Chapter 501: Holy Domain Takes Action

"So what if you are a true Emperor?"

"Since you have discovered us, you should know at least a little about our background."

"We have the Holy Domain behind us, with Sages above the Emperors who suppress all who defy them!"

"Those Excellencies are not like those Dark Catastrophes that act on instinct; they can utilize the timing, the terrain, and the people to unleash miracles that the Dark Catastrophes could never achieve."

"……"

The moment these words fell, the black-clad leader realized that the pressure all around had suddenly multiplied.

The immense pressure formed by the thousands of starlight rays falling from the sky caused the protective Barriers of the black-clad men to creak and groan.

But in an instant.

This Diji, which contained the great Dharma Power of a Sage, actually began to tremble slightly after resisting for only this short while, showing signs of collapsing.

This made the black-clad leader feel a secret sense of trepidation.

How is this Emperor-level might so different from those encountered in the past?

It also seems to differ significantly from what is recorded.

Could it be that those so-called true Emperors in the records were not true Emperors at all?

"Stop at once!"

"Do you really intend to tear your face off with the Holy Domain!"

"Heh!"

Su Ping's voice landed all around the black-clad men's Barrier.

"So what if I fall out with your Holy Domain?"

"You disciples of the Holy Domain, isn't what you do in various Shikong Haiyu just diverting disaster to others?"

"Because of the man-made disasters you cause, even this Shikong Haiyu is suffering the consequences, isn't it?"

"I have an affinity with this Shikong Haiyu, so it is only reasonable for me to stand up for it."

"Therefore, is it not also reasonable for me to detain you and demand compensation from the Holy Domain?"

As Su Ping spoke with righteous indignation.

The starlight all around grew even more intense.

Furthermore, a Salvation Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image appeared before the black-clad men.

Without another word, it threw a punch.

Within the Sun Moon Star Chart, this Salvation Heavenly Venerable, blessed by the timing and terrain, had a physical form comparable to a Small Thousand World.

"Not good!"

The black-clad leader's expression changed drastically.

In addition to activating the Diji in his hand, he also ordered the black-clad men beside him to each unleash their own abilities.

These black-clad men who had followed him were all outstanding members of the younger generation in the Holy Domain.

They were capable of being sent out to execute such secret missions.

The weakest among them had Ninth Stage cultivation.

The stronger ones even possessed the status of Emperors and were bolstered by their own life-bound Diji.

The Holy Domain had been spared from the ravages of the Dark Catastrophe for millions of years; even if Diji were not easily obtained, they could always accumulate them over time.

Thus, they possessed the capital to look down upon other Time Domains in the vicinity.

Therefore, at the moment the Salvation Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image threw its punch.

Within the teetering black-light Barrier, three dazzling deep-red rays of light immediately erupted.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

These were three Diji filled with a mysterious aura.

A pair of deep-red scissors, a crimson seal carved with a one-horned rhinoceros, and a dark-red Copper Mirror as tall as a person.

Once these three Diji appeared, the black-light Barrier immediately looked more than several times more stable.

However, as the fist of the Salvation Heavenly Venerable—which was a size larger than a planet—smashed into the black-clad men's Barrier.

Boom!

In an instant, the Barrier was like an egg struck by a high-speed bullet.

It actually exploded directly.

The black-clad men inside had not expected their defense to be so vulnerable.

In their astonishment, they hurriedly used their own life-saving trump cards to offset and dodge the damage.

Even so, many black-clad men with lower cultivation and less experience were sent flying backward, and after traveling a distance through the starry sky at high speed.

They were enveloped by the thousands of starlight rays, bound, and then disappeared into this Huijuan Secret Realm.

"How is this possible!"

"Such Dharma Image divine might... I have never even heard of it on your person."

"How could it appear on an Emperor!"

Relying on the protection of his Diji, the black-clad leader dodged at the critical moment, flashing ten thousand miles away to avoid the most destructive shockwave.

He saw the fate of his companions, but in his heart, he no longer had any thought of saving them.

After the collision just now, the leader deeply realized that the foundation of the person before him was unfathomable.

One could not simply view the opponent as an Emperor.

He should at least be a Half-Saint!

Below the Eleventh Tier, this person is likely invincible in the world!

As this speculation flashed through the black-clad leader's mind, his figure flickered and he ran even faster.

However, he chanted incantations without pause, and the Talismans and magical treasures on his body flashed with wild light.

Yet, he could not find the flaw in this Secret Realm to allow him to escape.

Just in the blink of an eye, that towering Salvation Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image had already reached into the Void, grabbing the remaining men in black and taking them captive.

Then, as he lowered his head slightly, his Dharma Eye had already locked onto the leader of the men in black, the one who had slipped through the net.

The leader of the men in black turned pale.

After feeling that he had been locked onto by the opponent.

The leader of the men in black made up his mind, took out a command token, and shouted aloud:

"Saint of South Bright Fire, save me!"

