The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 202 Dual Venerable Ascension, Stone Emperor's Tragic Death

The King of Hell died. He was forcibly killed during his ultimate ascension, which ironically made way for the return of the Immortal Cauldron to its rightful place, and established the prestige of another uncrowned emperor.

In that land where the emperor fell, all things in heaven and earth wailed in sorrow, a scene of utter devastation.

Everyone could feel that the echoes of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth still lingered there. Just now, all the Daos were almost severed, turning this place into a land of calamity. All the star seas were turned into dust, and chaos arose here, creating a new heaven and earth and all things.

The battle has come to an end, in a way that is truly astonishing.

Wang Hongwu stood amidst the Supreme Blood and Bones, with crimson liquid flowing on the walls of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. The Supreme's blood seemed not yet dried, and a handful of ashes fell, marking the last traces of Yama, the King of Hell.

Clang! With a bell tolling, the Eastern Emperor Bell broke through the air and arrived. It was brought over, and the phantom of Yama, the King of Hell, emerged from the ashes. He was imprisoned by Wang Hongwu and imprinted on the bell, making it even more imposing.

At this moment, with the integration of the Supreme Imprint, the Divine Bell also changed. The imprint merged with the weapon spirit, producing a miraculous divine transformation, which actually allowed the bell to also possess a part of the Imperial Laws belonging to the Yama King. It was transforming and evolving into a true ultimate divine weapon.

As a result, the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Venerable Weapon that were scattered back then, along with the fragments of the Yama Stele, were drawn to the bell and fused into it, making it even more powerful and surpassing all supreme artifacts. It can be said that it is an extremely powerful divine weapon with a slightly weaker weapon spirit, which replaced the baptism of the great calamity with the imprint and origin of other emperors, only lacking this process.

"That bell is stained with the blood of the Supreme Being, swallowed the soul of the Emperor, absorbed the origin, and forged two different ultimate divine weapons. It will be a great weapon in the future. Does it also want to emulate the Emperor and create a celestial weapon in the mortal world?" In the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, a figure was watching this place and was also very concerned after seeing the bell's transformation.

Before even passing the Tribulation of the Ultimate Path, it has already integrated the power of a Supreme Being and two Ultimate Path Divine Weapons! This is unprecedented. If it absorbs more, it will probably experience a qualitative leap once it passes the Tribulation in the future. At least it won't be difficult for it to become a near-immortal artifact.

Clang! The Eastern Emperor Bell trembled and fell into Wang Hongwu's hands. He looked at all this. Killing the Queen of Hell had also taken a toll. This chaotic body was already covered with cracks. If it weren't for the immortal array gathering, it would have really collapsed. Only the power for the last battle remained.

Back then, the Chaos Body severely injured the Celestial Venerable and was also destroyed; but now, they used this body to kill a Supreme Being who had ascended to the highest level, a feat that can only be described as defying the heavens.

"It's done! The Supreme Being has been slain, and the King of Hell has been killed!"

Witnessing this scene, the cultivators observing the battlefield from across many star systems trembled and shouted loudly.

A rebellion that led to ascension to the highest level was something unthinkable in the past, but after this battle, the world was shaken. Wang Hongwu's performance overturned people's understanding and created a miracle.

The Ziwei Heavenly Court was filled with a deafening roar as everyone cheered with immense excitement. It was their leader, their cult leader, who rose to power by stepping on the blood and bones of the supreme beings, and was writing a legend.

"I knew it, Master could do it." The Holy Son of Ziwei clenched his fists excitedly, his breathing becoming rapid. He had killed the Ascended Supreme, who was his master. Their lineage had slaughtered emperors!

This will be a legendary crown, a glorious legacy for the Ziwei lineage, and these direct descendants will bask in its glory and prosper together with it.

"He really did it." The Empress opened her mouth and pinched the shoulder of the Golden Goddess beside her, causing her to wince in pain and look at her with displeasure. Then she said in a daze, "It's real, not a dream. This man has become so strong without making a sound! He made us worry for nothing, how hateful."

