“Concerning my way and my laws… I am one who goes against Heaven. To do that, I must first understand Heaven and forget all its trivial laws. Nature is me; I am nature. I merge into one with Heaven!”
Wang Bugui’s world returned to the state of still water. After that, his body began to glow resplendently with a golden sheen, dyeing the still water golden.
“‘Qian’ is Heaven, ‘kun’ is Earth…”
“Heaven and Earth have no emotions, but there are feelings in the mortal world…”
“The Way begets One. And from One comes Two, from Two comes Three. From Three comes all things…”
“Qiankun is the universe. The yin and the yang are interdependent.”
Faint voices preaching the Way from ancient historical times resounded from behind Wang Bugui. His primordial spirit entwined around these talismanic words of Taoism. The splintered shards of Tao principles soon clustered around him.
“The desolation and profundity of Heaven and Earth.”
“The vicissitudes of the human realm.”
“Putting my palms together, I speak of the two extremes.”
“My cry shatters the highest firmament!”
Wang Bugui gave a long and resounding cry. The golden sheen around his body glowed even more resplendently. He resembled a God of War descending from Heaven.
“Boom!”
From the outside, his body exploded with a powerful spiritual strength, never displayed before. But it did not destroy the array lines of time. Instead, it was moisturizing the land within a radius of 500 kilometers.
“What’s happening? I sense that he has healed the primordial spirit somewhat. But he isn’t becoming an immortal, so how can this power moisturize the land?” The Blood Demon King gasped in astonishment.
“Although he is far from becoming an immortal, the effects are quite similar,” Zi Yuxiao said with a frown.
It was not only them. Everyone felt their bodies and hearts being cleansed as the spiritual energy soared. All these were happening because of Wang Bugui!
“Buzz!”
Following that, countless colorful clouds descended from the heavens. These were pure spiritual strengths and Tao principles, all streaming into Wang Bugui’s body. His entire person gradually floated up the air.
“The Man-Heaven in One Realm. Succeeded!”
They heard Wang Bugui give a loud cry and all the lights converged into the Divine Terrace. Then he raised his hand, causing a tremor. All the strange phenomena ebbed.
“Ha! Big Brother has succeeded!” Zhao Changge laughed loudly.
“Big Brother!”
Below him, the crowds cheered with joy. They wanted to meet him in the air. But Wang Bugui’s body trembled and he descended in their midst.
“Oh, I miss you so much!”
Yu Wude opened his mouth with a big grin. He spread his arms wide and dashed forward.
“Yeah, I miss you so much too!” Zhao Changge followed suit. Even his expression and posture were the same.
They seemed to be embracing him. Yet they were secretly executing Tao Laws. They wanted to give Wang Bugui a pleasant surprise. But of course Wang Bugui could sense that. The corners of his mouth curled upwards and he also opened his arms wide.
“Smack! Smack!”
There were two distinct smacks. Both of them had been slapped.
“You two are only pretending to be nice. Don’t think I can’t see what you are doing!” Wang Bugui grinned.
Yu Wude caressed his face and took a step backwards. Zhao Changge also did the same.
“Such loud slaps. No, I will lose face this way! I want a fair fight with you!” Yu Wude yelled at Wang Bugui.
“That’s right, I want a fair fight too. Wude shall go first, me second!” Zhao Changge slapped his thigh.
“Alright, show your powers.” Wang Bugui stretched out his hand and made an “after you” gesture.
Following that, Yu Wude rolled up his sleeves and displayed the Formation Breaking Sword. He turned back his head. “Changge, I will go first. Watch carefully how Big Brother gets thrashed!”
Then he directly lifted his sword and hacked down. Wang Bugui gave a helpless smile and hit out the Break Heaven Fist at him.
“Clang!”
The divine fist and the Formation Breaking Sword clashed. The powerful punch made Yu Wude’s blood vigor churn.
“Clang!”
But that instant when Wang Bugui’s fist hit the sword, a cold light flashed behind him. He saw Zhao Changge emerge from behind.
Before he could react, a spear had already stabbed into his body.
“Puff!”
Yet Wang Bugui had long pre-empted him. He vanished like a bubble. No one knew when he had used a body double. Zhao Changge told himself silently that he was in trouble. He immediately retracted his spear and parried.
“Boom!”
But it was too late. He parried in haste, but he could not ward off Wang Bugui’s powerful strike. The fist punched him heavily, ramming him into the earth. It was followed by a descending Meteorite Kick.
“Hey!”
Yu Wude gave a low bellow. His sword slashed down. At the same time, he executed a few formations.
“Whiz!”
But Wang Bugui came to his side in a flash. He raised his arm and gave another punch, merging the Break Heaven Fist with the Glittering Fist. It soon multiplied into 1,000 fists.
“Destroy!”
Yu Wude slashed his sword vertically and horizontally. He parried all the fist shadows and unleashed his formations. Dozens of powerful spiritual strengths hurtled towards Wang Bugui.
“Raging Dragon Breaking Souls!”
Below him, Zhao Changge also advanced with his spear. His spiritual strength had turned into a silver dragon, assaulting madly.
“Ten Thousand Avatars!”
They heard Wang Bugui give a loud guffaw, turning directly into several thousand avatars. The avatars entangled the two and his real person soared up the sky.