The command token received the call and immediately erupted with dazzling light.

A blue flame soared into the sky, and within the flame appeared a projection of a heroic young general wearing light blue armor and a purple-gold crown.

This projection looked up, and even upon seeing the imposing figure of the Salvation Heavenly Venerable, he still felt not the slightest bit of fear or worry.

Instead, he laughed heartily and shouted a few times that this time he finally had a decent opponent.

"Watch as I use cultivation at the same realm as you, and then sever your Divine Soul to enter my Heroic Soul Armor!"

This Saint of South Bright Fire was one of the most bellicose and capable fighters in the Holy Domain.

With the South Bright Fire Saint Body combined with the self-created South Bright Fire Divine Art, he was almost invincible in single combat within the Holy Domain.

The command token he gave was also the greatest trump card for survival among this group of men in black.

Seeing the Saint of South Bright Fire speak such bold words.

The leader of the men in black breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even if he couldn't gain an advantage this time, he could at least save himself and escape the dangerous situation.

The next instant, however, the leader of the men in black was suddenly stunned.

It was because that phantom of the Saint of South Bright Fire suddenly shouted:

"Strange!"

"How is this Secret Realm of yours so bizarre!"

"Why can I not contact my true self?"

"Wait! Wait until I contact my true self before we fight!"

As this phantom said this, the large hand of the Salvation Heavenly Venerable had already slapped down.

In the blink of an eye, it shattered this Saint phantom.

Su Ping naturally knew why the opponent could not contact his true self.

To be safe, after he used the Sun Moon Star Chart to trap the target, he took the Sun Moon Star Chart into his body and immediately used a Teleportation Talisman to return to the Water Blue Star World.

After crossing such a large dimensional world.

It would be a miracle if those Saints, who were only at the Eleventh Tier, could contact their Avatars.

And without the main body transmitting Divine Power across space.

The meager strength of those projections was naturally no match for Su Ping's Dharma Image.

A flash of despair crossed the eyes of the leader of the men in black; he gripped his Diji tightly and unleashed a full-strength strike to seek life in death!

However, after such a full-strength strike was unleashed.

It soon sank like a stone into the sea under the illumination of the surrounding starlight.

These starlights all contained the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

And the moment after the leader of the men in black failed his strike, the Salvation Heavenly Venerable, to show respect, brought his hands together and unleashed his full power.

Instantly!

The Diji in the hands of this leader of the men in black shattered, and his entire body was covered in cracks like a spiderweb.

His supernatural powers were broken, and he had almost become a cripple.

Su Ping did not kill him either; seeing that he had lost the ability to resist, he immediately took him captive and handed him over to Tian Rulai and the Fomen behind him for interrogation.

The Fomen behind Tian Rulai, and even the greater Buddha Realm.

After successfully hunting the Supreme Mother God, they had reached a consensus to deepen cooperation with Su Ping no matter what.

And Su Ping also intended to use the power of the Buddha Realm to see if he could lure the snake out of its hole and take advantage of the Holy Domain once more.

But even if he couldn't, it didn't matter, as this operation was a success.

The secrets of the Holy Domain were about to be exposed before everyone's eyes.

When the news spread, Su Ping felt that based on his own charm and battle record.

He might be able to assemble an alliance to resist the Holy Domain.

…………

Buddha Realm, deep within the Eighty-Eighth Tathagata Grotto-Heaven.

A Great Heroic Treasure Hall was located here, and the Buddha light of the treasure hall illuminated the entire Grotto-Heaven, leaving the surroundings in an atmosphere of absolute peace and tranquility.

At this very moment, inside the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, hundreds of High Monks from different regions of the Buddha Realm were gathered together.

Led by three Buddha Venerables, they chanted Buddhist scriptures together to transcend the wandering souls trapped in a small Buddha Pagoda in the center of the hall.

These wandering souls were those men in black, including that leader.

They kept cursing and swearing amidst the Buddha light.

As they watched the Buddha light invade, their aura grew increasingly weak.

Once they reached their limit, they would be successfully transcended, and the secrets in their primordial spirits would be voluntarily revealed under the Buddhist Dharma.

Yet these wandering souls were powerless to resist.

Their supernatural powers and formidable physical bodies had all been destroyed by that true Emperor.

Even the broken Diji and magical treasures had been taken away by the opponent, their whereabouts unknown.

It could be said that, apart from waiting for rescue from the Holy Domain, they no longer had any reliance at all.

"Amitabha, benefactors, your sins are monstrous; you had best quickly let go of the past and attain a new life."

An ancient Fo with six arms pressed together in prayer chanted this with a smile at the corners of his mouth.

Then, without waiting for the sounds of resistance to rise from within the Buddha Pagoda.

A phantom image of a Golden Lotus emerged from the body of this ancient Fo.

Following closely, Golden Lotuses sprouted everywhere within the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, as a new batch of High Monks from the Buddha Realm had arrived to assist.

