Heavenly Que Palace Changes Hands
Above the Nine Heavens, clouds and mist swirled like silk, and golden light pierced through the clouds, sprinkling onto the majestic eaves of the Heavenly Gate Palace.
The entire palace floats above the shimmering clouds, with White Jade steps and glazed tiles, inlaid with pearls formed from starlight, shimmering with a mysterious halo under the sunlight, like a magnificent dream between heaven and earth.
As you step through the palace gates, the celestial birds Vermilion Bird University and Azure Luan circle in the sky, their wings sweeping across the ground and scattering specks of fluorescent light.
Divine beasts such as the Qilin Bai Ze lay quietly on both sides of the jade steps, radiating a soft spiritual light, exuding both majesty and peace.
Countless maids, dressed in light gauze and colorful ribbons, moved gracefully between the eaves. The ribbons fluttered in the wind, like colorful rainbows, adding a lively atmosphere to the palace.
As you walk along the winding corridor, one palace after another appears, all decorated with precious jewels such as coral and jade. Wind chimes hanging from the eaves tinkle gently in the wind, their clear sounds like celestial music played in the Tiangong.
The hall was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, the carpet made of brocade was as soft as clouds, and the dazzling luminous Night-shining Pearl illuminated the room as if it were daytime.
Within this luxurious palace lived the concubines of the Heavenly Emperor Xing Ming.
They were all stunningly beautiful and graceful.
Some leaned against the carved windows, gazing absently at the distant sea of clouds, a faint sorrow between their brows.
Some people were playing the zither and flute in the courtyard, the melodious music and the sound of wind chimes intertwining to express endless emotions.
Others, attended by maids, were meticulously dressed, their gorgeous gowns perfectly complementing their stunning beauty, making them appear like fairies descended from heaven.
Although these concubines lived in the magnificent Heavenly Gate Palace, enjoying endless glory, they also had their own desires and sorrows.
In this magnificent cage, they await the favor of the Heavenly Emperor, hoping to receive his unique love.
Beyond the palace walls lies an endless sea of clouds, a freedom they cannot reach.
Around the Heavenly Gate Palace, four glazed military camps are arranged like four chess pieces on the edge of the sea of clouds.
Outside the barracks, silver-armored immortal soldiers, wielding spears forged from stars, stood in formation like pines. However, upon closer inspection, the camp, stretching for hundreds of miles, appeared somewhat empty.
This place, which once housed 200,000 celestial soldiers, now has only 50,000 soldiers scattered among it, making it seem rather desolate.
The mystical light that used to flow day and night over the twelve Demon-Suppressing Tower that floated above the barracks had dimmed considerably.
After all, with most of the Immortal Emperor- level warriors gone, the array core lacked sufficient immortal power to maintain it.
Inside the largest main tent, silk curtains hung down, and the aroma of ambergris rose from the bronze beast-shaped incense burner.
Four Immortal Emperor, clad in Gilded Armor, sat reclining on jade couches, their brows furrowed with worry.
More than twenty Immortal Emperor level generals sat around a long jade table, which was filled with fine wines and roasted meat from immortal beasts. However, the sound of people clinking glasses was sparse and far less lively than in the past.
"He's just an unknown nobody from the Seventh Heaven of the Lower Realm. How dare he kill ten of our Immortal Emperor!"
An Immortal Sovereign with a full beard slammed his wine vessel onto the table, spilling the amber-colored wine.
"This is a provocation against the majesty of our Heavenly Gate Palace! This time, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor will personally lead 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; we will absolutely capture that bastard and tear him to pieces!"
Before the words were finished, an Immortal Emperor with snow-white hair on the jade couch sneered, "If he is really an unknown nobody, why does Your Majesty need to personally lead the expedition?"
Do you think the fate wheels of those ten Immortal Emperors are a joke?
He raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of dim golden wheels immediately appeared in the void.
"To be able to break through the life-saving formations of ten Immortal Emperors, this boy's abilities are probably no less than those of the Demon Venerable of today."
The atmosphere inside the tent froze instantly, with only the crackling of the fire in the stove.
