Chapter 1170: Pagoda

Clement suddenly found himself unable to muster any form of resistance the moment he saw the young man.
And the stark difference in power made him realize something immediately. “Outer God?!”
“Outer God? God? Haha. What an arrogant title. The gods that I’ve defeated are already uncountable…” The young man in Han clothing shook his head. “And now I finally know that you’re just another dog reared by a Dao Ancestor!”
“Hehe… I might just be a dog of the Creator, but didn’t I grab your attention?” Clement smiled calmly, seeming to realize something. “Weren’t all the benefits of this universe gained by the Creator behind me?”
After all, he had experienced reincarnation missions on numerous occasions, so his thoughts were clear, and he understood everything immediately.
“How dare you!” The young man in Han clothing flicked his finger.
A thunderbolt talisman formed, and clouds gathered, enveloping Clement within.
Whoosh!
The cyan thunderbolt broke through all of Clement’s defenses and his flesh, making him scream.
“How’s the taste of my Thunder Biting God? Rest assured. After I’m done cooking you, I’ll go and meet the master behind you. Anyone who dares to snatch my stuff is dead meat…”
The young man in Han clothing waved his hand, and the cyan thunderbolt transformed into a flying dragon about to swallow Clement whole.
“Really?”
But the next moment, the roar of the lightning dragon changed into a shriek as a saber beam cut it in two.
Fang Yuan’s figure emerged from the void. He looked at the heavily injured Clement and frowned slightly. He waved his hand, and this Netherheaven Demon God disappeared into the Creator Space.
“Dream Dao Fruit!”
The young man in Han clothing was startled when he saw Fang Yuan, and then he burst out laughing immediately afterward. “Friend, you’re really creative to have made the Creator’s light ball!”
“Better than you. You obtained a cheat transmigrating to another world, and now you think you’re a Dragon Proud Sky1 and above all?” Fang Yuan stood tall and gazed at this young man in Han clothing.
Since the other party did not express the least bit of goodwill, he would not act polite either.
However, he did not think that he would actually run into another Dao Ancestor traverser who came to aid this universe. It was truly an unexpected surprise.
“In front of me, Wang She, what does a Dragon Proud Sky count as?” The young man in Han clothing waved without a care. “I’m not only a traverser, but I was also born with great providence. After obtaining my cheat, I killed all the immortals and destroyed all Buddhas along the way, and I finally achieved Dao Fruit. Several universes are reciting my achievements… But I didn’t expect your existence. Not only had you snatched away the other half of the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit, but you also found the fire seed of the Huaxia civilization before me…”
As soon as they met, they could feel the aura of the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit on each other.
It had to be said that they were both people with great providence.
Even consuming a whole Dao Fruit could not create a new Dao Ancestor.
However, the stats window that the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit had transformed into was undoubtedly the most suitable power for a traverser when they were young. Anyone could use it to improve rapidly as long as they were not a fool.
Even cultivating all the way to Netherheaven would not have too many bottlenecks.
However, whether or not they could successfully form a Dao Fruit depended on the potential of each individual.
“Since I was the one who found the fire seed, it means the Huaxia civilization chose me …” Fang Yuan frowned and began contemplating some ways to kill him, but finally ruled all of them out.
“Chose you? No! Artifacts are only fit to be held by the most virtuous. Many arrogant heaven’s chosens said the same thing in previous worlds, but I defeated them one by one, and their artifacts became mine.” Wang She had a very dangerous expression on his face. “The Dream Dao Fruit is indeed powerful, but how can it compare to my Taiji Two Polarity Dao Fruit!”
His thoughts moved. The chaos surrounding him roared, divided into two, and rotated diametrically with each other, containing a vast power.
A huge Taiji diagram appeared in the universe, suppressing Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
“Taiji Dao Fruit… Is this what you’re depending on?” Fang Yuan was mildly surprised.
He was too used to playing pig to eat the tiger. Without releasing the power of his two incarnations, he was not that much different from an ordinary Dao Ancestor.
However, he was still rendered speechless by how arrogant this Wang She was. “I thought I could have a collaborator, at least have a common language. Sigh… I really thought too much!”
He changed bodies at this point.
The three-headed, six-armed Great Destruction God roared as its six arms tore through the sky, breaking the Taiji diagram into pieces.
The power of five Dao Fruits was more than enough to suppress Wang She.
“What? Two Dao Ancestor clones? Power of five Dao Fruits? No! Impossible… How could you have such a deep foundation?” Wang She lost his composure, screaming and shouting. “I am the true main character of this universe. I was born with a cheat, and I comprehended the Taiji Dao Fruit. I myself am the incarnation of the Dao! Why are you stronger than me?”
“What a joke!” Fang Yuan was expressionless as the Blade of Universe Obliteration smashed down on him.
Even if they were both of Huaxia, there was no other way but to kill in the face of this fundamental conflict of interest.
