I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 788: Heretics are wiped out

"Great Heavenly Venerable." The Four Emperors, seeing the Jade Emperor who had personally arrived, hurriedly stood up tremblingly and bowed in respect.

The Jade Emperor looked at the four emperors, who were as withered as emaciated bodies, and with a sweep of his gaze, he discovered that their cultivation and lives were dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.

No, it should be said that they are being eroded. There is an invisible, powerful force that is constantly eroding the cultivation and life of the Four Emperors.

"Sit." The Jade Emperor's voice was calm and majestic, which made the great power that had annihilated the cultivation and life of the Four Emperors tremble.

The Four Emperors sat down again. They no longer possessed their former divine power and now resembled four old men on their deathbeds.

But the Jade Emperor already knew what was going on. He raised his hand and grabbed the power that was eroding the Four Emperors directly from them.

Immediately afterwards, points of mysterious light appeared beneath the Jade Emperor's feet, and the River of Time appeared beneath his feet in the next moment.

The Jade Emperor, accompanied by the Four Great Emperors, traversed the river of time and arrived at a desolate and chaotic place.

At the same time, the Jade Emperor retrieved the lost cultivation and life force of the Four Emperors from the River of Time, and the Four Emperors returned to their peak state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The moment the river of time beneath their feet came to a standstill, the Four Emperors saw six figures.

Two of them were surrounded by mysterious light and their great power was constantly descending, and their target was the Four Emperors.

"Hahaha." The two people in the middle who were displaying their great power stood up. The one on the left cupped his hands and said, "As expected of the Great Celestial Venerable, you actually found this place so quickly."

After saying that, the six figures flashed and formed a battle formation, appearing in three directions from the Jade Emperor and the Four Emperors.

Two people each, holding a battle flag, surrounded the Jade Emperor from each direction.

The Jade Emperor smiled calmly, cupped his hands, and asked, "How shall I address you, fellow Daoists?"

The two people directly in front bowed and said, "We are the Daoist of Destiny (or the Daoist of Fate)."

The two people at the top left bowed and said, "We are the Daoist Ku (Daoist Rong)."

The two people at the top right smiled and bowed, saying, "We are the Righteous Ones (or the Unorthodox Ones)."

The four emperors' expressions hardened, and they all looked at the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "So, the Ancestors of Fate and Fortune, Prosperity and Decline, and Righteousness and Antithesis are all here?"

“Indeed.” The righteous man nodded and said, “We devised this plan specifically to await the arrival of the Great Heavenly Venerable.”

The Jade Emperor nodded, then said to the Four Emperors beside him, "You should all return to the Great Luo Heaven first."

The Emperor Ziwei quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we are here to protect you."

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "They are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. There is no use for you to stay here. You can go back and guard the Heavenly Realm."

The four emperors exchanged glances, then replied in unison, "As you command."

Then the Jade Emperor raised his hand and pointed, intending to send the Four Emperors back.

However, the space around them suddenly shifted, completely sealing off this chaotic land.

The array flags held by the six Dao Ancestors—Destiny, Flourishing and Withering, Right and Wrong—each shone brightly, sealing off all paths of time and space from which they departed.

“Great Celestial Venerable, only one of us six and you five can leave this place unscathed,” the righteous man said.

The Taoist said, "The six of us set up this formation based on our own origins. If the Great Celestial Venerable wants to leave, it's simple. He only needs to defeat the six of us and break this formation."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor burst into laughter, "If that's how it is, then it is indeed simple."

"Hmm?" The six people frowned, exchanged glances, and then the Taoist priest smiled and said, "In that case, please let the Great Celestial Venerable break the formation."

Rong Daoren, Ku Daoren, Zheng Daoren, Fan Daoren, and Yun Daoren all reached out and said, "Then please, Great Heavenly Venerable, break the formation."

"Great Heavenly Venerable, we are willing to be the vanguard," said Emperor Gouchen, directly drawing his sword.

The Ziwei Emperor, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, and the Houtu Emperor also each unleashed their magical treasures, preparing to join the Jade Emperor in breaking through this formation.

However, the Jade Emperor merely raised his hand slightly to stop the Four Emperors. At the same time, the Jade Emperor flicked his finger, and four beams of mysterious light flew up and enveloped the Four Emperors.

"You shall remain here and not move, and shall not disobey my command," said the Jade Emperor.

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's imperial edict, the Four Emperors had no choice but to stand still and acknowledge the order, saying, "As you command."

Then, the Jade Emperor took a step forward, and the immense power of the six Dao Ancestors above instantly pressed down along the formation.

Because the Four Emperors were protected by the Jade Emperor's power, all the power that fell on them was transferred to the Jade Emperor.

The combined power of the six individuals, amplified by this formation, far surpassed its usual strength, and poured down upon the Jade Emperor. The six fundamental forces of righteousness, reversal, decay, prosperity, destiny, and fortune instantly engulfed the Jade Emperor.

However, the Jade Emperor remained unmoved, but suddenly a vast and boundless calamity power surged around him.

