Chapter 244

Yang Zhu sat down in the void, adjusted his state, and brought out the corpse of the Great Achievement Holy Body.

Boom—

Slay Immortal Formation Diagram trembled, extreme Dao ripples spread across this world, the entire space was like torn cloth, about to collapse at any moment, shattering into countless fragments.

Crack!

Four Slay Immortal Emperor Swords moved, arranged according to a specific position, and immediately resonated with the formation diagram.

Great Emperor Formation Diagram appeared, covering the entire bitter sea, sealing this heaven and earth; within it, killing intent loomed, anything could be obliterated, space throbbed.

Even if a sage came, they could not withstand a casual strike; under the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, the six directions and eight wilderness could be cut! In no time, the corpse of the Great Achievement Holy Body reacted, countless black eerie symbols surged from within it.

A wave of calamity and ominous aura surged like a pouring flood, vast and boundless; whatever it touched would forever be shrouded in ominousness.

Black eerie symbols were everywhere, even covering the corpse of the Great Achievement Holy Body; at this point he looked like a black corpse.

Meanwhile, among the surging black symbols, countless crystalline black threads interconnected, layered and stacked, forming a whole.

A peerless killing intent slashed out, only severing a few hundred black threads; know that such threads number in the millions, endless! "Indeed troublesome."

Yang Zhu's expression was solemn, not distracted in the slightest; this curse accompanies every holy body, even after great achievement it cannot be resisted, its terror imaginable.

However, he was not overly worried, after all this was just an attempt; if it truly fails, we can try again later.

Under Yang Zhu's control, the Slay Immortal Formation Diagram activated a more terrifying Great Emperor killing move, all striking at the eerie symbols and black threads.

Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot spewed starlight, tearing open a ten-thousand-zhang huge mouth, constantly swallowing and exhaling cosmic essence, finally transforming into immortal power, injected into Yang Zhu's body.

Meanwhile, the Golden War Spear, together with the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, blazed with ten-thousand-zhang divine radiance, thrusting toward the source of the holy body's ominousness.

Perhaps sensing the "familiar" aura, without Yang Zhu's prompting, the deity within the Golden War Spear revived on its own, launching a fiercer assault.

Its master, fallen due to the holy body's ominousness, naturally harbored a deep hatred for this aura and curse as an imperial weapon.

Extreme Dao Emperor's might came one after another, not only to help Yang Zhu cut the eerie symbols, but also to vent his own anger.

"I don't believe it can't be cut; if a few months don't work, then a few years!"

Yang Zhu, like the Golden War Spear, was cutting the ominous source while also seeking a way to revive his parents.

It was a shocking sight: three imperial weapons working together, continuously unleashing Extreme Dao Emperor's might, slicing the eerie symbols bit by bit.

This place was shielded from aura; those eerie auras had no means to replenish or escape, only able to be worn away slowly...

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

During this time, Yang Zhu never stopped; with the Heaven Swallowing Magic Pot, his own physique, and the Zhe Zi Mi secret working together, his divine power was not depleted.

After such prolonged effort, the eerie symbols inside the Great Achievement Holy Body's corpse were completely worn away; at this moment the Great Achievement Holy Body had no trace of ominous aura.

"No good, once we leave this place the curse will quickly return."

What Yang Zhu found troublesome was that although the current ominousness had been cut away by the three imperial weapons of the Slay Immortal Sword Formation,

once leaving this place, without the imperial weapons and the Heavenly Venerable's Bitter Sea shielding the aura, the curse would quickly rebound, rendering all efforts futile.

Suddenly, the stone disk within Yang Zhu emerged, the Wushi formation patterns revived, not displaying peerless killing intent but opening a brilliant gate of light.

The light gate was blindingly radiant, flashing with crystalline luster, covered in the most intricate patterns; surrounding chaotic essence swirled, myriad auspicious signs descended, vast and holy.

Spatial power flowed continuously, as if the river of time were passing, wondrous and abnormal; then a crystalline hand reached out! "Boom—"

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled, the Great Dao roared, countless galaxies fell, submitting beneath the hand's Dao patterns.

"Father!"

Yang Zhu's heart surged, unable to calm; the fluctuation emanating from within the Gate of Light was all too familiar to him, identical to his own primal aura.

Not bad, that person is indeed his father, the Beginningless Great Emperor!

The Beginningless Great Emperor traced with his finger, a "seal" character gradually appeared, imperial might pervading, possessing endless Dao principles, capable of suppressing everything in the world! Then he pointed his fingertip, and the "seal" character struck into the corpse of the Great Achievement Holy Body, forming the most unbreakable shackles.

Even if another Great Emperor existed in the world, they could not easily erase it! "Little Zhu, well done."

A dignified yet gentle voice penetrated the chaotic void and the river of time, speaking; after it finished, the Gate of Light trembled, then slowly closed.

Yang Zhu nodded, saying nothing more, merely silently watching his father's hand withdraw; as the Gate of Light closed, it vanished completely.

Yang Zhu knew that for his father to take action now was no easy matter; in the foreign world where he resided, even a Great Emperor could not come and go freely.

"Father, wait for me."

After standing in place for a long while, Yang Zhu finally managed to slowly calm his emotions, becoming composed once more, his heart at peace.

He looked at the corpse of the Great Achievement Holy Body, after cutting away the ominous aura, with his father's seal etched upon it, he was finally assured.

Over the past half year, Yang Zhu's command of imperial weapons has become ever more proficient; he has nearly fully grasped the secret of the Soldier character.

From this he also gained considerable insight; his divine power and primordial spirit remained in peak condition, and his cultivation saw a notable increase.

Having succeeded from the first step of Immortal Second, he ascended to the third stage! After gathering everything, Yang Zhu then entered the Eight Scenes Palace.

The Jade Pool Holy Maiden resembled a celestial maiden of the nine heavens, standing alone in an ancient hall brimming with Daoic rhythm; sensing something, her beautiful eyes gazed toward a certain direction.

"You've come……"

Upon seeing Yang Zhu, her beautiful eyes smiled, her crystal‑like jade finger twirling a strand of black hair, exuding myriad charms.

"I've kept you waiting again for a long while."

Yang Zhu stepped forward, embracing the peerless beauty before him, and spoke softly.

Feeling the waves of fragrant scent wafting to his nose, Yang Zhu's emotions calmed, his whole body relaxed.

"You know, I am willing to wait."

The Jade Pool Holy Maiden's pretty face blushed slightly, her slender jade arms encircling Yang Zhu, she leaned lightly against his broad chest.

(Damn…… can't write, fuck!)

"Where are Xiao Hei and the others?"

"They each left seclusion two months ago, all successfully breaking through to the Immortal Terrace; now they might be studying something somewhere."

This way, the lowest cultivator among their group is already an Immortal First‑level expert, which also lets Yang Zhu worry a bit less.

After all, given the nature of those two rascals, no matter where they go, if they don't stir up some big trouble, they always feel uneasy…
