The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 70: The Desolate Tower Changes, the Goddess Leads the Coffin to Destroy the Saint (6K)

Fairy springs in heaven, ancient towers rising and falling.

At the moment when the name of the immortal weapon, Huangta, came out of their mouths, everyone seemed to fall into a void where time had stopped, and they watched as a mysterious mist came from the north, covering the entire sky and earth. It was white, like the falling Milky Way, too terrifying and vast.

The appearance of the mist solidified the space, froze time, and made everyone stiff. Wang Hongwu's heart skipped a beat. Did this desolate tower come here on its own, or was it placed here by someone else?
His divine eyes revived, and he discovered that the mist really came from the depths of the Divine Ruins, and it was overwhelming the world, causing people to tremble in their hearts.

It was not a fluctuation of magic power, but just a glance that made the stars fall, the sun and the moon tremble, and all the paths in the sky and on the ground roar.

Deep in the ruins of the gods, incredible creatures noticed this place and paid attention to the desolate tower. At this moment, ghosts cried and gods howled, and the heaven and earth trembled. The world was raining blood and then the divine flowers bloomed. In the blood light, crystal petals flew, which was weird to the extreme.

"The Desolate Tower, could it be that it has an owner? Is it occupied by a forbidden entity within the Divine Ruins?"

People were horrified. This was too terrifying. In the past, only the emperor who had attained enlightenment could enter and exit the tower and communicate with the unknown beings inside. Could it be that their coveting of the Desolate Tower had angered such a being?
What kind of creature would that be?
Is it a true Holy Spirit? A fairy spirit left over from ancient times? Or some kind of terrifying and unknown evil?
While everyone was daydreaming, the long-silent desolate tower suddenly began to shake, as if resisting this gaze. Fairy light flew up from the bottom of the tower, and an incredible fairy light world appeared in the light, covering everyone. Countless auspicious beasts and fairy birds emerged. The most terrifying thing was that an ancient tower fell down, melting the entire fairy light world, turning it into a whole, and pressing down!

"Desolate Tower!" "It really is a Desolate Tower! Oh my god! It's rumored that it once subdued immortals. Could it be true?"

Everyone was horrified, and then shouted excitedly. They actually saw the legendary magic weapon with their own eyes. This was a great opportunity that would not be seen in tens of thousands of years!
This incident can make them brag about it for the rest of their lives, and it is also the capital for future generations to show off, chasing immortals to see the desolate tower.

At this moment, the fairy light world and the desolate tower melted together, isolating all the mist and sight, as if they were engaged in an unimaginable confrontation. Although everyone was only affected, they could not escape and struggled like duckweed in the raging sea.

At this critical moment, only the creatures with the extreme Dao mark could barely breathe. The four ancient princes raised their heads with difficulty, wanting to see the confrontation clearly, but Wang Hongwu didn't feel much. Not only was he protected by the Wanlongling Dao mark, but also because the Chengxian Ding in his body responded synchronously, he became the only one standing in the field.

"Even the ancient kings had to bow their heads, and the ancient royal heirs had to bend down, but how come he acts like nothing happened?" People were surprised and couldn't understand why. There were too many secrets about this forbidden king, and it was hard to fathom them.

"The remains of the immortal cauldron are communicating with the desolate tower?" Wang Hongwu was surprised. He vaguely felt that the two seemed to be attracted by some kind of force, causing a ripple to spread out from this divine tower that had been preserved from the ancient era, and a long-lasting sound was spreading out.

It was like an ancient curse that resounded throughout the world, and it was also like a sacrificial sound that shook the nine heavens and ten earth. It was so powerful and the divine sound was deafening.

All living beings within a radius of millions of miles trembled as if they had been enlightened. The five secret realms in their bodies were baptized and encountered opportunities and fortune.

"In the desolate tower, is there the essence of using one's body as a seed? However, this spell also vaguely points to an area, is it some kind of coordinate?" Wang Hongwu, who was holding the fragments of the immortal cauldron, gained the most. The place where he was was surrounded by Taoist pictures, mysterious and unfathomable, like a god, one with the heaven and earth, guiding the Tao into his body.

