Chapter 647: Chapter 53: Don’t Do This, I’m Begging You

Sumeru Celestial Venerate appeared with a Bodhi Tree in hand, and vaguely a Buddha emerged from beneath the tree, one finger pointing to the sky, one to the earth, reciting the True Scripture, proclaiming "I Alone Am Supreme".

Peacock Great Saint instantly retreated violently. Faced with the onslaught of two Celestial Venerates, even he had to step back despite his might.

Sumeru Celestial Venerate grew even more forceful, her body radiating Buddha Light, with the Bodhi Tree in her hand crushing down the ages, continuously approaching, suppressing with an immense amount of Buddha Light.

At the same time, Jade Void Celestial Venerate wielded a dazzling golden bell, shattering the skies, striking with Jade Void Immortal Light to obliterate the endless void, directly targeting the enemy.

The situation instantly reached the most critical moment. No one expected Sumeru Celestial Venerate to strike at the crucial moment.

The two Celestial Venerates launched thunderous attacks in unison, aiming to swiftly eliminate Peacock Great Saint.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Under immense pressure, as the two Celestial Venerates’ attacks surged forth, Peacock Great Saint’s entire being glowed, and the Five-Colored Divine Light behind him turned nearly translucent, shooting immortal rays, emitting undying brilliance.

"So that’s it, Jade Void old man, no wonder you dare oppose me. Turns out you’ve teamed up with that androgynous bald donkey."

Peacock Great Saint’s eyes shot out cold beams, emitting a long howl, as the Five-Colored Divine Light gleamed brilliantly, charging forward to block the enemy.

However, as the Jade Void Golden Bell and the Bodhi Tree pressed down, the Celestial Venerates joined forces, breaking through some boundary with music, their aura intensifying by countless times, pushing forward to suppress everything.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Peacock Great Saint’s Five-Colored Holy Light was directly severed, turning to dust, his face extremely grim, as the Five-Colored Divine Light was both a Divine Technique and a Magical Treasure.

It was his innate spiritual treasure forged from his own feathers at the creation of the world, the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light.

Yet it was shattered despite the indestructible origin, suffering an extremely terrifying blow.

Peacock Great Saint could only hastily retract the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, riding the Escape Light to flee towards the Great Sage Continent.

"You two deserve to die. Today’s enmity, I will repay someday."

"Someday? You have no someday."

Sumeru Celestial Venerate pursued relentlessly, with Buddha Light forming a great road, traversing the void at high speed, and the Bodhi Tree in her hand emitting wondrous light, sweeping towards Peacock Great Saint.

Pfft!

Peacock Great Saint was directly knocked out from the Escape Light, his golden crown broken, black hair disheveled, appearing somewhat battered.

His crimson robe billowed fiercely in the wind, his eyes exceedingly cold, "Non-Birth, do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

A fierce expression flashed across his face, and the Five-Colored Divine Light opened a portal, through which he stepped instantly to another dimension.

Rumble!

Beyond the portal lay an endless Netherworld, with evil spirits roaming, the waters of the Yellow Springs vast, and the dark Yin Mountains deep and oppressive.

"Netherworld?"

"How can Peacock Great Saint enter the Netherworld directly?"

Many exclaimed, and the faces of numerous Great Divine Ability Users witnessing the event showed unusual expressions.

For as Peacock Great Saint entered the Netherworld, a towering figure appeared beside him, with gray-white hair, emanating a terrifying aura, like a Demon God who could devour mountains and rivers.

"Who is this person?" Lu Chengfeng’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked the Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord with a serious expression.

This person’s body seemed cast in bronze, glimmering with a metallic sheen, even his eyes were azure-gold, his aura like an Abyss Sea, unfathomable, with indifferent and ruthless eyes fixed on Jade Void and Sumeru Celestial Venerates.

"So you have indeed allied with the Netherworld. A demon is always a demon, never changing their inherently greedy and sinister nature." Sumeru Celestial Venerate spoke coldly, attacking without hesitation.

With the Bodhi Tree shielding her, a White Lotus appeared at her feet, as she boldly charged into the depths of the Netherworld.

