The God of Heavens

Chapter 369 Three Knives, Three Swords, Three Divine Weapons

The Dream God Machine before my eyes, though seemingly close at hand, carries an illusory quality, as if it were woven from countless emotions.

His face showed no trace of detachment or indifference; instead, it was gentle and approachable. Anyone who met him would feel that he was a close friend, a wise elder who could guide them, or a trustworthy older brother.

Especially those eyes, which held the beauty of spring flowers and autumn moon, the gentle flow of rivers, the vicissitudes of life and the romance of nature, as well as a deep interest in all things.

This is by no means the eye of a Taoist practitioner; instead, it is filled with the mundane world, as if one can never let go of the joys and sorrows of the mortal realm, which is the complete opposite of "the supreme being who has forgotten emotions."

Such a being is terrifying if he becomes an enemy, but even more frightening if he becomes a friend.

"Let me experience your profound understanding of the Great Dao!" Meng Shenji said.

He said no more, his eyes suddenly changed, and a gentle breeze blew out from between his brows, instantly transforming into a large bell that shimmered with blue light.

The bell has an ancient and simple appearance, seemingly cast in bronze. The moment it appears, it exudes a sense of weight, vastness, and solidity, as if it can reverse the passage of time from ancient times to the present.

However, it is not a physical object, but a deity visualized in the mind of the dream god.

"The Daoist arts of the Supreme Dao involve visualizing neither Daoist deities nor gods, but rather this bell-shaped magical artifact. This is the embodiment of the power of 'Cosmos' from the Supreme Dao's supreme cultivation method, the 'Two Scriptures of the Universe'!"

Lin Yu had been here for many years and finally witnessed this supernatural power.

This large bell, besides exuding a heavy and majestic aura, is also covered with numerous inscriptions, which seem to swim endlessly like tadpoles.

The four directions and the top and bottom are called the universe, and the past and present are called the cosmos.

All time in the universe, past, present, and future, falls within the scope of time.

At this moment, Meng Shenji is using the Supreme Dao's method of time evolution—the Clock of the Universe, which can suppress the long river of time throughout the ages and has unfathomable power!
"Boom!"

As soon as the bell rang, Lin Yu felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire. Any movement, including the thought process and the power of his soul, became sluggish!

He immediately understood that this was the Dream God activating the Supreme Dao Treasure "Zhouji Bell," which altered the flow of time around him.

In this situation, one's thoughts are almost frozen, turning them into a wooden puppet bodhisattva in a temple.

"The Taoist arts of the Supreme Tao are indeed well-deserved of their reputation!"

Lin Yu laughed loudly, and the magical power within his body surged violently, instantly breaking through the constraints of time.

Although in every universe and every world, the power of spacetime is the supreme law of the universe.

However, the power of spacetime is infinite, while the power of cultivators is finite. Lin Yu does not need to fight against the universe; he only needs to break through Meng Shenji's true energy.

"The Great Thousand Seals!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and threw a punch, and the phantom of the Great Thousand World appeared. A huge power went berserk, and light mingled in all directions, creating an extremely powerful aura.

Under the impact of Lin Yu's punch, Meng Shenji's Cosmic Bell actually cracked, just like porcelain!
Meng Shenji's eyes suddenly changed, and a myriad of emotions surfaced, with joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion surging like a tide.

Countless threads of emotion intertwined, forming a vast net that blotted out the sky, descending upon Lin Yu.

"Human emotions are countless. What is the sea of ​​suffering? The word 'love' itself is the sea of ​​suffering!" Meng Shenji's voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens.

"I have woven this net with the compassion of all living beings; can you see through it?"

That net of love seemed to encompass all living beings in the world, and all emotions; once touched, they were like insects caught in the net, struggling to escape and getting tighter and tighter.

Friendship, family, love, compassion
A multitude of emotions entangled him, even the violent intent of his fist was firmly trapped.

"Sword of Wisdom! Slash!"

Suddenly, dazzling sword light burst forth from Lin Yu's body, and countless intelligent sword energies crisscrossed and cut across the area.

However, though the net of love was severed, it was immediately reborn. The severed threads of love became more and more entangled, surging in layer upon layer like ocean waves.

"The sword of wisdom severs the threads of love? Alas, the threads of love are endless." Meng Shenji stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering.

His voice carried an detached, almost divine quality: "The higher the wisdom, the harder the emotional hurdle. Who in this world can truly transcend it?"

Lin Yu did not speak, nor did he unleash his full power.

He hoped to use this encounter to understand the core power and profound mysteries of the Yang God "Tai" and integrate them into his own system.

