Strange Stories

Chapter 602 Nothing Can Compare to Fuyao

"The magical power passed down by the Green Emperor? You should first ask the Green Emperor himself if he dares to be presumptuous to me!"

The Purple Emperor looked around coldly and said only one sentence:
"Where does the spring breeze come from in the Ninth Heaven?"

Silently, the spring breeze disappeared.

Lin Jue didn't care, he just pointed his finger -

There was no sound of wind, only mysterious magic power, and in an instant several flowers bloomed on the emperor's robe.

"Ok?"

Zi Di frowned and immediately felt the pain and the loss of his divine power.

"You've learned a lot!"

After saying this, the Emperor used one hand to transform the sun and the moon, and fought with Empress Yaohua to control the yin and yang of heaven and earth. With the other hand, he pointed casually downwards:
"I will let you pierce my heart with thousands of swords!"

As soon as the voice fell, the grass and trees on the earth shook as if the wind was blowing. In an instant, countless plants and trees soared into the sky and turned into sharp swords flying into the sky.

There are more than ten thousand swords. I am afraid there are millions or even tens of millions of swords!
Lin Jue could only see countless silver lights transforming into rushing rivers, surging from the clouds below his feet in all directions and gathering towards him - only when he got closer could he see the sharp swords among them, which also flickered and reflected the light because of the rotation of the sun in the sky.

So fast!

The sound of breaking through the air, which should have been sharp and clear, became noisy and harsh because countless sounds merged together.

The first sword stabbed through the air!

Lin Jue dodged it by turning his head slightly.

Immediately afterwards, countless long swords shot out at him at the same time. There were shining sharp swords everywhere, above his head and under his feet. There was nowhere to hide.

Just as Fu Yao was about to step forward to rescue him, she saw the Taoist priest transformed into a gust of breeze and disappeared.

With a loud bang, countless swords collided with each other. In just the first moment, countless swords were bent and broken, and then merged into a huge metal ball.

Then I heard a calm voice:
"Wind Breath!"

The Taoist figure suddenly appeared.

There were still countless sharp swords that had not yet been smashed, and countless sharp swords continued to rise from the clouds under their feet, as if they were more numerous than the stars in the sky. At this time, they found their target and flew towards Lin Jue.

The fox turned his eyes and looked directly at the Purple Emperor.

Without hesitation, it took a step into the air and ran towards the Purple Emperor.

But I heard two consecutive sentences:

"do not go!"

One came from Lin Jue, and the other came from the eight-tailed woman.

Fuyao stopped immediately, looked at Lin Jue first, then at Empress Yaohua, and finally at Lin Jue again, before slowly backing away.

There was a flash of golden light!
The Taoist then escaped from the countless sharp swords, just like a cicada escaping from its shell!
Then he recited a sentence:
"Transform into a dragon!"

What kind of ability does Lin Jue have who has already touched the great way?
As the words fell, countless swords in the air transformed into countless three or four foot long silver dragons, which immediately twisted and broke away from Purple Emperor's control and fell down.

The scorching sun above the head was rotating rapidly, sometimes the sky was pure blue, sometimes it was full of bright stars, and there were endless white clouds under the feet, but millions of dragons were falling from the sky and falling into the clouds, forming an extremely shocking scene that was hard for mortals to imagine.

In less than a moment, the dragons in the sky turned back into countless plants and trees. Some of them had already fallen into the white clouds, while others floated down from the side of the crowd.

Lin Jue did not hesitate and threw out a handful of beans, which turned into twelve flying swords and three long swords, and he responded to the emperor with swords.

At the same time, he pointed with his backhand, and the flowers bloomed instantly.

He had seen that although Zi Di was the Emperor of Heaven and held supreme authority, he did not have the physical resistance of Fu Chi Divine Lord, nor did he have Fu Chi Divine Lord's endless divine power. The Flower Blooming Instant was still very effective against him.

as predicted--

Zi Di's eyes were fixed on the thin silver lines and rotating silver disks in the air, when he suddenly felt a pain in his body. He glanced upwards and saw a few apricot flowers blooming even on the crown on his head.

