Chapter 1051 The Supreme Emperor
It was as if a curtain had suddenly covered the sky, the sunset was gone, and the surroundings were dark, a dark universe filled with filth, with tragic roars coming from near and far.
The lanterns, with their flickering orange-yellow flames, evoke a sense of warmth.
But at this moment, this cluster of light ignored the lurking dangers and terrors, becoming a guide for the hunters, exposing things that had not yet fallen into madness and destruction to the darkness.
"Nine Netherworlds, a region mixed with Buddhist nature, is the area around Mount Ling."
Deep within Meng Qi's eyes emerged a crystal lamp, its light shifting and changing between black and white, seemingly capable of illuminating countless universes and all realms.
"Why did you have to come at this exact moment to stir up trouble for me? Is it really such a coincidence?"
It's unbelievable that the World Honored One would still be a novice monk starting over in the next era.
He glanced at where Su Lin had just been and felt a sharp pain in his gums, but Meng Qi didn't panic, as if this situation was expected.
Leaving aside some techniques not described in the novel's text, and techniques that are useless due to the timing of the end times.
This assumes that the Demon Buddha and the Golden Emperor have formed an alliance, and that some of the seals left by the Buddha have been lifted.
The only otherworldly entities that Demon Buddha Ananda can currently utilize are the 'Supreme True Buddha' under his control and some power within the 'Nine Netherworlds'.
The former, whether it is the Demon Buddha Ananda or the Golden Emperor, at the current point in time, cannot hand over the remains of the Buddha of Merit used for control to the Supreme True Buddha for devouring. Therefore, He is currently an incomplete Other Shore, and it will also take time to devour the remains of the Buddhas of Mount Ling.
The latter, the Nine Netherworlds, was Ananda's last resort for himself. When the 'other self' lost control and ascended to the other shore, the Buddha and the demon could only ascend to the Ancient Ones by refining the Nine Netherworlds, transforming into the world-destroying demon that symbolized the end of the era.
He had already made arrangements within the Nine Netherworlds, but even if the Eternal Mother intended to awaken ahead of schedule, she would still need some time to adjust.
'Ananda, unable to completely escape, lured me into the Nine Netherworlds, probably to test my abilities?'
Looking at the faint, seemingly nonexistent causal connections, Meng Qi secretly speculated.
Even if those demons who reside in the Nine Netherworld, which is the other side, are lured here, this place is still ultimately a region of the real world, and the Nine Netherworld will gradually be corrected.
Even if Yan Sen is not stationed here, Meng Qi still has a way to deal with the Nine Netherworlds attracted by the Demon Buddha.
Heh, the premise is that none of these demon gods who still possess perfected power in the real world are truly determined to become the Demon Buddha's lackeys.
Meng Qi thought to himself that this was impossible, since everyone was a competitor before the Nine Netherworld was refined.
"Even the Great Zhou Imperial Palace has demons?" Gao Lan frowned, glancing at a corner of the palace, but then slowly relaxed upon seeing the newcomer:
"So it was the Demon Emperor's Claw. No wonder he's a close friend of my third brother's."
Qi Zhengyan, dressed in a simple blue robe, slowly emerged from the filthy Netherworld. A hint of demonic intent flashed between his brows, but it quickly subsided.
"Attending this banquet has indeed been very beneficial, accelerating my mastery of the Demon Lord's legacy." Thinking this, Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly to Meng Qi and said:
“I was just struggling to find a suitable gift for you, and now it’s perfect.”
A muscular man in black armor stepped out from behind him, his body shimmering with a faint light. Immediately, a thunderous roar, like the beating of drums, swept through the Nine Netherworlds, and countless mindless demons were at his command.
These were the Demon Lord's former subordinates, the Nine Nether Demon Saints who had stormed the Heavenly Court. Now that Qi Zhengyan has become the new Demon Lord and has gained his approval, he can naturally develop his own power within the Nine Netherworld.
The contemporary human emperor, the contemporary demon lord, and even the lamp-bearer of the Luo Cult—anyone who dares to show their face will inevitably meet a tragic end.