It was as if seeds were taking root and sprouting in that secret realm, full of vitality, and a crack opened up. His soul was guided, and the broken tripod of immortality wrapped him up and flew directly along the crack into a mysterious place.

Here, chaotic mist flows, fairy light overflows, and it is extremely peaceful. It is actually a world, the interior of the desolate tower.

Who could have imagined that inside this legendary fairy tower there would be a mysterious world where fairy light flowed, vast and boundless, filled with a charm belonging to the fairies, and a special law densely covered on it.

But this kind of immortal is not the immortal of this era, but the immortal of more ancient times. It is not based on fighting and killing, but on immortality. It is a special law, without any high or low, strong or weak power fluctuations, but just an essence.

The broken cauldron of immortality turned, and it brought in a very different law from inside the desolate tower, and brought back Wang Hongwu's body.

“It’s a pity. If it were the small fairyland inside the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, I might be able to achieve nirvana there, and make a great leap forward in the ancient law. Even the seeds transformed by the secret realm law would germinate and grow. However, one law is enough for me to cultivate immortal energy and bloom the flower of the great way. It is also very useful in resolving the suffering of the premature death of the solar body.

But what does the coordinate area in the Desolate Tower Divine Sound mean?"

Wang Hongwu's soul returned to its place and he looked around. It seemed that he was the only one who heard something different. He captured the sound of Tao and condensed it into a star map.

This star map is a kind of coordinate, pointing to an area of ​​the Big Dipper where something seems to be buried.

"The secret realm's treasures are being further excavated. It seems there is no need to suppress the realm anymore!" After he woke up, the ancient royal heirs present were all shocked. Their souls were clear and they gained something from this sound. They listened to a mystery, which allowed them to further explore the secret realm's treasures and make progress in their cultivation.

"Hmph, that guy always lets people get struck by thunder tribulations. This time I'll give it a try too." The Golden Goddess's eyes flickered as she thought of the rumors about the Dragon King and the Sun King. She decided to make good use of her own chance to break through the thunder tribulations.

However, what Wang Hongwu cared about more was that a law of immortal weapon was brought in from inside the desolate tower. Although he did not know its purpose, after practicing the ancient method, he could integrate it into his own Eight Nine Profound Arts, allowing him to go a step further and gain more adaptability and simulated operation of the law.

This made him even more suspicious. If he used the Samsara Seal to interpret the secret realm of the Wheel Sea, used the essence of the Four Poles connecting heaven and earth to connect the small fairyland with the pseudo burial ground of the underworld, and absorbed the fragments of the laws, would there be different changes?

As his thoughts raced, Wang Hongwu did not stop. While everyone was suppressed by the power of the Huangta, he touched the imprints of all the stone pillars one by one, wanting to contain all the spirits in one body and cultivate the Eight-Nine Profound Art to a small degree of success, so that he could at least transform into various exotic beasts and simulate their characteristics and magical powers.

Swish! For a moment, the shadows of strange beasts here rushed forward, as if reappearing from the mythical era. Soaring snakes broke through the air, Taotie swallowed the sky, snakes coiled around the stars, sky-swallowing beasts rushed forward, black tortoises expanded the sea, white tigers treaded the wilderness, and golden crows set in the sunset. It was a magnificent scene.

Wang Hongwu's figure changed again and again, turning into a Teng Snake swallowing and spitting out golden rainbows, swinging its tail to split the sky; turning into a Taotie with its mouth opening into a black hole, greedily devouring everything; turning into a snake flying across the sky, bringing down all kinds of disasters; turning into a Tianyan beast floating in the starry sky, swallowing one star after another, and its body turning into a nebula; turning into a Xuanwu interpreting Tai Chi Kui Shui, endlessly; turning into a Baihu raising up weapons and killing, becoming a fierce god; turning into a Jinwu flapping its wings to burn the sky, and ten suns across the sky.

The Eight-Nine Profound Art absorbed all these imprints and inherited techniques. Although it was incomplete due to the lack of bloodline, it was enough to simulate half of its power. It could be said to be a great opportunity.

"What a great fortune! Being fully enjoyed by him alone, it will surely become an important foundation for the future. His scriptures will probably be much more complete, with many more wonderful techniques."

