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

The Sage of Taiqing stood in the primordial sea, his Taoist robe with wide sleeves like clouds hanging from the sky.

The innate Daoist aura surrounding him was as gentle as flowing water, yet he never once activated the Taiji diagram to launch any attack.

His eyes were slightly closed, and there was no trace of anxiety between his brows. Only the Tai Chi diagram hanging in front of him slowly rotated.

The black and white fish in the picture have distinct scales and claws, and their tail fins ripple with visible Daoist principles as they gently sway.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is using softness to overcome hardness.

By using the Yin-Yang transformation of the Tai Chi diagram to deflect and delay, they were giving Li Ziting a last chance to reshape the Heavenly Dao.

But this "delay" was seen as a laughable futile effort by the alien ruler.

The sovereign's form resembled a towering black mountain, and the swirling chaotic aura around him was far beyond anything ordinary chaotic energy could possess.

Instead, it was a solidified, pitch-black "annihilating chaotic energy," each wisp of which carried the ferocity to tear apart time and space and obliterate the Great Dao.

He snorted coldly, and his right arm suddenly shot forward, causing the chaotic energy around him to surge like a raging sea.

Layer upon layer, the waves surged higher than ten thousand feet, crashing down on the Tai Chi diagram with a deafening roar, without the slightest hesitation!

"Om-"

The Taiji diagram, struck by this powerful blow, immediately emitted a clear, resounding cry that echoed through the chaos.

The yin-yang fish in the picture suddenly abandoned their previous leisurely demeanor, their tail fins thrashing wildly, and their scales gleaming with a dazzling black and white light.

The black and white energies, like two rushing rivers, intertwine and entwine on the surface of the painting.

Finally, it transformed into a semi-transparent curtain of light and shadow.

The chaotic energy wave crashed against the light barrier, but was abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Ripples surged wildly across the surface of the light curtain, layer upon layer of waves dismantling and transforming the destructive power of the chaotic energy, turning black energy into white energy, and white energy into black energy.

In the blink of an eye, the attack that was powerful enough to shatter an ordinary innate spiritual treasure was completely neutralized by the Yin-Yang transformation power of the Taiji Diagram.

The aftershocks dissipated into the void, stirring only a few insignificant folds in space.

But before the Supreme Saint could catch his breath, ten thousand rays of light suddenly shot up from above his head.

A pagoda, entirely dark yellow and the size of a fist, slowly emerged.

The pagoda was surrounded by three thousand fine strands of primordial purple energy, each strand of which seemed to move as if it were alive.

The tower is covered with ancient runes, which is his other treasured innate treasure - the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Tower.

As soon as the tower appeared, a heavy, mountain-like pressure spread out, with the base of the tower hanging steadily above the Tai Chi diagram.

The primordial energy poured down from the bottom of the tower, merging and intertwining with the yin and yang energies of the Taiji diagram.

One tower, one map; one for defense, one for protection.

The primordial energy of Xuanhuang governs "stability and immortality," while the yin and yang energies govern "flow and dissipation of force."

As the two intertwined, a semi-transparent double defensive barrier was woven in front of the Supreme Saint.

The surface of the barrier was covered with intricate patterns, completely isolating even the chaotic dust that roamed around it.

The alien ruler stared at the increasingly solid defense, a cold glint and understanding flashing in his scarlet pupils.

He extended his deep-set fingers, a wisp of extinguished chaos tentatively probing the barrier from his fingertips.

However, it was repelled by the Xuanhuang Qi, leaving not even a trace.

The combined defensive power of these two treasures is even stronger than the Mountain and River Map of Goddess Nuwa, which can evolve into a small world.

It was by no means a case of the alien rulers forcibly defeating them in a short period of time.

But he did not retreat; the primordial chaos energy around him continued to surge like a tidal wave.

The waves surged one after another, completely encompassing every inch of the Tai Chi diagram.

The spinning speed of the black and white Pisces has visibly slowed down, and faint blood-red cracks have even appeared on the edges of the image.

"We can't afford to waste any more time; we must find a way to break through!"

The alien overlord's mind raced, his crimson gaze sweeping across his back before finally settling on the six-eyed demon god standing to the side.

Each of the six-eyed demon gods had a different colored demonic flame flickering in its eye. When it saw the ruler looking at it, it immediately bowed, and the demonic flames in its six eyes subsided, adopting a submissive posture.

The alien ruler's voice was deep and resonant, like the striking of a millstone, carrying an undeniable majesty: "Six Eyes, I'm giving you one last chance."

"I would gladly die for you!"

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eyed Demon God suddenly looked up, and a fanatical light burst forth from his six eyes.

He clenched his fists and pounded them hard on his chest. "Thump! Thump!" The two muffled sounds shook the surrounding chaotic energy.

"Your subordinate is willing to give everything for Your Majesty, even if it means being annihilated, to help Your Majesty break through this defense!"

The alien ruler nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the double barriers of the Taiji diagram.

His tone carried a hint of seriousness.

"Both of these are innate defensive treasures, and it would take a lot of time to forcibly break through them."

"But we can't afford to wait."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed it to his chest, and the chaotic energy around him contracted sharply inward.

