Chapter 120: Entering the Scheme with One's Body, Perishing Together with the Enemy!

"Lao Ba, what are you doing..."

This was on the road of escape, the shocked and angry questioning voice of Lao San among the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation.

For he had heard two thudding sounds, though faint, they ultimately still allowed him to perceive something.

Yet when he turned back, he saw Lao Ba strike with both palms simultaneously, killing Lao Liu and Lao Qi in an instant beneath his palms, their Primordial Spirits unable to escape either, directly drawn into his Quasi-Emperor Sword.

This scene stunned the remaining few.

Why was Lao Ba doing this?

And when had he become this strong?!

Even though the six of them had been heavily injured by Wu Shi, and Lao Liu and Lao Qi were injured more severely due to their cultivation, to be thoroughly killed in a single move was clearly not something Lao Ba could normally do.

"He's turning traitor!"

Lao Da and the others reacted almost simultaneously, roaring in unison.

And their response could not be called slow.

The remaining four, at nearly the same time, opened their mouths and spat out essence blood to form substitutes, blocking Lao Ba's swift and fierce killing move.

Then, all without hesitation worsened their injuries, forcefully rousing essence blood, only to exchange for higher combat power.

And from the crowns of Lao Da and Lao San's heads, a Quasi-Emperor level Forbidden Artifact instantly surged forth, its power astonishing, in no way weaker than when they previously faced Wu Shi.

Even with such ample preparation, the four were still shocked and angry, and inwardly apprehensive.

For even though they were cautious to the utmost, with many trump cards, in the decisive battle with Wu Shi they had already used up most of them.

These two Forbidden Artifacts were already the last life-saving trump cards remaining for Lao Da and Lao San.

And they had been suppressed by Wu Shi, suffering unprecedented heavy injuries; this was indeed their weakest moment in over a thousand years.

It must be said, no matter how firm a fortress, it is still easily breached from within.

Lao Ba Rui Zheng had accompanied them for many years, knowing their roots and bottoms thoroughly; this time he seized the opportunity too well!

And he was clearly long prepared.

In the previous great battle, he was struck flying by Wu Shi; now it seems, it was more feigned injury, actually to preserve strength.

And his preparation did not stop there.

Only hearing a boom, a Yuantian Grand Formation flew out from his black Quasi-Emperor Sword, directly enveloping this stretch of starry sky.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Countless Divine Sources soared skyward, fixing in the four directions, divine light brilliant, illuminating this region with blazing radiance, simultaneously revealing killing intent.

This was absolutely a Universe Rare Quasi-Emperor level Peerless Killing Array, surpassing any Lao Er had ever set up in the past!

Cold sweat broke out on Lao Da and the others.

They originally thought Wu Shi was the Peerless Great Enemy, yet never expected that the one who would truly annihilate them was right beside them.

"Lao Ba, why?"

At this juncture, Lao Da still wanted to try to delay time, and also genuinely wanted to ask for the full truth.

However.

Rui Zheng's gaze was cold as iron, completely ignoring them, only pouring all his strength into activating the killing array, to wound and kill them who were already heavily injured.

"Roar..."

Accompanied by roars, the four within the array all spat blood respectively, even the strongest Lao Da was no exception.

The four sadly discovered that Lao Ba Rui Zheng not only had individual combat power that had long surpassed them, but was also preserved most completely; coupled with the Yuantian Grand Formation's enhancement, he was like a tiger with wings.

This great battle lasted a full three days, almost collapsing all the desolate stars in this Border Wilderness Star Domain.

And the final outcome held no suspense.

First Lao San, Lao Si, Lao Wu perished, their physical bodies taken into the black Quasi-Emperor Sword, even their remnant souls confined by Dao Fire.

Last was the strongest Lao Da; even though extremely unwilling, rage soaring to the heavens, he was still suppressed, even his Primordial Spirit refined by Rui Zheng with Dao Fire...

In fact.

