"I will give you three acquired spiritual treasures, and from now on you will be the most honored guest in the Blood Sea."
Styx was still not giving up and tried to negotiate terms.
However, Yi Shuihan didn't even glance at him, leaving him utterly embarrassed.
"It's impossible for me to become your mount. How about I fight for you with all my might 10 times instead? I swear to the heavens that if my life isn't in danger when I fight, I will definitely go all out, otherwise my cultivation will never improve."
"There is no option to take 10 shots."
The condition of Kunpeng, which others considered very sincere, held no appeal for Yi Shuihan.
With a gloomy expression, Kunpeng was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, but he was powerless against Yi Shuihan and could only stare helplessly.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, we're here! Don't worry, hold on!"
Just then, a loud shout rang out, followed by the sound of the formation being attacked.
"Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi?"
Although he knew it didn't matter whether they came or not, Yi Shuihan was still quite moved by their actions. The fact that they were able to come in such a short time was enough to show how much Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi valued him.
The formation was attacked, but Di Jun and his men were not alarmed but rather delighted. They made a show of stalling for time, planning to escape as soon as the formation was broken.
Yi Shuihan saw through this little scheme, but he didn't expose it. Did he really think that he could escape without the formation?
Two minutes later, the formation broke. When Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun rushed in anxiously, they were stunned by what they saw, and their expressions turned strange.
Upon discovering that the nameless mountain where Yi Shuihan was located was shrouded in an array, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi knew that Yi Shuihan had been born. Someone must be trying to seize the Primordial Purple Qi. For this reason, they spared no effort and rushed over at the fastest speed to save Yi Shuihan. After all, no matter how strong Yi Shuihan was, he was not a saint and would definitely not gain an advantage in the face of the siege of a group of quasi-saints.
But can someone tell me what's going on? Why do I feel like Yi Shuihan might have the upper hand against Di Jun and Kunpeng?
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, are you trying to ascend to heaven?"
Hongyun blurted out this sentence in a daze. It was something she had learned from Yishui Hankou, and it meant something powerful.
Chapter 1050, Terrifying Speed
Zhen Yuanzi had overestimated Yi Shuihan's strength many times, but now he felt that he had underestimated him. What Yi Shuihan was showing was not the method of a quasi-saint at all. He would believe it if someone said that Yi Shuihan was the number one person below the saint.
Perhaps he could even fight a saint?
The sudden thought startled even Zhen Yuanzi himself. He then gently shook his head, easily walked to Yi Shuihan's side, and locked his aura onto Di Jun and the others.
"The Dao Ancestor once said that the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden away. Naturally, everyone wants to seize the opportunity to become a saint. I think Fellow Daoist Taiyi should be able to understand our actions. This can be seen as your tribulation. Since Fellow Daoist has the strength to overcome the tribulation, we acknowledge that the Primordial Purple Qi is indeed yours. Farewell."
After saying these nonsensical words to Yi Shuihan, Di Jun instantly transformed into a three-legged golden crow. With a flap of his wings, a gale arose, and in a single breath, he was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun moved in perfect sync, escaping at almost the same time.
"Why don't you leave?"
Yi Shuihan looked at the Styx River with a puzzled expression. He knew that even if the Kunpeng ran, it might not be able to outrun the Styx River, and Nuwa and Fuxi had already agreed to the terms, so there was nothing to fear. The fact that the Styx River wasn't running away was indeed somewhat unexpected for Yi Shuihan.
"Can't run away."
Styx looked at Yi Shuihan with apprehension and replied that he had originally planned to escape, but he suddenly realized that his speed was slower than Kunpeng's. Kunpeng had been chased for two days, which meant that Yi Shuihan's speed was definitely not slower than Kunpeng's, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep up so closely.
Is Styx so easily defeated? Of course not. Ten thousand blood clones have already come from his lair, the Blood Sea. As long as he can buy a little more time, he has a way to send Yuan Tu Abi back to the Blood Sea. Even if Yi Shuihan chases him to the Blood Sea, he won't be afraid. He can't beat Yi Shuihan, but he can still hide. As long as the Blood Sea doesn't dry up, Styx won't die. And to make the Blood Sea dry up, at least a Quasi-Saint definitely can't do it, and even a Saint might not be able to.
