Chapter 3: The King's Precedent, Cause and Effect
Chapter 3: Before All Kings, the Intricate Roots of Cause and Effect
With a roar, the Great God Qiongqi began to rapidly reassemble its flesh, bones, and scales. The Yin and Yang energies collapsed, and the Great God Qiongqi charged into the five boundless divine lights. Its life essence surged, repeatedly repelling the surging and chaotic five-colored divine lights around it.
"When did Your Excellency begin cultivating the Five Elements Dao?"
Yin Kang looked at the vast Five Elements that Fuxi had evolved, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. As a cultivator who specialized in the Great Dao of Water and the Great Dao of Vast Ocean, Yin Kang saw a different Great Dao of Water in the divine light of water that Fuxi had evolved.
Its gentle and clear nature, filled with the all-encompassing essence of water, is completely different from the extreme violent power he has always pursued. Observing Fuxi's mastery of the Great Dao of Water will greatly benefit his own advancement in the Dao of Water.
"It is not the Five Elements Dao, but a supernatural power that arises on its own after the physical body becomes strong enough. Your Majesty has reached the pinnacle of the physical path, and the five-colored divine light is naturally manifested by the essence of the five internal organs."
Ge Tian saw the numbers of heaven and earth shifting in his eyes, flicked his whisk, and spoke.
"The Venerable One recently said he was going into seclusion to temper his true form and physique. In just ten thousand years, he has been able to temper his physique to this extent. The Venerable One truly lives up to his title. His grasp and understanding of the Great Dao are far beyond our imagination."
Wu Huai's smile faded slightly, and he said with emotion, "In just ten thousand years, he has tempered his physical body to the point where he can contend with the ferocious beast Qiongqi. Among the many powerful gods and demons in the primordial world, Fuxi's physical strength is probably already in the first tier."
Zhu Xiang watched as Fuxi, who had effortlessly routed the Qiongqi God, was forced to retreat repeatedly. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he focused his gaze on the golden divine light that was tearing everything apart. Zhu Xiang's consciousness was completely absorbed in the changes of this golden divine light.
Hao Ying looked at the Qiongqi Great God Form surrounded by the five-colored divine light, no longer paying attention to the ferocious beast that had brought him endless threat, but instead looked at the white-robed Nuwa and the green-robed Fuxi, who were the key to victory or defeat.
"It seems my Qiongqi Divine Appearance is no match for you."
With a wave of her hand, Nuwa unleashed endless seven-colored brilliance that pierced through the overwhelming five-colored divine light, and shaped the image of the Great God Qiongqi into a jade pillar, which she then stored in her sleeve.
"Let me see how far you've progressed in the path of true physical form."
Nuwa revealed a cool smile, and her slender figure, having traversed thousands of miles of time and space, appeared before Fuxi.
With a simple, effortless stretch of its pale fingers, devoid of any spiritual light, it pierced through time and space, shattering the magnificent five-colored divine light before Fuxi.
"When it comes to tempering the physical body, I dare not compare myself to you."
Fuxi stepped back, avoiding the jade finger that could have pierced through his ancestral temple between his eyebrows.
Fuxi has focused on the Great Dao of Soul and Consciousness for many years, while Nuwa has focused on the Great Dao of Creation and Life. In terms of the perfection and strength of the physical body, Fuxi can say with certainty that Nuwa is the number one person in the primordial world.
The "Theory of Form" that he hastily developed was incomplete. Fuxi only practiced the Yang Essence Method, the True Lead Method, and the Mysterious Pearl Method within it. If he were to truly compete with Nuwa in the way of the physical body, Fuxi would have no chance of winning.
A clear, blood-red light bloomed beneath Fuxi's feet, and countless blood lotuses blossomed in a winding river of blood, blocking a jade finger that could pierce through and obliterate everything.
Looking at the Blood River that was almost cut in half, and then at Nuwa's slowly extending finger on the opposite bank, Fuxi couldn't help but marvel once again at the strength of Nuwa's physique.
"Fortunately, I prepared for this battle, otherwise I really would have lost."
Countless blood lotuses transformed into specks of light and fell upon Fuxi's body. As the blood light meandered, a seemingly real yet illusory, ever-flowing river of blood appeared on Fuxi's blue robe.
All beasts, spirits, gods, and demons—almost all living beings in the primordial world flashed through the blood river on Fuxi's body. At this moment, the aura on Fuxi's body instantly increased tenfold, or even a hundredfold.
Faced with Nuwa's jade finger pointing down again, Fuxi did not back down this time. He pointed out with the same sword finger, which turned into an extreme sharpness and pierced Nuwa's jade finger.
A series of dazzling bolts of lightning exploded between the two. Amidst the cluster of countless bolts of lightning, the blood river wrapped around Fuxi splashed up thousands of bloody lights. The shadows of all spirits and beasts contained within it were mostly annihilated in an instant. Nuwa was also not unscathed and was forced to take a half step back.
"The Blood River of Ten Thousand Spirits?"
Nuwa looked at the small bloodstain on her fingertip and then curiously looked at the river of blood slowly flowing on Fuxi's body.
With her mastery of the Dao of Creation, she naturally sensed that this blood river was filled with an extremely vast aura of life, as if it contained the essence of the bloodlines of all races and beings in the primordial world.
