Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 199: Twelve Palaces, the Fall of the Supreme

"Ah, it hurts!"

Even though he was prepared, Xia Sheng couldn't help but let out a low growl as soon as he jumped into the Yin-Yang Pool.

In an instant, piercing pain swept through my body, like being pricked by needles, or like millions of ants drilling into my blood vessels, heart, and every inch of my skin.

Even his soul was suffering from unspeakable pain, as if there was an immortal millstone, crushing his soul inch by inch.

“Is this the pain that the Immortal Monk King endured back then?”

Xia Sheng's hair was disheveled, his cheeks were distorted, and a large amount of blood mist was floating around. He felt as if his whole body was about to be torn into pieces, and both his body and soul were about to disintegrate.

Get through it.

He gritted his teeth, and sat cross-legged in the center of the Yin-Yang Pool with a solemn appearance. The Immortal Sutra and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art were activated at the same time. Brilliant light burst out, illuminating the past and present.

Immediately, divine liquids from all directions surged together, and violent golden Buddha light continued to pour in, like huge bells, constantly bombarding Xia Sheng's body and soul.

puff!
The blood mist and broken bones scattered everywhere, causing Xia Sheng to groan involuntarily. However, he still gritted his teeth and activated two supreme secret techniques to undergo a terrifying transformation.

Half an hour later, his expression calmed down.

The treasure body is flawless and crystal clear like jade, and every inch of it seems to be made of fairy gold. The golden Buddha's will in the lake no longer invades his Taoist body.

At this moment, every part of his limbs was glowing, and endless divine power burst out with every move he made, breaking the limit of his strength.

Even his internal organs were bursting with immortal light, and battle gates were opening in his organs, like eleven divine generals guarding before the Yuanshen Palace.

"It has grown a lot, and the precious body is even more flawless."

Xia Sheng muttered to himself, looking at his newly condensed body, with an undying brilliance flashing in his eyes.

In just half an hour, his physical body became even stronger, and even his soul became more powerful, containing infinite divine light.

More importantly, under the stimulation of the divine liquid, many war gates were opened in his limbs, bones, and internal organs. At this moment, he felt that the whole world was different, and he possessed infinite divine power with every move he made.

At this moment, facing a master in the early stage of the first realm of escape, he can present a crushing momentum.

After adapting to the power in the Yin-Yang Pool, Xia Sheng looked down, thought for a moment, and decided to dive.

He felt that his transformation should not stop here. There should be a richer precious liquid below that can stimulate the transformation of his body and soul.

Xia Sheng hadn't had this feeling for a long time since the opening of the Source Sea. Under the flushing of this Yin-Yang Pool, he seemed to have touched the threshold of the second secret realm.

"If the Yin-Yang Pond is really the ultimate place where the ancient monks created the six paths of reincarnation, then the good fortune here should be more than this."

Xia Sheng muttered to himself, his eyes shining like knives, two dragons flashing in them, as if they were about to come alive.

This baptism, not only his internal organs, limbs and bones, but even his eyes, are undergoing amazing transformation.

Just like the Immortal Monk King when he was young, Xia Sheng continued to dive. As he got closer to the bottom of the lake, Buddha's light burst out from his body again. Every inch of his skin and soul was invaded by the golden divine light.

"The more intense the better."

He roared, his whole body glowing, and countless runes were interweaving and flashing on every inch of his skin, moving towards a flawless state.

The deeper he sank, the more terrifying the impact on his body became. However, Xia Sheng was not afraid. His body was flawless, and his spirit had transformed into a weapon, undergoing an immortal transformation.

At this moment, as his internal organs glowed and immortal battle gates opened, he finally touched the second secret realm. Pieces of divine light burst out, like eleven immortal gods, connected to his soul.

This surprised Xia Sheng. His internal organs were like eleven mysterious palaces that served as a sacrifice to the gods, guarding his soul.

This is somewhat similar to the ten great caves in the world, but not exactly the same.

However, he still felt that something was missing and it had not yet reached perfection.

boom!
At this moment, a huge golden hand suddenly shot out from the bottom of the lake, accompanied by patches of clear light, and fell on Xia Sheng's body, making him unable to stop coughing up blood. His flesh and blood were blurred, and his soul was dim, and he was about to die.

"what?"

Xia Sheng was shocked and immediately used the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique to protect his soul.

A huge hand at the bottom of the lake almost crushed his soul. What on earth was that? Could it be that there was a living ancient Buddha in the Yin-Yang Pool?
Amidst his confused thoughts, the second golden hand slapped out, and pieces of clear light turned into countless weapons, which came towards Xia Sheng's soul.

puff!
This time, Xia Sheng was injured more seriously. His soul was collapsing and large amounts of divine light were falling. It was extremely miserable.

"This is the Eighteen Beats of the Ancient Buddha!"

He roared, his eyes flashing as he recognized the secret technique.

The Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha is a Buddhist method used by immortal monks to build golden bodies, which can refine the body and soul to a perfect state.

Back then, the reason why the Immortal Monk King was able to remain undefeated in the face of several Immortal Kings was because of his powerful body and spirit.