Soon after, twelve flying swords and three long swords appeared in front of them.

Suddenly, the Purple Emperor's figure turned and appeared right above his head, and the flying sword and long sword stabbed into nothingness.

"Humph! I will grant you a death calamity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, endless murderous intent surged from the Taoist, as if he was indestructible.

But then, Zi Di frowned.

He saw that the Taoist opposite was not only unharmed, but also raised his hand to grab him.

Although the two sides were far apart, the hand seemed to be in front of him. The spiritual light formed chains, and it exuded a mysterious sense of danger. It seemed to be a spell specifically targeting the soul. Just by its approach, his soul became unstable.

But he is the Purple Emperor who exorcises demons and monsters after all!

Turning his eyes, he saw that beside the Taoist opposite him, many fallen plants and trees were turned into ashes in the killing calamity.

How to avert disaster?

"Thunder Tribulation!"

Not only did Zi Di instantly see through the magic he used, but he also immediately found a way to break it.

With a loud bang, thunder exploded in the sky!

This thunder did not come from the sky, nor from the ground, nor from all directions. It was centered on Lin Jue, bursting out from Lin Jue's body, and radiating wildly in all directions.

The Taoist was instantly shattered by thunder.

The outstretched hand naturally disappeared.

Zi Di frowned slightly, turned his eyes, and saw the Taoist not far to the left looking at him calmly, and reached out to grab again.

The hand came in front of him again.

He was distracted for a moment, and his hand grabbed onto his body, then quickly retracted.

But this time it wasn't a failure.

"Humph……"

Even the Emperor of Heaven couldn't help but groan, his soul was damaged.

At the same time, the flying sword and the long sword chased after them again.

"Transform into a dragon and a phoenix to protect me!"

The Purple Emperor also grabbed a few blades of grass floating around him. With just this sentence, all the branches began to twist, their bodies expanded, and turned into black dragons. The grass leaves also expanded, changed their appearance, spread their wings, and turned into huge blue phoenixes, heading towards these flying swords.

Qingluan blocked the flying sword, and the black dragon's sharp claws fought against the long sword.

"Doesn't the Emperor hate monsters? Why did he transform plants and trees into dragons and phoenixes to protect him?"

"Thunder Tribulation!"

Another ball of thunder exploded in the sky, and thousands of lightning snakes twisted and danced wildly in all directions. Without any reference, they seemed not big, but in fact, each of these thousands of thunder snakes was more than ten miles long.

The Taoist collapsed again and disappeared on the spot.

But he immediately appeared from afar.

Not only that, but six of them appeared in a row.

"I am just like Lord Fuchi, immortal and indestructible. The Emperor can do nothing to me!"

The six Lin Jues surrounded the Emperor of Heaven.

A Lin Jue used the soul-destroying technique.

The Purple Emperor reversed the yin and yang while making a spell:

"Divine light protects the soul!"

A purple-red divine light emerged from the Purple Emperor's body, blocking the grabbing hand.

A Lin Jue pointed out the moment the flower blossomed.

The Purple Emperor shouted "Golden body protect you" again, and the emperor's body turned golden, and the flowers bloomed in an instant.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed, bringing the thunder tribulation to Lin Jue.

Lin Jue on the opposite side stretched out his hand and immediately spread out the divine thunder cloud, and also returned the heavenly thunder to the Purple Emperor.

"Thunder scattered!"

At the command of the Emperor of Heaven, the divine thunder cloud suddenly lost its power, and correspondingly, the thunder on Lin Jue's body also disappeared.

Lin Jue used the immobilization technique to immobilize the Purple Emperor.

The Purple Emperor did not stop him, but only said:
"Fire Tribulation!"

Suddenly, purple divine fire rose from the six Lin Jue's bodies and burned his body.

Lin Jue also spit out the sun's true fire in response.

The Purple Emperor had no choice but to say:
"Fire out!"

The six Lin Jues and the fire they spit out disappeared.

A Lin Jue used the power of taking life and giving longevity.

