Fengshen: I, Nezha, don’t need a system

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

The three loud bangs were like the first thunderclap at the beginning of chaos, far beyond anything that could be compared to in the mortal world.

That was the roar of the alien ruler from the other side of chaos, who, with his supreme power that surpassed all the heavens, slammed down heavily across the barrier of the primordial space.

Each impact was like Mount Buzhou collapsing and crashing into the universe.

The temporary barrier where Nuwa and Li Ziting, the incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, stood rippled violently, like boiling water.

The fragments of the Chaos Bell and the remnants of the Chaos Pearl, suspended high in the sky, now had their innate divine light, already dimmed by the previous fierce battle, become even weaker.

The golden "Dao" patterns engraved on the bell and the chaotic vortex flowing on the beads were all teetering on the verge of collapse in this tremor. Even the innate spiritual energy that was dissipating became disordered fragments, which were swept around and bumped about by the airflow.

Nuwa stood in the void, her white skirt billowing in the raging winds within the barrier.

As her clothes fluttered, a trace of lingering innate spiritual energy remained on her exposed fair wrist.

—That was the aftershock of her attempt to gather power, which was disrupted by the devastating news of Lingzhu'er's demise, ultimately causing her to collapse.

The faint purple aura of innate primordial energy between her brows, symbolizing the motherly spirit of creation, flickered uncertainly like a candle in the wind, while deep within her eyes surged...

It was a sense of regret, self-blame, and a barely perceptible sense of bewilderment.

This moment of stunned silence and inner turmoil is followed by an unexpected change!

The spatial rift that should have been nourished by the primordial Heavenly Dao with its own power and was slowly healing at a visible speed was completely out of control in the blink of an eye.

At first, only a few fine, hair-like silver-gray cracks appeared on the spatial barrier at the edge of the fissure. The cracks were permeated with wisps of chaotic energy so faint as to be almost invisible, much like inconspicuous flaws on porcelain.

But the next second, the cracks spread wildly like a spider web, and the cracking sounds were incessant, so sharp that they seemed to pierce the eardrums.

The crack, which was originally only a few feet wide, expanded to hundreds of feet in just three breaths.

The spatial barriers at the edge are like rocks weathered over millions of years, peeling away layer by layer to reveal the bottomless chaos and nothingness behind them.

There is no light, no time, no space, only absolute darkness that can devour all life and annihilate all laws. Even innate spiritual energy that gets close will be instantly shredded into nothingness.

What's even more frightening is that it's not just this crack that's out of control.

The void to the east, south, and north of the barrier caved inwards at the same time.

Black cracks, like the fangs of a giant beast, crisscrossed and crawled across the void.

The once-solid spatial barrier is now as fragile as glass that could shatter at the slightest touch.

The sounds of impact from the outside world changed from intermittent, muffled thunderous roars to a dense, resounding "thump-thump."

Each sound caused the entire barrier to shake violently, and Nuwa and Li Ziting, who were standing on it, could clearly feel the "creaking" groans coming from the void beneath their feet.

It seemed as if the temporary barrier would collapse completely and become part of the chaos in the next second.

even……

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar, far exceeding any of the previous booms, suddenly exploded!

The sound did not come from an external impact, but from the collapse of the void inside the barrier, as if the world had turned upside down and the universe had been overturned.

Even the fragments of the Chaos Bell and the remnants of the Chaos Pearl, which were suspended high in the sky, trembled violently in the loud noise, almost falling to the ground.

Li Ziting, the incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and Nuwa instinctively turned their heads at the same time, their gazes fixed on the void to their right.

The spatial barrier that was originally quite stable was suddenly broken by an immense force that was impossible to resist.

Then it tore open a huge abyss chasm that was over a hundred feet wide and bottomless!

The spatial barriers at the edge of the ravine remained intact, without cracking or peeling away...

Instead, it was directly crushed by that force, turning into visible white mist and dissipating into the void.

Immediately following, a chaotic sea, powerful enough to engulf everything and freeze time and space...

It burst through the air like a flood breaking through a dam from that deep abyss!

At first, it was just wisps of viscous, ink-like, and chilling chaotic air. They solidified upon landing and made a "sizzling" sound when they touched the innate spiritual energy.

In an instant, even more chaotic air surged in, converging in mid-air to form a roaring, black river.

Huge whirlpools surged in the river, each containing a power powerful enough to annihilate laws.

This chaotic river spread outwards at a visible speed, reaching thousands of miles away in just ten breaths.

The surging black waves on the river swept up all the remaining innate spiritual energy, broken fragments of magical artifacts, and even tiny fragments of spacetime that had escaped due to spatial collapse within the barrier.

