Chapter 33: Earth Ancestral Source
"Brother!" Kuafu exclaimed loudly, his anger causing his hair to stand on end, veins bulging all over his body.
Before he could recover from the shock of Tian Yuan's breakthrough, he saw Houyi enveloped by a cloud of hazy yellow dust, with a figure clearly visible struggling within.
Having hunted Tian Yuan for hundreds of years, Kuafu naturally understood what that was.
That Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure had swept away countless tribesmen, and now even a Great Witch had fallen victim to it.
With a roar, Kuafu gripped his wooden staff and charged toward Tian Yuan.
With thick blood energy surging through his massive muscles that coiled like dragons, Kuafu increased his speed.
However, Tian Yuan was well-prepared; he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil that wrapped around Houyi into his belly.
He had not used this Innate Spiritual Treasure against Houyi and Kuafu for the past few hundred years precisely for this moment.
Had he let them become familiar with it earlier, it could never have had such miraculous effects.
With the suddenness of the event, Houyi had not expected him to pull this move, saving Tian Yuan a great deal of time.
As for the remaining Kuafu, that would be much easier to handle.
Rubbing his fists together, Tian Yuan flew forward with great excitement.
The taste of the Law of Force made him feel extremely eager.
Boom, boom, boom! The most brutal and direct way of fighting; looking at his fists blooming with a faint earthy yellow light, Tian Yuan's eyes were filled with joy.
He still remembered his first clash with Kuafu clearly.
The terrifying Law of Force had covered his right arm in cracks, forcing him to flee from afar.
Now, clashing again, although he could still feel the terror in Kuafu's fists, his physical body could barely withstand it.
This was not only because of his breakthrough, but also because of Mount Buzhou and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil on his chest.
As the Earth Ancestral Source, there was no magic treasure in heaven and earth more suitable for him.
Without these two things, how could he possess such a formidable physical body?
With every attack from Kuafu, gray impurities spilled from his skin; Tian Yuan was using the Law of Force to temper his physical body.
The more the furious Kuafu fought, the more he trembled in his heart.
Previously, he had been helpless against Tian Yuan entirely because the opponent was fast and he could not get close at all.
The scene of their first meeting was also still fresh in Kuafu's mind.
With one punch, the stone man had fled in a sorry state, never daring to clash head-on with him again.
Now, having only broken through one Essence Refining Stage, he was actually fighting him to a standstill?
Thick blood-evil energy spilled from his skin, and his entire person was shrouded in blood mist; this was a sign of him pushing his Great Witch body to the limit.
A breakthrough in Dao practice, and even the physical body became terrifying? Could this guy really be like them, the Wu Clan? But physical cultivation was not that simple; one's origin already determined its upper limit.
Thinking of how the opponent feared no pressure from Mount Buzhou, Kuafu's heart was in a state of chaos.
Absorbing the surrounding blood mist, the yellow snake on Kuafu's shoulder swelled in size and viciously lunged at Tian Yuan.
Tian Yuan didn't even look, grabbing the snake's head and tossing it onto the ground.
Unexpectedly, the yellow snake was also capable; after struggling twice, it immediately crawled back up, wrapping itself around Kuafu's waist, flicking its tongue but not daring to approach again.
The other one, which had been ready to strike, hurriedly withdrew its offensive and slithered rapidly over Kuafu's body.
A pair of brown snake eyes stared fixedly at Tian Yuan, searching for an opportunity.
Tian Yuan didn't care; looking at his arm, which had faintly shrunk in size, he couldn't help but laugh excitedly. "Haha! A dignified Great Witch is indeed remarkable!"
Your Daoist methods are profound and your divine abilities are remarkable, but in the end, you are no match for my formidable physical body.
Tian Yuan was already immensely looking forward to Kuafu's Law of Force.
Hearing Tian Yuan's praise, Kuafu felt no joy, but rather a sense of humiliation.
