Chapter 456 The Primordial Pearl Appears
Upon closer inspection, just as he had predicted, Xiao Shi was indeed in the center.
Again, the Four Saints besieged Xiao Shi, while Yuanshi Tianzun just stood by and watched, not even helping to protect Xiao Shiyi. He was furious. This is called unwavering loyalty to the death.
Fortunately, Taiyi quickly realized that Yuanshi Tianzun was still protecting Xiao Shi, and that Donghuang Zhong was about to arrive, so he calmed down again.
The sages breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the formation had been broken. Now that Di Xin was no longer amplified by the formation, he would certainly be no match for them. As long as Di Xin was captured and his leader was lost, the Shang Dynasty would surely fall into chaos, and Xiqi could take advantage of the situation to invade.
Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by Emperor Xin's predicament, Zhunti ruthlessly burned a drop of his essence blood, his palms creating a series of afterimages as he pressed down on Emperor Xin.
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately blocked the palm strike and countered with a banner.
At that moment, Donghuang Bell arrived and, disappearing into the shadows, smashed down hard on the back of Zhunti's head.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, what are you doing? Didn't you see that Di Xin even beat you up? If you were to seduce the Human Emperor to protect your disciple, you would have achieved your goal," Zhunti shook his slightly dizzy head in exasperation. What kind of saint is this, beating people up indiscriminately?
"Whose side are you on? Di Xin slaughtered disciples of the three religions, so can't he be killed? Now he's feeding his spiritual pearl with the blood of the saints, so can't he be killed?" Zhunti questioned, unaware that the blow to the back of his head wasn't from Yuanshi Tianzun.
"None of your business." After saving Nezha, Yuanshi Tianzun continued to focus on Chang Hao's condition. If Chang Hao could handle it, he would put some pressure on him, hoping to force Chang Hao to break through that line as soon as possible. If Chang Hao could not handle it, he would of course provide some support.
He was focused on protecting Chang Hao's path to enlightenment, and couldn't even care about his elder brother and younger brother, so how could he possibly care about Zhunti's life or death?
Chang Hao couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. His spiritual energy was completely depleted. After all, he didn't have the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and his spiritual energy wasn't limitless.
Seeing the raging winds, waters, and fires approaching Lintong Pass, Chang Hao was extremely anxious. He decisively burned his essence blood and merit power, a desperate act, in order to regain his peak condition.
He had used this move at the very beginning of the creation of the world, and he never expected to use it again.
The Golden Crow Body, which had been dormant deep within the Primordial Pearl, was awakened by Chang Hao's great action. The spiritual energy within it was continuously supplied to the original body, re-establishing a connection with it...
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled bitterly. Chang Hao was really getting desperate. In order to prevent Chang Hao from treating him casually, Yuanshi summoned the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds to surround the boundary between Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire and Lintong Pass, so that Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire would stop spreading here.
Taiyi watched as the earth, wind, water, and fire continued to encroach upon the surrounding area. Seeing that Xiao Shi was not only repelling the saints but also having to maintain the boundary line, he also took action to prevent the earth, wind, water, and fire from spreading further outward.
At Lintong Pass, Bigan finally arrived, only to encounter such a great calamity. Looking down from the city wall, he immediately saw his nephew, the king, fighting against many others in the desolate area outside the city gate. He couldn't catch his breath and collapsed.
"Hey, hey, hey... hurry up, call a doctor! Honestly, they have absolutely no faith in the King." Shen Gongbao pointed and gestured, then stared into the distance with shining eyes, his gaze filled with admiration. The King is truly amazing...
Chang Hao glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun and the golden figure in the distance, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't delve into it at the moment.
The Hongmeng Pearl was almost there. In order to fully protect the transformation of the Hongmeng Pearl, Chang Hao raised his sword again, holding Cangmin in one hand and Renhuang in the other, controlling the Four Swords of Zhuxian with his mind. Although the sword formation was broken, the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian was still not to be underestimated.
"Here we go again..." Tongtian wailed, raising his longsword, its gleam dimmed, and bracing himself for the challenge...
Chang Hao regretted that he couldn't be in two places at once; if he had a clone, the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian would definitely be much greater than this.
As soon as this thought arose, a three-legged golden crow totem silently appeared behind Chang Hao. A shadow materialized from the void, let out a clear cry, spread its wings, and soared into the sky.
The world was bathed in gold, and the golden crow soaring in the sky was even brighter than the sun, moon, and stars. It transformed into a Dao body, and the young Lu Ya shone as brightly as the sun and moon, and moved as freely as the stars.
Lu Ya (the Golden Crow body is called Lu Ya to avoid confusion) flew a small circle, stretched its muscles and bones, and then stood behind Chang Hao. The main body and the clone were back to back. Chang Hao felt very mysterious and immediately realized that this was his half-body.
Lu Ya's Golden Crow Body was derived from the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, a method for achieving sainthood for the Golden Crow, which was explored and adapted by Chang Hao and Yuanshi, and finally finalized by Hongjun. Furthermore, Hongjun would occasionally take Luo Hou's blood and use it to make elixirs, thus transforming his physique into that of an innate demon god.
At that moment, Lu Ya stood on the Black Lotus of Annihilation, with four swords growing from his back, wielding the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords. Originally, he held the God-Slaying Spear in both hands, exuding a majestic aura and emanating a chilling wind. This contrasted sharply with his own golden radiance, leaving all the saints speechless.
Chang Hao's true form wielded two swords, and the chaotic purple jade lotus pattern between his brows gradually became clear.
Chang Hao fought to the death with the saints time and time again, and finally gained some insight. He crossed the last barrier, and his main body and clones simultaneously drew their swords...
"Ah..." Tongtian and Zhunti were going crazy. One such troublesome person was enough, but now he had to use a clone technique. Did he want them to die?
Nuwa was hit on the head three times, leaving her questioning her existence. But Chang Hao insisted that Nuwa's blood was somehow different for the human race, and so, Nuwa was in for a rough time…
Zhunti nearly vomited blood in anger. "What?! Heaven, you're unfair!!!"
"Oh no..." Tongtian exclaimed in shock. Stimulated by this visual feast, Tongtian finally remembered everything from the past and the great wish he had made before losing his memories of Chang Hao. He was so angry that he wanted to devour himself, and almost cried. He was heartbroken and devastated. "Who plotted against this leader?!"
That's clearly not what he planned!
Laozi gave Tongtian a sharp rebuke, "Are you stupid? Chang Hao is going to arrest us again and bleed us dry. If you don't resist, you'll just be locked up until the day Chang Hao remembers you."
Yuanshi's face was only enough for Chang Hao not to beat him up like Zhunti, Jieyin, and Tongtian. When it was time to bleed him, he was ruthless. Although he wasn't being bled out yet, he would still get cuts on his body from time to time, and he had lost quite a bit of blood.
“Little Ten…” Taiyi stood on the periphery, his eyes shining brightly. Only that dazzling figure remained. A surge of pride welled up within him. This was his own nephew, Taiyi’s own nephew, who had seized the creation of heaven and earth and was favored by the Great Dao. How could he not obtain the supreme Primordial Dao Fruit?
The Hongmeng Pearl drank the blood of countless immortals and gods. The numerous quasi-saints at Lintong Pass had already made the Hongmeng Pearl shine with spiritual light, sweeping away the haze. Finally, it absorbed the blood of saints, and the entire Hongmeng Pearl was full of vitality, with a unique life force flowing through it.
