Master Qingxu Wanfa sped northwestward, traveling from the islands of the South China Sea towards the Buddhist kingdom on earth in the far west.

In the eyes of the Venerable Qingxu Wanfa, the only person in the world who can rival the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, the holder of the Dharma Image of the Lord of the World, is the World-Honored One of the Far West.

Although the World-Honored One encountered a minor setback when negotiating with Zheng Jun in the Western Regions last time, it was merely a concession by the World-Honored One. In the far west, the World-Honored One possesses the three forms of Dharma and is naturally the World-Honored One Tathagata who suppresses all ages. Even the ruler of the world cannot directly confront the World-Honored One in the far west!

This is also why Venerable Wanfa went to the far west, hoping to receive the protection of the Buddha of the far west and temporarily recuperate.

only……

Master Wanfa was actually a little unsure whether the Buddha of the Western Paradise would protect him.

Although Zheng Jun is a strong contender for the position of Dao Lord of the current Yanfu Realm, so am I.

Of all the Dharma Aspect True Lords in the world, Venerable Shennong of Nanshan has basically no connection with the Lord of Yanfu Dao. The remaining Ten Thousand Demon Palace Master, Great Sage Burning Heaven, and himself all have some possibility of being related, especially himself.

The first Dao Lord was formed by using the Five Elements method.

The only difference is that the Dharma form orchestrated by the first Dao Lord was not 'Dao Wuwei' (the Way of Non-Action), but the route was the same.

Now that you've rashly sought refuge with this Western World Honored One, would he be willing to stop Zheng Jun's methods for your sake? Or... would he join forces with Zheng Jun to eliminate one of them first?
Master Wanfa pondered in his heart, feeling extremely worried about the future.

After all, when the eldest and second eldest compete with each other, the third eldest often ends up losing. This kind of thing happens quite often.

Master Wanfa muttered to himself, and at that moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind him.

Purple energy spread out, and the entire 30,000-mile sky was filled with the aura of the Purple Emperor, pressing down on the Wanfa Master.

Upon seeing this, Master Wanfa's pupils suddenly contracted!
Has Zheng Jun gone mad? Why is he chasing me all this way?!
That's enough, why are you chasing so hard?!

Master Wanfa took a deep breath and, without the slightest hesitation, headed towards the far west.

A vast expanse of purple aura, like a celestial river pouring down, stretched across the sky from north to south for thousands of miles, causing clouds to burst and mountains to tremble wherever it passed.

Zheng Jun stood on the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons, his imperial aura as deep as an abyss, his eyes as cold as knives, pointing directly at the Wanfa Master who was fleeing in a sorry state.

"Qingxu, do you think you can escape?"

Zheng Jun's voice boomed like thunder, shaking even the Buddhist kingdom's barrier on the far western border.

Master Wanfa's face was deathly pale. Most of the original essence of the 'Wandering Jianghu' Dharma form within his body had been severed. At this moment, his aura was disordered, and his escape speed was no longer as swift as before.

Seeing Zheng Jun getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth and activated the 'Dao Wuwei' Dharma Form. A hazy blue light emanated from his body, and he suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the depths of the Western Buddhist Kingdom.

"World Honored One, save me!"

Master Wanfa let out a long, sharp cry, the sound piercing through layers of Buddhist light and reaching the depths of the Pure Land in the far west.

"..."

In the Great Thunder Temple in the far western Buddhist kingdom.

The thousand-foot-tall golden Buddha sat serenely on a lotus throne, with a golden wheel of merit shining behind his head in all directions; he was none other than the World Honored One of the Western Paradise.

He slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to hold the birth and death of countless worlds. He sighed softly, "Entangled by cause and effect, we cannot escape our fate."

Beside the Buddha, an Arhat bowed and asked, "Venerable One, shall we make a move?"

The World Honored One shook his head slightly: "Fellow Daoist Qingxu has an affinity with our Buddhist sect, and we cannot stand idly by."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and the Buddhist kingdom barrier suddenly solidified, transforming into a golden light curtain that stretched across the sky, attempting to block Zheng Jun.

"boom--!"

Zheng Jun's purple-gold imperial aura collided violently with the Buddhist light barrier, causing the entire sky to tremble violently, the mountains on the far western border to crack, countless Buddhist pagodas to sway, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns to become disordered.

"Emperor of Han, halt."

The Buddha's voice came from the depths of the Buddha's realm, grand and solemn, carrying an irresistible pressure.

The next moment, the sky, which was bathed in Buddha's light, was suddenly torn apart by the purple aura.

