The smile of the Tathagata did not last long.
Maitreya took several fierce steps towards the present world. With every step he took, the breath of Tathagata suddenly weakened a lot, and his figure became blurred, like a painting covered by fog, vaguely difficult to see clearly.
Lu Yu didn’t understand what kind of supernatural power this was, but he roughly guessed that perhaps, many years ago, Maitreya had already arranged such a method - he rushed straight to the present world from the source of time in the Supreme Primordial Heaven to avoid the calamity of extinction... The price was that, after passing away to Tathagata, this evil incarnation of Maitreya would replace the original body and sit forever at the source of the long river of time!
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Maitreya is Maitreya, the Pure Land Buddha is also Maitreya, and the evil clone is of course no different from the original... Then, the Maitreya clone in the present world runs to the past and sits at the source of the long river of time, in exchange for the original Maitreya from the past to come to the present world... It's a very simple one-to-one replacement!
Lu Yu muttered in a low voice: "It even conforms to the law of conservation of mass and energy, right?"
Shuddering, Lu Yi shook his head and threw away the "heretical thinking" such as "science" from his mind... What "science"? He was "cultivating immortals", "cultivating immortals"... Didn't he see the "Lingshan", "Da Leiyin Temple", even "Maitreya" and other elements from myths and legends popping up one after another?
Even Lu Yi himself is a part of the "myths and legends"!
Before the creation of the world, there existed the 'primordial unity of gods and demons'!
Even though it was a weak innate mayfly, a minor character among the innate gods and demons, it was still an innate god and demon...
"Tsk, look at my own feet, what 'science' is this... Anyway, Maitreya used his present self to replace his past self, and let his past self replace his present self, exchanging roles in time and space one to one... This is very scientific!"
Although he didn't know how Maitreya did it, it involved the law of cause and effect, as well as time, space, and many subtle laws of the universe. Lu Yu couldn't even figure out the superficial mysteries... Anyway, Maitreya did it, so it's very scientific!
Maitreya is striding towards the present world.
The Reincarnated Tathagata was roaring, cursing, greeting Maitreya hysterically, cursing his own original body to have a bad death...but his voice could no longer be heard, and his figure could no longer be seen clearly. He was being pulled into the past little by little, and he was gradually changing from the 'real evil Buddha today' to a 'legend from the past'!
But Maitreya is getting closer and closer.
He was getting closer and closer, he was gradually approaching this year, this month, this time, this moment...
The stars in the sky were all emitting glittering Buddha light. The Buddhist imprint that Maitreya had left in the core of these ancient stars countless years ago finally erupted completely. At this moment, all the ancient stars were completely converted by Maitreya's great magical power. The entire Supreme Primordial Heaven had become a pure land of bliss, a pure Buddhist country.
Except for Emperor Taiyou and Emperor Qing.
Emperor Taiyu still had the authority of heaven and earth that he had stolen from Yinyuan. Although his aura was weak, it was pure and tenacious. At this moment, he was like a prince of the previous dynasty surrounded by millions of peasant uprising troops. He was pitiful, weak, and helpless, but he tried his best to maintain the little reserve and arrogance that the royal family should have.
And the Qing Emperor...
He raised his head and howled. He didn't care about saving the Great Emperor Taichu and the Great Emperor Taimi . He moved his body fiercely, and the two emperors were instantly drained without any resistance. The flesh and soul were completely withered, and the vast essence poured into the body of the Green Emperor. The skin on the back of the Green Emperor exploded, and dozens of thin, transparent membrane wings suddenly opened. With a piercing whistle, the Green Emperor suddenly flew into the air!
The heavenly soldiers and generals present, the elite of the Holy Spirit clan, all exploded as the Green Emperor screamed.
"I created you, and now you have to give it back to me!"
The Green Emperor screamed and screamed, and wherever his eyes passed, a large blood mist rose. The blood of the heavenly soldiers and generals was deep red, and the blood of the Holy Spirit clan was golden red, but the blood mist of countless heavenly soldiers and generals and the Holy Spirit clan mixed together and collapsed inward, turning into a crystal clear green color like the finest jade!
