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

Chapter 336 Heavenly Court Prepares for War, Donghua Appears

In the chaos, the Queen Mother of the West looked at the path she had opened up. She could feel that she was very close to Donghua. As long as she broke through that red lightning, she would be able to see her brother.

However, just as the Three Pure Ones and others said, if he forcibly pulled and broke through the lightning, the divine lightning of the Great Dao that would descend would be incredibly powerful and would definitely not be as simple as it was before.

After all, none of them present could deal with the divine lightning that could trap their elder brother. If these seven saints were to go all out, they could naturally withstand it.

But let alone the Three Pure Ones, even Nuwa and Houtu would find it difficult to exert their full strength, and probably wouldn't want Donghua to escape his predicament as soon as possible, or rather, to survive.

Because whether Donghua is trapped or perishes, it is in their best interest in the prehistoric world.

But now, the Queen Mother of the West was really unwilling to give up. If she gave up like this, she didn't know what kind of situation her brother would face. She wanted to help him even if she could only do so much.

Nuwa stepped forward and gently patted the Queen Mother of the West on the shoulder.

"Sister Taizhen, now is not the time to act rashly. Being able to withstand the divine lightning of the Great Dao that just erupted is already the limit for us. If we force our way forward, we will have to use our last trump card, and even then, we may not be able to resist it."

Houtu glanced at west Wangmu without saying a word, but her eyes conveyed a desire for west Wangmu to give up for the time being.

The Queen Mother of the West was not yet at the Hunyuan level, so she naturally did not know that the final wave of Great Dao Divine Thunder was at the peak of the third level of Hunyuan. If they went any further, they would definitely face Great Dao Divine Thunder of the fourth level or above.

With their current cultivation level, they might not even be able to withstand a single divine lightning bolt.

Although the Third Heaven and the Fourth Heaven are only one realm apart, they are as different as heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West was in a state of utter confusion. She knew that with her cultivation alone, it was impossible to withstand the divine thunder of the Great Dao, nor was it possible to open up such a path.

If the seven saints give up, she has no choice but to give up as well.

Seeing the unwilling look in west Wangmu's eyes, Zhunti chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Taizhen, don't worry. With the Great Heavenly Venerable's cultivation, he should be fine. Besides, according to our calculations, he is probably cultivating, or perhaps just undergoing tribulation!"

Tongtian nodded and said, "That makes sense. We are not familiar with the realms above the Fourth Heaven, and we don't know how to cultivate there."

"There are only two possibilities for the mysterious appearance of the Great Dao lightning. The first is that Junior Brother Donghua has made a breakthrough in his cultivation and is undergoing tribulation. The second is that Junior Brother Donghua may have touched a taboo of the Great Dao during his cultivation, which is why he attracted the Great Dao lightning."

"I cultivate the Way of Intercepting Heaven, and I always believe that there is always a way out. No matter what the situation, there will be no certain death."

Hearing their words, the Queen Mother of the West's anxiety eased. Upon careful consideration, she realized that Tongtian's words made a lot of sense; she had indeed been too hasty.

"Thank you so much, fellow disciples. I am deeply grateful. I will definitely pay you a visit after you return."

"It's alright, it's alright!"

"It's nothing!"

"..."

After exchanging pleasantries, only Yuanshi and Taishang stared intently at the red lightning at the end of the road, lost in thought.

……

In the celestial realm, Donghua, the corpse of Chunyang, and the benevolent corpse of Yuanyang, both appeared at Jingyang Palace. At this moment, the two were also hesitating whether to recall the evil corpse of Jingyang.

Chunyang thought for a moment and said, "There's no rush. Let's stabilize the Heavenly Realm and the Primordial World first. Although we've lost contact with our original bodies, the Great Dao still exists, which proves that our original bodies are merely trapped and not in any life-threatening danger!"

Yuan Yang said, "That makes sense. After we stabilize the prehistoric world, you will take charge of the Heavenly Court, and I will go to the Chaos to find my original body and see if I can help you."

"good!"

"good!"

Although the three corpses are incarnations, they have a high degree of autonomy, just like the evil corpse of the Styx and its series of actions in the Demon Realm, and the series of actions of the Supreme Good Corpse, the Supreme Lord Laozi, in the Heavenly Court in the original timeline.

This is also the brilliance of the Three Corpses Technique created by Hongjun. It can not only enhance the cultivation of the Dao realm, but also differentiate into three powerful assistants. The three corpses are of one mind with the main body, have a high degree of autonomy, but are always under the control of the main body.

Because the Three Corpses are the manifestation of the Dao of the original body, if the original body dies, the Three Corpses will also cease to exist, and the cultivation of the Three Corpses will never surpass that of the original body. Whether or not to reclaim the Three Corpses is merely a matter of the original body's will.

In the Great Luo Heaven of the Celestial Realm, Chunyang sat high on the imperial throne, looking down at the group of immortals and gods below, including the Five Gods of the Five Directions such as Fuxi, Hongyun, Da Siming, Kunpeng, and Haotian, as well as the Emperors such as Shao Siming, Changxi, and Randeng.

