Chapter 95

With a single slash, the heavens and earth resounded, and a red glow flashed from the vast palm that the Celestial Mechanic had transformed into, tearing it apart between the middle and ring fingers!

A massive crack ran through the palm, connecting to the wrist.

One slash, and the palm was severed!

"You!!" The old Celestial Mechanic in the sky, his expression changed, suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly revealing an unprecedented brilliance.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth at that moment. The palm, which was tens of thousands of miles wide, had originally blocked Meng Hao's view and covered his world. But in that instant, as the crack tore open, the gap revealed the outside sky.

It seemed as if the sky, formed by the palm, had been torn apart, and the massive palm fell to the ground on either side of Meng Hao.

The ground trembled and sank abruptly, countless mountains shattered, and the countless birds and beasts within them could not escape, all turning to ashes in that instant.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Fenghan Sect, despite his desperate attempt to flee, could not escape the mountains in such a short time and was buried under the palm.

Only the three False Core Ancestors, with their formidable cultivation, and more importantly, not being the targets of the Celestial Mechanic, managed to pay a heavy price, spitting out seven or eight mouthfuls of blood, to barely escape to the edge. The ground behind them trembled, and the sky seemed to become a turbulent sea, until the massive palm dissipated. The three of them, pale-faced, stared at the scene in shock.

Outside the entire Reliance Mountain Sect, the mountain range that originally stretched to the horizon had now become a massive depression, with a clear palm print in the center.

However, this palm print was not complete, but split in the middle, creating a unique mountain range that resembled a winding dragon in the center of the depression!

Meng Hao stood on this mountain range, his feet on a path about a hundred zhang wide, not entirely straight, with the massive depression on either side.

Originally, there was no such mountain-like path here, but with the sinking of the surrounding areas, this place became the only existence.

Meng Hao's expression was momentarily dazed. He suddenly looked up at the sky, though he did not know who had saved him, he did not hesitate and immediately retreated, a flying sword appearing beneath his feet, carrying him swiftly away, transforming into a rainbow as he headed for the edge of the palm print.

"Who would have thought that the mighty Southern Domain Demon Lord would come to this small Zhao Kingdom, but you are just a manifestation, your true self is suppressed and cannot come, so you cannot stop me from exterminating the Reliance Mountain Ancestor!" The Celestial Mechanic's expression was grim, and he waved his sleeve, his voice rolling like thunder, echoing in all directions.

There was no sound from the sky, as if the blood-red slash had never appeared.

"Reliance Mountain Ancestor, come out!"

"Come out!"

"Come out!!" The voice thundered, and the Celestial Mechanic raised his right hand, slapping the Celestial Mechanic Bell beside him. Instantly, the bell's sound shook the heavens and earth, swirling and carrying the Celestial Mechanic's voice, resonating even more powerfully.

The peaks of Zhao Kingdom crumbled, and the ground trembled. Suddenly, a沧桑 (weathered) voice, unknown from where, echoed throughout Zhao Kingdom and reached this place.

"Do you... really want me to come out?" This voice made Meng Hao's eyes instantly narrow. It was the voice of the Reliance Mountain Ancestor, but to Meng Hao, it seemed different, lacking the usual unreliability and instead filled with a sense of weight and ancient weariness.

"You have finally spoken, Reliance Mountain Ancestor. Stop hiding. We have had indirect enmity for a thousand years. Even if you have just achieved the initial stage of the Spirit Severing realm, you should not have taken my manifestation's core. Since you dared to do so, today we will have a battle, and either I will live or you will die!" The Celestial Mechanic's eyes glowed with a strange light, and he raised his right hand, pointing at the Celestial Mechanic Bell. Immediately, the bell emitted a loud sound, and a ten-thousand-zhang light spread out, enveloping the Celestial Mechanic, making him look overwhelmingly powerful.

He was confident of victory in this battle. He had thoroughly investigated the Reliance Mountain Ancestor's true strength, and with the power of the second stage of the Spirit Severing realm, he was certain he could exterminate him!

He was extremely confident in this battle. Otherwise, with his cautious nature, he would not have come here in person. Even when a Demon Lord revealed his powers in the sky earlier, he was not afraid.

He felt there was no possibility of failure in this battle. He had brought the Celestial Mechanic Bell from the Celestial Mechanic Kingdom, which had absorbed the countless incense offerings of the kingdom and had already become sentient, making it his most precious treasure. With this bell, he could even battle a cultivator of the third stage of the Spirit Severing realm, let alone the fact that the bell was protected by a divine consciousness granted by the Immortal Li.

The earth remained silent for a while, and then the Reliance Mountain Ancestor's voice, filled with ancient weariness and weight, slowly echoed from all directions.

