This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 466 The Heavenly Emperor Admits There Was an Element of Gambling

boom! ! !
The Divine Firmament Realm and the Heavenly God Realm collided with a deafening roar, and the Great Luo Heaven clashed with the Great Luo Heaven!

The chaotic turbulence was like two vast nebulae grinding and crushing each other, each wisp of air heavy as if it were a world in itself, and each collision burst forth with a deafening roar as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart.

The sound of the four walls shattering was like thousands of pieces of glass exploding at the same time, accompanied by the strange phenomenon of ancient stars falling one after another, causing the thirty-six heavens to shake violently, the sea of ​​clouds to roll back, and the celestial palace to collapse.

The collision involved not only the Great Luo Heaven, but also the Heavenly Dao principles within it.

This refers to the principles of Heaven, not the principles of Heaven and Earth!

The Great Luo Heaven is the birthplace of the Heavenly Emperor and the place where the Heavenly Dao is conceived and manifested. The connection between the two Great Luo Heavens signifies that the primordial Heavenly Daos of the two worlds are fiercely clashing.

In the distorted void, two long dragons of chaotic color could be seen coiling and intertwining, full of both order and majesty, as well as a desire for invasion and devouring.

Where the two forces clashed and fought, what sprang forth were not sparks, but rather the nascent forms of entirely new principles of the Heavenly Dao. Some were instantly annihilated, while others stubbornly survived, taking root and spreading like wild grass in the chaos.

Once the chaos stabilizes, these principles of Heaven will give rise to even more principles of Heaven and Earth, making the new world stronger and more unbreakable.

It's also more realistic!
"Hahaha---"

The Heavenly Emperor raised his arms and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the thirty-six heavens, even causing the shattered void to tremble.

One cannot laugh so unrestrainedly unless one is extremely pleased with oneself.

In stark contrast to him was the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's face, so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

The Heavenly Emperor is a primordial deity with a very peculiar form of existence. He was born with the world and is the embodiment of the Heavenly Way, but he is not the Heavenly Way itself.

The Heavenly Dao gives birth to the Heavenly Emperor, endowing him with supreme authority and allowing him to have his own will, yet it also binds him with invisible shackles—the Heavenly Emperor is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not the Heavenly Emperor.

This is why, although the Heavenly Emperor is supreme, he often has moments of weakness. At those times, he returns to the Heavenly Way and operates as ruthlessly as the Heavenly Way itself.

Therefore, the essence of the Heavenly Emperor lies in the Heavenly Dao. The fusion of the origins of the Heavenly Dao in the two realms is an unparalleled blessing for any Heavenly Emperor.

They fought to the death, unleashing a massive massacre, their ultimate goal being to bring the Heavenly Dao of the two realms into harmony.

Only when the Heavenly Dao becomes stronger and the world advances can the Heavenly Emperor advance further!
However, everything should be prioritized.

There's no reason why the two Heavenly Daos should merge and both Heavenly Emperors should benefit simultaneously. There has to be one unlucky one who has to step forward, using their own Dao seed as fuel to burn themselves to illuminate others and highlight the greatness of the victor.

Whoever leads the integration will dominate everything!
As for why?
The laws of Heaven clearly stipulate that this is how it is written!
Therefore, although there is more than one Heavenly Dao and more than one Heavenly Emperor in the Three Thousand Worlds, in the end, only one strongest Heavenly Emperor will rise and stand at the top of all the heavens, stepping on countless corpses.

At that time, the Heavenly Emperor will unify all realms, restore the shattered Celestial Court to its ancient glory, and bestow upon himself boundless honor and power.
The Heavenly Dao devours all heavens, integrates all things, and returns to the original and most perfect Heavenly Dao.

Everyone has a bright future; it's a win-win situation!
That being said, the ultimate winner is only the Heavenly Dao; the Heavenly Emperor... is more like a treacherous insect.

If they don't want to be merged into other makeshift companies, they must work together to make the listed company bigger and stronger, and trample all their competitors underfoot.

"You think that by seizing some of the laws of Heaven and stealing a portion of the origin, you can defeat me and dominate everything?"

The Heavenly Emperor stopped laughing, his golden eyes burning like the blazing sun as he looked down at his defeated opponent: "You are so wrong. All your arrogance was within my calculations."

This earth-shattering game spanning two realms has revolved around the same goal from the very beginning: whoever leads the fusion of the Heavenly Dao will be the ultimate winner.

Everything else is unimportant; none of it will affect the final outcome; all of it can be sacrificed.

The gods are in charge of setting the atmosphere, while the shattered heavenly palace serves as the backdrop, simply enhancing the atmosphere.

With the two Heavenly Emperors being evenly matched in strength, Jingyun's status was elevated to an unprecedented level. The Nine-Finger Heavenly Emperor, not wanting to be her enemy, decisively spent money to win her over.

