Multiverse Skill System

Tu Ba's mech suddenly appeared in front of Yi Shuihan, taking the hit from Murphy for her.

"What are you trying to do? Slaughter the tyrant!"

Murphy found Butcher's behavior completely incomprehensible.

"This gentleman is the owner of the system's sales shop. We must not be rude to him. Since he's here, let's give him face and not participate in the battle."

It's as if it's just because Yi Shuihan is the shop owner, but the real reason is that Tu Ba is afraid that Murphy will anger Yi Shuihan and then get him involved as well.

Chapter 1208, Power Beyond that of Ordinary Saints

Behind Tu Ba, Yi Shuihan had a strange expression. He hadn't expected Tu Ba to do this. When he first met Tu Ba, Tu Ba was such an arrogant person. The change was too great.

"So what if he's the shopkeeper? Since he's involved, we should treat him the same as everyone else. At worst, we'll just defeat him without killing him. Are you going to just watch him get in our way and let those two bastards kill my Empire's warriors?"

The "sluts" Murphy was referring to were naturally Nuwa and Houtu. In just a short while, more than a dozen of the Universe Emperors she brought had fallen, and hundreds of World King-level mecha pilots had died at the hands of Nuwa and Houtu.

Many of the dead mech pilots, whom Murphy brought here, were her trusted men. Now that they were slaughtered so easily, she was already burning with rage.

"Step aside!"

Tu Ba wanted to continue persuading, but Yi Shuihan's voice rang out. Before Tu Ba could turn around, he saw Yi Shuihan step out from the void in front of him, her face cold.

Startled that he hadn't noticed Yi Shuihan's movements at all, Tu Ba was momentarily speechless. He didn't know how Murphy had offended this man, but he sensed that things were about to get very bad.

"Even if you are the shop owner, you shouldn't be so arrogant in front of a much stronger person. Let me show you what respect and hierarchy really mean."

Because she was too preoccupied with the massacre of her subordinates, Murphy completely failed to notice Yi Shuihan's unusual behavior and naively believed that she could easily defeat Yi Shuihan if she wanted to.

Without Tu Ba blocking his way, Murphy finally made his move. The mecha's arm reached out to grab Yi Shuihan. Tu Ba's words also had some effect, causing Murphy to subconsciously refrain from using a high-damage attack.

The mecha of the Emperor of the Universe is actually much smaller than that of the Emperor of the Universe. Murphy's mecha is only about 5 meters tall, looking like a small giant, but in fact, it is just a small figure compared to the demon race and the witch race below.

The mecha's hand was much larger than Yi Shuihan's head; if it gripped firmly, it could grab most of Yi Shuihan's divine power.

Having learned from his previous experience, Yi Shuihan did not fully integrate the power of his personal world, but only one-tenth of it. According to his calculations, one-tenth was enough to easily defeat Emperor Yu.

With a single punch, ripples appeared in the air, spreading to Murphy's mech, sending Murphy flying backward as if blown by a storm.

"How can it be?"

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Murphy realized that the mecha had stopped, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. Yi Shuihan had appeared behind her at some point and supported her with one hand.

Immediately afterward, Murphy felt the scene before her change rapidly. She tried her best to stop the mecha or break free from Yi Shuihan's control, but to no avail.

"Goodness, thank goodness I didn't provoke him, otherwise I would be the one there today."

Tu Ba watched from a distance as Murphy was repeatedly struck by Yi Shuihan, falling from the sky to the ground and back again, in an endless barrage of attacks, utterly powerless to resist. He secretly rejoiced.

There is a kind of pain that hurts just to look at, and a kind of pleasure that feels good just to look at. The former is naturally the tyrant, while the latter is the anti-invasion alliance.

"Councilor Taiyi is too strong. He actually defeated one of the opponent's Yu Emperors without being able to fight back. His combat power has surpassed that of an ordinary Saint."

"He is indeed powerful. I had only heard that Councilor Taiyi was very powerful before, but I didn't really believe it. Now I do. I guess only Master Hongjun in the prehistoric world can suppress Taiyi now!"

