Chapter 255 The Immortal Path: Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations
Chapter 255 The Immortal Path: Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations
Under a clear blue sky, the celestial constellation array was at its peak.
In the dead of night, the Zhou Tian Star Array was at its peak.
Stars orbited around, and the Demon Master flicked his finger to attack the God of Death, sending large stars flying like marbles.
It is not a real star, but a condensation of starlight, containing the laws and order of the demon race's heavenly court.
Death is a constant companion, and the Kunpeng (a mythical bird) can unleash its power at will. Death is omnipresent and therefore impossible to defend against.
The Death Demon God changed form, its figure constantly disintegrating, only to reform itself again.
The images vary, including the elderly, middle-aged, youth, teenagers, and children.
The Death God said calmly, "Kunpeng, your pursuit of freedom and your delusion of escaping death are impossible."
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng joked, "Interesting. You powerful beings are really boring; you can't even tolerate individual freedom."
The God of Death patiently explained, "If you are free, then death is incomplete. No Great Dao True Saint can allow a being like you to exist. If all the beings of the primordial world pursue freedom and unbridled existence, who will help us attain the Dao?"
Enlightenment
Pangu created the heavens and the earth to attain the Dao; the Chaos Demon God hunted down Pangu to attain the Dao; and the Nine Heavens built the Heavenly Dao to attain the Dao.
Hongjun viewed the path of immortality as a stepping stone to achieving enlightenment.
In order to attain enlightenment, the Demon Ancestor Rahu used all demons as nourishment.
A being high above can only climb by stepping on the heads of living beings—it's both laughable and pathetic!
"A true saint views all living beings as ants; why should he care so much?"
The Death Demon God said calmly, "If the True Saint doesn't care about the beings of the primordial world, he can naturally ignore them, but you ants are their foundation of Dao."
"One path to success is built on the bones of countless others. You have no creativity or insight; you simply exploit the lives of other beings."
"Hehe, Kunpeng, why are you so attached to appearances? Eating grass doesn't necessarily mean planting grass, and eating meat doesn't necessarily mean eating yourself. The primordial wilderness is the best pasture and hunting ground."
"Yes, it's a dog-eat-dog world, it's always like that."
a moment
The demon master used the radiance of countless stars to envelop the battlefield, creating a stark contrast between life and death, temporarily delaying the Chaos Demon God's reaping of the battlefield.
Donghuang Taiyi, Zhujiuyin, and others rushed to the rescue.
With the flapping of its wings of time and space, the demon master Kunpeng fought a great battle against the Chaos Demon God and died, but in the eyes of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, Kunpeng was merely fighting against the void.
The death of the Chaos God could not be seen; only the image left behind by the Death God could be seen, but it was immediately destroyed.
The imagery of drowning suggests that all living things can potentially drown.
The imagery of burning to death suggests that all living things could be burned to death.
Water and fire are merciless, and they contain a strong Daoist aura of death. The constant death of the Chaos Demon God impacts the life field set up by the Zhou Tian Star Array.
The demon master transmitted his voice across the battlefield: "May all immortal beings enjoy eternal bliss and long life."
"We immortal beings can live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon."
"Seize the creation of heaven and earth, delve into the mysteries of the sun and moon, and nurture immortals from all things in heaven and earth."
When the Celestial Court was suffering defeat after defeat
The Eastern King was weak and exhausted; this great supernatural being was no match for the four quasi-sages.
Two demon emperors and two ancestral witches—this alliance is terrifying.
The Fusang tree broke, and this one of the ten great spiritual roots of the primordial world was also severely damaged. Even without taking human form, it still possessed the Primordial Dao Fruit.
The scepter turned to dust, the Heavenly Mandate Dragon Seal was shattered, and the Lord of the Celestial Court was plunged into a desperate situation.
Xihe sighed, "Duke of the East, you knew this was the case, so why did you do it? Why suffer like this?"
The Azure Emperor Fuxi said solemnly, "Don't be careless. The Eastern King Duke's desperate counterattack is terrifying."
With disheveled hair, Dongwanggong suddenly roared to the sky: "Demon God of Death, I will sacrifice the Three Corpses to exchange death for supreme power."
a moment
Death marks, death runes, and death patterns are all over the Three Corpses.
The power of destiny allowed the three corpses to merge most of their parts. Now, the three corpses have become one, turning into dye, which is then ignited by death.
One time
The aura of the Eastern King Duke surged, approaching that of a Primordial Golden Immortal, possessing the brute strength of a Heavenly Dao True Saint in the primordial world.
The Ancestral Witch Shebi Shi exclaimed in horror, "Duke Dongwang, you've truly gone mad! You're actually willing to destroy your three corpses for temporary combat power!"
The Demon Queen Chang Xi scolded, "Aren't you afraid of falling from the Primordial Chaos Realm and reverting to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm if you go to such lengths?"
