The Fuxi Road of the Heavens Beginning from the Immortal Realm

Chapter 272 The Ancient Buddha's Scheme: Humanity's Rule Over Heaven
Nine Netherworlds.

The Realm of Luofeng, the Dark Prison of Xuanming.

A pitch-black mountain formed from endless death and ghostly energy sits in the center of this realm, extremely cold and gloomy, like the source of the ghosts and spirits of the Netherworld, carrying a bit of the original Dao intent that was formed innately.

This place was also a near-path that was born at the beginning of this era along with the Nine Netherworlds. It was as famous as the Underworld Sea, the Blood Sea, and the Yellow Springs. It was here that the first ghost of this era, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor, was born.

He is one of the few pseudo-other shores in the Nine Netherworld, and is a great figure at the very top of the Nine Netherworld.

Even before the Demon Lord ascended to the other shore, this Xuanming Ghost Emperor was stronger than the Demon Lord and was one of the oldest beings in the Nine Netherworlds.

Just then, the river of time in the Luo Feng Realm was suddenly stirred up, carrying a sense of evil and madness.

The dark mountain peak dimmed slightly, and a dark and hazy figure rose from it.

This figure exuded a cold, filthy, and deathly ethereal aura, making the entire Luo Feng Realm seem like a ghostly wasteland. It was none other than the Xuanming Ghost Emperor.

Xuanming Ghost Emperor looked at the eerily transformed River of Time around him, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Black Heaven Emperor, what brings you to my Luo Feng Ghost Prison?"

The moment His words fell, the River of Time became increasingly sinister and chaotic. A figure filled with the meaning of decay, apocalypse, and decline emerged from the River of Time. It was the pseudo-Other Shore, the Black Emperor, born from the negative aspects of time.

Upon seeing the figure of the Black Heaven Emperor, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor revealed a hint of wariness in his eyes, clearly showing great fear of this mysterious old fellow.

"hey-hey."

The Black Emperor chuckled, causing the entire River of Time to dim, and said, "Naturally, it's for the Demon Buddha, the demon who destroys the world. Fellow Daoist Xuanming, do you really think that the Demon Buddha entered the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld just to absorb the various negative energies of the Nine Netherworld and restore his own cultivation?"

Xuanming Ghost Emperor's expression hardened slightly. He certainly didn't believe that the Demon Buddha was merely trying to recover from his own losses, but he couldn't figure out the Demon Buddha's true purpose and didn't understand what the other party wanted to do.

With a thought racing through his mind, he turned his gaze to the old man before him and asked, "Black Heavenly Emperor, what do you mean by that?"

The Black Emperor stepped forward, his expression turning solemn, and said, "I think we can no longer let the Demon Buddha remain in the Nine Netherworld. We should work together to expel him from the Nine Netherworld."

'Um? '

Xuanming Ghost Emperor was slightly taken aback, his expression turning somewhat strange. He said in an enigmatic tone, "When I invited you to join forces against the Demon Buddha, you clearly refused. Now, however, you're inviting me to join you against the Demon Buddha. Black Heaven Emperor, what exactly do you mean by this?"

The Black Emperor sighed softly and said, "At first, I didn't know the true purpose of the Demon Buddha and was worried that I would be tricked by Him, so I didn't take action for the time being. But now I understand the true purpose of this world-destroying demon."

"Oh!"

Xuanming Ghost Emperor's eyes brightened slightly, and he quickly said, "Please speak plainly, fellow Daoist, what exactly is the Demon Buddha's purpose?"

The Black Emperor looked at the Xuanming Ghost Emperor with a grim expression and said, word by word, "He wants to devour the Nine Netherworlds, replace the position of the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable, and become the symbol of the end of all the heavens and myriad realms, triggering the final calamity ahead of time and bringing the end of the world to an early date."

The moment the words fell, the gaze of the river of time surrounding the Black Emperor changed slightly, and the river of time around him shifted violently, revealing many different future scenes.

"what?"

Xuanming Ghost Emperor let out a cry of surprise, his eyes revealing extreme shock and anger.

These pseudo-Otherworld beings are deeply bound to the Nine Netherworlds, or rather, they are able to possess this realm precisely because of the blessing of the Nine Netherworlds' will.