The Dragon Girl also breathed a sigh of relief, loosened her tightly clenched, pale hands, and her expression softened. She patted Huo Lin'er comfortingly, as her father was still in danger.

"The strongest echo of this era! Your Highness is the true emperor! These corrupt and decadent things will be swept into the dust of history!" Shen Chen and the other two smiled and cheered for him.

"What a miracle! The Supreme Being has been slaughtered!" Within the Divine Silkworm Ridge, the royal beings found it unbelievable. That was a Supreme Being who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment, yet he was still dead, brutally beaten to death. It was too ruthless.

"He has actually reached this point. Could he be even stronger than the current ancient ancestors?" The Blood Phoenix Mountain was also in shock, especially since their emperor had been born and was suffering in the battlefield. Compared to him, their belief in invincibility was shaken.

Even the Yama King after his ascension was beaten to death, so the Blood Phoenix King, who has been transformed into a weapon, will probably suffer even more.

For beings in the forbidden zone of life, this is truly frightening; how could they not be wary of such a powerful tactic?
This was a shocking result for them. Even the Supreme Ascension had failed. Everyone thought of themselves. What would they do if they were to face each other one day?
If they truly attain enlightenment, wouldn't they become another emperor? Would they still have good days then?

"The era is about to end, yet such a strange thing has happened. Is this a backlash from the myriad paths of heaven and earth against us?" The Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Stone Emperor, and the Great Roc Emperor all felt very uncomfortable, with an indescribable sense of oppression and frustration.

Their lives were threatened. As beings of this rank, when had they ever worried so much about their own safety because of one person? It's infuriating.

"Well, there's no need to worry too much. The Chaos Body of that time was ultimately not enlightened. Its body could only manage to take down one Ascended Supreme being at its limit. If it continued fighting, it would collapse. This situation should not recur." The voice rang out again from within the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, having discerned some clues. The situation suddenly became delicate.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, the Great Roc Emperor, and the Stone Emperor exchanged glances. It was true that the Chaos Body only had one last fighting strength left, but the question was, who would fight with that last bit of power?
The Ascension Cauldron is far too troublesome, and no supreme being would be a benevolent person willing to sacrifice for others.

Just as the atmosphere among the Supreme Beings became delicate, Wang Hongwu paid no attention to them, but instead took out the last corner of the roulette wheel from Yama's corpse.

He finally collected all the items lost in the underworld and integrated them into the five-pointed roulette wheel, making them completely unified.

With a whoosh, the hexagonal wheel was instantly complete, radiating brilliant immortal light. However, it lacked a spirit and its surface was still full of cracks. Yet, it possessed true reincarnation immortal power. Even in such an incomplete state, its power was no less than that of the immortal bell. Wang Hongwu discovered many ways to use it. In a sense, it was a fellow sufferer with the incomplete Endless Bell that had transformed into an immortal bell.

With a loud thud, a violent tremor came from the original interdimensional passage node, and the figure of the Divine Ruins Emperor vaguely appeared.

As you can see, he was covered in blood, and his body was covered with wounds pierced by divine light. He had failed to succeed on the path to immortality.

Although it was the right location, it was the wrong time, making it impossible to blast open. However, with the help of the elixir of immortality, he managed to save his life and fight his way back into the universe.

At this moment, Wang Hongwu directly targeted the Stone Emperor in the killing formation. The Battle Saint Emperor's battle spirit had dissipated after fighting him for so long, and he had completed his mission. The rest was up to him. He immediately shook the Eastern Emperor Bell and launched an attack with billions of purple-gold ripples and chaotic fist light.

"Hahaha, you want to use up your last battle strength on me? Very well, very well indeed!" The Stone Emperor laughed arrogantly, his eyes shooting out a killing light that could freeze the universe and collide with the sound waves. At the same time, he wielded his halberd and slashed forward. The halberd blade emitted a buzzing sound, and the dragon pattern transformed into a black dragon that rose up and pounced on Wang Hongwu's right hand. The halberd was alive with spirit, baring its fangs and claws. This was the most powerful imperial strike.

