Chapter 59: The Sole and Supreme Sacred Emperor (Part 2)
The strange man, radiating a red glow all over his body, had just walked out of the hiding tree hole, and the temperature immediately began to rise sharply. In just a few seconds, the surrounding environment became as dry as if it were in the Sahara Desert, and even the air breathed into the lungs was scorching hot, making people feel extremely uncomfortable. Yang Zhao suddenly realized that he had finally understood why there was no growth within a hundred meters of the Bodhi tree's body. But with such high heat, why did the Bodhi tree itself not wither and burn, but instead remained evergreen and thriving all year round? This was again puzzling.
Before Little Wang could think of a plan, the figure had already jumped down from the tree. Although they were quite far apart and couldn't see each other's face clearly, both of them could sense that this person was just like Tang Xi Du, who Yang Zhao had fought in Chengdu City's Jin Guan Building, with only one arm and one leg left. The demonic dragon lay on the ground, softly growling and presenting its master with a piece of meat it had brought back. The man praised, "Good little black," stroking the demonic dragon's head like a pet, then tore off a piece of bloody meat and grasped it in his palm. Suddenly, the smell of roasted meat wafted through the air with a soft "sizzling" sound, and in an instant, he had used his yang fire true energy to cook the meat thoroughly. He tilted his head back and began to chew with his mouth open.
In an instant, the two people hiding behind the tree and secretly watching simultaneously turned their heads to look at each other subconsciously, with a chill in their hearts.
It's easy to use yang fire true energy to kill people, harm enemies or cause destruction. Anyone who has practiced martial arts for a few years can do it, the difference is only in the strength of the power. But controlling small fires is easy, while controlling large fires is extremely difficult. This person's body glows with red light, and just by walking a few steps, they can evaporate the water vapor in the air and change the environment. Obviously, the true energy inner strength has reached an astonishing level, far surpassing the limits of ordinary people. Even Mohe Ye is no match for him. The strange person tears apart beast meat with ease, not only effortlessly lifting heavy weights but also having spare energy to do so. This means that he must have mastered the control of his internal energy to a state of perfect harmony and flexibility, allowing him to move freely without breaking any rules, reaching the "entering subtlety" realm. Among the top masters of this world, there is only one who possesses such incredible abilities, yet has only one arm and one leg, and also keeps a black dragon as a pet mount...
"Yao Alliance, 9,000 years old!" In an instant, Yang Shuang and Fan Qinghui's mouths were wide open, silently uttering the same five words. Their faces suddenly changed dramatically, their bodies chilled to the bone, even their breathing and blood had been completely frozen by fear.
A hundred years ago, at almost the same time as the founding of the Tianzong sect by Xiao Cangsheng, there was another extraordinary person in the martial arts world. Due to a combination of circumstances, he obtained two extraordinary treasures: the demonic soldier "Xie Huang" and the "Wu Zi Zhen Jing", which is said to be the source of all martial arts for eternity. With the demonic soldier and the martial arts skills gained from the "Wu Zi Zhen Jing", this extraordinary person roamed the world, almost invincible. In his later years, he even established a super-large gang that was not inferior to the "Xie Dao Alliance" and the "Tian Di Alliance" of the past, dominating the dark way and ruling over a region, making people tremble with fear at the mere mention of its name. This extraordinary person's ambition was ignited, and he named his organization the "Shengmeng". The orthodox martial artists in the Jianghu world hated him to the bone, but they all referred to it as the "Yao Alliance".
The demon alliance was passed down to the second generation, and the leader "Ta Sui" had martial arts skills and ambition that were far inferior to his father. Not only was he overly ambitious and lacking in talent, but he also indulged in wine and women, with hundreds of concubines in his harem. Among them, a favorite concubine named Yun Chen had an affair with Lei Jiang, one of the four great divine generals of the demon alliance. The two decided to leave the demon alliance and be together, but they were worried that if they were discovered, they would not be able to protect themselves. So they steeled themselves and snuck into a secret room, stealing Ta Sui's collection of "The Wordless True Classic". They then fled far away, hoping that one day they would achieve success in their cultivation and no longer have to hide. Unfortunately, before they could even complete their training, Ta Sui led the remaining three divine generals - Feng, Yu, and Dian - to kill them.
In the heat of battle, the couple was defeated. In desperation, Yun Chen threw the first volume of the "Wordless True Classic" to a distant place. Tai Sui rushed to retrieve the secret book, allowing Lei Jiang and Yun Chen to escape in the chaos. However, Lei Jiang was seriously injured and soon died. Yun Chen fled to the Western Regions, where she adopted an orphan with exceptional talent and renamed him Wu, after Lei Jiang's surname. She not only taught him martial arts but also passed on the second volume of the "Wordless True Classic" to him, which contained her own insights.
