Hearing the repeated pleas of this primordial being, Feng Bingwen remained unmoved. Who knew if this was the Heavenly Dao of this world deceiving him? If he showed mercy, he would be the one to suffer.
"If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, shut up and take the beating. Don't make unrealistic demands!"
Feng Bingwen looked at the sluggish, obviously problematic innate creature in front of him, which was still trying to whine. He directly used a divine thought to cut off its unrealistic thoughts.
"I...have no intention of...being your enemy..."
Faced with Feng Bingwen's fierce attack of using a magical artifact as a magic seal to bombard the mountain beast with its body made of mountains, it was in a sorry state and could only respond intermittently and with difficulty.
"Hmm, I understand. Since you have no intention of being my enemy, then lie down and let me smash you to pieces. I am in need of a protective magic seal, and I see that your torso and core are just the right fit!"
Feng Bingwen spoke without hesitation, showing no mercy whatsoever. Although he was compassionate, his compassion was directed towards his own kind. As for other races, or even races from other worlds, he did not have much kindness towards them.
"No...no...don't do this! I...want to live..."
The mountain behemoth's movements became increasingly stiff, and faced with Feng Bingwen's undisguised and fierce killing intent, it was also aroused with its strongest will to survive; it wanted to live.
"I... was manipulated... I really... had no intention of being your enemy!"
Upon hearing the intermittent divine thoughts, Feng Bingwen's mind stirred. His guess this time was almost entirely correct. This guy was indeed pushed out to take the hit by the will of this world, and had no choice in the matter.
"No wonder!"
At this moment, Feng Bingwen felt no sympathy for the helpless innate being before him. Instead, he thought of the innate gods who had endowed him with invincible physiques. No wonder they wanted to transcend so much, not just to pursue great freedom and ease.
boom--
The impact, almost tangible, spread in all directions. A massive claw, as thick as a pillar, collapsed. Although the mountain beast cried out for mercy repeatedly, Feng Bingwen showed no mercy whatsoever.
Indeed, this guy is a helpless and unlucky fellow. He can't even control his own body and can only be manipulated. He can't even unleash one or two tenths of his power and can only passively take hits because of his innate sturdiness.
But what does this have to do with him? It's not like he ordered the Heavenly Dao of this world to do this. Moreover, for him, an immortal who came from outside the realm, whether the innate being before him is driven by its own will or not is completely unimportant and makes no difference.
Oh no, it's not entirely unimportant. Allowing the Heavenly Dao, which has no self-awareness, to manipulate things is simply setting up a relatively solid target for it. It only takes a little effort to break it down.
"Master, please stop smashing it! If you keep smashing it, I'm really going to crack!"
At this moment, Feng Bingwen, whose heart was as firm as iron, heard a rather noisy voice. After this spiritual artifact was used as a magic seal to smash out, it kept chattering and persistently reiterating its own position.
Even Feng Bingwen was getting annoyed by it. Although he didn't quite believe that a celestial artifact of such high quality could be so easily broken by a mere Earth Immortal like him.
But no matter what, this guy still calls me Master. This is a celestial artifact in his hands. If it is really damaged, it would be quite troublesome for him to repair it completely with his current level of cultivation.
"That's enough!"
Having confirmed that the innate being with an exceptionally powerful aura that appeared before him was actually Feng Bingwen, who could be easily manipulated, had a change of heart. Under the earnest pleas of the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, he finally put it away and nurtured it in his Qi Sea.
As for himself, he took a step forward, and in an instant, the tiny figure that was originally less than a foot tall transformed into a towering giant thousands of feet tall. His surging blood energy transformed into a crimson-gold pillar that soared into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds in all directions.
In an instant, even the true dragons scattered throughout this cave world noticed the surging blood energy that Feng Bingwen displayed at this moment.
"Is this a human?"
"His vitality is truly exaggerated; I don't even seem to be as good as him."
The familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar aura made even Zhenlong, who was unfamiliar with Feng Bingwen, unable to help but question it.
Judging from his aura alone, it seems that even a true dragon is not as good as this guy. If they were at the same level, this human would seem to be a ferocious being who could fight a true dragon with his physical strength alone.
"Fellow Daoist Feng's physique is truly astonishing. I never expected you to have such a hidden skill. But Fellow Daoist Feng, what kind of opponent have you encountered that forces you to personally engage in combat?"
Let alone the True Dragon who was unfamiliar with Feng Bingwen, even the Black Dragon who knew Feng Bingwen was somewhat surprised and uncertain at this moment. They even guessed that Feng Bingwen had encountered an exceptionally troublesome existence in this world, so he had no choice but to reveal the trump card that he had been hiding.
Although he suspected that Feng Bingwen had encountered a formidable opponent, Heilong did not intend to go to his aid immediately. Firstly, he himself had an opponent, and secondly, the aura was so strong that even Feng Bingwen himself should have a good chance of suppressing the enemy, so there was no need for him to travel so far back and forth.
Unfortunately, even the Black Dragon, who thought Feng Bingwen was a bloodthirsty and warlike cultivator, was wrong. Feng Bingwen's personal appearance on the field was entirely due to his certainty that his opponent was so weak that he would not encounter any danger.
Given the choice, Feng Bingwen would never engage in close combat unless he was forced into a corner with no way out, just like when he went to the territory of the demon race and fought a bloody battle with Kunpeng.
At that time, he couldn't run away, nor could he retreat, since he was bearing the title of Supreme Daoist. If he retreated, he could forget about living in the Nine Provinces of the Human Race.
"It feels great!"
Feng Bingwen, unarmed and displaying a fighting stance, exuded powerful energy and blood within his robust physique, giving him an earth-shattering strength with every move he made.
When this power fell upon a primordial being, even if his body could evolve into mountains, it could not bear this power and was struck so hard that rocks flew everywhere and the body trembled incessantly.
But to be fair, this guy is worthy of his innate talent. Feng Bingwen is confident that even if a mortal immortal of the same realm takes a punch from him with their immortal body, they can basically start thinking about reincarnation and starting over.
Even among the dragons, known for their powerful physiques, few true dragons would dare to be his punching bag. After a few heavy blows, even a true dragon would probably be beaten to death.
Despite his relentless attacks, this innate being never gave up begging for mercy, and the cries it emitted grew increasingly mournful, making those who heard them feel pity.
"Stop howling. Even if I don't lay a hand on you, what can you do? You can't control your own body. If I let you go, you'll be forced to seek out other beings, and in the end, you'll just be beaten to a pulp. It's better to fall into my hands; I can give you a more swift end."
Feng Bingwen wanted to shut this guy up. Even if he suddenly had a brain fart and was suddenly filled with kindness, so what? This guy's body had already been almost taken over by the Heavenly Dao of this world. If he was bypassed, he would still have to face other true dragons. His final fate was already predetermined.
So, it's better to let him benefit than to let those dragons benefit; it makes no difference to him anyway.
"No, I can... actively shatter this body!"
Seemingly enraged by Feng Bingwen's words, the giant beast, who called himself the Lord of the Mountains, immediately replied, but the silence in between was exceptionally long, as if it knew just how ridiculous this attempt to save face was.
"You're capable of self-destruction?"
Upon hearing these laughable words, Feng Bingwen didn't mock the guy in front of him. Instead, his eyes lit up. If this guy could voluntarily self-destruct, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"...What...do you want to do?"
The Lord of the Mountain Range couldn't understand why this exceptionally ruthless extraterrestrial demon had suddenly become interested in this. He had begged for so long, but this guy had remained extremely ruthless, only wanting to shatter his body.
Do you want to live?
Feng Bingwen asked in a seductive voice.
"think!"
