Chapter 490: One Against Two! Celestial Heaven's Perfection!

December 5th, 2024

A thunderous roar reverberated through the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

The dense dark clouds that had covered the sky were suddenly torn apart by a powerful force, as if a celestial river was pouring down from above.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard, but Hao Wuji, the holder of the Divine Axe, had his eyes shining brightly, filled with excitement.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"You know how to take the initiative, saving me the effort!"

As the ruler of the Celestial Heaven Clan and one of the Primordial Wuji in the Nine Sun World, he was not afraid of a newly advanced Upper Realm Primordial.

So, he took a step forward, holding the Divine Axe and swinging it upwards with great force.

Buzz!

The axe's light shone brilliantly as it slashed into the void. Then, a massive fissure appeared in the heavens and earth, unleashing a terrifying devouring power that spread towards the dark clouds.

Wild winds raged, howling across the land.

The vast Nine Sun World shook violently at that moment, and everything—dark clouds, mountains, rivers, and countless living beings—was sucked into the fissure.

But in the next instant—

A chaotic Dao aura with radiant light descended from the heavens and instantly smoothed out the fissure created by the axe's strike.

As it continued downward, it landed directly on top of Hao Wuji's head.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.

On the ground, numerous Primordial cultivators focused their attention on the figure in the golden-patterned black robe, who had just struck Hao Wuji on the head. But upon closer inspection, they saw that Hao Wuji's left hand had blocked the strike, preventing any harm.

At that moment, deep within the Imperial Capital—

Yuwen Yue witnessed this scene and felt slightly relieved. After all, it was just an Upper Realm Primordial; they couldn't cause too much trouble.

Meanwhile—

Hao Wuji looked up at the figure above him and sneered, "A mere Upper Realm Primordial dares to take the initiative? I admire your courage."

"But..."

Before he could finish, his left hand, which had blocked the other's palm, seized the opponent's wrist, and his right hand rose to strike with the axe again.

The axe's light blazed once more.

Hao Wuji's eyes filled with murderous intent, as if he could see himself killing the person before him and obtaining the complete Heaven Mirror.

Dao Realm! Legend!

With a complete Heaven Mirror, he would have a greater chance of ascending to an even higher realm!

However, just as this thought crossed his mind—

A strange feeling of weakness suddenly emerged from within his body, quickly engulfing his entire being.

What was happening?

Hao Wuji grew solemn; this was a situation he had never encountered before.

But he maintained his composure, still grasping the opponent's wrist with his left hand and swinging the Divine Axe with his right.

Even in this state, as a Primordial Wuji, he was confident he could slay this Upper Realm Primordial before him! He was determined to obtain the Heaven Mirror.

Just then—

Buzz!

A clear sword's hum resonated.

In an instant, a terrifying sword intent capable of annihilating heaven and earth surged like a tidal wave, sweeping across the four directions of the void.

The heavens and earth transformed in an instant, becoming a battlefield filled with killing intent, where countless weapons and murderous auras permeated the universe.

The numerous Primordials on the ground had their expressions change abruptly.

The power of this sword strike was no weaker than any Primordial Wuji!

Deep within the Imperial Capital, Yuwen Yue's expression turned solemn. "This is not an ordinary Primordial-level Divine Armament!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Shi looked up at the figure in the sky, his eyes filled with various emotions.

He was shocked and also greedy. Aside from the Heaven Mirror, there was another Upper Realm Divine Artifact!

He dared not touch the Heaven Mirror, and naturally, he wouldn't dare to approach this new artifact either.

But who could guarantee that this Extra-Terrestrial Primordial didn't possess other treasures?

As these thoughts crossed his mind—

Buzz!

The heavens shook as the Immortal Slaying Sword clashed with the Divine Axe, creating ripples of colorful mist that continuously rippled outwards.

In the blink of an eye—

A radiant light descended from the heavens, piercing through layers of the void and crashing into the vast land below! The impact point became the center of a tearing force, splitting the entire Nine Sun World in two! The land sank, and mountains and seas trembled.

Thick smoke and dust rose, almost covering the entire sky of the Nine Sun World, as if it had fallen into a great calamity.

Qin Zheng tightly gripped the Immortal Slaying Sword and descended from the heavens to the ground.

After advancing to the Upper Realm Primordial, not only had he transformed, but his Virtue Technique and the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones had also become more powerful.