Years later, Yun Chen was killed by a powerful demon at his doorstep, and he couldn't escape his fate. The young man with the surname Wu turned his sorrow into strength and gained insight from the "Ultimate Chapter" of the "Wordless True Classic", cultivating the unparalleled martial art of "Sacred Scripture Divine Mirror". He named himself Wu Shentong and decided to avenge his adoptive parents, returning to the Central Plains to wreak havoc and stir up a bloody storm. Soon after, for the sake of the young lady Yingfeng of Luliu Country in the north, Wu Shentong again made an unrelenting vendetta with the son of Taisheng, the new leader of the Demon Alliance, "Shengdi". The two were entangled and ultimately fought to a mutual defeat.
The Holy Emperor was blinded by the Wu Shen Tong's trick and became a madman due to mistakenly practicing the inverted and chaotic "Ultimate Chapter" scripture, disappearing without a trace. The Demon Alliance had no leader, so they elected the Holy Emperor's nephew to temporarily take over as a proxy. The new alliance master called himself Jiucheng Sui, indicating his impartiality and unwillingness to usurp the throne for long.
At the age of 9,000, he had exceptional talent and great potential. The demonic alliance in his hands was developed to an unprecedented prosperity and strength. Even with only the first volume of the "Wordless True Classic" - "Yuanshi Chapter", he could cultivate the "Qianyang Gong" to the ninth level. Later, in the struggle against Tianjing's successor, Haojie, he successfully achieved the impossible feat of cultivating both Qianyang and Kunyue dual skills, achieving unprecedented success. This was not all, as Jiucheng also opened his heart's eye due to his blindness, grasping the true meaning of the second volume - "Terminal Chapter". He finally cultivated the "Cosmic Qi" that shook the universe, allowing him to control the life and death cycles of all things within a radius of 10 square meters. His power was strong enough to rival that of the gods.
Just at this time, Yan Emperor was reborn through the reversal of space-time due to the fusion of yin and yang, and he decided to claim the throne. Jiuchangsheng, who had been confident in his invincibility for 9,000 years, went to challenge Yan Emperor. However, he did not expect that Yan Emperor's divine weapon could also control the cosmic energy, and his greatest trump card was neutralized by the opponent, losing his advantage. Relying solely on his own strength, he was naturally no match for Yan Emperor, so he was defeated on the spot and had to humbly accept being the second in the world.
The Flame Emperor, although dominating the world, still had one last and greatest obstacle to becoming the emperor: the Heavenly Crystal. To eliminate this obstacle, the Flame Emperor sought out the successor of the Heavenly Crystal, Hao Jie, and agreed to meet at Mount Emei's Golden Summit for a decisive battle. In this battle, the Flame Emperor initially held the upper hand, but unfortunately, his overconfidence led to his downfall, and he was defeated by the perfect power of the Heavenly Crystal due to offending the taboo of solar eclipse. His divine soul returned to the era when he competed with the Yellow Emperor for the throne, repeating past mistakes, and his physical body was destroyed once again, transforming into a phoenix that dove into the depths of the Western Fire Mountain. However, before his return, the Flame Emperor's Yang Fire divine power was seized by Jiuzhong Sui, who used the "Spirit Absorbing Technique" to take away more than 80% of it.
At the age of 9,000, he had already become invincible in the world. At this time, he obtained the divine power of Emperor Yan and became even more powerful, like a tiger adding wings, and his strength increased to another level. After successfully absorbing and digesting it, he rushed into the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui, intending to assassinate Yang Jian and Yang Guang and establish himself as emperor. However, his plan was thwarted again under the Tianjing. The heroes did not hesitate to use their divine soldiers' ultimate killing move, releasing a superpower like a nuclear explosion. Although the 9,000-year-old was invincible in the world at that time, he was still no match for the heavenly crystal sword of Nüwa Niangniang. He was blown to pieces on the spot, and his hands and feet were crippled, then taken away by his loyal pet demon dragon, Hei Ba Wang, and disappeared without a trace. For more than a decade, people had not discovered his whereabouts, and everyone thought that the 9,000-year-old was already dead. Even the name of this once-famous person was gradually forgotten.
Man Qinghui, as the successor of the Wulin sacred land Ci Hang Jing Zhai, naturally knew all about the above. And Yang Zhao was a traverser, relying on his memory before crossing, he also knew this old story like the back of his hand. Seeing the demon dragon in front of him with a black aura all over its body, who else could it be but Hei Ba Wang? And as the master of Hei Ba Wang, having cut off one arm and one leg, and emitting intense yang fire divine energy all over its body, apart from Jiucheng Sui, the unparalleled hero of that year, it was impossible to find a second unmatched expert who could simultaneously meet so many characteristics.
At the age of 9,000, he has cultivated to a state that shocks heaven and earth, and makes ghosts and gods weep. Although he hasn't founded his own sect or opened up new paths in martial arts, purely in terms of strength, he can be considered invincible in this world. Even though he was once defeated by Tianjing, it wasn't due to any fault of his own. To know that Tianjing's divine sword could even annihilate the primordial ancestor, Tianmo, with a single release of all spiritual energy, an extinction-level massive explosion, is enough to rival modern strategic nuclear explosions. The fact that Jiuchangsheng was able to survive such an explosion without dying means he has already surpassed countless gods and demons who have died under Tianjing's sword throughout the ages.
