Chapter 134 Planning a Counterattack
"Boy, I am the Divine Bull under the seat of Lord Taishan. Submit to me quickly." A loud shout came from the nothingness in the center of the huge hole in the void.
But after hearing the identity of the Divine Bull Master revealed, Ding Hai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After knowing the name of this bull demon, Ding Hai immediately found all the records about it in his mind.
The Kunlun sect in this small world once collected a biography called "The Chronicle of the Great Emperor of Dongyue".
This biography once recorded its deeds.
According to the biography "Chronicle of the Great Emperor of Dongyue", this bull demon was an alien species from heaven and earth.
After being defeated by the sword of Emperor Dongyue when Sui Gu first committed evil, he was taken by Emperor Dongyue and used as a mount.
Before the immortals and gods disappeared, this bull demon was also a bully in the Nine Netherworlds.
"The ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Sheng - Wang Nanrong."
Facing the questioning of the Red-Scaled Bull Demon, Ding Hai calmly revealed his current identity.
Judging from the Red Scaled Bull Demon's posture, the two of them will definitely fight today.
In this battle, one of them is bound to fall.
Ding Hai believed that the person who fell down was definitely not him, so what was wrong with revealing his identity?
"Humans are like ants." The Red-Scaled Bull Demon was very dissatisfied with Ding Hai's attitude.
When will a human cultivator who has barely reached the fairyland be qualified to have an equal conversation with me?
"You are disrespecting God and seeking death." The Red-Scaled Bull Demon immediately used his magical powers to kill Ding Hai.
As soon as the great magical power of Fa Tian Xiang Di was used, the Red Scaled Bull Demon's momentum suddenly increased several times, and its body size also increased several times accordingly.
Looking at the Red Scaled Bull Demon that was so powerful that it seemed like it was going to pierce the sky, Ding Hai's brows couldn't help but furrowed for a few breaths.
The Red Scaled Bull Demon is already very powerful, and coupled with his magical power of Fa Tian Xiang Di, which can instantly increase a person's combat power several times.
Ding Hai already feels threatened.
If things go wrong, his clone might really die here today.
However, Ding Hai did not back down.
Although he could not control the heavens and the earth, he had some understanding of this great supernatural power.
While the great magical power of Fa Tian Xiang Di can give a person several times the combat power, it is also madly consuming the user's energy and spirit.
Although the Red Scaled Bull Demon is an ancient alien species with extremely powerful cultivation and strength, it is hard to say how long he can hold up the Law of Heaven and Earth.
Once the Red Scaled Bull Demon fails to kill me under the Law of Heaven and Earth, the balance of victory will slide from it to me.
Neither of them was the type to hesitate. Now that they had identified their friend or foe, the Red-Scaled Bull Demon attacked immediately.
In an instant, a clenched bull's hoof claw appeared in Ding Hai's sight.
Faced with the Red Scaled Bull Demon's punch that was faster than lightning, Ding Hai was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
He barely managed to raise his arms in front of him before the fist came down, and before he could even get into a defensive posture he was knocked away from his spot by the punch.
In the next cup of tea time, the Nine Nether Passage was filled with the figure of Ding Hai being blown away. Ding Hai, who was always decent in battle, completely lost his image in this battle.
Black and blue face is not enough to describe Ding Hai's current condition. The adjective "there is not a single piece of good flesh on his body" is a bit light when used to describe him.
Ding Hai never thought that there could be someone who was at the same level as him, and could beat him so badly that he broke bones and tendons in just a cup of tea, leaving him unable to fight back!
However, fortunately, even though many of his bones were broken and his internal organs were almost rotten to mud, the body he had cultivated for more than ten years still preserved his life and combat power.
After a cup of tea, Ding Hai, who was experienced in fighting, keenly realized that the opportunity he had been expecting was about to appear, and there was hesitation in the offensive of the Red-scaled Bull Demon.
After sensing the opportunity, Ding Hai made a prompt decision and summoned the remaining magic power in his body, using it as a spark to ignite his spirit.
He would not be so naive as to wait until the Red-Scaled Bull Demon could no longer maintain the Law of Heaven and Earth before taking action. That would be treating the Red-Scaled Bull Demon as an idiot.
"My heart is the heart of heaven, my will is the will of heaven, my way is the way of heaven - I am the only one who rules."
A mighty aura as vast as the sea rose from Ding Hai's body. At this moment, he looked like an almighty emperor standing above the sky, suppressing all things, and reaching out to fight the enemy.