An Immortal Emperor clad in crimson armor put down his wine cup and glanced at the crowd. "Gentlemen, the palace is now empty, and the burden on our shoulders is not light."
I hereby issue the order: from this day forward, patrols will be strengthened, and the Demon-Suppressing Tower will be manned in shifts every three hours. If any unusual activity is detected...
His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a chilling tone, "Execute without mercy!"
A clear phoenix cry suddenly rang out from outside the tent, interrupting the lecture, and everyone looked out of the tent.
A five-colored divine bird was seen soaring in the clouds, riding a warrior of the Immortal Emperor Realm in golden helmet and armor, followed by several other Immortal Emperor level experts.
Following behind were hundreds of warriors at the Immortal Sovereign and Immortal King Realm, followed by arrays of immortal soldiers exuding powerful killing intent.
These Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rode the clouds and mist, arriving with overwhelming force.
The people in the tent were overjoyed. Weren't these their compatriots, the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had been taken Lower Realm?
Huh? How come the number has decreased by half, to only around 50,000?
And judging from these people, they all seem to have ill intentions. What happened in the middle of this?
Where is His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor? Why is he nowhere to be seen?
And some of the familiar Immortal Emperor Realm experts, their old friends, were also nowhere to be seen...
"This is bad! Send the order: assemble the army and protect Heavenly Gate Palace! These people are plotting something!"
The wings of the Divine Phoenix swept across the sky, casting a huge shadow over the Nine Heavens.
Immortal Emperor Hong Mao sat upright on the back of a phoenix, the Starstone inlaid on his golden armor swirling with an eerie light.
He looked down at the four military camps below, a cold smile playing on his lips, and slowly raised his right hand.
"Kill! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!" A thunderous roar echoed through the sky.
Behind the Immortal Emperor Hong Mao, several Immortal Emperors and hundreds of Immortal Sovereign Immortal King Realm simultaneously unleashed their magical treasures. In an instant, the light between heaven and earth shone brightly, and the terrifying pressure made the entire Heavenly Gate Palace tremble.
At the same time, a round cage shimmering with a ghostly blue light shot out from his hand.
This is the Spatial Prison that Hua Qiang personally crafted, containing the supreme power of a Starry Sky Realm expert.
The cage rapidly expanded in the air, enveloping the main tent in the blink of an eye.
"Not good! It's Spatial Prison!" The white-haired Immortal Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he warned loudly.
However, it was too late. The Time-space Law flowing on the surface of the cage instantly imprisoned everyone inside the tent.
The four Immortal Emperors and dozens of Immortal Sovereign wanted to rebel, but found that even mobilizing their immortal power had become difficult.
"Break it!"
The Immortal Emperor, clad in crimson armor, roared and unleashed his life-saving magic weapon to bombard the cage with all his might.
But the seemingly fragile azure barrier rippled under the attack, reflecting all the power back.
Other Immortal General also made their moves, but no matter how much they struggled, the Spatial Prison remained as stable as a mountain.
Inside the four military camps, the celestial soldiers Immortal General rushed out of their tents upon hearing the commotion.
When they saw their own commander imprisoned, the enemy's imposing formation, and the Spatial Prison hanging high in the sky, radiating terrifying pressure, their fighting spirit vanished instantly.
Under the overwhelming pressure of the Immortal Emperor Hong Mao and others, their faces turned pale, and they slowly knelt down in surrender.
In a short time, the defenses of the Heavenly Gate Palace collapsed.
The Immortal Emperor Hong Mao put away the cage, gazed at the majestic palace, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
This was his first battle in surrendering to Hua Qiang, and also his pledge of allegiance.
Judging from his performance, he performed perfectly and is likely to gain Hua Qiang's appreciation.
Apart from the main office hall at the front, the rest of the palace was occupied by the concubines of Heavenly Emperor Xing Ming.
He dared not lay a finger on those stunning beauties; he could only leave them to his new master, Hua Qiang, to deal with personally.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, signaling his men to guard the area strictly and await the arrival of the new master.
The stunning beauties in the Heavenly Gate Palace were unaware that their fates had already been seized by another man.
