Killing God - Chapter 429

Chapter 429 Enlightenment True Rock
The stone steps were flat and upright. The first step was surrounded by green trees on both sides of the mountain path. It submerged itself into the mist and clouds in front of its line of sight. It seemed to be somewhat mysterious. Unlike the winding mountain path he took when he arrived, the stone steps leading to the peak of the Enlightenment Stone were always straight.

Around the mountain path near the stone steps, Shen Shi did not see any restriction signs or wooden tablets. It seemed that Yuanshi Sect had no intention of locking down this important place on the Star Seizing Peak. This also made Shen Shi feel somewhat fortunate. There was no one left or right, and the mountain was completely silent. Moreover, as he walked up the stone steps, even the sound of wind from the Wind Hall behind him gradually faded away.

Clouds and mist floated gently like the Immortal Realm.

Shen Shi slowly walked up and stepped into the clouds.

Cloud Qi gently flowed past his body. His line of sight was obscured by the clouds. Suddenly, the range of sight was much smaller. Shen Shi found that he could only see around him for the time being, about six or seven steps away. He frowned slightly, thinking that the clouds here seemed to be much denser than the rest of the Star Harvesting Peak.

However, other than that, there was nothing unusual about this stone path leading to the Enlightenment Stone, so Shen Shi continued to walk upwards. When he looked up from the mountain path of the Hearing Wind Hall, he only felt that this stone stairway was about thirty to forty feet tall, and then his line of sight was obscured by the mist of clouds. However, when Shen Shi walked up alone, he discovered that this stone stairway was much taller than he had imagined.

He had been walking upwards, and the surrounding clouds had always been as ethereal as before. However, after Shen Shi estimated that he had already walked up a hundred feet in his heart, he discovered that the surroundings around him still seemed to be almost the same as when he stepped into the clouds just now.

Still, he could only see a distance of six or seven steps away, Cloud Qi was still floating around him like a veil. After walking in the clouds for a long time, one would gradually feel somewhat guilty. He didn’t know what was ahead, and he might even be worried that if he stepped out of the 10,000 meter high mountain, he would see a sudden appearance of a 10,000 meter high cliff.

Fortunately, this stone staircase was not very wide. Shen Shi could still see the old trees and trees on both sides of the stone staircase mountain path where he could see them. Those tree shadows made him feel a little more at ease in this hazy clouds, so in the end, he insisted on walking on.

After walking like this for a while, Shen Shi estimated that he was probably about two hundred feet tall. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes. The sky was bright, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The clouds in front of him suddenly dissipated. Without any warning, he suddenly walked out of the clouds that surrounded the mountain. Suddenly, his eyes brightened. The azure sky once again appeared in front of him. The mountain was majestic and erect, and strange rocks abruptly appeared. The sea of clouds in the distance seemed to stretch out to the boundless horizon. At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to have a panoramic view. A strong wind blew past, and the sea of clouds surged. There were also rainbows hanging on the horizon, dazzling and brilliant. It was the magnificent scenery between heaven and earth.

When they reached the end of the stone steps, they saw a cliff protruding from the mountain. It was like a sharp sword piercing into the void. A few short green old pines stubbornly extended out from the cracks in the rock. The hard stone floor was as dark as iron, giving off an icy cold and tenacious luster.

Finally, at the forefront of this protruding cliff, above the sea of clouds, it was as if there was a stone next to the cliff of the bottomless abyss.

Around two people tall, the surface of the boulder was rugged. Apart from looking slightly smoother at the top, cracks could be seen everywhere else. From afar, this stone looked like an old soldier covered in wounds. However, it was still standing on the edge of the cliff alone. It silently looked at the heavens and earth. No matter the wind, rain or rain, no matter the wind and rain eroded it, it would never waver for tens of millions of years.

Without any hints, Shen Shi only looked at the large rock on the cliff. Suddenly, he felt that the rock that stood silently by the side of the cliff and looked down on the world must be the Enlightenment True Rock.

The reason for that was because even though the previous Sage had passed away and time had flowed, the momentum that looked down on the world seemed to remain here. Even the stone seemed to have some pride, as if it was standing beside a dangerous cliff of a majestic peak, and even the heavens and earth didn’t pay attention to it.

Shen Shi’s breathing suddenly became somewhat anxious. Even his heart was beating faster. Almost every human had admired the prestige of the Six Saints in the past ten thousand years, let alone witnessing this place that was of decisive importance to the history of the human race.

He slowly walked over, and the rock grew larger before his eyes, and the surroundings were quiet, and only the mountain wind blew past the dangerous cliff, making a frightening scream.

Finally, he walked to the side of the Enlightenment Stone and stretched out his hand. Shen Shi gently touched the rock. The tentacles were cold and hard, with a bit of roughness. It must have been because they had experienced the wind and rain on this dangerous cliff. Shen Shi let out a light breath. He slowly imagined that ten thousand years ago, there was a man sitting upright on this boulder. He looked at the clouds and seas of heaven and earth, the sun blowing, the wind blowing, the wind eroding, and the rain eroding. Perhaps, there was also lightning flashing and thunder roaring in the sky. Then one day, he suddenly comprehended the Grand Dao. Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled. The sun and moon rotated, and lightning ripped through the sky. The sea of clouds set off huge waves, causing mountains to fall and seas to rumble towards him …

In the next moment, Shen Shi suddenly felt horrified and shocked. His body trembled and he took a step back. A moment later, cold sweat dripped down his face.

