Blocking the Western Heaven-Zhunti, it was all Haotian's doing and had nothing to do with Western Heaven
Deep within the Heavenly Court.
The two Sages of the West, Zhunti and Jieyin, watched the battle that had suddenly erupted, their expressions unmoved.
"The decision to let the Heavenly Court step forward back then was indeed the right one."
Zhunti slowly spoke, feeling that his decision back then had indeed been wise. Otherwise, something like this would probably have happened in Western Heaven by now.
Jieyin wore a smile as well.
Let a fellow cultivator die instead of me.
Now that something had happened, it was all the Heavenly Court's doing. What did it have to do with Western Heaven?
Yet at this moment, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
"This is bad. Hurry back to Western Heaven! Tongtian has actually attacked Western Heaven!"
He had just performed a divination and suddenly discovered that the aura of the Sovereign Lord of the Heavens had appeared in Western Heaven.
What did this mean?
I've only just arrived at the Heavenly Court, and Tongtian is already planning to raid our home?!
Zhunti's expression also changed, and he hurriedly returned to Western Heaven.
As for the Heavenly Court...
Since everything was the Heavenly Court's doing anyway, Haotian could only fend for himself.
At the same time, in the Heavenly Court.
Haotian walked out of the Hall of Miraculous Mist and looked at the Southern Heavenly Gate, which had been shattered outright. His face was filled with shock and rage.
He was furious that they dared to be so audacious, showing no regard for his title as Heavenly Emperor and even shattering the Southern Heavenly Gate outright.
He was shocked because those who had come were not merely from the Human Sect. Xuandu had come, and the Chan Sect and Interception Sect had sent people as well. The Netherworld had even directly led a hundred thousand Yin Soldiers into the Heavenly Court.
Although the Netherworld had been established during the Witch-Demon Calamity and had shallower foundations than the other Saint's Lineages,
it was still far stronger than the Heavenly Court.
After all, when he had taken control of the Heavenly Court, the Witch-Demon Calamity had already completely ended.
The Heavenly Court had been left in ruins by the war between the witches and demons and was still awaiting reconstruction.
It had neither people nor resources.
The only ones capable of standing on their own were him and Yaochi.
Before he could say anything else,
an angry voice rang out from Yaochi.
"How dare you act like this! You clearly don't take the Heavenly Court seriously at all. If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste your breath?"
Immediately afterward, an extremely beautiful woman emerged from Yaochi. She wore a phoenix robe and possessed an air of supreme nobility, but her expression was furious.
It was none other than the Queen Mother, Yaochi!
Her face was cold as frost, and she was as fierce as ever. She directly offered up the Western Plain-Colored Cloud Boundary Banner.
The Western Plain-Colored Cloud Boundary Banner was one of the Five Innate Banners. It was also known as the Immortal Gathering Banner and possessed infinite profundities.
In an instant, wondrous phenomena filled the air. Heaven and earth shone brightly, all evil retreated, and no spell could invade.
Boundless immortal energy evolved, with figures of immortals visible within, as though they had been summoned.
They struck directly toward Fengdu and the others.
They had already been attacked at their own doorstep, and the Southern Heavenly Gate had even been shattered. What else was there to say?
They would simply fight!
Guangchengzi met Yaochi head-on, holding the Sky-Turning Seal as it repeatedly collided with the Western Plain-Colored Cloud Boundary Banner.
Great magical power swept across the entire Heavenly Court. Palaces shattered one after another and collapsed beneath the aftershocks of the power.
"Kill!"
Fengdu gave the order.
The hundred thousand Yin Soldiers behind him charged forward, instantly clashing with the heavenly soldiers who had just arrived.
In an instant, immense immortal might and yin energy collided, and the armies of both sides became locked in a brutal slaughter.
Like a string of firecrackers!
The bodies of the Yin Soldiers and immortal soldiers exploded one after another.
The vast Heavenly Court trembled violently because of the battle.
Fengdu, Xuandu, and Daoist Duobao charged directly toward Haotian.
Xuandu held the Taiji Diagram.
It had been bestowed upon him by the Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality for protection on this journey.
Now, as the Taiji Diagram unfurled, it transformed into a white jade golden bridge. It connected to the might of the Heavenly Dao, and in an instant, heaven and earth were shaken while the sun and moon changed color.
Although he could not fully unleash the power of the Taiji Diagram, it was more than enough to deal with Haotian.
Dense Rhyme of Reincarnation surrounded Fengdu. Every move he made contained the true meaning of reincarnation, and one divine reincarnation technique after another struck toward Haotian.
Treasure light of ten thousand colors shimmered around Daoist Duobao. In a daze, one could see the Duobao Pagoda, Purple Gold Sword, Primordial Chaos Hammer, Tai'a Sword...
Countless magic treasures circled around him and were offered up one after another.
For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with the radiance of magic treasures!
