Chapter 922: The Sword in the Hands of Dao Zun
Sometimes in life, you just need to go on a trip without any preparation.
Just as the Emperor of Heaven called on Yuan Zun to go to the chaos together to settle accounts with Hunyuan and the Nameless Emperor, Li Yuan agreed without hesitation and ran out of the Three Realms in the blink of an eye.
The vast sea of stars and the silent sky.
This was the first time that Li Yuan left the Three Realms and came to Xutian after his return. At a glance, he saw some scenes that he had never seen before.
There were three corpses of different shapes. One was the size of an ordinary person, emitting an ever-changing chaotic energy; one revealed its true form after death, and was a huge and ferocious beast. It was said to be called the Star-Swallowing Beast, and it was also some kind of extremely powerful and ferocious beast race long ago, which had competed with the dragon, phoenix and unicorn races.
There was another corpse, which looked like fire and water, and was covered with mixed and entangled laws and powers. It had two heads and three arms, four wings on its back, and feathers like purple clouds. It was impossible to tell what race it was. Perhaps it was the result of an individual's own evolution.
Three corpses lay across the empty sky outside the Three Realms. There was no sign of life, and they had not moved. It was as if they had been deliberately thrown here by someone, specifically for a certain existence to see.
"A half-step Dao Master and two fake Dao Masters who were forcibly pushed up...trapped Mother Earth for hundreds of years, but as they lost the game with the existence behind them, they naturally perished in the calamity."
The Emperor of Heaven stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping across the three corpses of different shapes. A chill filled the air, as if freezing everything.
"Mother Earth is merciful. After winning the chess game, she didn't want to wipe them out instantly. She wanted to use their blood to nourish the earth... But you killed the Buddha and divided the human world with your sword. The blood of a Taoist master is enough to nourish the essence lost by the human world in the catastrophe. More blood will be useless."
"So, I destroyed their spirits and left their bodies here to tell Hun Yuan... this matter is not over yet!"
As the Emperor of Heaven, he could settle all this whenever he wanted. He displayed the corpses for deterrence, but he did not take any other actions. This made Hun Yuan uneasy for hundreds of years.
Needless to say, the other nameless emperor did not dare to flee to the deepest part of the chaos, lest he be found by Hun Yuan; nor did he dare to approach the direction where the First Emperor of Man and Hong Zun were, after all, he had a grudge with Li Yuan, and was afraid of being discovered by Xuanyuan Jun and forcibly dragged into the battlefield as a sparring partner; finally, because the catastrophe of the Three Realms was gradually coming to an end and the Emperor of Heaven had returned, he did not dare to approach the direction where the Three Realms were...
A dignified Taoist emperor was like a lost dog, with nowhere to go and nowhere to stay.
But he was originally a wrong and pitiful existence. The Three Realms formed a cycle, and there was no extra position to carry a completely unfamiliar Dao Zun Emperor from Chaos. Li Yuan's Yuan Zun was achieved within the Three Realms. It was a position of honor held by all living beings and spirits. It was recognized by heaven and earth, so there was no such worry.
On the other hand, Hunyuan only regarded the Nameless Emperor as a piece of flesh and blood, and pursued him relentlessly. Once he found his trace, he would try every means to take over his body.
Therefore, the nameless emperor could only try to use the catastrophe to forge a position of honor in the Three Realms. Either he could take away the status of a certain world master, or he could do everything he could to snatch away the status of those emperors whose names were left on the golden scroll!
A Daoist master like the First Emperor of the Innate Realm could only be called a Daoist master, but he had no title passed down from generation to generation, and could not be recognized by heaven and earth as an "emperor". In addition, he was blessed by the luck of the Innate Immortal Emperor and the Innate Clan, so he did not have to worry about his status.
But the Nameless Emperor is different. He is not a creature of the Three Realms, nor is he a chaotic creature from ancient times. He is the will of the emperor's body created by Hunyuan that was gradually born over the long years!
