Chapter 1695: Chapter 182: Seizing Thirteen Origins
Outside the Time Ancient Land, a desolate place within a vast Star Domain.
Here, it is the starting point of all Rule Energy and the Land of Origin.
Such a place has always been the most dangerous and mysterious.
At this time, in this desolate place, the most ancient rules occasionally fluctuate, and within this ripple of rules, the purest and oldest energies gather together, forming a gigantic Dragon Bone that obscures the sky.
The Dragon Bone, like a giant’s rib, its jade-white bones emitting a ghostly, cold luster.
And on this rib-like massive bone, the Power of Time also occasionally flashes.
Under such power, the rib occasionally emits circles of bizarre power, the power spreading throughout this Heaven and Earth.
The power envelops in all directions, forming the strongest guardian over the entire Time Land.
This is the time axis.
The time axis is formless, yet it also has form.
Because between form and formless, existence is non-existence, existence is also existence, the so-called form is merely named ’form’.
Outside the time axis, extremely powerful beings have already gathered.
This is a man of extremely burly stature.
This man is as large as a mountain, his muscles bulging like knots, extraordinarily robust.
Even these bulging muscles could manifest a terrifying, explosive strength.
Let alone, this man himself possesses an unparalleled, peerless power.
The man appeared, yet his gaze quietly watched the changes of the time axis, within his eyes, manifesting countless cycles of world creation and destruction.
This is Derivation, utilizing the power of the time axis for Derivation.
However, at this moment, although in the man’s eyes there were endless cycles of world creation and destruction, no result manifested.
Because in the face of absolute power, he seemed utterly unable to derive a result.
And in fact, this was not his first time deriving, nor was it his first time not obtaining a result.
"Pan Emperor, still unable to understand the time axis? Then, should we wait for the Soul Emperor’s result? Wouldn’t that make us very passive?"
A seductive woman mused for a moment, then spoke promptly.
"Passive? It isn’t exactly, but indeed... somewhat difficult. However, we can act, to seize the fruits of another’s victory."
The burly man said.
"But what if the other party intends so?"
The seductive woman said.
"Nuwa, you worry too much. Since Lee Ran is intervening, then nothing unexpected will occur. You should know the significance of that treasure in his hands."
The man known as ’Pan Emperor’ smiled faintly and spoke.
His gaze did not show the cycles of world creation and destruction again, yet his gaze was exceedingly confident.
At that moment, the energy he presented was simply astonishing.
At least, once he finished speaking, the seductive woman known as ’Nuwa’ couldn’t help but tremble slightly, clearly revealing an extremely surprised expression.
"This—you wouldn’t think it’s like this, Pan Emperor, then you—"
"Some things, ultimately need to be done by a deity, don’t they? We Immortal Buddha Divine Race, I am ultimately the founder and of the ancestor’s generation, if I do not undertake this, then who can?"
The man smiled calmly, everything seeming as if it was to be expected.
Yet as he said so, it made the woman known as ’Nuwa’ reveal her form immediately.
She was an extremely enchanting and beautiful woman, a purple gauze dress manifesting an exceedingly Noble Energy, that kind of indifferent to all life Origin aura, that kind of will disregarding mortals, merely upon appearing, was fully presented.
Such an existence, even if merely an embodiment of will, could disturb all life, shake Heaven and Earth’s Power of Time.
"But, even so, the price is too great."
Nuwa retracted all her aura, like the most ordinary woman, quietly standing beside the burly man.
"In comparison to the price and outcome, no matter how great, it’s acceptable, if that outcome arises, then the price is irrelevant. The Immortal Buddha Divine Race, must not perish before my eyes."
"The power the time axis can bear has already changed. If it were in the past, I wouldn’t care, but now changes appear, this will inevitably impact the past, present, and future, ultimately affecting destiny."
"The Time Ancient Land already shows signs of instability, if problems occur, all races using the time axis as a Domain will be subjected to Destruction’s disaster."
Pan Emperor paused momentarily, explaining.
These words made Nuwa’s face change suddenly, her whole body feeling somewhat cold.
The aura in Heaven and Earth, also seemed to become much, much colder because of this.
"Who would’ve thought such a problem could arise, but didn’t the Soul Emperor say—"
"Soul Emperor? Without the existence of the time axis, he is in the Evil Venerate Realm, but in fact, even with the time axis’s support, he is merely half in the Evil Venerate Realm. Ultimately, like me, he is still in the utmost King Realm."
"In this world, if there is to be such an opportunity, it’s only the existence derived from the heart of the Evil Venerate that holds the chance for such a breakthrough opportunity. Yet, regardless of success or failure, once the time axis changes, it cannot alter the fate of life’s end in the Time Land."
Pan Emperor smiled bitterly.
Nuwa fell silent for a moment.
This matter, she was powerless to face, although her abilities were indeed similar to Pan Emperor’s, but in the current state, even the slightest gap was a vast chasm like Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, she ultimately was not as capable as Pan Emperor.
And if Pan Emperor cannot solve the issue, then she certainly cannot.
