Free Web NovelChapter 487: Chapter 105: Super Substitute Goes Online, Profound Yellow Slays a Daluo
"Lady..."
Houtu held up a hand, gazing at Lu Xuan. "Let me ask you, since your fate is intertwined with Supreme Profound Clarity—you prosper and perish together—what do you intend to do now?"
Lu Xuan’s expression turned serious, then he grinned. "Isn’t this perfect? I wasn’t sure before, but now I’m certain. We are two separate bodies, but our lives are bound together. If I can devour him, I will surely be made whole!"
"That is indeed a possibility."
Houtu said with a smile, "However, I’m still not entirely at ease. So this time, allow me."
Lu Xuan froze, a terrible sense of foreboding washing over him. He asked, "Lady, what do you mean?"
The next instant, he felt the wisp of Reincarnation Origin fused with his soul tremble. A mysterious and profound power surged out from it, enveloping him!
Immediately after, his control over his body... was completely gone!
Lady Houtu and Profound Yellow spoke at the exact same time, their voices in perfect unison: "I will control your body, devour Supreme Profound Clarity for you, help you achieve Perfection, and merge you into one!"
"As compensation..."
Houtu tore off another piece of Six Paths True Intent and Reincarnation Origin—ten times the previous amount—and with a light push, sent it floating into Lu Xuan’s body.
His Reincarnation Origin skyrocketed, and Lu Xuan’s power surged. But at the same time, Houtu’s control over him deepened; even his train of thought seemed to grow rigid!
"Hmm?"
Houtu frowned. "Why can’t I enter your mental world? Is there a Supreme Treasure suppressing it from within? Interesting..."
Shaking her head, she used Mediation of Creation to manifest Infinite Innate Material. Then, controlling Lu Xuan’s body once more, she began pioneering one Acupoint Grotto Heaven after another, transforming them into complete Innate Worlds!
An unknown amount of time passed. Within Lu Xuan’s Physique, all three hundred and sixty-five Acupoints had become Innate Worlds, to the point that his physical shell could no longer contain such terrifying power and began to show signs of collapse!
"Might as well see this good deed through to the end."
Houtu said with a smile, "After I’ve helped you so much, you’ll have no reason to resent me, right? I’m doing this for your own good, you know..."
With another thought, she used Lu Xuan’s body to suppress the boundless power, then she noted with some surprise, "You actually pioneered all five Acupoints for Form, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch? And your Form Acupoint has even reached Perfection? No wonder the Divine Thought you manifest is so dense..."
Houtu exclaimed in amazement, "Your foundation is frighteningly solid... Shangqing certainly found a good disciple. I’m almost tempted myself!"
At first, Lu Xuan was filled with shock and anger, but his feelings soon grew extremely complicated. This Lady Houtu had turned on him in an instant; she had probably been wary of him all along. But he couldn’t say whether this was a good or a bad thing, because after all...
Although he had lost control of his body, he could still sense the immense and terrifying power welling up inside it.
’Three hundred and sixty-five Innate Worlds... If I had to pioneer them one by one, who knows how long that would have taken!’
’What a good person...’
A satisfied smile touched Houtu’s lips as she said, "With me in control, I will surely devour Supreme Profound Clarity for you, help you two become one, and allow you to achieve the ultimate apotheosis!"
"And there’s no need to thank me."
Lu Xuan’s face remained expressionless as he frantically tried to send a message with his Divine Thought: "Lady, I have no objection to this, but right now, Lu Ya is the Celestial Emperor, sitting on his throne in the Celestial Court. If I go out, I’m afraid..."
Houtu just smiled, manipulating Lu Xuan’s body to answer for her: "Lu Ya? He’s still in Chaos, being hunted by Sakyamuni Buddha and Shangqing Spirit Treasure. He’s in a pathetic state, how could he possibly bother with you? Besides, if he really dares to show up, I’ll put him down myself!"
Understanding dawned on Lu Xuan. He resonated his Divine Thought again to reply, "In that case, I have no more worries. Please, Lady Houtu, help me devour Supreme Profound Clarity!"
Houtu was slightly surprised. ’This little guy... could he really have nothing up his sleeve? Did he actually just tell me the truth?’
Her mind raced for a moment, but she didn’t dwell on it. No matter what this Profound Yellow was really like, she was in control of everything now.