Clang!
The clash of fists and halberds spread out with countless earth-shattering Dao waves. This single collision destroyed vast areas of star seas and chaotic wastelands, revealing many previously unseen relics, ruins, and ancient secret realms, which were unearthed and reproduced by the waves of ripples that swept in.

The clanging sound seemed to echo through eternity, slowing the flow of time. Space itself solidified amidst the eruption of the Imperial Laws. Countless strands of immortal light and countless auspicious rays shone forth. The two were violently shaken; the Stone Emperor was forced backward and sent flying. His dragon-patterned black-gold halberd was shattered, its tip snapping off with a crack, and it plummeted down, crashing into a galactic Great Wall, causing it to collapse and be destroyed.

"You've become stronger?" The Holy Spirit cultivator was surprised. He clearly hadn't broken through, yet his strength had increased. What kind of method was this? The All-Encompassing Secret State had already faded!

Wang Hongwu didn't say much. This was the result of his battle with Yama, and his combat instincts and application of laws had been elevated. At this moment, he directly activated the Immortal Ascension Cauldron to suppress and kill the Stone Emperor, who was in a self-severing state. With a bang, the Stone Emperor was sent flying, coughing up blood. He was no longer the same as before.

The surging, emerald-green light swept across and blew him away, leaving him covered in blood. Although it was difficult to kill him, his injuries continued to worsen. If the opponent hadn't lost his All-Word Secret State, this single blow would have been enough to smash him to pieces.

He was indignant and resentful. In his eyes, these guys were no different from ants. Even with the help of the Chaos Corpse, they were not worthy of being his opponents. Yet, they had defied the heavens and killed the Yama King, and even came to suppress him with such force. What kind of encounter was this? How could he bear it?

"Imperial Seal of the World!" the Stone Emperor roared. In an instant, the boiling divine power solidified, and all the chaotic energy in the universe froze, imprisoning eternity. This was one of his supreme forbidden secret techniques, a transformation from the ultimate petrification, capable of sealing eternity, fixing the imperial body, and launching a killing attack. In a flash, the chaotic divine body was frozen in place. The Stone Emperor fiercely counterattacked. He knew the weakness of the opponent's primordial spirit, hence using this killing technique. The next moment, he directly used the secret technique to kill the primordial spirit, summoning his own Dao Self. That god-like figure rushed directly into Wang Hongwu's Immortal Platform, intending to kill the primordial spirits of the three!
This was indeed a huge threat, and it also provided ideas for other supreme beings to counter the killing techniques. Even the Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe and the Boundless Dao Artifacts that protected the primordial spirit were blown away. Even if they were fully restored, they would not be able to withstand the Stone Emperor's forbidden killing techniques.

Wuliang Daoren and Ye Chunfeng also sensed this and their expressions changed drastically. Only Wang Hongwu remained calm and directly used the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc to block it. The disc turned and became a cycle of reincarnation. The power of the immortal artifact directly dispelled and reversed the god-like figure, forcibly stuffing it back into the Stone Emperor's Dao Palace. In an instant, a secret technique backlash erupted.

Cough! Shi Huang was puzzled and vomited blood. He was inexplicably injured. Just now, he was the one who seized the opportunity and dominated his opponent. How could the situation have suddenly reversed?
With his retreat, the secret technique of the Emperor's Seal of the World was destroyed. Wang Hongwu charged out directly, his left hand transforming into a dragon and his right hand into a Kunpeng. He unleashed the Dragon Fist and Kunpeng Fist simultaneously, and the two great immortal techniques directly shattered the Stone Emperor. They were fast, accurate, and ruthless. Even the powerful Stone Emperor could not withstand them, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

"I'll kill you three times..." Old Stone reassembled his physical body, about to utter these harsh words, when Wang Hongwu flapped his Kunpeng wings and appeared in front of him. The Immortal Ascension Cauldron pressed down, immobilizing him. Then, Wang Hongwu placed his hands directly on Old Stone's head, pulling down the sides of his mouth, and sneered, "Old thing, always so stubborn and arrogant, today I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Oh!