The Blood Sea exists in the primordial world for a reason. If anyone were to destroy the Blood Sea, they would surely be punished by heaven. Styx believed that as long as he didn't court death, he would definitely not die.
"Just let them go like that?"
Dozens of breaths passed, and Yi Shuihan still hadn't made a move. Nuwa couldn't help but think so, and at the same time, she was a little annoyed. If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred not to agree to Yi Shuihan's conditions.
"It's almost time."
As Yi Shuihan spoke, he did some warm-up exercises, such as jogging in place and stretching his back, which left Zhen Yuanzi and the others completely baffled.
"be right back."
There's no need to even talk about waiting, because there really isn't any waiting.
With the first breath, Yi Shuihan traversed a million miles in a single step; with the second breath, he appeared in front of Di Jun; with the third breath, he easily grabbed Di Jun; with the fourth breath, he grabbed Donghuang Taiyi; and with the sixth breath, he returned to his original position.
Only then did Zhen Yuanzi and the others realize what Yi Shuihan had gone to do; the matter was already completed.
They stared in astonishment at Yi Shuihan, who was carrying a golden crow in each hand, all shocked by his terrifying speed and strength.
"Was he just playing with me last time? With that kind of speed, I would have been dead countless times already."
Kunpeng was devastated. It didn't run away, but it was afraid of living that kind of life of being chased. In fact, it still believed that as long as it ran at full speed, Yi Shuihan would not be able to catch it. However, reality dealt it a heavy blow. Yi Shuihan's speed was far beyond its own.
"Since you left without leaving the Chaos Bell behind, then you can all stay. My shop is short two employees."
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi struggled frantically upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words. It was the first time they had heard the term "shop assistant," but they vaguely understood its meaning—Yi Shuihan intended to make them his subordinates!
How could a dignified demon emperor, the supreme ruler of the heavens, submit to Yi Shuihan? Di Jun was not lacking in fierce spirit; even with his wings broken from struggling, he did not stop.
Seeing that physical forces could not overcome Yi Shuihan, Di Jun simply released the True Fire of the Sun, turning his entire body into a huge ball of flame. The surrounding temperature instantly rose by hundreds of thousands of degrees and continued to rise.
Given enough time, Di Jun's Solar True Fire could reach a temperature comparable to the core of the Sun, which is a temperature of one or two hundred million degrees Celsius. This would be enough to bake the entire prehistoric world alive, and most of the creatures in the prehistoric world would die as a result.
If it were anyone else, they would at least use their magic to protect their hands in such high temperatures, but Yi Shuihan was different. He held Di Jun's hand without any reaction, as if the high temperature did not exist.
Di Jun had indeed miscalculated. Yi Shuihan's constitution made him extremely immune to fire attacks, so this temperature was nothing to him.
However, Yi Shuihan was unharmed, but the surrounding area suffered. The drought demon's appearance turned the land into a scorched wasteland, and the appearance of the golden crow was even more terrifying. In just a few dozen breaths, tens of thousands of miles around had been turned into scorched earth, and this area was still expanding at an even faster rate.
"boom"
They simply knocked Di Jun unconscious, thus preventing a catastrophe.
"Heaven is really stingy. If it were anyone else, surely some merit would have been bestowed upon them! If I hadn't stopped them in time, the death toll would have been at least over a hundred million."
If Heaven knew Yi Shuihan's thoughts, it would definitely curse him as shameless. All of this was caused by Yi Shuihan, and he still wants a reward. It would be good enough if he didn't increase his karma.
"You can have the Chaos Bell, and I can stay as a shop assistant, on the condition that my elder brother is spared."
Donghuang Taiyi's tone carried a hint of pleading. The only reason he would do this was because it concerned his elder brother, Dijun.
"You are kind and righteous, but I... will not agree."