"Hmph, even if I fall from the Great Luo Realm, I still cannot let you destroy this pure land of the Three Islands and Ten Provinces."
moment
The Eastern King Duke was incredibly brave; he could contend with the Ancestral Witches and choose to fight Fuxi in terms of damage.
The Demon Emperor avoided the Eastern King Duke's sharp edge, while the Ancestral Witch dodged the Eastern King Duke's desperate fighting style.
The three immortals of Penglai wailed in despair, and the nine elders of Yingzhou wept bitterly.
The Lord of the Celestial Court fought fiercely, preferring to die singing than to surrender.
Peach blossoms danced in the air, their crimson petals like blood.
The Queen Mother of the West fought a great battle against the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witch of the Underworld. The Ziwei Demon Emperor said with apprehension, "Queen Mother of the West, we only ask that the Celestial Court be dissolved. You don't need to fight so desperately."
The Queen Mother of the West held the Kunlun Mirror, from which countless rays of celestial light shone. The Celestial Queen solemnly declared, "We were ordained by Heaven, and we established the Celestial Court in accordance with Heaven's will. How can we disband it?"
The Ancestral Witch of Wind, Tianwu, retorted, "What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"
After speaking
The burning of the three corpses of the Queen Mother of the West was also achieved by drawing upon the power of the death of the Chaos Demon God.
The Thunder Ancestor Witch Qiangliang and the Lightning Ancestor Witch Xizi were shocked, never expecting the Celestial Court leader to be so resolute.
The Immortal Lord guards the Immortal Gate; the Immortal Queen dies in the Immortal Court.
The Eastern King Duke self-destructed, and the Western Queen Mother spontaneously combusted, sacrificing their lives to overpower the eight strongest beings in Heaven and the Underworld.
Donghuang Taiyi stood on the Chaos Bell, and the demon leaders waited for the Heavenly Dao True Saint to make his move, but he did not appear for a long time.
Zhu Jiuyin said coldly, "Something's not right. The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother are not right, and the Heavenly Dao True Saint is not right either."
Di Jun pondered, "The Celestial Court was created at the behest of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. At the very least, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would intervene to prevent the Celestial Court from being destroyed. However, it's strange that Yangmei Immortal and Xuanhuang Ancestor came to stop them."
Houtu hesitated and asked, "Could it be that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has abandoned the Celestial Court and no longer wishes to be an enemy of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld?"
Nuwa laughed, "Sister Houtu, when have you ever seen Hongjun afraid? It's not that he's abandoning the Celestial Court; he probably has more important things to do. The Heavenly Dao True Saint is powerless to intervene in the current situation!"
"What on earth could possibly require the combined efforts of eight Heavenly Dao True Saints...?"
Suddenly
The Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Human Race, Ziyi, roared in anger, while Jiao, one of the Ancestors of Humanity, rebuked him, her sewing bone needle and stone needle shining brightly.
Humans and immortals alike coughed up blood, and those at the Innate Realm even fainted.
Ghostly immortals wailed, human immortals coughed up blood, gods were terrified, earth immortals shed tears, and celestial immortals grieved.
All living beings, immortal beings, gods, demons, and mythical beasts were terrified.
The ancestor of humanity, Youchao, raised his head, having attained the status of a Quasi-Saint through the merits of the Heavenly Dao. Youchao exclaimed in fear, "The will of Heaven is like a knife, severing all spirits!"
The Zhou Tian Star Array twisted, and an invisible celestial blade cleaved down, but it was now blocked by the array.
The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation trembled, and an invisible heavenly blade was blocked.
The Heavenly Will cleaved down, directly targeting all living beings; most beings below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level were struck.
Some creatures, struck by the knife, immediately began to transform into the Dao, becoming part of the laws of heaven and earth.
The Way of Heaven absorbs the radiance of all living beings, thus becoming higher and stronger.
Lingbao Tianzun exclaimed in shock and anger, "Damn it! The Heavenly Dao has severed the immortal lifespan of all spirits!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable roared, "Not only were the primordial beings killed, but the Five Immortals of the Zhou Heaven will also find it difficult to achieve immortality."
The Supreme Lord of Morality said leisurely, "The innate beings and the immortal beings are now being harvested to nourish the Heavenly Dao."
Heaven's will is like a knife cleaving down; all living things have their lifespan.
The lifespan of beings born with this condition has been drastically reduced, with most unlikely to live past three hundred years.
Ghost immortals, human immortals, divine immortals, earth immortals, and celestial immortals all have a lifespan of five hundred years.
The trials of three calamities and nine tribulations can prolong one's life, while those who fail to overcome them will perish.
The five signs of decay in gods and demons indicate that one's fate, lifespan, and other such things are predetermined.
As the Way of Heaven rises, so too does the True Saint.
