Chapter 137: Chapter 137 【Heavenly Emperor Proves the Dao, One Stroke Opens the Heavens】 (Subscription Requested)

Ao Hong, though ambitious, was undoubtedly a cautious man. After Xuanqing annihilated the Good Corpse, he never took initiative to strike again.

At most, he would have some Demon Gods and Demon Kings under Jieyin’s command occasionally test the Paoxi clan or use coercion and bribery to make the more foolish members of the Human Race perform blood sacrifices.

But several eons ago, when the Heavenly Court led by Jian Mu connected the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and several Saints manifested themselves only allowing the Human Race and the Dragon Clan to pass through the bridge to the myriad worlds, he even ceased these minor actions, not daring to test the attitudes of these Saints!

Recently, however, the news transmitted from the Human Race had terrified him utterly.

"Fu Xi!"

He found it hard to believe, a boundless panic rising in his heart: "That Paoxi clan, it’s actually a reincarnation of Fu Xi! How could he be a reincarnation of Fu Xi?"

At this moment, he felt somewhat fortunate that he had not used the "Luck Stealing Technique" on Fu Xi... otherwise, even if successful, it would still lead to a dead end!

After all, within the Primordial World, who did not know the relationship between Fu Xi and the Nuwa Saint?

He wanted to continue lying dormant, searching for a more suitable opportunity; he did not believe that beside Fu Xi, there were no other targets within the Human Race fit for striking!

"Or, I might also try to reincarnate with a strand of my split soul into the Human Race, thus stealing the Human Race’s good fortune! However, the Six Paths of Reincarnation are controlled by the Xuan Sect, which is indeed a troublesome issue! I’ll need to plan carefully."

Ao Hong thought deeply. He planned to return to Zhangyuan once to discuss with Jieyin and Bing Yi. But just as he left the Heavenly Court and was about to return to Zhangyuan, a force from the Power of Space-Time froze him in the void.

"Candle Dragon!"

He was shocked and had not anticipated that Candle Dragon would suddenly strike against him.

"Zeng!"

But before he could escape, another wave of zither music resonated in the void, accompanied by an endless killing intent, like the sorrowful wailing of the universe returning to ruins at its destruction.

In an instant, this terrifying zither music transformed under the effect of the Innate Taiyi Dao into an annihilating Heavenly Blade that sprawled across the cosmic void in the vault of heaven.

"Fu Xi!"

Although Ao Hong had never faced Fu Xi directly, he knew that Fu Xi possessed the Innate Spiritual Treasure "Fu Xi’s Zither," extremely adept in musical rhythm assassination techniques.

These two beings were at the peak of Quasi-Saints; he had no intention of fighting them and instantly transformed into his dragon form, rushing toward the direction of the Heavenly Court.

"Think you can escape so easily?"

Candle Dragon sneered, time and space around seemed to stagnate, turning into a mire: "With me and Daoist Fu Xi taking action, do you think we would let you escape?"

Before he finished speaking, countless Great Dao Runes evolved from the Power of Time, turning into chains of order, binding Ao Hong in the void.

Boom!

Simultaneously, the annihilating Heavenly Blade evolved from "Fu Xi’s Zither" instantly traversed a million miles of void, sparing no effort in slashing upon Ao Hong’s dragon body.

"Burst!"

Without any hesitation, Ao Hong self-detonated his painstakingly reformed Good Corpse, its terrifying power immediately shattered Candle Dragon’s chains of order formed by the Power of Time, intensely shaking the heaven and earth. The endless Chaos Qi fell, and the void within millions of miles turned to dust.

"Innate Eight Diagrams, suppress!"

At this point, Fu Xi’s voice rang from the void, the Power of Heaven and Earth condensed, forming a massive Taiji Yin Yang Eight Diagram swiftly pressing down on Ao Hong.

He practiced Array Dao, and with Xuanqing’s transformation into "Suiren," passing down the "Innate Eight Diagrams" to the Human Race, naturally, he had much research into this great Dao.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder!"

Immediately following, a tremendous divine thunder rumbled down, directly annihilating Ao Hong’s physical body.

The Innate Taiyi Dao, born from nothingness, its evolved thunder returned all to void, aligning with the cycle of life and death of the Chaotic Universe.

"Where is Ancestor Dragon Pearl?"

Seeing this, Candle Dragon’s expression changed. Although Ao Hong’s physical body was annihilated, the stolen "Ancestor Dragon Pearl" and other Dragon Clan treasures were not on him.

