Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 185 Donghua Fights Against All Beings

Above the Purple Palace and the Azure Sea, the Queen Mother of the West sat serenely upon a twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus.

Wearing a golden crown adorned with purple gemstones, her hair was simply tied back and flowed naturally. She wore a long silver-purple robe with flowing ribbons, shimmering with celestial light and reflecting nine-colored radiance.

With her graceful and dignified bearing, she truly deserves to be called the queen of female immortals!

The Kunlun Mirror, a treasure of time and space, floated behind him, emitting a five-colored radiance that illuminated the heavens.

The top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Tribulation Banner, stood before him, its power of tribulation spreading out and transforming into rolling heavenly thunder. The Great Dao of Heavenly Tribulation ascended from the Purple Mansion, soaring straight to the Nine Heavens.

Three flowers appeared above his head, and several magical treasures on them emitted light, reflecting the three flowers.

The three thousand Great Daos transformed into three thousand divine wheels of laws, emanating from the body and soaring into the heavens layer upon layer, revealing a true divine form.

Numerous Quasi-Saints from the Purple Mansion, along with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden of Xikunlun and the Four Divine Beasts, stood in eight directions, ready for battle.

Donghua, dressed in a black imperial robe with gold patterns, stood atop Jingyang Palace with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, quietly waiting for something.

Meanwhile, the Queen Mother of the West closed her eyes slightly, quietly comprehending the Great Dao, communicating with the Heavenly Dao through the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao.

At a certain moment, the Queen Mother of the West opened her eyes, and two beams of purple light shone out, traversing the sky and reaching the highest heavens.

Then, stepping on a white lotus, he ascended into the sky, while the Heavenly Tribulation Banner in front of him swelled in the wind and soared into the sky, the two standing in the heavens.

Above the nine heavens, the Eye of Heaven appears, illuminating the primordial world and all the universes.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

The Queen Mother of the West began to explain the reasons for establishing the Heavenly Punishment. Her voice was melodious and ancient, as if the Great Dao itself was whispering, devoid of any emotion.

"Since Pangu separated heaven and earth, the primordial world was formed, the Great Dao appeared, ferocious beasts emerged, and the divine path began!"

"In the primordial chaos, there was a Dao, and the gods were one with the Dao. All living beings cultivated the Dao of the gods, thus governing the primordial world."

"Then, many innate deities such as the Immortal Ancestor Hongjun, the Demon Ancestor Luohou, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Qiankun, Kunwu, the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin were born to eliminate evil spirits, destroy ferocious beasts, and bestow grace upon the primordial world."

"Then the three races emerged, vying for supremacy and governing the primordial world. But in the end, they only cultivated supernatural powers and not merits. Driven by their own selfish desires, they launched a massive war, causing the earth, fire, water, and wind to reappear in the world, until the three races retreated."

"Later came the Demon Ancestor Rahu, who launched a world-destroying war to prove his Dao and become a saint, slaughtering gods and destroying living beings, showing no signs of great power."

"With the help of many powerful beings such as the Immortal Ancestor Hongjun, Yin Yang, Qiankun, Donghua, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Ziwei, the demon race was destroyed, the demonic path was eradicated, and the demon ancestor was killed, so that all living beings could finally find peace."

"Then the Heavenly Dao emerged, the Great Dao disappeared, the Immortal Ancestor Hongjun attained sainthood and preached the Three Lectures at Zixiao Palace, widely spreading the Great Dao to all living beings, and the Great Immortal Era descended."

"The demon Emperor Jun and the witch Emperor Jiang were vying for supremacy in the primordial world. In pursuit of their ambitions, they slaughtered all races and disregarded the lives of ordinary people."

"There is the head of the male immortals, the Eastern Wood Duke, the Purple Palace Eastern Emperor, who destroyed the demon Emperor Jun and restored peace to all living beings."

"To this day, all beings only seek the Great Way and do not cultivate merit. Heaven and Earth provide for all beings, but people give back nothing to Heaven and Earth."

At this point, the Queen Mother of the West paused, as if she were thinking about something, or perhaps brewing something.

Donghua stood with his hands behind his back, appearing outwardly calm, but his hands trembled occasionally, revealing the turmoil within him.

Because the Queen Mother of the West was too outspoken. Although much of what he said was taught to her, he absolutely did not allow her to start from the creation of the world by Pangu, nor did he criticize the many powerful beings of the primordial era.