“Well done. Although Councilor Taiyi is not from our Primordial World, what he did was completely on our side. He deserves to be called a councilor.”

Yi Shuihan's display of overwhelming combat power boosted the morale of the anti-invasion alliance forces once again, while the mech units became fearful, their combat strength declined further, and they lost the will to fight. As a result, the mech units quickly began to collapse, and the rate of casualties increased rapidly.

Houtu and Nuwa stopped their attack upon seeing this. They had only intervened earlier out of fear of heavy casualties among the anti-invasion alliance, but now the outcome would be the same even if they didn't intervene. So they naturally stopped. As saints, they also had the dignity of saints.

Of course, Houtu and Nuwa weren't just standing by and watching. They locked their auras onto Tu Ba, and if Tu Ba made a move, they would stop him. However, they didn't know just how afraid Tu Ba was of Yi Shuihan, otherwise they wouldn't have been paying attention to Tu Ba.

Inside the mecha, Murphy didn't suffer any real damage, only feeling dizzy and nauseous. She had resigned herself to her fate. She had tried countless times to get out of this situation, but each time she failed. All she could do now was wait for Yi Shuihan to have his fill of fun.

Even Murphy herself knew that Yi Shuihan was just playing around, because no matter how she changed her power, Yi Shuihan always returned it with a force that was just slightly stronger than hers. With such strength, it would be easy to hurt her. The fact that she didn't have any actual injuries was because Yi Shuihan was just playing around.

"That's enough. Continuing to perform will have the opposite effect."

Yi Shuihan possessed the strength to kill Murphy with a single blow, yet he displayed it in such an exaggerated manner. Of course, this wasn't just for fun; he did it on purpose. He wanted the anti-invasion alliance to witness his power. Rather than resolving everything with a single strike, such a humiliating defeat would leave a more lasting impression, and thus garner more support for Yi Shuihan in the future.

After knocking Murphy to the ground once again, Yi Shuihan stopped attacking.

Without Yi Shuihan's attack, the wounds on the mecha's surface healed at a visible speed, and in an instant, there was no trace of damage on its surface, not even a speck of dust. The dust on the ground was burned up by an unknown force when it was still some distance away from the mecha.

The burning dust surrounding the mecha resembled twinkling stars, possessing an unusual beauty.

The scene fell into complete silence, everyone staring at Yi Shuihan. At this moment, Yi Shuihan was undoubtedly the focus of the battlefield, Kunlun, and even the entire prehistoric world.

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the steel fortress not far away, and said softly, "Erase all things that are not of this world."

"Oh!"

The earth-shaking response resounded throughout the land, and the anti-invasion alliance immediately charged madly toward the steel fortress.

Chapter 1209, Successful Recapture of Kunlun

No matter how sturdy the steel fortress is, it's useless against a group of Taoist practitioners who don't follow any scientific principles. The Wu tribe is far more capable than demolition workers; demolishing a house by hand is incredibly easy for them.

The massive demolition army entered the fortress, which was even more terrifying than the Japanese invading a village, destroying everything in sight.

The remaining technological army watched from afar, and no one dared to stop them.

"We've lost, we've lost completely."

Watching the fortress he had built being demolished in silence, Tu Ba didn't know what to feel. Although the fortress hadn't taken him long to build, he had personally witnessed its creation and had some emotional attachment to it.

It's not fair to say that the anti-invasion alliance is particularly culpable. Even Tu Ba himself understands that others have the right to do so, since Kunlun originally belonged to the primordial world.

"I will report what you have done today to the Empire, and I hope you will be prepared for what will happen next."

Once the fortress was completely destroyed, Butcher walked over and said, with Murphy still beside him, but Murphy seemed unusually silent at this moment.

Nearly half of Murphy's men were killed, and many of Butcher's own men in the fortress also died, leaving them as complete wreckage.

