#931 - Turn curse into merit!
At that moment, there were still quite a few people left in the Heavenly Court who could witness this earth-shattering battle. Besides Qin Changqing, there were also his children with considerable strength, as well as Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and other ancient deities.
Even Sun Wukong and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces filled with horror at such a shocking battle.
The power of a Celestial Venerable was already the pinnacle of this world, capable of shaking and even destroying a realm.
This kind of power was enough to suffocate even the gods!
“Will Goddess Nüwa be alright?”
Sun Wukong's fiery golden eyes pierced through the void, allowing him to see even more clearly than the others.
“I didn’t expect that after the Heavenly Emperor stepped into the Celestial Venerable realm, his strength would be so powerful. He can withstand the combined forces of Nüwa and Bodhi without losing ground. It’s simply terrifying!”
如来 (Rulai, i.e., the Tathagata Buddha) clasped his hands together, his eyes also flashing with shock.
“To be able to achieve this, the Heavenly Emperor must have mastered more than a hundred Great Daos and integrated the origin of the Heavenly Court into himself. Relying on many innate advantages, he can achieve this!”
Yang Jian's third eye opened, filled with red light, but he didn't dare to delve deeper into the battlefield.
“A hundred Great Daos…”
Qin Changqing's gaze was deep, and he also revealed a look of surprise.
Qin Changqing stared at the Heavenly Emperor in the field, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Due to the existence of the system, he had already mastered a full thousand Great Daos. Once he became a Celestial Venerable, he would definitely be one of the most powerful among the many Celestial Venerables!
You should know that Nüwa and Bodhi had only mastered a hundred Great Daos, which was equivalent to a hundred portions of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
And he, once he stepped into the Celestial Venerable realm, would immediately master a thousand portions of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Although he still couldn't compare to the Three Pure Ones, crushing the current Heavenly Emperor, Nüwa, and Bodhi would be no problem at all.
“I wonder if my current strength is enough for the power of the curse to be effective…”
Qin Changqing looked at the tense battlefield and his mind stirred slightly.
Although it seemed that the Heavenly Emperor was evenly matched with Nüwa and Bodhi.
But in reality, the Heavenly Emperor had just stepped into the Celestial Venerable realm, his realm was not yet stable, and he was fighting two opponents at once. As time went on, he would inevitably be defeated.
But it wouldn't be easy for Nüwa and Bodhi to keep the Heavenly Emperor.
If the Heavenly Emperor forcefully left, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
What Qin Changqing wanted was the Heavenly Court and the origin of the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Emperor ran away, wouldn't he have come for nothing!
He absolutely wouldn't allow this to happen!
Thinking of this, Qin Changqing silently opened the system's curse function, then locked the target on the Heavenly Emperor and unhesitatingly spent one trillion years of lifespan.
After all, he was only a god now. To attack the Heavenly Emperor in the Celestial Venerable realm, the lifespan required increased exponentially. He didn't know if one trillion years of lifespan would be enough.
“Nüwa, Bodhi, you two are no match for me!”
Although the Heavenly Emperor was already feeling a bit strained, he still maintained an arrogant posture, propping up a golden ocean, wanting to take Nüwa and Bodhi into it and suppress them.
At the same time, the power of origin transformed into countless threads, entangling the two, and the rumbling divine light reversed, making people palpitate.
“Heavenly Emperor, it’s time to end this!”
Nüwa and Bodhi had already clearly felt that the Heavenly Emperor's divine power was showing signs of exhaustion, and the power of origin was also showing a decline. They immediately no longer hesitated, and both attacked. The five-colored divine glow sprinkled across the sky, and tangled with Bodhi's horsetail whisk to seal the void, transforming into a large net, wanting to lock the Heavenly Emperor in.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed slightly, secretly gritting his teeth. He naturally understood his current situation.
The attack just now was just a bluff, wanting to use this to force the two back and take the opportunity to escape.
Anyway, he had already become a Celestial Venerable, and the origin of the Heavenly Court was also on him. As long as he could escape and hide his aura, the Three Pure Ones might not be able to find him.
But his plan was obviously seen through by Nüwa and Bodhi, and they didn't give him this chance at all, directly wanting to completely seal off the surrounding void.
“Want to keep me, dream on!”
The Heavenly Emperor coldly snorted. The golden ocean around his body suddenly shrank, and the threads in the surrounding sky also suddenly transformed into a semi-transparent, crystalline Dharma boat, hovering in front of him. The shuttle-shaped boat body trembled constantly, seemingly ready to break through the void and leave at any time.
“This is my Heavenly Court. If I want to leave, what use is it for you to seal the void!”
The Heavenly Emperor laughed wildly, stepping onto the Dharma boat and about to escape into the void.
“Not good!”
Bodhi's expression changed: “If we can’t keep him now, it will be difficult to find him again with the concealment of the origin of the Heavenly Court!”
Nüwa also knew this, and at the same time attacked, releasing five-colored divine glow, wanting to keep him.
But as the Heavenly Emperor said, he controlled the origin of the Heavenly Court, and this was the Heavenly Court, his territory, occupying a unique geographical advantage. Otherwise, how could he have been able to fight Nüwa and Bodhi to a draw just now?
The Dharma boat transformed from the origin of the Heavenly Court directly broke through the void sealed by Nüwa and Bodhi with divine glow, forcibly tearing open a passage and about to escape.
However, at this moment, the Heavenly Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and an incomparably horrified look appeared on his face.
“What’s going on?”
The Dharma boat under his feet suddenly began to vibrate violently, and the void he had just torn open instantly healed.
Above the Heavenly Emperor's head, a figure completely wrapped in golden light suddenly rose, looking incomparably dazzling and sacred.
“What’s going on?”
Nüwa and Bodhi, who had come to pursue, were also a little stunned at this moment: “Why did he manifest his merit golden body?”
“Look, there seems to be something wrong with his merit golden body!”
Nüwa's gaze condensed.
Celestial Venerable Bodhi also noticed.
Only to see that at the top of the Heavenly Emperor's merit golden body at this moment, there was actually an extremely small cluster of black flames.
This flame was tightly attached to the merit golden body like a maggot on a bone, constantly burning, scorching, and tearing at the merit golden body.
The Heavenly Emperor raised his head and roared, and the merit golden body also raised its hand, wanting to flick away the flame, but was horrified to discover that as soon as his finger touched the flame, his fingertip was also stuck to it and began to burn fiercely.
“What is this thing?”
The Heavenly Emperor let out a heart-wrenching scream.
It was clearly just a small cluster of flames, but it made him feel unparalleled pain.
This strange flame seemed to be burning his entire soul away.
“What kind of flame is this, that it can actually burn the merit golden body!”
Nüwa and Bodhi were also filled with horror when they saw this scene, and seeing the Heavenly Emperor's strange state, they didn't dare to approach at all!
