Chapter 110: A Chance to Clear the Prohibited Zones
Chapter 110: A Chance to Clear the Prohibited Zones
Shao Hua refined the Sovereign Essences left behind by the four Sovereigns and casually took possession of the Desolate Pagoda, her face breaking into a captivating smile.
The Divine Ruins Sovereign was quite courteous. She had previously planned to search for the Desolate Pagoda in the Divine Ruins, but it was well hidden. Now, it had come to her of its own accord.
It's worth noting that the Desolate Pagoda hadn't left because it immediately recognized Shao Hua. Instead, she had been suppressing it all along, preventing it from escaping.
This ancient pagoda had long become a sentient being, and if it had run away, it would have been difficult to find.
In other words, Shao Hua hadn't used her full strength against the four Sovereigns. Throughout the battle, one of her hands had been pressing down on the Desolate Pagoda.
Those four were merely extras.
"Let's end this here." Shao Hua raised her hand, and another Immortal Artifact landed in her grasp. The Immortal Bell resonated, its sound echoing through the cosmos.
Her gaze pierced through the depths of space, spotting the Eternal Heaven Sovereign, who had merged with the Heaven-Piercing Obsidian Treasure, attempting to escape. She immediately launched the two Immortal Artifacts in her hands, suppressing him.
"Boom!!"
However, Shao Hua hadn't anticipated that the Heaven-Piercing Obsidian Treasure would be so decisive and ruthless. It self-destructed to break free from the suppression of the Immortal Bell and the Desolate Pagoda, cracking again just after transforming into an Immortal Artifact.
"The Eternal Heaven Sovereign is in serious trouble, but your commotion woke him up, and he turned and ran. I couldn't stop him", the Yin Body said helplessly.
She wasn't the main body and couldn't withstand the Immortal Artifacts bare-handed; she could only contend with ordinary Emperors.
Her confidence in facing the Eternal Heaven Sovereign came from the special properties of the Feathered Transformation Banner, which could resist the Heaven-Piercing Obsidian Treasure. She had planned to hold him off until the main body arrived, but an unexpected situation occurred.
The deity of the Heaven-Piercing Obsidian Treasure had initially been suppressed by the frenzied Eternal Heaven Sovereign, but as it transformed into an Immortal Artifact, it naturally refused to be occupied.
Thus, it erupted into conflict with the Eternal Heaven Sovereign's soul, leading to internal strife and nearly causing the Immortal Artifact to explode.
In the end, both the deity of the Obsidian Treasure and the Eternal Heaven Sovereign were stunned by Shao Hua's world-shaking combat prowess. Realizing the situation was dire, they snapped out of the joy of becoming Immortal and hastily retreated.
The cost was additional cracks in the Heaven-Piercing Obsidian Treasure and the Immortal deity of the Eternal Heaven Sovereign likely falling into a confused state.
As for the avatar of the Immortal Heaven Emperor, it had already been beheaded by Shao Hua's Solar Body.
If you're not up to it, don't blame the Immortal Artifact for being ineffective.
The old Immortal Heaven Emperor had been hiding deep within, so Shao Hua decided to crush his confidence and corrupt his Dao heart in the most direct way possible.
Previously, he had failed in his sneak attack, and even after 50,000 years, his avatar still couldn't hold its own in a direct confrontation!
Ji Xukong had also resolved his battle. The two Sovereigns from the Cycle Sea had been in the process of extreme transcendence for too long and were already injured from their previous battle with the Hell Suppressing Emperor.
With Xiao Zicheng's assistance, the two Sovereigns were bloodied before the Imperial Mirror.
The Sovereign from Immortal Mountain suffered the most tragic fate. He had intended to take advantage of everyone's preoccupation to devour living beings and repair his Immortal Platform, but he was forcibly stopped by a fully evolved Holy Spirit.
What he didn't expect was that the Holy Spirit would turn into two, and then a pale-faced, red-eyed figure would appear.
