Chapter 695: An act of world destruction!

"Okay, then I'll ask you..."

The Jade Emperor looked at Lin Dong deeply, stroked his beard and said, “Have you ever thought about holding the Xuanyuan Sword?”

"what?"

Lin Dong frowned tightly.

Xuan-Yuan Sword, the Holy Sword of the Human Emperor.

This sword was forged by the Yellow Emperor using copper collected from Shou Mountain by the immortals.

The sword was first worn by Emperor Xuanyuan, and then passed on to Emperor Yu of Xia.

One side of the sword is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers and vegetation.

On one side of the sword's hilt is written the art of farming and raising livestock, and on the other side is written the strategy of unifying the four seas.

It contains infinite power and is a magic sword that can slay demons and eliminate evil.

There is a record in the ancient book "Guang Huangdi's Travels" that later there was a minister named Zuo Che who carved a statue of Huangdi from wood and led the princes to worship it. The ministers admired him so much that they took a table and a stick to build a temple to offer sacrifices to him, and took his clothes and hat to place on his tomb to guard it, so there was a tomb on Qiaoshan.

There is Qiaoshan in Zhouyang County of Shangjun, and there is Huangdi Temple in Fushi County, and there is Huangdi Tomb in Qiaoshan of Fangzhou.

Wherever Huangdi visited, there were shrines there.

Five hundred years later, the Qiaoshan Tomb collapsed and was empty, leaving only the Xuanyuan Sword.

This matter is recorded in "Jingshan Jing" and "Longshou Ji".

Except for the hissing sound of burning black fire, there was silence all around.

Lin Dong stared at the old Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor held the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand but just stared at the endless darkness in front of him expressionlessly. He was still at least thirty million feet away from breaking into the Heaven Beyond Heaven or seeing the head of Yuanshi Tianwang.

And the further we go, the more the pressure increases.

"I originally thought that I could rely on my own strength, but I didn't expect that the residual power of the corpses alone was so terrifying. Even if I hold the Xuanyuan Sword, I may not be able to cut through the many obstacles ahead."

The voice paused.

The Jade Emperor continued, “Later, you will hold the sword for me and move forward for a while. If possible, it would be best to insert the Xuanyuan Sword into the left eye chamber of Yuanshen Tianzun and use the Xuanyuan Sword to blast open a passage to the center of the Dark Heavenly Demon Court. I will enter it, and you will just have to withdraw quickly…”

"what?"

Lin Dong frowned even deeper.

"The Yuanshi Heavenly King has been infected by the devil. The three saints from the Dark Heaven have joined forces to pollute the status of the Heavenly Venerable. The saint has transcended the way of heaven, but has also reached the same level as the Great Dao."

"And the dark sky and the dark universe are the shadows of the prehistoric world. They can pollute the three thousand great ways, and naturally they can also pollute the saints. Unless you completely reduce them to nothingness and transcend the great ways, you can escape this disaster."

"It has always been the Dao Ancestor Hongjun of Zixiao Palace who held the Primal Chaos Bell and stood at the forefront of Dark Sky to seal the entire Shadow Universe. However, after the Conferred Godhood, Hongjun completely transcended, and the Dao Fruits he left behind were divided up by several saints."

"Yuanshi symbolically took away a seal of Taoism, while Laojun took away the Jade Butterfly of Creation and evolved into the current Gate of Creation, which opened up a way out for the sentient beings in the Three Realms. The two saints in the West completely divided up the fruits of Taoism. Wahuang took back the Chaos Bell, the treasure of the demon clan, and then Yuanshi Tianzun held the Pangu Banner and suppressed the entire primitive shadow - the Dark Sky Universe."

"Originally, after the second killing calamity was eliminated, the three Heavenly Lords should have come forward to preside over a holy war and completely smashed the Dark Heaven into pieces. However, the three saints in the Dark Heaven gave up on becoming a Daoist, and transformed themselves into three extremely evil and vicious treasures that could suppress destiny. For the sake of the Dark Heavenly Dao, they completely gave up themselves, and eventually polluted Yuanshi Tianzun, forcing Tianzun's authority to be reduced to Yuanshi Tianwang."

"Although it is still the fruit of the saintly path, Yuanshi has already been betrayed by his disciples, and Master Tongtian has fought back. It is completely hopeless to seek transcendence by reducing him to nothingness."

"Tongtian was also punished that year. He left behind several testaments and disappeared completely. No one knows whether he was transformed into a calamity or went to the Great Dark Heaven. The Three Saints are One, and Laojun's Dao Fruit has been gradually refined into reduction into emptiness. However, due to the influence of Tongtian and Yuanshi, it has become more and more strange. Except for accompanying the monkey in a play that year, no one has entered the Tushita Palace since then."

As the Jade Emperor told the story, Lin Dong gradually understood everything that had happened in the past.

"The other saints don't care?"

Lin Dong asked back.

"The West has already opened up the Pure Land of Bliss. With the help of Zhunti and Jieyin, and with the addition of Lingshan and the Infinite Buddha Kingdom, it is possible that the Three Thousand Worlds cannot be accommodated. The more demons there are, the more Buddhas there are. They may not want to see the two opposing worlds merge into one. When the two worlds merge, the earth, water, wind and fire will be reset. Maybe Pangu will be recreated, and the two saints can hand over their own fruits of the Tao to Pangu and directly transcend."

