One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 855 The Great Luo Method
Above heaven and earth, beyond the five elements, in the boundless void, where there is neither rise nor fall.

Hu Xiuwu and the Jade Emperor each used their own methods to confront each other.

One supports the sacred tree, its feet firmly planted on the yin earth.

The sacred tree that stands there supports the sky and protects all living beings. Its trunk is not large, but it covers all realms, and its shade shelters all worlds.

With feet planted on yin earth, the six realms of reincarnation are established, one yin connects with ten thousand yang, guiding the souls of the dead from all realms, balancing the two paths of yin and yang.

The Jade Emperor sits on the throne of Lingxiao, with the Thirty-Three Heavens forming the thirty-three steps below. The Myriad Laws and Luminous Rings are inconspicuous patterns on the Emperor's robe. His Dharma body is supreme, ruling over all heavens, leading all saints, dominating the universe, enlightening all heavens, practicing the Way of Heaven, and spreading the virtue of Heaven.

Just as the serpent god once swayed through the void, capturing the world to feed on.

Having lived through many worlds and hundreds of years, Hu Xiuwu has acquired characteristics comparable to those of the Serpent God. Although his influence is still small, he is already on par with the Outer Gods, holding a similar status.

Like the Outer Gods, they exist independently in the void, unaffected by its corruption, and their status is comparable to that of many worlds within the void.

Seeing the many strange phenomena that had manifested within him, Hu Xiuwu pondered, "So that's how it is. The Daoist essence can even manifest in the void."

Looking at the Jade Emperor again, Hu Xiuwu discreetly observed that the Jade Emperor's hands were intact, with his right hand not missing. He also noticed that the Jade Emperor remained unmoved by the ethereal phenomena, seemingly already aware of the appearance of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the void. A guess arose in his mind:
"Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, have you ever heard of the Snake God?"

In the world of Chinese Paladin, the Heavenly Emperors only discovered the anomaly of their existence and the void after being unintentionally enlightened by Hu Xiuwu.

The Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor are similar. He should not know the situation of the void, and he should know more about the void than Hu Xiuwu, who crossed the void several times by borrowing the Jianmu tree, unless he had already come into contact with things related to the snake god and understood the true origin of the Three Realms.

The Jade Emperor, who had been sitting upright on his throne, observing Hu Xiuwu's radiating Daoist aura, showed emotion for the first time upon hearing this, exclaiming in surprise, "You actually have a connection with the Snake God?!"

The Jade Emperor was even more surprised than Hu Xiuwu.

'As expected, the Jade Emperor knew about the Snake God. No wonder he traveled throughout the Three Realms, visiting both Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court, yet found no trace of the Snake God's avatar.'

Hu Xiuwu finally solved a major mystery in his mind: the world of Black Myth was indeed more vast and bizarre than the world of Chinese Paladin.

It is highly likely that the remains of the Serpent God fell into the hands of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, as the Serpent God's will was no match for the illusory creation born from its power.

Hu Xiuwu burst into laughter, which aroused the suspicion of the Jade Emperor: "This matter is really too interesting. The Snake God actually lost to you."

"What's the difference between this and vegetables grown in the fields rebelling against the farmer?"

Upon hearing Hu Xiuwu's words, the Jade Emperor's expression turned serious, and a murderous aura began to rise.

In fact, the Jade Emperor did not initially have much intention to kill Hu Xiuwu.

Unlike Laozi, the Jade Emperor now wants to win over Hu Xiuwu.

Before becoming a Great Golden Immortal, Hu Xiuwu's actions were those of an outsider immortal challenging the Jade Emperor's position.

Becoming a Great Golden Immortal is simply a newly appointed Golden Immortal demanding the rights and benefits they deserve.

The Jade Emperor was willing to use certain benefits to win over Hu Xiuwu, after all, Hu Xiuwu controlled a grotto-heaven gate leading to the outer realms.

This plague-ridden world has long been depleted of spiritual energy and can no longer support many Great Luo Golden Immortals.

If Hu Xiuwu is willing to share this passage, the Jade Emperor would certainly be willing to form an alliance with him.

Of course, this is on the premise that Hu Xiuwu, like Laozi, is willing to honor him as the leader of the alliance.

