Storming the Palace in the Sky / But I Regret It Now

"Captain is the best! Listen to your old man, and you'll get to eat meat!"

"Hua is my son, how can his guardian not be present?"

What else can I say? It's your decision...

The members of the Fire Moth seemed to wake from a dream, and immediately followed them into the warship, waving to those behind them as they did so.

"I'm telling you, you don't actually have a plan, and you're just using this opportunity to force various forces on Earth to choose sides, do you?"

Several guardians of Kyushu who had a deep bond with Fu Hua stepped forward. The most perceptive of them all, Cang Xuan, seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but stop, hooking his arm around Kevin's neck and asking in a low voice.

"Do you think I can beat Dihong Kun?"

The man squinted and asked in return. Cang Xuan scratched his head and walked away, full of suspicion.

"Young man, the fate of the entire nation rests on this, so be careful."

Sun Wukong tapped Kevin's shoulder with his Golden Cudgel, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he gave a light reminder, then placed his hands on either side of the cudgel and walked away gracefully.

"Will my sister be alright in your plan?"

"I guarantee she'll be perfectly safe!"

Thunder frowned and asked, while Kevin remained resolute.

Hopefully, you've made the right choice...

After a moment's hesitation, the Nine-Tails Fox Squad and Dr. Banner and others finally boarded the pirate ship.

Finally, it was Doctor Strange's turn to step forward. He gently patted Kevin on the shoulder, looking mournful.

"Next time, let's choose someone else to wipe my butt. I feel like my blood pressure is a bit high lately, and my heart rate is too fast."

"Since the time of Shakyamuni, you four generations have been adept at digging holes and patching them up. This job is best suited for you. With great power comes great responsibility!"

Kevin spoke seriously, offering comfort and encouragement to the somewhat exhausted Doctor Strange.

Meanwhile, before boarding the warship, Kevin couldn't help but cast a curious glance at Doctor Strange.

Don't worry, I brought my things...

Doctor Strange pressed his chest, his eyes rolling back, giving off a look of utter despair.

Inside the ship, the area where everyone was located was actually a spatial unit with mountains and water. However, the several Shanhai Beasts that were the masters of the ship were all knocked unconscious by this group of violent people with their bare hands.

Cang Xuan's fingers flew across the keyboard. After inputting the spatial coordinates and pressing Enter, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Two complete novices! With so many test subjects dead, injecting the identification codes of these ancient monsters into the warship won't attract any attention from the enemy at all."

"The Queen Mother of the West and Lu Wu in the command room are not true Pangu Clan, so they do not have much authority over this interstellar warship."

Come on, let's have some fun together!

Through Cang Xuan's interface, everyone was shocked to see that the remaining high-level Primordial Experiment Subjects were being held captive by artificial black holes in the crisscrossing spatial units.

Those twisted figures, densely packed together, numbered in the thousands!

Chapter 842, Section 805: Attacking the Lingxiao Palace

The Lieyang Star was destroyed in half because the Sun God Dihong Kun intervened in the Deno War without authorization and detonated his star, which provoked a counterattack from the Nuoxing God of War.

The remaining half of the planet has a stable structure, and the vast majority of the Lieyang Star people live on this half. They rely on the Sun God to redefine and regulate the Sun, providing them with sufficient temperature and energy, which allows them to continue to survive on the planet.

However, in order to effectively utilize the debris floating on half of the planet and alleviate population pressure, Dihong Kun personally took action and reshaped it into Floating Island- like structure.

These Floating Island are interconnected, forming a ring of debris surrounding a semi-stable planet, consisting of thirty-six layers, and are named the "Thirty-Six Heavens."

Most of the divine generals and celestial soldiers of Lieyang Star reside in the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, forming a tight defense line responsible for protecting the most central half of the stable planetary body.

Dihong Kun resides in the Tiandao Palace at the highest level, with the Sun God presiding over it. The Thirty-Six Heavens have remained undisturbed for many years.

However, today, the clouds surrounding the Thirty-Six Heavens gather and disperse intermittently, while energy beams such as sword energy, thunder, and flames surge and shoot out in all directions.

The God of War and generals, densely packed as if facing a formidable enemy, gathered towards the Tiandao Palace like a tidal wave, only to be constantly swept away and dispersed by the invaders who were besieged in the center.

"Open the Sword - Rock Break"

A thousand swords rang out in the sky, and as the sharp weapons fell and swept across the land with a whistling sound, the God of War blocking their way screamed and were sent flying backward, smashing the magnificent pavilions and waterside railings along the way.

Looking around, the ground was already full of potholes, and most of the surrounding buildings had been reduced to desolate Ruins due to the ravages of the terrifying force.