The huge cracks in the void that originally filled the land of Jiuyou were suddenly eclipsed by this punch.
Compared with this punch, the Red Scaled Bull Demon's fist that had once turned Ding Hai into a puddle of mud was like the light of a firefly.
Faced with Ding Hai's sudden outburst, the Red-Scaled Bull Demon was unable to react at all.
Rumble!
A fist and a hoof collided again.
Click!
A dull, heavy yet earth-shaking sound came from the place where the two fists intersected.
A crack appeared on the Red Scaled Bull Demon's fist, which looked like it was made of red divine gold.
As the sound spread, more and more cracks appeared on the Red Scaled Bull Demon's fist.
As time passed, the cracks spread along the Red-Scaled Bull Demon's arms at lightning speed and gradually spread to his torso.
The red scales on its body, which were once as bright as red gold, instantly lost their dazzling luster due to the erosion of cracks.
"What's the name of this punch? Is it the unique skill of that great master?" The Red Scaled Bull Demon, whose body was covered with cracks, held on and asked Ding Hai about the confusion in his heart.
"The name of the fist is - I Am The Only One. I am the creator. You are the first enemy to be killed by it."
"I am the only one who is supreme, what a supreme one! Heaven has really found a good helper, right?"
As the sigh uttered, the Red Scaled Bull Demon's cracked body and its cracked soul turned into ashes at the same time.
…………
In the first month of the first year of the Daming calendar, the Holy Emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and ascended the throne.
In the same year, the Holy Emperor went into the netherworld and swept through the nine underworlds, establishing the Dragon Court.
On the second day of the second month of the second year of the Daming calendar, the Holy Emperor broke through the realm and ascended to become an earthly immortal.
On September of the sixth year of the Da Ming calendar, the Japanese pirates in the East invaded the coastal areas. The Holy Emperor sent the Crown Prince to go out to sea. On the third day of October, the Japanese pirate chieftain surrendered and the three islands in the East knelt in submission.
In the first month of the seventh year of the Da Ming calendar, the King of Ryukyu wrote a letter requesting to submit to the emperor. The Holy Emperor issued an edict allowing Ryukyu to submit and changed the title of the King of Ryukyu to Linghou.
In April of the same year, the Xianbei regime of Goguryeo invaded the northern border but failed. The Holy Emperor was furious and ordered the border troops to march out of the border. In July, the Xianbei regime of Goguryeo was destroyed.
In the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions either surrendered or were destroyed by sandstorms, and the Silk Road was reopened.
In the 13th year of the Da Ming calendar, the Crown Prince went to Southeast Asia alone. The tribes in Southeast Asia all admired the Crown Prince's appearance and sent envoys to the court in order to seek an audience with the Emperor.
The Holy Emperor ordered all civil and military officials to receive the envoys from the Nanyang tribes with great ceremony. During the banquet, the envoys jointly wrote a letter to the Holy Emperor, requesting that the tribes submit to the Holy Emperor.
As the envoy was very determined and even threatened to die, the Holy Emperor had no choice but to order the Crown Prince to take over the matter.
In August, the 48 tribes in Southeast Asia submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and Southeast Asia entered the era of talismans and formations.
In the 17th year of the Ming calendar, the maritime inspector Ma Sanbao traveled around the world and discovered the New World based on the nautical chart presented by Xu Baiyue, the president of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.
In the same year, the Holy Emperor issued an edict to restore the system of enfeoffment of clan members and officially launched the large-scale immigration plan.
In September of the same year, the Holy Emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and enthroned heaven on Mount Tai. The heavens were grateful for the Holy Emperor's achievements and sent down celestial light to welcome the Holy Emperor and his ministers to the heavenly palace.
The Holy Emperor was appointed by Heaven but felt that he lacked virtue and did not dare to ascend to Heaven to be Emperor. After his ministers advised him three times, the Holy Emperor had no choice but to ascend the throne in the Tongming Palace in Heaven and be crowned Emperor - called the Emperor of Heaven.
At this point, the entire Ming dynasty ascended to heaven, transforming the dragon on earth into the fairy palace in the sky. The Ming calendar ends today.
I, the Grand Historian of the Ming Dynasty, Sima Qi, am writing this.
…………
In the capital city, at Guanyun Pavilion, two people were practicing the art of Taoism with black and white pieces.
After a long time, the elderly man holding the black chess piece stopped making any moves.
