For some reason, Heaven felt that something wasn’t right, but he didn’t pay it too much attention. Wang Chong was dead, and all the human experts were already dust. With his vast army of otherworldly invaders, there was no one left who could oppose him.
“Once We get those last three Stones of Destiny, We can finally get Our long-desired wish!”
Heaven’s eyes began to burn with enthusiasm.
Heaven had never been able to control these Stones of Destiny, so he had never been able to fully research their secrets. However, as the strongest existence in the world, Heaven could sense the incredible power and laws suffused within them.
So long as he could get the last three Stones of Destiny, he could obtain an immense and absurd strength!
Buzz!
Heaven brought his index and middle fingers together and swiftly brought them up to the center of Wang Chong’s forehead. At that moment, a powerful energy began to make its way to the depths of Wang Chong’s mind.
Heaven was already very familiar with the process. With a single thought, he could easily remove the three Stones of Destiny from Wang Chong’s body.
Bang!
But just as his energy began to seep into Wang Chong’s brain and wrap around the stones, something completely unexpected happened.
With a massive boom, the Stone of Destiny in Wang Chong’s mind exploded with light, a massive energy howling out like a tsunami and jolting away Heaven’s power.
Moreover, this energy even transformed into a golden barrier with a diameter of about ten feet that pushed Heaven away from Wang Chong’s side.
And then something even more shocking transpired. Wang Chong’s body was in tatters from the fierce battle, and Heaven’s final attack had blasted apart his meridians and even shattered his skull. He was dead as dead could be. But at this moment, Heaven clearly saw golden light flowing out of Wang Chong’s body like lava and bringing together the remains of Wang Chong’s body.
This golden light was suffused with an absurd vitality, and this vitality began to restore Wang Chong’s body at an incredible speed, bringing together his shattered meridians, rebuilding his organs, merging his bones, and making all of them stronger and stronger…
At the same time, a vigorous vitality began to radiate from Wang Chong’s body.
“Impossible! Simply impossible!”
Heaven’s eyes flew open, and he trembled in disbelief.
He understood more than anyone else the power he had used in his attack. Heaven had not simply given Wang Chong’s body a heavy injury. He had also injured Wang Chong’s soul. This power from another world could deal terrible damage to martial artists, and Wang Chong should have had no chance at surviving.
Someone that Heaven had killed should not have been able to revive.
But…
Bang!
A hint of vicious killing intent flitted across Heaven’s face. Without the slightest hesitation, he summoned energy from his dantian and savagely punched at Wang Chong.
As he punched, black energy surged out. The moment it appeared, it created pitch-black spatial fissures in the air.
Bang!
With a massive boom, the earth groaned and sundered, but Wang Chong and that golden barrier vanished as if they were an illusion.
“You can’t run!”
Heaven’s eyes chilled, and he instantly located Wang Chong once more.
He was now sure that all the various things that had occurred, including that sense of wrongness he had felt, originated from Wang Chong.
But no matter what that energy was, he would not give Wang Chong the chance. No power could stop him from getting the last three Stones of Destiny.
Bang!
A moment later, an even greater power erupted from Heaven’s body, and the winds howled around him as the figure of that massive otherworldly god manifested once more. And this time, the enormous figures of the Celestial Emperor appeared with it—not just three, but six.
Heaven’s power had reached a terrifying level, far stronger than he had been at any point in the past.
No matter what was happening with Wang Chong, one punch would be enough to obliterate him without even leaving a corpse.
Buzz!
Heaven had barely begun to move, that decaying and chaotic death energy yet to erupt, when suddenly, as if time had stopped, Heaven was frozen in place.
His body trembled, and on that divine visage which looked down on all living things, a hint of deep fear appeared.
“No! Impossible! This can’t be!”
Heaven’s eyes trembled, and their focus slowly turned to the center of his forehead. The seven Stones of Destiny in his mind, the ones that he had spent so many years trying to obtain, had suddenly trembled as if some power was pulling on them, and they were starting to break free of his control.
