Chapter 916: Soul Battle, the Emperor's True Body (5k -in-)

From the beginning.

It started from the moment Tian Ling Gu received the order from His Majesty.

His mind began to work and think frantically.

Although he was extremely frightened and panicked, the seven who had survived for countless tens of thousands of years did not become impulsive or lose their minds because of this.

He had only one goal, which was to complete the order of His Majesty - to capture all the invaders and bring them before His Majesty, to torture them or execute them, all depended on His Majesty's will.

But all of this has one biggest premise - defeat all invaders.

He wants to defeat Taotie, defeat Qingnv, defeat Zhulongzi, and defeat Yu Chen.

If we look at it from a common perspective, Yu Chen and Zhu Longzi are not to be feared at all, so as long as he can deal with Taotie and Qingnv, he will basically be sure of victory.

But it is easier said than done - although Tian Ling Gu now controls the body of Zhulong and possesses the power of a celestial being, plus the many magical instruments and skills of the Dayuan civilization, it is able to suppress ordinary celestial beings.

It can be said to be an omnipotent ability, extremely powerful!
But the ancient god Taotie was not a vegetarian either. In Zhulong's memory, this guy was terrifyingly powerful, and he was one of the few people in the realm of heaven and man who would fight to the death regardless of the consequences!

In addition, there was also the unknown spirit woman. Although she did not make many moves, Tianling Gu also felt a terrifying sense of crisis from her!

His intuition told him that this spiritual woman was no less powerful than a celestial being!

Under this circumstance, if a fight really broke out, even if we take a step back and assume that Tianling Gu defeated the ancient god Taotie in the form of Zhulong, the terrifying woman with the spirit of the weapon would not be easy to deal with.

——This information was obtained by Tianling Gu through repeated ambushes and tests to understand the opponent's combat power.

All in all, after extremely complicated calculations, Tianling Gu figured out his chances of winning - no chance of winning at all.

So from the very beginning, when he came to kill fiercely, his target was never Taotie and Qingnv, but Yu Chen.

Judging from Zhulong's memory, Taotie seems to have been driven by a certain indigenous human being recently, and is even willing to fight for him. Moreover, according to Zhulong's impression, the ancient god Taotie has always been a tyrannical, bastard, with endless desires and a terrible ancient god who will never be willing to be inferior to others.

Therefore, it is very likely that the indigenous human in front of him has some leverage over Taotie, forcing him to surrender.

As for the spirit woman, it was even simpler. Since she also obeyed the orders of this native human, this human should also be her master...

All these things had been clearly sorted out in Tianling Gu's mind on the way here.

and so……

As long as Yu Chen is controlled, neither Taotie nor the spirit woman will be a threat!

As for Zhu Longzi who is in Daoguo realm, although no one knows why he has not yet died, it is no longer important - he is just a superfluous thing, it makes no difference whether he is there or not!
So, Tianling Gu's plan began.

Whether it was the attack on Taotie or the life-saving porcelain doll, they were just a trick. His real purpose was to find an opportunity to control Yu Chen!

Although he was caught off guard by the "parasitic" ability of Taotie in the end, he still completed the entire plan in the end.

——Control Yu Chen!
Tian Ling Gu couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart, but besides that, he felt more relaxed.

She had witnessed once with her own eyes the horrific anger that His Majesty felt after learning the truth—it was an endless rage that was enough to burn the entire world to ashes.

What he was sure of was that if he failed to complete the mission on this journey, dying outside would be the best outcome. If by chance he survived, a terrible situation worse than death would await him when he returned.

But fortunately...

Tian Ling Gu felt relieved and happy from the bottom of his heart.

But Zhu Longzi watched helplessly as the horrible crystal cicada pupa drilled into Yu Chen's brain, and his face suddenly turned into grief and despair.

The ups and downs are the most painful.

He was previously killed by Zhulong himself, and he was still obsessed with the idea and couldn't let it go. He thought everything was irreversible, until he met Yu Chen, and hope was rekindled in his heart.

