Chapter 541: Cycle of Life and Death
"Hahaha! Lu Heng! Excellent!"
"The Heavenly Court! Excellent!"
Outside the Eternal Pure Land, the Lord of the Nine Li Tribe, who had just emerged from the chaotic time and space turbulence of the shattered Pure Land, witnessed the scene of the gods surrounding and attacking the three primordial ancestors. In an instant, he burst into hearty laughter, filled with immense exhilaration.
In the next moment, he was engulfed by the cultivators from the surrounding seven realms, and a ferocious slaughter surged once again.
However, Chi You's laughter of delight echoed continuously, bolstering his tremendous momentum.
Deep within the shattered Pure Land, Lu Heng, dressed in white robes, continuously broke through the encirclement of the nine primordial ancestors, finally embarking on his journey.
He resolutely withstood the encirclement of the nine primordial ancestors, intending to exterminate the three primordial ancestors guarding the Celestial Emperor's Bell outside the Pure Land! He even aimed to utterly annihilate the Celestial Emperor's Bell!
With such a purpose, completely unabashed, the Corpse Fiend Ancestors roared in anger, one after another.
"How can we let you have your way!"
Amidst the furious roars of the Corpse Fiend Ancestors, direct orders were transmitted to the cultivators of the Seven Realms, commanding them to launch a covert attack on the gods of the Heavenly Court outside the Pure Land, clearing the path for those three Corpse Fiend Ancestors.
However, as the cultivators of the Seven Realms surged forward to share the burden with the primordial ancestors, a sinister and terrifying aura suddenly emerged from the center of the battlefield.
Subsequently, a mystical and majestic seal flew out from the void, soaring directly above everyone's heads!
"In accordance with the command of the Heavenly Lord! Slay the demons!"
In the chilling roar of the Lord of the Nether, You Yue, the Netherworld's Profound Yellow Seal shattered the void and unveiled an eerie gateway to the netherworld above the firmament!
Subsequently, the gates of the netherworld thunderously swung open, revealing within it a horrifying sight of billions of wailing malevolent spirits and millions of chilling and ghastly apparitions.
The Lord of the Nether, the Ten Yama Kings, the Black and White Impermanences… lurking in the shadows of the Celestial Desolation Realm, a realm that even cultivators from the Seven Realms are unable to discern its reality, abruptly intruded upon the battlefield. In the instant the gates of the netherworld thunderously swung open, countless malevolent spirits imprisoned within the realm let out piercing wails, surging out like tumultuous waves, rushing towards the cultivators of the Seven Realms before them.
Even though these billions of malevolent spirits possess almost no cultivation, and the millions of apparitions are merely abundant in numbers, the unique nature of their ghostly bodies, coupled with the relentless influx of malevolent spirits and ghost cultivators, still manages to throw the cultivators of the Seven Realms into disarray, leaving them uncertain of their next move.
At that moment, no one was able to break through the terrifying onslaught of the malevolent spirits and reach the other side to assist the Corpse Fiend Ancestors.
The three Corpse Fiend Ancestors, along with the initially advantageous numbers of the cultivators from the Seven Realms, were now overwhelmed by enemies that far outnumbered them, making it difficult to withstand the assault.
Meanwhile, deep within the shattered pristine land, Lu Heng, dressed in white, steadfastly withstood the relentless attacks from the nine Corpse Fiend Ancestors and pressed forward, heading towards the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors who were blocking the path, intending to destroy the Celestial Emperor's Bell.
Under the stalemate, the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors, who were guarding the Celestial Emperor's Bell, roared in anger, unleashing a sinister aura that filled the air.
"Damn Lu Heng!"
They let out a venomous roar, consumed by hatred and madness.
The originally flawless plan was not only ruined by Lu Heng, but now they couldn't even devour the Earthly Behemoth. Countless ages of painstaking schemes have gone to waste, causing the hearts of the Thirteen Corpse Fiend Ancestors to bleed!
However, in the midst of the dire situation, they had no choice but to press on without hesitation.
The three Corpse Fiend Ancestors screamed and shattered the plan to protect the Celestial Emperor's Bell and slay the Earthly Behemoth. Besieged by the deities of the Heavenly Court, astonishingly, the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors chose to abandon their fight and directly retreated into the sanctuary of the Celestial Emperor's Bell, ceasing all resistance.
All the killer moves of the deities of the Heavenly Court, without exception, landed on that enormous Celestial Emperor's Bell.
However, the deities of the Heavenly Court, unlike Lu Heng, were unable to destroy this unparalleled Sacred Tool from Heaven beyond Heaven. They could only form a grand magic formation, trapping this great bell within the void and preventing its escape.
However, it seems that the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors who retreated into the bell had no intention of leaving at all!
Deep within the shattered and desolate land, Lu Heng witnessed such a scene and instantly comprehended the intentions of those three Corpse Fiend Ancestors.
