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

The chaotic sea is shrouded in darkness.

The dark purple, chaotic air current surged and churned like boiling magma.

Each wisp of air carried a terrifying power capable of annihilating stars and tearing apart laws, leaving behind twisted black cracks as it swept through the void.

—Those are marks where even space itself has been scorched.

The goddess Nuwa, dressed in a seven-colored Nuwa robe, floats in the void, her fair hands holding up a map of mountains and rivers.

We are currently facing the most dangerous crisis since the beginning of time.

The scroll was about ten feet square, and the silk surface was outlined with the innate Daoist charm, depicting the vast mountains and rivers of the primordial world, and the immortal mist of Kunlun Jade Pool.

The magnificent palaces of Yingzhou in the East Sea and the bustling life of the people of Jambudvipa in the South are all vividly depicted.

Furthermore, innate spiritual light flows like water between the patterns, protecting the stability of the small world within.

But at this moment, the invisible chaotic constraints, like a pair of iron clamps, are squeezing the scroll from all directions.

The cloud patterns on the edge of the silk surface have begun to crack inch by inch, turning into tiny streams of light that dissipate into the chaotic sea.

The illusory images of mountains and rivers within the picture shook violently, and the outline of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain became blurred under the erosion of chaotic power.

The celestial mist of Yaochi was tinged with dark purple, and even the jade pillars of the Qionglou Pavilion in Yingzhou developed spiderweb-like cracks.

The entire scroll resembled a flickering candle in a storm, its brilliance fading at a visible speed.

Even the flowing innate spiritual light became extremely weak under the scouring of the chaotic energy.

It teetered precariously in the dark purple waves, emitting a mournful buzzing sound.

—That was the mournful cry of the very essence of Lingbao resisting annihilation.

It should be noted that the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was created after the creation of the world.

One of the strongest innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world.

From the moment of its birth, it was by the side of the goddess Nuwa, accompanying her as she molded humans from clay, and thus accumulating immeasurable merits from the human race.

When the sky was mended, it absorbed the richness of the Nine Heavens' Breath Soil and the spiritual essence of the Five-Colored Stone.

The word "creation" has long been engraved into the original Dao pattern.

Ordinary chaotic power dissolves upon contact, and even a full-force attack from an ordinary saint would hardly harm it in the slightest.

At this moment, the absolute chaotic power emanating from the alien ruler's body...

Yet, like a poison that corrodes the bones, it transforms into countless tiny, dark purple threads...

It was slowly seeping into the scroll's protective aura, drilling into the silk surface along the cracked cloud patterns, and began to gnaw at the very essence of the mountains and rivers within the scroll.

—Thirty percent of the human activity was instantly extinguished, and the waves of the East China Sea froze into dark purple ice.

Even the mountain and river formations outlined by the innate Dao patterns became obscure under the entanglement of chaotic threads.

It let out a low groan of unbearable strain, clearly unable to withstand this overwhelming power.

But the most fatal thing is...

The alien overlord's body, which covered half of the chaotic sea, moved slightly, and its two giant hands, covered in black chaotic aura, slowly unfolded.

Each knuckle of that hand was forged from chaotic black iron, and fragments of galaxies remained in the crevices of its fingernails.

The moment it was unfurled, it stirred the primordial power deep within the Chaos Sea.

In an instant, the chaotic air currents above the sky churned violently.

Two dark shadows, obscuring the sky, fell from the air currents.

—They were two colossal chaotic beasts, their bodies comparable in size to ancient divine mountains!

The giant beast on the left resembles a Taotie, but it has no eyes or nose, only a huge mouth that takes up half of its face.

Its mouth was filled with fangs about a foot long, each fang emanating an intense, chaotic aura.

Dark purple saliva dripped from the tips of its fangs, making a sizzling sound as it fell into the void, corroding small black holes in the space.

The one on the right resembled a Qiongqi, its entire body covered in layers of dark purple scales.

Chaotic flames erupted from the gaps in its scales, and its four claws were as sharp as scimitars.

The claw tip was wreathed in distorted fluctuations of law, causing even the flow of time around it to become sluggish.

As soon as the two giant beasts appeared, they pounced on the Mountain and River Map.

The fangs, imbued with a chaotic aura, stood on either side, like two moving chaotic mountains...

It bit down hard on the scroll's spiritual light!

"boom--"

The moment the innate spiritual light collided with the fangs of chaos, a deafening roar erupted that shook the entire chaotic sea.

The spiritual light shattered like glass, turning into countless points of light, while the Chaos Fangs remained unharmed. Instead, they used the force of the collision to firmly clamp down on both sides of the scroll.

Nuwa's heart tightened, and her seven-colored Nuwa robe instantly burst forth with dazzling light.

The laws of creation surrounding him danced like colorful ribbons, continuously pouring into the landscape painting.

—She will use the power of "creation" to repair the cracks in the scroll and resist the erosion of chaotic energy.

However, the two laws of creation had barely touched the scroll when they were entangled by the dark purple aura on the Chaos Fangs.