Today, under Chunyang's summons, all the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court are here, including Hongyun, who is on temporary assignment, and Fuxi, who holds two positions, in the Lingxiao Palace.

Although Fuxi was reincarnated as the emperor of the human race, he was also one of the six great emperors of the Heavenly Court, and this position was not taken away because of Fuxi's reincarnation.

"Gentlemen, because my physical body has made progress in cultivation and is now comprehending the Dao in the Chaos, and the Heavenly Empress is also protecting the Dao in the Chaos, I have summoned you all here today to issue this decree in order to prevent villains from causing trouble!"

These words immediately caused quite a stir, and those close to the emperor began to discuss them. After all, this was the first time since the establishment of the Heavenly Court that neither the Heavenly Emperor nor the Heavenly Empress had been present there.

In addition, given the previous tremors in the celestial realm, some intelligent people knew that this matter was not simple, and dared not ask about it.

"quiet!"

Chunyang exuded a powerful Primordial Chaos aura, instantly silencing the Lingxiao Palace. Everyone trembled under the Primordial Chaos aura. This was the first time they had seen the Great Celestial Venerable become angry. Although it was an incarnation, as one of the Three Corpses, what difference was there between it and the original body?

Chunyang said in a deep voice, "From this moment on, the Heavenly Court will activate a level-two state of emergency. The Four Heavenly Kings will guard the four gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my decree."

The Four Heavenly Kings replied, "Your Majesty, we obey!"

The Four Heavenly Kings are Yingzhao, Kaiming Beast, Luwu, and Lizhu. They possess quasi-saint combat power and were personally appointed by Donghua when he ascended to the Heavenly Realm, enjoying the treatment of an emperor.

The Heavenly Court's state of preparedness is divided into three levels. The first level is almost a state of war, in which the entire power of the Heavenly Court is mobilized.

The second-level state is the state of war, where all departments, offices, and armies of the Heavenly Court await orders.

Third-class is the normal state!

Chunyang looked at Fuxi and said, "The Heavenly Emperor guards the eastern part of the realm!"

Fuxi immediately accepted the order, saying, "Yes, sir!"

"The Great Emperor Qinghua reigns supreme in the Heavenly Realm; anyone who dares to rebel will be executed without mercy!"

The Grand Master of Fate: "Your subject obeys the decree!"

"The Five Gods of the Five Directions reside in the five directions, patrolling the primordial world. Any race, sect, or powerful being who violates the laws and decrees of Heaven shall be arrested and brought to trial by the Three Judicial Offices!"

Haotian, Barefoot Immortal, Yaochi, Longbo, and Taiyuan: "Your subjects obey the decree!"

"Demon Emperor Kunpeng, along with the other three Demon Emperors, will guard the northern part of the prehistoric world. Anyone who rebels will be killed without mercy!"

Kunpeng stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Your subject obeys the decree!"

"The Moon Goddess Changxi reigns supreme over the starry sky. If any celestial scrolls are found, I will hold you solely responsible!"

Faced with this decree, Changxi hesitated for a moment. Although she was the Taiyin Star Lord and the Taiyin Emperor of the Heavenly Court, she had once been the Heavenly Consort of Emperor Jun, so she never cared about matters of the stars.

It's indeed a bit difficult to ask her to oversee the starry sky now. If she does well, nothing will happen, but if something really goes wrong, she will definitely be made an example of.

But judging from the Great Celestial Venerable's attitude today, he won't give her a chance to refuse at all.

"I obey your decree!"

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, how about we sit together in the Lingxiao Palace and play a couple of rounds of Daoist chess?"

Hongyun chuckled and said, "How could I refuse the Grand Celestial Venerable's command!"

"The remaining Emperors, Great Immortals, and Immortals, remain in Heaven and await orders!"

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

Chunyang hummed in agreement and said, "My lords, please don't overthink it. My true form is simply engaged in normal cultivation, and nothing will truly happen to me. If something were to happen, you wouldn't be able to see me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the originally solemn Lingxiao Hall was instantly filled with laughter. Today, the lowest cultivation level in the hall was that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so how could they not understand the wonders of the Three Corpses?

As long as the "Great Celestial Venerable" on the throne is unharmed, then the Great Celestial Venerable will be fine. Moreover, given the Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation level, how could he possibly be in any real danger?

Seeing that the atmosphere in the main hall had eased, Chunyang continued, "But then again, this is also a test for everyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chunyang, wanting to know what kind of test this was.

"You are all high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court, the lowest of whom are Heavenly Lords. You naturally know that the Heavenly Court's primary task next is to conquer the Demon Realm and then pacify the Western Divine Realm."

"Consider this a test for all of you. Let's see if my Heavenly Court can suppress the primordial world by relying on the Heavenly Emperor, or if you yourselves can suppress the primordial world as it is now!"

