A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Page 510

To comprehend these opposing and contradictory principles of Heaven was something they had always dreamed of, but they themselves had failed to achieve it, yet they witnessed it in a junior who was not even a thousand years old. All that had happened today left them speechless.

"So, what do you say?" Yunhua looked at the black-robed god-king of the Wujian Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, your complete comprehension of the Four Heavenly Daos in a single day is unprecedented and unparalleled in the Three Realms. I admire you greatly," the black-robed God-King exclaimed.

But he quickly changed the subject, continuing, "However, your current achievements have already surpassed Nuwa's before her breakthrough. Given time, you may very well reach that level. In that case, why join Nuwa's camp?"

"With your strength, fellow Daoist, you could easily stand on equal footing with Nuwa in the future; but if you join Nuwa's camp now, wouldn't you be inexplicably inferior to Nuwa in the future?"

The black-robed god-king was still inciting Yunhua, wanting to completely sever Yunhua's desire to fully join Nuwa's camp.

"Hmph, you don't need to try to bewitch us. With Fellow Daoist Jie Huo's strength, once you join our Nuwa camp, you will definitely be at the very core. How could your Wujian Sect compare to that?"

Chi Ming Dao Zu was also getting anxious, and he had to admit that the black-robed god king's words were very tempting.

Even Chiming Daozu asked himself, if he had such strength and talent, would he really join Nuwa's camp? Would he really allow Nuwa's name to supersede his own?

Not only the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, but even Bodhi, who usually didn't concern himself with worldly affairs, had pondered this question.

As witnesses to that ancient war, how could they not wish to cultivate themselves to the level of a world god like Nuwa?

And wouldn't they also hope that their names would be sung throughout the Three Realms in the future? And wouldn't they also hope that they could sit on equal footing with Nuwa?

If even ancient beings like them, who have lived for hundreds of millions of years, have such thoughts, then what choice will this cultivator who is not even a thousand years old make?

Yunhua looked at the black-robed god-king, then at the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor and Bodhi, and said, "Have you forgotten that our previous topic hasn't ended? Why do you believe that fate cannot be defied?"

“At first you said that my cultivation period was short and my understanding of the Heavenly Dao was not as good as yours, so I could not understand the power of fate; but now, my understanding of the Heavenly Dao is the best in the Three Realms.”

After a pause, Yunhua continued, "If I said 'fate is all bullshit,' would you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three men changed.

The Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, who was most familiar with Yunhua, blurted out: "Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, you are unwilling to get involved in the struggle between our Nuwa camp and the Wujian Sect? You want to stay out of it and never care about these things again?"

"Do you know that all the true gods and Dao Ancestors who have remained neutral between our Nuwa camp and the Wujian Sect camp over the past few hundred years have now chosen a side?" Bodhi Dao Ancestor reminded him.

Chapter 1042 On Fate

"So...you're all idiots!!"

Yun Hua's gaze swept over everyone, and then with a thought, she immediately activated the Yin Heavenly Dao, Yang Heavenly Dao, Life Heavenly Dao, Destruction Heavenly Dao, and Fire Heavenly Dao of the entire Three Realms.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the Yin and Yang of the entire Three Realms shifted, and life and death merged. All the cultivators in all the great worlds who had become immortals or gods opened their eyes and looked towards the unknown place in the sky.

In that instant, they felt an unimaginable power surging throughout the entire Three Realms.

"This power... it was created by the Dao Ancestor of Calamity Fire! What is he planning to do?"

"What is the Dao Ancestor of Calamity Fire really thinking? Does he truly not accept fate?"

Many Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms were paying attention to Yunhua's situation. His insights into the Four Heavenly Daos in one day had completely shocked countless True Gods and Dao Ancestors throughout the Three Realms.

Everyone was paying close attention to his every move.

"What terrifying power! It surpasses even the Lord of All Things of yesteryear! Ancestor of Calamity Fire, what secret technique have you cultivated? Or is it possible that the Ancestor Immortal realm truly rivals that of the Ancestor God?"