"Suck my lifespan? I have been worshipped by the incense for a long time and my lifespan is infinite!" The Purple Emperor said with great disdain, "I will give you bad luck!"

Just one sentence, and Lin Jue's life began to slip away.

However, he did not age, because what was flowing away at this time was actually the part absorbed from the Purple Emperor.

In a short while, the two sides fought hundreds of times.

The flowers on the Emperor's body bloomed and faded, the thunder burst and disappeared, the spiritual fire roared and extinguished, he was already exhausted from dealing with it all.

However, Lin Jue frowned, feeling uneasy.

Looking up at the sky, I saw that the nights were getting longer and the days were getting shorter.

The reason why he was able to fight with the Purple Emperor just now and even had the upper hand was actually because the Purple Emperor had used one of his hands to fight with Empress Yaohua.

But now, every time Empress Yaohua returns to the sky, the sun always moves westward quickly. After setting, Empress Yaohua is unable to make it rise again. This shows that the Purple Emperor is stronger than Empress Yaohua now.

This is not good for me.

Lin Jue also practices Yin-Yang spiritual magic!

The Purple Emperor's inverted yin and yang is just the right thing to defeat him!
Even though he is immortal, his magic power is limited. If the Purple Emperor really cuts off yin and yang, not to mention that he may not be immortal again, even if he can, he will lose the power to resist.

"How about the Emperor of Heaven stop here?"

"Stop? Let's see how long you can hold out! Turn again!"

The Purple Emperor shouted in a muffled voice, and the sun that had just risen accelerated again to move westward.

It became dark above the clouds again.

Lin Jue couldn't help but look at Empress Yao Hua:

"I have stopped Lord Fuchi as agreed. How will Your Majesty stop the Purple Emperor?"

"My great Dao is damaged, and my practice is incomplete." Lady Yaohua replied to him, still calmly, "But I have my own way."

"In that case, please change the place."

The six Lin Jues looked at the Purple Emperor and cast spells at the same time.

In an instant, not only did the sun rotate, but the world itself also underwent earth-shaking changes.

In a flash, nine days have passed and the world has changed.

It is a place with green mountains and clear waters, and in the middle there is a village with white walls and green tiles, facing the water. The scorching sun overhead makes the people feel lazy. On the murals of the eight-pillar bridge pavilion at the entrance of the village, which is used as a light block, there are paintings of gods exorcising demons.

But the next moment, the sun here also began to accelerate westward, and the yin and yang began to become chaotic. The shadows cast by the Eight Pillar Bridge Pavilion and the white walls of the village also quickly lengthened.

"Do you think that if you recreate the universe, you can break away from the Great Dao without relying on external laws?"

The Purple Emperor stood in the air, overlooking the Shu Village.

"No."

Lin Jue answered him.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately cut off the connection between this place and the outside world.

This is his purpose—

The Purple Emperor could reverse yin and yang, turning day into night and night into day, and even make the world in the middle of neither night nor day, eliminating all yin and yang auras, but he couldn't do that. Even in the world he created, he relied on the outside world, and he couldn't generate yin and yang auras by himself, but he could cut off the connection between here and the outside world.

By then, there will still be no yin and yang spiritual energy here, but there will also no spiritual energy of heaven and earth, five elements, or the power of incense and vows.

He couldn't restore the spiritual energy, but he could still cut off the spiritual energy.

"How long can the Emperor hold on?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice, "I know that the Emperor is diligent. As long as he stops now and no longer kills demons wantonly without distinguishing between good and evil, he can still be the Lord of the Nine Heavens."

"Ha ha……"

The Purple Emperor did not get angry but laughed instead, seeming to be very disdainful.

The hand that was fighting with Empress Yaohua was also retracted.

The Purple Emperor took a deep breath, and suddenly, his body began to grow rapidly. In a blink of an eye, he became a giant. In another blink of an eye, he was a hundred feet tall. In the next blink of an eye, he was a thousand feet tall.

"Do you think that such a small world can trap me?"

