Chapter 50 The Power of Creation, the Merits of the Primordial Chaos
The chaotic matter, devoid of light and darkness, was torn apart by the yin and yang energies and the immense power of earth, fire, wind, and water, and the grand true meaning of creation and opening up of the world crashed onto Mingli's body.
With a crisp sound, a look of horror appeared on Mingli's face. Under the great power of opening up all things, his Dao Fruit of Creation had been torn apart.
The Fish-Dragon Diagram evolved into the Chaos Bell, solidifying space and time. The Autumn Brush continuously opened up the earth, fire, wind, and water, eroding Mingli's physical body and primordial spirit. With the two acquired treasures combined, Mingli had lost all ability to resist, and Fuxi did not even use his strongest weapon, the Hundred Kings' First.
As heaven and earth were created, all things came into being. The magnificent scene of the creation of heaven and earth caused Houtu and Xuanming, who were watching, to reveal a look of intoxication.
"If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening." Facing the creation of heaven and earth is equivalent to facing the emergence of the Dao and the coexistence of laws. This is an opportunity for enlightenment that countless innate gods and demons can only dream of.
Of course, Fuxi's simulation of the creation of the heavens using earth, fire, wind, water, and the two energies of purity and turbidity (yin and yang) is far from comparable to the true creation of heaven and earth; at most, it can only be considered as the creation of a middle-thousand world.
Even so, this was a groundbreaking event, greatly benefiting Houtu and Xuanming, who currently only possessed the cultivation of Golden Immortals.
Fuxi looked at the ever-expanding world before him with indifferent eyes. He possessed Taiyi combat power by relying on the source of Dao spiritual light, and the method of creating heaven and earth that he had researched could be considered to have barely taken shape.
In his weakened state, Mingli was absolutely unable to withstand his earth-shattering divine power.
The immense power of creation divided everything, the pure energy rose, and the turbid energy sank. The enormous body of Mingli stood between heaven and earth, and was also drawn by the grand true meaning of creation, transforming into the pure and turbid energies.
The impurities and turbidity in the primordial spirit's physical body sank and stagnated, transforming into the earth and mountains. The pure and clear essence of the primordial spirit's physical body transformed into pure qi, which rose up to become the heavens and qi.
Mingli's expression was ferocious as he tried his best to suppress his physical body and primordial spirit from collapsing. However, with his cultivation and combat power no longer comparable to Fuxi's, Mingli eventually could not hold on any longer.
Its enormous body collapsed with a roar, dissolving into the heavens and earth, leaving only a milky-white Creation Fruit still radiating a few points of spiritual light, stubbornly resisting the great power of the creation of heaven and earth.
"I have fully comprehended the profound mysteries of the Dao Fruit. Your last shred of will is useless; vanish."
Fuxi's will merged into this newly opened Middle Thousand World, and the surging earth, fire, wind, and water surged forth once more. However, this time, the earth, fire, wind, and water did not create heaven and earth, but rather destroyed them.
The four great powers reversed each other, engulfing everything. The newly formed world began to collapse and shrink in an instant. Boundless darkness descended, and the power of destruction of the void turned into a torrent that devoured the fruits of creation.
With a crisp cracking sound, the Creation Dao Fruit could not withstand the great terror of the destruction of heaven and earth, and completely collapsed into countless crystalline fragments. The last trace of Mingli's will hidden in the Creation Dao Fruit was also extinguished.
Suddenly, the dark sky of the Netherworld was stirred up with waves. Amidst the blooming of brilliant golden light, the will of the Primordial Heavenly Dao descended. The Heavenly Dao's profound and yellow merits transformed into golden light and descended, merging into the bodies of Fuxi, Houtu, and Xuanming.
The invaders from the Netherworld and other worlds posed a great threat to the primordial world. Fuxi and the other two killed the Netherworld, thus protecting the primordial world and deserving a reward from the Heavenly Dao.
When the merits of Heaven and Earth entered their bodies, Houtu and Xuanming did not refine them. Instead, they merged the merits of Heaven and Earth with their own Netherworld authority, thus enhancing their control over the Netherworld authority.
Fuxi then refined the Heavenly Dao Xuanhuang Merit into the Fish-Dragon Diagram and the Autumn Brush. Fuxi had long envied the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda in Taishang's hands, and had long wanted to use the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit to create a postnatal merit treasure that was no weaker than the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.
Although Fuxi has not accumulated enough merit to transform the Fish-Dragon Diagram and the Autumn Brush into acquired treasures, the infusion of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang merit into the Fish-Dragon Diagram and the Autumn Brush has enhanced the power of these two acquired treasures.
If Fuxi were to acquire a continuous stream of celestial and earthly merits in the future, it would not be impossible for the Fish-Dragon Diagram and the Autumn Brush to transform into treasures imbued with acquired merits.
With a wave of his right hand, Fuxi sent the twelve fragments of the purple-patterned iron sword, which had been broken into several pieces, and the Dao Fruit of Creation, which had shattered, falling before Houtu and Xuanming.
"This is a Dao Fruit of Creation, formed from Mingli's lifelong cultivation and enlightenment. Its essence is similar to our Great Luo Dao Fruit, only of a lower quality. Although this Dao Fruit is incomplete, it should still retain a lot of Mingli's insights, which should be helpful to you."
Fuxi threw the fragments of the Creation Fruit directly into Houtu and Xuanming's arms, giving them no chance to refuse.
Then Fuxi pointed to the purple-patterned iron sword that had broken into several pieces and said, "This Netherworld Sword carries the weapon-refining system of countless worlds, although the weapon-refining system of that world is not particularly exquisite."
"But for you and me, it's not a bad thing to learn more about spiritual systems and philosophies."
"Moreover, the material of this Netherworld Sword is completely different from many of the rare and precious materials in our primordial world. Although it lacks toughness, it is quite strong and is a good material. You two can use these fragments to refine some magic weapons."
Fuxi left behind the hilt and a section of the blade of the Mingyu Sword, while the four sections of the blade fell to Houtu and Xuanming respectively.
"We two didn't contribute much to this battle, so you should keep these spoils for yourself, Brother Dao."
Houtu looked at Fuxi, shook her head, and refused to accept it. Both the Creation Dao Fruit and the fragments of the Netherworld Sword must contain the cultivation system of countless worlds, which would be of great help to the two of them.
However, Houtu did not believe that their merits were sufficient to claim the Creation Dao Fruit and the fragments of the Netherworld Sword.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Without you keeping Mingli in check outside, how would I have had the chance to figure out Mingli's true nature?"
"I have fully comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao within the Dao Fruit of Creation. These fragments of the Dao Fruit are no longer of much use to me, otherwise I would not have been willing to give them to you."
"As for the fragments of the Netherworld Sword, what kind of treasure are they? If you don't want them, I'll exchange these sword fragments for your longevity peaches, how about that?"
Houtu looked at Fuxi with a smile on his face, pursed her lips, and finally accepted the fragments of the Creation Dao Fruit and the Netherworld Nurturing Sword in front of her.
The essence of the divine medicine surged forth and transformed into countless rainbows. Three longevity peaches landed in front of Fuxi. Fuxi looked at Houtu, smiled, and put them into his sleeve.
"Sister Houtu has a divine medicine like the Longevity Peach, but I don't. These Xuanming Heavenly Souls are just some crude things I made when I was bored. I hope you won't find them offensive, fellow Daoist."
Xuanming's cold voice rang out, and three hexagonal ice crystals shimmering with a deep blue light fell in front of Fuxi.
