The Fire of Human Nature
Chapter 1716 The Fire of Humanity
Ah Chou was dragged by one of his legs by her, with his head on the ground, bumping around on the ground of the Underworld of the Yuanjie.
He did not suffer any injuries. The powerful Karma Fire Golden Body healed all the injuries on his physical body. His soul was also extremely powerful, and could be said to be the most powerful spirit in the world.
But he seemed to have been the most seriously injured.
Xu Tianzun's words and actions seemed to be the most powerful magical powers, which penetrated into his heart of Tao, and transformed his expectations of becoming a human being and his expectations of family affection into karmic fire that tormented himself!
This was the karmic fire of the human world that he had always dreamed of. It concentrated human emotions, but when it burned it was so painful and heartbreaking.
If he can make it through, he will become an enlightened person on the Netherworld Avenue, achieving an accomplishment that even Tu Bo in his previous life could not dream of.
But if he cannot survive, he and his soul will be turned into ashes in the fire.
At this moment, what Achou was thinking about was not whether he could achieve enlightenment, but the relationship between him and his daughter.
With every thought he had, the karmic fire became more severe and the pain became more intense. He had endured endless karmic fire in the past eight hundred thousand years. It was the karmic fire from all living beings in the heavens and myriad worlds, which refined his karmic fire golden body.
Although those karmic fires tormented him, they also made him successful. He could endure it.
However, the karmic fire from family affection struck the deepest weakness of his heart of Taoism so fiercely that he could not bear it!
The most weakened link in Achoudao's heart is the karmic fire from the father-daughter love, and he cannot resist this karmic fire.
This is also the reason why Qin Mu has always let You Tianzun fight Xu Tianzun and avoided letting Achou meet Xu Tianzun.
Because Qin Mu knew that Achou's affection for Xu Tianzun had become his last inner demon. He had been looking forward to it for 800,000 years, and the purpose of using the karma fire of all living beings to refine his golden body was also for the father-daughter relationship. How strong was his obsession?
The stronger the obsession, the more terrifying the karmic fire will be, and it might even burn Tu Bo to ashes!
Xu Tianzun dragged Achou's body step by step towards the Lanfeng Valley in Yankang. The sacred cities in the Lanfeng Valley floated in the sky, and the majestic passes stretched for thousands of miles, like a barrier blocking the ground.
Looking there from the Youdu of the Yuanjie, both the sacred city and the pass became illusory, like a shadow play projected onto a screen, shaking endlessly.
The Youdu of the Yuanjie and the Yuanjie are in overlapping space. Xu Tianzun can see the Yankang soldiers guarding the Lanfeng Valley, their life and death treasures, their physical bodies and souls.
As for Yankang, only those who have cultivated special divine eyes or have deep attainments in the way of Youdu can see Youdu and Xu Tianzun.
Youdu is so wonderful.
If the demons and monsters from Youdu invade Yankang, it will be like an invisible enemy coming to kill the gods and monsters of Yankang. It will inevitably be a bloody and one-sided massacre!
"Mu Tianzun is in the Heavenly Camp, You Tianzun is blocking the Nether City Demon God, Yue Tianzun Langhui has fallen several realms, and only Lan Yutian is left to guard here!"
Xu Tianzun pulled Ah Chou Tubo and took strong steps towards Lanfeng Valley, saying with a smile: "Even if Lan Yutian was in Youdu, he could not be my opponent! This Yankang is like an undefended pasture for me. I can kill everyone and feast on them! Father God, this is our power, the power you dare not use!"
There was a gleam of satisfaction in her eyes, like a little girl with a dark heart who was about to push down and smash the porcelain she wanted to destroy. Her heart was full of anticipation and excitement, as well as a strong desire to destroy!
"But I dare!" she laughed.
At this time in the Lanfeng Valley, the village chief was preaching. Lan Yutian looked down and saw Xu Tianzun holding Achou's calf.
