Chapter 129
In the vast, boundless star domain, cold and darkness are the eternal themes.
And Wushi Great Emperor sat cross-legged among them; before him, a spiritual mark that seemed like light yet like shadow rose and fell.
Taking this mark as the center, rune after rune flew up, brilliant and awe-inspiring, yet also like faint grass-ash threads, spreading toward the deep parts of the universe.
Obviously.
He was using a supreme secret technique to track the location of a certain secret realm.
Unknown how much time passed, Wushi's eyes suddenly snapped open.
So many years of waiting and preparation had ultimately arrived at this moment, letting him find the Di Fu organization.
And at almost the same instant.
In a secret realm deep in the universe, the two Supremes who had self-sealed within Immortal Source simultaneously awoke, sensing a trace of abnormality.
And not only that.
There was also a third Supreme in the secret realm, his whole body wreathed in Chaos Light, fused into a Heaven-Reaching Dark Treasure, who likewise opened his eyes, also feeling a trace of ill omen.
This was the innate spiritual awareness they possessed as Supreme-level powerhouses.
And the next moment.
In the star sea of the outside world, a Golden Light Avenue lit up, Immortal Phoenixes danced, True Dragons coiled, and Wushi Great Emperor strode upon it.
Stars flickered; one star domain after another receded past him. He did not conceal his aura, alarming all major powers in the starry sky, and proceeded toward that Calamity Land.
At this moment, across the Six Harmonies and Eight Wastelands, all Saints sensed the Current Era Great Emperor's aura through the Heavenly Dao, and none were not shaken; all were awestruck.
"This... is Wushi Great Emperor manifesting in the world; where is he going?"
"Heavens, so this is a Great Emperor — one can only look up, impossible to imagine his power..." a newly advanced Saint-realm cultivator of recent years exclaimed in awe.
"I saw it — the imperial weapon on the Great Emperor's shoulder, that's the Chaos Square Vessel... Could it be that Wushi Great Emperor is the reincarnation body of the Holy Emperor of old?!"
Someone else also exclaimed in amazement, unable to help putting forward such a speculation.
Such a speculation immediately caused a sensation in the place where it arose, instantly plunging people into shock and doubt, and there were no few who became adherents.
Of course, it also immediately drew even more opposition.
"Impossible, this is baseless, and doesn't Wushi Great Emperor have the Wushi Bell?!"
Opinions were divided.
Finally.
Wushi arrived at a Void Land in the Universe Borderlands.
This place was very ordinary, completely without a shred of specialness — a few meteorites, and in the distance several star ruins floated.
In the entire vast Great Universe, places like this could be said to be endless, without any distinction.
Without clues, even a Great Emperor wanting to find this place would be unlikely.
"Boom!"
Wushi struck out with one punch, instantly blasting open that Hun Dun Mi Jing.
Even with a Peerless Forbidden Zone Grand Array, it could not block this strike of his; Great Dao Array Patterns shattered, revealing the vast, boundless Dark Soil World within the secret realm.
This resembled another universe; death was the eternal theme, black land stretched endlessly, and countless corpses could be faintly seen in the strata — eerie and awe-inspiring.
Terrifying Death Qi also spread out; ordinary cultivators entering would turn to blood and bone upon contact with a single drop.
Di Fu!
The world shook — Wushi Great Emperor is going to directly confront this most mysterious Forbidden Zone since ancient times?!
This news was too explosive; it was absolutely the most world-shaking major event in tens of thousands of years, comparable to the Holy Emperor and Void Great Emperor quelling the Dark Turmoil back then.
For all the world knows, over a thousand years ago, right after Wushi Great Emperor proved the Dao, Di Fu vanished from the world — clearly there is great Cause and Effect between the two.
Across the universe, countless Supreme Races and major powers opened their Source Heaven Divine Eyes or Observe Heaven Divine Arrays, wanting to capture the subsequent developments.
The next instant.
"Rumble—!"
Three terrifying figures soared into the sky from the Hun Dun Mi Jing.