Once the Nine Netherworlds are devoured by the Demon Buddha, they will completely lose their current realm unless they submit to the Demon Buddha.

At that time, these evil gods of the Nine Netherworlds might even become food for the Demon Buddha.

As thoughts raced through his mind, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor was involuntarily drawn to the scenes within the river of time and space surrounding the Black Heaven Emperor.

It was a dark red inverted swastika, resembling a writhing abyss maw that swallowed up all the realms of the Nine Netherworlds, digesting nearby places such as Luo Feng Black Prison, the Nine Netherworld Blood Sea, the Origin of Life and Death, and the Netherworld Demon Pool.

Looking at this dark red reverse swastika, even the pseudo-other shore Xuanming Ghost Emperor felt a chill in his heart, as if he had become food for it.

Just then, the dark red reverse swastika in the River of Time suddenly became chaotic, and actually stretched out of the River of Time, transforming into a palm full of depravity and madness, which fell towards the Xuanming Ghost Emperor's brow.

The dark red inverted swastika symbol is located in the center of the palm, representing the third move of "The Tathagata's Reversed Palm," which is "Abandoning Sagehood and Wisdom."

'not good! '

The Xuanming Ghost Emperor's true spiritual light blurred for a moment, as if it had been corrupted, and even his thinking became a little sluggish.

'The Black Emperor is connected to the Demon Buddha!'

As this thought surfaced in his mind, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor's face revealed an expression of extreme shock and anger. His aura instantly surged, directly drawing upon the power of the entire Luo Feng Black Prison, transforming into a colossal creature covered in layers of Yin energy and death intent.

Buzz

The river of time flowed around him, and his figure instantly fled into the river of time, trying to escape this palm strike.

But at that moment, whirlpools suddenly appeared in the River of Time, filled with the meaning of decay, decline, and apocalypse. A pitch-black hand that absorbs the power of time reached into the River of Time and blocked the Xuanming Ghost Emperor.

"Black Emperor"

The Xuanming Ghost Emperor let out a furious roar.

He never expected that the Black Emperor would choose to cooperate with the Demon Buddha, a world-destroying demon with a history of betrayal.

Doesn't He worry that once the Demon Buddha takes control of the Nine Netherworlds, He himself will be devoured by it?
boom

An unprecedented sense of crisis struck. Xuanming Ghost Emperor had no time to think too much. He operated his own Great Dao at an excessive capacity, doing his best to resist the combined attack of the dark red swastika and the pitch-black palm.

But at that moment, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis and instinctively looked towards the beginning of the Nine Netherworld.

When the Nine Netherworlds were born, turbid energy sank down, and darkness condensed, connecting with various Great Daos to form various places close to the Dao, giving birth to the first batch of innate evil gods who were inspired by the Great Dao of the Nine Netherworlds.

Deep within the Luo Feng Black Prison, ice, decay, and the Great Dao of Yin Souls converged, forming the first innate ghost of this era, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor.

Buzz

Mysterious light flowed, forming six deep and inexplicable vortexes, seemingly containing the reincarnation of all living beings in the myriad realms.

A ghost emperor dressed in a black imperial robe appeared at the beginning of the Nine Netherworlds, holding a mysterious small seal in his hand that was circulating with the power of reincarnation.

"Emperor Fengdu!"

Xuanming Ghost Emperor let out a startled cry, vaguely understanding something.

boom

In an instant, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor disregarded his own life and launched his most frenzied attack, attempting to temporarily force back the Black Heaven Emperor and the dark red reverse swastika.

Unfortunately, facing the attacks of the Demon Buddha and the Black Emperor, He, a mere pseudo-otherworldly being, could only barely hold them off, let alone force them to retreat.

At the beginning of the Nine Netherworlds, the divine light of the Reincarnation Seal flowed and fell directly into the Luo Feng Ghost Prison, into the core of the Xuanming Ghost Emperor who was being conceived.

Subsequently, the Great Emperor of Fengdu appeared in the Luofeng Ghost Prison, using the Reincarnation Seal as a bridge to continuously absorb the Great Dao and Origin belonging to the pseudo-Other Shore, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor, and perfect his own Great Dao.

