Chapter 220: prosperity and decline
"This is a dreamlike era, and there are too many people who have achieved enlightenment!"
The saints were amazed and shocked. There were too many powerful people in this world and the impact would be far-reaching.
Even if this group of people eventually died, they would rewrite the landscape of future generations, create many imperial clans, and suppress more than one era.
Ye Fan’s becoming an emperor was like a trigger, and soon Ji Zi, Jin Wu, Huang Di, Lao Zi, Zhong Huang, Nan Yao and other former tribulation survivors followed.
As expected, one by one they achieved success, and the aura of the emperor permeated the world, making the heaven and earth tremble and all spirits submit.
"Times have changed. A God Emperor has emerged to suppress the world. The coexistence of various emperors will become the norm. This is a brand new era."
A quasi-emperor sighed, saying that from then on, the days when the ancient emperor was invincible and ruled the three realms and six paths were gone forever.
Even so, this is still the fruit of the Tao that all living beings strive for, but its status is slightly lower.
"boom"
There were countless flashes of lightning, the gods were causing chaos in the sky, and the power of the heavenly calamity was boiling, covering the sea of stars.
The destructive force permeated, the universe withered, and countless stars fell and turned into dust.
Zixia has a slender figure, a slim waist, beautiful eyes that move slightly, and purple clothes that flutter. She is like a fairy, beautiful and extraordinary, with a deep sense of Taoism.
She danced lightly with her bare hands, without a trace of worldly air, but she moved all the ways and borrowed infinite power from the heaven and earth.
The rules of heaven and earth moved together, the light of order was lingering, and the power of the universe was weakened a little and borrowed by her.
This power was incomparable, astonishing the world, splitting the nine heavens, shattering all kinds of natural disasters, and shocking people's hearts.
"The innate Dao fetus, this kind of physique becomes more and more terrifying as it progresses. The Western Emperor was the same in the past. His body and Dao merged, and his divine power was unrivaled!"
Deep in the starry sky, a dark shadow said, it feels a little decadent and bitter, it is a little old.
Many creatures in the world changed color. The Saint Lady of Purple Mansion lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in front of people, but she possessed such terrible power.
It is not at all inferior to the posture of the Holy Body when it is undergoing tribulation. It is simply controlling all the ways and destroying all enemies in the world.
"The Divine Court is full of talented people. Even that Taoist priest is very formidable. He has come a long way in the field of alternative enlightenment."
Someone mentioned Duan De, the wicked Taoist priest who was very mysterious and notorious in the starry sky, but now no one dared to say anything.
At least in terms of combat power, he was actually better than Zhonghuang, Nanyao, and Jinwu in their alternative stages of enlightenment.
This is amazing. At least the genius of the time has never heard of him, but he has grown to this point.
"He has a great background, so it's not surprising that he behaves like this. He is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Underworld Lord."
Inside the underworld, the Prison Emperor spoke slowly, his eyes complicated, a creature that everyone feared in the past has really reappeared now.
In the past, the Tongtian Mingbao escaped far away, and Changsheng Tianzun and others fled because they were afraid that Mingzun would return to settle accounts with them, but now it has reappeared like this.
It is not as mysterious and powerful as he imagined. Of course, he believes that the Lord of the Underworld has not truly awakened and revived the fruits of his previous life.
"Northern Emperor Wang Teng, everyone said he was dead, but I didn't expect he was converted. It's unprecedented for a believer to become an emperor."
The Emperor Xiang Yufei sighed with a puzzled look in his eyes. In fact, the method of salvation was indeed very evil.
But it is not an isolated case. The Buddhist sect and the ruthless people all have this method to influence a person from the heart and convert to Taoism.
But such creatures, who believe in others, are inferior in terms of conviction and spiritual heart, and their potential is damaged, making it hopeless for them to attain enlightenment.
The emperor is invincible and does not allow himself to bow. He only respects himself. Even if he is defeated, he should remain indomitable, just like in ancient times. Wang Teng's situation is really an anomaly.
"Ow"
It roared facelessly, with extreme ferocity, and opened its enormous mouth, swallowing up the sky and the earth.
Its Taotie true form is vast and boundless, more magnificent than the galaxy, and its power shakes the nine heavens.
Apart from She Yaoguang, he is considered the most murderous genius in this world. He has devoured too many lives, and many geniuses have died, which has strengthened his origin.
This is the innate divine power of the Taotie clan, which is unparalleled in the world and makes many powerful clans fear it. Now they even regard heavenly calamity as their concern and devour it like a voracious beast.
When one reaches the level of alternative enlightenment, overcoming tribulations is not a problem and there are very few failures.
"Zheng"
Zhutian's performance was also amazing. His eyes moved, attracting inexplicable power and affecting everything in the universe.
The Zhulong are a terrifying race, said to be close to immortals. When they open their eyes it is day, and when they close their eyes it is night.
Many legends were left behind in ancient times, and now it has demonstrated its supreme power, taking away the glory of most of the universe.