They aimed to devour the Corpse Fiend within the bell completely, obtaining even greater power to surpass the current predicament!
However, once the supreme existence of the Corpse Fiend within the bell is devoured, without the presence of such an ultimate corpse, they would be unable to suppress the terrifying and unparalleled Earthly Behemoth. Even if they would acquire greater power, the remaining ten Corpse Fiend Ancestors clearly lost the opportunity to advance further.
The only ones who were able to ultimately achieve the perfect state as planned were the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors who took refuge inside the Celestial Emperor's Bell!
In the end, a terrifying explosion resounded from within the Celestial Emperor's Bell.
An eerie aura, many times more sinister and terrifying than before, pervaded the battlefield.
In the next instant, the indomitable Celestial Emperor's Bell, impervious to anything except the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder and Lu Heng, was astonishingly shattered by the force of impact!
In the moment when countless golden fragments burst apart, three dreadfully dark and vengeful ghost shadows let out furious roars, piercing through the battlefield of the Heavenly Court, where gods and infernal spirits clashed, and ruthlessly advancing towards the depths of the shattered and desolate Pure Land.
They shall reckon with this Lu Heng who has marred their perfect scheme!
Amidst the shattered and desolate land, Lu Heng immediately discerned the terror embodied by these three ghastly figures.
These three Corpse Fiend Ancestors have consumed the remains of that supreme Cprose Fiend, transgressing the boundaries of power and reaching the culmination of forbidden forces.
At this moment, the power of these three Corpse Fiend Ancestors is nearly comparable to immortality!
Even though that slight gap represents a vast difference between heaven and earth, yet now, they still stand at the pinnacle of all realms.
In this world, these three Corpse Fiend Ancestors had become invincible!
Even the present Lu Heng is unable to withstand it.
Because what has descended upon him at this moment is nothing more than a distant past projection, utterly removed from its peak form!
In an instant, the person forced into a desperate situation transformed into Lu Heng.
The nine Corpse Fiend Ancestors howled with resentment and cackled ominously, firmly holding Lu Heng back, depriving him of any chance to escape the battle.
Beyond the shattered sacred land, the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors approached with boundless frenzy and vengeful hatred. Each one of them is capable of contending against immortality, and when united, the three Corpse Fiend Ancestors even have the opportunity to slay true immortal beings!
Amidst the raging gusts of sinister wind, Lu Heng, trapped in a deadly situation, let out a sigh and spoke, "I had no intention of resorting to that measure…"
However, as the deadly situation unfolded, even Lu Heng, who had already acquired the power of immortality, found himself forced into a desperate predicament and had no choice but to take perilous action!
Amidst the turbulent flow of spacetime, the colossal divine projection of Lu Heng extended his right hand, forcefully piercing through the temporal barrier amidst the onslaught of the nine Corpse Fiend Ancestors, transcending the distances of time and space, and with a single palm, struck into the shattered realm beyond!
There, lies an eerie and ominous world.
That was Mount Buzhou, which Lu Heng had once visited, leaving him with a chilling sensation at the time.
In the depths of the Celestial Desolation Realm, hidden within the river of time and space, lies a true secret, a concealed corner so elusive that even the supreme entities are unable to perceive it along the river of time and space. If it were not for the fortuitous aid of the fierce beast Tao Wu, Lu Heng would have had no chance to behold the true countenance of that enigmatic world.
And with this palm that transcended through time and space, Lu Heng forcefully struck down upon that eerie valley and split Mount Buzhou into two halves, shattering the seal left behind by Emperor Fu Xi.
Boom!
In the terrifying reverberations, a sinister and dreadful intent erupted from beneath Mount Buzhou with a resounding thunder.
What emerged next was a mysterious figure that resembled both a death omen and a sharp sword.
In an instant, the entire eerie world collapsed with a resounding crash.
The four great ferocious beasts, which had existed for countless years, witnessed such a scene, all with faces filled with despair.
Only Tao Wu sighed, unsurprised by this.
"Finally, it has come to an end…"
Born from the aftermath of the great war in the Heavenly Court in ancient times, they were never meant to exist in this world. They have persisted until now in a peculiar and eerie manner, but they are nothing more than the lingering resentment of that horrifying entity beneath Mount Buzhou.
Now, as the horrifying entity beneath Mount Buzhou is awakened, not only will the entire eerie world, which seals the remains of the supreme beings, cease to exist, but even the continuation of their resentful existence will return to its original form.
As the four great ferocious beasts transformed into eerie aura, merging into that terrifying figure, the eerie and terrifying figure's aura grew increasingly violent, resembling a sharp sword and a ghastly specter.
It roared furiously towards the sky, piercing through the boundaries of time and space, and reaching towards Lu Heng deep within the shattered and desolate Pure Land.
It even caught a glimpse of the mighty and malevolent aura of the thirteenth Corpse Fiend Ancestors.
Guided by a surge of vital energy, this eerie figure emitted a resentful and venomous howl.
"Damn it!"
