Chapter 2: The Four Fierce Beasts, the Essence of Life "Cough cough cough..." Fuxi coughed lightly, looked at Nuwa and said, "The future of Haoying and the other four is very clear. They don't need my guidance. As cultivators at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, they are already powerful enough to dominate the world today. Too much guidance will only affect their choices..." Fuxi looked at Nuwa's calm eyes and could hardly continue speaking. "Well, I've been studying other things these years and haven't had time to teach them. I'm not qualified to say anything to you." Fuxi said somewhat helplessly that he and Nuwa had known each other for tens of millions of years and knew each other well. Nuwa might know the truth of some of the things he said better than he did. "Other research? Are you going to give up your innate pure yang essence and admit defeat?" Nuwa listened to Fuxi's words, and a cold light flashed in her calm eyes. After fighting with Fuxi for so many years, her obsession was to defeat Fuxi. The last thing she wanted to see was Fuxi admitting defeat. "Give up? Impossible. You don't have the ability to make me give up. I just don't want to limit my Tao to Pangu." "I have my own way. The Xiantian Pure Yang Dao can only serve as my reference, but not as my foundation. Of course, even if I don't want the Xiantian Pure Yang Dao anymore, I can't give it to you unless you have the strength to convince me."
"That's good. It would be too boring if you gave up." A smile appeared on Nuwa's cold face, pure and flawless, with unparalleled grace and elegance. If Li Lu's ultimate beauty is to magnify people's pursuit of beauty to the extreme, then Nuwa's beauty encompasses the countless beauties of countless living things between heaven and earth. The graceful beauty of women, the agility of animals, the splendor and nobility of birds, the splendor and brilliance of stars, the vastness of mountains and rivers, the clarity and brightness of the sky... Looking at Nuwa was like looking at countless beautiful things blooming between heaven and earth. This beauty that struck deep into the soul was impossible for Fuxi to ignore, and he was stunned for a moment. "Your attainments in life and creation are becoming more and more powerful." Fuxi looked at Nuwa with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He and Nuwa had fought and discussed Taoism twice over the years, winning one and losing one. This was the third time. Every time he met Nuwa, Fuxi could feel that there were earth-shaking changes in Nuwa. In their first fight, Fuxi had to use all his means to barely defeat Nuwa. In their second fight, Fuxi's condition had not recovered to its peak and he lost. This is the third duel between him and Nuwa. Even though they haven't fought yet, Fuxi has already felt a huge threat from Nuwa. Originally, Fuxi believed that he had rebuilt his foundation over the years and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to before, which should be enough to suppress Nuwa. Now it seems that the strength gap between him and Nuwa is still the same. "I have switched to cultivating the Way of Life and Creation, and you have also switched to cultivating the Way of the Heart and Soul." "Speaking of which, the last two duels between you and me were decided by the two great ways of Pure Yang and Mysterious Yin. This time, I want to see what your understanding of the Way of the Soul is like." Thousands of brilliant lights bloomed from Nuwa's body, and the essence of life that transcends everything emerged from Nuwa's body. Fuxi frowned and felt the changes in his internal organs at the first moment. At this moment, his own body and essence seemed to be out of his control, twisted into other forms, transformed into all kinds of wonderful creatures, and returned to Nuwa's side. A ray of spiritual light bloomed between Fuxi's eyebrows, and the great power of heaven and man drew the power of the nine heavens and nine earths to forcibly suppress the restlessness of his internal organs and flesh. Looking at the lush green grass and countless old vines growing under Nuwa's feet, Fuxi shook his head and said, "We have just rebuilt our foundations. If we start now, there is a danger of shaking our foundations." The innate pure yang power burst out from Fuxi's palm, and ten suns turned into mighty golden and incandescent flames that ignited all the countless serpentine vines that were wrapped around them. The power of life and death turned into a wheel of light and slashed down. A sharp edge mixed between life and death pierced through a black-scaled beast claw that was slapped down.
