Chapter 642: Chapter 51: Path of Heaven-Burning, Suppressing the Taotie

The voice of Jade Void Celestial Venerate possesses an indescribable harmony with the Great Tao of Heaven and Earth, making every living being that hears it feel the vastness of his divine techniques, with an awe-inspiring majesty. To others, it is as if facing an abyss, as if standing at the gates of Hell, truly terrifying.

His naturally emanating aura makes the void tremble, his every gesture aligns with the Tao, coexisting with this world.

With a clang, the five divine lights behind Peacock Great Saint quiver lightly, emitting a resonant hum like a Divine Sword, pointing towards Jade Void Celestial Venerate, clearly indicating an unwavering readiness for a life-and-death struggle.

"Old Jade Void, enough with the nonsense. Everyone knows the key to the Human Realm. If you want to just pick the fruits so directly, you’d better ask if I agree first."

This Great Saint of the Demon Race sneers coldly, the divine light behind him clanging continuously, radiating an unparalleled murderous intent.

"Demonic fiends wreaking havoc upon the Human Realm deserve to be exterminated!" Jade Void Celestial Venerate speaks, the Jade Void Golden Bell releasing Immortal Light, covering the entire sky, directly enveloping the clouds, obscuring the sun and the moon, casting darkness and shattering the heavens, overwhelmingly invincible.

"Zheng!"

Peacock Great Saint strikes, the killing radiance shot by Five-Colored Divine Light behind him like tsunamis, wave after wave, directly hitting the Jade Void Golden Bell high in the sky.

"Humph!"

He snorts coldly, the Five-Colored Divine Light tattoo on his arm surges swiftly, soon transforming into armor, exuding a metallic sheen, clanging loudly.

In the next moment, he strides directly, the Five-Colored Divine Light behind him surging like a vast ocean, engulfing all directions.

He charges towards Jade Void Celestial Venerate, suppressing the sun and moon, shaking the Ninth Layer Heaven. Thus, the great battle suddenly erupts!

Clang! Clang!

Blinding divine lights continuously rise between the two Celestial Venerates, the sky shatters, and the void is split with one dark fissure after another, from which Chaos Qi gushes out, each strike between these two is world-destroying.

Jade Void Celestial Venerate, wielding the Golden Bell, battles Peacock Great Saint fiercely, plunging the sun and moon into darkness, the world losing its color, the two even rush into the outer void, causing one star after another to explode around them.

This terrifying scene is astonishing, causing one’s entire body to shiver with cold and tremble uncontrollably.

The collision of divine techniques is like thundering heavens; the battle erupts in full force.

Sumeru Celestial Venerate suppresses the Divine Realm, enlightening the myriad divine spirits.

Jade Void Celestial Venerate and Peacock Great Saint fiercely compete for dominance over the Human Realm, as the three Celestial Venerates, after the Empress’s disappearance over a hundred years ago, finally begin to assert their own majesty in the Three Realms.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengfeng, secluded within Cyan Nether Palace, suddenly shoots two dazzling divine lights from his pupils, "If Heaven does not take, it will receive punishment; it’s time for me to act."

He knows the terror and dreadfulness of the Celestial Venerates, hence he never wanted to directly expose himself in front of the three. But he also doesn’t want to delay any longer, especially with the Empress’s disappearance, none can ensure another top-tier Great Divine Ability User won’t emerge and establish a new Celestial Venerate.

Now that all three Celestial Venerates are being held in check, no one in the entire Three Realms can constrain his actions anymore.

So, Lu Chengfeng makes his move directly, the Bright Pearl at his brow spinning swiftly, the sealed aura of the Ancient Fierce Beast materializing into phantom images of four Fierce Beasts, continuously roaring and howling.

"Taowu is suppressed under Taihua Mountain. Now that Peacock Great Saint and Jade Void Celestial Venerate are contesting, it’s unwise to easily venture to the Human Realm; once exposed, those two old relics won’t be easy to deal with."

"Chaos is hidden within the Four Seas, but this Fierce Beast is the embodiment of the Path of Chaos; this Great Tao is too terrifying, Chaos endlessly nurtures worlds, yet buries them too."

"Chaos nurtures all things, yet also buries all things."

"Ultimately, the Three Realms’ final return to the void will also be to return to Chaos."

"Even the Great Emperor cannot traverse Chaos freely; this Great Tao is not something I can control now."

Lu Chengfeng never overestimated himself, thinking he could surpass all Celestial Venerates and Great Emperors of the past and present. How many ancient seekers tried to explore the mysteries of Chaos?

Even Emperor Wa, Tao Ancestor, and Buddha, despite employing various methods to purify the invading Chaos Qi in the Three Realms, were unable to truly resolve Chaos.

The Empress, proving the Tao with her physical body, possessed an unparalleled corporeal strength amongst the ancient and present Great Earth, but even after tempering her body for one hundred thousand years within Chaos, she did not manage to take the final step out.

"One day, I too will embark on the path to pursue the mysteries of Chaos, but not now."

"Qiongqi and Taotie, these two Fierce Beasts, one embodies the Path of Slaughter, the other the Path of Devouring."

"In such chaotic times, the power of these two Fierce Beasts will grow quickly; refining them into incarnations would undoubtedly enhance combat power significantly."

"It’s decided then!"

Lu Chengfeng makes up his mind and quickly transforms into a divine light, disappearing from Cyan Nether Palace.

When he appears again, he has already arrived at the Mist Swamp in the South, where the Ghost Door stands open, countless demon ghosts emerging from the Netherworld, devouring living beings, roaming the Human Realm, which has long become a land of death in the Human Realm.

Yet, recently, one of the Four Ancient Fierce Beasts, Taotie, descended here, this terrifying Fierce Beast devouring the lands of three continents on the Vermilion Bird Continent, swallowing the earth, the one hundred thousand southern volcanoes, and the boundless earth fire magma altogether, demonstrating an incomparably terrifying unparalleled ferocity.

However, these three continents, the hundred thousand volcanoes, and the earth fire magma, are not so easily digested and absorbed, thus this Ancient Fierce Beast came to the Miao Swamp to devour endless ghost and Yin Fiend Qi.

With the counterbalance of Yin and Yang, the harmony of water and fire, thereby bolstering its strength further.
