My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 723 Jade Emperor's Mirror Image
Did they escape?

Looking at the strange space that had suddenly appeared before him, Li Wei's expression showed not joy at escaping danger, but rather a strong sense of vigilance.

Since the path to becoming the Heavenly Emperor is a testing ground, one must inevitably follow one's own testing logic.

As part of the logic, even if the Jade Emperor's projection is highly spiritual, it should not violate the rules and procedures of the examination hall.

but now,
He actually led me out of the first test and into the second?
Heavenly Dao 0.81's tone was also somewhat grave, and he whispered in his heart: [Master, this Jade Emperor projection seems a bit off. Please be very careful!]

Perhaps even the Jade Emperor's projection knew it had gone too far, so it actually offered an explanation:

"Don't even think about it! With your willpower being this strong, plus the title of 'ruthless person,' passing through the hellish oil cauldron is only a matter of time."

"So I'm just helping you move this process forward."

"If you weren't strong enough, even if I were to help, I wouldn't be able to."

Whether He believed it or not, Li Wei did: "Then, Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, can you now get off me?"

"Hmph! Come down if you want. These young people nowadays really don't care about us old folks at all. Back when I was the Heavenly Emperor, so many people wanted to become my mounts, but I wouldn't let them."

The Jade Emperor's projection slowly released his grip and jumped off Li Wei, seemingly still wanting more.

But before He landed...
A loud bang suddenly erupted around Li Wei, and then an enormous mirror fell from the void, reflecting onto him!

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor's projection reacted as if its rear end was on fire, leaping back onto Li Wei's back and exclaiming in surprise:
"Kid, the second test is here, so be very careful!!"

Although Li Wei really wanted to get rid of that stinky projection, the mirror contained some kind of special power that involuntarily drew his gaze and attention to it.

The bronze-colored mirror was completely empty.

But the moment Li Wei's gaze fell upon it,

Suddenly, a Jade Emperor, dressed in a royal robe and wearing an imperial crown, appeared in the mirror, looking even younger and more youthful.

When their eyes met...
The reflection of the Jade Emperor suddenly grinned, then took a step out and actually walked out of the mirror world, appearing in front of Li Wei.

boom! ! !
The terrifying aura of the Earth Immortal Realm soared into the sky, carrying with it an indescribable and horrifying evil energy that dyed the surrounding void red.

Li Wei's hair stood on end instantly, sensing a long-lost threat.

The Jade Emperor projection on his back shrank back, clinging tightly to Li Wei's back, not daring to show its head at all.

"Kid, this is my Earth Immortal realm, you better not get killed!"

Li Wei's eyes narrowed immediately.

The Jade Emperor at the Earth Immortal realm and the Jade Emperor at the Earth Immortal realm are completely different concepts.
After all, the Jade Emperor, who was at the Earth Immortal realm, had not yet become the Heavenly Emperor; at most, he was just a powerful Earth Immortal cultivator.

The Jade Emperor's Earth Immortal realm is part of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, granting him mastery of all the secret techniques from his prime.
And it is very likely

They were able to borrow the terrifying, supreme power of the Jade Emperor, who held sway over the human world during the Heavenly Dao 4.0 era!

Using something like this to test newly ascended gods—which of them could withstand such a test?

But what's even more interesting is...

Two Jade Emperors appeared in one exam?
A projection, a mirror image.

Is this normal?

Before Li Wei could think it through, the Jade Emperor's image opposite him suddenly opened his arms and threw a punch forward.

[Supreme Divine Power - Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Fist!!]

boom! ! !
The surrounding space-time exploded instantly, transforming into a cycle of laws that converged on the Jade Emperor's fist, reenacting the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth.

All of a sudden.

The world before Li Wei's eyes was completely distorted, turning into a giant vortex.

And He, like a splash of paint, fell rapidly into the surrounding distorted spacetime along with it!
The Jade Emperor's mirror image actually changed the world with its fist power, reenacting the laws of the entire world?
Is this the power of the Jade Emperor's ultimate move?

Li Wei thought that Shang Hao's method of shooting down the giant of Liangshan Marsh with the help of the Heavenly Court's army was strong enough, but he did not expect that the Jade Emperor's killing move was even more terrifying!
And this is only the opponent's Earth Immortal realm!
If the Jade Emperor were at his peak, with the authority of the Heavenly Court in his hands, and the power of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions gathered, how strong would he be?
Compared to Him, Shanghao, who has only reigned for a little over a thousand years, is truly just a child!

boom! !

The Jade Emperor's projection gave an evil smile and suddenly thrust its fist forward.

Thus, reincarnation continued to evolve in His hands, developing into an even more terrifying and profound power, determined to continue crushing Li Wei's physical body.

A click!
A dark, phantom image of a monkey king suddenly appeared behind Li Wei.
Immediately following, the primordial demon god power from the second incarnation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven suddenly erupted from Li Wei, bestowing upon him a dense array of boundless demon cultivation terms!
However, these entries are all from the mortal realm, and they are no longer of much significance to Li Wei at present.

So He quietly activated the loophole in the [Reversal of Fortune and Destiny] again.
He forcibly realized the impossible by using his divine power as an immortal to cleanse these mortal realm entries and forcibly elevate their status.

boom! !

Countless terms instantly transformed into demon god terms, then erupted from Li Wei with earth-shattering power!