Just now, that Ultimate Primordial Chaos presented no threat at all in front of him! However, Qin Zheng did not continue to chase and kill the opponent. Instead, his gaze swept over the Nine Yang World, which seemed to be gradually sinking.

The clash just now, though not directly aimed at this world, still produced aftereffects that the Nine Yang World could not easily withstand.

With a thought, the Azure Heaven mirror appeared, like a great sun hanging in the sky. The mirror’s surface emitted divine light, directly covering the Nine Yang World.

Subsequently, under the effect of the mirror’s light, the trend of the earth collapsing and sinking stopped, and even the earth that had been split in two began to gradually rejoin.

It was as if time were reversing.

The moment the Azure Heaven Mirror appeared, Yu Wen Yue could no longer contain himself. He took a step away from the imperial capital and directly appeared in the void above.

At the same time, Hao Wuji, who had been struck to the ground by Qin Zheng, suddenly rushed out from deep within the earth, directly passing over Qin Zheng and charging toward the sky ten thousand feet high.

The two Ultimate Primordial Chaos, at this moment, seemed like two great suns rising, unrestrainedly releasing their auras, causing the void to violently tremble.

In an instant, in the eyes of countless beings of the Nine Yang World, it seemed as if there were four suns in the sky!

Avarice appeared in Shi's eyes, but he still forcibly suppressed it.

In front of the two Ultimate Primordial Chaos, he did not have the capital to join in the struggle.

However, now that the two Ultimate Primordial Chaos acted together, even if the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial Chaos had heaven-defying abilities, he could not escape being suppressed! At that time, he could intervene and seize opportunities for creation.

He thought this in his heart, his gaze also fell from the heavens, looking at the figure on the ground.

In his gaze, the other party held a sword in one hand, his expression calm, as if he had not seen the two Ultimate Primordial Chaos acting.

No!

This is not right!

Avarice flashed in Shi's heart.

Then.

Whoosh!

An incomparably brilliant light suddenly erupted from the heavens, directly illuminating the entire Nine Yang World as if it were broad daylight.

Even at the Primordial Chaos level, at this moment, under this light, they lost their perception of the outside world.

Shi instantly took out his divine armament, his heart and spirit raised to the extreme.

But in an instant, this light that illuminated the entire Nine Yang World rapidly receded like a tide.

Along with the light, the Azure Heaven Mirror and the two Ultimate Primordial Chaos in the sky also vanished!

Shi, sensing this situation, quickly looked toward where the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial Chaos had been.

But the figure of the other party had also disappeared.

A bad premonition rapidly surged in his heart.

At the same moment.

In the world opened by the Azure Heaven Mirror.

The ancient mirror emitting mystic Dao aura hung in the sky like a great sun.

Hao Wuji and Yu Wen Yue, the two Ultimate Primordial Chaos, scanned their surroundings with wary expressions.

In this world, both felt a suppressing force that bound them at all times.

In such an environment, a battle would be extremely disadvantageous for them!

Just then.

Hum!

Ripples rippled through the void.

Qin Zheng's figure stepped out from it, coming into the sight of the two Ultimate Primordial Chaos.

"You truly have remarkable means, Fellow Daoist!"

Yu Wen Yue spoke with a collected voice.

Qin Zheng's gaze swept over the two, then he calmly said, "The commotion from battling the two of you is too great. Even if it was not intentional, it might still cause the suffering of mortals and the earth to sink."

"So I invited the two of you to this world specially opened for you."

After saying this, he slightly raised his head, his gaze looking at the Azure Heaven Mirror hanging in the sky like a great sun, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

The nearly complete Azure Heaven Mirror not only advanced his cultivation but also granted him many mystic abilities.

For example, this space he opened now could not only withstand the battle of Ultimate Primordial Chaos but also suppress any other strong beings except himself!

This world was his home court!

Here, he would be stronger, and the enemies would be weaker in return!

With the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones and Virtue Technique, suppressing two Ultimate Primordial Chaos was no longer difficult, and suppressing and killing two Ultimate Primordial Chaos could be attempted!

"Humph!"

Hao Wuji snorted, gripping the divine axe with both hands, and shouted coldly, "Stealing our clan’s divine artifact, and now with merely Upper Realm cultivation, you dare to challenge two of us alone!"

"You are truly very bold, you thief!"

