This Is Simply a Joke!

Taiqing withdrew his gaze and sneered disdainfully.

Haotian had originally believed that, by borrowing Heavenly Dao Power, he could completely kill Ying Zheng.

But in the Primordial Wilderness, the Human Race's fortune far surpassed that of the Heavenly Court.

Haotian's defeat was inevitable.

"The Human Race's fortune is flourishing, and the Human Path Spark has been rekindled."

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should make their appearance."

"Under such fortune, the Human Path will surely develop at a rapid pace."

Taiqing had Xuandu assist the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in emerging.

With Taiqing's authority, lifting the restrictions of Fire Cloud Cave was merely a thought away.

Moreover, given Haotian's temperament, if he lost this battle, he would certainly strike at Ying Zheng without regard for the consequences.

All of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were in the Quasi-Saint Realm, capable of making up for Immortal Qin's shortcomings in high-level combat power!

Boom!

At the peak of the Nine Heavens!

After the powerful auras faded, the many great experts of the Primordial Wilderness witnessed this shocking sight.

More than half of the Hall of Celestial Supremacy had collapsed, while the Heavenly Court's Auspicious Golden Dragon of Fortune wailed before vanishing.

Heavenly Emperor Haotian looked utterly bedraggled, while Human Emperor Ying Zheng stood proudly in the Nine Heavens.

His majestic presence shook the ages, and his divine might crushed the River of Time and Space.

The direct clash between the Heavenly Court and the Human Race ended in the Human Race's complete victory!

All the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court were stunned, unable to believe the outcome.

The Heavenly Emperor had actually lost, and the Heavenly Court's fortune was actually inferior to that of the Human Race.

The Human Race throughout the Primordial Wilderness erupted in cheers.

"Human Emperor, unrivaled in divine valor!"

"Immortal Qin shall be Eternal and Immortal!"

Above the Nine Heavens, Haotian's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted in savage fury.

"Impossible! The Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms, and I am the supreme Heavenly Emperor! How could I lose to the mere Human Race?!"

Facing Haotian's raging fury, Ying Zheng let out a cold laugh.

"A useless fool."

Haotian was instantly enraged and roared:

"Yaochi, Antarctic Immortal Elder, Old Mother of Mount Li!"

"Join forces and kill this man!"

Though the Heavenly Emperor had been defeated, the Heavenly Court's Quasi-Saints were more than enough to crush Immortal Qin.

If the Quasi-Saints joined forces, they would surely be able to destroy Ying Zheng.

Haotian's actions drew contempt from the Chan Sect and Interception Sect Immortals and Gods, while Antarctic Immortal Elder and Wudang were even less willing to interfere.

The great experts of the Primordial Wilderness also looked down on Haotian, believing him far inferior to Ying Zheng and nothing more than an incompetent fool.

Just as the Heavenly Court's Quasi-Saints prepared to ambush Ying Zheng, Immortal Qin Generals such as Bai Qi stepped forward to protect the Human Emperor. "Your Majesty, please withdraw. We will hold them back." Yet Ying Zheng showed no fear whatsoever. "Why should I fear such rats?" Haotian flew into a rage upon hearing this and attacked alongside Yaochi.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar rang out. The Auspicious Golden Dragon of Human Fortune raised its head and howled toward the sky as eight beams of divine light shot up from the mortal realm, shaking the Nine Heavens and the Primordial Wilderness.

The power of Quasi-Saints descended upon the Heavenly Court in an instant, sending Haotian and Yaochi flying billions of miles away.

The sight stunned all the Heavenly Court immortals. "What caused this?" "Which Quasi-Saint has appeared?" The great experts of the Primordial Wilderness were likewise moved. "It is the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!" "The Human Race's ancient emperors have arrived!"

The appearance of eight Quasi-Saints shocked everyone.

In an instant, heavenly light blazed brilliantly!

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors appeared in the Heavenly Court.

Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan; Yao, Shun, Yu, Zhuanxu, and Shaohao.

They displayed powerful Quasi-Saint strength, nearly causing the Heavenly Court to collapse.

Countless people throughout the Primordial Wilderness rejoiced. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the Human Race's supreme sages.

The Three Sovereigns were Late Quasi-Saints, while the Five Emperors were at the initial stage. With eight great Quasi-Saints joining hands, the Heavenly Court could not possibly withstand them.

Experts throughout the Primordial Wilderness were all amazed.

"The Human Race's hidden strength is actually this deep."

"As expected, they truly are the World Protagonist."

"With eight great Quasi-Saints arriving together, the Heavenly Court likely cannot hold on."

Within the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Qin Soldiers were also greatly invigorated.

Ying Zheng bowed to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

"Ying Zheng pays respects to all of you, seniors."

