeared when such a great anomaly occurred at Mount Buzhou.

It seemed that Laozi, the others of the Three Pure Ones, and the Western Two Sages had long known the Stone Man was not simple, and only he had foolishly crashed into him.

Fortunately, his movements at the time were too fast, and only those few Saints had seen clearly; at least it was not too embarrassing.

Thinking this, Minghe lowered his head to look at the Sea of Blood beneath him; he thought of the space within the Sea of Blood.

There lay a great opportunity for him, and perhaps through it, he could completely master the Sea of Blood.

Born from the Sea of Blood, Minghe knew well the power of the Sea of Blood. If he were in this Netherworld, how could he be in such a sorry state?

Taking this opportunity, he would also perfect the Blood God Son Technique.

When the time came, he would summon the Nether Blood Sea into the Primordial World and would definitely be able to fight Tian Yuan.

"We obey the Cult Leader's command!" The many Asuras all around dared not dissent and all respectfully accepted the order.

Even the Mosquito Daoist, who was always at odds with Minghe, had no objections and waited respectfully on the side.

Scanning the crowd, Minghe did not hesitate and dove straight into the depths of the Sea of Blood.

Tian Yuan was so extraordinary; the plan for the Primordial World needed to be considered long-term, perhaps starting from the Western World.

In the Yuqing Palace on Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones, who had been sitting quietly, stood up abruptly, each staring wide-eyed into the distance. Even Laozi, who was always indifferent, was filled with shock at this moment.

"That... that Stone Man?" Tongtian Jiaozhu stared blankly into the distance, his eyes filled with confusion.

He had been thinking of probing Tian Yuan's background, but who would have thought that as soon as Minghe appeared, he would be defeated and flee.

He had seen the anomaly of Minghe's Merit Sanctification; the fluctuations on the other party could not be wrong—it was indeed Merit Sanctification.

Yet, such a Minghe, who was also a Saint, was actually suppressed by Tian Yuan with a flip of his hand.

If not for the fact that a Saint's Primordial Spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, he would have been killed by Tian Yuan in one move on the spot.

That was a Saint!

Tongtian considered himself no match for Minghe, but there was no reason for the gap between him and Tian Yuan to be so large.

This meant that even if he were to face Tian Yuan, perhaps the outcome would not change much.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was the truth.

It was true that there were gaps between Heavenly Dao Saints, but what was before him was too exaggerated.

Tongtian turned his head and looked at Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun beside him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, Nuwa must have secretly helped!" Yuanshi Tianzun also shook his head repeatedly.

In his view, even if Tian Yuan had attained sainthood, it was impossible to have such a crushing situation.

Beneath the Saint, all are ants, yet Minghe, who was also a Saint, was directly pressed to the ground by Tian Yuan with one palm.

As if to convince himself, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Laozi: "Big Brother, did you see clearly?"

He had always thought Tian Yuan was acting against the heavens, but he had not expected him to be so terrifying just after attaining sainthood.

If he had gone a moment earlier, Yuanshi Tianzun dared not imagine what the result would have been.

"Mount Buzhou! It is Mount Buzhou!" Laozi's chaotic eyes stared fixedly at the towering Heavenly Pillar in the distance.

Mount Buzhou? Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun were stunned, but this did not make their expressions any better.

After all, even if he borrowed the power of Mount Buzhou, that was still Tian Yuan's power.

What exactly was Tian Yuan's relationship with Mount Buzhou? They had previously thought Tian Yuan was formed from the transformation of Mount Buzhou, but looking at the current situation, it did not seem that simple.

And how did Tian Yuan attain sainthood? Was it the Hunyuan Dao? Or was it because of the Hunyuan Dao that he was able to have such a relationship with Mount Buzhou? The Three Pure Ones sat back down on their Cushions, each appearing heavy-hearted.

They had originally thought that with the attainment of sainthood, the Primordial World would enter the era of Saints, and they, the Three Pure Ones, would govern the entire world; they had not expected this Stone Man to be so capable.

The Western Two Sages standing on Mount Sumeru were likewise stunned by the scene before them.

The two of them, staring blankly with wide eyes, looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhunti spoke softly: "Senior Brother, could it be that this Tian Yuan also practices that Hunyuan Dao?"

A moment ago, he had intended to probe the bottom of Mount Buzhou; fortunately, he had not acted rashly, otherwise, it would have been them, the two brothers, who were defeated in one move.

"I do not know either!" Jieyin shook his head.

Earlier, when they went to Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones did not know about the Hunyuan Dao, and they, as brothers, were even less clear.