In the blink of an eye, a boundless, chaotic ocean gathered on the right side of the barrier.

—The black seawater pounded against the remaining spatial barrier, making a "sizzling" sound as it melted away.

Each surge of the wave shrank the area of ​​the barrier by a fraction, and the aura of world destruction made it almost impossible for people to breathe.

"Space shouldn't be this fragile!"

Li Ziting suddenly turned around, and his usually calm and composed face finally revealed obvious excitement.

The golden Heavenly Dao divine patterns surrounding his body flickered violently, their light dazzling.

As the Divine Punishment Eyes in his eyes opened and closed, golden lightning flickered in their depths, a sign that the primordial Heavenly Dao was being touched.

His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anxiety, even forgetting to maintain the composure expected of the Heavenly Dao: "How could that alien ruler possibly break through space in such a short time? Where is Hongjun? What is he doing!"

He had every reason to be excited.

—The power of the new world floating in front of him contained his own Heavenly Dao origin, and the speed at which he refined it was countless times that of the Goddess Nuwa.

Even so, it would still take enough time to completely refine this nascent world power and condense it into a force comparable to that of the alien race's ruler.

In his original plan, this temporary barrier, supported by the Chaos Bell and the Chaos Pearl, had a time flow rate several hundred times faster than the outside world.

Even if a hundred years have passed outside, there are still ten thousand years here for him to calmly refine.

Time was sufficient for him to perfectly integrate the power of the new world with his own Heavenly Dao origin.

At that time, let alone one alien ruler, even if ten came, he was confident he could annihilate them.

But now?

From the time the barrier was established until now, according to internal time, it has only been a short period of time...

The alien ruler has actually broken through space, and even the Chaos Sea has surged into the barrier!

"Are those guys outside just sitting around doing nothing?"

Li Ziting's tone finally took on a hint of coldness, and his divine sense unconsciously penetrated the barrier.

He tried to probe the outside world, but all he encountered was a chaotic energy fluctuation.

"The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti... those guys who have attained sainthood, plus Dao Ancestor Hongjun, a group of people surrounding a foreign ruler, and they couldn't even stop him in a few days?"

He just couldn't understand it.

—With the combined might of the primordial saints and the Dao Ancestor overseeing things, even if the alien rulers are powerful, they should be able to hold out for a long time.

How could they have allowed the other side to break through the spatial barrier so easily?

Nuwa, seeing his slightly flustered appearance, slowly withdrew her gaze from the chaotic ocean, and the wisp of innate spiritual energy at her fingertips finally dissipated.

Her voice carried a hint of undisguised fatigue, yet it was exceptionally clear.

The words entered Li Ziting's ears one by one: "The flow of time has been synchronized with the outside world."

Li Ziting was startled, and the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns flashing around his body paused for a moment.

The divine eye in his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze towards Nuwa filled with scrutiny and doubt.

He absolutely refused to believe that the time flow of this barrier would fail for no reason.

"The flow of time here is accelerated a hundredfold only by relying on the primal power of the Chaos Bell and the Chaos Pearl,"

Nuwa raised her hand, her slender fingertips pointing to the fragments of the Chaos Bell and the remnants of the Chaos Pearl floating high in the sky.

—At this moment, the largest fragment of the Chaos Bell is covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

The once flowing golden bell patterns have become dull and lifeless, with only a few scattered points of light still proving that it was once a treasure of chaos.

Only seven or eight fragments of the Chaos Pearl remained, and the chaotic divine light on each fragment was so faint as to be almost invisible.

The once smooth bead is now sharp and angular, covered with signs of breakage.

"Not only the flow of time, but also the spatial defense array inside this barrier, from its foundation to its runes, is entirely supported by the essence of these two Chaos Treasures."

Her voice paused, the pain in her eyes intensified, her clenched fist tightened slightly, and her tone became resolute: "But now, both of these treasures are broken. The formation that supports the acceleration of time has lost its source, so it will naturally collapse."

"Without the foundation for maintaining space defense, it will naturally assimilate with the outside world."

"Besides... if it weren't for forcibly maintaining the flow of time and spatial defense, how could the Six-Eyed Demon God have shattered the Chaos Bell and Chaos Pearl so easily? My Spirit Pearl wouldn't have perished like that!"

Her voice trembled slightly when she said the name "Lingzhu'er".

There were tears welling up in the depths of her beautiful eyes, but she held them back.

—The Chaos Bell and the Chaos Pearl, as supreme treasures of chaos that existed before the creation of the world, possess defensive capabilities sufficient to withstand a full-force attack from a saint or higher.

However, in order to support this barrier, at least half of their original power was forcibly diverted to maintain the sealing defense and time acceleration array.