"This Dao-protecting Heavenly Art seems to have some of the flavor of the Divine Silkworm Ridge Dharma. Did you get something from the Nine Heavens Divine Spirit Coffin?"

"After all, he is the Forbidden King who has touched the forbidden realm of the gods. I am not surprised by what he does now."

Although people could not move, they could still see it. They were quite moved and envious of the scene.

Some ancestral kings even had strange ideas. The ruins of the Heavenly Palace seemed to bring great fortune to the Dragon King every time, as if they were waiting for him?
"The desolate tower is intact, the immortal bell is intact, only the emperor's immortal cauldron has collapsed. This is enough to prove something. The gods have been buried for eternity, and even the gourd is half broken. But what are you planning?"

At this moment, at the source of the mist, the owner of the gaze whispered softly, and the broken green bronze tripod, the immortal-slaying gourd, and even a blood-stained five-colored divine feather were reflected in his eyes.

No one could understand its divine sound, it was a resonance of the great way. People only felt that the sky rumbled a few times, and then everything was silent.

Then the vast chaotic mist retreated like a tide, and the oppressive atmosphere suddenly dissipated, making people unable to help but let out a long sigh.

However, Huangta also disappeared. It was unknown whether he was taken away by the owner of the gaze or left on his own.

"The legendary desolate tower has disappeared just like that!" People beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling extremely regretful. This was truly regrettable, as that was a true immortal artifact, perhaps containing the secret to becoming an immortal.

“Although the desolate tower is gone, the sacred spring is still there, and so is the sarcophagus!”

"Hurry, the guys from the underworld are already moving!"

Although there were people who regretted it, more people noticed the changes in the sacred spring. The stone coffin was extremely bright, like a stream of magma in the dark night, or like a flash of lightning in the gloomy sky, extremely eye-catching and dazzling.

The nine saints from the underworld moved the fastest and rushed forward directly. The visitors from the divine organization shouted and fought back fiercely, but were blocked by the Saint King who flew out of the black wooden coffin, and a fierce battle broke out.

"Stop them!" At this time, the Beidou Ancestor King and the saints from outside the domain rarely joined forces to stop the holy corpse of the underworld. If they were allowed to get the sarcophagus, God knows what kind of disaster would be resurrected!

The saint-level combat forces were fighting there, and the remaining kings were also not at peace, all rushing towards the sarcophagus. All the previous miracles were witnessed by everyone, not to mention crossing the sea of ​​gods, just the name of the ancient coffin of the gods was enough. The Emperor of Gods and the Nine Heavens Gods both left things in it, which was extremely tempting.

Wang Hongwu rushed forward first, and all the heroes looked at him, like swords in the sky, making clanging sounds in the long space.

There is no doubt that a terrible battle broke out here, with endless murderous aura in the air. Even the ancient royal heir was exhausted from fighting and was full of fighting spirit.

Huo Qizi's eyes became more and more dazzling, turning into two magic lamps. He killed crazily, fought bravely, and tore a Golden Crow King apart alive. He didn't seem to be fighting for anything, but was purely enjoying the fight and making progress.

Huangxu Dao did not participate, but stood in front of the Wanling Stone Pillar to meditate. The mark will not disappear, and it will only wait for the right person, and he will also gain something.

On the other side, the Golden Goddess and the Dragon Girl fought fiercely. The two women were like thunder, opening and closing with great force, making all the heroes feel inferior. Their hair was flying, their eyes were as sharp as heavenly swords, and their fighting spirit was soaring.

"Hmph, this is also a good trick I learned from them. You can taste it first!" At the intense moment, the goddess suddenly released the suppression of her own realm, which immediately attracted dark clouds in the sky.

"Thunder Tribulation?!" "The Princess of the Golden Cave is about to undergo a thunder tribulation!"

"Oh no! The princess of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest is trapped in it. She is in danger now."

"The methods of the Sun King and the Dragon King have also been learned by the ancient royal heirs. In the future, many masters in the Five Realms will be struck by lightning!"

People trembled and retreated. They didn't expect that the Golden Goddess had learned this trick so quickly and used it on a powerful enemy.

The thunder tribulation of the ancient royal heir was naturally terrifying. The dragon girl who was enveloped by it immediately fell into a state of despair. She was beaten back repeatedly, and many thunder marks appeared on her body. She frowned and thought hard about how to escape.

