Chapter 666: Chapter 665: The Appearance of the Respected God-hidden
Immortal Realm, Daluo Heaven.
Boundless Buddha light, endless Confucian music.
In common perception, Buddha and Confucius are peaceful entities, advocating non-violence and rational discussion. But this image shatters in Daluo Heaven.
Now, Daluo Heaven is extremely dangerous. Even Minghuo, a leading Golden Immortal, dares not venture there. A ray of Buddha’s light, a word of truth uttered by a Confucian saint, can easily annihilate a Golden Immortal.
Only a being who achieved the Primordial Chaos state can step in Daluo Heaven.
“Confucius, will you continue to persist in your wrong ways?” The Buddha, seated on a lotus with a compassionate expression yet extreme actions, questioned.
“Daozu is dead, and it’s only natural that Respected God-hidden should succeed him. Why do you insist on struggling?”
“Now, a massive cleansing is in full swing, and no matter if it’s the Ten Thousand Realms or Underworld, none can escape. If you renounce your dark inclinations and submit to the Heavenly Dao now, there’ll still be a place for you in the Immortal Realm.”
“The respected one appreciated your contributions to the birth and strengthening of the Ten Thousand Realms and, loath to kill you, had me persuade you.”
“If you exhaust his patience, it won’t be just me who takes action against you!”
The Confucian saint morphed ink into words, blocking the Buddha’s sound, and calmly said, “Daozu was my mentor and friend. I owe him a debt of gratitude. I must help him in times of need, and avenge him when necessary.”
“Buddha, didn’t Daozu also grace you with his enlightening conversations? Have you forgotten that?”
“Naive!” The Buddha, adorned with his angry eyes of Vajra, asserted, “If both you and I were to govern the Immortal Realm and let the plan for the destruction of the Ten Thousand Realms proceed faster than it is now, your selfish sentiments would only delay the entire scheme!”
“Revenge? You, who has neither been defeated nor victorious for nine thousand years against me, by what means do you seek revenge!”
“Let me guess, by your words?”
“The Black Tide is soon to engulf the world. Whether it’s our world or other parallel worlds, none can escape the destiny of destruction.”
“If we don’t destroy the world before the arrival of the Black Tide, ensuring that Respected God-hidden becomes the last man standing and earns the privilege of restarting the world to counter the Black Tide, what else can we do?”
“You keep saying you stand by Daozu, advocating that the Immortal Realm should not destroy the Ten Thousand Realms. So, how should we save ourselves?”
“Daozu had no second plan, he endured till the end and died. Do you wish to follow in his footsteps?”
“You’re not righteous, you’re foolish and hypocritical.”
“Don’t you understand the principle that without destruction there can be no construction?”
“You have preached across the realms, enlightened the human race, and are revered as the master of all realms. Yet in the end, you fail to understand this.”
Confucian saint fell silent. Indeed, he knew that Buddha was right. There really was no second solution; he was just stubbornly resisting without reason.
Just as the two were about to continue their fight, they felt disturbances beneath their feet and noticed the light illuminating the entire Immortal Realm.
“Did the Immortal Emperor use the Burial Immortal Spear?”
The two were surprised. What was the Immortal Emperor doing? And who was he fighting against?
Who, other than the resurrected Daozu, could be worth the Emperor drawing his weapon for?
It couldn’t be that the Emperor was contemplating attacking Respected God-hidden with the Burial Immortal Spear?
If that’s the case, it would become the Burial Sky Spear instead.
The two who had been battling for nine thousand years, unilaterally decided to cease fire, leave Daluo Heaven, and find out the truth.
The shock in their eyes was no less than that of the other immortals. They were so stunned that they could hardly believe their eyes.
What they saw was a stranger beating the Immortal Emperor, each punch heavier and fiercer than the last.
This was even the case when the Immortal Emperor was being strengthened by the formation of all the other immortals, harnessing the combined power of almost half the Immortal Realm.
It was not just the Immortal Emperor fighting, but rather he was locked in combat with nearly a thousand Heavenly Immortals and dozens of Golden Immortals.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperor was at an unparalleled state, the strongest since his Dao-establishment, his most glorious moment.
The Primordial Chaos being – the origin of the primal qi, the ultimate level achievable by living beings.