They only saw that as soon as Minghe appeared, his physical body was crushed by Tian Yuan's palm. The Divine Sense covering that void only felt a terrifying momentum.

They also did not know if it was Tian Yuan's strength or the power of Mount Buzhou.

But there was no doubt that, at this moment, Tian Yuan was definitely not someone they could provoke.

Jieyin withdrew his gaze and continued, "We should just watch from the sidelines; it is the Three Pure Ones who should have a headache now."

The Western Region is barren, so as long as they do not act recklessly, it is highly probable they will not clash with Tian Yuan in the short term.

"That may be so, but what about the matter of strengthening the Western Sect?" Zhunti nodded, still feeling somewhat anxious.

The karma of becoming a Saint is so immense that Zhunti dared not forget it.

Talent is withered in the Western Region, so he cannot avoid ferrying some living beings from the East, which will inevitably lead to intersections with Tian Yuan.

"That Minghe has created the numerous Asura Clan in the Sea of Blood; if we ferry some over, it can also resolve our immediate needs!" As he spoke, Jieyin looked toward the Netherworld.

Originally, there were only the two of them in the Western World; it was one thing when Minghe had not yet become a Saint, but now that he has also become a Saint, he will certainly compete for Heaven and Earth Luck, and their Western Sect will bear the brunt of it.

Since that is the case, why not strike first to gain the advantage?

"Good!" Zhunti's eyes grew hot, and he was in full agreement.

They are old neighbors with Minghe, and both are very clear about that one's personality—he is definitely a restless character.

Otherwise, he would not have rushed from the Netherworld, traveling hundreds of millions of miles straight to Mount Buzhou.

The two withdrew their gazes, exchanged a look, and slowly vanished into the air.

At this moment on Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan was also looking at what was before him in surprise.

Whether Minghe is a Heavenly Dao Saint or an Earthly Dao Saint, Tian Yuan does not know for the time being, but he understands very clearly that Saints in the Primordial World are immortal.

Therefore, facing Minghe's aggressive arrival this time, he did not hold back at all. After breaking through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, although he still could not fully command Mount Buzhou, the great momentum he could mobilize was much stronger.

It was just that Tian Yuan did not expect his full-force strike to directly shatter Minghe's physical body.

A dignified Saint could not even withstand a single move from him.

"So I am actually this strong!" Looking at the great momentum gathered in his palm, Tian Yuan's face was filled with joy.

There might be gaps between the various Saints, but they would certainly not be very large.

Since Minghe was not a match for even one of his moves, the remaining Three Pure Ones and the others would likely be much the same.

As of now, he is already the strongest existence in the entire Primordial World.

With Hongjun of the Purple Heaven Palace not appearing, who else could be his opponent?

Putting away the great momentum in his palm, Tian Yuan stood proudly in the air, feeling indescribably comfortable all over.

It is said that a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal is rejected by this world, but Tian Yuan felt an incomparable sense of intimacy.

It seems that in the Original Work, Nuwa retreated to Chaos after becoming a Saint entirely because she was being schemed against by Hongjun.

Possessing the strength to crush everything, perhaps he could make a trip to the Demon Court and capture Di Jun and Taiyi. And those Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages, he could take them all down as well and throw them into that space.

The Three Thousand Laws are still quite lacking; these fellows will definitely be able to complete them.

If that is still not enough, he will just grab all the Innate Sacred beings in the entire world, and the Three Thousand Laws will certainly all manifest.

As Tian Yuan thought this to himself, exclamations came from behind him, and he saw Nuwa leading Houtu and the others rushing over rapidly.

"Brother's strength is truly, truly unrivaled!" Nuwa looked Tian Yuan up and down with her beautiful eyes, at a loss for how to describe it.

She knew Tian Yuan's cultivation was profound and beyond her comparison, but she had not expected it to be this terrifying.

As for Minghe, Nuwa did not hold him in high regard either.

But to take him down within the Primordial World, she would still have to expend some effort.

Tian Yuan had not even moved; he merely raised his hand and easily shattered Minghe's physical body.

Below the Saint, all are ants, but in Tian Yuan's eyes, how is this Saint any different from an ant? "Haha! It is merely relying on the power of Mount Buzhou!" Tian Yuan replied softly, his face also carrying joy.

Setting aside the might of Mount Buzhou, his strength as a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal is also not weak, but he definitely could not achieve this kind of effect.

"That is also Brother's fortuitous encounter!" In Nuwa's eyes, there was nothing but envy.

After the Earth Veins were cleared, the might of Mount Buzhou surged repeatedly.

Now it is only the Eastern Earth Vein; once the other three Earth Veins are all cleared, Nuwa does not even know what kind of power Mount Buzhou will have then.

