Chapter 168 Guillotine
For more than one million years, the heavens and myriad worlds that have entered the Dharma Ending Age have been very peaceful. Apart from the destruction of the vast heavenly court spanning hundreds of worlds and more than a hundred enlightened beings, there has never been such a grand occasion as today.
There are actually creatures who want to go against the will of heaven in this extremely cruel Dharma-Ending Age and impact the realm of immortality. Moreover, the possibility of success is very high, and the light of immortality will illuminate all the worlds.
The avenue is full of golden lotuses, nectar falls from the sky, divine springs gushed out from the ground, celestial music is pleasant to the ears, fairies fly from the sky… Countless sacred visions appear in various worlds and bloom in the cold deep space of the universe.
Everyone was shocked and speechless. It was too shocking. In this terrible era, it was extremely difficult to achieve enlightenment, let alone the illusory immortality. In their opinion, this was the first time in the history of the world.
Especially those creatures who stood in the extreme realm, they integrated the Heavenly Heart Seal and were particularly sensitive to the changes in the heaven and earth. They were surprised to find that the destiny had changed, and the Dharma Ending Age seemed to have taken a turn because of that supreme creature’s impact on the immortal path.
At the very least, the shackles of becoming an immortal have been weakened, the light curtain at the top of the sky has become visibly thinner, and the time for the recovery of spiritual energy has been greatly advanced, making it no longer so despairing.
“So powerful, who is it?” The enlightened man stood at the end of heaven and earth, gazing into the distance, his mouth wide open in shock.
They couldn’t see Wang Heng’s figure through the boundary wall, and could only know that someone was becoming an immortal through the vision of immortality.
In the world where Wang Heng lived, the phenomenon of becoming an immortal was the most intense. The entire world was illuminated, and the whole world was shocked and excited.
Who could have imagined that in their world there would be a dormant creature about to become an immortal? The path to immortality was so vague that people had only seen such descriptions in dust-covered ancient monuments. However, it was too long ago and it was unknown whether creatures of this level had ever existed.
Now, the legend has come true, immortals really exist, and everyone is shocked beyond words. No matter how much time has passed, even if they pass away and return to the earth, they will never forget what they have seen and heard today.
On top of a high peak, the second most spiritual root in the universe and a group of immortal medicines looked up at the sky and saw the brilliant light of immortality. They looked at each other and saw excitement in each other’s eyes.
“He really succeeded.”
“Looking back over the years and ancient history, there have been so many geniuses who have shone brightly and left behind a glorious reputation, but he is so special that even the end of the world cannot stop him.”
“I can feel that the aura of the Dharma Ending Age is declining. Perhaps soon, the spiritual energy of the heavens and all worlds will revive. Then, we will be able to restore our peak and return to the field of elixir of life.” An immortal medicine said happily.
When the Dharma Ending Age came, they were all cut with a blow, their spirituality was cut, their minds were hazy, and they were far from being as smart as when they were elixirs of immortality. The medicinal power also declined to a level, degenerating into the level of a miracle drug.
Once the spiritual energy revives, they will become elixirs of immortality again.
“I don’t know when we will meet again. Perhaps by then, even our memories will have been reincarnated countless times.” The Second Spiritual Root in the Universe said with emotion.
“No way, we are the elixir of life, we will last forever, and time cannot destroy us.”
“I was born in chaos, and I have a premonition that the road ahead in this life will be full of hardships, and everything may be wiped out. Nothing is eternal, especially for those of us who have no power to protect ourselves and can only rely on the elixir of life blessed by the strong.” The Second Spiritual Root in the Heavens said solemnly.
As they were talking, the calamity that befell those immortals in the mortal world came.
Chaos lightning and immortal lightning were so dense that they filled the universe. In just a moment, the vast sea of stars was extinguished, and countless big stars turned into dust and disappeared.
The shocking thunder calamity frightened all the living beings who wanted to get close and have a glimpse of the immortal’s face, including the enlightened ones in this world.
He stood in a faraway place, the shock in his eyes was beyond words.
He thought that he had successfully achieved enlightenment after going through countless hardships, integrated the Heavenly Heart Seal, and was able to suppress all others, rule the entire universe, and be the only one in heaven and on earth. But suddenly, an immortal appeared, and the aura he exuded made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.
From this perspective, he who felt invincible and lonely at the time was just a clown and could not even enter the eyes of truly strong people.
“Boom!”
Chaos Immortal Thunder descended upon the world, covering the sky and the earth, leaving Wang Heng with nowhere to escape. His hair was flying wildly, and he held the Yuanshen Sword in his hand, struggling with all his might in the horrific thunder catastrophe.