It wasn't just her. Many people around her were forced to leave and retreat, and the space around the sarcophagus suddenly became empty.

Seeing this, people couldn't help but sigh that they had to learn and apply what they had learned. Once the thunderstorm struck, the Golden Goddess became the person with the greatest advantage in competing for the sarcophagus.

"Useless! You will be defeated today!" The goddess was so powerful and aggressive, she was determined to defeat the ancient heir personally. She even used thunder to clear the field, successfully creating a gap and a great hope of seizing the sarcophagus, killing two birds with one stone.

However, at this moment, a loud roar was heard from the distant sky, causing eighteen mountains outside the palace to collapse one after another. Everyone looked back and saw a purple-haired man, extremely majestic, with a wild light flashing in his eyes. He came towards them with a huge bell in his hand, and the dragon energy was overwhelming.

At this moment, the sky in all directions was torn apart, and he was like a real dragon reappearing, roaring and collapsing the mountains and rivers and the earth, forcefully smashing the calamity light from the sky and breaking into the calamity clouds!

The lightning spear transformed by the Great Heavenly Tribulation Technique roared, and the phantom of the thunder pool inside affected the thunder tribulation, allowing him to break free from his restraints for a short time. He was not affected by the heavenly tribulation and could do whatever he wanted.

When the Eight-Nine Profound Art was activated, all kinds of colorful clouds flew out from his body, some in the shape of dragons, some in the shape of phoenixes, shaking the heavens and the earth. They cut down everything they encountered and killed everything they touched. They directly shattered tens of thousands of calamity lights and created a gap in the huge calamity cloud.

"Is it the Dragon King?" "How come he wasn't affected by the thunder tribulation and rushed in directly!"

"He wants to save the Ancient Princess of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest!"

The people were shocked, stunned by the scene. What did they see? Someone had actually braved the thunder tribulation and struck the ancient emperor's heir!

This catastrophe is so terrifying, who can dare to enter it? They will be struck to death at any time!

But the Dragon King was not afraid. He seemed like the real king of taboos who had really come to the world. He was rampant and could break the calamity cloud with his bare hands. He rescued the dragon girl calmly and attacked the goddess of heaven, sending her and the calamity cloud flying for eight hundred feet. It was truly terrifying.

"You? Why?" The princess of the Golden Cave was stunned and furious. How could this happen? Shouldn't the thunder tribulation be invincible?

How come this guy is not affected!
"You want to strike me with thunder? You'll need to practice for another eight hundred years!" Wang Hongwu crushed the thunderbolt with his bare hands, and suddenly a true dragon image appeared behind him. A thousand-foot-long dragon tail was swung out, dispersing the vast thunderclouds and directly hitting the Golden Fairy, who flew up, spitting blood from her mouth and unable to stop retreating.

He had an advantage of one move at the beginning, and now his realm is two levels higher, which is even more terrifying.

"How could the Golden Goddess be injured so quickly?!" "Strictly speaking, it's because she's two small realms higher, but she had a one-move advantage at the beginning, so it's normal that she's a little faster now."

People were shocked, and then realized that there was a gap in realm. However, it was also very scary. He cultivated faster than the ancient royal heir, which was simply scary.

How could there be such a monster, chasing after the ancient royal heirs and forcing all the geniuses to practice and break through desperately? The pressure is too great and it hurts people's self-esteem.

Since the celestial maiden who was originally closest to the sarcophagus was repelled, Wang Hongwu naturally became the one with the greatest advantage. He wanted to take the sarcophagus without hesitation.

But at this moment, a terrifying pressure appeared, suppressing both his and the Dragon Girl's bodies, and even solidifying the surrounding void into a ball, making it impossible to break free.

Immediately afterwards, dense rain of light appeared in the sky, blazing and dazzling, turning into dazzling divine rays. A saint descended, with blazing light shooting from his body, making the stars and the moon dim. The powerful waves were like a vast ocean, vast and boundless. Some of them rushed over to fight for the sarcophagus.

The saints came, and the energy they brought with them turned into a holy rain that fell down, and the aura was so strong that people's bodies were about to break apart.

