Chapter 124: Holy Spirit Falls, Forbidden Zones Stir!

The Tianshu Holy Land has already been destroyed, everyone turned to flying ash.

Yet the calamity of the dozens of nearby Dao lineages has only just begun.

Countless people, gazing up at that sky-covering, sun-blocking blood-colored giant hand, sank into despair.

There were young cultivators in the prime of youth, their eyes full of bewilderment, not knowing why they had suddenly met such a calamity.

There were also white-haired elders of the Old Fossil level, who knew some inside details, and from the booming roar coming from the direction of the Tianshu Holy Land, guessed a hint of the truth.

These old cultivators either cursed loudly, bitterly denouncing those people of the Tianshu Holy Land.

Or wept bitterly, deeply regretting that they had clearly been worried yet had not taken their disciples and descendants away from this region sooner.

Still more clear-headed ones, disregarding everything, acted decisively, wanting to tear space and escape this place, yet discovered in horror that they fundamentally could not leave.

This is a general trend.

A Holy Spirit about to achieve the Dao has appeared — who can control him?

Even the Heavenly Principles are recruited by him; let alone these Saint Realm and Great Saint Realm cultivators, even the Tianshu Quasi-Emperor of years past coming here would be killed by this Holy Spirit.

If there were a Great Emperor in the current era, perhaps they could sense the movement in this direction and come to suppress it.

But the current era has only a few Quasi-Emperors; facing this Holy Spirit, who is stronger and who is weaker is still unknown.

Moreover, Quasi-Emperor level experts have not fused with the Heaven's Heart mark, so perhaps they cannot immediately perceive the movement in this direction.

Because the Central Plains Land is truly too vast and boundless.

Therefore.

At this moment, across the land, everywhere are scenes of despair, no different from the arrival of doomsday.

However.

Right at this critical moment, a terrifying to the extreme Dao Wave actually came from afar, striking upon that Holy Spirit's body.

"Ah..."

Amid that Holy Spirit's incomparably furious roar, he was struck flying horizontally, vomiting great mouthfuls of blood, bones broken and tendons snapped, directly sent into the starry sky.

And another crystalline palm shielded below; otherwise a single strand of aftermath would suffice to shock everyone to death, also wasting that terrifying Dao Wave's rescue effort.

This scene shocked everyone!

What a majestic existence this is!

Just one strike alone, and a Holy Spirit about to prove the Dao is beaten into such a miserable state!

Could it be that a Great Emperor has appeared in the current era? But these years there has been absolutely not the slightest sign!

The next moment.

A supremely majestic figure arrived, like an immortal monument, standing there, unsurpassable by anyone.

Divine Rules coiled around his body, his true appearance could not be seen clearly, only faintly sensing black hair like a waterfall, majestic figure — a man.

This man was too special, possessing a unique temperament: I have no heaven, I can have no Dao!

Among the many cultivators below, there was no lack of strong ones, and there were even one or two Great Sage level cultivators who had once seen the Dacheng Heavenly Demon Body, the Nine You Quasi-Emperor and other peerless experts.

However, all absolutely fell far short of this man's bearing and pressure!

Finally.

Someone reacted, from this unique Qi mechanism knowing who the comer was.

In the starry sky, that Holy Spirit whose eyes had originally been bloodthirsty and full of savagery finally recovered clarity, his eyes replaced with thick wariness and fear.

As a generation's Holy Spirit, he has always been invincible at the same level; having reached his current realm, theoretically only a Great Emperor can defeat him!

In the current world, there is no Great Emperor suppressing the era — this is a very obvious fact.

Yet the comer does not conform to reason in the slightest; clearly still just a Quasi-Emperor, yet with a raise of his hand he can suppress him — is there still any heavenly principle?

The gap is too great!

In his heart he completely could not generate the thought of adjusting his state and fighting another battle.

In an instant, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of golden light, which grew in the wind, transforming into a spear ten thousand zhang long, the Dragon Spear, ambush-killing toward the opposite side.

This is his natal weapon, transformed from that dragon vein in the Tianshu Holy Land, having undergone tens of thousands of years of heaven and earth nurturing together with him, now formed.

The Dragon Spear's entire body is dark gold, killing intent awe-inspiring, seemingly nothing too hard to destroy, nothing unbreakable.

This is absolutely a supreme Quasi-Imperial Weapon; given time, it might not be unable to evolve into an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon.

But now being deployed, it is merely used by its Owner to drag the person opposite, winning him a sliver of chance to escape.

The natal weapon is certainly precious and unique, but compared to the main body's life, it is still worth abandoning.

Without doubt, this Holy Spirit made the best choice he could at this moment, embodying his innately supreme combat wisdom.

Worthy of being a heaven and earth favored child baptized by sun and moon essence, blessed by the Upper Heaven!

Only pity, the person opposite merely lightly extended a hand, and grasped that fierce and sharp Dragon Spear in hand.

The spear body trembled violently, as if wanting to resist, but then was suppressed, turning into ordinary iron-like fine needles, imprisoned.

"This..."