"Back then... I roamed the天河海 (Heavenly River Sea)..." The Reliance Mountain Ancestor's voice carried a strange melody, echoing with a sense of time. As his voice reverberated throughout Zhao Kingdom, the earth began to tremble.

This trembling covered all of Zhao Kingdom's territory, all the cities, and even the common people could feel it. Meng Hao lowered his head even faster.

"Many years later, after countless awakenings from sleep, one day, I saw a damn old turtle!" The Reliance Mountain Ancestor's voice carried more emotion, especially the last few words, which seemed to be spoken through gritted teeth.

As his words spread, the earth of Zhao Kingdom trembled more intensely, countless rocks shook, and countless buildings swayed. The areas of the three major sects trembled, causing the remaining cultivators there to be shocked.

Even the Heavenly River Market, located within Zhao Kingdom, was affected.

Meng Hao was also deeply moved, especially by the "old turtle" mentioned by the Reliance Mountain Ancestor.

"This damn old turtle, unable to defeat me, called a group of other turtles to fight me for many years. In the end, they deceived me, promising me many benefits, and I came from the Heavenly River Sea to the Southern Domain..." The Reliance Mountain Ancestor's voice grew angrier. After his words spread, the earth of Zhao Kingdom trembled even more. In the northern part of Zhao Kingdom, where the mountains connected, a massive crack tore open, stretching for millions of zhang and extending for a long distance!

If one could stand at the edge of the sky and look down, they would see that the crack was not straight but curved.

"In the Southern Domain, these old turtles deceived me, making me swallow all sorts of strange things, and in the end, I was sealed invisibly!! They promised me a great transformation after many years, but these old turtles either died or disappeared. The last one left secretly while I was sleeping, and before leaving, he gave me a demon-sealing ancient jade, claiming it was to find his descendants, but in reality, it was to use me to resist the heavenly tribulation!" The Reliance Mountain Ancestor's voice echoed with anger, and in the western part of Zhao Kingdom, another massive crack tore open, connecting with the northern crack, forming a semicircle.

This scene made the Celestial Mechanic's heart tremble, and he felt a strange unease.

Meng Hao drew a deep breath, thinking of the demon-sealing ancient jade he had obtained.

"These damn old turtles, they broke their promise and deceived me. In my anger, even while sleeping, I forced out a divine consciousness, but it was too weak, and the heavenly tribulation laws prevented it from manifesting. So, I had to reincarnate as a mortal and start my cultivation from scratch. Since they deceived me, I will cut off their lineage!

I changed the name of the Demon Sealing Sect to the Reliance Mountain Sect, and from then on, the divine consciousness called itself the Reliance Mountain Ancestor!" The Reliance Mountain Ancestor's voice echoed, and Meng Hao's eyes widened, his body suddenly stopping as he turned to stare at the earth of Zhao Kingdom behind him, his mind buzzing with the Reliance Mountain Ancestor's words.

The Celestial Mechanic's expression changed, showing surprise, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. The earth of Zhao Kingdom trembled again, and a massive crack tore open from the southern border. At the same time, in front of Meng Hao, on the eastern side of Zhao Kingdom, a fourth massive curved crack appeared, connecting with the other three to form a huge circle covering the entire Zhao Kingdom.

Inside this circle was the entire territory of Zhao Kingdom, and the vast earth, in this indescribable trembling, slowly rose, revealing black soil and stirring up endless winds, with large amounts of soil falling off!

As it rose, the earth trembled, and the sky changed color. The Celestial Mechanic's face instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with shock.

The earth rumbled, and as it continued to rise, it reached a thousand zhang, five thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang... until the height was indescribable.

It was like a massive piece of land being lifted from the ground, and Meng Hao was standing on this land, feeling himself getting closer and closer to the sky.

On this land were the cities of mortals, the three major sects, the Heavenly River Market, and countless living beings!

Until... the entire earth of Zhao Kingdom was completely lifted, detached from the ground and the Southern Domain, revealing a massive, indescribable deep pit below!

The size of this pit was exactly the size of the entire Zhao Kingdom!

And... in this pit, beneath the earth of Zhao Kingdom, there was a massive, ferocious turtle, with a body covered in countless sharp spines, resembling a玄武 (Xuanwu)!

On the turtle's shell, there was a thick layer of earth, as if the shell was wrapped inside, and that earth... was Zhao Kingdom!

The massive head, in that instant, slowly emerged from the shell, its size comparable to nearly one-tenth of Zhao Kingdom, with a dark green color, huge eyes, and a face covered in wrinkles, with soil still clinging to it. As it lifted its head, it looked at the Celestial Mechanic, who appeared tiny like an ant, with a pale face, trembling body, and a look of disbelief, his breathing almost stopping, filled with unprecedented shock.

"You, you called me out, wanting to fight me?"
