Chapter 310: A Broken Immortal Domain? The Choice of Amitabha Great Emperor

"You?"

Even knowing they had entered a trap, the choices of the seven Ancient Emperors and Supremes differed; Shi Huang remained unruly and defiant, standing amidst the heavens and earth, his gaze cold as he stared at Zhang Xuan.

"I was still wondering why things had gone so smoothly; so, someone had already stolen a march on us."

"I have seen your face; you are that mysterious person from the reports of the Ancient Myriad Tribes. You obtained the inheritance of the Undying Emperor, communicated with them in advance, and entered the Immortal Domain?"

Even at this moment, he was still able to analyze the situation calmly and coldly.

Zhang Xuan, however, could not be bothered to answer, merely staring at the others who had stepped into the formation.

After watching for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.

The number of fish caught this time was very large, even exceeding the number of Supremes on his own side.

Yet the overall situation was still fine, not as difficult as before.

Because among this group, apart from the four—Guang'an Zhizun, Lunhui Zhi Zhu, Shenxu Zhi Zhu, and Shi Huang—who were most determined to launch the Dark Turmoil.

The other three actually showed few traces of the Dark Turmoil.

At the very least, Zhang Xuan did not detect on them the terrifying resentment that naturally accompanies the launching of the Dark Turmoil.

One Human Race Supreme was in a very poor state, appearing as if they were about to pass away at any moment; only after arriving in this world and swallowing a mouthful of Immortal Substance did they manage to recover slightly, though in reality, it did not extend their lifespan by much.

Immortal Substance flowed outside, looking very generous, but in reality, Zhang Xuan controlled it consciously, and not many people absorbed it.

Moreover, each person could likely only extend their lifespan by five to one hundred years; the effect existed but was not great, primarily used for fishing.

This could support the Supremes and Ancient Emperors in their Extreme Sublimation, preventing them from dying immediately.

At the same time, it could also lead them to harbor other thoughts: if even the entrance to the Immortal Domain had such rich Immortal Substance, wouldn't there be endless lifespans after entering the Immortal Domain? There would be no need to worry about death at all.

Therefore, they had no great burden when performing Extreme Sublimation.

But in reality, after entering the Small World, under Zhang Xuan's active control, let alone Immortal Substance, even the Heaven and Earth Essence would not flow freely; everything was consciously controlled.

Once they entered, they were already fish in a barrel.

Seven peerless figures entered the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

But among them, three revealed expressions of disappointment rather than hatred.

"Sigh, no matter the time or place, there are always some people with the most steadfast intentions."

Once his thoughts were settled, Zhang Xuan sent a voice transmission, and both the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou nodded.

"Those who have not launched the Dark Turmoil may stand aside; I will only fight to the death with those who have!"

As Zhang Xuan spoke nonchalantly, Wanlong Emperor and Qilin Ancient Emperor appeared within the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

Both stood at their peak state, fully revived, without any suppression of themselves, which caused the expressions of the seven Supremes to shift.

The faces of figures like Shi Huang and Guang'an Zhizun turned cold to the core.

The Human Race Great Emperor and the others who shared his goal—merely living between heaven and earth while constantly attempting to open the Immortal Path for their descendants—remained silent, yet felt slightly gratified.

After many years, there were finally people who shared their aspirations, and it seemed they had already successfully walked such a path.

Without needing Zhang Xuan to say more, one of the Human Race Great Emperors turned his gaze toward Shi Huang.

Shi Huang stood within the Undying Mountain, while he had rushed out from another Forbidden Zone; they were at odds with such figures.

Zhang Xuan watched and shook his head; as the formation shifted, although the seven Supremes stood together, the sense of time and space was shattered and overturned, making it difficult for them to join forces.

"You do not need to act; just stand aside calmly.

"When the dust settles and it is confirmed that your hands are not stained with the blood of your own kin, you will naturally be accepted."

No further words were needed; as Ancient Emperors and Supremes, they could judge for themselves.

At this very moment, Wanlong Emperor and Qilin Ancient Emperor were both in their peak states, their lifespans had clearly been greatly enhanced, and they could even preside over the Zhu Xian Four Swords at this time.

This indicated that what Zhang Xuan said was not empty talk, but a sincere acceptance of them.

