Chapter 323

Stone Sword's ferocious might overwhelms the world, just like the Holy Spirit, both born from a single divine fetus, almost part of his body, its power imaginable, capable of cleaving the heavens.

And the Chaotic Azure Lotus is no ordinary object, unknown what material it was forged from, translucent and exquisite, rising with a dreamlike immortal radiance.

What is shocking is that this Perfected Chaotic Body, though not yet proven the Dao, faintly reveals Imperial Dao Divine Principles on its azure lotus, as if it could at any moment incarnate as an Unparalleled Imperial Weapon!

"Hum!"

The two weapons collide; at this moment, the world's will roars, the Six Paths collapse, the cosmic order of heaven and earth seems inverted, no longer stable.

The Stone Dagger trembles, billions of killing intents burst forth, shattering myriad stars, the Great Dao collapses, its might terrifying to the extreme.

The Azure Lotus and Chaos entwine, as if eternal from ancient times, indestructible, no worldly law can bind it, throughout ages it can cut through everything.

Chaotic mist cascades like a heavenly river; a single strike can sweep clean a star field, its might unimaginable, nearly capable of opening heaven and earth.

"Bang!"

As if returning to the moment heaven and earth were first opened, everything swallowed, terrifyingly, though the Stone Dagger is an Ancient Emperor's Weapon, it was blown away by the Azure Lotus!

"Thud thud thud..."

The Ancient Supreme retreats backward a few steps; each time his foot lands, vast void shatters behind him, forming many boundless abysses, the terrifying scene unceasing.

"Holy Spirit, that's all."

The woman's clear bright eyes show a kind of disdain and contempt, not an act but a natural expression.

From instinct, from bloodline! As the sound faded, she spoke no more, absolutely invincible, her bearing limitless, she reached out to seize the myriad laws filling the sky, emitting a power to transform the Dao, pressing down.

Though she is merely a Perfected One, the invincible bearing in her eyes is not inferior to that of ancient emperors in the slightest.

"Arrogant!"

The Ancient Supreme roared, likewise seizing a fragment of Holy Spirit Patterns, condensing it into the most terrifying assault, bearing heaven-shaking might, he launched it! Though he said so, he deeply knew the Chaotic Body is a supreme bloodline not inferior to the Holy Spirit in the slightest; even without self‑severing, he dare not claim full confidence.

But he was ultimately once an Imperial Dao Adept; his invincible belief etched into his soul, so he never thought of retreating, his moves wide open, shattering heaven and earth! "Boom!"

The collision of two supreme mighty formation patterns is not only a contest between the two combatants, but also a clash of two peak bloodlines.

Various lights and laws dance, the universe torn open by countless great rifts, the power of time surges, linking to an unknown age.

"Pfft..."

After the miraculous visions subsided, the Ancient Supreme was flung backward tens of thousands of feet, imperial blood spraying, half his body shattered, nearly exploding.

"Good heavens, that was once an Ancient Emperor—is the Chaotic Body truly this invincible?"

Everyone trembled; seeing the Perfected Chaotic Body act for the first time, it was indeed as stunning as rumored, an almost monstrous existence.

"He is no longer the former Ancient Emperor; ever since he entered the God's Ruins, he has been ignored."

Yet someone in the crowd shook his head, weak and weary, his wrinkled face sagging, yet his eyes shone brightly.

Just as people wondered who could speak thus, following the sound they found it was Gai Jiuyou himself, and at once fell silent, lost in thought.

"I too have clashed with the Perfected Holy Body; I cannot deny, you are indeed stronger than him."

Although the Ancient Supreme's tone remained cold, he had lost his former disdain, for the one standing before him was nearly of equal standing.

Not like the countless common folk before; in his eyes, even if billions came, a single finger could annihilate them.

Merely compared to before, his aura had waned greatly; he had not waited for the Immortals' Path to open, prematurely breaking free, his life essence nearly exhausted.

"Hum..."

The woman remained silent, her expression indifferent, showing no ripple; she lifted her delicate jade palm, a slight tremor, forbidden symbols surfaced, and she struck out again.

Their laws collided again, as if opening heaven and earth, supremely mighty; unknown how many meteors and Gu Xing, upon contact with the aftermath, turned to nothing.

After several dozen rounds, the victor gradually became clear; the primeval supreme was drenched in blood, his wounds horrifying, his body covered in gore, and even the primeval emperor's armaments were about to shatter.

In contrast, that woman stood aloof and alone, her figure tall and slender, her beautiful hair fluttering, still unstained by a speck of dust.

Around her, chaos swirled misty, the breath of ages flowing, invincible, nothing could harm her in the slightest.

