The four gates in the Heaven Suppression Fortress now turned into a castle in the skies, looking almighty and upside down; the gods within were also upside down but their movements remained unaffected.
There were four gates in the Heaven Suppression Fortress and among them, the east gate where the Fu Li safeguarded with the East Gate Army barely managed to maintain the formation’s operation as Fu Li was now on the run from two Imperial Emperors with Bi An. Hence, there was no one to command the East Gate Army.
The other three gates, activated the formations, triggering the might of the Heavenly River, forming triple killing arrays, which were the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The sacred beasts’ jaws were wide open and in their mouths was a Heavens.
On top of the fortress, the Heavens were all activated, hung in the skies like alluring worlds and the power of the Heavens flowed into the Xian Tian Royal Guard’s Stone Sentinel Maze.
In the fortress, there were 36 Heavens but three were occupied by the Heavens Kirin Carriage, one in each of the gate, another one given to Jiang Yiqi, hence, there were only 28 Heavens available now.
With the 28 Heavens activated, the Stone Sentinel Maze grew stronger and stronger.
Aside from that, there were also towers, warships, whirlpools, gods, beasts, Heavens and the Secular Worlds of the Creators in the skies.
At the same time, Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan fought against Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng, attempting to buy time for the divisions to get into formation to trigger the arrays’ power.
But were they a match for the two traitors?
In just a short time, the two human Imperial Emperors were soaked in their own blood, the situation turned dire but they remained resilient.
At this moment, the armies activated the arrays, alluring light pillars rained down from the curtain, slamming onto Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng while the Star River gushed towards them with the stardusts!
The two traitors raised their hands and their bodies shook under the immense pressure; the Heaven Suppression Fortress’ armies had attacked them through the power of the Star River, which was left behind by Great Si Ming and the Deity Kings from the Dark Age when they tried to create the Dao World. The energy contained in the river was far beyond the power of Imperial Emperors and was strong enough to rival the Heavenly River in Heaven Court, if not, stronger!
In the air, the arrays moved; these were created by Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan, arrays that utilized the power of the river to melt Imperial Emperors.
The river kept on slamming downwards, the light pillars rained down and the two traitors lost the upper hand immediately.
On the side, Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan who saw the opportunity roared, turned into innate dragons with human body, and the innate draconic scales that only covered part of their bodies now covered them entirely!
Innate lightning struck everywhere within the two human Imperial Emperors, Fu Qizhi blasted the Shao Hao Bell apart, Fu Yanshan crushed the drum and they both had experienced a rapid surge in strength after revealing the divine dragon body!
With their conjured weapon crushed, the two traitors immediately got welcomed with more than ten strikes from the skies and they were overwhelmed in an instant!
However, the arrays running in the skies were not stopped and attacks were still being rained down!
Hong hong hong—
The armies continued channeling energy into the arrays, raining down a barrage of attacks towards the two traitor Imperial Emperors and this scene shook Yin Fukang greatly who was watching from far away. There were only two Imperial Emperors in the Heaven Suppression Fortress and they were not that outstanding; originally, there were unable to fight peaked Imperial Emperors but now, the killing arrays created by Zhong Yue had entirely filled up this hole in the strength of the fortress!
These attacks… I won’t be able to take them on without the monarch weapon!
Yin Fukang thought, Besides, the main force is still onhold, I wonder what are they guarding at?
In the middle of the Stone Sentinel Maze formed by the Xian Tian Royal Guards, Zhong Yue stood there without moving at all with the 28 Heavens hanging on top and allowed the other divisions to attack at will.
Suddenly, amidst the terrifying energy explosion, another strong energy erupted, crushing the attacks and the massive shockwaves flipped Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan away!
“Leizhe Celestial Race’s divine dragon body may be as strong as the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Fuxi True Form but both of you are nothing!”
Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng’s roars resonated together and as the dust cleared, the two of them were revealed, both in the Fuxi True Form and their serpent tail were twining together.
They then spun around into the air, withstanding the attacks from the arrays as they flew up!
