Mutated Tao

This time, Ji Zai was not fighting alone. When the other Simings saw his movements, they immediately came to help.

The umbilical cords behind him pulsed continuously, which caused Li Huowang’s body to grow larger and more deformed.

However, Li Huowang soon noticed a mirror appear out of nowhere before him. As he grew stronger, the mirror also grew stronger.

“What kind of Heavenly Dao is this?!”

As Li Huowang shouted, he saw his reflection in the mirror reach into its mouth and pull Li Sui out. Li Sui’s tentacles twisted continuously, but it was useless.

“How dare you touch my daughter!” Li Huowang squeezed with both hands and caused the opponent’s body to flicker like a faulty screen.

In the end, they still failed. The scales on Li Sui’s body shone with a golden light, and the reflection of Li Huowang in the mirror released its grip.

The opponent’s actions made Li Huowang realize their weakness. Their Heavenly Dao was ineffective against Dragon Qi!

Li Huowang charged forward without hesitation. With the Dragon Qi coursing through him, he slammed into them.

He watched the opponent’s body fall apart from the impact, and a smile appeared on Li Huowang’s face. The advantage was theirs, and they were going to win! The entanglement between different Heavenly Daos was not crucial—the key was the Dragon Qi from a mortal!

As Li Huowang thought this, the entire Baiyu Capital began to crack. Li Sui raised the eyeball high and moved it up and down to see what was outside the cracked Baiyu Capital.

Li Huowang could only see one side of it, but there was clearly more than just one side. He heard strange sounds. “Ancient moss is three feet thick, stepping on it feels like thin cotton... Stooping out from beneath it, touching the gas, mushrooms are fresh... The old sandalwood trees twist together in momentum... Ride a phoenix to pluck its flowers… your touch will turn into ancient smoke...”

Li Huowang suddenly understood what it was—a Greater Siming.

Li Huowang also finally understood that everything before was just a prelude to bring this thing into the Baiyu Capital. This thing was the key. It must not be allowed to come over!

Li Huowang rushed forward recklessly and pulled on either side with his hands, desperately trying to close the cracked Baiyu Capital.

However, no matter how hard Li Huowang tried, the crack continued to widen.

From behind, a mass of blackness rapidly approached him to try to stop him. However, some Simings on his side rushed over to block them.

Li Huowang’s body was stretched longer and longer like a rope. No matter how long he stretched, he refused to let go.

“Dragon Qi!” A familiar voice sounded in his ear. It was Shai Zi, who drifted past Li Huowang’s eyeball like a speck of dust.

The words Shai Zi was about to say appeared in Li Huowang’s mind. Use Dragon Qi to sew it up! Use your Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies along with your flesh and blood to mend the sky!

Li Huowang’s flesh rapidly stitched up the Baiyu Capital, and the crack was continuously healing. Just as it was about to fully recover, it stopped. The Dragon Qi was insufficient.

“Father, take this! It’s from my body,” A surge of Dragon Qi flowed into Li Huowang’s body and helped the cracked Baiyu Capital to recover a little.

However, Li Sui’s form began to waver as she gave away the Dragon Qi from her body. Everything about her was being torn apart by the Baiyu Capital, and she was about to die.

“Wait... wait!” Li Huowang cried out in despair. He wanted to push the Dragon Qi back, but Li Sui had already left his body.

“Father, I’m sorry. I’ve always been so useless. I could only help this little. If only I could’ve done more for you.”

“Li Sui, come back!” Li Huowang shouted in agony while Li Sui’s body gradually began to disintegrate. It finally collapsed powerlessly and fell downward.

“Ahhh!” The crack in the Baiyu Capital rapidly healed with Li Huowang’s flesh and blood and stitched it together.

However, a slight pulse from the other side caused the healed gap to start to tear open again.

Li Huowang thought of his daughter and felt as if his heart was being gouged with knives. As his body cracked, extreme pain filled his entire being. The power of Ba-Hui surged through the umbilical cords and caused his body to swell even more.

And yet, it was still not enough. Mending the Baiyu Capital would require more Dragon Qi.

At this critical moment, Li Huowang sensed a dense Dragon Qi.

He looked down and saw a six-clawed golden dragon and a group of mutated dragon people emerge from the darkness. It was Xuan Pin!

They twisted and turned amidst the chaos, as though they were searching for something.

“I’m here!” Li Huowang shouted. Xuan Pin and the others found their direction and crashed directly into Li Huowang’s body.

A massive influx of Dragon Qi poured into Li Huowang, and his Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies instantly had a medium. He quickly stitched the two sides together and pushed forcefully, which caused the cracked Baiyu Capital to instantly close up.

Once the Baiyu Capital was without cracks, Li Huowang’s body fell along with everything inside him.

He did not disappear, but he saw that his eyes and Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies were all above him. That was Ji Zai, who was still fighting afterward.

Thump! Li Huowang slammed heavily into the cold seawater from a great height.

This might have been perilous for other mortals, but not for Li Huowang.

After some time, he emerged from the water and made his way to the shore. His mouth hung open as he let out a desperate, lifeless howl. Tears and saliva mixed together, cascading down and dripping continuously to the ground.

Li Sui was dead. The evil being that had followed him for so long was gone.

He had initially kept this being by his side to avoid obstacles. Somewhere along the way, they had developed a bond akin to family ties. Yet now, it was gone.

“Are you okay? What happened?” A hand reached over to help Li Huowang up.

Li Huowang heard the voice, looked up excitedly, and saw Xuan Pin’s familiar face.

“Not bad at all, truly amazing. Because of you, we finally won this time.”

“Perhaps... maybe....” Li Huowang suddenly pounced on Xuan Pin and forcefully tore off his red Daoist robes.

A handsome young man’s face appeared before Li Huowang, one he had never seen before.

The young man looked at Li Huowang’s emotional face with a hint of bitterness.

“Actually, I didn’t want this body either. 160 years ago, when I fell from the sky, I accidentally crushed him to death.”

As Xuan Pin spoke, his face began to change. It eventually returned to the cute girl’s appearance from before, except her demeanor was now like that of a dignified lady rather than the young girl Li Sui once was.

Xuan Pin awkwardly reached out and patted Li Huowang on the shoulder, who stood there in a daze.

“It’s been so long since I called you that, I suddenly find it hard to say. Uh... Father, are you okay?

“I wanted to find you when I fell from above, but I realized there was no sun or moon in the sky. Since I fell more than a hundred years ago, I had to wait for you to return.

“I actually wanted to reunite with you sooner, but then I remembered that you lacked Dragon Qi before I came down, so I thought of a way to send—”

Before Xuan Pin could finish speaking, Li Huowang pounced forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