Most of the people collapsed, and many people knelt down. They didn't want to do this, but the pressure made them tremble, and their bodies instinctively surrendered.

"The pressure from the Holy Land!" Everyone shouted, showing expressions of horror. They were all horrified. This was a kind of wild and domineering aura that swept across the entire world, making all living beings like ants, all submerged and able to struggle.

A saint is beyond the scope of human beings, so he is called "saint". The transformation from a king to a saint is like a fish leaping into a real dragon, which is a fundamental qualitative change.

The first to attack were a demon saint and a ghost saint from the underworld. Their roars and tremors shook the void, causing the sky around Wang Hongwu to collapse and form a black hole, which directly trapped him and the dragon girl inside, making it impossible for them to escape.

Then the two saint-level masters fully activated the laws of the holy domain, and their bodies were connected with tens of thousands of great road waves. The oppression caused the heaven and earth to collapse, separated the fairy light and holy spring, and grabbed the sarcophagus on both sides.

“It’s changed hands again?” People were shocked. Three groups of people had changed hands so far. Could the two saints now take the sarcophagus away?
Under their gaze, the Demon Saint and the Ghost Saint simultaneously opened the lid of the sarcophagus, revealing expressions of surprise.

However, something unexpected happened. What greeted them in the coffin was not the treasure, but a surging evil!

Ah!
The demon saint screamed in pain as he was swept away by the terrifying evil spirit that rushed out of the sarcophagus. His body was shattered and he almost died on the spot. His soul fled at a high speed but could not break free and was sucked back by the evil spirit, destroying it inch by inch.

The Golden Crow Saint of Huosang Star died just like that!

Then, a hand stretched out from the sarcophagus, grabbed the Ghost Saint of the Underworld, crushed its body on the spot, and blood rained down.

The evil aura corroded the Ghost Saint's soul, and even injured it severely. Only one percent of his strength remained. He was extremely miserable, and he let out wails. He almost died here.

"My immortal god, the Fighting Saint Emperor, what is inside the coffin? Killing a saint is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!" People were horrified and frightened by this scene. It was too scary.

At this moment, Wang Hongwu also glimpsed the scene inside the coffin through his Sun and Moon Celestial Pupil. His expression changed suddenly. In this coffin?!
"There is someone in the coffin!" Duan De also saw a corner and exclaimed, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

There was indeed someone in the coffin.

But not the Divine Emperor.

It is not a so-called god.

"A stone man, a holy spirit!" Wang Hongwu took a breath of cold air. What he saw in the coffin was a broken stone man!

Its body was covered with cracks, half of its head was missing, and its right arm and left leg were broken off, as if pieced together, as if it had experienced a brutal and deadly battle.

There are array patterns on his body that can reverse life and death, but they have been worn out over the years, and the origin has dried up and has no vitality. Whether it is Nirvana rebirth or proving the truth through corpse, they all ended in failure.

It turned out that the coffin did not contain the Divine Emperor, this was just one layer of the sarcophagus.

Looking at the remains of the Holy Spirit that failed to reverse life and death, Wang Hongwu immediately reacted and looked at the ghost stone statue in his hand.

This was a set of serial killing formations, a humanoid formation that had been refined by the quasi-emperor of the ancient heaven with all his life's efforts, and had been passed down. It was said that there was a time when there was no emperor, and a holy spirit was born, causing chaos in the world, but was eventually trapped and killed by the old members of the ancient heaven with such a formation.

This wreckage was probably left behind by the Holy Spirit, who fell into the ruins of the gods with the shattered ghost stone statue, and then found the stone coffin of the gods, escaped into it, and prepared to reverse life and death and undergo transformation, but failed. His injuries were too severe, and without the elixir of immortality, he was ultimately unable to recover.

Seeing that one of the two saints was dead and the other was seriously injured, Wang Hongwu suddenly became excited. He rushed towards the sarcophagus, threw out his own sarcophagus, and put the small coffin inside the big coffin, trying to put this one inside as well.

"You are courting death by trying to seize the opportunity of the sage!" At this moment, the Ghost Saint, who only had his primordial spirit left, suddenly became furious and made a move to snatch the treasure. Even though his own strength was about to fall from the holy realm, he would not allow a mere powerful being to snatch the treasure from him!

