Chapter 262: Recovering from Nirvana (Part 3)
After the G.o.d-Killing Rod absorbed all of Bai Tiandi’s energy, the immortal spirit in its body actually awakened and reached a terrifying level.
The immortal spirit awakened and spoke, shocking the people of the world. This immortal artifact was actually an independent ent.i.ty.
Especially King Heaven. He said that it was incredible, but his huge hand shrouded the sky and covered downwards. He wanted to catch this G.o.d-Killing Rod and study it properly.
“Since ancient times, immortal artifacts have never had their own independent thoughts. Instead, they borrowed the power of their owners to possess a portion of their own intelligence. Now, you have actually developed your own intelligence. Unbelievable!” King Heaven said excitedly.
“I’ve held you for over 10,000 years, but I didn’t discover anything at all. This human has only held you for a few short years, but you actually awakened in this world for him. You betrayed me!” King Heaven was very angry. The difference in how the G.o.d-Killing Rod performed when used by him and Bai Tiandi was too big, he couldn’t accept it at all.
Boom!
Nine drawings of ancient ferocious beasts appeared under King Heaven’s huge hand.
True Dragon, Black Tortoise, Immortal Bird, Immortal Phoenix, Divine Unicorn…
Under King Heaven’s palm, these ancient ferocious beasts used True Qi as the foundation to transform into various forms!
Each form was a Great Dao rune that transformed into a supreme power that shook the void and then blasted towards the G.o.d-Killing Rod.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This attack was too powerful and incomparable. King Heaven displayed his might fearlessly with peerless immortal energy.
But the G.o.d-Killing Rod wasn’t to be trifled with. After it awakened, it controlled its own body and struck the air. It was extremely powerful and terrifying.
Although this immortal artifact didn’t become fully activated yet, a portion of the immortal spirit had awakened. It still contained a terrifying power. At this moment, it forcefully resisted the ancient ferocious beast phantoms summoned by King Heaven.
Boom!
The G.o.d-Killing Rod struck the True Dragon’s back, causing it to tremble. With a mournful cry, it directly exploded, and the storm of chaos continued to expand.
It then struck the Black Tortoise’s sh.e.l.l, directly blowing it up.
The G.o.d-Killing Rod was too powerful. All those scratched or touched by it would be destroyed without exception. Lastly, it actually brought with it a power that could shake the sky as it attacked King Heaven.
This scene was extremely terrifying. The huge King Heaven stood in the midst of the chaos. The wings on his back spread out, making him look very powerful. But now, the G.o.d-Killing Rod that was even larger than him directly smashed down.
This scene was difficult to forget. It caused all the powerhouses to be stunned and also shocked the world.
Among the Myriad Races and the top races, everyone was discussing this shocking scene.
In the Valley of G.o.ds, a few old people watched this scene with faint eyes.
Their bodies were all shackled, unable to move or break free.
They had only woken up recently, but they discovered that they were still not welcomed in this world. They were locked up by the Chains of Order.
“King Heaven is too unyielding. He recovered so early and even forcefully resisted the Chains of Order, forcefully coming into being early. After so many years, he hasn’t changed at all.”
“Back then, King Heaven’s character was already like this, too self-centered. He didn’t listen to any objections at all. He resolved everything with killing. This kind of emotion has persisted until now. Today, the Human Race is going to suffer.”
“The immortal artifact has actually awakened and given birth to its own immortal spirit. This is something that has never happened before in history.”
“This immortal spirit has just been born not long ago. Even if it has awakened, it won’t be able to defeat King Heaven at his peak.”
“Indeed. I feel that not even a tenth of the might of the G.o.d-Killing Rod was used. The foundation of the immortal artifact, the immortal energy, hasn’t been used at all. It should not be a problem for King Heaven.”
“After King Heaven destroys the Human Race and makes the world chaotic, that will be the time for us to come into being.”
“Let’s wait a little longer. It won’t be long now.”
The few old people in the Valley of G.o.ds discussed in a low voice. Then, they fell silent and watched silently.
