The Fuxi Road of the Heavens Beginning from the Immortal Realm

Chapter 271 Defeated Lu Suppresses the Investiture of the Gods
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu Ya."

He casually cupped his hands in greeting, and looking at the short, elderly man in a crimson robe before him, the information about the man surfaced in his mind as the Human Emperor.

Lu Ya Daojun, the son of the Jade Emperor of the previous era, was also a great supernatural being with perfect creation.

Thinking of this, a sense of curiosity arose in the heart of the Human Emperor.

I wonder if Lu Ya knows that the Demon Buddha Ananda is the reincarnation of a wisp of his father's obsession.
If he knew this information, I'm sure his expression would be priceless.

Lu Ya was not aware of what the Emperor was thinking; he simply looked at him warily, waiting for his next words.

Seeing this, the Human Emperor did not pretend to be mysterious and directly said, "The Investiture of the Gods should be on you, fellow Daoist. This item is a Heavenly Dao artifact, which is incompatible with your path and is not something you are qualified to control. It is time to hand it over."

After the Investiture of the Gods, the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip became the main body of the gods in Heaven, and could control the gods in Heaven.

However, these two celestial artifacts never belonged to the Emperor of Time; they were used by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Moral Heavenly Venerable to restrain the Emperor of Time.

The God-Slaying Whip has always been in the possession of Jiang Ziya and his descendants, and in this era it has become a national treasure of the State of Qi.

The Investiture of the Gods was hung near the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, becoming a symbol of the Zhou emperor's power and status.

Afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun extracted the Investiture of the Gods world from the origin of time to cover up Lingbao Tianzun's whereabouts. Many powerful beings in this world also left one after another, and the cultivation system of this world was completely broken. The Investiture of the Gods list fell into the hands of Lu Ya Daojun.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation are built upon treasures such as the Reincarnation Seal and the Investiture of the Gods.

'really.'

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya was not surprised; he had already guessed it.

Since this fellow Daoist, who is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Human Emperor, has embarked on the path of human rule, he must covet the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip, which are the manifestations of the Heavenly Dao's authority.

However, even with the Emperor's Sword in hand, it would be absolutely impossible for the other party to obtain the Investiture of the Gods from him without paying a huge price.

'Heh, Human Emperor'

As the thought crossed his mind, Lu Ya let out a cold laugh: "Heh, the Investiture of the Gods was an ancient artifact used by the Heavenly Court to control the gods. After the Heavenly Court fell, it became an unclaimed object."

"Now that I have obtained the Investiture of the Gods, it is naturally destined for me. Fellow Daoist Human Emperor, don't you think it's too domineering to ask me to hand it over with just a word?"

"Domineering?"

The Emperor lowered his gaze and spoke calmly, "Fellow Daoist Lu Ya, do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

At this point, he stroked the hilt of the pale gold longsword in his hand, his tone changed, and he said indifferently, "Then I will put it another way, Lu Ya, hand over the Investiture of the Gods, and I may spare your life today. Otherwise, I don't mind adding another Creation-level soul to the Emperor's Sword."

"Insanity!"

Seeing the other party's attitude of being able to manipulate him at will, Lu Ya's face darkened, and his aura surged: "You think you can take advantage of me?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ya's expression turned unusually cold, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes: "Only out of respect for the Human Emperor Sword will I address you as Human Emperor. Do you really think you are that ancient Human Emperor who once ruled the four poles?"

As the son of the Jade Emperor of the previous era, and a rare master of great supernatural powers with perfect creation abilities, Lu Ya was extremely proud.

Unless the true will of the other shore descends, he will not be afraid in the slightest, even if the other party wields the peerless Human Emperor Sword of the other shore.

Even if we can't win, escaping isn't a problem.

More importantly, Lu Ya actually loathed the position of Emperor, always feeling that it was an encroachment on the power of his father, who was supreme in his heart.

"Hey"

The Human Emperor sighed and said calmly, "I didn't want to take action, but since Fellow Daoist Lu Ya doesn't understand the will of Heaven, then today I will let you understand the weight of the title 'Human Emperor'!"

His voice wasn't loud, but the moment it reached Lu Ya's ears, it made his senses tremble, as if something bad was about to happen.

Instinctively raising his head, Lu Ya met a pair of unfathomable double pupils and saw his own reflection in them.

As if a video were playing, Lu Ya saw many scenes of himself from the past to the future playing rapidly in his double pupils, as if his past and future were controlled by the figure in front of him.

'impossible'

'This human emperor hasn't even reached the other shore yet, how could he possibly control my past and future?'