The tribulations he experienced in becoming an immortal in the mortal world were countless times more terrifying than those experienced by those immortals in the primitive ancient world of the ancient era of immortals. In particular, Wang Heng suppressed the resentment of the immortal creatures in all the worlds and underwent another transformation.
He could clearly feel that the tenth life span had transformed him completely and made him extremely powerful.
At the same time, the disaster that befell was also extremely terrifying.
There were billions of lightning bolts, endless and boundless, as if the Immortal King Heng would never give up.
It didn’t take long before the universe was shattered. If it continued like this, it would inevitably be destroyed.
Wang Heng didn’t want to let this world be destroyed again, which would further delay the time for the recovery of spiritual energy, so he came to the chaos with a terrifying thunder tribulation.
The terrifying lightning poured down, submerging his body, bombarding him continuously. Each lightning could easily destroy a true immortal.
Outsiders had no way of knowing what kind of disaster he had encountered, and even if a quasi-immortal king came, there was no chance of him surviving.
Wang Heng roared and charged forward in the endless lightning. Even though he was pierced by the immortal thunder and his body was covered with wounds, he never fell down.
“boom!”
Above the head, fairy light roared, and one figure after another walked down. They were all human-shaped, and their faces could not be seen clearly as they were wrapped in the dazzling fairy light.
Their aura was extremely powerful, which made Wang Heng feel terrified. As the son of the Immortal King, he had frequent contact with the Immortal King and knew the aura of that level.
These creatures composed of rules that walked out of the vast fairy light have definitely reached that level and are so powerful that they are suffocating.
At the end of the world, becoming an immortal in the mortal world is indeed not that easy. Even someone as powerful as Wang Heng is a little shocked.
Soon, he understood that these creatures did not appear out of thin air, but were the product of the light curtain that blocked creatures from becoming immortals.
Wang Heng eliminated all resentment. This was a great cause and effect, which was reflected in his journey to become an immortal.
At this point, Wang Heng can only face these rule creatures head-on.
“kill!”
He chanted the Eternal Scripture, and the Dao spirit in his body appeared. The sword light of his soul shone in all directions. At the same time, all kinds of terrifying spells came out of his mouth and fell on the bodies of the creatures of rules…
Wang Heng used all his means and killed like crazy, with blood splattering everywhere.
In the end, the lightning gradually died down, and the creatures of rules disappeared one after another. Wang Heng collapsed in the chaos and was almost killed by these creatures of rules.
If there had not been those horrific thunder tribulations, he would not have been on the verge of death in his duel with the rule creatures. However, the Chaos Immortal Thunder did not give him a chance to breathe and kept trying to kill him, causing Wang Heng to be unable to respond with all his strength, which resulted in him being beaten into such a situation.
Fortunately, everything is over. Those rules and creatures have dissipated, and a cause and effect has been eliminated.
Wang Heng felt relieved for a while, but then he broke out in a cold sweat and became alert.
If he had really overcome the calamity of becoming an immortal, then his body would have transformed into an immortal body, and he would have gone from a mortal to an immortal. However, there is no sign of this at the moment, which means that the calamity of becoming an immortal has not yet ended.
He felt the crisis approaching, and immediately took a deep breath. The text of the Eternal Sutra emerged and turned into a soul armor to protect Wang Heng’s soul body. At the same time, it repaired the injured body and restored his origin.
Although he didn’t know what it was, there was indeed a murderous intent in the air, which made Wang Heng’s scalp tingle.
“That is……”
He looked up at the sky and saw a red object falling from the sky, full of murderous intent and creepy.
The quaint stone steps, the mottled platform, the dark red guillotine, each one of them is suffocating and breathtaking.
The immortal guillotine!
This is a powerful weapon that hangs over the heads of all the outstanding geniuses of ancient and modern times. Throughout history, countless geniuses have died under this guillotine, too many to count. The bloodstains on the stage that have not yet dried up are proof of this.
However, the conditions for its appearance are extremely harsh, and it only appears a few times in an era. Every time it appears, the geniuses will bleed, and only a few people will survive, almost none.
It was not the first time that Wang Heng had seen this guillotine. When he was practicing the three great methods of dividing one’s body in the Yin-Yang Furnace of the Cricket Clan, he had attracted this ferocious weapon. However, thanks to the Yin-Yang Furnace that could reverse the Yin and Yang and conceal the secrets of heaven, he was not beheaded.
Later, when this era came, Wang Heng gathered the immortal realm methods, focused on the system of the primordial spirit, and created his own primordial spirit system. He was also attacked by the immortal guillotine. If it were not for the future fruit in the primordial spirit cave that took the beheading on his behalf, he would probably have died without a burial place.
