Chapter 1040 - 954: Attaining Sainthood and Proving the Tao
The young man carried a wooden box out of the house and placed it in the courtyard.
The young woman’s face changed, and she immediately rushed forward to embrace the box, exclaiming in alarm, "Are you crazy? Are you going to offer all our wealth to the Gods?"
The young man sternly replied, "What do you understand? Now, Emperor Gouchen has returned from the front line seeking our help, which shows that the situation at the front is dire. Our world could be destroyed at any moment.
The world is about to be invaded, the Outer Realm Evil Gods are descending, and we are all going to die. What use is this wealth to us? The Immortal Gods of our world sacrifice their lives, do we still care about this wealth?"
Bowed respectfully and shouted loudly, "Believer Gao Lelou is willing to offer all his wealth to aid the Emperor in proving the Tao."
Bang bang bang~ coins of yellow and silver burst through the box and shot into the sky.
Outside the doors of the imperial palace, the King of the Song Dynasty stood solemnly, saying, "Scholar Yi~"
A middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, bowing respectfully, "At your service~"
"Convey my order, open the national treasury, and offer all the wealth to Emperor Gouchen."
Dragon Pavilion Scholar Yi Qin suddenly looked up, exclaiming in alarm, "Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty, the Great Song is in peril~"
"Do as I say~"
"Your Majesty, reconsider!"
"I know what I’m doing. When the nest is overturned, how can there be any intact eggs? Now is the time for the world to survive or perish, what is a mere Great Song in comparison? Go and do it!"
The scholar hesitated for a moment, then deeply bowed, saying respectfully, "I obey~"
In the Demon Palace of the Northern Continent, a red-haired young man stepped out, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Open the treasure vault, all wealth to be offered to Emperor Gouchen!"
From each household to sects and clans, even nations and tribes, the Primordial Beings now displayed an unparalleled unity. Those Immortal Gods and demons rushing to the front line were sacrificing their lives to protect the Primordial World; compared to them, offering wealth was nothing, just going back to barter.
Throughout the Primordial Three Realms, countless wealth soared up, just like a torrential rain converging towards the Heavenly Court, raising a mighty force that expanded across the Three Realms.
...
Within the Chaos, a great battle ensued before the thirty-three Emperor Passes.
Boom~ Great Master Xuan Du was flung backward, stepping continuously within the Chaos, creating explosive sounds.
Three Divine Kings rushed towards Great Master Xuan Du.
The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian flashed before Great Master Xuan Du, shouting, "In the name of the Heavenly Emperor, suppress!"
Aow~ Roar~ Nine Divine Dragons roared out, charging toward the three Divine Kings, transforming within the Chaos into a gigantic Nine Dragon Seal, pressing down on the three Divine Kings.
Boom~ The Divine Light exploded, and the three Divine Kings were instantly suppressed and flew off by the seal.
Great Master Xuan Du sighed in relief, quickly clasping his fists and bowing, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian nodded slightly, then immediately strode toward the distance.
Bang~
The Buddha Tathagata was flung back, crashing onto an Emperor Pass, immediately causing rubble to scatter, and a rumbling shock.
The Buddha Tathagata got up, anxiously shouted, "Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian, where has Bai Jin gone?"
The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian fought with several Divine Kings, each punch burst with Divine Light, all avenues resonating, said with dignity, "Emperor Gouchen returned to the Primordial World to do what he must do?"
The voice of the Kunpeng Demon Master echoed grandly, "Hao Tian, what could be more important than repelling the external enemies?"
Wudang Saint also looked towards the Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian.
Boom~ The Earth Book of Immortal Zhenyuan was flipped up, and with a wave, he opened up a space, gathering all the violent forces into it, extinguishing them with a wave, looking solemnly at the nearby four powerful Divine Kings, shouted, "Bai Jin has returned to the Primordial World to prove the Tao."
The Buddha Tathagata exclaimed in shock, "Prove the Tao?"
Wudang Saint also exclaimed, "Bai Jin proving the Tao?"
The Kunpeng Demon Master shouted, "How could Bai Jin prove the Tao? How long has he been the strongest?"
Ming He Sect Master exclaimed, "Has Bai Jin obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
Immortal Zhenyuan remained silent, dealing with his opponent with all his might.
The battle almost threatened to destroy the Chaos Domain. With the passage of time, the Gods of the Primordial World were falling into an absolute disadvantage. Even powerful beings like Kong Xuan, Bai Ze, and Mile were all injured one after another, but had no chance to heal, dragging their heavy wounds, battling against the Outer Realm Gods.
One Big Array after another broke, the thirty-three Emperor Passes were precariously close to collapse, and even the Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian and others could not hold them back any longer.
Boom~
Before the Pingyu Emperor Pass, a gigantic giant collapsed, and all around him powerful Witch Clan members like Wind Uncle and Rain Master Chi You crashed onto the Emperor Pass, all severely wounded.
Great Witch Xingtian was still waving his Gan Qi up front, his headless massive body exuding a violent aura, causing a torrential blood rain wherever he went.
"I really admire your world, to withstand the siege of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds for so long. I admire you so much, I intend to bury you all in this city to show my respect for you."
A Divinity exuding the might of the strongest descended, adorned in tattered white bone armor, holding a half-broken bone knife. Even upon reaching the Pingyu Emperor Pass, he was not in good condition.
Upon the Emperor Pass, Chi You struggled to stand, holding the Tiger Essence Saber, his fighting spirit soaring, ignoring his status as the strongest.
Wind Uncle and Rain Master also stood to fight, standing beside Chi You, courageously facing death.
Chi You wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring as he shouted, "As long as we still breathe, the Emperor Pass will never fall."
"Then you shall die!"
The strongest Divine Being stomped down toward Pingyu Emperor Pass, the gigantic footprint descending, larger than the Pingyu Emperor Pass itself.
"Kill~" Chi You, Wind Uncle, and Rain Master simultaneously charged at the massive foot above.
Dong~ As soon as the three Great Witches touched the massive foot, they were instantly sent flying back, crashing down at a faster speed, boom~ the Emperor Pass echoed with a thundering sound.
Buzz~ Suddenly, huge Golden Lotuses grew upon Pingyu Emperor Pass, each blossoming with auspicious aura, forming auspicious clouds shrouding Pingyu Emperor Pass.
The gigantic Divine Being stomped on the auspicious clouds, bang~ a resounding explosion, the massive footprint vanished.
Before Pingyu Emperor Pass, that bone-armored Divine Being screamed, stumbling back, now missing a leg, having the foot along with the thigh completely shattered.
Chi You struggled to rise, somewhat stunned, looking at the Golden Lotuses beside him, asking in confusion, "What is this? A hidden measure left by the Emperor Pass?"
Wind Uncle quickly looked towards the nearby Emperor Pass, which was also shrouded in a layer of auspicious clouds. At this moment, all the Emperor Passes were adorned with lotus flowers and shrouded in auspicious clouds.
Rolling Purple Qi spread over from the Primordial World, enveloping the entire Primordial Domain, with golden flowers falling from the Purple Qi. Every Primordial Divine Being touched by the golden flowers was suddenly invigorated, their killing intent washed clean, exhaustion vanished, and mana surged.
Wind Uncle reached out to catch a golden flower, exclaimed incredulously, "Flowers falling wildly from the sky, Earth erupting Golden Lotuses, the Purple Qi coming from the east, blessing all beings, this is the phenomenon of a Saint, someone in the Primordial World has become a Saint."
