In a thundering explosion that shook the heavens, two streaks of Qi Force swept away the dust in an instant, clashing ferociously.
The Six Emperors donned the Xuanhuang Emperor Robe, protected by six Xuanhuang Divine Dragons, with the supreme majesty of the Emperor's Energy forming a canopy, striking against the boundless darkness opposite them.
Before him, opposing the Xuanhuang Emperor Qi was a dark abyss-like presence. Countless Qi Forces entered this darkness, disappearing without a trace, as if vanishing into thin air.
However, this abyss-like darkness bore no hint of malevolence; instead, it conveyed a vast and boundless essence, as if containing another world within, like an internal universe.
Suddenly, countless starlights emerged from the darkness, the resplendent galaxy appearing as if the starry sky had prematurely arrived at this twilight hour.
"Xuanhuang Emperor's Resistance."
The Six Emperors protected themselves with Xuanhuang Energy, with the six Xuanhuang Divine Dragons reverting to an invisible dragon energy that circulated around them, resisting all forces.
"Boom boom boom——"
Starlight struck the Xuanhuang Dragon Qi, erupting into magnificent radiance, momentarily transforming the surroundings as if in the starry sky, imparting a sense of interstellar voyage.
Yet, beneath this superficial splendor, the Six Emperors discerned the lurking crisis, which validated itself in the next moment.
One, two, three...
Countless rays of starlight ignited, but this time, they were not simple light but rather...
"Stars," the Six Emperors blurted out.
It was no wonder he was so impolite; the scene before him was truly astonishing.
Qing Yu hovered in mid-air, surrounded by the Three Emperors, Twenty-Eight Star Constellations, Taiyin, Taiyang, and three hundred and sixty-five stars, each duly situated, forming an immense Star Map encircling him.
These three hundred sixty-five stars, though only the size of heads, contained star power that was indistinguishable from the stars in the sky.
Mystic Universe·Eternal Infinity, the third technique Qing Yu developed after Endless Forever and Boundless Eternity. This technique corresponds to the quality among the universe's Three Elements.
These stars were forged by Qing Yu in the Purple Star River Realm through Eternal Infinity, while the Star Map was Boundless Eternity's mastery over space. The fusion of these two techniques formed this Celestial Stars Map.
"Celestial Stars Map, presented for the Human Emperor's appraisal."
Qing Yu's figure gradually vanished into the Star Map, which unfolded to envelop the Human Emperor, and then...
The opportunity for a star shower ensued.
"Boom boom boom——"
A ten-mile radius was engulfed in starlight, with stars falling, and star power surging, obliterating all within the Star Map.
Qing Yu stood in mid-air, watching the magnificent yet perilous starlight, his eyes hiding a mysterious meaning.
"Eternal Infinity is still not perfect; the Dao is arduous and lengthy, requiring more effort," Qing Yu shook his head slightly.
"However, this technique is sufficient to warn the Human Emperor."
He raised his voice and said, "Human Emperor, please depart; if you attack again, next time, this Celestial Stars Map will unfold in the Heavenly Capital. Then, we'll see if you can protect the citizens of Heavenly Capital."
The Celestial Stars Map, integrating the essence of Boundless Eternity, could result in mass slaughter, and even the unparalleled divine skills of the Human Emperor couldn't stop it. He could only protect himself, unable to safeguard others.
This threat from Qing Yu struck at the Human Emperor's most vulnerable spot, making him hesitate.
Of course, this was based on Qing Yu's strength being comparable to the Human Emperor. If the Human Emperor could kill Qing Yu, he would not hesitate, even if it meant sacrificing a city's populace.
"By the way, one more thing I forgot to inform the Human Emperor: the Demon Buddha and Buddha are two sides of the same coin. The Human Emperor must be cautious."
After speaking, Qing Yu gradually withdrew into the void, disappearing from sight.
A moment later, the starlight was dispelled by an unrivaled force, as the Human Emperor emerged unscathed.
He carefully observed the ground beneath him, feeling the star power permeating the air, an unspeakable apprehension in his eyes. "The star power pollutes the earth and air, rendering this ten-mile area a wasteland, lifeless for years."
In terms of power, while the Star Map was exceptionally mystical, it wasn't without countermeasure. However, regarding environmental devastation, no measure could compare.
"How sinister," the Six Emperors murmured softly.
After finishing, he recalled the message Qing Yu previously conveyed, 'The Demon Buddha and Buddha are two sides of the same coin. This news...'
The Six Emperors transformed into a stream of light, flying toward the Heavenly Capital, abandoning his plans against the Zhenwu Sect.
This war, thus, dissipated.
························
Three periods later, at the battle site between Qing Yu and the Six Emperors.
A phantom door opened, and Xinyuan's figure emerged.
"The battle between Qing Yu and the Human Emperor concluded so hastily. Although Qing Yu unleashed an unprecedented technique, it couldn't impact the grand plan. However..."
Xinyuan recalled the mysterious feeling he had when secretly observing before, "A sense of unease lingers in my heart. In this encounter, aside from this technique, Qing Yu disclosed nothing else, even seemingly withholding his true strength. Did he perhaps... discover this monk's secret observation?"
This was Xinyuan's greatest unease.
Due to past experiences, Xinyuan was well-aware of how skilled Qing Yu was at hiding. This young man lacked the impulsiveness typical of youth, possessing calculations rivaling an old fox and extraordinary patience.
With Qing Yu, one could never be too cautious.
After much consideration, Xinyuan couldn't determine what preparations Qing Yu might have, ultimately deciding to temporarily set aside Qing Yu and accelerate the plan.
"Provoking battles between the Demon Buddha and other warriors to compel repeated battles, allowing him to absorb Buddha's power."
This was the most direct approach, inherently a strategy to cut off the source. Since understanding Qing Yu's trump card was impossible, initiating the plan's final stage seemed preferable.
As long as the Buddha manifested in the world, no matter how many trump cards Qing Yu had, they would be futile.
Deciding thus, Xinyuan reentered the Pure Land to prepare for the next phase of the plan.
························
"Gone, have they?"
Having returned to the Zhenwu Sect, Qing Yu seemed to sense something, turning to look in the direction of the earlier battle.
During his confrontation with the Six Emperors, Qing Yu had already sensed someone's covert observation. Though unaware of the spy's true identity, with some deduction, he was ninety percent certain of who it could be.
"So discreet, even my current senses couldn't detect their identity. It must be Xinyuan, spying from the Pure Land with utmost subtlety."
With the Buddha's Dharma Body overseeing, being seen through would be strange.
Yet, precisely because it couldn't be seen through, Qing Yu was almost certain of the spy's identity. After all, in today's world, only Xinyuan, as Qing Yu knew, could conceal themselves so thoroughly.
