Chapter 178: Chapter 177: Consequences of Private Construction Why am I nervous? I’m not nervous! Nezha closed his eyes to carefully sense the information that Kong Xuan transmitted through divine skills, while directing Kong Xuan to locate the previously marked position and start digging. "A bit to the left, yes, that’s it, put some strength into it!" "Too far, move back up a little—yes, careful, don’t press too hard!" "Alright, alright, go down a bit—that can take more force." Outside, the array was set up using a formation, and Kong Xuan manipulated the Earth Element Divine Light to dig, dig, and keep digging. At first, their coordination was not aligned, but after some time, they became much more in sync. This precise manipulation of divine skills was clearly taxing for Kong Xuan, a seasoned Quasi-Saint who had already slain two corpses, and after every short while of construction, she needed to sit and meditate. Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu continued guiding Nezha in inspections and calculations. While segmented construction was slow, its advantage lay in its stability; even if an accident occurred, Nezha could address it promptly. "Only the last layer remains now. Sister Xuan can directly go down and break it herself." Kong Xian nodded slightly and descended into the magma below. Not long after, a dull "thud" echoed across the Primordial realm, and instantly, everyone turned their gaze toward the Southern Heaven. Kong Xuan broke through the ground before retreating swiftly to avoid being caught in Chaos. Though he could survive within Chaos, he feared drifting outside for an unknown amount of time, given the vast difference in the time flow between Primordial and Chaos, and the absence of a Saint to anchor his timelines. After more than half a year, with Nezha as the chief designer and Kong Xuan as the lead builder, an N-shaped passage was finally created. Chaotic Spiritual Energy began invading the Primordial realm through the corridor endlessly. The Undying Volcano trembled incessantly at this moment, followed by the uncontrollable joy of Yuan Feng: "Hahaha, I can finally have something warm to eat!" With one inhale, Yuan Feng’s true form beneath the magma turned the previously chaotic spiritual energy into a gray vortex and swallowed it whole. "Ah, so refreshing!" Nezha himself was unaffected since his karma was minor, and the Heavenly Court, underworld, Nantang, Taiping Sect, and Nuwa Palace had all divided the burden. He simply paid off his dues with some Heavenly Merit and walked away without trouble. Unlike Nezha, the Primordial Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly impose punishment for such destructive actions. The Phoenix Clan bore the brunt as their debts soared once again, causing all Phoenix Clan members to feel a sinking heaviness in their hearts. But as the saying goes, "When lice become plentiful, the itch no longer matters." So be it—more debts? Just let us repay them slowly! Next in line were the Yin Shang people. Being the Human Clan’s largest power at the time, Yin Shang bore the majority of the backlash from the disrupted Human Dao Qi Fortune. Inevitably, their Qi Fortune suffered damage, manifesting most visibly in the Shang-Zhou battlefield, where they repeatedly lost soldiers and generals. Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Ju Liusun wielded the Binding Immortal Rope with precision, capturing Shang generals one after the other. Ji Fa, knowing Wen Zhong had arrived at the battlefield, recognized that the war had entered its most perilous phase. He quickly led newly recruited troops to the frontline. Upon arrival, Ji Fa immediately took command as the highest leader. Ju Liusun caught one general, and Ji Fa killed one. Their strategy was pure hostility—no mercy allowed. The Shang Army, facing Ju Liusun’s Earth Escape paired with the Binding Immortal Rope, found themselves helpless. Ultimately, they sought aid from Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to deploy Treasure Money to neutralize the Binding Immortal Rope. But Shen Gongbao was unaware that Ju Liusun was highly vigilant. Since the Sealing God War began, Ju Liusun spent most of his free time hiding in his cave refining the Binding Immortal Rope. Items like the Binding Immortal Rope and Dragon Binding Rope function similarly, differing in specialization and refinement methods. Ju Liusun’s mentor, Mr. Guan, was the source of his knowledge from Yuxu Palace’s ancient texts. The next day, when Ju Liusun released the Binding Immortal Rope again, Xiao Sheng, who seemed distracted fighting Huang Long, acted quickly and hurled Treasure Money. The Binding Immortal Rope, intended to ensnare an enemy, instantly lost its spirituality and fell alongside Treasure Money into Xiao Sheng’s hands. Just as Xiao Sheng was about to laugh wildly, two Binding Immortal Ropes emerged from the ground—one tied Xiao Sheng, and the other secured Cao Bao. Suddenly, both felt their mana obstructed and could no longer use it. Their armor, losing mana support, ceased functioning almost entirely. Huang Long, with his sharp eyes and quick movements, flicked his longsword to knock Treasure Money high into the air. The terrifying power of Treasure Money had been witnessed by both sides over this period; upon seeing it sparkle with golden light in mid-air, everyone’s attention instantly focused on it. The first to act was Ju Liusun, who unleashed his mana to propel his stout figure into the sky. Facing him, Wen Zhong activated his Heavenly Eye, sending a blue Divine Light directly at Ju Liusun. On the West Zhou side, Yang Jian followed suit, opening his Heavenly Eye to shield Ju Liusun from Wen Zhong’s attack with his blue Divine Light. Gao Lanying, wife of Mianchi’s commander Zhang Kui, who had once killed Deng Chanyu in their original timeline, pulled out the Red Gourd at her waist and aimed it at Yang Jian. Yang Jian, seeing the dazzling light bursting forth, felt his three eyes sting sharply and immediately transformed into a small insect to escape. Gao Lanying’s forty-nine Sun God Needles all hit nothing. Ju Liusun was extremely cautious. Although his cultivation exceeded Wen Zhong’s by several levels and he had the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe for protection, he still refused to directly face Wen Zhong’s Heavenly Eye Divine Skill. At this moment, Yang Ren and Lei Zhenzi ignored the airborne Treasure Money completely. Their priority was capturing Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. These two had flaunted their treasures arrogantly for days, and Yang Ren and Lei Zhenzi were utterly fed up! Bound by the Binding Immortal Rope, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao relied on their armor’s defensive capabilities to survive, unable to do anything else. They were promptly hauled back to the Zhou Camp by Lei Zhenzi and Yang Ren, awaiting execution after the battle. Treasure Money, struck by Wen Zhong’s divine skill, flew into Outer Heaven, where a shadowy figure retrieved it. With Treasure Money’s threat eliminated, the West Zhou side attacked like wild tigers unleashed, boldly activating their magical treasures to assault the Shang Army. The Shang generals, valiant as ever, barely held off the Zhou Army’s offensive, while the Chan Sect Immortals once again idled and refused to engage mortals. Post-battle, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao had no opportunity to plead for themselves. Their magical treasures were confiscated entirely, and then they were subjected to Lei Zhenzi and Yang Ren’s merciless killing—a thousand cuts for each! Their deaths were horrifyingly gruesome, and their True Spirits ascended to the ranking list! Reclaiming their equipment, Yang Ren and Lei Zhenzi received further upgrades and modifications from Yun Zhongzi and Taiyi, making their gear over ten times more powerful than before. Lei Zhenzi, now compared to the original timeline’s Nezha, displayed a completely superior level of combat power. Coupled with his Golden Wings, he had unmatched speed and destructive force. Even if Yang Jian faced him head-on, he would stand no chance against the fully armed Lei Zhenzi. As for the Shang generals—well, their luck had truly run out. Now utterly enraged by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao and driven by tribulation energy clouding his mind, Lei Zhenzi no longer hesitated. Killing was the only solution!
