Jiuyou.
A world tree that blocks out the sun and covers the sky stands in the center of the Taoist temple founded by Ye Tianming. The tree is infinitely tall, and a single leaf of it can give rise to a vast universe. Its crown seems to cover the entire underworld.
Above the vast and boundless land of Jiuyou, countless world tree roots slowly spread over. One by one, the world tree roots were combined with Jiuyou's void veins, and gradually began to combine with the entire Jiuyou from Jiuyou's sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and endless dimensional void dimensions.
The roots of the World Tree spreading throughout the Nine Netherworld are like the meridians that run through the human body, gradually concentrating the power of the Nine Netherworld into the World Tree, thereby further strengthening the power of the World Tree.
Under the dense roots of the World Tree, there is a vast world fragment entangled by it. There is a pure and fairy air in the world fragment, and the essence of the whole world seems to be higher than all the worlds.
The roots of the world trees, one after another, are firmly rooted in the fragments of the world of extremely high essence. The roots of the world trees are like terrifying black holes, madly devouring and absorbing the fragments of the world.
Boom! !
That piece of world fragment was shaking wildly. Under the constant mad devouring of the World Tree, the matter of this piece of world fragment, which was essentially higher than all the worlds, was being lost at a very fast speed. The great rules and laws contained in the world were also all absorbed and decomposed by the World Tree.
This is a part of the outer fragments of the Ninth Heaven that Ye Tianming forcibly snatched during the battle with the Emperor of Heaven. Now, after leading the World Tree back to the Nine Netherworld, he is helping the World Tree digest this part of the Ninth Heaven.
boom!
Soon, Ye Tianming used the power of Jiuyou's will to help the World Tree digest the fragments of the Ninth Heaven. The World Tree grew in size suddenly, as if it had absorbed enough nutrients.
The dark leaves of the Nine Netherworld Tree were glowing with a bit of pure white light. Within the countless branches and leaves of the World Tree, the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire were flowing freely, and infinite light was spreading out.
"Yes, the power has become stronger again!"
After receiving the power fed back by the World Tree, Ye Tianming felt that his own strength had improved a lot again, so he sighed.
At this moment, the posture he displayed was completely different from what he had just shown in the real world. There were no scars on his body, and his overall momentum did not show the slightest sign of weakening.
Obviously, what he had just done in the real world was just something he had discussed with the Emperor of Heaven, and it was used to temporarily confuse other people on the other side. However, Ye Tianming felt that it was uncertain whether the other people on the other side would be confused.
But it doesn’t matter. The relationships between people on the other side are extremely chaotic anyway. In this era, they are enemies fighting each other, but in the next era, they may be close allies.
"It is already evolving towards the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level of the World Tree. It seems that the world power of Jiuyou and Jiutian is of great benefit to the evolution of the World Tree and helps to complete the complete transformation of life."
Ye Tianming sat on the crown of the World Tree, feeling the changes taking place inside the World Tree. He watched as the World Tree, which had absorbed the power of the Nine Heavens and Nine Netherworlds, gave birth to a layer of Quasi-Immortal Emperor light within its trunk.
He carefully estimated that the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's radiance on the World Tree was as strong as 10% to 20%. Compared with the creatures at the Immortal King level, it had already reached the level of qualitative change.
The most important thing is that the transformation progress of the World Tree is now constantly improving under the unremitting supply of the origin from the Nine Nether Will. It seems that it wants to make the World Tree grow rapidly so that the World Tree can withstand more power from the Nine Nether Will.
Obviously, the failure of controlling the World Tree to attack the Ninth Heaven last time has caused Jiuyou Will to increase its investment in the World Tree. Now it is constantly upgrading the World Tree in preparation for the next attack on the heavens and all worlds.
Densely packed Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao patterns are continuously emerging from the branches of the World Tree. Combined with the power of the Dao transmitted by Jiuyou, the overall power of the World Tree becomes even stronger.
“If it continues like this, it won’t take the World Tree hundreds of years to complete its transformation with the help of Jiuyou, and allow its life level to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.” Looking at the continuous transformation process of the World Tree, Ye Tianming couldn’t help but show joy on his face.
As long as the World Tree can reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and coupled with the importance Jiuyou's will now place on the World Tree, he will be able to use the World Tree to contain the entire Jiuyou when the end of the world comes, and condense the Dao Fruit of the Other Shore that symbolizes the end, allowing himself to become the strongest person on the other shore at the end of the world, just like Lingbao Tianzun.
