Chapter 717 - 458: Patch the Heavens with My Own Body! The End (Part 2)
Yet he no longer harbored any thoughts of contending with the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
He activated his technique, intending to step into the void and rush toward the Apocalypse Rift.
The Immortal level meant one could leave their own world to traverse the void.
For a Golden Immortal, traveling to another Great Thousand Worlds was quite simple, even though Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven had long used the All Heavens Treasure Mirror to conquer worlds, rarely surpassing a World’s Crystal Wall.
But Star Universe Celestial Venerable could still attempt to depart.
He was unaware that he was already being targeted.
Nevertheless, Star Universe Celestial Venerable resolutely charged toward the Apocalypse Rift.
"The beings of this world honor me as the Celestial Venerable, so how could I abandon them without care?"
Star Universe Celestial Venerable burned his Essence Blood, a radiant light seemingly dispelling endless darkness.
Immortal Venerable Huihuang’s expression was somewhat complicated.
In a flash, another two Golden Immortals from Jiuzhou appeared beside him.
"The Apocalypse Rift has completely erupted."
"What’s next is endless expansion."
"We must do something."
Dark Heaven Immortal Venerable’s eyes gleamed slightly.
Then he said, "Find a chance to leave."
"This is not Jiuzhou."
"Golden Immortals possess a trace of Immortal Golden Nature; if Star Universe Celestial Venerable intends to suppress the Apocalypse Rift, we have a chance to leave."
Immortal Venerable Huihuang hesitated slightly.
He was, after all, the Good Corpse he had severed.
"But the beings of this world..."
"And the surrounding worlds, they will all be completely annihilated as a result."
Immortal Venerable Huihuang sighed softly and took a step forward.
He saw that somewhat lonely figure standing before the Apocalypse Rift.
"Enough, two fellow Daoists, find a chance to leave."
"Zhong Heng is here, numerous Jiuzhou Cultivators are here, and there are so many innocent lives."
"Moreover, if I join forces with Star Universe Celestial Venerable, the two fellow Daoists will have more opportunities to leave."
"You!" Dark Heaven Immortal Venerable was almost about to reprimand.
Immortals are typically rational.
Currently, the best course of action for the three Golden Immortals is to leave; with Golden Immortals as the pillars, Jiuzhou’s loss of Immortals can still be replenished without needing to awaken the Ancient Immortals slumbering in Jiuzhou, allowing Jiuzhou to continue its slow growth in this Endless Void as originally planned.
Without the Apocalypse Rift, Jiuzhou will only develop faster.
Might even see a Daluo appear, transforming Jiuzhou into Daluo Heaven.
However, Microdust Immortal Venerable stopped Dark Heaven Immortal Venerable, shaking his head slightly.
If it were the true body of Immortal Venerable Huihuang, the decision made would surely not be this.
But now, Huihuang is merely a Good Corpse.
The two Immortal Venerables stood at the edge of the starry sky, ready to find an opportunity to leave.
The All Heavens Treasure Mirror was no longer reliable at this moment; they could only use their own strength to leave and then navigate the void back to Jiuzhou using their own karma.
There wasn’t any other better method.
As for Zhong Heng, the two did not believe Zhong Heng had the capability to resolve this matter.
The scent of despair permeated throughout the entire starry sky of Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Two radiant lights flickered.
Then came the third.
It was Kong Xuan burning the last of his Essence Blood, unleashing Golden Immortal power.
Three blazing suns approached the Apocalypse Rift together, yet the effect was minimal.
If the three Golden Immortals could resolve the Apocalypse Rift, there wouldn’t be the need for Jiuzhou to expend so much effort sending the Apocalypse Rift to Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
The three Golden Immortals covered most of the radiation coming from the Apocalypse Rift.
Apart from Immortals, no beings can bear direct sight of the Rift.
Thus, no one knows what has happened.
"A great terror descends upon the starry sky."
"It’s a terror that even Immortals cannot withstand."
On a certain planet.
An elderly man, blind, foretold, then vomited blood and died.
There were fleets spreading havoc everywhere, releasing humanity’s final evil.
The essence of despair was diffused throughout the entire starry sky.
Yet, a hint of dazzling seven-colored light suddenly shimmered deep in the starry sky.
Warm, full of vitality.
In everyone’s vision, it seemed like an image appeared.
A somewhat hazy silhouette, radiating brilliant light, then stepping forward.
"Zhong Heng, you!"
Both Immortal Venerable Huihuang and Kong Xuan looked towards Kong Xuan standing before the Apocalypse Rift, their expressions mixed with suspicion.