“You little brats, have you seen the Fuxi Celestial Race’s [Dragon Snake Twin Attacks]?”
Their voice stacked, sounded like countless voices shouting together, “You damn scrubs actually imitated the Heaven Court’s establishments! But scrubs are scrubs after all, forever useless. Now that you are all here, we will just slaughter all of you and take over the fortress!”
“This is….”
Zhong Yue’s expression changed; with the traitors revealing their Fuxi True Form, they’ve also shown two different monarch arts, which completed each other’s lackings, one Yin and one Yang, granted them the power to unleash terrifying might that was infinitely close to a monarch!
“This is the first Fuxi and Goddess Nuwa’s art of monarch strike!”
Xin Huo said, “The unrivaled combined attack, [Dragon Snake Twin Attacks]!”
Unrivaled combined attack?
“After the end of Fire Order Era, there was a chaotic period of time, where the chaotic forces ran amok. Thanks to Fuxi and Goddess Nuwa, they managed to suppress the chaos through the art of monarch strike and open the Earth Order Era.”
With a serious voice, Xin Huo said, “Never thought that apart from me, there would be someone else that knows about this art. But in their hands, the art is not the real art of monarch strike for it requires a male and a female to do so. Besides, only a male Fuxi and a female Huaxu will be able to push the art’s power to the peak. They are both male so how are they managing this? The art of monarch strike is far from perfect in the hands of two males….”
“What are their weaknesses?” asked Zhong Yue.
Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng’s body and Yuan Shen enlarged rapidly, crushing the stars in the skies and suddenly, the arrays in the skies shattered and the armies fell off their balance.
The two traitors burst out laughing and just as they were about to kill the soldiers, the divine tree flew into the skies, merged with the river and the curtain, beneath them was Zhong Yue and he was controlling the tree!
“That’s the Hundun Clan’s monarch weapon, we mustn’t stop it with brute force!” warned Feng Shenyong.
With their serpent tail still attached, the two old men suddenly landed onto the tree, slithered around it and charged towards Zhong Yue.
The young man remained calm, threw the tree away before reaching towards his saber, launched a rapid attack and cut everything in front of him into half while the traitors laughed, “Brat, how can a mere True Deity hope to rival the [Dragon Snake Twin Attacks]!?”
The saber trailed in a very odd way suddenly, vanished midair before reappearing again for million times!
Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng were both caught off guard as the saber trails dived in and out of the endless dimensions, giving off a vibe where the trails could not be evaded!
“Your blade….”
Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng both looked at the saber’s hilt in extreme terror.
The saber trails flashed past them, sliced through them and their upper body remained after their lower body was severed into pieces!
Zhong Yue grabbed onto the divine tree at the next second, pressed it down
before the two traitors could react and choked their words back into their mouth while blood gushed out their mouths!
Again, Zhong Yue raised his hands and slammed them downwards, grabbing onto the traitors and the next second, the traitors were gone and replaced by a bead in his hands as Zhong Yue threw them into the bead.
After a few seconds of heaven turning and earth tumbling, Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng opened their eyes, regained their senses back and what appeared before them was debris of the Star River and a giant sat there locked with two Star Rivers.
Fu Baozheng’s face turned white in a second and he shouted, “Godfather!”
“Crown Prince Fu Shang!” shrieked Feng Shenyong in fear.
The Fuxi giant raised his head, turned around and upon seeing them, his eyes widened, turned red. From a giant, he turned into an injured beast straight out from the barbaric era!
Chapter 997: Godfather |
“Godfather?”
Came a very sore and deep roar from Fu Shang’s throat as he kept mumbling the same word. The expression on his face was indescribable, perhaps, it was the mixture of sadness, anger, anguish, and mocking. The Star Rivers chaining onto him twined like massive serpents but each time as the rivers wrapped tighter, they weer immediately loosened again under Fu Shang’s rampaging aura!
Fu Baozheng and Feng Shenyong were both terrified as the rivers suppressing Fu Shang were perfect Six Paths Realm’s Star Rivers. Inside these rivers were ancient great presences’ seals but it seemed like they just couldn’t suppress him!