"I didn't expect that in just thirty years, your cultivation has advanced to this level?
Is the Heavenly Palace and the Emperor of Heaven really that powerful?"
The old man who spoke was Fu Qingzhu, the King of the North back then.
Although he was released from house arrest by Ding Hai and was allowed to leave the capital, in order not to cause trouble for his two daughters, he only moved around the capital.
The person he played chess against was Xu Baiyue, who had surrendered through him.
Xu Baiyue turned a blind eye to the complaints hidden in the words of his old friend.
He couldn't go to the immortal official in charge of the law and report his old friend for defying the Emperor of Heaven.
"The Heavenly Emperor's methods are indeed unpredictable. Relying on the system established by the Heavenly Emperor, the orthodox status of the Heavenly Court has once again taken root in the land of Jiuzhou, and this situation is still spreading outward at a rapid speed.
The Dragon Court of Jiuyou has officially transformed into the underworld and started to reward the good and punish the evil. All kinds of gods, big and small, are now spread all over the former Ming territory.
Moreover, the Heaven and the Underworld have not cut off the promotion channels for talents in the human world, and the immortals and gods in the Heaven are all in a state of hard work and progress. My progress can only be ranked in the upper middle of the Heaven."
Xu Baiyue's words shocked Fu Qingzhu completely: "How is it possible? In just thirty years, you have crossed the gap between immortals and mortals. With such progress, you are still not ranked among the top ministers in the Heavenly Court?
If it is really as you said, then that Heavenly Emperor is almost worthy of the title?" Looking at his old friend with a look of shock in his eyes, Xu Baiyue sighed: "Twenty years as Human Emperor, thirty years as Heavenly Emperor, the one in Tongming Palace has long been worthy of the title.
In the old days of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's grandson was just an ordinary person, but after twenty years of organizing the underworld on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, the emperor's grandson has surpassed me in Taoism."
After saying this, Xu Baiyue turned around and left. With one step, he was already above the sea of clouds outside the Guanyun Pavilion.
As a former senior official of the imperial court and now a new official of the Heavenly Court, he took a lot of risks on this trip.
It’s okay to reminisce about the past, but it’s not okay to complain about the Emperor of Heaven with Fu Qingzhu.
Watching Xu Baiyue's back disappearing from his sight, Fu Qingzhu asked the last question in his heart: "Emperor Tian, how powerful is he now?"
Don't get me wrong, Fu Qingzhu has no intention of rebelling, he just wants to know how big the gap is between himself and Ding Hai.
Xu Baiyue, who had his back to Fu Qingzhu, did not answer Fu Qingzhu's question. How could the strength of a superior be disclosed at will?
Besides, it is a question whether there is anyone in the entire heaven who knows the strength of the Emperor of Heaven.
Fu Qingzhu was not disappointed when he saw Xu Baiyue's disappearing back. Whether the superior was strong or not was not something Xu Baiyue cared about. Fu Qingzhu sat down slowly and was full of worries. He didn't even think of reviewing the game.
Fu Qingzhu lowered his white-haired head, feeling lost. If he had been the winner in the battle for supremacy in the north, what would the situation be like now?
In a magnificent palace in heaven, a man in ordinary tight clothes was listening to a man in black nine-dragon clothes bowing.
"Grandfather, the underworld has officially started operating according to the system you set. I don't know what I did wrong that alarmed you. Would you mind ordering me back to heaven?" The person who bowed his head and asked was the adopted grandson who was guarding the underworld on behalf of Ding Hai.
The adopted grandson Wang Yu really didn't know why his grandfather summoned him back to heaven from the underworld?
According to his understanding of his grandfather and the information he got from the ministers, what he did in the underworld should be favored by his grandfather, right?
Could it be that he had offended his grandfather by convincing his former ministers to nominate him to be eternally imprisoned in the underworld? But there was no such thing as an eternal prince, let alone an eternal grandson?
My grandfather is about to live as long as the sky and rule the universe. Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for me to stay in heaven?
Looking at his timid grandson, Ding Hai, who was dressed in plain clothes, pointed at him and said, "Okay, you bastard, you better take off the mask in front of me.
You really can't hide your little tricks from me, aren't you just looking for a good position in the heavenly court to live a peaceful life since you have no chance to ascend the throne, and quietly strengthen your own strength and develop your own power?"
