Chapter 646: Chapter 53: Don’t Do This, I’m Begging You

The depths of the sea, Cyan Nether Palace.

Though it was a palace, it contained worlds within, with layered pavilions and winding corridors encircling the courtyard, carved railings and vermilion windows. It was obviously deep underwater, yet celestial light shone down, bathed in vibrant hues.

Lu Chengfeng and the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord sat in the hall, beside them an incense burner emitted a delicate fragrance.

Lu Chengfeng appeared no older than fifteen or sixteen years old, draped in a golden robe, with handsome features and eyes that seemed to encompass the birth and destruction of worlds, adding an inexplicable touch of mystique and allure.

He observed the woman opposite with a playful gaze, the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord was a rare beauty among the Immortals in the Central Capital, with a red silk band on her forehead, a slender waist as fragile as wind, and a figure as enticing as ripe cherries, making her irresistible.

He deliberately looked her up and down, his gaze intense, and smiled, "If I guess correctly, then you shall be my wife, you cannot go back on your word, okay?"

The Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord’s flawless jade face flushed with a tinge of red, her long eyelashes fluttering, said in a crisp voice, "I always mean what I say and won’t go back on my word."

In her heart, she had thousands of thoughts. If this person could truly predict a Celestial Venerate level overlord with the Power of Time, then he would already stand in an unassailable position amid the turbulent situation of the Three Realms.

If the two of them could achieve something together, it would mean having some support.

Especially since this man had an extraordinary demeanor, without the tyranny and arrogance of those Divine Spirits. Even someone like Emperor Huangtian, who seemed gentle and urbane, had an unspeakable dominance in his bones.

She thought chaotically in her heart and was already a bit tempted.

The situation in the Three Realms was changing too quickly. She, severely wounded, had fallen into the Cyan Nether Palace, and was nothing but fish on someone else’s chopping block.

"If this man truly resorts to force, unless I choose mutual destruction, what room for refusal do I have?"

Thinking of this, the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord seemed to find a step down and an excuse in her heart, and settled down at once.

"This battle’s outcome is certain." Lu Chengfeng said calmly, casually taking out a piece of jade and imprinting the resolution he deduced within it, sealing it with a Secret Technique.

At the Celestial Venerate Realm, equivalent to an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, casually speaking the battle’s outcome might attract the attention of those two, causing unnecessary trouble.

So, he used Divine Techniques to imprint his deduction.

"My lady, you can naturally know the truth by sensing it with your mind." Lu Chengfeng gazed at the woman’s porcelain-like skin and the indistinct curves, feeling somewhat impatient.

The Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord reached out to accept the jade but deliberately brushed her fingertips against Lu Chengfeng’s, a tingling warmth surged through her, making her involuntarily tighten her legs, glancing at the man with wide eyes, "What a lecherous scoundrel."

Lu Chengfeng smiled broadly, deliberately leaning forward, clearly seeing the woman’s exquisite collarbone, smelling the faint musk around her.

"In another quarter of an hour, this great battle will conclude, and by then, you will be my rightful wife."

"I enjoy admiring my own wife; isn’t that only natural?"

The Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord could naturally feel the confidence in the man’s words. She sensed with her mind and saw the jade’s contents clearly written, "Sumeru Celestial Venerate appears, joins forces with Purple Mansion Jade Void Celestial Venerate, repels the Peacock Great Saint."

"The Peacock retreats to the Netherworld, with the two chasing in vain."

"Buddhist Path converges, dividing the human world, expelling demons."

She couldn’t help but raise her brows slightly. This information was very clear and comprehensive, not the ambiguous prophecy type. If it were true, this man’s attainment in the Path of Time would be truly extraordinary.

But in that case, she would really have to commit to this man.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether she hoped it was true or false...

A cup of tea time passed in an instant.

The battle between the Peacock Great Saint and the Jade Void Celestial Venerate had reached a fever pitch, with both sides tearing up all pretenses, not hesitating to use their respective worlds, defeating Heavenly Path Authority, causing heaven and earth to collapse.

Yet at this moment, golden Buddha Light descended from the sky like a waterfall, with bursts of chanting echoing, seeming like three thousand Buddhas reciting scriptures, deafening and awe-inspiring.

A Buddha arrived from the west, Buddhist Dharma boundless, majestically overwhelming past and present, everyone who witnessed this Buddha felt a chill from their very core.

Undeniably, this was an invincible overlord, naturally radiating an aura that made Great Divine Ability Users tremble, their every gesture in harmony with the Dao, coexisting and resonating with this realm.

Lu Chengfeng and the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord simultaneously focused their gaze on this figure.

This Buddha had a tall stature, wearing a Sun and Moon Crown, with gauze veiling the hair, a necklace of precious stones around the neck, subtly emanating chanting sounds, resplendent and imposing as well as sacred.

"Sumeru Celestial Venerate is actually a woman?" Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but be a bit surprised, for this Celestial Venerate boasted a slender figure cladded in white, beautiful and noble, yet possessing great authority.

The Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord appeared solemn, "You are mistaken, Sumeru Celestial Venerate’s true nature is empty, neither male nor female, though appearing as a woman, not truly of female form."

"In the distant past, some called her the White Lotus Saint Mother, others referred to her as the Mother of Non-Birth."

"Her Dao Cultivation is terrifying, reaching enlightenment before the Peacock Great Saint and Jade Void Celestial Venerate, seemingly overshadowing those two Venerates by a notch."

"Her Tao Cultivation is world-shattering, especially now with the Empress fallen, Sumeru Celestial Venerate possesses an invincible momentum, almost reaching an Emperor’s level, surpassing all Immortals and Buddhas in the world."

Lu Chengfeng’s eyes slightly narrowed. It was his first time seeing the Sumeru Celestial Venerate, but indeed very different, possessing an air of supremacy unmatched between heaven and earth.
