Chapter 898
The Creator God?
Zhao Feng also became curious about this so-called creator god, and said with a smile, "Lead the way."
The nine-armored creature turned around, its massive body heading towards the depths of the Azure Ruins Realm.
The creatures of Qingxu automatically made way.
The cubs in the distant valley poked their heads out again.
A scaly-winged cub mustered its courage and flew over, landing on Zhao Feng's shoulder and gently pecking at his collar.
Zhao Feng turned his head to the side.
The cub was so frightened that its wings trembled and it almost fell off.
Zhao Feng flicked a wisp of gentle energy with his finger, sending it back to the adult scaly creature. "You've got guts."
The adult scaly creatures quickly lowered their heads, seemingly as an apology.
Zhao Feng paid no attention and followed the nine-armored creature toward the azure light that pierced the heavens and earth.
The closer you get to the center of Qingxu Realm, the more vibrant the life force becomes.
Zhao Feng stepped across a river that seemed to be suspended in mid-air.
The river flowed past his feet, but did not wet the soles of his boots.
Many small silver fish swam in the river, each exuding a faint aura of primordial chaos.
These small fish are not ordinary creatures.
As they move through the water, they swallow the impurities in the chaotic energy and then expel pure spiritual mist.
The nine Jia creatures walked in front.
Its body is large, but with each step it takes, it avoids the seedlings and water veins on the ground.
The people here clearly cherish this world.
Zhao Feng saw this and felt even more confident about the relocation of the clan.
If such a group were to enter the Qin territory, it wouldn't just be a matter of combat power.
It can also help Qin Realm stabilize the origin of heaven and earth.
The Qin Realm within the Chaos Pearl is still expanding and is in dire need of beings that are naturally capable of regulating chaotic energy.
The thunder-bodied creature followed behind Zhao Feng.
It remains on guard.
The lightning within his body had not completely dissipated.
Zhao Feng suddenly spoke up, "What's your name?"
The creature with the thunderous body was taken aback, seemingly unaccustomed to outsiders asking its name.
The nine creatures answered for it, "Its name is Qingting."
"I am Jia Li."
The lightning threads within Qing Ting's body trembled. "Outsider, what's your name?"
Zhao Feng spoke calmly, "Zhao Feng."
……
Before long, they arrived at the center of the Azure Ruins Realm.
This is a huge basin.
Twelve blue stone pillars stand around the basin.
Each stone pillar is engraved with ancient patterns.
At the top of the stone pillar, different weather phenomena such as water, fire, thunder, wind, mountains, and marshes flow, maintaining the cycle of the entire boundary.
In the center of the basin, a beam of blue light rose from the depths of the earth and soared into the sky.
Beneath the blue light, there was an ancient altar.
Many creatures of the Azure Ruins knelt around the altar.
As soon as Zhao Feng stepped into the basin, all living things raised their heads.
An aged voice rang out from beside the altar, “Outsider.”
A creature of not particularly large size emerged.
Its upper body is almost humanoid, but its lower body is tree roots, and it has three pairs of thin wings on its back.
Jia Li bowed down. "Priest, he saved the western wall. He killed the King of Swallowing Wall."
The surrounding ancient creatures emitted low, rumbling sounds.
The priest looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Jia Li has already spoken."
"You want to take the Qingxu Clan away."
What can you give us?
Zhao Feng raised his hand and made a gesture.
A thin crack appeared in the void.
The aura of the Chaos Pearl was only briefly revealed in the crevice.
A corner of the Qin border mountains and rivers is revealed.
The vast land is dotted with cities stretching as far as the eye can see, and spiritual veins crisscross the land.
Above the heavens, the flow of celestial energy and fortune exists.
Countless other creatures were active in the distance.
The scene only lasted a few breaths before Zhao Feng closed the crack.
The crystal core on the forehead of the Qingxu priest flickered violently.
Jia Li and Qing Ting were also stunned.
They had never seen that complete world.
Although the Azure Ruins Realm has life, it is in ruins everywhere.
But the Qin Realm is different.
That was a world on the rise.
The priest remained silent for a long time before asking, "Is that your world?"