But that was my previous idea.

Now the Jade Emperor only wants Hu Xiuwu dead!
He wants this outsider dead!
Hu Xiuwu knows about the Snake God, and it's one thing for him to know about the Snake God, but he also knows the origins of the Jade Emperor, Laozi, and the Buddha of Mount Ling. Hu Xiuwu absolutely cannot be allowed to live!

Understanding their background and origins can help us understand their weaknesses.

Who would willingly expose their weaknesses?

Hu Xiuwu was doomed to die. Not only would he die, but everyone and everything he had ever been in contact with would be wiped out! The Jade Emperor, filled with a desire for destruction, which was the will of Heaven, sent forth a chilling wind that rose from the void and blew toward Hu Xiuwu.

This wind is no ordinary wind; it is the wind calamity of the Three Calamities, the Bi Wind, which blows into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passes through the dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to disintegrate and the body to disintegrate on its own.

The wind can blow away the bodies of immortals and Vajra beings. Even Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen have to rely on their Seventy-Two Transformations and Thirty-Six Transformations to avoid the Three Calamities, rather than resisting them head-on.

This is the final tribulation of immortals and gods, specifically designed to destroy those with flawless bodies; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot allow the fierce winds of the Bifeng to blow at will.

The Bifeng wind is invisible and colorless, but as it blows through the void, it carries away the external demons within, demons that require a large group of extraordinary beings from the world of extraordinary beings to join forces to deal with.

As the wind swept by, the catkins became willow catkins drifting in the wind, silently blowing into the carapace, dispersing the primordial, undifferentiated chaotic energy within the body into pure energy.

The outer demon didn't even have time to struggle before it became a wisp of gray-black in the wind, merely adding a touch of color to the wind and outlining its trajectory.

Even this patch of black only rolled twice in the wind, its color fading until it finally disappeared without a trace.

Only the invisible and colorless wind remained, still heading towards Hu Xiuwu.

The treetops of the sacred tree swayed, blocking the invisible and intangible wind.

The wind attack was invisible and intangible, yet it still shook the treetops.

Trees and forests provide shelter from the wind and rain, but this is not by nature.

Bifeng was firmly blocked outside the shade of the sacred tree, and not a single gust of wind leaked under the tree.

Just as the typhoon struck, fires and lightning strikes followed.

The fire was a yin fire. It started from the Yongquan acupoint, burned straight through to the Niyuan Palace, turned the five internal organs to ash, and rotted the four limbs, rendering a thousand years of arduous practice futile.

The lightning strike was a divine thunderbolt from the heavens, which struck the crown of the head and pierced the dantian. The three souls were burned away, the seven spirits were reduced to ashes, and the soul and spirit were scattered, leaving the person without thought or feeling.

With three calamities striking at once, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would likely be reduced to ashes and have to start all over again.

But beneath the divine tree, above the yin earth, lies a pure land.

Lightning cannot strike it, fire cannot burn it, and wind cannot reach it.

The three calamities could not penetrate the divine tree, nor could thunder and fire strike the yin earth.

Hu Xiuwu leaned on his Spring Nourishing Sword, enjoying the peaceful moment. He could only hear the treetops rustling and hear thunder and lightning and endless eerie flames outside the trees.

Hu Xiuwu was not the type to take a beating without fighting back.

Spring's nourishment caused the sword to fall, and heaven and earth were destroyed.

Hu Xiuwu laughed loudly, his voice echoing through the void: "It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

The catastrophic scenes of the sky leaking and the earth cracking, the divine realm collapsing, and the underworld sinking reappeared.

Disaster, death, destruction, annihilation.

The four concepts are combined to form the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

The blade's edge is ominous, its body even more so. A malevolent sword devoid of dignity and morality, born solely for slaughter.

The Immortal Slayer's power is immense; it kills immortals and brings death. It traps immortals, causing red light to emanate everywhere. The Immortal Slayer's transformations are infinitely wondrous; even the Great Luo Immortals are stained with blood.

The four fierce creatures chased and flew towards the Jade Emperor on his throne.

He murdered the emperor to seize power; he was a traitor and a scoundrel!
