From Godhood to the Heavens

Chapter 174 Heavenly Emperor's Decree

As he continuously compressed and gathered the power of thunder into his body, lightning seemed to flash in Fang Ping's eyes. The moment he stretched out his hand, chains of lightning burst forth from his palm.

With a wave of his hand, the Five Elemental Pearls appeared before him, their light dimming slightly, except for the Thunder Elemental Pearl, which shone with boundless brilliance.

Fang Ping put away the five spirit orbs with a backhand, clenched his fist, and felt the surging power of his physical body, his heart filled with surprise.

Demon Lord Chonglou's figure flashed instantly, his aura exuding its full power, and he suddenly appeared in front of Fang Ping, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Now you're worthy of my attention!"

Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, fight me!"

Fang Ping stared intently at Demon Lord Chonglou, causing Chonglou to frown and reveal a hint of displeasure. He said, "You want to go back on your word?"

Fang Ping shook his head and said, "Of course not. But even if you fight now, it can't be considered your peak battle. Your mind isn't on it, so you have weaknesses."

I've broken through to become an immortal, but my power isn't fully consolidated yet. Neither of us is at our peak, so how can we possibly have a satisfying battle?

Demon Lord Chonglou frowned slightly, reached out and touched his chest. For some reason, his desire to fight suddenly diminished considerably.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don't want to hear it. I haven't had a good fight in a long time. Only battle can get my demonic blood boiling."

Even at my peak, I am still invincible within the Six Realms. No immortal or demon can rival me. You may be somewhat weaker, but you can still pique my interest!

Just then, auspicious clouds suddenly rose in the sky, ten thousand golden lotuses fell from the sky, a golden light descended from the heavens, and a huge portal appeared.

Golden light spread down from the portal, reaching Fang Ping's feet. Then, countless fairies emerged from the portal, playing music, scattering flowers, and dancing, creating a magnificent scene.

Demon Lord Chonglou's face showed a hint of displeasure, as if he had seen a fly, and he made no attempt to conceal his gaze.

In the next instant, a white-bearded celestial official flew out from the Heavenly Gate and landed in front of the square plane.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on passing the tribulation to become an immortal and achieving the status of a celestial immortal."

The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that you, fellow Daoist, be invited to the Heavenly Palace and be granted the title of First-Rank Divine General!

Demon Lord Chonglou was very displeased, staring at the white-bearded celestial official with a hostile expression, but he suppressed his anger. The reason he did not attack the Heavenly Court and fight against the Heavenly Emperor, the common ruler of the celestial realm, was because both of them were rulers.

Once the fighting starts, it won't be a battle between individuals anymore; it will be a war between the celestial realm and the demon realm.

In name only, the Heavenly Emperor is not only the ruler of the Immortal Realm, but also the ruler of the Six Realms, and even surpasses the Demon Lord.

If he weren't still rational and unwilling to provoke a war between the six realms, Demon Lord Chonglou would have directly taken action and eliminated this guy who was interfering with his battle!

Fang Ping's gaze swept over the celestial official, instantly discerning his cultivation level: peak True Immortal Realm.

He was just one step away from reaching the same realm as the Demon Lord Chonglou, but this peak True Immortal Realm seemed a bit weak. Fang Ping had a feeling that he could smash him with a single punch.

Shaking his head to dismiss the thought, Fang Ping looked at the celestial official holding the imperial edict and said, "No need, I have no intention of joining the Heavenly Court!"

The white-bearded celestial official frowned immediately, but managed a smile again as he said, "It is the Heavenly Emperor's decree; please do not put this humble immortal in a difficult position!"

Demon Lord Chonglou was immediately delighted and eagerly asked, "Do you need me to help you solve this?"

Fang Ping tilted his head, his smile fading, and then said, "So you mean you can make things difficult for me?"

The white-bearded immortal official remained silent. He was not worried that Demon Lord Chonglou would attack him. Not to mention that he represented the face of the Heavenly Emperor, Demon Lord Chonglou was warlike but not brainless and would not want to start a war between the two realms.

I came here on orders, and the Heavenly Emperor could not tolerate the Demon Lord attacking me.

"Fellow Daoist, the Heavenly Emperor is waiting for you!" The white-bearded immortal official said with a smile, reaching out to put his hand on Fang Ping's shoulder.

A terrifying force suddenly struck, as if it would control Fang Ping in an instant.

In the next instant, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and a lightning sword light fell instantly. The white-bearded immortal official's expression changed instantly, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

However, as soon as he appeared at the Heavenly Gate, Fang Ping stretched out a hand and instantly covered the white-bearded celestial official's head.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of power burst forth, and with a muffled bang, a head exploded, spraying countless blood flowers.

He casually flicked his hand, scattering the blood. At the same time, flames burned the blood and the remains of the corpse to ashes. With a soul-piercing scream of agony, he was completely reduced to ashes.

Fang Ping suddenly raised his head, a smile playing on his lips. He was now certain.

The moment he severely injured the Evil Sword Immortal, the overwhelming malice that rushed towards him, the malice that seemed like the will of heaven and earth, ultimately came from that seemingly kind Heavenly Emperor.

Sure enough, the moment the celestial official was killed, there was no need to hide this malice.

Although Fang Ping didn't know the exact reason, the essence of it all pointed to the Evil Sword Immortal.

It must be because the arrangement on the Evil Sword Immortal's body originated from the Heavenly Emperor, and he first sealed the Evil Sword Immortal, and then almost destroyed the newly created Evil Sword Immortal.

The repeated disruptions to the plan angered the Heavenly Emperor!

Demon Lord Chonglou frowned, an uneasy feeling welling up in his heart. He said with a slightly strange tone, "My demonic power has been suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao!"

Fang Ping was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he looked up at the sky. In just an instant, he seemed to understand everything.

The Heavenly Way of the Human Realm is fundamentally based on the Way of Humanity, with a layer of black demonic path covering it, yet they are clearly distinct. Occasionally they may intersect, but they are instantly expelled.

Demon Lord Chonglou can cover up humanity for a short time, but he cannot change the essence of humanity. However, above humanity, there is a radiant power of immortality.

It already occupies 10%, and it seems to be encroaching on and covering more areas.

Fang Ping was slightly taken aback, but in an instant, he understood. It turned out that there was no concealment at all; the will of Heaven replaced the will of man, and the way of Heaven replaced the way of man.

As the master of the immortal path in this realm, he extends the tentacles of his power to the other five realms, truly becoming the master of the six realms and controlling the six paths.

The existence of the Evil Sword Immortal is merely to overturn the fixed pattern of the Six Realms and weaken the power of the other five realms until it is weakened to the extreme.

The Heavenly Emperor only needs to seize the opportunity to claim all the spoils of war, and that will be enough to advance to a higher level and become even more powerful!
