The Supreme Being of the World, Starting from the Heaven-shattering Fuxi

Chapter 507 Swords, Axes, and Spears; True Martial Achievement; Amitabha Shocked; Subdued Emperor Returns

In the world of the supreme being, among all the heavens and myriad realms, strange phenomena suddenly arose, appearing almost everywhere.

An old man, thin in appearance but exuding a sharp aura, illuminated the entire world.

The crowd was astonished. Many ancient cultivators recognized the old man and couldn't help but sigh, "Black Emperor, you've finally taken this step."

Not long ago, the Azure Emperor ascended to the other shore, alarming all the heavens and myriad realms. Many powerful beings were still reeling from the aftermath of this event.

Unexpectedly, the last of the Five Emperors of antiquity, the Black Emperor, caught up very quickly.

The Black Emperor, also known as the True Martial Emperor, is the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable among the Ten Great Heavenly Venerables of Taoism. He possesses an identity that is known to almost all those with great supernatural powers and even to many legends.

He was once a Daoist disciple who transcended the world, possessing extraordinary foundation.

With this identity, almost no one thought that there would be any problems with his achievement of the other shore.

Only Meng Qi was worried, muttering to himself, "I hope we don't fail again."

He knew very well that in the so-called "plot," the Black Emperor would attempt to reach the other side later than he was now, and would ultimately fail.

Meng Qi already knew that the Black Emperor could be considered his father-in-law's "senior brother," and that his father-in-law might even need his help to achieve his goal.

Meng Qi was in a difficult position amidst the struggle between the Three Pure Ones and the Fuxi family.

However, when it comes to fighting with his father-in-law's family in the Buddhist community represented by Amitabha Buddha, Meng Qi's attitude is still very clear.

As Meng Qi experienced a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, a chaotic void enveloped everyone's hearts.

In the chaos, a tortoise and a snake intertwined and rose up, forming the image of Xuanwu, and landed beneath the Black Emperor.

That mysterious river of time, as if materialized, entwined around the Black Emperor and the Xuanwu beneath him.

Illuminating all directions, the world is in chaos, the Black Tortoise descends, time surrounds him... Just like the Azure Emperor not long ago, it is also one of the four kinds of otherworldly phenomena.

Once the Black Emperor fully integrates his illusory Dao into the past, grasps the present, and influences the future, his proof of the Other Shore will be complete.

Many powerful beings were filled with envy upon witnessing this scene.

But at that moment, a calming zither melody suddenly rang in the ears of all beings, and countless black and white light spots danced before their eyes, depicting Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams, covering the time where the Black Emperor resided.

Before the towering, cloud-piercing Zhenwu, a figure that seemed to encompass the past and future and was beyond the mortal's comprehension, appeared a tall and majestic figure. He wore a black imperial robe covering his entire body, his face veiled by a crown and adorned with beads, obscuring his features. He wore boots made of golden dragon scales, and was surrounded by celestial clouds and the sound of a zither. Life and death were in perfect balance, flowing endlessly.

With his appearance, the Hetu Luoshu, which helped Zhenwu establish the two poles of life and death, suddenly became uncontrollable and flew towards him.

Boundless vitality and deathly intent began to swirl, attempting to interfere with Zhenwu's attainment of the other shore.

"Emperor Fu?!"

Few of the great masters of creation who are still alive today have ever seen this one of the Three Sovereigns of the Primordial Era.

But since he has shown himself, and his own Dao is not concealed in the slightest, he will naturally be recognized.

No one expected that Emperor Fu, who supposedly perished after losing the battle for the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times, would reappear in the mortal world.

Moreover, the first thing he did after appearing was to stop the Black Emperor Zhenwu from proving his Dao.

"I've never heard of any karmic connection between Emperor Fu and the Black Emperor in the ancient times?"

Both of them existed in the previous era. Unless there was a tremendous cause and effect involved, they would never have done anything to obstruct the path.

Meng Qi looked confused, not knowing what was about to happen.

"Could it be that my father-in-law intends to prevent the Black Emperor from attaining enlightenment?"

As this thought flashed through his mind, a purple palace appeared faintly in the chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, as if boundless Dao intent naturally arose within it.

On the banks of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in the Western Paradise, an ancient monk frowned as he looked at the suddenly appearing purple palace.

Amitabha Buddha. When Guanyin Bodhisattva brought the Hetu and Luoshu out of the Tushita Palace and handed them to Meng Qi, she already knew a lot about cause and effect.

Almost instantly, the cause and effect concerning the Boundless Heavenly Venerable appeared in the Heavenly Secrets.

The three beings who were the same in ancient times—the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, the Lord of Mount Tai, and the Jade Emperor—were actually the reincarnations of Emperor Fu.

Although Amitabha Buddha was surprised by this, it was within his understanding.

