Chapter 941: Enmity (3)
Emperor Taimi smiled brilliantly.
But when he laughed, the few drops of blood that flowed from his fingertips had turned into a horrible hell made of light and heat, where nothing else could coexist except light and heat.
Light, infinite light.
Heat, infinite heat.
Except for the light and heat from the same source, all other existences will be corroded, assimilated, rejected, and purified... In this boundless light and heat, there is an immortal will belonging to the Great Emperor Taiyi. It is like the supreme "law", the "law" with infinite power. He is above everything and can dominate and determine the fate of all existence with a simple stroke.
Lu Yu and many other people from the Heavenly Court present were enveloped by this horrifying hell of light and heat. It only took a snap of a finger, and no matter how strong their cultivation was, they would be purified instantly.
The Lord of the Heavenly Book let out a long roar, and the strangely shaped Emperor Blade of Annihilation behind him released circles of misty void Taoist rhymes, and forcibly split a very thin crack in the light and heat emitted by Emperor Taimi, barely protecting Lu Yi and all the people from the Heavenly Court who were present.
The price was that Tianshu Laojun was under extremely terrifying pressure. His small body, which was originally just over three feet tall, was compressed into more than two feet high with a few "cracks", and almost all the bones in his body were broken.
With all his strength, using the power of this blade, which was obviously of extraordinary origin and coveted by the Great Emperor Taimu, the Heavenly Book Laojun could only barely block the Great Emperor Taimu's attack for a moment. In the next moment, the Heavenly Book Laojun, along with Lu Yi and others, were all shattered and annihilated by the wrath of the Great Emperor Taimu, turning into floating light and dissipating between heaven and earth.
A palm-sized, silver-white flying crane screamed and suddenly rushed out from the star gate where the Great Emperor Taichu had just stretched out his palm to defeat King Qi. This small flying crane crashed into the light hell created by the Great Emperor Taiwei. With a long roar, the vast purple air rippled between heaven and earth, and wisps of extremely flexible purple air surged and rolled. An extremely strong imperial rhyme filled the void, abruptly extinguishing 70% of the boundless light and heat.
Then, one after another, silver-white flying cranes came flying in a line. These flying cranes flapped their wings and rushed around in the void as if their butts were on fire. Wherever they passed, purple air rose and the light and heat dimmed. The light emitted by Emperor Taimu was torn into pieces in a few breaths. Tianshu Laojun took a deep breath, straightened his waist suddenly, and saluted towards the star gate with a smile: "This old minister greets your majesty. Your majesty has infinite blessings!"
“Stop flattering me and find me a few more beautiful cranes.” In the void, the domineering, sacred, and supreme imperial rhyme shook the sky, as if there was an extremely noble emperor who was commanding hundreds of millions of troops to sweep across the battlefield. The overbearing aura of "those who obey me live and those who defy me die" shook the void, making people inexplicably excited and wanting to join his army, let them drive them, and become a chess piece to capture cities and achieve the cause of kingship!
The corners of Lu Yu's eyes twitched.
In the Supreme Primordial Heaven, the 'Emperor' was actually a great way, and someone had already cultivated to such a level on this great way? The purple air rolled in the sky, and it actually condensed into a large-scale military formation. The monstrous evil spirit rose up, rubbing and wrestling with the light emitted by the Great Emperor Tai Mi, and actually gained the upper hand.
The incarnation of the Taichu Emperor, who was bored watching the flying cranes singing and dancing in the Taichu Chengyuan Hall before, put his hands behind his back, swayed left and right as he walked through the star gate. With a shake of his body, he came to the side of Tianshu Laojun and Lu Yi.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ling Huan whose wings were cut off at the root, and grinned at Emperor Tai Mi, who had an ugly look on his face and blood on his fingertips. He glanced at Lu Yu, who had only half of his body left, with all his skin and flesh peeled off, leaving only half of his bones. He frowned and glanced at the "Dai Tian Xun Shou" seal floating next to Lu Yu.
