"Young friend Fang, have you devoured Satan?" the Jade Emperor asked, his gaze fixed on Fang.
After his breathing calmed down, Fang Xiu slowly opened his eyes and nodded calmly: "That's right. Satan is preparing to take over Sun Wukong's soul and has also sacrificed the entire hell in preparation for breaking through to the realm of ancient gods."
Upon hearing this, all the immortals and gods around were shocked. Any matter involving ancient gods is of utmost importance. If Satan were to break through, the Supreme Heaven would be destroyed in an instant. The power of the ancient gods is something that no one below them can resist; they are beings from another dimension.
The Jade Emperor smiled with satisfaction: "It seems you have successfully stopped him and brought back the hero of Heaven."
He looked at Sun Wukong with a smile. At this moment, Sun Wukong was very mischievous and impetuous, jumping around in the Lingxiao Palace with a look of novelty, touching everything.
Then, he looked at Fang Xiu and said, "What do you plan to do next? With your current strength, it will be difficult for you to refine Satan, and I can only help you this time. After all, the Well of Heavenly Dao still needs me to repair it."
Fang Xiu clearly had a plan in mind. He calmly said, "Next, I will go and reclaim the realms beyond the Supreme Heaven. With the help of those souls, I will bring the Path of the Righteous God to its end. Only in this way can I refine Satan."
The Jade Emperor nodded: "With your abilities, breaking through to the first rank of True God is not difficult. Once you reach the first rank, I will announce to the world that you will be appointed as an Emperor, and I will use the fortune of the highest heaven to help you."
“Your Majesty, you mustn’t!” An old man with a white beard, dressed in a Taoist robe, hurriedly stepped forward: “Your Majesty, the Supreme Heaven is now in decline and can barely protect itself. How can it possibly have the strength to bestow another emperor’s title?”
"Venus, there's no need for further words. My mind is made up. Besides, now that Hell has been overthrown and Zeus and his three demons are no longer present, the pressure on the High Heaven has been greatly reduced, and we still have some resources to spare," the Jade Emperor said decisively.
Seeing this, Venus finally chose to keep quiet.
"Young friend Fang, go do what you should do. As for Sun Wukong, I will find a way to help him regain his memory as soon as possible."
"Hmm." Fang Xiu gave a soft "hmm" and then left the Supreme Heaven without stopping for a moment.
The Jade Emperor's suppression of Satan cannot last long. He must break through to the first rank of true god as soon as possible, then accept the investiture, and step into the pinnacle of the path of true gods—the realm of the God Emperor.
Then, with the power of the true gods, we will refine Satan and push the path of the gods to its peak.
He had no specific destination, heading straight for places with heavy demonic energy. When he passed a realm occupied by a Heavenly Demon God, he devoured the realm and the Heavenly Demon God together.
With his current strength, if the Demon Realm doesn't send out a First-Rank Heavenly Demon God, they're just handing him over.
After consuming the food, he would randomly find a place to seclude himself and digest it, and then set off again without stopping. This process repeated itself for ten years.
Ten years later, Fang Xiu returned to the Supreme Heaven. When he came back, he was already a First-Rank True God!
When I saw the Jade Emperor again, his temples were already gray and he looked old.
The Jade Emperor was already immortal, but the continuous repair of the Well of Heaven had greatly depleted his lifespan.
In addition, Fang Xiu also saw Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong only showed his head before blushing and running away, clearly having regained his memory and was too ashamed to be seen.
In the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals gathered, with the Jade Emperor sitting on the highest seat. Taibai Jinxing, holding an imperial edict, loudly proclaimed: "Fang Xiu, the successor of Nuwa, saved the gods from fire and water at the Peach Banquet, averted the collapse of the Heavenly Court in the Battle of Kunlun Mountain, and single-handedly brought about the downfall of Hell. He has saved the world three times, and is therefore specially appointed as the Savior Emperor. This is hereby proclaimed to the Three Realms, and all immortals, demons, humans, ghosts, and gods shall hear it. So be it."
After Venus finished reading, the imperial edict in his hand instantly transformed into a golden light and vanished into the sky.
At the same time, countless golden rays and auspicious clouds suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and flowers rained down from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the ground, as if announcing to the world the birth of the savior emperor!
Fang Xiu stood in the Lingxiao Palace, bathed in endless golden light under the gaze of countless immortals. His aura rose rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and he soon broke through to the first-grade True God realm, reaching the pinnacle of the True God path—Emperor!
He became one of the few emperors in the Heavenly Court, a savior emperor!
It was only after he became the savior emperor that he finally had the power to refine Satan.
......
......
Deep within the highest heavens, in the newly built Savior Emperor's Daoist temple, Fang Xiu was in seclusion alone. Ever since he became the Savior Emperor, for some reason, he had a vague sense of unease, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
He was no longer a novice in cultivation and understood this kind of sudden impulse very well. The greater one's supernatural powers, the more acute one's senses of the world become.
This ominous premonition kept him constantly on his toes; he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible to prepare for the impending calamity.
He entered the inner world and saw the imprisoned Satanic origin, a ball of pitch-black light, as deep as a black hole. If it weren't for the surrounding golden cage, it would have already broken free.
The golden cage was the power left behind by the Jade Emperor, but now it was dilapidated and covered with dense dark runes, about to break under the erosion of the runes.
Within the pitch-black sphere of light, a pair of terrifying eyes seemed to open, followed by the voice of Satan.
"It seems that the Supreme Heaven has spared no expense in helping you break through, even at the cost of overdrawing its resources. Unfortunately, the final outcome is already predetermined. Even if I am not here, your defeat will not change."
"You talk too much nonsense," Fang Xiu said indifferently. He had always been too lazy to pay attention to people who were good at riddles.
Immediately, he stretched out his palm and shook hands with Satan from afar.
In an instant, countless crisscrossing chains of hell appeared out of thin air, piercing through the very essence of Satan!
The next moment, brilliant golden flames surged from his body. That was the power of the God Emperor's Heavenly Dao. The Emperor is gold, the supreme and holy!
Golden flames clung to the chains, continuously burning the very essence of Satan.
"ah!!"
The piercing screams echoed through the heavens and earth, interspersed with the angry curses of Satan.
"Fang Xiu, even if you refine me, you cannot change the fate of the immortals and gods failing!"
Fang Xiu remained unmoved and continued to intensify his refining efforts.
Time flies like water, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Fang Xiu finally emerged from seclusion. After refining Satan, he successfully pushed the Path of the Gods to its peak!
Cultivating both immortal and demonic powers, reaching the pinnacle of both the righteous and the mortal realms!
His combat power had reached an unprecedented level, yet his expression showed no joy; instead, his brows were furrowed.
After refining Satan, he finally understood why Satan had said those words and the real reason why Zeus and the other two had disappeared.
