"Are you the most mysterious White-Clothed Envoy under the command of the Creation Immortal King from back then?"
The World Inmeasurable King Buddha, the experts of the Dragon Realm, and others were all released from the Three Lives Stone at once. Among them, the World Inmeasurable King Buddha, with his profound cultivation and vast experience, immediately recognized the identity of this masked man in white clothes.
According to the rumors, under the command of the Creation Immortal King, there were two great mysterious envoys, the Black and White Envoys. Along with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, they were all at the highest level. Further down were the ministers such as Chaos, Confusion, Disaster, Slaughter, Lightning Emperor, and Eternity…
If the ancient Heavenly Court were a nation's household, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl would be the Empress, the Black and White Envoys would be the Chief Eunuchs, Hua Heavenly Lord would be the Prime Minister, and the remaining Heavenly Lords would be the various ministers.
In terms of martial prowess, the Black and White Envoys and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl were supreme powerhouses with cultivation levels exceeding ten eras. When this white-clothed masked envoy disappeared, he possessed the cultivation of ten eras, but now he had unexpectedly reached the terrifying supreme level of eleven eras, standing on par with old antiques like the Mother of Heaven and the Master of War.
It was obvious that he had been cultivating in the "Realm Above the Realm" and obtained countless benefits to be able to break through the bottleneck, comprehend the profound mysteries, and elevate his power.
The "Realm Above the Realm" was an extremely dangerous place, but it was also a plane located above the Heavenly Realm, suitable for cultivation.
"World Inmeasurable King Buddha, we meet again. Back then, your cultivation was not inferior to mine, and we stood on equal footing. However, you actually hid your true depths, secretly plotted against the Master of the Sun and Moon, seized his physical shell, and cultivated an avatar outside your body. It is a pity that you could not ultimately fuse with the physical shell. Otherwise, you would be able to impact the peak cultivation of eleven eras just like me."
The White-Clothed Envoy looked at the World Inmeasurable King Buddha and spoke slowly, his tone condescending and carrying a sense of superiority.
"White-Clothed Envoy, did you enter the Realm Above the Realm to cultivate? Where exactly is the entrance to this Realm Above the Realm?" the Lord of the Dragon Realm suddenly said.
"The Realm Above the Realm is not a good place to go." The White-Clothed Envoy waved his hand. "Inside there, demonic beasts with Heavenly Lord level strength travel in packs, and some killing intent flowing out from the Gate of Eternal Life has condensed into monstrosities. With the slightest misstep, a person can be slain. Even I feel like I am walking on thin ice. If something goes wrong and there are changes in the Gate of Eternal Life, the entire Realm Above the Realm will undergo earth-shattering transformations. I am cultivating while standing on a volcano."
What the White-Clothed Envoy said was not wrong. The Realm Above the Realm, positioned above the Heavenly Realm, was indeed beneficial for cultivation, but it was also extremely dangerous, equivalent to a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Because the Realm Above the Realm existed by relying on the Gate of Eternal Life, and the Gate of Eternal Life could suddenly vibrate during the great shattering of the universe. At that time, the Realm Above the Realm would suffer a devastating blow, and even Heavenly Lords would perish.
"What? Lord of the Dragon Realm, Lord of the Buddha Realm, I am telling you to follow Hua Tiandu's arrangements from now on, are you unwilling to do so?" The White-Clothed Envoy looked at the complexions of these people and spoke again.
The World Inmeasurable King Buddha's face was indeed somewhat unsightly. He understood in his heart that he had just escaped the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.
Hua Tiandu's reincarnation body used to be Hua Tiandu, possessing an illustrious reputation, but to the Lord of the Buddha Realm, it was nothing at all. He was merely a junior. Moreover, the Buddha Realm had been at war with the Heavenly Court all year round, and an unknown number of Buddhas had been refined into oil. The enmity between the two sides was as deep as the sea. Now, to have to listen to the arrangements of a junior from the Heavenly Court, it was something that neither the Lord of the Buddha Realm nor the Lord of the Dragon Realm could psychologically accept.
