Chapter 195: One Battle, Total Annihilation!

Forged from the Nine Great Immortal Gold and the eighth-layer flame of the Fire Domain, the Chaos Heavenly Blade's edge is snow‑white and clear, exuding a cold killing intent.

Yang Zhu entered the nest, facing the Saint Lord‑level Earth Emperor Worm before him; his expression showed no ripple as he raised his hand and brought the blade down with a single strike.

Boom! The Heavenly Blade, shining with divine radiance, slashed down; the void churned, as if an entire world were overturned, countless spatial fragments flying.

The Saint Lord‑level Earth Emperor Worm was instantly blown apart, turning to ash that scattered, not even a bone fragment left.

Yang Zhu stood like a deity, holding the Chaos Heavenly Blade; myriad ways submitted, and merely the natural aura he emitted could rend the void.

The Heavenly Blade veered, shooting forth a Myriad War Divine Light as vast as a divine waterfall, like a brilliant river of stars descending; in an instant it slew two more.

He turned to the last one, unleashing a palm seal condensed from law, its overwhelming pressure intertwining the Dao and principle.

At that moment, heaven and earth shattered, the Great Dao roared, everything was annihilated, as if returned to the primordial chaos, a murky expanse.

Four Saint Lord‑level Earth Emperor Worms were slain by Yang Zhu in the blink of an eye, displaying his invincible might! He began searching, and in a spacious cavern he found the Earth Emperor Essence.

"It takes over ten thousand years to condense to fist size; it seems they have been breeding here for a long time."

There were only a few pieces of Earth Emperor Essence, bluish‑green in color, translucent and crystalline, emitting a faint halo; the largest was the size of a human head, the smallest like an egg.

Yet they emanated no divine power fluctuation; even up close, no aura could be sensed.

Only upon touching them did a soft, cool breath seep into the skin, spreading through the body, bringing a wave of comfort that relaxed both flesh and soul.

After leaving the nest, Yang Zhu casually waved his hand; the power of the Great Dao surged forth like a vast waterfall, shaking the nest to dust.

Yang Zhu severed a stone wall, then traced with his finger as if cutting tofu; masses of rubble turned to ash and drifted down.

"May you rest in peace, senior."

Soon, an exquisite stone coffin was crafted; Yang Zhu placed the remains inside, then etched formation patterns, laying down a complex terrain here.

It not only shields the occupant from outside disturbance, but also creates an independent terrain that preserves the remaining vital essence, preventing its loss.

Having done all this, Yang Zhu finally departed; as he left the abyss entrance, he caused it to collapse and buried the side.

"How is it? Did you get the thing?"

The long‑waiting Big Black Dog and the two approached, eager to inquire.

"I found the Earth Emperor Essence; I'm down here…"

Yang Zhu nodded and briefly recounted his experience below.

"The Sun True Classic? That is one of the most ancient Imperial Emperor scriptures, extremely profound, a priceless treasure!"

Upon learning that Yang Zhu had obtained the complete Sun True Classic, the Big Black Dog's expression went wild, almost howling like ghosts and wolves.

"This is formed from the condensation of Earth Emperor Worms; it exerts an irresistible lure on them, and once revealed it will draw all of them here."

Yang Zhu gave each of them a piece, then took out another piece to expose, intending to lure all the Emperor Worms here and slay them all.

Otherwise this place is too vast; trying to dig out every underground Emperor Worm would be no easy task.

"I'll leave this to you."

Having said that, Yang Zhu took out the torn cloth and began to contemplate and practice.

The Sun True Classic, as one of the highest ancient Imperial Emperor scriptures, is the Sun Holy Emperor's ultimate comprehension of the Dao, possessing incomparably profound mystical principles.

Then, tens of thousands of ancient statues came to life, each turning into a radiant celestial body, shining with divine light, golden glitter, circulating scorching radiance.

Those scriptures, every stroke, are manifestations of the Dao, the supreme understanding of this world, containing the scars of the Great Dao. Yang Zhu immersed himself therein, grasping the true classic's mysteries.

Unbeknownst to him, scorching divine power coiled around his body, thread after thread, like strands of immortal divine fire.

These divine fires are a concrete manifestation of the Sun True Classic's mystic principles.

"Anyone who dares set foot within a hundred li will be killed!"

Knowing Yang Zhu was contemplating the Imperial Emperor's scripture, the Big Black Dog dared not hesitate, spewing out a black gourd and charging forth.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, you dead dog, wait for me—watch Dao Master display his might!"

Duan De, unwilling to be outdone, sacrificed his own Eight Trigrams Furnace, placing it above his head, and rushed out to fight.

The two wielded Holy Weapons; terrifying beyond compare, once activated they could easily shatter mountain ranges, rend heaven and earth—beneath saints, all are as ants, unable to resist in the slightest!

They held supreme Holy Weapons, letting loose; each strike swept wide, slaying tens of tens of them.

"Hahaha, so exhilarating!"

Duan De laughed heartily; most of the time he personally attacked, only resorting to the Holy Weapons when faced with great numbers.

"This Emperor is indeed divine and unparalleled, graceful as jade…"

With Holy Weapons in hand, the two had no reservations, enjoying the slaughter to the fullest.

They followed Yang Zhu to the outer realm, seeking to broaden their horizons and boost their strength! This star region is vast; the Emperor Worms have been breeding here for who knows how many years, their numbers beyond estimation.

They fought for half a day, each cutting down several hundred, yet many Emperor Worms still rushed madly toward them.

"Damn, why can't we finish them off? Could it be that the entire Gu Xing has been overrun by them?"

The Big Black Dog cursed; after half a day of battle, their divine power was nearly exhausted, and continuing like this would turn dire.

Otherwise they'd eventually kick the bucket! Here spiritual energy is thin, recovery speed extremely slow, to the point of being negligible.

Just then, two pillars of light shot from Yang Zhu's body into the two, instantly like a clear spring flowing through their limbs, all fatigue vanishing.

Their depleted divine power was swiftly replenished; after a few breaths they returned to peak condition, even faintly surpassing it! "Then we'll fight until they are exterminated!"

The two revived at full health, charged out again, employing various means and Shen Gong, growing stronger in battle and gaining much.

After slaughtering for a full five days, they finally wiped out all the Emperor Worms, numbering in the thousands.

The brown plain was now dyed red; the ground lay covered with corpses stretching as far as the eye could see, piled thick.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Dao Master, this is the first time I've felt so refreshed from killing."

Their faces flushed, spirits clear and refreshed; over the five days, whenever their divine power waned, Yang Zhu would instantly restore them to peak condition—it was simply exhilarating to slaughter! "Since everything's settled, let's go wander elsewhere."

They knew that with Yang Zhu's strength, his time to comprehend the Dao would not be short; after laying formation patterns around him, they began to search this Gu Xing.

"The ancient emperors all would refer to and contemplate; indeed there is reason in that."

At this moment, Yang Zhu's mind was serene and ethereal; the ancient characters, resembling radiant celestial bodies, he perceived one by one, grasping the supreme divine mystery within.

He simultaneously comprehended the Scripture of No Beginning, the Western Emperor Scripture, the Indestructible Heavenly Skill, and the True Scripture of the Sun, his understanding of the Dao deepened further, and he gained many insights of his own.

In a vague sense, he felt the bearing and demeanor of those invincible figures of the same era when they created the Scripture of the Supreme Emperor……