Everything dimmed, and the sky was filled with lightning, which gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Every enlightened being is unique, with different methods and his own Dharma. Otherwise, how could he achieve this?
"Sure enough, it's still a little bit worse after all."
Jin Chanzi sighed. As Ye Fan and others achieved enlightenment, the mark of the emperor spread to all corners of the world, and the suppressing influence of that great avenue became more and more obvious.
The power of the Emperor's Tribulation increased dramatically, causing many people to vomit blood. Those creatures who were at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor's Tribulation had already turned into ashes.
When this rising star in Buddhism encountered disaster, he was the first to give up and began to sever the cause and effect.
The imperial calamity was vast, and he had barely survived 50% of it before showing signs of not being able to hold on. However, the creatures that Ye Fan and his companions had managed to steal the secrets of heaven last time had survived at least 80% of it.
Not only is the influence of the remaining traces of the imperial way deepening, but there is also a gap in foundation.
"puff"
Not long after, the solar body Ye Tong could no longer hold on. His condition was slightly better, but he still could not succeed.
There are more and more sentient beings who have achieved enlightenment, which has a great impact on those from the outside world who are undergoing tribulation.
One after another, the alternative Buddhas stopped in their tracks, and after sensing the crisis, they decisively stopped responding to the calamity.
Without the accumulation from the previous time, it would be impossible to achieve success in one go, unless the combat power was extremely powerful.
"The suppression of the avenue is becoming more and more terrifying. The emperor of this generation is too outrageous. It is better than the accumulation of an era."
Many people were shocked. The difficulty of becoming an emperor was visibly increasing. There were simply too many powerful people.
The Great Dao has suppressed the people to an unprecedented degree. Although the number of thirty emperors throughout the ages is an imaginary number, the emperors of this era are probably not weaker than this number.
"What a pity. Actually, it is unnecessary. After the extreme glory and unprecedented brilliance of an era, there will be depression and decline."
The Divine King Jiang Taixu sighed. He is now a quasi-emperor. According to him, Ye Tong and others actually missed the destiny of becoming emperors in this life.
This may not be a bad thing, but for most geniuses, after becoming emperors, they will be forever in oblivion.
Because there are only a limited number of elixirs of immortality in this world, and there are too many emperors in this world, there are simply not enough to go around. If one achieves enlightenment in a hurry, one will lose the chance for a second life.
They have gained the benefits of this era, with the clash of geniuses, the struggle of the strongest, and the sharpening of invincibility, but they also have to suffer the disadvantages of this era, as resources are really insufficient. As for those who have achieved enlightenment, it is impossible for them to seal themselves. There is nothing in heaven or on earth that can hold their years, and they are destined to wither with the great world.
"My father only lived one life, but it was also very brilliant. I will follow the example of the sages before me and will not be afraid of life or death."
Ji Zi was very calm and did not care much about his life span. For a creature like him who was brave and diligent, how could he retreat when he had the chance to achieve enlightenment?
Having lost the ties of this life, even if I have to seal myself off until the next era, I will be tired of it.
“Life and death are vast, who in this world can see through them? I have understood part of the state of mind of the Ancient Emperor.”
Ye Fan whispered that he had felt a heavy pressure in recent days. There were only a limited number of miraculous medicines, but the number of lives they could truly protect was limited.
He can only put his hope on the method of immortality, but the people around him are getting old, and Ji Ziyue even plans to seal them with the divine source.
It is really too difficult. Five thousand years have passed, and my cultivation has improved, but I am still not sure that I can live out my second life on my own.
Even though the ruthless emperor told him the way to become an immortal in the mortal world, it is easier said than done. The only way is to spend time to get through it. With the elixir of immortality, he will live two lifetimes.
If you fail, you will be in eternal damnation, not to mention guiding your relatives and friends to immortality. To save others you must first save yourself.
"That's good. After becoming an emperor, they will be stronger and can sharpen my path of chaos."
Eternity is unknown, Wang Bo whispered, he has been practicing silently for many years, and his strength has been rising.
However, the chaotic body has the characteristic of accommodating all the ways, and it will be of certain benefit to him if this creature becomes an emperor.
If it were a normal physique, it would have reached the peak of Qi and blood and entered the strongest state long ago, but the chaotic body has unlimited potential, and the Qi and blood can rise for ten thousand years and are always in an ascending stage.
He had a hope, a desire to reach his strongest state, to truly challenge that person and see how big the gap was.
“Is this the price of taking a shortcut?”
Yaoguang glanced sideways, feeling a little depressed. Five thousand years had passed, but his energy and blood were still as strong as the sea, and his brilliance was still dazzling.
But he still couldn't break the shackles, and his strength was frozen. Even with his incomplete chaotic body, he was stronger than some emperors.
But I still feel like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net, feeling the sadness of being trapped in my own cocoon.
"My clan has risen. The Golden Crow bloodline has finally produced a great emperor."
The ancient star Huosang cheered. When a living being achieves enlightenment, the impact is far-reaching and his closest bloodline will benefit.
