Chapter 222 Nezha, the Troublemaker!
[Substitute: Zhang Wenchang from Tai Xuan Sect!]
[Transmission successful!]
[Selecting a new candidate...]
The voice from the sky remained cold and merciless, like a dull knife, cutting into everyone's hearts again and again.
But those supreme beings in the forbidden zones, after a brief moment of shock, suddenly came to their senses.
Since we can't find that other world—we can start with the candidates!
Possessing another's body, replacing someone else, taking their place.
This path is not impassable.
Moreover, the dark turmoil cannot be stopped. Since it's a random selection, wouldn't the spots naturally fall to them if all living beings in the entire universe were wiped out?
As for the fall of a single Stone Emperor causing them to abandon their journey to the Primordial World?
That's absolutely impossible.
The killing, which paused for a moment, resumed.
An entire race was uprooted, and ancient stars were plunged into eternal night.
Blood stained the Milky Way, wronged souls obscured the sky, and the surviving creatures huddled in the corners of the world, trembling with fear.
"Who will save us?"
"Void Emperor... Emperor... where are you? Humanity needs you!"
"Your Majesty, please come back soon!"
In this darkest hour in the universe, people can't help but recall the last upheaval—it was that man who stepped forward and single-handedly shouldered the burden of all living beings.
And now, at the same time again, they are thinking of the same person again.
The Void Emperor.
On the edge of the universe, an ancient mirror covered in patina trembled slightly, its surface mottled with rust.
The light grew brighter and brighter, like a heart slowly awakening in the darkness.
——
The Big Dipper, Central Plains.
Gai Jiuyou stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the blood-red setting sun slowly approaching on the horizon.
The entire universe was wailing; the sound pierced through time and space, drilling into his ears and into his bones.
He coughed lightly, his face showing indescribable exhaustion and helplessness.
"Having already found the path to immortality... why commit such atrocities?"
He muttered to himself, but a golden light gradually ignited in his eyes.
To the utmost, to fight to the death.
This was his final journey.
But just as he was about to take that step—
The blood-red setting sun suddenly vanished!
Immediately afterwards, an extremely angry roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Damn it! Where did this thief come from, daring to steal my secret treasure? He's asking for death!"
Countless people who didn't have time to escape looked up in surprise, their eyes filled with tears of relief.
Who was it? Which hero saved them from those terrifying supreme beings?
Gai Jiuyou also stopped his ultimate ascension and turned his gaze into the distance.
There was a little boy wearing a bright red bib.
Holding a round, equally bright red ball in his hand, he looked at it over and over a few times, and then—stuffed it into his mouth.
"Crack!"
He chewed it twice, frowned, and spat it out.
"This is awful! I thought it was some kind of treasure! It has a fishy, gamey smell that's disgusting!"
Gai Jiuyou narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the child.
He had never seen this person before, nor could he discern the level of their cultivation. Could this person be the son of some great emperor?
But the fact that he could crush that powerful treasure in one bite clearly shows that he has some skill.
I just don't know if they can withstand the attacks of that supreme being.
Gai Jiuyou did not move, but secretly prepared to make a move.
The rest of the supreme beings,
Whether they were stirring up unrest or still lurking in the restricted area, they all turned their attention to this place.
They wanted to see what kind of background this arrogant young man had.
After Nezha finished complaining, he clapped his hands and made as if to leave.
"stop!"
Abandoned Heavenly Venerable's face was ashen, and the blood-red runes on his forehead throbbed as if they were about to explode.
That Qi and Blood Bead was made by him using Phoenix Blood Crystal, one of the Nine Great Immortal Metals, through a secret method. It can instantly absorb the Qi and Blood of all living beings to nourish itself.
Although it is not as good as the Imperial Weapon, it is not far off.
It was snatched away by this wild kid who appeared out of nowhere, and he even chewed it up!
He suppressed his anger and did not act immediately.
He couldn't see through the other person—this child seemed shrouded in a mist, and he couldn't figure out his background at all.
But the gazes coming from all around were increasing and becoming more and more piercing.
No matter what, he was once an ancient emperor.
If we let this little brat just swagger away like that, doesn't he have any dignity?
"No matter where you came from, you monster!"
A blood-red rune flashed between the brows of the Abandoned Celestial Venerable, and a red sword shot out from the sky!
The heavens and earth changed color, and a sharp aura carried an aura powerful enough to sever ties with the mortal world.
It sliced through heaven and earth; all mortal objects and laws trembled under its sword!
"Anyone who dares to block my path to immortality shall die!"
However, faced with this earth-shattering attack, Nezha merely lazily raised his hand—
A gentle grab.
The blood-red longsword was like a snake being held by its vital point, struggling desperately in his hand, but unable to break free.
The crimson light on the sword flashed wildly, and the blade cut into his palm, but it didn't even leave a white mark.
"It's boring, it's boring."
Nezha glanced at the sword in his hand and pursed his lips:
"A pretty face but no substance."
He casually tossed the imperial weapon, forged from immortal gold, onto the ground like a piece of scrap metal.
Oh, right—
He clapped his hands again and added:
"I'm not just talking about this sword. Everyone in this city is like that. All show and no substance."
"Outrageous! This is outrageous!"
The Heavenly Venerable was furious, and the blood-red runes on his forehead suddenly exploded!
He reached the pinnacle of his power, his aura overwhelming, like a demon god from ancient times, and struck Nezha with a palm!
As an ancient emperor, to be so scorned by a mere child is an insult that can be met with death but not humiliation!
When that palm strike was unleashed, the world changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, and even the void itself crumbled inch by inch under the force of his palm!
But Nezha still looked disdainful.
"This is your world of Shrouding the Heavens? It's nothing special to me."
He tilted his head:
"They're only slightly stronger than the natives of the Dou Qi Continent."
In his eyes, although the attack of the Abandoned Celestial Venerable looked impressive, every move he made was full of flaws.
It wasn't because their vital energy was depleted, but because the heavens and earth were flawed, causing their cultivation methods and Taoist practices to be incomplete.
A fire-tipped spear appeared out of thin air in Nezha's hand, and with a flick of the spear tip, it sprang forth like a serpent emerging from its hole.
The overwhelming palm force of the Abandoned Heavenly Venerable was easily deflected by his spear, as if he were tearing open a tattered cloth.
"Ha! Damn it! Damn it!"
The Abandoned Celestial Lord went mad, each strike fought with all his might, burning his life force and his soul.
"I'm going to kill you! I'll tear you apart and suck your marrow! You'll become my food!"
No matter how crazy or desperate he was, in front of Nezha, he was like a toddler waving his fists.
With a gentle flick of his spear, his attack vanished like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
As Qitianzun saw that his life force was about to be burned out, the madness in his eyes grew stronger.
He had no way out.
