Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

The golden body of Maitreya radiated brilliant light, with three relics surrounding it, protecting it under the light of the relics.

His once-smiling face was now gone, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes. The human seed bag in his hand opened into a chaotic vortex, descending upon Chi You.

"Chi You, you escaped death in the Battle of Zhuolu back then, but today I will send you to meet your eighty-one brothers."

Chi You's tiger-like eyes widened, and the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand roared deafeningly. Eighty-one blood-red patterns appeared on the blade, formed from the essence and blood of the eighty-one brothers who died in battle.

He stood on the Nine Li Battle Formation, with the phantoms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches appearing behind him. Instead of retreating, he advanced and charged towards the Human Seed Bag.

"Maitreya Daoist, with your false saintly cultivation, you dare to spout nonsense in front of me, Chi You. Today, I, Chi You, will personally send you to the Investiture of the Gods."

The instant the blade collided with the chaotic vortex, a golden sword beam appeared out of nowhere. The Xuanyuan Sword, imbued with the aura of humanity, cleaved through the void, forcefully splitting a crack in the Human Seed Bag.

Chi You's Tiger Soul Blade seized the opportunity to strike, and eighty-one blood-red patterns transformed into a ferocious tiger head, biting towards Maitreya Daoist's throat.

Maitreya Daoist hastily summoned his golden cymbals to defend himself, but was forced back three steps. He looked up in astonishment and saw a man wearing a flat-topped crown and a black imperial robe walking through the air.

The man held the Xuanyuan Sword in his left hand and the Kongtong Seal in his right. The Xuan Bird Totem on his head had materialized. Although no cultivation level could be discerned, the immense fortune emanating from him made the Maitreya Taoist tremble involuntarily.

Maitreya Daoist quickly recognized the newcomer, his pupils constricting as he stared at him and said, "Di Xin, do you really dare to participate in such a battle? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Di Xin lightly flicked the tip of his sword, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Daoist Maitreya, if you have the guts, kill me today, otherwise don't waste your breath here."

After speaking, Di Xin bowed to Xuanyuan Huangdi and Chiyou and said, "Di Xin, the current ruler of the human race, greets Xuanyuan Huangdi and Chiyou, the ancestor of soldiers."

"I urge the two of you to join forces with Emperor Xin to kill this scoundrel. Otherwise, the Western Sect will not know its own limitations and dare to interfere in the affairs of my East."

A faint smile appeared on the faces of both the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. Then, together with Emperor Xin, they charged directly towards the Maitreya Taoist.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Daoist Duobao unleashed several innate spiritual treasures, simultaneously sending several disciples of the Jie Sect within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to the Investiture of the Gods.

Upon suddenly seeing Di Xin, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "What a fine emperor! With your courage alone, you are qualified to lead the human race."

The Styx Ancestor, riding a crimson lotus of karmic fire, was pursuing the fleeing disciples of the Chan Sect. Upon hearing Duobao Daoist's words, a glint of light flashed in his blood-red eyes.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Master ordered me to make a move at the crucial moment. Hongjun thought that by forcibly elevating two pseudo-saints, he could turn the tide, but little did he know that Emperor Xin was the real killer move."

It's no wonder that the Styx Ancestor acted this way, after all, Emperor Xin was the supreme ruler of humanity at that time. Even if Maitreya Daoist's cultivation was forcibly raised to the level of a saint, he still wouldn't dare to attack Emperor Xin.

Otherwise, the backlash from the human race's fortune would be enough to condemn Maitreya to eternal damnation. He might not even qualify for the Investiture of the Gods.

Maitreya Daoist naturally knew that he could not attack Di Xin, and cold sweat immediately began to bead on his forehead.

Finally, he steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and made a crazy decision. Then he spoke directly.

"Even if the Human Emperor himself comes, so what? Today I will destroy this Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and see how you can change the current situation without the help of the Earthly Saint's avatar."

Then, a relic flew out from the top of Maitreya's head, heading directly towards Chi You. A massive explosion followed. The destructive force of the relic's self-destruction swept through the great formation, shattering space like glass. Chi You groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the sword of extraordinary human destiny suddenly flew out of his hand, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon that pounced directly on Maitreya Daoist.

At the same time, he did not forget to say to Chi You, "Chi You, in the Battle of Zhuolu, you and I were opponents, but no victor was decided."

"Although we are fighting together today, we can also take this opportunity to determine who is superior. Let's see who can kill this Maitreya Taoist first."

Upon hearing this, Chi You's body trembled, and then he burst into laughter: "Very well, today I, Chi You, will compete with you. Let's see who is stronger."

The next moment, Chi You suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Tiger Soul Blade.

After absorbing the essence blood, the Tiger Soul Blade detached from the blade and formed an ancient array in the air.

At the same time, the Kongtong Seal above Emperor Xin's head shone brightly with golden light, transforming into nine phantom divine mountains guarding the eight directions. It also descended upon the head of the Maitreya Taoist.

Upon seeing this, Maitreya Daoist's expression finally changed. Without hesitation, he offered up the remaining two relics, sending them towards the Yellow Emperor and Chi You.

From beginning to end, Maitreya Daoist never dared to make a move against Emperor Xin. After all, Maitreya Daoist knew better than anyone that he simply could not bear the karmic consequences of killing the current human emperor.

So even though the remaining two relics exploded, Maitreya Daoist still used his golden cymbals to block Di Xin's path.

He feared that he might lose control of his power and cause Di Xin to suffer an undeserved calamity, thus leading to his own utter ruin.

It could even be said that Maitreya Daoist never took Di Xin seriously from beginning to end. After all, in Maitreya Daoist's eyes, Di Xin was just a slightly more powerful mortal.

The ingrained belief that the Human Emperor could not cultivate made Maitreya Daoist realize that Emperor Xin actually had the ability to kill him.

Unexpectedly, the Xuanyuan Sword in Di Xin's hand suddenly flew into the air. It then merged with the Xuan Bird totem and shot directly towards Maitreya Daoist's chest.

Even without Hongjun forcibly increasing his cultivation, the original Maitreya Daoist could have withstood Di Xin's attack based on the strength of his physical body.

However, the Maitreya Taoist has now detonated three relics in succession, which has caused him great backlash.

This also meant that he could no longer even dodge Di Xin's attack, let alone block it with his physical body.

Left with no other choice, he could only use the golden gong to block his way. But Maitreya Daoist felt that this was enough.

Therefore, he focused his attention on Chi You and the Yellow Emperor. Seeing that the two were already seriously injured, Maitreya Daoist couldn't help but smile.

Just then, Maitreya Daoist felt a burning sensation in his chest. He subconsciously looked down and found that the golden cymbal had shattered.

Even his own chest had been blasted open, leaving a gaping hole. His heart had been shredded to pieces by the Xuanyuan Sword.

His entire cultivation was devoured by the Xuan Bird totem. In the end, only a wisp of his true spirit remained, flying towards the Investiture of the Gods on the Qishan Investiture Platform. (End of Chapter)
