Ch 224: The Jade Emperor: You are the second generation Heavenly Emperor after me!

【In your 570 millionth year, you have cultivated to the tenth level of Heavenly Immortal for the tenth time! There is no further progress to be made. 】

Chu Mo took a deep breath, his injuries completely healed at this moment, and he calmly stared at Day in the distance.

Day stared at Chu Mo, no longer continuing to attack, the two were in a standoff.

“…This guy! Has he become stronger again? How strong is he now?!” Tathagata Buddha’s eyelids twitched slightly. From the fact that Day didn’t attack immediately, he had already guessed that Chu Mo’s strength might now be truly enough to match the White Emperor possessed by Day.

Of course, this was just a guess… When Chu Mo was much weaker than him before, he could still detect some clues… But now, he could only feel that it was unfathomable!

“…How could this be?!” Avalokitesvara’s expression was solemn, but her heart was beating uncontrollably. She thought of Tang Sanzang, whom she had seen every so often before, and compared him slightly with the existence in front of her, feeling a kind of comicality that was difficult to describe in words.

How… how could such a freak appear?!

In fact, this kind of soaring to the peak of Heavenly Immortal in a short period of time… although it surprised them, it was not entirely unheard of in ancient times. In the beginning of the creation of the world, those divine humans who descended with the mandate of heaven, those who were born as Grand Luo, were not just one or two.

Although it is very absurd for such an existence to appear in the current era… but after all, because there is such a precedent, it is still acceptable. But the problem lies in… the same level of combat power! The same level of combat power is so powerful… this is incomprehensible.

Cultivation speed, combat power, foundation… this is an impossible triangle! But in Chu Mo’s body, it was completely violated.

“You are very good!” Day took a deep look at Chu Mo, closed his eyes, and the aura on his body rapidly declined at this moment. When he opened his eyes again, only confusion remained.

“He actually really came back… Strange, that guy didn’t seize my body… Why are you still here?!”

The White Emperor looked at Chu Mo dumbfounded, even suspecting that he had seen it wrong. He had bet his life and summoned that one… Why didn’t that one satisfy his desires and solve the other party?

From beginning to end, the White Emperor never thought that Day might not be able to defeat Chu Mo? Because he understood Day’s terror too well. If there is an upper limit in this world… then Day is the strongest that can be displayed within this upper limit!

Even if the bodies of the Three Pure Ones, the sages who went far away into the Primordial, returned, it would be almost impossible to defeat Day within this range!

“…He escaped quite quickly.” Chu Mo smiled noncommittally, took a step forward, and instantly crossed an endless distance.

The White Emperor’s pupils contracted, and his whole body shone with divine light, but in the next moment, he was suddenly pierced through. That golden elemental divine light, which was enough to shatter the void and all the ways of the world, was as fragile as glass at this moment…

“?! How is this possible?” The White Emperor’s brain was blank. He was nailed in the void, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain. He roared, “You, who are you? Who is laying out a plan on your body?”

“Black Sky? Azure Sky? So that’s how it is… So you are actually… But that’s not right either. Even if they are both Sky, Day couldn’t possibly give in…”

Chu Mo waved his sleeve, and the White Emperor, who couldn’t understand everything that was happening in front of him, suddenly exploded into countless fragments of laws. Finally, Chu Mo used the God-Seizing Method. With one inhale and one exhale, his body gradually took on a faint golden charm.

“There are still 31 million years of lifespan left. Oh, the death of the White Emperor added an extra 20 million years! Not bad.” Chu Mo glanced at it and continued to allocate points.

I have to say, one of the Five Emperors… his lifespan is too much higher than other normal Heavenly Immortals! Although Chu Mo hasn’t really killed a Heavenly Immortal yet. Well, no, Huang Feng-Guai and the others might be Heavenly Immortals? It’s just that they were suppressed to the Earth Immortal realm after descending to the mortal world?!

Thoughts in Chu Mo’s mind were chaotic.

【In your 12,700th year, you successfully digested all the laws of the White Emperor, and you have mastered the Great Power: White Emperor. 】

Chu Mo clenched his fists, feeling the boiling energy in his body. After a brief silence, he moved his mind, and on his body, azure, white, and black three divine lights were constantly rotating, setting him off as even more powerful than the Jade Emperor, and even more sacred than the Tathagata Buddha. It was as if he was the supreme existence in this Three Realms!

“…Three kinds of Emperor Dao laws.” The Red Emperor spoke with difficulty, his expression dazed, nervous, and feeling suffocated at this moment.

The Yellow Emperor didn’t speak. In the next instant, his body suddenly collapsed.

