Ch. 142 - Awakening the Hell Suppressing Deity Physique

He could only look up, in fact, he wasn't even qualified to look up.

He was like a beaten, dead dog thrown to the side of the road. As much as he hated to admit it, at that time, he was truly weak to the point of insignificance.

In his previous life, when the Wandering Dragon Sword tore through the silent void, and Chu Yang came charging at him wielding his universe-grade divine blade, riding an ancient God Beast to take his life...

He frantically and pathetically poured all his cultivation energy into the Primordial Chaos Bead, trying to tear open space and escape.

In that moment, space collapsed, time froze, and boundless spiritforce flooded the heavens.

Then, he was reborn. Sent back to the day it all began.

…………

Upon hearing Xu Zimo's words, Chu Yang was silent for a moment. Then he slowly raised his head, his gaze clear and resolute, and said, "I don’t understand exactly what you mean. But I, Chu Yang, have never feared anyone on this path I've walked. Whether it’s your True Martial Sacred Ground, or the fact that you're the son of the Vice-Lord of an Imperial Lineage, I’ve never been afraid. Even if I’m weak, without resources or backing, I’m willing to fight with everything I have. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Everything I possess has come from my own opportunities and efforts. My conscience is clear."

Xu Zimo shook his head with a smile and replied, "None of it really matters anymore. To fully part with the past, and to show you respect, I will defeat you with my full strength, so you can understand the despair I once felt. That kind of despair where even resistance is unimaginable... when you look up at a mountain, but you’ll never know how many more mountains lie beyond it."

"Then let’s see!" Chu Yang’s eyes blazed with determination. He raised his sword and shouted to the heavens,

"I, Chu Yang, though born insignificant as dust, will live brilliantly like the blazing sun!

I want my light to shine for eternity.

I want my name to be known across the Five Continents.

I want my name to spread throughout the entire Primordial Heartlands!

That is my Dao!"

“Shining for eternity? Known across the Five Continents?” Xu Zimo laughed to the sky, a laugh laced with madness and suppressed rage. His voice dropped into a low, menacing growl.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with an indescribable insanity.

"But I... I... I just want to crush you under my feet. Imagine it. Really imagine it. That feeling must be so beautiful. I can feel my heart about to burst from my chest. So excited. My heart is excited. My blade is excited. I'm truly... so damn excited. Excited to slice you into a thousand pieces. To gut you... to tear you limb from limb...!"

Xu Zimo looked up at the sky and slowly closed his eyes. In that moment, a terrifying demonic aura began to radiate from his body.

“The sky has turned blood-red!” someone in the crowd murmured, gazing upward.

Thunder roared through the sky. What was once calm and peaceful now churned with black storm clouds.

Dark clouds surged across the heavens. Thunder growled, lightning rampaged.

Demonic aura erupted in the sky. Xu Zimo slowly opened his eyes.

His hair had turned blood-red, wild and unruly atop his head. Strange patterns appeared on his face, purple streaked with black.

His eyes were pitch black, with torrents of immense demonic energy swirling deep within them.

The blood vessels in his body pulsed visibly, as if they were about to burst.

Xu Zimo stepped into the air, wrapped in endless demonic energy. In the sky above, a black lightning dragon roared.

With one slash of his blade Shadow Tyrant, a deafening dragon’s roar shook the air.

The shadow-dragon pattern on Shadow Tyrant seemed to come alive. The entire blade transformed into a dragon-shaped weapon.

This weapon had always been forged from high-tier materials, infused with the soul of a Shadow Dragon.

Back when it was a mortal-grade weapon, the dragon soul had been dormant.

Now, Xu Zimo had elevated it to a heaven-grade weapon, further infusing it with the solar and lunar essence, heavenly thunder, earthly fire, torrents, and hurricanes, six elemental forces.

Now that the dragon soul had been awakened, the Shadow Dragon roared, its massive form spiraling in midair. Lightning surged, torrents raged, flames roared, hurricanes ripped through the sky.

Xu Zimo stood atop the dragon, the apocalyptic sky serving as his backdrop. He looked down on the world like a demon god descending to earth, his emotionless gaze coldly surveying the mortal realm.

…………

At that moment, Chu Yang felt his Azure Cloud Battle Physique trembling, a shudder that came from deep within his soul.

He couldn't control it. Looking up at the figure in the sky, he was filled with fear, no, it was his Battle Physique that feared.

"The First Battle Physique, the Hell Suppressing Deity Physique," Xu Zimo said calmly as he stepped through the sky.

As the words left his mouth, not only the ordinary disciples below, but even the sect masters of powerful factions stood up in shock.

"Impossible," Wu Shaoqing muttered in disbelief, staring at the demonic figure above. "How could the First Battle Physique appear in this era?"

The revelation shook everyone to their core. The Hundred Battle Physiques were legendary in the Primordial Heartlands.

Their origins were even older than Heaven’s Will itself.

Over the ages, as more battle bodies appeared, people had become less surprised by them.

There were even stories of geniuses with great battle bodies failing to seize the Heaven’s Will.

But among the hundred, three were exceptions, the top three.

Those three had never appeared. Not even rumors.

One wise man once prophesied: "The top three Battle Physiques shall not appear lightly. But when they do, they shall appear together, heralding an era of unparalleled brilliance."

Grand Emperor Zhen Wu was great. He created the Imperial Era and was the first Grand Emperor of the human race, yet even in his time, the three never appeared.

Grand Empress Hongtian was legendary. She stood undefeated and influenced generations of emperors, yet even in her age, no word of the three.

But now, the one hailed as the supreme battle body had appeared.

…………

"Now, I become a mountain standing in your way," Xu Zimo stepped through the sky and smiled.

"Come, Chu Yang. Defeat me. Climb this mountain, and your dream of shining for eternity will begin!"

Chu Yang’s gaze hardened. The Azure Cloud Battle Physique surged with green light into the sky. The Yin-Yang Life Diagram hovered above his head. Sword in hand, surrounded by yin and yang energy, he charged directly at Xu Zimo.

"PAK!"

A palm descended from the heavens, shrouded in dark demonic energy. Chu Yang was slapped away like a rag doll.

He crashed heavily into the nearby iron chains.

Xu Zimo landed on the arena stage and smiled lightly. "The game has only just begun. Don’t disappoint me."

“I will never give up!” Chu Yang wiped the blood from his lips and charged again.

"PAK!"

Another palm. Chu Yang was sent flying once more.

Xu Zimo clenched his fist. The space around it instantly shattered.

From within his body, energy from his True Fate World continuously merged into him, as he entered the most powerful state of the Hell Suppressing Deity Physique.