"This is absolutely a true Great Accomplishment Chaos Body, its qi and blood have reached the pinnacle…… it may not be far from proving the Dao."

In the Primeval Ancient Mine, someone said this, and all who heard were shocked.

Not far from proving the Dao? How terrifying that is; if it came from anyone else's mouth, it would surely be sheer fantasy.

But these words come from the Life Forbidden Zone; nowadays people can already guess that the beings inside very likely include existences of emperor-level.

Then its credibility is anything but ordinary!

"Boom!"

This time, the woman unleashed her most terrifying killing technique; the Chaotic Azure Lotus slowly unfurled, shooting out a beam of colorful immortal light.

The immortal light pierced the entire universe, illuminating eternity and shining upon all heavens, reaching the utmost horror, containing the power to slay immortals and transform the Dao, crushing the withered and snapping the rotten; even if a god came, they would surely have to drink hatred, indeed they would have to drink hatred.

"Crack crack crack… Bang!"

This time, the primeval supreme could no longer resist; he didn't even have time to reach ultimate sublimation before the immortal light struck, his invincible body instantly disintegrating, numerous cracks appearing.

The remnant life essence within his body was gradually breaking down and being consumed, his aura visibly deteriorating by leaps and bounds.

The Holy Spirit knew the situation was settled, realizing that even if he pushed his sublimation to the limit in a bloody battle, he could hardly defeat a Great Accomplishment Chaos Body.

"Hahaha……"

Yet he felt no fear, laughing wildly; his voice spread throughout the heavens, causing countless Holy Spirits to tremble, their hearts gripped with terror.

"Bang!"

Finally, he fell, under the incredulous gaze of all; a former master of the emperor's way exploded into a brilliant rain of light.

His Dao and his law were imprinted into the Grand Dao's principles, becoming part of them.

"Supreme of the Forbidden Zone……has been slain!"

In an instant, the universe trembled; the six directions and eight wildernesses, the nine heavens and ten earths boiled, an uproar! This is too unbelievable—a former ancient emperor, or even a Dao‑proving Holy Spirit, was just slain by a Great Accomplishment Chaos Body, as if in a dream, leaving everyone dazed.

"A Great Accomplishment Chaos Body certainly has the qualification to slay an ancient great emperor!"

The world was in an uproar; originally it was thought that before proving the Dao, a Great Accomplishment Holy Body was already invincible, but having personally witnessed this battle, hearts were greatly shaken.

"Boom—!"

As everyone's emotions surged, heaven and earth underwent a drastic change; terrifying runes appeared thickly above and below, each one astonishing through the ages.

Those runes were too terrifying, filling every corner of the universe with an imperial might that spread, suppressing the nine heavens and ten realms, intimidating all heavens and myriad worlds.

"This is the Imperial Dao principle... she actually intends to attain the Dao?"

In the Primordial Ancient Mine, another vicissitudinous voice sounded, no longer calm, with a hint of surprise.

They had once been the masters of heaven and earth, overlooking the vast universe; they were all too familiar with such fluctuations! "If I wished, I could have taken that step tens of thousands of years ago, not now."

Yet, under the shocked gazes of the world, the woman raised a hand; a single palm shattered the heaven-covering sea of divine laws, scattering the chance to take that step! She turned, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal realm, uniquely proud in the world, tall and slender, with peerless grace.

As he overlooked the several great life-restricted zones, his clear, water-like eyes were calm without a ripple, yet carried a warning.

"..." At that moment, the several great life-restricted zones fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

A perfected Chaos Body can take that step at any moment, attaining the Dao in place.

This is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying matter; once she breaks through that threshold, she could very well become an existence as powerful as Wushi!

(Life-restricted zone: I have the password!) Finally, the woman's terrifying aura retracted; she stepped down from the nine heavens and arrived before Yaochi.

"Mother!"

Yang Zhu was delighted, quickly stepping forward, his expression agitated beyond measure.

"Thump-thump!"

The thumping sound continued unabated; for a moment everyone bowed down, utterly devout, their hearts filled with the utmost reverence.

They bowed in reverence, not only to the perfected Chaos Body but also to the Empress of Wushi the Great Emperor.

"You've grown up; you now match his former bearing."

Only when facing Yang Zhu did her eyes reveal a softness; her slender jade finger lightly brushed his cheek, her voice very soft.

Her eyes were somewhat hazy, as if through Yang Zhu she saw that person's silhouette, with myriad thoughts surging in her heart.

Yang Zhu merely smiled; after tens of thousands of years apart, seeing his close kin again, how could he remain calm?

"The Yaochi Saintess? Not bad."

Immediately the woman looked at the Yaochi Saintess, sized her up for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I..."