In terms of violence alone,

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is undoubtedly the number one in the Three Realms.

Even Li Wei could not withstand the blessing of the second incarnation of the myth, so he could only channel this power into his flesh and blood, causing his immortal body to expand uncontrollably and crash headlong into the cycle of reincarnation.

[Open it!!]

Just like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who once transcended the Three Realms and was no longer within the Five Elements, Li Wei directly shattered the Samsara in the Jade Emperor's hand with a single headbutt!

It continued forward with undiminished momentum, crashing into the body of the Jade Emperor's mirror image.

With a crash, the Jade Emperor's body shattered.

But what gushed from the wound wasn't blood, but countless yellow droplets, looking almost like...
—The Underworld?!

This mirror image is actually connected to the power of the underworld?

【Ah】

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, his face growing increasingly sinister, yet at the same time, an indescribable holy and noble light emanated from it.

He clasped his hands together and then suddenly opened them.

And so a nearly boundless yellow river appeared in His hand and gushed down toward Li Wei.

[Supreme Divine Power - Crossing the Yellow Springs!]

Li Wei instinctively stepped back, but with one step, he jumped directly into the Yellow Springs and was submerged by the infinite laws.

next moment,
The demon god inscription on his body began to fade, and the body of the second incarnation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven began to dim rapidly, as if it was about to disappear from the spot.

Tiandao0.81 almost cursed when he saw this.

My master has the help of the Second Dao.
There are also more than 500 heaven-defying loopholes, including the Dragon Transformation Crown and the Reversal of Fortune and Destiny. Even without the World Giant, its combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary Golden Immortal cultivator!

But how could this mirror image be able to overpower Li Wei?
Can someone from a humble background in the era of Heaven's Way 4.0 be stronger than Him?

This is unreasonable!!!

It's impossible for the Jade Emperor to set such a terrifying test for cultivators from humble backgrounds, so after much deliberation, Heavenly Dao 0.81 could only come to one conclusion.

【Master, I'm afraid that, just like when we faced the trials of the mountain of knives and the boiling oil, the trial you're now facing, the trial of the Jade Emperor's mirror image, is far more difficult than any normal trial!】

Li Wei thought so too.

Then the problem is coming.

Why are His trials doubled?

What makes him different from the other candidates?!

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor's projection on His back suddenly spoke, interrupting His thoughts:
"Be careful, my mirror image has no protection. If you fail the challenge, you really will die!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei immediately stiffened and transformed into a Kunpeng, using the Northern Underworld Lord's control over all the waters of the world to resist the Yellow Springs' erosion.

then!

Boom! ...
A massive amount of purple-gold lightning erupted from His eyes, instantly mobilizing boundless calamity.

"Robbery techniques?"

Under the terrifying pressure of the cycle of reincarnation, Li Wei no longer had the strength to conceal the traces of his killing move.

So finally, the Jade Emperor's projection on his back noticed the problem. At this moment, He looked at the purple-gold lightning in the sky in disbelief, and a fierce look quickly appeared in His eyes.

"I see"

Li Wei no longer had time to notice the anomaly in the Jade Emperor's projection behind him.

At this moment, all of His divine power was used to manipulate the lightning, and through the [Robbery Law - Killing Intent], He continuously purified and catalyzed the power of the lightning, ultimately condensing the sky full of lightning into a single bolt.

[Open it for me!]

The cycle of reincarnation in the underworld was directly cleaved open by lightning!

The evil, grinning image of the Jade Emperor finally changed color, summoning the waters of the Yellow Springs to block its path, but it was no match for them and was pierced directly by the lightning!
The Jade Emperor's image flew backwards.

Several huge wounds suddenly appeared on his body.

Immediately following, countless fine cracking sounds, like a mirror shattering, rang out within his body, causing his body to stiffen involuntarily.

Seeing this, Li Wei certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity. He rushed over immediately, clenched his fists, and smashed them directly onto His head!
The Jade Emperor's image retreated again, but its gaze slowly shifted downwards, locking onto Li Wei once more.

Boom! !

A colossal city gate descended from the sky, crashing down on Li Wei like a shackle, almost suffocating him.

First the Yellow Springs, now the Gates of Hell—can He possibly use the entire cycle of reincarnation in the underworld?

Heavenly Dao 0.81 coldly said: [Master, although this guy's realm is only Earth Immortal, the power of laws he uses, as well as his supernatural abilities, have clearly surpassed that of an Earth Immortal, reaching the peak of the Jade Emperor's power.]

His principles completely crush your laws!

However, regardless of the circumstances, His cultivation level was only Earth Immortal, and the divine power contained within His body was finite; it was simply impossible for Him to sustain the massive consumption of supreme divine power techniques!

Therefore, as long as we hold out, His divine power will eventually run dry!

But the problem is,

The others won't give Li Wei any time to stall.

Whoosh.

The body of Cihang Bodhisattva appeared behind Li Wei, clearly indicating that he had passed the first trial of hell and arrived at the second trial.

Upon seeing Li Wei being held back by the Jade Emperor's mirror image, He was overjoyed and approached Li Wei without hesitation, grabbing at his body!
【Benefactor, I see you have an affinity with Buddhism. Why don't you return with me to the Buddhist order to cultivate and attain enlightenment on the path to transcendence?】