Keng!
Immediately, Xia Sheng's spirit transformed into a weapon and collided with countless weapons.

However, before one wave of troubles came, another wave of troubles arose. At this moment, a third golden hand came flying quickly, with thousands of Buddha lights reflecting a huge golden bell.

Xia Sheng's gaze remained unchanged as he urged the Yuanshen Sword to chop forward. There was a sharp collision sound, and he chopped forward forty-nine times before he finally shattered the Buddha bell.

If a Buddhist master saw this, he would definitely look as if he had seen a ghost.

The Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha means that if you can endure it, you will be considered a success. How could someone be like Xia Sheng, who took on every beat and fought against the Buddha's hand.

The fourth and fifth beats passed quickly. As time passed, Xia Sheng didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his eyes were shining with light and the whole world became different.

This made him wonder in his heart, could it be that the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye and the space for transformation are different?

"what!"

On the sixth beat, he suddenly roared.

I saw his eyes were burning, and he opened a primitive battle gate respectively. Dazzling white light spurted out, and the attacking golden Buddha's hand exploded directly.

boom!
He only heard a crisp sound inside his body, and the light of his soul surged, following Xia Sheng's third eye and quickly entering his internal organs. The sound of chanting scriptures continued, and his soul was actually divided into twelve parts. It was a strange feeling.

At the same time, after just one cycle, with the return of the light of his soul, his soul sword became even sharper.

"Twelve God Palaces, offering sacrifices to the primordial spirit, is this considered the second secret realm?"

Xia Sheng muttered to himself, huge ripples rising in his heart.

Using oneself as a seed is truly miraculous. The emergence of the Twelve Temples allowed the soul and the body to be connected for the first time. This was a huge transformation.

"So that's how it is. The eyes are the gateway to the soul. Enter through them, connect to the internal organs, and open up the twelve divine palaces."

At this moment, Xia Sheng realized the truth.

His whole body was brilliant, with twelve divine palaces surrounding his soul. Countless battle gates opened one after another, emitting sacred light that swirled around his body.

Clang clang clang!
One after another golden hands were slapped out, but all were shattered by Xia Sheng. His eyes were burning as he looked down at his feet. The originally turbid lake water could no longer cover his eyes.

At the bottom of the lake, the one who made the move was a golden skeleton, surrounded by Buddha's light, as if it had come alive.

"Is that right?"

Xia Sheng opened his mouth and walked downwards step by step. The golden Buddha's hands slapping his body could not stop him. His body was flawless and there was no place worth sharpening.

boom!
After the eighteenth slap, a terrifying wave burst out from Xia Sheng's body. The entire lake became violent in an instant. Streams of life essence swept in and continuously sank into the opened pores.

Kill me at the peak of my realm!
Faced with the threat from the supreme being from a foreign land, Xia Sheng no longer suppressed himself. With the help of this Yin-Yang Pool, he broke through the last barrier of the Killing Me Realm and entered the peak state of this realm.

It took Xia Sheng half a day to stabilize his state of mind. His eyes were bright like the sun, illuminating the entire dark lake bottom as if it were daytime.

Although the second secret realm has never been opened and he has never experienced the test of heavenly tribulation, his eyes have still undergone tremendous transformation. Compared with the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, they possess more powerful supernatural powers.

"Hmm? What is that?" Suddenly, Xia Sheng's expression paused. Among the piles of dry bones, he found a void gap. Six inscriptions stood on the side, exuding an ancient breath.

Immediately, he swam towards the gap in the void without hesitation.

"Oh my God, what is this?"

In the outside world, the supreme being from a foreign land staggered out of the void passage. He paid a huge price to break out of the siege of the immortal-eating insects. However, before he could be happy, he was shocked by the scene before him.

A prehistoric giant beast was suspended in the void, seemingly sleeping. However, despite this, the powerful aura it exuded still made the foreign supreme's eyelids twitch.

He was very familiar with the immortal weapon that pierced his head. It belonged to an immortal king from a foreign land.

"Definitely the Immortal King!"

The Foreign Supreme murmured to himself, not daring to look directly at the giant beast for fear of backlash.

Like Xia Sheng, he carefully examined this piece of land of good fortune, and finally stopped in front of an inscription with a solemn expression.

"Yin Yang Pond."

Because of the rebellion of the Fearless Lion, he still knew something about the Yin-Yang Pond of the ancient monk lineage.

"Could he have escaped in here?"

After a quick look around, he couldn't find anything else except this pool. The Foreign Supreme felt that the Emperor was most likely to have jumped into this pool.

Immediately, he used an incarnation to enter the Yin-Yang Pool.

After going through an era of trials and tribulations, he was skeptical whether this pool was as terrifying as the legend said.

puff!
However, as soon as the incarnation came into contact with the precious liquid, it turned into a bloody mist, and its weapons were untied, and all its supreme bones were melted.

Seeing this scene, the foreign supreme being couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill reaching his crown.

Just like the legend, this Yin-Yang Pool is still terrifying.

