Chapter 44 Variables
"These rules, these dates, they're absolutely disgusting!"
Nezha suddenly raised his head, ripped off the Qiankun Ring around his neck, and untied the Hun Tian Ling from his waist.
"Clang—"
These two innate spiritual treasures bestowed by the Chan Sect's Taiyi Zhenren were thrown onto the bluestone bricks by him as if they were pieces of broken copper and scrap iron.
The golden light dimmed, and the red silk fell to the ground.
"You old mudfish, listen to me."
Nezha raised his head and burst into wild laughter. At that moment, his clear, childlike voice overwhelmed the rolling thunder in the heavens, shaking the very foundations of the sky.
"Today, I, Nezha, will take full responsibility for my actions!"
"You want to die? Fine, I'll give you your life!"
Having said that, Nezha suddenly drew the sword from his waist with his right hand.
The sword's edge gleamed coldly, reflecting in his crimson eyes.
"Father, Mother! Today's debt of gratitude is settled today!"
"I will return my bones to my father and my flesh to my mother. From now on, I, Li Nezha, owe the Li family nothing."
"Pfft—"
Without the slightest hesitation, the sword resolutely sliced across the tender neck.
Blood gushed out!
Nezha's innate spiritual body collapsed with a crash.
Flesh and blood separated, immortal bones broken into pieces.
"No--"
Madam Yin let out a heart-wrenching scream and fainted completely.
The torrential rain of blood, mixed with the embers of pure yang fire, fell heavily on the mottled city walls of Chentang Pass.
……
Above the nine heavens, at the summit of the sea of clouds.
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the scene below.
Although I knew this was the predetermined script for the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
Only by enduring the pain of being skinned and having his bones scraped off, and severing ties with mortal karma, could Nezha be reborn as a lotus incarnation.
But seeing the stubborn young man who had followed him around calling "Uncle Yuan" commit suicide on the city wall, Lin Yuan still felt a deep sense of sorrow.
【Ding! 】
[A crucial node in the Investiture of the Gods world has been detected—'Nezha returns his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother'!]
[The event has occurred. The host is in a central witness position and has provided in-depth guidance and causal intervention to the key figure (Nezha)!]
[Judgment: Completion of witness testimonials – Unprecedented!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received your first reward: an ancient artifact, a fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received the second reward for witnessing this achievement: Golden Crow Bloodline Awakening +5% (Current total progress: 75%)!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received the third reward for your witnessing efforts: five hundred years of refined Daoist cultivation!]
"Boom!"
The system's rewards were distributed like a celestial river flowing down from the heavens.
Five hundred years of refined cultivation transformed into a torrent of spiritual energy, washing over Lin Yuan's supreme body of water and fire.
The terrifying magical power of the Dao Integration Realm is rising steadily.
"Snap!"
Early stage of Dao Integration...
Peak of the early stage of Dao Integration!
Lin Yuan's [Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Image] let out a hiss, just one step away from completely breaking through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm.
What made his heart race was the discovery of an ancient bronze bell fragment in his sea of consciousness.
Fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell!
This is the most precious treasure of the ancient demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi, a true innate first-class defensive and suppressive artifact.
Even if it is just a fragment, the ancient laws of time and space flowing on it are enough to make a sage take notice.
However, Lin Yuan had not yet had time to comprehend the profound mystery of this treasure.
A sudden change occurred in the sky above Chentang Pass below!
……
On the city wall.
Although Nezha's physical body collapsed and turned into blood rain, a point of crimson-gold light was floating shakily in mid-air amidst that blood and filth.
That is a wisp of immortal true spirit!
It is the core essence of Nezha's soul as the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl.
As long as this true spirit remains, Taiyi Zhenren can use the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Innate Lotus to reshape its golden body, allowing it to become a truly invincible killing god in the form of a lotus incarnation.
Above the sky.
Looking at that bit of true spirit, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, had a hint of apprehension in his old eyes.
They thought that with Nezha's death, their great revenge would be achieved.
But at this moment, looking at that immortal spirit, Ao Guang suddenly recalled the prophecy left by the mysterious "Yuan Dao Ren" in the Dragon Palace.
"Within a few years, they will surely suffer the calamity of being skinned alive and their entire family wiped out!"
Ao Guang shivered.
Behind Nezha stands the Chan Sect, and the protective Taiyi Zhenren!
If we let this true spirit leave today, it will surely return to the East Sea to fight its way back to its original form in the future. At that time, the Dragon Clan will truly face annihilation.
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."
"My son Ao Bing's true spirit has been shattered, how dare you, you little beast, still retain the chance of reincarnation?!"
"Since we have already offended the Chan Sect, let's go all the way."
The pain of losing his son, coupled with the fear of his clan's extermination, drove Ao Guang to utter madness.
"Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, heed my command!"
Ao Guang roared to the sky, "Summon the divine thunder from the nine heavens and shatter this little beast's true spirit for me, so that he may never be reincarnated."
"Boom!"
Four thousand-foot-long true dragons simultaneously spewed out their primordial energy.
The dark clouds in the sky instantly turned blood red, and a crimson divine lightning bolt, as thick as a water vat and containing an aura of destruction, locked onto Nezha's remaining true spirit and struck down with a deafening roar.
……
The expression on the face of the Taiyi Zhenren, who was hidden deep in the void, changed drastically at this moment.
According to his calculations, Nezha abandoned his physical body to repay his parents' kindness in giving him life and severed his ties with the mortal world.
Once the Dragon King has retreated, he can calmly collect the true spirit and bring it back to the Golden Light Cave to reshape its indestructible golden body with lotus flowers.
But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that this old mudfish Ao Guang would go to such a crazy state!
"How dare you!"
Taiyi Zhenren's eyes widened in anger, and his beard and hair stood on end.
He instinctively wanted to unleash the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to forcefully break through the void and save his disciple.
However, just as he was about to take one half a step out of the void, he abruptly stopped.
Cold sweat instantly soaked through the back of this Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect.
He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the chaotic and murderous Heavenly Secrets of the Investiture of the Gods above him.
"The secrets of heaven... are completely in chaos."
At this very moment, a million mortals are kneeling below Chentang Pass!
The waters of the four seas hung in mid-air, and Ao Guang had already gone mad.
If he were to forcefully intervene at this moment as a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, Ao Guang would surely overturn the sea without regard for the consequences.
The immense karmic force of causing the deaths of millions of people will instantly crash down on the head of Master Taiyi!
During the Investiture of the Gods, those who are tainted by the karma of millions of mortals, even if they are Golden Immortals, will not escape being listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and may even die and disappear.
Save the disciple?
Or should I protect myself?
Taiyi Zhenren's hand trembled. Finally, he gritted his teeth and withdrew half of his foot.
"My disciple... it's not that I'm heartless. It's just that the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and the karmic consequences are too heavy."
Taiyi Zhenren closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
Heaven is ruthless, sages are ruthless, and even golden immortals are ruthless!
……
Lin Yuan, atop the sea of clouds, also had his pupils suddenly shrink.
"wrong!"
"In the original script, after the old Dragon King forced Nezha to his death, he withdrew his troops and returned to the East Sea."
"How could I possibly risk offending the immortal Taiyi Zhenren by shattering a true spirit?!"
"Could it be...?"
