Chapter 852

"Emperor Lord Fengdu." Shi Xuan sighed slightly. He was ultimately a step too slow and failed to escape before Emperor Lord Fengdu's incarnation arrived. However, Shi Xuan did not feel the slightest fear.

Emperor Lord Fengdu's Fourth Tribulation incarnation was much stronger than ordinary pinnacle Fourth Tribulation Great Dao. This was because he had already proven the true meaning of the Postnatal Reincarnation Great Dao. However, Shi Xuan's Taiji Painting was nearly perfected. He could suppress anyone below the half-step Golden Immortal realm.

However, compared to other Lord Of Heaven, a pinnacle Lord Of Heaven who had attained the true meaning of the Great Dao could only be suppressed for a moment or two.

Shi Xuan's thoughts raced. He understood that he had to attack at such a moment. If he wanted to defend, the three pinnacle Lord Of Heaven who had joined forces would be able to break through his Taiji Painting's defense in a short period of time. Furthermore, there was also a Lord Of Heaven who had proven the true meaning of the Postnatal Reincarnation Great Dao.

He had to create an opportunity during the attack to kill the severely injured Celestial Lord Si Shou. Only then could he escape.

Shi Xuan was very confident about this!

The Imperial Emperor of Fengdu did not seem to be in a hurry. He walked over step by step. Behind him, a huge and deep Wheel of Reincarnation that was filled with cracks appeared. Then, a picture scroll that was filled with the aura of destruction, slaughter, doom, and doom appeared behind his head.

When Celestial Lord Si Shou saw Emperor Lord Fengdu's actions, he knew that he was very confident. Hence, he bowed respectfully from afar. "Greetings, Ancestral Master."

"Greetings, Daolord." Celestial Lord Si Gong bowed to Emperor Lord Fengdu from afar.

From their point of view, with the Daolord's incarnation coming in person and being so relaxed and confident, it would be difficult for Shi Xuan to escape no matter how powerful he was. Therefore, as they sealed off Shi Xuan's escape route, they completely ignored Shi Xuan to express their respect for the Daolord.

Shi Xuan didn't know what the Emperor of Fengdu was up to. Why would he ignore a Lord of Heaven at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation? However, the best way was to make him unable to do anything.

The Taiji Painting transformed into a sacred and solemn Paramita Bridge. It encompassed the Three Thousand Great Dao and the Myriad Phenomena of the Universe as it suppressed Emperor Lord Fengdu. Immediately, all the Spirit Qi, laws, space, and time in the vicinity froze.

Even in the Immortal Dimension, the cultivators that were a few tens of millions of kilometers away felt the sun and moon dim while time slowed down. It was like the circulation of the entire Immortal Dimension had stopped abruptly, and it caused them to feel indescribably oppressive and heavy in their hearts.

At the same time, the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword slashed out once again. It cleaved through all obstructions towards Celestial Lord Si Gong. As for the white and dim sword beam, it distorted space-time in an ordinary manner as it slashed towards a spot near Celestial Lord Si Gong.

At the same time, the Five-Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword slashed out again. It slashed at Celestial Lord Si Gong as though it was cutting through all obstacles. As for the white and dim sword beam, it distorted space-time and slashed at a spot not far from Celestial Lord Si Shou.

Furthermore, after experiencing the chaos in his mind and the feeling of his fate being exhausted, Celestial Lord Si Gong once again felt restless and uneasy. He found it difficult to restrain his thoughts as he watched the sword beam slash at him.

Shi Xuan had diverted his attention to controlling the Five-Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword to prevent Celestial Lord Si Gong from rescuing him. Therefore, he did not use his full strength when he slashed at Celestial Lord Si Gong.

Even though Celestial Lord Si Gong was left with less than sixty percent of his strength, a lion would still use its full strength to capture a rabbit. Shi Xuan's actions seemed rather careless.

As expected, Celestial Lord Si Gong quickly suppressed his restlessness and was about to light up the Fortune Stars and Fortune Stars on his shoulders.

However, at this moment, a majestic and vast aura that was terrifying to the extreme, like the direct manifestation of the Great Dao, appeared rapidly from nothingness. It suppressed Celestial Lord Merit and Celestial Lord Longevity, making it difficult for them to think. It suppressed the five-colored sword beam of the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword and the dim white sword beam of the Tripartite Deity Vanquishing Sword, making them freeze in mid-air.

To be able to achieve such a level through aura suppression was definitely not something any Lord Of Heaven could do!

Shi Xuan was very familiar with this abnormally terrifying pressure that froze his mind and made him almost unable to move. In the past, when he was in the Universe Cauldron in the Land of Dharma Ending, Three Night Palace's Ancestral Master Mu Jing had allowed him to experience what it meant to be a high and mighty half-step Golden Immortal!