"As for Nuwa, she has been sleeping for many years. Even the demons can't count on her, let alone the rest of the living beings. Moreover, the spirit of Saint Nuwa has been damaged. Although she has the most legitimate position, she is burdened with great karma and can no longer help the living beings in the three realms."

Lin Dong fell silent. He pondered over what the Jade Emperor had told him. It seemed like this old man was planning to die heroically.

"I'm holding a sword to clear the way, what are you doing?"

Lin Dong asked with a frown on his face.

“Hahaha, of course, it is to let the creatures of Dark Sky live another season, withering and flourishing every year.”

The Jade Emperor said proudly.

Lin Dong didn’t quite understand.

“I will let Dark Sky reopen the earth, water, wind and fire, and some of the immortals and Buddhas that are dressed up as us will either transform into strange beasts of the mountains and seas, or into various innate spiritual treasures and spiritual plants… Any humanoid creatures will evolve into chaotic energy, and perhaps new innate gods and demons will be born among them, but no matter what, humans will definitely not appear!”

"By the time……"

The Jade Emperor stopped talking here. His words were inexplicably filled with grief and anger, and his tone changed slightly: "By then, there will be nothing for me to do. The world will be ruled by you young people."

"You want to fill yourself in?"

In addition to shock, there was also a hint of sadness in Lin Dong's words.

"Hahaha."

The old Jade Emperor's head, which had been somewhat drooping, suddenly raised up, and two balls of cyan-gold flames shot out from his gray eye sockets.

"If you want to destroy the world, how can you not be willing to sacrifice yourself?"

"You are the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the three realms, with countless heavenly soldiers and generals under your command. How can you do such a lonely and brave thing by yourself?"

Lin Dong retorted.

"Oh, Jiejiao, Chanjiao, who among the Western Sects will listen to me? If I don't go there myself, how can I rely on Li Jing and his son? Besides, with their limited skills, how can they accomplish such an extremely domineering thing?"

The Jade Emperor asked back.

Lin Dong was speechless for a moment and couldn't say anything to refute.

After thinking for a while, Lin Dong's eyes turned and he said, "It's quite domineering, not inferior to Pangu creating the world." However, you have to do it too... Lin Dong added in his heart.

"Open the way."

The Jade Emperor handed the Xuanyuan Sword to Lin Dong.

"Old man, if you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."

Lin Dong said in a deep voice.

"Don't hesitate. If you really want to remember me, go to my temple every hundred years and offer me a glass of wine."

After saying that, the Jade Emperor directly stuffed the Xuanyuan Sword into Lin Dong's hands.

"You have obtained a divine treasure! Xuanyuan Sword can be evolved into the orange divine affix "Boundless Universe". The sword contains a destiny of the Human Emperor. If you gather the three treasures of the Human Emperor, it can also help you achieve the position of the Ancient Human Emperor."

"This……"

Lin Dong held the Xuanyuan Sword but had no intention of refining it. He had a lot of affixes on hand, and his cultivation had already reached the top. Even if he refined it, it would only increase his potential.

Without achieving the fruit of the Tao, one cannot attain the status of a quasi-sage.

Refining it would at least waste the energy of the divine sword. It would be better to use it directly as a precious weapon to open up the road.

The moment he grasped the Xuan-Yuan Sword, Lin Dong took two deep breaths. The dark sky fire in the distance seemed to have a spiritual aura and kept approaching him and the Jade Emperor.

The rolling dark sky and the endless black demonic fire were like a rippling black sea, and at the end of the sea was an endless mountain that seemed like a pillar reaching into the sky.

A strong evil thought came towards Lin Dong.

Fourteen thunder balls were rotating around Lin Dong. If any of them were to hit the human world, it would become a terrifying thunder beast Dharma body thousands of feet tall.

Moreover, the lightning balls born from a special thunder and fire will sense each other. Although they are separated by a distance, the lightning released are connected to each other.

"Are you ready?"

Lin Dong cleared his throat and asked the Jade Emperor.

The old Jade Emperor nodded slightly.

next moment.

Lin Dong held the Xuanyuan Sword and stabbed it fiercely at the distant sky. The surging black devil fire piled up, and the golden flame rushed into the depths of the dark sky, and opened a shield to protect the surroundings.

Lin Dong and the Jade Emperor were both placed in the cover, and the overall shape of the Xuanyuan Sword looked like a huge shuttle-shaped magic weapon wrapped in flowing fire.

The steaming golden fire of humanity collided with the black fire of heaven.

It was like two colliding tides, rolling up endless waves. Sparks fell above the Yuxu Palace, directly igniting the Yuxu Palace complex. The caves of immortals and Buddhas were burned to ashes by the fire.

Most of Kunlun was engulfed in terrifying fire.

The Xuan-Yuan Sword carried Lin Dong and the Jade Emperor into the air, piercing through the layers of pressure.

Thirty million feet was just a few breaths, and the next moment it completely pierced through the thirty-three layers of the sky.

