Chapter 126: Undying Mountain Nüwa Slays the Stone Emperor

Undying Mountain, one of the seven great life forbidden zones of the Eastern Wasteland, has no trace of living beings, and no one knows what exists inside.

Even the ancient clans of the Eastern Wasteland with long-standing inheritances dare not lightly set foot in this life forbidden zone.

In the depths of Undying Mountain, the mountain ranges tower like clouds, as if countless swords piercing the heavens, sharp and mighty in momentum.

However, unlike ordinary peaks, these mountain ranges in the depths of Undying Mountain are pitch black as ink, surrounded by strange mist that obscures the specific situation.

Thud thud thud

But today, in the depths of Undying Mountain, a series of clear footsteps sound, carrying a strange rhythm, as if resonating with the whole heaven and earth.

A figure shrouded in Creation Divine Light, sacred and ethereal, strolled leisurely toward the deepest mountain range, completely ignoring the strange surroundings, as if walking in her own courtyard—this was Nüwa.

As she walked, the patterns formed by Creation Divine Light flowed between heaven and earth, hidden in the surrounding void, gradually seeking to envelop the entirety of Undying Mountain.

"Who?"

It seemed to sense Nüwa's method, or perhaps felt some danger; in the deepest mountain range of Undying Mountain, a low voice suddenly rang out, making the whole heaven and earth constantly tremble.

She glanced lightly in the direction the voice came from; Nüwa did not answer, but instead turned her gaze to the surrounding mountain ranges.

In this dark, strange mountain range, true living creatures rarely appear; instead, stone people, stone birds, stone beasts, and the like live here as if they were true living beings.

These are all Holy Spirits, but it is obvious they are Holy Spirits born without achieving true perfection; they are innately deficient, and their strength is not particularly strong.

Throughout the depths of the mountain ranges of Undying Mountain, it is like a kingdom of Holy Spirits.

Looking at these Holy Spirits, divine light flowed in Nüwa's eyes; the information about the Stone Person Path contained in the inheritance she received from her elder brother surfaced in her mind, and she suddenly developed great interest in this place.

"The elder brother studying Holy Spirits and the Stone Person Path on Undying Mountain is just right; I also need to comprehend the Way of Holy Spirits, grasp the mysteries of the Stone Person Path, perfect my Red Dust Immortal Path—this place can serve as a dojo for my brother and me."

With this thought arising in her heart, Nüwa's gaze toward the depths of Undying Mountain instantly changed.

"Impudent!"

Seemingly angered by Nüwa's disregard for his words, a cold shout rang from the depths of Undying Mountain, followed by an extreme terrifying pressure that tore apart heaven and earth, making the entire void seem on the verge of direct destruction.

This is the true supreme might, far surpassing the extreme dao might emitted by an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon by an unknown magnitude.

In an instant, all of Undying Mountain fell silent; every Holy Spirit prostrated on the ground, as if feeling the wrath of their emperor.

However, Nüwa's body flowed with Creation Divine Light, utterly unaffected by this pressure; she continued unhurried toward the depths of Undying Mountain, completely disregarding the pressure.

Boom

Once again ignored by Nüwa, the supreme being in the depths of Undying Mountain could no longer endure.

More importantly, as Nüwa walked, the patterns formed by Creation Divine Light merged into the surrounding void, causing the supreme being within Undying Mountain to feel somewhat uneasy.

In the next moment, a rumbling sound rose; endless Order Divine Light rose from the depths of Undying Mountain, and a towering figure clad in black armor appeared before Nüwa, blocking her path.

That was a heroic man holding a halberd capable of tearing the universe and crushing billions of stars.

The halberd was jet-black and grim, its edge shining bright; it was forged from Dragon Pattern Black Gold, one of the Nine Divine Metals, and is a true Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon.