"Old Duan, today's opportunity cannot be missed. Let's kill a saint too!" Seeing that he still wanted to take action, Wang Hongwu was also eager to try. He suddenly threw out the quasi-emperor ghost stone statue and the Nantianmen divine tablet, hid himself in the broken immortal cauldron for protection, and controlled the quasi-emperor soldiers to attack.

"Okay, okay, little dragon man, you actually have such an adventure. I was right about you. These are enough to set up the formation. What Ghost Saint? Bah! I will kill you today!" Duan De also became excited. He used all his skills. Saint-level formation platforms flew out one after another. There were also incomplete extreme formation patterns arranged based on the ghost stone statue, covering the Ghost Saint's soul.

A terrifying and boundless killing array barrier was formed, and the dragon girl came with a long roar, suddenly reviving the Dao mark of the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell in her body, and leading the phantom of the ancient imperial soldier to kill, the three of them worked together to kill the saint!

The Ghost Saint of the Underworld, whose physical body had been crushed, struggled, but even his soul was seriously injured and he could not break through the blockade of the Quasi-Emperor Killing Formation and the Incomplete Extreme Dao Formation. Although the strange vision of the South Heaven Gate and the divine forms of the heavenly soldiers and generals were continuously blasted and dispersed by him, they kept regenerating and held him back tightly.

"My God, this is too bold!" "Saint-killing? Are you crazy? Are you going to create an unprecedented feat?"

Not to mention the myriad races in Beidou, even the creatures from outside the domain were stunned. It was too wild!

Although he relied purely on external forces and formations to defy the will of heaven, if he were to really kill them all, the entire Beidou and the surrounding star fields would be shaken. This was something that had never happened before.

"Don't even think about it!" The Ghost Saint's soul went crazy. Even though he was about to fall from the holy realm, he was still fighting desperately. The blazing lights around him intertwined, building a new order. This was a new world. He was creating the world, and endless chaotic energy was everywhere. He actually managed to create a piece of heaven and earth to protect himself despite the killing formation.

"It's a pity that your stone statue is so damaged that it can't unleash its true power. Otherwise, it would have shattered directly. We can only use it in this way, and the power has been greatly reduced." Duan De lamented. If it weren't for this, how could this Ghost Saint possibly withstand it? He would have been strangled to ash as soon as he came up!

Although the Holy Spirit was trapped and killed that year, the nine stone statues were also almost destroyed, which can be said to be a lose-lose situation.

"If it were really intact, I wouldn't be able to get it now." Wang Hongwu shook his head without any pride. He knew clearly that this time he was relying purely on external forces and not on his own strength at all. In addition, the Ghost Saint was in extremely poor condition, which led to this situation. It was far from the real meaning of killing the Saint, but a seed was planted in his heart.

"Taiyi, mobilize the quasi-imperial soldiers!" The dragon girl showed her power, and a forbidden weapon that the ancient emperor had personally refined rushed out from her crown. Possessing the power of a quasi-imperial soldier, it turned directly into a dragon-shaped purple sky thunder and struck down, causing the Ghost Saint's soul to tremble on the spot. Wang Hongwu also revived the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, and suddenly slashed out a star-field energy sword, nailing it into its soul, forcing it to let out a terrifying scream.

Duan De also cursed and threw in the Divine Source Burning Array to cheer. Under such crazy strangulation, the already seriously injured Ghost Saint's soul found it difficult to resist. The Holy Spirit's evil was still corroding him. He was penetrated by three forces in his soul and screamed.

He could imagine what kind of huge waves would be caused if he was killed. The three of them would surely be recorded in the history of cultivation, and he, as a loser, would highlight their achievements and would also be recorded in history as a pathetic foil.

Who would be willing to be famous throughout history while being reduced to a stepping stone on the other hand?
However, no matter how unwilling he was and how shrilly he screamed, it could not change anything. He was doomed to die in the end. All the array patterns burned and shook violently, crashing into its soul with a momentum of total destruction, causing it to explode completely.

Bang! The Ghost Saint's soul could no longer resist and exploded on the spot, completely disappearing into smoke.

Kill the saint!
