In the world within the diagram, He Chong took in a deep breath after hearing Tang Jie’s plan.

He wanted to refuse, but he knew that he didn’t have the right.

While inside the diagram, he couldn’t know what was going on outside, so he didn’t even know that Tang Jie was throwing the world into disarray with his battle and on the verge of death. But he knew that Tang Jie controlled this world, and he didn’t even have the ability to fight back against Tang Jie while in the diagram.

He could only obey!

Rolling up his sleeves, he summoned a mighty wind that swept up the innumerable art relics—before this, He Chong had never imagined that he would use “innumerable” to describe art relics—and sent them to the distant world furnace.

Ever since Tang Jie had left Nadir Hill, the volcano-like world furnace had not experienced a high-level smelting and refinement in a long time. Although it had been receiving precious ores and resources through the teleportation formation in the Blood River Domain, its limited transportation ability and sparse resources were far from enough to satisfy the world furnace’s gluttonous appetite.

…Until today, when it was finally able to enjoy another feast.

The vast sea of treasures falling from the sky rained into the world furnace like plates of delicacies being dumped into the bottomless stomach of a glutton, disappearing without even the slightest splash, like they had been tossed into a black hole.

Flames spewed out of the furnace, carrying with them tons of dust, oceans of spiritual energy, and various rare materials that a world needed.

In their most primal forms, they floated in the air, and then settled down, burying themselves and transforming into the deeper layer of power for this world, creating its foundation.

He Chong didn’t understand these changes. He simply mechanically and numbly sent the treasures into the furnace.

His heart was bleeding!

But outside of the diagram, Tang Jie could clearly sense how the Mountain River State Diagram was changing.

It wasn’t just getting larger, it was becoming more filled-in, becoming richer!

Richness was the foundation of a world. A single element could also create a world, but there was no meaning to it.

After receiving all the plunder and loot, all the stolen soil and resources, the world of the Mountain River State Diagram finally had the nascent form of a rich and varied world, a foundation for the creation of all things.

When physical matter reached a certain level of richness, matter ceased to be a problem. All that mattered was time.

Of course, the diagram had yet to reach this point, but with each addition, it drew closer to the goal.

As numerous treasures were melted down, the Mountain River State Diagram became richer and richer in terms of elements. Treasures were still raining from the sky, but the flow was already beginning to dwindle.

If one looked at Divine Genesis now, one would find that it was much dimmer.

Even Divine Genesis had a limit.

After this frenzy, Divine Genesis was finally showing signs of energy shortage, but its instinct to escape danger made it persist in resisting this foreign invasion in its own way.

It released light and heat, acting like a stubborn child.

Even when its light dimmed and its energy retreated, it acted without regret or remorse.

At the same time, Tang Jie’s resistance against the Blood River Behemoth was also reaching its end.

Knocked away again and again, heavily injured again and again, recovering again and again—by the end of this battle, Tang Jie was already using his life force to fight back.

He was still waiting, waiting for more treasures to be smelted, waiting for the diagram to devour more. Every extra minute he delayed was extremely important for the future of the diagram.

He looked up at the sky.

Divine Genesis was like a shriveled-up sun.

He smiled.

He then said, “Since you’ve sworn to live and die with this world, then go and die!”

He leapt into the air, casting aside the Blood River Behemoth and charging at the sun.

The Blood River Lord was momentarily stunned. He didn’t know what Tang Jie was trying to do, but anything Tang Jie did gave him an instinctive bad feeling.

With a roar, he jumped into the air and unleashed his strongest punch at Tang Jie’s back.

The Blood River Roaring Punch!

Frenzied physical strength melded with mighty law power, evolving into an awesome power. Tang Jie swung his hand, and the Five Sacred Mountains Sword sent five mountains down. This was not to suppress the Blood River Lord, only to delay him a little.

The fist blasted through the five mountains like a comet, and Tang Jie threw out three of the Treasure Paradise’s mountains as well, but they were like tofu in front of that fist. Even a mountain that had been turned into a treasure was pulverized into powder.