The bright emerald plasma turned into a long river, rushing towards the Green Emperor's open mouth.
The Green Emperor swallowed up the blood plasma of trillions of lives in one gulp. This blood was the blood he had planted in the bodies of the Great Emperor Taichu and the Great Emperor Taiwei. The Great Emperor Taichu and the Great Emperor Taiwei had reproduced crazily through various means, allowing their blood to spread extremely far and wide...
Even those heavenly soldiers and generals who supposedly had no blood relationship with the Great Emperor Taichu, when they were receiving the infusion and training of various resources in the Heavenly Palace, a drop of the Great Emperor Taichu's blood had already penetrated into their bodies and replaced their own bloodlines.
This drop of essence blood is like a parasite, living in the bodies of these heavenly soldiers and generals, subtly strengthening their qualifications, improving their cultivation, and completely changing their bloodlines bit by bit!
Therefore, the Holy Spirit Clan was successfully harvested by the Green Emperor, and none of these heavenly soldiers and generals were spared, and all became the Green Emperor's food to replenish himself!
Beside the Qing Emperor, the pale green divine light turned into a vast and raging sea like a real tide. He pointed his finger, and a ray of green light penetrated directly into the back of the Tai Yao Emperor. Suddenly, countless green Dao patterns rolled up layer by layer under the Tai Yao Emperor's fair skin. He was like a pile of dry firewood soaked in kerosene, which was suddenly ignited by the Qing Emperor with a fire!
"I don't know where you got this supreme avenue from, which belongs to the Saint Ancestor of our clan..." The Green Emperor screamed in a fierce voice: "Although I have never had the luck to meet the Saint Ancestor, this aura that remains in my blood, my memory cannot be wrong!"
"Taiyu, let's join forces and make one last gamble!"
"Life or death..." The Green Emperor's eyes flickered. He looked up at the sky. Through the three layers of the sky, he could see that the outermost layer of the entire Supreme Taichu Heaven, the world diaphragm close to chaos was shining with dazzling green light.
He laughed bitterly and said, "We can only kill them, only kill Maitreya completely, and use his head to absolve ourselves of guilt..."
With the blessing of the divine light from the Green Emperor, Emperor Taiyao slowly stood up. Yinyuan's attacks were shattered inch by inch around him. Above Emperor Taiyao's head, the mutated old osmanthus tree was shaking its huge body wildly. Countless roots turned into dazzling lightning, which hit Yinyuan, Lu Yi, Lu Yu, Master Langyue and others who were present.
The Green Emperor let out a long roar, and his true form of half man, half insect was revealed. His huge abdomen rested on the mutated old osmanthus tree. He took a deep breath and patted the old osmanthus tree.
Emperor Taiyu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. Most of the old osmanthus tree's countless rhizomes stabbed fiercely into the ground. The sound of "puffing" continued. In just a few breaths, the roots of the old osmanthus tree spread wildly underground. The farthest root had already extended hundreds of millions of miles away...
With every breath, the roots of the old osmanthus tree rapidly expanded underground... a billion miles... tens of billions of miles... trillions of miles...
At this speed, no matter how huge the continent recast from the stars is, and how vast its area is, it won't take long for the roots of the old osmanthus tree to extend to the entire landmass.
The earth shook suddenly.
The old osmanthus tree emitted a blinding dark green evil light all over its body. Its roots squirmed and began to frantically extract the power of the earth's veins!
The Green Emperor laughed wildly, and his upper body, which was originally handsome and majestic like a god, suddenly turned into a big insect with a hideous mouthparts and blurry and flickering compound eyes... He opened his sharp and rugged mouthparts and bit the mutated old osmanthus tree fiercely. Streams of sticky sap containing infinite power rolled into the Green Emperor's mouthparts and were swallowed by him in big gulps.
