Chapter 599: Chapter 598: They Dare to Challenge the Saint? Chong’en Descends! [Third Update]

"But do you think that having some home-field advantage means you can stop a chariot with your arm or shake a tree as a small insect?"

"How utterly laughable."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en really didn’t expect that over the years, the other side was truly preparing for a battle against him?

This made him find it both laughable and infuriating.

The laughable part, naturally, was thinking they were too naive, believing that being outside the Grand Thousand Immortal Realm could allow them to contend with a Saint.

And the infuriating part,

was also because of this.

A group of ants, daring to have the audacity and confidence to challenge him in battle?

"Are they underestimating the Saints, or are they underestimating me?"

Venerable Emperor Chong’en whispered, his eyelids gradually filling with murderous intent, as he took a step forward, disappearing into the Outer Heaven Universe.

Upon reappearing,

his true form was already manifesting in the Immortal Realm.

The supreme might of a Saint instantly swept across the Grand Thousand Worlds, the terrifying aura causing all extreme sacred weapons to emit warnings.

The common populace, terrified and trembling, knelt down to worship!

The appearance of a Saint shook the world.

Powerful figures from all sides cast their eyes upon this place.

And from the nearby Daoist Celestial Court, needless to say,

Sun Wukong and other Quasi-Saints all wore extremely solemn expressions, watching over the Saint’s figure intently.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en paid them no heed; his expression was indifferent as he walked straight towards the Black and White Double Cave.

"The Black and White Double Cave leads to another space."

"That is the mysterious space where Yang Jian resides, yet why has he not closed the passage, allowing the Saint Chong’en to advance?"

"Moreover, the Taixu Celestial Venerable from the Daoist Celestial Court has also entered there. What does this mean? Aren’t they enemies with the Saint Chong’en?"

Many Quasi-Saints were discussing, their faces full of uncertainty and doubt.

"Wait a minute, could it be that they plan to confront Venerable Emperor Chong’en head-on?"

"Hiss..."

Some of the Quasi-Saints gasped in shock, frightened by their own speculation, finding it unbelievable.

Nevertheless, inside the Celestial Court, the expressions of Shen Gongbao, Sun Wukong, and others were exceedingly heavy.

Because only they knew, their own Daoist Lord truly intended to battle against a Saint!

This was something unbelievable, something that ordinary Quasi-Saints would not even dare to imagine!

Even,

even the Saint Tathagata from the Western Buddha Country and Confucius, the Confucian Saint from the Outer Heaven Universe, upon sensing the current situation, couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows.

The two Saints, separated by endless distance, glanced at each other.

In each of their eyes, a look of astonishment flashed by.

Clearly,

they too found the present situation unbelievable.

However, at this moment,

in the world of the Red-bottomed Macaque,

Lin Heng, Yang Jian, Ying Zheng, Wutian,

had already met.

"Taixu Celestial Venerable, long time no see." It was Wutian, his long hair cascading down like a waterfall, dressed in a black robe radiating with Demonic Qi, yet he showed a hint of an old acquaintance’s smile to Lin Heng. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Long time no see." Lin Heng nodded in response.

"Taixu Celestial Venerable, this time, you owe us a favor?" Ying Zheng spoke, by now his face still shrouded in mist, or more accurately, shrouded in corpse aura, giving him an eerie appearance.

Yet, his imposing figure and black dragon robe, combined with a dominating aura, granted him extraordinary majesty.

"Thank you, First Emperor of Great Qin, for coming." Lin Heng cupped his hand towards him.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Heng surveyed this world around them.

The Heaven-Barking Dog and Six Ears had long retreated, the sun, moon, and stars casting a faint glow over the Black Mountain and White Waters, adding a touch of desolation to this expansive battlefield.

Lin Heng glanced at Yang Jian, who remained as cold as an iceberg, and Lin Heng pondered before saying, "I have instructed the Celestial Court that, in the future, should you go there, they will acknowledge you as the Lord of Daoism."

Yang Jian remained expressionless: "After you and I have truly battled, I shall naturally go to lead Daoism."

Lin Heng chuckled: "Let us hope we have the chance for such a battle."

The group fell silent, their gaze fixed towards the distance.

There, a black and white intertwined passage was flowing with Chaos Qi.

A towering figure was projected from within, taking steps forward.

"It’s coming!"

The four squinted their eyes, and the atmosphere became tense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The footsteps grew more distinct.

Amidst the flickering Chaos Qi, the figure radiating overwhelming pressure finally set foot into this world under the watchful eyes of them all!

The aura of the Saint instantly engulfed this world.

Black Mountain shook, White Waters roiled.

The sun, moon, and stars flickered for it.

Until the black and white passage rapidly closed and vanished, only then did the Saint’s aura diminish considerably.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en wasn’t surprised by this.

This world is isolated from the Immortal Realm, though it can’t completely avoid the Celestial Dao Rules; more deeply, it contains the principles of the Red-bottomed Macaque.

Therefore, a Saint arriving here can mobilize far less Power of the Celestial Dao than outside.

But what of it?

A Saint is a Saint; even without utilizing the Celestial Dao Rules, he remains supreme!

Venerable Emperor Chong’en did not mind the closing of the passage; his expression was calm, walking leisurely, his gaze scanning this world, saying:

"I never knew where the Red-bottomed Macaque was hiding. Having become a Saint, I came to know about the evolution of heaven and earth."

"To think, the Red-bottomed Macaque mastered such rules early on. This world, so vast, I can’t imagine how much time and effort it took."

"To shatter it would be truly a pity."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en did not hold back his admiration for this world.

And within this world, the Red-bottomed Macaque’s response echoed.

"If that’s the case, I ask Venerable Emperor Chong’en to show some mercy."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Emperor Chong’en smiled indifferently, then turned his gaze towards the four not far away.

He did not look at Lin Heng and Yang Jian, instead focusing on Ying Zheng and Wutian.

"The Ancestral Dragon from Great Qin, the Saint’s Breath has already led him to the number of a hundred paths, truly surprising."

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, said calmly: "That you could attain sainthood is also a surprise to me."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s lips curved into a cold smile, but he said nothing more, turning his head to Wutian: "As expected of the Tathagata’s evil thought, having received Demon Ancestor Luo Hou’s legacy for merely a few decades, and already showing signs of a Demon God. In time, even the Tathagata might be troubled."

Wutian remained composed: "Thank you for the compliment."
