Chapter 787: Awakening, the Lord of Forbidden Self-Destructs

"Young man, this old lady walks a bit slowly. Can you help me cross the street?"

As the green light turned on, Wu Hao was about to walk straight across the street, but he was stopped by an old lady nearby.

Hearing the old lady's words, Wu Hao's brow furrowed slightly. For some reason, a strong voice in his heart told him that he must not help the old lady across the street, or else he would be extorted.

But in the end, his conscience overcame the voice in his heart.

"Old lady, let me help you across the street."

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he began to help the old lady across the street. However, the old lady was of advanced age and her legs were truly not nimble; a short five meters was forced into a distance of a hundred meters.

Just as Wu Hao and the old lady reached the halfway point, a strong light shone from a distance, making Wu Hao unable to open his eyes.

"Is that… a heavy truck?!"

By the time Wu Hao realized it was a heavy truck, it was already in front of him. Almost instinctively, Wu Hao directly left the old lady behind, intending to survive himself. After all, the truck's speed was too fast; if he took the old lady with him, both of them would become speed bumps.

But just as Wu Hao let go of the old lady, the truck seemed to lock onto him, charging straight at Wu Hao until it ground him into mincemeat.

The moment he was crushed into mincemeat by the heavy truck, an incredibly intense pain spread throughout Wu Hao's entire body.

"Am I… going to die? I'm still Xiao Chunan, I haven't broken through yet…"

Amidst the extreme pain, Wu Hao thought despairingly.

But at that moment, Wu Hao saw something and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw the old lady in the distance walking toward him, and with every step, her posture became more youthful. By the time she reached Wu Hao, she had turned into a woman of exquisite beauty.

"Who… are you exactly?"

Wu Hao stared wide-eyed, speaking in disbelief.

The beauty before him thought for a moment before speaking, "Me? I'm your contingency plan. Alright, it's time to wake up."

Having said that, the beauty reached out her slender hand and placed a finger on Wu Hao's forehead.

The moment her fingertip touched Wu Hao's forehead, the massive memories belonging exclusively to the Myriad Paths Heavenly Emperor flooded into Wu Hao's mind.

It was precisely because these memories entered his mind that in the next second, Wu Hao directly breathed his last.

As Wu Hao died, everything within the illusion disappeared.

Outside, Wu naturally felt Wu Hao's death within the illusion and couldn't help but sneer: "I thought he would hold out a bit longer, I didn't expect him to die so quickly."

Death within the illusion would lead to the death of the Physical Body outside as well, unless one awakened their memories; otherwise, it would be a dead end.

But Wu didn't believe Wu Hao could awaken his memories in such a short time. After all, this was an illusion he had created. In just five minutes, if Wu Hao could awaken his memories, then he wouldn't need to bother with such powerful cultivation.

However, in the next second, the Wu Hao opposite him opened his eyes, his gaze toward Wu full of mockery: "It seems your illusion isn't all that great."

"What! How is that possible? How could you break free from my illusion in such a short time?"

Wu spoke in disbelief.

Hearing Wu's words, Wu Hao's expression also appeared incredibly solemn. He hadn't expected his past life's arrangements to be so deep; even everything about him on Blue Star had been calculated, including his Transmigration, that old lady—everything was within the calculations.

"I… am truly terrifying."

Wu Hao thought to himself, then looked at Wu before him and took the initiative to attack without hesitation.

After all, there was no need to explain anything to Wu; he was just an enemy.

In the next second, the two top experts clashed once again. A terrifying aura spread throughout the entire Heavenly Emperor Domain. If they were fighting outside, who knows how many places would be destroyed.

Meanwhile, outside, on Xu Shi's side.

Even with the help of thousands of God Emperor level experts, Xu Shi was unable to take down the Lord of Forbidden in a short time.

"Damn it, this guy is truly difficult to deal with."

Xu Shi couldn't help but curse inwardly, but he was helpless. After all, the Lord of Forbidden's strength was real; if not for having enough people, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him at all.

Just then, as if sensing something, a look of joy appeared on Xu Shi's face. In the next second, several figures burst into the Forbidden Domain from outside, each radiating infinite Holy Light, like angels.

It was the experts of the Heaven Realm who had rushed over.

"Realm Lord!"

Upon seeing Xu Shi inside the Forbidden Domain, the Heavenly Saint experts of the Heaven Realm hurriedly spoke. Among them were Wu Hu and Wu Yu, who had broken through to the Tian Sheng Realm not long ago.

Furthermore, it wasn't just the experts of the Heaven Realm. Not far away, Xu Shi also saw an incredibly familiar figure—the Lord of the Abyss Realm.

"You guy, what exactly is the situation?"

Emperor Yuan looked at Xu Shi with an extremely solemn expression. He never expected Xu Shi to actually move against the Lord of Forbidden. And where was Wu Hao? Why was Wu Hao nowhere to be seen?

"Stop the nonsense and help me kill the Lord of Forbidden first."

Xu Shi didn't waste words and hurriedly urged.

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan didn't dally either and charged toward the Lord of Forbidden alongside Xu Shi.

Additionally, arriving along with Emperor Yuan were the experts of the Abyss Realm. Although not as powerful as the Heaven Realm or the Divine Realm, the number of experts in the Abyss Realm comparable to a God Emperor also numbered in the hundreds. Emperor Yuan had essentially mobilized his entire force to bring them out.

Seeing this scene, the Lord of Forbidden was incredibly furious and spoke in disbelief: "You… you all… damn you!"

The Lord of Forbidden hadn't expected so many people to move against him. At the same time, seeing Emperor Yuan and so many experts present, the Lord of Forbidden knew he could no longer hold on.

Since he couldn't live, why should he let them have it easy!

Thinking of this, the Lord of Forbidden did not hesitate for a moment and proactively charged toward Xu Shi and the others.

Seeing this, Xu Shi quickly reacted and shouted: "Be careful!"

But it was too late. The Lord of Forbidden directly self-destructed, and the terrifying power instantly annihilated everything within the Forbidden Domain.

Even the Forbidden Realm was affected by this terrifying force; the boundary wall shattered directly, and it would take at least tens of billions of years to fully repair.

After the aftershocks dissipated, the figures of Xu Shi and Emperor Yuan still stood in place, but they had suffered significant injuries. As for Dean Gu Yuan and the others, they had nearly perished; although they hadn't died, they were heavily injured, their auras weak and flagging.

If not for Xu Shi and Emperor Yuan protecting them at the last moment, everyone except the two of them would likely have perished under the self-destruction of the Lord of Forbidden.