Emperor Hengyu, along with two fully evolved Holy Spirits, was fighting against him alone!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Jiang Hengyu went berserk, his moves expansive and forceful, as if venting his anger and proving himself.
He had been waiting for this day for over 20,000 years, having never fought anyone since his enlightenment!
Moreover, he had just been ambushed and pursued by the Divine Ruins Sovereign with an Immortal Artifact, his heart filled with rage. He immediately transcended to the extreme and engaged in a fierce battle.
Lin Dong and Xiao Yan were left speechless, then quickly joined the fray.
The Sovereign from Immortal Mountain died with a sense of injustice, cursing, "F*ck you, Hengyu! You're dead!"
"Ha ha ha, who dares to say I can't do it?!"
Jiang Hengyu paid no heed to the curses, laughing like a child of over 20,000 years old. Future generations would surely remember his great achievements:
Emperor Hengyu, not for Immortality but to protect all beings, angrily slew the Sovereign of Immortal Mountain.
The deceased being was non-human, and upon death, its true form filled the starry sky. Jiang Hengyu twisted his mouth and declared he would use its kidneys to make wine.
Shao Hua couldn't help but facepalm; this kid was truly beyond saving.
In contrast, Ji Xukong was very composed, almost the opposite of Jiang Hengyu.
One had an ordinary appearance, steady and reserved, while the other looked incredibly heroic and graceful.
Not long after, Ji Xukong, Jiang Hengyu, and the three Holy Spirits gathered the battlefield, slightly recovering, and then all came to Shao Hua's side.
All of them were injured, especially Ji Xukong, who had fought very hard, likely losing years from his first life and possibly not living past 10,000 years.
However, this was still much better than his original fate. Taking an Immortal Elixir would ensure a second life.
The three Holy Spirits were also in rough shape, having fought against transcended Sovereigns, which was not an easy task. Their injuries were severe, but their robust vitality meant it wasn't a major issue.
In truth, the one with the biggest problem was Shao Hua.
The five of them stood together, all looking at Shao Hua.
Shao Hua knew what they were thinking and didn't hesitate. She pointed toward the Big Dipper and said, "Since things have come to this, several Prohibited Zones will be eliminated from the world today!"
The Divine Ruins and Immortal Mountain had practically emptied out, with hardly a few stragglers left behind.
The Immortal Graveyard might have a few more, but certainly not many.
“The battle isn’t over; we must stabilize the Life-Prohibited Zone!” Jiang Hengyu’s spirits soared. He hadn’t even exited his state of utmost transcendence, waiting for Shao Hua’s command.
Killing just one Sovereign didn’t align with the grandeur of Emperor Hengyu.
Ji Xukong’s eyes flashed with a keen light, the Imperial Mirror in his hand becoming even more brilliant. If necessary, he was willing to sacrifice his imperial life to pave a peaceful path for future generations!
The Three Perfect Bodies were brimming with fervor, their golden blood qi merging into a single, unyielding force, unafraid of any foe.
The six of them moved together, their momentum shaking heaven and earth. There was no attempt to conceal themselves; a radiant golden path led straight to the Big Dipper Star Region.
Shao Hua finally set foot on the golden path she had longed for once again.
The various races along the way trembled, kneeling to the ground as they watched them depart.
This was a terrifying lineup: an unrivaled Heavenly Emperor, two Great Emperors, and three Perfect Bodies, all traveling together. Just a glance at them was enough to leave one in awe.
“Good heavens, the Eastern Emperor lives, Emperor Hengyu reappears, Ji Xukong has achieved the Way, and three Perfect Bodies are among them. It’s like a return to the age of myths!”
“The direction they are heading is the Big Dipper Star Region. What are they going to do there? Could it be...” Some were still marveling, while others had already begun to speculate, their hearts racing.
