Capítulo 1659: Chapter 492: The Beginning of the Strongest Battle_2
Upon receiving the information transmitted by the Great Master’s spirit, Zhao San Yue released her vice-like grip on the Demon-Revealing Mirror.
Moments later, Zhao Xuanjing, Emperor Weiyang, and Great Master Pu Du dissolved into nothingness, leaving Zhao Sheng and Zhao San Yue as the sole figures remaining.
With a crucial mission entrusted to him, Zhao Sheng felt an immense urgency.
Observing the departure of the ancestors, he immediately addressed Zhao San Yue, “Great Ancestor, I must also depart. The Divine Continent is now in your capable hands.”
Zhao San Yue’s gracefully arched eyebrows shot upwards, and her voice cut through the air with chilling resolve, “As long as I stand here, not a single hidden demon shall escape my grasp. Go, and have no worries. I am here!”
A wave of relief washed over Zhao Sheng. He bowed deeply to Zhao San Yue once more before closing his eyes, entering a profound meditative state to locate the Light Point of the Desolate Wall Settlement.
Whoosh!
In the very next instant, his presence vanished entirely from Zhao San Yue’s perception.
…
Yuanxu Square.
Along the central thoroughfare of the workshop, the Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord had been maintaining his vigil for close to a full day.
He remained standing with an air of serene composure, his gaze fixed on the area beyond the workshop, a profound, inexplicable anticipation gleaming in his eyes.
At this juncture, the void directly above him blazed with exceptionally brilliant and dazzling stars, and countless star rivers shimmered with intense radiance, seemingly drawing in some power of unimaginable magnitude.
Suddenly, a figure materialized from thin air just outside the workshop – it was Zhao Sheng, who had returned with haste.
Ascending into the sky, Zhao Sheng covered hundreds of feet in a single bound, appearing before the Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord in a flash.
The Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord’s eyes erupted with a dazzling divine light as he urgently inquired, “What is the situation?”
Zhao Sheng offered a slight smile and promptly transmitted a wave of consciousness, laden with a wealth of information and visual data, to the Star Lord.
The Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord swiftly received the mental transmission, instantly “witnessing” a multitude of incredibly vivid scenes.
These visual records clearly depicted the fierce confrontations of Zhao Xuanjing against Old Ghost Wanxing and his four powerful subordinates, including Bai Ze.
While the Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord might not have recognized Old Ghost Wanxing, he would undoubtedly identify Bai Ze, Yinglong, and Candle Dragon.
As the old adage wisely states, “Your greatest enemy is often the one who understands you best!”
This sentiment holds particularly true for Wanxing and Gang Sha, who were locked in a bitter rivalry.
The startling appearance of Bai Ze, Yinglong, and Candle Dragon—the underlings of Old Ghost Wanxing and the triumvirate of the strongest divine beast envoys—simultaneously within a lower realm was a development of profound significance.
The Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord was acutely aware of the implications of this revelation.
He drew a deep breath, successfully suppressing the surge of elation within him. With a hasty instruction, “Wait here,” he then ascended into the starry expanse, vanishing without a trace.
Zhao Sheng tilted his head upward, his gaze fixed on the distant “starry heavens” of the Outer Domain, his heart filled with eager expectation.
Not long after, the celestial panorama abruptly underwent a dramatic transformation!
An innumerable host of stars suddenly blazed with incandescent glory, and celestial beams of light descended, enshrouding Yuanxu Square and its surrounding environs, thereby converting the area into a resplendent realm of starlight.
In this moment, Zhao Sheng felt as though he were immersed within a flowing river of stars, his entire field of vision awash with radiant celestial bodies.
At this precise instant, he perceived a majestic wave of consciousness, an immense power that spanned all heavens and universes, supremely great and eternally enduring!
Subsequently, countless stars appeared to awaken, their radiance coalescing to form an unimaginably vast “visage.”
Though its features were indistinct, this cosmic “face” exuded a presence that transcended all things, searing itself indelibly into Zhao Sheng’s spirit, destined to be forever remembered.
Following this, one “Great Star” after another emerged from the profound depths of the myriad star rivers, plummeting earthward.
Instantly, a spectacular “meteor shower” commenced across the sky.
Each “Great Star,” trailing a long, luminous tail, blazed across the heavens, hurtling towards the distant Outer Domain.
Witnessing this awe-inspiring spectacle, Zhao Sheng felt as though he had emerged from a profound dream, his inner flames of will igniting with dramatic intensity.
His entire being abruptly coalesced into a roaring inferno, pursuing the trajectory of the meteor shower with astonishing speed.
