Chapter 139: The Emperor's Dignity Must Not Be Insulted—Let Wu Shi Take the Stage! (Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Clang~~~~~~~~~"

A bell resounded through the universe, shaking all the laws of nature and stirring up boundless waves, trembling the entire cosmos.

"That's Wu Shi. He has appeared again, neither vanished nor sealed himself away. Is he going to defy heaven and achieve the Dao?"

"Quick, look over there. An ancient azure lotus rises from the sky, and Wan Qing has also appeared. Are they going to defy heaven together?"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!"

Far in the cosmic wastes, a massive chaotic azure lotus rooted itself in the void. The lotus swayed, splitting the universe and shaking out a sky full of chaotic energy, as if creating a new world.

The immense vibrations also shocked the mortal realm, making all beings feel a profound impact.

"Is that his origin? Truly a lotus seed from before the creation of the world?"

"Too incredible, both of them are too incredible!"

All beings were stunned. Wu Shi and Wan Qing, though they had yet to achieve the Dao, exuded a power that was on par with the ancient emperors and great emperors.

People were thoroughly convinced that if these two were not in the same era, they would undoubtedly achieve the Dao and become emperors, without a doubt.

However, this era already had someone who had seized the opportunity.

The Undying Emperor returned from defying heaven, living another life, and had already achieved the Dao, condensing the Heavenly Will Imprint, suppressing all the laws of nature, towering above the nine heavens and ten earths!

"Wrong, wrong, they should not have been born in this era. Alas, why didn't they seal themselves away for a later era to achieve the emperor's throne again?"

"Seeking the Dao is inherently defying heaven. With their pride and invincible confidence, how could they choose to seal themselves away and escape? They would rather defy heaven and achieve their final glory because they are Wu Shi and Wan Qing!"

Everyone fell silent. There was no right or wrong, only because they were Wu Shi and Wan Qing, they would inevitably take this step.

It is well-known that after a great emperor achieves the Dao, his path and law are imprinted in the world, standing alone and dominating all other paths.

Therefore, no other beings can achieve the Dao again unless the great emperor has been dead for ten thousand years, and the suppression of his path has dissipated, allowing another to achieve the Dao.

"Throughout history, only Dong Huang has ever broken the ancient taboo, defying heaven to achieve the Dao after the death of his mother, Xi Huang, continuing his glory in unparalleled sorrow and grief!"

"However, it is important to note that even Dong Huang achieved the Dao after Xi Huang's death, not in the same era. Now, the one suppressing the world is the path of the Undying Emperor, making it even more difficult!"

The Undying Emperor had only achieved the Dao for a little over a hundred years, and both he and his path were at their peak, showing no signs of retreat.

Moreover, everyone knew that the Undying Emperor and Dong Huang had a deep-seated enmity, and Wu Shi and Wan Qing had intricate ties with Dong Huang.

Therefore, there was no question of retreat or even neutrality. Regardless of whether Wu Shi and Wan Qing could defy heaven, the Undying Emperor would definitely intervene to suppress them.

At this moment, Wu Shi was defying heaven, his figure like a bolt of lightning shooting towards the heavens, nothing could stop his steps.

He trampled the boundless void, with all the star regions beneath his feet, time and space distorting, as if he was ascending the heavens, singing his way up!

He was in an extremely special state, with each step he took, his aura grew stronger, his presence more domineering, and the ancient heavens were collapsing under his might.

"I will achieve the Dao, neither heaven nor earth can stop me!" Wu Shi's aura reached its peak, covering a hundred paces, reaching the deepest part of the cosmic wastes, at the height of his power.

For over a hundred years, he had used the Immortal Bell to conceal his aura, blending into the mortal world, re-cultivating every secret realm, solidifying his foundation to the extreme, reaching the pinnacle where there was no further room for advancement. He needed to break through to continue improving.

"Rumble!!!!!!!!!"

Infinite divine tribulations descended, the heavens shook in anger, one era could not have two emperors, as if trying to forcibly suppress him.

"I said, I will achieve the Dao, and no one can stop me!"

"If heaven tries to stop me, I will break through it; if earth tries to hinder me, I will crush it. What does it matter if all the laws of nature press down on me? I will break through them with my own strength!"

Wu Shi roared to the heavens, countless stars trembled, the cosmic wastes shook violently, as if the world was about to end.

He truly broke through the shackles, entering the Emperor's Way Realm, about to transcend the imperial tribulation.

Divine rules flickered, lightning raged, and the cosmic wastes instantly turned into ruins, becoming a land of destruction, completely shattered.

"Heaven, he really crossed it, is he defying heaven?"

"Unbelievable, is he even human, this is too shocking!"

Everyone's souls trembled. This was completely unimaginable, but it was happening right before their eyes, something unseen for ages, no one had ever achieved such a feat.

And there were two of them.

Cultivators could only sigh in awe, drawing in a deep breath of the icy essence of heaven and earth.

"Hmph, heaven and earth cannot stop you?"

"I will stop you!"

At that moment, a cold voice echoed from the universe, a blade of light slicing through the cold, dark starry sky, bursting with immortal light, emitting boundless killing intent, tearing through the ancient heavens, and slashing directly at Wu Shi.