Even though she did not want to believe this matter, it was a fact.
Many facts in this world are so cruel and real.
"Then—Pan Emperor, shall we... act?"
"Act."
Pan Emperor answered casually.
Then, he reached into the Void, and a giant axe suddenly appeared in his hand.
The axe was pitch black, but around the four sides of the black axe emanated a dazzling golden light. The light flickered constantly, like rings of golden arcs bursting forth intermittently.
The golden light rippled ceaselessly, sometimes manifesting an Emperor Pattern structure. When this structure appeared, it would often shatter, repeating endlessly, forming a terrifying scene.
In this scene, the axe was held in the hand of the Pan Emperor.
"Pan Emperor, the heart of the Evil Venerate has transformed into twins--"
Nuwa hesitated for a moment, about to inquire about a secret matter, but was interrupted by the Pan Emperor.
"Forget it," said the Pan Emperor.
Nuwa was startled, and the memory of this matter rapidly faded, disappearing completely.
At this moment, the Pan Emperor, holding the black giant axe, suddenly struck a decisive blow at a certain point on the time axis.
That strike produced no energy fluctuations, nor did it cause any unusual changes.
The Void remained as tranquil and peaceful as ever.
However, after this axe strike, an array of withered bones suddenly appeared at a certain point on the time axis.
The withered bones formed an ancient warship.
On the warship, thirteen imprisoned women were completely freed from their restraints by the axe strike, and they flew out from the withered bone warship.
In this situation, the thirteen women completely lost their own will, as if they had fallen into an Eternal slumber.
However, after the thirteen women successively flew out, the withered bone warship simultaneously fell into utter destruction.
Meanwhile, in the Jiang family.
Within the Void Ancient Land of the Jiang family, Jiang He’s expression suddenly became extremely grave.
He looked up at the Void, where a Tianhe suddenly appeared.
Within the Tianhe, the phantom images of the Emperor and Nuwa were reflected.
Jiang He suddenly condensed a finger, aiming to strike down the Emperor and Nuwa.
Surpassing the Power of Time, a giant finger suddenly condensed, stabbing toward the Tianhe.
The gigantic finger pierced through time, appearing overhead in the Heavenly Vault above the Pan Emperor.
Breaking through the Power of Space, the giant finger, like a Sky Vaulting Giant Finger, pressed directly toward the Pan Emperor.
The Pan Emperor looked up, and without warning swung the giant axe, colliding with the Sky Vaulting Giant Finger.
"Boom!"
The Void trembled, and the time axis suddenly rippled.
A purple energy suddenly burst forth from the time axis, rolling back fiercely toward the Pan Emperor and Jiang He in an instant.
"Puff--"
Jiang He was struck and instantly engulfed by the purple energy.
But a continuous emanation of Life Origin Power from his body, like a spreading tidal wave, quickly drowned out the purple flames.
After a long while, the purple flames extinguished, but Jiang He had already grown much older, no longer possessing his previous spirit and vigor.
Clearly, this attack subjected him to the deadly counterattack from the time axis, causing him great harm.
On the other side, before the Pan Emperor, Nuwa suddenly intervened.
She used her body to shield against the deadly purple flames of the time axis.
"Boom--"
Nuwa’s body ignited, her eyes and arms immediately consumed by the purple flames.
The immense pain made it impossible for Nuwa to resist.
Yet, she instantly severed her own arms and blinded herself.
Even so, the power of the Purple Flame still permeated her body and eyes, causing critical damage to Nuwa.
It seemed the Pan Emperor was aware of this scene, and did not intervene, allowing Nuwa to withstand this endless deadly assault.
"Pan Emperor, with my strength, I can withstand such a backlash only two more times."
Nuwa, after a moment’s hesitation, stabilized her injuries, then spoke somewhat helplessly.
"I understand. Thank you for your efforts."
"It is my duty. Apart from me, no god can withstand such destructive attacks. If the Soul Emperor wants to make a move against you, he must think twice."
Nuwa added.
The Pan Emperor nodded, saying, "The Origin of the Thirteen Extraordinary Women has been obtained. Now, only the forging of the slaughter weapons remains."
Nuwa said, "The Emperor is ready."
"Well. Although the Soul Emperor Jiang He knew that the backlash of the time axis would cause great harm, he still took action. It proves that he did not expect us to suddenly seize the thirteen Origins. In this way, there might be some opportunities."
The Pan Emperor said.
"The Soul Emperor has been laying out his plans for so long, even relying on the time axis to restore the chaos of space-time and reverse fate. Naturally, he will not give up. Forging the Slaughter Evil Venerate Weapon Evil Venerate Sword will likely not proceed smoothly."
Nuwa hesitated before speaking.
"I know. But even if it is not going smoothly, it must still be done."
The Pan Emperor said.
"Well, before that, I will continuously endure the backlash of the time axis, leaving you the strongest power, just in case."
Nuwa said.
The Pan Emperor nodded, agreeing with Nuwa’s statement without dissent.
