Primordial Era: The Great Celestial Venerable on the Road to Mythology

Chapter 40 The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl Breaks Immortality, Yu Tuo Saves Me

The entire city of Diguan was stunned.

"The Heavenly Emperor...is gone?" someone asked in disbelief.

"Is he scared? Is he abandoning his men here?"

"No!" Meng Tianzheng stared intently at the disappearing figure, his gaze deep. "He must have gone to do something."

……

Yaochi nodded slightly and said to Taibai Jinxing, "His Majesty has gone to comprehend the Great Dao of this realm. The rest is up to you."

Venus bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will not fail in our mission."

He straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the five imperial edicts that were approaching, and smiled slightly—his smile remained kind, but a cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoists, since His Majesty has entrusted this matter to us, let us show these barbarians from foreign lands the methods of the Heavenly Court."

Lu Ya could no longer contain himself. Upon hearing this, he flashed and transformed into a golden rainbow, soaring straight into the sky.

He revealed his true form as a three-legged golden crow, his wings spread wide, blotting out the sky and the sun's true fire burning fiercely, tearing through the void—You wanted to come? Then come!

Zhao Gongming shook his head helplessly, but he also summoned the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and followed closely behind.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are innate spiritual treasures. Although they are only of medium grade, because they are a complete set of twenty-four pearls, their power is no less than that of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and may even be greater.

Although Zhao Gongming was unable to fully explore its mysteries, his ability to unleash its power for attack was not to be underestimated.

Zhao Gongming activated his magic, and a Sea-Stabilizing Pearl emitted five-colored light, transforming into a dazzling stream of light that hurtled straight towards An Lan.

The five-colored rays of light illuminated the starry sky, distorting the void wherever they passed.

An Lan sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, her expression changed slightly, but she remained calm.

He moved.

The golden spear in his hand burst forth with blazing divine light, dazzling and radiant, its brilliance tearing even the rules of immortality.

That was his top-tier Immortal King weapon—the Spear of Tranquility, which had accompanied him through countless eras of conquest, slaughtering countless powerful enemies and drinking the blood of heroes from the heavens and the earth.

At that moment, he threw his spear directly at the stream of light that the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl had transformed into.

This battle was a battle of annihilation, a battle of life and death. He would not allow anyone to interfere, nor did he believe he needed anyone's help.

At the same time, he was quite proud. In this world, I, Anlan, am the heavens; who can rival me?

The next moment, the golden spear and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl collided violently in the void.

boom!

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled, and the void shattered. The nine heavens and ten earths trembled, and the broken universe was burning!

The scene was astonishing; massive stars exploded here, transforming into a sky full of fireworks. Energy fluctuations spread like a tidal wave, chilling even immortal beings to the bone.

The people of that foreign land were cheering, singing and dancing, their bodies trembling with excitement.

In their hearts, Anlan Ancient Ancestor was unparalleled throughout history, and no one in the world could rival him. Even if those six people had mysterious origins and powerful auras, they would surely bleed under Anlan Ancient Ancestor's spear.

However, their smiles froze the next moment.

Zhao Gongming's face showed a strange expression, and he beckoned to take back the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

This was the first time he'd ever encountered such a fool—trying to fight a naturally formed spiritual treasure against a spiritual treasure made through acquired means. Wasn't that just asking for the spiritual treasure to be destroyed?

The reason why innate spiritual treasures are called innate is because they are evolved from the laws of heaven and earth and the indestructible spiritual light. To destroy an innate spiritual treasure, one must first break that indestructible spiritual light.

How can the defense of the undying aura be explained? It is said that the undying aura must undergo the baptism of the long river of time in the primordial world before it can be slowly born.

Within the long river of time and space, there is a power of time and space, each of which contains the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space. Although it is not as pure as that of a sage, its power is not inferior when its infinite quantity is superimposed.

The Twelve Primordial Ancestral Witches were so powerful because they cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, their physical bodies undergoing the baptism of the river of time, giving birth to an indestructible spiritual light. If we do not consider innate spiritual treasures, only a sage could injure or kill the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

To be honest, if the demon race hadn't waited for Houtu to reincarnate and hadn't sown discord between Gonggong and Zhurong, they would have been no match for the witch race.

Ultimately, the reason both sides suffered heavy losses was due to the Slaughtering Witch Sword—that sword was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure crafted by the demon race using undying spiritual light and rare materials obtained with all their might. It could break through the physical body of the Ancestral Witch and also slaughter humans to collect their vengeful souls, using their resentment to break the evil aura within the Ancestral Witch's body, thus easily breaking through. Otherwise, the demon race would undoubtedly have been defeated.

An Lan's golden spear, although he forged it with rare and precious materials and the laws of the Great Dao, is ultimately just an acquired item. How can it be compared with an innate spiritual treasure?

Unless the difference in cultivation levels between the two parties is too great, it might be possible to forcibly suppress an innate spiritual treasure with the cultivation of the Great Dao.

However, it is pointless to try to confront an innate spiritual treasure head-on—because an innate spiritual treasure is fundamentally indestructible.

Even if it were possible to destroy it, no one would be foolish enough to do so. Leaving aside the immense power required, the karma incurred by destroying a primordial spiritual treasure is enough to deter most people. That is something formed from the laws of heaven and earth; destroying it will inevitably incur divine retribution.

Therefore, Anlan met a tragic end.

The golden spear shattered upon impact with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, scattering into countless fragments.

"puff--"

An Lan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. The spear was intertwined with his life and mind; its destruction now severely injured him as well.

"Ancient Ancestor Anlan's weapon... destroyed?!"

The foreign army was completely stunned. This was a fact they could not accept.

That weapon existed for eternity, intertwined with the life of the Anlan Ancestor, possessing boundless power, and was the faith of the Anlan Imperial Clan. At this moment, all beings from other realms were shaken.

Gazing at the radiant, five-colored pearl, everyone was filled with doubt: "What is this thing? How can it possess such power?"

An Lan himself was shocked. The Crimson Spear had actually been destroyed—he couldn't believe it himself.

He had lived for countless years, had been invincible throughout the heavens and earth, and had destroyed countless eras, but he had never encountered anything like this before.

His expression was solemn, and for the first time, genuine fear appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Gongming, however, would not give him a chance to catch his breath.

He raised his hand, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was summoned once more. Its five-colored light shone even brighter, carrying the power to suppress all ages, and crashed down towards An Lan.

An Lan dared not use his spear to meet the attack head-on again, and had to hastily summon his Immortal Shield to defend himself.

boom!

Another loud bang.

The Immortal Shield followed in the footsteps of the Crimson Spear—shattering into dust and scattering in all directions.

An Lan was blasted away by the impact, tumbling hundreds of feet through the air before barely managing to regain his footing. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his armor was tattered, and he was in a sorry state.

At this moment, panic finally appeared on his face. It was something that had never been seen in countless ages—a crack appeared in his invincible Dao heart.

He is not truly invincible. He can also be defeated, and he can also die.

At this moment, he was in a real crisis, and his life was in danger.

"Yu Tuo! Save me!"

An Lan finally set aside all her pride and sent out a cry for help into the depths of the foreign land.

The voice was filled with an unprecedented sense of panic and fear.