At this point, although the anti-invasion alliance wished they could annihilate Tu Ba and his group, they knew they couldn't continue. There was no reason for this to happen. They had essentially driven Tu Ba out of Kunlun. If they continued to kill them all, the technological world would inevitably launch a large-scale invasion. There would be no buffer period, and they would truly be left with no choice but to fight to the death.

Having a legitimate reason for a military action is important at times, especially when neither side has an absolute advantage.

"We, the Primordial World, are not to be trifled with. If you want war, then let's fight."

Hongyun coldly said to Tu Ba, but in reality, he said this on the premise that everyone knew that a full-scale war was not possible for the time being, but on the surface, he had to maintain a high profile.

Despite the large number of mech units lost today, which would have been a devastating blow to the Primordial Empire, the losses are not significant for the Qian Yuan Empire. After all, the Qian Yuan Empire's overall strength is far superior to that of the Primordial Empire. The Primordial Empire's confidence in fighting stems entirely from the support of the Heavenly Dao. The Primordial Empire is incapable of attacking the Qian Yuan Empire's world, and even if both sides were to fight outside their own worlds, they would not dare to do so.

"You are not welcome here, please leave!"

Kunlun was reclaimed, and Yuanshi raised his head, daring to be arrogant in front of Tu Ba.

However, Tu Ba completely ignored Yuan Shi and instead looked at Yi Shui Han. He didn't care much about anyone present, including the two female saints. If Yi Shui Han hadn't been there, the victorious side wouldn't have been the Primordial World.

Yuanshi was quite embarrassed by Tu Ba's dismissive attitude. If it were anyone else, he would have already taken out the Pangu Banner and confronted him. But who could he do against someone who had once even the Three Pure Ones had been unable to defeat? If he forced his way in, he would only embarrass himself in the end. So Yuanshi could only glare at Tu Ba with resentment and engage in verbal sparring.

"Some people just can't hear properly. Even after they've been told to leave, they stubbornly stay here."

The tone and the words—it's hard to believe that Yuanshi, one of the Three Pure Ones, spoke like that; it sounds like a commoner's nickname.

"Although I am a member of the anti-intrusion alliance, I am also a businessman. I will not refuse business, but there will definitely be a price difference."

Yi Shuihan spoke calmly, making his stance clear to everyone. Yuan Shi frowned, but he didn't say anything, as Yi Shuihan's actions today left no room for doubt.

"That's good."

Tu Ba nodded to Yi Shuihan, then turned and left, with Murphy and the others following behind. In an instant, they disappeared from the Kunlun region without a trace.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, are you going to sell them the system?"

After Tu Ba left, Di Jun suddenly spoke up, seemingly as a casual question, but he certainly had his own thoughts on the matter.

The people of the Primordial World do not want Yi Shuihan to sell the system to outsiders, because if they do, the outsiders will become stronger, which will be detrimental to their Primordial World, as they will face more powerful enemies.

Di Jun's words resonated with many people. Even if they couldn't shake Yi Shuihan for the time being, once Yi Shuihan actually sold the system to the people of the technological world, and the technological world used the system to defeat the prehistoric world, even if the powerful beings of the prehistoric world still recognized Yi Shuihan now, they would definitely turn against him.

This is a very clever plan. Either Yi Shuihan will answer that he will not sell to the technological world, then the powerful beings of the prehistoric world will always stand on Yi Shuihan's side. This will not be without benefit to Di Jun either, at least the prehistoric world's chances of victory will be greater.

If Yi Shuihan answers that she will sell, it will be exactly what Di Jun wants. In any case, no matter how Yi Shuihan answers, Di Jun will not lose out.

“As I said before, I am also a businessman. If he wants to buy, I will naturally sell. That is something that cannot be changed.”

Yi Shuihan saw through Di Jun's thoughts and answered in the same way. He only needed to lead the prehistoric world and the outside world to three victories. He had already counted one, and there were two left. It shouldn't take much time. As for the opinions of the powerful beings in the prehistoric world after the mission was completed, he didn't care at all.