Both are ghost emperors, just different lords of the underworld, so their paths are very compatible and there is almost no resistance between them.

"No"

The long river of time in the Nine Netherworlds trembled, and the Xuanming Ghost Emperor at the current point in time let out a shrill scream, but he was powerless to truly stop it.

This is the most fundamental difference between the pseudo-Other Shore and the Other Shore. Although the pseudo-Other Shore, with the blessing of the Nine Netherworld Will, sublimates its own illusory Great Dao and condenses a false half-step Dao Fruit, possessing the realm of the Other Shore, and can trace back to the past and future, returning to every point in time in the past, it has not truly transcended the river of time and space. Unlike the Other Shore, whose timeline converges into one and who is the Other Shore at every point in time, there is no time when they are weak.

Therefore, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor at this point in time is being blocked and can only watch as his past self is gradually replaced.

The piercing scream hadn't even fully subsided when it abruptly stopped.

The next moment, the river of time shifted, and the past history changed accordingly. He had been replaced by people since the day he was born, and it was not until the present moment that he truly realized himself.

The figure of the Xuanming Ghost Emperor also changed, transforming into a Ghost Emperor clad in a black imperial robe, majestic and aloof, bearing a resemblance to the Black Heaven Emperor. "Don't forget your promise!"

A deep, frenzied voice rang out, and a dark red inverted swastika symbol plunged into the river of time and space, disappearing without a trace.

"rest assured."

A smile appeared on the face of the Black Emperor, then he looked at the Great Emperor of Fengdu, smiled slightly, and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on achieving complete perfection!"

The Emperor of Fengdu nodded slightly, a smile also appearing on his face: "We are one, so we should share this joy!"

Just as the Xuanming Ghost Emperor was being besieged by the Black Heaven Emperor, the Fengdu Emperor, and the Demon Buddha, a barely perceptible vortex suddenly appeared deep within the Yellow Springs, where the intent of life and death flowed. A Taoist priest dressed in a tortoise-snake robe stepped out from within it.

He glanced at the Yellow Springs behind him, sighed slightly, and with a swift movement, vanished from the Netherworld.

The Blood Sea of ​​the Nine Netherworlds.

A blood-red figure stood there, his body exuding an aura of bloodlust, devouring, dissolving, and plundering. He was none other than the Nine Netherworld Blood Demon, one of the pseudo-other shores of the Nine Netherworld.

However, at the deepest part of this crimson color, a trace of chaos faintly emerges, encompassing all things, as if this trace of chaos is its essence.

Just then, the Nine Nether Blood Demon's expression changed, and he suddenly looked towards the River of Time: "Black Heaven Emperor!"

Just as He was about to move, He suddenly sensed an indescribable sense of danger.

The next moment, pairs of extremely malevolent eyes appeared around Him, crazy and cruel, with dark red swastikas faintly emerging in them.

"Magic Buddha."

In the Pure Land of Bodhi.

Beneath the ancient and vigorous Bodhi tree, a crystal-clear lapis lazuli Buddha sits cross-legged, surrounded by the pure and wise light of the Bodhi tree.

Just then, an inexplicable fluctuation emerged from the body of the Azure Buddha, carrying a sense of perfection and flawlessness, making His aura even more unpredictable.

But before He could show any joy on His face, He suddenly turned His gaze to the Real World, a hint of surprise in His eyes.

"The Human Emperor."

At the moment when the history of the Nine Netherworlds changed, among all the heavens and myriad realms, the eyes of those on the other shores flickered as they looked toward the Nine Netherworlds.

As the timeline shifted, parts of the future timeline hidden by the ancient Buddha Bodhi were exposed to many beings on the other side, allowing them to understand the secret of this ancient Buddha.

"Not only is the Fengdu Emperor one of the three corpses of the Bodhi Ancient Buddha, but the Black Heaven Emperor is also one of the three corpses that this ancient Buddha hid the deepest!"

"I see!"

One by one, those who had reached the other shore gained a sense of enlightenment, understanding the reason why this ancient Buddha was cooperating with the demon Buddha.

All those who have reached the other shore know that from this day forward, the Great Way of Bodhi Buddha has been completely perfected. Even if he is not as good as the Moral Celestial Venerable or Amitabha Buddha, he is qualified to compete for the position of Dao Fruit in this era.

