153: Chapter 153 Demon Blood Awakens the Azure Emperor Scripture, Eternal Azure Lotus Illuminates the Heavens

"Ah!"

Little Tathagata Yuan Ding let out a hysterical roar, and the pitch-black sharp claw that had pierced into his lower abdomen suddenly twisted!

Accompanied by a bone-chilling sound of bone and flesh shattering.

He had actually forcibly taken the "Divine Bridge" inside his body, which had been Cultivated to the Peak and was shimmering with ninety-nine golden lights of Buddhist Karma,

And crushed it with his bare hands into golden powder filling the sky!

Not only that, he also directly shattered the "Mahayana Sarira" at his heart, which represented the supreme fruit of Buddhism!

With the collapse of the Divine Bridge and the Sarira, the holy Buddhist light on Little Tathagata's body instantly dissipated.

Replacing it was a pure Demonic Qi that had been suppressed for hundreds of years, extremely terrifying, and capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth!

"Rumble!"

His already robust Physical Body began to swell violently, and pieces of indestructible black-gold scales pierced out from under his skin.

His hands completely transformed into beast claws capable of tearing apart the Void Realm, and the single horn atop his head ignited with black demonic fire!

The half-human, half-beast form displayed the fierce Aura of the Divine Beast Xiezhi to the fullest.

"Thump!"

Transformed into a half-Yao form and covered in blood, Little Tathagata knelt heavily before Ye Xiu.

Every time his knees hit the ground, they smashed the hard white jade floor tiles into pieces.

"Yuan Ding has shattered the old Dao! I implore the Demon Lord to show mercy and bestow upon me the Shrouding the Heavens Method!"

"From this day forward, there is no more Little Tathagata in this world, only a madman of the Yao Dao under the Demon Lord's seat who kills heavens and slays Buddhas!"

Watching this great Yao before him, who was even more ruthless to himself than to his enemies, the look of appreciation in Ye Xiu's eyes grew even stronger.

"What a gutsy Xiezhi!

Since you dare to abandon everything, I will grant you a great fortune that transcends all the gods and Buddhas of the heavens!"

Ye Xiu strode out, his figure appearing before Little Tathagata as if teleporting.

Ignoring the violent Demonic Qi, he pressed his right hand directly onto Little Tathagata's scale-covered head.

"Great Leiyin Temple disdains your Yao blood? I insist on using your Yao blood to carve out the first Shrouding the Heavens Bitter Sea belonging to the Yao Race in this world of the Shepherd God!"

"Pure Yang True Fire, burn for me!"

Ye Xiu had just prepared to mobilize the Pure Yang True Fire and Taiyi Vitality within his body to forcibly open up a Bitter Sea for him.

Suddenly, an extremely long-lost, cold, and mechanical voice exploded in Ye Xiu's mind without warning!

[Ding! Detected that the Host is preaching to a creature possessing a top-grade ancient Yao Race Bloodline!]

[Ding! Triggered hidden bond—'Yao Emperor Legacy'!]

[System detected that the Shrouding the Heavens Method the Host is Cultivating contains the Origin essence of the only Yao Emperor to attain the Dao in the post-Desolate Ancient Era—the Azure Emperor!]

[Do you wish to extract the core Profound Truth of the "Azure Emperor Scripture" and enable the associated phenomenon "Chaos Planting the Azure Lotus" to tailor-make a Yao Race Bitter Sea for him?!]

Ye Xiu's palm paused abruptly, his different-colored gold and silver eyes widened instantly, and a look of extreme fanaticism erupted from the depths of his pupils.

System?!

Ever since he started with max-level legendary equipment and ultimate techniques, this crappy System had been playing dead.

Who would have thought that today, on this great Yao Xiezhi, it would actually trigger a hidden Bloodline bond!

What made Ye Xiu's heart race even more was that the System was actually extracting—the "Azure Emperor Scripture"!

Who was that?

That was the generation of Yao Emperor in the "Shrouding the Heavens" world who was the only one to Heaven-Defyingly attain the Dao and suppress the ages over the last hundred thousand years of the post-Desolate Ancient Era!

His method was the supreme ancient Emperor scripture most suitable for the Yao Race to Cultivate!

A Bitter Sea burned out with Pure Yang True Fire, while strong, could not compare to the supreme Yao Race Legacy of the "Azure Emperor Scripture"!

"I've smashed Little Jade Capital and cursed the false gods these past few months, I never expected the ultimate move to be behind this!"

Ye Xiu laughed wildly in his heart: "Exchange it for me! Extract the 'Azure Emperor Scripture'! Today, I will create a true Yao Race Emperor in this world of the Shepherd God!"

[Ding! Exchange successful! Core Profound Truth of the "Azure Emperor Scripture" extracted!]

Accompanied by the falling of the System prompt.

The right hand Ye Xiu had pressed on top of Little Tathagata's head suddenly underwent a strange change!

The originally violent and scorching Pure Yang True Fire instantly retracted.

Replacing it was a cyan immortal light, extremely ancient, extremely vast, as if it had spanned the long river of ancient time!

The cyan light was not dazzling; it even exuded a gentleness of all things reviving.

But the moment this cyan light appeared, the space of the entire Little Jade Capital, and even the Law of the entire The Great Ruins world, trembled violently!

As if an unimaginably terrifying existence was slowly awakening within this cyan light!

"This... what is this Aura?!"

