Chapter 337

Stone Emperor attained the Dao as a Holy Spirit; truly speaking, compared to ordinary Ancient Emperors he is more terrifying; if he recovers to peak combat power, he is strong beyond imagination! "Now the void returns, the Eternal Universe reappears, still a sea of blood; today I also do not wish to entangle further with you, ten moves as limit, if I cannot kill you I will self-destruct!"

The Stone Emperor laughed wildly, unbeatable, his disheveled hair flying, his eyes cold enough to freeze the universe; he wielded his halberd and thrust forward.

As the sound faded, his aura surged countless times, overwhelming the universe, the Ancient Emperor's might sweeping across, as if a once‑great Imperial Dao master had revived! "Exactly to my liking!"

Yang Zhu also laughed, and in the next moment, the black robe and the Slaughter Immortal Formation Diagram fell off from the tiny figure between the brows of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable.

The black robe fluttered, returning to Yang Zhu's body, floating light leaping gold, flashing immortal light, countless Beginningless Dao patterns appearing, worthy of being called an unparalleled defensive armor.

"Hum!"

And that radiant scroll lay across Yang Zhu's Immortal Platform, gently trembling with ripples; sun, moon, stars, and the heavenly river appeared, like lines of inscriptions, attached to Yang Zhu's Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, that Primordial Spirit avatar seemed to don radiant armor, divine light shining brightly, possessing an endless sea of essence and qi, constantly replenishing consumption.

"Today I will surely kill you!"

The Stone Emperor laughed coldly, wielding the Desolate Heaven Halberd riddled with cracks, he cleaved down the Nine Heavens, carrying immeasurable mighty power, and struck downwards.

Instantly, heaven and earth lost color, the Great Dao trembled, all laws and principles to be obliterated, the Ancient Emperor's aura permeated every corner of the universe, terrifying beyond compare! The former supreme Ancient Emperor, at this moment restored to his former peak, reigns over all under heaven, I alone am supreme!

"Hum..."

Yang Zhu's black hair flew like a waterfall, daring not to be the slightest careless; facing the Stone Emperor's full‑force counterattack, even a present‑day emperor would fall if he erred! "Boom!"

The Heavenly Blade swept across the sky, bursting forth nine kinds of immortal light; the nine great immortal metals emitted a humming sound like the Great Dao's cycle of reincarnation, severing ages and spacetime!

Yang Zhu's blood boiled within, his vital energy pierced the cosmos, his divine power mighty like a galaxy; with a single move, myriad ways resonated, and all heavens and myriad worlds trembled.

He gripped the Heavenly Blade tightly, his vital energy surging heavenward, his stature towering, like a Heavenly Emperor revived, and also like a supreme sovereign walking from the past.

All living beings in the universe trembled with fear at this moment.

"Boom—!"

The Heavenly Blade's edge shone bright, peerlessly sharp, able to cut through the ancient blue sky, carrying a world and the Dao's will, it fell from the Ninth Heaven! The Slaughter Immortal Sword Formation moved with it, killing intent sharp, the two Imperial Weapons on his body fully bound, protecting his flesh and Primordial Spirit.

This strike caused sun and moon to fall, stars to dim, billions of miles of mountains and rivers to lose color, surpassing the full‑powered strike of a Great Sacred Body! (I know someone will jump out here again, I don't want to explain, figure it out yourself. Chaos Body, Innate Dao Embryo, Ancient Holy Body combined.) "Bang!"

The Heavenly Blade and the halberd clashed briefly, taking this place as the battlefield's center, the void of the universe suffered great collapse, all laws fell silent, ceasing to exist.

Endless might swept across, many life‑bearing ancient stars exploded, billions of miles of star rivers were shattered, the whole universe shook, the order of heaven and earth inverted, nearly blown apart!

Blinding light raged, dazzling to the point of being unbearable to look at; only an Ancient Supreme could, through divine light, barely make out the battlefield's situation.

