The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 105 The Wonderful Use of the One Lifetime Law: The Innate Dao Embryo?

Thunder is both the path of destruction and the path of creation!
For ordinary cultivators, the Heavenly Tribulation is a terrifying calamity brought down by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, a calamity that makes people turn pale at the mere mention of it and try to avoid it at all costs.

But for true prodigies, the Heavenly Tribulation is a gift from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, one of the greatest creations in this universe.

Just like Zhong Xu at this moment, although he was being baptized by the heavenly tribulation, with his bones and flesh constantly breaking and regenerating, he slowly came to like the feeling of constantly transforming with the power of thunder, experiencing both pain and joy.

If he doesn't suffer a few blows from the heavens when he breaks through in the future, he might feel a little uncomfortable.

He now understood why the emperors of the Shrouding the Heavens universe were all so stubborn; these emperors, who were constantly struck by lightning, were probably all incredibly stubborn.

Boom boom boom

The thunder continued for an unknown period of time, and seemingly unable to subdue Zhong Xu, its power continued to increase, becoming more and more terrifying.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhong Xu's body was no longer able to keep up with the speed at which it was destroyed by the power of thunder.

Sensing the changes in his body, Zhong Xu's heart stirred, and the system of the One Life Law began to operate, with his inner world merging with the external world.

In an instant, the energy within his body merged with the external universe, and his entire being seemed to transform into a black hole. The surging essence of heaven and earth naturally merged into his inner world, and then flowed into various secret realms.

In terms of direct combat ability, the First Life Method is indeed far inferior to the Secret Realm Method in the early stages. However, as a cultivation system closely related to the structure of the outside world, the First Life Method far surpasses the Secret Realm Method, which does not rely on external objects and focuses on itself, in terms of the unity of heaven and man and the harmony with the Dao.

There is no superiority or inferiority between the two; they are simply different in style and approach.

Now, with the operation of the One Lifetime Law, the rich essence of heaven and earth is flowing into Zhong Xu's various secret realms, transforming into the vital energy that powers these realms.

A crackling sound rang out, and Zhong Xu's bones and flesh were constantly writhing, rapidly recovering.

At the same time, as the One Life Law was in operation, his own energy merged with the external universe, becoming incredibly close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The speed at which the laws of Heaven and Earth were imprinted on Zhong Xu's limbs also increased, and his body became more and more in harmony with the external world.

The power of the thunder continued to increase, but Zhong Xu seemed to have merged with the external universe, dealing with it with increasing ease.

"What a terrible calamity!"

Not far from the sea of ​​lightning, many cultivators from the Ji family and the demon race looked at the vast sea of ​​lightning and felt the destructive power contained within it, but they all showed lingering fear.

They felt that if an ordinary cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm were inside the sea of ​​lightning, a single bolt of lightning would probably reduce them to ashes.

This shows just how terrifying this calamity and sea of ​​lightning were.

More importantly, they sensed that the power of this sea of ​​lightning was still increasing.

One can imagine the immense pressure the Demon Emperor endured while undergoing his tribulation within it.

Amidst the crowd, Ji Zi gazed at the figure within the sea of ​​lightning, sensing the change in his aura. A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes as she murmured, "An innate Dao embryo?"

After a long pause, he shook his head again: "It's somewhat different from the innate Dao embryo. What kind of physique is this? How come it feels so much like the innate Dao embryo, so perfectly in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?"

Boom boom boom

A constant roar echoed from the sea of ​​thunder, with various bolts of lightning exploding continuously.

It was unclear how long this lasted, but seemingly because it couldn't do anything to Zhong Xu, the Heavenly Tribulation was completely enraged. The power of the lightning suddenly stopped striking Zhong Xu, but instead revealed an even more terrifying scene.

Above the vast sky, amidst an endless sea of ​​thunder, a magnificent and imposing palace complex looms in and out of sight, as if the ancient celestial court has descended upon the mortal realm once more.

In the air not far away, many cultivators from the Ji family and the demon race stared in disbelief at the magnificent building in the sea of ​​lightning, as if they had lost the ability to speak.

After a long while, someone finally came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise:
"what is that?"

"How could a palace complex appear in the sea of ​​thunder?"

"Could there really be an ancient celestial court in this world?"

"Hey, there seem to be figures made of lightning among the palace complex!"

As voices rang out, even the powerful figures from the Ji family and the demon race were shocked by the scene before them.

They had seen cultivators undergo tribulations before; in fact, to reach the level of a second-tier immortal, each of them was a prodigy in their youth.

Although they didn't encounter the tribulation of lightning as directly as this Demon Emperor when breaking through the Four Extremes Secret Realm, they were all figures who had experienced tribulation of lightning.

However, they never saw the palace complex during the heavenly tribulation.

This grand scene, resembling the descent of an ancient celestial court, deeply shocked everyone present.

On the field, beneath the boundless sea of ​​lightning, Zhong Xu's figure soared into the air, facing the magnificent palace complex in the sky.

He felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, the operation of the secret realm's magic system gave rise to a heartfelt sense of heroic spirit to fight against heaven and earth.

At this moment, Shi Hao and Ye Fan possessed his body, as did the great emperors who had undergone tribulations throughout history; he was not fighting alone.

Just then, a phantom Daoist chant resounded, sweeping across heaven and earth, enveloping the universe, and everything around seemed to freeze.

"That is."

The many powerful figures of the Ji family widened their eyes in disbelief as they stared at the frozen void in the distance. This was the Great Dao of Void contained within their Ji family's Imperial Scripture, the "Scripture of Void."

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, a figure made entirely of lightning walked out of the palace above the sea of ​​lightning.

This figure exuded a vast and mighty aura, as if it were something naturally formed by heaven and earth. Above its head hung an ancient mirror, seemingly integrated with the entire void.

"The Void Mirror!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family exclaimed in surprise, but then realized that it was not a real Void Mirror, but a mark left by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which was now manifesting with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation.

If that's the case, then that figure made of lightning must be a trace left by their ancestors between heaven and earth, recorded by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

In a way, this figure can even be considered a manifestation of the Great Dao of their ancestor, the Void Emperor.

Himeko looked at the figure made of lightning, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

Chi!
After the lightning figure with the ancient mirror on its head appeared, it did not utter a word, seemingly acting entirely on instinct without any will of its own.

As Zhong Xu's figure appeared, the ancient mirror above the lightning figure emitted endless divine light, shining directly down on him.

Wherever the light passed, the void instantly froze, and everything was frozen in place.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Xu's internal energy changed, the Void Scripture started operating automatically, and a mysterious ancient mirror, composed entirely of various Dao patterns, materialized in his hand.

The ancient mirror shimmered with light, emitting a faint divine glow that shone towards the figure composed of lightning.

Buzz

The void became hazy as two similar divine lights collided, making everything seem somewhat illusory.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Xu moved his feet, and the void beside him became hazy. He merged into the void and appeared directly in front of the figure made of lightning. He formed a hand seal and slapped down at him.

In an instant, the void surrounding the lightning figure transformed into a palm, descending upon him to seal him away.

Bang

However, in the face of Zhong Xu's attack, the lightning figure also stretched out his palm, and a huge handprint in the void condensed and collided with the palm he sent out.

boom

The void trembled continuously as the two retreated simultaneously.

However, the next moment, the two figures merged into the void at the same time.

Boom boom boom

A series of booming sounds echoed in the void as two figures disappeared and reappeared repeatedly, like ghosts in the void, colliding at extremely high speeds.

Various supernatural powers and techniques were constantly displayed in the Void Scripture. Both of them used the Great Dao of Void, merging their bodies with the void, mixing with all things, and obliterating all things.

After obtaining the seventh move of the Tathagata Palm, "Universal Salvation," a palm technique that governs the universe, Zhong Xu's understanding of the Dao of the Void and the Universe deepened, and his comprehension of the Void Sutra also became more profound.

Furthermore, with the operation of the One Life Law System, he became one with the universe and close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and his application of the Great Dao of Void, which merges with the void, became increasingly perfect.

This involves using the unity of heaven and man in one lifetime to empower oneself, forming a state similar to that of an innate Dao embryo, which is naturally in harmony with the Dao, thereby enhancing the combat power of the secret realm method. It can be considered an initial fusion of the two systems.

Now, facing this thunderous figure formed from the traces left behind by the Void Emperor in the world, Zhong Xu completely regarded it as a whetstone, constantly honing his ability to use this state and enhancing his control over the Great Dao of the Void.

The Ji family members around them, witnessing this scene, were momentarily speechless.

At this moment, they felt that the demon emperor in front of them, and the figure composed of lightning, were the true direct descendants of the Ji family.

He had fully grasped the essence of the "Scripture of Emptiness," the imperial scripture, and had mastered a portion of the Great Dao of Emptiness, meaning that his body merged with the void and all things were consumed.

Even among the original direct descendants of the Ji family, very few could reach this level.

How can it be?

Isn't this Demon Emperor a descendant of the Azure Emperor's lineage?
Even if one obtained the Void Scripture, how could one possibly comprehend this imperial scripture to this extent?

Even in terms of mastering and applying the Great Dao of Void, it seems that they have mastered it more perfectly than the direct descendants of the Ji family!

Inside the Ji family compound, Ji Haoyue stared blankly at the scene, his mind racing with a jumble of thoughts.

He admitted that he was far inferior to this young demon emperor.

However, it now seems that he is not only inferior to this demon emperor in strength, but also far inferior to him in his understanding and control of the family's imperial scriptures.

How can it be?

Ji Haoyue's face showed disbelief.

How long has this demon emperor been holding the Void Scripture? How could his mastery of this imperial scripture and understanding of the Great Dao of Void possibly surpass mine?

You should know that he has been practicing the Void Scripture since he was a child and has received the best education from his family!
At this moment, Ji Haoyue began to question the meaning of life.