In the Ancient Kunlun Mountains, Big Sister Divine Silkworm brought Huang Xian’er to a demonic den and saw a few terrifying creatures trapped by the Chains of Order.
These were the True Dragons and the ancestors of the Nest of 10,000 Dragons.
The Chains of Order trapped them. Even though they had woken up, they were unable to leave.
King Heaven’s unyielding actions this time gave these people hope.
“Miss Divine Silkworm, this time, after King Heaven disrupts the world and wipes out the humans, it will be about time for us to come out too.” An azure dragon was trapped by the Chains of Order and couldn’t move, but it spoke.
“The Human Race is the protagonist of this era, but the protagonist can also be changed. The era of the Myriad Races should descend once again!” A huge black dragon said.
The other True Dragons didn’t speak and just watched silently.
“The Human Race is indeed the protagonist of this era. King Heaven looks very powerful and it’s obvious that Bai Tiandi can’t resist him, not even the G.o.d-Killing Rod. But I keep having a feeling that King Heaven will die!” Sister Divine Silkworm frowned and said softly.
“Who can kill King Heaven?” The azure dragon asked a fatal question.
“I don’t know. I just have this feeling. If it’s true, then the only person in the Human Race who can kill King Heaven is probably Great Emperor Jiufeng, I guess?” Big Sister Divine Silkworm murmured.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, the number one immortal of this era? After just these few years, no matter how fast his cultivation speed is, he won’t be a match for King Heaven. King Heaven already has one foot in the eighth lightning tribulation. He’s very terrifying!” The black dragon’s voice rumbled.
“Eighth lightning tribulation…” Huang Xian’er said in surprise. She was also at the False Immortal Realm now, so she naturally knew how terrifying a False Immortal was and how difficult it was to progress in this realm. When her lightning tribulation struck, it was really unbearable. She wished she could cut herself in half and end her life then.
“Then there’s no hope…” Big Sister Divine Silkworm lowered her eyes and sighed.
In the outside world, in the imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, countless False Immortals were watching with solemn expressions.
At this moment, Bai Tiandi had already left the battlefield. Having lost most of his strength, he was very weak. He would need to recuperate for at least a month before he could recover.
As for the G.o.d-Killing Rod and King Heaven, they were the main characters in this battle.
The G.o.d-Killing Rod and King Heaven had been together for over 10,000 years, but now, they were facing each other on the battlefield.
The G.o.d-Killing Rod struck down aggressively with a terrifying strength.
In the eyes of all the powerhouses, this strike was terrifying as if it wanted to destroy the world.
Boom!
The ground was trembling. The sky quickly cracked for hundreds of miles, pulling the s.p.a.ce of chaos even larger.
The surging nomological powers of the Great Dao erupted from the G.o.d-Killing Rod and directly rushed towards King Heaven.
At this moment, King Heaven shouted angrily. His wings flapped, and his body was like lightning. Endless black fog surged and drowned the place. Even the False Immortals were unable to see through the fog. They could only see the dense traces of the Great Dao around them, but they couldn’t see through anything else.
The G.o.d-Killing Rod and King Heaven were inside, facing each other directly.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Their auras collided like volcanoes, erupting pa.s.sionately. The auras were also like the sea, surging powerfully. It was extremely terrifying.
King Heaven swiftly struck and directly executed the seventh stage of the False Immortal Realm, Self Slas.h.i.+ng to Comprehend Dao.
Boom!
The surrounding abyss of chaos trembled. The surging black fog drowned this place. Then, with a flip of his hand, boundless Great Dao surged out.
At this moment, all the lights gathered together. Together with King Heaven’s terrifying strength, they transformed into a black hole. It restrained all of the attacks of the G.o.d-Killing Rod and extinguished its light and might. Then, using the black hole as a hand, it held onto the G.o.d-Killing Rod, ignoring the resistance of the immortal spirit. King Heaven’s expression was cold.
“I can already transcend the eighth lightning tribulation and enter the Reverse Yin Yang stage. In front of me, you aren’t even half-awakened, yet you still want to fight me?” King Heaven said coldly. He reached out and pulled out the immortal spirit of the G.o.d-Killing Rod. Then, he grabbed it and executed a sealing technique to seal the immortal spirit.
