"Holy crap! What is going on?"
At the entrance of the Holy Lotus Hall, Zhang Yi suddenly cried out, hastily covering her ears. Following her, Luo Xian, Luo Ying, Lin Shanshan, and the others were all in a panic, either covering their ears or clutching their abdons. This was because after Wuxing Chuan used the Vajra All-Encompassing Mantra, all tallic substances within the Boundless Heavens responded to the call of the Power of Laws.
The earrings, studs, necklaces, and hair accessories worn by the won were all tallic, so they were naturally affected by the Power of Laws. For a mont, they were panic-stricken, with nowhere to hide and no idea what to do.
Off to the side, Lao Ba cocked his head, looking at Zhang Yi's frantic expression with curiosity. "Say, young lady, you don't happen to have any tal in your stomach, do you? I really don't get it. Why are you clutching it?"
Zhang Yi shot Lao Ba a glare. "It's a navel stud, you blockhead!"
Lao Ba spread his wings. "You humans sure are flashy."
It was then that Master Ping spoke. "Everyone, take refuge inside my World Inside the Vase for now."
「anwhile」
Chaos reigned everywhere within the Boundless Heavens. Cultivators watching the battle from a distance fled even farther away, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being "robbed." Their tallic items, Magical Treasures and Weapons, all flew uncontrollably into the sky, never to return.
"Damn it! When gods fight, mortals suffer!"
"What sins did I commit to deserve this? I finally got a Magical Treasure, and just like that, it's gone!"
Curses filled the air from every direction as Wuxing Chuan's ancestors for eighteen generations were thoroughly berated.
「Within the World Inside the Vase」
Everyone stood on the grassland, their eyes filled with worry as they watched the scene unfolding on the screen of light. Even without facing it personally, a single glance was enough to know that the hundred-ter-tall golden giant was terrifying.
Lao Ba asked, "Hey, Master Ping, what in the world is that golden giant? It looks incredibly formidable."
Master Ping's voice echoed through the void. "That's the Vajra Law Manifestation. Like Luo Xiu's Destructive Thunder Wings, it's a materialization of the Power of Laws."
「At this very mont」
Luo Xiu stood quietly atop the eerie black magma, looking up at the Vajra Law Manifestation in the sky with a thoughtful expression. He could feel a hint of a familiar aura emanating from it, but at the sa ti, he felt considerable pressure.
While Luo Xiu was lost in thought, Wuxing Chuan flew toward the Vajra Law Manifestation and rged with it. The colossal figure instantly seed to co alive, issuing a deafening roar that whipped up furious gales. Its body, several hundred ters tall, crashed to the ground.
BOOM! With a thunderous sound, it was as if heaven and earth were collapsing. As the imasurably heavy Vajra Law Manifestation landed, it imdiately caused the ground for dozens of miles around to crack open and mountains to crumble, creating a scene straight out of the apocalypse.
Wuxing Chuan's voice suddenly resounded through the void, "Your Majesty, the Azure Emperor, from now on... enjoy the thrill of being hunted by !"
Hearing this, Luo Xiu smiled faintly. The black magma beneath his feet suddenly churned violently, rapidly coalescing into a magma giant several hundred ters tall. Luo Xiu stood atop the giant's head, his aura no weaker as he faced the Vajra Law Manifestation on equal footing.
"Hah! re magma dares to contend with my Vajra Law Manifestation?" Wuxing Chuan's disdainful voice echoed across the land as the giant began to run. Though massive, it showed no signs of clumsiness. Each step it took caused the earth to fracture and mountains to shatter.
Seeing the Vajra Law Manifestation charging, Luo Xiu refused to show weakness. He directed the magma giant with his Divine Sense to et it head-on, throwing a fierce punch.
BOOM—!
The two fists collided, and the Void itself seed to explode.
Although its aura was formidable, the magma giant Luo Xiu had temporarily created with the Primordial Yellow Springs Dance was much weaker in terms of raw power than the Vajra Law Manifestation. The magma giant's arm shattered, and its body tilted backward before crashing to the ground.
The Vajra Law Manifestation pressed its advantage, leaping into the sky and stomping down toward the magma giant's head. Standing on its head, Luo Xiu saw the mountain-sized foot descending and had the giant roll away to dodge.
The magma giant then slamd one hand on the ground, instantly transforming the vast land into black magma. Reaching into the molten sea, it pulled out a massive sword of solidified magma and swung it at the legs of the Vajra Law Manifestation.
CLANG!
The magma sword instantly disintegrated, but the Vajra Law Manifestation stood firm, completely unscathed.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu frowned slightly. This thing is absurdly tough.
He had the magma giant pull back and stomp hard on the ground. Magma from hundreds of miles around surged into the sky, solidifying into mountains that surrounded the giant.
"Try this!" Under Luo Xiu's control, the magma giant lifted a massive mountain and hurled it at the Vajra Law Manifestation.
