Chapter 358: Success in Dispelling the Robbery
The triple calamity is the result of three great calamities in the three realms erupting together. It is by no means a simple superposition of power. The power of heaven it arouses is enough to rival the imperial calamities of many enlightened beings!
Logically speaking, no matter how strong Chai Xin's body was or how high his cultivation was, he would never be able to survive such a horrific calamity as long as he had never set foot in the realm of emperor.
This is a natural law that cannot be described simply by the two words "strong" or "weak".
As long as you have not entered the realm of being blessed by all the Daos and suppressing the Heavenly Dao with your Dao, there will be no possibility of successfully surviving the tribulation.
Therefore, although those self-destructive supreme beings in the Life Forbidden Zone were extremely shocked that Chai Xin could cause such a disaster, they did not show too much worry.
In short, even they today have no confidence of surviving such a calamity, let alone a mere saint?
However, Chai Xin has a secret treasure that is unknown to the public, which is the Jade of Creation.
Long before leaving the Heaven-covering Realm, the Divine Jade of Creation had already recovered some of its abilities, and could draw the essence of the Tao from the heavenly calamity to further repair its own damage.
Later, after experiencing a series of growth in the world of immortality, this ability is now a thousand times stronger than before.
If not for this, Chai Xin would never be so reckless as to easily decide to trigger the triple calamity at once in order to demonstrate his own strength and intimidate the villains from all sides.
Therefore, although this triple calamity was powerful, far exceeding any calamity he had encountered before, it still could not cause any substantial harm to him.
The reason why he took the improved version of Linglong Boshen Pill was just to take precautionary measures to avoid any mishap in the gutter as he saw Liu Xuanfeng's fighting power suddenly increase.
After all, he is a quasi-emperor, and his combat power has suddenly increased tenfold. Even calamity cannot befall him for the time being. No one can determine how far he can go.
After taking the magic pill, Chai Xin was still worried that it was not safe enough, so he simply rushed directly into the depths of the calamity cloud, leaving Liu Xuanfeng stunned and sighing in despair.
"Impossible... No one can survive such a disaster! Great! Hahaha! Good death!"
Liu Xuanfeng was shocked for a long time and his spirit was tortured. Even though his Taoism heart was as solid as a rock, he couldn't help but fall into a state of madness at this moment.
"As long as you die, my Liu family will be able to continue to be passed down for thousands of generations. Even if I die, I can rest in peace!"
He only saw Chai Xin rushing into the long river of chaos. Even with his eyesight, he could not penetrate the thick atmosphere of chaos and see the scene inside clearly.
In his opinion, Chai Xin's actions were no different from seeking death. In such a turbulent river of chaos, even a quasi-emperor could not last long, let alone a saint!
I think it won't take long before the other party is killed by the chaotic aura.
However, because he had previously interfered with Chai Xin's tribulation, he had also been targeted by the heavenly tribulation and it was impossible for him to escape.
Seeing the dark and surging water of the chaotic river rushing towards him, he knew very well that this was a situation where he was doomed to die and there would be no chance of turning around.
Even though his combat power had increased nearly tenfold after taking the elixir, he still had no confidence in surviving.
However, thinking that he could die together with Chai Xin, he could feel comforted even if the other party's death was not caused by his own actions.
The current situation is already the final outcome for Liu Xuanfeng.
However, his joy did not last long, as he suddenly heard a loud laugh coming from the sky.
"Hahaha, bathing in the water of chaos feels great! It really feels great!"
Liu Xuanfeng looked in the direction of the sound in disbelief, only to see a tall figure standing in the center of the chaotic river, laughing loudly towards the sky.
The divine flame on its body was like purple clouds, and had covered half of the sky without anyone noticing. Even the most terrifying aura of chaos could not erode it in the slightest!
"No...impossible!"
Liu Xuanfeng let out a horrified roar. This was the umpteenth time he had shouted this sentence in a short period of time.
No matter what, he could not believe the reality before him. The enemy he thought was doomed to die, a kid at the saint level, was actually swimming freely in the vast river of chaos. Not only did he save his life, but he also looked contented!
This not only completely destroyed the perspective on time that he had formed since he started practicing Taoism, but also completely shattered the last bit of perseverance in his heart, shaking his firm faith in Taoism!
At the same time, the surging river of chaos had already rushed from the sky to the front, like a pitch-black dragon, completely swallowing Liu Xuanfeng.