“God… Godfather….”
Fu Baozheng tremblingly said, “Do you still remember me? I am Baozheng! You chose this name for me yourself so that I will safeguard the rights and strike down the wrongs …”
“Baozheng, my godson?”
The mockings on Fu Shang intensified as he murmured, “Uphold justice? That’s right. You came seeking protection under me and I had you reborn to my tribe. Now, I constantly wondered why was I so foolish and blind by taking a monster in? I’ve sinned.”
Fu Baozheng shivered and Feng Shenyong stammered, “Crown prince, I’m Feng Shenyong, do you remember me? We are of the same race, same bloodline and I’m not reborn …”
“Of course, how can I ever forget you?”
The two traitors were reflected in Fu Shang’s massive eyes while the giant mumbled, “In my every nightmare, I can always see you all slaughtering our kin, your laughter when killing them and the smile on your faces…. Whenever I think of just how much fiercer and cold-blooded you are compared to the other monsters when you murdered our people, I’d shiver in fear. Just what kind of monster are you? How can you be so cruel?”
Feng Shenyong sweated coldly, started moving backward and smiled with a very sore tone, “Crown prince, it was time for the Fuxi Celestial Race to go and I was merely following the flow. You too, was doing the same back then, we are all the same …”
Fu Baozheng was also backing off slowly, the muscles on his face twitched and he forced out a smile, “Godfather, do you remember your children back then? I am your son, even a tiger wouldn’t eat its children. You, who is so kind will definitely forgive me, will you not?”
“Forgive you?”
With a crying tone, Fu Shang reached out his hands and shouted, “Who’s going to forgive me then!”
“Kill him!”
Feng Shenyong shouted fiercely as his strength trembled and activated the seven Heavens, “This old coot has been suppressed for a long time, his strength is not what it once was, together, we can kill him! Use the [Dragon Snake Twin Attacks]!”
“Alright!”
Fu Baozheng shouted, “Might as well kill him and….”
Before he could even finish his words and to his horror, Feng Shenyong had already ran away, causing the scared Fu Baozheng to shout, “Shenyong, you… Gehhh….”
A strange voice came from his mouth as with such a powerful palm, Fu Shang had squeezed out every inch of air in Fu Baozheng’s body, the Six Paths Reincarnation behind his head went dark one by one; Fu Shang had forced Fu Baozheng’s body and Yuan Shen’s secret realms to malfunction!
The seven Heavens above his head cracked, twisted and collapsed towards the center as Fu Shang crushed every Dao totem patterns and the stars in his Heavens, disintegrating everything contained inside.
His heart, liver, lungs, intestines and the other organs were all squeezed out from his mouth!
“Does anyone knows the torture that I’ve gone through?”
With a crazy smile, Fu Shang said with a chilling tone, “Does anyone has the slightest idea how I’ve been dealing with the pain all these years? Does anyone!?”
Feng Shenyong too, did not manage to escape from Fu Shang as he was grabbed by Fu Shang’s other hand, causing him to shout, “Fu Shang, you can’t kill me! You are also a traitor, you have no right to kill me!”
Ignoring him entirely, the crown prince launched out a light pillar from his divine third eye, sealed Feng Shenyong away while he stared at Fu Baozheng, dragged a Star River with one of his four hands and wrapped it around Feng Shenyong.
His other three hands then reached over and grabbed onto Fu Baozheng.
“I gave you your divine third eye….”
Fu Shang trembled, “Just what was I thinking? Giving you a weapon to kill my people?”
Fu Baozheng shrieked, the divine third eye was forcefully plugged out from his forehead as Fu Shang continued murmuring, “I gave you the Yin Yang eyes, now, I’m taking them back.”
Fu Baozheng’s painful cries infused fear into Feng Shenyong, who watched as Fu Baozheng’s eyes were removed from him and Feng Shenyong shouted, “Madness! This is madness! Crown Prince Fu Shang, you’ve gone mad!”
“Your tongue I gave to you will be taken away, your head that I gave to you belonged to the Fuxi Celestial Race, your nose, throat and this pair of ears….”