Then, a perfectly round pearl, about the size of a fist, was slowly pulled out of his body.

The moment the precious pearl appeared, the surrounding primordial chaos erupted violently as if it had encountered its nemesis.

Some were drawn to the pearl and transformed into streaks of light that merged into it.

Some were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, as if they were afraid of the power contained within the jewel.

The surface of the pearl has no patterns, yet it shimmers with a faint iridescent glow.

Deep within the glow of the sunset, countless tiny Daoist runes could be faintly seen flowing.

—That is a power of rules that is older and more fundamental than the primordial Heavenly Dao.

The six-eyed demon's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the precious pearl.

Their breathing became lighter.

The alien ruler's fingertips were shrouded in chaotic energy as he gently stroked the precious pearl, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of heartache.

"This is a 'small Great Dao Treasure Pearl' that I plundered from the depths of chaos and then refined with my own essence and blood."

"—The power of the rules contained within is enough to shake everything."

After saying that, he handed the precious pearl to the six-eyed demon god.

His left arm trembled violently, and thirty percent of the primordial chaos energy around him surged into the Great Dao Pearl like a rushing river.

Driven by this, the pearl suddenly shone with a burst of seven-colored light, and then made a soft "click" sound.

The chaotic void in front of the pearl was forcibly torn open, creating a crack about ten feet wide.

The inside of the crack was pitch black, but one could vaguely see the yin-yang Daoist principles that originated from the Tai Chi symbol flickering within.

—That's a passage that directly connects to the internal space of the Tai Chi diagram!

Long Liyi, who was hiding not far behind the alien overlord, trembled slightly at the moment.

A faint glint of light flashed deep within his eyes, so fleeting that it was impossible to catch.

She lowered her eyes, appearing submissive, but in reality, she kept everything in mind.

They didn't even overlook the intensity of the light from the Great Dao Pearl or the Daoist rhythm fluctuations within the cracks.

"This, this is..."

The six-eyed demon stared wide-eyed, his voice trembling slightly.

He could clearly sense that the spatial fluctuations at the other end of the crack completely overlapped with those of the Taiji diagram, as if he could step into the defensive core of those two treasures in one step.

"Using the power of the Great Dao Pearl's rules, I forcibly connected with the spatial laws within the Taiji Diagram, tearing open this passage."

As the alien ruler explained, his gaze suddenly shifted to Long Liyi, his scarlet pupils filled with scrutiny.

He always harbored doubts about this "foreign saintess," yet he also believed in the transformation that had already occurred.

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Six Eyes, you will follow the Holy Maiden into the Taiji Diagram space."

"Remember, your goal is not destruction, but the 'newborn Heavenly Dao power' hidden at the core of the Taiji diagram—take it back for me!"

"Your honor!"

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eyed Demon God's voice suddenly became urgent, and his six eyes were filled with shock.

"This Great Dao Pearl was your life-bound treasure that almost led you to enlightenment!"

"Have my subordinates take it inside, just in case..."

"Nothing unexpected!"

The alien ruler interrupted him sharply, his tone filled with a do-or-die determination.

"The primordial Heavenly Dao is about to be reshaped, and we have no time to worry about these things!"

"Quickly take it into the Taiji Diagram space. With the power of the Great Dao Pearl's rules suppressing it, the Yin and Yang energies of the Taiji Diagram will not hinder you."

"—Once you obtain the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao, withdraw immediately without fail!"

After saying that, he gave Long Liyi another deep look.

His gaze seemed to pierce through her skin and see into her heart.

After a full three breaths of silence, he slowly spoke, his tone several times more solemn than before: "This matter concerns the life and death of our alien world. Not a single step can be wrong. You... must be cautious."

Long Liyi raised her head slightly, her face still bearing that aloof expression.

But his tone carried an undeniable firmness.

"Your subordinate will certainly follow your orders and will never fail."

"Me too!"

The six-eyed demon god quickly followed, his chest straight, the demonic flames in his vertical pupils on his forehead reigniting, filled with determination.

"So good."

Seeing that the two had agreed, the alien overlord no longer hesitated. He flicked his finger and sent the Great Dao Pearl directly into the brow of the Six-Eyed Demon God.

As the precious pearl entered his body, the Six-Eyed Demon God was immediately enveloped in a faint seven-colored glow, echoing the ripples of the crack. "Go."

Without further hesitation, the Six-Eyed Demon God took a deep breath, and his demonic flames surged.

Then, taking the lead, his figure transformed into a streak of dark blue light and rushed straight into the spatial rift.

The crack trembled slightly, but did not close.

Long Liyi stood still, tilting her head slightly, looking at the alien ruler with a complicated expression.

She could sense that the ruler's wariness towards her had never disappeared.

This journey will likely be fraught with peril, with only a slim chance of survival.

This hesitation lasted only a moment, but it was noticed by the alien ruler.

He frowned, no longer giving her a chance to think.

A ball of condensed chaotic energy gathered in his palm, transforming into a semi-transparent ball of light.

With a sudden shove forward, he tightly wrapped around Long Liyi's body and, before she could resist, forcefully sent her into the crevice.