At the very least, Wanlong Emperor and Qilin Ancient Emperor were recognized within the Forbidden Zones as those who had not stirred up the Dark Turmoil and had not forgotten their original intentions.

Endless chaos mist surged, and the many figures could naturally judge who were the true instigators of the Dark Turmoil.

Guang'an Zhizhu, Shenxu Zhi Zhu, the master of Lun Hui Hai, and the master of Undying Mountain, Shi Huang, were all consciously separated.

As for the other three, they were merely kept apart on one side, and he did not let them out either.

After all, the enemy and allies were not yet clearly distinguished, and the true situation was not yet certain.

He simply let them stand aside; as long as they remained quiet, everything would settle.

Amitabha Great Emperor was in a state of ascension, doing his utmost to remain stable while undergoing his own transformation.

Having been actively attacking before, he stopped his methods upon seeing the situation gradually stabilize, nodding as he said: "Fellow Daoist, the matter here has settled, and you have fulfilled your promise to me.

"I owe you much, yet you have been of great help to me.

"Logically, I should not continue to seek your help, but now my many followers are hoping for me to go with them; for my body and mind to be truly complete, I also need to go with them. I ask for your help to go to that world!"

As Amitabha Great Emperor spoke of seeking help, he did not ask for it without reason.

He reached out, and Mount Sumeru, which stood eighty-four thousand li high, rising directly from Beidou into the starry sky—a mountain of unknown, terrifying scale—was lifted out by his hand.

Having been chanted to by billions of Buddhist followers for countless years, commemorated time and again by peerless figures of past generations, and even crafted by his own hand back in the day, it was already a supreme divine object in itself.

It could even be said to be a supreme item not inferior to an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, and with its many temples, it was a sacred mountain on Beidou.

At this moment, Mount Sumeru still held temples and artifacts left behind by countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, including the Da Leiyin Si crafted by Amitabha Great Emperor himself.

He placed Mount Sumeru here with one hand, thought for a moment, and left the Demon-Subduing Pestle behind as well.

He nodded and sighed: "You have helped me greatly, yet I cannot repay you with more; this is all I can give for now."

As he spoke, profound scriptures were resonating in his mind, especially above his Immortal Platform; those golden characters transformed into one golden word after another, branding themselves into Mount Sumeru.

"These materials are not enough to express my gratitude to you; I have just branded and left behind the many insights from my ascension process.

"The application of Faith Power is also left behind; consider it a small return to you, and I hope you do not find this reward meager."

Mount Sumeru, of unknown grandeur and size, stood quietly in this Small World where Zhang Xuan was, becoming another magnificent spectacle.

Above it flowed ancient scriptures; those were the Amitabha Sutra, the scriptures that Amitabha Great Emperor had once practiced.

Or perhaps it was a scripture he created after gaining new insights at his current stage, and he imprinted these realizations and experiences onto it without reservation.

What was even more astonishing was that at this moment, the eyes of Amitabha Great Emperor began to flicker with golden radiance.

He seemed to faintly perceive the path Zhang Xuan would take next, and after contemplating for a moment, he reached out and plucked something from the firmament.

An existence similar to the Heavenly Heart Imprint was plucked down by him and placed into the palm of Zhang Xuan's hand.

"This is the realization and experience I left behind when I once achieved the status of Amitabha, when the Great Emperor merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, as well as my former Dao Fruit; I see that you seem to intend to unite many Dao Fruits to achieve a supreme, peerless feat."

"This portion may provide you with some assistance."

Amitabha said this, then added with a hint of shame: "I have not accumulated much in my life; there is still a piece of Dragon Pattern Black Gold on Mount Sumeru that can be fused into the weapon you are forging; this can be considered my life's accumulation."

"I hope that you, fellow Daoist, can send me to the Immortal Realm to achieve a supreme Dao Fruit there."

Giving away so many things at once was practically emptying his entire estate, all to be given to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he still carefully explained: "That world may not be as wonderful as you imagine."

"Many believers have already informed me that there are unimaginable enemies in that world, and one must fight against innate Gods and Demons."

"But my own path is just like this: I take a glimmer of spiritual light and power from hundreds of millions of believers to form this invincible body of mine; having carried their power, I must also carry their dreams and shield them from the wind and rain."

"Now that they are all in that world, how could I stay here alone? Furthermore, I need to cross over completely to fulfill my promise."

