Chapter 176: Chapter 163: Wang Yi’s Battle Plan

’A special lucky physique? It increases the luck of players in the settlement? Could it affect my blind box openings?’

Wang Yi’s thoughts raced. He said loudly, "Are you two together?"

Bai Xianyi said, "The one below is my friend. He devoured an Earth Deity and was affected by the ecosystem, suddenly mutating into an Incarnation Deity. He can’t speak right now, but he can understand what we’re saying."

’Not a Sufferer? A Player!’ Wang Yi paid a little more attention.

Bai Xianyi said, "You can transform into the Monkey King? Is that a cosmetic effect? Also, your identity is hidden from view. Do you have an item that conceals it?"

"Take a guess?" Wang Yi waved the decorative Golden Cudgel in his hand and said, "I’m in a hurry, so let’s skip the pointless chit-chat! Fight or get lost!"

Hearing this, Wei Shenming roared and charged ferociously at Wang Yi.

Four of the Monkey Kings stood guard by Wang Yi’s side, completely still. The other five immediately charged forward. In perfect unison, they executed an upward flick of their staves, catching Wei Shenming’s Earth Vine Dragon form under the chin and launching him into the air. His body was sent spinning vertically, belly exposed.

"Yah!"

The five Great Saints then thrusted their staves in unison, striking the Earth Vine Dragon’s abdomen. BANG! An immense force erupted, sending it flying several dozen yards away. It landed flat on its back with a thunderous CRASH, causing the ground to tremble.

Seeing this, Wang Yi thought, ’As expected of the Monkey King. His martial arts are truly superb. When they’re not just swinging their cudgels around and actually use other fighting techniques, they look so damn cool!’

But Wang Yi wasn’t just a spectator. He took the opportunity to test his Mountain and River True Qi. With a mere thought, a faint, blue, misty light materialized around him.

That misty light was a single draught of Mountain and River True Qi!

[Ding! You have used one draught of Mountain and River True Qi. Please select a mountain or river target and perform an action.]

[Ding! Notification: The consumption rate of the Mountain and River True Qi will be determined by the target and the action performed. If no action is taken within 24 hours, this draught of Mountain and River True Qi will dissipate.]

Hearing the system prompts, Wang Yi understood. He pointed a finger toward the Little Scale Mountain God in the forest, and the Mountain and River True Qi around him shot out like an arrow. The moment it made contact with the Little Scale Mountain God, Wang Yi formed a strange mental link with it.

"Release Refinement!"

Wang Yi snorted softly. A system prompt immediately rang in his mind, announcing that the [Grass Mud Armor·Little Scale Mountain God]’s Refinement had been released. At the same time, the Little Scale Mountain God, which had been in the form of humanoid Battle Armor, instantly reverted to its original shape: a small hillock shaped like a scale weight, covered in yellow grass and no more than 20 meters tall.

"Moving Mountains! Flying in the Sky!"

Wang Yi shouted again. As he willed it, the link established by the Mountain and River True Qi took effect. He telekinetically lifted the Weighing Scale Small Mountain and, with a wave of his arm, smashed it down violently upon the fallen Earth Vine Dragon.

With a thunderous BOOM, the Weighing Scale Small Mountain slammed down on the Earth Vine Dragon’s body, causing it to instantly vomit blood.

’If this had been a real mountain, that one blow would have utterly annihilated this Incarnation Deity, body and soul!’

Wang Yi’s eyes narrowed. The Mountain and River True Qi that enveloped him and connected him to the Weighing Scale Small Mountain was still active. He instantly grasped the true use of [Commanding Mountains and Rivers].

At that moment, Bai Xianyi hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

But she was in no position to command Wang Yi.

’Stop?’

’How could I?’

’That Wei Shenming is an Incarnation Deity. He just clearly showed his intent to attack, so why didn’t you tell *him* to stop then?’

’This is the perfect time to finish him off while he’s vulnerable. Why would I stop?’

Wang Yi snorted and shouted again, "Moving Mountains, Flying in the Sky!"

The Weighing Scale Small Mountain responded instantly, tearing away from the ground and rising into the air. Wei Shenming’s Earth Vine Dragon incarnation, covered in blood and with countless shattered Wood Knots on its body, was still struggling to its feet.

But the Weighing Scale Small Mountain quickly dropped again, crushing it once more.

"Collapse!"

Wang Yi shouted one more time. BOOM! The Weighing Scale Small Mountain instantly exploded as if it were packed with explosives, giving no one time to react. The mountain was pulverized in an instant. The ground shook, and nearby trees snapped and splintered as dirt was thrown into the air. The powerful blast created a shockwave that forced even the five closest Monkey Kings to shield their faces and fall back.

A moment later, a large crater had formed in the ground, and within it lay the mangled pieces of the Earth Vine Dragon.

As for the man himself, Wei Shenming, he was dead as a doornail.

There was loot in the crater, but only a single item: a [Universal Experience Book].

At that point, the Mountain and River True Qi around Wang Yi’s body dissipated along with the destroyed Weighing Scale Small Mountain.

’If I hadn’t triggered the Mountain Collapse, this Mountain and River True Qi might have lasted a bit longer... Moving Mountains, Mountain-Breaking, parting waters, diverting rivers... So this is what Commanding Mountains and Rivers is all about. It seems you only get this level of command after releasing the Refinement...’

’It cost nearly ten thousand points of Chaos Energy for the Refinement of this Weighing Scale Small Mountain. Was achieving this level of control worth it?’

Wang Yi silently did the math. He decided that summoning Fantasy Avatars was still more cost-effective. After all, with ten thousand points of Chaos Energy, he could summon a Third-stage Illusion Clone ten times.

"He’s dead!"

High above in the Steam Airship, Bai Xianyi frowned as she gazed down at the massive crater, but then she sighed. "It’s for the best. The Incarnation Deity could be killed, which means Wei Shenming has successfully returned to his original world!"

She looked back to Wang Yi and said, "Friend, how about we talk a little more?"

"Like I said before, I’m in a hurry. Let’s skip the pointless conversation!"

As Wang Yi spoke, he used another draught of Mountain and River True Qi, this time connecting it to the Little Water Spirit Blade. With a single thought, he released its Refinement, causing it to revert to its true form—a kilometer-long stream flowing through the forest.
