Blood-red light descended from the sky, blotting out the sun.
The Emperor's Door that belonged to Di Wuque should have shone brightly, receiving everyone's attention. But at this moment, he was completely submerged in the red light. He couldn't even see his figure clearly. He didn't even know where the Emperor's Door was.
"What's going on? Big Brother Xiao Chen has come back to life?"
Mo Chen, whose eyes were red from crying, felt somewhat excited and expectant. Even her voice trembled.
"The dead can be resurrected? That's impossible, right?"
"That's definitely not it. Something strange must have happened to the Emperor's Road. A dead person is like an extinguished lamp. How could he come back to life? It's impossible. "
The Haotian Sect's people all appeared excited. They cast aside the Deity Dao Union's cultivators and looked in the direction of the bloody Emperor's Road.
Countless blood-colored flower petals fluttered on both sides of the ten thousand steps leading to the Emperor's Road to Heaven. A pure and holy aura flew out from the petals. Faintly, one could even hear some Buddhist scriptures floating along with the petals.
"Udumbara Flower?" Emperor Forsaken frowned and asked in confusion.
The Dongyue Ghost Emperor, who had stopped fighting the Saber and Sword Twin Sovereigns due to the appearance of the bloody light, landed beside Emperor Forsaken and nodded. "It is indeed the petals of the Udumbara Flower. However, according to the records, this Buddhist sacred flower is white. It is a little strange."
"Buddhism's Three Great Sacred Flowers. The Lotus Flower cultivates the Daoist Divine Powers, the Bodhi Tree comprehends the Dao, and the Sage King is born. Can this Udumbara Flower really allow a person to undergo nirvanic rebirth after blooming? "
"There's a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that the Udumbara Flower is an auspicious saying. Once every ten thousand years, a Sacred King would be reborn. The Buddhists regard virtue as sacred, and this flower is for people who have great merit and virtue. Could it be that Xiao Chen is one of them? "
Unexpectedly, Emperor Forsaken's mood did not fluctuate much at this moment.
He mumbled to himself as if he was answering his own question, but at the same time, he seemed to be talking to the Dongyue Ghost Emperor.
At this moment, his emotions were indescribably complicated. Xiao Chen had brought him too many surprises. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was numb. After so much effort, he finally killed this person.
But who would have thought that the Udumbara Flower, one of the Three Holy Masters of Buddhism, would actually be on Xiao Chen, and it seemed like it could really bloom for him.
The Dongyue Ghost Emperor remained silent. At this moment, he felt a little tired.
He had thought that conquering the Haotian Sect was just a small matter. He had never thought that it would cause such a huge commotion. In the end, the situation went out of control, attracting the attention of the entire Kunlun Realm.
The battle with the Saber and Sword Two Kings was even more exhausting, and it consumed a great deal of his mental energy.
Facing two peak Sovereign Martial Emperors who wielded Transcendent Divine Weapons and did not fear death was truly tiring. Even a Prime would feel mentally fatigued.
"Qitian, let's take a look at his Emperor's Road first. Get the Deity Dao Union's people to withdraw. Too many people have died already," the Dongyue Ghost Emperor said.
In the chaotic battle, it was unknown how many experts of the various races had died. A sea of blood covered the entire Astral River City. This was all Emperor Wu's blood, a terrifyingly thick one.
After a long silence, Emperor Forsaken revealed a hesitant expression in his complicated eyes.
"Withdraw, then."
The will of this powerful expert, the strongest existence under the Thunder King, finally wavered. Furthermore, Di Wuque had already advanced to Martial Emperor, and Xiao Chen's situation was still unknown. Indeed, the Deity Dao Union should not have any more casualties.
With the Deity Dao Union's order, all the cultivators of the Deity Dao Union heaved a sigh of relief.
They quickly retreated like the receding tide. In merely a few breaths, they had all retreated far away. The speed of this retreat was very strange. This showed how much pressure this group of people was under.
The strange change this time surpassed all the previous ones, no matter who it was. Even those Primes and Sovereign Martial Emperors felt their heads buzzing.
The legendary flower appeared in reality. The scarlet light it brought actually eclipsed the light of the nine-colored Emperor's Gate.
