Chapter 541 Destroying the Heavenly Court
[Consume 1000 points of Insight to select a character for deep fusion?]

"Select [Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field] for deep integration."

As Yang He confirmed this, his consciousness briefly went into a daze. Then, the Myriad Transformation Tree seemed to no longer resist the aura of the Void.

He could still hear Zhunti's incessant threats.

Zhunti frowned, his mind becoming increasingly cluttered with distracting thoughts after being reduced to a quasi-saint, and his body unconsciously radiated a dazzling Buddhist light.

The Buddha's light was extremely murky, like karmic fire filled with a great deal of lingering resentment.

Perhaps Zhunti's current situation is a backlash. It should be noted that the birth of an ordinary Arhat is accompanied by the deaths of countless believers.

boom! ! !
The entire Lingxiao Palace, no, the entire Daluo Heaven, shook violently, as if the very foundation of Daluo Heaven was being affected.

The baby's cries were incessant, yet it was already difficult to approach the side hall.

Zhunti retreated several steps, and saw a large amount of viscous black mud gushing out from the roots of the Myriad Transformation Tree, flowing in all directions. Wherever it passed, whether it was pavilions and towers or bewildered heavenly soldiers and generals, they were all swallowed up.

What terrified him even more was the dense network of roots of the Myriad Transformation Tree breaking through the soil.

Instead of attacking itself, the roots targeted the celestial children who were kneeling at the base of the tree seeking protection, and in the blink of an eye, many of them were killed or injured.

*Pfft, pfft*

The sound of roots piercing through flesh was extremely dense; even the Eight True Gods were no match for the roots, which contained a rich aura of returning to nothingness.

"what!"

"No! Corpse Celestial Venerable, no!!"

The desperate pleas for mercy vanished instantly into the churning black water.

Water Deity was still horrified by the Jade Emperor's madness and the damage to the Myriad Transformations Tree, but when he saw this scene, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

"He's gone mad! He's completely gone mad! Old Plague Demon, get out of here!!!"

He roared at the Plague Old Ghost not far away, his own immortal light bursting forth, trying to break free from the suction of the black water and leave this desolate place.

However, the scene he saw next made Water Deity Star Lord feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The exceptionally thick roots instantly pierced through the old plague demon's chest.

But instead of fear, the old plague demon was overwhelmed with a near-manic joy, and opened his arms before he died.

"Ancestor above! Your disciple is extremely grateful to have been able to enter the Heavenly Dao and escape the sea of ​​suffering!!"

He withered and decayed at a visible speed, and was eventually completely swallowed up by that root, seemingly becoming part of the Myriad Transformations Tree.

"Madmen! They're all madmen!!"

The Water Deity was utterly desperate and fought back with all his might. But more roots were already closing in from all directions, giving him no chance whatsoever.

His resistance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the Myriad Transformation Tree.

In just half a breath, the protective immortal light shattered like a bubble, and then the shrill screams came to an abrupt end, following in the footsteps of the Plague Old Ghost.

Zhunti hovered in mid-air. Although he was protected by the Buddha's light, which could barely resist the erosion of the black water, he had long since disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there was a profound sense of astonishment.

"The extraterrestrial demons really couldn't withstand the backlash from the Void Return and completely went mad?! They even killed their own people? No, that can't be..."

Zhunti's ominous premonition grew stronger.

He quickly transmitted the message to the Medicine Buddha, "This scoundrel Yang He seems to have completely lost control and is devouring everything in the Great Luo Heaven, not even sparing the immortals and gods who have pledged allegiance to him!"

The Medicine Buddha's response carried a hint of fanatical calm: "How could he threaten me, Buddha?"

Zhunti swept his divine sense across the area and realized that even though the Heavenly Court was falling one after another, the Great Luo Heaven was still far away from Yuanzai Kong's ascension to Heaven. Given the current speed at which the aura of the Void was spreading, it was indeed unrealistic.

"No, but..."

“Shakyamuni is about to arrive, so let Yang He continue to sink into depravity. When the Buddha descends, all demons and monsters will be cleansed.”

