243: Origin of the Heaven-Piercing Witch

Elder Mu stroked his non-existent beard, his expression filled with wonder.

"Such an extraordinary figure, what a pity! The later generations of Disciples were incompetent; in the end, the sect's Disciples were slaughtered to the last, and the Plane itself was shattered.

However, this person must still be alive; it's just unknown which Advanced Plane they are in."

"Mm, I also feel that such a remarkable person must still be alive." Ji Mo nodded in agreement.

The two ceased speaking and continued advancing toward the depths; he could no longer be bothered to seek out those Stone Turtles below the Saint Rank.

Any they encountered on the way were all killed and tossed into the heaven and earth creation bell to become monster beast pills.

Soon, the two had entered the core area. The harvest along the way had been consumed by him, increasing his strength by several thousand Dragons—better than nothing, perhaps.

In the center of this Dead Sea, Ji Mo finally encountered the Legacy he had been yearning for.

It was the exact same Legacy stele as the one in the Secret Realm, entirely snow-white, its surface smooth and devoid of any marks.

However, this stele was hundreds of meters tall, and a peculiar power constantly emanated from within it.

It was this peculiar power that dispersed all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, turning this area of the Dead Sea into a forbidden zone for spells.

At the same time, Ji Mo faintly felt that a peculiar substance was strengthening his Physical Body; if one were to Cultivate near this stele for a long time, there would surely be unexpected benefits.

Near this stele, there were several giant Stone Turtles standing guard.

The arrival of Ji Mo and Elder Mu startled them, revealing their formidable Imperial Rank strength in its entirety.

This actually gave him and Elder Mu a start; they hadn't expected such a tiny place to have the existence of Imperial Rank beings.

Furthermore, in this place, he believed that even those Peak Imperial Rank experts would be unable to do anything about these Stone Turtles.

Ji Mo did not hesitate; he unleashed his full firepower. With overwhelming force, he smashed these giant turtles to death, and their corpses were all collected into the heaven and earth creation bell to be refined.

To smoothly accept the Legacy, he and Elder Mu spent ten days slaughtering all the Stone Turtles within a 20-mile radius, turning them into nourishment for themselves.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take this stele away; there was simply no way. It was as if it had grown into this place; he couldn't budge it in the slightest.

Ji Mo placed his palm on the stele, and the Cultivation Technique path of the Hegemon Fist began to circulate within his body.

A special aura suddenly surged out from within the stele, drilling into his body and examining every inch of his flesh and blood.

Ji Mo's consciousness was once again pulled into the stele. He had experienced this before in the Secret Realm, so he was not panicked.

Before his consciousness lay a vast, wild land, exuding an ancient aura.

He seemed to see countless formidable figures battling Vicious Beasts, their blood and Qi boiling.

A blood-colored phantom stood silently in the Void Realm; it was the same figure from when he first accepted the Legacy.

"The Hegemon: those who submit to me shall prosper, those who oppose me shall perish."

"My fist technique is the ultimate Dao of the Physical Body, consisting of ten forms."

"To be able to enter here, you must have already learned the first three forms. Next, I will impart the remaining seven forms of the Cultivation Technique."

"The fourth form, Star-Plucking Hand. Condense all of your own strength into a tangible giant hand, erupting with twice your own power, plucking stars and grasping the moon, destroying everything."

"The fifth form, Absolute Defense. Condense the power of your entire body's blood and Qi to unleash a tangible defensive barrier, capable of withstanding attacks not exceeding three times your own power."

"The sixth form, Ten Directions Life-Extinction. The only group-attack fist technique; with one punch, ten thousand Dragons are born.

The stronger the power, the more raging blood-Qi Dragons are unleashed. Each raging blood-Qi Dragon can exert 1.5 times your own strength, annihilating all enemies in a violent manner."

"The seventh form, Annihilation. An upgraded version of the hidden energy; strike multiple hidden energies into the enemy's interior with one blow, erupting with 1.5 times the power to destroy the enemy. You can strike up to 10 hidden energies at most."

"The eighth form, Starfall. An upgraded version of the Instant Burst, capable of erupting with up to ten times the attack power."

"The ninth form, Strike of the Heavens. It can slaughter gods."

"The tenth form, Pangu True Body. From then on, Plane barriers will be as nothing; break them with one axe, and roam freely through the major Universes."

Ji Mo was shocked, his mind trembling to an incomparable degree.

"Eh! To think there is a Soul imprint from the Ancestral Land; I didn't expect to see a fellow countryman here."

"Who?" Ji Mo was suddenly startled. Could there actually be someone else here?

"Little fellow, do not panic. I am the creator of the Hegemon Fist; only those with the Bloodline of the Ancestral Land can awaken me."

"Ancestral Land? What does that mean?" This term made Ji Mo have some faint guesses.

"The Ancestral Land is the final location preserved by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World after the Primordial World shattered. All the final Luck of the Primordial Continent is on that piece of land. The living beings there, if they have the Opportunity to embark on the path of Cultivation, find it easier than any other living being."

"Senior, how do you know I am from the Ancestral Land?" Ji Mo was now full of questions.

"Soul imprint. When a living being is born, they will have a Soul imprint of the current Plane, or rather, the current Universe. I identified you through your Soul imprint."

"Is Senior also from the Ancestral Land?"

A long sigh sounded: "Me... I guess... but also not really...

I was a participant in that battle from the past, but... there were no victors in that battle. Even the victors, because they shattered the Primordial Heaven and Earth, were tainted by immense Karma and were liquidated by the Dao."

"Senior, who are you!" Ji Mo was now very curious about this person's identity.

"I am human, and I am also a Wu!"

"What! A Wu!" Ji Mo's expression was greatly shocked. In myths and legends, this term represented the ultimate of the Physical Body.

Now he finally understood why this last form was called Pangu True Body; none of this was a coincidence.

"Yes, it is Wu. I am a human-Wu hybrid, walking the ultimate Dao of Strength. In that battle back then, my Physical Body shattered, my Soul was extinguished,

leaving only a wisp of true spirit wandering in a daze within the space storms. Eventually, I was Reincarnation-ed in the Canglan Plane, finally awakened my memories of the past life, and created this Hegemon Fist."

Ji Mo's expression was shocked; today's experiences were beyond his imagination, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Then... Senior, where are you now?"

"After Awakening the memories of my past life, my Cultivation grew rapidly, and I soon reached what is currently called the God Realm. I broke through space and traveled to various major Planes, searching for the Wu clan Bloodline.

As for where I am now, I am not clear either; I can only faintly feel that my main body is in a Supreme Plane."

"That's too fierce! Holy crap." That was the only thought left in Ji Mo's mind.

"Little fellow, my time is running out. Meeting you is fate. I will gift you one more Opportunity, otherwise, you will be unable to Cultivate this tenth form.

"I look forward to the day you grow enough to meet me. Keep it up!"

After speaking, Ji Mo's consciousness was expelled from the stele and returned to his main body once again.

A drop of golden essence blood shot out from the stele and abruptly merged into Ji Mo's body.

"Ah..." A heart-wrenching pain came, a pain that pierced into his very Soul.

Ji Mo's body was constantly transforming, being remolded.

Slowly evolving toward a Wu body. Elder Mu initially thought Ji Mo had met with an accident, but upon careful observation, he realized he was accepting an Opportunity, so he stood by and silently kept watch.
