Chapter 275: Heavenly Mechanism Great Change, All Other Shores Astonished

Immortal Emperor.

The strongest one who stands at the top of the cultivation system of the three-part world is the ultimate existence that has taken an evolutionary path to its end.

Therefore this realm is also called the End-of-the-Path Level, representing the pinnacle of cultivation.

Even the transcendent realm of Sacrificial Dao, which is the utmost sublimation of the End-of-the-Path Immortal Emperor, essentially remains within the End-of-the-Path Immortal Emperor realm and does not truly surpass it.

As for the realm above Sacrificial Dao, it burns everything to ashes and then revives from extinction, almost certainly tantamount to suicide.

This can be considered a Schrödinger's state; whether one can achieve this realm depends entirely on luck.

Of course, Feng Yi is still far from reaching the realm above Sacrificial Dao, so for now there's no need to think too much about it.

Now, he is about to truly step onto the end of his own path and condense his own Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.

Through the fusion and accumulation of the cultivation systems of all heavens, Feng Yi has already extrapolated his Dao Fruit to its limit, and his cultivation has long reached the peak of the Dao Ancestor realm, lacking only the final ultimate leap.

Now, as the Human Emperor's form arrives at the Other Shore, he completely releases the suppression of his own qi, operates the deduced Immortal Emperor Dharma, and begins to transform his Dao Fruit toward the level of Immortal Emperor Fruition.

Taihao, Fu Huang, Human Emperor.

Three completely different yet mysteriously linked Other Shore Dao Fruits emerge from Feng Yi's spirit, surrounding his soon-to-be-transformed Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.

Countless insights into the Great Dao emerge from these three Other Shore Dao Fruits, continually merging into his innate true spirit, merging with his own insights, continually perfecting his path and elevating his Emperor's Dharma.

And as these three Other Shore Dao Fruits converge, they seem to complete Feng Yi's essence, making his qi ever more lofty and remote, and his Dao Fruit begins to undergo the most essential elevation and transformation.

Boom—

Like the sound of the heavens opening, a roar echoes within Feng Yi's body; his essence, energy, and spirit begin to undergo an immensely intense transformation, faintly carrying the qi of eternal indestructibility.

This transformation differs from the transcendence of suffering upon reaching the Other Shore; it is an all-encompassing, fundamental enhancement from within outward.

If reaching the Other Shore is a way of using one's condensed Dao Fruit to ascend dimensions, bringing oneself near the Dao to overlook the river of spacetime, then achieving the End-of-the-Path Immortal Emperor is a complete focus on one's own power, making oneself strong enough to ignore all external forces and forcibly break the river of spacetime.

Although their final results may be similar, the methods used are completely different, making their final manifestations also completely different.

This also relates to the environments of the two sides of the heavens: one from top to bottom, seeking the Dao, focuses on mastering rules and principles; the other from bottom to top, seeking survival, focuses on enhancing combat power.

There is no superiority; it's merely a matter of different inclinations.

At this moment, Feng Yi's Dao Fruit continually draws insights into the Great Dao from the three Other Shore Dao Fruits, thereby condensing an Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit of extreme strength.

He has a premonition that once his transformation is complete and he attains Immortal Emperor Fruition, it will certainly not be as simple as an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

Almost at the very moment Feng Yi's true self chooses to attain the Immortal Emperor position, boundless white light illuminates all heavens and penetrates all realms.

The Human Emperor's form also broke through the final calamity of reaching the Other Shore, the eternal nothing, producing the 'Illuminating the Ten Directions' Other Shore phenomenon, truly arriving at the Other Shore.

Within the boundless light, strange colors suddenly appear between heaven and earth; boundless humanity's radiance gathers, condensing into page after page of water-sage-virtue-like sheets.

At the same time, there are also phenomena such as Five Virtues Forming a Phoenix, Chronicle of Ages, Universal Transformation Scripture, and All Immortals Welcoming, more numerous than the Great Dao phenomena when the Green Emperor reached the Other Shore.

After the appearance of the third type of Other Shore phenomenon, the Human Emperor's form steps out from the emptiness of two epochs, and a beginningless and endless river of time coils around his side.

Thereafter, just as with the Green Emperor's form, the Human Emperor's form likewise penetrated the previous epoch, returned to its end time, attained the fifth type of Other Shore phenomenon, and beheld Yuanshi!

Journey to the West World.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Tusita Palace.

The Dao-robed old man on the Cloud Bed suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a rare hint of surprise, no longer the previous calm.

"This is."

In the old man's eyes, countless universes arise and perish, reflecting a lofty and transcendent river of fate, branching into countless different future streams.

However, all future streams eventually merge into one, leading to a single outcome: the epoch's destruction and all things returning to oblivion.

But at this moment, the river of fate suddenly splits into an extremely special branch, causing all futures to undergo unprecedented unknown changes, no longer merely ending in a single outcome.