"Taimian, you need to give me an explanation, right?" Taichu Emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't you know who Tianshu Laojun is? You want to kill him? Haha, aren't you afraid? In two days, I will go to your Taiimian Heaven and do the same thing you did to my subjects today to your Holy Spirit Clan."
The boundless light and heat from Emperor Taimi's body were restrained, the wound on his finger healed, and the blood disappeared.
He looked at the Great Emperor Taichu with a gloomy face and sighed: "Your subjects dared to wield a knife at me... This, there must be an explanation."
The Great Emperor Taichu stood with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the Great Emperor Taiwei. As he walked, he sighed, "This, must be explained. Well, everyone in the world knows Laojun's character and personality. He is the kindest person... He is also the most cautious in his life. You said he swung a knife at you... Tsk, it must be your fault!"
The eyes between Emperor Taimi's brows suddenly opened.
Thus, there was one more sun in the chaos.
The Great Emperor Taichu smiled, raised his hands suddenly, and lightly struck the air with his fists like heavy hammers. The tragic atmosphere of the battlefield, with millions of soldiers shouting in unison, rose to the sky. The supreme fighting spirit of fighting against heaven and earth, killing gods and demons, and slaughtering all living beings rose, and the tragic evil spirit turned into wisps of bloody smoke that filled the void, and actually forcibly suppressed the sun transformed by the Great Emperor Taimi.
Lu Yi was horrified.
Such magical powers, such might... Is it that the clone of Emperor Taimi is too weak, or is it that the original body of Emperor Taimi is not as good as the original body of Emperor Taichu?
There was a muffled sound. In the void, the extremely strong light and the extremely tragic evil spirit were annihilated at the same time with a slight touch. The Great Emperor Taichu also walked to the side of the Great Emperor Taimi. The two of them almost met face to face and whispered a few words. In the small void around them, the speed of time flow and the folding of space had undergone extremely mysterious changes.
Lu Yu could only feel that at that moment, the space folded a trillion times, and the speed of time was accelerated a hundred billion times by their great magical powers. The figures of the two became completely hazy and blurred due to the changes in time and space, and they could not see a single bit.
In the blink of an eye in the outside world, the void around the two people may have passed tens of thousands of years!
Lu Yi quietly felt the changes in that tiny space and time - the means used by these two emperors did not have any rhyme of time and space... They relied on their own extremely powerful, supreme, and unique avenues, to forcibly pry time and space, and used brute force to achieve the magical effect of space folding and time acceleration.
This is...forcing a cow to drink water without being drunk. The methods used by the two emperors made Lu Yi quite horrified.
After a snap of the fingers, the strange phenomena around the two emperors disappeared, and the two of them appeared at the same time.
The two of them were breathing heavily. At first glance, they seemed to be no different from before, but if you look closely, you will find that the perfect bridge of Emperor Tai Mi's nose has collapsed slightly, and there is a dent in Emperor Tai Chu's upper lip, which should be because two of his big teeth were knocked out...
With their cultivation levels, even Lu Yi could see these injuries that shouldn't have existed. This showed that in their previous exchange, the two of them had really fought to the death, and the injuries left behind were quite serious and could not be healed in a short time.
The two emperors took two steps back at the same time.
Two steps separated them by more than 20,000 miles.
Emperor Tai Mi pointed his finger, and rays of light flowed into Ling Huan's body. The wound on Ling Huan's back suddenly stopped bleeding. Then, rays of flame rose, and eighteen pairs of gorgeous, brilliant, and extremely arrogant wings slowly regenerated and once again spread out behind her like a round fan.
The Great Emperor of Taichu threw out two colorful pills that were almost completely condensed from light. One pill merged into the center of the brow of the Great Emperor of Taichu. The Great Emperor of Taichu exhaled a long breath, and the Emperor Blade of Annihilation behind him slowly sank into the void. He was surrounded by colorful starlight, and his aura suddenly jumped up, accompanied by a crisp sound of "click", as if his cultivation had directly broken through a bottleneck.
