#896 - The End of the Road! Zhen Yuanzi's Crazy Self-Destruction

Shiva's attack happened in an instant,

and the distance was extremely short, so normal powerful figures probably wouldn't even be able to react.

However, Zhen Yuanzi was already prepared, and in that instant, he unfolded the Earth Book.

Clearly, Zhen Yuanzi had never trusted Shiva in the first place.

Neither of these two people was telling the truth.

Shiva coldly looked at Zhen Yuanzi, a stream of scarlet blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and evilly smiled:

"It seems that the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, doesn't trust my Asura clan at all!"

"However, this junior can only… invite Great Immortal Zhen Yuan to his death today!"

Zhen Yuanzi's face was as black as ink, and he gritted his teeth,

"Damn it, has your Asura clan gone mad? I am Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals! With my help, the rise of the Asura clan is just around the corner!"

"Why do such a mutually destructive thing? Does your Asura clan really think you can deal with the Western Heavens on your own?!"

Shiva coldly laughed,

"We are naturally not that naive, however, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, you seem quite naive as well."

"Do you think our Asura clan would really accept an existence that we cannot control at all? Moreover, you are not willingly surrendering."

"Joining my Asura clan would only become a burden to us."

"In addition, our Ancestor also said that he doesn't like two-faced people like you."

"So, we can only ask you to die!"

Shiva began to frantically attack the Earth Book.

The many treasures on his body activated, and in an instant, like a rain of meteors and fire, they crashed down on Zhen Yuanzi's head.

Shiva's strength was even higher than that of the injured Medicine Buddha from before,

He was a genuine Second-Rank Quasi-Sage, and in perfect condition, so attacking a Zhen Yuanzi who had fallen to a First-Rank Quasi-Sage was simply a piece of cake.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book still firmly protected against Shiva's attacks.

After all, on top of the Earth Book, there was also the energy of the Earth Book itself, plus the energy of the innate Wu Earth essence.

Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath, he knew that it was useless to say anything now.

However, Zhen Yuanzi was not flustered despite his shock, and he tenaciously used the Earth Book to guard against Shiva's attacks,

But, the pressure was enormous!

Zhen Yuanzi secretly calculated in his heart that with the remaining energy in his body, plus the energy of the innate Wu Earth essence, he should be able to hold on for a few more hours.

Zhen Yuanzi knew that this time, he had truly reached the end of his rope.

A look of determination flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, and his heart was filled with madness,

"It seems that I can only take that step!"

If it were the Western Heavens, Zhen Yuanzi could still beg for mercy and have a little bit of a chance,

But the Asura clan obviously wouldn't give Zhen Yuanzi a chance.

Just as Shiva had said, Patriarch Minghe would never accept Zhen Yuanzi's surrender. Now that they had caught the opportunity, the Asura clan would not let go of such a big threat, both publicly and privately.

Moreover, if Shiva devoured Zhen Yuanzi, his strength would also skyrocket. A subordinate who was already loyal, versus a prisoner with ulterior motives, the choice was obvious.

Zhen Yuanzi made up his mind that he could only abandon his physical body and reincarnate.

Abandoning the physical body = physical body self-destruction!

Reaching this level of cultivation, it was extremely difficult to be killed,

Because the True Spirits of many of them were directly imprinted in the Heavenly Dao,

Even Hongyun back then, when facing Kunpeng's annihilation, although he died, he still reincarnated and became one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Of course, that's another story.

Zhen Yuanzi was even more special,

After all, he was a Supreme Powerhouse, and he had lived for countless eons, so the methods he left behind were not just simple reincarnation.

Reincarnation could still be caught, but Zhen Yuanzi's means of rebirth would not.

As early as the last Immeasurable Eon, in order to prevent being involved in the killing tribulation, Zhen Yuanzi had already separated a small portion of his True Spirit and placed it in a physical body that had been prepared for many years.

And that physical body was placed by Zhen Yuanzi in a star outside the Three Realms and Six Paths, where no one could find it.

As long as Zhen Yuanzi on this side died, the True Spirit on that side would awaken and become another Zhen Yuanzi.

Although there was no longer the nourishment of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, that physical body and True Spirit were also existences that Zhen Yuanzi had nurtured for several Immeasurable Eons,

Once resurrected, Zhen Yuanzi would be able to obtain at least the Middle-Rank Quasi-Sage realm.

Although wanting to restore to his peak again would be a matter of countless eons, it was better than being devoured by Shiva's physical body.

He released the defense of the Earth Book, grabbed Shiva's hand, and didn't care about Shiva's frantic attacks on his physical body.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were incomparably mad, the spiritual power on his body became more and more inflated, and his eyes were scarlet red!

Zhen Yuanzi was preparing to self-destruct, even if the Earth Book on his body and all the treasures in Wuzhuang Temple were destroyed, Zhen Yuanzi didn't care!

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi had already become somewhat demonized,

He knew that if he self-destructed with all his strength, let alone Longevity Mountain,

The entire Western Continent of Cattle-Bestowing would be greatly affected!

Think about the self-destruction of the Crow's Nest Zen Master, even with the limitation of the targeted magic treasure, the Sky-Catching Net, it still created a sky full of fire.

If it hadn't been for the Second Buddha arriving in time and directly holding up the sea of fire with great magical power, it would not be an exaggeration to say that at least one area would have been wiped off the current map of the Western Continent of Cattle-Bestowing.

The self-destruction of a Supreme Powerhouse who was restricted in time was like this, let alone Zhen Yuanzi here, no one could stop him!

Although his cultivation had fallen, he was once a Supreme Powerhouse after all, and the energy of his physical body was still extremely vast.

Once it exploded, even the Southern Jambudvipa would be affected.

Shiva was also afraid and roared:

"Let go, let go quickly!!!"

However, at this moment, Zhen Yuanzi was experiencing a final burst of energy, and when he began to self-destruct, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was a chaotic mess.

Shiva panicked in his heart, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Zhen Yuanzi's hand.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was about to self-destruct, the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was still on the field, couldn't help but close her eyes in despair,

She knew that her life was over.

If Zhen Yuanzi were to self-destruct, she would not be able to stop him at all.

Not only was she finished, but the four travelers of the Journey to the West, who had just left not far away, would also be swept into the aftermath of Zhen Yuanzi's self-destruction.

None of the four travelers of the Journey to the West could withstand the self-destruction of a powerhouse who had once been close to a saint,

Even the Golden Cicada's escape from its shell would probably not escape the attack of the aftermath.

Everything seemed to be frozen in this instant.

But in the corner, Chu Hao's eyes opened, with no panic on his face, but rather a hint of mockery,

"At the end of your rope? About to self-destruct? Zhen Yuanzi, what a waste of a good hand!"