Simultaneously, Hao Tian also monitored through the "Hao Tian Mirror" that Fu Xi had striked Ao Hong, hastily came with the Turquoise Pool and manifested the Divine Skill in this void.

His expression was extremely grim: "Daoist Fu Xi, and Daoist Candle Dragon, although you two possess strong abilities, you shouldn’t arbitrarily kill the True Gods bestowed titles by my Heavenly Court, right?"

"True God?"

Fu Xi sneered dismissively: "Is the ’True God’ you speak of, a thief who steals treasures, incites the Demon Clan to bewitch the Human Race, conducting blood sacrifices among people, causing chaos among all beings, an Evil Dragon?"

"This is slander!"

Hao Tian immediately retorted furiously: "I cannot deny Ao Hong’s grievances with the Dragon Clan, but if you claim that he instigated the Demon Clan to conduct blood sacrifices in the Human Race, do you have proof? If you desire fault, why lack excuses?"

He did not know whether what Fu Xi said was true, but even if it was, he absolutely could not admit it, as this matter related to the face of the Heavenly Court!

Even if Ao Hong was guilty, it should be him, the Heavenly Emperor, to handle, not for the two of them to kill at will, which was undoubtedly trampling the dignity of the Heavenly Court underfoot.

"Proof?"

Fu Xi’s eyes sharply intense, he scoffed: "Those Humans harmed by Ao Hong and the wild gods personally suppressed by this emperor are clear proof. You are also a Quasi-Saint, fully capable of deducing the cause and effect yourself, to see whether those wild gods killed by this emperor obeyed Ao Hong and Jieyin’s bidding!"

He paused, then continued, "Rather, you, the Heavenly Emperor, are blind and indulgent, allowing Ao Hong to run amok, still having the gall to question this emperor here!"

Fu Xi did not leave Hao Tian any face; in his view, Ao Hong’s mistake was due to Hao Tian’s poor supervision, and he, the Heavenly Emperor, should also bear the guilt of oversight.

"You!!!"

Hao Tian was immediately overwhelmed with fury.

Even if you gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on Fu Xi, whose cultivation of Quasi-Saint’s peak far surpasses his own, and Nuwa Saint supports Fu Xi from behind.

Just now, he also made some calculations; with Fu Xi’s words, he followed the causality and naturally knew that Fu Xi was telling the truth.

"Let’s go!"

He could only fiercely glare at the two, then immediately disappeared into the void with the Turquoise Pool.

Regardless of the reality, Ao Hong’s death is a blow to the majesty of the Heavenly Court on the surface.

From today onwards, his and the Heavenly Court’s authority would probably greatly diminish, and those with ambitious intentions will certainly think of pulling him down from the Heavenly Emperor’s throne.

...

Meanwhile, Ao Hong actually had not yet perished; worried about the Saints targeting him, he had entrusted a Primordial Spirit in the Ancestor Dragon Pearl to Bing Yi Yuanjun, leaving himself a way out.

However, with his physical body destroyed and Primordial Spirit severely damaged, his current strength was not even comparable to an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal, his hundreds of Yuan meetings of cultivation were destroyed in an instant.

"Damn it!"

His Primordial Spirit roared incessantly in the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, he had not expected that before he made a move on Fu Xi, Fu Xi had already sought to kill him first!

At the same time, he also developed a deep wariness towards the other Saints; he was sure that Fu Xi’s attack on him must have been foreseen by the Saints’ deductions.

"Bing Yi, take me to the Western Sect for a visit!" Ao Hong’s eyes revealed a ruthless color: "Now, only by relying on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool can I quickly regenerate a physical body!"

The Western Sect’s "Eight Treasures Merit Pool", originally stolen by him from the Dragon Clan as the "Dragon Transformation Pond", had been reforged by the two Western Saints, regaining some of the "Dragon Transformation Pond’s" power to enhance the bloodline power of the Dragon Clan and quickly craft new physical bodies for them.

Originally, he had no intention of collaborating with the Western Sect, but at this point, without the Heavenly Dao Saint’s support, it would only be a matter of time before Fu Xi finds and annihilates him.

And the Dragon Clan would not let him go either!

As for the Heavenly Court, with Hao Tian’s strength, he likely couldn’t protect him... perhaps to appease Fu Xi’s anger, they would willingly sacrifice his life to curry favor with the Human Race.

In no time, Bing Yi Yuanjun brought Ao Hong’s Primordial Spirit to the Western Sect, where Zhunti Daoist with a smiling face, also agreed to let Ao Hong enter the "Eight Treasures Merit Pool".