It was the Undying Emperor, who finally could not hold back any longer.

His path and law had been suppressing all other paths, but now the Heavenly Will Imprint was on the verge of collapsing, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

However, the bell rang, and Wu Shi was not turned to ashes but caught the Imperial Way Emperor Weapon with his bare hands, shocking the world.

"I stand tallest among the nine heavens and ten earths!" He stepped through time and space, his back towering, exuding an invincible aura.

At this moment, Wu Shi pierced through all the laws of nature, transcending and dominating them, crushing all the rules under his feet, his emperor aura radiating.

"Good, Wu Shi, if you succeed, what does that make me?" The Undying Emperor's face was expressionless, his icy gaze piercing through the universe, filled with boundless killing intent.

"Just a feathered old bird!" Wu Shi laughed, "If we truly existed in the same era, you would have no chance!"

"The Emperor's dignity must not be insulted!"

The Undying Emperor flew into a rage, casting aside all his reservations, his true self emerging to interfere with their ascension.

But the Immortal Bell and the Desolate Pagoda, two immortal artifacts, emerged to block his move.

"The Immortal Bell returns!" Seeing his lost Immortal Bell, the Undying Emperor's eyes turned red.

He ignored Wu Shi and tried to reclaim his artifact.

However, the Immortal Bell resisted him, its former owner.

"Damn it, what did that woman do?" The Undying Emperor cursed, paying a great price to forcibly take the Immortal Bell but failing to erase the imprint of another person within it.

"You are just too weak", a clear voice echoed from the imprint.

Then, a blinding light burst forth from the Beidou Ancient Star Region.

The radiant sword light was so long and brilliant, it seemed to span a universe, pouring down towards them.

"Hmph!" The Undying Emperor coldly snorted, fiercely striking out with all his might, trying to block the sword light.

"Crack!!!"

The celestial blade flew, shattering into several pieces, and he himself was split in two, only managing to mend his body using the Nirvana technique.

The sword light contained terrifying killing intent, making it impossible to recover with ordinary means.

Even the Zhe Zi Mi technique was ineffective, and even with the use of forbidden techniques, he could not heal in a short time.

Then, the Undying Emperor realized he had fallen under the imperial tribulation Wu Shi was enduring, and he had also triggered his own celestial tribulation.

His face changed, knowing that the celestial tribulation was based on one's strength.

He was now triggering a celestial tribulation, not a tribulation for achieving the Dao, but a genuine imperial tribulation.

In fact, the tribulation Wu Shi was enduring was no less formidable than the so-called imperial tribulation. Breaking through the suppression of all the laws of nature to achieve the Dao, once successful, he would become a supreme celestial emperor!

"Ha ha ha, Undying old bird, why aren't you shouting anymore?"

Wu Shi laughed, dispersing his own tribulation with one palm and forming a fist with the other, smashing it directly at the Undying Emperor.

Enduring the imperial tribulation while also engaging in battle with the Undying Emperor, his strength was truly at its peak.

"Brat Wu Shi, stop being so arrogant!" The Undying Emperor, in a frenzy, fought with Wu Shi in the tribulation, the battle raging in the cosmic wastes, chaotic energy surging, and the great path being erased.

On the other side, Wan Qing was also attacked. The Sovereign of the Forbidden Zone in the Tai Chu Ancient Mine could not resist intervening, trying to stop his ascension.

The Sovereign of the Forbidden Zone was very reluctant to act, fearing exposure. They preferred to see these two and the Undying Emperor fight to the death.

But if Wu Shi and Wan Qing truly defied heaven and became emperors, it wouldn't matter what happened to the Undying Emperor or the hidden Dong Huang.

With the Immortal Bell and the Desolate Pagoda in their possession, Wu Shi and Wan Qing would likely be able to uncover the location of the Tai Chu Ancient Mine and overpower the last Forbidden Zone in the world.

By now, they should have realized that Dong Huang wasn't truly unable to find the Tai Chu Ancient Mine.

How could that be possible!

That woman's power was beyond comprehension, and she had long reached an unfathomable realm. Unless she chose to destroy herself, who in this world could do anything to her, and what could she not achieve?

It had to be said, they were right.

Shao Hua did not personally act for two reasons. First, she wanted all the Sovereigns of the Forbidden Zones to suffer through their remaining lives, ending in the most tragic and desolate way.

Sometimes, death is a form of release, but living is the greatest challenge!

The Sovereigns of the Forbidden Zones had twisted and lost their humanity, their only goal being to live and achieve immortality.

But Shao Hua secretly intimidated them, making them too afraid to initiate the Darkness Turmoil, counting down the days until their death, even watching her live and achieve immortality in the mortal world.

One can imagine what kind of torment this was for the Sovereigns of the Forbidden Zones, the greatest torture in the world, unable to even end their lives in a final glory.

Second, she wanted to use the remaining Sovereigns as a form of cultivation.

Shao Hua did not anticipate the Undying Emperor's rebirth in this era. The Tai Chu Ancient Mine was left intentionally, or rather, initially left for Wu Shi.

Who could blame her for making a verbal promise not to attack the Tai Chu Ancient Mine?

She was a woman of her word, and if she said she wouldn't act, she wouldn't. So, let Wu Shi take the stage!