"Humph! I know what you are thinking." Hua Tiandu spoke coldly. "You are not convinced by me? The circumstances are overwhelming. You were almost trapped in the Demon Realm by Fang Han for a sacred sacrifice, directly facing execution. It was I who rescued you from out of the Demon Realm, and yet you are actually still not convinced by me? Then do you want to die? Since that is the case, White-Clothed Envoy, then let us kill a chicken to warn the monkeys. Whoever refuses to submit to me, kill them. Under the skeletons of the Master of Primordial and the Three Lives Stone, leave no one alive."
"That is the only way. There will always be a few who are not afraid of death. I must execute one or two to establish supreme divine majesty."
The White-Clothed Envoy nodded, his gaze sweeping toward the experts of the Three Realms. Immediately, the World Inmeasurable King Buddha and the Eight部 Heavenly Lords all looked extremely grim, yet they dared not say anything. The power of the White-Clothed Envoy, the Three Lives Stone, and the skeleton of the Master of Primordial suppressed them ruthlessly, leaving them without the slightest room for resistance.
"Don't… don't kill us. We are willing to become Hua Tiandu's subjects and serve you at any time. In any case, the Demon Realm has already been destroyed, and we have no fixed place to reside. We might as well defect to a powerful faction, perhaps later you will even take us to cultivate in the Realm Above the Realm." Instead, many of the Demon Lords from the Demon Realm steered with the wind and saw things clearly, immediately showing their intentions of submission to Hua Tiandu.
Several Demon Lords with shallow mana, born within this era or the previous era, even dropped to their knees with a thud, addressing Hua Tiandu as "My Lord."
"Good, very good."
With a sweep of his gaze, Hua Tiandu saw clearly that there were fully seventeen Demon Lords present. Every single Demon Lord possessed vigorous mana, and their demonic energy billowed the heavens. Especially a few of the Demon Lords actually had peak cultivation of nine eras, comparable to Chaos, Eternity, and the others. Having all of them submit to him was a tremendous assistance.
"Although these Demon Lords have defected, they are not reliable. I still need to control the power over their lives and deaths. White-Clothed Envoy, I must trouble you to set up restrictive formations on their bodies. As long as a thought arises in my mind, I can imprison their wondrous arts."
Hua Tiandu spoke again. His scheming was also very deep; how could he directly trust these Demon Lords?
"Not bad, but these Demon Lords all possess profound demonic arts. Wanting to set up restrictive formations on their bodies, even with my mana, would be strenuous and could be secretly refined by them. Fortunately, now I have obtained the first divine artifact of all time, the Three Lives Stone. Relying on the power of the Three Lives Stone, I can control their weak points. Within a single thought, they can be severely injured." The White-Clothed Envoy flicked his finger, and countless talismans flew out from the Three Lives Stone, entirely entering the bodies of these Demon Lords.
Restrictive formations actually had very little effect on Heavenly Lords.
Let alone setting up major techniques on the bodies of Heavenly Lords that controlled life and death. This was even more impossible, unless one was an Immortal King. Even the White-Clothed Envoy would find it difficult to deploy all those restrictive formations to control the cultivation of these Heavenly Lords.
However, with the help of the strongest divine artifact, the Three Lives Stone, setting down the restrictive formations became much simpler.
In an instant, all the experts of the Demon Realm had restrictive formations within their bodies. They profoundly knew the formidableness of the Three Lives Stone, and one by one, they swallowed their anger, currently only able to listen to Hua Tiandu's arrangements.
Hua Tiandu took in all the Demon Realm experts at once, and his strength instantly advanced tremendously. His face revealed an expression of holding the power of life and death, and he once again looked toward the Buddha Realm, the Lord of the Dragon Realm, and the numerous experts.