Zhao Feng nodded, "That's right, this world is completely under my control."
Qing Ting couldn't help but ask, "In the palm of your hand?"
Zhao Feng raised his right hand, and a flash of chaotic energy passed through his palm.
The lightning lines within Qing Ting's body immediately contracted.
The priest's voice deepened, "If you control that realm, the Qingxu Clan entering it will be tantamount to entrusting their lives to you."
"good."
Zhao Feng admitted it very readily.
Many creatures immediately emitted uneasy tremors.
The sacrificial ceremony was not interrupted.
Zhao Feng continued, "You stay here and entrust your lives to the Chaos Sea."
"Follow me, and entrust your life to me."
"The difference is that the Chaos Sea won't negotiate with you."
"This seat will."
The light from the crystal core on the priest's forehead dimmed. "What are the conditions?"
Zhao Feng raised his hand and pointed to the azure light, "The Qingxu Clan migrated to the Qin Realm to guard its borders, fight for me, and stabilize the world for me."
"I will provide you with a place to rest."
"To ensure the continuation of your people."
“Your offspring will not have to live in constant fear from birth, and be killed at any moment.”
These words silenced many creatures in the basin.
In the distance, several young creatures were brought by adult members of their tribe. They hid behind stone pillars, with only half of their bodies showing.
The priest looked at the cubs.
Its roots slowly burrowed into the cracks in the altar stone, "You know how to exploit our weaknesses."
Zhao Feng's tone was calm. "I will only state the facts."
The priest closed the crystal core for a moment, then spoke again, "Relocating the clan is no small matter."
"If we leave, we will be turning our backs on the Creator."
Zhao Feng looked at the blue light behind the altar, "Therefore, I wish to see your Creator God."
The priest remained silent for a long time.
All the creatures of the Azure Ruins surrounding the basin lay prostrate on the ground. The patterns on the twelve azure stone pillars flickered, and the azure light from the boundary center flowed above the altar, illuminating the original patterns on each creature.
Zhao Feng stood before the altar, his black robes motionless.
He didn't urge him.
When it comes to relocating clans, forcing them too much can easily lead to chaos.
The crystal core on the priest's forehead lit up several times, and the tree roots sank deeper into the altar, as if listening to the voice from the depths of the realm's core.
After a long while, it raised its upper body and said, "Outsider, you saved the Qingxu Realm."
"If you wish to see the Creator God, then follow me into the Heart of the Realm."
Jia Li's massive body trembled slightly.
Lightning crackled within Qing Ting's body.
The surrounding creatures of Qingxu emitted low vibrations.
Clearly, not just anyone can enter the inner boundary.
Zhao Feng said calmly, "Lead the way."
As the priest turned around, the tree roots were pulled out from the cracks in the altar stone.
It walked up to the blue light, its wings pressed against its back, and a beam of blue light shot out from the crystal core on its forehead.
A doorway emerged from the blue light.
The gate was not tall, yet it felt unusually heavy.
As soon as it appeared, the twelve stone pillars trembled simultaneously, and six kinds of weather phenomena—water, fire, thunder, wind, mountain, and marsh—pressed down in an alternating manner.
Zhao Feng stood still, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Jia Li and Qing Ting both took a half step back.
The sacrificial ceremony turned back, and "the boundary only recognizes the origin of Qingxu."
"If outsiders try to force their way in, they will be blocked by the boundary restrictions left by the creator god."
Zhao Feng looked up at the door.
An ancient pattern was carved on the door.
A man rides an ox, carrying a sword on his back.
The pattern has been worn away by time, and the face is no longer visible.
Zhao Feng's heart stirred slightly, and he laughed, "A mere restriction, you think you can stop me?"
Just as the officiant was about to give a reminder, Zhao Feng had already stepped onto the altar.
boom!
The blue light inside the portal suddenly surged.
A sword aura cleaved out from the crack in the door, aiming straight for Zhao Feng's brow.
Zhao Feng raised his hand, and the Heavenly Emperor Seal flew out.
clang!
The Heavenly Emperor's Seal was sent flying three zhang backward by the shock. The sword energy was also crushed.