The colorful ribbon, as if encountering a blazing fire, was instantly dyed dark purple...

Even the laws of creation themselves began to crumble.

What terrified her even more was that the two chaotic beasts seemed to be living "chaotic laws".

They didn't regard the Map of Mountains and Rivers as a magical treasure at all; instead, they treated it like a pastry!

The gluttonous beast on the left suddenly shook its head and ripped open its massive jaws.

The illusory image of the magnificent island on the right side of the scroll was instantly devoured.

It even swallowed the innate spiritual light, which turned into a wisp of dark purple mist and merged into its scales.

Not to be outdone, the colossal beast on the right pressed its claws down on the left side of the scroll.

The giant mouth opened and closed repeatedly, revealing the illusory image of Kunlun Mountain and the celestial mist of Yaochi...

It even devoured the last wisp of primordial yang energy from the small world within the diagram.

—In less than three breaths, most of the precious light emanating from the Mountain and River Map was devoured.

Only a blurry phantom of the Southern Continent remained on the silk surface, even the original Dao patterns were exposed, trembling under the power of chaos.

"No!"

Nuwa, the goddess, paled and hurriedly began to cast a spell to create magic.

She wanted to rekindle the power of the Mountain and River Map with her own essence.

But as soon as his fingertips touched the scroll, he felt a deathly chill.

—At this moment, the landscape painting resembles a soulless puppet...

The silk surface became completely dull, and even the last wisp of innate spiritual light vanished without a trace.

The small world within the image completely collapsed, dissipating into wisps of grayish-white air.

It no longer resisted; instead, as if it were exhausted, it automatically curled up to the size of a palm.

It floated lightly back into Nuwa's palm, its touch icy cold, devoid of any of the agility of a primordial treasure.

Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly tumbled out from the crevice of the scroll.

—It was Li Ziting, who had previously hidden in the small world within the map.

He was still bathed in pale blue lightning, the power of which stubbornly resisted the erosion of the chaotic aura.

However, the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and his pale face revealed that he had also suffered serious injuries when the small world inside the map collapsed.

"Why can't it be activated?"

Nuwa looked down at the unresponsive landscape map in her palm.

Her jade fingers moved rapidly across the scroll, attempting to communicate with the source of the spiritual treasure through her mind.

But all that answered her was a deathly silence of darkness.

—The original Dao patterns of the Mountain and River Map were nearly half eaten up by the Chaos Beast.

She was now completely asleep and could not even respond to her master's summons.

At the critical moment, the goddess Nuwa suddenly looked up and raised her fair hand.

A streak of crimson light flew out from the sleeve.

—It was her other top-grade spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball.

The hydrangea was about the size of a human head, with rings of crimson flame patterns swirling around its surface.

The moment it appeared, it emitted a scorching heat wave that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, crashing down on the gluttonous, chaotic behemoth that was licking its fangs.

While urging the red embroidered ball, she was still trying desperately to awaken the Mountain and River Map.

But when one probes into the scroll with one's mind, all that remains is a cold, deathly silence.

At that moment, Nuwa's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before the red embroidered ball could hit the gluttonous beast, it suddenly turned its head.

With its massive mouth open, a dark purple suction force erupted from it.

The red embroidered ball suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if it were bound by invisible chains.

It was abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the gluttonous beast's massive jaws snapped down.

Although it did not touch the embroidered ball, the chaotic power transformed into an invisible giant maw that bit directly into the flame patterns on the red embroidered ball!

"Zizi-"

The crimson flame patterns were instantly swallowed by the dark purple chaotic power, and the heat wave on the surface of the hydrangea subsided at a visible speed.

Even the swirling primordial fire essence weakened under the compression of the chaotic power.

The alarm bells rang loudly in the heart of the goddess Nuwa.

"This is bad! This isn't ordinary devouring; it's compression devouring at the rule level!"

She hurriedly made a hand seal, trying to recall the red embroidered ball back to her palm.

But at that moment, a cold voice resounded throughout the chaotic sea.

"Hmph, Nuwa, do you think you can escape from me with such meager skills?"

The figure of the alien ruler spoke from the chaotic air currents.

His black, pupil-less eyes stared at Nuwa, his tone full of disdain.

"This chaotic behemoth is the manifestation of my chaotic origin."

"Their devouring is my will."

"Don't even mention your single red embroidered ball; even your entire cultivation source, if I wanted, I could have them devour it all!"

Before the words were even finished, the two chaotic behemoths suddenly moved.

The gluttonous beast extended its left claw, while the qiongqi-shaped beast stretched out its right claw.

Four chaotic claws covered in scales crossed in the air, transforming into a dark purple Four Symbols Trapping Array.

They firmly blocked all four escape routes of the red embroidered ball: up, down, left, and right.

Immediately afterwards, the Qiongqi-shaped giant beast suddenly raised its head and bit down with its huge mouth out of thin air.

—This bite clearly didn't touch the red embroidered ball, yet the crimson flame patterns on its surface...

It was missing a corner.

Even the sphere woven from phoenix feathers had a tiny piece eaten away.

