Chapter 1098 The Cruelty of Looking Down on the World

Tens of thousands of years ago, the name Nuwa was extremely popular.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, no one doesn't want to become stronger.

At that time, Nuwa had just fallen, and there were still many clues about the external artifact, Nuwa Spirit.

Countless powerful figures from various factions are eyeing this item.

In that era of uncertainty, whoever obtained such an opportunity might become the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths.

At that time, both the Celestial King and the Ancient Buddha Lingming coveted the Fuxi Talisman and the Nuwa Spirit.

The two ancient gods truly lived up to their titles.

Even after his fall, the divine artifact he left behind is not something anyone can easily steal.

The two divine artifacts, which already possessed sentience, killed countless experts during the pursuit, and their strength continued to increase. Those who tried to subdue the Fuxi Talisman fared relatively well.

This artifact doesn't seem to have that much killing intent.

Even if they fail to subdue it, Fuxi Talisman will spare its life.

But Nuwa Ling was different.

This external artifact seems to have a particular fondness for killing, which is the opposite of its original owner.

It allows you to try to subdue it and become its master, but if you fail, the price you will pay is your life.

Initially, many powerful individuals were quite confident in their strength and, after finding the location of Nuwa's spirit, attempted to subdue it.

However, none of them succeeded. After failing to subdue them, they were all devoured without exception, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

Over time, the mere mention of Nuwa's name was enough to strike fear into people's hearts.

Almost all powerful individuals who undertake missions choose to avoid Nuwa Ling's sharp edge and refrain from meeting her.

Ten thousand years ago, Lingming Ancient Buddha was also one of those who tried to become stronger.

He even witnessed the process of subduing Nuwa's spirit.

At that time, he wasn't particularly powerful.

Even though he was part of a group of gods who went to subdue Nuwa's spirit, he could only be last, letting the powerful elder brother go first.

As a result, those gods who were far more powerful than the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment died tragically one after another.

Nuwa's spirit is a rather special existence among the external divine artifacts.

It was so extraordinary that even the Divine River Song seemed completely normal in its presence.

As its name suggests, this external artifact cannot be seen in its physical form. It exists in this world like a ghost, in the form of an energy body.

Why is it that so many people, without exception, are unable to subdue him?

That's because these gods simply couldn't find the true form of Nuwa's spirit.

Memories from ten thousand years ago are especially vivid.

Lingming Ancient Buddha, who was last to subdue Nuwa's spirit, watched as the group of powerful figures made their move and released his powerful divine force in an attempt to suppress the ownerless Nuwa spirit.

However, the incorporeal spirit of Nuwa was completely unaffected by this. No matter what methods these powerful beings used, their divine power could not affect the spirit of Nuwa.

When the time comes, Nuwa will change her form into countless brutal, bloodthirsty serpents to devour the challenger's flesh and soul.

On that day, the ancient Buddha Lingming witnessed the bloodiest scene of his life.

These powerful individuals, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, are usually very influential.

Before Nuwa's spirit, they were like newborns, utterly powerless, their flesh and blood being devoured bit by bit by the brutal, bloodthirsty serpent. Even their internal organs were eaten.

The scene was utterly horrifying.

After being shocked for a long time, Lingming Ancient Buddha realized that he had no chance of subduing Nuwa Spirit with his own strength, so he fled.

It is precisely because he escaped that he became the head of all Buddhas.

Even after ten thousand years, the ancient Buddha Lingming still harbors deep apprehension when he mentions that bloodthirsty external artifact again.

Even upon hearing the words "Nuwa Ling," his blood seemed to freeze.

"What, Immortal King? You're not trying to tell me you've already obtained that bloodthirsty artifact, are you? I don't believe it. If you really had it, you would have used it long ago. With that thing in hand, who would dare to oppose you?"

The Celestial King did not take Lingming Ancient Buddha's slightly provocative words to heart.

Instead, it released the immortal and creative power within its body, transforming it into a green healing sphere of light, which it then attached to the body of the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment.

This move completely baffled the Ancient Buddha Lingming.

What is the Immortal King planning to do? Why is he healing his own injuries?

"Nuwa is powerful, but I certainly don't have that ability."

"In the years since I gained control of the Three Realms and Six Paths, I haven't accomplished much, but I haven't been idle either. With more power comes more diverse information. In these years, I have consulted various materials and tried my best to explore this world, including the method of subduing Nuwa's spirit."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment widened his eyes.

The Immortal King actually didn't waste any time!
"With my strength, it is true that I cannot subdue Nuwa's spirit. In fact, in the Three Realms and Six Paths, no one except its master can subdue it. However, I have found a way."

"I'm treating your injuries not to please you, but to put the Heart-Eating Gu into your body so you'll obey me!"

Heart-Eating Gu!!?
Upon hearing this, the ancient Buddha Lingming couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Immortal King, you're quite funny. Don't you know how strong your body is? We've reached this level, how could the methods used to deal with mortals possibly work on us? What are you talking about?"

As he laughed, the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment sensed something was amiss.

Who is the Celestial King?

That is the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Despite the fact that the rule of the gods has been shaken in recent years, the final outcome was still firmly in the hands of the Celestial King.

Would a Celestial King do something so brainless?

He completely concealed his aura.

He regained his previous elegant demeanor, his eyes filled with an arrogant disdain for the world.

No, what he looked down upon was the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.

“I don’t have any junk on me. Aren’t you curious why your defense didn’t work? Let me tell you, it’s because the Heart-Eating Gu can ignore divine power and the Primordial Chaos.”

"No matter what kind of power you intend to use to crush it inside your body, it's impossible. As for tearing it out of your chest, that's also unrealistic, since that thing is inside your heart."

As the Celestial King spoke, he patted the Ancient Buddha of Spiritual Enlightenment on the shoulder.

"Get up. I will tell you the secret of Nuwa's spirit in detail. Only you can help me get that thing. Only you can make Nuwa's spirit unleash its greatest power."

No one likes to be threatened.

Lingming Ancient Buddha thought that he would rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life, and at worst, he would perish together with the Immortal King.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a heart-wrenching pain shot through his chest, causing him to writhe on the ground in agony.
