Chapter 508 The Holy Land of the Heretical Path, A Grand Filial Piety in the Hall
Countless rays and radiation react with matter in the air, forming a blue-purple color, while intense light emanates from the inner ring.
A blurry figure clad in golden armor stood amidst the sun-like light, the scorching aura distorting the space and creating an image that was both real and illusory.
Bai Ze lowered his eyes, avoiding the light, and said softly, "The past is reappearing."
The scene before my eyes changed, as if time had reversed, recreating the images from three days ago.
The past of this mountain range is recreated through images.
A golden figure soared from the mountaintop, its raised right hand gathering intense light, causing countless particles to burst forth and evolve into a magnificent yet dangerous light explosion.
Immediately, a giant hand appeared in the air and shattered the top of the volcano in front of them with a single punch.
Magma erupted, and extreme heat rose, forming a fiery storm.
But the figure ignored it and rushed straight into the open volcano.
Seeing this, Bai Ze avoided the illusory figure in front of him and looked towards the distant volcano.
A dilapidated mountain sat amidst golden-red lava, which was still gushing forth.
The surrounding valleys were filled with golden-red hues, and the area for hundreds of miles around resembled a giant furnace, churning with lava.
Moreover, your intense radiation energy remained on that magma, and the boiling flames mingled with the magma and radiation energy, evolving into strange and bizarre beast shadows.
Bai Ze's divine sense extended through the magma, allowing him to sense what had happened several days prior.
The god of the mortal realm rushed into the crater and collided with a burst of flames.
The raging flames roared like beasts, transforming into images of fire phoenixes, fire snakes, and fire beasts, with countless fire crows swirling around it, only to be blasted to death by a single punch from the god of the mortal realm.
Finally, the god of the mortal realm blasted the flames that had transformed into a fire dragon into the magma, and then plunged into the magma himself, disappearing from sight.
Because the power of the gods on earth was so intense, it had a great impact on the air and even space, making the images appear blurry.
Even so, Bai Ze could still feel that extreme destructive power.
If Pei Dongliu's "Heavenly Dao Killing Fist" is the ultimate in power, then the God of the Mortal Realm represents the ultimate in strength and destructive power.
A nuclear explosion of tens of millions of tons was condensed into the fist of a god on earth, each punch being the ultimate burst of power.
Bai Ze had previously conjured up a nuclear explosion with his bare hands, but he could never concentrate the power of a nuclear explosion into a single punch like a god among men.
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
As for the opportunity obtained by the gods on earth:
Bai Ze floated off the cliff, gazing at the fiery beast on the lava, which sometimes took form and sometimes collapsed.
Without a doubt, the opportunities nurtured by the immortal volcano belong to the fire element.
Judging from the scene alone, it should be a flame possessing sentience and vitality. Its residual aura and power caused the magma and flames to evolve spontaneously, and over time, it is very likely that a special kind of fiery life will emerge.
"The flames capable of evolving life are quite fitting for the immortality of the Undying Volcano, and also consistent with the power attributes of the gods of the mortal realm."
The uranium crystal battle body of the god among men possesses ultimate destructive power, while the flames demonstrate the power of creation.
Although the two seem to be completely opposite, they can actually complement each other in essence.
No wonder the gods of the mortal realm have been locked in a standoff with the god of war for it for many years.
"However, judging from the atmosphere at the scene, it seems that the collision between the god of the mortal realm and that raging flame was quite intense."
As Bai Ze speculated, he lowered the altitude.
As the distance increases, the collision of the two different forces becomes more palpable.
Magma and flames took shape with the power of creation, forming a rough form, which was then destroyed by radiation and nuclear energy, causing the body to collapse.
The god of the mortal realm did not choose to refine the flame, but instead engaged in the fiercest confrontation with it.
The conflict between the two continues for thousands of miles around, with their lingering auras locked in a relentless battle.
The more Bai Ze sensed, the stranger his expression became.
"I think I understand the intentions of the gods on earth."
If we understand it according to the culture of Dongxia, destruction and creation are two sides of the same coin, like yin and yang, mutually generating and restraining each other.
However, the gods on earth did not consider this aspect.
Or rather, he considered it, but still chose to confront it.
If the flame representing creation is shattered by the nuclear energy of the gods on earth, then it means that the flame is nothing special. By destroying creation, the divine will of the gods on earth can be elevated.
If that flame is never defeated, then the gods of the mortal realm will refine it and create something new from it.