Standing not far away, the Grand Elder of Taixu and the State Preceptor of Yankang felt their knees go weak the instant the cyan light appeared.

They knelt down with a "thump"!

This was completely beyond their control; it was an instinctive trembling that originated from the depths of their Soul, facing an absolute superior!

"Guard your heart and mind, hold steady!"

Ye Xiu shouted, and that cyan immortal light containing the core Profound Truth of the "Azure Emperor Scripture" was like the water of a breached heavenly river.

Following Ye Xiu's palm, it poured frantically into Little Tathagata's shattered Dantian!

"Roar!!!"

Little Tathagata let out a roar that was extremely painful yet extremely excited.

The shattered Divine Bridge debris and Sarira powder inside his body, under the scouring of this cyan immortal light,

Instantly transformed into extremely pure energy, perfectly merging with his violent Xiezhi Yao blood!

"Swish..."

Inside Little Tathagata's body, a terrifying loud sound like crashing waves came out.

Under the tyrannical reshaping of the "Azure Emperor Scripture", deep within his Dantian, there was no dead, silent black light like that of the Taixu Elder.

Nor did the black-gold Devilish Qi that Little Tathagata had originally expected appear.

Instead, it was a—Bitter Sea of pure, emerald cyan to the extreme!

The Bitter Sea was like a huge piece of jade, exuding endless life essence and ancient Yao power.

Before this cyan Bitter Sea, the originally violent Xiezhi Demonic Qi inside Little Tathagata's body

Was actually smoothed out and assimilated extremely docilely, transforming into a Yao Dao Origin of a higher dimension!

"Spring of Life, open!"

Ye Xiu shouted again.

"Bang!"

A crystal-clear cyan Spring of Life erupted from the center of the emerald Bitter Sea, shooting straight up to the Nine Heavens!

Just at the moment the Spring of Life erupted!

"Hum!!!"

The sky of the entire Major Thousand Worlds suddenly darkened.

It was not dark clouds blocking the sun, but a force of a higher dimension directly obscuring the Law of this world!

Immediately after, above Little Tathagata's head, in the ten-thousand-mile firmament of Little Jade Capital, appeared a scene of an extreme phenomenon that everyone present would never forget in their lifetime!

A vast, boundless, grayish-misty Chaos Void manifested on the horizon.

In the center of that Chaos, a huge azure lotus, its entire body flowing with Dao runes and exuding an Aura that suppressed the ages,

Was slowly swaying its three lotus leaves that seemed capable of holding up the Major Thousand Worlds.

The supreme Yao Race phenomenon of Shrouding the Heavens—[Chaos Planting the Azure Lotus]!

"That... what is that?!"

On the Luoyan Plain, the coalition army of three hundred thousand righteous sects looked at the chaotic azure lotus in the sky that covered the sun and sky.

Everyone was so scared that their weapons dropped, and they were terrified out of their wits.

The false gods they worshipped were simply not even as good as a speck of dust before this azure lotus!

And even more terrifying things were yet to come.

With the appearance of that chaotic azure lotus.

Beneath that azure lotus, within the endless chaotic mist,

An invincible figure, extremely majestic, extremely lonely, yet exuding an Aura that made all the worlds of the heavens bow in submission, slowly emerged!

That figure just stood there quietly, without turning back, without moving.

But the moment he appeared, all the Yao Beasts in The Great Ruins.

Whether they were ordinary birds and beasts, or ancient great Yao hidden in the abyss, all prostrated on the ground at the same moment.

Letting out extremely shrill, extremely pious cries towards the direction of Little Jade Capital!

Ten thousand Yao bowing in worship!

That was the only one to attain the Dao in the post-Desolate Ancient Era, the phantom of the generation of Yao Emperor who suppressed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—the Azure Emperor!

"A single lotus in the eternal azure sky..."

A sigh, extremely ancient, as if spanning the long river of time and space,

Came from the mouth of that majestic phantom, echoing over the entire Major Thousand Worlds.

"Crack! Crack!"

Just this one sigh, the so-called "Heavenly Punishment Formation" hidden above the Nine Heavens and set up by the false gods of the heavens.

Actually shattered inch by inch like fragile glass!

Those false gods hiding behind the clouds peeping, didn't even have time to scream.

Before they were directly shaken to the destruction of their Divine Soul by this escaping supreme Emperor might!

The Azure Emperor's phantom, ignoring the Law, looked down proudly upon the Nine Heavens!

The Heavenly Dao of The Great Ruins, at this moment, was completely trampled underfoot!

"Disciple Yuan Ding! Kowtow in thanks to the Demon Lord for bestowing the supreme Yao Emperor true method!"

Little Tathagata opened his eyes suddenly. In his eyes, the swaying chaotic azure lotus was reflected.

His originally extremely powerful half-Yao Physical Body, under the baptism of the "Azure Emperor Scripture",

Directly condensed a "Azure Lotus Emperor Bone" that could be called perfect and impervious to all Laws!

He stood up, and the black-gold single horn on his head had now turned an emerald cyan color flowing with Dao runes.

The Aura on his body was no longer purely violent, but a Yao Venerable dignity originating from the depths of his Bloodline, high and aloof!

Ye Xiu looked at the slowly dissipating Azure Emperor phantom in the sky, then glanced at the reborn Little Tathagata, the arrogance at the corners of his mouth almost overflowing to the sky.

"Good! What a Chaos Planting the Azure Lotus!"