The neglected Di Wuque felt very depressed at this moment. There was no need to think to know.
However, it did not matter. At this moment, everyone's attention was on the bloody Emperor's Road. No one remembered that there was still someone pushing open the Emperor's Gate.
Suddenly, something strange happened again.
All the drifting flower petals on the bloody Emperor's Road quickly gathered together. They headed for the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame and merged, forming a huge flower bud.
An ancient Buddha image appeared in the sky, forming a hand seal with one hand. Then, a Buddhist light descended and landed on that flower bud.
"Such a wondrous technique. All the Buddhas speak of it when they come. Just like the Udumbara Flower, when a Sage King appears, the Epiphyllum Flower will bloom."
A series of Buddhist scriptures rang out in the sky, reverberating in the air.
With a thought, the flower bloomed. As the scriptures faded, the flower bud quietly bloomed.
There were no words in the world that could describe the beauty of this flower. The flower bloomed for an instant and disappeared in an instant. However, the holy and beautiful appearance of the Udumbara Flower imprinted itself in everyone's mind.
The epiphyllum flower appeared for an instant, its beauty fleeting. This beautiful scene made one sigh, "Youth is fleeting, time fleeting."
Beautiful things were always fleeting. An instant was truly just an instant.
However, the instant this flower bloomed, another scene appeared, immediately filling up the disappointment of the Epiphyllum Flower's destruction in everyone's hearts.
A Buddhist light shone from where the Udumbara Flower was. Within this Buddhist light, a figure wearing the Azure Dragon Battle Armor sat cross-legged.
This figure had delicate features, a cold expression, and calm eyes. Who else could it be but Xiao Chen?
Xiao Chen opened his hand. There was a seed in his palm. This was the seed left behind after the Udumbara Flower died. Xiao Chen's gaze focused on this seed.
After coming back to life, Xiao Chen looked at this divine flower seed with many emotions. He had not expected that the Udumbara Flower would bloom for him.
This holy flower of the Buddhist sect would only bloom for people with great virtue in the Buddhist sect. Xiao Chen was very clear that he would not sleep with people of the Buddhist sect.
The Maheśvara Buddha was the reason why this flower could bloom. As the Sky Dome Immortal Lord in Xiao Chen's previous life, he definitely had some karma with the Maheśvara Buddha.
However, this was not the time to think about this. Completing this Emperor's Road was the most important.
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber and picked up the two rings on the ground. Then, he held them tightly in his hand and looked to the front. The scarlet light filling the sky shrank and condensed. Then, it turned into a piercing and dazzling scarlet light encasing him.
"Whoosh!"
The scarlet light scattered, and everyone saw Di Wuque, who had already completed his Emperor's Road.
Everyone saw four indistinct wheels of light behind Di Wuque. Xiao Chen's eyes gleamed with sharpness. His gaze was as sharp as a treasure sword, deterring others from looking directly at him.
As Xiao Chen stood in the sky, he looked like a deity, showing extraordinary might and an overwhelming aura.
"Fourth Heaven Emperor Wu!"
"It really is the Fourth Heaven Emperor Wu. Di Wuque actually underwent four lightning tribulations after pushing open his Emperor's Door, becoming a Greater Heavenly Emperor Wu."
"What a horrifying aura and Emperor's Might. Even if someone said that he could compete with a Sovereign Martial Emperor now, I would believe it."
Cries of astonishment rang out. Everyone was shocked by the strength that Di Wuque erupted with after pushing open his Emperor's Door.
However, Di Wuque, who should have been excited and joyful, showed a sullen expression. The rage that he suppressed in his chest was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.
He was angry. How could he not be angry?!
After completing this nine-colored Emperor's Road, Xiao Chen was already the strongest person to come to the Kunlun Realm since the Ancient Era.
However, the scarlet light filling the sky drowned him. All the glory and attention were gone. No one could understand such depression.
There was also the death of the Divine Daughter and many other things. All of this was because of the person on that bloody Emperor's Road.
Why? Why am I, Di Wuque, after experiencing so much hardship and completing this nine-colored Emperor's Road, still not comparable to him?!
"Even if you die, you still have to trample on me, Di Wuque?"
Di Wuque said through clenched teeth, a murderous intent surging in his eyes.