Emperor Lord Fengdu had actually descended in his true form!

This was Shi Xuan's first time facing a half-step Golden Immortal!

Back in West Wilderness, Shi Xuan had the Immortal Vanquishing Sword Array to rely on. Moreover, he was hiding in the deepest part of West Wilderness' inner layer, close to the core. Even if the four Dao Lords wanted to kill him, they could not enter. But now, a genuine half-step Golden Immortal was within the range of Shi Xuan's immortal senses. There was no external force stopping him.

Space-time, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, the laws of heaven and earth, the cycle of the five elements, and so on, were suppressed by the Taiji diagram. Under this aura, countless cracks of various sizes appeared like mirrors that had fallen onto hard ground.

In just an instant, they all shattered. The Paramita Golden Bridge formed by the Taiji diagram reverted to a black-and-white Yin Yang diagram and flew back, trembling. Emperor Lord Fengdu had only released his aura to break the suppression and slightly damage the Taiji diagram.

With the Taiji diagram damaged, his essence spirit also suffered a slight backlash. With this force, Shi Xuan's mind, which was almost frozen by the aura, loosened a little.

Shi Xuan did not use these thoughts. Instead, he restrained all of them and sank his mind into the darkness.

The thoughts receded and his nature emerged. Inside Shi Xuan's essence spirit, a wisp of Yin and Yang separated, splitting heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Xuan's essence spirit, which did not change on the surface, underwent an earth-shattering change. He recovered from the suppression of the half-step Golden Immortal's aura.

The change just now was inside his essence spirit. With the concealment of Life and Death Daozu, outsiders could not feel the operation of the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light. But under the pressure and attack of a half-step Golden Immortal, Shi Xuan could not guarantee that he would not directly use the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light.

At this time, Shi Xuan did not have the thought of hiding the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light at all. Hiding it in the face of a half-step Golden Immortal would be courting death. As for the threat of Nirvana Daoist, if he could not even pass this hurdle, what was there to worry about?!

The Emperor of Fengdu got rid of the suppression of the Taiji diagram and walked out of the mirror-like broken space and time. He was dressed in a black robe, and his face was covered with a crown. Everything was fluttering without any wind. He was majestic and terrifying, like a supreme emperor who controlled life and death and reincarnation.

The Reincarnation Plate behind him, which was full of cracks, creaked as if it was about to shatter. It began to rotate slowly but rapidly.

The Emperor of Fengdu did not know what hidden means Shi Xuan had. Because the Fortune Destruction Picture was incomplete, it could not prove its true meaning. It was only equivalent to the weakest attack of the Origin of the Great Dao. Therefore, he did not care that the Six Paths of Reincarnation would cause a backlash from the Great Dao of Reincarnation and slowly rotated the Reincarnation Plate with the true meaning of the Great Dao!

As a half-step Golden Immortal, the Emperor of Fengdu never underestimated any enemy. Since he wanted to attack, he would do his best!

Furthermore, it concerned his opportunity to attain the Dao!

Under such circumstances, Celestial Lord Merit and Celestial Lord Longevity were certain that Shi Xuan would not be able to escape. They were also afraid that he would be injured by the aftershocks of the Dao Lord's immortal art. Therefore, they quietly retreated and did not join forces to attack.

"This is a Dao Lord's attack. There's no need for our help. Just the aftershocks alone can kill us completely!"

…

When Shi Xuan recovered, it was the moment the Emperor of Fengdu broke free from the suppression of the Taiji diagram. He saw that Shi Xuan was about to use the Six Paths of Reincarnation immortal art with all his might.

In the face of this, Shi Xuan did not hesitate and decisively slashed out with his sword. His body and sword became one!

At that moment, any wrong step would mean certain death.

At that moment, Shi Xuan's Dao heart was like a mirror, reflecting everything that had happened.

"The Emperor of Fengdu descended as an incarnation of the Four Tribulations before transforming into a half-step Golden Immortal. He did not descend directly with his true body. This means that he did not break through the restraints of the Nine Nether. Instead, he used a mystic technique to temporarily deceive the barrier of the Nine Nether. Such a mystic technique will definitely not be able to last long! "

"Only by attacking and making him choose to defend can I have a chance of holding on. Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand the attack of a half-step Golden Immortal at all when my Yin-Yang Chaos Divine Light has yet to cross realms!"

The four-colored sword beam that was almost chaotic lit up. The destructive aura converged, and the power of destruction that led to the end of all living things fused with the sword beam that had condensed into one.