Even though his strength was close to that of a god, after Ding Hai saw through his little thoughts, his adopted grandson Wang Yu immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
Since ancient times, there has been no father and son in the royal family, and no family affection in the royal family, let alone what the Emperor of Heaven, who has longevity and long life, would look like.
Could it be that my grandfather was dissatisfied with my attempt to seize power and was preparing to depose me as the nominal heir?
"Grandfather, I, I, I!"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Look at your expression of despair. Who knows, countless schemes and intrigues might have been going through your head just now.
Well, it's better to have some cunning than none at all, so that after I leave, you won't lose power and become a puppet."
Ding Hai, who raised his adopted grandson from childhood, can guess what is in his grandson's mind without even looking at his butt.
After hearing what Ding Hai said, Wang Yu, the adopted grandson, immediately swallowed the heart that was stuck in his throat back into his stomach. Not only that, his heart that had just fallen back into his chest began to beat violently.
If he heard correctly, his grandfather's words seemed to imply that he was giving him power!
Thinking of this, the adopted grandson Wang Yu's breathing became rapid.
Glancing at his cheap grandson who was almost too excited to control himself, Ding Hai did not keep him in suspense: "You heard me right, you little bastard. I am indeed ready to give up the throne of Heavenly Emperor to you, but all this is subject to a prerequisite. First of all, your strength must keep up.
In thirty years, you have gone from nothing to something, from an ordinary person to the current state of being close to immortality. Even with the help of power and luck, it is enough to prove your excellence.
However, if you want to hold my position securely, your strength must at least improve to my level so that you can control the situation.
Zhuge Wulong and Feng He have both reached the fairyland. If you want to prevent them from having any disloyalty after holding the power for a long time, you must at least be stronger than them. "
Seeing that his grandfather so readily promised to let him ascend to the throne of Heavenly Emperor, the adopted grandson Wang Yu was delighted at first.
Then he looked at Ding Hai worriedly: "Why would grandpa say this?
You are the Emperor of Heaven, and you should be looking down upon the eternity from your position as the Emperor of Heaven."
It has only been thirty years since he ascended to heaven, and his life has not exceeded fifty years. There is still some affection between the grandfather and grandson. His adopted grandson Wang Yu has no intention of seizing power now.
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, listen to me first, then you can say anything else.
You are a pretty good bastard, you should be able to sense that this world is incomplete and what is missing. You who hide in the Netherworld all day should know it best."
"Is there a defect between heaven and earth? The Nine Netherworld? Could it be the place of reincarnation?" After a moment's thought, the cheap grandson guessed the answer?
"Six Paths of Reincarnation is bullshit. All living things in the world come from heaven and earth. It is normal for them to return to heaven and earth after death. Why do we have to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation artificially?
I'm talking about the laws of heaven. There are laws in the human world to govern officials and subjects, but there are no laws in heaven to govern the immortal officials who follow us to heaven.
After achieving immortality, who can guarantee that those bastards will not fall? Once those who have achieved immortality with us fall, the world will sooner or later lose balance and be destroyed.
All living things respect me as the Emperor of Heaven, bow down to me, and believe in me. How can I, your grandfather, watch all living things go to destruction? "
After hearing what his grandfather said, Wang Yu, the adopted grandson, looked at Ding Hai in confusion.
Isn't it just making a law applicable to the heaven? Why do you have to make it sound so tragic?
I almost thought that you were going to pass the throne to me?
Wang Yu, the cheap grandson who didn't know the seriousness of the matter, complained a few words in his heart.
Ding Hai, who knows people's hearts well, was amused by his own grandson's expression: "We all rely on the faith of the people to ascend to heaven. Once we lose the faith of the people, we will lose the source of our power.
By then, the backlash of our faith will make us never be able to escape rebirth. I guarantee you don’t want to know how miserable the end will be.”
“Today, the world is just beginning to settle down. Although civil and military officials have achieved immortality, they have not yet lost their humanity. If we do not solve these problems now,
In a few hundred years at most, someone in the world will raise the banner of rebellion against the Heavenly Court. You have finally earned the right to live forever. Ask yourself, are you willing to live for only a few hundred years?"
Ding Hai put the matter straight, and his adopted grandson Wang Yu, who knew the interests involved, immediately felt that it was necessary to establish the Heavenly Rule.
Who would want to be like those ancient immortals and gods who disappeared without a trace when they could live and be the superior? "Grandfather, what do you want your grandson to do?"