Zheng Jun arrived on a cauldron, his imperial robes fluttering in the wind. The Longyuan Blade, still in its sheath, emitted a deep dragon's roar. Even before the blade was drawn, its chilling intent had already caused the golden lotuses of the thousand-mile Buddhist kingdom to wither.

"You dare to obstruct me?"

Zheng Jun coldly gazed at the clouds, where a thousand-armed Buddha image slowly manifested, each palm holding a swastika symbol.

The voice of the Buddha of the Western Paradise was like a great bell, resounding throughout the land: "Emperor Han, Fellow Daoist Qingxu has already retreated to this place. Why not lay down your butcher's knife?"

The Buddha's golden body slowly manifested in the sky, with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, a majestic and solemn appearance, and a vast amount of Buddhist power poured out.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu has already entered my Buddhist kingdom. Why doesn't the Han Emperor show compassion and spare his life?"

Hearing the World Honored One's words, Zheng Jun took a deep breath, his eyes turning cold, and the Dragon Abyss Blade rang out incessantly, its blade energy soaring into the sky.

"I do not use the national treasure lightly. When I was fighting the thieves before, I only used the law to deal with them. If the World Honored One makes a move, my Dragon Abyss Blade will naturally be used as well."

Zheng Jun sneered, then said, "Today, I will surely execute him!"

"If you want to stop me, then come at me all at once! What do I have to fear?!"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Jun made a sudden move, and the Dragon Abyss Blade transformed into a purple-gold blade of light that stretched across the heavens and earth, cleaving straight at the barrier of the Buddhist Kingdom!

"clang--!"

The sword light collided with the Buddhist seal, unleashing a deafening roar. The land in the far west cracked, countless Buddhist temples collapsed, and the golden image of the World Honored One trembled slightly, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"Emperor Han, do you truly intend to fight me to the death in the far west?"

Zheng Jun sneered, and the blade rose again, unleashing nine black and yellow dragon shadows that tore through layers of Buddhist light!
"A fight to the death? I, a mere commoner, pacified the realm in ten years. Do you think I fear your extreme west?!"

"Within three breaths, retreat or fight!"

Zheng Jun's voice was cold and clear, seemingly giving the Western World Honored One time to wait, but in reality, he gave him nothing.

What can be done in three breaths?
Three breaths passed in the blink of an eye, and the Buddha's light in the far western sky vanished instantly under the purple-gold blade's gleam.

The Buddha's thousand-armed form suddenly took a half step back, and the swastika Buddha seal in his palm vanished like bubbles. A solemn Buddhist voice resounded throughout the land: "The Han Emperor's murderous intent is burning fiercely. This humble monk is unwilling to commit further killings... Let Fellow Daoist Qingxu save himself from this calamity."

Before he finished speaking, the protective aura of Buddha light surrounding Master Wanfa suddenly dissipated!

When Master Wanfa saw that the Buddha of the Western Paradise had actually retreated under Zheng Junwei's power, his heart immediately turned cold.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the purple-gold figure closing in from the sky. He bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, and shouted as he formed hand seals: "Heaven and Earth in chaos, escape!"

In an instant, the essence blood transformed into a crimson talisman and burned, tearing open a dark rift in the void, through which one could vaguely see the Milky Way hanging upside down and the gale raging.

Master Wanfa leaped into the crevice, his tattered robe sleeves shredded by the spatial turbulence.

Zheng Jun's eyes turned cold, and he unleashed a hundred-foot-long blade of light from his Dragon Abyss Blade, chasing after the crevice. However, the crevice closed rapidly, and the blade light only severed half of a charred finger.

The western sky suddenly cleared, with only specks of blood mist drifting away.

A long sigh came from the depths of the distant Buddhist kingdom.

The Buddha's thousand-armed form gradually faded away, and whispers seemed to emanate from the chanting.

Zheng Jun sheathed his sword, glanced at the healed spatial traces, and sneered. Without hesitation, he tore through space as well and gave chase.

Will everything be alright if we escape to the outer heavens?

Think beautiful!
Today, I will surely cut you down from your horse!
……

Beyond the heavens, chaotic gales howled like knives.

From the shattered void rift, Master Wanfa staggered out, his Taoist robe torn to shreds, and the severed finger on his left arm was still wreathed in purple-gold imperial energy, which sizzled at the wound.

Master Wanfa's face was ashen, and his pupils trembled violently as he stared at the distorted and discolored starry river before him.

"Cough cough... We've been forced into this situation..."

Master Wanfa is not in good condition. He is very wary of the entire outer realm of the Heavenly Realm. He has always opposed the Heavenly Realm, but now he has no choice but to do so in order to save his life.