This was several battle light-shadows imprinted with a sect's supreme treasure by a certain major power near this revenge battle.

Afterwards, people deduced the scene at the time through various clues, yet also approached the truth of the facts.

Di Guan First City.

Autumn wind as before, all around a deathly silence, everyone fallen into silence.

From afar came weeping sounds, like resentment like longing.

That was someone thinking of their own experience, thinking of their own departed loved ones, very similar to Rui Zheng, yet unable to take revenge, otherwise it would only bring greater calamity.

There were also clear and beautiful women with tears streaming down their faces, sighing endlessly for this blue-robed man's desperate past.

"Brother Rui..."

Even Wu Shi was moved, the light in his eyes complex, containing admiration, and sorrow.

But also pity and regret after perceiving more details.

For having reached Wu Shi's height, he could long since see that the current Rui Zheng, though his Qi mechanism was powerful, far surpassing any of the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation in the past, had even shed his mortal body to become an incomplete Chaos Body.

But from his gaze, the aura above his head, one could feel his struggle, a kind of pain from suppressing a ferocious thing.

Obviously.

Rui Zheng suddenly struck, using absolute cultivation to slaughter and swallow the remaining six of the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation, yet also suffered backlash.

Especially the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation's Lao Da, Divine Soul tenacious, still unwilling and resentful, refusing to be refined by Rui Zheng, struggling continuously.

But Rui Zheng ultimately still occupied the upper hand with a slightly higher line of cultivation, and absolute will.

Finally.

"Brother Rui is truly a peerless fierce husband of the ages; to meet today is my fortune."

Wu Shi poured a cup of wine, then stood up to show solemnity, holding the wine and bowing with clasped hands toward Rui Zheng.

This scene surprised everyone in the city.

Since Wu Shi's debut, he has pushed horizontally across Yu Nei, roamed in all directions, always destroying withered and pulling rotten, his bearing crowning an era.

An existence like him, looking across ancient and modern times, there are few; truly his divine aura has reached the absolute peak!

Even though he has not yet proved the Dao and become Emperor, that kind of ancient-and-modern invincible transcendence and domineering aura has long been displayed without doubt!

Such a figure, no one is worthy of his bowing, yet at this moment he performs rites toward his peer Rui Zheng.

Of course.

This is obviously not because of any reverence, but a heartfelt admiration, for Wu Shi himself is actually a hot-blooded man.

And Rui Zheng also deserves this title of "fierce husband".

Even though his strength cannot be called peerless in Yu Nei, he ultimately accomplished this nearly impossible thing; on the entire Emperor Pass Ancient Road few can do it!

"Hahaha..."

Rui Zheng laughed loudly, tears even coming out.

Then it turned into a miserable laugh, triggering his injuries to flare, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, yet he did not care.

Over a hundred years of the road of revenge, he has had too much pain and heartbreak.

Undoubtedly, this is a segment of overly dark and depraved cruel past; few people can endure it!

Even with a will as tenacious as his, he almost reached the edge of collapse.

Can say, if not for Wu Shi's appearance, Rui Zheng would very likely have soon launched an attack; even if he could not kill all those enemies, he would take away Lao Da and two or three others.

Fortunately, ultimately he still succeeded, exterminating all the villains, although he himself also paid an extremely tragic price.

"Many thanks, Dao Brother Wu Shi, only then could I repay the great enmity!"

Rui Zheng likewise rose from his seat, prostrated with a grand salute to worship Wu Shi, his words sincere, his face earnest.

Such a scene, even in the First City of Emperor Pass that has experienced ten thousand ancient years, is not often seen.

Here there is more of great battles between strong ones, or insight into the Ancient Emperor's Dao Marks.

However.

What should come ultimately will still come.

"Dao Brother, you and I will ultimately have one battle."

Rui Zheng's voice was clear, issuing a challenge to Wu Shi before him.

This moment, his gaze was clear and bright, obviously having temporarily suppressed in some way that originally flashing ferocity among them.

Ah this...