The first, clad in Black Nether Iron Battle Armor flowing with black light, even his skull covered by a black Nether Iron Helmet — only eyes and mouth exposed, not a hair visible, true appearance impossible to see.
The second, a curly-bearded giant, holding the No Arrow Divine Bow, extremely tall and powerfully built, and a bizarre aura pervaded his body, seeming like Corpse Qi yet also like Death Qi, weathered and eerie to the extreme.
The third, his whole body wreathed in Chaos Light, shaped like a monster, a Heaven-Reaching Dark Treasure rising and falling above his head, Immortal Light coiling, aura unrivaled in the world.
At this moment, terrifying Supreme pressure surged, making this heaven and earth seem unstable.
This is the prestige of Supremes — as long as Blood Qi surges, all living beings must tremble; a slight release of Qi mechanism, and those powerful Yin Generals below would shatter — merely the three of them did not do so.
"Wushi?"
The Emperor wearing Nether Iron Battle Armor revealed shock and suspicion; his pupils like two blade edges, he called out coldly and dimly, full of bewilderment.
In fact.
Not only him — the other two Supremes' hearts were also full of doubt.
How could they actually have been found by Wushi?!
Back then, the three of them joined forces, together activating the Heaven-Reaching Dark Treasure, bringing the core Dark Soil World here.
In theory, even if the opponent also had an Immortal Artifact, it would be impossible to track them — they had absolute confidence in this!
But precisely, this confidence was shattered at this moment, letting Wushi truly come knocking.
However, the next moment, they understood the reason.
For they sensed that in the black Dark Soil below, inside the body of a Quasi-Emperor-level Yin General, a spiritual brand lit up, faintly having an extremely fine spider-thread connection with some mark inside Wushi's body.
"This..."
In the eyes of the Three Supremes, light blazed, some disbelief — clearly the Heaven-Reaching Dark Treasure had previously severed all Qi mechanisms!
But it was obvious that this spiritual brand was by no means an ordinary Imperial Path secret technique; it was nearly connecting to the Immortal, otherwise it would have been impossible to conceal it from the Tongtian Dark Treasure.
"Chi!"
A powerful Qi mechanism surged out, enveloping that Quasi-Emperor Yin General; in a moment, no blood or bones remained, transforming into a clump of black blood essence.
This was the coiled-bearded man among the Three Supremes acting; he was utterly ruthless, and opening his mouth, he sucked it in, directly swallowing and devouring the blood essence.
The Holy Emperor's weapon?!
The three great experts saw at first glance the Chaos Square Vessel floating above Wu Shi's shoulder, and recognized this Imperial Weapon that had possessed famous prestige for tens of thousands of years.
At this moment, the three could not help but feel a slight shock and doubt in their hearts, and could not help wanting to know how Wu Shi had obtained this Imperial Weapon, or whether the Holy Emperor was still alive and would participate in this battle?
However, as peerless Supremes, even though they had a moment of astonishment at the very beginning, they ultimately calmed down.
Moreover, with a great enemy before them, there was not that much to think about.
"Good, a Wu Shi; ultimately you still managed to find this place, and you are indeed not bad."
The coiled-bearded giant's gaze flowed, calmly watching the Wu Shi before him, speaking with composure.
The other two Supremes were likewise the same; in their gazes was the indifference and calm of ten thousand ages.
The three stood tall in the starry sky, each in a direction, faintly surrounding Wu Shi.
And Wu Shi also had a majestic figure; one person confronting three great Supremes, his aura did not fall short in the slightest.
He knew that the three great Supremes opposite were necessarily those who had besieged his mother Xi Huang in the past, and attempted to seize his father's Great Accomplishment Holy Body true body.
Because he had once seen that corner of light and shadow recorded by the Xi Huang Pagoda; although the other party's features were blocked by a certain Dao Principle, that kind of Qi mechanism would not be mistaken.
Enemies meeting, the eyes turn especially red.
There was nothing to say; they didn't even go so far as to ask the other party's name and title.