The "Eight Treasures Merit Pool" was cast from fragments of the "Dragon Transformation Pond", containing the Great Dao of two Saints, and was able to foster "Glazed Pure Water" with the power of incense fire faith, also called "Eight Stabilizing Water" or "Eight Merit Waters", one of the premiere Innate Divine Waters of the Primordial World!

This water’s mystery is endless, possessing the eight qualities of being warm, cleansing, sweet, gentle, moisturizing, peaceful, quenching thirst, and nurturing all aspects, greatly beneficial to a Cultivator’s Primordial Spirit, a truly rare treasure.

Under the nourishment and moisturizing of the "Glazed Pure Water", Ao Hong’s Primordial Spirit was gradually recovering.

However, Zhunti Daoist did not help him reshape his body, instead, he smiled and said, "Daoist Ao Hong has encountered this calamity due to his inseparable connection with the Taixu Heaven Saint; how about cutting off the cause and effect and practicing in our Western Sect?"

Hearing this, Ao Hong showed an unwillingness in his eyes, his Primordial Spirit bowed to Zhunti Daoist: "My heart is deeply obsessed, and I’m afraid it’s difficult to cultivate in this pure land; maybe the Saint could send me to undergo Reincarnation, let me reincarnate among the Human Race, and steal the Human Race’s fortunes for cultivation to a higher realm, to later repay the Saint’s graciousness!"

"How about it?"

Asking him to join the Western Sect and abandon his own ambitions was naturally not what he wished, but now having owed a debt of causality to Zhunti Daoist, he could not refuse without any gesture.

What he thought was to utilize the power of the Western Sect to achieve his own ambitions.

Thus, he decisively spoke, first acknowledging this debt of causality, then requested Zhunti to help him reincarnate, allowing Zhunti to cover up the cause and effect belonging to Ao Hong.

"Agreed!"

Zhunti Daoist did not refuse.

Because he knew that unless cornered, a person like Ao Hong would not easily give up.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what turmoil Ao Hong, this troublemaker, could cause, and whether he could become a chance for the Western Sect to intervene in the affairs of the Human Race.

Just as the Seven Treasures Marvel Tree flashed its light, a Bodhi Seed fused with Ao Hong’s Primordial Spirit, carrying it toward the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Boom!

The reincarnation of a Quasi-Saint immediately caused the Reincarnation to tremble, but it was quickly suppressed by the gentle light emitted by the Bodhi Seed.

It also went unnoticed by many.

Houtu and Emperor Shangqing, sensing the saintly aura above, each turned a blind eye, not scrutinizing closely who was reincarnating.

On the other hand, Fu Xi achieved perfection in Merit, receiving boundless Merit from the Heavenly Dao, helping him to reach the Semi-Saint realm; enhanced by the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Fruit of the Human Race, he, though not a Heavenly Dao Saint, also possessed some characteristics of a Saint, and theoretically could be compared to Green Dragon Meng Zhang and the other Four Polars Saints.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao also cautioned him, advising him not to continue intervening in the affairs of the Human Race.

After pondering for a moment, Fu Xi also chose to accept, for just as Xuanqing and Nuwa had said, one generation has its missions to accomplish... and he could not, based on his power alone, lead the Human Race to prosperity!

While at this time, there were no signs of the Earth Emperor being born, after deep consideration, he passed the position of the communal sovereign of the Human Race to his son—Zun Yi!

He directly spurred the Innate Yi Dao, and with the Yi Dao evolving into the Four Symbols and Eight Diagrams, he split heaven and opened up the Fire Cloud Cave, settling some of his clansmen there.

Before leaving, however, he specifically instructed Zun Yi: "Your prestige is insufficient, temporarily acting as the Human Race’s sovereign only by borrowing my fame. Once you achieve the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, you should step down from the Human Race’s sovereign position, choose another capable person, and I will also descend divine light to take you ascending to the Fire Cloud Cave!"

"Yes!"

Zun Yi immediately nodded.

However, everyone has their own aspirations, and upon reaching the Taiyi Realm, when it was time to choose a new Human Race sovereign, he instead directly selected his own son.

Thus, the position of the Human Race sovereign continually passed on among Fu Xi’s descendants, producing more than thirty Human Race sovereigns in just two Yuan meetings.

These Human Race sovereigns, although without significant contributions, also did not make any major faults.

Now, the one serving as the Human Race sovereign was Fu Xi’s thirty-third generation descendant—He Gui!