In a brief exchange, he had already glimpsed the profound mysteries of the Bell of the Universe and the Way of Love.

In particular, the "net of love" is a web of troubles woven from the emotional threads of all beings. Such methods are no longer Taoist arts, but rather a natural phenomenon.

People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

The web of afflictions woven from the threads of sentient beings' emotions specifically traps even the wise.

The deeper the wisdom, the heavier the troubles.

With such methods, it's no wonder that Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji were extremely wary of him.

"red lotus!"

Lin Yu uttered two words, and a massive karmic fire erupted. This was a supernatural power he had comprehended from the other side of the gods, specifically designed to overcome all karmic obstacles and sever ties of cause and effect.

In an instant, the karmic fire surged like a tidal wave, surging and raging, and continued to rise rapidly, filling the heavens and the earth in the blink of an eye, even making the entire East Sea seem to boil.

The vast net woven from the threads of love shattered in the karmic fire of the red lotus and was forcibly set ablaze.

The so-called power of love threads is invisible and formless, entangling people's thoughts, but it could not withstand Lin Yu's forceful overcoming of skill. With immense power, he burned the entire love web to ashes.

"Primordial Great Luo Seal!"

With a long shout, Lin Yu unleashed a divine light of gold, silver, and lead that shot into the sky from the top of his head. His primordial essence, primordial qi, and primordial spirit merged into one, perfectly harmonious and unobstructed.

In an instant, his aura suddenly increased several times, his body shone with brilliance, and every inch of his flesh and blood exuded amazing vitality.

His aura was as deep and boundless as the ocean, causing the space within a hundred miles to distort and dim, as if the whole world had lost its color in his presence.

Boom!

A surge of primordial magical power, like an ancient divine dragon, burst forth from the void, enveloping the four corners of the universe and the eight directions of the void. In an instant, it struck Meng Shenji.

This strike contains the essence of the Three Elements: the ethereal and ever-changing nature of the soul, the unparalleled ferocity of martial arts, and transcends the boundaries of time and space. Therefore, once it is unleashed, it takes almost no time, making it impossible to defend against.

"Boom!"

At the critical moment, the Bell of the Universe rang once again.

However, this time the bell could no longer withstand the impact of the fist imprint, and it was shattered with a loud bang!
The violent true energy surged straight in, heading directly for the Dream God Machine's true form!

"What power is this?"

At this moment, a hint of surprise finally flashed in Meng Shenji's eyes.

Lin Yu's magical power is extracted from the primordial energy, essence, and spirit of the human body, possessing the wonders of essence, energy, and spirit, and is also fused with the primordial energy of the heavens and the celestial and terrestrial energy.

Once mastered, its degree of self-integration and harmony with the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth is far beyond what ordinary true qi can achieve.

The Primordial Great Luo Seal, unstoppable, shattered the Bell of the Universe one after another, and was about to strike Meng Shenji's true form. At the critical moment, a phantom image of a round sky and a square earth suddenly appeared around Meng Shenji—

The projection of the Primordial First Artifact, "Eternal Kingdom"!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Amidst deafening explosions, the Great Luo Seal bombarded the illusory image of the Eternal Kingdom like a torrential downpour.

The collision of the two supreme forces resonated with the heavens and earth, as if a myriad of celestial sounds were playing in unison.

"Humph!"

Meng Shenji let out a cold snort, and a divine blade flew out from between his brows. Flowing lines crisscrossed the blade, as if time itself were passing by.

"Heaven's will is like a knife, time is like a knife, slay!"

The Supreme Blade of Time slashed down from the sky, seemingly illusory and ethereal, yet it contained the power of time, giving off an aura that could cause all things to vanish and could not withstand the test of time.

It is as if it is a symbol of the will of Heaven, seemingly carrying the will of the world, with a sense of being irresistible, unstoppable, and indelible.

The surrounding energy was cut off, and the river of time seemed to have abandoned him at this moment.

At this moment, he seemed to have become an outcast of heaven and earth, all alone, and it seemed that only death under this blade was the right ending for him.

"Destroy the world!"

Before Lin Yu finished speaking, his magical power was already circulating again, and all the acupoints in his body were simultaneously rotating and vibrating, releasing all the internal energy, which surged and surged.

His physical body tore through the surrounding air and ocean, creating a long spatial corridor.

He actually used the power of the World-Destroying Fist to reverse the flow of time—after all, if the world is destroyed, time will cease to exist.

Boom!

It was as if the entire universe had been shattered by this single punch.

