What a joke! Since River Reversal was known as the Life Slaying Technique, it naturally wouldn't only be used for defense like the Black Tortoise.
Offense was always the best defense. Ding Ning's personality meant that he couldn't just defend and not attack. Therefore, this River Reversal was not only powerful in defense, but also extremely lethal.
The Black Tortoise turned pale with fright. Strange images appeared above its head, revealing a vast ocean that poured out like a flood. Although it was only a virtual image, it was so real that it made people shudder.
Ding Ning's river phenomenon was immediately drowned by the vast ocean. He smiled unhurriedly and said, "A turtle that hides its head is really a turtle. So what if you have a lot of water? You still have no offensive power."
The Black Tortoise seemed to be intelligent and flew into a rage. As it let out a soundless roar, the calm sea instantly began to boil. In the blink of an eye, a monstrous wave rose and shrouded Ding Ning with a power that could destroy the world.
Ding Ning was not shocked but delighted. Sure enough, the old turtle still had a trump card. This move was like a tsunami eruption, and it definitely had the power to threaten his life.
He retreated like a bolt of lightning, slapping away Ghost Head's Azure Dragon, who was about to launch a sneak attack on him. After putting some distance between him and Black Tortoise, he drew a line in the air with his finger like a blade and shouted in a deep voice, "Mountain and River Break."
Terrifying yuan qi of the universe surged wildly. A terrifying crack like an abyss flashed and swallowed the monstrous wave. The space squirmed for a while before gradually calming down.
This move, Break the Mountains and Rivers, was comprehended from his father's blade intent. Although it wasn't as terrifying as his father's blade intent, in his hands, he had comprehended part of the Law of Space, so its power couldn't be underestimated.
Most importantly, ever since he became one with the world and obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Way, he clearly knew where the world's weakest point was. Even if he used power that exceeded the limits of the world, it wouldn't collapse.
This gave him a sudden realization. Perhaps it was because the Human Sovereign, Immortal Emperor, and Emperor Hades were recognized by the Heavenly Way that they could sense the weakest point of the Three Realms. When they attacked, they would avoid these weak points and not cause harm to the world. That was why they could use the power of the Immortal Emperor.
This realization made him very excited but also puzzled. He didn't know what it meant. Could it be that he was also qualified to obtain the Emperor's position? Be on equal footing with one emperor and two emperors?
But that didn't make sense. There were only three primary planes in the Three Realms, and there were a limited number of Great Emperor Causality Tablets. It could be said that every carrot had its own pit. There was no way there would be a Great Emperor Causality Tablet for him before the death of the one emperor and two monarchs.
Could it be? The Heavenly Master of the 33 Heavens and the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens?
That was a possibility. After all, the thirty-three and ninth majors had either escaped into the void and vanished, or had fallen to pieces. Their emperors had fallen, so there had to be quite a few dao immortals left vacant.
Many thoughts flashed through Ding Ning's mind. But when he thought that he had only obtained the Emperor status of a subsidiary plane of the Three Realms, he felt slightly displeased.
After all, he had the bloodline of the Three Venerables, so he should have at least obtained the Great Emperor's position from one of the three main planes.
What he didn't know was that while he was grumbling in dissatisfaction and fighting the Divine Beast of Four Extremities, a drastic change was happening in a secret cave of glaciers on Mount Everest.
"You're Ashes' man? Who was it that was so generous to actually be able to ask Ashes to take action? "
The crowned human emperor's dignified face was filled with despair and anger. He stared unblinkingly at the blurry figure in front of him that seemed to not exist in this space.
In his chest, there was an illusory longsword that had pierced through his body. The strangest thing was that there was no blood flowing out of the wound, and the surrounding skin had been pierced by a layer of blood.
This strange power continued to destroy and gradually crumble into ashes.
If he hadn't forcibly used the laws of the world to repair his body and maintain his vitality, he would have died by now.
Even so, he knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer. If Ashes injured him, he would die without a doubt. Even he, who had the Great Emperor Causality Tablet, would not be an exception.
Ashes was one of the oldest and most mysterious assassin organizations. No one knew who they were, and no one knew when they were established.
They only knew that they seemed to have existed since the Primordial Era. The requirements for accepting missions were very high and the rewards they demanded were extremely expensive. It was so expensive that even the Lord of a Realm would feel the pinch.
Of course, ordinary people didn't even have the right to contact them. Even the Lord of the Human Realm, the Ren Huang, was just an ant that they could kill at any time.
However, as long as they could contact Ashes and accept the mission with a satisfactory reward, the target of the assassination would definitely die. There would not be a second outcome.
The Ren Huang had only found out about the organization when he found an ancient document in a secret realm in ancient times. However, he was soon trapped in the Kun Peng Realm and didn't know much about the organization.
He had never imagined that he would have anything to do with this terrifying organization that caused the entire Chaosverse to shudder at the mere mention of its name. The reason why he was able to recognize the blurry figure in front of him was because Ember's signature was that all those who were assassinated by them would be completely turned to dust.
"Hand over the Source of the Human Realm and I might give you a quick death. Otherwise …"
The blurry figure spoke in an extremely hoarse and cold voice.