Wu Shi pressed a palm forward, slow but powerful; this star domain instantly saw wind and thunder arise, gods and demons roar; such a casual strike made heaven and earth lose color, sun and moon lose light!
Although it was merely one move, it enveloped the two Supremes opposite.
Simultaneously, the Chaos Square Vessel on his shoulder rushed into the sky, heading toward the Tongtian Dark Treasure and the third Supreme within it, killing towards them.
This was actually intending to fight one against three, dueling the three Imperial Path experts of Di Fu; his domineering bearing as a Current Era Great Emperor was undoubtedly revealed!
Of course.
This was also because the three opponents seemed to be activating a secret technique, wanting to hook the great array in Di Fu over; that was why Wu Shi directly acted.
A god war, just like that, swiftly exploded open!
"Boom!"
Both Supremes raised their hands to block; one held a black war halberd, the other swung the No Arrow bowstring.
Surging Dao Principles great explosion; both flew horizontally, traces of blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths, smashing into the Dark Soil World below, causing large swathes of ancient buildings to collapse along with them.
As for Wu Shi, he merely swayed slightly, then stood firm.
As for the third Supreme, shaped like a monster, he sacrificed the Tongtian Dark Treasure above his head, rushing skyward, clashing evenly once with that Chaos Square Vessel of immense weight.
"Clang!"
The Tongtian Dark Treasure trembled violently, flying back down, bringing its owner — that monster — stumbling back in retreat; even the chaos light showed some signs of dispersing.
He revealed a look of shock, unable to believe that he, together with the near-Immortal Tongtian Dark Treasure, was actually defeated by the Holy Emperor weapon activated by Wu Shi!
This Chaos Square Vessel definitely has something strange about it!
The monster's heart pounded violently; he perceived something was wrong, yet could not fathom it for the moment.
This was an incomparably shocking scene, alarming all directions of the universe!
Merely a single exchange, and the Wushi Great Emperor repelled three enemies, even injuring the opposition!
Strong as the three Ancients of Di Fu, they were also this bedraggled, shocking people.
These were all formerly the supreme existences who ruled all living beings; Di Fu is the destination of all spirits — this is absolutely not just empty talk, but now they actually had a match, causing the distant Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals to instantly bristle with fear, all their hearts turning cold.
And in the Beidou Star's several great Life Forbidden Zones, Supremes had long since awakened, sending out supreme divine senses, paying attention to this shocking great battle under this starry sky.
"Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, truly extraordinary, comparable to the Chaos Body of the past."
From the Reincarnation Sea Forbidden Zone came an incomparably ancient voice, filled with emotion, and seemingly also carrying a trace of covetousness.
"That person's Imperial Weapon has appeared; could it be that he is really still alive?!"
In the other Forbidden Zones, Supremes naturally also noticed the Chaos Square Vessel flying out from Wu Shi's shoulder, recognized this as Gu Xuan's weapon, and felt shock and doubt.
"Di Fu has trouble this time; they were actually found by Wu Shi; could it be that the Tongtian Immortal Treasure has a flaw?"
In the Immortal Mausoleum Forbidden Zone, an ancient shore old Daoist murmured to himself in the Immortal Source, and his gaze flickered, as if pondering something.
More Supremes recognized the identity of that Imperial Path expert wearing Dark Iron Battle Armor in Di Fu.
"Zhen Yu Huang! Truly still here; the last time we sat and discussed the Dao was already five hundred thousand years ago."
And likewise, that coiled-bearded giant holding the No Arrow Divine Bow was also recognized by Supremes.
"Shi Huang!"
"From corpse to Emperor; this has commonalities with the Ming Huang's path; it can also be called defying heaven, only unknown how much of his Primordial Spirit can be retained..."
As for Di Fu's third Supreme — that monster enveloped in chaos light and merged with the Tongtian Dark Treasure — only two or three Supremes knew his background, and he had no specific title.
Perhaps he could be called the Chaos Monster.