For some reason, he suddenly fell into a strange contemplation. It was as if he had seen some strange yet magnificent scenes. However, the moment his palm left the Enlightenment Stone, the scenes suddenly disappeared. Only the palpitating sensation still made him shiver.

In that sudden hallucination just now, it was as if a power that made the heavens and the earth furious and abhorrent was emitted from that man. It was incomparably powerful, yet it angered the gods. As a result, the heavens and earth were enraged by the storm, and the thunder and lightning went mad, wanting to completely wipe out that person.

Within the storm, thunder, and lightning, the heavens and the earth were filled with killing intent. Only the man with his back facing him stood on the Enlightenment Stone, facing the wind and rain that filled the sky, facing the heavens and the earth. He was unruly and unyielding towards the heavens and the earth.

Shen Shi’s face was somewhat pale and he didn’t stop panting. After a long while, he slowly calmed down. However, his ears still seemed to ring. That illusion was so real that it seemed to be real. It almost made people think that under the terrifying lightning that filled the sky, he was about to be crushed to pieces.

He gasped for breath and looked at the Enlightenment Stone. The feeling in his eyes was different from before and carried a hint of reverence. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed again.

As if he had sensed something, he slowly lowered his head and looked at his waist.

The Ruyi bag hanging at his waist suddenly lit up.

④

The Ruyi Bag was only a storage magic tool, not a magic treasure with other powerful methods. Therefore, this item itself would never shine brightly. At most, after cultivators poured their spiritual energy into it, there would only be a slight flash of precious light and spiritual energy.

However, at this moment, Shen Shi could clearly see that his Ruyi Bag was so bright. A pure white but gentle light slowly rose from the Ruyi Bag. Upon closer inspection, he soon discovered that the Ruyi Bag itself did not emit any light. The real light source was in the Ruyi Bag.

However, such a storage magical artifact could isolate space, so it was impossible for anything to be revealed from it. At least until today, what Shen Shi knew was precisely this. However, at this moment, it was clear that an exception had occurred. Something in the Ruyi Bag had shockingly broken through this seemingly unbreakable rule, breaking through the restriction of the Ruyi Bag, and directly spreading the power of light to the outside world.

Shen Shi’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little. He stared blankly at the sparkling Ruyi Bag. At the same time, he quickly felt waves of heat coming from the Ruyi Bag that was close to his body like waves and tides that began to surge.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the Ruyi Bag. His face instantly turned pale. A moment later, he already knew the reason.

The present Ruyi bag was filled with Lin Lin’s various spirit materials and talismans that he had prepared for the Four Main Conferences and his trip to Wentian Secret Realm, including some high-grade spirit pills and other items that Zhong Qinglu had given him before coming. However, none of these things moved at this moment. It was as quiet in the Ruyi Bag as before. What had changed was the thing that had been hidden in the deepest corner of the Ruyi Bag. It had been as if he had fallen asleep for a long time. Even he himself had forgotten something.

Fragments of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword.

As if waking up from a deep sleep, The broken sword slowly trembled in the depths of the Ruyi Sack and began to emit a strange light. This light seemed ordinary and gentle, but even a spatial magical artifact like the Ruyi Sack was unable to stop it from spreading. At the same time, a surging force seemed to be forming within the broken sword. It was as if its heart was beating slowly, wave after wave, trembling.

In a trance, Shen Shi even had the illusion of returning to the Soul Suppressing Abyss in the mountain. It was as if he had seen the scene of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword stabbing the ancient voodoo ghost once again. His expression changed repeatedly. Just as he was shocked, he suddenly heard a few ear-piercing noises. He looked up and saw that the Enlightenment Stone had actually started to tremble slightly. A few small stones fell from the rock.

Shen Shi was shocked. This scare was truly extraordinary. Wu Zhen Yan was a human sacred land. Although he didn’t know why Yuanshi Sect didn’t send people to guard it, it was clear that such a sacred object couldn’t be allowed to be destroyed by outsiders. Shen Shi didn’t even dare to imagine how serious the consequences would be if he really damaged the Enlightenment True Rock.

Almost subconsciously, Shen Shi immediately flipped backwards and flew away from the Enlightenment Stone. As the distance between him and the big stone widened, the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword fragment in the Ruyi bag seemed to quickly become much quieter, and even the light dimmed a little.

When Shen Shi saw that it was effective, he didn’t dare to stay for too long. He immediately rushed down the stone steps. As he left, the original phenomenon quickly calmed down. The Ruyi Sack on his waist quickly returned to its original state. Including the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword Fragment, the strange power seemed to tremble for a few times before it finally fell into silence and fell into sleep again.

On the cliff that the clouds once again blocked, Wu Zhen Yan also returned to his original appearance. He stood quietly at the side of the dangerous cliff, silently looking at the heavens and earth. Skylight landed on its scarred body, reflecting a few dazzling lights. It was like an old warrior, but it still stood there with incomparable patience, coldly staring at this world.