The sound was like the collapse of the sky, deafening. While he was speaking, his body was still growing rapidly, growing to ten thousand feet, a hundred thousand feet, and even filling the entire world.

“Not good. This is his magical power, which can make him almost as big as the heaven and earth. Your small world cannot contain him.” Empress Yaohua said, and flew up immediately.

At the same time, colorful divine light filled the sky.

An eight-tailed white fox that was larger than Fuyao appeared in the sky, and it stepped upwards in mid-air at an extremely fast speed. In just a few steps, it reached the top of the sky, caught up with Zidi, and pressed down on his head.

The sky was filled with colorful divine light pouring down.

The growth of the Purple Emperor then stopped.

However, to Lin Jue's surprise, the Purple Emperor did not attack Empress Yaohua, but gritted his teeth and competed with her in magical powers.

One grows upwards, as if to break through the sky.

One of them pressed down, trying to push him back to the ground.

After a little thought, Lin Jue guessed that Empress Yaohua must also have magical powers that could make Zi Di's attack ineffective. They had fought each other before and understood each other, so it didn't take much effort.

But at this time, Empress Yaohua could not suppress him.

Lin Jue also continued to attack——

Flowers bloom in an instant! Soul-destroying technique! Take away life and give longevity!
But the figure was still growing.

At this moment, a voice came from the sky:
"Fuyao! Come and help me!"

The eight-tailed white fox on the ground was stunned for a moment, then flew up to the sky and stepped into the colorful divine light.

"Om..."

As soon as it came into contact with the divine light, it disappeared, and then the colorful divine light suddenly became stronger and nothing could be seen clearly.

However, it was obvious that the two sides were fighting fiercely overhead.

What they are fighting for is magical power and what they are competing for is the mystery of the great way.

Unfortunately, the connection between this place and the outside world has been cut off, the spiritual charm of the yin and yang and five elements of heaven and earth has disappeared, and the incense and wishes cannot come in. This fight is destined not to last.

I don't know how long it took -

The unimaginably huge Purple Emperor finally began to shrink slowly.

The colorful divine light also gradually faded.

Fuyao has disappeared, and the fox standing on Zidi's head has transformed into an extremely graceful nine-tailed celestial fox.

"So this is your method..."

Lin Jue looked up at the sky and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Wow..."

When the divine power was about to be exhausted, the huge Purple Emperor finally disappeared and turned into an ordinary figure, standing in the air. The first thing the Purple Emperor did was to turn his head and look at Lin Jue:
"Did you see that? This is what you did. The demon race now has a great sage again."

Lin Jue looked up at the sky.

The nine-tailed fox transformed into a woman again, wearing classical clothes, extremely luxurious, with nine white tails floating down and slowly landing beside Lin Jue.

But one of her tails was very disobedient and kept twisting around.

Empress Yaohua looked at him and explained:
"Back then, I was defeated by Emperor Ming, and my Dao was shattered, my Dao practice was abolished, and my nine tails were cut off. I had no choice but to rebuild my Dao practice and reunite with the Dao. Over the past few hundred years, I have separated my nine tails and let them practice separately. Some practiced in the mountains, some went to the outer sea, some went to the desert, and some mingled in the human world. I gave the last one to you. Before you came, I had taken back eight of them, and only this one was missing."

Lin Jue's expression was very indifferent: "I don't care about that. After this fight, you must return Fuyao to me!"

"..."

Empress Yaohua remained silent.

Lin Jue turned his head and looked at the Purple Emperor, his eyes flickering:

"The Emperor knows it well. I have no intention of opposing the Emperor's efforts to eliminate demons. I have already said that I know the Emperor is diligent. As long as the Emperor stops now and no longer eliminates demons wantonly without distinguishing between good and evil, he can still be the Emperor of Heaven. Even when it comes to eliminating the real evil demons, I will respond to the Emperor's call. This still holds true now."

"Why don't you think about how to suppress the demon sage in front of you!"

"Your Majesty, do not worry. Even if you are defeated, I will take over and continue to defeat the demons and monsters."

Lin Jue was also prepared for this.