That Holy Spirit was panic-stricken; even he himself, facing this Dragon Spear deployed with full force, would absolutely be unable to subdue it so easily.

If at the start he was still unwilling at being suddenly ambushed, at this moment he truly understood the gap between himself and the opponent.

Growing for tens of thousands of years inside the stone womb, he had also sensed generation after generation of Emperor Dao powerhouses in this Great Universe, yet how could such an existence appear now?

Even if not a Great Emperor, he already possesses Emperor-level Expert strength, right?!

This is a thought that flashed through the Holy Spirit's sea of consciousness, also approaching the truth of the matter.

But everything is too late for further thought; he only wants to tear the void, immediately leave the Beidou Star Domain, escape to some remote star domain, hide and survive.

As for grievances with the human race, speak of them later.

"Hum!"

In the cold dark outer domain starry sky, a gloomy space crack appeared.

That was this Holy Spirit displaying its Holy Spirit Lineage's Innate Spatial Secret Technique; to a certain extent, it had a marvelous similarity to the Void Great Emperor's Great Void Technique of old.

There are some roads in the world that will intersect; one cannot speak of who is higher or lower, they merely occasionally meet together.

Of course.

Now this Holy Spirit's spatial secret technique, obviously, still fell far short of the Void Great Emperor.

However, it could also be said to be this era's absolute peak; if he encountered anyone else, perhaps he would have let him escape just like that.

But the opponent he faced was Wu Shi.

"Wu!"

One saw that, across a vast distance, accompanied by a single Dao Shout from Wu Shi, a profound and unfathomable fluctuation spread out.

The space crack where the Holy Spirit stood was restored to its original form, sealing shut once more.

And he had originally already succeeded halfway, yet he was also squeezed out, staggering back in the boundless starry sky.

It was actually this kind of secret technique, involving the laws of time and space?!

The Holy Spirit's complexion turned completely pale with fright; in his heart there finally arose a great terror, no different from those ordinary cultivators who were about to be crushed by him before.

And the next moment.

Another fierce and unmatched Dao Wave pressed down to kill.

This fluctuation was strong to the extreme, making this Holy Spirit feel like an infant facing a pressing copper wall and iron wall, completely not something he could withstand.

To make a peerless Holy Spirit on the verge of Becoming Dao produce this kind of feeling, one can see to what terrifying extent Wu Shi's cultivation has now reached!

Not to say he is a Great Emperor, but it is almost the same.

"You cannot kill me... I am Heaven and Earth Creation; if you kill me, you will inevitably suffer heavenly retribution!"

The Holy Spirit man's face twisted, opening his mouth to shout.

At this juncture, he finally became terrified to the extreme, resisting with all his might.

Once these words came out, they horrified all people who had taken notice of this battle.

Since ancient times there have been rumors: if one kills a bearer of great Heavenly Luck, endless calamities will descend, one will suffer heavenly punishment, and death is beyond doubt.

Because every Holy Spirit is formed after evolving for millions of years; it can be said they gather and accept Upper Heaven's great Luck; killing them will bring boundless great disaster.

From ancient times to now, only Human Race Great Emperors have dared to kill, able to dissolve Upper Heaven's calamities by their own power, refining Upper Heaven.

And now Wu Shi has not yet Proved the Dao and Become Emperor; would he dare do this kind of thing?

However.

This moment.

Above this Holy Spirit man's crown, there seemed to be countless wronged souls wailing, each with blood tears streaming down their faces, among them no lack of young children, youths male and female.

They were all the people of Tianshu Holy Land and some surrounding minor forces whom he had slaughtered.

Of course, this was not a real scene, but the scene Wu Shi saw upon opening his Dao Heavenly Eye.

Having committed such surging Killing Karma, yet still thinking to rely on his Holy Spirit identity to escape the Killing Tribulation.

"Your Killing Karma is too heavy; keeping you will inevitably bring disaster to the world; if there is heavenly retribution, I myself will dissolve it!"

Wu Shi, originally calm, changed at this moment.

His form towering, his voice imposing, standing thus in the void, treading all manner of Dao Patterns beneath his feet, even the Great Dao would submit, like a Heavenly Emperor.

Then he swung a palm, as if cleaving open Heaven and Earth, unexpectedly reflecting a brilliant world, just like Tian Ting!

Even though he has not yet Become Emperor, the mighty power he displayed at this moment had already become almost as strong as the world's absolute peak!

Even the Several Great Life Forbidden Zones were alarmed.

"Rumble—!"

The palm wave chopped down; this Holy Spirit man who looked absolutely beautiful let out a great cry, his body shattering inch by inch, burning inch by inch, turning into a patch of light together with his Primordial Spirit, evaporated dry.

An existence who, after becoming a Holy Spirit, could contend with a Great Emperor was just like that suppressed and killed, making people's hearts incomparably shaken!

And within the Life Forbidden Zones, movements were also transmitted; either Demonic Clouds surging, or Immortal Rosy Clouds brilliant.

In short, all were existences beyond the reach of worldly people, lofty like Immortals and Demons.

Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone.

A Spirit Blade soared into the sky; at first glance though plain and unremarkable, it soon transformed upon meeting the wind, undergoing a qualitative change.

One Immortal Feather after another danced, holy and flawless, accompanying the blade radiance, drawing out an aura that severed the myriad ages, incomparably huge, stretching tens of thousands of li.

And obviously, this was still not a true Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon appearing, but merely a manifestation of a Qi mechanism.

But even so, it was eternally sharp through the myriad ages, releasing an undying will and Killing Intent, severing the ancient vast sky.

This was inevitably an existence in this Forbidden Zone awakening, crossing out a strand of Supreme Dao Principles, wanting to cut off Wu Shi's suppression and killing of that Holy Spirit.

"Ling Huang?!"

A demonic sound transmitted from Taichu Ancient Mine, recognizing this Forbidden Zone existence who acted.

"It is him, likewise a Holy Spirit formed from Innate Essence Qi, a clansman seen only once in millions of years, wanting to save him once."

Another person in the ancient mine responded, revealing the reason for Ling Huang's action.

And the Other Forbidden Zones, such as Busianshan, Reincarnation Sea, etc., likewise transmitted powerful Divine Sense.

However, even Busianshan's Stone Emperor had no intention of acting.

All these Divine Sense merely captured the battle Qi mechanism of Wu Shi and the Holy Spirit; more so they wanted to probe Wu Shi's depth.

In fact.

These years, since Wu Shi began crossing the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven Great Calamity, there have occasionally been mysterious killing strikes mixed in the gaps of the Thunder Tribulation, and all severed the Qi mechanism, fundamentally impossible to trace their source.

To be targeted by Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings' interference this early, his encounter can also be said to be rarely seen since ancient times.

But these can only be said to have brought him a bit of trouble; not to mention the Deceiving Heaven Array Pattern, even with his self-created Wu Shi Secret Technique, it is enough to deal with these Supreme-Level Killing Strikes.

Once, twice, three times, four times; in the end the Various Supreme Beings all chose to let go.

But now the era is indeed different; there are hardly any Supremes with insufficient lifespan who urgently need to appear, because those kinds of Supremes from the past have already been slain by Holy Emperor Gu Xuan and the Void Great Emperor.

Moreover, the Immortal Path is approaching, and the various Supremes are unwilling to create complications.

Being able to act to interfere and stop this powerful Human Race member's tribulation would be best.

If they cannot stop it, then so be it; as long as they continue to hibernate, letting him become an Emperor is fine, it will not affect their Immortal Path a hundred thousand years from now too much.

Now, through this battle with the Holy Spirit, the various Supremes can also roughly perceive that although Wu Shi is merely about to achieve the Dao, his combat power is already not much weaker than an Emperor-level expert.

Such a person is truly strong to an outrageous degree!

They have already seen that Wu Shi has an extremely high probability of proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, and his achievements will be limitless!

However, even so, the Spirit Emperor of the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone still acted.

As a former Prover of the Dao, he naturally has his own invincible Dao Heart, and his clansmen are truly far too few, so his acting is also understandable.

It can be said that the Spirit Emperor's rescue had already reached a certain extreme, but he still did not anticipate Wu Shi's mighty power!

The Spirit Blade he unleashed was still halfway there, yet that Holy Spirit male had already been suppressed and killed, turning into flying ash.

"Hmph!"

From within the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone came a cold voice, containing full indignation.

But the Spirit Emperor ultimately still gave up on attacking Wu Shi, because this had completely lost its meaning.

That Spirit Blade formed of Dao Principles stopped midway, turning into light rain and returning to the Forbidden Zone.

……

In the starry sky above the Central Plains Land, that Holy Spirit thoroughly perished.

This moment.

Heaven and Earth both gave birth to a response; thunder rumbled unceasingly, the void gave birth to vast lightning, long and vast like a star system, with order white lotuses fluttering down everywhere, a grieving intent pervading.

Simultaneously, from that place where the Holy Spirit fell, in the darkness came countless grand resentments, like they were transformed from Heavenly Principles, yet also like some kind of mysterious curse.

All of these, without exception, headed straight for Wu Shi.

Of course, the ordinary cultivators below naturally could not perceive this scene.

Only those who have reached Wu Shi's current realm can perceive this Heavenly Resentment after slaying a Holy Spirit.

If it were an ordinary Quasi-Emperor, they might truly fall prey to this mysterious curse's Dao, from then on unable to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, cultivation difficult to advance, and even fail and die in a future barrier breakthrough.

So this is the so-called "Heavenly Condemnation"?

Wu Shi understood in his heart, and then a Forbidden Secret Technique blasted out, shattering all these intangible Principles' resentments completely, not a single one touching his body.

In fact, this method of his using Emperor Power to dissolve Heavenly Condemnation, many Human Race Great Emperors of the past have achieved.

For example, the Taiyin Human Emperor, the Ruthless Great Emperor, and so on.

It is just that the slight difference is, Wu Shi has not yet proven the Dao, yet has already done so.