The two paths are completely opposite, especially the former, which has been guarded for so many years, only to ruin the opportunity.
But if you look into it more closely, it's essentially about improving your strength.
The god worshipped by this Western Union member is a rabbit-headed party member.
He doesn't care which path he takes.
Or rather, he has always been on the path of power.
From beginning to end, it was all about increasing power, and forging ahead on the path of proving the Dao through power.
If possible, even going to extremes and pursuing destruction to the extreme is not out of the question.
From the perspective of Dongxia culture, this is simply a heretical path, but it must be admitted that the heretical path of the gods on earth has been quite successful. Taking it to the extreme and going to the extreme, it is not impossible to reach the end.
At least in practicing their own way, the gods on earth have never changed their original intention, which is to pursue power.
Judging from the actions of a god among mortals, he should have already left, otherwise this place wouldn't be so peaceful. But my retrospective didn't find him emerging from the volcano again, which means that Bai Ze's gaze fell upon the volcano.
Nine out of ten gods on earth left directly from underground lava rivers.
He took away the flame of creation, indicating that the gods on earth had won this battle.
As for whether the gods of the mortal realm ultimately destroyed the Flame of Creation or refined and absorbed it, there is currently no conclusion.
While the gods on earth may act forcefully, they are not solely reliant on power.
He also found it difficult to erase all traces, so he simply destroyed the scene in the most brutal way and then left through the underground lava river, making it difficult for later investigators to track him down.
However, this also means that the gods on earth need time.
As he pondered, Bai Ze's figure transformed into light, his crimson fire elemental divine light merging with the surrounding flames, even able to communicate with the residual radiation energy and aura of the gods in the mortal realm.
There are at most three people in the world who can manually create a nuclear explosion.
One is a god among mortals, one is Bai Ze, and the remaining one is Rhine. However, it is not yet certain whether Rhine has reached this level, so it is said to be "at most three people".
From a martial arts perspective, Bai Ze is clearly the rightful heir to the human god.
With the same attribute of power and the ability to make words come true, Bai Ze easily blended into the opposing environment and moved freely across the lava lake.
Soon, he approached the volcano whose upper half had been blasted apart.
The shattered mountain fell onto the lava lake, leaving behind a landscape dotted with strange rocks and stone pillars of all sizes.
Bai Ze darted swiftly between the stone pillars, about to enter the volcano.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared, like a giant black serpent, slithering and flying through the air.
The piercing howl was like a thunderclap, erupting in mid-air.
Despite being in an extremely hot environment, Bai Ze felt a chill at this moment, and as far as he could see, countless pitch-black faces rushed in.
"Um?"
The crimson divine light paused, and Bai Ze raised his hand within the light, his five fingers loosely clenched, "Return to Nothingness."
The divine light suddenly changed, transforming from the fire element into a pure and holy aura, making Bai Ze, who was within it, appear as if a Buddha had descended to earth, with golden Brahma light shining brightly.
"Sneer"
Faces vanished one by one, and the mist surged.
At the same time, a powerful surge of mental energy swept in and collided violently with the pure and holy light.
"Thump—"
Suddenly, waves surged on the lava lake, an invisible force pushing back the blazing heat, forming a crimson tide that swept in all directions.
The giant, serpentine black aura dissipated, and a pale white sword light retreated, flying through the air and landing on top of a stone pillar in front of it, where it was caught by a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest wore a black robe, which was surrounded by yin energy, and illusory human faces would occasionally appear on it.
The man had a black topknot and three long wisps of beard, resembling an ancient Taoist from Dongxia. However, his emerald green eyes and slightly deep-set eyes indicated that he was not a member of the Dongxia Taoist sect, but rather of mixed Western descent.
The pale sword light revealed its true form in the Taoist's hand. It was a sword made entirely of bone, with a blade as sharp as a whip and covered with joints. If Bai Ze was not mistaken, it should be made from a human spine.
Strangely, despite being a sword made from human bones and surrounded by yin energy, forming a faint, ethereal soul, the sword itself did not possess much malevolence or resentment.
This is also why Bai Ze's "Return to Nothingness" did not completely suppress it before.
The seemingly ferocious human-faced tide does not possess deep-seated malevolence or resentment. Its strongest aspect lies in its powerful mental strength, which prevents the Pure Saint Brahma Light from exerting its ultimate restraining power.
"A heretical martial artist from the Western Alliance," Bai Ze said, immediately identifying the other party.
Just by looking at their tactics, you can tell they're not on the right path.