The reason why he had not picked the two stars and set foot on the two roads before and had been accumulating strength was not only because he was on guard against the Emperor of Heaven, but also against Empress Yaohua.

"Zixu, you are doomed to fail, why don't you stop?" Empress Yaohua no longer seemed to be afraid of the Purple Emperor. "Are you sure that the Heavenly Lord is above me and I dare not kill a Heavenly Emperor?"

"Just you?"

"Do you still have the strength to fight again?"

"How much do you have left?"

"Alas, your obsession is too strong."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Empress Yaohua could only shake her head:

"Although humans and demons are different, they coexist in the world, and there is a distinction between good and evil. Before you came to rule the Nine Heavens, stories about 'evil people doing evil and being punished by foxes and demons' were also talked about by the people of the world, right? When you, the Nine Heavens gods, were exterminating evil demons and monsters, why did I ever intervene? The human world is below the mountain, and the demon world is in the mountain. It has always been like this. Emperor Ming fought with me for the Nine Heavens, and although we won and lost, we didn't kill all the demons. Why can't we coexist here with you?"

"Why should I say more to you!" The Purple Emperor pointed his finger, "Look at me killing Jie!"

Bang!
The Lady Yaohua beside Lin Jue disappeared, and in her place was the horse-head wall below, which looked like the corners of a wall with its head raised high, and turned into ashes in the massacre.

Empress Yaohua was already standing at the broken corner of the horse-head wall.

"Why is the Emperor so obsessed?" Lin Jue asked.

"How many years have you been enlightened? Have you ever seen the ferocity of the ancients and the northern demons?"

"Really? I've also heard the story of the Emperor. But I also heard that the Emperor's family wasn't eaten by the monster, but was injured by the monster and came back to recuperate. It was because of the Emperor's inadequate care that they unfortunately passed away and entered the reincarnation cycle." Lin Jue said, "When the Emperor took up the sword to kill the monster, in addition to helping them get revenge, he also wanted to calm his guilt, right?"

When Zi Di heard this, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

Things that happened more than two thousand years ago suddenly came to my mind again.

That was something he didn't want to recall.

But even the dignified Purple Emperor would not deny it.

"so what?"

"Has the Emperor not yet taken revenge? Has he not calmed down yet? Didn't the Emperor receive help from monsters when he was on his way to exorcising demons and achieving enlightenment? Then why is there a stone tiger in front of the Emperor's temple?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"Told by a senior."

"What a pity! It has been more than 2,000 years. Over the past 2,000 years, my heart has long been indestructible. This is useless to me!" Purple Emperor said, "Even if I stay here, what can you do to me?"

"Even if the Emperor insists on doing what he wants, he can't get rid of the demon. I'm not afraid of trapping the Emperor here for dozens or hundreds of years." Lin Jue paused, "I just think that if the Emperor resigns, the Lord of the Nine Heavens will be replaced by the Jade Mirror Emperor immediately. Do you think he can do a better job than you?"

……

At the same time, in another world.

The other Lin Jue followed seamlessly, and just sat down to drink two sips of tea, still smiling and saying to Fuchi Shenjun:

"I have always had a question in my mind. Looking at this world, apart from a few Heavenly Lords, only the Divine Lord can answer it for me. I am willing to believe him."

"Say it!"

The two started another game, and the God of Fu Chi was thinking hard while pinching the pieces.

I only heard the voice of the Taoist on the other side:
"Many years ago, I first met the Lord of God in Cuiwei County in Zhongzhou. There was a demonic plague that nearly wiped out all the people. Where did the plague ghost come from?"

"..."

Lord Fuchi suddenly raised his head and looked straight at him.

"Where are they from? Although the northern gods are overbearing, they are always jealous of demons. How can a plague ghost live even a moment longer in front of the northern gods?"

As the God was speaking, the scene of the past couldn't help but emerge in his mind. He seemed to see the little Taoist priest again. Then, when he saw the Taoist priest in front of him who had trapped him here and was playing chess with him, he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

"Could it be that he really went from the south..."