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors greatly approved of Ying Zheng's performance.

Fuxi smiled and asked.

"Many thanks to Human Emperor Senior Brother for his assistance. May I ask where your master comes from?"

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all turned their gazes toward Ying Zheng.

Xuandu, in the guise of Guiguzi, had effortlessly lifted the Heavenly Dao seal.

After all, the Heavenly Dao Power that had confined the eight Human Emperors was no different from nothing before Taiqing.

The appearance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors shocked everyone.

A flicker of excitement flashed through Ying Zheng's eyes, and his emotions grew even more stirred.

Only then did he understand that the emergence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had been part of the Mysterious Master's plan.

His master had been watching Immortal Qin's every move all along.

"Esteemed sages, I know nothing of my master's name either."

"But once I shatter the Heavenly Court as an offering, I will personally go and pay my respects to him."

Xuanyuan threw back his head and laughed loudly.

"Why not capture Haotian first, then go pay respects to this expert?"

Ying Zheng agreed. "That would work as well."

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all smiled.

The Human Emperors were filled with contempt for Haotian.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court had fallen completely silent.

Haotian had returned from Yaochi. Though his injuries were not severe, he had lost all face and was filled with hatred.

He wished he could eliminate every one of them.

However, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all Quasi-Saints. Though Haotian was furious, he did not dare act rashly.

He glared angrily at Antarctic Immortal Elder and Old Mother of Mount Li.

"Why did you not act in time?"

If they had acted earlier, they might have dealt with Ying Zheng before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors emerged.

Wudang sneered inwardly, but said on the surface, "I was severely injured and failed to meet Your Majesty's expectations."

Antarctic Immortal Elder simply kept silent.

Haotian had brought all of this upon himself.

The Heavenly Court's dignity had been utterly swept away, and both the Chan Sect and Interception Sect were delighted by this.

This made Haotian's expression turn even uglier.

Heavenly Emperor Haotian's prestige had nearly vanished completely!

If he did not eliminate Immortal Qin and Ying Zheng, he feared he would no longer be able to maintain his position as Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian sent a voice transmission westward:

"Will the Buddhist Sect truly stand by and do nothing?"

"Be careful that the Dao Ancestor does not hold you accountable!"

Western Paradise.

Receiver and Cundi exchanged a glance.

The Buddhist Sect had delayed sending troops to aid the Heavenly Court because the two Saints had deliberately restrained them.

There was a conflict over fortune and authority between Heavenly Emperor Haotian and Human Emperor Ying Zheng.

Immortal Qin and the Heavenly Court were irreconcilable enemies, and a battle between them was inevitable.

The Buddhist Sect could conveniently reap the benefits as a third party.

But now, it seemed that the rise of the Human Race was the greatest hidden danger.

Once the Human Race grew powerful, neither the Heavenly Court nor the Buddhist Sect would have a good outcome.

Even the Buddhist Dharma Eastward Transmission might be affected.

More importantly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had indeed issued an order.

Cundi spoke. "Senior Brother, send the Buddha Ancestor to lend the Heavenly Emperor a hand."

Receiver nodded in agreement.

The two Saints immediately issued their decree.

Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect.

Tathagata Buddha proclaimed a Buddhist invocation and said:

"Burning Lamp, Maitreya, Duobao!"

"You will go and assist the Heavenly Emperor!"

Burning Lamp and Maitreya respectfully pressed their palms together in reply:

"Yes, Master."

Duobao, however, said coldly:

"I only concern myself with spreading Mahayana Buddhism. I do not interfere in other matters."

With that, he turned and left.

Tathagata's expression turned extremely grim.

However, he could no longer command Duobao!

Duobao had countless followers in Spirit Mountain and throughout the Western World!

He had also accumulated an extremely abundant amount of merit!

As a result, his prestige within the Buddhist Sect was exceedingly high!

If Tathagata had not been a Good Corpse of a Saint, Duobao would likely have already stripped him of power.

Tathagata was deeply dissatisfied with the disobedient Duobao.

But left without a choice, he could only have Burning Lamp and Maitreya lead Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Fixed Light Joyful Buddha, and other Buddhist Sect Quasi-Saints to provide support.

The Buddhist Sect's incense merit was an exceptionally efficient method of cultivation.

After Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and the others joined the Buddhist Sect, they swiftly broke through into the Quasi-Saint Realm, though their foundations were somewhat weak.

Maitreya was already a Late Quasi-Saint, while Burning Lamp had reached Peak Quasi-Saint!

This expedition would surely reverse the situation!

Immortal Qin was destined to lose!

The Heavenly Court.

Buddha Light shone brilliantly.

A Buddhist invocation rang out: "Amitabha."