Even many truly terrifying Dao Ancestors were shocked. The strength Yunhua was displaying was almost enough to suppress the Three Realms all by himself.

They vaguely sensed a supreme aura emanating from Yunhua, a feeling reminiscent of the goddess Nuwa after her breakthrough.

"An unprecedentedly superior Golden Core is truly terrifying. Even the aura of a God Emperor is no more than this. I'm afraid that although he is only an Ancestral Immortal, he has already possessed the combat power of a Chaos Immortal."

With such a solid foundation, it's no wonder he was able to comprehend four Heavenly Daos in an instant..." The old man from the Source, who had been hiding in the shadows of the Three Realms causing trouble, had an extremely gloomy expression.

Something that has been planned for millennia now seems to be facing a change?

"Let's wait and see what else he has to say?" The old man suppressed his thoughts of escaping the Three Realms and sat quietly in his own dojo, wanting to see what Yunhua would do next.

Just then, Yunhua's voice entered the primordial spirits of all immortals and gods in the Three Realms—

"The universe is in chaos, and the three realms are in disarray. Since ancient times, the boundless chaotic world has long been integrated into the three realms. All grudges and grievances have vanished with the wind. Now, destiny has manifested, and two tigers fight, with the victor becoming king and the loser becoming villain. But do you really believe so strongly in the concept of destiny?"

Countless cultivators felt a slight tremor in their hearts, and many ancient gods, immortals, and deities also sighed inwardly.

The Wujian Sect has been integrated into the Three Realms for a long time, and its members have long known and befriended each other. To start a war like this is tantamount to fighting against old friends; who wouldn't be heartbroken?

"We cultivators painstakingly cultivate, but what is the ultimate purpose? Is it to follow the will of Heaven and the will of Man? If it is to submit to fate, why did you all undergo the Heavenly Tribulation in the first place? To perish under the Heavenly Tribulation is surely to submit to fate, isn't it?"

These words have changed the views of countless people.

Yes, if fate says war, must we go to war? Why not resist? What exactly is fate?

If everything is in accordance with Heaven's will, then what was the point of my suffering under the Heavenly Tribulation back then? If everything is in accordance with Heaven's will, then I should have been struck dead during the Heavenly Tribulation.

Heavenly tribulations are cultivators' resistance against fate; but why do we now believe in and submit to fate?

"Who among those who have become immortals truly believes in fate? Have you all forgotten how you fought against fate and how you struggled against the heavenly tribulations?" Yun Hua's voice carried an indomitable fighting spirit, awakening the fighting spirit in the hearts of countless cultivators.

"What is the purpose of our arduous cultivation? Is it to be at the mercy of fate?"

"No!"

"Once I swallow this golden pill, my fate will be no longer in the hands of heaven!"

These words resonated deeply with all those who aspired to become immortals.

After becoming an immortal, everyone's dantian, primordial spirit, and many other things are unified and transformed into a golden pill. Isn't this just "swallowing a golden pill"?

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens"—this makes it easier to understand. Tell me, in the Three Realms, which cultivator, while cultivating, truly thinks of conforming to the Way of Heaven and destiny?

No! It's impossible for a cultivator to practice in accordance with fate.

Because conforming to fate leads to mortal life, while defying it leads to immortality; cultivation itself is a process of defying the heavens. If everything were to conform to destiny, then there would have been no need to resist during the heavenly tribulation.

However, these words shocked everyone in the Three Realms, because very few people in the Three Realms had seriously considered this issue.

They might think about it occasionally, but they would never seriously delve into it. Firstly, thinking about this problem is useless because they are too weak; they would rather use that time to improve themselves. Secondly, those who truly have the ability to think about this problem are also frightened because Pangu died because of fate.

Even the god Pangu perished under fate, so what chance did they have to resist?

However, Yunhua's words were not meant for the powerful beings who had given up resistance, but for the cultivators who had not yet comprehended the Dao of Heaven.

"Yes, why must we be enemies? Why are our Nuwa faction and the Wujian Sect hostile to each other? Is it destiny? Why is there such a destiny? Why must we follow such a destiny and fight each other?"