At this moment, the overwhelming power left people breathless; everyone trembled with fear, felt chills, and dread reached its peak.

This is a true Emperor's battle! Yang Zhu's body seemed struck by a cosmic expanse, able to crush any pressure shock, even the Dao and principles could be worn away.

Purple‑gold vital energy hazy, his body completely merged with the Great Dao, as if becoming the Dao itself, divine rosy light danced, chaotic mist swirled.

At this moment, Yang Zhu was invulnerable to all laws; heavenly Dao‑arts could not harm him in the slightest; the instant they struck him, they passed straight through.

The terror of the Chaos Sacred Embryo was fully revealed here! Yet facing the Ancient Emperor pushed to the utmost sublime, even as mighty as the Chaos Sacred Embryo, it was impossible to neutralize all attacks, and many struck his body.

"Hummm!"

The black robe flared wildly, shaking the Beginningless Immortal Rules; terrifying assaults surged, dreadful and rampant, as strong as Imperial Weapons, and the patterns on it began to crack.

"Whoosh!"

A faint sound rang out; Yang Zhu's clothing took the brunt, being torn open a corner by force.

Fortunately, the deity sealed within the black robe had revived, extraordinarily powerful; with vast divine power it fully repaired the damage and prevented the cracks from spreading further.

"Hmph!"

In contrast, the Stone Emperor fared poorly; he had originally severed himself with a single blow, lying dormant through endless ages, his life essence nearly exhausted.

Even if he ignited his essence blood and pushed to the utmost sublime, it was difficult to restore his true peak state.

Moreover, he had consumed a vast amount of life essence on the path to immortality, and then was successively heavily wounded by the Void and the Great Emperor's killing formation, his whole body covered in blood, his breath feeble.

"Pfft—"

The Stone Emperor's visage was ferocious; he was already at the end of his tether, and now he couldn't help spouting a large mouthful of fresh blood, yet the hand gripping his great halberd still erupted with divine power.

In this battle, he held nothing back, aiming to slay his opponent with a single strike! "Hum—rumble…"

After a long while, once all the strange phenomena and divine light had dissipated, two figures simultaneously flew backward.

Yang Zhu's black robe was torn, but his flesh was unharmed, and his life essence remained as vigorous as the sea.

After ascending to the Quasi-Emperor realm, his divine power became inexhaustible, reaching an inexhaustible state, and with the Nine Secrets upon him, his recuperative ability was terrifying.

"Crack-crack-crack… Bang!"

The Stone Emperor's situation was far worse; his pitch-black great halberd, already riddled with cracks, after a crisp sound, shattered completely into countless fragments.

At the sight of the Ancient Emperor's weapon, it was now utterly gone! "Hahaha, I am ever more eager for your precious blood!"

The Stone Emperor laughed, blood-stained, like a demon god born into the world, shocking and heart-chilling, making one's blood run cold.

His aura grew ever dimmer; unlike Yang Zhu, his wounds were now extremely hard to heal, and even devouring hundreds of millions of living beings would have only a negligible effect.

Realizing this, he decisively chose to go all out in this battle; otherwise, he would eventually be drained to death in the Beginningless Killing Formation.

"Good heavens, the Chaos Sacred Fetus truly is the premier physique of all ages; merely breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm makes it this fearsome, capable of standing against an Ancient Emperor!"

"Before the Beginningless Great Emperor even proved the Dao, he could wield an imperial weapon without dying; the imperial heir must surely surpass his master!"

The universe rang with cheers; although they had not personally faced the ancient supreme beings, they could not help but feel their spirits surge, their bodies trembling with excitement.

"I never imagined the situation would develop to such a point…"

The Light and Dark Supreme's face turned pale; just now he had taken a kick from the Beginningless Great Emperor and almost been trampled to death on the spot—a utter disgrace.