"His Majesty is merciful, giving you a chance to repent, but the people of the lower realm are ungrateful and dare to resist stubbornly!"

"Mystic Maiden, surrender!"

As criminals with guilty consciences, the Four Great Divine Generals dared not act rashly without the Emperor Lord's decree, and could only watch helplessly as Fu Hua moved in and out of his territory as if it were empty.

However, at this moment, Tiger Fiend and Black Crocodile, who were more hot-tempered among them, saw that the God of War had been unable to break through for a long time and their faces were quite ugly. They were somewhat unable to restrain themselves.

"If Dihong Kun wants to punish me, let him do it himself. You are not qualified to defeat me."

Fu Hua remained unmoved, his tone indifferent, as if merely stating a fact. Yet, his gaze swept across the surroundings like a sharp sword, sending chills down the spines of the nearby God of War.

The wailing of their colleagues everywhere, and the chilling sword formation overhead, caused them to instinctively retreat.

"How dare you! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"And you bunch of cowards! Have you all become spineless chickens after not having fought a war in ages?!"

The two Guardian God General, Tiger Fiend and Black Crocodile, were furious and even more annoyed by their hesitant colleagues behind them. They couldn't help but step forward, rebuke them, and order everyone to surround and advance together.

"Let's all come at once, it won't take much effort."

Fu Hua calmly opened her eyes, and her words, though seemingly ordinary, sounded incredibly provocative to the two great generals opposite her.

"Presumptuous!"

The two Guardian God General enraged. They slammed their weapons on the ground, and golden arrays appeared beneath the feet of thousands of heavenly soldiers. The runes engraved on their armor flashed and echoed each other.

At the same time, the clouds parted, and hundreds of floating warships, constructed from a mixture of metal and special wood materials, sailed out of the clouds with the blessing of runes.

On the side of the ship, archers lined up, holding composite bows with a modern, high-tech feel, the arrows inscribed with various mysterious tadpole-like characters.

Clearly, the Lieyang Civilization has embarked on a contradictory yet compatible path of development, incorporating both outdated and traditional styles and a pursuit of ancient times, as well as some integration and application of modern technology.

The result is the current style of architecture and weaponry, which is both retro and somewhat technological.

However, underestimating these seemingly outdated weapons and equipment will definitely lead to considerable trouble. The long accumulation of civilization has endowed these ancient relics with formidable combat power.

"Release the arrows!"

As the command flag was lowered from the warship, a dense barrage of arrows rained down like a meteor shower; some flashed with lightning, some froze into frost, and some emitted bursts of flame...

Sword formation, activate!

Fu Hua held a sword in her right hand, while her left hand formed hand seals. The thousands of Xuanyuan Sword floating around her resounded joyfully, as if cheering for their sovereign, and at the same time gathered into a rotating sword wheel.

Amidst the clanging and clattering sounds, the seemingly overwhelming rain of arrows was successively cut off and obliterated.

These conventional weapons, incorporating elemental attacks, may look flashy, but they are impossible to get close to.

Just as the sword formation was operating at a seemingly slow but actually rapid pace, two Xuanyuan Sword swords on the left front broke off and flew away, along with an arrow made of entirely black, dull metal, as white as a shooting star.

Fu Hua curled her fingers to grasp the arrow, intending to neutralize its hidden force with gentleness. However, the moment they made contact, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately flung the arrow out.

"When!"

The black, dull arrow pierced the white marble floor like a hot knife through butter, leaving only its tail feathers trembling slightly.

Fu Hua spread her palms out, and a bloodstain appeared on her fair and flawless palm, showing signs that her skin was dissolving.

"Godslayer Weapon! This is very similar to the [Shadow Hunter] Super Soldier in the second-generation God Creation Project of Dexing that Dukao mentioned."

"It seems that the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang, who was in charge of mediating the Battle of Deno, did not return empty-handed."

The Nine Heavens Xuannü flicked her hand lightly, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"The Emperor Lord has ordered a swift and decisive battle, with the goal of capturing prisoners alive!"

At this moment, the other two divine generals guarding the Tiandao Palace, Chi Feng and Sheng Long, transformed into flames and landed, their voices low and somewhat unwilling.

The four exchanged a glance, stood together in tacit agreement, formed a defensive formation, and moved forward to encircle each other.

Outnumbered? Unfortunately, she excels at both one-on-one and one-on-many situations.

Fu Hua walked forward with his sword, and the Xuanyuan Sword Formation around him dispersed, transforming into dozens of sword wheels, some separating and some merging.

With a series of slashes and thrusts, the sword wheel blocked the ranged threats and cleaved the approaching floating warships into pieces.

