Free Web NovelChapter 489: Chapter 106: How Dare an Ant Shake the Cyan Celestial Realm? The Immortal Mother Kowtows
Lu Xuan’s True Spirit stared, his eyes wide, and he hurriedly began memorizing the ’Asura Seal’, a glint in his gaze.
’So this is how you control the Innate Infinite Blood Sea...’
As Lu Xuan excitedly committed this wondrous Skill to memory,
with every wave of Immortal Gods the Innate Infinite Blood Sea devoured, more Asura corpses rose from its depths. The sea also funneled the digested essence of the Immortal Gods back to him, causing Lu Xuan’s Physique to surge in power!
Wave after wave of surging tides swept up and annihilated wave after wave of Immortal Gods, until Asura corpses stood packed across the entire sea of blood.
Meanwhile, all sorts of profound patterns appeared on Lu Xuan’s skin. His Physique grew stronger and stronger, reaching a point where its terrifying mass caused the very void around him to collapse and implode inward!
"Your Ladyship is mighty!" Lu Xuan’s True Spirit exclaimed in praise.
At the same time,
beneath the surging tides of the Innate Infinite Blood Sea, the sky-blotting horde of Immortal Gods had been utterly devoured, leaving only some thirty titans from the Celestial Realms standing firm!
"Heavens..." an Ancient Immortal murmured in a daze, utterly stunned by the scene!
The Immortals who had just descended numbered in the millions!
Yet in a mere instant, they had been swept up and annihilated without a trace!
Compelled by an Immortal Edict, these titans of the Celestial Realms, who had only existed for a little over ten thousand years, crashed through the sea of blood and charged forward!
In the Nine Nether, Houtu’s expression grew even more impatient. Controlling Lu Xuan’s body, she formed another Great Seal and declared:
"Six Paths Skill, Celestial Human Seal."
"Six Paths Skill, Beast Seal."
"Six Paths Skill, Hungry Ghost Seal."
"Six Paths..."
The Profound Yellow Emperor extended six arms, each holding a seal, one for each of the Six Paths, and clashed with the thirty-odd titans of the Celestial Realms!
Lu Xuan’s True Spirit was immersed in these supreme Skills, completely mesmerized!
’So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!’
He fell into a state of Dao-enlightenment. By the time he came to his senses, the titans were already bleeding and defeated!
Above the Celestial Vault, the Immortal Mother and the two Emperors, Gouchen and Longevity, arrived. Apprehension was clear on their faces as they immediately unleashed a Killing Skill!
The Profound Yellow Emperor looked up and said indifferently:
"A few mere ants, how dare you try to shake the Cyan Celestial Realm?"
Inside his Spiritual World, Lu Xuan’s True Spirit coughed, a strange expression on his face. ’Houtu is... well, I have no words.’
In the sky, some Ancient Immortals who were not bound by the edict exchanged glances. ’Ants... the Cyan Celestial Realm...’
’Who is the ant, and who is the Cyan Celestial Realm?’
The next instant,
the Profound Yellow Emperor, with an indifferent expression, formed one of the Six Paths Great Seals in each of his six hands, while his remaining three hands combined to form the Six Paths of Reincarnation Seal. He struck!
Gouchen was the first to be struck, a hole punched through his chest. But having learned from the Eastern King’s example, he didn’t let his guard down for a moment. He instantly rewound a portion of Time and was restored to his original state!
The Profound Yellow Emperor frowned.
"A few fireflies, flitting about. How annoying. Out of respect for our past acquaintance, this Emperor has already held back. And still you do not kneel in welcome?"
The Immortal Mother’s eyes were bloodshot as she hissed:
"Profound! Yellow!!"
She tore a river from the stars, forging it into a long spear that she then hurled downward, her killing intent chilling!
The Profound Yellow Emperor shook his head.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot... This Emperor told you to kneel."
His nine arms simultaneously formed a Great Seal. Lu Xuan felt his Physique instantly drained dry, but because he stood upon the Earth, empowered by his status as the Emperor Earth Deity, his Physique was instantly refilled with the power and qi of the land!
In the span of a single breath,
Lu Xuan was stunned to realize that he had been depleted eight hundred ninety times, refilled eight hundred ninety times, broken and rebuilt eight hundred ninety times, and strengthened eight hundred ninety times!
’This Skill...’
Lu Xuan’s True Spirit focused on comprehending it, completely enthralled. Meanwhile, in the outside world,
the Profound Yellow Emperor coldly raised his eighteen eyes and declared:
"Heaven’s Yang, Earth’s Yin, Profound Manifestation of the Six Paths."
As he spoke, the three hundred sixty-five Innate Realms within his body began to glow. Houtu, controlling Lu Xuan’s body, took the opportunity to construct a minor Reincarnation cycle within each of these three hundred-odd realms for him,
which made Lu Xuan feel a little embarrassed about ever intending to defy Houtu...
Simultaneously, the minor Reincarnation cycles within the three hundred-odd realms began to spin in unison, each unleashing a great, rotating millstone. These converged, forming a great tide of Innate Reincarnation that crushed the descending star-river spear and bore down heavily on the Immortal Mother’s head!
"Kneel!"
THOOM!!