Within this special branch, a towering and majestic human figure faintly rises.

Behind this figure hang nine dazzling mysterious light rings, with the Yi Dao Taiji as core and eight light rings as framework, constantly rotating, like an all-encompassing Taiji Bagua diagram.

As the nine light rings continuously rotate, the figure's interior emanates a vast power that penetrates all heavens and myriad worlds, as if standing above the heavens, governing the wheel of the Great Dao of all heavens.

Even the Other Shore heavenly will that transcends suffering appears diminutive before this majestic figure.

And as this majestic figure rises, a tremendous roar erupts from an unknown high place near the Dao, like the primordial sound; the source of all heavens and worlds is imprinted with an unprecedented trace of the Great Dao, or rather a special heretical Other Shore path.

"No wonder."

The Dao-robed old man's eyes showed a hint of understanding, and he calmly said: "The source is not on Fellow Daoist Fu Huang, but on this mysterious fellow daoist, Amituofo."

Saying this, his eyes showed a hint of contemplation, as if muttering: "Fuxi."

He glanced toward the directions of Vacuum Homeland, Demon Emperor Palace, and Golden Turtle Island, and the Dao-robed old man's face showed a faint smile: "Now I understand."

The moment his words fell, he seemed to have received some information, smiled, nodded, and said: "If so, then I will wait for you."

The moment his words fell, the Dao-robed old man's heart stirred, and the Taiji shadow within Fu Huang's body vanished.

After doing all this, the old man narrowed his eyes toward the Real World, yet made no extra movement.

Hum

The Western Pure Land World resonated with an illusory hollow sound; this pure land spanning billions of kalpas trembled violently, and the reclining Golden Body Buddha suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Amituofo could no longer maintain his original compassionate and serene appearance, but wore a face of sorrow, directly gazing at the Real World.

"Now I understand."

In Amituofo's eyes, Buddha light swirled as he softly said: "Compassion, compassion, it turns out that fellow daoist was the cause of Fu Huang's change back then; I never expected that I, too, had been led astray by obsession, failing to see the truth—may blessings be, may blessings."

The moment his words fell, Amituofo pressed his palms together, Buddha light swirling around him, emitting the most ancient and ancient complete qi.

Within boundless Chaos, the Taiji shadow within Fu Huang's body and the Buddha light almost simultaneously dissipated.

Hum

The next moment, Fu Huang's form slowly opened his eyes, ten black-and-white points of light circulating around him, enacting the yin-yang five elements and the principle of heavenly mechanism and great derivation.

"Many thanks, Golden Emperor fellow daoist, for your assistance!"

Gazing at the full, bright moon before him, the Fu Emperor bowed with clasped hands and said, "The favor of your assistance, Dao friend, I shall never forget."

The bright moon was pure and yet hazy; within it, faintly, a pair of lofty eyes containing all possibilities appeared, and at the same time a sacred and refined voice sounded: 'Fellow Daoist, after your true self attains the Dao, I hope you will come to the True Void homeland for a visit.'

Fuxi's avatar nodded, saying: 'Fellow Daoist, rest assured; when the time comes, my true self will definitely come to visit and thank you for your help.'

Upon hearing these words, the figure within the pure round moon seemed to nod, then directly turned into specks of light and vanished into Chaos.

Seeing the round moon disappear, Fuxi's avatar's eyes flickered slightly, then with a movement of his feet he also left this place of Chaos.

Boom!

From the depths of the Nine Nether came a tremendous roar; countless dark‑red reversed swastika symbols circulated, the self‑satisfied look on the Demon Buddha's face vanished, and he rose to his feet.

He had thought he had schemed against everyone, using the Human Emperor's opportunity to reach the Other Shore to refine the Nine Nether.

He hadn't expected that he himself was actually within someone else's scheme.

Gazing at the newly emerged future tributary in the River of Fate, the Demon Buddha instantly understood everything.

His gaze icy, he looked upon the Fusang Realm, yet dared not step a single foot out of the Nine Nether.

At this critical moment of refining the Nine Nether, he could not leave for a while, or else all his prior efforts would be wasted.

Fuxi.

A mad and icy voice echoed in the depths of the Nine Nether.

In the Bodhi Pure Land, a sigh sounded.

The ancient Bodhi Buddha gazed toward the Fusang Realm with feeling, letting out a deep sigh.

He hadn't expected that even the Human Emperor was not the source; the true source is this mysterious fellow Daoist!

"A fellow Daoist never heard of before, a brand‑new path."

"No wonder the Heavenly Emperor and the others suddenly underwent such a great change; the hidden secret here is indeed enormously large."

"Fuxi?"

A slightly confused voice sounded; the ancient Bodhi Buddha seemed to have received some information, after a moment's thought, the light of wisdom flowed around his body, carrying a sense of pure extinction, perfect and flawless.

He held nothing back anymore.