"My lords, you must know that the Heavenly Court is not only the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Emperor, but also the Heavenly Court of you all!"

"We, your humble servants, will heed the teachings of the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Chunyang then said with satisfaction, "Go down and perform your duties. If any area under your responsibility has a problem, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After everyone had left, leaving only Hongyun, Fuxi, Da Siming, Shao Siming, and a few others in the Heavenly Court, Hongyun couldn't help but ask:

"Fellow Daoist, what exactly happened? Is Fellow Daoist Donghua alright?"

The group looked nervously at Chunyang. They had believed half of what he had said before, and now they wanted to hear the truth so they could know how to deal with the situation ahead.

Chunyang thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. My main body has indeed made some progress in cultivation. It should be undergoing the tribulation of the Great Dao now, which is why it is trapped in chaos and the connection has been severed."

After a moment's thought, the group had a general idea of ​​what to do, and then they began their respective tasks.

But no one knows exactly what they're thinking, because people's hearts change over time.

……

While everyone was focused on Donghua's situation, our protagonist Donghua did indeed encounter great danger.

In the midst of chaos, when Donghua found himself surrounded by chaotic wind blades and Great Dao lightning, the Heavenly Emperor Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword was slowly raised, and the power of the Emperor's Way poured out. With the support of the fourth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, a sword-shaped innate treasure, unleashed all its power at this moment.

In an instant, the majestic power of the Emperor suppressed all the chaotic wind blades, and the sword light, like a parallel line, directly slashed at the chaotic wind blades, instantly splitting them in two.

Faced with this scene, Donghua frowned, somewhat incredulous, not because of the power of the sword, but because the Chaos Wind Blade was too weak.

But Donghua didn't have time to think much. He could feel the Great Dao Divine Thunder above his head gathering terrifying power, a power that even he found unsettling.

Following the path he had carved out, Donghua leaped into the air, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword once more, gathering the power of the Great Dao.

"One sword cleaves the heavens!"

The power of gods, immortals, and demons within his body merged into one, and the powerful primordial magic was added to the Heavenly Emperor Sword, which he then unleashed with a single strike.

This sword strike is unparalleled!

The chaotic space was split open, and the sword light went straight ahead, tearing apart the chaotic wind blades in front of him. Donghua flashed away from the original spot.

Just as Donghua was about to return to the Primordial World, he discovered something was wrong, because he could no longer find it.

"How is this possible?"

You see, he was worried about something unexpected happening when he came to Chaos this time, so he chose a place very close to the Primordial World.

Now that we've broken through the encirclement of the Chaos Wind Blades, why can't we find our way back?

Donghua hurriedly tried to contact his three incarnations in the primordial world, but found that all communication was interrupted.

No, it wasn't interrupted!

It's not that it can't be transmitted!

He seemed to be sealed away.

No, that's not right!

"The Way of Time and Space?"

At this moment, Donghua finally realized that something was wrong. He had indeed been on the edge of the prehistoric world before, but now spacetime had been distorted, and he had been teleported here.

Donghua looked up at the divine lightning of the Great Dao condensing above his head. The divine lightning of the Great Dao, which seemed to be still condensing, had actually been condensed long ago.

"So the attack wasn't just launched by the Chaos Wind Blades, but also by the Divine Lightning of the Great Dao?"

But what Donghua couldn't understand was why, even though it was the Divine Lightning of the Great Dao, it possessed the power of spacetime? Why didn't the Divine Lightning of the Great Dao strike down but instead teleported itself here?

"You're very clever; you figured it out so quickly!"

A voice suddenly rang out beside Donghua, which made Donghua feel as if he were facing a great enemy, because he had not detected any living beings here.

In this situation, either the other party's cultivation level far exceeds one's own, or the other party is not human.

A twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus instantly appeared beneath Donghua's feet, the Heavenly Emperor's Seal manifested above his head, and the Heavenly Emperor's Sword in his hand trembled.

"Who are you, you scoundrel? Why don't you show yourself?"

"Hahaha... Show yourself? Aren't I right above your head?"

Donghua looked up and saw that above him was still an endless expanse of red lightning.

Although Donghua didn't know who it was, the fact that the person was hiding so secretively meant that their cultivation level was definitely not much better than his, otherwise they would have already made a move.

Immediately, the power of the Great Dao began to circulate, and the Emperor's Dao illuminated the entire chaos, a golden world descended, and the Dharma image of the Heavenly Emperor appeared.

With a swing of the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, the power of the Emperor's Dao rules transformed into a sword beam that shot towards the sky.

"boom!"

A deafening collision rang out!

After the storm subsided, the red lightning above remained, but the surrounding chaos had been reduced to nothingness by the powerful sword light. Small worlds appeared, only to be squeezed out and dissipated by the chaos.

Looking at the red lightning above his head, Donghua finally realized something was wrong. It wasn't lightning at all, but a person!

The boundless red lightning was merely that person's body!