He was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on and withstand the calamity, but the reason why the Queen Mother of the West established the Heavenly Punishment had already been stated, and with the Heavenly Dao as witness, how could she possibly go back on her word!

Hopefully, there will be fewer attacks later!

These words have already spread throughout the primordial world through the Heavenly Dao, and all sentient beings can hear their voices and understand their meaning.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West seemed to have finished her preparation and continued speaking.

"Heaven above, the Lord of the Western Kunlun, the head of the female immortals, the Western Golden Mother Taizhen, is willing to use the Heavenly Tribulation Banner, a supreme treasure of thunder tribulation, to establish a great tribulation of heaven and earth, to draw out heavenly punishment, to restrain all living beings, to widely cultivate merit, and to bring blessings to the primordial world."

"All living beings who have not yet attained the Primordial Chaos realm are subject to Heavenly Punishment. Those who have not yet attained the Great Luo realm are subject to Thunder Tribulation."

Those who attain the Primordial Dao have transcended the other shore and are not subject to any restrictions. If there are truly evildoers, they will be punished by the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial World and by the Great Dao in the Chaos, and will not be subject to Heavenly Punishment.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal has already attained enlightenment and should not be subject to the tribulation of heaven and earth unless a great calamity is about to occur.

As soon as these words were spoken, the many powerful beings from the primordial world who were watching all changed color. They had not expected that the Heavenly Punishment would include them as well.

As for the tribulation lightning under divine punishment, everyone automatically ignored it, since it had nothing to do with them.

In the celestial realm, Donghuang Taiyi sat high on his platform. Upon hearing west Wangmu's words, he roared, "You lowly wretch, you dare to challenge me!"

He then made his move directly, summoning the Chaos Bell, unleashing boundless magical power, circulating the power of the Great Dao, and receiving the blessing of the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Celestial Realm.

The Chaos Bell pierced through the sky, emerging from the celestial realm and descending directly into the Purple Palace of the East Sea. Wherever it passed, earth, fire, water, and wind evolved, forming a destructive force that attacked the Queen Mother of the West.

Donghua stood atop Jingyang Palace, then soared into the air, manifesting the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image, before unleashing a punch.

Facing the Chaos Bell, he did not use any spiritual treasures, but relied solely on his physical body, his Dharma form, and the power of the Great Dao.

This time, he will stand up to Donghuang Taiyi and Chaos Bell head-on!

When man and nature become one, the three thousand Great Dao Divine Wheels turn, the Imperial Way is majestic, and with one punch, all Daos submit!

A punch shot into the sky, meeting the Chaos Bell in the heavens. After a fierce collision, the outcome was decided instantly, without much entanglement, only a complete crushing defeat.

Donghuang Taiyi's attack was instantly thwarted, and the Chaos Bell was sent back to the Heavenly Realm.

Taiyi is defeated!

Those who witnessed it were all astonished; this scene was truly breathtaking. This was the Chaos Bell, and this was Donghuang Taiyi!

Although everyone expected Donghuang Taiyi to lose, they did not expect him to lose so badly and so easily, as if the two were no longer on the same level.

As for Donghua's punch, they could only describe it as simple, brilliant, and powerful, because many people didn't understand it!

Donghua was not at ease either. His entire arm was trembling from colliding with the Chaos Bell. He had used almost all of his abilities to deliver this punch, including the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth, the Three Thousand Great Daos, and the True Body of the Heavenly Emperor.

With the disappearance of the Chaos Bell, no one in the Heavenly Realm intervened anymore. After all, it was merely a tribulation to establish Heavenly Punishment, not a true life-or-death tribulation, so there would be no endless intervention.

However, as Donghuang Taiyi stopped, several more beams of light came from Buzhou, and ten attacks, including those of time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, and lightning, arrived one after another.

Instantaneous killing across time and space, the siege of the five elements, countless thunderbolts streaking across the sky, and flashes of purple lightning—at this moment, the Purple Mansion seemed to have returned to the scene of the last great battle.

Dijiang and Zhujiuyin's time-space forces were the first to attack, and the two cooperated to form a time-space suppression force. The power of all heavens was hidden under the light of time, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

It seems to be neither here nor there!

"Zhu Jiuyin's strength has increased!"