A pearl with the aura of time and destiny shattered and fused with the sword beam.

Shi Xuan's Essence Spirit fused with the sword beam. The aura of time and destiny naturally fused with Shi Xuan's Essence Spirit's senses.

Amidst a mysterious feeling of emptiness, the opening of the void that Shi Xuan had been visualizing all this while appeared in front of his primordial spirit.

A point of nothingness was born. Time and space were not separated. It was formless and intangible. There were no gods or objects. The Five Grand Cosmos evolved in sequence. Chaos opened up, and Yin and Yang split … All of this was the same as what Shi Xuan usually visualized.

But as time passed, the universe was completely born. The Major Chiliocosm appeared, and all living things appeared. They each had their own destiny. Some were prosperous, some were ruined, and some were not the same. The power of destiny ruled over everything.

Time passed quickly. The universe gradually reached the edge of its end. Many Major Chiliocosms were destroyed, and countless living things died. Regardless of whether one was a high and mighty emperor or a lowly and weak person, there was only one fate — to reach the end of the road and completely cease to exist.

With a boom, the universe was destroyed and returned to nothingness. Even the Void Universe had a day when its destiny was exhausted and it could not be redeemed!

Shi Xuan gradually understood. "From birth to death, from creation to destruction, be it the Void Universe or all living things in it, be it the ruler of destiny or the favored child of destiny, they will gradually decline and reach the end of the road with the passage of time. This is destiny and cannot be changed. The so-called destruction of destiny represents the true meaning of the Great Dao that has never changed since ancient times."

"Therefore, destruction of destiny restrains destiny, but it is restrained by nirvana, the Great Dao that creates something out of nothing and rejuvenates after death. It is restrained by life and death, the Great Dao that represents the orthodox path of transcendence in this universe. Eternity can break free from destiny, and eternity is transcendence!"

The condensed four-colored sword beam that was close to chaos gradually changed. It did not slash at the Emperor of Fengdu. Instead, it slashed at the River of Time that had suddenly appeared in front of the Emperor.

In the River of Time, the Emperor of Fengdu's figure appeared. Some were looking back at the past and were blurry. Some were in the present and were terrifying and majestic. Some were in the future and were uncertain.

As the sword beam slashed down, the past seemed to be destroyed and the future seemed to be doomed.

One sword to kill three lifetimes! The past, the present, and the future!

The Emperor of Fengdu was slightly surprised. "This is a sword that combines time, innate destiny, and destruction of destiny. How can Shi Xuan slash out such a mysterious sword?"

The Emperor of Fengdu in the past was not powerful, and he only wanted to control the changes in the future. Moreover, it was the Emperor of Fengdu who sent down his will and injured the Ruling Star Lord. After sensing the aura of Shi Xuan's two flying swords at the first level of the Nine Nether, he collected information about Shi Xuan and knew that he knew the "Universe Stars Swordsmanship". He expected that he would come to the Big Dipper World one day. Therefore, the secret that was originally not a big deal even if it was exposed angered the Emperor of Fengdu, and he killed the Ruling Star Lord directly.

However, he suffered a small loss under the "Three Lives Water Mirror" magic technique, which allowed the Ruling Star Lord to escape successfully.

Although he only sent down his will, and his strength was between the peak of the fourth tribulation and a half-step Golden Immortal, he still remembered being injured by the Lord Of Heaven, who was a fourth tribulation.

Therefore, out of caution, he pointed his finger. The Six Paths of Reincarnation, which was originally aimed at Shi Xuan, was aimed at the River of Time.

The River of Time twisted and instantly turned into a river in the mortal world. If Shi Xuan's sword beam touched it, it would also return to the mortal world.

The Mortal Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

However, Shi Xuan seemed to be prepared. The sword beam suddenly dispersed, and a small red gourd jumped out. A strange White Light flew out from the mouth of the gourd, and inside it was a strange thing with eyebrows and eyes. It was surrounded by Green Lotuses of Massacre. The moment it appeared, heaven and earth darkened, and the aura of a half-step Golden Immortal solidified.

After more than two thousand years of recovery, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife had finally recovered completely. This mouthful of Innate Massacre Qi, which combined with its own cultivation method and Spiritual Restriction, was the strongest move that Shi Xuan had prepared.

Fortunately, he did not have time to use it to kill Celestial Lord Si Shou.

As for the One Sword Slaying Three Lifetimes, it was just relying on the bead's aura of time and fate. Even if he obtained the Innate Luck Extermination Great Dao, how could Shi Xuan, who was only at the ninth level of the Four Symbols World Annihilation Sword and the One Sword Destroying All Techniques that he had yet to master, do anything to a half-step Golden Immortal like the Emperor of Fengdu? It was just a bluff to cover up his true purpose!