No matter what price the false emperor offers, I'll pay double!
The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor offered an extremely high price, so high that Jingyun became an original shareholder of the Divine Firmament Realm.

According to the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, Jingyun originally did not want to take this dirty money, but he offered too much, and Jingyun could not refuse.

Jingyun was originally an original shareholder of the Celestial Realm, and with the addition of original shares in the Divine Firmament Realm, she became the big winner before the two Heavenly Emperors even started fighting.

As an original shareholder of the Celestial Realm, Jingyun already possessed the Heavenly Dao Principles offered by the Heavenly Emperor. She sold these principles to the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, causing his strength to surge. He not only gained the freedom to enter and leave the Celestial Realm, but also the power to defeat the Heavenly Emperor within it.

Defeating the Heavenly Emperor and then leading the fusion is the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's plan, which focuses on stability.

At the same time, this was also an opportunity arranged by the Heavenly Emperor for the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor. As he said, everything was under his control.

Jingyun contacted the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, offering to sell the Heavenly Dao principles of the Celestial Realm at a high price. The Heavenly Emperor knew about this and had discussed it with Jingyun. Although he disliked Jingyun becoming more powerful and uncontrollable, he had no choice but to accept it in order to become the dominant figure.

The Heavenly Emperor had no choice. If he disagreed, Jingyun could go to the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor. It didn't matter where she was the Old Mother of Lishan; the initiative was always in Jingyun's hands.

On the bright side, Jingyun has never been under his control, and this will continue to be the case, so he hasn't lost anything.

Taking it a step further, it's not just Jingyun who's out of control; there's also Laojun!
If we don't act swiftly and decisively, and if Laozi pulls off a major stunt, the situation will only spiral further out of control.

His plan went smoothly, and the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor thought he had turned Jingyun against him, leaving the Divine Firmament Realm and heading straight for the Heavenly God Realm. Little did he know that the part of the Heavenly Dao principles he had sold to Jingyun was then sold back to him by Jingyun.

With the departure of the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, the Great Luo Sky of the Divine Firmament Realm was now empty, allowing him to effortlessly lead the fusion.

The Heavenly Emperor was certain that the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor would fall for the trap. There was no other reason than that the situation was changing rapidly, and neither he nor his opponent had a choice. Regardless of who gained the opportunity to seize the initiative, both sides would fight with all their might.

Jingyun is out of control and could turn against the emperor at any time for taking bribes. There's also Laozi watching from the shadows. These two put immense pressure on the Heavenly Emperor, who fears something might go wrong during the execution of the plan.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Emperor admitted that he had been gambling!

Without defeating the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, he initiated the fusion on his own initiative. Any mishap would lead to utter destruction, and the risks he faced were unimaginable.

Fortunately, despite taking a risky gamble, everything went smoothly, and he successfully spearheaded the integration, winning this bet.

"In the end, I have won. Now you will see clearly how I climb to the top by stepping on your corpses!"

The Heavenly Emperor's figure faded, and he stepped onto the Great Luo Heaven, leaving the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor with the silhouette of a victor and a comment on the defeat.

"You're not bad either, you're quite something."

The moment the Heavenly Emperor stepped onto the Great Luo Heaven, the Nine-Finger Heavenly Emperor's aura plummeted, like a deflated balloon. Not only did his strength shrink drastically, but his figure also became hunched and weak.

He lost to the Heavenly Emperor, lost to the Six Emperors, and if he falls any further, he won't even be able to beat the True Martial Emperor!
Thinking this, Xiang Yuan suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, took a step forward, and walked with his head held high into Qingwei Heaven.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Zhenwu has arrived late to save you!"

Xiang Yuan stepped forward with unwavering loyalty. The dust had settled; the losers were left to eat dust. It was time to support the victorious Heavenly Emperor.

King Frieza said he would support whoever won, which Xiang Yuan thought was great. As expected of the king, his words were always wise.

loyalty!

With a flick of his finger, he tore apart the chaotic spatial currents, creating a space for the Queen Mother to catch her breath.

The Heavenly Emperor headed straight for the Great Luo Heaven without looking back, not even glancing at his nominal wife. He didn't care whether the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor would become the Ox-Headed Heavenly Emperor in his anger. This shows that the Queen Mother was just a fake creation, an actress prepared in advance for the Journey to the West filming studio.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Queen Mother's status is undeniable, and her merit in saving the emperor further demonstrates the loyalty and sincerity of the True Martial Emperor.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty..."

The pressure on the Queen Mother eased instantly, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her phoenix eyes.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about these things."