Lu Yi exhaled deeply, and in the same breath, his broken body was restored to its original state. An extremely pure and refined Daoist spirit surged in his body, and his acupoints opened one by one. Lu Yi's whole body seemed to be electrified. Under the stimulation of this magic pill, the acupoints in his body were perfectly opened, and the total number instantly reached a million.
The effect of this magic pill was extremely vast and powerful. It helped Lu Yi open up a million acupoints, and only consumed one ten-thousandth of its medicinal power. However, it seemed that when the Great Emperor Taichu threw it out, he casually added some restrictions to it. As soon as Lu Yi's first million acupoints were opened, all the medicinal power was gradually integrated into Lu Yi's mind and settled deep in his mind.
At this moment, Lu Yi's body was crystal clear and dazzling. His body turned into a pure transparent texture, with a million tiny light dots neatly embedded in various places in his body. Strands of gorgeous light shone through these opened acupoints, wrapping Lu Yi in a thick layer of mist, which was extremely gorgeous and sacred.
Lu Yi looked at Emperor Taichu in horror.
Just by taking a pill, he was able to transcend the Star Lord realm and reach the level of Heaven Lord!
Millions of acupoints, although he has just stepped into the threshold of Heavenly Monarch, he is indeed a Heavenly Monarch!
Lu Yi clasped his hands together and bowed solemnly to the Great Emperor Taichu: "Your Majesty, I am so kind..."
Being poor at speaking, he could not utter any flirtatious words like "I will repay you with my whole life", so Lu Yi just put his hands together, bowed, and solemnly recited a prayer scripture.
His calm performance made the eyes of the Great Emperor Taichu suddenly brighten. He smiled and nodded, pointed at Lu Yi, and said with a smile: "You wear the seal of 'Daotian Xunxiu', which means you are the public face of our Supreme Heaven... Even the Great Emperor cannot insult you. I have made you successful this time, and in the future, you should serve the Heaven well."
After a slight pause, the Great Emperor Taichu said calmly: "This Nine-Turn Fire Returning Star Pill can push you into the realm of Great Heavenly Sovereign... However, to reach the Heavenly Sovereign level, you still need to polish it carefully, seriously comprehend the Great Dao, and carefully consolidate your foundation. Therefore, the remaining medicinal power is temporarily blocked. Wait until your mastery of the Great Dao is elevated to a sufficient level, and then you can slowly enjoy it!"
Lu Yu's heart moved slightly, and he responded solemnly.
He sighed in his heart. The Great Emperor Taichu acted like this, both protecting his shortcomings and rewarding him handsomely. He felt a little embarrassed to accept the favor. However, could he really be a "loyal minister"... a "good minister" of the Supreme Heaven?
Emperor Tai Mi sneered at the side: "What a big deal! How many years does it take for your Heavenly Court to produce a furnace of Nine-Turn Fire-Returning Star Pill? And you're going to use it on this little bald donkey? You must have watched these flat-haired beasts dance and your brain has become…"
The Great Emperor Taichu looked back at him and said, "How about another fight?"
Emperor Taimu sneered: "One more fight, so what? Your Heavenly Court is most concerned with rules. Is your generous reward and gift in line with the rules of your Heavenly Court?"
The Great Emperor Taichu pondered for a while, looked at Lu Yi, and then looked at the Great Emperor Taiwei: "I am the rules of Heaven... Therefore, the existing rules of Heaven are not important. What is important is what I think, that is important... I admire this little monk. He dared to swing his stick at you. I admire this courage. So, I just want to give him enough grace."
Lu Yi almost clapped his hands.
There is nothing wrong with what he said, he likes... this kind of boss who protects his subordinates, and does so without following the rules, and is also generous, so generous that even Lu Yi is a little scared. He likes him, the more the better!
As for Emperor Taimi.
hehe.
Lu Yi quickly glanced at Emperor Taimu. Such a giant was certainly not something he could deal with at the moment. So, Lu Yi's eyes quickly fell on Ling Yu. The inexplicable suffering before was all caused by this woman. Lu Yi felt vaguely that this matter was not over.