The Immortal Mother’s body fractured under the pressure, and she was forced to her knees!
"Profound Yellow!!!" Her eyes were bloodshot, but her heart was filled with utter terror. ’Behind this Profound Yellow Emperor... could Lady Houtu be backing him??’
The Immortal Mother coughed up blood. Gouchen and Longevity, seeing things were going badly, had already quietly withdrawn back to the heavens to watch from afar.
The Profound Yellow Emperor gazed down at the kneeling Immortal Mother, pinned by the great tide of Innate Reincarnation. He exhaled from all twelve of his nostrils at once, and scorching blasts of air struck her in the face.
He spoke coldly:
"You are a Daluo. How can you be so foolish? You look upon this Emperor now as you would the Cyan Celestial Realm. Do you finally understand that you are but a single ant?"
The Immortal Mother tried to raise her head, but the great tide of Innate Reincarnation forced her to bow, pressing her into a prostrate position where it was difficult to even speak!
"If there is a next time, this Emperor will personally seal you in the Nine Nether, where you will kowtow by day and chant this Emperor’s true name by night to atone for your transgressions."
With that, the Profound Yellow Emperor reached out and rapped her hard on the head, sending her head slamming into the ground. Her Daluo blood flowed freely, nourishing the ground and turning it into a patch of immortal soil!
The Immortal Mother was utterly terrified and didn’t dare to speak. In that single strike, she had sensed the threat of true death!
The gathered Immortals and Buddhas watched in silence as the Immortal Mother prostrated herself, bowing before the Profound Yellow Emperor who was stained with Daluo blood. They were speechless for a long, long time.
An Ancient Immortal gazed at the terrifying, receding figure and murmured:
"The heavens have shifted once more."
"And this time, the Profound Yellow Emperor is the new heaven."
As he spoke, he looked down at the ground where the Immortal Mother had kowtowed. It was littered with severed limbs that had rained down from the sea of blood!
The Immortals and Buddhas trembled.
...
「Taishan.」
Old Nong took a sip of his cool tea and smacked his lips.
"How would Xiaoxuan know such exquisite Six Paths techniques and Reincarnation Dharma Seals? Something’s not right..."
Beside him, the Emperor Corpse poured him more tea.
"It’s not Lu Xuan. You may not be aware, sir, but Lu Xuan swallowed the Reincarnation Origin. It must be Houtu controlling his body..."
After a pause, he remarked with a sigh:
"The name Profound Yellow Emperor will be etched into the annals of Ancient History, so deeply that not even the passage of Time can erase it. In the future, when Immortals and Buddhas speak this name, they will do so with trembling hearts!"
Old Nong said with regret:
"A pity it’s just an alias, and not his true name, Profound Clarity."
The Emperor Corpse let out a soft chuckle, a strange look in his eyes. He didn’t dare say more, afraid that a slip of the tongue would earn him the ire of those two.
Suddenly, Old Nong looked up, his gaze turning cold.
"It is time to have Spirit Treasure and Shakyamuni release Lu Ya. Has the time come?"
The Emperor Corpse respectfully lowered his head and said with a smile:
"If we can lure Houtu’s true body out of the Nine Nether, then it will truly be time."
"Very well."
...
THUD! THUD! THUD!
With heavy footsteps, the one-hundred-thousand-zhang-tall Profound Yellow Emperor arrived at the shores of the East Sea.
Here stood a great tomb that reached to the heavens, and atop this mausoleum sat a Daoist.
"Supreme Profound Clarity."
The Profound Yellow Emperor spoke coldly:
"So, you really are alive..."
"To slay you."
In the span of an instant, his mighty Physique was drained and replenished three thousand times as nine fists fell as one.
Atop the mausoleum, Supreme Profound Clarity opened his eyes and lamented softly:
"We spring from the same root; why be so eager to destroy one another?"
The nine Fist Seals landed.
BOOM!!
Supreme Profound Clarity exploded into a firework!
"Insolence!!"
Beyond Chaos, Supreme cleared his throat, straightened his robes, and only then let out a thunderous roar.
He thrust his palm downward, as if to annihilate the Great Heaven and Earth. The Lame Daoist kicked Lu Ya—who had been suffering death by a thousand cuts for fifteen thousand years—back into the Great Heaven and Earth.
Then, brandishing his sword, he boomed:
"Supreme, you have overstepped your bounds! Return to your Douluo Palace!"
The Lame Daoist’s heart swelled with secret delight. ’So this is what it feels like to yell at Supreme...’
His voice grew even louder:
"Supreme, this is a conflict among the younger generation! If you dare to interfere, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!"
"’Show no mercy,’ you say!"
CLANG!!
An Eight Trigrams Furnace came crashing down on his head, leaving the Lame Daoist stunned. A massive lump, one that would not fade for ten thousand calamities, swelled on his forehead, and he wore an expression as if he’d just eaten shit.
’Wait, what? You’re actually serious?!’
Watching Supreme raise the Eight Trigrams Furnace to smash down again and again, the Lame Daoist was both aghast and furious. He retaliated with his sword; the Immortal Slaying Sword Array began to turn, and the might of the Qing Ping Sword pierced the heavens!
And then...
"You dare to fight back?" Supreme roared.
He was beaten even more miserably.