But before they even reached Zhongshan Mountain, this slim hope was shattered.

From Yu Chen's previous narration, he was extremely clear about the horror of the Heavenly Spirit Gu - especially since this was the queen insect of the Heavenly Spirit Gu, and his ancestor His Majesty Zhu Jiuyin's soul would be controlled as well. Yu Chen, who was only at the Hedao realm...how could he resist?
despair.

Powerless.

Bewildered.

All kinds of emotions surged into Zhu Longzi's heart in an instant. He sighed deeply, burst into tears, and murmured to himself: "It's probably because I did too many evil things in the first half of my life that I ended up in this situation..."

But just when he was feeling sad, the reactions of Taotie and Qingnv beside him were somewhat different.

Zhulong looked at Yu Chen and was silent for a long time before he asked in a daze: "Has he always been so brave?"

Qingnv nodded, turned her head, and shook her head, saying, "No need to watch anymore, it's over."

After hearing this, Zhu Longzi ignited a last glimmer of hope in his heart and bowed: "You two...is there any way to save His Majesty?"

Taotie heard it, turned around and looked at him: "What do you want to save?"

Qingnv also shook her head: "We don't need to intervene."

Zhu Longzi was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his bewildered look, Taotie spoke quietly, "Little Candle Dragon, the misfortune and bad luck we are talking about are not about the grave keeper, but... the Heavenly Spirit Gu."

After hearing this, Zhu Longzi was even more confused and bewildered.

And... I don't believe it.

Even his grandfather, His Majesty Zhulong, couldn't resist the Heavenly Spirit Gu, so could Yu Chen be immune to it?

Then Qingnv continued, "Gu, you are following me in calling him 'Your Majesty', but do you know which 'Your Majesty' he is?"

Zhu Longzi shook his head in amazement.

"He was once the emperor of the Three Realms." Qingnv said.

"He is the King of the Underworld in your Netherworld." Taotie continued.

Then, both parties took a deep breath at the same time and uttered four words: "——Emperor Fengdu."

Rumbling--

It was like a terrifying thunder, resounding in Zhu Longzi's mind, echoing loudly!

At that moment, his whole body froze!

The Great Emperor of Fengdu?

Zhu Longzi was naturally not unfamiliar with this name, as he was a creature from the Three Realms period.

In that era when all creatures competed against each other and the heaven and earth were prosperous and majestic, there were three beings who seemed to be above the sky, suppressing everything. Everything in heaven and on earth was under their mighty imperial power!
The Emperor of the Heavenly Divine Court, Zhang Bairen!

The human world and the world have the same king, Zhen Yuanzi!

The great emperor of Fengdu, the underworld, is the Da Ting clan!

The name alone is enough to make the three realms of heaven and earth bow down to him!

Now, he was told that the person in front of him was one of them?
For a moment, Zhu Longzi felt the earth spinning and the sky spinning, and an endless surprise surged into his heart. But soon, he suddenly reacted.

Do not!
wrong!

Even if Yu Chen is the King of Fengdu, he should be a being similar to a reincarnated body.

The practice of the Tao in the state of harmony with the Tao is real and authentic.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Taotie and Qingnv to intervene in all the previous obstacles. If it was the King of Fengdu in his prime, a single glance would be enough to crush everything!
"But...but Your Majesty...your current realm and level of cultivation..."

He spoke with concern.

"As expected of the Candle Dragon bloodline, it's really stupid..." Taotie sighed helplessly, "——What is the essence of this Heavenly Spirit Gu?"

Zhu Longzi was at a loss, but he still remembered Yu Chen's story and blurted out: "An existence created by countless souls?"

"What is the underworld for? What does the King of Fengdu do? The countless dead souls in heaven and on earth... where do they go?" Taotie asked again.

At that moment, Zhu Longzi's eyes widened!
It dawned on me!

At the same time, he also understood what Taotie had sighed at the beginning.

——Has he always been so brave?
There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

And when he thought of that stupid Tianling Gu, he even... revealed a hint of pity and sarcasm.