Sure enough, it’s not over yet.
Emperor Taimu picked up the topic directly and pointed at the three unconscious Qingyou girls: "Well, the Heavenly Court is your Taichu Heavenly Court. Whether you want to uphold the rules of the Heavenly Court or you want to act recklessly and break the rules of the Heavenly Court, that is your own business and has nothing to do with me."
"But I want to take these three girls with me." Emperor Taimu said frankly, "What do you think?"
Emperor Taichu smiled calmly, and a group of palm-sized silver-white flying cranes quietly flew to his side, extremely naughty, circling and dancing around him like a group of monkeys with hot butts.
He said calmly: "No! It's wrong for you to say that."
Emperor Taimu pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes, I was wrong. Three little girls are not worth my speaking. Then, this matter, Linghuan, will be handed over to..."
The Great Emperor Taichu coughed lightly and pointed at Ling Yu: "Bullying the weak? I won't allow it."
Ling Yu took a sudden step forward.
With the power of Emperor , her cultivation has been raised to a level that is comparable to that of the previous Tianshu Laojun. In particular, the Holy Spirit Clan attaches great importance to "peripherals" such as "momentum" and "majesty". She is surrounded by thousands of brilliant lights, and the wings behind her vibrate, and there are pieces of void like water waves folding and vibrating, coming into being and disappearing at the same time.
She saluted solemnly to the Great Emperor Taichu, without any mistakes in etiquette - judging from Lu Yi's careful thinking, this little woman must be afraid that she would make mistakes in etiquette and be caught and beaten by the Great Emperor Taichu, right?
After the ceremony, Ling Yu said in a deep voice: "I will guide the three Qingyou sisters into the Holy Spirit Clan. If the Great Emperor allows, this is the cause and effect between me and Fahai...!"
The Great Emperor Taichu smiled and waved his hand: "As long as you don't bully the weak, you little kids can do whatever you want. Fahai, right? This is a training for you... If you can not suffer any loss and teach this arrogant little girl a lesson, I will reward you generously!"
While chatting and laughing, Emperor Taichu gently pointed his finger at the Tianlong Zen Staff floating beside Lu Yi.
A dragon roared into the sky.
The Earth Mother Root that Tianlong Zen Staff had taken before was digested in an instant, and the entire Earth Mother Root perfectly merged with Tianlong Zen Staff. From head to tail, the scales and claws of Tianlong Zen Staff rapidly contracted and opened, and the heavy and solemn aura swept back and forth from head to tail for dozens of rounds. The aura was so terrible that Lu Yi was now unstable and staggered back dozens of steps!
The whole body is dark gold, with star mist rising.
The Tianlong Zen Staff whistled and chanted joyfully, circling around Lu Yi.
The Great Emperor Taichu glanced at Lu Yu, and once again Lu Yu had the illusion that he had no secrets at all and that he was completely seen through. He broke out in a cold sweat, and heard the Great Emperor Taichu frown and say, "I knew that monks were poor, but I didn't expect that you were so poor? Apart from this Zen staff, you don't even have a single handy item on your body?"
The Heavenly Book Lord at the side had already digested and integrated the huge improvement brought by the Nine-Turn Fire Returning Life Star Pill. Hearing what the Great Emperor Taichu said, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said with a long sigh: "Your Majesty, you don't know that this little monk Fahai is very clever, and this old minister values him... As for the hardship... Oh, the lower world is so barren, what good things can there be?"
Emperor Taichu nodded and smiled at Emperor Taimu, saying, "It has to be fair."
Emperor Taimu said calmly: "Of course, how can my family take advantage of this?"
The Great Emperor Taichu smiled and said, "But we can't go too far. We have to be fair... Hmm!"
When he raised his hand, thirty-six fist-sized crystal balls with soft colors and restrained light flew out from the sleeves of the Great Emperor Taichu. There was a faint mysterious natural connection between these crystal balls. In each crystal ball, the light was changing and flickering, as if a huge world was hidden, with immeasurable magical hidden things.
