Chapter 143

The Death World, a special realm where myriad worlds converge, once the center of all heavens and myriad worlds, can be described as boundlessly vast.

However, after an Imperial War countless ages ago, the entire Death World was utterly ruined, and its position as the center of myriad worlds was taken over by the Primordial Heavenly Realm.

At the deepest part of the Death World, the former center of the Imperial War, lies a battlefield wasteland.

Even after countless ages, the battle's aftermath here has not fully subsided—time and space are chaotic, rules disordered, endless blood-colored lightning fills heaven and earth, splitting the firmament, covering the universe, obliterating endless legal order, making this a forbidden zone for all living beings.

Even a primordial god–level powerhouse entering this region will face many deadly hazards; a moment's carelessness can lead to eternal ruin.

Yet, at the very center of this chaotic battlefield, amidst a hazy divine light, stands an ancient stone stele that seems to support heaven, earth, and the universe.

The stele pierces the whole of heaven and earth, exuding a mighty aura that suppresses the four extremes and eight wildernesses, yet bears no characters or carvings—like a wordless stele.

At this moment, a figure dances before the wordless stele, continually striking it with his palms.

Upon close observation, one would see that this continually dancing figure is a stone-bodied being, his aura flawless and complete—indeed a truly perfected Stone King born into the world.

Each of his strikes causes the stele to erupt with a terrifying aura, revealing various ancient characters and carvings that contain the principles of the Great Dao.

Clearly, this Stone King is using this method to activate the carvings on the stele, contemplating the insights of the Great Dao they contain.

But just then, the Stone King seemed to sense something; he suddenly stopped his motion, lifted his head to gaze into the distance, and revealed a face identical to that of Hongjun.

This Stone King is the true form of the false god Hongjun—Stone King Hongjun; the false god Hongjun is merely a strand of his divine sense combined with an otherworldly experiment.

Stone King Hongjun's stone eyes burst forth with brilliant divine light, penetrating spacetime and shattering all illusion.

But the next moment, before his eyes, an illusory omen seemed to flow, obscuring part of the view.

"Interesting!"

A low voice sounded, and Stone King Hongjun's face showed a faint smile as he said: "No wonder you could erase that strand of my divine sense."

Having said that, he slowly withdrew his gaze and once again looked at the wordless stele before him.

For him now, comprehending the imperial Dao principles contained in the stele before him, so as to truly break through as a king and become an emperor, is the most crucial matter.

A mere strand of divine sense is not worth interrupting his cultivation path.

Still, it is his own divine sense; after he finishes his contemplation, he will not hesitate to act and erase that ignorant fellow.

With thoughts turning in his mind, Stone King Hongjun continued to strike the wordless stele before him, contemplating the Great Dao principles continually manifesting upon it.

The Longevity Realm, in the extramundane void.

Feng Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a glint of realization in his eyes, understanding that his defeat of the false god Hongjun and sealing him in the Luo Book might have stirred Stone King Hongjun.

"Stone King Hongjun, Stone King Zixiao"

These two names rose in his mind, and Feng Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

This Stone King, seeking to explore the imperial path, divided himself via the Yin-Yang Great Dao into two Stone Kings—Hongjun and Zixiao—hoping to ultimately unite the twin kings and attain the emperor's realm.

Once the two bodies merge, even among sovereigns he can be considered one of the utmost apex existences.

Moreover, this Stone King has good ties with the otherworld; he once joined forces to deal with the sovereigns of Kyushu, blocked Pangu who sought to rescue the primordial dragon, and even the curse of the Heaven-defying clan is inseparable from him—making him a great enemy of Kyushu.

"Alas, the gap in strength between Kyushu and the otherworld is too great; I must quickly improve my cultivation!"

With thoughts turning in his mind, after a long while Feng Yi suppressed his thoughts and turned his gaze to two other battlefields.

Shennong's body radiated human Dao light, endless vital breath suffusing heaven and earth, forming a domain of life around him where countless divine flowers blossomed.

Though this scene appears full of life, it actually harbors endless killing intent, firmly confining the otherworld primordial god within.

However, Shennong, after having fallen countless ages ago and only just returned, and with a body that is not his own but that of the Youchao primordial god, though he can exert primordial god power, he is no longer at his peak and can only barely restrain that otherworld primordial god.

Compared to Shennong, the battle between the Ancestral Dragon and another otherworld primordial god occupies an absolute advantage.

He is originally a dragon whose combat power surpasses that of an ordinary primordial god; after undergoing a cycle of decline and rebirth, his realm has risen, and he has gained a new insight into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Great Divine Ability, further boosting his battle prowess.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon activates the Six Paths of Reincarnation Great Divine Ability, directly forming six vast, boundless worlds that envelop the otherworld primordial god, continually wearing down his divine soul.

Even if that otherworld primordial god employs various divine abilities and spells, causing the six worlds to tremble incessantly, he still cannot truly break free from this great divine ability.

Witnessing this, Feng Yi and Tongtian Jiaozhu exchanged a glance, then each proceeded toward the Ancestral Dragon and Shennong respectively.

"Clang!"

Before Tongtian Jiaozhu's figure even appeared, a sword cry that shook spacetime rang out, followed by a surge of boundless killing intent.

The next moment, four swords like heavenly pillars appeared around Shennong and the otherworld primordial god he was fighting; a diagram descended, directly forming a killing array brimming with endless destructive intent.