“???” The Red Emperor belatedly realized, his face extremely ugly, and said with a bit of gaffe, “You bastard… you actually…”

It was very obvious that the Yellow Emperor’s main body had already escaped. What was left in place was just an illusion.

Before he could even finish speaking, Chu Mo appeared in front of him. The Red Emperor shivered, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he squeezed out a smile with difficulty, “This, Sky, I wonder if you still lack a disciple under your command…”

Three-colored divine light pierced through the Red Emperor’s body, and he was devoured again. It also took more than 10,000 years… The Great Power Red Emperor was obtained.

“…He escaped quite quickly.” A brilliant divine light flashed in Chu Mo’s eyes. He swept around, but within tens of millions of miles, there was no trace of the Yellow Emperor.

“It doesn’t matter! He can escape for a while, but he can’t escape forever.” Chu Mo cast his gaze again to the Tathagata Buddha and the many Buddhas opposite him.

The bodies of the many Buddhist existences suddenly tensed. Especially Avalokitesvara, who had old grudges with Chu Mo before, her eyes flickered uncertainly… A certain Bodhisattva who had been pregnant was stroking her belly, her face twisted…

“Amitabha!” The Tathagata Buddha said a Buddhist prayer, staring at Chu Mo expressionlessly, “Then, how does Benefactor plan to treat us?”

Chu Mo stared at the Tathagata Buddha with a slightly headache. If this one had been resisting and fighting against him all along, then he would have killed him without hesitation now. But the problem was that even if he hadn’t always stood on his side before, he could be regarded as leaning towards him.

“…Temporarily roll back to the Buddhist Realm! Reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors.” Chu Mo made a decision, his tone without fluctuation, “It’s best not to let me discover the problems on your bodies!”

His meaning was very clear. If there were problems… he would kill the Tathagata Buddha without hesitation. He gave the Buddha an opportunity… but that was all! The favor was used up.

“Thank you!” The Buddha breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and with a flash of Buddhist light, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the scene disappeared.

“Then, what about you?” Chu Mo slowly came to the Jade Emperor, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly attacked. White divine light intertwined on the Jade Emperor’s body. The Jade Emperor did not resist, allowing the white light to invade, trusting Chu Mo to the extreme.

“…You.” A hint of surprise appeared in Chu Mo’s eyes.

“If you want to kill me, can I resist?” The Jade Emperor saw Chu Mo’s confusion, smiled dumbly, and said briskly and frankly.

Chu Mo was silent, sighing, “Compared to that Buddha and those few Emperors… you are really!”

Although the truth was so, making the most correct decision after understanding the situation was a very rare thing.

“It’s normal…” The Jade Emperor shook his head, and said frankly, “The current Tathagata is just the faith in the Buddha between heaven and earth, gathered together to form the Tathagata… and not the real Buddha who reached the top during the Warring States Period!”

“…What?!” Chu Mo’s expression changed slightly, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

◈◈◈

“Didn’t you already know that?” The Jade Emperor was a little strange, “The world has degraded! There are only two paths… one is to go far away into the Primordial, and the other is to constantly self-sever in this world? Didn’t you know?”

After a slight pause, the Jade Emperor continued, “Also, to say another sentence… actually, that Tathagata doesn’t quite know that he is just a faith body! I also don’t know what that real Buddha is doing… Also, the Amitabha Buddha he is chanting is actually the Buddha of the past, that is, the real Tathagata!”

“…I know, okay, I don’t know what Amitabha Buddha is the real Tathagata… but.” Chu Mo’s brows furrowed more and more tightly. The meaning was that the real Tathagata was actually taking the path of going far away into the Primordial Sea? The one left in place now was an incarnation! Or something else? Similar to… Lishan Laomu and Nüwa?

“Did you leave?” Chu Mo stared at the Jade Emperor with some curiosity. Was the Heavenly Emperor in front of him the main body or an incarnation?

“I am the Emperor!” The Jade Emperor said peacefully, “Even if I die, I will die as an Emperor! Buried in this land of mine.”

It was as if he had confirmed that he would inevitably die, but… when would he die?

The main body? A touch of complexity appeared in Chu Mo’s emotions.

“…Do you know the news of Sky?” Chu Mo changed the subject. He sighed lightly in his heart. He didn’t know whether the Jade Emperor’s decision was worth it or not… Anyway, judging from the situation of the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor would probably die in the end.

“What do you think I’m called?” The Jade Emperor stared at Chu Mo with some helplessness.

