Chapter 615: Chapter 51: Haotian Achieves Enlightenment, 4 Bodies Merge into One, The Celestial Realm is Dead

Amitabha Buddha let out a slight sigh of relief. Despite his shattered body, he felt the three forces of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity gathering around him, and a smile appeared on his face.

’It’s just a shame about that half an Illusory Dao Fruit Embryo...’

He felt a twinge of regret, then took a step into the Nine Nether. His colossal Buddha body nearly filled the entire realm.

Under the boundless radiance of his Buddha light, within the Underworld, Ghost Soldiers and yin souls were converted one after another and began to take refuge in him!

Even the already heavily wounded Emperor Fengdu began to show a compassionate expression under the Buddha’s light, his hands starting to press together in prayer!

It was so in the Nine Nether, so in the Human World, and so too in the Celestial Court.

"Yu Yu."

Amitabha Buddha whispered, pointing a finger.

VMMMM!

Empowered by the three forces of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, his strike unleashed a power approaching that of a Perfect Dao Fruit. Yu Yu Daoist, wielding the Qing Ping Sword, was struck as if by lightning. He was thrown back violently, coughing up mouthfuls of blood!

"A day has passed."

Amitabha Buddha said coolly,

"Hand over the Six Paths of Reincarnation, or I will destroy this avatar of yours and take them myself."

"Is that so?"

Yu Yu Daoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His gaze was profound as he abruptly changed the subject.

"How about we make a deal?"

"What?" Amitabha Buddha frowned.

Yu Yu Daoist placed the Qing Ping Sword over the Six Paths of Reincarnation, as if threatening to destroy them, and said coolly,

"Uniting the three forces of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity to establish the Three Dukes... a grand idea. I want a piece of the pie. The Earth Duke’s Position, or I destroy the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Amitabha Buddha’s expression changed. Yu Yu Daoist, wielding the Qing Ping Sword, was capable of reopening Heaven and Earth—what was destroying the Six Paths of Reincarnation to him?

The Six Paths of Reincarnation seemed to crack under the edge of the Qing Ping Sword, letting out a mournful cry.

Amitabha Buddha had no time to ponder why an avatar of a Dao Fruit would want the mere Earth Duke’s Position. He nodded decisively.

"Done! I will give you the Nine Nether. You shall be the Earth Duke of the great dynasty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three forces of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity trembled slightly. His Words Became Law, and the grand decree was set.

A smile appeared on Yu Yu Daoist’s face.

"Xiaoxuan, he really did agree."

"Then... strike." Hongjun Daoist’s voice echoed from a certain possibility in the future.

Amitabha Buddha froze, alarm bells screaming in his mind. ’Hongjun, Xiaoxuan, Profound Clarity... the Innate Uncertain Number!!’

A terrible premonition surfaced in his heart. A chill ran down his spine, his scalp tingling with dread. He was about to strike immediately, to annihilate Yu Yu and the Hongjun hiding in the future!

「The next instant.」

Yu Yu laughed heartily, drawing his sword. The blade turned toward...

The Nine Nether.

He didn’t strike the Six Paths of Reincarnation, nor did he strike Amitabha Buddha. Instead, he struck at the Nine Nether!

The entire Nine Nether let out a mournful cry. It began to shatter and break apart, being annihilated bit by bit under the Qing Ping Sword!

"You’re insane!" Amitabha Buddha’s expression changed, his heart filled with shock and suspicion. He was about to take the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but then he heard a deafening roar from the infinite heights above!

He looked up in astonishment.

His gaze pierced through the void, and he saw, within the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms, Haotian taking the Heaven-Opening Banner from Lu Xiuyuan’s hands. Half of an Illusory Dao Fruit Embryo floated out from it.

In Haotian’s own hand, another half of an Illusory Dao Fruit Embryo also appeared. The embryos combined, forming a single, complete half of an Illusory Dao Fruit!

Haotian’s aura surged. In less than an instant, he had returned to the realm of the [Enlightened One].

He brandished the Heaven-Opening Banner, his voice shaking the nine heavens.

"By the authority of my position as Celestial Duke, I shall sunder the Celestial Realm."

"The Celestial Realm is dead!"

RUMBLE!

The Nine Nether collapsed, the Celestial Vault split in two. With the heavens fractured and the earth damaged, the Great Will of Heaven and Earth was wounded, and the [Heavenly Dao and Earthly Virtue] were enraged!

The Celestial Duke struck the Celestial Vault, the Earth Duke struck the Nine Nether, making the heavens collapse and the Nine Nether shatter. With heaven fractured and earth damaged, the Great Will sent down infinite sin!

The sin pointed directly at Amitabha, for he had established all Three Dukes.

Nominally, Haotian and Yu Yu were both his subordinates!

Amitabha Buddha’s heart filled with horror. He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, but then his expression calmed.

"Such a scheme... is useless."

He was now approaching the level of Perfection. The sin from the fractured heavens and damaged earth, which would have once easily struck him down and utterly destroyed the Western Pure Land, now only managed to severely wound him!

Amitabha Buddha struck out at Yu Yu, revealing his true form. He stood upon the crumbling Nine Nether, the collapsed Celestial Vault above his head, his Buddha light illuminating all worlds and all realms!

"Useless!"

He roared.

Suddenly, a sigh was heard.

"The Celestial Realm is dead..."

Hongjun Daoist solidified bit by bit, taking a Great Banner from Zhuge Kongming’s hands and shaking it fiercely.

The Profound Purity Realm slowly coalesced, transforming into the Supreme Profound Clarity, who said with a smile:

"The Celestial Realm is dead."

The Profound Yellow Emperor Venerable arrived in a True Phoenix Chariot, surrounded by thousands of Qingyun, and stated calmly:

"The Celestial Realm is dead."

From within the collapsing Nine Nether, Nine Nether emerged and said faintly:

"The Celestial Realm is dead."

The four figures walked to the same spot. Under the horrified gazes of the Daluo and the terrified stares of the Dao Fruits, they slowly...

...merged together.

Four becoming one.

The Immortal Mother spoke in a daze:

"So that’s how it is."