Xiang Yuan's expression was solemn, and his words were righteous and firm: "The bandits have not yet been eliminated. Your Highness is of noble status and should not linger. I will stay behind to cover your retreat. Please, Your Majesty, proceed ahead. Once I have captured this villain, I will surely behead him and send his head before Your Majesty's presence for you and His Majesty to decide his fate!"

Having said that, he turned to face the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, feeling much more at ease.

The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's strength has plummeted, and he is now no different from the secretary on the True Martial Emperor's desk.

No need for the ham with ketchup, this guy is happy with that, but Xiang Yuan isn't. Right now is the time to establish a loyal subject persona, and he just wants to use the head of that despicable outsider.

Don't worry, I'll return it to you after you're done using it. It's guaranteed to be as good as if you've never used it.

This is sure!

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, finding the loyal Zhenwu Emperor quite pleasing to the eye. Such an outstanding talent, it was a pity that Zhenwu Emperor was wasted. After this battle, he should be promoted to one of the Six Emperors and given important power to share the burdens of His Majesty.

The Queen Mother's status dictated that she must be dignified and noble in any situation, never showing her emotions. There were some things the Queen Mother didn't say, but she had already made up her mind.

She took a step forward, her staggering figure gradually fading away as she sought a quiet place to sit and recuperate.

Just then, a golden light shot out, suddenly passing far away and striking the Queen Mother's heart.

The golden light arrived so fast that Xiang Yuan's senses failed to detect it. Its power was so great that even the Queen Mother didn't utter a cry of alarm before being reduced to dust and vanishing into nothingness within its golden light. Xiang Yuan's pupils constricted sharply as he stared in horror at the source of the golden light.

The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor slowly lowered his fingers and sneered, "You are indeed loyal."

What's going on? Aren't you the secretary at the desk?

Xiang Yuan was extremely shocked and didn't understand what had happened. If it was a misunderstanding, was it too late to reconcile?
The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor sneered repeatedly, golden light emanating from his fingertips, like divine punishment descending upon the world, heading straight for Yuan's brow.

At the critical moment, a vertical line appeared between Xiang Yuan's eyebrows, and the chaotic light appeared like a thunderclap, transforming into a stunning blade that struck first despite being behind, shattering the golden light at the fingertips of the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor and hitting his chest and heart.

Under Xiang Yuan's horrified gaze, the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor merely groaned, his invincible Chaos Light only managing to scratch the surface, leaving a few wrinkles on his chest and robes.

No, this guy didn't lose, he's the ultimate winner!
Oh no, he tricked me into using my skills again!

Xiang Yuan was startled. Before he could finish his surprise, there was another change in front of him, which made him unable to speak properly.

The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor swayed, the golden light dissipated, and his true appearance was revealed.

The necklace spread out, and the crimson and white crane-patterned silk dress fluttered without wind. The white-haired woman had a cold expression and looked into the distance with disdain.

“Big, big… Your Majesty?!”

Xiang Yuan stared wide-eyed. There were too many twists and turns, and even more things to complain about. She didn't know where to begin.

Why did Your Majesty just pretend to attack? Did Your Majesty also covet the Chaos Light and feign an attack to steal his skill?
If the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor is the Great King in disguise, then the real Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor...

Looking up at the sky, a hearty laugh could be faintly heard from within the Great Luo Heaven.

……

Daluo Heaven.

Amidst the chaos, the Heavenly Emperor strode forward, his golden eyes sweeping across the surroundings. He raised his hands, ascending to the summit in the posture of a victor.

However, he did not realize that his power had increased.

"What's going on? Is the merging of the fundamental principles of Heaven still ongoing?"

The Heavenly Emperor was fighting a dimensional war for the first time, with zero experience. He gave himself a barely reasonable explanation, but felt uneasy and warned himself not to overthink it.

Although his strength did not achieve a qualitative leap, the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's strength did decline significantly, and the Heavenly Dao Origin merged under his guidance—this is an indisputable fact.

This is no longer an advantage for me; the outcome is already decided, so we can just wait quietly.

Even so, his uneasy thoughts grew increasingly chaotic. The Heavenly Emperor rose up and strode forward, wanting to merge into the origin of the Heavenly Dao and accelerate the fusion process.

It didn't blend in!

The source of Heaven refused to let him log in to his account.

Or rather, someone has already logged into the account!

"This this……"

"This is impossible!"

In a moment of distraction, the Heavenly Emperor recited the textbook lines reserved for all losers.

"Hahaha----"

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the Great Luo Heaven.

A golden phantom appeared, smiling as it scrutinized the self-righteous loser.

The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor.

"You, how did you get here?"

If you have never left the Great Luo Heaven, then who was the one who just fought with me?

The Heavenly Emperor murmured to himself. He had already guessed the truth, but the cruel reality was unacceptable to him. He couldn't understand why his trusted ally would betray him.

