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

Chapter 106 The Eternal Furnace and the Chaotic Azure Lotus, the Eastern Emperor Bell Rings
bang bang

The heavenly tribulation continued, but it was no longer a tribulation of lightning; instead, it manifested as a humanoid figure formed from lightning.

The entire sky seemed to have turned into a void sea, where the two figures constantly collided and disappeared, and ordinary people could not detect their traces at all.

The Void Emperor, whose body merged with the void, was born with an invincible Void Dao, a feat brought to its ultimate expression by the two combatants on the field.

Even those whose cultivation and strength surpassed the two on the field could no longer easily defeat them.

The Ji family members around them watched the two fighting on the field and even comprehended some of the true meaning of the Great Dao of the Void, gaining a deeper understanding of their own "Emperor's Scripture".

This gave them an inexplicable feeling of unease.

They actually gleaned the true meaning of their family's heritage from an outsider!
During the battle, Zhong Xu seemed to be facing the Void Emperor directly. The text of the Void Scripture flowed through his mind, constantly changing and reorganizing, and even contained the true meaning of the Universal Palm of 'Salvation of All Beings', which made his understanding of the Great Dao of the Void increasingly profound.

As time went by, Zhong Xu became increasingly adept at using the various supernatural powers recorded in the Void Scripture, as if he had become a child of the void, able to directly merge into the void with a single thought.

After fighting for an unknown period of time, a strange realization arose in his mind. The text of the Void Scripture merged with the true meaning of 'saving all living beings', giving him a profound feeling and a completely new understanding of the Way of the Void Universe.

Buzz

After another collision, Zhong Xu quickly formed a Buddhist mudra with his hands, and his surroundings suddenly became hazy. Although he was still not far away, he gave people a vague sense of being omnipresent.

boom

The Buddha seal descended into the void ahead, and the next moment, Zhong Xu's figure appeared directly in front of the lightning figure that had just stepped out of the void, as if he had been waiting there all along, giving people a sense of spatial displacement.

A pale golden Buddha's palm appeared, carrying a subtle charm of guiding all living beings, omnipresent and impossible to escape, no matter how the lightning figures continuously merged into the void.

Bang

In an instant, the Buddha's palm landed directly on the head of the lightning figure, and boundless Buddhist light bloomed, carrying the true meaning of saving all living beings, directly turning it into a ball of lightning, which then dissipated into the world.

"what!"

The moment Zhong Xu changed, everyone in the Ji family widened their eyes in disbelief, and even Ji Zi's expression changed.

Just a moment ago, they actually sensed a different kind of void meaning from this demon emperor, one that was different from the Great Dao of Void, yet seemed even more profound.

The subtle, almost omnipresent Daoist aura, as if it were in some special state, made them feel as if they were seeing the state of the "Void Scripture" after its sublimation.

How can it be?

Could it be that this demon emperor actually comprehended a completely new meaning of the void beyond the original void Dao contained in the "Void Scripture"?

How could a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm possibly accomplish such a thing?
Who exactly is the descendant of the Void Emperor?

At this moment, everyone in the Ji family was starting to question their own existence.

Boo!
Just then, a loud bird song rang out, like the cry of a phoenix.

Endless crimson clouds soared into the sky, and a divine phoenix, reborn from the flames, flew out from the palace complex within the sea of ​​thunder, soaring through the nine heavens, burning the world to ashes, and descending towards Zhong Xu.

Within the Divine Phoenix, one can vaguely see a supreme sacred furnace crafted from divine metal.

The smoke and clouds were as red as blood, and the crimson glow illuminated the entire sky.

At this moment, it was as if a new great sun had appeared in the entire sky, rivaling the original sun in brilliance.

"The Sun God's Furnace"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family exclaimed in surprise. As the head of an ancient family, he naturally recognized this famous supreme imperial weapon of the Eastern Wilderness. It was the Sun God Furnace of the Jiang family, which was on par with their Ji family, also known as the Hengyu Furnace.

In that case, this is the trace left by Emperor Hengyu in the world, which was manifested by the heavenly tribulation.

At the same time, the scattered lightning reassembled, forming the figure with the ancient mirror above its head. The light flowed and shone down on Zhong Xu once more, solidifying the void of heaven and earth.

"Emperor Hengyu?"

As the whispers began, Zhong Xu did not show much fear; instead, the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.

After practicing the secret realm technique, Zhong Xu also felt an indescribable longing for battle, a desire to encounter a true opponent.