Such soul-refining techniques are universally condemned in Dongxia. Cultivators are either buried alive or flee Dongxia to operate outside the region.
What India has no shortage of is this kind of unorthodox martial artist.
However, the evil martial artists from the Buddhist and Taoist sects are all filled with malevolent energy and are easily countered by pure Buddhist and Taoist martial arts.
Buddhist and Taoist martial artists love hunting them down. Every year, a large number of Buddhist and Taoist martial artists form teams to go abroad to hunt down evil martial artists and earn points.
The man before them was clearly not an experienced newbie; he didn't seem to be tainted with much malevolence.
Then there's only one answer.
That comes from the Western Alliance, a holy land of heretical martial arts practitioners.
While the Western Alliance does indeed have a prevalence of new martial arts, it doesn't mean they don't practice true martial arts. The Ashford Academy in Japan was established by Western Alliance members specifically for the purpose of practicing true martial arts.
After all, Zhenwu's life-extending function is really appealing.
Meanwhile, the Western Alliance has been recruiting True Warriors, and many True Warriors have settled in the Western Alliance as a result.
There are also some True Martial practitioners in the Western Alliance who settled there before the Martial Arts Era. They leverage their cultural advantages to cultivate True Martial Arts in the Western Alliance and have secured a place for themselves.
For example, the Western Union Major General Glion we met before came from a family of Eastern Xia descendants surnamed Ge. However, he did not cultivate True Martial Arts, but instead chose Genetic New Martial Arts.
As for why Western Union is also known as the "Holy Land of Heretical Martial Arts":
That's because of Western Union's unique national circumstances.
Human bones and blood can be bought with money. As long as you pay enough, you can even sell dead souls.
Although the evil skills and weapons cultivated using this method lack resentment and are somewhat less lethal, the probability of going astray is also minimized, and the cultivation speed far exceeds that of righteous martial arts.
Many unorthodox martial artists have thus embarked on a path of transforming evil into righteousness, achieving a unity of good and evil. They practice unorthodox techniques, but their foundation is directly comparable to that of orthodox martial arts.
Given such circumstances, which heretical martial artist wouldn't praise it as a "holy land of heretical martial arts cultivation"?
The orthodox path has indeed been taken over by Western Union.
"Your Excellency has exceptional insight."
The blue-eyed, mixed-race Taoist priest, holding his sword, bowed and said, "This humble Taoist priest is Greg, whose Taoist name is Yin Xuanzi. I greet Chief Bai of Dongxia."
"The Ge family?" Bai Ze raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed," the Taoist said. "My nephew is Ge Liang, who fought against Chief Bai in Ying Kingdom. He was greatly amazed by Chief Bai's strength. Today, I have seen him in person and realized that seeing is believing."
This mixed-race Taoist was very polite; anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the one who had attacked with his sword earlier was someone else.
Yin Xuanzi Grek is the kind of evil martial artist who turned evil into good. He has a deep foundation and his realm has reached the nine stars, which is quite remarkable among the nine stars.
However... if you want to block Bai Ze's path, you're not qualified.
Kill him in five moves at most.
Seeing the radiant light emanating from Bai Ze and the surge of pure and holy energy, Yin Xuanzi hurriedly called out, "Chief Bai, please wait! I have not come here to oppose you, but to deliver a message to you. My attack just now was also to test your strength."
"The god of the mortal realm has now entered the depths of the desert. If Chief Bai wishes to know his whereabouts, this humble Taoist is willing to guide him."
The aura surrounding Bai Ze paused.
Give me directions?
Looking for a god among mortals?
"How dare you betray the gods of the mortal realm?" Bai Ze stared at the half-human Taoist who had lost all his courage.
"What are you saying, Chief Bai? Although I am in the Western Alliance, my heart is in the Eastern Xia. We are compatriots, and compatriots should help each other." Yin Xuanzi said, but under Bai Ze's gaze, he gave an awkward smile and couldn't say anything more.
Although Bai Ze is still a college student, he doesn't possess that kind of clear-headed foolishness.
Just listen to that and leave it at that; anyone who believes it is a fool.
Yin Xuanzi would never betray the gods of the mortal realm for such a reason, so... "Is the general behind you?" Bai Ze asked.
The god on earth needs time to process what he has learned, and for him, not going to war is actually the best outcome.
But in the Western Union, there are those who need war.
Therefore, the whereabouts of the gods on earth were sold.
If Yin Xuanzi has a general behind him, then that would truly be... a great act of filial piety in a chaotic situation.