For countless years, Heaven had spent night and day trying to refine these Stones of Destiny and link them with his own life. Thus, when these seven Stones of Destiny were pulled upon, Heaven’s own energy was affected.
The influence of these seven Stones of Destiny rendered Heaven immobile, so there was no need to discuss attacking Wang Chong.
But this was far from the end of it.
Several thousand feet away, Heaven could clearly see the ‘deceased’ Wang Chong’s eyelids fluttering and then opening. At the center of his forehead, a large Stone of Destiny appeared, floating into the air as it vibrated.
Upon seeing this, Heaven suddenly understood what was going on.
“No! No one can seize Our Stones of Destiny! Nobody!”
Heaven clenched his teeth, his heart erupting with anger. He had gone to such great lengths to break free, and he had finally reached this point. No matter what, he would never permit an ant, a puppet, a prey, to steal something from him and ruin all his efforts!
Bang!
Heaven unleashed all his latent potential, a terrifying eruption of Psychic Energy and Stellar Energy engulfing everything within one hundred thousand feet of Heaven. All the human soldiers, and even many otherworldly invaders, were instantly obliterated.
Wang Chong could use his Stone of Destiny to try to steal his things, and he could turn it around and use his seven Stones of Destiny to try to take Wang Chong’s.
None of his seven were comparable to the size of Wang Chong’s, but when put together, they were about the same size.
More importantly, Wang Chong had just been revived and was still far from being a match for him.
In this universe, no one could oppose him!
As Heaven was exerting all his power, Wang Chong opened his mouth and said, “Heaven, you’ve lost!”
As he spoke, his aura swiftly began to transform.
Wang Chong’s body had been so ravaged that he had been no different from a dead man. Even if he had recovered, he had still lost all his strength and wasn’t much stronger than an ordinary person.
But with the power of the golden seed, Wang Chong experienced a momentous transformation. In a few short moments, his power grew many times stronger. The True Martial realm, the Profound Martial realm, the Imperial Martial realm, the Saint Martial realm… He had soon passed the Subtle realm and entered the Grotto Heaven realm, and his strength was continuing to climb.
At this moment, Wang Chong’s body was like a giant black hole. He was not using any sort of art, but all of the world’s power was rushing into his body.
The golden seed was the World Seed, and when it sprouted, all the energy in the world was available for him to use.
“Hmph, no matter what’s happening with your body, you will never be able to match Us!”
Heaven’s face chilled at Wang Chong’s words, and he immediately gathered up all his Stellar Energy and sent higher universal energy into the seven Stones of Destiny.
Though he had never been able to control these Stones of Destiny over the years, he had not been completely without progress. He was able to harness some of their power. This was how he was able to break the seal, and even break the barrier between the human world and the world of otherworldly invaders to occupy the body of their god.
Buzz!
The seven Stones of Destiny at Heaven’s brow erupted with light and began to radiate the same energy pulses as Wang Chong’s Stone of Destiny. There were silver rays of light coming out of these Stones of Destiny, flowing into Heaven’s body and through his feet into the ground.
At that moment, the foundational energy of the world began to enter Heaven’s body.
Yes! Heaven’s ultimate goal was to use the ten Stones of Destiny to devour the foundational energy of the world and make it his own.
But a moment later, before Heaven could fully utilize the power of the Stones of Destiny, a formidable rejecting force emerged from the Stones of Destiny.
Several different energies abruptly appeared within the seven Stones of Destiny. It was as if a floodgate had come down, hindering the connection between Heaven and the stones.
“This is impossible!”
A hint of shock appeared in Heaven’s eyes.
He had possessed these Stones of Destiny for an extremely long time now. In the past, he had attempted to use them numerous times, but a situation like this had never occurred.
Moreover, the earliest of these seven had died more than ten thousand years ago. He knew that he had killed all of them and wiped all traces of their energy from the Stones of Destiny. How could this…
Buzz!
Heaven realized something, and his body trembled in shock.