Close the distance, distract her, and prevent the sword formation from operating normally!

Seeing the assembled floating warships disintegrating and falling amidst black smoke, the numerous God of War gritted their teeth and pressed forward, hoping to use their numerical advantage to wear down the enemy through a war of attrition.

However, upon first contact, they were astonished to discover that this Nine Heavens Xuannü was strong in ranged combat, but even stronger in close combat!

This War Goddess, proficient in military strategy and tactics and various martial arts, saw flaws everywhere she looked. Every time she thrust out her Xuanyuan Sword, it would penetrate the weakest point of the army formation, causing it to break down.

Fu Hua then used the momentum of the attack to her advantage, drawing the approaching God of War with her sword strikes. They became so engrossed in their own attacks that they repeatedly injured their own allies.

This War Goddess moved like a mist, and wherever she went, God of War collapsed and fainted like dominoes, leaving behind patches of emptiness that seemed to be devoured by her.

Fu Hua murmured to herself, looking up at the misty clouds where the legendary Tiandao Palace, Lingxiao Palace, strolled leisurely amidst a vast army.

"If he won't come to see me, then I'll go to see him. It's time to settle this thousand-year-old grudge."

P. S.: Three chapters for now, I can't stay up any longer.

Also, before the subsequent plot unfolds, could you please refrain from giving conclusions too early? I didn't intend to write the details of the counterattack in the first two chapters, which were quite trivial.

I'll try my best to write a good story, and I ask for your patience.

It's still past midnight.

Chapter 806, Section 843: But I Regret It

"She wants to see me? Very well, I'll give her that chance!"

In the Tiandao Palace and Lingxiao Palace, a building with glazed tiles and nameless fragrant wood, a clear, cold voice echoed in the empty hall.

The middle-aged man, with his hair tied up in a bun and adorned with a cloud-patterned jade crown, had an ancient and unsophisticated face, extremely thin lips, and when his sword-like eyebrows were raised, there was a sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe. His eyes flashed with divine light as he opened and closed, as if a deity was indifferently watching a battlefield where ants were fighting.

On the prayer mat, Pan Zhen, holding the white chess piece, stood guard at the edge of the room amidst the raging black dragon, desperately holding his position.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jingwei has already reached the twelfth heaven, defeating over five thousand God of War, and more than one hundred and twenty warships, while remaining unscathed herself."

"So what! Human strength has its limits! Only the will of Heaven is eternal! How can a mere mortal like myself defy the will of Heaven!"

Dihong Kun paused, and the black stone in his hand instantly turned to dust. Then, the Heavenly Emperor of Lieyang responded with a cold snort, arrogant and disdainful.

"I'd like to see what she can use to question me, even if she's like that monkey from back then, capable of reaching the thirty-sixth heaven!"

Pan Zhen glanced down at the few tea leaves floating in his cup, his brow relaxed, as if he had made a decision.

"Your Majesty, there is a strange matter that I need to report to you."

"Of the more than five thousand who were defeated, at most they were seriously injured and unconscious; none died. Their sword and fist techniques seemed to intentionally avoid vital points..."

Dihong Kun gave a slight cold laugh and turned his head to the side.

"That's why I wanted to capture the Four Great Divine Generals alive, and then use the number of God of War from the thirty-sixth heaven to overwhelm them."

"Otherwise, if we had simply demarcated the area and bombarded her with Solar Flare, she would have been reduced to ashes long ago!"

"Doesn't she want me to condescend and negotiate the Earth Realm matters with her face to face? Then let her beat me to my heart's content! Let's see how long she can hold out!"

Sure enough, tens of thousands of years have passed, and he still has this stubborn temper, refusing to admit his mistake in this lifetime.

Pan Zhen shook his head inwardly, feeling helpless against his old boss who held power and acted arbitrarily.

Since interfering in the Deno War and bringing disaster upon the Lieyang Star, the Heavenly Emperor's domineering and obsessive personality has been greatly restrained.

Furthermore, the Emperor Lord, having learned his lesson, chose to reside in the Tiandao Palace for an extended period, regulating the light and heat of the planets, and entrusted him and the Four Great Divine Generals with the task of assisting Di Lena.

However, he was particularly troubled by the Earth Realm his adopted daughter Jingwei had betrayed him and joined the Queen Mother of the West, driving out the forces of Lieyang Star.

Seeing that Dihong Kun's expression had softened, Pan Zhen couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Your Emperor Lord, is it really that important to make someone bow their head?"

Dihong Kun frowned slightly, his expression gloomy. After a moment of silence, the fist he had been clenching under the table gradually relaxed.