Now, the Yuanshen Cave Heaven has been sacrificed by him, and the Future Fruit has disappeared. There is no longer anything to replace the disaster, so he can only go there in person.
“Om…”
The guillotine vibrated, and chains formed by the rules of the avenue extended over, binding Wang Heng layer by layer and dragging him towards the blood-stained platform, intending to behead him.
“I have created my own supreme scripture, so why should I fear a guillotine? Just chop me down and see if I die or not.”
Wang Heng was tied up and unable to move, but he was not panicked.
Because at this moment, the scriptures of the Eternal Scripture were stimulated by the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine and began to evolve. The corresponding divine form of the Dao started from the shoulders, extended all the way to the neck, and stopped under the chin.
The sudden growth of the Dao’s divine form caused the weak neck to undergo a great transformation, and an aura of eternal immortality permeated the air.
Soon, he was pressed up, his head stuck in a groove, the guillotine above his head was grim, and there was a terrifying murderous intent blooming.
If it were before, Wang Heng might have worried whether something serious would happen if he was beheaded by the Immortal Guillotine that was specifically designed to cut off the soul. But now, the place was covered by the divine form of the Great Dao corresponding to the Eternal Sutra, and all his worries disappeared.
This is out of confidence in the Eternal Sutra. You know, the Eternal Sutra was evolved on the basis of the Pacification Technique, so it is hard not to be powerful.
The next moment, the guillotine trembled slightly, and fell down violently. The dark red blade was extremely ferocious and had chopped off the heads of countless geniuses.
“Crack!”
Wang Heng was beheaded, his neck was undoubtedly cut off, his head fell to the ground with a thud and rolled several times on the platform.
What was strange was that Wang Heng did not die. His headless body grabbed the executioner’s platform and slowly stood up. Then he walked to the front, stepped on the endless blood, bent down to pick up his head, and put it back on his broken neck.
The funny thing was that he installed it wrong the first time, so he did a 180-degree turn and forced it to correct itself. Then, the Eternal Sutra started to work, and the horrific incision healed little by little, until finally there was no wound left.
Of course, this is only on the surface. The internal wounds still exist. Wang Heng was not killed, but he was also seriously injured. This is, after all, the guillotine that beheads immortals. The word “beheads immortals” is not a cover-up. The immortals in the mortal world are also immortals, so naturally they will be beheaded.
Fortunately, the Eternal Sutra protected his neck, otherwise, Wang Heng would have been in great danger and might have died here.
He stretched his neck and moved his eyes, staring at the terrifying guillotine on the ancient Taoist platform. If he could take the guillotine and use it as a weapon, it would be a perfect match for him.
With the Yuanshen Sword in the right hand and the Immortal-Slaying Sword in the left hand, he is a master of both sword and knife, and can easily slay immortals and exterminate demons.
In particular, the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine targets the soul, which is a perfect match for him.
Thinking of this, Wang Heng no longer hesitated and took action directly. He grabbed the Yuanshen Sword and rushed straight to the stone pillar above the Taoist platform where the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine was hung.
“laugh!”
He used all his strength in this sword, and with the power of the Eternal Sutra, he cut more than one-third of the stone pillar with one sword.
“has hope!”
Wang Heng’s eyes lit up and he swung his sword again, each strike hitting the same spot.
No one knows what material this stone pillar is made of. After being damaged, it recovers at an extremely fast speed. If Wang Heng takes a break for a moment, the wound on the stone pillar will return to its original state.
He didn’t dare to stop, because the Immortal-Slaying Platform was shaking, and was being summoned by a crack and was about to return.
Finally, Wang Heng cut down a stone pillar. Even without the support of one side, the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine was still able to remain horizontal, with the blade facing downward. There was a law that fixed it there.
Wang Heng let out a long roar and stretched out his big hand. The aura of eternity filled the air, emanating from the divine form of the Great Dao.
He successfully grabbed the knife, but in just a moment, his palm was torn into pieces.
The Immortal-Slaying Guillotine is too domineering and is specifically used to kill immortals.
Wang Heng felt pain, but refused to let go. No matter how the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine hit his palm, he remained indifferent. With the Eternal Sutra, the speed of breaking and repairing was basically the same, and there was no danger to his life.
But the Immortal-Slaying Platform is different. The call it receives becomes stronger and stronger. It can’t wait for the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine to return. The deep crack is about to close. If it doesn’t go back in time, it will be stranded in the human world.
Finally, a sound of breaking air was heard, and the Taoist priest no longer waited, rushing into the crack and disappearing.
