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

"blocked?"

The voice of the alien ruler seemed to come from the ancient chaos, carrying an indifferent indifference that crushed all living beings.

But at this moment, beneath that indifference, a faint hint of surprise appeared for the first time.

His giant hand, covered in chaotic energy, was powerful enough to crush stars.

It had just unleashed a world-destroying chaotic power, which blasted towards Li Ziting, who was enveloped by the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao.

But when they touched that thin layer of light and shadow, they dissolved into each other.

His deep vertical pupils slowly narrowed, and the crimson light flowing within them suddenly froze.

His sharp gaze, almost tangible, swept over the two treasures that floated in the void, protecting Li Ziting completely.

-

The tower overhead was entirely dark yellow, and its body consisted of nine stories.

Each layer of the tower's eaves is carved with intricate cloud patterns, while the tower itself is engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants, birds, and animals.

Those patterns were not inanimate objects, but rather slowly undulating with the primordial purple energy flowing through the tower...

It seemed as if it would leap off the tower at any moment and create a real world.

The aura emanating from the tower was as profound as the very foundation of the entire primordial land.

It was a suppressive force that was "impervious to all laws and unbreakable by all forces".

Even when the chaotic power of the alien ruler swept over it, it was blocked by the Xuanhuang Qi waves that spontaneously overflowed from the tower, keeping it three feet away.

Even the dust on the tower couldn't be stirred up by the wind.

—That is Laozi's most precious treasure, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Outside the Linglong Tower, there is a layer of constantly flowing light and shadow.

The light and shadow were in black and white, transforming into a pair of yin-yang fish with their heads and tails connected.

There is a point of golden light in each of the fish's eyes. As the two fish rotate, the black and white energies intermingle and transform into each other.

Finally, a closed-loop light shield is formed.

The power unleashed by the alien overlord landed on the light barrier, and was first swallowed up by the black energy.

It was then dissolved by the white energy, leaving not even a trace of aftershock.

It's like it never existed.

That is the Taiji Diagram, the supreme treasure of the Three Pure Ones who attained enlightenment.

The tower is surrounded by layers of innate treasures and defensive artifacts.

The black and white energies intertwined with the dark yellow energy waves to form a net, building up the body's defenses to a point where they were completely impenetrable and flawless.

"It's you?"

The gaze of the alien ruler finally pierced through the light and shadow of the treasure and landed on the figure that had quietly appeared behind it.

The figure was not tall, and wore a Tai Chi robe with intricate yin-yang fish patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

She wore a simple belt around her waist, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

There was no hint of fierceness about him; instead, he exuded an aura as gentle as a mountain spring or a forest breeze.

It carries a gentle and peaceful charm.

Yet this seemingly ordinary figure caused the alien ruler's divine sense to surge like a tidal wave.

The scrolls of past memories were rapidly flipped through in his sea of ​​consciousness, with images recording the top combat forces of the primordial world flashing by one by one.

Finally, from among billions of pieces of information, the mark corresponding to this figure was identified.

"Taiqing?"

Li Ziting (the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao) was terrified, as if struck by a thunderbolt.

His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment.

The figure before me had wide sleeves and a long belt, and the Tai Chi diagram on his Taoist robe exuded a faint aura of purity and holiness.

The Daoist aura surrounding him was clearly that of the Taiqing Saint, one of the Three Pure Ones, who had long since transcended the position of the Heavenly Dao Saint!

But hadn't he already vanished into the depths of the Chaos Sea?

In order to break free from the shackles of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, Taiqing Saint shattered his Sainthood.

Thus, the connection with the Heavenly Way was severed.

Carrying the Taiji diagram and the Linglong Pagoda, he ventured alone into the Chaos Sea, declaring that he would "seek a Great Dao that does not rely on the Heavenly Dao."

There was no further news from them.

Heaven believed that he had transcended this universe.

But at this critical juncture of survival, why did they suddenly appear here?

"It's Pindao."

The Sage of Taiqing spoke slowly.

The voice was calm and even, yet clear as a mountain stream and deep as the sound of pine trees, carrying a warmth and weight that had been accumulated over millions of years.

His gaze first swept over Li Ziting, a faint trace of composure flashing in his eyes.

He then slowly turned to the alien ruler, his calm, unwavering eyes...

The first ripples appeared—a testament to the protection of the homeland and compassion for all living beings.

"I was born from the primordial earth and attained enlightenment atop Mount Kunlun."

"At the Eight Views Palace, one can attain enlightenment, and one's foundation, soul, and heart all originate from this primordial wilderness."

"Now that the primordial world is suffering such a great calamity, hundreds of millions of living beings are about to turn to ashes."

"Although I have transcended the Heavenly Dao, I will not watch the primordial world perish."

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry a certain mysterious Taoist charm.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire interior space.

"Didn't you already give up your position as a Heavenly Saint and shatter your Sainthood? Why is your aura so powerful?"

Li Ziting's divine sense instantly spread out, completely enveloping the aura surrounding the Taiqing Saint.

The shock in his heart grew stronger, and even his voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, the Supreme Sage was surrounded by a flow of Daoist energy.

That aura was no longer the "vastness" it had when he was a Heavenly Saint, but rather a kind of "profoundness".

—It was as if the entire chaos and the whole universe had been absorbed into his body.