“You are something worth studying. After I wipe out the Human Race and take revenge for my son, I will study you,” King Heaven said calmly. Ignoring the struggle of the immortal spirit, he directly put it away.
He was too lazy to refine it and become its master, nor did he wipe out Bai Tiandi’s divine soul within it. In his eyes, nothing could compare to destroying the Human Race.
Shuas.h.!.+
King Heaven looked at the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. From the ancient town at the borders, he saw the imperial capital. His eyes were blood-red. Inside his eyes were no longer killing intent, but a surging sea of blood that was incomparably blazing, as if it was announcing the future of the Human Race.
This glance made the human powerhouses tremble in fear.
“The Human Race is unqualified for having their current status. They aren’t worthy of ruling the world. This must be repaid with blood!” King Heaven said coldly. He tore through the air and strode towards the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty’s capital.
His aura was oppressive. The figure that seemed to touch the nine heavens and stepping on the nine netherworlds made many people’s legs go soft.
Imperial capital.
The False Immortals of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty simultaneously looked at the Forbidden City. Their faces were filled with worry, fear, and terror.
Those who had become False Immortals in this era were no match for King Heaven at all. Even Bai Tiandi, who had undergone six lightning tribulations, wasn’t a match for King Heaven, who had stepped one leg into the stage of the eighth lightning tribulation.
Not even the half-awakened immortal artifact, the G.o.d-Killing Rod, could resist him.
Who in the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty could resist him then?
Everyone simultaneously thought of Great Emperor Jiufeng who had appeared out of nowhere seven years ago.
Back then, he alone went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and suppressed the convention of the Myriad Races, causing the Myriad Races to retreat in defeat, and protected the Human Race.
Now that seven years had pa.s.sed, the Myriad Races had made a comeback. An even more terrifying figure broke free from the Chains of Order and escaped. With an invincible att.i.tude, he descended upon the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and headed straight for the imperial capital.
Destroying the imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was equivalent to destroying the faith of the people of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and striking down the dignity of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
To destroy the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, the imperial capital must be destroyed too.
Hence, King Heaven didn’t hide his speed at all. He quickly rushed towards the imperial capital.
In the imperial capital, Forbidden City.
Emperor De sat here with a group of people beside him that was led by Princess Yulin.
Princess Yulin’s expression was grave. She was very worried about Bai Tiandi. The current Bai Tiandi’s life and death were unknown. He had lost all of his strength, and she didn’t know if he could continue to use the See Immortality in the Cycle of Reincarnation technique.
She was really worried.
But as the princess of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, she had to suppress her feelings at this moment. The safety of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was more important.
“Your Majesty, where’s Great Emperor Jiufeng?” King Kaoshan asked solemnly.
“Everyone has witnessed how terrifying King Heaven is. Right now, it’s unknown whether Bai Tiandi is dead or alive. The immortal artifact, G.o.d-Killing Rod, has also failed. This is a very difficult situation. Even if we attack together, we won’t be a match for King Heaven. Therefore, we have no choice but to ask for Great Emperor Jiufeng’s help,” Fire Lord nodded and said.
Emperor De stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was calm as he looked at Princess Yulin and said, “Yulin, go look for Great Emperor Jiufeng.”
“But…” Princess Yulin hesitated. She also wanted to look for her Big Grand-Uncle, but the problem was that before he went into seclusion, Lin Jiufeng had said not to disturb him.
“Go look for Great Emperor Jiufeng’s cat and ask her for advice,” Emperor De said softly.
In front of outsiders, Emperor De and Princess Yulin wouldn’t address Lin Jiufeng as Big Grand-Uncle. They would also address him as Great Emperor Jiufeng along with the common people.
“Alright, I’ll go now!” Princess Yulin nodded and stood up, quickly walking out.
The others’ faces relaxed and they secretly looked forward to it. It was as if they had gained a pillar of support, their panic instantly reduced by a lot.
“The Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty will definitely be able to withstand King Heaven’s attack if Great Emperor Jiufeng appears.”