He stood up. If Xu Tianzun killed them and brought them into Lanfeng Valley, no one would be her match!
Only I can fight against Xu Tianzun!
He was about to enter the Underworld of the Metaverse when he suddenly stopped.
In the Youdu of Yuanjie, Xu Tianzun also stopped and let go of Achou's feet. The karmic fire on Achou's body was too heavy, burning her hands and causing her unbearable pain.
She turned her head and saw that Ah Chou's golden body of karma was burned black in the raging flames, like a giant made of charcoal, but the charcoal had been ignited.
"Father God, are you still reluctant to give up the human race?"
Xu Tianzun laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "In order to become a human, you killed your mother and your children. Now you want to kill your only remaining daughter for the sake of the human race, right?"
Ah Chou slowly got up. The karmic fire on his body became even more intense. The pain from burning his flesh was not even a fraction of the pain from burning his soul!
However, the pain in the soul is far less than the pain in the heart of Tao.
"My children, I want to protect you very much..."
He turned his back to Xu Tianzun, his shoulders shaking, and raised his hands to cover his face, tears of fire flowing from his three eyes.
Achou is not a native.
Achou is just a child who looks very much like Tubo. Achou is just a person with an ugly face but a kind heart.
A living person.
He was kind to others and helped his neighbors. His neighbors and villagers were afraid of him, but later they accepted him and thought he was a good person.
He didn't want his wife and children to come to any harm, and he wanted to risk his own life to protect his wife and children. When his old mother died, he wished he was Tu Bo, had the power to bring the dead back to life, save his mother's life, fulfill his filial piety, and support his mother.
But he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it at all!
He is just a mortal who looks like Tubo.
Tu Bo possesses the most powerful spirit in the world and has boundless power, but due to his identity as Tu Bo, he cannot surpass the will of Youdu Avenue.
But Achou is a human being.
As long as he has humanity, he cannot have Tubo's power.
The hardships of life, the dangers of the world, the ugliness and oppression and killing of gods and demons did not make him give up his human identity and humanity. He is the ugliest man in the world, but his ugly appearance hides the purest heart. He is still full of hope for the future and believes that the future will be better.
When his wife and children left him one by one, when the demigods lifted his children and threw them off the cliff, when his children were smashed into meat patties in front of him.
Achou is dead.
His humanity is dead.
But the death was not complete.
His humanity turned into devilishness and he gained power, and at that moment Achou died.
Tubo was resurrected in his body, but the resurrection was not complete.
Endless rage burned in his body, the demonic energy of Nether City filled his body and his mind. Revenge is also human nature, and revenge dominated him, driving him to charge into the Heavenly Palace and destroy the enemy who had caused him so much suffering!
But there is another humanity in him, that is the love for his only daughter. Dominated by anger and love for his daughter, he charged into the Nantian Gate and headed towards Yujing City.
Even if he was fastened with countless shackles and shackles on Youdu Avenue and entangled with countless chains, he could not be stopped at all!
But in the end, he was blocked by Taichu Tiandi and was driven back to Youdu.
When he fell into the Netherworld, he saw his daughter falling into the palm of Taichu Tiandi.
His rage for revenge disappeared, and Tu Bo was resurrected, hiding his love and compassion for his daughter. This was his only remaining humanity, which was preserved and took root in Tu Bo's heart.
Getting rid of Youdu Avenue and becoming a human became Tu Bo's obsession. For this obsession, he has been planning until now.
His love for his daughter prevented him from harming Xu Tianzun. Achou would never harm his own daughter.
This is a hurdle he can't get past.
The karmic fire of family affection will burn him completely, destroy his physical body, burn his soul to ashes, and completely destroy his heart of Tao.
If he can pass this level, he will be an enlightened person in Youdu, controlling the great way and controlling life and death.
He can't get over this.
Achou is just a person who looks like Tubo. He is as ugly as Tubo, but he is not Tubo.
He is human.