The roaring fist finally crashed into Tang Jie’s back, upon which Tang Jie froze and then exploded.

Starting from the spine, Tang Jie began to come apart, turning into a sea of blood.

From down below, it appeared like a giant was disappearing backward into a roaring river of blood.

Even though Tang Jie had activated the Flesh Millstone, he couldn’t stop the Blood River from devouring him, and as his flesh and blood were devoured, the Blood River Lord grew stronger.

Even then, Tang Jie didn’t stop flying upward.

As he flew up to Divine Genesis, he punched out: “Devil Crushing Fist!”

This strike that combined the strength of two people was unimaginably strong, and even the Blood River Lord wouldn’t have dared to take it directly. But Tang Jie aimed at Divine Genesis.

Even for the Devil Crushing Fist’s domineering power, destroying Divine Genesis was still impossible.

However, Tang Jie’s goal with this punch wasn’t to destroy it. Rather, through the power of this fist, Tang Jie mustered up all his law power and sent an illusion into Divine Genesis.

This illusion was a culmination of all his understanding of the Dao of Illusion. Combined with the intimidating power of the Devil Crushing Fist, he sought to plant an idea: Divine Genesis was about to be destroyed!

Tang Jie grabbed a recovery formation diagram with his left hand and used it up while he reached into Divine Genesis with his right hand, roaring, “Get out here!”

Tang Jie then pulled something out of Divine Genesis that wriggled like a worm and radiated light like the sun. It appeared extremely similar to the Fate Dao Standard Tang Jie had obtained, but much brighter.

“The Creation Dao Standard!” the Blood River Lord cried out in shock.

He finally understood what Tang Jie wanted to do.

There was no way Tang Jie would be strong enough to subdue a natural Dao armament like Divine Genesis.

Since he couldn’t take the Dao armament, he would take the Dao Standard.

Divine Genesis’s treasure creation frenzy had left it weak, so Tang Jie had used this chance to take the Dao Standard. Once the Dao Standard was lost, Divine Genesis would plunge in power, falling from Dao armament to divine treasure, or perhaps even lower.

But the Creation Dao Standard was incredibly strong, not something that someone who hadn’t even reached Violet Palace could casually take. Even if Divine Genesis was incredibly weak, it was still thousands of times stronger than Tang Jie. This was why Tang Jie had done all this to create the illusion that Divine Genesis was about to be destroyed, and then he used the Fate Dao Standard within his body. As Creation was under Fate, he was able to pull out the Creation Dao Standard from Divine Genesis.

Thus, rather than saying that he had pulled out the Dao Standard, it was more like he had fooled it out.

Even so, making the Dao Standard give up on Divine Genesis was extremely difficult. The Dao Standard had been born within it, so asking it to abandon Divine Genesis was like asking a person to abandon their home.

The Fate Dao Standard had been captured without resistance because the simulation formation was on the verge of destruction. If one’s home was about to be destroyed, then one no longer had a choice. But Divine Genesis was just tired out and was far from destruction, so the Dao Standard wasn’t giving up on it just yet.

Thus, even though it was now separated from Divine Genesis, there was still a connection to it. Tang Jie could even sense that the Dao Standard in his hand was being called back by Divine Genesis.

If this continued, the Dao Standard would probably return to Divine Genesis, and there was no way Tang Jie was strong enough to stop this.

At this moment, the Mountain River State Diagram suddenly let out a beam of light that fell upon the Dao Standard.

This beam of light caused the Creation Dao Standard’s resistance to fall.

The resistance that the Blood River Lord anticipated did not happen. Instead, he saw Tang Jie toss the Creation Dao Standard at the Mountain River State Diagram.

This sight gave him a rather bad shock, and he struggled to understand why this was happening.

What he didn’t know was that this beam of light came from the genesis stone slab within the diagram.