With that thought, Houtu’s mind controlled Lu Xuan, revealing his True Fighting Form. Holding the Biyou Palace, the Heaven-Reaching Fishing Drum, and the Gloomy Lamp, he slowly walked towards the Human World.
She manipulated Lu Xuan to speak: "By the way, I have already sent the ten thousand immortals of Biyou Palace into Reincarnation for you. They will be able to return in ten thousand years at most. No need to thank me."
Lu Xuan’s Divine Thought resonated in response: "Thank you, Lady."
His thoughts seemed sincere, as if he truly held no ulterior motives.
.........
「Celestial Court.」
Thousand-Mile Eye yawned. Gazing out at the peaceful Thirty-Three Celestial Realms, he remarked, "Where do you think that new emperor went? It’s been fifteen thousand years since he took the throne, and he hasn’t shown his face even once..."
"How would I know?"
Shunfeng Ear scoffed, then sighed. "If you really think about it, the two of us are now among the oldest Immortal Gods in the Celestial Court. The court has seen a total overhaul. Taibai, for instance, is still locked up in the Celestial Prison..."
"Yeah, yeah... Huh??"
A sudden shudder ran through Thousand-Mile Eye. He cried out in alarm, "Pro... Pro..."
"What’s wrong?" Shunfeng Ear asked in surprise. But then he too felt something was wrong—a rumbling sound was rising from the Human World!
Thousand-Mile Eye let out a bloodcurdling scream: "Profound Yellow Emperor!!!"
The cry of alarm echoed throughout the entire Central Celestial Court.
The next instant, the entire Celestial Court was in an uproar!!
"Profound Yellow??"
The Immortal Mother, sitting enthroned in Lingxiao Hall, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked down and saw the three-headed, six-faced, nine-armed ’Profound Yellow Emperor’ striding through the mountains!
"He’s alive??" The Immortal Mother was aghast, but then she came to a realization. "Of course. Profound Yellow achieved the Upper Grade Immortal realm..."
Her brows suddenly furrowed, and she glanced sideways. "What should be done now?"
Beside her, the Eastern King said decisively, "Annihilate him again! His Majesty the Celestial Emperor is currently battling the Supreme Heavenly Venerable in Chaos, so our hands are free. Profound Yellow’s revival can’t be anything good. He’ll likely stir up trouble again. We must destroy him and force him back into oblivion!"
"Agreed."
The Immortal Mother nodded and slowly began to rise, but the Eastern King stopped her.
He smiled. "I’ll go."
As his words fell, the Eastern King stepped out of the Celestial Court and descended into the Human World in a single step.
"PROFOUND! YELLOW!!"
The thunderous voice shook heaven and earth. A Daluo had personally taken action, and killing intent cascaded down like a waterfall!
Although Lu Xuan couldn’t control his body, his senses were still intact. His heart pounded violently, and his sense of crisis skyrocketed!!
’I’m going to die!’
’No, I’m going to die *again*!’
But in the next instant, under Houtu’s control and before the stunned gazes of the countless Immortals and Buddhas in the heavens, the Profound Yellow Emperor raised his eighteen eyes. He stared at the waterfall of killing intent, extended his nine arms, and channeled a boundless Dao Rhyme. The three hundred-plus Innate Worlds in his body rotated, forming an ultimate Killing Skill!
The ultimate Killing Skill shot skyward, shattered the waterfall of killing intent, and transformed into a Great Seal that obliterated the Eastern King in mid-air!
"!!!"
Lu Xuan’s Divine Thought reeled in shock.
The Profound Yellow Emperor channeled a supreme Dao Rhyme, pierced the fabric of spacetime, and gazed upon the River of Time. He then struck into it with the Reincarnation Seal, attacking every single moment, ceaselessly!
With his Immortal body, wielding Dao Fruit-level techniques and Dao Rhyme, he struck at the Eastern King across all of spacetime.
"Ant, how dare you challenge me?" the ’Profound Yellow Emperor’ spoke coldly, as the Daluo’s corpse fell from every segment of time simultaneously.
A Daluo, annihilated.
Lu Xuan’s Divine Thought was completely floored. ’You... you can even fight like that??’
’I can actually kill a Daluo??’
