Chapter 966: All the Mythical Characters Appeared
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Within the universe, a figure had appeared. It was about five to six meters tall with a green face and fangs—the typical appearance of what a devil would have looked. Many powerful cultivators had instantly felt a kind of dark aura radiating from him—it was unexplainable as if he was the embodiment of evil itself. Everyone came back to their senses. It was the Lord of Hell, the legendary king of all devils, Satan. Rumor had it that people would have gone insane with only a glance at him, the unspeakable presence.
“So you are the human I’ve heard about from Earth. How unbelievable for such an insignificant planet like Earth to have you around.” Satan eyed Lu Xuan, his expression distant. “I roam through the realms of the infinite between heavens and worlds. Yet, never have I seen such a being like you.” He had his eyes fixed at Lu Xuan—his gaze could make a person with a weak will go berserk. He was the true definition of pure evil.
Lu Xuan had an indifferent expression. He knew what Satan had said was true. It was the real Satan in front of him, but it also wasn’t. In a higher dimension, there was an upper-class world called Hell. In there was a supreme existence, Satan. But in the current physical world, the Hell they had here was merely a projection of the upper-class world of Hell. The Satan in front of him was only one of its projections. Therefore, he was Satan, but he was also not.
Those Divine Mages were marvelously powerful, and with their existence, they could generate projections throughout the infinite worlds and heavens, creating legends of their own in each world. It was completely different from the Luo Chen, who had descended back then—he had done it with his primordial spirit, and fundamentally speaking, it wasn’t Luo Chen. As for Satan’s projection, that wasn’t the case. The real Satan would have paid attention to the Satan right in front of Lu Xuan, and if something had happened, he would have known.
However, that was all. If Lu Xuan had destroyed his projection, it would be reborn again after some time. All because it was not his primordial spirit that had formed it but the power inherent in the skies and lands. As long as Satan’s original form shall not die, his projection would see the day of its rebirth. It was the reason why the legend of Satan had been circulating in many worlds for infinite years.
Lu Xuan had known about this all along. If he had not fallen in his past life, there would have been a projection of him in the infinite worlds and Heavens, growing his legacy. Even if he had not done anything, someone would have his legends and myths circulated and passed on. Still, he didn’t plan to let the “Satan” in front of him off this easily. The rise of Earth was fraught with disasters, and the final tribulations lay in the mythical figures of Heavens.
Lu Xuan saw this coming, which was why he had forced himself to suppress his cultivation. He did not ascend before knowing that he would be getting rid of the final enemy for Earth. And if he didn’t, he knew he would not be able to live in peace. Unlike the Cambion, the projection of the supreme existences like Satan would possess incredible power. They would far surpass any ordinary Immortal Realm elites, being invincible in their realms. For now, only Lu Xuan could be a match against them. Lu Shanshan and the others would have found it troublesome to fight them, not to mention that the enemies had now outnumbered them. For all this time, Lu Xuan had been patiently waiting for them to appear.
The final battle was here—the one battle to determine Earth’s position in the universe. Even if Satan and other supreme figures had their projections reborn, years would be gone before that would happen. And when that time came, no projections would easily overturn Earth again.
“Out now. All of you. Since you’re all here, I believe that you’re not just here to occupy Earth. You’re here for me,” Lu Xuan said. He was staring into the depths of the void of the universe, noticing the shadows. They were the ones with paramount prestige, and Lu Xuan had grown up listening to their stories and myths. But that fact didn’t make him flinch in the slightest bit, for he had interacted with their original forms, let alone their mere projections.
A sighing came. “Indeed, you’re a supreme talent. How unusual for the humans to have someone like you on their side.” A silhouette of an elder steering a golden carriage across the universe had arrived in front of the people. Its figure had looked human-like, engulfed in a ball of golden light, burning like the Sun.
“Ra!” Lu Xuan spoke his name, and the whole world was in an uproar. It was another mythical figure, the supreme God in Egyptian mythology, Ra. People found it hard to believe that such myths existed, yet, they were looking forward to who else would be appearing next.
Following that, with another bell ringing, an opening door had surfaced in the void of the universe. Surrounded by countless angels, a middle-aged man slowly stepped down with a cane. People cried out in surprise. It wasn’t difficult to guess who it was. The answer was obvious—the Almighty God. His believers had tears streaming down their faces, though they had understood and could accept that God was only an elite that was a far supreme being than all of them, his power beyond their imaginations. However, when they had seen God with their own eyes, it had tears flowing down their cheeks.
“Goodness my, we must have used up our luck to have testified the appearance of so many mythical figures.” People were holding their breaths, expectant of the next appearing beings.
Then, another figure materialized. No one could see his face clearly—he was the supreme existence of the universe, and only Lu Xuan could discern his appearance and recognize his occurrence. He was another top-tier God, the deity of absolute oneness—Allah.
“Amitabha. Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.” Along with a chant, a giant Buddha had appeared in the universe. He was tall in hundreds of feet, blotting out the Sun as if he had come in contact with another dimension. His existence was indescribable.
“It’s the supreme Buddha, Sakyamuni. Oh, heaven’s sake, have I lived long enough to have witnessed Sakyamuni with my own eyes? Does that mean that all other mythical figures had also existed all along?” Images of many other mythical figures had flown through their minds.
These were the Big Five—they were all supreme existences, each possessing unimaginable powers, unparalleled. There were even some Immortal Realm elites floating behind them.
Though they and the humans were in the same cultivation, the aura was completely different. The humans in their Immortal Realm had only possessed limited strength. While the Big Five had the backs of these Immortal Realm elites, each of their actions had immense power, and they had the identity of being the supreme existences in the entire universe. In comparison, though the ordinary Immortal Realm elites were strong, they had lacked the charms of having their moves in the Great Path—it was a huge difference.