Of course, for this sword, Shi Xuan had also devoted all his attention and did not use any external objects. Otherwise, he would not have been able to slash out such a sword.

The only thing that surprised Shi Xuan was that in this sword, under such strong pressure, he actually had a preliminary understanding of the Innate Luck Extermination Great Dao. The bead seemed to be prepared for his understanding. It was too harmonious!

…

Within the White Light, the object shot out two beams of light from its eyes. They were ethereal and directly passed through the layers of space-time naturally created by the Emperor of Fengdu's half-step Golden Immortal aura. It was about to land on the Emperor of Fengdu, who was caught off guard and was about to suffer the backlash of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

The Emperor of Fengdu's Reincarnation Plate was half-crippled and could not emit the Dao fruit's light to protect his body. Only the Luck Extermination Picture, which was boiling and tumbling behind his head as though it was about to condense into an extremely terrifying thing, emitted boundless dark light to protect his Essence Spirit.

This boundless dark light seemed to be destroying everything, but also seemed to be dissipating all techniques. It was both killing everything and destined to end everything.

Before the Emperor of Fengdu attacked again, the two beams of light landed slowly, as though they were not limited by the space-time distance. Suddenly, the dark light froze, and the Emperor of Fengdu's Essence Spirit felt like it was frozen. It became very difficult for him to operate the Reincarnation Plate and Luck Extermination Picture.

This Innate Slaughter Qi was not just pure Slaughter Qi. It was born from the same root and had always been nourished in the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber. It was integrated with the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber's own cultivation technique and the effect of the Spirit Seal. It was an attack of the Great Dao that could be controlled. Otherwise, why would the Emperor of Fengdu be afraid of a pure Innate Slaughter Qi?! It was not that he had not tracked Shi Xuan in the deepest layer of West Wilderness back then!

The spirit restriction of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber itself was a spirit restriction formed by the Connate Slaughter Dao Seed that had yet to be fully evolved. It was related to the operation and true meaning of the Connate Slaughter Great Dao. Therefore, when the two beams of light landed on the protective light, the Imperial Lord of Fengdu felt that his primordial spirit, immortal technique, natal numinous treasure, and Dao fruit and auspicious cloud were stunned.

The White Light on the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber rotated gently. The Emperor of Fengdu's protective dark light seemed to be circled by an extremely sharp flying sword. The light spots scattered, and it looked like it was about to be cut in half.

If the protective light was broken, the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber's Innate Slaughter Qi would directly hit his Essence Spirit. It was very likely that the Emperor of Fengdu would die completely.

This was the Innate Slaughter Dao. Among the 3,000 Great Dao, it was the Great Dao that could easily kill a half-step Golden Immortal when one's cultivation had not reached its peak!

Suddenly, a cold snort sounded. The Emperor of Fengdu's eyes emitted a foot-long beam of light. A book suddenly appeared in the center of the Reincarnation Plate behind him. The cover was a simple, deep, mysterious, and vast door-shaped pattern. The aura of life and death spread out, turning into endless black and white light that wrapped around him.

It was the Emperor of Fengdu's Natal Numinous Treasure, a replica of the Book of Life and Death!

With the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal, the Emperor of Fengdu had forcibly broken free from the shock of the Innate Slaughter Will at the critical moment!

He knew that Shi Xuan had a Four Tribulations Killing Treasure and knew that the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber was special. However, he did not deduce how special the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber was. Even Lady Yu did not know.

It was a pity that the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber was not a half-step Golden Immortal Supreme Numinous Treasure. Otherwise, how could the Emperor of Fengdu, a half-crippled Dao Lord who was at the bottom of the half-step Golden Immortals, break free from this unexpected attack!

At this moment, more than an instant had passed since the Emperor of Fengdu executed his secret technique. There was very little time left for him.

The Emperor of Fengdu did not panic. He believed that with his half-step Golden Immortal strength, he could take down Shi Xuan in this short period of time.

He pointed his finger at Shi Xuan and the Reincarnation Plate behind him slowly rotated. In an instant, the Mortal Dao rotated to the top. A scene of the mortal world and love appeared in the surroundings. It seemed real yet illusory.

"Enter the Reincarnation …"

Before the Six Paths of Reincarnation was fully executed, the Emperor of Fengdu saw a smile on Shi Xuan's face. A purple lightning exploded from his body and wrapped around him. The aura of a half-step Golden Immortal was released. He was about to break through the spatial barrier and teleport away.

