You hadn't heard of it-did that mean the Heavenly Court didn't exist?
The fairy's fist techniques rained down on him, and no defensive measures were effective. It was as if his opponent could see through his weaknesses, and every punch landed on his weak points, causing him great pain.
The onlookers were unaware that the identities of the two men fighting on the Temple of Heaven had quietly risen, but they could all see that Zhu Yunwu was now being beaten even more badly than before.
Zhu Yunwu diligently studied his master's moves and felt he had gained a lot; perhaps this was his master's purpose.
Seeing that his defensive tactics were ineffective, Zhu Tian changed his fighting style and adjusted his posture to minimize the pain of being hit.
What Zhu Tian found most strange was that he felt the opponent's moves were quite familiar, as if he had been beaten in the same way in High Antiquity times.
But upon closer reflection, it didn't match the opponent in his memory.
Strange.
The pain pulled him from his memories and forced him to face reality.
This won't do; we must widen the gap and regroup.
He deliberately created an opening to lure the Immortal Fairy into attacking. The Immortal Fairy fell for it and attacked her weak point. Zhu Tian seized the opportunity to jump to the right.
The Immortal Fairy had anticipated this and jumped to the right to continue attacking Zhu Tian.
She had long since figured out Zhu Tian's attack methods.
Zhu Tian tried eight or nine times before finally flying up into the sky, panting, away from the Immortal Fairy. Looking at her, he felt a sudden, inexplicable fear.
This wasn't the fear I felt when I was being beaten, but a fear left over from High Antiquity times, a fear hidden deep within my heart.
Zhu Tian's eyes were cold. He twisted his round body, his steps changed, and his four wings flapped, like musical instruments playing in harmony. There was a kind of harmonious beauty that could not be described in words. It was as if hundreds of people were playing a game. The instruments were different, the functions were different, and the rhythms were different. After playing, they were perfectly harmonious, as if this was how it was supposed to be.
This is one of his unique skills, incredibly powerful, and only those at the Nascent Soul Realm are barely qualified to use it.
A colossal wave surged atop the Temple of Heaven, resembling a High Antiquity cataclysmic flood. The flood carried a corrosive and destructive intent; even a single drop would cause one's skin to hiss and steam. If one were unfortunate enough to be submerged by the flood, one would surely be reduced to ashes!
"What kind of dance is Zhu Yunwu performing that summoned the flood? Does anyone recognize him?"
"It seems to be the legendary Dance of Immortal Destruction, a unique dance of the Supreme Zhu Tian, known only to Zhu Tian himself. It is no ordinary flood, but a devastating flood from High Antiquity times that destroyed several stars!"
"It seems that Supreme Zhu Tian values this disciple highly."
"This Young Master Lu is no ordinary person either. He's been dominating Zhu Yunwu from start to finish. This High Antiquity genius is truly extraordinary."
Lu Yang felt a little nervous upon hearing the discussions below.
"This dance is called the Dance of Immortal Demise and World Annihilation. Could it be that a demigod once died from this move?"
The Immortal Fairy waved her hand. "It's just that the name sounds impressive, but it's really nothing special."
"When Ying Tianxian started her class, she said that as Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator or a half-immortal, regardless of the power of the moves, the names of the moves must sound very powerful. This is called making a strong first impression."
"I don't believe in that stuff. Effective techniques are more important than anything else. As for names, just pick one."
Lu Yang: "..."
The world-ending flood condensed and swirled in the air; the faster its four wings flapped, the more floodwater it generated.
In the end, the floodwaters became so vast that they blotted out the sky, thicker than dark clouds.
If the floodwaters were to tilt downwards, they would surely submerge the entire Temple of Heaven. The area affected by such a massive flood would be so vast that even if one tried to fly away, there would be no escape!
"Go!"
With a flap of its four wings, Zhu Tian caused the world-destroying flood to lose its supporting force and crash down upon the Temple of Heaven.
Unfazed, the Immortal Fairy pointed her index finger at a spot in the air, making a "pop" sound. The moisture in the air vanished instantly, as if an invisible giant hand was flowing upwards, wiping away all the moisture from the Immortal Fairy's head, including the world-destroying flood.
"Water-avoidance technique"
"How is that possible!"
Zhu Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. His prized move had been broken just like that?
Water avoidance tips?
This kind of Law Technique has long been lost, and only High Antiquity cultivators knew it. Could it be that the other party really comes from High Antiquity?