However, the Vajra Law Manifestation simply threw a casual punch, shattering the approaching mountain.
Not to be outdone, the magma giant lifted another mountain and threw it.
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Completely unphased, the Vajra Law Manifestation smashed each mountain the magma giant threw with a single punch.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty? Is this all you've got? Are you going to fight like a child throwing stones?"
Luo Xiu's temper flared at the taunt. He had the magma giant grab the last mountain with both arms, leap high into the air, and smash it down on the head of the Vajra Law Manifestation.
BOOM!
However, even this seemingly powerful blow failed to inflict the slightest damage.
"Have you had enough fun? Now, it's my turn!" Wuxing Chuan's voice bood across the Void. The next mont, the Vajra Law Manifestation pounced, grabbing the magma giant and pumling it relentlessly.
「At this ti」
The cultivators watching from afar felt their hearts pound in their chests as they witnessed the spectacular, terrifying scenes.
"Damn... Can you even call this a human-level battle anymore?"
"It's breathtaking... So this is the combat standard at that level? I feel like if we went up there, we'd be smashed to pieces in an instant."
「A short while later」
After suffering a brutal beating, the magma giant was shattered and broken. Luo Xiu stood proudly in the Void, looking at the destroyed behemoth, a sharp pang of unwillingness in his heart. Suddenly, he raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
"Heavenly Vermilion... Sword of Ten Thousand Prisons!"
In an instant, Vermilion Bird True Fire flared into existence from nothing, condensing into a Fla Giant Sword that slashed toward the Vajra Law Manifestation with terrifying might. But to Luo Xiu's surprise, the Vajra Law Manifestation ignored the sword's oppressive lock, nimbly sidestepping it. It even twisted its body around and grabbed the hilt of the greatsword.
"You really do have a few tricks." Seeing this, a faint smile touched Luo Xiu's lips. The wings on his back spread, and he shot away in a flash of lightning.
The Vajra Law Manifestation leaped back, creating distance while gripping the Heavenly Vermilion Sword of Ten Thousand Prisons with both hands. It swung the massive blade directly at Luo Xiu. "Here's your sword back!"
Luo Xiu's speed didn't falter. He threw a casual punch, and lightning instantly surged across the sky. In a flash, the incoming Heavenly Vermilion Sword of Ten Thousand Prisons was obliterated by Glazed Thunder.
Then, Luo Xiu ca to a sudden halt. He gazed at the Vajra Law Manifestation dozens of ters away, cald his mind, and slowly closed his eyes. After getting closer, the familiar aura he had sensed earlier beca much clearer and more distinct.
Suddenly, his heart leaped with joy. He snapped his eyes open, looking at the Vajra Law Manifestation with a grateful expression. He finally realized that the familiar aura was from the very War Sword Shards he had been searching for. Wuxing Chuan's Vajra All-Encompassing Mantra had, by a twist of fate, helped him gather all the shards scattered across the Boundless Heavens in one go.
"To show my gratitude, I'll test the power of that sword on your golden form," Luo Xiu murmured. He slowly reached out his hand and grasped at the air. As if affected, the Vajra Law Manifestation began to tremble violently.
Glints of cold light flew from its body, converging toward Luo Xiu's palm at incredible speed. Simultaneously, Luo Xiu retrieved the Purple Gold Box from his Human Sanctuary, releasing the handful of War Sword Shards he had previously collected.
Wuxing Chuan obviously realized sothing was wrong and imdiately controlled the Vajra Law Manifestation to punch Luo Xiu.
Faced with a house-sized fist radiating terrifying power, Luo Xiu remained unperturbed. With a casual flick of his wrist, he tossed out the Cave Heavens Talisman. "Get out of my way for a mont. I'll play with you later!"
That tiny Jade Talisman contained the entire mass of Ghost Valley Mountain. With a trendous BOOM, space itself trembled as the Vajra Law Manifestation staggered backward, nearly falling.
Luo Xiu caught the returning Cave Heavens Talisman, about to utter a taunt when he suddenly frowned. Although the War Sword Shards were responding to his sword intent, he could feel a definite resistance from them. They were filled with a vicious energy, as if ready to devour their master at any mont.
"You truly are a malevolent sword... and I'm liking you more and more." A smile played on Luo Xiu's lips, his heart full of anticipation. He pushed his Divine Soul to its absolute limit, forcibly summoning the War Sword Shards into his hand.
Including the shattered hilt, all three hundred and fifty shards were present—not a single one was missing.
A mont later, all the shards beca one.
Luo Xiu admired the longsword in his hand. It was covered in cracks, pieced together from hundreds of fragnts, yet he felt as if he were seeing an old friend. He allowed a few of the more disobedient shards to burrow into his flesh and drink his blood as he spoke softly, "I may not have my past mories... but it seems every one of these cracks bears witness to the glory we once shared. It all feels like it happened only yesterday."
"I have begun a new life. Therefore, you must begin one as well."