"No! I won't die! If you can survive, how can I, a quasi-emperor and an invincible existence under the starry sky, be inferior to you!"
Liu Xuanfeng went completely insane. Divine power surged all over his body. He desperately tried his best to activate the Hunyuan Black Gold Pagoda without paying any attention to any rules. He fought fiercely in the long river of chaos like a golden-winged roc.
As expected of a quasi-emperor, the elixir he took was truly amazing. Coupled with the support of the supreme imperial weapon, he was able to stabilize the situation in the long river of chaos.
But this is obviously only temporary. If one uses the extreme imperial soldiers at full power, the consumption will be staggering.
Even a quasi-emperor who had reached great perfection could not hold on for too long, let alone a guy like him who had just achieved the status of quasi-emperor?
Although he appears to be in great shape now, he won't be able to hold out for long if he continues like this.
What's more, although the elixir he took was powerful and could increase his combat power tenfold in a short period of time, once the effect of the medicine wore off, the sequelae would definitely not be small.
Faced with internal and external troubles, he has basically been sentenced to death.
Above the sky, Chai Xin's situation was completely opposite to Liu Xuanfeng's.
His whole body was immersed in the long river of chaos. At first, he felt an indescribable pain that went straight into his soul, but with the protection of the Jade of Creation, he did not suffer any substantial harm.
After a period of time, he gradually got used to the pain, and he found that his body, which had already been extremely strong, had actually improved noticeably!
This good thing of killing two birds with one stone made him extremely happy. The heavenly tribulation could not only help repair the Jade of Creation, but it could also further strengthen his body.
Chai Xin caught a glimpse of Liu Xuanfeng, who was at the end of his strength and starting to go crazy. There was no mercy in his eyes, just a hint of pity.
"It's a pity that I haven't achieved enlightenment yet, so I can't use the immortality method at will. Otherwise, if I could convert a quasi-emperor like this, it would be a great help!"
However, this thought only flashed through my mind.
Although quasi-emperors were rare, they did exist. Moreover, he gradually realized that those servants were just servants after all and could not keep up with his pace of progress.
Even if a group of quasi-emperors were converted today, there was no telling how long it would take before they could only be used as followers and to decorate the facade, and would not be of much practical use at all.
After all, judging from the intensity of his current tribulation, there is a high probability that after he successfully overcomes the tribulation, his strength will far exceed that of an ordinary quasi-emperor, and he may even be able to surpass the Supreme in the Forbidden Zone!
No matter how many so-called quasi-emperors there are, they are no match for him.
If he really reaches that level, I'm afraid only the old guys in the restricted area can barely catch his eye.
In fact, he felt that as long as he could survive this catastrophe, he would have the strength to compete with those who had achieved enlightenment in history! The reason why a true enlightened person was invincible was not only because of his own amazing combat power, but more importantly, because of the blessing of the laws of heaven and earth, he could crush his opponent with his own way, and even if the combat power was the same, he could easily defeat them.
Even though Chai Xin had never suppressed all the Daos with his own Dao, he was blessed with the secret treasure, the Jade of Creation, and its power was equally extraordinary, enough to crush any incomplete Daoist.
In other words, if those forbidden zone supreme beings want to make a big move, it is doomed to be nothing but a dream.
As the Jade of Creation absorbed energy, the Chaos River continued to shrink in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually it even completely disappeared into thin air.
However, the disaster was far from over.
As the clouds rolled, mysterious rays of light illuminated the heavens. Then, tall and strong figures descended from the sky. Each of them had a natural Taoist charm and wielded powerful weapons. They were all human-shaped lightning!
There were nine human-shaped lightning bolts, both male and female, with different appearances and temperaments. However, there was one thing that was exactly the same, that was their aura was vigorous and extremely powerful.
"This... the legendary human-shaped lightning, the Young Emperor!"
Liu Xuanfeng had disheveled hair and looked in a miserable state. If it weren't for the Divine Jade of Creation that absorbed all the chaotic aura, he would have probably died.
At this moment, seeing the nine figures descending from the clouds, I felt my soul numb and for a moment I was at a loss.
He could feel that each of the nine young emperors was much more powerful than himself. Although they had not yet achieved enlightenment, they were definitely super beings who had reached the state of quasi-emperor great perfection!
Even with the supreme imperial weapon in his hand, he had no confidence that he could defeat any of the nine people in front of him.
What's more, after the previous fight in the River of Chaos, the efficacy of the elixir has reached its limit. If there is a backlash at that time, Liu Xuanfeng will be doomed without anyone taking action.
