Emperor's Nirvana
After leaving the Divine Domain once again, Zhou Tong continued on his way, following his own path, and soon arrived at a desolate ancient star.
Yinghuo!
After countless years, Zhou Tong finally arrived at this desolate ancient star once again.
Before the Path to Immortality opened, Zhou Tong had passed by this star, but at that time he was worried that the Undying Heavenly Emperor might be hiding inside, so he held back and did not go in; but now, more than a hundred years have passed since the Dark Turmoil, and the Undying Heavenly Emperor has long since obtained enough supreme flesh and blood to begin evolving.
Those supreme beings who exploded on the Path to Immortality, and those supreme beings who exploded immediately after emerging, were all food for the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
The flesh and blood of those supreme beings who did not die on the Path to Immortality were mostly Zhou Tong's spoils of war; however, some of their flesh and blood were left outside and were probably collected by the Undying Heavenly Emperor; some of those supreme beings even lost limbs on the Path to Immortality, but recovered some of their strength when they came out.
"If I don't deal with the Undying Heavenly Emperor, I'm afraid I'll face the most terrifying ambush when I undergo my tribulation!" Zhou Tong thought to himself as he looked at the desolate Mars.
Zhou Tong is now basically unafraid of other supreme beings. His only fear is that the Undying Heavenly Emperor will take advantage of his tribulation to make a move. Zhou Tong even dares to say that there is a very high probability that the Undying Heavenly Emperor will make a move, or at the very least Undying Heavenly Blade might also intervene.
The events that followed Wu Shi's successful attainment of enlightenment had already given the Undying Heavenly Emperor a major headache. He absolutely would not allow another powerful Great Emperor comparable to Wu Shi to appear in future generations.
Zhou Tong descended from the starry sky and went directly to the Yinghuo North Sea Eye.
The Sea Eye has dried up, with no water flow left, only sand and boulders, and it looks as if it has been washed by blood, turning the area crimson.
"Boom!!"
Zhou Tong moved a huge rock and broke the seal here. Instantly, an extremely sinister aura rushed out, making people's hearts tremble.
Zhou Tong stepped inside and heard the sound of tsunamis along the way. Below the Sea Eye was a vast world, as if the surface of a planet had been sealed beneath it.
There are seals in many places underground, but they are useless to Zhou Tong, as if they don't exist.
Before long, Zhou Tong heard the sound of chanting sutras. Ahead was a large ship, from which Buddhist chants emanated. This was the seal that Shakyamuni had set up here, but now, thousands of years later, the seal had long since dissipated.
After passing the ancient ship, he finally entered this underground world.
Ahead lay a vast, black ocean, seemingly endless and boundless. However, the water here was lifeless and devoid of any vitality; there were no fish, no monsters, only utter silence.
With a flick of his finger, Zhou Tong created a passage that blocked the lifeless seawater, leading directly to the seabed.
As he descended, Zhou Tong felt as if he had traveled across an entire star field before finally breaking through the water layer and reaching the bottom.
This is an empty space on the seabed, shrouded in the dark, inky seawater that doesn't fall. On the ground lie vast expanses of skeletons, an endless sight that sends chills down one's spine.
"World Mausoleum ... using a world as a tomb, that's quite a grand gesture!" Zhou Tong's eyes flickered, as if he were tracing back to the past along the river of time.
Images flashed through his pupils, representing the era in which this mausoleum was formed.
"So this is the tomb from the era of the Emperor Venerable, the Heavenly Court era!" Zhou Tong exclaimed inwardly. No wonder the Undying Heavenly Emperor chose this place to transform; the Undying Heavenly Emperor was also a member of the Heavenly Court back then.
As Zhou Tong continued his journey, he encountered countless weapons and corpses within this World Mausoleum. Among them were countless Quasi-Emperor Artifacts, but unfortunately, all the weapons had long since lost their spiritual energy and had completely decayed over time.
"The seals have all been opened, and they were opened not long ago, no more than a hundred years ago. It must have been done by the Undying Heavenly Emperor!" The further Zhou Tong went, the more convinced he became that the Undying Heavenly Emperor was here.
Because along the way, he had seen countless seals, all of which had been opened; and all of the seals had been opened not long ago, within a timeframe of one to two hundred years.
Soon, Zhou Tong arrived at the deepest part of this battlefield, where there was a magnificent palace.
Inside this palace, there are many corpses, especially since many of them are flesh and blood corpses, no longer skeletons, clearly indicating that they died within the last hundred years or so.
Three of the corpses were particularly unusual.
One of them was a Divine Tiger. Zhou Tong recognized it as the mount that pulled the chariot of the Longevity Heavenly Venerate. It had entered the Immortal Path with the Longevity Heavenly Venerate during the Path to Immortality and eventually died here.
The other corpse was a Quasi-Emperor war slave from the Underworld. He was sent out by the Underworld to carry out a mission, but ended up dying here.
The last corpse was also a Quasi-Emperor, and the time of his fall was very close to the time when the Path to Immortality opened.
These three corpses all share a common characteristic: they have lost all their blood essence, and the remaining parts of the body have also decayed and lost their spiritual energy.
"The Undying Heavenly Emperor is just ahead!" Zhou Tong was also a little nervous at this moment, after all, he was a powerful figure far superior to himself. If he were to face the Undying Heavenly Emperor head-on, he would be nothing more than a piece of cake.
He looked at the Sun Sacred Emperor Formation Diagram within his body and felt calm again.
Although this Array Diagram is unusable, it can still awaken the Sun Sacred Emperor. Moreover, the awakened Sun Sacred Emperor is at the peak of his blood energy, which can definitely hold off the Undying Heavenly Emperor for the time being.
Moreover, the Sun Sacred Emperor and the Undying Heavenly Emperor are mortal enemies. Once the Sun Sacred Emperor is revived, he will definitely attack the Undying Heavenly Emperor without hesitation.
Zhou Tong steadied himself, then casually sliced through the fog ahead, revealing the flesh and blood of several corpses. Judging from their auras, they belonged to different people.
"As expected, they are those supreme beings who died on the Path to Immortality!" Zhou Tong sighed inwardly.
"However..." Zhou Tong waved his hand casually, and a brilliant divine light burst forth, completely dispelling all the mist in the palace and revealing the whole truth.
Above the palace, there was a blood-red fleshy ball, like a terrifying cocoon, about to be pulled into another Void the Great and disappear from here at any moment.
Behind that door, there was a large bell emanating Chaos Qi, which unleashed a terrifying suction force.
This is the weapon of the Wu Shi the Great — the Wu Shi Bell.
It was the Wu Shi Bell that was pulling this blood-red ball of flesh into another world.
Currently, the clock and the flesh ball are in a stalemate, and this stalemate has lasted for a long time.
The most terrifying thing is that this fleshy ball possesses an extremely terrifying demonic power. Any cultivator who has not reached the Quasi-Emperor realm will have the urge to sacrifice themselves for it as soon as they see it. If it were not suppressed by the Wu Shi Bell, this demonic power would probably even affect Quasi-Emperor.