The moment the thought crossed Lu Ya's mind, he saw the figure in front of him extend his right hand, and the pale gold longsword in his hand slashed down at him.

Before the sword light had fully fallen, Lu Ya suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if some indescribable crisis had struck his heart.

Fortunately, he had been on high alert from the very beginning and had never let his guard down against the human emperor in front of him.

Upon seeing the opponent make their move, a small vermilion gourd appeared directly in front of him, radiating a terrifying killing aura.

"Please baby, turn around!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ya directly activated the illusory Great Dao he had condensed, activating this world-renowned peerless divine weapon.

laugh

A cold glint appeared, and a ray of white light shot out from the vermilion gourd. Within it was a creature with eyebrows and eyes, its expression cold and fierce. An endless killing intent swept across the heavens and earth, causing even a great supernatural being of the Creation level to feel their primordial spirit tremble.

In an instant, a white light pierced through the void and struck the Human Emperor's body, attempting to immobilize his primordial spirit.

Once immobilized by the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, no matter how many other beings or projections exist within it, they will all be immobilized and simultaneously perish upon the treasure's turn.

It can be said that this is a treasure for pure killing.

Even a master of great supernatural powers at the Creation level would not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

However, the Emperor's expression did not change much in the face of this white light that seemed to be able to freeze everything in the world.

His body was surrounded by an aura of kingly power, instantly dispelling the murderous intent that had locked onto his primordial spirit.

At the same time, the pale gold longsword in his hand gently slashed down, striking the white light as if it were a delayed attack but arrived first, carrying the fatalistic meaning that all futures are constant.

Zheng!
A resounding clang of metal clashing resounded, shaking heaven and earth. The power of all living beings surrounded the Emperor's Sword, and the majestic and vast Kingly Sword Qi collided with the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, causing the surrounding void to be annihilated and shattering the laws of heaven and earth.

Well!
Lu Ya let out a muffled groan, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

How can it be?

How could this human emperor be so powerful when he clearly hasn't reached the other shore?
wrong!

I may have misjudged the opponent's strength. This is another Azure Emperor, no, even more terrifying than the Azure Emperor before he landed.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya felt a sense of unease and instinctively prepared to flee.

But before he could make a move, an indescribable fear suddenly arose in his heart, as if an unimaginable terror was about to descend, yet he could not understand where the terror came from.

'This is...' Lu Ya's heart stirred, and he instinctively activated his own illusory Great Dao, looking towards a point in time in the past.

After achieving the perfection of creation, the illusory Great Dao that one has condensed is perfected. Feeling the erosion of the sea of ​​suffering, one is able to travel through the river of time and space to a limited extent, look back on the past and the future, and even manipulate the river of time and space of the ordinary universe that is not real.

However, the world of Investiture of the Gods is extremely special, with a status no different from the real world. In this world, Lu Ya can only rewind the past and future to a limited extent and cannot completely manipulate the river of time.

The next moment, a pale golden longsword came into his eyes. It wasn't at the current point in time, but several moments before, falling towards his past self.

The sword was engraved with images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, immortals, gods, demons, and all living beings. The power of all living beings surrounded it, condensing into a domineering sword aura that overwhelmed all directions, leaving the past self no time to resist.

'Before even reaching the other shore, he can already annihilate his opponents at points in the past, just like the true other shore. Is this the Human Emperor?'

As this thought crossed his mind, a bitter smile appeared on Lu Ya's lips.

Oh, the sea of ​​suffering!
No matter how powerful he is, he cannot prevent his past self from being attacked; the two are on completely different levels.

This must be the will of Heaven!

puff

Despite not being harmed at the current point in time, Lu Ya coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened instantly.

However, he was not worried about his injuries; instead, he looked puzzled.

With the power of the Human Emperor's Sword, how could my past self have possibly survived?
At this moment, a pale gold color flowed, and the blade of the Human Emperor Sword fell to Lu Ya's neck, but did not strike directly.

Looking at the Emperor who was staring at him with deep eyes, Lu Ya had a sudden realization.

With a wave of his hand, a scroll radiating a pale golden light appeared in his palm, seemingly a manifestation of the laws of heaven.

Above the scroll are three ancient and complex seal characters:
The list of gods!
On the other side, seeing the scroll gleaming with a faint golden light in Lu Ya's hand, the Human Emperor reached out and the scroll landed directly in his hand.

Buzz

The moment it fell into the hands of the Human Emperor, the Investiture of the Gods trembled slightly, emitting a sacred and majestic light that perfectly matched the imperial aura within the Human Emperor's body, seemingly directly acknowledging its new master.

Seeing this, Lu Ya's expression darkened.

