The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 284 A series of betrayals, mother and daughter reunited!
"Um?!"

As I approach my ninety-ninth year of youth, I am suddenly struck by a sense of crisis.

But for some reason, she always felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Breaking through the cycle of reincarnation had already exhausted most of her power. After all, she had been resurrected, and the remaining obsessions from her previous life had long since dissipated. She had to travel all over the human world to gather a little bit of remaining strength.

The underworld and the mortal realm are, after all, the last creations left behind by those three people. They are transcendent and supreme, and even a quasi-immortal emperor would find it difficult to cross them at will, and might even be crushed by the immense pressure of the two realms.

"Little Flower, lend me a hand!"

Without time to think too much, Shaohua whispered a name in her heart.

How about some hidden backup power sources?
Making two preparations is to prevent this situation from happening; if the strength is insufficient, there is still room to continue.

"You called me, so I must be here to help you," the Pollen Emperor replied immediately, too lazy to correct her form of address. He figured she wouldn't change it anyway, and would only get more excited.

Golden patterns spread out beneath Shao Hua's feet, and she felt her power returning. Finally, she swung her sword and fiercely cleaved open the gates of the underworld, successfully crossing the two realms.

With a snap, the wooden sword in her hand finally shattered under the weight, and the magnificent landscape painting formed by the dojo covering her body also developed several cracks.

Where are you, my old friends?

Shaohua whispered, her eyes gleaming, as if she could see right through to the underworld.

But just then, that sense of crisis welled up in her heart again.

"when!"

A magnificent wave of energy exploded out, instantly shaking the world and shattering everything in its path.

The withered yellow paper money fluttering in the sky all turned to ashes, and at this moment, the resounding bell echoed throughout the entire underworld and the vast three thousand realms.

The tolling of the bell rips through the sky, piercing the sea of ​​time and spanning one era after another.

The Imperial Bell has risen and fallen, once bathed in the blood of the supreme emperor. Even though time has evaporated and countless ages have passed, and everything has become the past, it still remembers those bygone days!

"The underworld is the burial place of all the deceased. No matter who you are, I will not allow you to act recklessly here!" The black dog roared, having somehow run to the end of the River of Souls, and sat cross-legged on the ground like a human.

It was as tall as a giant mountain, but its body was hunched over, and it couldn't even straighten its back.

It can be seen that it is actually very old and decayed, and has serious injuries. It is extremely difficult for it to have survived until now. It is desperately trying its best to awaken the dormant imperial bell.

Because it contains resentment, unwillingness, and even more sorrow and melancholy.

That once glorious generation, now some are dead, some have faded away, all gone, leaving only this place to guard this cemetery.

The so-called underworld is actually a vast and boundless graveyard and cemetery, where an entire era was buried, past glories were buried, and those who have passed away were buried.

"I have followed some of the most powerful people in the world, and I have had my share of glory, but now I really can't hold on any longer. Heavenly Emperor, where are you all now? I don't believe you will really wither away, it can't end like this!"

The black dog looked increasingly old and had even forgotten to call himself "Emperor," which gives you an idea of ​​his state of mind.

In its dying moments, amidst a low and sorrowful howl, it suddenly raised its head to the sky, unable to believe that the world's strongest golden duo would come to an end.

Those were several Heavenly Emperors, who looked down upon countless ages and spaces. How could they pass away so easily?

But when it thought of the ultimate enemy of the Dark Land, that woman who had once amazed the ages, it wanted to cry even more, and its heart pounded again. It shouldn't have ended like that!

On the plateau, that person sat on the throne of darkness, becoming the greatest source of misfortune in history, countless times more terrifying than the ten progenitors of the strange race.

Black Dog couldn't imagine that if that person really did wake up at the end of the plateau, no one could stop it, and the whole world would be plunged into darkness, with no hope left.

"boom!"

The imperial bell roared, and a wave of light shot out, so dazzling and magnificent that it illuminated the past, present, and future!

At this moment, the three realms roared, the heavens trembled, and all living beings in the world trembled, unable to resist kneeling down.

But for some reason, the originally somber tolling of the bells suddenly carried a sense of joy.

"Damn it, this is a real problem. The Imperial Bell has been stolen?!"

The other corpse stared wide-eyed, and even accidentally dropped one of its eyes out of its socket in shock.

That's an Imperial Bell! It once accompanied its master to the ultimate sublimation at the last moment, entering the unfathomable realm of sacrificial arts. Even though it collapsed afterward, it was still comparable to an Immortal Emperor's artifact.

"Hey Lao Zhong, what are you doing? Have you gone crazy from sleeping all these years?!"

The black dog was so shocked that its jaw almost dropped to the ground. What did it see?
The Emperor Bell left behind by its own master suddenly "betrayed" it on the spot. Just a moment ago it was cooperating with it and unleashing its strongest attack without hesitation.

The results of it?
The next moment, he actually ran to the attacker's side and took the blow head-on.

This tower is ridiculous!?
When Shao Hua entered the underworld, he naturally heard the bell ringing immediately.

At first, she was quite delighted and couldn't help but wonder if an old friend had come to greet her.
But as it turns out, she was overthinking it.

What welcome? The bell tolled with murderous intent!

"Little Flower has ruined me!"

Shao Hua's forehead creased with annoyance. She instantly understood what was going on; they were treating her like an intruder.

Because she used a power that did not belong to her, it looked like an unknown supreme Dao Ancestor forcefully invading the underworld.

Even the Boundless Bell didn't notice for a moment. It only felt that, just as the Black Emperor had said, an unimaginable enemy was invading the underworld. So it immediately unleashed the power it had accumulated over countless years.

By the time the Beginningless Bell realized what was happening, the entire bell was in disarray.

