Chapter 298: Chapter 167: One Sword to Cleave the Heavens, the Human Heart to Suppress the Heavenly Heart
"No, my Heart of the Starry Sky!"
It felt the Heart of the Starry Sky within It gradually slipping from Its control.
The Heaven of this realm went completely berserk!
It couldn’t fathom how a mere human could possibly refine the Heart of the Starry Sky, which It had placed at the very core of Its consciousness!
But now, It could no longer afford to think about it.
It only wanted to break free from this place that was trapping It and eroding Its consciousness!
Although the erosion was extremely faint, It could still feel it.
It was as if a portion of Its consciousness had been devoured by the boundless Divine Thought radiating from the surroundings.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
An immense consciousness, powerful enough to shatter the celestial vault and tear apart the heavens, suddenly erupted.
The consciousness of this realm’s Heaven seemed to ignite, furiously ramming into Wang Xiao’s newly manifested, and still incomplete, Grotto Heaven.
’Such terrifying power! I’m really going to die!’
Wang Xiao felt a heart-rending, soul-tearing pain suddenly course through his entire body.
His Divine Thought felt as if it were being ceaselessly sliced by countless sharp blades.
This slicing acted directly upon his Spirit, a pain ten, even a hundred times more intense than death by a thousand cuts.
Even with Wang Xiao’s incomparably strong will, he couldn’t help but feel his consciousness blur, nearly passing out from the pain.
Just then, he suddenly received a message from the Book of Space-Time and couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
It finally succeeded!
’I can’t hold on much longer. Both my body and consciousness will likely be annihilated soon. But before that happens, I can properly experience the power of a Grotto Heaven and feel what it’s like to refine a planet’s consciousness. It’ll be good preparation for refining Earth later on!’
Wang Xiao wasn’t actually worried about the death of his body and consciousness.
After he left this world, this body was destined to dissipate without a trace, returning to Heaven and Earth.
As for his consciousness, it was merely a Soul Projection. If it was lost, it was lost!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just condensed two Dao Fruits only to immediately evolve his Inner World and Purple Mansion into a Grotto Heaven to refine the planet’s consciousness.
This was an incredibly precious experience.
An experience that not even powerful Tier Nine Life forms like the Chaos Nether King could give him!
’Continue the refinement!’
Wang Xiao endured the indescribable, excruciating pain and spurred on his seemingly endless Divine Thought to continue refining the planet’s consciousness.
All sorts of profound and peculiar sensations welled up in his mind.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—
Under the frenzied assault of this realm’s Heaven, his Grotto Heaven was becoming more and more fragmented.
It was as if the sky were falling and the earth were caving in. Enormous cracks appeared everywhere, and what looked like a meteor shower rained down from above.
These were signs that the Grotto Heaven was about to perish.
’Before it’s destroyed, let me do one last thing!’
While savoring the sensation of refining the planet’s consciousness, Wang Xiao glanced down at the group of terrified Immortal Emperors below.
Finally, his gaze landed on the Blood Sea Ancestor and Yuan Chongtian.
He knew there was a high probability that after the planet’s consciousness returned to normal, these two would perish directly from their lifespans being exhausted.
However, just in case, it was best to eliminate these two unstable elements first.
Without another thought,
BOOM!
Wang Xiao stomped on the Void, and the space beneath his foot seemed to infinitely collapse into a single point.
The surrounding Void was pulled toward him like a curtain.
’So this is the mystery of Space?!’
A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
In an instant, he appeared before the Blood Sea Ancestor and Yuan Chongtian.
Or rather, he had made the Blood Sea Ancestor and Yuan Chongtian instantly appear before him!
"Celestial Destiny Emperor!"
The Blood Sea Ancestor and Yuan Chongtian, having just had their Spirit Roots—the very foundation of their cultivation—forcibly stripped away by this realm’s Heaven, were now extremely weak.
Even so, upon seeing Wang Xiao, the two instinctively tried to resist.
The Blood Sea Ancestor summoned his Blood Sea—now reduced to what could only be called a lake—and sent it surging toward Wang Xiao.
The dim Stars around Yuan Chongtian’s body also emitted a faint glow.
But it was all futile!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—
With a casual wave of his hand, Wang Xiao summoned a boundless, surging power.
Like an eraser wiping away a drawing, he instantly obliterated both the Blood Sea Ancestor and Yuan Chongtian, leaving not a single trace behind.
Seeing this, the pupils of the other Immortal Emperors contracted violently.
A moment ago, they hadn’t taken advantage of his predicament to strike.
But they hadn’t helped Wang Xiao, either!
They worried Wang Xiao would attack them as well.
With Wang Xiao’s current strength, killing them would likely be effortless.
However, Wang Xiao’s gaze merely swept over them before he paid them no further mind.
The next moment,
RUMBLE—
A sound erupted from within Wang Xiao’s body, like the war cry of ancient gods from a primordial era!
All one thousand two hundred and ninety-six of his Acupoints erupted with blazing beams of divine light!
They were like sharp swords soaring to the heavens, piercing his body from all directions.
Until finally, his entire being transformed into a beam of light.
This beam gradually solidified, seemingly becoming a heaven-piercing sword that tore through the Void, shattered everything in its path, and charged into the sky with a great roar!
CLANG!
A world-shaking Celestial Sound, like the cry of a dragon, swept out boundlessly, spreading to the endless horizons.
In the blink of an eye, it spread to every corner of the world, reaching the ears of every living being.
Even the Cultivation Immortality Realm could hear this utterly magnificent sound, transmitted through the Celestial Gate.
And then, all the Immortal Emperors discovered that the sky itself seemed to have been torn open.
The surrounding Void was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Invincible Road, which had trapped them for a million years, was vanishing bit by bit!
The true Heaven and Earth slowly appeared before their eyes.