"Puff, puff, puff"... The Green Emperor's huge and fat abdomen was wriggling violently and twitching crazily. He raised his sharp tail cloaca, and several feet long, crystal clear egg sheaths were ejected from his body like a rainstorm. When the strong wind from the outside world blew, these egg sheaths were directly dissolved, and elite insects that were half human and half insect, with the aura of reaching the emperor level, rushed out crazily!
"Since this world cannot be controlled in my hands, then, let's destroy it!" The Green Emperor murmured, "I have failed in the end... My position in the clan is just a hunter... My destiny is only destruction... Management, or power, or calculating some more profound means, this is not the purpose of my creation!"
"I once wanted to change my destiny. I thought I could stand on a higher level."
"But since I failed... then, I will do my job... tear them apart!"
The entire Supreme Primordial Heaven was "angry".
The sky was full of stars twinkling madly, and the avenues turned directly into giant dragons that could be clearly seen by the naked eyes of ordinary 'mortals' who had not practiced cultivation. They penetrated the entire void, shaking the spiritual energy madly, rolling up a mighty spiritual energy tide, and condensing into a torrent of heavenly punishment that exterminated everything. It chopped down fiercely towards the Green Emperor, towards the mutated osmanthus tree that was madly extracting the origin of the entire heaven and earth, and especially towards the Taizuo Emperor whose aura had merged with that of the mutated osmanthus tree.
Emperor Taiyu sighed softly.
He took a deep look in the direction of White Snake, then he suddenly raised his hands, his body soared upwards, and he crashed into the mutated old osmanthus tree. His body and the trunk suddenly blended together perfectly.
"You are mine, because I am you." Emperor Taiyu muttered in a low voice, "So, you can only belong to me. Even though I know that my feelings are very perverted, very outrageous, and very unethical... so what? You are mine."
Emperor Taiyu's eyes shone with a dark green light, staring straight at Yin Yuan: "Then, I can only kill you. When the whole world is left with only you and me, do you have any other choice?"
Emperor Taiyao was laughing wildly. He rubbed his hands together and countless balls of lightning formed by sticky dark green plasma blasted fiercely towards the void, towards the earth, and towards everything around him.
These plasma lightnings contain extremely rich life essence.
However, everything has its limits. When the life essence that is too thick and rich, too pure and condensed reaches a certain level, it becomes a deadly poison that is fatal to living things. Wherever the plasma passes, countless lightning flashes burst out. All the creatures touched by the lightning, whether they are the little people under Lu Yi, or the Yaksha, Rakshasas, Asuras, etc. that he has subdued, or even the pure-blooded celestial beings under Yin Yuan, all screamed.
Their life processes were accelerated trillion times in just a breath.
The normal life span of the Celestial Race, calculated in terms of Great Tribulation, is an extremely long unit of time. The time from the birth to the natural destruction of a large natural world in the lower realm is the time of a Great Tribulation...
The natural lifespan of the celestial beings can be described as 'the same as the world'!
But after being swept by the lightning, there was no external injury, no internal injury, and without the urging of time, years and other powerful magical powers, their physiological functions suddenly accelerated in just a short breath. They grew, aged, and withered in a lifespan visible to the naked eye, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".
Their tremendous life energy sublimated to the extreme in a very short period of time, burning madly, like ore in a crucible, which was instantly refined into incomparably pure and extremely pure life source energy.
The lightning shot by Emperor Taiyao instantly shattered the space restriction created by thousands of outer sect guards. The entire imperial city shook violently, and the originally boundless imperial square collapsed. Countless dark green electric lights rushed in all directions, raging towards the entire Haojing City.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of neighborhoods closest to the imperial city of Haojing, mostly where powerful families such as the Linghu family and the Dugu family lived, were reduced to ashes in the dark green lightning.
In this area, all living things aged, withered, and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. Their life essence was extracted, and Emperor Taiyu took a deep breath and swallowed it down in big gulps, directly filling the trunk of the mutated old osmanthus tree.
These life sources were instantly transformed by the old osmanthus tree into pure, sticky sap, which was swallowed by the Green Emperor.
The Green Emperor was replenished with endless life energy and the origin of life. With a tremor of his fat and bloated abdomen, countless emperor-level aliens rushed out roaring.