“Jade… Wait, you are also Sky?!” Chu Mo was shocked for the first time, looking up and down at the Jade Emperor. At the same time, Chu Mo could feel that those white golden elemental laws in the Jade Emperor’s body did not show any signs of annihilation under the illumination of his white light.

Even though they were both golden elemental laws, the charm left by Day in the Jade Emperor’s body was far higher than the White Emperor’s law.

Feeling the white light dissipate, the Jade Emperor’s expression did not change, as if he knew what the result would be from the beginning. He said in a low voice, “It’s just that I have the position of Sky! As the Emperor of Sky, I am the life closest to Sky in the world… Those existences who bear the name of Sky are actually just lives close to the Heavenly Dao!”

“…” After a brief silence, Chu Mo stared seriously at the Jade Emperor in front of him, sensing and spying on the white golden Sky’s laws in his body.

【In your 3.72 millionth year, you have vaguely analyzed a part of the mysteries of the Sky’s law with the help of the White Emperor’s supernatural power, which was already outrageously high in level in your body. The power of your White Emperor’s Great Power has increased by an extra 10%! 】

“Interesting.” Chu Mo smiled and suddenly flicked his finger. Compared to the previous brilliant white light, the energy displayed by Chu Mo this time was not worth mentioning. However, the Jade Emperor’s pupils slowly dilated.

“…How did you do it?!”

The wounds on the Jade Emperor’s body, which were created by Day, healed rapidly at this moment. He couldn’t understand why Day’s laws were really resolved by Chu Mo… It was one thing for Chu Mo’s strength to be stronger than Day, but resolving the laws was another matter.

Seeing Chu Mo smile without saying a word, the Jade Emperor realized something. Finally, he glanced again at Pig, whose body was tense, Sha Wujing, whose face was apprehensive, and Sun Wukong, who was full of casualness and unruliness. He lowered his head and said, “What do you plan to do in the future?”

“…Do you have any advice?” Chu Mo raised his eyebrows.

“Do you want to be the Heavenly Emperor?” The Jade Emperor stared at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo looked at the Jade Emperor with a strange expression.

“Why? Because you are about to die?!”

“…That’s only part of the reason!” The Jade Emperor shook his head and said frankly, “I know that it’s difficult to ask you to go back and continue the Journey to the West now… Although I still haven’t understood what your identity will be in the future! But I feel that you shouldn’t have too deep feelings for the current world and era… Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so reckless!”

Chu Mo silently complained in his heart. This… the Jade Emperor was only half right at best! After all, he was not a body seizure, but a reincarnation, so he also had Tang Sanzang’s emotions… He naturally also had a heart to protect the common people of this world. It’s just that he didn’t have enough sense of security before, so he used the method of overturning the table to directly make himself the strongest…

“Perhaps it’s because you went up against the river of time… and the era you are in! The world has already experienced a great catastrophe… Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor is no longer me!” The Jade Emperor’s eyes were deep, “So the best way to save the world is to make you feel more responsible for this world!”

“So…”

The Jade Emperor didn’t continue to speak, but the meaning was obvious. When Chu Mo truly reached the top in this world… then this world would be equivalent to his fiefdom. Under this circumstance, he would naturally have enough motivation to protect his own world…

“…Then let’s make a deal!” Chu Mo said softly, “You give me the divine position, and I will protect this era in your place! This world… complete the Journey to the West.”

“…If you are willing!” The Jade Emperor thought for a moment, pursed his lips, “But now there is a very critical problem, that is… you are now the Netherworld Emperor! And the Netherworld Emperor actually has no way to…”

The aura on Chu Mo’s body suddenly changed. He seemed to be, no, he became an ordinary person, and at this moment, he stared at the Jade Emperor calmly.

The Jade Emperor: “???”

“How did you do it?!”

The Jade Emperor was shocked once again. Too many unsolved mysteries appeared on the person in front of him. Even though he was constantly preparing himself mentally… he was still a little unable to hold on at this moment!

“Because I am the Netherworld Emperor in the future, but I am not now!” Chu Mo said softly. The truth was very simple. Chu Mo’s position as the Netherworld Emperor was essentially attached to the Heroic Spirit… That is to say, his main body actually had no divine position!

Now that he suppressed the Heroic Spirit, he naturally became a state without a divine position on his body.

“…So that’s how it is!” The Jade Emperor’s eyes flickered, as if he had realized something.

“…So what riddles are you guys talking about?!” Sun Wukong finally couldn’t hold it in and asked with a bit of irritability.

Chu Mo shrugged with a somewhat strange expression. He himself didn’t know what the Jade Emperor had realized. Because he was very clear… the Jade Emperor definitely didn’t understand the matter of Heroic Spirits…