"That's right, the enmity between us and Nuwa's camp has long since vanished. We even have good brothers who went through life and death together. Why should I fight them? Why can't I control my own destiny? Who decided this fate?"

"Originally I roamed freely through the Three Realms, but now I'm forced to choose sides. Why must it be this way? Yes, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. I will follow the choice in my heart. I will not participate in the war!"

Throughout the Three Realms, the hearts of many cultivators, whether from the Boundless Sect or Nuwa's camp, wavered. They no longer wanted to fight against the opposing faction, because they knew that once the battle began, they would most likely just be cannon fodder.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. Is this what Master is thinking?" Ji Ning was shocked to hear Yun Hua's words. Yun Hua had said something he had never dared to think of before.

During the years before Yunhua left, Ji Ning had asked Dao Ancestor Chiming about the reason for this battle, and the answer he received was still the word "fate".

Fate has decreed that Nuwa's camp and the Wujian Sect must engage in a decisive battle, but Ji Ning has never known why this is so, nor does he know what the consequences of defying fate will be.

"Master may be trying to quell the current conflict in the Three Realms by doing this. But doing something like this at this time is practically making an enemy of the Three Realms!" Ji Ning sighed inwardly.

Over the past few centuries, he has clashed with the Wujian Sect several times. While the Wujian Sect members certainly hate him to the core, he has also lost many friends to them over the years. Ji Ning asked himself honestly, and he knew he was unwilling to make peace with the Wujian Sect.

If even I am like this, then what about everyone else in the Three Realms?

If such remarks had been made at the very beginning of the war, when the animosity between the two sides was not yet so deep, they might have actually been able to calm things down; but now that the war has been going on for so long, it is extremely difficult to quell the conflict.

Chapter 1043 Suppressing the Three Realms

But Ji Ning also understood that if it were the period right after the start of the great war, when Yun Hua had only recently become a god, even if he spoke up then, it would have no effect at all. No one would listen to the words of a “weak” person; and if he became stronger, it would be too late.

At this moment, figures have appeared in the sky above the Great Xia World.

One by one, the powerful figures from Nuwa's camp emerged from the void: the Three Sovereigns of Humanity, the Three Pure Ones, the leaders of Buddhism...

One by one, powerful figures from the Boundless Gate appeared, including the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Master of Huanmu, and even the true form of the Black-Robed God King…

Even some neutral cultivators from the Three Realms made their appearances, such as Elder Yuan.

At this moment, countless powerful figures appeared from both the Wujian Sect and Nuwa's camp.

Yunhua's words were addressed to the entire Three Realms, and their impact was enormous, shaking the morale and fighting spirit of both sides. It left the powerful figures of both camps with no choice but to be anxious.

Moreover, Yunhua's strength is extraordinary, absolutely unmatched by other "neutral" cultivators. This can be seen from the commotion of his breakthrough to the Ancestral Immortal realm and his previous comprehension of the Four Heavenly Daos.

Neither side can afford to be careless when dealing with such a powerful opponent.

"Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, are you serious? Do you really intend to defy the will of fate?" Daoist Sanqing was the first to speak, his sharp eyes fixed on Yunhua, his sword aura held back, showing signs of being ready to attack at the slightest provocation.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Jiehuo has spoken too much!" The Buddhist leader also stepped forward, joining the Three Pure Ones in pressuring Yunhua.

"A word is as good as gold!" Yunhua uttered these four words when facing the two leaders of Buddhism and Taoism.

He exuded an astonishing aura, remaining calm and composed even when facing renowned Buddhist and Taoist leaders. He spoke with unwavering composure, his authority overwhelming the world. His stance was steadfast.

The numerous powerful figures standing nearby were greatly shocked; Yun Hua was far too powerful now.

With countless powerful beings from the Three Realms gathered here, his attitude was astounding. No one could imagine just how confident Yunhua was in his own strength.