Upon seeing this, Donghua immediately realized that Zhujiuyin's strength had increased significantly, but he wondered if she had broken through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

"These barbarians are truly blessed by nature; they're the envy of everyone!"

Donghua stood tall in the sky, his hands behind his back, seemingly unconcerned about the attack from the Ancestral Witch.

At a certain moment, he simply took a step forward, but with that one step, the world instantly underwent a tremendous change.

The Heavenly Emperor's true form unleashed its great divine power, traversing time and space. The perfected Dao of Time combined with this power, emanating an invisible wave that caused spacetime to freeze and all laws to cease to exist.

The power of the heavens to suppress and kill, hidden within time, was instantly exposed, but vanished as Donghua took a step forward.

Spacetime versus spacetime!

Donghua versus Dijiang and Zhujiuyin!

This time, Donghua won decisively!

The fluctuations of time continued unabated, spreading until all the attacks of the Ancestral Witches were wiped out. One person against ten—an unbelievable thing happened.

At this moment, the entire primordial world seemed to freeze, and everyone could hardly believe what they were seeing.

It's simply unbelievable that Donghua single-handedly defeated the attacks of the Ten Ancestral Witches, and even did so using the power of time itself.

"Big brother, Donghua has become stronger again, very strong!"

In the Kunlun Mountains, Yuanshi looked at this scene with a slightly gloomy expression. The Three Pure Ones had always been the leaders among their peers, but this time they were first surpassed by Nuwa and then by Donghua, which was really embarrassing for them.

The Supreme Being stroked his beard and chuckled, saying, "It's alright. Donghua is currently blessed with good fortune and favored by heaven and earth, so he will naturally have his own destiny. But he can only go this far."

"If he walks the path of God, he is destined to go to the battlefield and fight. If he cannot win, his path will come to an end."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi nodded slowly. He understood the reasoning behind it, but seeing Donghua's current strength still left him feeling somewhat resentful.

Tongtian laughed and looked at Donghua in the Purple Mansion, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"I've always wanted to test Junior Brother Donghua's current strength, and this is a rare opportunity. Eldest brother, second brother, I'll make the first move."

After Tongtian finished speaking, he summoned the Qingping Sword. The Great Dao was activated, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword Dao burst forth. The sword energy transformed into a long river, starting from Kunlun Mountain and heading straight for the Purple Mansion. No power leaked out wherever it passed.

Donghua, who was in the Purple Mansion, also sensed it. Holding the Pure Yang Sword in his hand, he channeled the power of the Emperor's Way into the sword and unleashed three consecutive sword strikes, three majestic sword energies.

See the world, see all living beings, and see yourself!

The Emperor's power, imbued with three different sword intents, collided with the Heaven-Reaching River of Sword Qi above the East Sea.

The two sword techniques began to clash, but before long, Donghua's sword technique was pierced by the long river, and his sword energy disappeared, leaving only the power of the Emperor's Way.

The power of the Emperor's Way surged forward relentlessly, utterly shattering the towering river of sword energy.

"Junior Brother Donghua, what do you think of this sword?"

A melodious voice originated from Kunlun and resounded in the Purple Mansion.

Donghua smiled and said, "Magnificent, Tongtian Daojun! I am no match for you!"

Indeed, that was the case. He lost the swordsmanship contest once again, and in the end, he used the power of the Emperor's Way to shatter the long river.

Tongtian laughed heartily on Kunlun Mountain, completely unconcerned that his attack had been shattered by Donghua, as if it were all within his expectations.

Because this sword strike was simply the power of swordsmanship, Tongtian had truly mastered the art of manipulation.

He won; his swordsmanship surpassed Donghua's.

Losing is not a loss. If you don't even have this much confidence, what's the point of Tongtian playing with the sword?

When Yuanshi and Taishang of Kunlun Mountain saw this, they understood that this was a brilliant move.

It would be unreasonable not to make a move this time, but if we go all out, it would seem heartless, and we would lose face if we lost. So, it would be just right to compete in terms of skill.

By using their strongest skills, they could not only win but also save face and maintain goodwill. With this in mind, Yuanshi and Taishang also began to make their moves.

The Supreme Being waved his whisk, and a Taiji diagram stretched across the sky, pressing down upon them.

Yuanshi lightly touched the jade ruyi, and the boundless intent emanated, forming a great sun that came to suppress and kill.