After saying this, he shifted his gaze to Yu Wen Yue and quickly said, "Yu, let’s kill this thief together first, and settle things afterward!"

Yu Wen Yue's gaze was fixed on Qin Zheng, especially on the Immortal Slaying Sword in Qin Zheng's hand.

After Hao Wuji’s voice fell, he immediately looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Give me this sword, and I will not compete for the Azure Heaven Mirror."

"You?!"

Hao Tianjing's face turned from shock to anger.

Qin Zheng, however, let out a light laugh and shook his head. "Since I've invited you both into this realm, I won't do anything without confidence."

After a brief pause, he continued, "I come in peace. Just hand over the remaining fragments, and I'll leave you alone."

"I won't make things difficult for you."

Yuwen Yue's expression gradually turned cold.

"Absurd!"

Hao Wuji scoffed, then gripped the divine axe with both hands, his eyes cautiously fixed on Qin Zheng.

He didn't attack directly, as another Grand Primordial stood by. Yuwen Yue wouldn't make a move, and neither would he.

The atmosphere between the three became tense.

Whoosh! Hao Tianjing's radiance intensified.

Qin Zheng's wrist twisted slightly, and he stepped forward, his figure disappearing from its original spot and reappearing right in front of Hao Wuji.

The sword, imbued with a terrifying sword intent, slashed through the void, aiming directly at Hao Wuji.

"How dare you?!"

Hao Wuji roared again, his hands tightening around the axe handle as he swung it down.

But as he did, a sense of weakness surged through his body, causing his strength to plummet rapidly.

And within this realm, the decline in power was even more severe.

As the sword and axe clashed, the sword's light burst forth, instantly overpowering his axe.

Boom! At the critical moment, he stomped on the void, and his body flew backward.

However, the sword light followed his movements, slicing through his shoulder, chest, and abdomen, finally reaching his thigh.

His flesh tore, and golden blood flowed out, as if splitting Hao Wuji into two, like the land of the Nine Yang World.

But divine light surged within him, quickly expelling the Immortal Slaying Sword's light from his flesh, allowing his wounds to heal rapidly.

Still, his face showed panic.

Earlier, above the Nine Yang World, he had thought he was caught off guard and knocked into the ground.

But just now, despite not underestimating his opponent, he was still no match!

How could a Grand Primordial lose to an Advanced Primordial?!

What nonsense was this?!

Qin Zheng took a step forward, ready to strike again, but a chill emerged, and the ground beneath him turned into an icy pond, with countless ice spikes rising from its depths.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Boom!

The ice spikes, like sword lights, shot up, accompanied by the sound of dragon roars. Beneath the spikes, ice dragons emerged.

Above, in the heavens, a boundless, broad path appeared, radiating endless icy intent.

This was the ultimate display of the Great Way's power!

On the other side, Yuwen Yue materialized, standing beside Hao Wuji. "He can seal our cultivation, but it will surely exhaust him. Let's stall and avoid direct confrontation!"

Hao Wuji's eyes narrowed. "After this, the Azure Heaven Mirror is mine, and the Immortal Sword is yours!"

Yuwen Yue was about to agree when a chill suddenly gripped his heart, and he spun around, stabbing behind him.

Boom!

A radiant light appeared, instantly filling his vision, like an infinite world crashing down on his head.

With just this attack, Yuwen Yue felt his Great Way tremble, and cracks rapidly spread, signaling an unstable realm.

What treasure was this?!

His heart raced with shock, and without hesitation, he turned and fled the battlefield.

At that moment, Qin Zheng, under the Heaven and Earth Mystic Jade Tower, held the Immortal Slaying Sword in one hand and the Three Treasure Jade Scepter in the other.

After Yuwen Yue's retreat, Qin Zheng threw the scepter at Hao Wuji.

As the radiant light fell, Hao Wuji staggered, momentarily losing his ability to counterattack.

Qin Zheng seized the opportunity and thrust his sword forward.

Swish!

The sword sliced through the void, and despite Hao Wuji's attempts to dodge, it pierced his heart.

The sword intent to slay heaven and earth erupted within him, rampaging through his body, eroding his vitality and Great Way.

"Who are you?!" Hao Wuji asked, feeling weaker by the moment, staring at the figure before him.

Swish! The sword withdrew from his flesh, bringing forth a shower of blood.

"Hand over the Azure Heaven Mirror fragments," came a calm, detached voice in response.
