From Godhood to the Heavens

They initially thought these were some lone wolves from an ancient sect that had been revived, but the sheer size of the army and the constant stream of powerful figures threw Emperor Nine Flames into a panic.

The most terrifying thing is that the demigods who went to the Central Region haven't even left this area yet, and the enemy army is already advancing towards the imperial city.

How could it be so fast?

Before the founding of the nation 5000 years ago, it took me over a thousand years to pacify this territory. Now, let alone persisting until the news reaches the Central Region, it would take my master several decades even for my spirit to reach Chiyang Mountain.

What kind of terrifying joke is this?

The enemy's advance was faster than our own flight speed, even though most of the kings and nobles were in the capital.

However, the princes he himself had enfeoffed were all at least comparable to the eighth realm under the support of a huge faith, and with the addition of guardian deities, their respective regions should be able to resist for some time!

How could they be so useless?

Did those cities that were granted fiefdoms not even offer any resistance?

However, the situation was clearly beyond the control of Emperor Jiuyan, and he now had only a few options left.

Either we can gather all the gods and lords before this ancient religion fully recovers, set up a great formation, and fight them to the death.

Alternatively, they could seek help from Chiyang Mountain, asking their master and eight senior brothers to join forces. It was said that their eldest senior brother had attained the realm of a main god a thousand years ago, and could be considered an ancestor of a region, just like their master.

If they were to join forces, they would surely annihilate the enemy like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.

However, whether such a large-scale operation was worthwhile was still under consideration by Emperor Jiuyan. It was merely a royal court in the desolate region, and it wouldn't be difficult for it to absorb incense offerings step by step and continue to condense several more emperor avatars.

However, breaking through to the tenth realm, reaching the realm of the main god, and becoming a local patriarch is almost impossible.

Unless he can shatter the other half of the evil thoughts and destroy the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, the connection between the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and himself, accumulated over 5000 years of incense offerings, is unimaginably deep.

Without resolving this lingering concern, even if there were an opportunity to break through to a higher realm, Emperor Jiuyan would not dare to proceed.

Originally, neither of these two methods required much hesitation, but the scriptures in his mind made Emperor Jiuyan hesitate.

Those Buddhist scriptures seemed to possess boundless magic, compelling Emperor Jiuyan to recall and contemplate them.

Contemplating its mysteries and exploring its scriptures, what is even more surprising is that the previously slow progress in cultivation seems to have opened up a new path.

Unable to resist circulating it little by little, transforming the divine power within his body into Buddhist power, the progress in his cultivation was unimaginable.

Emperor Jiuyan scanned his cultivation level and the changes in his divine court again and again.

He could feel that his soul was not affected in any way, his spirit was not polluted, his will remained firm, and his cultivation was constantly improving.

Most importantly, the newly created power, known as the power of Buddha, has almost doubled its ability to suppress the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

It's not just the Nine Nether Demon Emperor; it seems that this so-called Buddhism has an extremely strong suppressive effect on all evil spirits.

The more he comprehended and cultivated, the more Emperor Jiuyan realized that Buddhism was far more terrifying than he had imagined, and was not the ordinary religion he had thought it to be!

At least, he had studied the teachings of the Confucian school, but in terms of profundity and mystery, it was far inferior to the true scriptures of Buddhism.

However, recalling the scene of the battle that day, the performance of his son, the Spirit King, the Golden Lion, and the calm and compassionate appearance of the converted gods, all made Emperor Jiuyan feel uneasy.

Otherwise, Emperor Jiuyan would not have hesitated until today, and would have long ago carefully studied and thoroughly converted to Buddhism, immersing himself in its profound teachings.

Even so, Emperor Jiuyan couldn't help but comprehend it, and even had a thought in his mind that if he converted half of the Buddhist power in his body, it might be enough to completely suppress Emperor Jiuyou.

By devouring half of the origin and the Emperor's position of the Origin Pearl of the Ninth Realm, if all resources are mobilized, it would be enough to push several avatars to the Ninth Realm at the same time. After all laws are unified, one can break into the realm of the Main God.

At that time, whether one confronts any major sect, leaves directly for the Central Region to become a disciple of the Human Emperor, or joins another major sect, the path ahead will be clear.

My mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts, and the scales are constantly tipping. The constant thumping signifies a sense of unease and a gradual decline in balance.

As a result, the Buddhist light emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger, engulfing a large area of ​​space. The position occupied by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was constantly compressed, becoming smaller and smaller.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor, who bore a striking resemblance to the Nine Flame Emperor, had a ferocious and terrifying expression on his face. As he watched the Nine Flame Emperor's Buddhist light grow ever stronger, his smile became increasingly unrestrained.

入魔

He's possessed.

Am I the demon, or is he the demon?

Licking his scarlet lips, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor watched as the Buddha-nature within the Nine Flame Emperor grew stronger, seemingly watching him fall step by step into the demonic path, and even felt a little excited.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor had a vague feeling that the opportunity to break the seal was about to arrive.

The two are born from one, or rather, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor is the embodiment of all evil and sin of the other party. How could he not know the thoughts of the Nine Flame Emperor?

But instead of stopping him, he became even more eager and began to continuously reclaim the demonic domain that had occupied the Divine Court.

This adds another chip to the scales that are swaying in the heart of Emperor Jiuyan...

Within the city, two figures walked slowly forward. One had a full head of white hair and exuded a gentle aura, like a kind old man.

The person behind him, dressed as a child, followed closely behind the teacher, his eyes scanning the city with undisguised contempt.

"Teacher, this place is desolate and quiet, with a population of only a few hundred thousand. It should be considered one of the most barbaric places!"

The old man chuckled softly and said, "You little rascal, you want to go back, don't you?"

Although this place is desolate and sparsely populated, it cannot be considered a true wilderness. It is still shrouded in the aura of the Human Emperor and suppressed by the aura of the Human Race. At most, it can be considered somewhat remote; it hardly qualifies as a true wilderness!

The young Taoist's face immediately showed a look of utter despair, and he sighed helplessly: "Teacher, then where is the world's border you mentioned, the true wilderness?"

The old man laughed and said, "A mere thousand years, and you think you can reach the world's borders? Your cultivation is not high, and your wishful thinking is just wishful thinking!"

"Ha~" The young Daoist said with a bitter expression, "With the guidance of my teacher, I have only cultivated for a thousand years, yet I have already reached the realm of Emperor. The Emperor of this kingdom may not be my match!"