……
"It's time to see what I've gained this time!"
"I wonder what the Tathagata Palm of the Supreme Being is like?"
"What is the difference between the Tathagata Palm created by the Yuanhuang of the Yangshen World and the two?"
After checking the overall situation of the World Tree, Ye Tianming began to check his gains from entering the real world this time, and counted the peerless skills he had collected during this entry into the real world.
This time, what he gained from entering the real world, in addition to the peerless Heavenly Punishment Axe of the Other Shore wielded by the Golden Emperor, was also the unique skills passed down by the half-step transcendent Buddha, the supreme secret book of Buddhism, "Tathagata Palm".
A half-dead, half-thriving Bodhi tree appeared in the Netherworld, full of the meaning of transcendence of life and death and pure sinking. The trunk was concave, revealing the image of a monk, seemingly existing and not existing, neither empty nor not empty.
This is the withered and flourishing Bodhi tree that records the general outline of "Tathagata Palm". According to the development of the original plot, it should appear in the sea of fish in the real world in the next few years, but unfortunately it has been intercepted by Ye Tianming in advance.
While Ye Tianming was leading Jiuyou to attack the real world, he silently took the outline of "Tathagata Palm" from the sea of fish. Almost no one noticed his action.
In addition to the further transformation of the World Tree in his hand, this withered and flourishing Bodhi tree that recorded the general outline of the Tathagata Palm was his greatest gain in this trip to the real world. He obtained this magical skill without paying any price.
The Tathagata Palm created by the Buddha, the Most Supreme in the World, has a total of nine styles, which are divided into "Only I Am Supreme", "The Four Elements Are Empty", "Turning Back Is the Shore", "Vajra Illuminating Everywhere", "Pure Land in the Palm", "Saving All Living Beings", "Impermanence of All Things", and "Pure Nirvana".
"Only I am supreme" and "See Me When You Kill the Way" in the Seven Styles of Cutting the Sky have very similar abilities. Both have the power to directly point to the true spirit and mind of one's nature. External objects can be relied upon, only "I" is supreme.
"Saving All Living Beings" and "Spreading the Tao Throughout the Universe" in the Seven Styles of Cutting the Sky are both moves that are omnipotent in space. They are both other-shore-level magical powers that contain the Tao of space. They are the two people's understanding of the Tao of space.
The Great Dao has different paths but the same destination. The effects of the Tathagata Palm and the other moves of the Seven Heaven-cutting Styles are similar. They are all magical powers used by the Daoist Master and the Buddha to explain the Great Dao of the world, and are the crystallization of their own Dao Fruits. In short, the Seven Heaven-cutting Styles and the Tathagata Palm are both considered to be one of the top skills in this world, even if you are born as a person on the other side, and now you are the oldest person on the other side, Yuanshi Tianzun.
Among the Nine Seals of Yuanshi created by him, only the first three can be compared with one of these two peerless skills. The remaining six seals, although also at the level of the other shore, are slightly inferior to the two in power and function.
Originally, Ye Tianming wanted to take away the Avenue Tree that recorded the Seven Styles of Cutting the Sky, but considering certain factors, he finally did not take it. He planned to wait until the time was right after a while, and then go to the Zhenwu Secret Mansion in the real world to get the Avenue Tree to support the next era.
Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot. As long as there are no special surprises in the future plot development and the Tree of Avenue does not run away on its own, you can get the Tree of Avenue whenever you want.
Soon, Ye Tianming immersed his mind in the withered and flourishing Bodhi, feeling the true meaning of the general principles of the Tathagata Palm contained therein, and began to use the opportunity of practicing the Tathagata Palm to master more illusory avenues.
……
As the power of the World Tree grew stronger, the Nine Netherworld area covered by its crown and roots became wider and wider. A Nine Netherworld Demon God sleeping in the Nine Netherworld was gradually awakened by the power of the World Tree.
The supreme ancestor of the Asura clan suddenly looked up at the world tree that covered the sky, looked at the trunk that was constantly spreading towards the entire Jiuyou, and felt the power of Jiuyou constantly accumulating.
"What exactly does that person who was born on the other side want to do? Ever since he came back from attacking the real world, he has been using his tree-shaped magic weapon to continuously gather the power of the entire Nine Netherworld?"
On the forehead of the Asura ancestor, there is a blood-red crystal eye, his hair is all white and sparse, the wrinkles on his skin can pinch mosquitoes to death, his eyes are cloudy, and his teeth are withered.
