Chapter 136: A Sword Cultivator Through the Ages, the First Immortal Above All Heavens

"You are Donghuang's brother, and you are indeed quite impressive." Stone Sovereign said indifferently, pointing his dragon-patterned halberd at Wushi.

"She thought you could attain the Dao in this life and continue the glory of the three emperors from one family. Unfortunately, that beautiful dream is about to shatter here!"

If he couldn't defeat Donghuang, could he at least not handle his brother?

Moreover, Wushi had been injured by the Undying Heavenly Emperor. There was no reason for him to fear a mere injured Quasi-Nine.

The thought of tormenting Donghuang's brother made his heart race, and his twisted soul felt a great sense of satisfaction.

"Tch, I can tell just by looking at you. You must be some coward who's afraid to show your face because of my sister. Can't handle my sister, so you come to bully me to feel important?" Wushi pointed at Stone Sovereign and sneered.

"If I had attained the Dao, I could kill you with a single move. Even without the Dao, killing you would be like slaughtering a dog!"

Stone Sovereign flew into a rage and attacked with all his might, intent on killing Wushi and seizing the supreme destiny.

At that moment, the pendant around Wushi's neck suddenly shone brightly.

The Skybinding Bangle awakened on its own, and the bracelet's surface, dark as deep space, was dotted with 129,600 white stars that shone brilliantly.

"Sis." Wushi's eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He knew he was safe now.

"A sword cultivator through the ages, the first immortal above all heavens!"

A voice came from within the Skybinding Bangle, shaking the universe and causing all the realms to tremble and rumble, spreading to the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

Stone Sovereign's face darkened. Although he was no longer the ancient emperor of old, he remained the sole ruler, showing no respect to heaven or earth and never bowing to anyone.

He said coldly, "Just a divine spirit of a secret artifact, and you dare to claim immortality? Bring Donghuang here!"

"As you wish."

At that moment, a bell rang from the Beidou Ancient Star Region, shaking the primordial universe. The Immortal Bell sounded, reverberating through the cosmos.

At the same time, a nine-story stone tower rose from the Other Shore, piercing through the void and arriving at the scene. The Immortal Bell and the Desolate Pagoda, two divine artifacts, appeared and took Wushi and Wanqing away.

Facing a Supreme Sovereign, or even a regular emperor, the two of them could still put up a fight, but confronting the Undying Heavenly Emperor with his Dao fruit returned was a different matter entirely.

It wasn't that easy to fight above your rank. A Quasi-Nine couldn't just fight a Heavenly Emperor.

As the Immortal Bell left the Undying Mountain, the Five Fingers Mountain nearby also trembled and suddenly split open, with light shooting into the sky. The Crimson Flame Divine Furnace, array patterns, and talismans carried a primordial spirit away.

"What's happening?"

"That's the means left behind by the Eternal Emperor, Void Emperor, and Chaos Emperor, all awakening!"

"What are they going to do? There doesn't seem to be any dark turmoil to suppress."

People were puzzled. If Donghuang was coming to rescue his brother, why were the means left behind by the other emperors also moving?

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were uneasy, as if they had sensed something significant.

"No, Donghuang, you can't do this!" The primordial spirit of the Undying Daoist struggled inside the Crimson Flame Divine Furnace, but the lid was sealed by the Chaos Talisman and instantly appeared on the battlefield through the void array pattern.

Then, it directly entered the Skybinding Bangle, which was spinning like a black hole.

"Heavenly Emperor, save me!!"

The Undying Daoist let out a final, piercing cry, which then disappeared as he was forcibly refined into a vast divine force, all of which was absorbed by the Skybinding Bangle.

Stone Sovereign heard that clear voice and his expression changed. Instinctively, he swung his black-gold dragon-patterned halberd at the bracelet with all his might.

Suddenly, a slender, fair hand emerged from the bracelet, effortlessly catching the gleaming halberd blade without any sign of effort.

The Skybinding Bangle shrank, returning to its original form as a delicate bracelet, perfectly encircling a snowy wrist.

In the desolate universe, a tall, slender figure stood proudly, ethereal and transcendent. Her green feathered gown fluttered in the windless air, and her long black hair flowed naturally, exuding an indescribable elegance and refinement.

The woman crushed the halberd blade with one hand, glanced sideways, and said calmly, "I'm here. What will you do now?"

"You're not right. You're not the real her. Donghuang is no longer in this world. You're just one of her avatars!"

Stone Sovereign was terrified, then seemed to have discovered a terrible secret. He shouted, trying to reclaim his halberd, but Shaohua stopped him with her other hand, severing it in two.

She picked up the broken halberd, holding it like a divine sword, and slashed down, targeting Stone Sovereign alone.

With a splash, blood shot up three miles high as Stone Sovereign was split in two by his own weapon.

"Ah!!!" Stone Sovereign couldn't help but scream, the pain unimaginable for a royal expert.

"You're too weak. I won't kill you."

Shaohua shook her head. This avatar was different from the others.