After taking a deep breath, Master Wanfa coughed up a few strands of blood mixed with embers, his fingertips trembling as he calculated directions.

A thousand years of cultivation were now as fragile as a candle in the wind; his divine sense was shattered by the gale as soon as it extended three zhang.

"Zheng Jun, you brat... do you really intend to exterminate us all?!"

He turned around abruptly, but before the void rift behind him had fully closed, a purple-gold blade of light was already chasing after him like a persistent carbuncle!
Master Wanfa retreated in horror, flinging seven crimson talismans from his sleeve to form an array in an attempt to defend himself! "Boom!"

The blade shattered the last barrier, and Zheng Jun stepped out of the cauldron, nine dark yellow dragon shadows coiling around his body, briefly forcing back the raging gale.

His imperial robes fluttered in the chaos. He coldly looked at the Wanfa Shangren, who was like a trapped beast: "Qingxu, you want to leave?"

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place in the Outer Heavens, a place that Zheng Jun is quite wary of.

After all, the Nascent Soul and Great Emperor realms of Xuanhuang and Luotian can see the battle situation in the Outer Heavens if they have free time. If it cannot be resolved quickly, problems may arise.

Master Wanfa's tattered Taoist robe fluttered in the fierce wind, and the last remaining blue light of "Tao Wuwei" around him flickered like a candle in the wind.

He stared intently at Zheng Jun, who was approaching on a cauldron, and hissed, "Zheng Jun! Are you really going to fight to the death?! This Outer Heaven is extremely dangerous. If we attract the 'Devouring Beast,' we will both perish here!"

"The fish will die, but the net will not break."

Zheng Jun sneered, and the Dragon Abyss Blade was drawn with a clang. Wherever the blade pointed, the chaotic gale was actually cleaved open, creating a vacuum crack.

With a single step, the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons thunderously suppressed all directions, completely sealing off the retreat of the Master of Ten Thousand Laws: "You used the 'Wandering the Jianghu' Dharma form to wreak havoc on the world, and you used the disciples of the Taiping Dao to steal the fortune of the common people... Today, I will, on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, slay this parasite of yours!"

"Insanity!"

Master Wanfa's eyes widened in fury, and he clasped his hands together abruptly, causing a surge of azure light emanating from his body, a light that seemed to emanate from the Dao of Non-Action. Within that azure light, countless Daoist runes appeared, coiling around Zheng Jun like chains: "Even if all that remains of my thousand years of cultivation is the Dao of Non-Action, I can still show you what the 'Oneness of All Laws' truly means!"

"Buzz!"

The moment the azure chains touched Zheng Jun's imperial aura, they began to devour the purple-gold energy as if they were alive. The Master of Ten Thousand Laws laughed wildly: "'The Dao of Non-Action' can transform all laws into firewood! Your imperial aura is nothing but nourishment for my life!"

"is it?"

Zheng Jun's eyes turned cold, and a bronze compass suddenly flew out from his sleeve.

On the surface of the plate, the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma image manifested. The phantom embracing the sun and moon opened its mouth and inhaled, actually reversing all the imperial energy that had been devoured in the blue light chains!

"what?!"

Master Wanfa's pupils constricted sharply. He never expected that the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma Image would have such power. After all, in the hands of True Lord Fulong of Shangdong, this Dharma Image was not particularly impressive!

Before Master Wanfa could react, Zheng Jun had already struck him down with a single blow.

Before the blade even arrived, the chaotic void beneath his feet suddenly collapsed.

The illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons had transformed into a cage at some point, completely solidifying the space around him!

"Crack!"

The Dragon Abyss Blade slashed through the azure light, severing Master Wanfa's right arm at the shoulder. Before the severed arm could fall, it was shredded to dust by the chaotic gale.

Master Wanfa immediately retreated, and a blue light flowed from the severed arm, attempting to regenerate the limb.

However, the Purple Gold Emperor's Qi was like a bone-deep boil, scorching the 'Dao Wuwei' source within his body.

"it's useless."

Zheng Jun stepped closer, his blade pointing at the man's brow: "'The Way of Non-Action' excels at harmonizing all things, yet it fears most the suppressive Way of the 'Lord of the World'... This strike of mine is specifically to slay your 'Non-Action'!"

Before the words were even finished, the Dragon Abyss Blade suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light. Nine cauldron inscriptions appeared on the blade, revealing that Zheng Jun had poured the entire essence of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image into it!
"The outcome remains to be seen!"

Master Wanfa used his last bit of magical power to unleash the primordial principle of 'Tao is without action'.

