Chapter 291: Chapter 164: The Book of Space-Time’s Tremor, Fighting Heaven
A rumbling thunderclap accompanied his voice.
It defied the void, reaching everyone who laid eyes on him in an instant!
"You dare destroy the Invincible Road I created, and you even seek to refine my heart!"
"You deserve Death!"
At first, his voice was stilted, tinged with an extreme dissonance.
However, as he spoke, that dissonance vanished in an instant.
In its place was a silent, cold, and indescribably monstrous killing intent!
The moment the voice rang out, Wang Xiao could clearly sense the void around him twisting and seething, generating an immense repulsive force against him!
It was as if Heaven and Earth themselves were pressing down on him all at once!
Wang Xiao’s expression shifted slightly. The moment "Heaven" appeared, he felt the Book of Space-Time’s refinement process seem to halt.
An invisible force seemed to be obstructing the Book of Space-Time!
[Wear down the planetary consciousness to resume refinement.]
It was a rare message from the Book of Space-Time.
’Wear down the planetary consciousness... How do I do that?!’
Wang Xiao gazed at the young man in the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the other being, far surpassing any Immortal Emperor he knew!
Nearly every Immortal Emperor present was no match for him.
He let out a breath, Dao Power circulating through his body as he looked toward the being called "Heaven" not far away.
[Analyzing...]
[Analysis Complete.]
[Planetary Consciousness: By a stroke of luck, it was influenced by the Heart of the Starry Sky, left here by a fallen Tier Nine Life. It birthed a sliver of self-awareness and sensed that the planet will be destroyed in one hundred million years. It thus seeks to transfer its consciousness to the planet beyond the Celestial Gate.]
[To select a vessel capable of containing its consciousness, it opened the Celestial Gate and established the Invincible Road, hoping to choose the strongest in this realm.]
Wang Xiao stared at the lines of text appearing before him, his eyes flickering.
He finally understood the planetary consciousness’s goal!
The planetary consciousness had indeed been mutated by an external force, giving rise to its self-awareness.
However, it had sensed its own planet was doomed to perish in a hundred million years, and so it wanted to escape!
Furthermore, the planet it inhabited had been irradiated by light from a Meteor originating from the Unobservable Cosmos, causing a Wormhole—similar to the Deep Sea Ruins—to appear, connecting to other planets!
This was the Celestial Gate they now saw!
Using the power of the Celestial Gate and the Heart of the Starry Sky, the planetary consciousness built the Invincible Road behind the gate, luring Immortal Emperors to it!
Through millions of years of competition, it sought to find a body that could contain its consciousness and allow it to truly become human!
Maintaining the Celestial Gate consumed immense energy, which was why the planetary consciousness could only open it periodically.
Now, it seemed the Celestial Gate connecting the two planets was about to cease to exist, its energy reserves depleted.
If this planetary consciousness didn’t find a suitable body soon, it would perish along with its planet!
’So, even "Heaven" fears death once it gains consciousness. It was willing to spend so much time searching for a suitable body. After all, a vessel capable of housing an awareness as vast as Heaven’s isn’t easy to find!’
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes.
The questions that had clouded his mind now had answers.
The task at hand was to help the Book of Space-Time refine the Heart of the Starry Sky within this planetary consciousness!
’I might not be able to defeat this planetary consciousness, but I should still be able to wear it down and create an opportunity for the Book of Space-Time to complete its refinement!’
As Wang Xiao considered this, his fighting spirit began to surge.
He gazed at the Heaven of this realm and spoke in a calm tone:
"If you want to kill me, then come and try!"
The Heaven of this realm took a step forward, and a violent tide erupted in the void.
His voice resounded in the ears of every Immortal Emperor:
"He who kills this man shall attain eternal life!"
He didn’t need to act himself. His casual words were like an imperial edict, sending a thrill through the hearts of all the Immortal Emperors!
They had embarked upon this Invincible Road not just to find the path forward, but for the sake of eternal life, had they not?!
Now that "Heaven" had appeared and made such a promise, who wouldn’t be tempted?!
The moment the voice of this realm’s Heaven faded, all the Immortal Emperors felt the barriers on their respective mountain peaks dissolve.
They could now attack one another freely.
Wang Xiao sneered.
"Impressive for a spirit. It even knows how to use a borrowed knife to kill. But think about it—why did it establish the Invincible Road? Its goal is nothing more than to obtain a body."
"I have a Technique to slay Heaven. If you want to live, then join me in slaughtering it!"
The Blood Sea Ancestor spoke up. "Slay Heaven, you say? Excellent! Celestial Destiny Emperor, I will join you!"
He soared into the air, a bloody mist swirling around him as if he were about to fight alongside Wang Xiao.
However,
as he neared Wang Xiao, an endless Blood Sea surged forth, enveloping him. The void itself was crushed, sending terrifying ripples through space!
He had just felt his life force draining away at a frantic pace.
In this part of Heaven and Earth, no one could save him except "Heaven" itself.
He had no choice but to be the first to strike!
At the same time,
Yuan Chongtian, whose lifespan was nearly at its end, also launched a ferocious attack on Wang Xiao!
With every step, it was as if an entire world was bearing down on Wang Xiao.
Two titans who had lived for a million years had, at the exact same moment,
chosen to fight for Heaven!