This was a true Dao body, capable of drawing on the Dao marks imprinted by her true self in the world, wielding boundless Dao power, and displaying the combat strength of a Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, this wasn't just a remnant of her consciousness. It was a strand of her own primordial spirit that had taken residence.

After so many years, she had overcome the most difficult transformation. She hadn't emerged yet, only continuing her secluded cultivation to resolve some issues.

But dividing a strand of her spirit was no problem.

Shaohua waved her sleeve, sending Stone Sovereign's severed body and broken halberd to the other side of the universe.

In the forbidden border regions sealed by the Immortal Bell and the Desolate Pagoda, Wushi and Wanqing couldn't help but smile.

"I knew Sis would make the best use of everything. Come on, stone man, shall we continue?" Wushi laughed.

"Let me go first. You're too rough. What if you kill me?" Wanqing frowned.

"You. How dare you mock me, a once-ancient emperor, you two unattained ones?"

"Even if you mock me, so what? Come, I'll give you time to reach the ultimate sublimation." Wushi smiled brightly.

"Boom!!!"

The heavens split, and the ghosts and gods cried out. Stone Sovereign, who had been trying to be defiant, was forced to undergo extreme sublimation after a beating from the two of them.

Wushi and Wanqing continued their exhilarating battle.

Shaohua, on the other hand, faced the Undying Heavenly Emperor. Hearing him claim to be invincible in the world, she couldn't help but laugh. "Invincible in the world? What if the enemy comes from the heavens? What will you do then?"

The Undying Heavenly Emperor's lips twitched. This woman truly deserved to die.

"You're just an avatar, and you only have her former power because you sacrificed my faith body's primordial spirit. Do you really think you can stop me?" He said gravely.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor was far more discerning than Stone Sovereign, recognizing the difference in this Dao body. Unlike that mouthy, useless fellow, he didn't think it was just an ordinary avatar.

"Let's see." Shaohua smiled, pointing her fingers like a sword and thrusting forward. Her fingers were crystalline, enveloped in a misty divine glow.

"Hmph, a mere Dao body, and you dare to be so arrogant!" The Undying Heavenly Emperor was taken aback. His opponent was just a Dao body, yet she dared to attack him barehanded.

What did this mean? Did she think he was a mere mortal, or did she really consider herself a celestial being?

The Undying Heavenly Emperor hesitated for a moment but then slapped out with his palm, confident in his strength.

"Rip!"

At the last moment, Shaohua's fingers emitted a sharp divine light, transforming into a sword of Dao, sharp and eternal!

In the void, the clash of their laws was intense. Their palms and fingers met with a thud, and the Undying Heavenly Emperor's palm was pierced, blood spilling. This shocked him, forcing him to retreat.

"Damn! How is this possible?"

A mere Dao body had managed to pierce his palm, leaving a deep wound.

"Vanish!"

The Undying Heavenly Emperor roared, his blood flying towards her, transforming into a rainbow like a phoenix spreading its wings, aiming to strike across the three thousand realms.

"Absorb!" Shaohua commanded, stretching out her hand and instantly refining the blood. She smiled, "Don't be shy, please, more of it."

"You..." The Undying Heavenly Emperor's face was a mix of shock and anger.

His opponent had truly achieved the Dao, not needing to reveal her true form. A single Dao body was enough to awe all enemies.

Would such a person really perish due to a backlash from the Dao?

It was too hard to believe.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Sovereign fought for three hundred rounds, the scene so terrifying that even the cosmic borderlands couldn't contain it. The battle could only take place in the chaos beyond the realms.

At this level, the fight was unimaginable. Each move shook the Dao, with countless laws intertwining. Even the aftereffects were like thunderous waves, rippling through the universe.

"Whew, to witness such a battle with my own eyes, I... would die content!"

In the shattered borderlands of the cosmos, on a broken desolate star, an old grand sage with only half a body wept, tightly clutching a bone fragment split into pieces, still engraving what he saw and heard.

"You have fear in your heart. If you continue, you will surely lose. If so, I will be truly disappointed. The so-called Undying Heavenly Emperor is just a cowardly old mountain sparrow." Shaohua shook her head and sneered.

"Just a Dao body, and you think you're an immortal?" The Undying Heavenly Emperor was furious.

Shaohua tilted her head, a hint of mockery in her eyes, and said, "How do you know I'm not an immortal?"

"..."

The Undying Heavenly Emperor turned from anger to shock, unable to help but take a few steps back.

No wonder he couldn't defeat even a Dao body. That damned woman was still alive.

But then, Shaohua said mysteriously, "Ha, I was just kidding. I'm actually not in this world anymore."

"What are you trying to say?" The Undying Heavenly Emperor's brows furrowed so deeply they could crush a fly.

Shaohua ignored his thoughts and continued, "Actually, the Venerable Emperor never died. He has always been alive and has already become an immortal. He was the one who ambushed me."

"Then what?"

Like someone of his caliber, he had his pride and wouldn't spout lies. Donghuang had no need to use such a ruse.

"Then, we'll talk about it next time we meet." Shaohua smiled and sent the Skybinding Bangle away. The Dao body exploded with a loud bang.

"Donghuang!! You really deserve to die!!"
