Chapter 296
The Innate Osmanthus revealed its form and spoke softly.
After speaking, she looked at the crazed Burial King Supreme Being, a hint of pity in her eyes.
She and the Burial King Supreme Being were originally one, so it's impossible for her to be completely unmoved when she saw her other self's mental state crumble.
If the Way of Time is the Dao of the Innate Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree, then this Burial Sky Coffin is the Great Dao that belongs entirely to the Burial King Supreme Being after he was reborn through possession!
Naming this magical artifact "Burial of Heaven" also reflects his anger towards the celestial realm and the immortals.
His life's ambition was to bury the heavens!
How could this not be her ambition?
However, seeking revenge against an immortal is wishful thinking.
Rumble!
The Burial Sky Coffin Shakes Wildly, carrying not only the power of the Burial King Supreme Being, but also his hatred and resentment towards the immortals of the Heavenly Realm!
He was resentful; why should immortals be eternally immortal?
Immortals reside high above in the heavens, so why would they descend to earth and kill him for no reason?
If he is not an immortal, he is still the flawless, Innate Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree!
They could have been immortal!
It's the celestial realm!
It was a high and mighty immortal who destroyed him!
Why don't they die?
They control all life and are above all living beings.
Yet, just because of a whim and a strange collecting habit, his future was robbed!
He was unwilling to accept it!
The Burial King Supreme Being went completely mad. He fully unleashed the power of the Burial Sky Coffin. This power was so strong that it not only corroded the world outside, but also corrupted himself.
The years were eroding him; his flesh and blood were withering; his once firm skin became loose and saggy; visible wrinkles appeared on his face; and his once upright posture was bent.
Soon, his movements became sluggish, and his punches aimed at the Burial Sky Coffin slowed down.
The evil power that was corrupting the world gradually subsided.
384. The Sword Slays the Supreme
"He can't hold on any longer."
Seeing this, the Innate Osmanthus said, "His lifespan is burning, his vitality is consuming, and all his time has been corroded away. He is about to perish."
"Um."
Xiao Minghuang watched with a solemn expression, her sword aura increasing continuously as she frantically activated the Saint Dao Law within her body. A dazzling sword, condensing all her power, appeared in her hand.
She knew that it was now her turn to bring this all to a close!
Xiao Minghuang stepped into the void, holding a long sword. His whole body transformed into a dazzling light, instantly piercing the sky and directly stabbing into the head of the Burial King Supreme Being!
Rumble!
With this thrust, the skull of the Burial King Supreme Being immediately shattered, scattering fragments and splattering blood.
These fragments, reeking of decay and toxins, clung to Xiao Minghuang's clothes, emitting a hissing, corrosive sound.
Click!
The skull of the Burial King Supreme Being shattered, his eyes wide open, bloodshot, staring at Xiao Minghuang with intense resentment. With his last ounce of strength, he raised his right arm and gripped Xiao Minghuang's shoulder tightly.
This grab contained the full power of the Burial King Supreme Being, as well as his hatred and despair. It was a supreme curse, enough to cause any living being in the world to wither away!
However, Xiao Minghuang ignored all of that and continued to thrust forward.
Furthermore, she gripped the longsword that was stuck in the head of the Burial King Supreme Being once more, and exerted force with both hands simultaneously!
Pfft!
A cold, crystalline sword tip pierced through the forehead of the Burial King Supreme Being, through his head, and fell straight into his chest cavity.
The unstoppable sword pierced straight down, clashing with another dazzling sword in Xiao Minghuang's hand, both exerting their power simultaneously!
The power of this sword strike was terrifying; the sword light on its blade emitted a rainbow hundreds of feet long, like a dragon or a tiger, tearing at the flesh and blood of the Burial King Supreme Being.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The body of the Burial King Supreme Being trembled, chunks of flesh were shredded to pieces, revealing white bones and a wisp of black mist. A low groan could be faintly heard coming from deep in his throat.
The Burial Sky Coffin contains the last power of the Burial King Supreme Being. Although this power is extremely weak, it should not be underestimated!
Xiao Minghuang must exert all her strength to suppress it.
"Aaaaaah!!"
The Burial King Supreme Being a miserable scream.
His upper body was almost torn apart, broken in two, but his mouth could still make sounds. Countless dazzling supreme laws revived within his body, vowing to defend their master to the very last moment before his life was cut off!
"My God! This is a Supreme Being!"
The Tianji Holy Son was utterly shocked.
Did he really succeed?
Lin Zhaoyu's beauty was filled with disbelief.
With the power of a sage, he defied the supreme ruler!
This is unheard of, and even unimaginable!
Innate Osmanthus with sorrow, she turned her head away, unable to bear to look at the passing of another version of herself from countless years past.
She knew Xiao Minghuang would succeed; she was certain she would succeed.
However, Xiao Minghuang, who was at the center of the storm, ignored it. Her gaze was firm, and her eyes flashed with coldness. She suddenly exerted force, twisted the long sword fiercely, and slashed down!
