Chapter 143: Clashing with the Vicious One, Aiming to Forge an Unparalleled Holy Spirit

"Ha ha ha, let’s fight, let’s fight!" Wushi's blood was boiling, and he faced off against several Prohibitor Lords alone, his fighting spirit surging and his aura growing increasingly terrifying.

Seeing Eldest Sister appear, he pointed to cut off the Prohibitor Lords' escape, flashing a grin. He wasn't in a hurry to kill them; instead, he was enjoying the battle.

The fight was exhilarating!

Once this village passed, there would be no such inn again. After this battle, the world would no longer have Prohibitor Lords. Each one killed would be one less.

A rare commodity!

In the future, if he wanted to spar, he could only seek out his Eldest Sister, who would undoubtedly beat him up. How could that compare to the satisfaction of fighting others himself?

But happy times were always brief. Even if Wushi wanted to hold back and prolong the fight, the Prohibitor Lords' peak states were time-limited. They couldn’t last long against him and eventually fell one by one.

In the end, he even tried to forcibly subdue an ancient emperor who seemed to be an Emerald Foxbeast to bring back as a mount.

"He is very strong. In terms of a single lifetime's power, he surpasses both of us", said a figure in white who had appeared beside Shaohua.

"Even you were moved to come", Shaohua said with a helpless smile. She had never attained enlightenment in her lifetime, and if compared, she would be the weakest.

Fortunately, she had advanced far and quickly, though it had caused many ripples.

"I came to witness the Prohibitor Lords' downfall and to see what level you have reached", the Vicious One said calmly.

Her path had similarities with Shaohua's, but they were not the same. For instance, the act of separating the Dao Fruit and wandering the world was something Shaohua could neither do nor would do.

On the Mortal Ascension Path, some paths would cross, and it wasn’t about who was superior or inferior. They were different and didn’t need to be compared.

"Have you seen clearly?" Shaohua countered.

The Vicious One glanced sideways. Her face was unveiled, beautiful to the point of being surreal, ethereal and serene, truly a peerless beauty.

Unfortunately, she was shrouded in a mist, and no one but Shaohua could see her transcendent beauty.

"We'll see", the Vicious One said, raising a palm and striking at Shaohua.

Shaohua smiled and blocked the attack, her grace and beauty equally breathtaking, a paragon of elegance and transcendence.

The two stood before the Primordial Mine, their fight controlled and measured. It wasn’t a life-or-death battle but a contest of Dao Fruits, with no excess force unleashed.

Otherwise, even a single ripple could kill all the Prohibitor Lords, leaving nothing for Wushi and the others.

When the battle ended, Wushi and the others arrived at the Primordial Mine and saw the two figures still colliding silently, amazed at their prowess.

"We can't let them have all the glory!" Wushi sighed, his eyes brimming with confidence.

The task of clearing the battlefield and collecting the spoils was naturally handled by others, as Shaohua and the Vicious One had already left.

They entered the Chaos Expanse and truly clashed, the terrifying waves of energy tearing apart the chaos and creating a new world.

The newborn world exploded again, and a white figure was sent flying, stifling a groan.

The outcome was clear!

Shaohua had taken one more step, striking first despite being the second to act. This seventh lifetime, she had truly forged her own path, creating the Vital Dominion Method, a significant transformation.

"Let's stop here. If we continue, we'll get too serious."

She flashed forward and caught the Vicious One, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Actually, we could just show our Dao Fruits. Why must we fight?"

"Experiencing it firsthand is more profound." The Vicious One calmed her blood, her clear eyes flickering as if she had gained some insight, finding her way forward.

To wait for that person to return in the mortal world, she had to keep living.

She would wait until that day came.

If she couldn’t wait, she would keep growing stronger until she could break through the cycle of life and death, bringing her brother back.

Shaohua roughly guessed what the Vicious One was thinking. She could do little to help with her resolve, only wait for Ye Fan to appear after 130,000 years and let her unravel it herself.

It was all in her mind.

"Heavens, is that the legendary Primordial Mine? The Great Emperor Wushi is going to subdue that hidden forbidden zone!"

"I saw the Prohibitor Lords bleed. The Great Emperor Wushi is truly invincible, his strength unparalleled. He killed several Prohibitor Lords alone!"

"Wow, to witness such a world-shaking battle and the downfall of the Prohibitor Lords, even if I die, it would be worth it!"

The news of the Primordial Mine being pacified shook the world like a tidal wave.

Only then did people realize that the dark cloud that had loomed over them for countless ages had finally dissipated.

All the hidden Prohibitor Lords had fallen, and the world was free from the source of chaos!

The entire universe and all star domains were stunned.

When the news spread, exclamations and cheers echoed across the cosmos.

The world acknowledged that this era was extremely glorious, with three Great Emperors emerging, breaking the ancient myths and setting a precedent.