Endless four-colored sword light appeared—red, azure, black, white intertwined—as the forces of earth, water, wind, and fire combined, forming an extreme destructive mechanism that swept toward the otherworld primordial god.

"The Immortal-Extermination Sword Array has become so terrifying!"

Feeling the array's contained intent of ultimate destruction, Shennong's eyes flashed with astonishment as he softly said: "It is practically the manifestation of the apocalypse, utterly unlike the Immortal-Extermination Sword Array I thought Tongtian Jiaozhu could wield."

Having said that, Shennong unconsciously turned his gaze to those four heavenly-pillar swords and the mysterious diagram, his eyes again flashing with admiration.

"A full set of five primordial god weapons—even more terrifying than ordinary primordial god arms!"

Thinking this, Shennong felt ever more that the mystery of Fuxi, which could cause such a tremendous change in Tongtian Jiaozhu, was profound.

Nevertheless, though his thoughts surged continuously, Shennong's motion did not pause in the slightest; he exercised his divine abilities, joining the assault on the otherworld primordial god alongside the sword array's destructive mechanism.

On the other side, as Feng Yi's figure appeared beside the Ancestral Dragon, his aura shifted, a dragon's roar sounded from within him, and his whole being seemed to transform into a humanoid primordial dragon.

The next moment, a low shout came from his mouth: "Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Instantly, billions of stars trembled, hundreds to thousands of star systems swayed, and the time and space of the extramundane starry void seemed to become disordered.

"Boom"

Feng Yi's Six Paths of Reincarnation Great Divine Ability merged directly with the Ancestral Dragon's; the six worlds turned ceaselessly, the heavens shattered, countless stars turned to dust, and the otherworld primordial god within let out only a single wail before his divine soul was ground to ash.

"Boom—!"

Thunder rumbled, and a magnificent celestial phenomenon appeared in every corner of the Longevity Realm, drawing astonished gazes from all living beings.

This is the omen of a primordial god's fall.

One otherworld primordial god has fallen!

Boundless spiritual energy swept the four directions, filling heaven and earth, making the vital essence of the entire Longevity Realm somewhat more abundant.

Witnessing this, Feng Yi and the Ancestral Dragon simultaneously withdrew their divine abilities.

Just then, the sound of thunder rang out again, and the vision of the primordial god's fall reappeared.

"'Another primordial god from another realm has also fallen!'"

This thought arose in his mind, and Feng Yi unconsciously looked toward the distant Slay-Immortal Sword Formation.

The next moment, the Slay-Immortal Sword Formation dissipated, revealing the figures of Tongtian Jiaozhu and Shennong.

Obviously, under the combined efforts of Tongtian Jiaozhu and Shennong, plus the presence of the Slay-Immortal Sword Formation, that supreme killing formation, the primordial god from another realm could not escape its fate of falling.

"'We have finally eradicated the hidden dangers of Kyushu and the four realms completely!'"

Shennong stepped forward, looked at Feng Yi and the Old Ancestor Dragon, and said softly: 'Next, we can destroy the illusion and let Kyushu return to wholeness!'

"'Indeed, we need to restore Kyushu to wholeness.'"

Feng Yi nodded, but before his words faded, his spiritual sense trembled slightly; the illusory Yin-Yang Bagua swirled in his eyes, and one after another images surfaced in his mind.

"'What's wrong?'"

Sensing the change in Feng Yi's aura, Shennong and the Old Ancestor Dragon both turned their gazes to him.

"'Perhaps a powerful being from another realm has sensed the changes in Kyushu.'"

As his words rang out, amid the surprised gazes of Shennong and the Old Ancestor Dragon, Feng Yi's hands swiftly changed hand seals.

Ding-dong

A lingering zither tone rang out, like the natural Dao melody of heaven and earth, and an ancient, simple and elegant Fuxi zither appeared above Feng Yi's head.

A lofty, mysterious qi emerged from it, flowing between heaven and earth, making Shennong and the Old Ancestor Dragon feel their own insignificance.

"'This is the Dao fruit of Fuxi's past life.'"

This thought arose simultaneously in both of their minds, and they couldn't help but sigh at the might of this Dao friend's past life.

At the same time, unsure if it was an illusion, they faintly sensed from the Fuxi zither another, even more profound qi, as if they saw a blurry figure surrounded by immortal music.

"'Could Fuxi's past life have another identity?'"

This somewhat absurd thought arose in their minds, leaving them both a little doubtful.

The next moment, the qi of the Fuxi zither merged directly with Feng Yi's entire being, making him seem to exist in another dimension, standing upon the river of fate, with an inexplicable illusory charm.

At the same time, as Feng Yi's hand seals changed, an ancient and heavy dragon stele appeared before him, covered with countless flowing trigrams.

Hum

After an unknown amount of time, the dragon stele suddenly brightened, and an illusory Yin-Yang Bagua diagram emerged from it, rapidly expanding, directly merging with the rules of Kyushu and the four realms, forming a special concealment of heavenly secrets.

Crack!

After doing all this, cracks appeared directly on the Fuxi dragon stele, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter, and its light instantly dimmed.

Mm

Feng Yi involuntarily let out a muffled groan, and his aura grew somewhat listless.

At the same time, an inexplicable illusory power wrapped around his side, like a curse, causing an involuntary palpitation deep within.

"'Heavenly Secret backlash!'"

Shennong and the Old Ancestor Dragon felt that illusory and strange power, and their hearts jolted.