Emperor Taimi grinned coldly, shook his head disapprovingly, and glanced coldly at Lu Yi, Qingyou and the other two girls.
This matter was not just about guiding three little girls from the lower world to become members of the Holy Spirit clan... For this matter, he, the Great Emperor Taimi, took action personally, but was actually chopped by his 'subordinate', Tianshu Laojun, in front of so many people.
He was stabbed and his flesh was injured, and he was bleeding in public. If he could just pull out the tendons and skin of the Lord of Heavenly Book and grind him into ashes, it wouldn't be a big deal... But before he could do anything, Emperor Taichu arrived in time and pinned him to the ground and rubbed him.
Of course, outsiders did not witness the battle with Emperor Taichu with their own eyes, but they can guess what happened... Today's face has been completely ruined.
Therefore, for the sake of his own face, he must guide the three Qingyou girls to become the Holy Spirit clan, and beat Lu Yi, who caused all this and dared to hit him with a stick in public, to death!
Since Emperor Taichu has intervened in this matter, it is not convenient for me to take any action.
Ling Huan...it is not appropriate for him to take action personally, after all, he is just bullying the weak.
However, the elite members of the Holy Spirit clan number in trillions. Just picking a few of the brightest and most talented people of the younger generation and bestowing them with a few treasures of decent quality can defeat Lu Yi beyond redemption and make Qingyou and the other three girls obediently become his family members!
In this way, winning back a game would be equivalent to giving Taichu Emperor a hard slap in the face!
At their level, it is impossible to determine the real winner in a fight between them...so, the fight for face is purely a fight for face. As for how many people will be killed or injured in the process...who cares?
However, the face-saving dispute between the emperors was only a face-saving dispute, while their face, when placed on Linghuan, Tianshu Laojun, and especially on people like Lu Yu, was a battle of honor related to life and death. If they were not careful, not to mention a newcomer like Lu Yu who had just "ascended", even a close minister like Linghuan, or even a capable general in the heavenly court like Tianshu Laojun, could be crushed to pieces in a breath and never recover.
Ling Huan stared at Lu Yi with a fierce look.
Lu Yi was looking at the thirty-six crystal beads that Emperor Taichu threw out casually.
The crystal beads rotated slightly, and even the many avenues in the nearby void began to rotate slowly, and even formed a vortex of Tao rhyme visible to the naked eye - these thirty-six unknown crystal beads were so heavy!
The precious pearl hummed, flew over, and merged into the thirty-six white bone relics hanging on Lu Yi's hand.
Then, thirty-six white-bone gods and demons leaped up, roaring and howling towards the sky. A terrifying aura surged out of their bodies, and a vast vitality suddenly burst out of their bodies. Each of these thirty-six crystal beads contained a large world, and all the power and Tao within them were forcibly compressed into a majestic, pure, and nearly endless life energy by some supreme and irresistible force.
In the lower realm, during the battle to explore the ancient city of Loulan, the thirty-six gods and demons who had turned themselves into bones due to their practice of the secret method of "viewing bones" all roared. The confinement of the secret method of "viewing bones" in their bodies was easily shattered, and endless life energy surged in. They quickly returned to their original state, and then... began to strengthen endlessly.
A trace of flesh and blood regenerated on their pale bones.
The internal organs began to grow rapidly in the abdominal cavity.
Nerves, blood vessels, fascia... muscles, skin, brain, spinal cord, followed by hair, nails, etc.... all the structures that a true 'living creature' should have quickly reappeared on the thirty-six white-skeletal gods and demons.
When the body has flesh, blood, and internal organs, it will naturally have meridians and acupoints.
Lu Yu did not dare to move. He did not dare to show the power of the "Lanta Buddha Fruit" at all.
But the 'method of liberation' taught by the old monk in the mortal world... Lu Yi silently recited the true mantra, which turned into huge dark golden Buddha patterns, like a golden surging tide, with the majestic rhythm of Buddhism, rushing towards the thirty-six white-bone gods and demons that had restored their original appearance...