Boom

The Azure‑Gold Giant Buddha Palm, sealed by the combined power of the Light‑Shadow Blade and the Demon Saint Spear within a newly opened realm of heavens, blazed forth; its energy surged, it shattered that heavenly realm, changed direction, and fell toward the Fusang Realm.

Jade Emperor Mountain.

Before the majestic and divine statue of the Heavenly Emperor, the gaze of the Light‑Shadow Heavenly Emperor was deep yet slightly vacant.

Now all of this completely surpassed his imagination.

"Is this fellow Daoist truly the true outsider?"

A strange expression flitted across the Heavenly Emperor's face; for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or to laugh.

After finally placing trust in someone once again, such a mishap occurred.

"Ah, I hope I haven't misplaced my trust this time!"

Now completely bound to the other party, he could not get off the boat; he could only go down this road to the bitter end.

At the instant that thought settled in his mind, seeing the ancient Bodhi Buddha's movement, the Light‑Shadow Heavenly Emperor shifted his feet and instantly appeared atop the Jianmu tree at the highest layer of the Nine Heavens.

Hum

With the appearance of the Light‑Shadow Heavenly Emperor, the formerly withered Jianmu divine tree instantly blazed with light, as if restored to its former glory.

The Light‑Shadow Heavenly Emperor's energy merged with the Jianmu divine tree, temporarily regaining the authority and laws of the Nine Heavens, and his energy rose once more.

Clang

A ripple like water flowed across the Light‑Shadow Blade, and the whole world seemed to lose its color.

The blade's light was like water, ethereal and unfathomable, and it fell directly onto the Azure‑Gold Buddha Palm.

In an instant, the Azure‑Gold Buddha Palm seemed to fall into boundless void‑time, continually descending forward yet never able to reach its target.

At the same time, the Phoenix‑Wing Black Gold Spear seemed to change masters, transforming into a splendid phoenix bearing the Five Virtues, its surrounding Five Virtues implements circling it, and it flew straight into the Azure‑Gold Buddha Palm, colliding with it.

The three held nothing back; at the moment of contact, the myriad heavens trembled and darkened, as if turning directly into illusory bubbles.

Their contest was not limited to the real world but spread throughout boundless time and space, the entirety of the myriad heavens.

With the disappearance of the vision of the Primordial, the myriad heavens underwent yet another change.

Endless Human Dao radiance rose, and suddenly a phantom world appeared above the myriad heavens, lofty and hazy, causing all beings to feel an inner stirring, as if they had beheld their final destination.

This world was entirely forged from Human Dao radiance, bearing an eternal, unique immortal energy, continually drifting upward, unstained by dust, untouched by the sea of suffering, destined to lead all sentient beings out of suffering and into eternity.

In this world there are no Nine Heavens towering above all, nor Nine Nether realms below; there is only one eternal, immortal Human Dao Paradise that embraces all.

Sixth Category of the Other‑Shore Phenomenon: Eternal Human Dao!

No such Other‑Shore phenomenon has ever been attested!

This is the Dao of the Human Emperor's incarnation, and also the path he will walk in the future.

Seeing this, many mighty divine abilities in the myriad heavens instantly understood the Human Emperor's road—a special path entirely different from the Dao‑fruit path.

This is taking all karma upon oneself, completely abandoning the transcendent Human Dao path.

This thought arose in their minds; even if they could not comprehend it, they could not help but feel admiration for the Human Emperor's will.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha."

Just then, a series of mighty Buddha names suddenly rose from each node of the River of Time, transforming into corresponding images of Amitabha Buddha.

They surged forth from the beginning of all ages, as if forming an ocean of Amitabha Buddhas, finally converging into the complete manifested body of Amitabha Buddha.

At the same time, a twelve‑petaled blue lotus flew out of the boundless Chaos, united with the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and became the complete recompense body of Amitabha Buddha.

The sense of emptiness of myriad realms circulated, and the entirety of the myriad heavens seemed to turn into illusory bubbles.

A sixteen‑foot golden figure appeared between heaven and earth, radiating boundless Buddha light—limitless light, limitless life, limitless divine abilities.

The complete Dharma body of Amitabha Buddha also appeared between heaven and earth.

Manifested body, recompense body, Dharma body.

Amitabha Buddha himself attained the Dao by means of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, this perfect reward-realm pure land, and then further cultivated his Dharma-body and Response-body to perfection.

Precisely by having fully perfected the Dharma, Reward, and Response bodies, He was able to trace back to the non-existence before the opening of all ages, becoming the sole most ancient one apart from the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, the Dao Venerable and the Buddha Ancestor perhaps also reached the realm of the most ancient one before their transcendence.

At this moment, faced with the sudden appearance of a change far beyond his expectations, Amitabha Buddha held back nothing, fully manifesting his Dharma-Reward-Response three bodies.

In the Tushita Palace.

The old man in Daoist robes looked calmly at this scene, without intention to intervene, but rather with slight interest gazed upon the Fusang realm.
