Chapter 332: with translation of chapter title

"Those who have not attained the Dao, no matter who they are, are still like ants before us; a single finger can exterminate them."

Although the Lord of Reincarnation was covered in blood, his tone remained cold and ruthless, and in his stern eyes lay the invincible belief unique to ancient supremes.

"To suppress you, why would my father need to act himself?"

As the sound fell, Yang Zhu flicked his sleeve, and a stone disc flew out, rapidly expanding to several zhang wide in everyone's sight.

"Boom!"

Heaven and earth rumbled, the void collapsed, a terrifying aura permeated, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths, as all the heavenly Dao trembled!

In everyone's shocked gaze, the Great Emperor Killing Formation slowly revived, taboo symbols poured down like an ocean, covering the heavens and earth, enveloping this universe.

"The flawless Wushi Killing Formation!"

Several supremes were moved; at a glance they saw this was the flawless Great Emperor Killing Formation, instantly activated to its extreme! Originating from Wushi's hand, and being complete and flawless, even if they recovered their former peaks they would still be wary; now, having self-inflicted a wound and suffering serious injury, how could they cope? When the Wushi Killing Formation fully revived, heaven and earth were entirely covered by the Great Emperor's patterns, every stroke and line being the ultimate pinnacle of the Dao, terrifying beyond compare.

"Boom!"

As Yang Zhu pressed down his palm, the Wushi Killing Formation emitted a tremendous rumbling roar.

Immediately, myriad strands of Great Emperor killing intent descended, splitting the nine heavens, dividing chaos, and the three thousand ancient realms were destroyed, ceasing to exist.

"Well done, decisive!"

Several supremes originally wanted to avoid its edge, but the formation's range was too vast, and in an instant it was driven to the extreme, locking onto them; left with no choice, they had to confront it head-on!

Pfft! Imperial blood sprayed across nine thousand zhang; the Lord of Reincarnation bore the brunt, being strangled by the Imperial Dao Divine Principles, gaining dozens of terrifying wounds on his body, his flesh and blood blurred.

He retreated hundreds of steps, coughing up blood in large gulps; his immortal body was nearly torn apart, and with each step he took, vast star fields behind him collapsed and turned to ash.

Just a single encounter left him severely wounded! If not for the critical moment when the lord of his brow emitted a divine light, a small sea of reincarnation surfaced, protecting his immortal platform; otherwise even his primordial spirit would have been gravely injured.

Wushi the Great Emperor's strength already far surpassed that of ordinary ancient emperors and great emperors; thus the killing formation he left behind is naturally extremely terrifying.

Even ancient supremes, if inattentive, risk falling! "Hum!"

The stone disc trembled slightly; Wushi's authority shook the universe, the cosmic void collapsed greatly, everything ceased to exist, destroying the dry and rotting, nothing indestructible.

"Rumble!"

The formation was activated again, blasting toward the Stone Emperor; this strike was too terrifying, even time was cut off, a forbidden power surged, emanating the power to transform the Dao.

"Wushi!"

The Stone Emperor roared, brandishing the Wild Heaven Halberd, as if a portion of time were being cut down; black light burst forth, revealing countless abysses extending to the edge of the universe.

The black halberd horizontally struck the killing intent pouring down! Even as mighty as the Stone Emperor, facing the Wushi Killing Formation made his heart tremble.

"Bang!"

This is an extremely shocking scene: the Stone Emperor resisting the Wushi Killing Formation head-on, his black halberd ringing loudly, while the surrounding Dao laws danced and collapsed entirely.

After only a brief moment, his arm gripping the halberd went numb, and even the black halberd's shaft showed many fine cracks.

"Pfft!"

Yin and yang inverted, the five elements reversed, the six paths of reincarnation shattered; in a blaze of light so splendid it reached the extreme, the Stone Emperor was hurled sideways dozens of li, his chest torn open by a horrifying wound, blood flowing incessantly! "You damned Wushi!"

He was covered in blood, also suffering considerable injury, his face grim to the extreme, as holy spirit blood dripped from the halberd's gap, a shocking sight.

The remaining four were also covered by the formation, each suffering considerable injury, their faces ferocious and eerily cold.

Moreover, to resist the bombardment of the Imperial Dao laws, they had no choice but to ignite their essence blood, and the Dao markings on their immortal platforms rapidly expanded……

"This is the complete Great Emperor Killing Formation……"

Seeing this, all beings in the universe vaguely felt admiration; the Great Emperor Killing Formation is too terrifying, no different from Wushi the Great Emperor suppressing them with a single hand!

Throughout ancient and modern times, how many could witness the flawless Great Emperor Killing Formation reviving, and moreover, by the hand of Wushi the Great Emperor?!

"Today we will surely kill you!"

Several supremes flew into a rage, almost howling, as they exerted all their strength to decipher the formation; with every step they took, the blood of slain supremes spattered, a shocking sight! Yet they dared not delay, for Wushi's methods were too terrifying; if they could not break out, they would likely be trapped here to death, until their life essence was exhausted.

"I said it, today I will surely suppress you all!"