It is the heart's blood of generations of Di Fu people; they searched the universe for all kinds of true blood, wanting to condense a Chaos Body, ten thousand bloods returning to one, to see the Immortal Spirit true body.
This was also an attempt for the Immortal Path; only its process was filled with all kinds of cruelty and slaughter.
In the end, although the ten thousand bloods were not complete, it still ultimately created such a monster, not weaker than a Forbidden Zone Supreme, and even combat power faintly surpassed it.
Zhen Yu Huang, Shi Huang, and the Chaos Monster — three in total — are the rulers of Di Fu today.
Obviously, compared to the heyday of the past, this counts as a kind of decline.
All things have rise and fall; even Life Forbidden Zones cannot escape this law.
Even so, Di Fu is not something just anyone can touch; it is a pity they ran into the Wushi Great Emperor.
In the battlefield, the great battle continues.
After suffering setbacks, the Three Supremes did not feel too much dejection.
Because they had not undergone Extreme Sublimation, being at a disadvantage in this collision of Emperor Power was something they had anticipated long before.
The next moment.
Brilliance flashed around Zhen Yu Huang, and his injuries were already healed.
This is an incomparably ancient and powerful existence, his background is shockingly great; he might even be a certain Tian Zun from the Mythological Era, but he does not speak of it, and few in the world know.
Afterward, he swung the Dragon Pattern Black Gold War Halberd, directly hacking down at Wu Shi; black light sliced through the Eternal, illuminating the Star River!
Amidst the clanging sounds, profound and unfathomable Sealing Laws bloomed, silently and without a trace, yet they could lock the Dao power circulation of an Emperor-level Expert, terrifying beyond measure.
And the Corpse Emperor in the other direction also acted simultaneously.
Hum hum hum...
The Wu Arrow's bowstring trembled again; he pulled it eight times in succession.
The first seven times were all feints, emitting Great Dao Demon Sound; even Wu Shi felt a splitting headache, as if his soul would shatter.
But the eighth time, a strand of Corpse Qi manifested, descending from the Heavens, so fast it almost transcended the restrictions of time and space, suppressing and killing toward Wu Shi.
That was no ordinary arrow feather, but a vast waterfall, boundlessly magnificent, stretching who knows how many tens of thousands of li, submerging this entire Xing Kong.
Corpse to Emperor; the Corpse Emperor's body still contained Death Qi, more magnificent than the Star River; a Quasi-Emperor touching a single drop would turn into pus and blood, corpses and bones gone, and now endless Death Qi assaulted Wu Shi.
The two Imperial Path Experts both shone with brilliant divine light all over, unleashing their killing moves.
Even if they had not yet undergone Extreme Sublimation, if they struck Wu Shi, it would be enough to severely wound him, even take away more than half his life.
And the Wushi Great Emperor let out a long roar; the Wushi Bell soared into the sky, several Bell Waves shook out, scattering that boundless Corpse Qi, not a single drop touching him.
And within his long roar, he also struck out a mysterious Rune; that was the "No" Character Secret Technique, shattering Zhen Yu Huang's Sealing Laws.
Then even more, an Imperial Fist blasted out, using his physical body to directly clash head-on with Zhen Yu Huang's Dragon Pattern Black Gold War Halberd.
"Boom rumble rumble!"
A great destruction occurred in this Xing Kong; various Emperor Dao laws collided, surging to the extreme.
Meteorites within endless surrounding distances turned to powder/dust; Di Fu in the Hun Dun Mi Jing also suffered a great shock; unknown how many Ancient Steles turned to dust, Ancient Buildings collapsed.
The third Supreme, also that Imperial Path Monster, was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Chaos Square Vessel, retreating staggeringly in succession, coughing blood from his mouth.
Such a battle situation left all observers from the Outside World momentarily surprised to the point of speechlessness.
This lifetime's Human Race Great Emperor is truly strong to an outrageous degree; fighting one against three, he actually gained the upper hand.
The Three Supremes of Di Fu glanced at each other; in an instant Divine Sense flowed, making a certain decision.
