Free Web NovelChapter 490: Chapter 107: Profound Yellow Strikes the Heavens, the Celestial Court Falls, the Time Has Come
"Houtu... did it!"
Deep within the Chaos, Amitabha Buddha, who held the Western Pure Land in his palm, smiled and nodded.
"The Supreme and Spirit Treasure have begun their battle, a bloody war in the Chaos."
Beside him, the serene-faced Ancient Bodhi Buddha was also smiling.
"This is the first time Spirit Treasure has used the Qing Ping Sword against one of The Three Pristine Ones... Hmm, though he still can’t win. It’s turning into a one-sided affair."
"No matter. At least it proves the Supreme is truly enraged and intends to personally intervene, transitioning from [Non-action] to [Action]. He is about to fall from the level of a [Perfect Dao Fruit] to a [Complete Dao Fruit]!"
The two Great Buddhas, their faces blooming with smiles, quietly watched the bloody battle unfold.
「Meanwhile, in the Nine Nether.」
A smile appeared on Houtu’s face. Standing deep within the Nine Nether, she gazed out at the boundless Chaos beyond the river of Years and chuckled to herself.
’My investment over these long years wasn’t in vain, after all...’
She was just about to withdraw her Divine Thought from Lu Xuan and relinquish control of his body when she heard Lu Xuan’s True Spirit call out to her.
"Lady, I think I saw Lu Ya return to the Celestial Court. He will know of my return. If he moves against me, does what you said before still stand?"
Houtu fell silent for a moment. She was in a good mood and replied with a light chuckle:
"Rest assured. As an Enlightened One who wields the Six Paths and commands Reincarnation, I naturally honor my word. If that Lu Ya moves against you, I will protect you once."
"Then I am relieved."
As his voice fell, Houtu’s Divine Thought withdrew. Lu Xuan regained control of his body, feeling the power within his Physique surge by an incalculable amount. All eighteen of his eyes lit up at once.
All three hundred and forty-four of his Acupoint Grotto Heavens had been pioneered into Innate Worlds, destroyed and rebuilt thousands, even tens of thousands of times.
On top of that was the feedback from the millions of Immortal Gods devoured by the sea of blood...
’I’ve hit the jackpot...’
A smile appeared on all six of Lu Xuan’s faces simultaneously. Generally, even a titan at the peak of the Celestial Realms would only manage to evolve all their Acupoints into complete heavens and earths.
But he was different. While still at the Immortal level, the Acupoints in his body were all Innate Worlds!
In other words, besides being able to draw upon the support of his infinite selves from all the worlds and realms, he had even surpassed an ordinary peak titan on every level!
’Although I can’t use this body to suppress and kill a Daluo like Lady Houtu can.’
’But as long as I stand upon the Earth and have the empowerment of the [Emperor Earth Deity] title, I can unleash my full power with every strike, without fear of exhaustion!’
’Even with me in control of this body... a so-called titan, I can slay with ease!’
As he muttered to himself, Lu Xuan felt a sense of certainty. He sensed an incredibly oppressive gaze from within the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms.
The mere act of being watched made his skin feel like it was being torn apart, giving him the illusion that his Physique was about to collapse.
Celestial Emperor Lu Ya.
Lu Xuan looked up, all six of his faces breaking into a grin. He spoke one word at a time:
"I. Am. Here!"
His eyes widened in fury, all his faces contorting with rage. In one hand he held the Fishing Drum, in another he cradled the Gloomy Lamp, and in a third, he lifted Biyou Palace.
His other six hands, following the flow of Lady Houtu’s Dao Rhyme and Magical Power, moved to form the Six Paths Dharma Seal!
"Hm?"
Deep within the Nine Nether, Houtu, who had been smilingly watching the fierce battle in the Great Chaos, glanced over in astonishment. Her eyes fell upon the towering, three-headed, six-faced figure, and she exclaimed in shock:
’This kind of talent...’
The Six Paths Dharma Seal was one of the fundamental manifestations of the Six Paths. She herself had pondered it for countless years before comprehending it.
Each seal was a pinnacle of Dharma and Dao in the current age. When all six were combined, they formed the Reincarnation Seal, which could even be used in a battle between Dao Fruits!
Yet this Profound Yellow had only observed and comprehended it for such a short time, and he could already crudely use the Six Paths Dharma Seal?
Houtu’s pupils shrank. She suddenly understood why that Shangqing treasured this Profound Yellow so much, even bestowing the Qing Ping Sword upon him!
’This level of comprehension...’
Houtu’s eyes flickered. She seemed to be tempted, feeling the urge to steal him as her disciple. No one understood Profound Yellow’s immense accumulation of power at this moment better than she did.
Moreover, he was an Innate Divine Demon, still in his infancy and not yet fully grown!
Just as a thousand thoughts raced through her mind,
「The Human World.」
"Celestial and Earthly Laws."
Standing on the Earth, Lu Xuan, who was already a hundred thousand zhang tall, began to grow again. A million zhang, ten million zhang...
Until his feet were planted on the Earth and his head touched the Celestial Vault, propping up the heavens themselves!
「Far away, in Luoyang City.」
The New Han Celestial Son walked out of the Imperial Palace. He stared, dumbfounded, at the towering creature in the far distance that held up the sky, and said:
"That is..."
An old man appeared beside him at some unknown time, his expression complex.
"The Profound Yellow Emperor. It’s the Profound Yellow Emperor..."
Liu Xiu whipped his head around and quickly bowed in salute.
"Grand Ancestor!!"
Liu Bang nodded slightly, his eyes burning with a bright light.
"Seeing this display, could it be that the Great Emperor intends to strike the Celestial Vault again? Liu Xiu, quickly issue a decree! Gather the troops, assemble the generals, we must..."
"Grand Ancestor!" Liu Xiu said bitterly. "The New Han has only just been established. How could we have such strength to spare? Since the late Qin Dynasty, we have attacked the heavens three times. The Human Race’s reserves have long been exhausted!"
Liu Bang fell silent.
After a long moment, he sighed softly, a look of desolation on his face.
"Forget it. I will go myself."
"Grand Ancestor!!" Liu Xiu’s face paled in horror. "You cannot do this! You mustn’t..."
"And why not?"
Liu Bang closed his eyes slightly.
"All my old friends died at the hands of the Immortal Gods. I have been alone for countless years..."
He glanced sideways at Liu Xiu.
"You lowered yourself to become a Celestial Son, honoring the heavens as supreme. I don’t blame you for that. But remember this: on the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, created twenty-five thousand years ago, the words originally engraved were ’Mandated by the People’!"
With that, Liu Bang snatched up the long-dulled Chixiao Sword and took a single step into the sky. He looked back, his gaze lingering on Luoyang, lingering on a Human World that seemed both familiar and yet entirely different.
He let out three long laughs, donned his Broken Armor, and, holding his rusted sword, flew toward the towering figure in the far east who stood propping up the heavens!
