Chapter 154: Complete Wu Shi Killing Formation

The forbidden scriptures are the last few volumes of the Great Emperor's ancient canon, possessing divine might that shocks heaven and earth and makes ghosts and gods weep; only an extremely few can cultivate and master them.

The Xi Huang Scripture once returned to the hands of Emperor Wu Shi, after which it was left to Yang Zhu; although the Yaochi cultivators possess a complete copy, they lack the last few volumes of the forbidden scriptures.

On one hand, it requires extremely high Dao nature and talent; second, those without a Dao fetus physique cannot cultivate it, just as the Wu Shi Scripture cannot be cultivated by those lacking a Sacred Body Dao Fetus, with many restrictions.

This is also unavoidable, because when the Great Emperor's ancient canon was first created, it was tailored to suit the creator themselves, making it the most suitable for their own cultivation.

Yang Zhu began browsing the last few pages, then retreated into seclusion again; in a blink, another month passed, during which he gained many insights and his strength surged greatly.

He differs from Ye Fan, who cultivates only the volume corresponding to each realm; instead, he masters the entire volume in its entirety.

Being able to cultivate other Great Emperor's ancient scriptures simultaneously is one of the innate advantages of the Sacred Body Dao Fetus.

In the Hun Dun Chi, mist swirls; for the past two months, it has been continuously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, devouring the essence of sun and moon, ultimately becoming this place's special mysterious substance.

"What a miraculous property."

After such a long refinement, five drops of undying substance have already condensed in the pool; Yang Zhu is very pleased with this, and his resolve to make this place his rear garden grows firmer! The Hun Dun Chi slowly turns, continuing to draw in the mysterious substance, while Yang Zhu again falls into contemplation; in the blink of an eye, another two months pass.

After four months of seclusion, Yang Zhu slowly opened his eyes; in an instant, the bones of his sea of suffering crackled, as if a fragment of star were collapsing.

Within his body, it seemed as if a "Wilderness Dragon" had revived, its terrifying aura spreading, his entire form sinking into one dreadful black hole after another, swallowing and exhaling dark light, even able to halt time.

His realm broke through again, reaching the fifth layer of Dragon Transformation, becoming ever more terrifying and unfathomable.

Yang Zhu rose to his feet, his black robe fluttering as he gathered his aura completely; he took out a stone token, crushed it, and then began to activate the formation.

……

Somewhere in the Northern Region.

"You dead dog, stop right there! Are you even stealing from your own kind?"

Li Heishui, furious and embarrassed, strained to chase after the big black dog.

They had just cut a bright fruit from a piece of rare stone material, not yet having time to identify what it was, when the big black dog snatched it away.

"What do you mean by stealing? This is something I, the Emperor, threw away back then!"

In response, the big black dog spoke righteously and paid no heed to Li Heishui, whose face was flushed red from chasing behind.

"Here I come!"

Afterward, he suddenly stopped, staring fixedly in a certain direction.

"Why aren't you running?"

Ye Fan and the others caught up, seeing the halted Black Emperor, they couldn't help but be startled; this was truly unprecedented!

"Go away, I'm not bothered to play with you guys."

The Black Emperor loosened his mouth, spat out the fruit, and unleashed a prepared teleportation formation, crossing the void.

"No, Black Emperor, you're going to……"

Just as Ye Fan was about to call out to him to ask the reason, the teleportation formation vanished in the next instant, and his words never left his lips.

"What's going on?"

They stood frozen, staring at each other, wondering what could make the extremely greedy big black dog give up a treasure already at its mouth… the Undying Mountain.

Yang Zhu spent three days laying down many Great Emperor formation patterns around the area; after ensuring everything was correct, he finally glanced into the depths and offered up a stone disk.

The stone disk turned, and a light gate unfolded directly; surprisingly, it could break through this place's restrictions, allowing a crossing of the void here.

Yang Zhu took a step forward and vanished from the spot.