After all, with the identities of Thor and Demon Buddha preceding him, if the Jade Emperor could be resurrected in this era, why couldn't the Emperor Fu?
He just didn't understand how Fu Huang became the successor of the Dao Venerable after his rebirth.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to hide the cause and effect for so many years.

Amitabha Buddha also did not know why the Celestial Venerable of Morality would help Zhenwu achieve the other shore.

However, Amitabha Buddha, who regards the Moral Celestial Venerable as his greatest adversary, understands one thing: the end times are approaching, and he will do his best to thwart whatever his adversary wants to do.

He also knew that Zhenwu's attainment of enlightenment might be a test for him.

Amitabha Buddha accepted the test and used the "Fu Huang" he had controlled for many years.

He wanted to see how the Celestial Venerable of Morality would respond, but unexpectedly, it was the Celestial Venerable of Morality's Purple Cloud Palace that appeared.

"Could it be that even though the Daoist has transcended, he still cares about this only child?"

While Amitabha Buddha was pondering, no one stepped out of Zixiao Palace. Only a faint voice echoed throughout the myriad realms: "Borrow a knife!"

As soon as the words fell, in the Xuan Tian Sect of the real world, a divine blade, seemingly representing the origin of time, mysterious yet luminous, cleaved through the sky and slashed towards Emperor Fu.

Time's Blade!

Or perhaps it's not simply the Blade of Time; the illusory Great Dao of the ancient Heavenly Emperor floats within it, indicating that this Heavenly Emperor has not completely perished.

His current state is somewhere between being alive and dead.

In terms of remaining strength, he is not as good as Emperor Fu who was controlled by Amitabha Buddha, but in terms of condition, he is much better than Emperor Fu.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor within the Blade of Time still possesses freedom.

Unfortunately, this bit of free spirit is not enough for the Time Blade to defeat Emperor Fu, but Amitabha Buddha is not worried.

However, the voice from within the Purple Cloud Palace continued: "Sword, come!"

After these words were spoken, a divine weapon from the other shore, formed from the will of humanity to rule all heavens, also landed beside Emperor Fu from within the Sealed Heaven Platform of the Real World.

The Emperor's Sword!
The divine weapon was forged by the Human Emperor after he attained enlightenment in the medieval period, and the Human Emperor's illusory Dao is also found within it.

His situation was similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor; he received help during the turmoil of that year, narrowly escaping death and gaining a chance of survival.

The Time Blade is in the east, and the Human Emperor's Sword is in the north; they seem poised to besiege Emperor Fu.

But that's not enough!
"Where there is gold in the West, there will surely be a divine axe to punish it!"

In the Tianhou Palace at sea, the Heavenly Punishment Axe, which Gu Xiaosang had snatched, seemed to be stimulated and immediately soared into the sky, appearing next to Emperor Fu.

In the words of the Azure Emperor, this Heavenly Punishment Axe should not be considered a true divine weapon from the other shore.

But now, Meng Qi clearly felt that the power of the Heavenly Punishment Axe was no less than that of the Time Blade and the Human Emperor Sword.

"What exactly is the reason?" Meng Qi didn't understand, and no one explained it to him.

"Now, the east, west, and north are all guarded by divine soldiers from the other shore, only the north is missing."

Many powerful beings had this thought in mind, and immediately heard a voice from within the Purple Cloud Palace: "Borrow this weapon to give the demon race a chance to survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crimson spear flew out from the hand of the Demon Saint's successor, its fierce aura stretching across the heavens and earth.

Demon Saint Spear!
Among all the divine weapons of the other shore, the Human Emperor Sword and the Demon Saint Spear are undoubtedly special.

Other divine weapons from the other shore represent lineages, while the Human Emperor Sword and the Demon Saint Spear represent races.

Many powerful beings, though they disliked the Great Dao of the Human Emperor and the Demon Saint, had to admit that their strength was extraordinary.

Now, the four divine weapons from the other shore have appeared simultaneously and attacked together, trapping Emperor Fu in all four directions.

After witnessing this scene in Zixiao Palace, Feng Xi murmured to himself, "It's time to take back this body."

In fact, Fu Huang's body was of little use to Feng Xi; at most, it saved him time in creating his own avatars later.

However, even if it is useless, it cannot remain in Amitabha Buddha's hands forever.

Now, the four divine weapons of the Other Shore, along with the four Other Shore deities who are either among these weapons or outside, have made their move.

How could the Emperor, who was controlled by Amitabha Buddha, possibly stop him?

Amitabha! Originally, I intended to take action myself to retrieve Emperor Fu's body, but a soft laugh came from the Tushita Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Amitabha Buddha's expression was very unpleasant, and he stopped what he was doing.

He knew in his heart that if he took action, the Celestial Venerable of Morality would definitely not stand idly by.

"What a troubled time."

At this moment, Amitabha Buddha no longer intended to make any further moves; he needed to carefully consider the current situation and his future plans.