Every breath carries the primordial energy of the beginning of chaos.

With each raise of his hand, it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars were flowing through his palm.

That power was vast and boundless, and was in no way weaker than his incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

Even in terms of its heritage, it is superior!

You must know that he has now fused with the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao.

Although he did not fully control it, he still possessed strength surpassing that of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Yet, in front of the Supreme Sage, he sensed a hint of "danger".

According to the laws of nature, theoretically speaking...

The Great Purity Sage who relinquished his status as a sage and severed his connection with the Heavenly Dao.

Their strength should remain at its peak forever, and may even gradually decline due to the loss of the nourishment of the Heavenly Dao, making further breakthroughs impossible.

But the Taiqing Sage before them had an even more profound aura than before.

It even faintly exudes a profound artistic conception that can transcend the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

That is a kind of "freedom" that is not bound by the laws of nature or restricted by the laws of nature.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has not achieved this level of artistic conception!

This completely overturned his understanding of the realm of saints, and also overturned the entire cultivation system of the prehistoric world.

"The position of Heavenly Saint is nothing but a shackle to me."

The Sage of Taiqing gently shook his head, without directly answering Li Ziting's question.

His tone remained calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

“I shattered my own position in order to break free from these shackles.”

"Now, I have simply walked my own path—a path that does not rely on the way of heaven, but only on my own heart and only follows the great way."

He changed the subject, turned slightly to the side, and looked at Li Ziting.

His tone suddenly became more serious, and his calm eyes held a hint of expectation and solemnity.

"This alien ruler's cultivation has reached the level of a Chaos Demon God."

"He also possesses the power to control an entire world; with your current strength, you are no match for him."

After a pause, the Sage Taiqing continued, "He will be temporarily stopped by this humble Taoist."

"Quickly enter the Taiji Diagram and hasten to fully refine the newly born Heavenly Dao power."

"This great calamity cannot be broken without the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the final solution to break the deadlock still rests on your shoulders."

Upon hearing this, Li Ziting's expression suddenly hardened.

In an instant, I understood the deeper meaning behind the words of the Sage of Taiqing.

This is not "obstruction" at all; it is clearly the Holy One of Taiqing telling him.

Although I have the strength to fight, I can only barely hold him off and may not be able to win.

With your current strength, you absolutely cannot win.

All I can do is buy you some time to refine the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao.

As for whether you can ultimately defeat the alien races and preserve the primordial world, it all depends on whether you, who have complete control over the newly born Heavenly Dao, can unleash overwhelming power.

He looked at the Supreme Saint, the former first saint of the primordial world.

Although he was dressed simply, he stood like a majestic mountain, shielding him from the towering waves ahead.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart, but it was quickly replaced by a heavy sense of responsibility.

Even though he was an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao devoid of emotions, Li Ziting felt the influence of emotions at this moment.

Who says Heaven is heartless?

"This Taiji diagram of mine is a supreme innate treasure."

"It contains chaotic energy, forming its own small world."

"This small world not only contains complete spatial laws, but also can trigger the laws of time to accelerate the flow of time."

"If you go inside and refine the newly born Heavenly Dao power, you can save a lot of time."

As he finished speaking, the Sage of Taiqing gently turned his fingers.

The Tai Chi diagram suspended in the air suddenly burst forth with boundless radiance, and the black and white energies were no longer a closed-loop light shield.

Instead, it transformed into a soft band of light, slowly enveloping Li Ziting.

This scene was exactly the same as when the Goddess Nuwa protected him with the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

However, the profound mystery of the Tai Chi diagram far surpasses that of the Mountain and River Map.

Although the Mountain and River Map is also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, capable of manifesting mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars, it can even trap enemies within the world depicted in the map.

But it is ultimately only at the "spiritual treasure" level.

Although the principles in the diagram are complete, they cannot surpass the Tai Chi diagram.

The Tai Chi diagram is a primordial treasure, a divine artifact born at the beginning of chaos.

The microcosm within the diagram has more complete rules than the Mountain and River Map.

It is even better in areas such as space defense.

The difference between a supreme innate treasure and a top-grade spiritual treasure may seem to be only one word, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

The former is the embodiment of "Tao," sufficient to suppress the Heavenly Way and evolve chaos.

The latter is the manifestation of "law" and can only evolve supernatural powers within the framework of the Heavenly Way.

The difference between the two is like that between the bright moon and a firefly; they are not comparable.

Li Ziting was enveloped by the band of light, and his figure slowly merged into the Tai Chi diagram.

The moment he stepped into the world within the map, he felt a warm, chaotic energy envelop him.

The surrounding spatial laws became incredibly gentle, and the flow of time suddenly accelerated.

His last glance fell upon the Sage Taiqing, and he saw that the other's eyes were filled with expectation and solemnity.

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and turned to sink into the depths of the Tai Chi diagram.

He sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra.

He began to fully circulate the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao and started a frenzied refining process.

After Li Ziting fully entered the Taiji Diagram, the Sage of Taiqing waved his sleeve.

The radiance of the Tai Chi diagram subsided, transforming back into a black and white light and shadow that hovered behind him.

The exquisite nine-story tower slowly rose, hovering three feet above his head.

The spire pointed downwards, and waves of primordial yellow energy cascaded down like a waterfall, completely protecting him.
