Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 406 - 183: Beyond the Heavens

At that moment, Hou Yi had a strange smile on his face, yet the bizarre power within his body surged like tumultuous ocean waves.

"Farewell, everyone!" he said proudly, bending slightly as if saying goodbye to old friends.

"He’s going to kill himself!" Jieyin said softly.

However, when Hou Yi was about to activate the power within his body, he found that he couldn’t move. At that moment, a face appeared in his shadow—it was the face of the Demon Lord.

"Impossible, this power..." Hou Yi’s face showed an expression of disbelief, seemingly shocked by the Demon Lord’s appearance.

He struggled to turn his head, staring in astonishment at the Demon Lord’s face that appeared in the shadow, carefully feeling the power transmitted from his soul.

"Don’t forget, you owe me a favor," the Demon Lord said with a sinister smile.

All Saints remained silent, neither affirming nor denying the words of the Demon Lord, only Jieyin spoke up, "Let’s see what’s in his memory!"

"It’s not easy, there’s a special barrier in his mind. I’ve tried many methods but can’t penetrate deep into his heart," the Demon Lord said softly.

"If only someone could slow down his thoughts."

As soon as the Demon Lord’s voice fell, a deep chime suddenly rang out through the three realms. The time of the entire three realms rippled like the surface of the water, and time seemed to slow down at this moment, with Hou Yi’s thoughts also slowing down immensely.

Hou Yi’s face showed a look of shock, and he thought to himself that something was amiss. Sure enough, a brilliant yet terrifying smile appeared on the Demon Lord’s face. Taking advantage of this temporal difference, he successfully invaded the inner world of Hou Yi, tracing back to the origin.

Soon, Hou Yi’s face showed a painful expression, and his entire visage became incredibly fierce. It was the deep self-defense mechanism of the soul beginning to take effect, as the Soul began to burn, trying to prevent the leakage of information through this method.

However, at this moment, another chime sounded in the sky, his thoughts slowed even more, and the entire burning process also seemed to slow down by dozens of times. This prolonged duration was enough for the Demon Lord to extract all the memories from him.

Soon, the delayed time returned to normal, and the bizarre Soul within Hou Yi instantly burned out. Before his death, he emitted a strange sound that, despite the Saints’ blockade, echoed throughout the three realms. However, a golden Buddha appeared in the sky, sitting on a lotus pedestal, glowing with Buddha Light, and whispering, "Amitabha!"

This chant resonated through the skies, completely covering the strange sound. The beings of the three realms felt a slight dizziness.

Following that, black cracks appeared in the sky, as if some terrifying creatures were trying to break into this world. A painting drifted down from the sky—it was Empress Nuwa’s Map of the Eternal Realm. The map descended from the sky and instantly enveloped the mountains and waters of the three realms, transforming into a spectral reinforcement upon them.

The black spatial cracks were gradually healed by the emerging power, and no trace of them could be seen anymore.

And in the thirty-third heaven, Elder Lord had already continued upwards, riding the Green Ox with a vast trail of Purple Qi behind him.

"Master, do we really intend to break beyond the heavens?" the Green Ox asked, somewhat fearful. After all, for many years, apart from the realm of the Ancestral Master, no one else had dared to set foot there. It had been said that even Transcendent beings had perished in that Chaos, which worried him as he asked.

Elder Lord sat on the Green Ox, composed and seemingly undisturbed by these emotions, and he gently nodded, saying, "Yes, keep moving forward."

They soon reached the edge of the heavens, where a thin wall blocked their path—a barrier protecting this realm. Elder Lord smiled and with a gentle point of his finger, a hole neither too large nor too small appeared, just enough to allow them passage. It was then that they heard someone’s shouts.

Elder Lord turned around and saw a rainbow light descending. The figure of Lord Lu Ya gradually appeared. Elder Lord, with a smile, asked, "I’m not sure whether to call you Lord Lu Ya or Eastern Emperor."

"The Eastern Emperor is dead, in the heavens and earth only Lu Ya remains," Lord Lu Ya slowly said.

"Do you wish to accompany me to see beyond the heavens?"

"Having been schemed against in the past, I have always felt discontent. Not going for a look would inevitably leave flaws in my heart," Lu Ya said with a smile.

Elder Lord nodded lightly, and leading on the Green Ox, was the first to enter beyond the heavens, with Lord Lu Ya following closely. After their departure, the hole in the barrier instantly closed, vanishing without a trace.

Soon, a pitch-dark world appeared before them. Lu Ya chuckled lightly, and suddenly, a tree’s silhouette appeared behind him, entwined with golden flames and seemingly housing nine small birds in various forms—the Innate Spirit Root, Fusang Tree.

The intense blaze illuminated the darkness. It was a desolate space showing no signs of life, with only a few Demon Lords able to survive in such a treacherous environment. However, these Demon Lords had long been secretly moved by the Demon Lord, making this space dangerous beyond compare, even for him.

After walking for a while, they saw the end of this space, a transparent barrier like a glass cover protecting this domain. However, the cover was now full of cracks, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

"Is this the trace left by those creatures when they invaded this realm?" Elder Lord asked, frowning. Even as a Saint, he could clearly sense the strength and fortitude of this barrier, yet even such a strong barrier had been reduced to this state, revealing the terrifying power of those Chaotic Creatures.

"Correct, when Ancestral Master transcended, he attracted their attention, and as a result, this world’s embryonic membrane also cracked. Now, the situation seems even more severe," Lu Ya said, also with a furrowed brow. No one understood better than him the power and strangeness of these beings. Without the protection of this embryonic membrane, this realm would likely be utterly destroyed.

As they were discussing, a terrifying scream came from outside the embryonic membrane, filled with destruction and anger. Soon, a huge creature appeared outside the membrane, its body like a strange ball covered with various tentacles, each tentacle seemingly hanging a corpse of a creature that still carried a powerful aura.

These beings must have been powerful entities in their own worlds, yet now they were merely hanging from the disgusting tentacles, serving as the bizarre creature’s trophies.

A strange and powerful aura instantly enveloped the three realms, seeping in through the dense cracks, seemingly intending to contaminate this realm.