The other cultivators in the city were all extremely surprised, feeling puzzled.

Clearly two young men mutually admire each other, and one even has great grace toward the other, helping him repay blood sea deep hatred, why still have a great battle?

Only the two powerful Quasi-Emperors, the Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor and the God Race Quasi-Emperor, these two saw some clues, guessed the reason within.

And Wu Shi, the focus of everyone's gaze at the center, even more lightly sighed.

Obviously, he had long since seen through many things, understanding more deeply than everyone.

Nothing to say.

A Quasi-Emperor level great battle that shook Yu Nei erupted on the Ancient Battlefield of the First City of Emperor Pass.

Here everywhere there are Tai Gu Royal and Great Emperor's rule Yin Ji, because in the past they also once battled here, left fresh blood, then transformed into undying traces.

Therefore, the entire Ancient Battlefield can be called eternal and immortal; ten thousand ancient years of Quasi-Emperor clashing have not been able to destroy this place.

"Boom!"

Rui Zheng in a green robe stood in mid-air, around his body faintly wisps of Chaos Qi coiled, his whole person's aura climbed to the absolute peak!

This is actually an Incomplete Chaos Body?!

All cultivators on the outside revealed shocked expressions.

This body constitution is too astonishingly domineering, can be called the number one body constitution since ancient times; ten thousand ancient years ago it seemingly appeared once, leaving heaven-shaking battle achievements.

Even now Rui Zheng is only an incomplete version, it is still enough to shock the world, to surpass the Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor and God Race Quasi-Emperor guarding the formation on the side.

Even though the latter two, one claims Immortal Domain bloodline, one claims God Race's once in hundreds of thousands of years Peerless Heavenly Prodigy, they still have to bow their heads before Rui Zheng.

No way, this is an objective strength gap.

And surprised as surprised, many people also guessed the origin of Rui Zheng's Chaos Body.

Must be the result of killing and swallowing the other seven of the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation.

Because in the past, the Lao Da among the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation once accidentally displayed a strand of the Chaos Body prototype, only it was far weaker than Rui Zheng's current state.

That must be an extremely cruel and cold-blooded cultivation method; at the beginning it should have been mastered by Lao Da, unknown why Rui Zheng also obtained some.

On the other side, Wu Shi is also not to be outdone.

He likewise rose to mid-air, his whole body brilliant, even his Mei Shen glowing, a body of Dao Principles operating to the extreme.

This is going all out, not a shred of holding back.

Obviously.

This is the greatest respect for an opponent like Rui Zheng.

"Rumble!"

Rui Zheng did not sacrifice the black Quasi-Emperor Sword floating at his side, but directly threw a punch, wanting to truly clash head-on with Wu Shi.

In an instant, the entire Ancient Battlefield's Dao Principles great collision, violent to the extreme.

That kind of Great Dao aura surged and churned, to the extent that the cultivators on the outside almost could not see the battle situation in the field.

Only saw two supreme figures shoot back explosively, then charge at each other again, completely that kind of rigid fierce against domineering violent playstyle, truly needle tip against wheat awn.

Undoubtedly, this was a battle worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Emperor Pass Ancient Road; there have been few such instances since ancient times.

And in the end.

The two figures separated, the aura in the arena gradually subsiding; the outcome was decided.

Rui Zheng was still defeated.

His body flew backward, no longer able to fight.

"To die at the hands of a peerless hero such as you, Dao Friend, I have no regrets."

Rui Zheng spoke with great effort while coughing up blood in large mouthfuls.

Die?!

All the observing cultivators were somewhat baffled.

Since they cherished each other, why must he have the other kill him?

And to cultivate into a peerless Quasi-Emperor, how difficult it is, plus he is a Chaos Body rarely seen in ten thousand ages!

Keep the green mountain, fear no lack of firewood; even if he cannot prove the Dao and become Emperor, he is sufficient to reign supreme over one side for thousands of years, is that not beautiful?!

