Chapter 564: This is Not the Heavenly Emperor

This... this is the aura of the Heavenly Emperor Authority.

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor Authority manifested by Li Heng, as well as the aura and phenomena that erupted, the Three Elders of Fu, Lu, and Shou were suddenly startled, incomparably astonished.

What is going on? Why would such an aura appear?

The Heavenly Court has been shattered for countless years, and they have also left the Heavenly Court for countless years; those past experiences had long been buried deep within their hearts, almost impossible to be overturned again.

They knew that everything could never return.

But now, however...

"This is impossible! Only His Majesty possesses the Heavenly Emperor Authority, but His Majesty has already gone deep into the Wuqiong Weizhi to explore and is not in the Great Void, and it is even more likely that he will never return. In this situation, how could anyone else possess the Heavenly Emperor Authority?"

Shou Lao was incredulous and questioned coldly.

"That's right, what kind of methods did you use? To actually be able to simulate His Majesty's Heavenly Emperor Authority? But aren't you looking down on the three of us too much? Do you think you can make us submit just by relying on this simulated Heavenly Emperor Authority?" Fu Lao sneered.

"No wonder you suddenly wanted to take action against the three of us and destroy the Three Immortals Sect. So you had designs on the three of us from the very beginning. What, do you want to subdue us by relying on this Heavenly Emperor Authority?"

Lu Lao said disdainfully.

"Fellow Daoists, you have misunderstood. Is there a possibility that this Heavenly Emperor Authority is real, and that it was given to me by that Majesty you speak of?" Li Heng smiled slightly.

"Do not indulge in wishful thinking; His Majesty is not in the Great Void."

Shou Lao shook his head, and then his tone shifted.

"Even if this Heavenly Emperor Authority is real, so what? Even if you are the second Heavenly Emperor chosen by His Majesty, so what? The Heavenly Court has shattered after all; how can a so-called Heavenly Emperor still be called a Heavenly Emperor?"

"Wake up, the era has changed, and the three of us have also stepped onto a brand-new path. Even if His Majesty were to return at this moment, the three of us would never bow our heads and submit!"

"We have already approached His Majesty's realm!"

The Three Elders of Fu, Lu, and Shou spoke with finality, very resolutely.

"That is truly a bold statement."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty is not dead; although he is not here, these words of yours alone are enough to label you as rebellious subjects who are betraying the Heavenly Court."

"So what if we betray, and what if we don't? The Heavenly Court is gone in the end. Besides, don't think that everyone in the Heavenly Court submitted to His Majesty. You don't think that during the catastrophe of the Heavenly Court's shattering, no one had any opinions about His Majesty not appearing, do you?"

In their eyes, Li Heng should be someone who knows the inside story, so they generously spoke of some secrets from those years to express their dissatisfaction. It is true that if His Majesty were present, they would not dare to say this, but now, isn't His Majesty absent?

"Did you hear that, Heavenly Emperor? These are the thoughts of your subjects."

Li Heng continued to smile, and then the Heavenly Emperor Authority behind him began to evolve and change, communicating with the dark Unknown through a profound and mysterious method, manifesting a figure that appeared both real and illusory, very blurred.

The pupils of the Three Elders of Fu, Lu, and Shou shrank instantly.

This figure... could it be!

Monstrous waves surged in their hearts, and they could not calm down for a long time.

That figure sighed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, please excuse them; however, this is also normal, after all, the three of them have not been honest since before."

"But what surprises me is you, Fellow Daoist; your progress is truly astonishing to me. To have reached this realm in such a short time, and even to be able to discover my hidden hand and communicate with me—remarkable."

His words were filled with endless emotion.

"This is... His Majesty!"

Hearing that familiar tone and feeling this familiar aura, Shou Lao was the first to cry out in horror, and then he shook his head violently, revealing a look of disbelief.

"You Daoist, you actually want to use a fake phantom to fool us!"

"That's right, as His Majesty's former subjects, how could we not distinguish whether this is the real His Majesty or a fake one? You still want to deceive us? You are simply courting death."

"Blaspheming His Majesty, you deserve to die!"

The remaining two elders also spoke one after another, their expressions cold.

Is the figure before them His Majesty? They did not want to know, and even less could they confirm it. They only knew that this figure must not be His Majesty right now, otherwise, they would be finished.

"Look, they are still using your name to threaten me."

Li Heng laughed.

"Conversing with a fake phantom and ignoring us—it seems you are truly arrogant enough to disregard others."

Shou Lao spoke coldly, the Eternal Life Tree manifested behind him, and he unleashed his Weird form; the Eternal Life Tree also became distorted, with heads as fruit, eyes as leaves, tentacles as whiskers, white bones as the trunk, and grave mounds as soil—boundlessly Weird and terrifying.

The other two elders also manifested their own Weird forms. The Golden Ingot Divine Mountain surged with black mud, and the evil god Fu, covered in tentacles and dense eyeballs, was disgusting to look at.

"Is this your path? Having lost the true meaning, it is heartbreaking." The Heavenly Emperor figure sighed, shook his head, and then looked at Li Heng.

"Trouble you, Fellow Daoist, to send them on their way. They have walked into a dead end without knowing it; only by letting them enter Eternal Silence, and returning after countless years of time, can this affliction be eliminated."

Li Heng nodded; he had already intended to do so.

As for what Eternal Silence and returning after countless years of time were, they were truly just nicer ways of saying it; in reality, it was just killing. After all, time flows in units of limited duration; where would "countless years of time" come from?

This is just like the end of the Time-Space Mother River; unless one uses Great Divine Ability and great power to cross the Infinite to reach it, it can be treated as non-existent. However, this can also be considered a fig leaf for the Sacred, especially the Sacred and Indestructible Eternal Dao.

"You three source Weirds are indeed more terrifying and much stronger than this group of Weirds, and I have gained a lot."

Li Heng looked at these three source Weirds and said.

He analyzed many controversies of the Weird Dao from the three Weirds of Fu, Lu, and Shou. Although he did not intend to walk the Weird Dao, some of the true meanings, such as the Chaos Unknown, were worth absorbing and drawing upon.

A collision at this level is inherently a collision of the Great Dao.

And responding to Li Heng were the attacks of the three Weirds of Fu, Lu, and Shou.

The three Daos of Fu, Lu, and Shou were already mysterious and unpredictable, and now they were further Chaos-ized, Unknown-ized, and Terror-ized. At this moment, they were inexplicably Weird, corroding time and space, distorting the World, and pressing down on Li Heng.

Moreover, it seemed to be because of the control of the three Weirds of Fu, Lu, and Shou, those Sacred beings of the Three Immortals Sect who were still alive suddenly lost their sanity, all manifested their Weird forms, and attacked Li Heng.

"I originally wanted to spare your lives, but it seems that is no longer possible."

Li Heng smiled with incomparable sadness.

This was the three Weirds of Fu, Lu, and Shou helping him earn Source Power.

He waved his large hand, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form behind him appeared once again, encompassing all things, broader than the Void, and even more so, the Elephant is formless; the moment it manifested, it directly enveloped all the "Weirds" before him.

"Everyone here is a Supreme, but I am invincible."

Li Heng softly pronounced the verdict, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form began to shrink.....