The pale, desolate earth blurred rapidly beneath him as countless whispers reached Zhao Sheng’s ears, yet their influence on his thoughts was significantly diminished, filtered by the potent flame of his will.
After a mere dozen breaths, the landscape below had receded dramatically. Zhao Sheng had already soared to the very edge of the continent.
Ahead, the celestial meteor shower plunged downwards, vanishing from his sight.
A jolt of surprise coursed through Zhao Sheng’s heart, and he exerted his utmost strength, his already formidable flight speed suddenly doubling.
In the blink of an eye, he had traversed hundreds of miles!
By this point, the pale earth lay far behind, and a vaster, more incredible world unfolded before his astonished eyes.
Mists swirled below, and upon the somber earth, colossal volcanoes spewed forth, their molten rock cascading down the slopes, coalescing into rivers of burning embers and vast, fiery lakes.
One after another, celestial bodies impacted the ground, gouging bottomless chasms across the landscape.
Zhao Sheng’s eyes glinted, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his mind.
His demeanor shifted abruptly as he turned his gaze behind him.
The sight that greeted him was astonishing, an image so profound it nearly surpassed the limits of comprehension.
Sprawled across the immense, unending terrain, the skeletal remains of a gargantuan, gray-white beast commanded the center of the earth,
It possessed a serpentine, elongated form, stretching beyond the perception of sight, its rearmost half submerged beneath the soil, its true extent unknown.
This peculiar skeleton, a fusion of dragon and serpent, defied all bounds of measure; even in its repose, its narrowest section stood a staggering eight hundred miles in height.
It conveyed the impression of a legendary Divine Dragon, whose corporeal form had vanished over eons, leaving only an eternal, unyielding skeleton.
Its upper portion pierced the veil of clouds, its colossal, gray-white skull emerging from the misty expanse, precisely where Zhao Sheng had descended.
Conversely, its lower extremities burrowed deep into the terrestrial depths…
Suddenly, a realization dawned upon Zhao Sheng; it must have emerged from the underworld, seemingly provoked by an adversary or adversaries.
The events of countless ages past remained a mystery.
Yet, the outcome was undeniable: this immensely powerful “Divine Beast” had perished on this very spot, its demise appearing abrupt.
It suggested that the foe it confronted possessed unimaginable might, capable of vanquishing this enigmatic “Divine Beast” in a singular, decisive confrontation.
A profound understanding struck Zhao Sheng’s consciousness.
The Yuanxu Square was situated atop the cranium of this magnificent “Divine Beast.”
What, then, of the Gui Xu Square?
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Sheng connected disparate threads of thought…
However, he swiftly quelled extraneous musings, enveloping himself anew in his Will Heart Light, and descended rapidly toward the ground, soon plunging into one of the abyssal craters.
…Two paths diverge, each leading to a new manifestation! Time recedes momentarily.
In the southwestern reaches of the Divine Land, Zhao Sheng materialized abruptly above a treacherous, jagged peak.
His gaze swept across the surrounding panorama, and his physical form began to expand with remarkable speed.
One hundred feet,
Two hundred feet,
…
Nine hundred feet,
One thousand feet,
In mere moments, Zhao Xuanjing had metamorphosed into a colossal giant, exceeding a thousand feet in stature, his entire being appearing forged from pure gold.
The very fabric of the void fractured, and the titanic giant strode into the oppressive darkness of the sky, unleashing a punch that shattered the spatial-temporal barriers ahead, revealing a vast, spherical orb of light.
The thousand-foot colossus that Zhao Xuanjing had become stepped towards this Light Ball and plunged both hands deep within it.
As an inexhaustible torrent of power surged from its core, Zhao Xuanjing effortlessly propelled the Light Ball forward, venturing into the deeper, more profound echelons of the Divine Palace Heaven.
With a resounding rumble…
Zhao Xuanjing charged onward, obliterating the third layer of spatial-temporal restrictions, ascending to the third Near Heaven.
Near Heaven manifested as a realm where stellar rivers converged, an infinite expanse of stars and luminous cosmic currents stretching as far as the eye could perceive.
At this juncture, Emperor Weiyang and the venerated Great Master Pu Du finally materialized, appearing from the ether thousands of miles in Zhao Xuanjing’s wake.
“Heehee.”
A chilling, disembodied laughter suddenly reverberated through the surroundings, emanating from within the Light Ball.
In the subsequent instant, an opening materialized on the surface of the Light Ball, and the spectral Old Ghost Wanxing, along with the mythical Bai Ze,
