Chapter 61: Not Regretting, but Ultimately Failing to Enlighten

  Everyone was waiting for the right moment to break through the siege, but suddenly a loud rumbling sound came from the direction of the breakthrough, and they couldn't help but be shocked. As they looked around, they saw that the group of monsters were rushing towards them like a flood, crazily sprinting in this direction!

  "Alas, where did so many wolf-like monsters come from!" Ji Du said with anger in his heart. If they continued to stalemate like this, even if they were tired to death, the next day would be even more terrifying. Seeing the enemy approaching from the front, they became even more frightened and panicked, their faces revealing fear. Zhang Emperor Xin secretly hid himself, thinking that this time there would be a good show to watch.

  "Immortal senior... Immortal senior, save me!"

  "Immortal Senior, if we continue fighting like this, our lives will be at stake!"

  "Immortal elder, immortal elder... I... I don't want to die!"

  No one is not afraid of death, even the immortal is no exception. As soon as they are surrounded, all the heavenly generals cried out in unison, and everyone who heard it was even more annoyed. They scolded: "You rascal, what kind of appearance is this!"

  As soon as the plan was made, everyone took out an object from their hands. As soon as this object appeared, it emitted a brilliant light of ten thousand meters, with seven-colored glaze and seven colors shining brightly, sweeping horizontally in all directions. Wherever it went, it was a bloody fog. The enemies who came to invade from all sides were shocked by the treasure, and they retreated in disorder!

  "Not good, let's go!" Wu Feng shouted loudly, his body transformed into a long rainbow, and he rushed straight ahead!

  Zhang Di Xin and Pan Si Niang originally had the intention to take a look at the excitement, seeing Wu Feng like this, they didn't dare to slack off, and rushed out directly. The two had just set out for a short while when they heard "Dong" - a loud bell ringing. This sound was thick and heavy, as if thousands of horses were galloping together, the voice piercing through their hearts, and involuntarily a chill rose up!

  Suddenly, dark clouds burst out from the top of Gu Huang Mountain, covering the entire sky in an instant. The surroundings turned pitch black, and it was impossible to see even five fingers when stretching out one's hand. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, making it feel like sharp blades cutting across the face. The wind howled as it moved forward, and someone hastily shouted: "Abandon all distractions and quickly take cover!"

  Zhang Di Xin didn't know where he went wrong, earlier when he was momentarily excited, he forced Ji Dao Ren to use his magic treasure. As soon as the treasure moved, it brought about such a disaster, and now he regrets it but can't undo it!

  "Hurry up and leave!" Pan Si Niang was in a great hurry, her whole body bursting with immortal energy, enveloping herself in it. She turned around to look back, but the figures of Zhang Di Xin and Wu Feng had already disappeared...

  The four sides were surrounded by howling winds, Zhang Emperor Xin struggled to resist, but every step was difficult, and he had to stick his body tightly to the ground, advancing slowly. In all directions, hands stretched out could not see five fingers, and could only move forward slowly according to the previous direction.

  Not long after walking, Zhang Disheng felt a chill under his feet. He looked down and found that the ground was covered with mud and a layer of sticky substance emitting a bloody smell.

  What kind of place is this, Zhang Di's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the surroundings were quiet to the point of being terrifying, even the sound of his heartbeat and blood flowing could be heard clearly. The most feared aspect of human nature burst forth in an instant, like wild grass, instantly overwhelming him.

  "Plop!" Zhang Di Xin walked slowly, suddenly heard a dull sound, and felt that his feet were being entangled by something unknown, pulling him down. No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no use!

  "Ah!" Zhang Di Xin let out a loud shout to boost his courage, and with one swift motion, he inserted the Tiger's Fang, immediately feeling a burst of blood spurt out, directly splashing onto his face!

  Suddenly, all around was a brilliant light. Zhang Emperor Xin raised his eyes to look and saw that the ground was a deep crimson, as if it were a sea of blood. Countless corpses piled up, humans, demons, beasts, and other known and unknown species, stretching out in a dismal and desolate scene all the way to the horizon!

