Chapter 1510: Chapter 926: Time is Ruthless, Unable to Advance, Heart Demon Runs Wild, Transforming into a Mountain with One’s Body_2

Years passed, and in the blink of an eye, Tu Wa Zi spent countless days and nights on this land.

Tu Wa Zi felt that he had attained some understanding.

He began to try to integrate his comprehension of the land into his cultivation.

But this endeavor ceased three thousand years later.

For the initial clarity had become clouded, and he could not make any progress. He couldn’t even see, let alone touch, the Stone Gate that Gu Chen had mentioned.

Tu Wa Zi stood at the site of the old Native Tribe, frowning, with unwillingness and confusion in his eyes.

Three thousand years passed like a fleeting moment. He thought he had grasped the tail of the "Dao", only to find himself stuck in a bottleneck again.

He pondered Gu Chen’s words alone.

His heart remained pure, only seeing the Tao River flow across.

Tu Wa Zi started to reflect on whether he had been too attached to this land, ignoring the expansiveness and depth of the Dao.

Perhaps his "Dao" should not be confined to this land but should embrace a broader world and a deeper universe.

He left this land, embarking on a journey, traveling westward, measuring the world with his feet like an ordinary person.

He crossed endless deserts, climbed continuous mountains, walked through bustling cities, and witnessed countless sorrows and joys.

On the journey, he encountered various beings.

Some struggled like ants, some were born with wealth and luxury, some survived through begging, while others feasted on delicacies from all corners of the world.

Along the way.

Tu Wa Zi remained clear-minded, the sorrows and joys of the world, all unfolding before him like an ancient painting.

But in the end, he just felt more sighs in his heart.

"Why? Why can’t I ever cross this barrier?" Tu Wa Zi felt a bit desperate.

He began to question his choices.

Was his "Dao" wrong from the beginning?

Was he not suited to walk the path of becoming an Emperor?

Inner demons silently grew over the long years, wrapping around his heart like a venomous snake in the night.

They used his inner irritations and confusions to weave one illusion after another, making him experience failure and pain repeatedly in dreams, waking up each time utterly exhausted and despairing.

One day, Tu Wa Zi’s state of mind completely collapsed, and the killing aura within him ran rampant like an untamed horse, unchecked.

Centering on him, the land within tens of thousands of miles fell into dead silence, followed by tremors, with blood-red cracks spreading from all directions, converging into a vast Blood Lake.

Waves surged on the lake, with endless resentment and killing intent churning within.

Above the Blood Lake, huge blood-red hands slowly formed, dragging the surrounding birds and beasts into the endless abyss like messengers from hell, with the air filled with the stench of blood and despair.

The Immortal Kings are considered the strongest beings in ancient history.

The heart demons of such beings are beyond imagination, with the sea of blood spreading to tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

This abnormality terrified living beings, who fled desperately, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t outrun the Blood Lake’s spread.

The Blood Lake surged even more violently, submerging the endless mountains, turning the world into a scene of blood.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tu Wa Zi broke free from the nightmares woven by the inner demons.

"Demons arise from the heart, desire is their root. I acted out of anger. If not for the adult, I would have become a skeleton long ago, with no chance to seek the realm of the Emperor."

"I am just an ordinary person, with a trace of talent among mortals, but I have reached my limit. It’s time to wake up."

Tu Wa Zi opened his eyes, sighed deeply, then slowly stood up, looking at the catastrophe he caused around him.

"I was wrong!"

After speaking, Tu Wa Zi reached out his hand, forming a huge palm, grasping the center of the Blood Lake.

As the giant palm approached, the Blood Lake bubbled like boiling water.

Then, all the blood water gathered, forming a giant bloody hand, reaching out to meet Tu Wa Zi’s giant palm.

The Blood Lake resisted desperately, but how could it be a match for Tu Wa Zi?

The giant hand shattered, turning into blood rain, and the Blood Lake was directly suppressed, evaporated, and eventually, everything dissipated, leaving only desolation.

"The adult said, admitting a mistake is not terrible, what is terrible is not admitting it. I have always followed the adult, listening to his teachings, and should set an example."

Tu Wa Zi spoke seriously and reached out to his chest.

He pulled out his heart.

Then, he solemnly placed it on the ground beneath him.

"With my heart, I will guard this place for ten thousand years, to comfort the countless souls that died because of me. Any surviving bloodline can take a share of my heart’s blood, even beasts, breaking their shackles and igniting the Divine Flame in the future."

Tu Wa Zi spoke, his grand voice echoing around.

He sat down slowly, his body glowing, sitting behind his heart, closing his eyes, the brilliance on his body calming down, turning into a giant peak. His heart surged, transforming into a silver waterfall.

The waterfall poured endlessly, forming a lake, branching out into streams along the way.

Anyone who drinks this stream’s water will share a part of the King’s blood, being reborn, but that’s a story for another time.

Using the body of an Immortal King to apologize to undeveloped spirits is rarely seen throughout history, let alone in the form of heart blood.

Jiang Hui had already noticed this scene but could not intervene. There were no shortcuts; otherwise, he would have mass-produced Emperors long ago.

Upgrading would become an easy task.

When Shi Hao became an Emperor, he shared his insights with the Butcher and the Lord of the Forbidden Area, but neither could take that step despite their top-tier talents.

As for Tu Wa Zi’s way of atoning, Jiang Hui was pleased.

Respecting all life was one aspect.

Most importantly, being sincere. This way, Tu Wa Zi would have no more inner demons in the future.

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Hui looked towards a certain place.

There was the Frontier Wilderness of the Immortal Domain.

The extreme north of the Immortal Domain, the deepest part, was the Frontier Wilderness.

At this moment, looking out, the vast territory of tens of millions of miles was covered with endless yellow sand.

The sand was mixed with blood and corpses, covered by the vast yellow dust.

Going further inside, remnants of ruins and shattered formation platforms were piled up, with huge corpses lying behind the ruins.

Each of these corpses was hundreds of meters tall, some as large as towering peaks, stretching endlessly, but now lying in the yellow sand, full of wounds, dying with their eyes open, all vital force extinguished.

These were Supreme beings and even True Immortal levels. They were extraordinary in life, and despite dying for tens of thousands of years, their bodies showed no signs of decay, still emitting a divine glow.

Amid the sand, occasional low wailing sounds were heard, wind passing through broken structures, resembling countless souls lamenting unwillingly and mournfully.

Although the Phantom Immortal Emperor was blocked outside.

But the Mysterious Army was too numerous, with hundreds of Mysterious Immortal Kings and tens of thousands of True Immortal level Mysterious beings. With such large numbers, some broke through the formation and invaded the Immortal Domain.

The Frontier Wilderness was the weakest part.

After the Dark Army’s assault last time, this place had been reinforced once.

But the Immortal Domain’s resources were limited. Not all could be used for this desolate place, which remained the weakest part of the entire Immortal Domain, no matter how repaired unless a World Tree was moved here to guard this place and integrate with the Boundary Wall.

Though the Mysterious Army was finally repelled, this place remained devastated; the Mysterious Power first invaded here.

Even after tens of thousands of years, it still hasn’t recovered.

Giant corpses in the yellow sand lost life, but nourished by Mysterious Power, strange plants grew densely on them.

The twisted shapes, leaves like sharp blades, gleaming coldly, entangled the corpses, seemingly absorbing the remaining immortal power.
