C997 He Came out of His Shell
Time gradually passed. Hong Zheng was getting weaker and weaker. The roots of the Black Lotus above his head had completely extended into his body. His bones were tightly wrapped around, and it was a complete mess. Looking at this body from the outside, apart from being a little thin and weak... There was nothing unusual about it. However, the inside of this body was riddled with holes, and even the Primordial Spirit had been parasitized.
In his abdomen, a thumb sized divine embryo was being nurtured, and the second Primordial Spirit was also growing. A year later, Hong Zheng's vital energy was like a thin thread, and he had already reached the point where he was like a lamp that had run out of oil. He was so thin that he was like a bag of bones.
There were still three days left until he reached the Weakness Period.
Centipede Venerable, Black-robed Man, Wutian, and the others arrived once again. They looked at Hong Zheng, who was sitting there. On top of his head, the Black Lotus had already become the size of a washbasin. On top of it, there was a lotus seed. The lotus seed released a terrifying fluctuation. It was the fruit of Hong Zheng's life.
Wutian looked at the lotus seed with excitement. "There are only three days left. I'm going to break through to the Weakness Period."
"Three days later, when the lotus seed matures, Hong Zheng will fall. He is a Great Sovereign, and there will definitely be strange phenomena when he falls. He will come back at that time." Centipede Venerable said. The few of them then started to leave.
"I'll go out first. When the time comes, I'll definitely fight my way into the Sovereign Land and bring you out." Hong Zheng said and opened his eyes. His eyes were cloudy, without any luster.
Chicken nodded, "Alright, Wutian will break through to the Weakness Period. When the time comes, you will break through as well, and that will be enough to cover up your Weakness Period."
Three days later, the entire Dantian Great World suddenly became dark, and everyone felt a sense of heaviness. Especially the cultivators of the Donghuang, their hearts felt even heavier.
"The scene of the fall of an Emperor!" Monarch Yechen opened his eyes, "This kind of fluctuation isn't an ordinary Great Emperor."
Heiye suddenly opened her eyes. "It's Hong Zheng!"
Her face was pale and she had a bad premonition. Apart from Hong Zheng, who else could cause such a phenomenon?
The sky changed dramatically, and a storm was brewing. Countless black Fiendgods appeared in the sky, and exploded on the spot. The starry sky began to explode, and many stars exploded on the spot. A rain of blood rained down from the sky above Donghuang. It gathered together and turned into a blood river.
Dang! When, when.
White bells appeared one after another, full of killing intent. Death knell descended from the heavens, the sound miserable, making one's heart tremble. Su Murong, Bai Yuhan, and the others raised their heads, tears streaming down their faces. They couldn't be wrong. That was Hong Zheng's aura!
"Has Hong Zheng finally fallen?" Sky Emperor appeared with excitement in his eyes.
Xiong Dadi climbed out of the one-dimensional void, looked up at the sky, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Golden Giant Crab, Hong Wangtian, all the people who knew Hong Zheng saw this scene. Their faces turned pale. Even Zhang Runsheng had a serious expression on his face. "He fell?"
Devil Devouring Beast. The Eight Trigrams Dragon Horse, the ancient Red Hou, and the others had previously visited a dimensional void. When they walked out, they sensed something and tears appeared in their eyes.
Su Muwan threw herself into the embrace of Heiye and sobbed silently, "Husband... has he fallen?"
Heiye's lips were trembling as he caressed his abdomen. His tears were like beads with broken strings. "No, he didn't. We'll wait for him to come back."
Although Hong Yasuo was only eight or nine years old, he was very sensible. "Father won't fall so easily. He must still be alive."
The unusual phenomenon was transmitted to the Southern Country. Centipede Venerable, Black-robed Man, Wutian, and many other ancient emperors heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards the Ten Thousand Spirit Prison.
In the Ten Thousand Spirit Prison, Hong Zheng was sitting with his legs crossed, his limbs stiff. All of the life force in his body had been destroyed, and his head was helplessly dangling. The Black Lotus emitted a heaven-shaking brilliance, and endless light fell down from it. It wrapped around Hong Zheng's corpse.
No one noticed that a large hole had appeared on Hong Zheng's back. After that, a fist-sized figure walked out from his back. He used the divine ability of the Phaseless Body, turned into a ray of light, and flew into the void.
He turned around and looked at his old body. Then, he looked at the Black Lotus and the Nailhead Seven Arrow Book that was left in his body. A cold and disgusted expression appeared in his eyes. The Black Lotus had completely matured. Then, it flew out of Hong Zheng's head.
Then, Hong Zheng's old body fell towards the sky and turned into ashes on the ground, completely disappearing.
"He's finally dead." Wutian said with a smile.
Centipede Venerable held the Black Lotus in his hand. The lotus seed on it was colorful, and it was constantly emitting light. He sent his Divine Sense into it, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. "What a stunning person."
"Twelve Immortal Qi, several cultivation systems, and various Laws. Unfortunately, the Ninth Stage Body wasn't sucked in. " Centipede Venerable said, then handed the lotus seed to Wutian. "This lotus seed contains the Dao Fruit of Hong Zheng's lifetime. It's enough for you to break through to Perfect Emperor's realm. Go to the sky above the Southern Kingdom and announce to the world that you will become Perfect Emperor."
Wutian swallowed the lotus seed in one gulp. At the same time, he rushed out of the Ten Thousand Spirit Prison and arrived above the Southern Kingdom.
In the void of the Southern Kingdom, Wutian had swallowed the lotus seed. The ripples that he emitted were earth-shattering. It spread across the entire Dantian Great World. His body enlarged at an incredible speed, and he turned into a huge centipede. It had almost occupied half of the Dantian Great World.
As soon as he appeared, the twelve strands of immortal Qi on his body started to gush out and interweave on the surface of his body. All kinds of divine abilities were interweaving on his body. That was Hong Zheng's Divine Palace of Saber and Axe, which released the Cloud Sword Spell and his Demonic Dissolving Divine Light!
"That's Hong Zheng's Dao Fruit, it's them who killed Hong Zheng!" Heiye's expression was solemn.
"Today, I will become Perfect Emperor!" Wutian's voice was loud and deep, filled with a sense of majesty. The ripples he emitted spread far and wide. All the major worlds and dimensional spaces felt it.
This kind of feeling. The ripples were too strong. No one could ignore them!
"My name is Wutian." Wutian roared. He had reached the peak of Weakness Period. Centipede Venerable stood beside him and protected him, preventing all kinds of people from attacking him. The Fourth Sovereign King of the 72 Sovereign Kings of Great Dao had appeared. He was even stronger than the previous Sovereign Kings. His entire body was like bronze, and he held a scepter in his hand as he pointed it at Wutian.
Perfect Emperor's appearance was enough to threaten the Great Dao.
A cold light flashed in Centipede Venerable's eyes. "You are courting death!"
He came from the outside world. He had all kinds of ways to deal with this Great Dao. A great war broke out in the Southern Country. Centipede Venerable had transformed into his original form. His entire body was covered in dense scales, and he waved his hundred feet around. All of them were straight like spears. He was nailed to ___'s body, forcing him to retreat.
Wutian's energy waves were just too strong, and no one noticed it. In the starry sky of Donghuang, there was another man who was at the Weakness Period. It was a man the size of a fist, only the size of a fist. He was sitting cross-legged on a meteorite, suppressing all the Qi in his body.