The next moment, the sound of flesh being torn apart rang out, and everyone's heart trembled. They closed their eyes in horror. They were shocked to find that the Holy Venerable had directly torn open the Stone Emperor's mouth with both hands, pulling it to the sides and ears, and all his teeth were knocked out. Then, the huge hand exerted force and pulled it up and down, directly tearing the Stone Emperor's head apart from the corner of his mouth, splitting it in two.

Clang! The Heavenly Desolate Halberd roared in fury and attacked wildly, but was blocked by the Eastern Emperor Bell. The Stone Emperor resisted, but all his power was intercepted by the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Hongwu moved again. He grabbed Wang Hongwu's tongue and then pulled it out with a sharp tug.

Ah! The Stone Emperor's primordial spirit roared in anger. He had never been humiliated like this before. He had always been the one to crush, humiliate, trample, and even kill others. When had he ever been slapped in the face and humiliated like this?

Unable to accept it, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron crashed down again, blasting him away and sending him flying billions of light-years away. His head reassembled, and he glared fiercely at Wang Hongwu, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"There's really nothing we can do." Just then, a violent fluctuation came from the other side, and the Celestial Venerable of Longevity was actually undergoing the ultimate sublimation!
He also chose to self-destruct the forbidden artifact left in the underworld. In addition, his four mental bodies had already consumed too much energy at this moment, and the power to control the sword formation was not as great as before. This allowed him to seize the opportunity and ascend to a higher level in one fell swoop.

"You are all ants, you will all die!" The Great Roc Emperor also became fierce. He used the sword after his ascension to force Chuan Ying away, and then he reached the ultimate ascension. At this moment, perhaps only such a sentence could show their majesty and contempt for the enemy's insignificance.

"I'll fight to the death!" The Stone Emperor was so angry that he pushed himself to the limit once again. This time, he was smarter and unleashed the killing formation he had prepared in the past. He also activated a secret technique to attack Wang Hongwu and chanted a terrifying incantation: "I will sacrifice my imperial blood to the immortals!"

With a hum, this universe was ignited. Time and space were within the range of his forbidden secret technique. Blood flowed from the Stone Emperor's body, staining the universe red, and then it roared and burned, emitting a Daoist sound. This was one of his most terrifying methods, known as the Living Sacrifice to Immortals, which he created to deal with the immortals who would one day descend upon the world.

Using his own blood and life as a sacrifice, he wanted to destroy Wang Hongwu, and the one-time killing array flag was also spread out, desperately blocking the sword array killing light and the ultimate divine weapon coming from all around.

This time, he seems to have truly reached the pinnacle of success.

But at that moment, the passage shook violently, and a figure covered in blood, filled with resentment for failing to create an immortal path, charged out.

As soon as he came out, he saw his old nemesis trying to elevate himself to the extreme, and his eyes immediately turned glared at him.

"Sacrifice your head! You stinking stone that suppresses the latrine, die!" The Holy Spirit Emperor of the Divine Ruins, having failed in his attempt to break through, vented all his anger on his great enemy, the Stone Emperor. He swung his weapon and unleashed his strongest attack. The overwhelming imperial patterns swept across the sky like surging seawater, with chains of laws and order intertwined, as if the heavens were enraged.

"Old man, you deserve to die!" Shi Huang cried out in agony. No matter how proud he was, he was powerless in the face of this situation. In his weakest state, his greatest enemy took advantage of his vulnerability and cleaved him in two from head to toe with a single halberd strike.

Even the primordial spirit was directly shattered, and the so-called ultimate sublimation was interrupted on the spot.

Seeing this, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Great Roc Emperor could only shake their heads. The Stone Emperor's luck was really not good. Although he was powerful, his two ascensions were interrupted, making him a unique case.