"call--"

Only when the crack slowly closed did the alien ruler breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the chaotic energy of annihilation surrounding him grew increasingly violent, and his gaze was fixed on the Taiqing Saint's double defenses.

His crimson pupils were filled with a ruthless determination: "Taiqing, no matter how strong your defense is, it can't stop me from undermining your strength... I will definitely seize this newly born power of the Heavenly Dao!"

Inside the Taiji diagram, in the space where Yin and Yang energies intertwine, the Six-Eyed Demon God felt the Great Dao Pearl burning between his brows as soon as he landed.

As the ruler had said, the surrounding Yin-Yang principles were indeed wary of him.

Not far away, Long Liyi, who was enveloped by the chaotic light, slowly broke free from her restraints.

"That bastard Li Ziting is right in the center of the space, Six-Eyed! Hurry up and reclaim the power of the newly born Heavenly Dao!"

The moment Long Liyi stepped out of the crevice, she completely abandoned her previous subservience to the alien ruler.

She stood in the void where yin and yang energies intertwined, her skirt fluttering in the air currents.

The tone, however, remained as condescending as ever, carrying an authoritative air that left no room for argument.

—It was as if she wasn't under the same ruler as Six-Eyed, but rather a master who was above him.

The six-eyed demon god had just regained his footing when he heard this, and a hint of anger flashed in his six eyes.

His facial muscles twitched, and the demonic flames in his vertical pupils on his forehead pulsed more rapidly.

—He was originally the strongest fighter under the alien ruler, and in terms of seniority and strength, he was far superior to Long Liyi.

Now, how can one feel comfortable having to be bossed around by this woman?

But he clenched his teeth and ultimately suppressed his anger.

The most important thing right now is to reclaim the power of the newly reborn Heavenly Dao. The Lord is still locked in a stalemate with the Supreme Saint outside, and we must not let this petty squabble ruin everything.

"Hmph, once I've completed my master's mission, I'll have a proper 'discussion' with you and see just how high your airs as a saintess really are!"

The Six-Eyed Demon God grunted, his voice filled with suppressed rage.

But that could be considered as agreeing to her request.

He knew perfectly well why his lord insisted on sending the dragon pear garment along with it.

—It's simply because they're afraid that if he sees Li Ziting, old grudges will resurface.

They were so engrossed in the fighting that they forgot about the important matter at hand.

Furthermore, Long Liyi possesses the power of the primordial earth; with her around, they can guard against some of Li Ziting's supernatural abilities, thus avoiding wasting more time.

Having grasped this point, the Six-Eyed Demon God no longer hesitated, and suddenly raised his head, letting out a roar that shook the entire Taiji diagram space.

The roar carried the power of the demon god's origin, and the surrounding yin and yang energies were shaken back, revealing a vast void.

Seeing this, Long Liyi lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure floated up like a willow leaf, landing steadily on the broad shoulders of the Six-Eyed Demon God.

The Six-Eyed Demon felt the weight on his shoulder but didn't say anything.

Six eyes simultaneously lit up with different colored magical light, their gazes like two tangible arrows, instantly piercing through the interwoven yin and yang energy currents.

Finally, they locked onto the figure at the very center of the space.

—It was Li Ziting, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a faint golden light.

A hazy white light floated in front of him; that was their destination.

The power of the new Heavenly Dao.

"found it!"

The Six-Eyed Demon God let out a low shout, and suddenly raised his left hand, the demonic patterns on his palm surging.

A jet-black power of law immediately spread out, and with a "hum", it completely locked the space within a hundred feet around him and Long Liyi.

—This is his "Sky-Locking Technique".

It can temporarily freeze space to prevent Li Ziting from teleporting away after he notices it.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared between his brows.

The Great Dao Pearl that the alien ruler had sent into his body immediately burst forth, hovering in front of him, its seven-colored light surging once more.

The six-eyed demon opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of pitch-black primordial chaos energy.

All of it was poured into the Great Dao Pearl.

He knew in his heart that this precious pearl was condensed from the chaotic origin by the alien ruler.

Only the power of chaos can drive it, and among all the alien races, only the Overlord and he can perfectly activate it.

The moment the chaotic energy poured in, the seven-colored light on the surface of the Great Dao Pearl suddenly became dazzling.

Ripples spread across the space in front of the pearl, tearing open a brief spatial passage.

With a swift movement of its feet, the Six-Eyed Demon God became as fast as a black lightning bolt.

Using the spatial power of the Great Dao Pearl, and carrying the dragon pear robe on her shoulder, she sped towards the central location where Li Ziting was.

—The yin and yang energies along the way retreated automatically when they encountered the radiant light of the precious pearl.

It didn't even cause the slightest obstacle.

Long Liyi stood on Six-Eyed's shoulder, her gaze fixed on the hazy white light ahead.

A barely perceptible glint flashed deep in his eyes.

Li Ziting appeared to be protecting the newly born power of the Heavenly Dao, yet his aura remained unusually calm.

It doesn't seem like they're on guard, it's more like they're... seducing?

Is there some kind of trap here?

But things had already come to this point, and the die was cast; there was no room for retreat. She could only take it one step at a time and try to obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao first.