"Now, if I do not enter hell, who will enter hell."
Zhong Heng’s tone was calm.
Yet his body gradually turned to stone.
Transforming into a seven-colored crystal.
The Immortal Artifact Storage Bag fell outside.
Zhong Heng proceeded alone into the Apocalypse Rift.
"Heaven Mending Skill"
"Use my body to mend the heavens!!"
Brilliant light shone.
The Qi fortune within the River Map dwindled rapidly and instantly became dim.
If any ancients were present, they could surely see the Divine Turtle sleeping within the River Map.
Even if the River Map returns to the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, it won’t channel a shred of power to Jiuzhou for at least a hundred thousand years in the future.
The half body probe from the rift still wanted to struggle.
But it was kicked in by Zhong Heng.
Like venting the frustration of his path ending here.
"Chaos descends, disasters fall, the sky shatters, sun and moon lose brightness."
Zhong Heng’s hand formed a seal, but his figure gradually blurred.
"Now, I shall perform the Heaven Mending Skill, draw upon Star Power, gather the Qi of mountains and rivers, and converge the spirit of the four seas. Focus my heart on one thought, condense my intent to one place, transform my body into rainbow light, and merge into the heavens."
The River Map began to evolve into countless sceneries of Jiuzhou.
Zhong Heng’s figure became increasingly blurred.
"With my blood, nourish the sky; with my bones, support the heavens; use my body to mend the heavens, and reverse the universe!!"
Finally, Zhong Heng’s figure disappeared, but his steadfast gaze seemed to remain.
The Five Elements Laws and five Five Elements Techniques transformed into the skeleton of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
Human Dao fortune became the main body of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
Finally, Zhong Heng’s lifeforce ignited the stone.
Human Dao fortune, Five Elements Laws, Heaven Mending Skill
All three are indispensable.
The convergence of all three allows one to transform into a Heaven-Mending Stone.
The seven-colored divine light vanished.
Inside the Apocalypse Rift, there seemed to be an extremely angry roar.
Yet it dissipated as the Apocalypse Rift gradually closed.
Ultimately, the Apocalypse Rift transformed into a completely closed state.
Even though Zhong Heng sacrificed himself, he still couldn’t completely erase the Apocalypse Rift.
[In the year 24,938 of the New Source Era, you performed the Heaven-Mending Secret Technique, using your body as a Heaven-Mending Stone to mend the heavens.]
[You sacrificed yourself.]
[You died.]
The subtitles before Jiang Ming’s eyes continued to appear.
The scene before Jiang Ming’s eyes also continued to unfold.
..............
Zhong Heng died.
But he didn’t truly die.
On a certain planet.
The incarnation Zhong Heng suddenly opened his eyes.
He could clearly sense the complete severance of the link between himself and his original self.
As if the original self never existed.
The memories before the original self’s death flooded into his mind.
"Using one’s body to mend the Heavenly Dao..."
The incarnation was somewhat silent.
Yet in an instant, the Misty Bell, initially resisting under incarnation Zhong Heng’s control, was instantly refined by him.
Heavenly Dao Blessing descended upon him.
The Apocalypse Rift was sealed.
The restraints dissolved.
The formerly rigid Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao and Ten Thousand Yuan Heavenly Dao simultaneously became active.
Even though Zhong Heng himself was a Jiuzhou Cultivator, the original self sealed the Apocalypse Rift, akin to salvation.
Therefore, vast Celestial Dao Merits and Heavenly Dao Blessings from Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven descended.
The incarnation Zhong Heng stepped skyward.
Almost instantly, he arrived at the place where his original self fell.
The three Golden Immortals present looked with some complexity at the scattered equipment left by Zhong Heng.
Star Universe Celestial Venerable was taken aback, discovering the Jiuzhou Immortal who had just saved Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven was alive again.
"External Incarnation... and this aura..."
"Misty Bell?"
With a wave of incarnation Zhong Heng’s hand, the original self’s Storage Immortal Ring and a slew of Artifacts were instantly refined by him.
His hand formed another seal.
The Misty Bell appeared beside him.
"In my name, Zhong Heng, Celestial Derivation Immortal Venerable."
"With the power of Misty Bell"
"Establish the supreme forbidden land here, gather the endless power of Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven."
"Eternally suppress this object!"
The aura on incarnation Zhong Heng surged.
In an instant, it rose to Profound Immortal.
This was a grand vow.
Heavenly Dao was willing to grant power.
From now on, he was Zhong Heng, continuing to suppress the Apocalypse Rift.