Yang Zhu's forehead flashed with immortal light, imperial aura pervading, a corpse wrapped in immortal light appeared, lying across this starry expanse.

It was a man, his stature divine and majestic, his heroic bearing unmatched; merely lying there, even a wisp of his exhaled aura could collapse myriad ages.

Even after having dissolved into endless ages, he still resembled a deity, possessing an inviolable dignity that could cause all the myriad races of the universe to prostrate in worship!

"This aura…… could it be the Lingbao Heavenly Lord?!"

The Lord of Reincarnation was moved, his expression drastically changing; at their level, that person's strength far surpasses what ordinary people could aspire to.

The nine heavenly lords are all astonishingly talented and extraordinarily outstanding, each being the absolute pinnacle of a particular Dao realm, unfathomably deep!

And the Lingbao Heavenly Lord's battle strength is absolutely foremost among the nine heavenly lords; his Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is even rumored to be able to slay even "immortals"! "Hum"

Yang Zhu's brow glowed with immortal light, producing a certain special connection with the Lingbao Heavenly Lord's imperial corpse.

Afterward, in the incredulous eyes of all myriad creatures, Yang Zhu's entire being merged with the Lingbao Heavenly Lord into one.

"Boom!"

"Lingbao Heavenly Lord" suddenly opened his eyes; at this moment the Heavenly Lord's authority swept across the three thousand realms, the cosmic void collapsed, the six directions and eight wildernesses, the nine heavens and ten earths all trembled! It seemed as if a true Heavenly Lord of a mythic age had truly been resurrected.

That aura of ruling over all under heaven, being the sole supreme, made all beings kneel again, with utmost devotion!

"How could this be possible!"

Several supremes were moved; Yang Zhu's primordial spirit is so powerful, astonishingly capable of commanding the imperial corpse of an ancient heavenly lord, and moreover, one famed for slaughter—the Lingbao Heavenly Lord!

"……"

The Taichu Ancient Mine fell into a deathlike silence; the supremes hidden within dared not make a sound.

Those supremes yet to be born believed that this era's path to immortality opening was merely a deceit, so they have endured until now, not breaking open the immortal source to emerge.

Moreover, there is another reason: Yang Zhu's birth; given their understanding of that person, the cause and effect involved are far beyond what ordinary people could perceive.

"Wushi, oh Wushi, you truly give no way to live……"

A supreme sighed helplessly, and afterward the ancient mine returned to silence.

"Is this the Yuan Zun then……"

Yang Zhu merged with Lingbao Tianzun, feeling an unprecedented power; without any movement, he could reign over the world and suppress everything.

"Kill formation, arise!" He flicked his hand, and the four immortal swords he had prepared long ago rose from the void, instantly fully restored.

A brilliant scroll unfurled across the sky, immortal light shining upon the ancient firmament, blinding those who beheld it, impossible to gaze upon.

The scroll trembled, shattering vast expanses of void, then slowly sank into Yang Zhu's glabella.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz!"

In the next instant, the Slay Immortal Sword Formation fully revived, shattering the Milky Way, heaven collapsing and earth splitting, killing intent overwhelming the ages—even an Ancient Supreme would pale at the news.

"Finding the corpse of Lingbao Tianzun's emperor is one thing, but how is the Slay Immortal Sword Formation also in your hands?!"

The Supreme of Light and Darkness roared, "What difference is there between this and Lingbao Tianzun personally overseeing the Slay Immortal Sword Formation? Even a god would fall if they came."

At this moment, his heart turned cold halfway; just the Primordial Killing Formation and the Slay Immortal Sword Formation were enough to make him wary, let alone Lingbao Tianzun eyeing him like a tiger. "Decades ago I received the sovereign's inheritance; the Slay Immortal Sword Formation long ago acknowledged me as master, so it is naturally in my hands."

Yang Zhu took a step, shifting the stars and moving the constellations, instantly appearing before the Supreme of Light and Darkness, raising a palm to press down.

What seemed a casual palm was terrifying beyond measure, imperial Dao laws dancing, sealing heaven and earth, binding immortals and locking gods, causing the opponent's soul to flee; moreover, the Slay Immortal Sword Formation surged with killing intent, Yang Zhu acting as the formation's eye—wherever he went, the formation followed. "I fear no one!"

The Supreme of Light and Darkness bellowed in rage, raising his hand; instantly the ancient emperor's pressure swept forth, condensing into myriad divine chains of order that struck out together.

"Bang!"

Yet Yang Zhu at this moment was terrifying beyond compare, capable of shattering anything, withering the sturdy and snapping the rotten.

One palm shattered all the divine chains, striking the opponent's body and making him tremble all over, blood spraying.

"Ah!"

The Supreme of Light and Darkness screamed, his arm spasming, blood pouring, crushed outright.

At the same moment, a crimson immortal sword appeared, pointing straight at his forehead to deliver a killing blow; the Supreme of Light and Darkness tried to withdraw, but found himself tightly bound by the Primordial Killing Formation and the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, stuck like in a mire, unable to move.

"Pfft!" A shocking spray of crimson blood, the Supreme of Light and Darkness's brow pierced by the immortal sword, leaving a front-to-back translucent blood hole, horrifying to the extreme, making onlookers' flesh creep.