But the information that the Eternal Mother and the Demon Buddha Ananda could have obtained was certainly more than just the tip of the iceberg.
Gu Xiaosang, dressed in a red robe and wearing a phoenix crown, spoke with a smile:
"The Luo Sect is my maternal family. Since someone from my maternal family is here, I should sit down and have a drink. Does my mother disown me, her rebellious and eloped daughter, or is she happily married to Ananda on Mount Ling, and having a twilight romance like the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother?"
"If that's the case, I can understand the absence."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of everyone who had just recovered from their shock were surprisingly varied and fascinating.
With such a strong aggressive attitude, Meng Qi's future status in the family is obvious.
These words weren't even meant to vent anger or provoke; upon closer examination, they all had underlying reasons. After all, Gu Xiaosang's mother, whom she couldn't forget, was also a manifestation of a part of the Golden Emperor's will.
If Gu Xiaosang addresses him that way, it's not wrong at all. While she seems to be teasing Ananda and the Eternal Mother about forming an alliance, she later refers to him as the Heavenly Emperor, which actually has two layers of meaning:
Firstly, it would inform the Golden Emperor that Ananda possesses the identity of the Heavenly Emperor. As for which one, it could only be the Jade Emperor from the previous era, who appeared before the Jade Emperor. If they were to compete for the Dao Fruit in the end, they would definitely be more cautious, and the cooperation might have flaws.
Secondly, it creates the impression that she and Meng Qi truly know everything about the future, and that their roles of active and passive have now been reversed, making the other side more wary and hesitant.
In the future, any further probing or hostility will not be so frequent.
In this way, even if the Eternal Mother and the others from the Other Shore risk their lives to return, she and Meng Qi will have enough room to maneuver, moving between various parties without being too hasty, so as not to make their steps difficult and proceed cautiously.
Of course, and most importantly, she is happy to be spoken to in this manner.
"."
Upon hearing such disrespectful words, the Lamp-Bearing God made no move; the wanderer's lantern simply swayed for a moment before being blown out with a whoosh.
Meng Qi is working on the causes of all the effects, connecting cause and effect, establishing connections, and searching for its true nature.
However, in a universe with only the threads of cause and effect, a series of obscure, dim, and demonic threads of cause and effect emerged out of disharmony, and strands of eerie divine lightning bloomed in the netherworld.
There were figures like Master Yuanmeng, whom Meng Qi knew, as well as a great Arhat with a radiant golden body, and even some images of deceased thunder gods.
It's covered in marks; are these "Ananda Himself" and "Thunder God Himself"?!
The ancient overlord suffered a backlash, and "Thunder God's Other Self" was taken away by him. Even though the overlord died, it is understandable that those remnants are now useless to the Demon Buddha. But why did he send out the mark of "Ananda's Other Self"?
"Third brother, demons are attacking!" Gao Lan's voice came from the darkness.
At the same time, the Emperor's Sword descended, its pale gold shimmering. Unlike the faint candlelight of the Wanderer's Lamp, all the light of civilization burst forth at this moment, suddenly banishing all the darkness within the Nine Netherworlds!
Sensing the presence of the Demon Saint Spear, the Human Emperor Sword automatically revived!
On the sword's blade, the sun, moon, stars, and all the myriad forms of the world, with gods, demons, monsters, and Buddhas prostrating themselves, are reflected in the eyes of all living beings for the first time since ancient times.
The sword hilt symbolizes agriculture, fishing, animal husbandry, the rudiments of writing, the myriad aspects of humankind, and the brilliance of all kinds of great achievements, standing shoulder to shoulder with the entire Nine Netherworld, which is exceptionally corrosive!
Although Gao Lan was occasionally a bit of a goofball, he was one of the few close friends Meng Qi could entrust his life to in the real world, and he could also provide Meng Qi with a lot of help.
Therefore, when they were in the City of All Heavens, Meng Qi invited him to go to the Void Heavens beyond the Real World.