The azure light transformed into a twelve-petaled lotus platform that protected the body, with phantom images of dynasties such as Xia, Wei, and Yu appearing on the lotus petals.

This is the dynasty's fortune that he has secretly stolen over the past thousand years!
They even looted the ancient tombs of all the dynasties.

"boom--!!!"

The moment the blade collided with the lotus platform, the entire chaotic void shattered like a mirror.

The dissipating shockwave pulverized a meteor shower thousands of miles away, and even froze the raging gale.

When the light faded, only a distorted blue light remained in the void where Master Wanfa had been.

The lotus platform had long since shattered, and his hunched figure was curled up in the center of the blue light, his body covered with purple-gold cracks.

"So... you were already on guard against my 'Tao of Non-Action' all along..."

Master Wanfa coughed up black blood mixed with runes, and laughed bitterly, "What a 'stealing the secrets of heaven'... You've even figured out my methods for stealing the dynasty's fortune..."

Zheng Jun sheathed his sword and indifferently raised his hand. The nine illusory cauldrons suddenly closed in, crushing the azure light and the Venerable Wanfa together!
"I cannot help but have plotted against you, it's just that your methods were just right to be countered by the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' technique."

Zheng Jun's cold voice echoed in the chaos.

Showing off this in front of the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma image?
This is like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu (a legendary Chinese martial artist).

Zheng Jun raised his hand and made a gesture. A wisp of green light flew out from the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons, which was the remaining divine soul of Master Wanfa.

The soul struggled and twisted, and the ferocious face of the Myriad Laws Master could be vaguely seen, but it was firmly imprisoned by the Purple-Gold Emperor Qi and could not break free.

Zheng Jun still has a use for this soul.

This will be perfect for enhancing the fortune of the Xuantian Sect.

This satisfies the point of repaying one's debt for "stealing heavenly secrets".

Whether Master Wanfa can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in the Xuanhuang Realm, and what he thinks after regaining his memories, is none of my business.

It will take him at least a hundred years to rebuild his cultivation. Zheng Jun was able to kill him before then, and he will be able to do so in the future.

Just as Zheng Jun was about to tear through the void and return to the Yanfu Realm, a long, drawn-out whale cry suddenly came from the depths of chaos.

"Ok?"

Zheng Jun was taken aback. The sound pierced through the gale, causing the shattered fragments of the void around him to tremble, and the distant starry river suddenly twisted and collapsed!

Zheng Jun suddenly looked up and saw a semi-transparent giant claw emerging from the void in the dark chaos in the far distance. Where the claw tip swept, the stars vanished like bubbles.

Immediately afterwards, a massive shadow slowly appeared from the distance.

The shadow resembled a giant whale, but was even larger than a mountain. Its entire body was covered with ancient, bluish-gray scales, each scale engraved with mysterious natural Dao patterns.

The entire whale exuded an aura of danger.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun was stunned for a moment before finding the beast's name in the memories of the Azure Sky Immortal.

"You Tiankun?!"

Zheng Jun's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately suppressed his aura, the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons transforming into a faint light that enveloped his body.

You Tiankun is an ancient beast born from chaos, feeding on shattered worlds.

This beast usually slumbers in the depths of chaos. Once it awakens, it will go out to hunt for food. Its strength is terrifying. Although it cannot match the Dao Lord, it is a supreme existence among beings at the Dharma Aspect and Nascent Soul levels.

This You Tiankun is one of the weaker beings among the ancient beasts that devour the world.

but……

In the memory of the Immortal Lord of Immortality, this beast usually lived in groups, with more than ten of them moving together at once. Why was there only one this time?
Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Zheng Jun's eyes.

You Tiankun feeds on shattered worlds and contains a large amount of world origin within his body.

If we could kill it, it would be no less than experiencing a gluttonous feast!

If more than ten roaming Kun were to move together, Zheng Jun would naturally have no chance to make a move. But now that only one is wandering around, it gives Zheng Jun a sense of urgency to take action.

only……

Zheng Jun's eyes flashed as he looked around.

Luo Tian Realm, Xuanhuang Realm... and even Yanfu Realm!

Clearly, they all exist at the same level and share the same thoughts.

The lone You Tiankun, a creature that is rarely seen even once in tens of thousands of years, suddenly appears here today. How could it not stir the hearts of all living beings?

The next moment, a sword beam emanated from within the Xuanhuang Realm.

The strongest being in the Xuanhuang Realm, and even the Three Realms, the peak late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch Xuanqiong Yuxiao, has already made his move! (End of Chapter)