The immense power emanating from the longsword erupted, accompanied by a humming sound from its blade. The void seemed to freeze, and the entire scene was fixed in the sky.
Is he dead?
With his back turned, Innate Osmanthus couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The scene suddenly changed.
The body of the Burial King Supreme Being was completely torn in two from the waist down. His legs, abdomen, and neck were all ripped apart, and countless pieces of flesh and bones flew everywhere, with blood splattering across the sky, a horrifying sight!
Splash!
Endless gray smoke billowed out, and the skull of the Burial King Supreme Being completely collapsed, exploding into countless pieces of flesh and blood. Wisps of dark mist drifted out from his flesh and bones, merging into the ashes filling the sky.
With the fall of its master, the Burial Sky Coffin suddenly rang out with a loud clang, completely losing its divine power, and fell into the chaotic void, disappearing without a trace.
The death of the Supreme Being was so horrifying and terrifying that even those who witnessed it firsthand couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"This... this is practically tearing a supreme being to pieces!"
Tianji Holy Son gasped, and before he knew it, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
In the sky, the body of the Burial King Supreme Being was shattered into countless pieces. His flesh, bones, and fragments of laws floated in the firmament, disturbing the operation of the Great Dao of this world, preventing it from being restored no matter what, and keeping it in a state of disorder and chaos.
"It seems this space is destined to become completely desolate."
Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang sighed.
The fall of a supreme being has triggered a chain reaction that extends far beyond this.
The Burial King Supreme Being was an immortal supreme being who achieved immortality in the Southern Wilderness. His entire Daoist arts were tied to the Great World of the Southern Wilderness.
The Southern Wilderness Great World merges with the other four realms, including the Eastern Pole and the Central Heaven, forming a unified world.
Therefore, the fall of the Burial King Supreme Being could not only cause a tremor in the Southern Wilderness Great Dao, but also in the entire Five Directions One Realm!
Almost simultaneously, a mournful cry inexplicably echoed in the skies of the five great worlds: the Eastern Pole, the Central Heaven, the Southern Wilderness, the Western Land, and the Northern Sea!
That was the lament of the Burial King Supreme Being, signifying the end of his life. The Great Dao and the Daoist arts that were intertwined with him returned to the heavens, plunging the entire Five Directions One Realm into mourning, and all things fell silent.
The fall of the Supreme Being was felt by every cultivator in the five worlds who had embarked on the path of cultivation. From the weakest cultivators in the Body Realm to the highest immortal supreme beings and rulers of their respective realms, all were overcome with grief, tears welling in their eyes, and a nameless sorrow arose within them.
Western Lands.
In a dilapidated temple, before a rotten Buddha statue with half its head severed, an old monk sat with his eyes closed and hands clasped together.
"... All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows... Amitabha..."
Mid-heaven, Easternmost Point.
Within the Holy Academy, countless ancient beings awoke, gazing at the heavens with astonishment and uncertainty.
"Has the bell finally tolled, signaling the fall of the supreme being and the end of an era?"
Deep within the sacred temple, a faint light went out.
"The situation is already decided, so there's no need to go."
Deep within the Central Devil Palace in the Southern Wilderness.
"Reporting to the Devil Master, the Burial King... has fallen."
The Netherworld Path Demon Venerable bowed and said.
"I am aware of this matter. The Lord of the Eastern Pole did not intervene. This was the Burial King's personal action and has nothing to do with the Southern Wilderness."
"The peace envoys from the Eastern Front have been staying for half a month and are returning today. What do you think?"
"And..."
The imposing figure sighed deeply, the sound echoing throughout the hall for a long time.
385. Between heaven and earth, no one is immortal.
East of the Easternmost point, deep within the endless sea, lies a misty, shrouded waterway, where a paradise-like island is hidden.
On the island, palaces stand in dense clusters, shrouded in mist and Immortal Qi.
This is the renowned Penglai Immortal Island, one of the forbidden zones of life, Penglai Immortal Island Overseas Immortal Island.
Legend has it that an extremely ancient being, known as the Penglai Supreme Being, resides in this place. Because of its antiquity, it existed many eras ago.
Even before the oldest living supreme being was born, this immortal island had already stood here. So many years have passed, and many people believe that the Penglai Supreme Being has become an immortal, and therefore they all respectfully call him the Penglai Immortal.
Deep within the immortal island, in a simple palace, a figure sat quietly cross-legged, surrounded by mysterious symbols that seemed to be revealing the mysteries of the heavens.
This was an absolutely beautiful woman, with a flawless face, skin as white as snow, and features as exquisite as a painting. She sat peacefully on a futon, exuding a faint fragrance.
"The King is dead..."
She opened her eyes, which shone like stars, and in an instant, it seemed as if billions of stars had fallen into them, filled with a magical rhythm that captivated the soul!
The stunningly beautiful woman was none other than the legendary Penglai Immortal.
"Someone come here."
The words had barely left his mouth.
