My son is about to break through.

"Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Li. Currently, many forces of the Evil God Clan are attacking the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, including the Myriad Buddha Divine Kingdom."

Even if I don't take action against the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas, I'm afraid they won't let it go!

Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly, but the smile looked rather cold and stern.

Hear the words.

Li Qianjue fell silent.

He understood what Gu Qingfeng was saying.

The three great divine kingdoms were destroyed.

Two Great Heavenly Venerables of the Ninth Tribulation were killed in a bloodbath.

Such a thing is enough to cause a stir throughout the entire evil god race.

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty has now become a thorn in the side of the evil god clan.

Although it didn't reach the point where an immortal personally intervened, it was still being watched by many top divine kingdoms.

Nobody wants that.

Another overlord has emerged from the human race.

These supreme beings, who can be considered below the immortal level, are greatly feared by many beings.

If Gu Qingfeng could be eliminated beforehand, that would be the best outcome.

After a long time.

Li Qianjue took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "The Heavenly Emperor has commanded that we obey the Immortal Emperor's orders. If the Immortal Emperor intends to take action against the Myriad Buddhas Divine Kingdom, then I will do my utmost!"

"It is enough to hear Fellow Daoist Li's words. However, the strength of the Myriad Buddha Divine Kingdom is extraordinary. Besides the Myriad Buddha Heavenly Venerable, are there any other Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerables?"

Gu Qingfeng nodded, then asked another question.

Hear the words.

Li Qianjue shook his head: "Nine Tribulation Grand Celestial Venerables are rare. Even many top forces only have one or two."

As far as the Celestial Court knows, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas has only one Ninth Tribulation Venerable, who is none other than the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

The strongest of the remaining ones is only at the eighth tribulation level.

As long as I don't face the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas, I am confident I can handle the other evil gods!

When Li Qianjue uttered the last sentence, a confident expression appeared on his face.

As one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Ziwei Celestial Court, his strength goes without saying.

Top-tier Eight Tribulations!

Although not as powerful as the Nine Tribulations, it is still not to be underestimated.

Hear the words.

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly: "Alright, then let's send troops to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas. I want to see if this ancient power is really as terrifying as the rumors say!"

His eyes were icy cold, revealing his murderous intent.

Gu Qingfeng naturally felt some apprehension towards the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

After all, the opponent's strength is not comparable to that of the likes of the White Bone God.

Both being Ninth Tribulation Great Celestial Venerables, the latter had broken through many years ago, and his cultivation level seemed to have entered the later stage of the Ninth Tribulation.

Celestial Venerable Realm.

The difference between each minor level is astonishing.

The further back you go.

The greater the gap, the better.

The initial stage of the Ninth Tribulation is insignificant compared to the intermediate stage of the Ninth Tribulation.

If it's the later stage of the Ninth Tribulation, then it's even more extraordinary.

but--

Gu Qingfeng was also confident.

The battle ten thousand years ago gave him a clear understanding of his own strength.

At that time, he was roughly equivalent to the early to middle stages of the Ninth Tribulation.

Now that the Netherworld Path has made another breakthrough, there will be absolutely no problem for him to steadily step into the middle stage of the Ninth Tribulation.

even.

Gu Qingfeng suspected that he was not much different from those at the later stages of the Ninth Tribulation.

After all, the Netherworld Path is unmatched by any other Path.

This is the great order.

It involves the very origin of chaos.

If Gu Qingfeng could advance further on the Netherworld Path and reach the seventh level, then he would be confident enough to face even the Heavenly Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Li Qianjue asked, "When does the Immortal Emperor plan to make his move?"

"Within a hundred thousand years!"

Gu Qingfeng said calmly.

"I need to go into seclusion for a while to prepare for dealing with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Before that, I need to trouble Fellow Daoist Li to lend a hand to the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty!"

"no problem!"

Li Qianjue was shocked, but he did not show it on the surface.

See this.

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared.

From beginning to end.

Li Qianjue did not detect any fluctuations in aura, as if the person in front of him had never existed.

This scene.

This caused the twenty-eight constellations of the Purple Star Celestial Court to gasp in shock once again.

"The Celestial Emperor Xuantian... his strength is truly unfathomable!"

If Gu Qingfeng's strength was formidable, that would be one thing, but the scene before him shattered Li Qianjue's understanding.

Even as a top-tier eighth-level expert, I couldn't detect the fluctuations in the other party's aura when they left.

hard to imagine.

This is something a Seven Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable could do.

Even when facing a true powerhouse like the Twelve Divine Officials who had stepped into the Ninth Tribulation, Li Qianjue would still be able to detect even the slightest trace of their aura.

but--

Now is not the time to be shocked.