“I believe in Great Emperor Jiufeng. He is the root reason why I joined the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.”
“If there’s a person who can change the current world, it’s definitely Great Emperor Jiufeng.”
“I wonder how powerful Great Emperor Jiufeng has become in the past few years?”
“No matter how much or little he has improved, he will definitely be able to resist King Heaven!”
The False Immortals were discussing, their words showing their great trust in Lin Jiufeng.
This trust had even reached the point of blindness.
Among them, the Seven Great Sages were the main ones.
In the battle of the convention of the Myriad Races, Lin Jiufeng had crushed all the other races with a domineering att.i.tude. He had also turned the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race into fanboys.
Soon after that, they joined the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. Bringing with them the Monster Race in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they accepted the rule of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
Emperor De proposed to treat everyone equally and having the different races coexist together. He would continue to hand the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the Seven Great Sages to rule, but they had to strictly plan and propose a clear direction of development. The Monster Race couldn’t be left to grow wildly like before.
In the past few years, the Seven Great Sages had been studying the reforms carefully in the imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
This was why they were at the imperial capital at this moment.
Emperor De stood up and looked into the distance. His eyes were faint as he said, “Everyone, please follow me to protect the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.”
Fire Lord laughed. “It’s been many years since I’ve felt such blood boiling.”
“I didn’t expect that a person born in the forgotten world like me can actually protect the entire Human Race. My life isn’t in vain anymore.” King Kaoshan laughed and walked out of the imperial study with Emperor De.
The other False Immortal powerhouses walked out one by one. They stood on the walls of the Forbidden City and looked into the distance.
Although they still couldn’t see King Heaven’s figure, his surging and vast aura was still within the range of their perception.
It was very terrifying!
But no one retreated.
Imperial Capital, Cold Palace.
Princess Yulin rushed over and knelt in front of the Cold Palace with a thump.
“Your unfilial descendant, Yulin, earnestly asks Big Grand-Uncle to save the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty!” Princess Yulin shouted mournfully. All sorts of emotions interweaved together, and her eyes turned red.
On the one hand, it was because Bai Tiandi had gone to resist King Heaven alone. Moreover, his fate was unknown.
On the other hand, the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was too weak. Even though it was constantly improving, the enemies were also constantly improving. It wasn’t until the appearance of King Heaven that Princess Yulin realized that they were actually so fragile.
In the end, it was also because of guilt.
Lin Jiufeng had said not to disturb him before he went into seclusion, but now, she still came to disturb him.
Without Great Emperor Jiufeng, the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was equivalent to a toothless tiger. In the wilderness surrounded by powerful enemies, it was difficult to maintain its position of overlord.
They might even be wiped out by the enemy at any moment.
Meow!
With a meow, the little white cat walked out and said in a low voice, “Great Emperor Jiufeng is in seclusion.”
“King Heaven is already here. In just a few minutes, he will be able to kill his way into the imperial capital and destroy the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty!” Princess Yulin raised her head and said sorrowfully.
The white cat sensed the terrifying fluctuations in the endless distance. Her eyes were faint as she said, “Great Emperor Jiufeng is in seclusion and can’t be disturbed, but I can help you.”
Princess Yulin looked at the little white cat in surprise.
Could she?
Princess Yulin didn’t hide the doubt in her eyes.
“Even if I can’t, there’s still this.” The white cat looked at the hanging lamp in front of the Cold Palace.
Princess Yulin looked at it in surprise and asked, “You can activate this [Light of the Homes]?”
The white cat mumbled, “I don’t know, but I’ll give it a try.”
In any case, she remembered how Lin Jiufeng activated the [Light of the Homes]. She just wasn’t sure if she could activate it too by copying his actions.
No matter what, she mustn’t disturb Lin Jiufeng. He had previously said that this seclusion was very important.
The white cat jumped on up and took down the [Light of the Homes].
The [Light of the Homes] let the little white cat take it down. Perhaps it was because it knew that this beautiful little white cat was the existence that Lin Jiufeng cared about the most.