This is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm, leaving only half of the power to protect Lingzhu'er.

If these two treasures can provide full defense, even if the Six-Eyed Demon God is incredibly powerful...

Even if Lingzhu'er holds the Chaos Bell and carries the Chaos Pearl, she will never have her soul shattered, leaving her with no chance of reincarnation!

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns around Li Ziting instantly subsided, and the excitement and anxiety in his eyes receded like a tide, leaving him suddenly silent.

He stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on the shattered fragments of the Chaos Treasures. After a long while, he slowly closed the Eye of Divine Punishment within his eyes.

—The moment his golden eyes closed, the last trace of restlessness around him vanished without a trace.

When he opened his eyes again, all that remained in those eyes was a cold indifference.

His face regained its usual solemnity, even carrying a hint of ruthless indifference, as if the person who had just lost his composure and was agitated had never been him.

His divine sense swept across the ever-expanding chaotic ocean, and then over the shattered chaotic treasure high in the sky.

Finally, the energy landed on the newly formed world power radiating a soft light in front of him.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

His voice was calm and even, yet carried an undeniable resolve: "It seems I underestimated that alien race and the impact of the shattered Chaos Treasure. In that case, I will no longer hold back and will devote all my efforts to refining this power of creation—Nuwa, you'd better not interfere with me during this time."

He naturally knew that actively activating his own Heavenly Dao Origin to draw upon and refine the power of the new world would be at least ten times faster than his body passively and naturally digesting it.

He didn't do this at first, partly to guard against Nuwa.

—After all, the Goddess Nuwa holds the power of creation. If she were to interfere at the crucial moment when he was refining his power, even a tiny bit of her power could cause him to fail at the last hurdle, or even backfire on him.

Secondly, he also factored the time flow of the barrier into his plan.

He thought that with the hundredfold flow rate, even if he was passively refining it, it would be enough for him to perfectly integrate the power of the new world and condense a power that could crush his opponent before the alien ruler broke through space.

But now, the whole plan is in chaos.

With the Chaos Bell and Chaos Pearl shattered, the flow of time plummeted from a hundredfold to synchronize with the outside world, and the alien ruler broke through the spatial barrier ahead of schedule.

The chaotic sea has already surged into the barrier.

Everything was beyond his expectations.

Initially, he still had doubts about the broken Chaos Bell and Chaos Pearl.

After all, it was a Chaos Treasure. Even if the Six-Eyed Demon God was powerful, it shouldn't have been shattered in one blow.

He even secretly remained vigilant, wary that the fragments of these two treasures might contain some unknown trump card or a backup plan.

But after hearing Nuwa's explanation, he finally understood.

—It turns out that it wasn't that the Chaos Treasures weren't strong enough, but rather that half of their power was diverted to maintain spatial flow and defense, essentially leaving them to fight with weakened bodies, which is why they were easily shattered by the Six-Eyed Demon God.

Having figured this out, Li Ziting no longer hesitated.

The divine runes around his body suddenly surged, and golden light gushed out like a tide.

In an instant, it enveloped his body and then spread outwards, enveloping the power of the new world in front of him, transforming it into a huge cocoon of light with a diameter of tens of feet.

On the surface of the cocoon of light, countless complex Heavenly Dao runes flowed rapidly, each rune frantically absorbing the power of creation from the new world.

Golden light intertwined with the soft white light of the newborn world.

A visible energy vortex quickly formed, making the refining speed ten or even a hundred times faster than before.

Nuwa looked at him as he devoted himself to refining the material, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

There was hesitation about wanting to attack him, grief over Lingzhu'er's demise, and a trace of worry about the future of the prehistoric world.

But in the end, she sighed softly and turned to look at the chaotic ocean that was constantly eroding the barrier.

A wisp of innate spiritual energy condensed again at her pale fingertips, and with a distant tap, a layer of pale blue light appeared on the remaining spatial barrier.

—That was a defense she had condensed from her own primordial origin.

Although not as sturdy as the Chaos Treasures, it can still temporarily stop the expansion of the Chaos Sea.

Although she was grieving, she knew that this was not the time for infighting. Guarding the barrier and waiting for Li Ziting to finish refining the power of creation was the only way for the primordial world to survive.

Above that chaotic ocean, black waves continued to crash wildly against the pale blue light screen, emitting a hissing sound as they melted away.

The sounds of impact from the outside world continued to be as dense as drums, each one causing the barrier to shake and tremble.

The cold, domineering aura of the alien ruler, capable of annihilating everything, faintly emanated through the deep abyss.

Nuwa silently closed her eyes.

Lingzhu, don't worry...

I will avenge you.