Just then, many of the Other Shore beings seemed to have discovered something and looked towards the Real World.

"The Human Emperor."

In the real world, in the capital city, deep within the imperial palace.

The Human Emperor sat on the throne, holding the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip. Humanity's radiance gathered around him, and countless cosmic phantoms floated behind him, as if he held the power over all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Just as the Nine Netherworlds were undergoing a change, he suddenly opened his eyes, and countless divine runes flowed within his double pupils, illuminating the entire hall.

'it's time! '

Buzz

The moment the words fell, the Human Emperor released his hands, and the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip instantly merged, transforming into a beam of divine light that landed on the nine-story altar of the Divine Capital and entered the core hub of the altar.

boom

The Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip alone are not particularly powerful, but after the two are combined, they undergo a fundamental transformation, as if they have become the embodiment of the rules of Heaven.

Countless rays of human glory and the authority of the heavens converged, connecting the entire myriad realms, transforming into a magnificent pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, as if penetrating the entire myriad realms.

In an instant, throughout the myriad realms, the spiritual senses of countless powerful beings trembled as they looked toward the core of the Realm and beheld the magnificent pillar of light that connected Heaven, Earth, and Man.

"Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip"

"So the Human Emperor is indeed going to follow the path of human rule and rule the heavens?"

"What grand ambitions!"

"If I could also wield power over the Nine Netherworlds, then..."

Before their thoughts could fully settle, a figure dressed in a black imperial robe and holding a pale gold longsword appeared on the altar.

Surrounded by the power of all living beings and gathered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, this figure exuded a sacred and majestic aura, resembling both the emperor of humanity and the ruler of the Heavenly Dao.

Whether they are immortals, gods, demons, or ordinary humans, the moment they see this figure, they feel a deep sense of awe.

The Human Emperor stood atop the nine-tiered altar, holding the Human Emperor Sword, and slowly spoke: "Humanity is Heaven, ruling over the four corners of the world."

boom

Before his words had even finished, the sky changed color, boundless purple energy gathered, and at the same time, endless thunder spread, with merit, fortune, and heavenly punishment and tribulation coexisting.

Just then, the five small altars next to the nine-tiered altar, representing the five emperors of the five directions, suddenly lit up, and the patterns painted on them lit up one by one.

bang
The world changed color as five magnificent figures clad in imperial robes appeared in the sky, standing in the five directions of heaven and earth. Their indifferent gazes looked down at the human emperor on the nine-tiered altar below, representing the manifestation of the Great Dao that embodied the authority of the five emperors of the five directions.

Buzz

The next moment, the eyes of the five figures changed slightly, the indifference in their eyes disappeared, and each of them showed different emotions.

Seeing this, many powerful individuals showed expressions of anticipation and enjoyment.

This human emperor, before even reaching the other shore, actually wanted to rule the world with human principles.

That's bad enough, but he actually wanted to use his position as the Human Emperor to encompass the power of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions and become the sole emperor of all the heavens and myriad realms. His ambition was far too great, and he simply didn't take the Five Emperors of the Five Directions seriously.

If the positions of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions had not been occupied by anyone, it would be fine, but now the Five Emperors of the Five Directions all exist in the world.

More importantly, among the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, there are four true beings of the other shore, including even the Heavenly Emperor of Time, who once dominated an era.

How could these supreme beings possibly be subordinate to a human emperor?
Within the realm of Fusang.

The Azure Emperor's body gazed intently at the Human Emperor's body above the Divine Capital. Its aura perfectly matched the ancient Fusang tree beneath it, clearly indicating that it had completely refined this spiritual root, comparable to the Jianmu tree, and truly become the companion deity of this ancient tree.

Beside him, Feng Yi's true form also looked towards the real world and saw the changes in his Human Emperor body.

"let's start!"

At this moment, Feng Yi's true form had reached its limit, as if it had reached the end of the road, and was only one step away from stepping into a new level.

"Ah."

The Azure Emperor nodded, and with a thought, a divine light composed of countless Dao runes appeared within his body.

At the same time, in the sky above the capital, the figures of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions also changed, with each of them having a power containing countless principles of heaven constantly converging within them.