However, his strength far surpasses that of his peers, and he cannot find a worthy opponent. The lightning figures formed from the traces left by the Great Emperor in the current Heavenly Tribulation can serve as his opponents, allowing him to fully unleash the various techniques he has mastered.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Void Scripture activated, and an ancient mirror materialized above Zhong Xu's head, emitting a beam of light that countered the light that was hurtling towards him.

At the same time, golden light suddenly rose around him, carrying a sacred aura, surrounded by the power of all living beings, and a slightly illusory golden longsword appeared in his hand.

Buzz

The moment the longsword appeared, a majestic and sacred aura of kingship swept across the heavens and earth, causing everyone to instinctively feel awe.

The demons not far away trembled, feeling that the Demon Emperor had become exceptionally terrifying, as if he had become their nemesis.

Zheng!
A deep and resonant sword sound rang out, and Zhong Xu raised his longsword. Scenes of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, the myriad forms of humanity, livestock, and farmland appeared beside him, making his figure appear majestic and solemn.

"This is?"

Everyone was stunned. Was this the Demon Emperor?
Why does he seem a bit like a human emperor?
Before the thoughts in everyone's minds could fully settle, the entire scene of all living beings condensed into a powerful and overwhelming sword aura, slashing towards the divine phoenix descending from the sky.

Wherever the mighty, benevolent sword energy passed, the flames that filled the world were instantly extinguished, as if a human domain had been directly formed, prohibiting all extraordinary powers.

boom

The King's Sword Qi collided with the Divine Phoenix, causing the entire world to roar, and a powerful energy storm spread outwards.

The next moment, two figures made of lightning rushed towards Zhong Xu at the same time, one with an ancient mirror on his head and the other holding a divine furnace.

Zhong Xu showed no fear whatsoever. With an ancient mirror hanging above his head and a long sword in his hand, while ripples of time flowed around him like water, as if he were standing on a point in time, he also rushed towards the two of them.

Just then, the palace in the sea of ​​thunder changed again. A blue lotus, seemingly rooted in chaos, appeared and, like a supreme divine sword that could cleave heaven and earth, slashed directly down at Zhong Xu.

A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky!

"The Chaos Green Lotus?"

"Ancestor!"

Upon seeing the blue lotus, Yan Ruyu and the other demon cultivators exclaimed in surprise, their faces showing worry.

Does the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth truly not want His Majesty the Demon Emperor to enter the Four Extremes Realm? During the Heavenly Tribulation, three enemies, each formed from the traces of a Great Emperor, appeared in succession, blocking the path.

Zheng

As the blue lotus fell toward him, Zhong Xu's eyes narrowed, and a faint Buddhist light appeared within his body.

The Buddha's light enveloped the heavens and earth, carrying a peaceful meaning that directly pointed to the nature of all living beings, causing the two figures rushing towards him to pause for a moment.

But the next moment, the two returned to normal.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Xu's eyes lit up, and two divine lights emerged from them, like two divine dragons or two divine swords, directly slashing towards the green lotus.

The Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes!

Clang!
The clang of metal on metal resounded, causing everything around to tremble.

The next moment, a lightning figure wielding a green lotus appeared and attacked Zhong Xu.

Boom boom boom

The heavens and earth roared once more as the four figures intertwined, causing the entire void to tremble.

Zhong Xu single-handedly fought against the humanoid lightning formed by the traces of three Great Emperors, causing the entire primordial sea to boil.

The Void Mirror, the Sun God Furnace, and the Chaos Green Lotus—three imperial weapons—continuously descended upon him. Even though they were merely Dao traces recorded by heaven and earth, and even though his accumulation was incredibly profound and his strength far surpassed that of his peers, he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

However, despite the exceptionally difficult battle, Zhong Xu showed no sign of frustration. On the contrary, his eyes shone even brighter as the battle continued.

He completely used the figure formed by the three bolts of lightning as a whetstone, thoroughly sorting out and applying the various inheritances he had mastered. Like refined steel that has been tempered a hundred times, he underwent a completely new transformation.

The Taiyi Golden Chapter, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, the Human Emperor's Golden Book, the Daoist Scripture, the Void Scripture, the Azure Emperor Scripture, and so on.
As the battle progressed, these inheritances transformed into countless insights, constantly surfacing in his mind. He quickly grasped their true meaning and perfectly integrated them into his own system, making them increasingly compatible with him.

Meanwhile, during the battle, Zhong Xu became increasingly adept at integrating the One Life Technique and the Secret Realm Technique.