Strong, domineering, confident.

Jade Void Celestial Venerate hesitated slightly but followed.

A sound like thunder rang out, and in that region Yin and Yang clashed, the aura terrifyingly immense, with ripples blooming like tempestuous waves. Any Immortals, Buddhas, Demons, or Monsters too close were turned to pulp, blood mist dispersing.

The two Celestial Venerates charged into the Netherworld, leaving everything out of sight, only the endless Immortal Light and Buddha Light swirling, destructive ripples stirring, a testament to the events that just transpired.

Yet everyone’s hearts remained unsettled. With three Celestial Venerates, the Netherworld Yama, and numerous Divine Venerates, the situation in the Three Realms grew increasingly chaotic, and no one could remain unaffected.

...

"Madam, do your words still hold true?"

Lu Chengfeng shook himself free from the great battle’s aftermath, gazing at the woman across from him with her watery large eyes, luscious red lips, and soft, charming words. Even he, claiming to be accustomed to beauties, found it hard to bear.

"Ah, Venerate, you truly are impressive... deducing so accurately." Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord said, snapping back to reality under Lu Chengfeng’s intense gaze, expressing some awe.

Her tone carried a touch of surprise and curiosity, like a maiden’s admiring whispers for a hero, or like springtime willow catkins stirring one’s heart, tickling it.

Lu Chengfeng flicked his sleeves open, standing up, taking two steps to reach the woman, so close they could sense each other’s breath.

"What Venerate? From now on you should call me husband, or perhaps Lu, or husband dear."

"Understand, Madam Lu?"

Vermilion Bird Taoist Lord shot Lu Chengfeng a glance, her eyes like water, as if blaming him for being too close, or perhaps feigning coyness, full of charm, making it hard to discern the meaning.

"Lu, my mundane name is Su Hongxiu..."

As she spoke, she gently twisted her body, trying to subtly avoid the man, as they were indeed too close, especially the fire in his eyes made her heart pound, her legs somewhat weak.

"Only my family knew this name, but they’re all gone now. In today’s Three Realms, only you know this name."

Su Hongxiu’s beautiful eyes sparkled, radiant, looking at the man with an indescribable allure.

Lu Chengfeng smiled, stepping closer to the woman, gazing at the fair beauty up close, saying, "Hong Xiu, my dear wife, you are my woman, why shy away from your husband?"

"You... isn’t this too fast... can’t you give me some time?" Su Hongxiu brushed aside the hair falling on her temples, slightly blaming the man’s roughness and lack of romantic understanding.

"Haha..."

Lu Chengfeng laughed heartily, extending his hand to embrace her tightly, her soft warmth filling his hold, a delicate fragrance permeating his heart’s core.

"We are celestial immortals, seekers of the Great Tao unbound by worldly matters."

"To love and hate boldly and follow the heart, this is our way."

Su Hongxiu struggled slightly, unable to break free, giving the man a fierce glare, but it was like teasing, full of charm, leaving one unsure of her true feelings.

"Lu, my name is Su Hongxiu..."

She managed with a soft voice, brushing aside her free-falling locks, a touch of charming protest against the man’s blunt advances.

"Haha... you’re not wrong." Lu Chengfeng gently lifted her into his arms, carrying her to the chamber in the palace, saying, "With a beauty like you in my arms, the feast of beauty is irresistible, and I’ve long been eager to savor it."

"You..."

Seeing Lu Chengfeng really carry her to the bed, Su Hongxiu’s pretty face changed color. She truly hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, intending to wait until they knew each other better and their feelings deepened, till it was only natural.

Lu Chengfeng’s pupils showed a mixture of clarity and turbidity, divine power surging through him to hold her from struggling, saying, "A spring night once, a lover’s intention and mistress’s affection, what an elegant affair, Madam, no need to refuse."

"Lu Chengfeng, isn’t this a bit too hasty... can’t you give me some time?" Su Hongxiu raised a hand to smooth her stray locks, slightly blaming the man’s impulsiveness and lack of sensitivity.

"Haha..."