Daoist Duobao was named Duobao, "Many Treasures," and this was naturally no empty claim. The number of magic treasures he possessed was enough to surpass every existence beneath the Saints!
Haotian showed no mercy either. He held the Haotian Sword, while the Haotian Pagoda suppressed the firmament. It possessed immense power and could subdue all demons and monsters.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Countless magic treasures collided one after another.
All of Haotian's attacks were neutralized by the Taiji Diagram. Even the defenses around his body were directly broken through.
One divine ability and magic treasure after another rained down on Haotian like drops of rain.
He retreated again and again, fresh blood flowing from his mouth and staining his dragon robe red!
Even though his cultivation was higher than that of the other three, he was utterly inferior to them in terms of magic treasures.
A single Taiji Diagram had suppressed him completely!
"Haotian, hand over Nüwa's soul!"
Xuandu held the Taiji Diagram and rebuked him.
Haotian wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the Heavenly Court, which had become a battlefield everywhere, he smiled. There was not the slightest hint of dejection on his face. Instead, he was extremely confident. "Do you really think that I dared to lay claim to the position of Human Emperor and Sage Teacher without making any preparations?!"
"No matter how you struggle today, I am destined to win!"
He had naturally received backing from someone for daring to lay claim to the position of Human Sage Teacher.
At this point, it was time to settle everything.
He hurriedly contacted Zhunti and Jieyin.
As long as a Saint took action, no matter how many non-Saint existences there were, they would all be nothing.
The Queen Mother also broke free from Guangchengzi and flew to Haotian's side.
Xuandu, Daoist Duobao, Guangchengzi, and Fengdu all tensed. Could Haotian still have a trump card?
The four of them waited for a long while, watching Haotian's expression change from confidence, to astonishment, and finally to fury, with a trace of panic.
The four of them looked at Haotian strangely. Fengdu directly shouted, "Beat him!"
What trump card? They had not even seen a bird.
He was merely putting on a show.
Haotian, who was under the four men's siege, was also completely dumbfounded.
Where are the Two Sages of the West?
Didn't they say they would help me?
Where are they?!
By now, he understood the situation clearly. The Two Sages of the West could not be relied upon.
Looking at the vast Heavenly Court, with ruins everywhere and the dead scattered across the ground, he knew the situation could no longer be salvaged. He immediately said, "I am willing to hand over Nüwa's soul. I ask all of you to leave the Heavenly Court!"
His teeth ground audibly. He was both furious and helpless.
He flipped his palm and handed over Nüwa's soul.
Fengdu waved his hand, drawing Nüwa's soul back. He then looked at Haotian and said directly, "You offended our Netherworld first. This soul should indeed be returned."
"Besides that, our Netherworld lost tens of thousands of Yin Soldiers today. Your Heavenly Court must take responsibility. Hand over eight hundred or a thousand Innate Spiritual Roots, spirit treasures, and the like, and our Netherworld will withdraw its troops."
Guangchengzi's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward as well. "You coerced the Human Emperor and laid claim to the position of Human Sage Teacher, offending the dignity of my master. You must also hand over eight hundred or a thousand Innate Spiritual Roots, spirit treasures, and the like!"
Xuandu and Daoist Duobao spoke at the same time. "The same goes for me!"
Haotian's face turned green, and he refused outright. "I have nothing!"
What the hell does this mean?
The Heavenly Court was almost beaten to pieces, and now they were even openly extorting him!
"Forget it. We'll move them ourselves."
Guangchengzi spoke casually, then headed straight for the Heavenly Court's treasury.
Haotian was just about to fly into a rage when he saw the four of them standing together against outside enemies, their magic treasures circulating with Dao Rhymes in their hands.
Haotian's face turned livid with anger.
Damn it! When did the Three Pure Ones become so close?
Even the chief disciples of the three sects can join forces now!
At this moment, Haotian was not the only one who was shocked.
As the chief disciples of the three sects joined forces with Fengdu to attack the Heavenly Court, the entire Great Wilderness was alarmed.
Countless ancient existences awakened from their slumber and looked toward the lofty Heavenly Court in astonishment.
"The chief disciples of the three sects can actually join forces? This is extraordinary!"
In the past, although the Three Pure Ones had joined forces against their enemies, they had done so for the sake of preserving the dignity of the Three Pure Ones. That alone could not prove that they had reconciled.
But now, the chief disciples of the three sects could join forces. This could be said to be of immense significance.
They were sending a message to all living beings: the three sects would no longer fight among themselves!
"Who would have thought that the Three Pure Ones could really reach this point."
Inside the Palace of Empress Nuwa,
Nüwa stared at the scene in the Heavenly Court in astonishment.
The three sects joining forces was of immense significance. If the Three Pure Ones truly stopped fighting among themselves, the implications would be enormous. The entire structure of the Great Wilderness might well be shaken by it!