Donghua understood this and confronted the Dao accordingly.

Undoubtedly, the contest of the Great Dao was lost, but the attack was also thwarted.

Donghua also gave the three of them face, saying softly, "My three senior brothers are very skilled. Thank you for holding back."

With the attack over, it seemed everyone started to take action: Nuwa, Kunpeng, Styx, and even some old monsters from among the myriad races.

The intervention of the Three Pure Ones seemed to be a signal, prompting powerful beings from all sides of the world to take action, some with the power of a Great Luo Immortal and others with the power of a Quasi-Saint.

Donghua only fought against a portion of these attacks, leaving the rest to Zifu and Xikunlun.

Donghua stood atop the sky, watching the attacks coming from all directions. Nuwa's red embroidered ball, Kunpeng's Demon Master Palace, Styx's Abi Yuantu swords, and various other attack forces were all at the mid or late stage of Quasi-Saint level, with some even possessing the power of the peak Quasi-Saint level.

But facing all these attacks, Donghua showed no fear. He transformed his Pure Yang Sword into countless swords, unleashing sword energy and punches to meet the enemies from all directions.

The Three Thousand Great Dao Divine Wheels circulated to their limit, and the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image hung high above the Purple Mansion. With all sorts of methods employed, they finally shattered all the attacks.

At this moment, Donghua felt extremely exhausted, and it seemed as if the power of the two great heavens, Ziqing and Zishuang, had been completely drained.

But the human calamity has ended!

High above the nine heavens, the Eye of Heaven hangs high, drawing upon the will of heaven and earth and all living beings, seemingly brewing something.

Just then, the calamity of the underworld finally arrived, and it came all at once. On Mount Tai, Houtu revealed her true form, and the Netherworld of the underworld appeared out of nowhere, forming a world with the power of the underworld.

With the help of Houtu, the Earthly Path launched a full-scale attack, empowering the world with the power of the Great Dao, transforming it into boundless power of rules, which descended upon the East Sea.

Meanwhile, Yuanzi of Wanshoushan Town also made his move, and had no choice but to, because this was a true test.

The Earth Book evolved into the Great Dao, transforming into the Earth's membrane, which then nurtured and manifested the power of the world, forming the power to suppress and kill all the heavens.

The simultaneous arrival of attacks from both sides in the East China Sea was not surprising to Donghua, as it was something he had anticipated.

This time, Donghua held back. His inner power ignited, and the Dragon Head Golden Staff and the Kongtong Seal appeared. The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image and the Heavenly Emperor's True Body operated simultaneously, and the Emperor's Path carried out the three thousand Great Daos.

The dragon-headed golden staff transformed into a golden dragon, pressing down on the ancient past and crashing into the earthly rules of Houtu.

The Kongtong Seal also formed a world of myriad realms, heading towards Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book.

Four different forces met on the East China Sea, instantly stirring up boundless waves.

Two loud "booms!" rang out.

The seawater is flowing backwards!

Cut off the river and the sea!

Two natural barriers appeared over the East China Sea, dividing it into four parts.

However, the authentic killing power was not over yet. After quelling Donghua's attack, it once again attacked west Wangmu.

Donghua soared into the sky, the Three Thousand Great Dao Divine Wheels spun, the Heavenly Emperor's true form was pushed to its limit, and the two paths of time and space reappeared.

"The Heavenly Emperor treads upon time!"

With a single step, the two attacks finally succumbed and were obliterated by time and space. The East Sea calmed down, and all the attacks vanished into nothingness.

The calamity of the underground tunnels has ended!

At this moment, Donghua also began to pant, with not a trace of magic power left in his body. He was completely exhausted. He had to exert all his strength in just a few waves of attacks, especially the tribulation in the underground passage, which was truly terrifying!

Houtu and Zhenyuanzi were not as strong as Donghua, but with the blessing of the Earthly Dao, each of them was at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level.

This is a calamity. The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. There will always be a glimmer of hope. The power of the calamity has not exceeded the scope of a Quasi-Saint.

But it's all over now. Donghua has won this battle. The Earthly Tribulation and the Human Tribulation are over. What remains is the Heavenly Question.

Donghua landed on Jingyang Palace again, looking at the Queen Mother of the West above the blue sea.

The Way of Heaven is still absorbing the will of all living beings!