But at this moment, he had to make a choice.
"my daughter……"
Ah Chou clenched his fists, roared to the sky, and the Avenue of Youdu was released from his body. The power of Youdu was awakening, and Tu Bo in his body was revived again.
His body continued to swell and expand, his flesh was also changing. Those worlds destroyed in the war, the shattered underworld, the creatures who died in the war, their resentment, their evil nature, all the sin and kindness in their lives, all came to him at this moment!
The Tu Bo in Achou's body awakened, and the avenue of Youdu surged towards him again.
He turned his head, his three eyes filled with fiery red tears, and looked at Xu Tianzun, stretching out his hand.
"My daughter, come home. I will take you home."
Ah Chou suppressed the rules of Youdu Avenue and showed an ugly smile to Xu Tianzun: "Go home and stop killing. I can't suppress Youdu Avenue anymore..."
The Great Dao of Youdu will not allow Xu Tianzun to use the magical powers of Youdu to slaughter living beings at will.
If Xu Tianzun is determined to destroy Yankang, then Tu Bo will enforce the law.
Achou is facing the same situation as before, but this time he is not seeking revenge, but to protect the people of Yankang.
Xu Tianzun's eyes were a little confused, and then his mind was blinded by hatred. He urged the long whip of the Styx to sweep towards him without saying anything, and said sternly: "Hypocrisy! I will not go back with you! I am Xu Tianzun, the high and mighty Xu Tianzun! All living things will submit to me and fear me! You are willing to be poor and humiliated, but I am not!"
The long whip of the Styx swept towards Achou, but then became soft and floated beside him.
Xu Tianzun turned around and killed towards Lanfeng Valley and Yankang.
More tears of fire welled up in Achou's three eyes, spreading around like butterfly wings. Although Tu Bo had woken up, the family affection in his body and the love for his daughter were still there.
This love turned into a raging karmic fire, a karmic fire that he could not stop, burning everything he had.
He stretched out his hand to grab Xu Tianzun. Any of Xu Tianzun's Youdu magical powers and Youdu avenues were of no use to him!
boom!
The moment he grabbed Xu Tianzun, the karma fire suddenly became extremely intense and fierce, and the raging flames engulfed both him and Xu Tianzun!
The sin of killing caused by Xu Tianzun was now ignited by the karmic fire on his body, burning madly. The resentment of countless innocent souls who died tragically at her hands pushed the karmic fire to the extreme!
"Taiyi is right. I will achieve my wish. But I didn't expect the result to be like this..."
In front of the Lanfeng Valley, in the Youdu City of the Yuanjie, the intensity of the karmic fire was unimaginable. It seemed as if the karmic fire of all living beings that had been accumulated for a cosmic era was all burning and erupting at this moment.
"Tu Bo!"
You Tianzun turned his head and looked at the boundless karmic fire. In the flames, two figures were burning and decomposing.
The karmic fire was so powerful that even he could not set foot in it, otherwise he would be burned to ashes and cease to exist.
"Give up your humanity and become a true Tubo!"
You Tianzun rushed over, stopped outside the sea of fire, and shouted: "Eliminate the last bit of family affection, and you can survive!"
In the distance, Qin Fengqing, who was controlling the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, also felt something. He looked at the blazing fire, his three eyes full of tears: "Big guy, what are you hesitating about? Why don't you do it?"
In the sea of karmic fire, everything turned to ashes, the flames slowly died down, and the momentum of the sea of fire gradually subsided.
In a trance, You Tianzun saw Achou again, an ugly but strong man walking in the sea of fire. On his shoulder sat a little girl with two small horns on her head. She was very innocent and cute.
Ah Chou in the sea of fire turned around and smiled to You Tianzun. A mountain village vaguely appeared in front of him. There was an old mother sitting in front of the house, a woman washing clothes, and a pair of children running around happily.
Achou took the little girl there and disappeared along with the peaceful mountain village, turning into a dream bubble.