Becoming the so-called imperial clan, leaving descendants that have lasted for many years, the Jinwu clan is already very extraordinary,
Five thousand years into the Divine Emperor era, another group of beings became emperors. The universe was shaken, and it was destined that many powerful races would rise.
Especially there are a few people like Zhonghuang and Nanyao who lack Taoist companions, and their doors are often crowded with people, and many tribes hope to form marriage alliances.
"The Holy Body became an emperor, and Xukongzi also became a Taoist. Two supreme beings in one family. The ancient Ji family has great luck. It's really enviable."
In the land of Eastern Wilderness, people were talking about it a lot. In this era, more than one or two holy places were destroyed.
There were even ancient dynasties that suffered disasters and were forced to seal themselves off. Many forces were brought to ruin, but the Ji family became increasingly powerful.
With those two people around, the family can be protected for at least 30,000 years. It is no secret that the Holy Body has the elixir of immortality.
"The ancient Jiang family is also thriving, and their luck may be even better. Jiang Yifei and Taiyin body are both unrivaled figures. More importantly, they have entered the Divine Court."
When talking about the Beidou family, one cannot avoid this lineage, which also possesses unparalleled divine power. The White-robed God King Jiang Taixu also has amazing potential.
Especially after Jiang Yifei became emperor, the Guhua Divine Dynasty recognized his orthodox status, acknowledging that they were from the same clan and that Donghuang was the main lineage.
They also want to use this opportunity to merge into the Divine Court system. The four great dynasties in Zhongzhou really lack a sense of security.
There was once a quasi-emperor who threatened the Shenzhou Dynasty, making them lose face and force them to bow their heads in submission.
A quasi-emperor alone dared to do this. There was no shortage of strong men in this era. Many imperial clans declined and no longer had the power to command the world.
This is a cruel reality, but we have to accept it. Without the combat power comparable to that of the emperor, we really cannot be called a first-class force.
"In terms of luck, who can compare to the Purple Mansion Holy Land? Even when the wind and waves are rising, he can sit on the Diaoyutai."
An old saint said, with an inexplicable mood, since the revival of the ancient clan and the rise of the God Emperor, too many great events have happened in Beidou.
The holy places of Sixiang, Jiuxiao, Daoyi, etc., either declined or died, and were all reduced to dust. Even the holy place of Yaoguang, which possessed the emperor's weapons, had to abandon its mountain gate.
The disciples were in a state of panic all day long, and most of them fled. Sui Fei was suspected to be related to the empress, and the Taoist lineage was about to be destroyed.
Only the Zifu Holy Land, although weak in strength, is as stable as a mountain, and its sphere of influence has not suffered any impact. It is really sad that clinging to someone powerful is a magical power.
"The Chaos Body is too strong. When Empress Cheng attacked for the first time, even the Holy Body, Ji Zi, and Ye Tong were no match for it."
In the mythical battlefield, there were reports of terrible battles. After many years, Wang Bo, the chaotic body, was born again and swept away all the heroes.
Some people say that he is finally gathering strength to conquer the whole world and perfect the fruits of the great way in the struggle for supremacy with other heroes.
And then he challenged the Emperor of God. As the second best person in the world, how could he lack an upward spirit?
It was because the Emperor Immortal was too powerful and his cultivation speed was ridiculously fast, so Wang Bo could no longer hold back. He was making progress, and the God Emperor was also sublimating.
"Beauty fades easily, and time is merciless!"
Inside the divine palace, the Immortal Queen whispered, she was still as stunningly charming and beautiful as ever.
But there was still a strand of white hair, which was very eye-catching, even though she wiped it out with her magic power to maintain her appearance.
But she could clearly feel her own aging. Five thousand years had passed, and her life was coming to an end. She was beginning to approach old age.
Not only her, but also the Ghost God, the Sun and the Moon, Kuntian God and others, all have little time left in this life.
"Queen, let's seal us into the Lesser Immortal Realm and avoid this period of time. The magic medicine needs time to accumulate. It will be more effective if it is left to the young people."
The Ghost God said that he respected the Queen of Heaven because of her identity, not herself.
The coexistence of emperors comes at a price. Not everyone can get the elixir of immortality and live a second life.
It's not bad for the Divine Court, as there is the world in the coffin as a support. They can still live forever in that world, which is vast and boundless and will not be too boring.
It's just that it's difficult to realize the truth, practice, and improve one's cultivation. It's countless times better than cutting one's own throat.
For those who have achieved enlightenment in the outside world, it is very difficult. Most of them cannot live a second life and can only end up in depression.
"This is natural. I am not a selfish person. I know when to advance and when to retreat."
The Immortal Queen responded that she was very intelligent and naturally understood what the gods meant, and this was also the mainstream attitude of the Divine Court.
Although the small fairyland lacks immortality, it is much better than the self-sealing in the ancient times, and one can come out at any time.
The world in the coffin is now in the Taichu Ancient Mine, where the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, the Great Peng Emperor, and the Golden Ancient Emperor are located.
Even the Emperor of the Divine Court often appeared and discussed with them. That place was vast and boundless, and after introducing some living creatures, it was not deserted at all.