As a former supreme of the ancient eras, having his imperial weapon shattered by a kick was bad enough, but to nearly be obliterated in a single move by the Beginningless was a tremendous blow for one who once ruled the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Kill!"

The Stone Emperor bellowed coldly, unafraid even though his imperial weapon was shattered; with every gesture he unleashed holy spirit patterns, like a world smashing forth, mighty and domineering!

"Boom!"

Yang Zhu smirked, put away the Heavenly Blade, and began to deduce various forbidden scriptures, extremely intricate, containing the world's most fundamental mysteries.

"Yin and Yang fuse, giving rise to myriad paths!" The two primal sources of Yin and Yang flowed, various strands clinging to his palm, immediately merging together, forming a strand of chaotic immortal light that he unleashed.

This is what he comprehended during his seclusion, when he contemplated the Dao of the two Human Emperors, the Sun Sacred Emperor and the Moon Sacred Emperor.

He possesses the ancient scriptures of both Human Emperors, past and present; now the forbidden scriptures of the two volumes operate simultaneously, their power is unimaginable.

Boom!

The primordial Dao patterns of the two Human Emperors collided with the Stone Emperor's Sacred Spirit lines, spreading an aura that made all worlds tremble, causing everyone's hearts to pound.

The Sun and Moon, both revered as Human Emperors, possess invincibility and majesty that none dare question; their Dao and laws are naturally so powerful as to be unbelievable.

Moreover, they are the most primordial of profound mysteries!

Hummm…

Under the astonished gazes of the world, Yang Zhu's yin-yang immortal light shattered the Stone Emperor's Sacred Spirit lines bit by bit, dissolving them.

Finally, he even absorbed part of the Sacred Spirit laws within it!

Even the Stone Emperor never imagined such a result; to claim he was merely shocked would be false.

This is not merely a confrontation between the Stone Emperor and Yang Zhu, but also a contest between the Sacred Spirit lineage and the Human lineage!

"I refuse to believe it; today I cannot fail to crush you, this ant!"

The Stone Emperor flew into a rage, nearly roaring; having been pushed to the utmost sublimation was already enough, but after two moves he still couldn't defeat his opponent, instead suffering a considerable loss.

Such a thing is absolutely unprecedented; how could he swallow this anger? "Bang!"

The Sacred Spirit lineage, famed for invincibility, this time he did not again deploy the primordial Dao patterns, but instead closed in and unleashed the purest assault.

"Today I will make you lose utterly!"

Facing the heavily wounded ancient supreme, Yang Zhu showed no fear, striding forward step by step to meet him, intending to decide the fight with his fleshly body! His immortal platform blazed, and behind him two illusory apparitions appeared, representing his past and present lives; with the support of three lifetimes, he met the enemy head-on! "Bang!" "Thump!"

This was an extremely fierce clash, fist to flesh, murderous intent abundant; each collision produced a heaven-shaking roar like a shattered galaxy, as if two ancient streets collided.

The Lin character secret allows Yang Zhu to permanently reside in Shen Jin Yu, making him invincible against peers, and even surpassing levels.

The Dou character secret is the ultimate combat art, acclaimed as the foremost Shen Gong of merit and conquest, capable of deriving any technique and lethal divine arts.

The Zhe Zhe character secret's restorative ability is peerless; now Yang Zhu employs it, instantly healing his injuries, his divine power endless and inexhaustible! The Jie character secret's original text causes Yang Zhu's all-around capabilities to increase tenfold, his primordial spirit, fleshly body, and combat power reaching a terrifying level……

The Qian character secret, while strengthening the soul, also deduces the opponent's offensive, becoming ever more facile……

The nine secret arts each represent the pinnacle of the Human Dao domain, established by nine celestial venerables of the mythic era; they are supreme Shen Gong, how terrifying and mighty!

Moreover, the Western Emperor Scripture, the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, the Indestructible Heavenly Palace, the Demon Emperor Scripture, the Human Emperor Scripture, etc., all moved in unison, and Yang Zhu employed them to the utmost.