The whole person was filled with the aura of time and decay, because the Asura ancestor did not have much time left to live. He could drop dead on the spot at any time, because he had lived for too long, and was born from the Nine Netherworld almost since it was opened up.
The time from the beginning of an era to the end of an era is really too long, and it is unknown how many tens of thousands of years it adds up to. The legendary Dharmakaya immortals and creatures, if they do not have any special opportunities, they would probably have to die countless times and their souls would have to reincarnate countless times.
In addition, because the battle with the other shore destroyed his lifespan, even though the Asura ancestor was a legendary powerful being and possessed power equivalent to that of a great creator with the blessing of Jiuyou, his lifespan is now almost at its limit, and he needs to sleep and recuperate from time to time.
"If I can enter that tree and absorb the strange substance contained in the tree, I might be able to completely solve the problem of my lifespan being exhausted, and even be able to live a second life."
"pity……"
The Asura Ancestor shook his head. Facing a being from the other side who could become God's will, even though he possessed power comparable to that of a great creator within the Nine Netherworlds, he still did not dare to act rashly.
But as he felt the life substance contained in the World Tree, a look of longing appeared on his face. He could feel the benefits of life substance to his lifespan, and it could definitely solve the problem of his own lifespan exhaustion.
"I wonder if I can get his permission to enter the Nine Nether Tree and prolong my life if I surrender to him." The Asura Ancestor pondered this idea. While thinking about the feasibility of this idea, the pressure of his lifespan running out forced him to make this decision.
"A symbol of the end of an era..."
The ancestor of Asura suddenly cried out in surprise. He felt the power of destruction and creation emanating from the World Tree, which formed a Tai Chi diagram of yin and yang intertwined, and eventually gave rise to a vast universe.
The black and white air complemented each other, bubbles of the world continued to rise, and countless world Dao patterns madly absorbed the power gathered from the Nine Netherworld, and absorbed all kinds of Dao meanings contained in the Nine Netherworld Avenue.
The universe derived from the World Tree, under the influence of Jiuyou's power, went from the beginning to prosperity, and from prosperity to destruction. The inner meaning of the end became stronger and stronger, like the incarnation of the end of the era.
……
"The symbol of the end of the Dao fruit, isn't this the symbol of the Dao that Lingbao Master possesses? How could it appear on that divine weapon of the Born Beyond the Shore that appeared from the Ninth Netherworld? What on earth is going on?"
"Could it be that the person who was born on the other side was born by the heavens and the myriad worlds to replace Master Lingbao and end the existence of this era?"
In a certain time and space in the Nine Netherworld, a Nine Netherworld Blood Demon stood there, with blood clouds rolling around him and a long blood river swirling around him. The meaning of blood, devouring, melting and so on surrounded him.
This Nine Nether Blood Demon exudes a majestic aura that is beyond the sea of suffering. Surrounding its body is a long river of time and destiny that has no beginning or end, allowing its consciousness to span the past, present and future.
It's just that, although the performance of this blood demon's consciousness throughout the past and the future is somewhat similar to that of the people on the other side, its essence is very different from the real people on the other side, and the gap between the two is huge.
Obviously, this is a person with great magical powers of creation who, with the help of the power of Jiuyou, has condensed his own perfect understanding of the illusory great way into an illusory fruit that is above the sea of suffering. Only then did he become a pseudo-other shore person in Jiuyou and possess the power and performance of a person on the other shore.
At this moment, this pseudo-other-shore person from Jiuyou was looking at the increasingly strong sense of the end on the World Tree in surprise, feeling that under Jiuyou's blessing, it was transforming into a symbol of the end of the era.
Now, any living being of any race in the heavens and myriad worlds, when seeing the Tao displayed by the World Tree, will involuntarily imagine the end of the era of myriad worlds and the scene of the destruction of myriad worlds in their minds.
"What is going on?" The Nine Nether Blood Demon, or Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun Yang Jian, was trying hard to think about the reasons for the changes in the World Tree and analyzing why it had undergone such changes.
"Could it be that because Master Lingbao has now gotten rid of the symbol of the end of his own era, a natural other shore has appeared in the Nine Netherworld to fill the vacancy of the symbol of the end of the era."
"But this is not right..."
After thinking for a long time, Yang Jian came to this conclusion, but he still couldn't convince himself and felt that there were still some illogical points.