Hunyuan attached great importance to his physical body, so he devoted all his efforts to cultivate this body, and even Chaos shaped a complete status of a Taoist emperor for it. Before Hunyuan actually took over the body, this unique status of an emperor was called "Wuming".
It has no name or shape, no beginning or end, and myriad changes are all in nothingness.
When Hunyuan truly takes over the body, this nameless status may become the 'status of Hunyuan Emperor'.
However, the body cultivated by Hunyuan had its own will and gave birth to a complete soul. The nameless emperor fled hard, hibernating in various places of chaos, using the means of the Daozun emperor to constantly deal with Hunyuan. Although it was for his own sake, it was also a different way to destroy Hunyuan's plan.
Otherwise, who knows what terrible things will happen in this catastrophe.
The Emperor of Heaven can be said to be omniscient and omnipotent, but that is only a relative statement.
If Hun Yuan secretly had a complete physical body and was free from the limitations of the chaotic will, he would have a chance to escape the surveillance of the Three Heavenly Lords.
If He took advantage of the Emperor's retreat, used this body to carry the will of chaos, and suddenly descended into the Three Realms...
Everything collapsed, all living things died, and the three realms returned to chaos in just a moment.
By then, even the Emperor of Heaven will not be able to stop it.
This is the horror of Hun Yuan in a certain sense. He cannot be simply measured by the strength of a Dao Zun Emperor. The Three Realms were born from chaos, and as the characteristic of the will of chaos, it is enough for Him to swallow back everything that was lost the moment He came into contact with the Three Realms.
Otherwise, why would the Three Heavenly Lords and the Heavenly Emperor deliberately guard against Hunyuan? Given their personalities, if there really was such a threat, they should have taken action to eliminate it long ago.
But Hunyuan is a clear will born from chaos, and plays a vital role in the balance of the entire chaos. He cannot be killed, so the Three Heavenly Lords and the Emperor of Heaven have to be extra careful in guarding against him.
During the great catastrophe, the destiny of heaven is in disorder, and it is the time of subversion.
Hun Yuan was unwilling to stay out of the matter and wanted to fight for this slight chance. Although the will of the physical body he prepared for himself escaped, he still wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters. That's why he trapped the Earth Mother with the false Taoist master, and why he joined forces with the Immortal Emperor, and even wanted to control Li Yuan and completely rewrite everything with the help of the odd number.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan had already been pulled into the same camp by the Emperor of Heaven, and he grew too fast, so that when Hun Yuan finally took the opportunity to contact Li Yuan, he could only threaten Li Yuan half intimidation and half deception, trying to make Li Yuan give up fighting the catastrophe.
Of course, after Li Yuan knew part of the story, as a well-educated and elegant person, he also politely greeted Hun Yuan's mother and left with his sword.
Walking back into the chaos, the Emperor of Heaven told Li Yuan some of the secrets. Only then did he know that the catastrophe was just a sharp knife. There were many secret games. The existences of the Dao Lords and Emperors from all sides had terrible goals to achieve.
All creatures in the three realms are afraid of being killed by this sword, but the Dao Lords take advantage of the moment when the sword falls and compete with each other for the opportunity to hold the sword in order to achieve their own goals.
The Xiantian Emperor wants to seize power, Hunyuan wants to devour the three realms, the Demon Emperor wants to reshape the destiny of the demon race, the Nameless Emperor wants to fight for a position of honor, and Hongzun wants to destroy the world to vent his hatred... The three Sanzun only maintain the overall situation, and the Emperor of Heaven can only lie dormant and retreat in order for the great catastrophe to proceed smoothly...
I am the Taoist master who was born for the sake of times.
The Buddha God Emperor... acted as the thug of the Nameless Emperor. As soon as he was rescued, he was dragged over to slaughter all living beings. He took the cause and effect of the massacre, and was finally an unlucky guy who was completely crushed.