It revealed the pale golden essence of the spiritual treasure within, along with the piece that had been gnawed away.

It transformed into a wisp of dark purple energy in the void and merged into the scales of the Qiongqi behemoth!

"How can it be!"

Nuwa gasped in shock, her jade-like face showing disbelief for the first time.

“My Red Embroidered Ball… has stable Dao patterns and a profound origin. Even a saint’s full-force attack would hardly damage its surface. Yet that giant beast… was able to devour the ball’s feathers and Dao patterns along with it?”

This scene instantly reminded her of the Mosquito Taoist from the ancient times.

—That innate alien species that feeds on the source of life relied on a "Soul-Devouring Fang" back then.

It forcibly devoured three petals of the "Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Creation," a treasure of the Western Religion.

The golden lotus was originally formed from the core of the Chaos Green Lotus, and its grade far exceeded that of ordinary top-grade spiritual treasures, yet it was still devoured by the Mosquito Daoist.

He fell from the twelfth rank to the ninth rank.

It was precisely because the twelve golden lotuses that were lost from suppressing the religion's fate that the Western Religion's karmic obstacles had no way to be released.

From this point on, prosperity inevitably leads to decline.

Later, Nezha was able to scheme against the Western Sect single-handedly, almost destroying it.

On the surface, it is Nezha's heaven-defying combat power and wisdom, but in reality, it is Nuwa's lineage that, by taking advantage of the merits of the human race and the merits of mending the sky, has already completely crushed the Western religion in terms of fortune and merit.

—If the Western religion still has the twelve-petaled golden lotus.

With a stable religious order and no karmic obstacles, even if Nezha were to defy the heavens, he would never be able to shake its foundation.

Not to mention what will happen when the Western religion tries to suppress humanity at will in the future.

During the reign of Emperor Wu Geng, he was able to send a large army to destroy thousands of temples of the Western Sect in the prehistoric world, thanks to the layered blessing of the human race's fortune.

As they marched westward, the army nearly reached the foot of Mount Ling.

It was that battle that weakened the Western Religion's fortune and influence in the primordial world to the extreme, forcing it to remain confined to a small corner of the world ever since.

But at this moment, the giant beast manifested by the alien ruler from the origin of chaos also has the ability to directly devour the origin of spiritual treasures, just like the Mosquito Taoist.

—And they are even more terrifying than mosquito-like beings.

Even the Mosquito Daoist needs to touch the spiritual treasure to eat it, but this Chaos Beast can devour Dao patterns and origins from a distance with just the power of chaos!

This realization filled Nuwa with an indescribable fear.

—If even top-grade spiritual treasures can be devoured like this.

Will her very essence, and even her own saintly Dao fruit, also be unable to escape the fate of being devoured?

"Come back quickly! Red Embroidered Ball, return at once!"

Nuwa shouted urgently.

The laws of creation within his body circulated wildly, and the seven-colored rays of light transformed into a giant hand.

It reached for the red embroidered ball, trying to forcibly recall it.

But the two chaotic behemoths had already blocked their retreat, and the Taotie behemoth swung its left claw.

A dark purple, chaotic ribbon wrapped around the ribbon of the red embroidered ball.

With a slap of its right claw, the Qiongqi beast conjured a cage of chaotic flames, trapping the embroidered ball in its center.

No matter how Nuwa activated her magic, the red embroidered ball remained motionless.

They could only watch helplessly as the Qiongqi beast opened its mouth again and devoured another small piece of the sphere, causing the pale golden light of its origin to grow increasingly faint.

Nuwa gritted her teeth, unleashing all the laws of creation within her.

The seven-colored ribbons transformed into endless chains of laws, surging towards the two chaotic behemoths like a tidal wave.

—She intends to use the laws of creation to imprison the giant beast.

Then tear through the shackles of chaos and reclaim the red embroidered ball!

But just as the chains of law were about to touch the giant beast's scales, the alien overlord's massive hand, covered in black scales...

It emerged again from the chaotic airflow and slowly pressed down in the direction of Nuwa.

"Om-"

An indescribable repulsive force instantly enveloped Nuwa.

She felt as if she had been thrown into a boiling, chaotic furnace, the surrounding space violently distorted...

Every inch of the void repelled her existence; even the breath she exhaled was annihilated the moment it came into contact with the space.

The chain of creation laws surging towards the giant beast had only flown three feet before it was squeezed apart inch by inch by the spatial repulsion force. The power of the laws dissipated in the air and was directly swallowed up by the chaotic airflow.

Nuwa let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

—The spatial repulsion not only weakened her attack, but also backfired on her saintly essence.

She quickly suppressed her aura and recalled the dissipated laws of creation back into her body.

Let the colorful rays of light surround and gather around you, turning into a thin layer of light.

She managed to stabilize the repelled space, but her delicate hands trembled slightly from the effort of resisting.

The chaotic sea continued to churn, and the two giant beasts were still gnawing on the red embroidered ball.

The map of mountains and rivers lay lifeless in his palm, while the giant hand of the alien ruler continued to slowly press down...