Yi Shuihan was initially worried that this mission wouldn't be included in the overall plan. After all, while he was in charge, he was more going with the flow. The occupation of Kunlun wasn't his doing, and even without him, this war was still quite likely to happen.

The Holy Spirit's explanation made Yi Shuihan agree. Yi Shuihan played a decisive role in this war. Without him, the war would likely have been lost. Moreover, the war had defeated several Great Luo Golden Immortals and dozens of Quasi-Saints, which was a considerable number and met the requirements for a war between two realms.

Besides, if this doesn't count, then wouldn't it be necessary for several saints to die each time? In that case, Yi Shuihan wouldn't even have a chance to complete the mission.

"It's already quite good that Taiyi can help us. We have no reason to stop him from selling the system. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be a match for the technological world. Whether the other party buys the system or not, we are at a disadvantage."

Houtu began to protect Yishuihan again.

"What the Sage Houtu said is right. Besides, Fellow Daoist Taiyi's system is not cheap. Even in their technological world, it is not easy to buy a system that can cultivate sages. If it is a system that can cultivate those below the level of sage, I think it doesn't matter whether they want it or not."

Zhen Yuanzi also spoke up for Yi Shuihan, but what he said gained the approval of more powerful figures. Considering the price of Yi Shuihan's system, it really made sense.

Chapter 1210, The Chaotic Body

The system is good, but it's not cheap. For most people in the prehistoric world, the system is a high-end product that can only be admired from afar and not touched. To buy a system that can greatly enhance one's strength, one would have to go bankrupt.

Look at the Wu Clan, one of the two overlords of the prehistoric world. They have collected more treasures than the Demon Clan. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches cannot buy a system that matches their realm. It is estimated that the entire clan would have to sell everything they own to buy a Saint System. If the Wu Clan is like this, let alone rogue cultivators.

In the current prehistoric world, it is estimated that there are only a few people in total who can afford to buy the Saint System. Moreover, the success rate of cultivating the Saint System is only 10%. Therefore, if all of them were used to buy the system, it would probably only add one Saint. And one Saint would not have a significant impact on the great war between the two worlds.

In the primordial world, even though the technological world seems much stronger than the primordial world, the number of people who can actually purchase the Saint System is limited. At most, there might be a dozen or twenty heaven-defying beings. At that time, having two or three more Universe Emperors wouldn't be a big deal, since the difference between 35, 36, and 33 is not significant for the primordial world.

With the number of Yu Di not increasing, the Zhou Huang (Primordial Emperor) is naturally even less cared for by the Primordial World. The Zhou Huang's trees are counted in the tens of thousands, so adding a few hundred or a few thousand is as if there is no increase.

Intelligent people would naturally think of these things, and those who can cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal are not too stupid. Therefore, after Zhen Yuanzi reminded them, the powerful beings did not continue to worry too much about Yi Shuihan wanting to sell the system to outsiders.

"Now that we have driven the people of the technological world out of Kunlun, the Alliance has finally achieved a great victory. It would be a shame not to celebrate. I propose that the Alliance hold a banquet to celebrate for everyone."

Di Jun gave Zhen Yuanzi a deep look with his dark eyes, and then said.

"I also agree with celebrating, and we should celebrate wildly, so that the whole world knows that we have won a victory."

"As it should be."

"For the Alliance!"

And so the banquet was arranged. The entire anti-invasion alliance held the banquet on the spot in Kunlun. The banquet lasted for seven days and seven nights. At first, it was only the people of the anti-invasion alliance. Later, the whole prehistoric world knew about it and began to celebrate spontaneously, which evolved into a real feast.

The shadow of external invasion has dissipated considerably because of this victory, but those who truly understand know that this is only the beginning.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the chaotic void, there should have been only endless chaos and eternal silence, but now a person is stirring up trouble here.

Endless chaotic energy spun wildly, transforming into various unique forms under this person's movements: flying eagles and running beasts, gods and demons, and even technological warships.