The next moment, a large hand reached out from the light gate, its surface covered in Dao patterns, myriad threads of silk entwined, chaotic mist swirling; a slight movement caused the void to collapse entirely.

Buzz! The formation patterns Yang Zhu had laid down now all appeared, dense and thick, covering the heavens and earth, everything within a radius of half a zhang enveloped.

Moreover, these are all Great Emperor formation patterns, profound and mysterious; even the restrictions of the Undying Mountain cannot erase them.

Whoa! The large hand seized the Enlightenment Tea Tree in one grip; empowered by the Great Emperor formation patterns, with a heave it uprooted the ancient tree, roots and all.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree suddenly seemed to come alive, actually growing two legs, it struggled violently, trying to break free from the large hand's binding.

No matter how hard it struggled, the large hand was like an eternal, immovable force; all efforts were in vain! The hand withdrew, intending to place the Undying Divine Tree into the gate; at that moment, the black ground surfaced countless black threads, each shrouded in black mist.

The black threads flickered, releasing a terrifying aura, pulling the surrounding black peaks, which began to tremble.

They channeled a strange energy, firmly anchoring the Undying Divine Tree, preventing it from entering the light gate.

"Indeed, not easy to handle."

Behind the huge light curtain, Yang Zhu couldn't help but frown, his hand unconsciously increasing force; but the power of the Undying Mountain was extremely strange, terrifyingly strong, and the tree trunk was gradually drifting away from the gate.

At the same time, another mysterious aura came rushing in, beginning to erode the gate, seeking to close it and utterly annihilate it.

Boom! Suddenly, the twenty-seven great peaks in the deepest part shook violently, and a terrifying life form burst forth.

It was a headless knight, tall and majestic, the iron clothing on his body flowing with cold light, his momentum oppressive, like a towering great peak pressing down!

He seemed like a deity who had lost his head, his prestige overwhelming heaven and earth; even the firmament trembled because of him, and the endless black mountains rumbled, all beginning to shake.

He wielded a black spear, his horse trampling the void, his mighty battle intent soaring to the heavens, like an immortal ancient war god of slaughter come from those primordial ages! "Boom—rumble!"

The headless knight charged like a flood, shattering the void completely, ripping open a vast spatial abyss.

"You dare!"

Yang Zhu gave a light chuckle; the stone disk slowly turned, emitting a killing intent extreme to the utmost, endless imperial might pervading, boundless and vast, more surging than a heavenly flood! In an instant, heaven collapsed and earth split, the void shattered, abysses spreading to the firmament, comparable to an endless cosmos, above, vast swaths of star fields collapsed, stars scattered, the scene utterly terrifying.

Within the stone disk, the Great Emperor's killing intent leaked out; the entire space could not bear it, and even the Undying Mountain began to tremble.

The mysterious beings within the Undying Mountain, sensing that overwhelming imperial might, were all terrified, trembling, and fell to their knees.

"The complete Wu Shi Great Emperor Killing Formation! How could it possibly appear here?"

The headless knight's motion halted abruptly; terrifying as he was, he was still frightened into turning and fleeing, fear reaching its peak.

Within the stone disk lay an intact Wu Shi Killing Formation, not yet activated; merely a trace of its qi leaking out caused the headless knight's iron attire to rupture, his bones to crackle, nearly crushing him.

If he had fled a step later, once the intact Wu Shi Killing Formation activated, it would be certain death, both body and spirit destroyed! What is a complete Great Emperor Killing Formation? It is a killing move that can match a full-powered strike from Emperor Wu Shi himself; not to mention a mere gatekeeper, even if the supreme being inside awakened and took a hit, they could not withstand it! "Get lost!"

Yang Zhu had no wish to deal with him; the next moment, imperial might spread, and the Slay Immortal Sword Diagram swept out from the light gate, unfurling in the void; in an instant, endless slaughtering sword intent burst forth!