The creatures of Qingxu surrounding the altar were all stunned.
As the vertical seam of Jia's chest and abdomen opened and closed, his voice filled with shock, "The sword mark of the Creator God has been disturbed."
Zhao Feng raised his hand and took back the Heavenly Emperor Seal. "Interesting."
The second sword energy descended from the portal.
This time it's not one, but thirty-six.
Each strike targeted Zhao Feng's vital points; the sword's movements were extremely fast and decisive.
Zhao Feng raised his hand and pointed, and the phantom images of the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasures appeared around him. The Heavenly Emperor Seal, the Primordial World-Suppressing Bell, and the Great Destruction Primordial War Spear lit up at the same time.
The bell rang first.
The twelve sword energies in front were deflected by the impact.
Zhao Feng gripped the spear in his right hand and swept it horizontally.
The gray-white spear light cleaved through more than ten sword energies.
The remaining sword energy pierced the indestructible armor pattern, exploding into dense specks of light.
Instead of retreating, Zhao Feng advanced, taking another step forward.
Cracks have appeared on the stone surface of the altar.
A clear, melodious sword cry emanated from the portal.
This time, the blue light condensed into a blurry human figure.
The figure, carrying a long sword on his back, stood before the gate and pointed.
The energy flow of the entire basin was stirred up.
The twelve blue stone pillars simultaneously emitted beams of light, sealing off the four sides of the altar.
The creatures of Qingxu retreated in all directions.
The priest also retreated outside the stone pillar, the crystal core on his forehead trembling wildly. "Be careful, this is the guardian sword shadow left behind by the creator god."
Zhao Feng didn't care at all, and with a swift movement, he rushed out.
The gatekeeper raised his sword.
A cyan longsword materialized in his palm, and sword energy instantly roared forth.
As the sword energy struck Zhao Feng's head, the Hongmeng Town Bell met it head-on.
The bell wall and the sword blade collided.
Boom!
The ground in the basin collapsed in a ring.
Several young creatures from Qingxu were thrown out by the shockwave, while the adult members of the clan quickly used their bodies to shield themselves from the aftershocks.
Zhao Feng threw a punch with his left hand.
The divine elephant, suppressing the prison, roared powerfully.
Within the 840 million microparticle world, the power of the dragon and elephant surged, and the force of the fist rushed up along the bell wall, slamming into the chest of the guarding sword shadow.
Sword Shadow was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Jia Li lay on the ground, utterly shocked. "He repelled the sword shadow of the Creator God."
Lightning crackled wildly within Qing Ting's body. "This outsider is too fierce."
Before the gate, the sword-wielding figures of the gatekeeper solidified once more.
It remained silent, and flicked its green sword.
The sword light split into four gates.
Sword formation phantoms appeared simultaneously in the four directions of east, south, west, and north.
Sword energy flows within each door.
Zhao Feng glanced around. "The shadow of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?"
The guard's sword gave him no time to think.
All four doors opened simultaneously.
Countless cyan sword energies shot out, cutting crisscrossing sword marks into the stone surface around the altar.
Zhao Feng slammed the Great Destruction Primordial Spear into the ground.
The grayish-white power exploded, blocking the sword energy in front.
The Heavenly Emperor's Seal flew to the left and crushed Ximen's sword light.
The boundary bell of Hongmeng Town fell overhead, its sound drowning out the north and south gates.
Zhao Feng clenched his right fist and rammed directly into the east gate.
boom!
Jianmen collapsed.
The gatekeeper's sword shadow appeared behind the east gate, and the green sword pierced towards Zhao Feng's throat.
Zhao Feng dodged to the side, grabbed the sword shadow's wrist with his left hand, and slammed his right fist into its shoulder.
Sword Shadow's shoulder exploded.
With its other hand, it formed a sword shape with its fingers and thrust it towards Zhao Feng's chest.
Zhao Feng did not retreat, his indestructible armor markings on his chest withstanding the blow head-on.
puff!
The nail was pierced by half an inch, and blood splattered out.
Zhao Feng laughed instead, "You really do have some extraordinary abilities."
He exerted force with his five fingers and crushed the sword shadow's wrist.
