Chapter 658 Even among saints, there are differences!
Haotian used all his strength to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.
He bowed deeply, performing the grand gesture of a junior meeting a senior, before Niu Ben.
This scene made all the celestial officials below feel that their worldview had completely collapsed.
Their Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, the venerable Sage, actually... actually performed such a grand salute to another person!
This...this is simply unbelievable!
However, what happened next almost made their eyes pop out of their sockets.
Niu Ben ignored Haotian's bow.
He took a step, slowly and deliberately, and ascended the ninety-nine white jade steps.
"clatter."
"clatter."
"clatter."
Each step he took was like a heavy hammer blow, slamming into Haotian's heart.
As Haotian watched Niu Ben get closer and closer to him, closer and closer to the dragon throne that represented the highest power in the Three Realms, his heart sank little by little into an abyss.
He wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare.
He tried to back away, but his legs felt like they were made of lead, and he couldn't move at all.
He could only watch helplessly as Niu Ben walked up to him and brushed past him.
Then, under the watchful eyes of countless immortals and gods throughout the entire Heavenly Court.
Niu Ben turned around, flicked his Taoist robe, and sat directly on the dragon throne that belonged to the Heavenly Emperor Haotian!
boom!
All the celestial officials were completely blank in their minds.
Venus rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.
What a humiliation!
How domineering this is!
In front of the entire court of civil and military officials, he sat on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!
This is no longer just a slap in the face; it's a declaration to the Three Realms that in Niu Ben's eyes, Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor, is nothing but a fart!
Niu Ben leaned back on the large dragon throne, shifting to a more comfortable position, as if it were his seat all along.
He slowly raised his eyelids, his cloudy eyes looking down at Haotian, who was frozen to the side.
He extended a finger and gently tapped the armrest of the dragon throne, producing a crisp sound.
The entire Lingxiao Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Finally, Niu Ben spoke.
His voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of mockery.
"What? Weren't you just shouting that you were going to deal with my disciple?"
Niu Ben's voice echoed in the deathly silent Lingxiao Palace, each word like an ancient divine mountain, pressing heavily on Haotian's heart.
Haotian trembled violently, and his face turned even paler than gold paper in an instant.
he came!
He actually came to their door in person because of that bastard child!
Moreover, right from the start, they used this most direct and humiliating method to trample on his dignity as the Heavenly Emperor!
Haotian felt a mix of emotions swirling within him, almost driving him mad.
But he dared not!
He gritted his teeth so hard that his gums bled, barely managing to suppress the raging storm in his heart.
He knew that if he dared to utter a single wrong word or show the slightest dissatisfaction today, this madman in front of him would definitely demolish the Lingxiao Palace on the spot, and even... he might actually attack him, a saint!
Even though everyone is a saint, there are differences between saints!
Haotian was a saint formed from the primordial purple qi bestowed by the Dao Ancestor. His foundation was in the Heavenly Court, and he was subject to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.
Keniu Ben is different!
This old monster follows the path of proving his Dao through force, and his strength far surpasses that of ordinary saints!
More importantly, he is unattached, uninvolved in cause and effect, acts entirely according to his own whims, and completely disregards the rules of Heaven!
If it really came down to a fight, I would be no match for him!
"You...you sage Niu Ben...you're joking..."
Haotian forced a smile that looked worse than crying.
He bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble, showing no trace of the majesty of a ruler of the Three Realms.
"Yang Jian is...my nephew. I dote on him, so how could I...would I harm him?"
"Just now... just now I was just joking with the ministers to lighten the mood, it's not serious, it's not serious."
After saying these words, Haotian himself felt his face burning.
For a dignified Heavenly Emperor to resort to such a clumsy lie to exonerate himself is an utter disgrace!
The immortals below all bowed their heads, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
They felt a mix of emotions upon hearing His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's words.
There was shock, there was shame, but more than anything, there was fear.
What kind of terrifying being could make even His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor so humble and subservient?
Who exactly is this suddenly appearing saint, Niu Ben?
"Oh? You're kidding?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his cloudy eyes.
He leaned back on the dragon throne, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrests, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound.
This sound became the only noise in the hall, and also a death knell hanging over everyone's heads.
"Gather an army of 100,000, summon the Four Star Lords, flatten Meishan, capture the bastard, and escort him to the Execution Platform to annihilate his soul and spirit."
Niu Ben slowly and deliberately repeated Haotian's words verbatim.
With each word he uttered, Haotian's face paled a little more.
When Niu Ben finished speaking his last words, Hao Tian's face was completely drained of color, and large beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
"Haotian, that's quite a joke you've made."
Niu Ben's voice suddenly turned cold.
An invisible, terrifying aura instantly locked onto Haotian.
Haotian felt as if his saintly body was being crushed by a chaotic divine mountain, making it extremely difficult to even move a finger.
He was utterly horrified!
What terrifying power this is!
Just a wisp of energy was enough to prevent this Heavenly Dao Saint from having the slightest thought of resistance!
"I...I..."
Haotian's lips trembled, his mind went blank, and he couldn't think of any words to defend himself.
Faced with absolute power, any flowery words seem so pale and powerless.
"You still say I'm not good enough?"
Niu Ben leaned forward slightly, his old eyes fixed on Haotian, the oppressive feeling in his gaze making Haotian feel almost suffocated.
"You say that no matter how strong I, Niu Ben, am, I wouldn't dare to oppose you, the entire Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Order established by the Dao Ancestor for the sake of a single disciple?"
"Um?"
Niu Ben let out a soft questioning syllable from his nose.
"boom!"
Haotian was struck as if by lightning, and he uncontrollably took a step back, the white jade floor tiles beneath his feet instantly turning into dust.
He stared at Niu Ben in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How did he know?
Those words I just spoke were actually roars in my heart, I never actually said them out loud!
Even though a sage can discern the secrets of heaven, it is impossible for him to know the thoughts of another sage!
unless……