Gu Qingfeng's words.

Make Li Qianjue understand.

This person's strength will likely see another breakthrough within the next 100,000 years.

At this level, it takes ordinary Celestial Venerables hundreds of millions of years to break through.

Compare.

Gu Qingfeng's breakthrough so quickly naturally startled Li Qianjue.

Fortunately.

Celestial Venerable Breakthrough.

They all have to face the tribulation of immortality.

Otherwise, Li Qianjue would have suspected that the other party had already reached the eighth tribulation level.

Suppressing his shock, he turned and left.

Li Qianjue naturally had to obey the orders of the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, and now that Gu Qingfeng had given instructions, he also had to act according to those instructions.

Subsequently.

Li Qianjue then summoned the other celestial officials.

"For the foreseeable future, you will all do your utmost to assist the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty. Whenever evil gods cause trouble, you must take action to suppress them!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the other celestial officials all nodded in agreement.

Li Qianjue said, "Also, unless there is something urgent, do not disturb me for the time being. I need to go into seclusion for a while!"

"Is my lord about to break through?"

One of the celestial officials, ranked among the thirty-six Yuan Chen, couldn't help but ask.

The other celestial officials also looked at the other party, their faces showing a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. You see...

At Li Qianjue's level.

The other party will not easily go into seclusion.

After all, no matter how much seclusion one engages in, it is ultimately useless.

Li Qianjue nodded: "Having witnessed the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable's actions, I have gained some understanding, but whether I can truly take that step is still unknown."

There are countless Celestial Venerables in the endless Immortal Realm, but those who can truly reach the Ninth Tribulation level are extremely rare!

When he finished speaking, Li Qianjue also sighed.

Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable!
That is the final realm below Immortality.

This realm.

It has blocked far too many people.

To date, countless Eight Tribulation Great Celestial Venerables have undergone trials and tribulations over hundreds of millions of years, yet none have truly been able to take that step.

Like Li Qianjue.

It took him thirteen trillion years to reach the eighth tribulation.

But so far, he has only reached the peak of the eighth tribulation and has not yet been able to truly break through to the final breakthrough.

This time.

Watching the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerables contend, and then fight against the three great divine kingdoms, killing many top divine lords, he barely managed to seize that sliver of opportunity in the life-or-death struggle.

For ten thousand years.

Li Qianjue only managed to gain some understanding after desperately going into seclusion.

This time.

What he needs to do is go into seclusion again, truly using the opportunity he has seized as a bridge to break through and truly reach the realm of the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

"Congratulations, sir!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, followed by great joy.

If Li Qianjue can break through, they will have another powerful expert at the level of a Ninth Tribulation Grand Heavenly Venerable to guard them, which will give them a better chance of success when facing the Evil God Clan later.

To know.

The Ziwei Immortal Court has now issued an order that this group of people must remain in the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty to defend against the invasion of evil gods.

Currently, the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is the target of the evil god clan, and the problems it faces are naturally severe.

In this situation, there is a significant difference between having one more Nine Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable and having one less Nine Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable.

"Congratulations can be said later. Whether I can break through is still unknown. However, during this period, unless it is a matter of life and death, you must not disturb my seclusion."

Li Qianjue smiled calmly, gave a serious instruction, and then disappeared.

Breakthrough achieved through seclusion!

This is what he has to do.

……

The once boundless Buddhist kingdom, filled with the sounds of chanting and covered with golden lotuses, is now eternally shrouded in dark green evil clouds.

All 36,000 golden Buddha statues turned pitch black, with eerie purple demonic flames flickering in their eye sockets.

Scales grew on the nun's snowy neck, and when she chanted sutras, she no longer spat out the scriptures but wriggling worms.

Inside the Mahavira Hall, in the sea of ​​blood formed from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the skinned remains of Vajra beings are constantly rising.

Crossing that twisted "pure" archway, once inlaid with millions of gems but now crawling with pulsating veins, the sensation underfoot is no longer the warm, smooth glazed glass, but a sticky, slippery layer of living skin, slightly undulating, with a temperature that makes your scalp tingle.

The smell in the air was even more bizarre—the sandalwood incense that used to cleanse the soul was now mixed with the scorching sulfur, the sweet stench of rotting flesh, and some indescribable musty smell from the deepest part of the abyss, all boiled together into a nauseating broth.

Looking up, the sky was like a lid sealed off by eternal, dark green, ominous clouds—dull, oppressive, and devoid of any light.

The radiant sunlight that once illuminated the Buddhist kingdom, warm and comforting like a mother's embrace, has long since vanished. Only a few streaks of eerie purple lightning occasionally pierce through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the towering shadows of the 36,000 statues below.