Only the Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor and the Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor, those few powerhouses, guessed some truth from the chaotic Qi mechanisms above Rui Zheng's head.

And on the other side of the battlefield.

"Brother Rui, you are also a hero of the current age, why bother like this.

While stopping, Wu Shi's eyes also revealed a trace of unbearable pity and regret.

He also sustained some minor injuries, but almost nothing serious.

Rui Zheng smiled miserably, yet with a trace of pleading.

"Dao Friend Wu Shi, you know, I can suppress them no longer."

Without needing to gesture, many people saw above Rui Zheng's crown, several dark inexplicable things colliding chaotically, emitting a ferocious and brutal aura.

These are the remnant souls of those few from the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation?!

People exclaimed, having already guessed what they were.

Obviously.

Rui Zheng had indeed endured for over a hundred years, his strength formidable, but launching a sudden attack, killing and devouring six Quasi-Emperor level experts, he still paid an unimaginable price.

Especially the leader among them, who originally already had a strand of Chaos Body prototype; at his peak, he might even surpass Rui Zheng, only suppressed due to heavy injuries.

This return to the Di Guan First City, besides wanting to fight Wu Shi once more, Rui Zheng's main purpose was to ask for his help, to resolve these few villains in one stroke.

And at this moment.

Everyone had already guessed Rui Zheng's intention.

Using his body to enter the game, perishing together with the enemy!

The autumn wind sobbed, a mournful sound rising from nowhere, its voice wu wu.

A female cultivator could no longer hold back, tears bursting from her eyes.

There were also white-haired men with grief on their faces, thinking of their own relatives and friends killed by the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation.

……

"Dao Friend... I have a method, that can help you cultivate anew..."

For some reason, even Wu Shi felt his words were somewhat dry and rough.

And Rui Zheng also understood his meaning, which was to preserve a strand of Primordial Spirit, and start cultivation from the beginning.

His face pale, he slowly shook his head, "My Primordial Spirit is already shattered beyond repair, and is too deeply entangled with them."

In fact.

Wu Shi had long since seen this point, but still could not bear it, wanting to preserve such a magnificent and heroic man as Rui Zheng!

"Please, Dao Friend, help me find release; and if they escape, they will surely bring calamity to all living beings, this is eliminating evil for you." Rui Zheng forced himself to face him, his eyes filled with a certain determination and pleading.

"To be defeated by an existence such as you, Dao Friend Wu Shi, is also my fortune." He added a line.

His voice clear, his form bright; even though strands of black Qi coiled and clashed above his head, they could not conceal Rui Zheng's peerless heroic bearing in the slightest.

Outside the battlefield, all were in great sorrow.

Unknown how many could no longer endure, even Sages and Great Saints could not help but kneel and bow, for among them were many who had great enmity with the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation, yet today it was Rui Zheng who helped them avenge it single-handedly.

Clang clang clang!

Rui Zheng's Primordial Spirit was already damaged before clashing with Wu Shi, and now with heavy injuries, it was even more on the verge of being unable to persist.

Seeing those villains' remnant souls about to break through his suppression, Rui Zheng shouted in anger, lunging forward.

Wu Shi sighed.

The next moment.

Boom!

A supremely vast and powerful Dao Wave suppressed and killed downward, blasting into extinction all the remnant souls of those few from the Eight Gods of Heavenly Desolation, and Rui Zheng also ultimately was about to perish.

He vomited blood in large mouthfuls, departing amidst light rain, yet smiling, "Father, Mother, Elder Sister, I'm coming..."

In that light rain, some light shadows simultaneously appeared.

It was a dignified and elegant woman, embracing a young child, kissing him again and again, tears unceasing.

Beside her was a tall and refined middle-aged man, his tiger eyes also containing gentle light, looking at his blood-related children.

And the next moment, was an older sister not many years older, she reluctantly embraced her younger brother, unwilling to part for a long time...

And people knew, this was not real, but merely a remnant thought Rui Zheng manifested before perishing.