Zhunti calmed himself down a bit, and most of his distracting thoughts dissipated. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were both big troubles for Yang He. He didn't know why he was possessed. Could it be due to the influence of extraterrestrial demons?

He held a few fragments of human skin in his palm, and the baby's cries echoing in the air intensified.

Wow wow wow! ! !
Upon seeing this, Zhunti used karmic fire to burn the fragments of human skin, and the sounds emitted by the infant turned into howls.

At the same time, as the Blackwater expanded, the thick fog shrouding the depths of the Lingxiao Palace began to gradually dissipate!

As the mist dissipated, the so-called jade steps came into view.

The jade steps are like a long, narrow umbilical cord, connecting the Great Luo Heaven to a gigantic flesh and blood infant at the other end.

The baby had no skin; its bare, scarlet muscles were tangled and knotted, and a withered Heavenly Tree grew from the top of its head.

According to legend, the cycle of heaven and earth is said to last for 129,600 years.

The Jade Emperor reincarnates once every 12 months, and his current miserable state clearly indicates a failed reincarnation; in fact, his entire body has been peeled off.

The skin fragments on Zhunti's palm are connected to the Jade Emperor, indirectly influencing him.

Wow wow wow! ! !
The Jade Emperor immediately tried to climb the Myriad Transformations Tree, but nearly a hundred rusty iron chains tightly bound his limbs, torso, and neck.

"The mantis' arm blocks the car."

Zhunti's gaze fell on the eight righteous gods hiding in the shadows. At the end of the jade steps, there was a magic array covering two or three hundred immortals and gods, each of them listless and ragged.

Their auras were dim, clearly indicating that they had suffered considerable injuries in the face of the Jade Emperor.

Apart from the Water Deity Star Lord and the Plague Old Ghost, the other eight leaders were all in the magic array, along with some Golden Immortal Heavenly Generals.

The immortals and gods stared at the Myriad Transformations Tree, whose branches and leaves were waving wildly, their brows furrowed with despair.

They learned from Zhao Gongming that Yang He had already achieved the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm and was in the side hall receiving the immortals and gods as they withdrew from the Great Luo Heaven.

But who could have imagined that Yang He... would become an unspeakable demon!

The collapse of Heaven continues, and the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West have lost control; they see no hope.

Qiongxiao's face was pale as she repeatedly checked the aura of the Myriad Transformation Tree.

It is indeed my beloved.

Her inner energy became disordered. "Sister, Yang He... could he really be..."

A resolute glint flashed in Yunxiao's eyes: "Impossible. Although Yang He's actions may seem mad, he is always confident and prepared. Qiongxiao, stay calm and don't panic!"

The myriad-flower tree continued to grow taller, and countless mouthparts sprouted from its surface.

Roar! ! !
Taking advantage of the Jade Emperor's restraint, the black water is surging in continuously, with some of it converging towards the Jade Pool.

Be ready at any time to stop the Queen Mother of the West from waking up.

The ten sons of the Yang family were also present. After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, they had been trapped in the Lingxiao Palace. They had encountered many opportunities and all had the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Yang Shimei held a book stained with blood. The wound was a tiny tear in the flesh of an infant's arm, and her dress was soaked with blood.

"Your Majesty, Father will be alright."

"kindness."

Yang Dalang nodded first, then smeared the blood on the surface of the iron chain to repair the damage.

Zhao Gongming and Wen Zhong stood back to back, each missing a right leg, their intestines and stomachs exposed from their abdomens, their bodies almost on the verge of death.

“Wen Tianzun, what do you think of Corpse Tianzun? There was no indication that he was going to die.”

Wen Zhong opened his Heavenly Eye with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "I can't see through it. Life and death are predestined. Anyway, you and I have celestial duties, so it's impossible for us to leave the Heavenly Court alive. In any case, we will perish after death."

“That’s true.” Zhao Gongming nodded with a smile, even having the leisure to drink a few sips of immortal wine.