But the Tianling Gu, which had already invaded Yu Chen's divine stalk and instantly thrust all its roots into every corner of the divine stalk, had no idea what they were doing outside.

He was filled with joy, contentment, and relief.

“What a vast interior…”

He even had the mood to observe Yu Chen's divine stalk, and slowly gave his evaluation: "With such potential in the inner world, if given enough time, you might be able to break through to the realm of His Majesty the Dao. Unfortunately... you are natives, not my people."

As he spoke, the incomparably huge crystal cicada pupa that lay across the interior of the divine vine slowly shook its head.

He looked around at everything inside as if admiring it.

I saw the “seeds” of many magical powers and Taoist methods, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, the Pangu Banner, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the rolling Yellow Springs, the Fengdu Ghost City, and... the underworld.

Gradually, Tianling Gu's gaze became horrified!
Because he could feel that each and every one of these things was either an extremely terrifying treasure or a projection of some kind of majestic and terrifying existence!
——That is to say, Yu Chen is only at the Hedao realm at the moment. If he is given more time and allowed to get a few steps closer, it may also be a terrifying threat to the Dayuan world!

fortunately!

Fortunately, we can destroy it here now!
Tianling Gu is still feeling scared!
After observing for a while, he no longer planned to waste time. Invisible halos were released along the countless roots, and he was about to completely control Yu Chen's inner scene!
As long as he can control his inner world and manipulate his soul, both the Taotie and the woman with the spirit of the weapon will be at his disposal and will not pose any threat!
But as the "control" began, Tianling Gu's brow began to frown.

——Obviously, everything was fine, but he only felt that the countless roots he stretched out could not "take root" at all, and could only float in the interior of this divine vine like rootless duckweed.

what happened?

Why can't I control it?

This was the first time he encountered such a situation, and he felt confused and at a loss.

And with... a bit of anxiety.

And it was at this moment that a voice suddenly rang out.

"Have you seen enough?"

In an instant, like thunder, the huge body of the Tianling Gu shook all over!
Turn your head suddenly!

In the void inside the scene, Yu Chen's figure had been standing there at some point, and he asked him with a bit of sarcasm and amusement.

Tianling Gu became anxious, and endless terrifying roots instantly rushed towards Yu Chen's soul like spirit snakes, ready to take root deeply in his soul and control his thoughts and consciousness!
But what was extremely strange was that those countless roots suddenly stopped when they were a hundred feet away from Yu Chen!
Tremble!

Tianling Gu mobilized all its strength, but still couldn't push them forward even a bit!
Even from those roots, he felt an... indescribable and endless fear!

It was as if those roots were afraid of the thing they were about to attack!
“How is it possible…how is it possible…” Tianling Gu murmured.

He was very clear about his own origins - in the Dayuan era, he controlled the "Tianpo Mountain", the operating center of all the "souls" in the entire Dayuan, and was forged with the souls of countless lives. Logically speaking, from the soul level, whether it was the former Dayuan or the Three Realms today, except for the Tianpo Daozun who was in charge of all ghost matters, no living being's soul could compete with him!

But now... in fear!

Even he himself didn't know where this fear came from and why!

But the fear that was like a sword hanging over his head about to fall was like an instinct, turning into a terrifying tide that hit his heart wave after wave!

Somewhere in the dark, deep in the soul, it seemed like another huge voice was roaring wildly!
escape!
escape!
Run away!
At that moment, the Tianling Gu no longer cared about any mission, and its endless terrifying roots instantly retracted and turned into a stream of light, attempting to escape from Yu Chen's divine vine!
But in the next moment, he suddenly found that his body was no longer under his control! No matter how he moved, it was as if it was fixed in place and could not move at all!
"Now that you're here, don't leave." Yu Chen's voice stood up behind Tianling Gu.

In an instant, an uncontrollable fear rose from Tianling Gu's heart!
He raised his head and looked at Yu Chen who was slowly walking towards him with trembling eyes. He was filled with horror and was unable to express in words!
"Who... who are you?"

