Meanwhile, Tongtian Laozu, one of the three most powerful beings in this world, is confronting the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of Tathagata before turning his gaze back to Tongtian Patriarch. He then slowly said, "Tongtian Patriarch, look at Tonghai Patriarch, he is quite enlightened! You, on the other hand, are considered one of the strongest beings in our world, can't you have any enlightenment?"
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Ancestor revealed a disdainful sneer on his face and let out a cold snort: "Enlightenment? Hmph, don't be ridiculous!"
Then, he raised his voice and shouted, "You want me to end up like that idiot Tonghai? No way! As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I'm not going to be stupid enough to go and die!"
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's previously calm gaze instantly turned icy, and he thought to himself: This guy is simply shameless!
It should be understood that at this time, the Tongtian Ancestor had already been infected by the evil god, and he had become the biggest cancer in the world. If he was not eliminated as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, if he could choose to sacrifice himself and give back to the world like the Ancestor Tonghai, then perhaps this world would still have a glimmer of hope and vitality.
However, judging from the current situation, it is clear that the Tongtian Ancestor has no such intention, but only wants to prolong his life.
Suddenly, a ball of energy, shimmering with dazzling light, appeared in the Jade Emperor's hand. This ball of light danced and leaped between his palms like a lively sprite.
It is clear that the Jade Emperor is prepared to launch an attack at any time.
Meanwhile, the Tongtian Ancestor, utterly sneered without fear: "You lot don't even belong to our world, yet you go to such lengths to meddle in our affairs. There must be some ulterior motive or scheme behind this, right? Tell me about it, so I can die knowing why!"
The Jade Emperor's originally majestic face instantly turned cold and stern, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, clearly showing his extreme anger and surprise at what was happening before him.
He never imagined that someone hailed as one of the strongest in the world would be such a despicable person.
What made the Jade Emperor feel even more humiliated and ashamed was that this guy's responsibilities were almost identical to his own.
Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor felt an indescribable sense of shame, as if he himself had been greatly insulted by the other party's behavior.
If this matter were to spread, it would surely become a laughing stock for others. One of the strongest beings in the world would actually kneel down and surrender to an evil god out of fear of death. It is an utter disgrace!
The Jade Emperor let out a cold snort, his voice booming like thunder, causing the entire space to tremble slightly. Immediately afterward, his body shone brightly, and an enormous Dharma image suddenly rose up.
The image of the Buddha was like a towering mountain, radiating boundless power and a sacred aura.
The Jade Emperor stretched out a massive hand that blotted out the sky, and with the force of thunder, he slammed it down on the Tongtian Ancestor opposite him.
Faced with the Jade Emperor's fierce attack, the Tongtian Ancestor was naturally unwilling to back down.
He roared in response, and his body shone brightly, revealing a Dharma image that was in no way inferior to that of the Jade Emperor.
The Dharma forms of the Tongtian Patriarch and the Jade Emperor collided violently, causing the heavens and earth to change color and the wind and clouds to surge. However, just as the two were locked in a stalemate, countless chaotic auras suddenly emerged from the Dharma form of the Tongtian Patriarch, and these auras spread rapidly like a plague.
Many innocent creatures that had not yet been infected were immediately eroded upon contact with these odors, collapsing to the ground in agony and writhing in agony.
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor was even more enraged and cursed, "You audacious monster, how dare you commit such atrocities! You are courting death!"
With that, he waved his left hand lightly, and a dazzling beam of light shot out, accurately intercepting all the scattered aura of the Guixu Beasts.
At the same time, a golden imperial seal slowly appeared in the Jade Emperor's right hand.
With the appearance of the Imperial Seal, a vast and majestic aura of a celestial ruler, overwhelming all under heaven, spread out and crushed towards the Tongtian Ancestor.
At this moment, the Tongtian Ancestor frowned deeply, feeling a heavy, invisible pressure pressing down on his heart.
Looking back, when the world they lived in was still intact, the vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth) had its own rules of operation and powerful forces, exerting a natural suppression on outsiders.
However, this once beautiful world has now suffered severe pollution and erosion, leaving it scarred and devastated.
Just then, the message from the Tonghai Ancestor was like a ray of dawn. Although it only allowed this world on the verge of collapse to barely recover a sliver of life, it still brought a little hope.
But who could have imagined that the actions of the Tongtian Ancestor would provoke the world itself to feel disgust and resistance, as if the whole world was full of hostility towards him and even wanted to drive him out without mercy.
Sensing this deep malice from the world, the Tongtian Ancestor's gaze suddenly turned cold, flashing with a chilling light like a cold star.
"Hmph! Since you're all pressing me so hard, don't blame me for being ruthless and heartless!"
He roared in a low voice, the sound echoing in the chaotic space.
Before he finished speaking, the Tongtian Ancestor suddenly opened his arms, and a powerful suction force emanated from his body.
The evil god auras that were originally roaming freely between heaven and earth converged on him frantically, as if summoned.
As these evil energies continuously poured into his body, the aura of the Tongtian Ancestor grew stronger and stronger, like a volcano about to erupt, fiery and violent.
The light emanating from him gradually became dazzling, showing a tendency to break through the shackles and advance to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The Jade Emperor's gaze flickered slightly; the Tongtian Ancestor was now even more difficult to deal with.
He had considered calling for reinforcements, but considering that Tathagata could deal with Tonghai Patriarch all by himself, he couldn't afford to lose face.
The Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit emerged, forcibly taking over the responsibilities of the Heavenly Lord of this world.
This world is, after all, a small world. Although it has been infected by the evil god—the Guixu Beast, it has not yet reached the point of being completely infected.
Furthermore, since the world itself was also resisting, the Jade Emperor found an opportunity to forcibly replace the other party's responsibilities with his own Dao Fruit.
In this way, it's practically impossible for the Tongtian Ancestor to break through!