"Only in this way can I truly walk my path to the end; that path may be rugged, it may be winding, but it is ultimately a correct path..."

Zhang Xuan had not initially thought about sending the faith-body of Amitabha Great Emperor to Taigu, but in the current situation, sending him there might be a good thing.

Amitabha Great Emperor might not be as powerful as the innate Light and Dark Main Gods in the world of Ascension After right now.

But he was taking the billions of believers from the Amitabha Ancient Star and those spread throughout the entire Zhetian Great Universe to Taigu.

Moreover, after these people achieved Chang Sheng, they were basically his most steadfast believers; under the blessing of such terrifying Faith Power.

Once Amitabha Great Emperor stepped into Taigu, he would likely truly begin to transform and would evolve into a Red Dust Immortal in a very short time.

It was originally impossible to achieve Immortality by relying on many believers, but with Zhang Xuan's help, Amitabha Great Emperor had truly achieved it; the boast he made back then was actually coming true.

The Faith Power of Amitabha Great Emperor might not be as infinite as that of the Main Gods.

But when it comes to the application of Faith Power and other aspects, Amitabha Great Emperor should be at the forefront.

Transforming into a Red Dust Immortal might truly allow him to contend with the Main Gods.

Of course, there might still be deficiencies, but he would certainly have the power to protect himself.

Moreover, by achieving the Red Dust Immortal through his own efforts, his potential and realm would be unimaginable, and he would soar into the sky in a very short time.

By that time, the landscape of the entire Taigu and even the world of Ascension After would change.

Now, having gone very far on the path to becoming an Immortal, Amitabha Great Emperor was of some help to Zhang Xuan, but not that much.

Therefore, after carefully weighing it, Zhang Xuan nodded, pointed his fingertip, and the passage leading to Taigu was constructed.

That vast and boundless world of Taigu revealed a glimpse of itself to this heaven and earth.

Whether it was Gai Jiuyou, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, or the cold-faced Shi Huang, all were staring at that passage.

They widened their eyes, looking at the boundless, desolate world behind the passage that possessed infinite Immortal Substance.

They felt the brokenness of that world; even a world with incredibly solid and unimaginably powerful rules had an aura of ruin, as if it had experienced the most terrifying and cruel battles.

Without waiting for them to experience it in detail, Amitabha Great Emperor nodded to Zhang Xuan and then stepped inside.

The next moment, the passage vanished rapidly amidst the expectant gazes of countless people, leaving not a single trace behind.

Shi Huang still stared fixedly at that spot, even going mad within the sword formation; the Heaven Desolation Halberd in his hand flashed with light, and the blood energy belonging to a Saint Spirit was unleashed without reservation, destroying heaven and earth.

Saint Spirits themselves are beings born of heaven and earth, extremely powerful and terrifying, not to mention that the opponent had gone a step further at the level of a Great Perfection Saint Spirit, undergoing Extreme Sublimation to become an Emperor among Saint Spirits.

Even among Ancient Emperors, he was a very terrifying and formidable existence.

Back when he emerged during the era when Void Great Emperor was alive, he had caused great obstacles for Void Great Emperor.

And now that light flashed on his weapon again, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body fixed his eyes on him immediately.

In the ancient times, among the nine invincible Saint Bodies of heaven and earth, one of them died in his later years because of Undying Mountain.

This debt would eventually have to be settled by someone.

Zhang Xuan, however, smiled, stared at the Heaven Desolation Halberd in Shi Huang's hand, shook his head after a moment, and said with a hint of disdain.

"You are worthy of calling it 'Heaven Desolation'?"

Before the words faded, Zhang Xuan swallowed the Heavenly Heart Imprint that Amitabha Great Emperor had left behind from his later years into his belly, and then stepped into the formation.

Without any superfluous movements, it was just the most fierce and domineering punch.

"Arrogant!"

Shi Huang was furious; he had never seen such an arrogant person, daring to be so arrogant in front of him before even achieving the Dao.

He was currently in a state of Extreme Sublimation; even the Great Accomplishment Saint Body would not dare to be so wild in front of him.

Moreover, the opponent had directly looked down on the weapon in his hand, which made his heart burn with fire; the Heaven Desolation Halberd flashed and slashed down with force.

The bright halberd light aimed directly at Zhang Xuan's crown, intending to split Zhang Xuan from head to toe.