  What kind of place is this? Zhang Di Xin was shocked, this place was too desolate, it seemed like a purgatory, bloody, bloody, all was bloody!

  "Kill!" Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream pierced the air, and the corpses on the ground instantly sprang to life. They crawled forward, ignoring their broken arms and legs, advancing straight ahead. In the distance, a golden figure stood atop a mountain, but its facial features were indistinguishable from afar.

  The corpses rushed towards the man like they had gone mad, and he smiled with a flash of golden light in his hand, sweeping them all away. What an incredibly powerful immortal energy! Zhang Emperor Xin was shocked in his heart. The feeling this person gave him was like the vast ocean, impossible to see through, unclear, and also impossible to discern what was real!

  Suddenly destroying the sky and earth, what kind of cultivation is this? The person was still rejoicing when he saw a distant golden light surging forth. Another golden figure emerged, entwining with the previous one in a fierce battle.

  One vast gulf separates heaven and earth; two great golden beams rise to the sky's edge.

  Dancing with the wind in the nine-layered universe, the urgent war resounds throughout the eighteen lands.

  A thousand roads of energy surge towards the Milky Way, ten thousand times thunder and fire pierce through the air.

  The essence of flying and dancing for three days, let it be known what is the emperor among men!

  The two men fought for a long time, each move was earth-shattering, every strike was a dazzling display of power, overflowing with divine energy, like a raging storm sweeping across the land, and like countless blades descending from the sky, tearing the heavens apart and splitting the earth asunder, as if they were about to change the world!

  As time went on, the person from before seemed to be slightly unwell and gradually showed signs of defeat. The person who came later burst out laughing, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said something that made the person from before's face change greatly. He raised a golden lotus flower that pierced the sky, and saw clouds rushing in from all directions, swirling in mid-air, as if they were going to tear the sky apart!

  This... Zhang Di Xin gazed at this scene, and his heart was even more shocked. The battle between these two people had already shaken the heavens and moved the earth. This beam of light seemed to contain an even greater energy. If one were to say that the previous battle between the two was like a vast ocean, then this person was like a boundless universe!

  At this moment, a talisman fell from the sky, as if it had the power to change the heavens, and suddenly bound the three people, a burst of golden light shone brightly, piercing to the point that one could not open their eyes, and the three people's corpses scattered across the wilderness, all without a trace!

  What... what is going on?! The scene just now was too shocking, to the point that Zhang Di Xin still doesn't dare believe his own eyes. Who are those two people? How can they have such power? And who is the person behind them with the symbol seal?

  A string of questions, like an explosion, rose up in Zhang Di Xin's mind, and in his chest, it was as if millions of headless flies were frantically fluttering about, almost bursting his brain!

  What...what's going on? Zhang Di Xin shook his head violently, regained clarity for a moment, but felt the dark winds rising from all sides, everywhere was filled with white sails fluttering, rumbling earth, yellow and white paper money, continuous and unending, all the way to the horizon!

  In the distance, a group of people, all with a demonic appearance, some with faces as pale as iron, others with faces like fire flowers, all with frost on their faces. They held various objects in their hands and buried unknown corpses. Zhang Emperor Xin saw this and his heart was moved, wanting to investigate further, but felt the ground beneath him sink, and everything around him disappeared!

  "Ah!" Zhang Di Xin suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that he had fainted and fallen to the ground at some unknown time. The surroundings were pitch black, and his entire body felt like it was falling apart, aching so much that he couldn't move an inch.

  Was that a dream? Zhang Di Xin shook his head, just about to get up, but with a "plop" sound, he directly fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere. In an instant, it transformed into raging flames, surrounding himself!

  What...what's going on! Zhang Di Xin was shocked, but found himself in a palace, with raging fires burning all around him. A beautiful young woman stood at the window, but the flames were too intense to see her face clearly.