Born from the Pangu Temple, who in the Great Desolate land had ever dared to challenge his edge? Now, not only was his brother captured, but he himself was powerless. Knowing he could not take down Tian Yuan, Kuafu swept his wooden staff horizontally and turned to run toward the Pangu Temple.
The original plan had been to go to the temple to notify the Ancestral Witches, and now he should go even more.
This stone man was truly too strange!
"Hehe! It's too late to leave now!" Seeing Kuafu fleeing, Tian Yuan opened his mouth and spat, and rolling yellow earth surged out.
The hazy yellow dust rolled toward Kuafu like a yellow cloud.
Touching his chest and looking at the faint nine-colored light within, Tian Yuan grew even fonder of this magic treasure.
The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil had been obtained by Nuwa; except for a small portion used to create humans, most of the Earth Ancestral Source was displayed in the Wa Palace.
It was truly a pity that such a powerful spiritual treasure could only be left to gather dust.
From now on, this Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure would surely shine brilliantly in the Great Desolate in his hands.
Kuafu, who was stomping along, suddenly felt a heavy weight on his back, as if thousands of high mountains were pressing down on him.
He turned around in shock and saw golden-yellow soil emerging from the yellow mist behind him, attaching itself to his body and rapidly spreading to the surroundings.
Kuafu was greatly alarmed; he shook his body and punched toward the golden-yellow soil.
There was no sound, no resistance, only a soft touch. The soil shattered, but it extended into even more yellow earth, which wrapped around him as if it had a life of its own.
"What kind of strange spiritual treasure is this!" Kuafu widened his eyes.
He smashed his wooden staff down heavily; the yellow earth splashed and was easily broken, but these soils seemed to grow, rolling over him again in an overwhelming manner.
The wooden staff in his palm sank; it had actually been coated with a layer of golden-yellow, which was gradually thickening.
On his feet, there was also soft yellow earth covering them, making every step difficult.
Kuafu had tried many magic treasures of the Demon Race, but he had never encountered such a bizarre object.
Those yellow snakes flicked their tongues, slithering rapidly over Kuafu's body and making urgent hissing sounds. Facing that golden-yellow soil, they didn't dare to approach at all.
"Tsk tsk tsk! I wonder what kind of power it will have once it is fully restored!" Looking at the yellow earth that had already climbed to Kuafu's waist, Tian Yuan's eyes lit up.
Kuafu struggled hard and tried to run, but with his burly figure, he simply could not dodge.
The only reason Kuafu could still resist now was that the Innate Wutu Divine Thunder within it had not yet been activated.
Otherwise, even with the body of a Great Witch, one would have no choice but to surrender to that boundless and infinite Innate Wutu Divine Thunder.
"Tian Yuan, what on earth is this?" Kuafu waved his hands repeatedly, his wooden staff already lost somewhere.
As the yellow soil continuously swallowed him, it felt as if he were carrying the entire Mount Buzhou on his back!
Tian Yuan, who strode forward, did not hide it and said loudly, "Nine Heavens Breathing Soil!"
It really was just a pile of dirt!
Kuafu's face twitched slightly, but his heart felt incomparably stifled.
Amidst roars of rage, he was gradually covered by the golden-yellow soil. The two large and two small yellow snakes that were trying to flee were likewise wrapped inside.
Within the hundreds-of-zhang-tall golden-yellow soil giant, the intensity of Kuafu's struggle grew smaller and smaller.
Watching the completely motionless giant, Tian Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled, and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil turned into a yellow cloud and was swallowed into his belly.
Kuafu and Houyi, both at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, had been captured by him.
Obtaining two experts to dredge the Earth Vein also meant the manifestation of the Law of Force and the Space Law.
Glancing at the group of the Wu Clan rushing over from afar, Tian Yuan picked up Kuafu's wooden staff and turned to flee into Mount Buzhou.
The loss of two Great Witches would certainly attract the attention of the Ancestral Witches; he had to seize the time.