The genesis stone slab was related to Divine Genesis as son was to father. Tang Jie couldn’t forcefully make the Creation Dao Standard submit, but drawing it into the genesis stone slab was much easier. The familiar aura and the illusion that Divine Genesis was about to be destroyed caused the Dao Standard to fly toward the diagram.

He Chong’s trio saw a rainbow light appear in the sky, falling upon that stone slab that had been placed in here some time ago. The stone slab immediately began to shine with a breathtaking light.

At that moment, the stone slab rose from divine treasure all the way to Dao armament.

But as an artificial Dao armament, its power was a little lacking compared to Divine Genesis.

Even so, with this item, the world within the Mountain River State Diagram rose to a new level.

But the diagram world didn’t have only one Dao armament.

Tang Jie threw out another object.

The Myriad Immortals Cauldron!

This was the first Dao armament Tang Jie had obtained, but he had never been able to use it because of his lack of cultivation.

But the boost of strength from his merged bodies and having entered the Dao of Yin Yang allowed him to use it to a limited extent. It wasn’t enough to use it against enemies, but it was good enough for managing a world.

As the cauldron appeared, it resonated with the genesis stone slab, and the two treasures both exuded supreme Dao Wills.

Tang Jie then took out the Sovereign Blade.

The Sovereign Blade was no Dao armament, but it was a powerful weapon that transcended the Great Daos. It had its own mighty powers that Tang Jie hadn’t been able to fully utilize. Even so, the Sovereign Blade could be considered a peerless treasure, and besides that, it also contained the sword spirit of a Dao armament, so, all things considered, it did not lose out to any Dao armament.

Once all three objects appeared, the Mountain River State Diagram world began to resound with sacred and solemn sounds.

He Chong’s group saw Great Dao Runes begin to inscribe themselves into the heavens.

They didn’t know what was going on, but Tang Jie raised his head and looked around. “Alas, in the end, I was only able to take half of the land of the Treasure Paradise. But regardless, I have to thank you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have obtained so much. If not for you, I wouldn’t have understood the importance of an independent world, only thinking that I could only borrow strength from it. The ancients didn’t lie when they said that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Even so, I must still rely on my most shallow understanding and my most basic methods to defeat you, to kill you. Perhaps, one day, I will use a more profound method… to kill your original body.

“Today, though, I invite you to experience all the power of this independent world I went through so much effort to create.” Tang Jie raised a hand.

The Mountain River State Diagram stopped its devouring. But the moment that terrifying suction disappeared, a monstrous storm surged out of the diagram.

The moment this storm appeared, it filled up the world, shaking time and space, causing the Blood River Lord to grimace.

“World… the power of a world…” he cried out.

Calling upon the power of a world was what separated Violet Palace cultivators from other cultivators.

But Tang Jie was doing it.

Of course, he wasn’t at Violet Palace. But while he couldn’t call upon the power of the world he was in, he could call upon the power of a world that he controlled!

The power of the Mountain River State Diagram.

This was also why Tang Jie had wanted to trick He Chong into the diagram to help him develop his world.

To have a world had no meaning on its own.

It only had meaning when it became a power one could use!

Calling upon the power of the Mountain River State Diagram was the most basic method of using a world, and it pushed Tang Jie’s power all the way to that of a Violet Palace cultivator. While his soul still wasn’t as strong as a Divine Soul, he was just as good as them when it came to calling upon the power of a world. And because his small world was very rich and was being anchored by Dao armaments, he could even call upon more world power than the average Violet Palace cultivator! When coupled with the power of Tang Jie’s original body, it made for a ferocious force.

This was Tang Jie’s final move. At this moment, Tang Jie was pulling energy out of the Mountain River State Diagram, turning that entire world into an immense pressure.

The Blood River Lord knew that Tang Jie had his own small world.

But he hadn’t expected this small world’s power to have reached such a terrifying level!

At that moment, Tang Jie appeared like a lofty mountain, towering high up in the heavens as he looked down at the Blood River Lord, his voice rumbling across the firmament. “Seal!”

A hand descended from the heavens.