At this moment, Gao Lan's strength was only one step away from proving himself a legend, but the path to becoming a human emperor was not only related to cultivation, but also required unifying the human kingdoms of the real world.
If the Great Jin is willing to submit immediately, then Gao Lan can begin the promotion ceremony on the same day.
"How did the demon race manage to infiltrate?"
Dark flames scorched the netherworld and the void. A black-gold spear with phoenix wings emerged. Without Gao Lan's reminder, he could already smell the scent of the cunning fox from the Qingqiu lineage.
Before Meng Qi could figure it out, it was almost completely synchronized.
The demon army, protected by the Xuanhuang Barrier, surged into this place in a mighty manner from where the Wanderer's Lantern had been extinguished.
Like a sudden burst of light, the light pierced through the illusion, and white lotuses bloomed. The projection of the myriad worlds formed by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Vacuum Homeland overlapped with the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It turned out that the demon race, who was tens of thousands of miles away, was directly ferried from the Sea of Death through the guide lanterns and the vacuum homeland, allowing them to directly cross the blockade of the Great Border and enter the imperial city!
Destroying the Great Zhou territory is destroying the core area of the Real World, and destroying the core area of the Real World is destroying the hub of all the heavens and myriad worlds. There will inevitably be a terrifying backlash on the scale of the real multiverse, which is also the reliance of the human race.
If the demon race and the human race were to wage war normally at this point in time, the assistance provided by Luo Jiao to the demon race could directly determine the outcome of the battle.
The demonic energy and deathly intent permeated the area, causing the Nine Netherworld River to flow in branches, exuding a sinister aura and revealing its murderous intent.
At that very moment, the 'Ananda' imprint in Meng Qi's eyes, amidst the sudden surge of karma, converged and collapsed in some inexplicable direction, forming an incredibly thick crimson causal line.
"I see."
Meng Qi's gaze swept over the demon army and the Demon Saint Spear, whose Five Virtues Power had entered its explosive state, and he immediately understood what the Demon Buddha wanted to do.
—That scumbag is going to play with women's feelings again!
He knew the Demon Saint Feng Xi's unwavering resentment; the phrase "fight to the death" was child's play when describing their relationship. Even if Feng Xi "passed away," he would still use this resentment to achieve his goals.
Despite the curses, these projections of the Demon Buddha were crucial for Meng Qi's advancement to Legendary status, and now the Demon Buddha willingly sent them back as a sacrifice, leaving him with no way to avoid them!
Compared to spending time and effort creating a virtual self, forming a connection imprint, experiencing subtle changes, and taking time to adjust and obtain feedback, this kind of quick fix has both advantages and disadvantages for the current self.
Immediately, he contacted Iwamori and asked him to take care of the other friends present, so that he could take a gamble without any worries!
"Then let's do it." Meng Qi drew his Absolute Blade.
The Overlord Blade unleashed purple lightning, its power even greater than usual. This wasn't because it sensed Meng Qi's awakening, but because it had been provoked by the Heavenly Court and was bottling up its anger with nowhere to vent it.
"Ananda!" The little fox Qingqiu frowned, her pretty face serious. She gritted her teeth and immediately handed the Demon Saint Spear aside.
That was an elderly, legendary minor saint, possessing the five virtues and the power to extinguish the world with nine flames. He was a descendant of the Phoenix Clan and was more suitable than the little fox to wield the Demon Saint Spear at this moment.
Having learned of Ananda's "secret" from the back mountain of Shaolin, the legend among the demons tells of how they would rather be washed away by time and suffer wear and tear than not awaken ahead of time.
In an instant, the primordial chaos erupted, and the Pagoda of Merit condensed along the tip of the spear. The Demon Saint Spear and the Human Emperor Sword responded simultaneously, accelerating their revival. Boundless five-colored flames collided with the radiance of human civilization.
However, the one who wields the Demon God Spear is a legend. The level of power that can be unleashed by using peerless divine weapons varies greatly depending on the realm of cultivation.