As the former Heavenly Emperor and son of the Jade Emperor, his control over the Investiture of the Gods was actually less than that of the newly appointed Human Emperor before him!

How could all of this not make him feel terrible?

On the other side, with his mind connected to the Investiture of the Gods, he felt the Heavenly Dao authority contained within it. The mind of the Human Emperor trembled slightly, and his own Human Emperor status seemed to resonate with it in some way. A look of enlightenment appeared in his eyes as he understood the function of this Heavenly Dao artifact.

Then, he looked at Lu Ya, whose aura was weak, and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Lu Ya, hand over a wisp of your true spirit."

Lu Ya's expression changed drastically, and he was about to explode, but when he looked at the pale gold longsword at his neck, his expression changed again, and in the end he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to submit because he was weaker than his opponent.

Only by surviving can there be hope!

With a flick of his finger to his brow, a hazy divine light emerged from Lu Ya's body, like a phantom figure, and directly entered the Investiture of the Gods in the hands of the Human Emperor.

In an instant, the Investiture of the Gods shone brightly, with its runes constantly changing, and Lu Ya's true name appeared on the scroll.

Lu Ya let out a muffled groan, his breath growing weaker and his face becoming increasingly pale.

However, now that I am at their mercy, he dared not say anything more.

As the Human Emperor observed the changes in the Investiture of the Gods, he carefully comprehended the workings of the Heavenly Dao laws, and a look of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

'Is this the Investiture of the Gods? It's truly domineering! No wonder the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Moral Heavenly Lord didn't allow the Heavenly Emperor of Time to fully control this celestial artifact!'

'If one could truly wield complete control of this Heavenly Dao artifact, the Heavenly Emperor of Time would have a completely intact Heavenly Dao authority, truly ruling the ancient Heavenly Court, gathering the fortune of all the myriad realms, and perhaps even becoming an ancient being. Why then covet the fruit of the Jianmu tree!'

'Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor of the primordial era possessed complete authority over the Heavenly Dao. No wonder even seasoned beings from the otherworld like the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi coveted the position of Heavenly Emperor!'

'If I were to achieve the unification of humanity and rule the heavens, embracing the authority of the Five Ancient Emperors with the throne of the Human Emperor, and possessing the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip, I could not only ascend to the other shore, but also use this opportunity to gather the fortune of all the heavens and myriad realms, paving the way to become an ancient being.'

After a moment, the Human Emperor retracted his Human Emperor Sword, looked at Lu Ya, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Lu Ya, the Investiture of the Gods world has an extraordinary origin. You shall continue to guard this world."

Lu Ya forced a smile and said respectfully, "I will obey Your Majesty's orders."

"Ah."

The Emperor nodded without saying anything more.

Anyway, it's just a side move. If we can use this to trick the Demon Buddha and make him put on a show of filial piety, that would be best.

As thoughts raced through his mind, the Human Emperor glanced at the sky, contemplating the laws of this world, and vaguely sensed something.

However, he did not investigate further, lest he cause any misunderstanding with the Three Pure Ones.

A moment later, he moved his feet, and the space around him became hazy. He stepped into it and disappeared.

"Hey"

Seeing the Human Emperor's figure disappear, Lu Ya couldn't help but sigh.

If I had known, I would have just handed over the Investiture of the Gods. I wouldn't have been controlled by others like this, and I might even have gained some favors.

But who could have imagined that this human emperor would be so powerful!
If Lu Ya had known beforehand that the opponent already possessed some of the combat strength of the Other Shore, he wouldn't have even shown himself; instead, he would have simply abandoned this stronghold.

After sighing for a moment, Lu Ya glanced at the distant sky and earth, then transformed back into a vermilion gourd and returned to the crow's nest.

The world of Investiture of the Gods, the royal palace of the Kingdom of Qi.

In a quiet room, Duke Huan of Qi, who was practicing meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise and uncertainty in them: "The God-Slaying Whip!"

Before he could finish speaking, he looked at the jade slip that had appeared in front of him at some unknown time. After pondering for a moment, he reached out and picked it up, immersing himself in it.

"Human Immortals, Earthly Immortals, Celestial Immortals—all realms are one legend, the sea of ​​suffering transforms into the other shore."

A series of slightly excited voices rang out from his mouth, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face, as if he were immersed in the insights into the Great Dao recorded in the jade slip.

After an unknown amount of time, Duke Huan of Qi withdrew his attention from the jade slip, gripping it tightly as if he had grasped the great path to his future.

"I see."

With a soft sigh, Duke Huan of Qi revealed a look of understanding, and completely put aside the matter of the God-Slaying Whip.
