Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist! Chapter 1359 - 1358: You Can’t Afford This Price

Erging from the flas, Fang Zheng didn’t even have ti to catch his breath before he dashed toward Yuanshi Tianzun.

He understood his own weaknesses. In terms of strength, the only advantage Fang Zheng had over Yuanshi Tianzun and the others was being a Ti Dragon and possessing the Immortal Slayer Flying Dagger. However, that was it. Compared to these old foxes who had lived for who knows how many years, Fang Zheng was still far too inexperienced. If he couldn’t fight quickly and decisively, he would definitely be the one suffering in a drawn-out battle.

Simply put, Fang Zheng was currently high in agility, attack, and evasion, but very low in endurance. On the other hand, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tathagata were high in endurance. If Fang Zheng’s initial assault failed to take them down, he wouldn’t even get the chance to return to the starting point and try again.

Fang Zheng didn’t even hope to be judged leniently. Both sides had made their intentions clear—class conflicts were eternally irreconcilable. Fang Zheng represented the Human Realm to overturn the Celestial Realm, while Tathagata and Yuanshi Tianzun represented the Celestial Realm to suppress the Human Realm. This was an irreconcilable clash—just like slaves and slave masters, either the slaves rise or the masters suppress successfully.

There was no third option!

After defeating the Guiding Buddha, the second target was Yuanshi Tianzun. Watching Fang Zheng rush towards him, Yuanshi Tianzun’s expression also sank. With a wave of his right hand, a Jade Ruyi flew out of his hand, whistling through the sky, aid at Fang Zheng!

Three Treasure Jade Ruyi!

"Restia!"

Seeing the approaching Three Treasure Jade Ruyi, Fang Zheng wore a grave expression. He knew this was the ultimate treasure of Yuanshi Tianzun. If it struck him, even if he didn’t die, he’d be half-crippled. So, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, as the blazing Primordial Fire erupted from the Pitch Black Greatsword, mixing with purple thunder, striking towards the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi!

"Boom!!!"

The Three Treasure Jade Ruyi and the Pitch Black Greatsword collided heavily. For a mont, heaven and earth changed color, the ground fractured, and the sky shattered. Countless thunders ravaged all around, sealing everything within sight. The Three Treasure Jade Ruyi emitted a rainbow-like divine glow, like a blazing sun in the sky, trying to suppress the raging flas and thunder.

"Demon, face your death."

Amidst Fang Zheng’s stalemate with Yuanshi Tianzun, Tathagata took the opportunity to fly over and strike a palm at Fang Zheng. However...

"I knew you’d seize the chance to sneak attack, you bald head! Lock of Heaven!"

As Tathagata’s palm struck, Fang Zheng suddenly shouted in anger, followed by the golden Lock of Heaven appearing out of thin air, binding Tathagata’s limbs tightly. Simultaneously, Fang Zheng sent out another strike while swiftly retreating, standing before Tathagata Buddha, his left hand lifting once more.

"Co forth, treasure!"

Soon, the gourd appeared again, floating above Tathagata’s head. However, before Fang Zheng could utter "turn around, treasure," the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi soared and hit Fang Zheng’s back, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward. Yet even so, he gritted his teeth and cupped his hands again towards where Tathagata was.

"Turn around, treasure!"

With Fang Zheng’s words, the Immortal Slayer Flying Dagger spun three tis above Tathagata’s head, and then Tathagata’s head fell to the ground. A brilliant glow surged from his neck, heading towards the Western Paradise. But before it could travel far, it seed attracted by sothing and "whoosh," it flew into the Investiture of the Gods.

At the sa ti, Fang Zheng crashed heavily to the ground.

"Wretch, wretch."

At this mont, Yuanshi Tianzun approached, shaking his head at the smoke on the ground.

"Could human strength change the laws of heaven? With a strike of my Three Treasure Ruyi, I’ve reverted you to your true form, stripped of mana..."

Yuanshi Tianzun felt assured. It’s evident to him that Fang Zheng was in beast form transformation. According to the world’s logic, it consud imnse mana for normal demon beasts to transform into humans. Once reverted to their true form, however powerful they might have been in human form, they would be powerless once transford back, leaving them at others’ rcy.

"Reverted to true form?"

But to Yuanshi Tianzun’s surprise, before he finished speaking, a deep, resonant voice erged from the smoke.

"What do you take for? Yuanshi Tianzun, do you think I’m like those demon spirits or immortals? I tell you, the cost of reverting to my true form is sothing you cannot afford!!"

"Boom———!!!"

Whipping winds scattered the smoke and dust, and in the next mont, a pitch-black giant dragon hundreds of ters long soared to the sky. It spread its wings, almost covering the entire do. Its dragon eyes glinted with a golden glow, and fiery red flas spurted from its jaws.

"W-what kind of demon are you?!"

Witnessing this, Yuanshi Tianzun’s expression shifted, and the pitch-black giant dragon raised its head before him.

"I am Wings of Death, Destroyer of Worlds of Destiny, Terminator of all things, unstoppable, insurmountable. I am the Cataclysm!"

With a roar, the imnse black dragon took off suddenly. Thunder and fire converged into a tornado sweeping Yuanshi Tianzun within.

"Not good!"

Seeing the flaming Primordial Fire surging towards him, Yuanshi Tianzun’s face paled. Hastily, he lifted the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi he held, yet raging winds roared, and the fierce flas, like thunderbolts, tore through his space. Yuanshi Tianzun’s body rapidly expanded, soon matching the black dragon in size.

But before Yuanshi Tianzun could respond, the black dragon roared, charged with Primordial Fire like a fiery teor towards him. Poor Yuanshi Tianzun, having never encountered such a creature, was caught off guard and brought down to the ground.

"Boom!!"

Fang Zheng lifted his forepaw, slamming it heavily onto Yuanshi Tianzun’s chest. Under the weighty strike, Yuanshi Tianzun coughed blood imdiately. He attempted to do sothing, but reverted to his true form, Fang Zheng exhibited all the powers of a Ti Dragon. No longer aided by Tathagata or the Guiding Buddha, Yuanshi Tianzun could only contend with Fang Zheng.

Simultaneously, the black dragon lowered its head, its golden eyes fixed intently on Yuanshi Tianzun.

"You can do nothing. I will tear apart your world. The sea will engulf your burning corpses. Your resistance is aningless, and your faith is worthless. None can escape my wrath, and now... prepare to face death!"

Saying this, the black dragon opened its mouth wide, biting Yuanshi Tianzun’s throat. Following this, torrents of Primordial Fire spewed from the dragon’s jaws, swiftly engulfing Yuanshi Tianzun’s entire body. Soon, a gigantic volcano towering almost to the heavens appeared on the horizon, casting a red glow over the entire sky and earth.

No one knew how long passed; as the flas gradually ebbed, the black dragon raised its head. Beneath it lay what was once Yuanshi Tianzun, reduced to black ashes scattering with the wind.

"—————!!!"

The black dragon opened its mouth, unleashing a heart-stirring roar, and then it spread its wings, soaring into the sky.

"Pain... suffering... my hatred burns in the abyss! The world trembles at my tornt! The pitiful Celestial Court crumbles beneath my fury! Ultimately, the entire Western Paradise will be destroyed! Beneath the shadows of my wings, all turns to ash!!"