The Immortal Emperor, who had comprehended the rules of life’s evolution better than anyone else, currently found himself at the ultimate limit of all living beings, a state which could not be further improved.
It was now the most miserable time since the Immortal Emperor’s ascension, with a swollen, beaten face and half of his front teeth knocked out.
If it weren’t for the fact that both of them were Primordial Supreme Immortals with exceptional vision, who could recognize that the Immortal Emperor had reached his limit, others would never believe that the man in such a sorry state was the strongest being in the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Emperor, previously like a phoenix soaring in the sky, was now like a plucked, drenched hen after meeting Jiang Li.
The group of immortals formed a formation and transferred their power to the Immortal Emperor, who in turn, shared his injuries with them. The immortals vomited blood in large mouthfuls, and the essence of their viscera flowed out from their orifices, in a scene extremely horrific.
Using their accumulated virtue to heal, the immortals were then shattered by Jiang Li again. This cycle of recovery and destruction left them no strength to resist.
That someone single-handedly devastated the Immortal Realm was a tale even the myth could not concoct.
The terrifying fear in the Immortal Emperor’s heart was indescribable.
How could such a powerful being possibly exist in the world? One who exceeds the Primordial Supreme Immortal, surpasses the limit of life, and reaches an unprecedented realm, powerful enough to grapple with the Respected God-hidden.
Could life truly defy the heavens?
This individual’s formidable strength definitely had no relation to the Formative Heavenly Dao of Jiuzhou. Even sacrificing the Formative Heavenly Dao would not procure such power.
While the Immortal Emperor was horrified, the Upper Emissary Du Ye amongst the group of immortals was so terrified that he wanted to commit suicide.
He had originally hoped that Jiang Li and the Immortal Emperor would be mutually wounded, or that Jiang Li would be killed by the Immortal Emperor. That way, no one would investigate his responsibilities.
Looking at it now, Jiang Li’s power far surpassed expectations, and the Immortal Emperor was not his opponent at all.
Unwittingly, what kind of creature had he raised?
“Heavenly Lord, save me!” the Immortal Emperor pleaded loudly, his cries piercing through the thirty-six heavens and reaching the place where the Respected God-hidden was in cultivation.
Ding, ding, ding——
As the Immortal Emperor’s cry for help fell, a grand bell sound came from the beyond, sounding like heavenly music, captivating the listeners.
It was as if this bell ring had been sounding from ancient times to the present without interruption, seemingly originating from within one’s heart, continuously reverberating in one’s ears. Only now did they realise the presence of the bell ring in their hearts.
“Qiong Sky, why have you interrupted my cultivation?” the person spoke out the Immortal Emperor’s true name.
The sound of the bell transformed into a human voice, resonating in everyone’s hearts.
A plainly dressed person descended from the heavens. With each step they took, an endless expanse of water rose beneath their feet to support them.
The person was untainted by the worldly dust, showing no emotion. Their skin was delicate, and their appearance was androgynous, making it hard to discern their gender.
Anyone who saw this person for the first time would think of the most beautiful things in the world.
The person was beautiful to the extreme. Their charm transcended gender, species, and time, embodying all beauty.
If the beauty of the Heavenly Maiden from Red Dust was uncontrollable and perfect to the extreme, then this person was the embodiment of controlled and perfect beauty.
Jiang Li recognised this person at first glance.
“Respected God-hidden.”
The gaze of the Respected God-hidden swept over the hopeless Immortal Emperor, the battling Buddha and Confucius, and finally landed on Jiang Li.
With a slight furrow of his brows, the Respected God-hidden said, “You are quite peculiar. All living beings in the world are under my control, yet I’ve only just discovered your existence. Even as you stand before me, your fate is incredibly vague and impossible to see clearly. What is your origin?”
This was the first time the Respected God-hidden met a living being he could not see through.
“All living beings of the world must follow the rules of life’s evolution, categorised into twelve levels: Mortal, Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Union, Tribulation, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Supreme Immortal. Unless you do not belong to these twelve levels.”
As the Respected God-hidden was bound by the nine major rules, he was the undefeatable existence that possessed unlimited authority within these rules.
Normally, no one should be outside of his control.
This was quite strange.