For a moment, the Yaochi Saintess's face flushed with a rosy hue, her ears bright red, rarely showing a shy expression, becoming even more charming.

Her heart pounded violently; seeing Yang Zhu's close kin for the first time, to say she wasn't nervous would be a lie!

"You're just the pup the emperor brought back in his later years, right..."

The woman then glanced at the Black Emperor, not knowing what she recalled, a hint of smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe, returning to the empress, it's me..."

The big black dog, no longer greedy and lewd, grinned with narrowed eyes, its mouth corners stretching to the base of its ears, looking rather cute, appearing harmless.

His excitement and agitation on his face could not be restrained; his eyes even grew a little moist.

The Holy Prince and Ji Zi beside him, at this moment all remained silent, quietly gazing up at the woman, feeling reverence from the heart.

"If so, then let the great wedding continue..."

Thereafter she spoke softly, and Yaochi quickly returned to its former bustle; the myriad tribes' saints finally could relax, cups clinking as they drank and conversed.

Now, with a supreme existence rivaling the ancient great emperors exerting its deterrence, even ancient supremes have been slain; who would dare come here to cause trouble?

"Haha, Brother Yang, the poor Daoist has arrived!"

Soon after, a Daoist hurried from beyond the realm, red light filling the sky, wearing a splendid Daoist robe adorned with various treasures.

"Not bad, it's the degenerate Daoist—Duande! 'Infinite Heavenly Venerable, just now I almost thought an ancient great emperor had been born; it was merely a ripple, almost shaking me to death.'"

Duande wiped away cold sweat; having just emerged, he saw the imperial battle and nearly pissed himself, were it not for the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill on him, he might have already kicked his legs.

"Daoist, please come inside."

Yang Zhu smiled; he hadn't expected Duande to really come keep the appointment, but he also knew this was merely an incarnation, his true body still continuing to "bury."

Even so, it was enough, for this Daoist incarnation is virtually identical to his true body.

"Congratulations, Yaochi younger sister."

Fire Qilin Boy, Shaking Light Saintess, Yi Qingwu, and others stepped forward, offering the most sincere blessings to the two.

"You rascal, you actually came late; you should first down three big cups!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll drink as the Daoist Master says..."

On the other side, not long after Duande arrived, he was seized by the Black Emperor and Ye Fan, etc., and then they gulped down various fine spirits.

"Hey! Dead dog, don't snatch my treasures while the Daoist Master is drinking heavily!"

At that moment, Duande noticed the sneaky Black Emperor behind him, its big black paw stealthily moving, wanting to borrow a purple-gold divine lock.

"Nonsense! This emperor is absolutely filthy; I just wanted to help you clean up, don't frame me!"

The Black Emperor patted his chest, solemnly vowing, his face not flushed, his heart not racing.

"Get lost, Daoist Master knows you too well; you're still that dragon horse, stop always eyeing my waist's treasure gourd..."

Angered, Duande leapt several meters high, his plump white hands tightly gripping his treasure, staring at the Black Emperor like a guard against thieves.

Immediately, he also eyed the dragon horse warily, knowing it too was no easy mark.

"Hahaha... these three fellows are all top-notch!"

Seeing this, everyone laughed; these three are all top-notch, having them together, how could they possibly be so easily at peace?

"Congratulations, Yaochi elder sister; may you form a good bond."

An Miaoyi naturally came as well; although she smiled, the loneliness in her eyes could not be concealed.

"Sigh..."

The Shaking Light Saintess sighed, stepped forward and took An Miaoyi's arm, not knowing what to say, merely staying quietly by her side.

"One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the parents..."

Finally, the wedding proceeded smoothly, everyone drank and chatted happily, drinking to their heart's content.

It was a splendid night, the bright moon shining, stars twinkling; inside the bridal chamber, candles blazed, filling it with warmth.

By the bedside sat a peerless beauty, graceful and slender, wearing a red veil.

Yang Zhu pushed the door open, gazed at that graceful figure, and quickly walked over.

His hand lifting the red veil paused, he froze for a moment; this lift would be for a lifetime, a single life, a pair of beloved companions.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Zhu finally lifted the red veil, instantly revealing a lovely face, possessing the beauty that makes fish sink and geese fall, the grace that hides the moon and shames flowers.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi had a rosy complexion, bright red lips, a hint of shy smile; every frown and smile radiated myriad charms.

Naturally, a woman is most beautiful at this moment, and it is one of the most moving moments in a lifetime.

The two locked eyes, both revealing genuine feeling, sincere and ardent, affection enduring.

"Yue'er, the night is late, it's time to rest."

"Okay..."

This night was warm and splendid, unforgettable; no matter how many years pass, it cannot be forgotten, forever etched in each other's hearts, becoming the most precious memory.