"This is... Calamity Power? He cultivates Calamity Power?" the Daoist of Fate exclaimed in surprise.

The righteous Taoist sneered and said to the unrighteous Taoist, "Use the transformation of right and wrong to wear down his tribulation power and transform our place."

“Alright.” The Reversed Daoist responded, then unleashed his Reversed Dao power, instantly reversing and extinguishing the Jade Emperor’s tribulation power.

The calamity surrounding the Jade Emperor vanished instantly, but the righteous cultivator nearby exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! Calamity is upon us!"

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the righteous Taoist, only to see that the endless tribulations had fallen upon him. The righteous Taoist was completely unable to withstand it, and within a few breaths, all his cultivation and power were consumed by the tribulations, and he perished eternally in a very short time.

The Taoist priest who witnessed this scene was horrified, but the tribulation power returned to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The tribulation power on my body is beyond what you can withstand."

"Hmph, let me try." It was Rong Daoren who spoke. He looked at the Jade Emperor and said, "Since the Great Heavenly Venerable likes tribulation power so much, then I will give you more."

After speaking, Rong Daoren's great power covered the Jade Emperor, and the tribulation power around the Jade Emperor instantly surged, increasing hundreds of times in just ten breaths.

Seeing the ever-expanding power of tribulation, the Jade Emperor was not yet afraid, but the fortune teller in the distance was already frightened. "Stop it! He is cultivating the power of tribulation. Aren't you helping him?"

Rong Daoren showed no sign of stopping. "Let's see if he can bear so much tribulation power!" As he spoke, the tribulation power around the Jade Emperor surged dozens of times. Just as Rong Daoren continued to exert his great power to double the tribulation power on the Jade Emperor, the withered Daoren on his right noticed something was wrong. "Not good, there's too much tribulation power."

It turns out that as the power of calamity expanded, a large amount of calamity power began to transform into calamities, and this developed within this formation.

The formation before them began to tremble. They had set up the formation using their own fundamental principles, and now they too were beginning to be affected by the calamity.

Soon, a large number of tribulations filled the formation and entered the formation base. The original power of the five Dao Ancestors began to be impacted by the tribulations. In just a few breaths, the power of the five people was worn down by 20%.

Such a terrifying backlash frightened Rong Daoren into immediately withdrawing his great power, but the tribulation power had already swelled to an extremely terrifying amount.

Just then, the withered Taoist made his move. He unleashed his great power and covered the area, and the calamity power indeed began to diminish under his power.

However, the speed at which the withered Taoist reduced the power of calamity was extremely slow; on the contrary, the speed at which the power of calamity transformed into calamity and eroded the formation was extremely fast.

At this moment, the Daoist had no choice but to take action. He unleashed his great power and began to transform the calamity's power.

The Daoist was able to transform the power of calamity at an extremely fast speed, transforming more than half of it in just three breaths.

However, Yun Daoren was unable to circulate the tribulation power anymore. Instead, all of his own great power had been transformed into tribulation power. Yun Daoren was shocked and hurriedly cried out, "Brother Ming Dao, save me!"

The Daoist of Fate hurriedly tried to use his great power to reverse the fate of the Daoist of Destiny, but it was too late. The Daoist of Destiny's power had already been eroded by the tribulation power he had generated, and all that tribulation power turned into calamity at this moment.

The Fate Master could only watch helplessly as the Fortune Master fell into calamity and vanished forever in an instant.

"Hahaha." The Fate Master stood there blankly, staring at the spot where the Fortune Master had vanished into oblivion, when he heard a loud laugh coming from below.

The Taoist looked down and saw the Jade Emperor standing tall, stroking his long beard and saying, "If one cannot overcome tribulations and calamities, one cannot attain the Way of Eternity."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jade Emperor suddenly pressed down, and the two Dao Ancestors, Ku and Rong, who were directly above him, were instantly suppressed by a magnificent and boundless power. Then, two calamities fell and descended on the two of them respectively. In the blink of an eye, the two Dao Ancestors, Ku and Rong, were banished into eternal silence.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the four Dao Ancestors—Zheng, Yun, Ku, and Rong—were defeated and perished forever. The current formation could not be maintained and was crushed by the Jade Emperor with a single finger.

Time and space resumed their flow, and in this desolate and chaotic land, only the Ancestor of Destiny and the Ancestor of Anti-Destiny remained.

"Look, breaking your formation is very simple, isn't it?" the Jade Emperor said with a smile.

The Daoist of Fate and the Daoist of Rebellion exchanged a glance, then without saying a word, they turned and disappeared into the River of Time.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor turned to the Four Emperors and said, "You should return to the Great Luo Heaven first." Without waiting for the Four Emperors' reply, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and issued a decree, directly sending the Four Emperors back to the Great Luo Heaven.

Then the Jade Emperor stepped into the River of Time and Space, chasing after the Daoist of Destiny. The Daoist of Destiny traveled backward in the River of Time and Space, and actually arrived in the ancient era of the 'Kaihuang Tribulation'.

