Chapter 514: The Sky Collapses, Fighting the Gods
The rain was pouring down, pressing down everything, and the birds hid under the branches and cried. Under the tree, the two of them had already become drowned rats, and the ground was bumpy and full of drops of rain.
As time goes by, the meaning of this rain seems to have changed. Farmers in the rice fields in the distance are anxious, and the green seedlings sticking out are being destroyed. The rain hits the tiles and water leaks under the eaves. The sounds are dense and rapid. I thought it was just an ordinary heavy rain, but I felt inexplicably panicked.
It was a summer drought, and with this rain, the world should have been revitalized, with a prosperous and vibrant scene. When the rain just started, you could still hear children playing, chasing dragonflies, and women scolding, which brought some fun to the fields.
But it was only a quarter of an hour. The whole world was filled with the sound of rain, monotonous and boring, as if covering everything, making people feel inexplicably upset. The woman held the child, listening to the rain and thunder, full of worry.
Because the rain was so heavy, water splashed into the eaves and soaked the ground. The only two pieces of clothing the poorer people had were soaked.
The stools, tables, and wardrobes were all swept away by the wind and rain, leaving nowhere to shelter from the rain. They hugged each other pitifully. They had never seen such heavy rain in the past ten years.
"The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
There was an old man leaning on a walking stick, his eyes were already wet, his tears mixed with the rain, and his voice was also covered by the sound of the rain.
Ants were running around on the ground, drowning in small puddles. It was raining heavily that day. Under a tree, Wang Ruyi finished her roast chicken. Her long hair was already soaked by the rain and hung down on her forehead. She swept her wet hair back, revealing her smooth forehead.
The mist scattered around, making her look even more dewy. There is a difference between a drowned chicken and a drowned phoenix after all. Just when she was feeling proud of her good looks and that she did not look disheveled but rather looked more beautiful even though she was soaked all over, she discovered that the white clothes made her look even more elegant.
The amount of rain that fell on him was clearly no less than on me, but he seemed to be fine, his white clothes fluttering in the rain, his long hair moving without wind.
Li Changxiao looked around, then took a step forward. Wang Ruyi followed closely behind him, saying nothing but knowing what was going on. Perhaps the fight had already begun.
She didn't know whether she would win or lose, she just kept walking forward. The sudden rain hit her, causing her pain and a hint of chill. It was a hot summer day, but she was shivering with cold. Fortunately, Li Changxiao noticed it and handed her a sip of wine. After she drank it, her chest and abdomen felt warm, and the aroma of the wine evaporated little by little, forcing out the water vapor that had invaded her body.
"Has it started?" Wang Ruyi asked.
"It has already started." Li Changxiao replied calmly. He raised his eyes to look at the sky and earth, stretched his body, and stretched his muscles. After sleeping for too long, his bones were inevitably stiff.
There was a crackling sound during the stretching movement. He rubbed his wrists as if preparing for a big fight. Wang Ruyi was both expectant and worried. She really liked watching Li Changxiao show off his power, but she also knew that this was not a good thing. As she had a deep connection with Tianji Dao, she naturally had some idea of the situation of the immortals on the mountain. Before she met Li Changxiao, she was gloating. Everyone in the world was pursuing longevity, but she felt that a hundred years was enough in this world.
After meeting Li Changxiao, she wanted to exclude him, hoping that he would be fine. She was a little selfish, but people always have similar intentions. Even though she was a mortal, she couldn't understand the methods of immortals, and she couldn't see whether the previous things had consumed Li Changxiao. She couldn't even tell whether he had used his spiritual energy, but she inexplicably had confidence in him.
There was a sudden thunderclap, and a flash of lightning struck a large tree. Wang Ruyi was startled, and felt the fierce malice hidden between heaven and earth.
"Where are they hiding?" Wang Ruyi asked. She had to use all her strength to shout so that her voice could be squeezed out from the heavy rain.
Even if the two were five steps apart, or even four steps apart, they couldn't hear what the other was saying. Li Changxiao replied, "In the mountains and waters."
Fighting the law...
But it is not just about fighting. Sitting and discussing, guessing each other's moves, and deploying strategies are all forms of fighting. It's just that most cultivators are used to simple and rough battles, which are not only about who is better, but also about life and death.
However, this battle is obviously very different from previous ones.
This is a battle of wits.
Li Changxiao, a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and Wang Ruyi, a mortal emperor beside him, challenged Dayu from top to bottom, from east to west, from south to north, including Elong, Tianjian,... the twelve mountain gods, and countless lesser gods who were conferred titles below.
In other words, this battle was fought over this whole world. The heavy rain lasted only three or four quarters of an hour, and in the distance there were landslides, boulders rolling down, and mud and rocks forming streams.
Recently, the river water has been boiling and rolling back against the shore. Natural disasters are happening everywhere. It has no impact on Li Changxiao, but it has brought suffering to the people of the world. The battle has begun, and this move... is a test of the bottom line.
The world and mountains and rivers regard the people as bargaining chips. The frequent natural disasters caused by heavy rains depend on how Li Changxiao will deal with them. If he saves them, he will consume their spiritual energy. If he does not save them, how will Wang Ruyi view it? What will happen to her imperial heart?
This long-planned killing game slowly unfolds a small corner.
The heavy rain seemed to be mixed with the sarcasm and ridicule of the gods of the mountains and rivers. The rows of trees bent down like old men laughing. Wang Ruyi cursed, but she was also worried. She thought that the battle was just a matter of life and death, but now it seems that she was naive.
She clenched her fists, her sweat mixing with the rain, and was mocked by the heaven and earth, mixed with the wind and rain, which made her upset and restless. She had never felt the sound of rain was so noisy, it was a million times noisier than that of the cicadas.
But the next moment, he felt quiet. The faint laughter stopped abruptly at this moment. Li Changxiao flicked his fingers lightly, and an invisible thread trembled.
The river level subsided, boulders fell into huge pits, mud and rocks filled the gullies, and the massive natural disasters were strangled in the cradle before they could fully take shape.
Since it was a battle of magic, how could Li Changxiao not be prepared? He condensed his dream silk and hid it in various places, waiting for the mountains and rivers to find it and counter it. He had already hidden his tricks in his dreams and had already sensed that the water vapor was gathering and there would be a fierce rain.
So he used his spiritual consciousness to scan the mountain, predict in advance where various natural disasters might occur, and make countermeasures.
The laughter stopped abruptly, but only a moment later, it became more intense and the mocking sound became even louder.
He took action...
He took action...
Since he has taken action, it means that this person is easy to deal with, has a kind heart, cares about the lives of the ignorant people, and can use the people as bargaining chips.
Such people are much easier to deal with than those who are cold, selfish, and purposeful.
Therefore, the fundamental purpose of this test is to see whether Li Changxiao will take action.