  The flames surged up, instantly engulfing the man. Zhang Emperor Xin wanted to save him, but it was too late. On this side, a fierce flame suddenly burst forth from the beam, burning through the thick beam and directly smashing him to the ground. Suddenly, he heard a voice in his ear: "Yin Shang has no way, Western Zhou is king, this is the heavenly way, how can you go against it?"

  Heaven's way?! Is this really heaven's way?! Even the former near-sage would find it hard to defy heaven's way, let alone a small king like myself!

  There is no mighty power of heaven and earth, nor the protection of the Tao, nor the aura of victory. Why did I come here to participate in this doomed battle?

  Just for the sake of the Son of Heaven, just to prove that man can conquer heaven, this is the??? of heaven and earth, how can it be easily reversed? For the first time, Emperor Zhang felt that he was so tired, his own downfall would be like that of the previous person, which would be a soul scattered, never to be reborn.

  If it is so, I wonder if that person should regret, Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, Bi Hai Qing Tian night after night in the underworld, enjoying eighteen kinds of suffering, should they regret?

  Alas, nothing is greater than the death of one's heart. Zhang Emperor Xin was at a loss as to where to go or what to do at this time. His life had not changed, but his name had been altered, and he had done all sorts of things that went against heaven. Only then did he realize that heaven's will could not be defied...

  Zhang Di Xin was tired, so tired that he closed his eyes and felt as if he were floating in mid-air. He didn't even want to exert a single thread of strength. From afar, the sound of a bell echoed over, its lingering tones seeming to come from the edge of the sky. The sound resonated in his ears, transforming into a long sigh: "It's not that I don't regret it, but ultimately, I'm still unaware..."

  "What is this? The sound fell into Zhang Di Xin's ears, as if the elixir of life was poured into his mind, and suddenly his mind cleared. In front of him, a figure appeared, blurry and unclear in appearance, but he saw his shape slowly passing by, muttering to himself with these words."

  Who is this person? Zhang Di Xin asked in doubt, but another figure emerged from the mist. This person's words were even more resolute than before: "It's not that I don't regret it, it's just that I'm still unaware."

  "Senior, who might you be?" Zhang Emperor Xin asked, but the man's neck suddenly dropped, transforming into a fierce and mighty roar. With a large axe in hand, he laughed loudly before speaking: "It is not that I do not regret, it is just that I am not enlightened!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Di Xin felt a clarity in his mind. He was not regretful, but still did not understand. No matter how the world changed, he would only be himself. Man can conquer heaven - this is his creed. Whether he succeeded or failed, it would still be a regret, and he would never awaken!

  At this thought, Zhang Emperor Xin's heart suddenly gained a layer of enlightenment, and the whole person seemed to be sublimated, the four-sided boundary also began to fade away. With a bell ringing, his whole body felt even more invigorated, sweeping away the previous fatigue in an instant.

  Zhang Emperor Xing opened his eyes and saw that all around him was bright, the dirty ground from before had disappeared without a trace. The scene in front of him was empty, with only one large Peng bird statue. At this moment, someone rushed in: "Ghost Valley Daoist friend, how did you arrive here before me?"

  "This... earlier..." Zhang Di Xin also didn't know how he ended up here, nor did he know how to explain it. Wu Feng saw this and let out a sigh, saying: "Since fellow Daoist has fate with the Chaotic Bell, I'll escort you out!"

  Primordial Bell?! There's such a treasure in the Sealing God?! Zhang Di's curiosity was piqued, and he walked forward to see a small, ancient yellow bell on the back of the Great Peng. The sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind surrounded it. As soon as he picked it up, he saw that the bell contained mountains, rivers, and lands, as well as the hidden presence of countless tribes from the Desolate Era. Just by looking at the carvings on the bell, one could tell that it was a rare treasure!

  Zhang Di Xin had just picked up the Hun Dun Bell when he felt the sky and earth shaking. The rocks on the mountain seemed to be out of control, falling straight down. At this moment, a dark wind suddenly rose, and the stone statue transformed into a golden light that shot up into the sky!
