64: Chapter 64 Little Stone: I saw my sister beating up the teacher!

He pointed his hand toward the stable barrier of Undying Mountain below, his tone even more smug:

"I still have to thank you for breaking into my Undying Mountain last time and slaying that good-for-nothing colleague of mine! It was precisely by devouring his Origin that I was able to live out this second life! The me of today is even stronger and even wilder than at the Peak of my first life!"

"Let's settle the old scores today! Empress Ruthless, if you have the guts, follow me to the Cosmic Borderlands for a battle to the death! Let's see if I don't beat you until your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and send you to reunite with your short-lived husband!!!"

This extremely arrogant declaration, transmitted through Divine Thought fluctuations at the Supreme level, instantly spread throughout Beidou, spread throughout the Cosmic Borderlands, and reached the ears of every Supreme watching from the shadows.

"Stone Emperor?! It really is him!"

"He actually relied on devouring his own kind to live out a second life?!"

"No wonder he has the confidence to provoke Empress Ruthless..."

"The Dao of devouring... Hmph, certainly ruthless enough."

The Forbidden Zone Supremes reacted differently; some were shocked, some were wary, and some had strange lights flashing in their eyes — devouring the Origin of their own kind to prolong their lives or even live out the next life undoubtedly opened a "new door" full of temptation and sin for certain desperate Supremes.

But more Supremes focused their attention on the upcoming imperial battle. Stone Emperor, who had lived out a second life, versus Empress Ruthless, who had lived out a third life and possessed unfathomable combat power — who was stronger and who was weaker?

Xiao Nannan heard the insults and provocations from "Stone Emperor," especially the blasphemy against her husband, and the fury in her chest was already monstrous! Her cold killing intent almost solidified, freezing the surrounding Void Realm until fine cracks appeared.

"Today, you must die!"

She said no more, the Chaos vortex above her head suddenly contracted and merged into her body. With a wave of her fair hand, she tore through the Void Realm, her figure vanishing from the spot and heading straight for the Cosmic Borderlands.

"As if I'm afraid of you! Today I will let you witness the Divine Might of my second life!" "Stone Emperor" laughed wildly, his stone feet shattering the Void Realm as he followed closely behind.

...

The Cosmic Borderlands, an ancient battlefield that had long been beaten into Chaos ruins.

Two figures appeared almost simultaneously, with no unnecessary chatter or probing, and the battle erupted in an instant!

"Boom!!!"

Stone Emperor's giant palm descended, evolving an ancient stone Star Domain within it. Billions of stars were all transformed by the Imperial Dao Law, unimaginably heavy, crushing the eternal blue sky!

Xiao Nannan's face was like frost. She struck out with her slender hand, Chaos Qi surging, transforming into a Chaos palm as crystalline as jade. Between the palm prints, scenes of the creation of the world and the birth and death of the ten thousand Daos flowed, clashing head-on with the stone Star Domain!

"Dong!!!"

An indescribable loud noise, the Chaos ruins were torn apart once more, and a terrifying energy storm swept across several Star Domains, turning everything with form into powder!

With a single blow, the difference in strength was immediately apparent.

Xiao Nannan's figure swayed slightly, and she retreated half a step. Meanwhile, "Stone Emperor" let out a muffled groan, his massive stone body flying backward, smashing through a dozen floating star remnants, his stone arm covered in fine cracks.

"Is that all!" Xiao Nannan coldly rebuked, pressing forward. Chaos Laws intertwined, transforming into billions of brilliant divine chains that locked down all directions, strangling toward "Stone Emperor."

"Stone Emperor" roared, his stone skin glowing, revealing dense, ancient runes; these were the innate Dao patterns of a Holy Spirit, with astonishing defensive power. He swung his stone fists, clashing head-on with the Chaos divine chains. Every punch shattered the divine chains and made the Laws wail, but he himself was also shaken by the recoil, causing stone chips to fly everywhere.

The two fought from one ruin to another. Wherever they passed, stars were annihilated, the Great Dao was broken, and even the River of Time was struck into manifestation, with spray splashing everywhere.

The Supremes watching from the shadows were more and more alarmed the more they watched.

Empress Ruthless's strength was within their estimations. But "Stone Emperor's" performance exceeded their expectations.

Facing Empress Ruthless, who had lived out a third life, possessed the blessing of the heavenly heart mark, and had achieved Major Achievement in the Chaos Body, "Stone Emperor," though suppressed, did not show a one-sided collapse! His defense was astonishing, his attacks were overbearing, and his combat experience was seasoned; he actually managed to hold his own against Empress Ruthless's storm-like offensive!

"Stone Emperor's second life... is extraordinary!" a Supreme exclaimed.

