329: vitality

Chen Tianming turned around immediately, swaying back and forth.

The Goddess frowned sharply, then pointed at her own body.

"My battle armor was shattered by you. Compensate me!"

Chen Tianming was taken aback for a moment.

"Compensate you? The Celestial Battle Armor? Don't make things difficult for me!"

The Goddess was angry.

"Shut up! Lowly mortal. If you don't have armor, just give me a set of ordinary clothes. How can a body like mine be stared at by low-level scum like you!"

As she spoke, she was about to punch Chen Tianming again.

Chen Tianming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, alright. But let me make this clear first: whatever clothes I have on me, you'll wear. That's sincere enough, right!"

This time, the Goddess didn't speak again, which was taken as tacit agreement.

But to her surprise, Chen Tianming pulled out a gorgeous bodysuit.

High-cut, swimwear, pink and tender, lace.

The Goddess's perfect figure was wrapped in the tight swimsuit; it was stimulating just to look at!

The Goddess waved her hand, and the garment was already on her body.

Chen Tianming only felt his nosebleed uncontrollably beginning to trickle, his heart filled with palpitations.

The Goddess spoke generously.

"I'm ready. Lead the way!"

Chen Tianming agreed immediately.

"Alrighty! We'll slip into the village quietly, and no shooting allowed!"

The Goddess clearly couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words and followed elegantly behind Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming led her toward the road to Huilong City, which seemed perfectly fine.

But the Goddess didn't know that the path Chen Tianming was taking her on was the most populous and complex one.

Fifty-some miles ahead was a large city, majestic and vast, heavily guarded.

Because of the battle between the world's strongest, even though it was night, the city was still brightly lit.

However, those weren't the lights of ten thousand homes, but rather the raging fires ignited by countless overturned lamps following the battle of the strong.

Where the earthquake struck, houses collapsed, the moat overflowed, and the common people wailed to the heavens. Some rogue cultivators were trying to maintain order everywhere, but they were powerless.

The City Lord, wearing armor with a gold-inlaid hammer resting on his shoulder, commanded soldiers to stand before the city while chewing tobacco, clearing his throat.

"Ahem! Spit! Listen well, all of you. I don't care how lazy you are usually, but pull it together right now. It's not just the commoners in this city who are suffering; it's your families too!"

The soldiers dispersed, their mortal bodies stepping into the sea of fire.

Chen Tianming walked straight into the city; the fires, chasms, and floods could not block him at all.

The Goddess followed coldly behind him.

Even in the midst of disaster, anyone who saw this pair of oddballs would find them strange.

They even stopped calling for help and paused their rescue efforts.

But in the blink of an eye, they recovered.

In the midst of a great disaster, who would care about a hot beauty and a ragged man?

At this moment, Chen Tianming suddenly stopped. The Goddess was on guard and spoke coldly.

"What are you doing! Trying to resist?"

Chen Tianming shook his head.

"No, but I want to ask, do you feel nothing when you see this?"

Chen Tianming's words brought forth the Goddess's disdain.

"Mere ants, what does it have to do with me?"

Chen Tianming spread his hands and waved casually; ice pillars sprouted, the water flow stopped, and the fires were extinguished.

With just a wave, he saved hundreds of people.

As for the Goddess, she blocked with her fists, but the places she blocked were still covered in red flames.

The Goddess shouted lowly.

"What are you doing!"

Chen Tianming ignored her, waving his hand again and again, seven or eight times, until houses were propped up, gullies were connected, and the fires were completely extinguished.

Everyone in the city breathed a sigh of relief.

Countless gazes looked over from afar at the strange man and woman wearing indecent clothing.

But no one scoffed.

Soldiers, commoners, scholars, bureaucrats, even cultivators.

All of them, without exception, equal in the eyes of all beings, knelt down one after another.

Chen Tianming didn't respond and continued walking.

The two passed through a wilderness and mountains, walking to the edge of the next city, where the land was cracked and fissured.

People who had been buried were dug out, but they had no breath left.

Each and every one of them was like a statue of mud.

Chen Tianming spoke playfully at this moment.

"Hey! Let me ask you something. Are you the one who molded mud to create humans?"

The Goddess shook her head.

She urged Chen Tianming to keep walking forward.

However, Chen Tianming stopped halfway.

He sighed softly and raised both hands. The gravity fluctuations changed completely; the soil from the earth rose from the bottom up, and the collapsed houses shattered and floated, turning the whole city into a magical scene.

Amidst this wonder, countless corpses floated.

Their surviving family members wailed and pulled them into their arms.

But there were also some that no one claimed, or where the whole family had died.

Chen Tianming continued walking, but someone couldn't hold back.

They rushed over, knelt on the ground, and grabbed Chen Tianming tightly or hugged his legs.

"Great Immortal! No, Great God, please, save my family!"

Chen Tianming looked over. The person's eyes and nose were full of mud, and their body was already stiff, maintaining the posture of digging.

He sighed.

"They are dead; there is nothing I can do!"

Chen Tianming could save people, but he only saved those on the verge of death, or cultivators who had died but whose Golden Core and Primordial Spirit remained.

For those who were purely dead, their souls dissipated, and he was powerless to bring them back.

However, for those who still had a breath left, those who were injured, or those who had fainted from excessive blood loss, he did his best to treat them.

Chen Tianming continued walking, with many people behind him begging and crying.

But as a villain, he had done his best.

The Goddess passed by the dead, remaining indifferent, and Chen Tianming no longer held any hope.

The heavens and earth have no path; all things are but straw dogs.

When they reached the very front, almost out of the city, there was a completely collapsed small building with fragments floating in the air.

Amidst countless soil fragments, the man's stiff corpse floated, his hands maintaining a strange posture.

Below the man was a woman, curled up in a posture.

Looking closely, one could see that inside the woman's body, there was a child who hadn't even reached a year old.

A family of three, all dead here, with no one even to collect their bodies.

Chen Tianming watched from afar and reached out; the three bodies changed shape, and he muttered to himself.

"He wanted to lift them up, but the structure above collapsed, smashing all three of them into the soil."

Chen Tianming analyzed the scene as the disaster occurred and continued walking forward. As he walked, he turned his head unconsciously.

The sexy Goddess in the swimsuit, who had been like a tag-along, was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Tianming frowned and, like a silly roe deer, poked his head back to look for her.

Finally, he returned to the small building, from which a pink light was emanating.

Countless peach blossom branches and leaves flew out from her palms, carrying endless vitality.

Chen Tianming reached out to imitate her.

But he couldn't perform this Taoist technique.

Vitality was another realm he had never touched before. He tried to comprehend it like he did the power of space, but he couldn't enter the state.

The peach blossoms formed a tray, supporting the three people like a floating altar.

Suddenly, the three began to cough.

Chen Tianming stepped forward and hurriedly extracted all the dust blocking the three people's bodies.

They gasped for a few breaths and, in confusion, came back to life.

Suddenly, a beautiful song drifted over, and Chen Tianming widened his eyes in surprise.

Divine sounds emanated from the Goddess's mouth, and her hands up to her wrists transformed into blooming flowers, flying toward the outskirts of the city.