Simply standing there, the man wielding the halberd exuded supreme arrogance of 'I alone am supreme, who else but me?', as if he were the center of the universe, drawing myriad resonances—he is the Great Emperor who attained the Dao with a perfect Holy Spirit body, Stone Emperor.

However, when Stone Emperor's stance steadied and he clearly saw the ethereal figure shrouded in Creation Divine Light before him, his expression changed dramatically; he spoke uncertainly: "Nüwa? You shouldn't still be alive"

Having said that, he seemed to sense something, and subconsciously muttered: "Reincarnation Seal"

Countless thoughts surged in his mind; Stone Emperor suddenly laughed loudly: "You are not her, you are a brand-new spirit—interesting. I never expected Dark Sovereign's conjecture to actually succeed; you have truly cultivated a spirit."

"A Great Emperor who attained the Dao with a perfect Holy Spirit?"

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared before her, Nüwa paid no heed to his words; instead, she examined him up and down as if inspecting merchandise, with the light of creation flowing in her eyes.

In the next moment, endless wails echoed in Nüwa's heart; her vision seemed to show the bones of billions of living beings, the endless lament of all creatures.

Only then did she realize that the being before her, originally a heaven-born earth-nurtured child favored by heaven and earth, should have been a Holy Spirit blessed by the world's qi, but now was wrapped in endless resentment, completely losing its sacred feeling.

Hum

A flash of cold light crossed Nüwa's eye, making the halberd-wielding man's heart turn cold, giving him an indescribable palpitation.

In the next moment, a bleak voice entered his ear: "You deserve to die!"

"Hahaha"

Stone Emperor came to his senses, inevitably feeling annoyed at his own reaction, then laughed loudly: "Just a mere spirit-medium imperial corpse, you still want to kill me? Even if your past self came here, I would not fear."

Boom

But before his words finished, his vision was completely filled by a crystal-clear, jade-like hand.

An indescribable sense of danger rose in Stone Emperor's heart, making his entire mind and spirit constantly tremble.

Fast!

Too fast!

This palm seemed to transcend time and space, even surpassing the limits of thought.

Stone Emperor never expected the other party to act without saying a word.

Moreover, the power of this strike far exceeded his imagination.

Simple and direct, 'I alone am the only one,' discarding all external things, yet seeming to contain boundless principles and boundless power.

At the same moment, upon seeing that crystal-clear hand, Stone Emperor felt an indescribable sensation, as if he beheld the future path of the Holy Spirits.

Clang!

However, under the intense sense of danger, he had no time to think much; almost instinctively he raised his Dragon Pattern Black Gold Halberd, carrying the terrifying edge that could crush myriad ages and shatter spacetime, and brought it down upon that jade-like hand.

Boom

An indescribable roaring sound rang out, instantly shaking the entire universe.

In an instant, heaven and earth were torn apart, the void destroyed, the Great Dao's laws thrown into chaos, the world's qi surged; Undying Mountain, this life forbidden zone, and even the star field where the Northern Dipper Ancient Star resides were about to shatter directly.

At the critical moment, strands of Creation Divine Light rose, arranged according to mysterious trajectories, directly enveloping the entirety of Undying Mountain, forming a Supreme Emperor Formation.

Upon the Imperial Formation, dragon and serpent phantoms swirled, forming a gigantic Taiji Diagram, as if manifesting the Great Dao Yin Yang, containing the world's most essential Dao mysteries; all aftermath was dissipated, causing no effect on the external heaven and earth.

At the same time, the Imperial Formation emitted endless divine light, completely sealing Undying Mountain, as if forming a world of the Imperial Formation, blocking outside sight.

However, even so, that terrifyingly vast surge instantly swept across the whole universe, awakening one slumbering powerhouse after another.

Ancient Forbidden Zone, Primordial Ancient Mine, Sea of Reincarnation, Immortal Mausoleum, Divine Ruins, Bury-Heaven Island.

The supremes of each life forbidden zone awakened, and subconsciously turned their gaze to the Undying Mountain shrouded by the Emperor of Heaven Formation.