The Spacetime Waymark Gate that was reinforced by a half-step Golden Immortal!

When Si Gong and the rest used the Rank 9 secret treasures bestowed by the three Nine Nether Monarchs to transform the spatial barrier of the Immortal World into the barrier of the Nine Nether, due to the unique relationship between the two sides of the Great Chiliocosm, the Spacetime Waymark of the Immortal World was also transformed into the Spacetime Waymark of the Nine Nether. In other words, there was no Spacetime Waymark.

However, Shi Xuan had once used the Virtue of Yin to teleport back to the Seven Immortals Great World from the Nine Nether Monarchs. Therefore, after the barrier was transformed into the Nine Nether Monarch's barrier, Shi Xuan could vaguely sense the Spacetime Waymark of the Seven Immortals Great World. In addition to the Virtue of Yin that was left in the Seven Immortals Great World, there was no need for him to break through the barrier and escape the turbulence of time to activate the Spacetime Waymark Gate.

The various actions that Shi Xuan made when he was fighting with Si Gong and the other two Star Monarchs, as well as the overall plan against the Emperor of Fengdu, were all for this purpose. He wanted to buy himself the time to activate the Spacetime Waymark Gate!

This barrier was only reinforced by three Rank Nine Secret Treasures. How could it withstand the power of the Spacetime Waymark Gate reinforced by a half-step Golden Immortal!

Therefore, when he saw that the Immortal Flying Knife's Innate Killing Qi had frozen the Emperor of Fengdu, Shi Xuan did not hesitate at all. He did not expect to be able to kill the Emperor of Fengdu here and obtain the last step of the sacrificial refining method of the Doom Destruction Catalog. He directly activated the Spacetime Waymark Gate reinforced by Lady Yu.

The Emperor of Fengdu wanted to divert his attention to freeze the spacetime and the barrier, but it was too late. He could only watch the purple thunderbolt hit the barrier of the Immortal Realm.

…

In a Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, a skinny Buddha with a bitter expression was originally sitting in front of the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, watching the lotus in the pond slowly bloom.

He suddenly turned his head slightly and saw the Northern Dipper Immortal Realm through the layers of void, the Boundless World, and the turbulence of spacetime. It was the moment when the Immortal Flying Knife froze the Emperor of Fengdu and Shi Xuan started to activate the Spacetime Waymark Gate. Then, he chanted the name of Buddha, "Namo Ananda."

Along with this name of Buddha, the expression of Emperor Jiuzang, who was half in the seventh level of the Nine Underworlds and half in the Northern Dipper Immortal Realm, became a little solemn. The Lotus Platform of Merit and Virtue beneath him suddenly emitted a boundless golden light.

Stimulated by the golden light, golden lotuses appeared in the barrier of the Immortal Realm. They were ever-changing and actually formed the Hidden Vajra Embryo Formation of Two Realms!

The Rank Nine Secret Treasure used by the Sigong Star Lord was an extremely special Rank Nine Secret Treasure. It could borrow a little power from the half-step Golden Immortal who refined it.

The purple thunderbolt that wrapped around Shi Xuan hit the barrier of the Immortal Realm, causing golden light to blossom and the lotus to wither. However, it was unable to break the barrier and escape. Instead, it was bounced back.

"I didn't expect Emperor Jiuzang to not be afraid of revenge for bullying the weak. He has finally made a move personally!"

This thought appeared in the minds of the Emperor of Fengdu and Shi Xuan at the same time. However, the former was pleasantly surprised, while the latter was shocked.

"You shall enter Samsara and become a mortal!"

The Emperor of Fengdu's Six Paths of Reincarnation was finally fully executed. The aura on Shi Xuan's body changed, and he was about to reincarnate into a mortal without magic power.

With life and death hanging by a thread, Shi Xuan instantly suppressed his shock. Then, without any hesitation, he was about to unleash the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light. He wanted to use the Yin Yang True Meaning of the Great Dao that could break through everything to break the reincarnation effect and hold on until the Emperor of Fengdu's mystic technique ended!

However, at this moment, Shi Xuan discovered that his aura, which had fallen into the cycle of reincarnation, was suddenly released. An unchanging, otherworldly, omnipresent and untouchable aura appeared above his head.

Facing it, Shi Xuan had a feeling of worship and being unable to resist. It was as if he was facing the mysterious Great Dao.

"This is the feeling that Daozu gives people."

As soon as this thought appeared, Shi Xuan realized that the world had turned completely dark. It was as if an invisible and heavy power was covering the world!

Layers of space-time disappeared, and his immortal senses could not extend out of his body. Shi Xuan felt as if he was isolated to the void before the universe was created.