After the Immortal Emperor’s fall and the Green Emperor’s departure, only the Great Emperor Wushi remained, and today, such a monumental event occurred.

"The Great Emperor Wushi towers above all, subduing the Primordial Mine and bringing peace to the world. His achievements are immense, and he can be called the Heavenly Emperor!"

The title of Heavenly Emperor was not a boast of power but a recognition and praise of his great deeds.

The Great Emperor Wushi first defeated the Immortal Emperor and then pacified the Primordial Mine, his power and achievements unmatched, and the world hailed him as the Heavenly Emperor.

"It was the work of my predecessors, not just me. There are few Prohibitor Lords left in the forbidden zones, so my achievements are not much. They are just the result of the times."

Wushi later responded, especially highlighting the Eastern Emperor's contributions, crediting himself with the Eastern Emperor’s legacy.

"The Eastern Emperor was the one who pacified most of the forbidden zones, and the Eastern Emperor's achievements are legendary!"

When asked about his relationship with the Eastern Emperor, Wushi just smiled and did not give a direct answer, showing great respect for the Eastern Emperor.

Before his enlightenment, there were some rumors, but they were just rumors and not confirmed by him, so they couldn’t be taken seriously.

Some rumors were far from the truth, such as the Green Emperor being a woman, or even more absurdly, Wushi being a woman who was once the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool, disguised as a man.

Having two Great Emperors in one family was already glorious, and adding him would only add to the luster, but it might also cause fear and jealousy, putting the Jade Pool on the chopping block.

With no more forbidden zones, it was shocking that his family had produced three Great Emperors, two of whom were called Heavenly Emperors.

Even his father, who had not attained enlightenment, was a Prohibitor-level powerhouse. After all the praise and admiration, people might also feel fear.

"Speaking of which, our family has become the most formidable force in the world, perhaps even stronger than the former forbidden zones. We should be more low-key, or we might scare others", Wushi muttered to himself, rubbing his chin.

So, he erased many traces of himself, especially in the Jade Pool, hiding his origins.

"Is that the reason you're hiding, or are you just looking for an excuse to erase your dark history?"

Shaohua appeared silently, holding several Heaven-Mirroring Divine Crystals, perfect replicas of what Wushi had erased.

"..." Wushi turned away, not wanting to speak, and took out a pile of Immortal Metal, various divine and immortal sources, and Primordial Life Stones, their vitality surging.

Shaohua smiled and unceremoniously took the treasures.

After this battle, the world returned to peace.

Even the ancient forbidden zones were now seen as empty lands, having lost their power to shorten lifespans.

The seven great life zones of Beidou—Cyclical Sea, Immortal Mountain, Divine Ruins, Burial Island, Immortal Tomb, Primordial Mine, and Ancient Forbidden Zone—no longer contained ancient Prohibitor Lords capable of causing chaos.

In fact, only the Ancient Forbidden Zone and Immortal Mountain remained as places of reverence, while the others had vanished.

The people from the Ancient Forbidden Zone had moved to Immortal Mountain.

Shaohua had lured the Vicious One over, and Xiao Zicheng had brought Ning Fei to continue guarding the gate.

In Immortal Mountain, the black mountains retained their primitive appearance, while the Divine Ruins’ palaces stood tall, the Burial Island floated in the sky, and the ancient mine appeared in the ocean, surrounded by the Immortal Tomb.

All seven great life zones had been gathered here.

As for the Ancient Forbidden Zone, with everyone present, it could be considered complete.

"Without enlightened Immortal Metal, even if the essence is refined, it will be difficult for her to use. Besides, the fundamental principles of Immortal Metal differ. Unless you want to refine a spirit weapon, it would be easy to succeed."

The Vicious One stood before the Nine-Aperture Marvel Stone, calmly observing Liunian inside. She knew what Shaohua wanted to do but wasn’t too hopeful.

"The child is willing to try. If she succeeds, her potential will be unparalleled", Shaohua continued, "Stop scaring her. Help me refine the essence."

This was why Shaohua only took the Immortal Metal and not the Prohibitor Lords’ weapons.

The two extracted the essence from the raw Immortal Metal, and Shaohua continuously refined it, finally fusing the essence through the nine apertures and eight holes into Liunian’s body.

This step was incredibly dangerous. Any mistake could cause a violent conflict of fundamental principles, destroying decades of cultivation. Even a premature birth would be the best outcome.

Fortunately, Shaohua’s power was profound, Liunian had great resolve and perseverance, and with a bit of luck, there was no major rejection. The other eight types of Immortal Metal essence successfully fused into the stone fetus.

"Thank you... I will fall into the deepest slumber... to fuse these essences... see you in ten thousand years..." Liunian’s consciousness soon faded.

Fusing with the stone fetus did not mean fusing with her innate essence. This would be a long process, taking ten thousand years to gradually merge. Any mishap during this period could lead to an early birth.