Although he did not cultivate those other scriptures, he drew upon their essences, especially the forbidden chapters, benefiting boundlessly and gaining much insight.

At this moment, every move and gesture of Yang Zhu involves the deployment of several secret arts, with patterns flying across the sky, imbuing his body to face the enemy.

(Rest assured, later all laws will return to one.) "Rumble…"

This battle was too tragic; who knows how many stars and star fields were reduced to ashes in this moment, with a myriad-li star river shattered in an instant, leaving nothing.

"Even a minor accomplishment of the Chaos Sacred Fetus can rival a Great Emperor; this is no empty talk…"

Not to speak of other beings in the universe, even those ancient supremes were moved in their hearts, their faces grave to the extreme.

They had long known this fact, merely unwilling and unwilling to admit it.

To put it bluntly, as fellow Dao-provers, the Stone Emperor who attained the Sacred Spirit could thrash an ordinary Great Emperor with one hand, while Wu Shi could thrash the Stone Emperor with one hand as well.

Only by facing such a physique in person can one know how invincible and mighty it is.

Innately established in an invincible position!

Pfft…

The ancient emperor's blood flowed again, splattering across dozens of li, inundating vast star fields, horrifying without bound, shocking to behold.

Yang Zhu also bled, his purple-gold blood flying about; each drop moved like an immortal elixir, more precious than a single stalk of the Medicine King, worthy of being called a supreme immortal treasure.

Yet no one dared step forward to collect it, for Yang Zhu's fresh blood, even if a mere quasi-emperor touched it, would bring more misfortune than fortune.

"I'll see how long you can endure."

The final boundless fist light was unleashed; the Stone Emperor's near-shattered body could no longer endure, he was hurled tens of thousands of li, half his body turned into a bloody mire.

"I am unwilling! Alas, not having been in my prime, otherwise a single strike would have killed you!"

He laughed loudly, wounds covering his body, drenched in blood, three spots pierced through by Yang Zhu, blood spurting out, even the stark white bones exposed……

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhu merely glanced at him indifferently; such a meaningless retort was not worth his comment.

The two clashed for a full seven rounds; though not many, each move was lethal, shocking heaven and earth, making ghosts and gods weep; a moment's inattention leading to heavy injury would be minor, but if severe, they would fall on the spot.

"What a pity, ultimately unable to fight Wu Shi in a battle!"

The Stone Emperor finally glanced toward the direction of the Undying Mountain, roaring with much reluctance.

Afterward, his vital essence was exhausted, his peak state gone, his breath fading rapidly, the light in his eyes gradually dimming, heading toward its end……

"Today I will forge my immortal body with supreme blood, proving my invincible Dao!"

Yang Zhu ignored his injuries, stepping forth with Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, the Accursed Immortal Sword piercing the void to arrive, being split down by its force?

Screech!

Afterward, under the astonished and shocked gazes of the world, Yang Zhu cleaved the master of the Undying Mountain in two! Ancient emperor's blood sprayed, astonishing everyone; at this moment, the entire universe fell silent, a pindrop could be heard, everyone as if in a dream, incredulously gazing at the scene above the nine heavens.

"The Stone Emperor… has been defeated, split in two by the Imperial Son's power!"

"The Chaos Sacred Fetus is supreme throughout history, overwhelming the present age, overwhelming all ages!"

After a brief silence, the world erupted in uproar; everyone was stirred beyond measure, tears brimming, today's battle could certainly be recorded in history, passed down forever! This day, the universe trembled, the renown of the Human Emperor's son spread to every corner, none failing to be shocked and moved.

"Ah, we were ultimately wrong, they were right…"

The remaining supremes, watching this scene, only felt their scalps go numb; it seems they truly were mistaken in this lifetime……

Not only was it a mistaken time, but also a mistaken era! (End of chapter)