“I’m taking back your heart, lungs, rib cage….”
“This body of innate draconic scale belonged to we Fuxi Celestial Race, monsters like you do not have the qualifications and rights to own them….”
A screeching sound came as Fu Shang scrapped off the scales on Fu Baozheng, stabbed his hand into his throat, grabbed onto his spine and pulled it out brutally while murmuring, “This is we Fuxi Celestial Race’s spine, you are not fit to own them…. Same goes to the innate serpent tail….”
“Shed the Fuxi Celestial Race’s skin!”
“And our blood, return them to me!”
As Fu Shang fell into madness, Fu Baozheng’s skin, blood, and bones were entirely removed, leaving only a lump of dried meat on the ground.
The Fuxi True Form that Fu Baozheng was so proud of disintegrated and on top of the lump of dried meat, his Yuan Shen was still in Fu Shang’s grasp.
Fu Shang stared right into his Yuan Shen and mumbled, “This Yuan Shen is also we Fuxi Celestial Race’s spirit. Now boy, give it back to your godfather….”
“No.”
Fu Baozheng’s Yuan Shen let out a painful shriek for he was devoured by the overwhelming pain; Fu Shang was tearing his spirit and soul apart as he pulled out the Fuxi Celestial Race’s spirit from his Yuan Shen!
The pain was indescribable that it easily made the world’s most painful torturing into a toy!
It did not take long for Fu Shang to pull out his spirit but that very pain had Fu Baozheng thought that it would last for eternity! The pain was just unbearable!
Finally, Fu Shang pulled out the spirit while Fu Baozheng’s soul watched in horror and emptiness; his soul’s connection with the spirit was still there; as the spirit was crushed by Fu Shang, that emptiness in his spirit was overwhelming, pushing Fu Baozheng to the abyss and along with the emptiness, immense pain.
“I won’t kill you….”
With a very saddened expression, Fu Shang looked at Fu Baozheng’s soul and whispered, “I won’t kill my own children. Killing you will not wash away the sins you committed, nor the anger and hatr
ed in me….”
Around Fu Baozheng emerged a tiny Six Paths Reincarnation, which slowly enlarged and covered him in it.
Fu Baozheng’s mind went blank and suddenly, his missing spirit had returned to him!
His bones, blood, eyes, ears and the other body parts all returned to his body!
His strength, secret realms, and the Heavens recovered mysteriously!
Fu Baozheng was happy and surprised but just as he was about to escape, he was grabbed by Fu Shang again.
In horror, Fu Baozheng raised his head and saw Fu Shang’s saddened and crazy expression!
“Forgive you? Who’s going to forgive me?” said Fu Shang.
Then, Fu Baozheng’s Yuan Shen secret realms were squeezed until they blasted apart, the seven Heavens destroyed, Six Paths Reincarnation crumbled, organs crushed!
“I gave you this divine third eye?”
Fu Shang trembled, “Why did I give you this weapon to kill our people?”
“I gave you this tongue….”
“The heart….”
“Skin…”
“Yuan Shen…. I’m taking them all back!”
Fu Baozheng descended into a repeating nightmare, experienced the same pain again and again; the worst part was that the previous memory was still there, he could clearly remember the tearing pain!
After the pain was gone, he saw himself recovering again, only to be dismantled by Fu Shang again, showering him with another round of immense pain.
“Who’s going to forgive me!” cried Fu Shang.
“Give me back the Fuxi Celestial Race’s flesh!”
“The Time and Space Reincarnation’s nightmare! This is the Reincarnation of Time and Space!” shrieked Fu Baozheng as he tried his best to struggle away from this nightmare.
In Crown Prince Fu Shang’s hands, the Six Paths light wheels slowly spun, reverting time and space again and again so to ensure Fu Baozheng would experience the pain over and over and live in eternally in endless sufferings!
In this place, Fu Baozheng was sealed away, locked in this nightmare to bear with this horrible pain, a pain that would be carved deep in his mind and soul forever!