Not much intelligence.
No intelligence required.
With such a short gestation and incubation time, it is impossible for any intelligence to grow.
These alien races, hastily bred by the Green Emperor, look half human, half insect, and their heads appear to be as big as those of normal humans, but their heads are basically solid, and the brain inside is only the size of a quail egg... Replacing the brain matter and brain tissue is a complex and developed network similar to the insect nervous system.
The most basic, primitive, and instinctive neural network.
These guys only have the most basic instincts - devour, kill, destroy... They only have such instincts. They also immediately perform their instilled instincts to the fullest.
Before they could even shake off the 'eggshell' slime on their bodies, they could no longer wait to let out piercing roars and rushed madly towards the Shen Yin army, whose formation was almost collapsed in the square.
The pure-blooded celestial natives, the little fairies, the Yakshas, ​​the Rakshasas, the Asuras… they were all killed in large numbers in the blink of an eye by the terrifying lightning released by Emperor Taiyu. Hundreds of millions of elite soldiers were wiped out in the blink of an eye, especially the generals who were at the forefront, who suffered extremely heavy casualties.
These 'cheap' and 'lack of intelligence' killing machines created by the Green Emperor, relying solely on their physical strength, are enough to compete with the Great Emperor who has comprehended the mysteries of the Great Dao and controls the power of the laws. They run like the wind, like lightning, like phantom evil spirits, they pounce into the huge army formation, waving their arms, kicking their feet wildly, and the air is forced wherever they pass. Wind blades that break through the air sweep across a hundred miles, and violent air explosions shake a hundred miles...
Wherever these alien races passed, large groups of elite Shen Yin soldiers were destroyed one by one, their entire bodies exploded, and blood mist splattered all over the sky. Then, the lightning of Emperor Tai Yu fell, and all the flesh and blood were quickly refined into the origin of life!
“Damn it!”
Lu Yi and Yin Yuan cursed at the same time.
The Taichu Bell above Yin Yuan's head vibrated violently, and waves of colorful divine light filled the void. All the elite warriors whose strength did not reach the great emperor level were quickly thrown out of the vicinity of the imperial city. In the Shen Yin Dynasty, the great emperor-level combat forces that had been cultivated over the years formed small battle formations in groups of three or five, gritting their teeth, and rushed towards these alien races.
The void around him was rapidly overlapping and squeezing... Yin Yuan was not very good at it, but with the cooperation of the ancient stars in the sky, he was becoming more and more skilled in folding the space, turning it into a thick space barrier, blocking the entire imperial city, isolating the lightning of Emperor Taiyu, and preventing those terrible alien races from roaming around.
Lu Yi glanced at Yin Yuan and whistled.
There was no need for Lu Yi to say anything more. Yin Yuan laughed loudly. He stomped his feet hard, and suddenly the whole void was filled with colorful divine light.
The Five Elements Avenue of this world, as well as all the derived laws of the Avenue corresponding to the Five Elements Avenue, turned into colorful lights and fell from the sky, smashing heavily into the bodies of the five gentlemen who had just followed Lu Yi's breath and ran back to the imperial city from the restaurant.
The five old men who had transformed into human form all widened their eyes, and their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
Yinyuan waved his hand comfortably, and the imperial seal hanging on his waist swayed lightly, and in the void, the magnificent sound of heaven and earth rang out - Yinyuan, as the master of heaven and earth, conferred the titles of 'Supreme Taichu Heaven Five Elements Gods, in charge of the operation of the five elements of heaven and earth, and in charge of exorcising demons and guarding the five directions of heaven and earth'!
There was still a little bit of dog, cat, bird, snake and turtle smell on the five masters... But with Yin Yuan's formal conferring of the title, millions of ancient stars corresponding to the Five Elements and all derived avenues flickered in unison in the void, and the power of the ancient stars fell and blessed the five masters, immediately washing away the last bit of the remaining 'pet smell' on them.
Pure.
majesty.
sacred.
Magnificent.
Broad.