"Not good!"
Above the Immortal Fairy's head was not only a world-ending flood, but also Zhu Tian himself!
Zhu Tian felt the moisture in his body disappearing rapidly, leaving him shriveled like a corpse that had been dead for a year.
If you exert yourself too much, your body will fall apart.
"La--Spring warmth, flowers bloom, and life awakens--"
Zhu Tian sang loudly; this was the Song of Spring, a song of the four seasons, for spring symbolizes revival and the ability to recover.
After his revival, he returned to his peak state in just two hundred years, thanks in no small part to the Song of Spring.
"He's quite good at singing," the Immortal Fairy muttered. Zhu Tian often sang to liven up the atmosphere before giving his sermons.
She rose into the air, riding the clouds and mist, continuing her battle with Zhu Tian in mid-air.
The Fairy's Fist Technique is unpredictable and all-encompassing; all of Zhu Tian's attacks can be cleverly countered by the Immortal Fairy.
Fairy Fist Technique originates from various herbal fist techniques. Herbs are both medicine and poison, and the Immortal Fairy can switch between them at will.
Let alone Zhu Tian forgetting the Immortal Fairy and being unfamiliar with her fighting style, even if he hadn't forgotten, he would still have been badly beaten by the Immortal Fairy in High Antiquity times when they fought at the same level.
"Enough!"
Zhu Tian could no longer control himself. A wisp of his Divine Sense returned to his body, and with a loud shout, he abruptly ended the contest.
The Nascent Soul Realm was too far away for him; he had long forgotten the techniques that could be used at that Nascent Soul Realm, and he couldn't defeat Young Master Lu.
The enormous, mountain-like Zhu Tian flapped its four wings, creating a hurricane, and flew to the Temple of Heaven. The hurricane blew everyone off balance, and many were blown away.
Ten more demon emperors at the Tribulation Transcendence stage followed closely behind, surrounding Lu Yang.
Zhu Tian revealed a cruel smile, looking at Lu Yang as if he were a dead man:
"I have traversed the High Antiquity and have never heard of any Heavenly Court. You, a junior, have fabricated a non-existent Heavenly Court and call yourself Young Master Lu, defiling the reputation of the High Antiquity. Do you not respect me, a High Antiquity cultivator, at all?"
"I am mindful of the difficulties you have overcome in your cultivation and am unwilling to expose your true identity. However, you have repeatedly caused trouble at the founding ceremony of the Demon Kingdom, disgracing the Demon Race and the demon realm!"
As soon as Zhu Tian said this, the crowd below the stage erupted in an uproar. They never expected that Supreme Zhu Tian would reveal such a secret.
"There was no Heavenly Court in High Antiquity? Does that mean the Heavenly Court religion is fake?"
"So who exactly is this Young Master Lu...?"
"How is that possible? If the Heavenly Court Sect is fake, does that mean that the Bean Celestial Venerable's defeat of the Great Yu cultivators was also fake?"
"Why not? It might just be a show staged by the cultivators of the Great Yu Dynasty to divert the world's attention!"
"Zhu Tian Supreme is no ordinary person; he certainly wouldn't lie about this!"
Mu Baiyi and Shihua Gu exchanged a glance, a sense of doubt rising in their hearts.
The Heavenly Court Cult is fake? How could that be? Then who are the people cooperating with them, and what are their backgrounds?
But with Zhu Tian Zhizun's words laid bare, one has no choice but to believe them.
"Could it be that we've been scammed?"
Just as everyone was discussing this, a clear, cold voice echoed throughout the entire demon city.
The cold voice seemed to be laughing, laughing at the ignorance of the world, laughing at the ignorance of the heavens.
"Zhu Tian, just because you haven't heard of it, does that mean the Heavenly Court doesn't exist?"
"Who is speaking!"
Zhu Tian nervously looked around and scanned with his Divine Sense. The familiarity of the voice sent chills down his spine.
The man in black robes flew out and landed lightly on the Altar of Heaven, shielding Lu Yang behind him.
"Who are you!" Zhu Tian was on high alert, he had a bad feeling and stared intently at the man in black robes.
The man in the black robe lifted his hood, revealing an exquisitely handsome face.
The man looked at Zhu Tian with a half-smile, his gaze filled with disdain and contempt.
"Jiang Lianyi, one of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the Antarctic Nirvana Emperor."