Prior to today, he did not consider the Wuliang Tianzun faction as his opponent, even though they had a closer relationship with the Three Pure Ones.

However, now that the Boundless Heavenly Venerable and the Subduing Emperor are one, he will probably seek revenge on him sooner or later.

"If we fail this time, it won't just be a matter of being unable to transcend."

······
The cultivators of all the heavens and myriad realms watched helplessly as the four divine weapons from the other shore—the Time Blade, the Human Emperor Sword, the Heavenly Punishment Axe, and the Demon Saint Spear—appeared, cleaved through a world, and took "Emperor Fu" away towards the Purple Cloud Palace.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the chaos of the Purple Cloud Palace, a great power appeared and guided "Emperor Fu" into it.

However, the four weapons could not enter.

The remnants of the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor's Great Dao on the Time Blade and the Human Emperor's Sword merely chuckled lightly, unconcerned, and returned to their origin.

However, the Heavenly Punishment Axe and the Demon Saint Spear were very dissatisfied and let out a "humph".

However, the gates of Zixiao Palace remained tightly closed, preventing them from entering and seeing what was inside.

Even with the two divine weapons from the other shore, there was nothing they could do but retreat.

The Demon Saint Spear returned to the hands of the Demon Saint's successor, and the Heavenly Punishment Axe returned to Gu Xiaosang.

Within the Nuwa Palace, also located beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, a voice echoed: "Using people is for the present, but not for the future, this is excessive!"

Meanwhile, the Black Emperor Zhenwu, residing in the Nine Netherworlds, finally achieved the Other Shore Realm, filled with countless emotions.

"Thank you for your help, junior brother."

He thanked him in the direction of Zixiao Palace, and then looked at Meng Qi not far away: "Young friend, the cause and effect are complicated, and I have nothing to thank you for. So I will pass on the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying that I have mastered to you."

Meng Qi has mastered the general principles, the first move "Slaying the Dao to Reveal Myself", the fifth move "The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe", and the seventh move "The Dao is Born and the Dao is Destroyed" of the Seven Swords of Heaven.

Meng Qi naturally did not reject the Daoist Master's teachings.

He simply hadn't expected that the Black Emperor would possess the complete Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying.

"Actually, I didn't get all of Master's sword techniques back then. Some of them were sword moves that I developed with my junior brother Wuliang, and they were suitable for me."

"When you learn this sword, you must remember that only the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying that are in harmony with yourself are the true Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying."

Meng Qi nodded and said, "This disciple understands."

Not only the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, but also the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning, the Tathagata Palm, and all supernatural powers and techniques are like this.

Ultimately, everything needs to serve one's own spiritual practice.

The Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying are each a Great Dao; when they come together, they represent the evolution of the Great Dao of a world.

"Slay the Dao to see me; everything outside of me is the Dao, and I myself am the Dao. This is the sword that seeks the Dao and illuminates myself."
The Tao cannot be discussed; the true meaning is found in cause and effect and destiny, which serves as a hidden sword to protect oneself.
The Dao transcends time, it is the sword of time and space...

······
After Zhenwu passed on all seven swords, Meng Qi became completely immersed in the art, and it took him more than a decade to recover.

He could not say that he had mastered all seven swords of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, but he had already gained a sliver of their true meaning.

They will wait for the future to integrate these sword techniques into their own path.

While Meng Qi was comprehending the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, Feng Xi was studying the body of "Fu Huang" in the Zixiao Palace.

The body of a cultivator on the other shore is not merely a physical body; it is the abode of the illusory Great Dao.

The Great Dao of Emperor Fu is right before our eyes, but unfortunately, it lacks the core.

Feng Xi's current cultivation has long surpassed the former Path of Subduing the Emperor, so this body is of no reference value to him.

After all, the Way of Fengxi was established long ago, encompassing many systems, with "existence" connecting "non-existence," "sacrifice," and "emptiness," ultimately achieving the Great Way.

"Perhaps, the identity of Emperor Fu can be used to travel to the infinite space and probe their secrets."

Feng Xi thought of the world of "Lord of the Stars," where the Earth Mother had been "trained" by his cultivation avatar there, and had come to hate Fu Xi to the bone.

This hatred transcends time and space; it comes from the deepest recesses of the heart.

As for the Earth Mother, an eleven-star powerhouse from an infinite world, Feng Xi only took a portion of her back then.

Another part remains under the control of "Infinite".

Feng Xi wanted to take the portion of "Earth Mother" he controlled into the Infinite Realm, but he did not have a suitable incarnation.

After all, a low-level avatar was useless in the past, while a high-level avatar cannot be easily discarded; his current cultivation is still useful.

Emperor Fu is undoubtedly an incarnation that is of little use to cultivation, but it is worth a try.

With this in mind, Feng Xi decided to begin preparations. He would wait for the final tribulation of the Supreme Being to arrive, and then, after bringing the "Covering the Sky" universe back to the heavens, he could proceed.