The big parrot suddenly raised its head, and a pair of gorgeous flaming wings formed by starlight suddenly spread out. He flapped his wings fiercely and screamed, "My dear, the bird master has upgraded his rifle to a cannon. This is incredible!"
The big parrot didn't quite understand what 'upgrading from a shotgun to a cannon' meant...but he had heard Lu Yi talk about it before and knew that it was a more powerful change than 'changing one's appearance' or 'being reborn'.
He laughed hoarsely, howled wildly, and when he opened his mouth a bright purple flame spewed out.
This seemingly simple wisp of purple flame actually concentrates the essence of hundreds of thousands of divine fires, spiritual flames, holy fires and the like that are born from the innate and acquired flames of the Supreme Primordial Heaven... It contains infinite mysteries, and in this world, it is the most supreme and almighty magical power to subdue demons of the Great Way of Fire.
The big parrot spewed out a mouthful of fire, and the thousands of aliens in front of him groaned, and their bodies vaporized directly, leaving no residue at all.
Da Huang rubbed his palms silently, and when he put his palms forward, invisible ripples appeared in the air. The innate and acquired earth elemental magnetic forces surged and vibrated, and the terrifying gravity field stirred wildly, crushing thousands of aliens into ashes.
The caracal gritted his teeth, with sharp streaks of flesh bulging out on his chubby cheeks. He waved his hands, and cold light was stirring everywhere. He attacked without any plan, and the thousands of aliens in front of him were chopped into the smallest pieces of meat. The cold light then rolled over them, and the pieces turned into ashes.
The green snake is greedy...that's the nature of snakes, you can't blame him.
His body shook, no longer maintaining his human form, but transformed into a green dragon that controlled wind and thunder, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and immediately swallowed tens of thousands of aliens. The large amount of sticky venom in his stomach rolled and made a sound, and these aliens were turned into a pool of blood containing infinite nutrients, which was sucked clean by the green snake.
The alligator snapping turtle was the laziest. He simply revealed his true form, transforming into a giant turtle hundreds of miles in size, and firmly blocked the road leading to the depths of the palace.
He retracted his head and limbs, allowing tens of thousands of aliens to attack him in waves and beat him madly.
Any aliens that touched the thick shell of the alligator turtle would experience a flash of cold light on the surface of their bodies, and with a "snap" they would be frozen into huge blocks of ice. Then they would be directly shattered into pieces by the continuous and endless recoil force.
For a moment, although the alligator snapping turtle was just coiled on the ground without moving, the number of aliens that were frozen into ice by it and then killed by the recoil force was several times more than the total number of the other four masters who had worked hard.
"Idiot!" The Green Emperor screamed. He fiercely tore at the trunk of the old osmanthus tree and devoured the sap in the trunk frantically: "Not enough, not enough, some more, some more!"
As the Green Emperor roared, the roots of the osmanthus tree spread rapidly and frantically to further distances, spreading continuously... as if they were going to completely wrap up the entire continent and turn the entire world into an empty shell.
"Buzz!"
There was a bright light in the void, and the shadow of Maitreya was only one step away from the present world.
The Rebirth Tathagata was already roaring as he was drawn into the source of the long river of time. He was only one step away from sinking into the source to guard the other side.
Lu Yi jumped into the air, then struck him down hard with his stick.
His mayfly soul shone brightly, and an inexplicable transcendent Taoist aura permeated his whole body. It was extremely heavy, and had integrated thousands of Buddhist treasures. The Tianlong Zen Staff, whose grade had been raised to an incredible level, let out a long hissing sound, and with the cooperation of Lu Yi, it struck the trunk of the old osmanthus tree with all its might.
With a loud bang, the Tianlong Zen Staff smashed into the absurdly thick tree trunk, almost breaking the mutated old osmanthus tree.
The Qing Emperor, especially the Taizu Emperor who had merged with the tree trunk, all vomited blood and screamed loudly.
The Taichu Bell roared wildly, and Yin Yuan swung the Emperor Sword with great interest, slashing over with a sword.