Yi Shuihan originally wanted to refuse, but he received a warning from the Heavenly Dao. Di Jun was an extremely important pawn of the Heavenly Dao. If Yi Shuihan really took Di Jun in as a shop assistant, the Heavenly Dao would directly suppress Yi Shuihan, because this would be equivalent to changing the course of events.
"Nuwa, Fuxi, take him with you! When he wakes up, tell him he's welcome to come again, provided he has enough money to redeem himself."
Chapter 1051, Subduing Kunpeng and Styx
After Nuwa and the others left, only Kunpeng and Styx remained to besiege Yi Shuihan. Donghuang Taiyi was no longer considered Yi Shuihan's subordinate.
"Have you thought it through? I'll give you 10 more seconds. If you don't agree to become my mount, then I'll have to send you on your way."
"10, 9..."
Yi Shuihan didn't give Kunpeng any extra time to think; he quickly counted down.
At the same time, Yi Shuihan's aura continued to grow stronger, putting pressure on Kunpeng.
"He wasn't bluffing me; he really intended to attack me."
As the life-or-death crisis intensified, Kunpeng's mind went almost blank. There was immense terror in the face of life and death, and no matter how strong Kunpeng was, he still knelt down in the face of this life-or-death crisis, unable to confront it directly.
"I agree, I agree."
When Yi Shuihan said "1", Kunpeng finally couldn't bear the pressure and shouted loudly.
"Very good, from now on you will be my mount, hmm, little Kun Kun."
Yi Shuihan spoke with a smile, showing no sign that he had just been about to kill Kunpeng.
"Little Kunkun?"
Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's address to him, Kunpeng nearly coughed up blood. What the hell is this "Little Kunkun"? I'm clearly much older than you!
When one cultivates to a certain level, one's appearance can remain unchanged, even millions of years after death. While one cannot accurately determine a person's age, one can roughly judge it based on their aura. The intense vitality emanating from Yi Shuihan allowed Kunpeng to determine that he was less than ten thousand years old. Perhaps there was an error, but he was definitely not as old as Kunpeng.
"Actually, compared to Kunpeng, my ending is not bad."
Donghuang Taiyi was initially very unwilling, but after seeing Kunpeng's fate, he suddenly felt much better. No matter how miserable he was, he couldn't compare to Kunpeng!
It's easy to imagine that if news of what happened here today got out, the most talked-about topic would definitely be Kunpeng, a dignified Quasi-Saint who actually became the mount of another Quasi-Saint just to save his own life.
Although Donghuang Taiyi became a shop assistant at Yishuihan, he was a loyal and righteous person who did it for his brother, which can be described as enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, and everyone can understand him.
Of course, aside from the initial impact, Yi Shuihan's strength will completely shock the prehistoric world. In the future, anyone who wants to covet Yi Shuihan's Primordial Purple Qi should consider whether their strength is as great as that of Di Jun and the others.
"You're the only one left!"
Facing Yi Shuihan, who was eyeing him menacingly, Minghe was on the verge of tears. He suddenly lost confidence in protecting Yuan Tu Abi. Now he was facing six opponents, and he had to face Yi Shuihan, who could easily defeat six opponents. Even if he summoned all his blood clones, he definitely couldn't win!
"Is it really impossible to protect Yuan Tu and Abi?"
Styx's mind raced, and finally he came up with a solution that was hardly a solution at all.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, do you need any more people? I think I'd be perfect to be your shop assistant!"
"..."
That's ruthless! There are even people willingly offering themselves up. If it were me, I would never consider being a shop assistant even if I lost Yuan Tu A Bi. Becoming a shop assistant means losing everything. Although losing Yuan Tu A Bi is a great loss, it's just a treasure, and I can always find another one later.
Yi Shuihan was also somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, he knew what Minghe was planning. Minghe was different from the others in the prehistoric world; he possessed not just a few digits, but tens of thousands of clones. Using one clone to exchange for two innate spiritual treasures was definitely a worthwhile deal.
"My Taiyi is truly amazing."