The unity of heaven and man, harmony with the Dao, and the meticulous application of various rules and principles have brought about a tremendous transformation in the combat power of the Secret Realm Law.

For Zhong Xu, this was not like a tribulation, but rather a trial specifically designed for him, a trial that was just right for him.

For cultivators in this universe, the Heavenly Tribulation is truly a great gift.

As the battle continued, Zhong Xu's aura became increasingly ethereal and unpredictable, making it easier for him to deal with the three lightning figures.

At the same time, he became increasingly adept at using various supernatural powers, displaying a sense of effortless mastery and divine understanding.

However, those around them, sensing the vast battle scene within the sea of ​​lightning and feeling the immense energy fluctuations, showed a hint of bewilderment.

Is this really a battle scene that cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm can create?
I'm afraid even cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm couldn't do that!

If this demon emperor survives this tribulation, will there be anyone among the younger generation who can rival him?

At least at this moment, Ji Haoyue, watching the battle scene in the sea of ​​thunder, had completely given up the idea of ​​competing with this demon emperor.

The two are not even in the same league!
However, the demons, including Yan Ruyu, showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Boom boom boom

After fighting for an unknown period of time, Zhong Xu's mind seemed to detach from his body and enter a special dimension, experiencing his battle without joy or sorrow.

His innate spiritual light became increasingly solid and pure, constantly shimmering with a crystalline brilliance, carrying a sense of truth and authenticity.

Various insights kept surfacing in Zhong Xu's mind, giving him a completely new understanding of the various inheritances he had mastered.

Buzz

It felt like an instant, yet also like countless years later, when Zhong Xu's mind suddenly returned, and countless insights merged into one at that moment.

The true meaning of the "Taiyi Golden Chapter" flows through the mind and spirit, as if it has transformed into the lofty Heavenly Dao, carrying the vast meaning of encompassing everything, like the source of the Great Dao.

In an instant, all the inheritance and power within him were contained by the "Taiyi Golden Chapter," which, with the Dao as its foundation, continuously extended and formed a complete system.

Buddha, Tao, Demon, Monster, Human
At this moment, the many roads seemed to be arranged in a special way, clearly distinct yet connected by a unique line, forming a whole.

Boom!
A deep and clear bell rang in Zhong Xu's mind, making his soul shine brighter than ever before.

Within his world of reincarnation, fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell pulsed continuously, emitting clear, resonant chimes that carried a hint of intimacy.

Even the Emperor's Sword, which was like scrap metal, suddenly lit up with a light and seemed to move slightly.

However, the light on the Emperor's Sword dimmed again in the next moment, and it returned to its scrap metal appearance.

Buzz

As his mind shifted, Zhong Xu's eyes shone brighter and brighter. He reached out and produced an ancient and mysterious bronze bell.

Boom!
A melodious bell sound, indescribable in words, rang out. The ancient bronze bell swayed slightly, and ripples of timeless grandeur spread across the heavens and earth, extending outwards.

In an instant, the entire world fell silent, and everything seemed to freeze, becoming a lifelike painting.

Boom!
The bell rang again, and in an instant, the surrounding world became illusory, and everything shattered into endless spiritual light.

Whether it was the figure holding the Sun God Furnace, the figure with the ancient mirror on its head, or the figure holding the Chaos Green Lotus in its palm, they all returned to the essence of lightning, then transformed into endless spiritual light and dissipated into the world.

With a single strike, the three lightning figures formed by the heavenly tribulation shattered and vanished without a trace.

The surrounding crowd stared in disbelief at the scene, at the figure holding the ancient bronze bell, and at the melodious and clear sound of the bell echoing in their ears, feeling an indescribable sense of awe.

However, after unleashing this attack, Zhong Xu let out a muffled groan, the ancient bronze bell in his hand disappeared, a few strands of white hair appeared among his hair, and the power in his body seemed to have been drained in an instant.

boom

As the three figures shattered, a deafening roar erupted from the sea of ​​lightning in the sky. The heavenly might began to recede slowly, and the sea of ​​lightning also began to dissipate.

boom

As the tribulation lightning disappeared, an indescribable aura of vastness rose from Zhong Xu's body, merging with the entire world and causing it to tremble. Endless spiritual energy swept towards him, continuously merging into his body, healing his injuries, and refining his spirit.

The Ji family members and demon cultivators around them all looked at the figure enveloped in the energy of heaven and earth with some emotion, realizing that from this day forward, a true prodigy had emerged among the younger generation of the Eastern Wilderness.
