Chapter 239: Great Accomplishment Holy Body's Magnanimity
(Written hastily, typos will be corrected when there's time.)
However, the prestige of the Ancient Holy Body far surpasses that of the Vast Heaven Tyrant Body; except for a very few people, most have never heard of this physique.
Actually, the Vast Heaven Tyrant Body is indeed inferior to the Holy Body; in terms of physique, prestige, combat power, and breadth of mind, the latter is superior.
The battle in Yang Zhu's mind continued, shattering heaven and earth! There were no fancy flourishes, only the purest techniques.
Their flesh collided, each impact making heaven and earth tremble, on the verge of collapse; as fellow Great Accomplishment powerhouses, none believed their own physique would be weaker than the opponent's.
After only a few dozen rounds, that Great Accomplishment Holy Body tore the opponent in half!
The Vast Heaven Tyrant Body's blood sprayed, extinguishing vast stretches of stars; until his dying moment, he glared at the opponent with unwilling and gloomy eyes.
"They had long since forged a grudge, thus they would fight to the death."
Witnessing this earth-shaking battle, Yang Zhu also came to understand some of the reasons; all his doubts finally had an answer.
The Great Accomplishment Holy Body and the Vast Heaven Tyrant Body, from the very start of their cultivation, due to their physiques, repeatedly engaged in life-and-death battles.
At that time they were evenly matched, unable to decide victory; who would have thought that after becoming a Holy Body, the Vast Heaven Tyrant Body passed by a certain Great Accomplishment Holy Body's ancestral land, and in a fit of rage slaughtered three thousand people.
Therefore, to commemorate his predecessors, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, after slaying him, severed his head and turned it into a planet.
Moreover, there is another important reason: in the later years of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, an ominous event had already occurred, fearing it would affect descendants, he brought them here.
"Great Accomplishment Holy Body, each one is an unsurpassed powerhouse! Alas……"
After hearing Yang Zhu's rough introduction, Duan De was also greatly impressed, yet carried a hint of sorrow.
A peerless powerhouse who once guarded all humanity ultimately died miserably beneath the Holy Cliff, causing endless sighs.
"The Holy Body bloodline is hard to inherit; even if inherited, it grows ever thinner, and with the current changes in heaven and earth, though one may appear with difficulty, they cannot cultivate."
The Big Black Dog spoke of another reason for this place's growing desolation.
"The descendants of the Holy Body that once protected all humanity should not be like this."
Yang Zhu decided to do something, not seeking to make this place exceedingly strong, but at least able to cultivate normally like other places.
"Great Accomplishment Holy Body……"
By his side, the Jade Pond Holy Maiden's pupils dimmed, as if recalling something, she gazed at Yang Zhu, but ultimately said nothing.
"Once I attain Great Accomplishment, I will surely destroy the Underworld."
Yang Zhu naturally knew what the other wanted to say, merely smiling faintly.
Calculating the time, the Underworld that has hidden for tens of thousands of years is about to stir; once they emerge, they will surely suffer Yang Zhu's fierce overthrow.
"Kill him, wipe them out to avenge the Emperor's parents!"
Speaking of this, the Big Black Dog became highly excited; thinking of how the Primordial Great Emperor's holy parents both perished due to the Underworld's curse, he felt a burning hatred.
Needless to say his feelings toward the Primordial Great Emperor; anyone who is not on good terms with him, he finds displeasing.
He wished he could smash the opponent to death with a single big paw!
"Senior, do you want to come out?"
The Dao-Comprehending Coffin throbbed ever more intensely; the corpse of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, as if affected, in his withered sea of suffering actually had a trickle of golden divine power surge forth.
After a moment's thought, Yang Zhu nodded heavily; this is their ancestral star, and if not influenced by evil thoughts, given the Great Accomplishment Holy Body's bearing, he would certainly not do anything.
"Buzz——"
The coffin lightly trembled, the sealing scriptures on it lighting up one by one, appearing seamless, as if it were a single divine coffin, opening layer by layer.
"Boom!" A terrifying aura burst forth, holy might spreading, vast as a star sea, spreading out, impossible to resist!
A robust, divine-might corpse rose from the coffin; despite having died for endless ages, it had become powerful enough to make one's heart race.
During the time sealed within the Dao-Comprehending Ancient Coffin, the Primordial Forbidden Scripture and the Salvation Scripture constantly purified him.
His terrifying green hair that had grown was completely cut off, yet the curses and omens within his body remained hard to dispel.
"If it weren't for the heavenly restriction preventing the Ancient Holy Body from becoming an emperor, it would surely be an extraordinary existence!"
The Big Black Dog exclaimed, upon seeing the Great Accomplishment Holy Body again, not fearful as when first encountering it on the Holy Cliff, but rather very excited.
He knew that since Yang Zhu had brought forth the Great Accomplishment Holy Body's corpse, there must be a profound purpose; otherwise there would be no need to take such a great risk.
"I've returned, finally returned……"
The Great Accomplishment Holy Body opened his eyes; his vacant pupils now gained a trace of consciousness, he scanned the surroundings, his emotions greatly stirred.
The long withered Immortal Platform now also had traces of light flowing, only faint threads, yet unusually dazzling, emitting an immortal, scorching radiance.
He fixed his gaze on Yang Zhu, feeling grateful; never expecting that after falling for years, he could still return to his ancestral star, his emotion indescribable.
"Tha…… thank you for bringing me back……"
Perhaps due to not speaking for too long, his tone was somewhat stiff, but his dignity remained, not losing his former bearing.
"Senior, if you wish to stay here, I will bury you in this place."
Just thinking that the opponent was ambushed and killed in his later years by the Undying Daoist, Yang Zhu could not help but be moved.
If he could be buried on the Ancestral Star he himself founded, perhaps that would be his wish.
"No…… possible, that…… would inevitably be hard to suppress…… speaking of which, I still…… need to thank the Primordial Great Emperor for suppressing me, otherwise I would surely bring calamity upon the world……"
His words came in fragments, each sentence seeming to drain all his strength.
"Alas!"
Upon hearing this, the Big Black Dog let out a sigh, never expecting the Great Accomplishment Holy Body to have such breadth of mind and courage.
Having been suppressed for over ten thousand years, he harbored no resentment, instead thanking the Primordial Great Emperor for preventing him from going out to cause disaster; otherwise the outcome is easy to imagine.
"Then what does the senior wish?" Yang Zhu asked again.
This time, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body said nothing more; a brilliant divine light flashed at his brow, instantly sinking into Yang Zhu's Immortal Platform.
The next moment, countless profound Dao patterns appeared; after Yang Zhu's brief preview, he discovered it was a secret technique! Once mastered, one could control the Holy Body and its corpse, usable for combat and such.
Of course, there is a prerequisite: one must be an Ancient Holy Body, or possess this bloodline, to cultivate and master it.
Yang Zhu sat cross-legged in place, carefully contemplating and pondering; the especially special Ancient Holy Body, arising from the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, naturally holds endless mysteries.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed; after grasping it, Yang Zhu continually evolved, comprehending other profound truths, benefiting greatly.
During this period, the Great Accomplished Holy Body stood still in place, surveying everything around, only moving after a long while.
"It's time to go..."
Having completed the transmission of the Dharma, the Great Accomplished Holy Body reluctantly took one last look, then returned to the Enlightenment Ancient Coffin and resealed it.
