Chapter 78: then translation of title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== list

Fuxi, Di Jun, Nüwa — the two fighting were somewhat astonished; they never expected that in this period, the two would progress so much.

You should know, battles within the Wilds are, under the suppression of the Great Dao, and unlike in Chaos, where all power can be unleashed without restraint.

The two's formidable destructive power has already begun to catch up to those veteran innate deities of the previous round's Four Rivers Water Gods lineage.

Qi and Taiyi's battle is still ongoing, and now both of them are somewhat excited.

Taiyi displayed another of his innate treasures, the Emerald Light Yin-Yang Lamp.

Upon its first appearance, its lamp fire gave Qi considerable trouble; the Yin-Yang qi within the lamp continually restricted Qi's movement, forcing him to bear the Chaos Bell's damage head-on.

Qi revealed his bellicose nature, returning to his true form; the terrifying purifying divine power seemed to want to trace everything back to its origin.

The defense of the Innate Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus was broken more than once, yet it hardly harmed Qi; the Chaos Bell, not fully refined, could not ultimately unleash its full power.

Blood trickled from Qi's mouth, the eyes on his forehead wide open, continually scanning his surroundings; Taiyi's sinister tactics left him unable to defend against them.

Taiyi also fared poorly; without going all out, he could not break the Innate Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus's defense, yet when he went all out on offense he had no spare energy to divert to defense.

Struck several times by Qi taking advantage with the World-Separating White Jade Ruler, his protective spiritual light shattered on contact.

Seeing Qi standing atop the Innate Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus, his hand constantly shaking the World-Separating White Jade Ruler, pure light continually accumulated, and the surrounding space was riddled with cracks.

Taiyi continually gathered divine power into the Chaos Bell, forcing Qi to unleash prematurely.

Seeing Taiyi move, Qi did not hold back, hurling the accumulated pure light at him.

Taiyi lifted the Chaos Bell, not for defense, but condensed his divine power into a focused sound wave, attacking Qi's position, then promptly flicking away.

Qi's four eyes all glared, his astonishment unmistakable, he shouted:

"You madman!"

Without even looking at the collision of their divine abilities, the Innate Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus's spiritual light flared, and it fled swiftly into the distance.

"Not good!"

Di Jun, Fuxi, and Nüwa reacted a bit slowly, but fortunately the distance was sufficient, giving them time to set up treasure defenses.

Nüwa's Precious Lotus Lamp and Limitless Umbrella both burst forth with spiritual light, protecting the three.

Di Jun and Fuxi also used the River Chart and Luo Book together with Fuxi's Qin, coordinating with Nüwa to strengthen the defense.

The two divine abilities collided instantly, in silent stillness.

After a few breaths, a huge white light blazed up and spread outward.

Qi and the Innate Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus were directly flung away, unknown where they landed, only returning to the battlefield after several days.

After waiting a few more days, Nüwa, Di Jun, and Fuxi returned, while Taiyi waited a full half month.

At this moment everyone's condition was poor, their breaths tinged with decadence.

Qi now suffers added wounds, Taiyi is covered in injuries, and Fuxi, Di Jun, and Nüwa have low spirits.

"Taiyi, if I ever spar with you again, unless my brain is addled, you're just a battle maniac!"

Qi's voice was filled with an inexplicable meaning; Taiyi merely explained:

"The defense of the Innate Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus is too strong; without doing this, we couldn't decide the outcome in a short time, the Chaos Bell's consumption of divine power is too great, prolonged battle puts us at a disadvantage."

Qi had no reply; indeed, he later harbored that very thought, seeking victory by exhausting Taiyi.

Yet he never expected Taiyi to be so crazy; the clash of the two Luo Heavenly Venerables' divine abilities after charging up was truly something only he could have thought of!

Nüwa and the others hadn't expected that, merely observing the battle, they would end up more injured than in the previous five-person Dao discussion melee.

"Let's go back and heal; indeed, curiosity kills the cat—these perverse battles shouldn't be something we watch."

Fuxi's condition was relatively poor; although he suffered an unwarranted disaster without complaint, he didn't find it surprising, rather feeling it was only natural.

Earlier, when heading to the Northern Continent amidst hordes of ferocious beasts, he was also well protected; since meeting them, the two injuries he sustained were both inflicted by his own people, leaving him unsure whether to be angry or amused.

Everyone slowly flew out of this battle zone, avoiding these unstable space turbulences, before beginning to rend space and return to the Wilds Continent.

Taiyi, aware of his fault, remained silent along the way as if nonexistent, merely quietly regulating his breath and reflecting on the gains from this sparring.

At the same time, most of the Phoenix clan members able to return to the Southern Continent successively arrived near the Immortal Flame Mountain, beginning to fully gather fire qi.

They cannot release too much at once, especially after the Primordial Phoenix released most of the fire qi from the core region.

The Southern Continent currently cannot accommodate more fire qi, or else the temperature will continue to rise sharply.

They can only craft some artifacts capable of containing fire qi, such as gourds and jade bottles, to temporarily store the fire qi within.

The Primordial Phoenix also continually patrols the entire Immortal Flame Mountain, and she has fully realized the severity of the problem.

The core region expanded by about one third, and the entire Immortal Flame Mountain expanded considerably, adding roughly forty thousand more volcanoes.

Moreover, most of the volcanoes contain extremely dense fire qi, poised to erupt at any moment.

Additionally, some volcanoes, having already erupted, are now only somewhat calm.

Yet the accumulation speed of fire qi far surpasses before; the Immortal Flame Mountain has become a powder keg about to explode, needing only a spark to blast the Southern Continent into the heavens.

Rahu, after confirming the state of the Immortal Flame Mountain, swiftly returned to Mount Sumeru; although he wanted to collect calamitous qi, the Immortal Flame Mountain is of great importance, being one of the untouchable taboos.

Though he had no interest in helping, he also did not wish to now sever himself from the Wilds.

In his view, by not adding chaos, he had already rendered great assistance.

With the Phoenix clan's strength, they can sustain until the Primordial Phoenix awakens; there is no need yet for these veteran innate deities to worry.

As for how the Primordial Phoenix will solve this problem after awakening, that is his affair.

Rahu only needs to, after they are unable to suppress it and the Immortal Flame Mountain erupts, go harvest the calamitous qi, then blame the Phoenix clan for negligence.

As for Yang Mei and the others, Rahu feels they will likely do the same, merely going to save people.

The Three Powers' Dao stands separate, each with its own duties; for these human-path innate deities, their task is to educate all beings or to transform heaven and earth.

But certainly not to meddle in the duties of the earth deities; thus he feels that Fuxi now is still quite immature, actually being easily lured by him.

Fortunately those water gods still have some ability; otherwise, under heavenly karmic causality, what he gains would likely not be merit reward, but karmic entanglement.

Rahu, even now recalling it, still feels some lingering dread; who could have imagined that a casual move would produce such an effect.

Time flies, an era passes in an instant; beneath the parasol tree, the Primordial Phoenix gradually awakens from slumber.

Undying Volcano!

The thought arrived here, Yuan Feng suddenly opened their eyes.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yuan Feng rose, thinking: I should go visit the water deities of all water systems, to borrow water.

Water floods the Undying Volcano, forcibly extinguishing the fire!
