At that moment, his heart felt an unprecedented peace, so peaceful that he could hear the breathing of the bow and arrow, breathing along with him, as if they were alive and conversing with him!
"Kill God!"
Xu Le drew the bow and bent over in one smooth motion, his true energy continuously flowing into the God-Slaying Arrow, completing the infusion in an instant and covering his mind within it.
Xu Le's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyes slowly opened. He saw the golden rope that had come to him and felt the powerful force contained within it. He loosened his nock and took a step back due to the excessive use of his strength, his body trembling slightly.
A white light flashed, and the arrow flew like a star, colliding with the golden rope that was inches away. With the help of immense immortal energy, it transformed into a radiant trail behind it, becoming a descending comet. After traversing countless spaces, it accumulated immense power and erupted in an instant.
Boom!
The arrow struck the rope, causing a massive burst of celestial energy within it. It exploded into a beam of white light, like a nuclear bomb exploding, and the terrifying impact created a huge shockwave that spread outwards.
Whew!
Xu Le retreated several hundred meters, the wind whipping his clothes and making them flutter. The massive shockwave spread, but only caused his body to tremble slightly. The immortal energy he had just lost due to excessive consumption slowly returned as it was replenished by his inner world.
Although in theory his true energy is replenished by his inner world and can be considered limitless, theory is still theory. Infinite is a paradox. His inner world also has its limits, so it is impossible for him to have infinite power. It is just that it is much more than the immortal energy that his physical body can store.
Therefore, to some extent, the inner world can be viewed as a huge battery that continuously generates energy, and Xu Le is the one who has the wiring to obtain energy from it.
If it's just a trickle, the rate of acquisition is far greater than the rate of consumption. However, if a large amount is consumed at once, the excess will cause a temporary dryness. Therefore, Xu Le poured all the immortal energy into his body at once, putting himself in a state of temporary weakness.
Feeling the power slowly returning, Xu Le's gaze turned solemn as he looked at the center of the explosion, where the smoke and dust were slowly dissipating. In his heart, Xu Le called for arrows, and a smile appeared on his face.
Amidst the thick smoke and dust, a white arrow flew back, circled Xu Le's body a few times, and then, like a child waiting for praise from his parents, triumphantly returned to Xu Le's hand.
The golden rope lost its luster, gradually dimmed, and finally exploded in the air, turning into starlight and dissipating.
A hint of surprise appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's face as he continued, "Interesting little fellow, you blocked my casual attack. You've only recently become an immortal, yet your strength is no less than that of a Heavenly Immortal!"
The Heavenly Emperor paused for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on the face of the cloud-form human, and he said mockingly, "But you are still too weak!"
The Heavenly Emperor calmly stated a fact, and the golden light condensed again. This time, there were nine golden ropes that twisted and soared in the air like divine dragons, flying towards Xu Le.
It seems I have no choice but to leave!
Xu Lexin sank to the bottom. If she stayed any longer, she would only be doomed. It would be better to retreat first and come back to settle scores with him when she was stronger.
Xu Le is decisive and, after deciding to retreat, he doesn't care about saving face. He uses his telekinesis to create hundreds of layers of protective shields.
Ding ding ding!
The invisible protective barrier was as if it were nothing in front of the nine golden ropes, easily shattered like paper, yet it still served its purpose.
Each barrier blocked them for 0.01 seconds. Although brief, it was enough for beings above the immortal level to process their thoughts several times, and enough for Xu Le to summon the Gate of Myriad Realms to escape!
"Trying to escape? How naive!"
The Heavenly Emperor's voice boomed like thunder, deafeningly loud. The nine golden ropes in the air transformed, intertwining and twisting together, turning into a thick hemp rope. Divine power surged, and hundreds of barriers were shattered in an instant, turning into starlight and dissipating.
"Oh no!"
Xu Le's gaze flickered, and the aura of the Gate of Myriad Realms rippled in his hand. However, he was still 0.03 seconds away from opening the gate, but it was too late to face the golden rope!

Chapter 279: Battle
"Fuxi, can you stop now?"
As a melodious voice, as sweet as a lark's, rang out, a slender, plump finger gently touched the golden rope. Without any unusual phenomenon, the golden rope lost its luster, fell to the ground, tumbled a few times, and then remained still.
Xu Le's gaze sharpened as he looked at the stunningly beautiful woman who had blocked Fuxi's attack in front of him. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her long, black hair cascaded to the ground. She was beautiful without any makeup, and every smile and frown was captivating!
Nuwa's beauty is different from that of humans. She has the playfulness of a young girl, the charm of the vicissitudes of time, and most importantly, her maternal radiance, which is not only for herself but also for all living beings in the world. These multiple qualities are mixed together, yet they make people feel very harmonious.
Xu Le withdrew and retreated. Although he didn't sense any hostility from Nuwa, he couldn't help but think that this being who had lived for countless years was a naive and innocent fool. Moreover, he had just tricked her not long ago. Although he didn't know why she was helping him, there must be a purpose behind it.
However, what puzzled Xu Le was that he felt a familiar sensation from Nuwa, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
The summoning of the Gate of Myriad Realms was completely completed. Xu Le stepped back to a safe distance and observed the two great gods with a deep relationship.
The human face that Fuxi conjured gradually blurred, and a thunderous voice boomed: "Feng Lixi, I never expected you to be able to come back! What a pleasant surprise!"
"Surprise! Ha!" Nuwa waved her sleeve, and a gust of wind blew up the giant human face in the sky.
"It's been so long, and this is how you treat me? It really hurts my feelings!"
The Heavenly Emperor's words contained no hint of reminiscence; a golden barrier opened, blocking the gale.
"Taihao, you are still so ruthless. Back then, you seized the Divine Tree, causing my fall and Shennong's disappearance. You even suppressed my soul under the Demon-Locking Tower, using filthy demon blood and evil energy to wear down my soul. And now you still have the nerve to come and reminisce with me!"
Nuwa snorted coldly, her long skirt dragging on the ground, untouched by dust, as white as snowflakes falling on a winter night.
"Nuwa, after so many years of sealing, your strength has not only not improved, but has been worn down by more than half!"
Fuxi spoke calmly, and a huge vortex appeared in the sky, from which a giant tentacle stretched out.
"Sing!"
A divine dragon made entirely of wood flew out from the center of the vortex, letting out a defiant roar, its divine power shaking all directions.
The wood grain is carved on it, but there is no majestic spirit, only a silent terror. The wooden dragon is like a puppet, and its body and tail are not dragon tails, but rather a sprawling wooden body, as if connected to some object.
The wooden dragon extended its giant claws, its five sharp claws, as large as small mountains, and reached out to grab Nuwa.
"Nuwa, come back to the realm of gods with me!"
