Chapter 537: The Power of Taboo
The inexplicable situation in front of his eyes left Lu Heng unable to believe it.
Due to the enigmatic evil entity concealed within the Celestial Emperor's Bell, it emanates an indescribable atmosphere of chilling malevolence!
Even if all the evil entities Lu Heng has encountered in the past were combined, they would still pale in comparison to a single strand of this abomination's power!
Yet, such a terrifying and eerie entity, which even unnerves someone of his cultivation level, is surprisingly exempt from the punishment of heavenly lightning tribulation?
This almost surpasses Lu Heng's comprehension of the way of heavenly thunder.
At this very moment, a voice reached Lu Heng's ears, carrying a hint of urgency.
"That is a Corpse Fiend formed from the remains of an immortal existence after its downfall! Transcending all realms! Beyond the confines of time and space! Thunder tribulations have no effect on it!"
Lu Heng turned his head and in the distant starry sea, he could see the Lord of the Nine Li, mounted on a black and white behemoth, ruthlessly cleaving through the surrounding enemies. He fiercely waved the Banner of the Warlord, desperately attempting to repel those who were pushing him to the brink of desperation.
Upon seeing Lu Heng approach, Chi You, drenched in blood, gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Hurry, find a way to destroy the Celestial Emperor's Bell! The conspiracy of these bastards is even more terrifying than we anticipated! They are not seeking to annihilate the Celestial Desolation Realm! They have even more sinister intentions!"
Chi You issued a piercing warning.
Lu Heng's heart trembled, instantly comprehending the peril that lay within.
The corpse that remains after the immortal existence perishes… the thirteen primogenitors, harboring such malevolence, could effortlessly annihilate the Celestial Desolation Realm!
The existence of the Nine Cauldrons is a crucial factor for the continual regeneration of beings in the Celestial Desolation Realm.
Indeed, the Nine Cauldrons cannot be damaged by ordinary means. However, the terrifying Corpse Fiend concealed within the Celestial Emperor's Bell can even withstand the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder. With a little time, it is entirely possible to destroy the Nine Cauldrons.
You should know, the thirteen ancestors have been holding on to the seventh cauldron of the Nine Cauldrons all along!
Even the Green State Cauldron and the Yuz State Cauldron, which have been displaced, were remnants from the recent catastrophic calamities, and were previously in the possession of cultivators from the Seven Realms!
If the Thirteen Ancestors so desire, they could completely destroy the nine cauldrons, turning the entire Celestial Desolation Realm into a veritable scorched earth, devoid of all living beings.
However, the Thirteen Ancestors didn't act in such a manner; instead, they have always preserved the nine cauldrons, allowing the myriad beings in the Celestial Desolation Realm to go through a constant cycle of birth and demise. They faithfully adhere to the command left by the supreme being of Heaven beyond Heaven, seemingly unable to bring about the extermination of the beings in the Celestial Desolation Realm.
So what exactly are they plotting?
And the body of this supreme being… where did they obtain it from?
After the ancient battle, although the Emperor managed to slay two supreme beings and severely wound four others, he himself was also gravely injured and faced extinction.
It can be determined that the corpse within the Celestial Emperor's Bell is not the remains of Emperor Fu Xi, as Lu Heng has seen the Emperor's remains, which were buried beneath the original Demon Subduing Stele Forest! The stele was personally erected by the supreme god Nüwa! Within the entire Demon Subduing Stele Forest, only the tombstone of Emperor Fu Xi is not made of Demon Stone, and the significance hidden within it is now evident.
So what is this the corpse that the Thirteen Ancestors hid?
As stated by the ruler of the Nine Li, the hidden malevolence of these Thirteen Ancestors is even more terrifying than it appears on the surface!
Although it is currently unclear what their intentions are, Lu Heng must not allow their conspiracy to succeed!
In the dazzling thunderous brilliance, Lu Heng let out a resounding roar and charged straight towards the magnificent Celestial Emperor's Bell. No longer resorting to the Heavenly Thunder Sword for probing, he was now determined to confront the eerie corpse fiend alone in battle!