"The Emperor jumped in. Is he still alive?"

The Supreme Being from a Foreign Land talked to himself, first looked at the ancient beast of the Immortal King in the distance, then looked at the Yin-Yang Pool under his feet, his heart filled with hesitation.

Reason told him that he should leave here quickly, as the emperor had most likely already turned into bloody mud and been buried in this Yin-Yang Pool.

After all, throughout history, only the Immortal Monk King could do it without the help of any Buddhist teachings.

However, he had another idea in his mind.

If the emperor manages to survive, his threat will increase again. This time we have finally blocked him here. If we let him go, we don't know when the next time will be.

"Just wait three days, and then leave."

The supreme being from a foreign land gritted his teeth, immediately sat down cross-legged, and silently cultivated his injured body.

That Immortal-Eating Insect King, together with a group of insects, really made him pay a heavy price. The emperor really deserved to be killed for luring him to that place. Once he was caught, he would be cut into pieces.

Only two and a half days later, a familiar figure emerged from the bottom of the lake. It was Xia Sheng, who had not been seen for a long time.

"So that's how it is. Is this the secret of the Sky Beast Forest?"

His face was dazed, and he recalled his experiences of the past two days with some fear.

After entering the crack in the void, he saw the mysterious underworld, ghost soldiers passing by, and many dead creatures in the long river of time.

Xia Sheng guessed that this should be the source of the weirdness of the Heavenly Beast Forest. The immortal monks wanted to recreate reincarnation and create an underworld that could accommodate evil spirits.

Great horror!
When he figured everything out, he retreated quickly. Otherwise, if he was discovered by the ghost soldiers, he might stay here forever, in a daze, and he didn't know how many epochs he would have to wait before he could reappear.

However, this also gave Xia Sheng some ideas. If he were to reign over the nine heavens one day, he could carefully study the way of reincarnation and create something identical to the underworld. Perhaps he could bring back all the dead souls.

"Hmm? Hunting me?"

Finally, when he was about to surface, Xia Sheng suddenly stopped. With cold eyes, he saw the dark figure sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tablet.

Seeing this, his eyes turned cold.

Zu Huanglu once told him that this Yin Yang Pool was sealed with the supreme imprint of the immortal monk lineage, and even if the second best person in the world was revived, it would be able to withstand the impact.

Since the supreme being from another world has chased you here, don’t blame him for being ruthless.

"what are you looking for?"

A light shout came from the Yin-Yang Pond, which suddenly alerted the Foreign Supreme. He looked at the figure in the water of the Yin-Yang Pond with deep eyes, and his expression changed drastically.

"you are still alive!"

The Son of Heaven actually survived, just like the Immortal Monk King when he was young. Doesn't this mean that he really has the qualifications to advance to the Immortal King?

However, Xia Sheng didn't say much. After looking at him, he directly fired a killing blast:
"Exotic old dog, go to hell."

With a loud shout, a ray of divine light rushed out like a sharp sword and slammed into the distant mountain. The dazzling divine light burst out, shaking the mountain.

"not good!"

In an instant, the Foreign Supreme realized something was wrong, and he turned around and fled towards the passage behind him.

The world turned upside down, the ground shrunk to an inch, and in an instant he rushed out of the void passage, and then rushed out of the Heavenly Beast Forest with all his might.

"run!"

At this moment, he had only this thought in his mind: an Immortal King who had been sleeping for endless years could easily crush him with just a glance.

Roar!
However, in the next moment, accompanied by a loud roar, everything was gone.

Boom!

Ten thousand paths collapsed, and the sleeping ancient beast awoke. With its eyelids twitching, billions of densely packed cracks in the void opened up one after another, like black heavenly swords, destroying all living creatures in the world.

In an instant, the aura of destruction swept across the entire Sky Beast Forest. The mountains and rivers were shattered, the sun and the moon lost their light, the stars in the sky fell one after another, and billions of territories turned into disaster land.

"no, do not want!"

The supreme being from the foreign land roared. At this moment, he had already come to the edge of the Heavenly Beast Forest. However, he was still unable to escape the killing attack. His body was disintegrated, his forehead bone exploded, and his soul was shattered by an invisible force. He completely fell from the world.

The death of the supreme!
"what happened?"

In the distance, the people in the foreign land were shocked. Looking at the huge monster emerging in the starry sky, they all felt a chill in their hearts and were frightened to the extreme.

"Supreme Lord Long Yun is dead."

When a commander-in-chief spoke, his face turned ashen and he looked extremely ugly.

No one expected that a peerless supreme being would actually trigger some kind of taboo and die there.

"Is the emperor dead?"

Someone asked, but no one answered.

The fall of a peerless supreme being caused too much of a shock, especially since he died while hunting down the emperor.

From today onwards, the emperor has the life of another supreme being from a foreign land in his hands.

In another part of the sky, Yun Jing also looked horrified. He took out a soul lamp. When he learned that Xia Sheng was fine, he said to the Sky-Swallowing King Beast with a serious face:

"I'm afraid it's going to break the sky."