Then he delivered a knee strike.
The gatekeeper's sword shadow was pierced through the chest.
The azure light within the portal surged wildly, attempting to re-condense the sword shadow.
Zhao Feng did not give it a chance.
The Heavenly Emperor's Seal pressed down from above.
The imperial emblem crashed into the sword shadow's remaining body.
boom!
The sword shadow shattered into countless blue rays.
All the pressure inside the portal dissipated instantly.
The twelve stone pillars fell silent once more.
The priest stared at the shattered sword marks on the altar and remained silent for a long while.
Zhao Feng retrieved the three treasures, turned to look at it, and asked, "Can we go in now?"
The priest bowed his upper body, saying, "You have defeated the gatekeeper's sword shadow; the creator god will not refuse you."
The portal is now fully open.
It wasn't a palace or a cave dwelling.
Instead, it was a road paved with blue light.
At the end of the road, there is an island suspended at the core of heaven and earth.
A huge green tree grows on the island.
Under the green tree stood a human-shaped statue.
Zhao Feng stepped through the door.
Sacrificial, Jiali, and Qingting followed behind.
The remaining creatures of Qingxu could only remain outside.
On both sides of Qingguang Road lies the rolling origin of the world.
The further Zhao Feng walked, the more he could feel the desolation of this world.
Although the core of the boundary is still functioning, it already has many hidden injuries inside.
In some places, the original geological fault is severe, and the area is only kept alive by twelve stone pillars.
No wonder the Azure Ruins Realm cracks open with every tide.
It's not that they didn't guard it well enough.
This world was never going to last long.
The priest spoke from behind, "When the Azure Ruins Realm was first created, it was not located deep within the Tide Sea."
"Later, the tide changed course, and the world was swept up here."
"Before the Creator God left, He left behind the Boundary Core and the Border Wall, which have allowed us to continue to this day."
Zhao Feng didn't turn around. "How long has he been gone?"
A said, “As far back as we can remember, the creator god has been in legends.”
Qing Ting added, "The late ancestor once said that the Creator God has gone to a larger battlefield."
Zhao Feng stopped in front of the green tree.
The statue under the tree was finally fully revealed.
That was a young Taoist priest.
He wore a long blue robe, had sharp eyebrows, carried a sword on his back, and sat astride a Kui ox.
Although the statue is made of stone, the spirit of swordsmanship is hidden in every fold of its clothing.
Zhao Feng stared at the statue, his gaze hardening. "It really is... the Tongtian Sect Master?"
The priest, Jia Li, and Qing Ting simultaneously prostrated themselves on the ground, saying, "The Creator God is above."
Zhao Feng looked at the statue, his heart filled with turmoil.
The Tongtian Sect Leader is clearly in the Qin Realm.
His current cultivation level is only around the fourth level of the Hongmeng Realm.
How did he become the creator god in the mouths of the Qingxu tribe?
Moreover, the aura emanating from this statue is definitely not fake.
Zhao Feng raised his hand and placed it on the altar in front of the statue.
The altar shook.
The sword behind the statue emitted a low hum.
The next moment, a lingering scene unfolds among the green branches and leaves.
The chaotic sea surged.
The Taoist in green robes rode the Kui Niu, riding the waves. Four swords swept across the sky behind him, cleaving through the horde of tidal beasts. Then, he cleaved into the shattered core of the world with one sword, forcibly creating the rudimentary form of the Azure Ruins World.
The image lasted only a few breaths before disappearing.
Zhao Feng withdrew his hand. "It really is him. No, perhaps... this is the true Tongtian Sect Master!"
He had long harbored doubts in his heart.
Back in the myriad worlds, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Li Qiye, Fang Han, and others were all just avatars left behind by powerful figures.
How could powerful beings like the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa be their true forms?
Now he has finally caught a glimpse, confirming some of his suspicions.
The priest raised his head. "Outsider, do you know the Creator God?"
Zhao Feng did not answer.
He turned around and tore open the void with his hand.
The aura of the Chaos Pearl appeared in his palm.
The Qin Realm passage opened. "Tongtian, come here."