"I have already ordered people to draft the Heavenly Laws. If we rely solely on the law enforcement agencies within Heaven, Heaven will sooner or later fall. I cannot avoid things like personal relationships.
Therefore, I want to carve the Heavenly Law into this world and make it a part of the law, but it is difficult to do it with my own strength. I need the power of faith that you carry to bless me. "
Upon hearing that he didn't need to risk his life for the Heavenly Law that had not yet been born, and that the Heavenly Law just needed his power, his adopted grandson Wang Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"My power originally came from my grandfather, and now whenever my grandfather wants to use it, he can take it for himself."
Looking at his adopted grandson Wang Yu who had let go of his own body and exposed his magical body in front of him, Ding Hai smiled and nodded, thinking that it was not in vain that he had raised him.
With a point of his finger, the power of faith that was wrapped around his adopted grandson Wang Yu broke away from his control and was bestowed upon Ding Kai.
In an instant, Ding Hai's aura surged several times.
"I am the Emperor of Heaven. I have established the Heavenly Laws and Regulations for all sentient beings in the world to protect them. I hope that all sentient beings will follow the Heavenly Laws and Regulations in the future and not violate them and be struck by lightning."
After receiving the power from his adopted grandson Wang Yu, Ding Hai immediately took action.
As he thought about it, a grand voice spread throughout the three realms.
A jade-like fist followed closely and slammed into the boundless void.
In an instant, an invisible wave spread out from the void like ripples.
In less than a breath, this wave of movement spread to every corner of the world.
Under the cover of this wave, the heaven and earth seemed to freeze in an instant; the wind stopped, the clouds ceased, and the sun and the moon stood still.
When all creatures and spirits in the world were imprisoned by this wave, Ding Hai, who was standing above the ninth heaven, was not affected at all.
As his mind moved, the luck belonging to the heaven in the Tongming Palace in heaven suddenly turned into a long dragon of luck and soared into the sky.
In the capital city of the mortal world, the dragon energy that had been shrouding the capital of the Ming Dynasty suddenly took on the shape of a dragon and broke through the void.
A dragon of fortune also flew through the sky above the underworld which had just been re-established in the Nine Netherworlds.
It only took a few breaths before three earth-shattering dragon roars shattered the void and resounded beyond the Ninth Heaven.
Hearing the dragon's roar, Ding Hai knew that his backup plan had arrived and reached out to the void where the dragon's roar came from.
The three dragons of luck entangled together in an instant, transforming into a long sword filled with brilliance and luck, which was thrown into Ding Hai's hands.
Holding the sword tightly in his hand, Ding Kai no longer cared about anything else.
After using all his strength to activate the Sky-Observing Pupil and explore the Dao patterns scattered between heaven and earth, Ding Hai swung the sword of luck in his right hand and chopped it fiercely at the chaos outside the Ninth Heaven.
With a strike of the sword, the thin chaotic energy in the Nine Heavens Chaos was separated into the yang clear energy and the yin turbid energy by the sword energy surrounded by earth, water, wind and fire.
While the heaven and earth existed, the yang pure energy and the yin turbid energy did not separate as in the legend when Pangu created the world, with the pure energy rising to become the sky and the turbid energy sinking to become the earth.
As soon as this aura appeared, it was attracted by the existing world and was incorporated into the existing world.
Standing on the ninth heaven, Ding Hai transformed into a ten-thousand-foot giant and chopped at the chaos with seventy-seven forty-nine swords. The heaven and earth also absorbed the clear and turbid air forty-nine times.
Under the nourishment of the pure yang energy and the turbid yin energy, the heaven and the underworld, which originally depended on the human world to exist, broke away from the constraints of the human world and turned into real small worlds.
In the Heavenly Palace, the boundary that was originally somewhat illusory and ethereal was no longer shrouded in clouds and mist and difficult to approach. Various spiritual stones, precious medicines, immortal herbs and orchids appeared in the Heavenly Palace one after another.
On the edge of the underworld, the mountains and rivers that had seemed shadowy and about to disappear into water and moon mirrors at any time solidified again, and all kinds of spiritual minerals and treasures that were beneficial to ghosts and monsters emerged one after another from the land of Jiuyou.
Even the human world, which had not directly absorbed the Yang Qing Qi and Yin Zhuo Qi, had undergone earth-shaking changes. One dragon-like mountain range after another rose from the ground, and one new dragon vein and spiritual mine after another lurked in the earth. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was more than ten times that of the end of the Zhou Dynasty.
