He will die today!
Zhang Mu roared and once again activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to kill the Jade Emperor within it.
The Quasi-Saints were extremely anxious, but the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was beyond their ability to destroy.
As time went by, the Jade Emperor's aura grew increasingly weak.
Just as the Jade Emperor was about to be completely killed, the Heavenly Dao intervened, breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation with a single strike and saving the Jade Emperor.
Then another attack was launched at Zhang Mu.
[Ding! Heavenly Dao has intervened; rule restrictions lifted! The system will resolve the issue for the host!]
Ye Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, had been waiting for a long time.
The power of the rules negated the attack and then charged toward the core of the world.
Heavenly Dao hurriedly tried to close the 'gate'.
But Ye Yu went inside first.
Instantly, the heavens and earth trembled. All living beings were unaware of what had happened.
Only Zhang Mu had a smile on his lips.
Lose? Tell me, what are you going to lose with!
"Hahaha, it is the will of Heaven! Jade Emperor, you are doomed today!"
Zhang Mu's laughter abruptly stopped as the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation once again trapped the Jade Emperor.
This time, Heaven had no time to attend to anything else, and the Jade Emperor could only stand there, bleeding, looking at Zhang Mu with resentment in his eyes.
Zhang Mu's body swelled up dramatically, and his gaping maw swallowed it whole.
The physical body of a quasi-saint is a treasure trove; digesting it can enhance one's cultivation.
Blood rained down from the sky, seemingly announcing the fall of the Heavenly Emperor.
All beings in the Three Realms were stunned by this scene; they had never imagined it would end like this.
The quasi-saint powerhouses hidden in the shadows also remained silent, each one quickly concealing themselves, fearing retribution later.
At this moment, Zhang Mu glanced at Tathagata beside him, which terrified the latter. Even the Jade Emperor, with his Heavenly Emperor status, was dead; wouldn't it be even easier for him?
"Please help me, everyone!"
The Buddha transmitted a message to the quasi-saints hidden in the shadows.
But in this situation, nobody's a fool; jumping out would be suicide.
"It's better to die than to die, my friend. Let them retreat first and let Tathagata draw the fire."
When the Buddha saw that no one responded, he cursed inwardly.
The next instant, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation completely surrounded him.
"Spare me!"
Buddha immediately begged for mercy.
"When you started plotting against me, did you ever think of letting me go? Now, I've simply become too strong and escaped your game; the roles have been reversed. The player who wields the chess pieces will one day become someone else's pawn!"
Zhang Mu spoke calmly, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation instantly annihilated Tathagata.
Just like before, it was swallowed and refined by Zhang Mu in one gulp.
"Who still wants to fight!"
Zhang Mu pointed his staff around, and as far as his eyes could see, none of the immortals dared to meet his gaze.
All beings in the Three Realms looked up at Zhang Mu in the sky with awe; this was truly a great and upright man.
He dared to resist, dared to fight, and most importantly, he actually did it!
"The Heavenly Emperor is dead. I will fill this vacant position. Do you have any objections?"
The immortals were furious, but dared not show it.
Laozi remained silent, while Bodhi Patriarch's face was gloomy.
Zhang Mu swaggered into the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
"What? Why don't you bow to the Heavenly Emperor?"
The immortals looked at each other in bewilderment, but under Zhang Mu's tyrannical power, they still bowed in humiliation.
"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor."
"Hmm, my 'beloved subjects,' rise. I'm quite easy to talk to, because if someone displeases me, I'll make them 'shut up'..."
Zhang Mu said with a smile.
None of the immortals dared to be the first to step forward.
"Boring. Since there's nothing else to do, let's call it a day."
Zhang Mu waved his hand. He knew they were all dissatisfied, but so what? As long as they were not as strong as him, they could just shut up.
And those quasi-saints lurking in the shadows, I bet they're up to something.
However, Zhang Mu is not afraid. Once he attains the Dao of Hunyuan, you will all die.
He flashed and arrived at the Tushita Palace.
"Laojun, you're not being fair... You actually attacked me from the shadows. Don't think I didn't know."
Zhang Mu stared intently at Laozi.
The latter remained silent.
"Hehe, I'll let it go this time out of consideration for our past friendship, but there will be a next time. I don't mind if you accompany the Jade Emperor on his journey."
Zhang Mu spoke up.
"Alright, now that I've forgiven you, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Zhang Mu extended his hand and said.
"..."
Laozi 'willingly' took out a large pile of pills and handed them to Zhang Mu.
These pills were ones that Zhang Mu had never seen before.
As expected, this guy is quite wealthy.
Zhang Mu first used the system function to copy and amplify it once, then took all of them and amplified them again.
"Good, I'll come again in the future. Remember to refine more pills."
Zhang Mu left these words behind and went into seclusion to cultivate.
He was preparing to attempt to become a Primordial Golden Immortal, also known as a Saint.
The strongest beings in this world are at the Quasi-Saint level. Although it is a Journey to the West world, it is only a beggar's version. The legendary Six Saints do not exist in this world.
Bodhi Patriarch was not a benevolent manifestation of Zhunti, nor was Laozi a benevolent manifestation of Taishang Laojun.
This world is merely a projection of the myriad realms of the Supreme Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao simply imitated the Supreme Primordial World to evolve this world.
Imitation is just imitation. Although the creatures of this world have the figures of the Six Sages in their memories, it is only a subconscious implanted by the Heavenly Dao.
The projection of a sage is not so easy to imitate; in other words, the Heavenly Way of this world is not qualified.
......
As Zhang Mu began his secluded cultivation, this world fell into silence.
Originally, with the death of the Jade Emperor, the Three Realms should have been thrown into chaos.
But now that Zhang Mu has regained his position as Heavenly Emperor, the beings of the Three Realms dare not make any small moves.
The new Heavenly Emperor is far more ruthless than the Jade Emperor; they can't afford to provoke him, nor do they want to.
Zhang Mu also secretly instructed Guanyin to take advantage of the turmoil in Buddhism following the death of Buddha to quickly win over the Buddhist community.
As for Patriarch Bodhi, he went into seclusion and paid no attention to the turbulent Buddhist community.
This made Guanyin's efforts to win over Guanyin very smooth.
"Why would Heaven allow that demon monkey to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?"
The quasi-saints, now silent, pondered deeply.
Furthermore, although Heaven clearly intended to suppress the demon monkey, it was blocked by a force.
Since then, they have been unable to perceive the existence of the Heavenly Dao.
This made them wonder if the Way of Heaven might have been shut down.
"How strange! Unexpected changes keep happening. I'd better stay out of the public eye and wait until things calm down before making any moves."
The quasi-saints decided that they would absolutely not be born again until this great calamity was over.
The heart of the world.
"Intruder, I advise you to retreat immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Heavenly Dao consciousness looked at Ye Yu in front of it and threatened him.
A mouse slipped into the house due to a moment of carelessness, but the mouse was too strong for the owner to handle, so the owner could only try to trick it away.
"You insignificant Heavenly Dao, how dare you speak to your Grandmaster like that? Don't you know how many Heavenly Daos have died at my hands? You still dare to threaten me? Today I'll show you what it means to be the nemesis of the world!"
Ye Yu grinned and lunged towards the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.
"Stop! Stop inhaling!"
The will of Heaven resists desperately.
