#1851 - I am the way of heaven! - Death Reward Artifact! All the players in the server begged me not to die

"Bang!"

Beside the filthy giant tree, above the ruins of the Demon God Palace, Ji Dongfeng and Wu Yuntian's figures collided again and again. Lightning surged, and the aura of deficiency permeated the air. For a time, neither could overcome the other. However, both sides refrained from using overly profound power, and all confrontation remained at the most primitive level.

Every time the two collided, the surrounding space would collapse and shatter. However, under the effect of the Netherworld Hong Tree's chains, these shattered spaces would quickly heal. But this, in turn, troubled the creatures of the Third Heaven, as the unstable space of the Third Heaven left them in constant fear.

"Ji Dongfeng and Wu Yuntian's strength has already surpassed the Third Heaven. If it were normal, they could try to restrain their aura as much as possible, and it would be normal for the Third Heaven to accommodate them. But at this moment, they are fighting with bloodshot eyes, and the aura on their bodies is completely released. Yet, the Third Heaven hasn't pushed them to the Fourth Heaven," Chen Huatian said.

"Is it possible that the barriers between the Heavens are also sealed off, and the various Heavens are completely isolated at this moment?" Song Yan proposed a conjecture.

"Very likely, Sect Leader, shouldn't we go and help that kid? If we can destroy this Wu Yuntian, the Third Heaven will be completely safe," Hu Banshan said.

The long-bearded old man heard this and said in a deep voice, "This is his battle alone. We only need to watch."

"Bang!"

"Ji Dongfeng! Tell me! What exactly did you do! To be valued by the Heavenly Dao! I am much stronger than you! You can become a disciple of the Heavenly Dao! So can I!" Wu Yuntian shouted angrily, his figure flickering as he took a step back, distancing himself from Ji Dongfeng.

Ji Dongfeng sneered upon seeing this and said, "You? If the Heavenly Dao could take a liking to you, it would prove that this world is completely beyond saving. Wu Yuntian, I ask you, before, this was just your remnant thought. Your main body is still cultivating beside that old codger, the Lord of Time Law. I ask you, is the place where you cultivate the Hall of Laws?"

Wu Yuntian was stunned upon hearing this, then his expression darkened, and he said, "What are you asking this for?"

"It's nothing. I'll just be paying a visit after I destroy this remnant thought of yours," Ji Dongfeng chuckled.

"What a joke. The Hall of Laws is such a sacred existence. Even if you are a disciple of the Heavenly Dao, you will never be able to enter," Wu Yuntian said in a deep voice, a hint of killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will meet your main body very soon," Ji Dongfeng sneered. Then, with a thought, he summoned the Blood-Transforming Drum Hammer, and the Grievance Bone Spirit also appeared beside him, silent.

Wu Yuntian narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this. He slowly opened his arms, and the Deficiency Sword in his hand shattered with a bang, turning into rays of light that drilled into Wu Yuntian's body.

As these rays of light poured in, Wu Yuntian's body expanded three or four times, covered in a set of gray armor engraved with the words 'Deficiency'. What frightened the creatures of the Third Heaven even more was that a black halo appeared above Wu Yuntian's head. This halo expanded wildly, instantly turning into a black sphere, enveloping both Wu Yuntian and Ji Dongfeng!

The long-bearded old man's expression changed upon seeing this, and he quickly said, "Do not look directly at this black sphere! If you look at it for too long, your state of mind will become deficient!"

Even though the golden-light long-bearded old man warned in time, some creatures still took a few extra glances.

"Ah! My laws... the path of laws I just comprehended is no longer complete!"

"My spiritual heart has also degenerated! What exactly is going on?!"

"Steady your minds! This thing can cause deficiency in our bodies or souls!"

After a few words, the creatures of the Third Heaven turned around in unison, facing away from the black sphere. Inside the black sphere, Ji Dongfeng looked around, only feeling a strange sensation.

"What is this feeling... it's like something is trying to forcibly take away some kind of power from me," Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

"It's the ultimate power of deficiency. I'm afraid this is the most profound method that this remnant thought of Wu Yuntian can master. If another creature were here, I'm afraid all the methods on their body would become deficient in just a moment, no longer complete," Ying Long said.

"You are a disciple of the Heavenly Dao, so you will naturally be protected by the Heavenly Dao, so you are temporarily fine, but it may not be good to say after a long time."

Ji Dongfeng was about to speak when he looked up and found countless eyes floating in this dark space. These eyes all belonged to Wu Yuntian, and the word 'Deficiency' could be seen in their pupils.

"Ji Dongfeng, do you know what it feels like to be born deficient?" Wu Yuntian's voice echoed from all directions.

"From the moment I was born, I had no limbs. All the organs in my body, all my strength, were only half of those of other creatures. Five lacks and three deficiencies appeared in turn as I grew up. I know you are a Hundred-Life Clan, but for me, that time can be said to have been like living a year as a day. I also seemed to have lived countless lives, but unlike you, each of my lives was shrouded in deficiency. I have never experienced what happiness is, nor do I know what joy tastes like."

"But no matter what I experienced, I gritted my teeth and persevered. I believed in one thing, and that was that I was born extraordinary. All the hardships I am experiencing at this moment are just a kind of training. I believe that there must be a god watching me, and he will appear at some point and bestow upon me power far beyond that of ordinary creatures."

"Finally, on a rainy night, a seed fell on me, allowing me to instantly possess a complete body, allowing me to instantly comprehend several laws. That was the first time I felt what power was."

Ji Dongfeng frowned upon hearing this and said, "Seed? What seed?"

"That was a great opportunity bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. That's why I believe that I am more qualified to become a disciple of the Heavenly Dao than you. Before you, the Heavenly Dao favored me first! Me!" Wu Yuntian shouted angrily.

"Then, the Lord of Time Law descended. He took me as a follower, allowing me to be qualified to cultivate in the Hall of Laws. He even used the power of the River of Time to return me to my youth, giving me endless lifespan. At that time, I believed that I would definitely be able to stand at the highest point of this world, surpassing Hongzhu and even Wuzhu! Becoming the strongest under the Heavenly Dao!"

"But! Since you appeared, it seems that everything has changed! Even the Lord of Time Law's attitude towards me has changed somewhat... Ji Dongfeng, all the honors you possess should be mine! Since the Heavenly Dao values you, then I will turn everything you have into deficiency! Let you completely become a deficient person!"

As soon as the words fell, the countless eyes in the dark space flickered with gray light, and the power of deficiency in the space instantly became extremely dense!

Ji Dongfeng sneered upon seeing this and said, "Do you know why you are not as good as me? Under the Heavenly Dao, how can one be considered the strongest? You only want to surpass Hongzhu and Wuzhu, but for me, if the Heavenly Dao doesn't do its job properly, then I dare to say, I am the Heavenly Dao!"