Know that this is an Ancient Supreme, how mighty he once was, yet now he suffers such grievous injury.

"You've forced me to this!"

The Supreme of Light and Darkness's face turned ferocious; a roar shattered millions of miles of starry river, his immortal platform under this blow covered in tears, already beyond repair.

In other words, regardless of the battle's outcome, he can no longer seal his immortal source; he can only await the gradual exhaustion of his life force, then dissipate into the Dao.

As a dormant Ancient Supreme, what he least wishes to see is death; one can imagine how furious he is now.

"Clinging to a miserable existence, a broken-spirited dog at best."

Yang Zhu scoffed, seized another jade-green immortal sword, and as he swung it, heaven and earth lost their color, billions of stars dimming.

"Pfft!"

Another deadly strike—the Supreme of Light and Darkness's sword ripped open his chest, supreme blood pouring forth, piercing countless stars, his vital essence rapidly draining.

(The protagonist and Ye Fan: Chaos Holy Fetus and Primeval Sacred Body, Lingbao Tianzun and the Perfect Sacred Body, natal emperor weapon (Slay Immortal Sword Formation) and bare fists, with or without the Great Emperor's killing formation…) (Their gap is not a trifle, so it won't be as tragic as in the original.) "You have unleashed dark turmoil, causing billions of beings to perish—utterly unworthy of being Supremes; today I will prove my imperial path with supreme blood!"

Yang Zhu's eyes like cold lightning, he struck out another palm, truly sending the opponent flying a thousand miles, his famed immortal body covered in blood marks, nearly torn apart.

The other Supremes, even if they joined forces to strike down Yang Zhu, were still bound by the Primordial Killing Formation, slaughtered until their bodies ran with blood, trembling, yet still unable to break the formation.

"Ah!"

After repeated heavy blows, what humiliation! The Supreme of Light and Darkness roared, his brow bursting with myriad rays of light, forced to the brink of transcending to the ultimate realm.

"Too late."

Yang Zhu's black hair danced, his expression calm—how could he let the opponent succeed? "Boom!"

The Chaos Holy Fetus' qi and blood surged, pressing upon all heavens; he extended his hand and unleashed a forbidden palm strike, blasting the Supreme of Light and Darkness, who sought ultimate transcendence, sideways, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

That palm seal was terrifyingly, a forbidden scripture from the Wuji Canon; a single blow shattered half of his opponent's body, even his vital essence being stripped away.

"Rumble—rumble—rumble!"

Giving his opponent no chance to catch breath, Yang Zhu closed in, striking repeatedly; against a physique of equal rank, the Supreme of Light and Darkness gained not even half an advantage.

He was firmly pressed down, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood, his mighty body on the verge of exploding; though his heart seethed with myriad reluctances, it availed nothing.

As a Chaos Holy Fetus, Yang Zhu's recovery was too strong; his divine power seemed inexhaustible, each strike able to shatter stars and trample the heavens, extraordinarily valiant.

After merely dozens of rounds, the Supreme of Light and Darkness was near collapse, his eyes dimmed, his body shattered…

"The imperial prince's might overwhelms all heavens; sweeping across an age, he will surely quell this turmoil!"

All beings of the universe roared in unison; watching Yang Zhu utterly crush the Ancient Supreme from all sides was exhilarating, granting them a glimpse of dawn.

"Nine Secrets, appear!"

Yang Zhu's body was smeared with blood, none his own but from his opponent; as he softly exhaled, nine radiant immortal characters rose behind him.

Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Shu, Zhen, Qian, Xing—the nine characters each blazed brilliantly, flowing with immortal light, dazzling to the point of being unbearable to behold.

From them emanated a power to dissolve into the Dao; even the Stone Emperor and others felt their hearts tremble.

"I said before, killing you is like slaughtering chickens and dogs."

Yang Zhu shifted his hand seal; the nine great characters trembled lightly, actually coalescing and merging into one, finally forming a ball of light that he thrust forth.

The nine great secret arts combined now were terrifying beyond measure, forbidden immortal laws dancing, even immortal qi wafting forth, profoundly mysterious.

"Ah……"

The Supreme of Light and Darkness wailed, this time he truly smelled the scent of death, rarely showing fear.

In his unwilling roar, his body was gradually dissolved by the light ball; he wished to ignite his imperial blood to return to peak condition.

But his wounds were now too severe; he could not even ascend to the supreme peak.

Under the horrified gazes of all, this Ancient Supreme, under the assault of the forbidden light ball and the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, had his body and primordial spirit gradually disintegrate, turning into a rain of light that faded away…

"Everyone, we cannot continue like this!"

The Stone Emperor shouted, swinging his black great halberd with all his might.

A being of equal rank, just thus slain by Yang Zhu, his heart shuddered, a nameless fear truly rising.

Only after paying an extremely heavy price did he finally break free from the Primordial Killing Formation!

The Desolate Heaven Great Halberd was covered in terrifying cracks, almost shattered; the black armor was more than half broken, his flesh and blood a blur, blood flowing nonstop……