The black water quickly spread to the jade steps and, as expected, submerged the baby's lower body. However, the Jade Emperor was corrupted by the aura of the Void, which is why he had become neither human nor ghost.

Therefore, the aura of the Void could not possibly harm a person.

boom! !

Numerous roots of the Myriad Transformation Tree emerged and pierced into every part of the baby's body.

Then, with a sweep of roots, the iron chains binding the baby snapped, freeing the two or three hundred immortals who had been struggling to hold on!
Yunxiao frowned slightly, Wanhuashu's action seemed unintentional.

In fact, this is clearly evidence of Yang He's remaining consciousness.

“My love…”

As soon as Yunxiao opened her mouth, Yang He's soft voice echoed in her mind, "Yunxiao, we will meet again in a thousand years. Do not resist."

Yang Tong informed all the immortals and gods at the same time, and gave a brief explanation.

However, Yunxiao didn't listen to any of it. The smile on her lips remained the whole time, and she couldn't help but murmur, "If only Third Sister were here too."

The thought had barely formed when the black water swallowed the magic array of the immortals and gods.

Regardless of their thoughts, as long as they don't fight to the death, there shouldn't be any major problems with integrating into the cycle of reincarnation within the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field.

In this way, most of the goals of this trip have been achieved.

Zhunti noticed that the roots of the Myriad Transformations Tree hesitated for a few moments, and the veins on his forehead bulged. "Reincarnation? He has already mastered the reincarnation of the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field?"

"He's not crazy!! He's definitely not crazy!!!"

Zhunti was caught in a dilemma. Even if Yang He hadn't gone mad from his cultivation, he couldn't threaten Yuan Zai and Kong Shengtian. Now he only had two choices.

Escape or kill!

While hesitating, the baby rolled around in the black water, having already adapted to the aura of the Void. Its arms kept tearing at the roots of the Myriad Transformation Tree, and it stared intently at the Myriad Transformation Tree.

An infant instinctively perceives that the Tree of Myriad Transformations is a manifestation of the Dao of Heaven.

born!

I want to be born!!!
The baby crawls on all fours, and its appearance becomes strange and bizarre, especially its abdomen, which is covered with countless arms.

Almost simultaneously, a sickening chewing sound came from Yaochi.

A woman's head, the size of a mountain, slowly rose up. Her face was dignified and noble, but her eyes were empty. She was none other than the Queen Mother of the West, who was once the leader of all female immortals!
With its bright red lips opening and closing, fragments of flesh and bone flew everywhere, and a half-eaten human-faced snake-bodied body hung from the corner of its mouth—it was none other than Venus!
Venus's face was still frozen with the terror of his death.

Countless wriggling tentacles are connected to the lower part of the Queen Mother of the West's head, facing the Myriad Transformations Tree, almost identical to the Jade Emperor's remaining instincts.

next moment.

Above the Lingxiao Palace, the blazing sun and the cool moon appeared simultaneously!

The sun and moon hung high in the sky, and the Great Luo Heaven was shrouded in the divine powers of the two Quasi-Saints. Countless rays of light intertwined into a net, locking onto the Myriad Transformation Tree!
Yang He secretly rejoiced that he had brought the immortals and gods into the cycle of reincarnation in the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, in that instant, the Great Luo Heaven would have been completely barren, and even a Primordial Golden Immortal would not have been able to withstand the divine power that approached that of a Quasi-Saint.

Immediately afterwards, the divine powers of the Sun and Moon manifested and opposed the Tree of Myriad Transformations.

The black water that enveloped the Myriad Transformations Tree receded, and its branches were laden with fruits that bore the essence of all kinds of great paths.

Zhunti's heart was filled with alarm bells. Seeing the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West and the Myriad Transformations Tree confronting each other, the surging black water presented the best opportunity to escape!
Yang He was locked in a fierce battle and had no chance of interfering with the Buddha's descent.

However, just as Zhunti was about to flee, his gaze was firmly drawn to a strange fruit on the top of the Myriad Transformations Tree.