A Great Saint, who happened to encounter this group, raised a crystalline bone fragment and dared to ask, “Dare I ask, Great Emperor, where are you headed?”
In her view, the Eastern Emperor, Emperor Hengyu, and Ji Xukong were all emperors, and the three Perfect Bodies were also emperors. They had all paid a great price to protect the mortal world and suppress the most chaotic and terrifying upheavals.
These were the supreme emperors of the human race!
“Of course, we are going to stabilize the Life-Prohibited Zone,” Jiang Hengyu laughed heartily, always exuding a bold and free-spirited aura.
“This life is for battle alone. Even if we do not return, we must resolve a few of these zones for future generations,” Ji Xukong said calmly.
Shao Hua remained silent, stabilizing her Dao fruit, her combat power gradually reaching its peak.
The Great Saint was filled with fervor, wishing she could join them.
The Life-Prohibited Zones were like towering deities, requiring people to offer sacrifices and reverence. Who dared to show disrespect? Who could conquer them?
But now, someone was truly going to tackle these zones. What a grand spirit, to end the myth of the zones and uproot the ancient forbidden lands!
The entire world was in an uproar, people tense yet filled with anticipation, for this generation might truly achieve it. The lineup was too powerful.
Shao Hua returned to the Big Dipper, overlooking the Eastern Wasteland. Her gaze pierced through the barriers of the zones, first focusing on Immortal Mountain.
In Immortal Mountain, there were originally two Sovereigns. One had already fled, hiding in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
The other, an elderly Sovereign, remained, seated under the Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment, and offered the Black Tortoise Immortal Elixir.
“I have never initiated the Dark Chaos. Can the Eastern Emperor spare my life? If not, please spare the lives of these young ones; they are unrelated to the Stone Emperor and others.”
“Are you betting that I won’t kill you?” Shao Hua gave him a deep look, signaling Ji Xukong to take the Black Tortoise Immortal Elixir, which could grant him another life.
“It seems I’ve bet right. The Eastern Emperor is not one to kill innocents,” the Black Tortoise Sovereign smiled.
Those Sovereigns who had initiated the Dark Chaos and whose hearts had completely fallen, Shao Hua would not hesitate to eliminate.
However, there were a few who had self-severed to break through to the Immortal Path, never having emerged. She wouldn’t judge them all the same.
At least, she could give them a chance.
If they could one day break into the Immortal Domain, these people would be valuable assets.
This was different from the approach of the later Emperor Ye, who had no choice.
In that future, after the two openings of the Immortal Path, those who had not yet emerged could only wait for the next opening a million years later.
So even if they hadn’t initiated the Dark Chaos, the remaining Sovereigns could hardly survive the ages.
In other words, they were all potential threats, and they probably believed it too, which was why they fought to the death against the later Emperor Ye.
Plus, Ye didn’t know how many lives he had left, so he eliminated all potential threats to ensure no future problems.
Shao Hua knew more and had more options.
The Divine Ruins were bathed in brilliant immortal light, with countless auspicious rays. An ancient war chariot emerged, enveloped in boundless chaos energy.
A middle-aged man sat on the chariot, his black hair cascading over his shoulders, his blood qi robust, and his eyes shining like bright lightning.
“I remember you now; you are the Spirit Emperor,” the old Sovereign of Immortal Mountain also looked over. “The Stone Emperor once wanted to invite you to join Immortal Mountain.”
“It’s me,” the Spirit Emperor said.
He was also a Holy Spirit, but not a stone person like the Stone Emperor. Instead, he was formed from a primordial essence, manifesting as a flesh and blood body, and had remained in seclusion in the Divine Ruins, maintaining excellent condition.
“This calamity cannot be avoided,” the Spirit Emperor knew that hiding would likely not save him, preferring to meet his end in glory.
“I will give you a chance, and I will give a chance to those who have never initiated the Dark Chaos,” Shao Hua suddenly said, her voice echoing across the Big Dipper.