"With the Demon Realm experts subdued at once, my strength has greatly increased. With the assistance of the restrictive formations, I am not afraid of them turning the world upside down." Hua Tiandu thought coldly. "How about it? World Inmeasurable King Buddha? Eight部 Heavenly Lords? Will you listen to my commands or not? I will also set up restrictive formations within your bodies. From now on, you all belong to me."
"Hua Tiandu, we can submit to you, but you cannot place restrictive formations on our bodies," the Lord of the Dragon Realm said.
"That is impossible!" Hua Tiandu waved his large hand. "I won't believe anyone, especially facing this group of you. Humph! The Dragon Realm and the Buddha Realm are just like the Demon Realm, breaking faith and abandoning righteousness. I do not believe in any promises."
"Hua Tiandu, you are going too far. Could it be that you want our Buddha Realm and Dragon Realm to become your slaves?" An expert Buddha named the Master of Glazed Glass, who possessed cultivation of more than eight eras and could almost compare to the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Lord, naturally could not endure being threatened by Hua Tiandu like this and instantly glared and rebuked angrily.
"Court death!"
Hua Tiandu spoke two words, and then turned to the White-Clothed Envoy: "Please take action and slay this scoundrel."
"This is absolutely necessary. To actually dare question my authority." The White-Clothed Envoy suddenly stood up, struck a hand seal, and immediately the giant skeletal hand of the Master of Primordial grabbed downward through the air. The Master of Glazed Glass valiantly resisted continuously, but all his spell arts were shattered at once. He was captured in that skeletal large hand, and then crushed out of thin air!
"Bang!" An explosion. The Master of Glazed Glass died a violent death. All his power completely entered Hua Tiandu's body. Hua Tiandu's cultivation boiled over, difficult to refine, but the White-Clothed Envoy pointed another finger, and the Three Lives Stone erupted with holy light, thoroughly pacifying the power, making him look radiant and spirited.
"You…" The World Inmeasurable King Buddha was trembling all over, but could do nothing about it. The skeleton of the Master of Primordial and the Three Lives Stone were far too formidable. If it were solely the White-Clothed Envoy, with the cultivation of eleven eras, he could still resist, but with the addition of these two divine objects, he was simply like fine dust.
"I am willing to submit to Hua Tiandu. I hope you will give our Buddha Realm some dignity." Ultimately, after pondering for a long time, the World Inmeasurable King Buddha lowered his noble head.
"Good, good, good." Hua Tiandu was full of high spirits, his mana climbing steadily, and his gaze shifted toward the Dragon Realm.
"I too am willing to submit." The Lord of the Dragon Realm also lowered his head.
"The overall situation is set." Hua Tiandu clapped his hands. The White-Clothed Envoy continuously arranged celestial alignments, writing restrictive formations upon everyone's bodies. Then he detained a trace of the life source vitality from their bodies and struck it directly onto the Three Lives Stone. From then on, as long as one controlled the Three Lives Stone, it was equivalent to controlling the fates of the experts from the Buddha, Demon, and Dragon Realms.
"Good, Hua Tiandu, now I will lend you a helping hand to let you temporarily control the Three Lives Stone and the skeleton of the Master of Primordial. The great event you are to undertake now is also the intention of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl. You are to still enter the Mother Apperance Sect. Relying on controlling the experts of the Buddha, Demon, and Dragon Realms, as well as the Three Lives Stone and the skeleton of the Master of Primordial, you will hide yourself and marry that Master of Splendor, then drain all the cultivation from her body, allowing you to truly take control of everything. When that time comes, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl and I will descend, and together we will besiege the Mother of Heaven to obtain the thirty-three ancient characters! You will then also possess the ultimate power to stand against Fang Han. Do you understand?"
The White-Clothed Envoy's plan was meticulously linked together. He swept his gaze around: "Experts of the Dragon, Buddha, and Demon Realms, since you have submitted to Hua Tiandu, you will each bring out a portion of your Heavenly Lord origin source and make him grow once again."