The one who had come this time, sitting cross-legged on a Golden Lotus platform, was even a Buddha Emperor of the Buddha Realm!

He was a Fomen Emperor from another Time Domain.

Thanks to the butterfly effect caused by Su Ping.

The Dark Catastrophe of Chaos and Decay that had begun to cause trouble in his region hundreds of years ago had actually subsided.

This Emperor had not needed to sacrifice himself to become a suppressing Diji in order to Seal these Undying things.

And after understanding the existence of the mastermind, the Holy Domain.

As an Emperor, he naturally soon realized the various coincidences that had occurred in his own Time Domain previously.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, this Fomen Emperor joined under Su Ping's banner to oppose the Holy Domain.

Willing to contribute his own share of strength.

With the addition of the Buddha Realm Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, the pressure on the ghosts inside the Buddha Pagoda increased manifold.

Before long, one ghost was completely purified by the Buddha light.

After flying out of the Buddha Pagoda, this ghost began to weep bitterly and confess his sins.

In order to allow the Dark Catastrophe to descend early, so as not to cause trouble for the Holy Domain.

They had used every wicked and harmful method imaginable.

Even now, in the various Shikong Haiyu, and even the Small Worlds hidden within the Time-Space Turbulence.

The reason why the Demon Sect's lineage was spread and the Demon Sect's heritage never ceased.

All had to do with their Holy Domain.

The Holy Domain had a lineage named the Holy Demon Sect.

Every generation of the Holy Demon Sect's leader, after becoming a Saint, would deliberately spread the Demon Sect lineage they had studied before becoming a Saint across billions of Small Worlds through a Secret Technique.

Such preaching was not for the sake of the Great Dao eventually converging, but to allow people in the outside world to cultivate more Magic Art, creating convenience for their dispatched agents.

After all, Demon Cultivators in the world were the most suitable to become agents, and then actively invite the Dark Catastrophe to descend early.

These secret accounts made the Fomen High Monks chant Amitabha incessantly.

Just as there was a first, there was a second.

Seeing that a second ghost was about to be successfully purified.

This Buddha Realm Dongtian.

Suddenly shook.

Following that, the sky of the Dongtian was torn open, revealing a pitch-black rift split into two halves.

Then, from within the rift, accompanied by a sigh of "Why go to such lengths?"

A golden hand the size of the Great Heroic Treasure Hall stretched out from the high-altitude rift.

And in the blink of an eye, it reached the Great Heroic Treasure Hall.

With almost no effort at all.

The Great Heroic Treasure Hall was crushed.

The Fomen Emperor swept up the other High Monks and moved far away the moment the large hand descended.

The large hand did not stop them, but gently pinched the Buddha Pagoda inside the hall.

Instantly, the Buddha Pagoda shattered, and the black-clad figures regained their freedom.

These black-clad ghosts did not dare to linger, and one after another, they submerged into the palm of the golden hand.

Then they were taken back into the rift.

The entire process was smooth and fluid, without any delay.

Nor was there any communication with the natives of the Buddha Realm.

The Fomen Emperor stared deeply at the rift in the sky, with a hint of emotion:

"Is this the strength of a realm surpassing an Emperor?"

"Even a Fomen stronghold cannot stop the other party from coming and going at will."

"Fortunately, the one on the other side does not seem to wish to commit more slaughter... we have been spared."

The words "been spared" had barely left his lips.

This Fomen Emperor suddenly discovered that the Fomen High Monks around him all had dull eyes and lifeless auras.

Checking carefully.

The Fomen Emperor was greatly shocked.

He had not expected that in that momentary confrontation, they hadn't even dared to face it head-on, only fleeing blindly.

Yet... apart from him, the Emperor.

The rest of the High Monks had all had a large portion of their Divine Soul and primordial spirit taken away in the process.

Only the remnants of their primordial spirits remained to maintain the basic operation of their physical bodies.

If there were no accidents, they would all be living corpses for the rest of their lives.

For a Cultivator, this was undoubtedly a form of torture.

"What terrifying methods."

"A confrontation of this level is truly not something we can interfere with."

"Sigh, I hope that this time, the side of that Savior Heavenly Venerable truly has deep foundations and can contend with the Holy Domain side."

"Even if it is just to make the other party compromise and not be so excessive toward the Shikong Haiyu where we reside, that would be excellent."

The Fomen Emperor sighed inwardly and utilized a Fo treasure to protect the physical bodies of the surrounding High Monks.

Holy Domain.

The golden giant hand that brought back the souls of the men in black slowly vanished, revealing an old man in a cyan Daoist robe sitting cross-legged on the back of a giant whale, eyes closed in a state between dreaming and waking.

This old man had originally intended to simply throw these souls to someone else to handle and continue his own cultivation by Enter Dream.

Suddenly.

The old Daoist's body shuddered, his divine sense locking onto one soul.

"Strange, why is there a trace of opportunity on you that even this old Daoist cannot see through?"