Hongyun looked at everything in amazement and gave Yi Shuihan a thumbs up. It was the first time he had seen Yi Shuihan so domineering. For some reason, seeing this scene made him feel inexplicably good.
"Become my employee? That's possible, but only if you leave Yuan Tu Abi behind as well."
The first part of the sentence made Styx's heart leap with joy, but the second part made his heart sink again.
"Forehead"
Styx continued to think of a solution, but suddenly found that his hand was much lighter. Yuan Tu A Bi was no longer in his grasp. Looking towards Yi Shui Han, he indeed found his Yuan Tu A Bi.
"Wow, it looks pretty impressive, but the quality is low. But I don't mind, it's still good as a decoration in the shop."
Looking at Yuan Tu Abi, Yi Shuihan said these words.
"This is deliberately meant to annoy me. That's a primordial spiritual treasure, and they actually say it's of low quality and is only meant to be a decoration."
Styx was furious! If he wasn't absolutely certain that he couldn't do anything to Yi Shuihan, and that even self-destruction wouldn't harm Yi Shuihan, he definitely wouldn't have minded self-destructing.
"Ugh!"
With a sigh, Styx turned to leave. He really didn't want to stay in this sad place any longer. Today was incredibly unlucky. Not only did he fail to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, but he also lost his companion spiritual treasure.
Minghe had no desire for revenge. Yi Shuihan's power prevented him from having any thoughts of vengeance. Unless he could go further and become a saint, he could only bury Yuan Tu Abi deep in the depths of his memory.
"We are indeed short one more shop assistant. Hmm, we'll find another one another day and teach him how to use Yuan Tu A Bi for self-defense."
The sound was very soft, yet it still entered Styx's ears with unwavering determination. He stiffened, feeling uncomfortable at the thought of his magical treasure being in someone else's hands.
"I'm willing to stay and become your employee. Give me the Yuan Tu A Bi for self-defense! I won't take them back to the Blood Sea."
"I don't think you're suitable to be a shop assistant. You look too fierce and will scare customers away."
"I have the power of transformation; I can change into whatever you want."
This was the first time in many years that Styx had ever heard someone insult his appearance. Normally, he would have already lost his temper, but now, he could only endure it and force a smile.
"Alright! I'll reluctantly accept you."
Yi Shuihan pretended that making this decision was a great decision, little did he know that Zhen Yuanzi and the others, who were watching the commotion from the sidelines, were already thinking a million things.
"This must be what Fellow Daoist Taiyi meant by showing off! I'd love to try it myself."
Hongyun seemed to be deep in thought.
Well, Yi Shuihan had no idea that Hongyun's originally pure heart had been corrupted by him step by step. But this might be a good thing for Hongyun. People who know how to show off are much better than simple-minded people. Showing off is a profound art. If one can master it, one's emotional intelligence will definitely increase a lot.
Chapter 1052, The Opening of the Multiverse System Shop
"I underestimated the allure of the Primordial Purple Qi. If it were Hongyun instead, I doubt he could have survived even if he had hidden in my Wuzhuang Temple."
Zhen Yuanzi silently thought that Wuzhuang Temple's defenses could definitely withstand six Quasi-Saints, but if these six Quasi-Saints were in their current formation, even if he could hold them off for a while, it wouldn't last long, and in the end, he might not even be able to protect himself.
Who says six Quasi-Saints are all there is? Unless he can defeat six Quasi-Saints head-on like Yi Shuihan did, there will definitely be more opportunists. There is no such thing as a thousand days of thievery, but no one can guard against thieves for a thousand days. No matter how tight the defense is, it will eventually reveal a flaw. It is far better to take the initiative to attack.
“Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun have come from afar, why don’t you stay here for a few days? I’ll treat you to a big meal.”
"Great, great! I've been looking forward to Fellow Daoist Taiyi's delicious food for a long time."
Hongyun shouted like a child, it's hard to understand why he still has the heart of a child after living for so many years.
The culinary arts of the prehistoric world have not yet been developed. Although various innate spiritual creatures do not need to be cooked and are delicious to eat directly, they would taste ten times better if they were processed with gourmet food.