The resplendent thunderous brilliance engulfed the Celestial Emperor's Bell, while the seven floating bronze cauldrons in the void vibrated with a humming sound. Freed from the control of the Thirteen Ancestors, these seven unmanned bronze cauldrons were forcibly claimed by Lu Heng. After years of separation, the nine cauldrons were now reunited, unleashing a terrifying power that left onlookers awestruck.
A vast amount of life energy circulated in the void, transforming into a resplendent river that swept away everything in its path. Clad in white garments, Lu Heng stood upon the river, wielding his sword to cleave and countless thunderous brilliance. Amidst the dazzling display, even the nearly indestructible realm of purity was effortlessly shattered by his strikes!
The chaotic temporal turbulence completely engulfed this place.
From the view outside the realm of purity, the surroundings of the Celestial Emperor's Bell have transformed into a terrifying enclave separate from the constraints of time and space. Amidst the resplendent divine radiance, numerous temporal disturbances and disruptions seem to catch glimpses of a temporal river that exists only in myth and legend! They witness events that have transpired in historical records!
In the terrifying maelstrom of temporal disturbances, only the Thirteen Ancestors, the supreme god Nüwa, and other transcendent presences such as Heavenly Lord Lu Heng could stand firm.
Even the esteemed Divine Lord Chi You, the ruler of the Nine Li tribe, with his peak-level prowess, didn't dare approach!
Both factions engaged in conflict within the Eternal Pure Land swiftly avoided that terrifying region and dared not approach it.
In the midst of the temporal disturbances, the Thirteen Ancestors forcefully struck down upon the flying pieces of the Demon Stone Stele, smirking in the face of the supreme god Nüwa, whose power seemingly surpassed their own.
However, what was peculiar was that despite the fact that the supreme god Nüwa's cultivation strength far surpassed theirs, and she was even assisted by the invincible suppressive power of hundreds of Demon Stone Steles, these thirteen enigmatic figures remained unaffected and impervious to any threat posed by her.
Even as the battlefield shifted, the superme god Nüwa, whose cultivation far surpassed that of the Thirteen Ancestors, gradually found herself at a disadvantage!
Thereupon, one of the Ancestors let out a cold laugh and said, "Supreme God Nüwa! You abandoned all your cultivation, willingly embraced death, and severed any possibility of attaining enlightenment, all in pursuit of the formidable power residing at the boundary between life and death. However, from what I see today, the cultivation you obtained through sacrificing your life seems to be nothing more than that!"
In the moment when Nüwa appeared, the Thirteen Ancestors immediately discerned the true nature of this former formidable enemy.
In the past, Nüwa, the supreme god and the first under the Emperor who exerted pressure over all realms, had long since become a lifeless body! Realizing that attaining enlightenment was futile, she abandoned all her cultivation, crossed into the boundary between life and death, and acquired the forbidden power of death that the heavens could not tolerate!
If Emperor, Fu Xi were still alive today, the first person he would seek to eliminate is this supreme god who has already embraced the path of corruption!
Because once this forbidden power of death spirals out of control, it transforms into a horrifying Corpse Fiend, indistinguishable from the Corpse Fiend within the Celestial Emperor's Bell!
This is the true taboo of the heavens, a path even more wicked than treading the way of demons!
The Thirteen Ancestors sneered repeatedly, mocking the once lofty supreme god Nüwa, and incessantly besieged this woman who, despite being already deceased, still amazed the realms, putting pressure on her.
From the ancient era when they ruled the realms in the Heavenly Court until now, they have never been able to ascend and attain the position of Divine Lord in the Heavenly Court, as they were considered outsiders who were not accepted in the Heavenly Court.
Now the Thirteen Ancestors are aggressively hunting, disregarding even theft of the Nine Cauldrons by Lu Heng, fully committed to annihilating the supreme god Nuwa and intent on pushing the woman within the Demon Stone Stele to the brink, until her power spirals out of control and she transforms into a Corpse Fiend!
If the Heavenly Court's supreme god ultimately transforms into a corpse fiend, this will be truly an unparalleled irony!