Although the power of time on the Dream God's Divine Blade is unpredictable and difficult to deal with, Lin Yu has gathered the power of several worlds, countless divine skills and supreme fist intent. How could the power of time alone be easily shaken?
"Sword of Heaven's Will, Sword of the Universe, come forth!"

Seeing that the Blade of Time could not harm Lin Yu, Meng Shenji remained calm and raised his hand, sending two more divine blades flying out from the void.

One of them was also invisible, with only the shadow of a blade, as unfathomable as the will of heaven; the other revealed the form of the Supreme Dao's "Tower of the Universe", but it was more refined and sharp, enough to cut through the universe.

In the past, Emperor Pan possessed three swords: Life, Void, and Time.

The Supreme Being also possesses three swords: the Will of Heaven, the Universe, and Time.

Lin Yu had just experienced the power of the Blade of Time.

At this moment, the Blade of Heavenly Will, carrying a mysterious power that surpasses all living beings, and the Blade of the Universe, concealing the sharpness to cut through all things, joined the battle alongside the Blade of Time, heading straight for Lin Yu to kill him.

"Slicing through the sky!"

With the divine blade drawn, the Universe Blade was already in Meng Shenji's hand, and he slashed down with it!

Chi!

Lin Yu's world-destroying fist intent was actually shattered in an instant!
"Shifting Time and Space!"

The Blade of Heavenly Will was once again grasped by Meng Shenji in his other hand. With another slash, time and space shifted, and the will of heaven descended, unmatched!

"Everything has come to nothing!"

With a cold shout, Meng Shenji merged with his sword. In the blink of an eye, the three swords—Heavenly Will, Universe, and Time—resonated, and the surrounding void suddenly changed color.

A thunderous divine sound exploded, and the sword energy swept across the sky, impacting the surrounding void. It seemed to cleave even the chaos, swallowing up the endless turbulent power and transforming it into part of the sword's light.

"The Primordial Return to Nothingness Seal!"

Faced with Meng Shenji's three combined swords, wielding supreme divine will to strike him, Lin Yu remained unmoved, his fist intent surging, his physical body expanding, and his five fingers joined together to meet Meng Shenji's three divine swords head-on.

This punch seemed to reduce the world to nothingness, all things to emptiness, heaven and earth to silence, and the laws of nature to obliterate.

That power that reduced everything to nothingness was terrifying; no matter what kind of power it was, it could not break down or absorb it.

Even the Dream God Machine couldn't do it.

"what?!"

Meng Shenji's indifferent expression underwent a dramatic change for the first time, suddenly becoming extremely solemn.

He rose rapidly, unleashing the full power of his three combined sword strikes, unleashing countless sword energies in an attempt to annihilate the power of the Void. However—

"boom!"

The moment the fist imprint collided with the sword energy, the will of heaven shattered, the universe collapsed, time ceased to exist, and the sword energy of the three divine swords was completely destroyed and utterly disintegrated.

The power of the Primordial Void struck Meng Shenji without any hindrance.

"puff--"

The Supreme Dao Master spat out a mouthful of blood, his robes ripped to shreds, and the illusory image of the Eternal Kingdom trembled violently around him, showing signs of collapse.

For the first time, Meng Shenji's heavy breathing echoed in the void.

"Primordial Heavenly Gate, countless symbols return to one!"

Lin Yu let out a long roar, and his body erupted with an earth-shattering aura.

The Primordial Heavenly Gate completely merged with him, countless runes intertwined in the void, the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi surged, the Primordial Thunder Pool boiled, and the entire world seemed to be returning to chaos.

"Rumble--"

The terrifying energy fluctuations, like a world-ending hurricane, swept across all directions, causing the void within a radius of a thousand miles to tremble violently and ripple like water, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.

This earth-shattering power finally made Meng Shenji change color.

"Yang Qian! That's enough for today!"

Meng Shenji acted decisively, his blade slicing through the void as he gracefully retreated. This Supreme Dao Master sensed Lin Yu's resolute intent to perish together and, for the first time, chose to temporarily avoid a direct confrontation.

Only his icy voice echoed within the void rift: "Wait until I have fully comprehended your Primordial Dao, then we shall settle our differences!"

Lin Yu gazed in the direction where Meng Shenji had disappeared and slowly withdrew his aura.

The Primordial Heavenly Gate reappeared, and within the chaotic world inside, the phantoms of three divine blades could be vaguely seen being slowly refined.

Although this battle failed to capture Meng Shenji, it forced the world's number one player to retreat for the first time.

“Next time,” Lin Yu’s eyes gleamed, “I won’t let you leave so easily.”