Generations of Ci Hang Jing Zhai's successors have practiced the "Ci Hang Jian Dian", one of the four great strange books. Legend has it that when they reach the highest level, they can even transcend the limitations of their mortal bodies, attain enlightenment and become immortals or Buddhas. However, Fan Qinghui hasn't even mastered the fifth move of the Sword Heart Technique, let alone achieved the state of breaking through the void. Moreover, she suffered severe damage to her dantian in the past, losing all her lifelong cultivation. Although she later received help from the Yin Yang Command to repair her injuries and absorbed the true inner elixir of the Ice Qilin as compensation, after weighing everything, her power not only didn't increase but actually decreased compared to before, making it a loss.
Yang Zhao was originally practicing the "Mysterious Mirror of the Book of Changes". This classic is a comprehensive work by Zhuo Bu Fan, a descendant of Gui Gu's lineage, who compiled all his life experiences and extraordinary skills in his later years. It was then refined and evolved through the heart method of Gui Gu and the learning of the Book of Changes, making it a very orthodox and proper martial art. Young Master Wang had been practicing for quite some time, and with gradual progress, he could already use the Bagua Palm with ease. The four images of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning had also achieved three images; with the help of the divine soldier Yin Yang order, he was also beginning to see results in manipulating the two instruments.
Apart from this, Young Master Wang also learned the external family kung fu of the Seven Styles Ice Fire Mantis Fist and the first layer of the Dark Heaven's Seven Layers created by the Dark Heaven Dharma. Excluding the factor of divine weapons, in terms of overall strength, even if he is not as good as the masters such as Moha Ye, the head of the Extreme Joy Sect, Chao Yang Tian Shi, the head of the Orthodox One Way, Bi Xuan, the Turkic Martial Arts Master, Fu Cai Lin, the Gojoseon Chess Sword Master, Ning Dao Qi, the wandering immortal, and the eight great masters of the Demon Gate who are at the top of the Jianghu pyramid, he can at least compete with any of the four major sect leaders of the current dynasty, except for "Tian Dao" Song Que, without falling behind. If Yang Zhao were to venture into the Jianghu alone, building a school and dominating an area would be absolutely no problem.
However, whether it's Yang Zhao or Fan Qinghui, or even the two joining forces, they are still in an absolute weak position in front of the invincible Jiu Qian Sui. The comparison of strength between the two sides is just like that of a strong and healthy adult and a primary school student who has just started school, with almost no comparability at all.
The plan to capture the Black Tyrant and use its power to escape from the Heavenly Pit had completely fallen through. At this moment, Yang Zhao's mind was racing with the names of all the deities he knew, from the Buddha to the Jade Emperor, Jesus Christ, Allah, and all the other gods in heaven, hoping that the ominous star opposite him would focus on eating and not notice the two uninvited guests by his side. He immediately activated his internal energy, carefully concealing his aura without letting out even a hint of his presence. Then, he pulled up Fan Qinghui and stealthily took a step back.
Under the Bodhi tree more than 100 meters away, that strange man with a red glow all over his body and only one arm and one leg seemed to be unaware of anything, just tearing at the beast meat and devouring it. Yang Zhao felt slightly relieved, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, still retreating half-step by half-step, until he walked out more than 5 or 6 meters away. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, Fan Qinghui suddenly exclaimed "Ah~" and said: "What is it..." Before she could finish speaking, Yang Zhao also realized that something seemed to have bitten his leg. Looking down, they saw that it was a half-meter-high egg thief lizard, calling "Chirp~ Chirp~" and jumping around, looking rather cute. However, the two of them couldn't help but change their expressions slightly at the same time.
The egg thief looks cute and interesting, but in fact it is no different from a locust. Not only are they greedy, but they often gather in groups, and almost everything dares to provoke them. If it were normal times, Yang Zhao would not be afraid of them either. But at this time, being in danger, if these little things startled the Black Overlord and Jiuchangsheng, it would really be over.
Young Master Wang was greatly alarmed, and without hesitation, he reached out with his arm to grab the egg thief. Before it could struggle or cry out, his thumb and index finger were already clamped on its long neck, exerting force to squeeze. Fang Qinghui's expression changed again, and she said in a low voice, "No!" She tried to stop him, but it was too late. A faint sound of "crack" could be heard, the egg thief's neck bone snapped, and it didn't even have time to let out half a cry before it died on the spot. At the same time, the Black Tyrant King under the Bodhi tree in the distance suddenly raised its head and let out a loud roar. The Red Light Monster stopped eating its meat and shouted, "Who's there?"
Occasionally apologize, but continue to ask everyone for votes
Sorry, kitty. Today, it seemed like they were digging for electric wires or something downstairs at home, so there was no internet signal all day and I couldn't log in. So after dinner at 12, I went out wandering around until now when I finally got back home. Luckily, I made it just in time, otherwise my full attendance award would have been gone again, kitty...