Ding!
The Blade of Universe Obliteration extinguished all future possibilities, and even the Taiji diagram was nothing in front of it.
Unfortunately, when it approached Wang She, it was blocked by a magical treasure.
This magical treasure towered between heaven and earth, and it was an octagonal nine-story exquisite pagoda.
“You might be powerful, but you can’t even imagine what type of fortuitous encounters I’ve had… This is a supreme treasure of the Great Cosmological Abyss, the Exquisite Pagoda! An existence at the Dao Ancestor level since birth, and I refined it to become my Dao-protecting magical treasure!”
The power of three Dao Fruits burst out, opening cracks in the universe, and with a savage face, Wang She escaped into the Great Cosmological Abyss.
“Exquisite Pagoda? It’s indeed something that was born out of the Great Cosmological Abyss…” Fang Yuan’s pupils narrowed, but he did not hesitate to give chase.
In fact, this pagoda was too unlucky to have met Wang She just after it was born.
Otherwise, growing spiritual wisdom and becoming a Dao Ancestor was only a matter of time.
“No one can save you!” Fang Yuan split into three Dao Ancestors and smiled as he blocked Wang She in the Great Cosmological Abyss. “You will definitely be destroyed today!”
In fact, battles rarely occurred between Dao Ancestors, and even if they did, rarely did one die completely.
The worst outcome was suffering mutual injuries or sealing the other away, which was already a great victory.
However, Fang Yuan felt like Wang She was a pain in the ass.
Therefore, even if he had to pay a price, he was determined to destroy him or, at the very least, seal him.
Is this also my arrogance talking? A Heaven Rise Dao Fruit created two Dao Ancestor traversers…
Fang Yuan was secretly surprised and analyzing his own emotions while the three Dao Ancestors surrounded Wang She.
Of course, even if he knew his thoughts were a bit dark, he would not hesitate in the slightest when necessary. Otherwise, he might be the one to regret it!
Wang She was trapped in a large array by the time he could react, and Fang Yuan’s three Dao Ancestor bodies acted as the three array eyes.
“I hate!!!” Wang She was livid. “If someone so excellent was already born, why is there someone even better…”
He could not understand. They were both average traversers at the beginning, and he had had one fortuitous encounter after another. But despite everything, why could he still not compare to this foe?
“This is your fate!”
Fang Yuan’s true body was actually marveling in secret.
If he had not stayed in the Outer God Universe for a while, digested his own power completely, and improved, it would have been really difficult for him to obtain any advantage against Wang She today.
The situation might have even been reversed.
“Why… We should have been comrades. But there’s no choice! No choice!!!”
Fang Yuan sighed. With a wave of his hand, many stars seemed to fall.
The triangular array roared, in sharp contrast with the surrounding Great Cosmological Abyss, and collapsed inward.
“You… can’t kill me. Battles between Dao Ancestors are destined to be incomparably long…” Wang She snaked his way into the nine-story Exquisite Pagoda, looking calm. “I have the protection of the Exquisite Pagoda and am in an invincible position!”
“It’s just a Dao Ancestor embryo born in the Great Cosmological Abyss and refined into a pagoda by you. The name is just to invoke fear deliberately…”
Fang Yuan swung his saber indifferently.
Poof!
A sharp saber beam surged and left a deep cut on the pagoda.
“How is this possible?”
The cut might be repairing at lightning speed, but Wang She’s face turned pale, as if he had just lost his greatest support.
“You thought that the Dao Ancestor realm was the end and stagnated. However, I have been improving!”
Fang Yuan would not tell Wang She that Obscure Door and Three-Faced Key were much more powerful than his Exquisite Pagoda. But what about them? One was seriously injured, while the other fell anyway.
He even had fragments of their bodies in his hand, using them to gain enlightenment day and night.
Otherwise, even with the power of five Dao Fruits, it would have been difficult for him to damage the Exquisite Pagoda to this extent.
“Still… this pagoda’s defense is truly amazing!”
Fang Yuan looked at the fast-repairing pagoda, frowning. A large number of runes appeared in the array.
Wang She was suddenly shocked, discovering that his Exquisite Pagoda was shrinking continuously.
“You want to… seal me? No… I am a Dao Ancestor, the last hope of the Huaxia civilization. How can I be sealed?! You’re dead! You can’t seal me because we are in the Great Cosmological Abyss!”
There was no energy in the Great Cosmological Abyss, so it was not an ideal place for sealing.
The seal itself also required energy to be maintained and had the purpose of isolation. If there was no external support, it most probably could not outlive the one trapped inside, unless Fang Yuan was willing to spend eternity here.
“Sealing in the Great Cosmological Abyss, dream on!” Fang Yuan smiled. “I only need to create a cage to trap you temporarily and then banish you to another universe… The astral seal in the Outer God Universe suits you well. Enjoy it!”