He looks fierce but is actually weak and extremely horrified!
"who am I?"

Yu Chen seemed to chew on this question again and again, counting on his fingers, "A gravekeeper? An indigenous human? An alien? A culprit who ruined your plan?"

After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Tianling Gu: "Which one is the answer you want to hear? Or none of them?"

Standing in front of the other party, he took a deep breath and said, "In the outside world, I am just a human in the Hedao realm, not even worthy of your eyes. But in the state of soul, in this divine vine inner scene, this... is me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and the Twelve Emperors' Crowns appeared in his hand. He grabbed it with one hand and casually pressed it on his head.

At that moment, the entire interior of the Divine Sprout began to rumble and vibrate!
Rumble!
The black-gold twelve imperial crowns suddenly burst out with endless terrifying light, and the rolling black-gold halo fell down, covering Yu Chen's entire body, turning into a black-gold imperial robe!
Immediately afterwards, within the interior of this divine vine, the endless universe and all things began to move!

The ancient Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel rumbled up and flew behind Yu Chen's head, slowly spinning like an ancient, majestic and terrifying divine ring, dropping endless reincarnation energy and crushing all things in the void!
The vast Fengdu Ghost City surged like a wave and gathered at Yu Chen's feet. Countless terrifying evil ghosts with green faces and fangs knelt down and shouted the holy name!
The turbid yellow spring with no beginning or end came flooding in, drowning out all power, but it was like a docile evil snake that wrapped around Yu Chen's body and flowed slowly!
The eighteen levels of hell with ferocious mountains of knives, blazing seas of fire, rolling copper pillars, and boiling oil pots fell from the sky and landed behind Yu Chen. Endless and tragic wails came from them, which was extremely creepy!
There was also a dark red sun, which violently and savagely tore through the sky and earth and descended, leaving behind countless dark red halos that fell on Yu Chen, making him look like an almighty god from outer space!
Then, an almost perfect circle appeared in front of him, the upper half was life, the lower half was death, in charge of life and death! At the same time, Yu Chen's eyes also lost all human colors, and were replaced by infinite vitality and rolling death!

——Above the ghost city of Fengdu, surrounded by the rolling Yellow Springs, with the six paths of reincarnation above his head and the eighteen purgatory on his back, his left eye controls life and his right eye controls death, he is crowned with twelve imperial crowns and wears the imperial robe of the underworld!
This is Yu Chen’s true attitude!
Emperor Fengdu!

A hollow, cold, merciless, superior voice came out of his mouth, completely devoid of any human emotion, just like the supreme natural law of heaven.

Answered Tianling Gu's question.

"——Dayuan has Tianpo, who controls the souls of the dead; the three realms have reincarnation, Siming, Hades, and the underworld. The heavens and the earth are called... Fengdu!"

At that moment, when Yu Chen's true body appeared, Tianling Gu only felt an indescribable huge fear, and in an instant... it filled his whole body!

By now!

How could he not understand the other party's identity?
From Zhulong's memory, he had already seen the structure of the three realms clearly!
In the heyday of the Three Realms, before the disaster invaded, there were three great emperors: the God Emperor, the Earth Ancestor, and Fengdu!

And standing in front of him was one of the three great emperors, Emperor Fengdu!
In charge of life and death, reincarnation, and endless ghosts and spirits!

In the Dayuan world, the same function is managed by "Tianpo Mountain", one of the three mountains among the three mountains and nine masters! Similarly, Tianpo Mountain is also the creator of Tianling Gu!
At that moment, under the deep fear, Tianling Gu was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears!
——Natural nemesis!
He's so unlucky, he knows how to pick his opponents!

Not only did he pick one of the three realms emperors!

He even picked out the one who could restrain him the most, the King of Fengdu, who was in charge of life and death and souls!

And his existence is purely constructed and refined by that soul!
He intends to control Yu Chen, control the Emperor of Fengdu, and control one of the emperors who controls the life and death of souls in the three realms!

It's like using a spark to burn the rolling lava!

It's just a pipe dream!