A roar shattered the layers of golden and white flames that were sweeping over. A ferocious beast that was a hundred feet long, with an ox body, a tiger mouth, hedgehog feathers, roc wings, and hooked hooves and claws rushed out from the broken flames. The beast's claws that had been pierced by the sharp edge of life and death had completely recovered at some point. The beast's claws slapped down, and the earth cracked apart with a roar. The endless flames in front of Fuxi turned into a huge flaming tornado that blasted away the ferocious beast that opened its huge mouth to swallow him. The golden and white pure yang fire burned fiercely on the beast's body, constantly burning its flesh and blood and essence. However, the Pure Yang Fire that was powerful enough to burn the sky and boil the sea fell on the beast, but only burned the scales on its body into ashes. Although the flesh and blood on the beast turned into ashes for a time under the burning of the flames, it soon resumed its growth. Layers of flesh, blood and black scales grew on the beast's body. Soon, the blazing Pure Yang Fire could no longer hurt the beast. The beast adapted to the heat and power of the Pure Yang Fire at an extremely terrifying speed. "The ferocious beast Qiongqi?" Fuxi looked at the black-scaled beast crawling and growling in front of him, and looked at Nuwa with some surprise. Hun Dun, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taowu are innate evil beasts that evolved from the infinite evil and turbid energy in the ancient world. The essence of the four evil beasts is no weaker than that of innate gods and demons like Fuxi and Nuwa. In the ancient world, countless people died at the hands of these four evil beasts. These four ferocious beasts are notorious in the ancient world. Ordinary innate gods and demons may not be a match for these four beasts. The four evil beasts have no intelligence at all and have committed many sins. Not long ago, Fuxi calculated in his astronomical calculations that these four evil beasts would face a great disaster. Unexpectedly, the disaster that these four evil beasts faced was actually Nuwa. "Not long ago, I made a breakthrough in my research on the Great Dao of Creation, so I killed these four ferocious beasts and refined them into the Four Great Divine Aspects." Nuwa stepped and appeared above Qiongqi's head, overlooking Fuxi below, and said lightly. "Over the years, I have delved deeply into the Great Dao of Creation and realized the four sources of life. The origins of the four fierce beasts are yin and turbid, which is exactly the four sources of life that I created. The Great God Qiongqi carries the source of evolution among the four sources of life." The great god Qiongqi stared at Fuxi with a fierce look, and all the burns on his body were healed within a few breaths. The evolution of life was the first life trait that Nuwa realized. The great god Qiongqi had the ability to recover quickly after being attacked, and also had the ultimate evolutionary ability to evolve a defense system or even a counterattack system within an extreme time based on the attack attributes of the opponent. The essence of life is continuous evolution and continuous transcendence. The strength of the great god Qiongqi is much greater than when he was a ferocious beast. The beast's claws slapped down, and countless deep pits were blasted out on the ground. The wings of the roc flapped, and a hurricane roared across the sky and earth in front of the great god Qiongqi. The raging sand mixed in the hurricane was like countless sharp blades plowing deep scratches on the ground. The extreme turbid murderous aura and the vast life essence combined, and the black scales on the body of the great god Qiongqi turned into layers of translucent heavy armor after a few breaths. The vast vitality on the beast's claws condensed and turned into countless emerald green patterns. The power of life and death once again turned into a sharp edge and pierced through. This time, the sharp edge of life and death evolved by Fuxi failed to penetrate the body of the great god Qiongqi. There were traces of yin and yang power in the translucent heavy armor. The power of life and death evolved by Fuxi was instead swallowed up by the yin and yang power. A low roar came from above his head. Fuxi looked at the Great God Qiongqi flying in the sky, and the relief in his eyes slowly faded away: "Since you want to see my research over the years, then I will show it to you." The green shirt on Fuxi's body fluttered, condensed but not released. The powerful and pure power burst out from Fuxi's body. His five slender white fingers clenched into a fist. Fuxi punched out, and the void of heaven and earth twisted instantly. A dazzling rainbow tore apart the sandstorm that enveloped Fuxi. The great god Qiongqi swooped down and let out a roar. His left wing covered with green patterns was pierced by Fuxi's punch. Blood was spilled, and the great god Qiongqi did not care about his pierced left wing. His falling speed increased by 30%. The green flames formed by the melted life essence in his mouth flickered with a destructive brilliance that was about to overshadow the sun, moon and stars. "The fire of life." Fuxi lowered his eyes, and the five internal organs in the center of his chest, namely the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, burst into five-colored light. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth transformed into a beam of five-colored divine light that shot up into the sky, blasting the great god Qiongqi away. The five-colored light hung high above Fuxi's head like a canopy. Fuxi looked at the great god Qiongqi who was blown away thousands of miles away. He pointed his right sword and chopped it down. The five-colored divine light condensed into a ray of sword light, blocking a white jade hand in front of him. The sword light rang with a clanging sound. The sword light condensed by the five-colored divine light could easily penetrate even the great god Qiongqi. However, facing this white jade hand, the five elements sword light condensed by Fuxi with the essence of his five internal organs was easily pinched by this jade hand. "When did you switch to cultivating the way of physical strength?"
Nuwa exerted a little force with her five fingers, and completely annihilated the five elements sword light gathered in her palm. She raised her head and looked at Fuxi, and said with some curiosity. "There was a problem with my recasting. The power of the five soul roots I created cannot be fully exerted for the time being, so I can only spend some time to practice some true form body refining methods to make up for some combat power." The green robe on Fuxi's body fluttered, and the five-colored divine light burst out again, as if the five worlds were rotating with each other, and they repelled the great god Qiongqi who came to kill him again. The golden divine light penetrated deep into the earth, drawing the power of the divine gold from the ore veins and transforming into countless clusters of golden sword lights. The Wood Element Divine Light merged into the surrounding flowers, plants and ancient trees, evolving into endless verdant spiritual light and vast fields. The divine light of water transformed into boundless rivers, with heavy waves sweeping across the sky and covering the earth. The Fire Divine Light drew the molten lava from the earth, spewing out endless flames that burned everything. The Earthly Divine Light turned into ripples and spread out. Countless mountains around it shook, and the souls of the towering mountains condensed like huge seals falling down. (End of this chapter)