The next moment, Shi Huang trembled violently, having already reformed. His face was pale, and he had suffered another severe injury. He knew that his chances of survival were slim, and he even used forbidden techniques, but all of them failed.

His ultimate ascension was interrupted once again, with no possibility of success left, and he himself was about to die.

"Then let's fight to the death! I am not to be trifled with!" The Stone Emperor was neither sad nor happy. At this moment, he had no choice but to fight to the death. Instantly, a vast and strange phenomenon appeared behind him. The desert was desolate and the setting sun was round over the long river. A stone man rose from the ground, roaring through the mountains and rivers, causing the universe to collapse. Then he merged with the stone man and wielded a halberd with a metallic sheen, cleaving down with a powerful strike.

Ultimate Secret Technique: Heaven! This was the scene when the Stone Emperor was born. All things trembled for him, and the universe shook for him. As soon as he was born, he suppressed the ancient and primordial world.

"Why bother deceiving you? I'll just kill you directly." Wang Hongwu stepped forward coldly, directly activating the Immortal Ascension Cauldron to unleash the Nine Secrets into One. Instantly, the phantoms of the Nine Heavenly Venerables appeared behind him, asking the Immortal Inquiry. The combined power transformed into an eternal immortal radiance that merged into the Immortal Cauldron and crashed out.

Bang! The cauldron and the Heavenly Desolate Halberd clashed, two extremely lethal forces collided, endless light became the only thing, all things were revived and then withered, and the myriad paths of the universe resonated in harmony.

Chaos exploded, the universe trembled, and in the vast sea of ​​light, the dragon-patterned black-gold halberd shattered, exploding inch by inch on the spot. A cloud of black-gold fragments swept back, transforming into terrifying blades that pierced into the Stone Emperor's body, and blood splattered high into the air.

This scene was shocking. A royal weapon was destroyed head-on. Such power was rare in history. What was even more terrifying was that the cauldron crushed through the stone emperor's body and shattered it.

Shi Huang was once again blasted apart. Without reaching the ultimate level of sublimation, he could never be their opponent. His dim body tried to regenerate in the blood mist, but Wang Hongwu swooped down and stomped down, crushing him to pieces.

The Stone Emperor was trampled underfoot.

His eyes glared angrily, wanting to roar and scream, but he couldn't, because the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was firmly pressing down on him. Wang Hongwu lifted him up and swung him mercilessly, smashing it down on his head.

Bang! Bang bang! Strike after strike, pure violence, pure catharsis, bombarding the head, crushing the limbs, directly flattening the Holy Spirit's body into dust, only its mouth remained the hardest and most intact part.

"I am not reconciled! If I were to achieve the ultimate sublimation, I would surely kill you all!"

The resentment of that unwillingness echoed, but alas, the ending was already destined and could not be changed. In the flames, the supreme body shattered and turned into ashes, while his immortal platform was also shattered, turning into light and rain.

The Stone Emperor has fallen!

"The person is dead, yet still dreaming?" Wang Hongwu scoffed, slapping the last mouth of the spirit until it was shattered. With a bang, the spirit's remaining body exploded into a blood mist, the aftershocks transforming into the most terrifying blood rain in the world, impacting the entire universe.

"Another supreme being has perished! The Holy Spirit Enlightened One is dead."

"The era of the Stone Emperor has come to an end. I never thought that the Supreme Emperor Gray in the stone would end his life like this, being killed by someone, failing even to achieve ultimate sublimation."

"To kill two Supreme Beings in a row is an unparalleled and illustrious achievement!"

People were utterly shocked; the supreme Stone Emperor had been destroyed just like that.

Wang Hongwu's display of majesty and combat prowess amazed people, making them all feel their blood boil. This generation's turmoil was forcefully stopped, and it was even very likely that the emerging supreme being would be completely annihilated!
This is a remarkable achievement; the era when supreme rulers could do whatever they wanted is gone forever.