"Tell me, who asked you to do this? Ming Di? Or the Immortal Emperor? "
Since he was going to die anyway, the Ren Huang only wanted to know who hired Ashes to assassinate him. He looked at the assassin pleadingly and asked.
One must know that Ashes was not from the Three Realms. The assassin in front of him was obviously a projection that was forcefully teleported through the barrier between realms.
Even with the Ashes' organization's strength, they had to pay a huge price to forcefully teleport through the barrier between realms. The Ren Huang really couldn't understand who was so generous and what kind of price they had to pay to tempt Ashes to the point of going to such great lengths to assassinate him, a mere Lord of the Human Realm.
That's right, a mere Lord of the Human Realm. In the Three Realms, he was fully deserving of being a Peak King. However, in the Chaotic Universe where experts were everywhere, he was just like an ant.
A mere Lord of the Human Realm was indeed extremely precious to the people of the Three Realms, but it was not enough to attract the attention of a colossus like Ashes.
Therefore, he would never believe that the assassin in front of him was here for the Human Realm's Origin. Although his soul was constantly dissipating, his logical thinking was unprecedentedly clear.
Without a doubt, Ashes must have been hired by someone to assassinate a nobody like him. However, the target of the person who hired him was the Human Realm's Origin. Then, the Ren Huang's suspicion was reduced by countless times. It was either Ming Di or the Immortal Emperor.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was done by those old monsters who had been dormant for countless years. However, he felt that the possibility was not high. After all, just obtaining the Human Realm's Origin was not very useful. Those old monsters would only be interested in the complete Three Realms' Origin.
However, the price to hire Ashes was too high. Those old monsters might be able to pay the price to assassinate him alone. However, if Ashes wanted to assassinate the Ren Huang and the Immortal Emperor at the same time, no one could afford the price.
Therefore, after thinking about it, only Ming Di or the Immortal Emperor were the most suspicious. After all, they were the Lords of the Main Plane.
There was a high possibility that he could take out something that could tempt Ashes and ask them to help him.
"You don't need to know this. Hand over the Human Realm's Origin and I will let you suffer less."
The blurry figure said coldly and impatiently.
"Hmph! Although the strength of your original body is far superior to mine, you are just a projection now. Your strength is about the same as mine. If you didn't sneak attack me, it's hard to say who would be the one who would die. "
The Ren Huang pretended to be polite for a long time. When he saw that the assassin named Ashes had no intention of revealing the person who hired him, he no longer acted courteously and directly shed all pretense of cordiality.
The blurry figure's aura suddenly turned cold. He said coldly, "Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, then go to hell. After you die, the Human Realm's Origin will naturally be mine."
He grabbed the void with his hand and condensed a grey, simple and unadorned dagger. He then casually slashed at the Ren Huang.
"You want to obtain the Human Realm's Origin? Dream on."
The Ren Huang only felt a terrifying and cold aura firmly confining him. He couldn't even move a finger. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes. The power in his body erupted like a volcano. His entire body instantly exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The terrifying power of self-explosion caused the entire space to shatter like a mirror. Dense cracks appeared. The cracks in the space were like the bloody mouth of a monster that had opened a basin, swallowing everything.
The laws were chaotic and the void collapsed. Even though the blurry figure sensed that something was wrong and instantly turned around to escape, he still couldn't escape the range of the self-explosion. He was instantly torn into pieces of grey mist.
The void cracked and everything mourned. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Unexpectedly, there was a heavy rain of blood.
Everyone on Earth felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow as if they had lost their loved ones. They couldn't help but shed tears. They couldn't stop even if they wanted to.
"Damn it, I was too careless. I didn't expect this inconspicuous master of a small plane to be so decisive. Hmph, so what if you self-destruct? The Origin can't be destroyed. It will still fall into my hands."
After a while, following an angry curse, the grey mist gathered together and condensed into a figure again. However, the originally blurry figure became extremely illusory at the moment. It seemed as if it would dissipate at any time.
The gray figure stretched out his hand and took out a simple and unadorned mirror engraved with patterns. He dived into the area that was densely covered with cracks and searched carefully. The gray light emitted by the simple and unadorned mirror shone on his body. The chaotic power of the space riot and the blood rain were isolated outside. Even the cracks in the space could do nothing to him.
"How is this possible? How can there be no aura of the Origin? That damned bastard, just where did he hide the Source? "
Half a day later, the gray figure emerged from the broken void and cursed angrily.
"No, that's not right. I could still feel the aura of the Origin from his body. He must have used a secret technique to hide the aura of the Origin before he self-destructed."
The gray figure paced back and forth anxiously. Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned to look at the place where the Emperor self-destructed. A gray beam of light shot out from his eyes.
There was a deep pit there. The only intact crown was buried deep in the soil. The gray figure was immediately overjoyed. He sneered and said, "Did you think that I wouldn't be able to find out if you hid the aura of the Origin in the crown?"
He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the void. The crown that was buried under the gravel and soil broke out of the ground and flew toward the gray figure.
Just as the gray figure was about to grab the crown complacently, there was a sudden change. The crown suddenly turned and avoided the gray figure. It fled toward the north at lightning speed.
