Chapter 166.1: With My Words, I Forge the Laws of Heaven and Earth

Only a few moments had passed, yet it felt like an entire day. The crowd stared at the six fallen Yin Spirits before them, as though trapped in a dream. All six had been killed without the slightest resistance. The pressure was so overwhelming, even Yin Spirits were powerless to fight back.

To the woman in white, there was only one possible explanation: a Great Venerable was behind this! Still, when did the Blood-Clothed Sword God become one? Her thoughts were in utter turmoil. Meanwhile, Lord Great Wisdom wore a contemplative expression.

Xu Tongchen seemed entirely unfazed.

What is so surprising about this?

Compared to the time he'd seen the sun fall from the heavens, this barely registered.

Qi Jianjun clenched her tiny pink fists, beaming with pride. "Daddy's amazing!"

She completely didn't have the aloofness and pride a Yin Spirit supposedly had. Behind her, the members of the suona band stared with fervent, almost fanatical eyes.

Qi Yuan raised a hand. Seven or eight storage bags flew into his palm. His spiritual sense swept through them, and a smile curved his lips. "Confiscated contraband items!"

Now this

is what true white moonlight felt like.

Inside those pouches were six Heaven-tier cultivation manuals. More importantly, two were mid-grade Heaven tier. One such technique was worth more than ten lower-grade ones combined.

Then, he looked at the Yin Spirit corpses. Under his gaze, the bodies dissolved and transformed into something like fertilizer that sunk into dust and soil.

"Since you were so cooperative, I'll grant you special permission to settle here and become part of the Moonwatch Continent," Qi Yuan said calmly. He couldn’t help but recite a verse, "Yin Spirits are not heartless things; turned to spring mud, they nourish flowers still

.

"

They were truly good people. The Moonwatch Continent had long been damaged, it didn't even have a single Violet Palace cultivator aside from Qi Jianjun. Now, with this influx of "nutrients," the world itself would benefit.

The woman in white watched in silence, speechless for a long time.

At that moment, Qi Yuan closed his eyes. Everyone stared at him but no one dared to speak.

After another breath, he opened them again. "There are still thirteen million Moluo soldiers left."

The woman in white hurriedly said, "I'll personally lead forces to deal with the remaining Moluo Army!"

The Moonwatch Continent alone couldn't withstand them. Only by having a Yin Spirit slaughtering the masses could such numbers be wiped out.

"Why make it so complicated?" Qi Yuan chuckled softly. "Since they dared enter my home, they can all stay behind as fertilizer."

She frowned, confused. Eliminating the Moluo Army without harming the continent itself would be extremely difficult, unless he planned to crush them with brute force.

Qi Yuan rose into the air once more, his blood-red robes snapping in the wind. The light of the sun and moon froze, then seemed to converge entirely upon him.

He decreed, his vast, boundless voice traveling all across the world, "The earth's beings, all living things are under my control."

The Ancient Qichun Tree trembled and snowflakes whirled violently. Rivers reversed their flow while deserts surged like oceans. Across the Moonwatch Continent, every living being turned instinctively toward Qi Yuan's direction. Their eyes burned with fervor and their faces filled with awe. Even the Moluo Army looked up at the sky, utterly bewildered.

***

At the Canglan World outpost, Gu Xiaoyao lifted his head in confusion. "What is happening?"

The Nascent Soul cultivators beside him were just as lost.

A prodigy trembled, muttering through clenched teeth, "That voice... It's the Blood-Clothed Sword God!"

They didn't know what was coming, but they knew it would be terrifying.

***

The woman in white stared at Qi Yuan, eyes wide with disbelief. She could clearly feel the world's origin trembling, surging, and boiling.

How can the Blood-Clothed Sword God use the world's origin? Even Great Venerables should not be able to do this!

Qi Yuan’s intense voice rang out again. "With my words, I forge the laws of Heaven and Earth! Thunder Lords and Lightning Matrons, Five Sacred Mountains and Rivers! All creation under heaven, heed my command! Exterminate the Moluo!"

In an instant, the Moonwatch Continent became a divine prison. The sun and moon vanished, plunging the sky into bottomless darkness. Stars were swallowed by black clouds, in which thunder roared like colossal beasts howling and ancient gods screaming. High above, two primordial immortals manifested, born of the Heavenly Dao's will.

"Thunder Lord receives the command!"

"Lightning Matron receives the command!"

The Five Sacred Mountains rumbled like awakening gods.

"All Five Peaks receive the command!"

All things under heaven stirred as though awakening from a long slumber, responding to the Heavenly Dao's decree.

"The Wei River receives the command!"

"The Xuanyuan Forbidden Zone receives the command!"

"Heaven's End receives the command!"

All forms of creation seemed to have gained a spirit, arising from their slumber and responding to the Heavenly Dao.

At last, Qi Yuan’s voice boomed again. "Play the music."

Lord Great Wisdom's eyes flashed as the desolate, joyous, and heroic cry of suonas erupted. The woman in white snapped out of her daze and joined in.

Across the continent, terrifying figures emerged like primordial immortals rising from ancient sleep.

"By Heaven's command, slay the Moluo!"

Lightning tore through the darkness. The world finally saw light again. Countless bolts of lightning ripped through space, crashing down upon the Moluo armies.

The spectacle was tens of thousands of times more overwhelming than any planetary war.

Across the world, millions of Moluo soldiers were obliterated before they could even understand what was happening. Some were struck by lightning, while others were crushed by mountains. They could not resist, and any attempt to flee was futile. How were they supposed to win against the god?

"Thunder!"

"Heaven is enraged!"

"So many gods!"

"This is heaven's will itself!"

"The heavens are blind!"

"It's over, it's all over! The Heavenly Dao of this world has been devoured by a monster!"

"How can we oppose the might of heaven and earth?"

In just three breaths, the Moluo Army that was spread across the entire world was wiped out completely. The world still trembled. Its origin rejoiced, as if celebrating its supreme master.

Qi Yuan’s voice echoed to the ends of heaven and earth. "Those who trespass upon the Moonwatch Continent will be killed without mercy!"

***

At the Canglan World outpost.

The prodigies who had witnessed the awakening gods and the great catastrophe went deathly pale.

"Run!"

"The Blood-Clothed Sword God isn't human!"

They no longer cared about the impending Great Calamity or the territory they sought. Turning on their heels, they fled to the Canglan World without hesitation. What they'd seen was beyond comprehension, but they knew one thing for certain: it was absolute terror.

***

Back in the valley, Qi Yuan turned to those behind him. "Everyone's dead. Time to head back."

Qi Jianjun's eyes curved into crescent moons as she giggled. "

Heehee

, so I really am Daddy's biological daughter."

Jiang Ya stood silent. What she had witnessed existed only in fragments of ancient texts. There was only one possible explanation: this could only have been the work of the Heavenly Dao. Could that Blood-Clothed Sword God have devoured the Heavenly Dao of Moonwatch Continent?

The woman in white trembled. Now she finally understood why he had asked those questions by the lake long ago. The Blood-Clothed Sword God was not human. He was a ruthless god who dared devour Heavenly Dao itself! If he hid within the Moonwatch Continent, the Canglan World’s Great Calamity would never dare spill into this world.