What was bulging in front of him was a red mountain of flesh, which could be accurately described as Yuanshi Tianwang's neck. "Not here, go up!" the Jade Emperor ordered.

But the actual situation was that Lin Dong had consumed almost half of his mana.

How terrifying is it that he has half of his magic power now?
Did you know that there is a Milky Way that runs through all the worlds above the four continents?
If the Milky Way was wiped out and the mana was converted into water, the mana in Lin Dong's body would be enough to sustain the four continents for at least a month.

However, such vast and boundless magical power was still drained away by half.

Just breaking through the dark curtain covering Yuanshi's head for a distance shows how heavy the pressure in the dark sky is.

Fly upward along the terrifying mountain of meat.

The Xuan-Yuan Sword pierced into the void like a dagger of gold and fire. Lin Dong flew higher and higher, and when he occupied the commanding heights of the universe, he was finally able to catch a glimpse of Yuanshi Tianwang's true appearance.

It was an extremely huge face, no different from that of a human, but full of majesty. First, there was the silver-white hair and the forehead as broad as the land, the eyebrows were like fallen pillars of heaven, and then there were the tightly closed eyes and eyelids like the curtain of heaven.

The bridge of his nose was high, piercing deep into the void. At the end was a mouthful of fangs that were ten thousand times more terrifying than the giant abyss… This was a majestic face that was beyond the comprehension of immortals and larger than the celestial bodies.

The head plunged into the Milky Way, and the white hair was entangled with one star after another.

Even though he closed his eyes, Yuanshi Tianwang still rested his head on the Milky Way in an unrivaled posture of heavenly master.

Lin Dong said that he was as small as an ant, but that was an exaggeration.

It must be described with a quantifier, perhaps dust or particles.

The golden flames gushing out of the Xuanyuan Sword became increasingly long and hot. Compared to Yuanshi Tianzun, it was just a golden toothpick.

"Can the Xuanyuan Sword be inserted?"

Lin Dong said with some uncertainty.

"Just do it!"

The old Jade Emperor shouted angrily.

at the same time.

Yuanshi Tianzun, with the Milky Way as his pillow, suddenly opened his eyes.

Lin Dong and the Jade Emperor were undoubtedly exposed in the huge eyeball that looked like a black ocean. Lin Dong directly stretched out his ten-thousand-foot-long Bull Demon body, and the Xuan-Yuan Sword also grew larger at the same time.

However, the consumption of mana is also extremely terrifying.

"kill!"

Roar.

The energy was so strong that the starry sky was shaking. The planets in the distance were hit by Lin Dong’s thunder sound waves, and the earth’s crust cracked directly.

The mad bull demon roared angrily.

The old Jade Emperor stood on his shoulder, holding the Xuanyuan Sword which was several thousand feet long. The sun, moon, stars and the constellations in the sky were all lit up at this moment on the sword.

It was like a torch pointed at your eyeball.

In addition to opening the eyelids.

Yuanshi Tianwang did not show the slightest expression from beginning to end, and just stared at them coldly.

That inexplicable pressure, as if he was carrying the entire galaxy on his shoulders, always lingered in Lin Dong's heart.

The moment the torch was inserted into his eyeball, Lin Dong poured out all his remaining magic power. The raging flames collided with the water waves in his eyeball, and the explosion formed in an instant even made Lin Dong's body unstable.

A violent whirlpool formed on the water surface, and the outline of a giant bronze door could be vaguely seen in the depths.

"Let's go. I'll take care of the rest by myself."

The Jade Emperor jumped off Lin Dong’s shoulders.

Lin Dong's feet were still stuck in the sea at this moment. This sea actually belonged to the surface of Yuanshi Tianwang's eyeball.

He looked around and didn't see any enemies, so his body returned to normal size and returned to his true form.

It was not until it returned to normal height that Lin Dong noticed that there were some fragments of magic weapons floating in the sea.

Among them are a huge golden wheel, an ancient but broken bronze bell, and a golden body of Buddha with a broken arm.

There is even an abandoned dojo deep inside.

It can be accurately described as a ruined temple.

There is a plaque hanging on it - Tianshui Temple.

Tianshui Temple?
In addition to the Fire Cloud Cave, the Taoist temple that Emperor Fuxi used for his office also appeared here. The dried corpse of Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, the ancient Tianzun whose indigo cheeks were drained of blood and described as a dry corpse, the black dragon that stretched thousands of feet, the golden-feathered Dapeng bird with broken wings... How could this happen? The explosion caused by the collision of the golden fire brought by the Xuanyuan Sword and the sea waves continued.

But Lin Dong's heart was full of doubts at this time.

"Don't look at it, go back early."

The Jade Emperor took the transformed Xuanyuan Sword from Lin Dong.

"The demon race has a Heavenly Emperor position. If you have the ability, you can just grab it. If any of the Three Saints issues an edict, don't try to take it. You will have an extra comrade in the future. Go back and prepare. Lingshan will notify you... Prepare to go to the Dark Heaven to open up a new era."

After saying that, the old Jade Emperor, alone with a sword in hand, slammed into the bronze door at the bottom of the sea.