"What happened?"

"How did a supreme battle occur on the Undying Mountain?"

"Who is it?"

Wave after wave of powerful divine sense swept across the universe, causing all living beings' hearts and spirits to tremble.

Especially the quasi-emperor-level experts scattered throughout the universe were now trembling with fear.

They discovered for the first time that there were so many terrifyingly powerful experts in the universe, completely overturning their worldview.

However, what puzzled the supremes of the major life forbidden zones was that after merely erupting once with supreme might, the Undying Mountain fell silent, with no further movement.

On the Undying Mountain, the Emperor of Heaven Formation circulated, emitting a heart-pounding aura that concealed everything inside, making it impossible to see the specific situation.

Inside the Undying Mountain.

The Stone Emperor gazed vacantly at the holy figure not far away, shrouded in creation divine light, his tone somewhat dazed as he said: "You too have taken the Holy Spirit Path? And, innovating, you have walked the true Holy Spirit Immortal Path?"

"This is not the Holy Spirit Path."

A clear, elegant voice sounded; Nüwa glanced at the other and lightly said: "This is the Stone Person Path."

In fact, Nüwa had not truly walked the Stone Person Path; her Mortal Dust Immortal Path was formed after integrating part of the Stone Person Path's Dao insight and this world's system, not counting as a true Stone Person, but there was no need to explain this to the person before her.

"Stone Person Path, Stone Person Path. Is this the road after the Holy Spirit?"

Murmurs sounded continuously; the Stone Emperor seemed to think of something, a flash of excitement crossing his face as he said: "You have found the road after the Great Emperor—must one not enter the Immortal Ascension Path, and can one become an immortal amidst the mortal dust?"

Feeling the other's now resolute heart for the Dao, Nüwa pondered a moment and calmly nodded.

"I see. Hahaha. Wrong, wrong. Hahaha."

From the Stone Emperor's mouth came a mournful great laugh; this Nüwa Dao companion's performance seemed to turn his countless ages of waiting and perseverance into a joke.

Before his words faded, a cracking sound rang out; the imperial halberd forged from dragon-pattern black gold in his hand shattered directly into two halves.

At the same time, his brow also shattered directly, leaving a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

That strike was too fast; he had no time to block it.

More importantly, he had not yet had the chance to reach ultimate sublimation, retrieve his past Dao fruit, or display his full strength.

But unfortunately, that strike was not only extremely fast, its power was unimaginably great, directly shattering his immortal platform and wearing away his primordial spirit and Dao, leaving him no chance even for ultimate sublimation.

Even with too much reluctance and helplessness in his heart, the Stone Emperor was powerless to turn the tide.

In the next moment, the light in his eyes completely dimmed, his life force dissipated, leaving only a nearly intact holy spirit corpse standing in place, yet devoid of its own spirit.

Seeing this, Nüwa stepped forward, observed for a moment, and murmured softly: "The complete holy spirit Dao-verifying Great Emperor's body should be of some help to my elder brother's research on the Holy Spirit Path, right?"

Saying this, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her face, as if brightening the whole heaven and earth by a degree.

Just then, Nüwa seemed to sense something; the smile on her face instantly vanished, and she looked directly toward the depths of the Undying Mountain.

Deep within the Undying Mountain, an ancient supreme's expression changed, and cold sweat instantly appeared.

Outside the Jade Pool.

Fuxi's dragon stele's light flowed; Fengyi united his heart and spirit with the deity within, as if establishing some connection with the emperor formation atop the Undying Mountain, his vision becoming extraordinarily clear, easily seeing the interior of the Undying Mountain and witnessing how the Stone Emperor was slain.

At that moment, his complexion also shifted slightly, and the only thought in his mind was: "The gap between a Great Emperor who walks the Mortal Dust Immortal Path and an ordinary supreme is actually this huge!"