The two Buddha Ancestors, Burning Lamp and Maitreya, led Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Guanyin, Fear Leaving Sun Buddha, and Fixed Light Joyful Buddha to the Heavenly Court!

When the Heavenly Court immortals saw the Buddhist Sect reinforcements arrive, they were all overjoyed.

But the immortals of the Chan Sect and Interception Sect wore worried expressions.

Of these seven Buddhist Sect experts, apart from Maitreya, all the rest were traitors from the Chan Sect and Interception Sect!

Fixed Light Joyful Buddha cast a contemptuous glance at the Chan Sect and Interception Sect immortals.

"A group of hopeless pursuers of the Great Dao who cannot even protect the Heavenly Court!"

He then turned to Haotian and smiled.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. With our Buddhist Sect's assistance, those Human Race traitors will surely collapse at the first blow!"

Haotian snorted coldly.

"Once this battle is over, I will make sure to severely punish these useless fools!"

The Chan-Jie Immortals and Gods were enraged upon hearing this!

The Heavenly Court had endured until now entirely because the Chan-Jie Immortals and Gods had traded their lives for it!

This Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court were simply going too far!

Burning Lamp ignored the Chan-Jie Immortals and Gods and merely smiled.

"Please reorganize the heavenly army, Your Majesty, and crush the rebel Qin in one stroke!"

Haotian nodded, his heart surging with excitement!

The Buddhist Sect had dispatched Buddha Ancestors and Quasi-Saints!

Today, they would surely wipe out the rebel Qin!

Haotian recovered his Heavenly Emperor's majesty and issued an imperial decree.

"Where is the Dragon Race?!"

"Gather an army of ten million True Dragons!"

"Defend the Heavenly Court and eradicate the rebels!"

East Sea.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings gathered, their expressions grim.

Have tens of millions of True Dragon troops protect the Heavenly Court as it crusaded against rebels?

That was simply a joke!

The immense combat strength of the Human Immortal Qin was known throughout the Primordial Wilderness!

If the Dragon Race joined the battle, they would likely be marching to their deaths!

Yet they did not dare defy the Heavenly Court!

Because the Dragon Race was a sinful race burdened by Karmic Obstruction!

The Four Sea Dragon Kings remained silent.

At that moment, Ao Run's son, Ao Lie, spoke angrily.

"Why not follow the Human Immortal Qin's example and attack the heavens, overthrowing these disciples of the lawless Heavenly Court!"

"Then the Dragon Race will never suffer oppression again!"

The Four Sea Dragon Kings were greatly alarmed upon hearing this.

Ao Guang roared in fury.

"Impudence!"

Haotian used the authority of the Heavenly Emperor to learn of what had happened before him, then immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Courting death!"

The fury in Haotian's heart was at its peak, yet he could find no target upon whom to vent it. Now, Ao Lie was the perfect victim!

"Ao Lie dared to disdain the Heavenly Court and should be punished!"

Exercising the power of the Heavenly Emperor, Haotian directly seized Ao Lie and cast him into the lower realm, into Eagle Sorrow Stream.

From then on, Ao Lie suffered the agony of being scourged by countless bolts of lightning day and night.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings' expressions changed drastically at the sight, while Ao Run was enraged beyond measure.

Haotian's tyranny bred dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, but the Dragon Race was powerless to resist.

Haotian barked, "Why have you not deployed your troops?"

The Four Sea Dragon Kings looked despondent. Soon afterward, monstrous waves surged across the sea as countless True Dragons soared into the sky.

The immortals of the Heavenly Court all praised the Heavenly Emperor's wisdom, while Burning Lamp of the Buddhist Sect echoed, "Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, your divine might is truly unparalleled."

Seeing this, Haotian grew even more pleased with himself.

The many powerful figures of the Primordial Wilderness witnessed all this and could only sigh.

How pitiful the Dragon Race was, and how tyrannical and lawless Haotian was.

In West Kunlun, Queen Mother of the West watched coldly.

Haotian was utterly unworthy of being called a king.

As a guest elder of the Heavenly Court, she should have helped when the Heavenly Court was in trouble.

But Haotian was lawless, and Queen Mother of the West was unwilling to aid the Heavenly Court.

Within Wa Huang Palace, Nüwa's expression was icy. Had Taiqing not laid out his plans, the Human Race might never have reached its present state and might even have fared worse than the Dragon Race.

In the Underworld, beside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Houtu looked upon Haotian with extreme disdain.

In the past, the Heavenly Court had freely ordered the Underworld about, while Houtu had withdrawn from the world and ignored it.

Now that she intended to establish the Earth Dao, it would naturally be best to tear down this lawless Heavenly Court.

Houtu said calmly, "The Witch Race should reappear in the world."