"This is a colossal structure in the Great Wilderness that I am still conceiving, the first of all kings. If I can integrate the essence of the bloodlines of all races, spirits, beasts and gods into it, then this colossal structure of the first of all kings should be considered complete."
"This colossal structure is only in its initial stages, and it only incorporates the essence of the bloodlines of a little over a hundred ancient tribes."
Fuxi looked at Nuwa and explained the essence of the river of blood on his body. Nuwa explained the essence of the Qiongqi God to him. Fuxi naturally wouldn't take advantage of Nuwa.
"Is this also one of your methods to compensate for your current combat strength?"
"no."
Fuxi's surging aura gradually subsided. Looking into Nuwa's clear and pure eyes, Fuxi said, "This is the preparation I made for my future destiny. I've been running away for so long, and I don't want to run away anymore."
"The matter of the Dragon Clan ultimately arose because of me, and I must personally resolve this cause and effect. The Hundred Kings will be my important helper in resolving this cause and effect in the future."
Nuwa looked at the serious expression on Fuxi's face and fell into silence. Fuxi was bound by the karma of dragons, and she was also entangled by the karma of snakes.
In the past, she and Fuxi received great benefits from Pangu and transformed into innate gods and demons. They took the benefits, and naturally, the cause and effect had to be settled. However, Nuwa did not expect that Fuxi would decide to settle the cause and effect between himself and the dragon clan now.
Thinking of this, Nuwa looked at Fuxi in front of her, and her clear black and white eyes turned emerald green.
The essence of the Great Dao of Creation rose and fell in Nuwa's eyes. In Nuwa's eyes, countless prophetic ropes shimmering with azure color were wrapped around Fuxi's body. The two great forces of Heaven and Man achieved perfect self-balance in Fuxi's body.
Life, death, fortune, merit, cause and effect, karma, and all kinds of divine and human power transformed into countless wheels of life and death, filling every inch of Fuxi's body. Even Fuxi's soul and primordial spirit were recombined and fused together from a large number of wheels of life and death.
The perfect power of life and death constitutes everything about Fuxi. The essence of Fuxi's innate divine and demonic body has undergone earth-shattering changes. Such a body may be called the true body of an innate divine and demonic being.
Furthermore, Nuwa also sensed that there was a deeper level of existence within Fuxi's primordial spirit and soul, but with Nuwa's current power, she was unable to fathom the true origin of Fuxi.
"You've even changed the foundation of your divine and demonic form?"
Nuwa looked at Fuxi, her tone somewhat surprised.
The true form of the innate gods and demons is one of the origins of these innate gods and demons. Fuxi even completely reconstructed his true form, which shows that Fuxi completely abandoned the original innate pure yang path and broke free from the influence of Pangu.
"I have found my Dao, so my original divine and demonic true form, which was based on innate pure Yang, is no longer suitable for my Dao. I secluded myself for 100,000 years to reorganize my Dao foundation and reconstruct my divine and demonic true form."
Fuxi lowered his gaze, blocking Nuwa's eyes, and slowly spoke.
Fuxi dismantled his original innate pure yang divine and demonic body, and most of the divine and demonic origins and the origins of the Heavenly Dao were integrated into the True Spirit Diagram deep within his soul, strengthening his five great True Spirit roots.
The remaining small portion of the Heavenly Dao's origin was reforged by Fuxi with a large amount of life and death power, forming his current innate divine and demonic form.
Although his physical strength and essence were greatly reduced, Fuxi didn't care. He had a way to perfectly make up for the defects of his body.
"This battle should be my last with you for a while. The remaining six duels will have to wait until later."
As Fuxi looked at Nuwa, the power of all spirits and gods around him surged and collapsed once more.
"So, I'm not going to lose this time."
Fuxi clenched his right hand, and a large amount of life and death power merged together, forming a blue longsword.
Without any sharpness or warning, driven by the mighty power of the first king, this sword stretched the flow of time, like a comet, shattering the dust in the sky, and piercing the Lotus Lantern in Nuwa's palm that was slowly emitting light.
The purple and blue flames intertwined like two serpents, and two long rainbows shot out from the wick of the Lotus Lantern, blocking the sword light unleashed by Fuxi.
Purple and blue flames descended, and Nuwa grasped the flames with both hands, revealing two elegantly crafted longswords in her palms.
The myriad sword lights rang out, and Fuxi and Nuwa passed each other. Fuxi's ever-changing sword light met Nuwa's pure, bright, and radiant sword light.
The clear, shimmering sword light shifted and changed unpredictably, like countless ever-changing spirits and beasts, forcing Nuwa to retreat step by step.
With a flick of his longsword, Fuxi unleashed the pure and boundless essence and blood of all races, transforming it into a magnificent roc that soared through the heavens and swept across ninety thousand miles of wind.
Although it was only a wisp of the true meaning of the Great Dao, Fuxi's sword strike was like a real roc spreading its wings, instantly overturning thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, merging heaven and earth, as if a cataclysmic calamity had descended.
Nuwa's face paled, and a mournful sound came from the two purple and blue swords in her palm, as sparks shattered and scattered on the exquisite blades.
"The Great Transformation gives birth to the Mysterious, and the Primordial Spirit nurtures all the heavens."
As Nuwa uttered her maxim, the two swords in her hands, one purple and one green, suddenly shone brightly, and an evolutionary will that surpassed all others enveloped the two divine swords.