Lin Jue muttered to himself, recalling in his heart the words that Ji Ling Zhenjun had not finished saying at the West Sea Bird Island -

"Besides, do you really think they are that good?
"Gods and humans are the same, with the same desires and motivations. My Emperor follows the way of inaction, which is a manifestation of low desires. He does less and commits fewer sins. The biggest mistake he has made is that he indulged the True Lords and the priests due to lack of supervision. After all, he has never done anything evil himself! But other emperors are not like that!"

When Lin Jue asked him again, he didn't say much.

……

"If the Emperor is still so stubborn, then he will stay here forever." Lin Jue said, "One day here is equal to one year outside, until another Heavenly Mang is replaced in the Nine Heavens and the Emperor falls from the throne."

"Aren't you going to stay here too?"

"Your Majesty forgot that I have a way to create a clone."

"..."

Zi Di opened his eyes wide and stared at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue also looked at him without any fear.

Neither side would give in.

The only difference is that the winner and loser have been decided.

Lin Jue's real body waved his hand, and the four clones disappeared, leaving only one clone.

"Leave him here." Empress Yaohua said, "He can only think clearly because he is stubborn."

"But you can..."

Lin Jue said, turning his head and looking around: "My Lady, where is my Fuyao!?"

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the nine tails behind Lady Yaohua began to sway rapidly, as if trying to break free, and each time it exerted force, it pointed in the direction of Lin Jue.

Empress Yaohua remained silent and looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue also looked at her.

The two sides were facing each other in silence, and seemed to be fighting invisibly.

Only the tail behind Empress Yaohua was twisting madly without any effort and with endless energy.

After all, Lin Jue has only been a powerful man for a short time, and it is difficult for him to confront the Purple Emperor head-on. For example, the Purple Emperor's inversion of yin and yang is very restraining to him, and the Purple Emperor's control of heaven and earth also makes his creation of the universe unable to contain it. However, the magic spells and supernatural powers in the world are so mysterious and mutually reinforcing and restraining.

It is like that Empress Yaohua's restoration of the world can just fight against Zi Di's reversal of yin and yang, but she cannot defeat the immortal Lord Fu Chi. Just like Lord Fu Chi, she cannot undo Lin Jue's creation of the universe.

Therefore Lin Jue was not afraid of her.

Even if you are afraid of her, you cannot retreat.

Just as Lin Jue once said, there is no right or wrong compared to Fu Yao, who was raised by him and accompanied him in his realization of enlightenment.

I think Lady Yaohua also knows this——

She knew this, and that's why she set up a trap for Fuyao for more than two hundred years. And since Lin Jue dared to fight against a Heavenly Emperor for Fuyao, he would naturally dare to fight against her.

"You should know that it is originally my tail. She originally came from me. She is me, and I am her."

"Nonsense! I raised my Fuyao. Her every word and action, every magic skill, character, virtue, preferences and inclinations are all influenced by me. Could it be that they are all fake?" Lin Jue pointed at the fox tail moving behind her, "How do you explain this?"

"She doesn't know me, but I know her."

"Can the Queen fight again?"

"You are indeed more capable than I thought, but you should know that I have helped you a lot in getting here so smoothly. Now you are just giving me back my tail."

"There is no room for negotiation."

"How about this..." Lady Yaohua gave in. "I was born with supernatural powers and I know everything. I separated the Nine Tails and let them collect different spells and seek the mysteries of the various ways. Now that she has returned, I will allow me some time to absorb the magic powers and mysteries of the various ways she has brought back, and then I will return them to you. How about that?"

"No!"

"..."

Empress Yaohua then remained silent and stared at him.

There was another long period of confrontation and silence between the two sides.

After a moment, there was a sigh.

"Ugh……"

Empress Yaohua turned around and cut off one of the tails.

"Give it back to you."

"Canopy..."

Goddess Yaohua only has eight tails left, and her Taoism level has obviously declined.

Her own Fu Yao also appeared out of nowhere and first stared at Empress Yaohua seriously and fiercely, then ran behind Lin Jue.

Lin Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