The fruit is shaped like a giant clam shell, and its interior is filled with a shimmering, luminous light.

The aura it emitted was clearly of the same origin and root as his own level!
Zhunti's pupils contracted sharply, and his steps froze. A sense of relief overwhelmed his reason; Yang He was already preoccupied with his own survival. If he could seize this opportunity to reclaim his position…

That moment of hesitation cost them their last chance of survival.

hum.

A sense of oppression that seemed to overwhelm everything suddenly appeared!

The surging black water froze in mid-air, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West stood still, and the entire Great Luo Heaven fell into a deathly silence.

Zhunti's entire body was enveloped in a radiant aura of Buddha, but his eyes could still move with difficulty.

He strained to look upwards.

Suddenly, three enormous shadows loomed over the dome of the Great Luo Heaven, forming a triangular shape that sealed off all directions of the Lingxiao Palace.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be three dilapidated temples.

No, it's the Sanqing Temple!

Jade Void Palace, Tushita Palace, Biyou Palace!
The Three Pure Ones' temples were strangely mysterious, with their palace walls and halls covered in a large amount of fresh flesh and bone tissue, as if these three temples had been peeled off from the saints' bodies, perhaps even one after the other.

As a result, the Sanqing Temple was as if the saints themselves had personally visited it.

"Oh no! The Three Pure Ones are orchestrating this all along!!!"

Zhunti was terrified, realizing that Yang He's recklessness was clearly instigated by the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones, reincarnated, were indeed alive!
He wanted to escape, to contact the Medicine Buddha, to ignite his life force...

But it was too late.

boom! ! ! boom! ! ! boom! ! !
The Three Pure Ones' Daoist Temple, carrying the weight to crush eternity, crashed heavily towards the Great Luo Heaven!
It was as if the millstone of heaven and earth was crushing everything!
The Jade Emperor let out a mournful cry as he was forced deep into the black water. The Queen Mother of the West's head was suppressed by an invisible force, and her skull instantly deformed.

Zhunti felt the protective Buddhist light shattering inch by inch, his own bones and muscles on the verge of breaking, and his primordial spirit wailing.

"Do not!!!"

He let out a desperate roar and struggled frantically.

After only a few breaths, the protective Buddhist light completely vanished, and Zhunti fell uncontrollably from mid-air, landing with a splash in the viscous black water, with no chance of escape.

Just as Zhunti's consciousness was about to fade away, his divine sense pierced through numerous obstacles.

I could vaguely see the scene of Kong ascending to heaven in the Yuan Dynasty.

The divine, which cannot be described in words, has already manifested.

He sat cross-legged in the void, his body radiating the perfect Buddha light of immeasurable light, immeasurable life, and immeasurable enlightenment, as if he were the ultimate manifestation of all wisdom.

The chanting and Zen sounds naturally echoed, calming all chaos.

Shakyamuni has descended!
In stark contrast to the sacredness is the putrid black water of the Great Luo Heaven.

One dwells in the ninth heaven, with a solemn and compassionate appearance, as if to deliver all suffering from all afflictions.

One is mired in a quagmire, driven mad, and intends to bury all the gods and Buddhas.

The two are high and low, facing each other from afar.

There were no words, no confrontation, not even an exchange of glances.

Yang He gave Shakyamuni absolutely no chance to find his weaknesses!
The accumulated aura of the Void was released!

A wave more terrifying than ever before swept through the Heavenly Court!

Even before the Eighteen Heavens of the Realm of Form had completely fallen into the Void, the Great Luo Heaven, as the highest point of the Heavenly Court, was the first to begin to collapse!
The immeasurable black water transformed into towering waves, sweeping down towards the twenty-fourth heaven below with the force of engulfing everything!

Wherever the black water passed, the immortal island crumbled inch by inch, and the Daoist essence vanished.

Whether it was a celestial palace or a blessed land, everything was reduced to nothing in the dark, surging waves!
As darkness recedes.

Including the Great Luo Heaven, the twelve upper levels have been pulled into the Ruins of Return.