"Shenyu, don't swallow them yet, let me try my skills."
Chai Xin sent out a divine thought, and then rushed forward calmly and fearlessly.
With the Xuanhuang Seal on his head, he transformed into an unparalleled god of war and fought with the nine young emperors with the purest physical strength.
These young emperors are all beings evolved from the Way of Heaven, possessing all the strength and means of their corresponding period. Even the weapons in their hands are the prototypes of those imperial weapons.
Even though Chai Xin had experience fighting against these incarnations of the great emperors several times, this time it was still an extremely arduous battle.
Not only are these young emperors far more powerful than those encountered before, the more important reason is that Chai Xin's cultivation level does not match them.
The young emperors he met in the past when he was undergoing tribulation were at least at the same level as Chai Xin.
But this time, the cultivation levels of these nine incarnations are much higher than Chai Xin's!
If it weren't for his abnormal body, the fact that the Xuanhuang Seal was no longer what it used to be, and the fact that he had taken the magic pill transformed by the Divine Jade of Creation, Chai Xin would have had no chance of holding on.
Even so, under the joint attack of the nine incarnations, Chai Xin still failed to achieve a real victory. After repelling three of them, he felt that he had reached his limit and did not continue to hold on.
He was already satisfied enough to be able to fight to this extent with nine young emperors whose realms were far superior to his. Moreover, his combat experience had been honed enough and he did not need to force victory.
After all, every extremely powerful person in history is the most amazing person in the world.
If they were placed in a world like the Realm of Eternal Life where Taoism flourishes, with their potential, they would at least be able to reach the realm of having the same longevity as heaven and earth, and touch the realm of the Supreme Lord of Heaven.
For at least tens of millions of years, the Shrouding Heaven Realm has entered the Age of Dharma Ending. No matter how talented or brilliant a person is, it is difficult for him to live as long as the heaven and earth, and he will eventually be wiped out in the long river of time.
"Do it!"
Following Chai Xin's order, the Divine Jade of Creation once again began to devour.
The incarnations of the nine young emperors immediately began to weaken rapidly, and soon lost their initial vigor and vitality, and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
Not far away, Liu Xuanfeng was stunned and actually watched the whole process and lived safely to this day.
"Cross...crossed..."
He stared at Chai Xin with dull eyes for a long time before he slowly spoke. He even forgot his fear, his panic, and where he was!
In the scenes just now, Chai Xin fought against nine young emperors alone, and he was able to handle it with ease, and even had the upper hand at one point...
This completely subverted his cognition!
It was not until this moment that Liu Xuanfeng finally realized what kind of enemy he had provoked.
This person can no longer be called a "prodigy", but should be called the son of destiny, favored by heaven!
With the strength of one person, and at a realm inferior to the others, he was able to overwhelm nine young emperors. How else can he be described except with these eight words: "the child of destiny, favored by heaven"?
Liu Xuanfeng finally understood that from the moment he formed hatred with Chai Xin, his fate and that of the Liu family was sealed.
At this moment, the effect of the medicine in his body had worn off, his combat power dropped rapidly, and even side effects began to appear. He only felt waves of intense weakness, accompanied by indescribable pain, constantly emerging from the depths of his soul.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. All the madness, numbness, anger and fear disappeared like smoke at this moment. All that was left in his heart was helplessness and emptiness.
"Jiang Xin... I will help you keep this tower. Can you give my Liu family... a way to survive?"
Liu Xuanfeng sighed deeply. He knew that his death was approaching, but he still wanted to preserve the family inheritance. This was his lifelong obsession.
Chai Xin closed his eyes slightly. The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed. Thousands of shining clouds pierced the sky, shedding brilliant divine light, which turned into golden lotuses and sank into his head.
As these golden lotuses entered his body, Chai Xin immediately felt his own cultivation and strength soaring rapidly, and soon reached an unprecedented level.
He had a feeling that as long as he lightly lifted his foot and took a step forward, he would be able to stand in the supreme realm and achieve a great achievement that would suppress the world and be passed down through the ages.
However, he still forced himself to suppress the great desire in his heart and forcibly suppressed the thought of taking that step immediately.
"I will take that step, but not now... Proving the truth is no longer a difficult task for me, but what I seek now is no longer an ordinary emperor!"
Chai Xin made a great wish in his heart that he would use his own enlightenment to reverse the fate of this world heading towards the end of the Dharma!