They were once golden Buddhas who saved the world, but now they are completely black, as if they have been burned by the most filthy karmic fire. Their material is neither gold nor stone, but rather resembles some kind of cooled lava or the leather of a stagnant giant beast.

The Buddhas raised their bowed heads, and deep within their originally compassionate and merciful eyes, two dark purple flames burned silently, coldly gazing down upon this lost Pure Land.

In the distance, the nuns and arhats under the twisted Bodhi tree or on the broken lotus platform had already become deformed.

The nuns' snow-white necks were covered with dark, cold scales. When they spoke, it was no longer the quiet chanting of Sanskrit, but a series of twisted, coiled, and visible black mantras. These mantras turned into tangible worms as they fell to the ground, hissing as they burrowed into the earth.

Some of the Arhats had bulging, knotted muscles, but they were petrified and grayish. White bone spurs protruded from their joints. What they held in their hands were no longer magical weapons, but the remains of some unknown giant beast or bone blades that were still dripping dirty blood.

The wind carried the murmurs, curses, maniacal laughter, and wails of countless beings, replacing the ancient chants of the Heavenly Dragon.

The sound was not harsh, yet it penetrated directly into the sea of ​​consciousness, stirring every strand of the stable soul of the one who stepped in.

In the deepest center, the Great Buddha Hall remains magnificent, but it has been transformed into a demonic cave spewing ominous light.

The palace gates gaped open like a giant maw, revealing a dark interior. The once clear and solemn Eight Treasures Merit Pool had now been transformed into a boundless sea of ​​blood.

The viscous blood churned and bubbled, each surge lifting up a massive but mangled corpse—the guardian deities of this place, their golden bodies stripped away to reveal the dark red muscle texture beneath. They floated and sank in the sea of ​​blood, slowly crashing against the filthy shore with the waves, producing a dull sound of flesh and filth rubbing against each other.

In the very center of the main hall, on the lotus platform that was once stained with endless blood, sits a phantom of a supreme Buddha, exuding an eerie and chilling aura.

His face was both compassionate and ferocious, as if he were half god and half demon, his divine and demonic nature shifting between each other, making him appear particularly strange and terrifying.

After a long time.

The demonic nature subsided.

Divinity prevailed.

The Buddha softly uttered the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"

A simple Buddhist chant emanates a power capable of cleansing the soul, instantly sweeping across the entire hall and even affecting the vast divine kingdom.

The indifference on the faces of the 36,000 golden Buddhas seemed to have faded somewhat, and a hint of compassion and struggle seemed to be brewing in their eyes.

At the same time, the violently struggling corpses in the churning Eight Treasures Merit Pool suddenly quieted down and fell silent.

But soon.

The compassion on the Buddha's face vanished, and the demonic nature regained its dominance. Its ferocious expression was cold and eerie, and terrifying power once again overwhelmed everything.

Affected by this extraordinary power, the 36,000 golden Buddhas once again became ferocious, and the once quiet Eight Treasures Merit Pool suddenly began to boil.

"Xuantian Immortal Dynasty...Kill...Amitabha!"

The Buddha's expression shifted constantly, his divinity and demonic nature intertwining. As these two forces collided, an eerie aura enveloped the entire divine kingdom.

After a long time.

Divinity has regained the upper hand.

The Buddha murmured softly, "Time is running out—"

He sighed.

His expression showed a hint of helplessness.

Subsequently.

The Buddha closed his eyes and silently recited scriptures. Throughout the vast divine kingdom, the sound of Buddhas reciting scriptures filled the air, adding a touch of compassion to the originally eerie Buddhist kingdom.

However, this compassion combined with the scene of the Buddhist kingdom is even more terrifying.

……

Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm

Since Gu Qingfeng and Li Qianjue went into seclusion, the pressure on Tianyuan Immortal Realm has greatly increased.

Fortunately.

With powerful figures from the Ziwei Immortal Court in charge, the Tianyuan Immortal Domain hasn't encountered any problems for the time being.

at the same time.

The various immortal realms of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty were also attacked by numerous evil gods.

As one immortal realm after another fell, battle reports kept reaching Gu Yang, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed.

Fortunately.

Critical time.

Jiang Jue left the pass.

The arrival of the Seven Tribulations allowed him to successfully overcome them.

The birth of a Seven Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable belonging to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty instantly dispelled much of the gloom that had previously shrouded the Immortal Dynasty.

After all, no matter where you are, a powerhouse at the level of a Seven Tribulation Grand Celestial Venerable is not to be underestimated.

Entering the Seven Tribulations.

That would mean truly joining the ranks of the top Celestial Venerables. (End of Chapter)