Yu Dianhu and others reappear in the world.
Before they could greet Lu Yi, they had already received the liberation method that Lu Yi had transmitted to them. They shouted in unison, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to absorb, integrate, and digest the endless flow of powerful energy in their bodies according to Lu Yi's transmission.
Emperor Taichu and Emperor Taimi raised their eyebrows at the same time.
They smiled subtly at the same time.
In the Supreme Primordial Heaven, not every 'chicken, duck, cat or dog' can appear before them... It can even be said that any living being that has the 'chance' to appear before them has 'enormous' luck and a 'heaven-defying' fate.
Just like in the secular world, how could a beggar easily meet an emperor who controls the lives and deaths of billions of people?
Especially for practitioners, this kind of "opportunity" is even more important, and it contains some unfathomable and untold "destiny trajectory"... Lu Yu, a small figure who has just ascended to the Supreme Taichu Heaven, no matter what the reason, can actually be involved with two great emperors... Even if they are just clones of the two great emperors, they are still two great emperors!
A mere ant was caught in the vortex between the two great emperors, and instead of being crushed, it gained great benefits!
Even though Lu Yi belonged to the Heavenly Court, the two emperors had strange thoughts in their hearts - was this ant some kind of variable? Was he some kind of anomaly? Was he arranged by some powerful person behind the scenes? Was he part of some chain of calculations?
Even though Emperor Taichu was generous and rewarded Lu Yi heavily in front of countless people, he still had a trace of vigilance in his heart!
Just like an emperor in the secular world, a small man from a grassroots poor family suddenly appeared beside him... Is there any calculation behind this... This must be dug deep!
But when they saw the method of liberation that Lu Yi offered, the two emperors immediately felt relieved.
The old monk Hongchen has never appeared in the vision of the two great emperors.
The method of liberation is a kind of 'so-called liberation', but in fact it is the 'Hinayana Buddhism' of 'passive escapism', 'self-preservation', 'self-improvement' and 'self-salvation'!
The ancient Nalanda Temple was once the supreme Buddhist holy place in the Supreme Taichu Heaven. What they inherited was the "Mahayana Buddhism" of "actively saving the world", "saving all living beings", "blessing all things" and "universal salvation"!
As soon as Lu Yi's Buddhist teachings with a Hinayana flavor came out, the two emperors immediately felt relieved - this little monk was a pure lucky guy.
Emperor Taimi felt relieved and looked at Lingxuan deeply.
Lingxuan bowed deeply and paid homage to Emperor Taimu.
She knew it well - today, the Great Emperor Taimu lost face, and this humiliation must be covered up with Lu Yi's life. Lu Yi must die, and the sooner the better, and the three Qingyou girls must also join the Holy Spirit Clan.
It's not just because of their 'pure and flawless souls', but also because Ling Yan knows very well how terrifying the sword talents stimulated by the three women are after they ascended to this dimension.
The three girls will become extremely skillful chess pieces!
Ling Huan looked at Lu Yu and smiled slightly - in her heart, Lu Yu was already a dead man.
With a sound of "hum", the first batch of 4,900 acupoints were opened in the bodies of Yu Dianhu and the other 36 people according to the secret of Zen power of liberation... Then the second batch... the third batch... the fourth batch...
The crystal balls fused in their bodies contain endless power.
Their acupoints were also opening continuously in waves.
Especially their bodies, which were growing wildly and uncontrollably. With the sound of surging blood and energy, the bodies of the thirty-six people gradually became giants and expanded to a height of about a hundred feet.
Emperor Taichu admired his own achievements, smiled and nodded to Emperor Taimi: "So, this is the end of this little matter, right? What was the name of that evil demon?"
The Heavenly Book Master smiled and waved his whisk: "King Qi Tian!"
The Great Emperor Taichu and the Great Emperor Taimi simultaneously revealed an extremely brilliant smile... However, everyone who saw this smile felt their scalp tighten and their whole body go numb.