“Oh no! So many Big Brothers!”
Yu Wude and Zhao Changge both ended up in a fluster, rushing back and forth in attack. But they could not shake off these avatars laying siege to them.
“Five Elements Space Thunder!”
“Three Stars Space Thunder!”
“Thunder Dragon Fist!”
In the air, Wang Bugui directed his thunder formations to bombard below.
“Ow!”
“Be gentle!”
“Not right!”
“So scary!”
The thunderbolts assailed Yu Wude and Zhao Changge, making them gnash their teeth. Soon they were begging for help. But Wang Bugui still did not stop. From the sky, he unleashed catastrophic thunderbolts to train their bodies.
He only stopped one hour later. By then, they were completely covered in soot.
“Ah—argh!”
“Retch—!”
They both spat out a plume of white smoke. Their hairstyles had turned into Afros. They appeared like some coal miners who had just returned from Africa.
“So how do you feel? Do your bodies feel stronger?” Wang Bugui approached and asked them.
“I was wrong…” Yu Wude moaned.
“No more games, no more.” Zhao Changge was vigorously shaking his head.
Wang Bugui and the others could not help but laugh. This pair of brothers used to be afraid of nothing. Now they were finally being taught a lesson.
“I guess they will be quiet for a while.” Feng Tianming chuckled, his sword in his arms.
“Haha, Big Brother is the most awesome.” Chu He shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Wang Bugui brought the two “Africans” back to their positions below and surveyed the assembly of brothers and sisters. After confirming repeatedly, he finally felt assured.
“Big Brother, what’s wrong?” Lyu Hao asked, caressing his head.
He was not used to Wang Bugui staring so seriously at him.
“Nothing. It’s good that it’s you.” Wang Bugui gave a faint smile.
“Why… aren’t we the same?” Lyu Hao was even more baffled.
“You’re a blockhead. Obviously, he has encountered too many demons in his heart.”
Zi Yuxiao said lazily, caressing her head. Then she looked at Wang Bugui and asked, “There must be someone here resembling the demons in your heart?”
“Yes, they all looked very real. I almost couldn’t get out. But luckily, luckily I remembered all your special traits.” Wang Bugui smiled wryly.
“Oh? So what is my special trait?” Zi Yuxiao asked lazily and charmingly.
“Hey, Sister Ziyu, you were the one who made me break through. I managed to see your real face as the demonized Sister Ziyu. But I thought, didn’t you say I could only do that when I reached the Emperor realm?”
“So I thought again: ‘There’s no way she can be more beautiful than you.’ And there were also the Blood Demon King, Wude, and Changge…”
Wang Bugui recounted all the demons he had come across in his heart. His words made them all tremble in trepidation. Even the Blood Demon King was stunned, unable to compose himself for a long time.
“You aren’t afraid of death, are you? You even dared to use the forbidden art of primordial spirit when creating Tao Laws. You are so confident,” the Blood Demon King remarked in surprise.
“Humph, it’s lucky you know your limits. If you saw my face…”
Zi Yuxiao tittered, and then traced with her finger an outline of Wang Bugui’s face. “… You might really become my victim.”
Wang Bugui immediately felt goosebumps all over his body. He shook his head and retreated, grinning. “Sister Ziyu, enchantment is your God-given gift. But don’t let me be your victim!”
“Chiou has already filled my heart. You don’t stand a chance!”
Zi Yuxiao poked a finger at his head. She said angrily, “As if I liked you!”
“Hahaha, so even you can fail…” The Blood Demon King chuckled heartily.
“You want to pit your sorcery against mine?” Zi Yuxiao turned back her head.
The Blood Demon King immediately shook his head. “No, I don’t. I don’t like to fight women, especially a woman like you.”
Zi Yuxiao only snorted and stared at Wang Bugui. “So have you succeeded in creating the laws?”
“Yes. I managed to reach the first stage of the Man-Heaven as One Realm.”
“Show us your Tao Law. Let me see how different it is.” Zi Yuxiao’s eyes glowed with a special light.
“Alright.”
Wang Bugui nodded gently and then soared into the air.
“Empty my heart and return me to nature— the Taoism of nature, that is, the Laws of the Heaven and the Earth. Heaven is ‘qian’, Earth is ‘kun’. When the primordial moves, yin and yang become one. From one emerges the Heaven and the Earth. The Heaven and the Earth beget me, as well as all things. All things are one!”
They heard Wang Bugui bellow aloud, and then enter his Man-Heaven as One Realm he created. The world in his eyes was all formed from Tao principles.
All forms of Taoism aimed to dominate the Heaven and the Earth. He existed between the Heaven and the Earth, and had merged into their midst, becoming one of their members who could rule everything.
He felt extremely good in this state. He gradually raised his arm and unleashed a strike.
“Boom!”
Immediately afterwards, they saw the Tao principles within a radius of 500 kilometers start to rumble. The Broken Sword Mountain was quaking. Countless fissures appeared, extending outwards rapidly.
Yet this was not the ultimate power Wang Bugui could unleash. He soon upped the power.
“Crack! Crack!”
The solid spiritual mountain began to break apart slowly!
The eyes of everyone showed astonishment. They watched Wang Bugui in the sky, looking like a divinity or a devil. They were shocked by his mighty power!