Unable to dissipate the devastating attack, he could only appear before Shao Hua, enduring the force of his own outburst and nearly shattering on the spot. Immediately afterward, another incomparably powerful force suddenly erupted from the heavens and earth.

The entire underworld was bathed in fourteen-colored light.

When Shaohua was drawn to the light and looked over, even her flawless, ethereal face couldn't help but tremble.

She had considered many possibilities before arriving, but she never expected it to be like this.
"I knew that damn dog was unreliable. Now all our hopes are pinned on this one shot!"

The rotting corpse crawled out of the ground, and even though he had experienced countless calamities, he still couldn't help but feel nervous and excited at this moment.

The River of Souls flows mightily through the underworld, and nothing can change its course. The only turning point is in front of the Tower of Babel.

This is the only bend in the River of Souls, and it shouldn't exist in the first place. You can immediately see the tower's transcendent and supreme nature.

The Tower of Babel, known as the nineteenth forbidden zone of the underworld, is accessible to everyone.

The tower contains hundreds of different small worlds that can be entered by spiritual will. It is said that if you can overcome each level and reach the top, you can enter the mortal world or even the legendary outer heaven!

This is an incredible prehistoric creation, seemingly out of place in the rest of the world.

Only a very few ancient beings, such as the black dog and the rotting corpse, know its true origin.

The Tower of Babel was actually the Imperial Spear that Shao Hua shattered during the Great Battle of the Sea. It was later carefully retrieved by the trio, who, with the help of the Taoist magic she created, opened up an indestructible spiritual realm for each fragment, leaving it as a gift for future generations.

This towering structure, like a pillar reaching to the sky or a wordless monument, stands silently between heaven and earth, embodying their longing for their departed loved ones and their commitment to continuing to protect the world in their place.

"This is the Tower of Heaven that connects the Yin and Yang realms, and also the supreme Spear of Imperial Path!"

"Mother, please have mercy on me again!"

The decaying ancient ship beneath Mingyuan's feet shattered, and her true form perished. At this moment, she poured all her soul light and obsession into the Tower of Babel, reviving the Imperial Spear.

The earth trembled, and the three thousand realms wailed.

The Tower of Babel transformed into an unparalleled spear in the form of the Tao.

Its sharp edge was fully revealed, rising from the ground with unimaginable brilliance and world-destroying divine power!

Then, it rushed straight towards the prime of life.

"Ugh, what's going on here?"

Shao Hua sighed softly, and her aura changed. She transformed the Dao that did not belong to her into her own power. Holding the Emperor Bell in one hand, she stretched out her other hand and easily caught the earth-shattering spear that pierced through endless time and space.

"Clang~" The Boundless Bell trembled slightly, and several pieces fell from its body.

It knew that it didn't need to forcefully resist this time, otherwise it might really shatter.

In fact, the power unleashed by the Imperial Spear could also cause a Celestial Emperor to bleed. With the power of the Quasi-Celestial Emperor that she has temporarily borrowed, she certainly cannot withstand it, but who can blame her for being the Lord of Weapons herself?

Of course, the Imperial Spear also paid a price for this, suffering a backlash and shattering into pieces.

"Mother?!"

Mingyuan's soul light detached from the Imperial Spear and manifested, staring blankly at the incredibly familiar and stunningly beautiful woman before him.

"What, don't you recognize me? You want to kill your mother?"

Shao Hua's lips curled up slightly, and she glared at her good daughter with a hint of annoyance.

In the ancient times, people said that the Supreme Emperor Weapon carried the Great Emperor's Dao and Law, and was a continuation of his life.

She has no bloodline descendants. As the sword spirit of the Human Sword that has been by her side since the very beginning, Ming Yuanxin is her true daughter.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to reduce the power of the Imperial Banner when it was forged, and she wouldn't have bothered to send it away.

Keep in mind that at that time, they were on a mission to defeat the Dark Emperor, and it was uncertain whether they would return alive. Such an action was extremely risky.

This is enough to prove the importance of Blade & Soul in her heart.

They were by each other's side in their youth, went through tribulations together when they attained enlightenment, and shared nine lifetimes of trials and tribulations in the mortal world. They not only carried her great path, but also became the continuation of her will and life!
If she's not a daughter, then what is she?
As for bloodlines, the Human World Sword was forged with her painstaking efforts, and the two have long been intertwined. The blood flowing in Ming Yuanxin's veins is hers.

In comparison, Liu Nian, who is a Nine-Aperture Holy Spirit, is more like an adopted daughter.

"No, I didn't, it was just an accident."

When Mingyuan was pretended to be scolded by Shaohua, her mind went blank and she lost the ability to think. Then, she didn't care about anything else and rushed into her mother's arms, hugging her slender and graceful waist tightly.

She inhaled the refreshing fragrance and was instantly captivated, unable to tear herself away.

Shaohua opened her arms and embraced her daughter, a gentle smile on her face.

"Oh, heavens, how have you treated me so cruelly?!"

At the end of the River of Souls, the Black Emperor struggled to look up at the sky, tears streaming down his face.

Its old eyes were cloudy, and it could no longer see what had happened. It only knew that even the Imperial Spear had been lost, and there was no hope left for the underworld.

"You idiot, are you blind? That person, that person has returned!"

Duan De roared to the sky and unleashed a furious tirade at the Black Emperor from afar, gesturing wildly with excitement, to the point that his rotting flesh fell to the ground.

Just as Shaohua and her daughter Mingyuan were deeply moved by their love, a hoarse and strange voice suddenly rang out, causing their expressions to change.

"Hehe, what a deep mother-daughter bond! I just wonder if you're still the same person you were back then." An old woman, draped in tattered cloth and with a hunched back, appeared silently.