Then, the Taoist priest bumped into the Jade Emperor, who had just rebuilt the Heavenly Court in this era. Thus, the Jade Emperor from ancient times and the Jade Emperor who came from the reverse of the river of time exchanged a glance from afar.

The Taoist priest was so frightened that he turned and ran away, but then he bumped into the Jade Emperor who was chasing after him.

Thus, the Taoist was captured, and the Jade Emperor of the Kaihuang era glanced at the current Jade Emperor and then laughed, "You've grown old."

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly and said, "How can I not age when I eliminate calamities and nurture all living beings?"

The Jade Emperor of the Kaihuang era looked at the current Jade Emperor, nodded, and said, "You've worked hard."

Having said that, the Jade Emperor of the Kaihuang Era turned and left, resolutely heading towards the predetermined path ahead.

After capturing the Lord of Fate, the Jade Emperor banished him to eternal silence and then searched for the rebellious Daoist in the river of time.

Who would have thought that even after the Jade Emperor went all the way up, he couldn't find any trace of the rebellious Taoist. So he went down the river of time and finally located the rebellious Taoist's aura six hundred years before the havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

But at the same time, another aura appeared here. The Jade Emperor was slightly taken aback. It was Zhuang Yan's aura.

When the Jade Emperor arrived, he saw Zhuang Yan suppressing the rebels. The Jade Emperor asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Shenxiao? What are you doing here?"

When Zhuang Yan saw the Jade Emperor, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to pay his respects. Then, pointing to the rebellious Taoist who had been suppressed by him, he said, "I did not know that the Great Heavenly Venerable was fighting with them. It was only because this person traveled against the flow of time and came to this time and space and bumped into me, who had just entered the world of Pangu from chaos."

As he spoke, Zhuang Yan pointed downwards again. The Jade Emperor looked down and saw a young man who looked exactly like Zhuang Yan struggling to get up from the ground in Lingtai Mountain below.

"Ouch! Who's flying around in the sky like that! They've bumped into your grandpa and it hurts so much!" Zhuang Yan cursed from Lingtai Mountain.

The Jade Emperor laughed heartily, because the future Zhuang Yan had already attained the position of Heavenly Dao, so Zhuang Yan at this moment naturally had the protection of Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, if he had been hit by the Great Luo Golden Immortal, Fan Dao Ren, he certainly wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.

Zhuang Yan glanced down at the Zhuang Yan who had just transformed and entered the mortal realm of Pangu, stood in the sky and bowed to him, then returned to the mortal realm with the Jade Emperor through the river of time.

Upon returning to the mortal world, the Jade Emperor casually banished the heretic to eternal silence.

The two returned to the Great Luo Heaven. Suddenly, the Jade Emperor felt something and appeared in the mortal world with Zhuang Yanfei, looking down at Pangu's appearance.

The appearance of Pangu was even more magnificent than before, and the world was more prosperous and complete, without any flaws.

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The Heavenly Dao is complete. It seems that all the heretical Great Luo Immortals who infiltrated Pangu's world have been exterminated. Next, it will be the Dao Lords in the Chaos."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Those Dao Lords all hold positions in the Heavenly Dao, and I'm afraid Laozi and Tathagata wouldn't be able to deal with them. Moreover, those Dao Lords haven't shown themselves yet, and they probably didn't expect us to wipe out those heretical Grand Luo Golden Immortals so quickly."

The Jade Emperor smiled calmly, then looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "If the enemy doesn't come, I will go myself. Fellow Daoist Zhuang Yan, would you be willing to help me?"

Zhuang Yan immediately cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to assist the Great Heavenly Venerable in pacifying chaos and eliminating the Dao Lords of all sides."

"Very well." The Jade Emperor laughed, "In that case, we can ask Laozi and Buddha to oversee Pangu's appearance in the world, while the two of us enter the chaos and annihilate the Dao Lords of all sides."

Zhuang Yan nodded emphatically and said, "Okay."

Subsequently, the Jade Emperor and Zhuang Yan returned to the Great Luo Heaven and sent a message to Laozi and Tathagata, who were still searching for the heretical Great Luo.

The four gathered once again in the Jade Palace of Taiwei Yuqing Palace. The Jade Emperor first told Laozi and Tathagata about the destruction of the six Dao Ancestors of Positive and Negative, Withering and Flourishing, and Destiny.

Subsequently, the Jade Emperor informed Laozi and Buddha of his plan to go to Chaos with Zhuang Yan to eliminate the various Dao Lords. Although Laozi and Buddha expressed their concerns, they ultimately chose to follow the Jade Emperor's arrangements.

Therefore, Laozi and Tathagata helped the Four Emperors to guard the world where Pangu appeared, while the Jade Emperor and Zhuang Yan left the world where Pangu appeared and entered the chaos. Before the various Dao Lords could react, they launched a preemptive strike against them!

After all, it would be difficult to deal with these Dao Lords once they all reacted and gathered together, but if we could strike first and defeat them one by one before they could react, the chances of victory would be much greater. (End of Chapter)