However, there was no need for Feng Bingwen to bewitch him. This innate being had always had an extremely strong will to survive. As soon as Feng Bingwen finished speaking, he sent out a firm thought.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's make a deal. You self-destruct first, and I'll retrieve your soul the moment your body shatters. You might become extremely weak afterward, and you might even lose the body that can withstand my punches, but you will gain freedom you've never known before."
Feng Bingwen enthusiastically shared the idea that had flashed into his mind and made the suggestion.
"No!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's suggestion, this innate being rejected without any hesitation.
Although he could not control his own body, his will gradually became clear during the time he was forcibly awakened by heaven and earth, causing him to self-destruct voluntarily. After the self-destruction, his soul was taken out and he was given so-called freedom.
Are you kidding me? Do you think he's a brainless idiot?
"Don't rush to refuse. Why not think it over patiently? This is your only chance to survive!"
Feng Bingwen was not angry at the rejection. Instead, he maliciously coaxed the creature, and while saying these words, he did not stop, continuously shattering the body of the innate being.
"..."
The Lord of the Mountain fell silent. As his will awakened further, he was able to control more bodies and gain greater dominance. However, his body had already been damaged by Feng Bingwen, and even if he took over completely, he would be powerless to reverse the situation.
His fate seemed sealed, with no room for maneuver. It seemed he could only gamble on the nature of the greedy extraterrestrial demon before him and believe that he would keep his promise.
Everyone should give it a try!
As for strong and effective means of restraint, sorry, there aren't any. This realm of Heaven is already on the verge of destruction, so what force could he possibly use to make this being keep his promise? It's simply unrealistic.
"I advise you not to waste too much time. Even if you don't self-destruct, it will only take me a little more time. The reason I agreed to preserve your soul is just to save some energy. Don't make a mistake for yourself, and don't even think about using this as a bargaining chip. You have no bargaining power with me. Your only bargaining power is your self-destruction."
Feng Bingwen continued to chatter on and on about the innate being before him, but it was all just empty talk. His hands didn't slow down at all. If this guy was actually persuaded by him, then he would have a lot less to worry about.
Moreover, he could try to see what the success rate was in helping a primordial being reincarnate. And once he left this world, would he have achieved transcendence?
Feng Bingwen was very curious about these things. Anyway, he only needed to exert a little effort, and he didn't need to bear the consequences of failure, so it didn't matter.
How can I trust you?
Contemplating his own survival, the Lord of the Mountains grew increasingly aware of the situation, but he also deeply understood that he truly had no bargaining power.
The destruction of this world was inevitable, and he did not want to perish along with it. Moreover, he had already seen clearly how this world treated him.
If it weren't for these guys in front of him, he would probably have fallen into a deep sleep and never had the chance to wake up again. Whether this awakening is his last revival or a new beginning depends on this moment.
“I come from another world. As beings from different worlds, it is extremely difficult for us to trust each other. However, I do not need to depend on you. Whether you believe or not is up to you. I will not force you, nor will I waste my time!”
As he spoke, Feng Bingwen's palm had already penetrated deep into the chest cavity of this mountain beast. Accompanied by a shattering sound that echoed through the heavens and earth, an exceptionally dazzling irregular crystal appeared in his withdrawn palm.
"Ha, your time is running out!"
Looking at the crystal in his hand that contained extraordinary power, Feng Bingwen kindly offered a reminder.
"What do you plan to do after you've taken my soul?"
There wasn't much time for him to think, so the Lord of the Mountains asked Feng Bingwen one last question.
"I will arrange for you to be reincarnated and reborn as a living being. However, you will not be able to retain your current power. It is impossible for you to take it with you. I do not have that ability, and you cannot keep it either!"
Feng Bingwen knew very well that to transcend, one had to give up everything one was born with.
He did want to exploit the survival instinct of this innate being before him and abduct him entirely, but that was impossible; at most, he could only try to extract his soul.