"Devouring one's own kind actually has such miraculous effects? It seems the Dao of the Holy Spirit truly has its unique aspects." A Supreme's eyes flickered, thoughtful.

On the battlefield, Xiao Nannan's heart also grew heavy.

This "Stone Emperor's" strength exceeded her estimation.

She had already used 70% of her strength, yet she could only suppress him, unable to severely injure or slay him in a short time.

The defense and power of the opponent's stone spirit body, as well as the strange metamorphosis that seemed to have occurred after devouring his own kind, all made her feel it was troublesome.

"Cannot delay." Her eyes sharpened, and she made a decision.

She beckoned with her fair hand — "Clang!" "Hum!" A clear saber cry and a primitive jar hum sounded simultaneously!

The Tyrant Saber emerged from the Void Realm, the nine-colored Immortal gold patterns on the blade shining to the extreme, the imperial might fully awakened, faintly possessing a charm that transcended the extreme dao and touched the Immortal Dao!

The heaven-swallowing magic jar also manifested simultaneously, its mouth pitch-black and deep, as if connected to the bottom of the Return to Ruins, emitting a terrifying aura of devouring the heavens and refining the ten thousand Daos!

Both weapons had undergone essential sublimation due to her many battles and the refining of Supreme Origins. Although they had not truly transformed into Immortal Artifacts, they were far from comparable to ordinary imperial weapons of the extreme dao, and could be called quasi-Immortal Artifacts!

"Kill!" Xiao Nannan coldly shouted, one hand holding the Tyrant Saber, slashing out a Chaos saber river that tore through eternity; the other hand supporting the magic jar, its mouth aimed at "Stone Emperor," erupting with a terrifying suction force that devoured the heavens and earth!

With the blessing of two quasi-Immortal Artifacts, her combat power instantly skyrocketed!

"Stone Emperor's" pressure instantly increased greatly!

Facing the saber light that severed Laws and the jar mouth that devoured everything, he could only push his stone spirit defense to the extreme, a layer of stone armor as thick as stars appearing around his body, while simultaneously punching out fist imprints that collapsed galaxies, fighting while retreating.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The saber light struck the stone armor, sparking blinding fire and leaving deep saber marks; the magic jar's suction kept tearing at his stone body, wanting to suck him along with his Origin into the jar to refine him.

"Stone Emperor" began to appear disheveled, his stone armor constantly shattering, his stone body covered in wounds, and his aura began to become unstable.

This scene made the Supremes watching from the shadows heart-palpitating.

"Empress Ruthless... is too brutal!"

"Two quasi-Immortal Artifacts! Just how far has she reached?"

"Stone Emperor is in danger! But being able to hold out for so long is already astonishing."

On the battlefield, "Stone Emperor," while "struggling" to resist, was smiling bitterly in his heart.

"My wife is really not showing any mercy at all... If this were the real Stone Emperor, he would have been beaten to pieces ten times over."

He was currently simulating the Peak strength that the Stone Emperor's second life "should have," so naturally, he could not use True Immortal means. In front of Xiao Nannan, who was fully unleashing her combat power with the blessing of two quasi-Immortal Artifacts, being able to "barely hold on" was already excellent acting.

After hard-resisting another dozen rounds of violent attacks, "Stone Emperor" finally "could not hold on," his stone armor completely shattered, his chest pierced by a Saber Qi, and stone blood (illusionary) sprayed out.

"Cough... Ruthless! You're ruthless! I will remember today's grudge!"

He left behind a harsh threat, burning his "essence blood" (illusionary), turning into a stream of stone light, tearing through the Void Realm at an astonishing speed, and fleeing in a disheveled manner in the direction of Undying Mountain.

How could Xiao Nannan let him go? She raised her saber to pursue, but "Stone Emperor's" escape method was strange, his speed extremely fast, and he seemed to have used some kind of forbidden technique that damaged his Origin, actually breaking her lock in a short time and successfully fleeing back to Undying Mountain, disappearing into that stable barrier.

Looking at the barrier that was closed again and motionless, Xiao Nannan stood in the starry sky, her chest rising and falling slightly, the killing intent in her eyes not yet dissipated, but there was also a trace of doubt.

This Stone Emperor... was even more troublesome than she had anticipated, and the strange method he displayed when fleeing at the end made her faintly feel that something was not right.

But she did not think deeply, just assuming it was a strange ability the opponent had gained after devouring his own kind. Glancing coldly in the direction of Undying Mountain, she put away her imperial weapons and turned to leave.

This battle, although it did not slay Stone Emperor, had severely injured him; she did not believe that this Stone Emperor could return to his Peak again, and besides, having suffered such heavy injuries, she calculated that at most, Stone Emperor could only survive for a few hundred more years.

Since that was the case, let him live in the fear of his lifespan coming to an end.