And Tian Yuan, who can mobilize Mount Buzhou, could likely contend with that person in the Purple Heaven Palace.

"Father Mountain! Minghe? What about that Minghe?"

"Brother! Has this battle already ended?"

"It hasn't even been a single breath of time, and Minghe has already been defeated?"

Houtu and the others, who arrived a step later, all peered around, but saw no sign of anyone.

A moment ago, they had just seen Minghe arrive with great force. Who would have thought that in the next second, the blood waves in the sky would fade, and in a blink, it would become calm and tranquil.

Not to mention seeing the scene of the Saint's battle, even the aftershocks of the battle had not dispersed before the world fell into silence.

The battle had just begun and it was already over?

They guessed in their hearts that Tian Yuan had won, but Minghe was a Saint after all; it made no sense for it to be this fast.

Even though they firmly believed in Tian Yuan's prowess, they still found it hard to believe.

Meeting the gazes of the crowd, Tian Yuan spoke softly: "That fellow should have returned to the Sea of Blood by now!"

That fellow Minghe has a remarkable Blood God Son Technique; after becoming a Saint, his life-saving methods are even more exaggerated—he cannot die.

"Hoo!"

Hearing Tian Yuan's words, Houtu and the others could not help but take a deep breath.

That was a Saint, yet he was defeated by Tian Yuan in the blink of an eye; immediately after, their faces were filled with joy.

They did not know the specifics, only thinking that a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was this capable, which could not help but make them excited.

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

"Congratulations to Brother!"

Two voices came from afar; it was Zhenyuanzi arriving together with Hongyun.

At this moment, their faces were also filled with shock.

When they arrived from the Northern Land, they happened to see Minghe appear in the sky with great force, and they also heard the conversation the others had just had.

Tian Yuan proved the Dao to Hunyuan and easily defeated the sanctified Minghe of the Sea of Blood.

Beyond their excitement and joy, the two of them were even more expectant regarding the Hunyuan Dao.

Beyond their excitement, endless gratitude also rose within their hearts.

If not for Tian Yuan, they would definitely be following that so-called Three Corpses Method right now.

Not to mention whether they could merge the three corpses, even if they took that final step, they would still be so weak.

Tian Yuan laughed aloud and said, "Now that the Eastern Earth Veins are all cleared and the world has undergone great changes, you all should cultivate diligently and prove the Dao to Hunyuan as soon as possible!"

The might of Mount Buzhou surged, the spiritual Qi of the Primordial World became abundant, and the laws flowing between heaven and earth also became much thicker, which meant that breaking through might become simpler.

And now, the place in the entire world where spiritual Qi and laws are most concentrated is naturally the Mount Buzhou before their eyes.

Houtu, Hongyun, and the others all nodded heavily.

They did not know for certain if Nuwa had become a Saint, but Tian Yuan had definitely proven to them personally that the Hunyuan Dao was viable.

The Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal is the most correct path.

After the few of them talked in detail, some remained at Mount Buzhou to cultivate, while others followed Tian Yuan to the Consciousness Space.

Upon returning to the Consciousness Space, Tian Yuan immediately escaped into the interior of Mount Buzhou.

The world, which was originally dark, was now covered with dense, blood-colored lines.

They surged out from the Pangu Heart, interweaving and coiling throughout the entire space, reaching out densely in all directions.

At the very center, a dazzling Purple Light bloomed; it was the Pangu Heart.

The heart, which was already full, was now completely ruddy and plump, and every time it vibrated, thick energy surged out.

In Tian Yuan's perception, they flowed along those dense blood vessels toward the Eastern Land.

And within those many blood vessels, he could vaguely see wisps of Indestructible Spiritual Light swimming and moving.

Standing in the air, Tian Yuan beckoned slightly with his right hand, and immediately saw a wisp of white light fall into his palm.

"The greatest harvest is indeed still Mount Buzhou!" Feeling the energy coming from the Indestructible Spiritual Light in his palm, Tian Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement.

Although it was only a fragment, it was still incomparably rare.

Why is an Innate Spiritual Treasure called 'innate'? It is because it contains a wisp of Indestructible Spiritual Light within it.

And every Innate Supreme Treasure contains a complete Indestructible Spiritual Light.

Tian Yuan was not clear whether these Indestructible Spiritual Lights came from Mount Buzhou itself or the Pangu Heart. But he was very clear that if this continued for a long time, a complete Indestructible Spiritual Light might condense here.

Loosening his palm, that wisp of Indestructible Spiritual Light zipped away and disappeared into the dense blood vessels.