The spear was grasped by the Little Saint, who had manifested his true form as a phoenix, with his two claws. The two phoenix flames merged and, with a thrust of the spear, burned and engulfed everything. Even the sounds and the filth of the Nine Netherworlds disappeared briefly, leaving a deathly silence.
Without a sound, Meng Qi flipped his wrist, and his long sword slashed vertically, heading straight for the demon saint's spear that was thrusting towards him.
Even if I haven't broken through to a higher realm, with what I've accumulated so far, I might be able to face the legends and be a match for the strongest in this world!
Today, let's see whether the Demon Saint Spear's "Number One Destruction" is more powerful, or my Absolute Blade's "Number One Fierceness" is more potent!
Whoosh!
The blade fell, but missed its target.
The expected collision did not occur, which caused the Lamp-Bearing God and Sha Wujing, who were waiting for an opportunity, to stop their subsequent preparations.
Meng Qi looked up in astonishment, only to find that the Demon Saint Spear, along with the Phoenix Little Saint, was charging towards the vicinity of the Nine Nether Rift. The images of destruction, slaughter, freezing, depravity, and death gradually faded, and the things inside became clearer.
Clang——
It was even deeper than the sound of metal clashing, and the interplay of flames and purple light created a vortex of shadows.
A man in a magnificent purple robe is surrounded by countless fragments of the dark universe.
He lowered his head in a daze, looking at the Demon Saint Spear, which was blocked by an invisible barrier three inches from his chest, and then raised his head in a daze, looking at Meng Qi not far away.
Su Lin: "?"
"..." Meng Qi watched silently as a crimson causal line passed through the signal device "Cause of All Effects," and was then forcibly pulled away by an invisible and inexplicable force.
The essence of the abyss, or rather, the Nine Netherworlds, flows silently.
Like silken threads from a silkworm cocoon, they bound Su Lin, who was on the verge of stepping into the realm of interdimensional existence, and continuously flowed into his body.
[The Crystallization of the Abyss Concept: Heavenly Emperor]
"I will describe your dream."
Su Lin seemed to admit defeat, and smiled with relief: "Your Nine Netherworld is a local area network that can connect to ports."
[The departed gods have been inflicted upon this body.]
[Heaven is called the Imperial Heaven, also known as the Supreme God, and directly referred to as the Emperor. The Imperial Heaven is supreme.]
With a hum, the fragments of the Haotian Mirror in Jiang Zhiwei's arms flew out, illuminating countless rays of light. Each ray of light seemed to lead to a universe, and in each universe, a majestic emperor's figure appeared.
Rumble
The thunder roared even louder, and the wind howled, traversing thousands of years, billions of years, and even endless time, with an ancient and domineering primordial aura permeating from those past and future experiences.
They all took a step forward at the same time, entering the Nine Nether Rift together with the fragments of the Haotian Mirror that flew from all the heavens and myriad worlds. Each fragment transformed into black light, swirling and flying around.
Countless images converged, stacked into a picture album, and formed a book. The figure of the Heavenly Emperor quietly appeared and overlapped with Su Lin.
This has been true since time immemorial, and it will remain true in the future.
Within the Nine Netherworlds, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor looked in horror at the Nine Netherworld rift opened by the Luo Sect. The illusory river of time surged through the Nine Netherworlds, causing the core of the Nine Netherworlds to shift.
Inside the Xuan Tian Sect's hall, waves surged around the Time Blade, like waves rising on the sea.
In the Western Paradise, in the central land, the dreamlike mist and bubbles remain unchanged through the ages. Within the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, a blue lotus appears and disappears.
As time itself shifted, countless gazes descended from the heavens, awakening from their slumber. Only after sensing the subtle changes in the layers of chaotic spacetime did they realize what had happened.
The Supreme God of Heaven has returned!
He did not perish completely, and returned before all the other shores?!
Most gazes, filled with malice, were directed towards the Netherworld.
"I'm going to kill you all." Meeting the gaze of the ancient being, the Jade Emperor raised his head and let out a bloodthirsty smile from the depths of the netherworld: "Liberation is also transcendence."