Chaotic energy is a high-level energy, higher than spiritual energy and immortal energy. In essence, it is an energy that only saints are qualified to come into contact with.

In the primordial world today, even Nuwa and Houtu, who have already become saints, cannot actually control the chaotic energy; at most, they can only use it slightly.

The person in the chaotic void clearly wielded the chaotic energy with ease and skill, a technique surpassing that of ordinary saints. Who else could this person be but Yi Shuihan?

"That felt good. Although it wasn't a real battle, it was still a good way to release this powerful energy."

Looking at his masterpiece, Yi Shuihan laughed heartily.

After the banquet, Yi Shuihan went to the Chaotic Void and used all the power enhanced by his personal world to unleash his power. In the middle of the process, he discovered that he could completely control the Chaotic Qi, so he started playing around with it, which was an unexpected surprise.

"With this control, I can use the chaotic energy to transform my body into a chaotic body, allowing my body to reach the level of a true saint. At that time, the combat power exerted by my physical body alone will be comparable to that of a saint."

The Chaos Emperor is named so because he possesses a Chaos Body. One of the requirements for a True Saint to advance to the Chaos Emperor level is to possess a Chaos Body.

Yi Shuihan wasn't even a True Saint, yet he was already able to begin imbuing his physical body with the qualities of a Chaos Emperor, which was extremely rare in all the heavens and myriad realms. This was what was called a true prodigy, and what made all of this possible was Yi Shuihan's personal world.

Most of the skills he gained from his first time traveling to One Piece are no longer useful. However, his "Portable World" skill evolved from his "Portable Space" skill, which was one of Yi Shuihan's early skills. It's hard to imagine that it would be of such great help today, and it's estimated that it will continue to provide Yi Shuihan with tremendous support for a long time to come.

For Yi Shuihan, having such a high level of control over the chaotic energy was an unexpected surprise, which also disrupted his plans. He originally intended to come to the chaotic void to vent his frustrations, because the battles against Tu Ba and Murphy had left him feeling very dissatisfied, and the battles that required him to suppress his own power made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Now, in order to obtain the Chaos Body, Yi Shuihan naturally had to change his plans. So he left his main body in the Chaos Void to begin condensing the Chaos Body, while his clone returned to the Primordial World. Although the clone could not use the power of his personal world, it still had the strength of a saint, which was enough as long as no major battle broke out.

If war really breaks out, Yi Shuihan's main body can always return at any time. For him, it would be easy to travel from the chaotic void back to the prehistoric world.

When Yi Shuihan's true form was still in the chaotic void, no one in the entire prehistoric world except Hongjun knew about it. They couldn't even tell that the clone was not the true form, so they had no idea what earth-shattering thing Yi Shuihan was doing.

That's about condensing a chaotic body! For the primordial world, it's second only to the creation of heaven and earth, and in some ways, it's even more important than becoming a saint.

More than two months passed, and it was time for the second transaction with the Wizarding World. This time, the transaction between the Wizarding World and Yi Shui Han went very smoothly without any setbacks. If it could be considered a setback if some people saw it, then it was a bit of a setback.

Yi Shuihan had no intention of hiding the deal with the Wizarding World; otherwise, no one would have known. He deliberately took precautions to prepare for future transactions with the Technological World. If anyone dared to object, he would deal with them sooner rather than later.

This transaction also stimulated some consumption, causing many powerful figures in the prehistoric world to launch a wave of system purchases, taking out all their resources to buy systems for their disciples and descendants, so that they could become strong as soon as possible and avoid dying too quickly during this special period.

Chapter 1211, Houtu's Dark Cuisine

"Hmm, three million nine hundred and twenty thousand, the odd amount of 3470 can be ignored."

Looking at his contribution points with a smug smile, Yi Shuihan said he didn't care about the last four digits. Having contribution points meant he could be capricious. To express his happiness, Yi Shuihan directly rewarded the two shop assistants, Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe, with about 10 contribution points each. With their own commissions, it was barely enough to buy a Quasi-Saint System.
