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

"Do you really think you can stop me?"

The alien ruler's face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, and the black mist surrounding him surged like a living thing.

As the hands covered in chaotic power slowly closed, the void emitted a crisp "crack" sound, like glass shattering.

—The laws of chaotic space are as responsive as an arm.

The black light patterns that solidified in his palm distorted even the light itself into spiral threads wherever they passed.

The area where the Chaos Bell was suspended was the first to be hit. The originally stable void seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand and collapsed inward!

The sun, moon, and star patterns on the surface of the clock flickered violently.

The bell tolled like a grand and majestic bell.

It tried to shatter the surrounding spatial confinement, but with each tremor, fine, spiderweb-like spatial cracks spread out from the void.

Like a greedy snake, it coiled tightly around the bell, squeezing frantically toward the bell's core.

The bell's initial powerful and solemn tone gradually became fragmented and hoarse...

Finally, with a dull "thud," the Chaos Bell, like a kite with a broken string, was violently flung away by the spatial turbulence, drawing a dazzling golden arc in the void.

A hint of mockery flashed in the alien ruler's eyes before his figure vanished abruptly.

The next second, it appeared where the Chaos Pearl was suspended. The large hand covered with law patterns was like a dark cloud covering the sky, grabbing straight at the pearl that emitted chaotic light.

"Ah, bell!"

An anxious cry emanated from within the Chaos Pearl, causing it to tremble violently and its chaotic radiance to surge, attempting to block the hand of the alien ruler.

But at that moment, a golden light flashed in the void.

—The Chaos Bell, which had been flung away, ignored spatial distance and suddenly appeared behind the alien ruler!

This time, it did not chime; the patterns on the surface of the bell were completely darkened, replaced by an almost savage decisiveness.

—Using the bell itself as a weapon, with a shrill whistle that tears through the air, like an out-of-control meteor, it crashes into the back of the alien overlord with its purest flesh (the bell)!

"Humph."

The alien ruler felt a chill run down his spine, yet showed no sign of panic.

He suddenly raised his left hand backward.

The gray-black spatial laws in his palm surged instantly, forming a transparent barrier of laws.

“Buzz——”!

The Chaos Bell, which was rushing towards it, was like an egg hitting an iron wall as soon as it touched the barrier. It was instantly imprisoned in place by a higher spatial law, and the cracks on the surface of the bell spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, the alien ruler exerted a slight force with his left hand.

The transparent barrier suddenly contracted, compressing the Chaos Bell to the size of a basketball, and with a casual grab, it was clenched in the palm of the hand.

"Out of control."

He glanced down at the Chaos Bell, which was struggling in his palm but unable to break free from the constraints of the laws, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

—Not bad, you've acquired a priceless treasure.

"Even if your schemes can indeed create a Great Sage."

The alien ruler looked up at the violently trembling Chaos Pearl, his tone full of mockery.

"You need to have enough time."

He guessed correctly; time was exactly what the Chaos Pearl lacked most at that moment.

Inside the Chaos Pearl.

Nezha's remnant soul is currently suspended in a chaotic mass of various elements.

The outline of the remnant soul is being repaired at an extremely slow pace under the nourishment of elemental power.

According to the original plan, as long as the Chaos Pearl was given some more time, Nezha's remnant soul would be completely condensed.

With the perfect fusion of elements, Nezha's body and soul will undergo a transformative breakthrough, and finally melt the pearl containing the origin of the Great Dao.

It absorbs the experience of the failed attempt to attain the Dao by the alien ruler when he tried to become a Dao Saint.

—That treasure contains the nearly successful experience of the Great Dao Laws of the alien ruler.

This was enough to allow Nezha to ascend to the heavens in one step and truly break through to the level of a Great Dao Saint.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance.

The alien ruler gripped the Chaos Bell and walked step by step toward the Chaos Pearl. The spatial laws in his palm surged once more. This time, he intended to crush this troublesome pearl completely and take everything inside for himself.