When did he offend the other party?
"Why aren't you laughing, you false emperor?"

The smile shifted to the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's face. Ascending the victor's throne, he revealed the truth, awaiting the defeated's groans: "I have never left this place. The one who fought you just now was my ally… It wasn't you who was in control, but rather you who were cooperating with me in leading… Otherwise, how could the two realms have so easily united…"

"I was just joking, you didn't take it seriously, did you?"

At this point, the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor waved his hand, remotely removing the golden armor from the Heavenly Emperor's face, transforming it into a golden fingertip, and putting it on his severed finger.

This was one of the agreements he made when he and Jingyun formed an alliance. A certain Zhenwu Emperor destroyed the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Body, causing it to become incomplete. It was an unintentional mistake, and those who were unaware of it would not be held responsible. The Heavenly Emperor was magnanimous and would not pursue the matter.

Wearing finger cots today will make it seem like nothing happened; a smile will suffice.

Whether Jingyun believes it or not is hard to say, but the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor himself believes it. A ruler does not lie, and he is not the kind of person to go back on his word. Since he said he would not pursue the matter, he certainly will not.

But if others pursue the matter, such as this pathetic loser before him, the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor says he can't help. This is the Heavenly Emperor's last-ditch effort; what can he do?

"You all have quite the cunning schemes..."

Without the golden mask, the Heavenly Emperor revealed his true face, a heroic and extraordinary one. Even in defeat, he still possessed an aura of majesty that could dominate the ages.

As the saying goes, the same face can make some people look dignified and others look like nothing more than a nobody.

The Heavenly Emperor looked around with lingering affection, feeling the Heavenly Dao authority rapidly draining from his body. He slowly closed his eyes, calmly accepting reality and awaiting his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

How could that be? Even in death, they want to take someone down with them!

The Heavenly Emperor closed his eyes to gather strength. Although he could not yet unite with the origin of the Heavenly Dao, he was still the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly God Realm before his complete demise. He still held supreme authority and could change the world with a thought, ensuring that traitors would never be redeemed.

Betrayal is more unbearable than an enemy!

The traitor was Jingyun. The Heavenly Emperor knew he couldn't do anything about her, but it didn't matter, as he was aware of Jingyun's schemes and plans.

You have destroyed my Heavenly Way, so I will destroy the chess pieces in your hands!

The Heavenly Emperor's will spread out, piercing through the Great Luo Heaven barrier and sweeping across the Three Realms. Due to a sharp drop in strength and a continuous weakening of authority, he was unable to find the White Moon Hermit who had gone to the lower realms, and only saw Xiang Yuan in the Qingwei Heaven.

The pretty boy stood beside Jingyun, looking like a sycophant.

If this chess piece is lost, you'll definitely feel heartbroken for a long time!
Xiang Yuangang had just "ascended" to the Heavenly God Realm, and was just a nobody, a lackey wherever he stood. He went to the top of Kunlun Mountain and found his master, Jingyun, who was the Old Mother of Lishan.

The master and apprentice recognized each other, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

Jingyun went to the Heavenly Court, found the Heavenly Emperor, and asked for a divine position for Xiang Yuan.

King Frieza had a lot of influence; he said that his disciple was destined to be with him, and even if there was no such destiny, he would arrange one on the spot.

Without much thought, the Heavenly Emperor wrote down Xiang Yuan's name and, upon testing it, escaped the human-machine state.

It's truly fate!

The Heavenly Emperor decisively granted Xiang Yuan the divine position of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole Azure Flower, believing that Xiang Yuan could become the Great Savior from Suffering.

Jingyun shook her head and refused, giving a reason: Xiang Yuan was, after all, her disciple.

In short, Xiang Yuan is her person, and the Heavenly Emperor has overstepped his bounds.

The Heavenly Emperor had something he wanted to say, but refrained from doing so because Jingyun's status as an ally was too important.

That kid is your disciple by name, but isn't he also my disciple by name?!

Today, I will personally kill this disciple!
The Heavenly Emperor's body dissipated, and in the last second before his demise, he opened his eyes, pointed a finger, and boundless power transformed into the final chaotic light, breaking through the Great Luo Heaven and entering the Pure and Subtle Heaven, erasing it from the level of the Heavenly Dao's laws and principles.

The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor simply watched quietly, without intervening.

It's no wonder he didn't stop it; he simply didn't realize what was happening. How could he have imagined that the false emperor could unleash such a terrifying will even as he was dying?

A king's word is law; what evil intentions could a Heavenly Emperor who has put aside past grievances possibly have?
A wisp of chaotic light vanished into thin air, directly affecting Xiang Yuan's body...

in vitro!

The jade belt shimmered with a soft, luminous light...