"Jie Huo, what are you thinking? Even Pangu the God couldn't defy this fate, are you out of your mind?" Chi Ming Dao Zu shouted sternly.

Yun Hua remained calm. He looked at the group of powerful figures around him and said:

"So what if I don't value my life? In the Three Realms, who can kill me? You? You think you can?"

"Sanqing Daoist, your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is hailed as the number one killing formation in the Three Realms. Why don't you give it a try and see if your killing formation can defeat me!"

"Lord of all demons, you escaped from Nuwa's clutches back then. Why don't you try and see if you can escape from me?"

"Bodhi, you claim to have unparalleled power over time and space. Why don't you try and see if your power over time and space can surpass mine!"

"And there are also powerful figures from other chaotic worlds, such as the Old Man of Origin. Why not give it a try and see if your mental strength can subdue me!"

Yunhua's gaze swept across the faces of the many powerful figures from both the Nuwa and Wujian factions, offering his comments on each one, before suddenly bursting into laughter—

"Hahaha!"

"I, Jiehuo, will challenge all the powerful beings in the Three Realms today."

"Today, I will subdue the Three Realms with my own power. Who dares to disobey?"

"Arrogant and conceited!!"

"Jie Huo, do you really think you're the number one in the Three Realms? Do you really think you're the second Nuwa?"

"How dare you! The Three Realms are full of hidden talents and powerful figures. How could a junior like you possibly know everything? You should take back your words, apologize to us, and then leave quickly to avoid needlessly losing your life."

As soon as Yunhua uttered his challenge to the Three Realms, countless powerful beings around him spoke up, some rebuking him, some scolding him, and some even demanding that he apologize to everyone.

"Jie Huo, have you thought this through? In the Three Realms today, my Nuwa camp and the Wujian Sect are irreconcilable enemies. We absolutely will not allow any cultivator to remain 'neutral'. If you insist on doing so, don't blame us for taking drastic measures!" Bodhi also spoke harshly to Yun Hua with a solemn expression.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Want to use force? If you have the guts, come on!" Yunhua looked down on the heroes.

But no one made a move when Yunhua finished speaking, because they couldn't figure out Yunhua's strength.

All they knew was that when Yunhua broke through to the Ancestral Immortal level, the scale of the event was almost comparable to when Nuwa broke through to the World God level; all they knew was that Yunhua comprehended the five Heavenly Paths: the Heavenly Path of Fire, the Heavenly Path of Yang, the Heavenly Path of Yin, the Heavenly Path of Life, and the Heavenly Path of Destruction.

In this situation, the first one to make a move is definitely the one in the most danger.

Moreover, both the Wujian Sect and the Nuwa faction are present at this moment. If any of the powerful figures from these two factions are injured in the battle with Yunhua, it would be a fatal crisis.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

But finally, one person stepped forward—it was Dao Ancestor Chi Ming. As the powerful being most familiar with Yun Hua, he was the first to test Yun Hua's strength.

"Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, I'm sorry!" Dao Ancestor Chiming rushed forward.

"Boom!!"

Chi Ming's full head of black hair stood on end. At this moment, Chi Ming no longer had the peaceful and quiet demeanor he had before. Instead, he went all out, his body growing to a height of ten thousand feet. He gathered the power of water and fire all over his body and used his great divine power to suppress Yun Hua.

Yunhua looked calmly at the charging Chiming Daozu and simply raised his hand to strike down.

"Boom!!"

With a deafening roar, the powerful and pure Great Luo magic power within the golden core of his body instantly condensed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and slammed down.

"puff!"

Chi Ming Daozu coughed up a mouthful of blood. His true god body was covered in blood and cracked all over. A look of horror appeared on his face.

He was, after all, the founder of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram," the strongest divine and demonic body-refining technique in the Three Realms. Among true gods, he was definitely among the top three in terms of divine body strength. But now, he had been severely injured by a single, seemingly casual slap from his opponent!

Most importantly, the opponent did not use any profound or mysterious secret techniques or supernatural powers; he simply condensed his powerful and incredibly pure magical power into a palm and struck down directly.
