The Heavenly Court's Heavenly-Protecting Formation, the Power of the Three Realms

"Heh heh heh. Kill, kill! Whether the Jade Emperor kills Lao Jun or Lao Jun chops down the Jade Emperor, it's all good news. Only if blood and chaos erupt again will I, Ancestor Minghe, have a chance to continue proving the Dao through slaughter!"

Within the Netherworld Blood River, Ancestor Minghe was eagerly looking forward to it.

Hall of Miraculous Mist.

"Who is willing to go and kill him?"

The Jade Emperor's eyes swept across the Hall of Miraculous Mist. Everyone he looked at kept their mouths shut; some even lowered their heads.

Who would go?

Who had that ability?

If they had that ability, would they still be standing here?

"I am willing to lead the charge." Star Lord Wugu stepped forward and bowed.

"This old minister is also willing to capture that traitorous rebel, Taishang Laojun." Taibai Jinxing also bent at the waist and bowed.

"Good! Hahahaha!"

The Jade Emperor laughed heartily. "Bring out the Dog Head Guillotine. Follow me to Doushu Palace!"

The Jade Emperor set out for Doushu Palace.

A mighty procession of troops followed him.

The eyes of countless mighty figures throughout the Primordial Chaos were fixed on the Jade Emperor, waiting to see the exciting spectacle that would follow.

"Is the Jade Emperor really doing this?" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing asked with a frown, his eyes full of doubt.

Doushu Palace.

The Dog Head Guillotine slammed heavily into the ground with a thunderous crash.

Star Lord Wugu shouted, "Taishang Laojun, come out and meet your death!"

"Hmph, you ignorant child. You have disturbed my cultivation. You deserve to die." Taishang Laojun's voice came from within Doushu Palace, surging with killing intent.

A golden light shot out. It was actually the acquired supreme-grade spiritual treasure, the Vajra Bracelet.

"Ah-ha!"

Star Lord Wugu let out a furious roar and met it with a punch.

Taibai Jinxing also circulated his full power and struck with all his might.

The collision was like a nuclear explosion, sending shock waves in every direction.

Star Lord Wugu and Taibai Jinxing spat blood as they were sent flying backward.

The difference in strength was simply too great.

They had been instantly defeated in one move.

"Hmph." The Jade Emperor's figure flashed, knocking the Vajra Bracelet away.

"Lao Jun, I'll give you some dignity. I'll allow you to climb onto the Dog Head Guillotine yourself, so you can leave with a little grace."

"Do you think I would fear that immeasurable karma?"

Taishang Laojun's figure flashed into existence before the Jade Emperor. "Since you wish to kill me, I certainly won't show you any mercy either."

"Come on."

"Bring it."

The Jade Emperor took one step forward and stood above the Heavenly Court.

Taishang Laojun followed in one step, coldly fixing his eyes on the Jade Emperor.

A bloody battle was about to erupt.

Chapter 26: The Heavenly Court's Heavenly-Protecting Formation, the Power of the Three Realms

Above the Heavenly Court, beyond Heaven Beyond Heaven.

The Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun faced each other.

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and produced a treasure: the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.

"That thing is actually in your hands."

"Measure the sky, you say? Other than me, who else could measure the sky? Naturally, it belongs in my hands."

"Arrogant! You're merely at the Early Quasi-Saint Stage, yet you actually wish to measure the sky!"

Taishang Laojun sneered as the power of his late Quasi-Saint Stage erupted.

"Early Quasi-Saint Stage? Who told you that? Did I ever tell you?" the Jade Emperor said with a faint smile as the battle power of the peak Quasi-Saint Stage burst forth.

"Peak Quasi-Saint Stage?"

Taishang Laojun was startled. He had never imagined that the Jade Emperor had hidden his strength so deeply.

The many primordial mighty figures watching the battle were all shocked as well.

Tathagata Buddha was especially astonished.

How was this possible?

This former lowly child had actually reached such a terrifying level of strength!

He was no weaker than Tathagata Buddha himself.

"No wonder he has acted so arrogantly. He has actually reached the peak Quasi-Saint Stage? There is now another supreme expert beneath the Saints in the Primordial Chaos." Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple exclaimed in shock.

What sort of fortuitous encounter had he experienced to reach such heights?

"Let me test the true strength of your peak Quasi-Saint Stage."

Taishang Laojun struck out with his carrying pole. It swept across the sky, shattering space and carving out a chaotic vacuum zone resembling a river of stars.

"The Grand Pure Sage's weapon? An innate supreme spiritual treasure? You're strong, but compared to me, you're still a little lacking."

"Beef-Butchering Saber Art, First Form: Stab the Neck!"

The Jade Emperor shouted. The battle power of the peak Quasi-Saint Stage erupted, and he wielded the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler like a saber. He had actually comprehended this saber intent by watching Zhang Yifan butcher an ox.

This saber art faintly carried the aura of the Great Dao Laws!

The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler thrust forward with terrifying force, colliding with Taishang Laojun's carrying pole and actually knocking it askew!

What the heck?

The Beef-Butchering Saber Art?

First Form: Stab the Neck?

The corner of Ancestor Minghe's mouth twitched. The dignified Jade Emperor was a peak Quasi-Saint expert, yet the technique he used was so vulgar, making him look just like a butcher from the mortal world.

Yet that saber intent faintly carried the aura of the Great Dao Laws, which was utterly startling!

"Beef-Butchering Saber Art, and you even stab the neck? Truly laughable." Taishang Laojun couldn't hold back for a moment and genuinely laughed.

"What's wrong? Is it not allowed? I comprehended this saber art precisely by figuring out how to butcher your Green Ox."

The Jade Emperor patted the Sky Measuring Ruler in his hand and laughed. "Oh, right. Your ox tasted quite good. Especially the ox's eight delicacies—they were absolutely delicious, and they paired wonderfully with wine."

"You actually killed my ox! You're courting death!" Taishang Laojun flew into a rage. His icy killing intent actually froze the surging chaos as he swung his carrying pole down again.

"Hahahaha! Being able to enter my stomach was his good fortune!"

The Jade Emperor laughed loudly. "Beef-Butchering Saber Art, Second Form: The Saber Like a Roaming Dragon, Slicing the Balls!"

A terrifying saber intent surged. The saber slashed down, slicing open a huge gash in the Ninth Heaven as easily as cutting tofu.

Zhen Yuanzi: ???

Ancestor Minghe: ???

Tathagata Buddha: ???

The saber like a roaming dragon, slicing the balls?

Upon hearing this move, all the major figures of the Primordial Chaos felt a chill in their lower bodies.

Taishang Laojun and the Jade Emperor clashed head-on.

For a time, neither could do anything to the other.

The two of them fought for several days straight.

The entire Ninth Heaven was nearly shattered by their battle.

"Formation, rise!" the Jade Emperor shouted. Suddenly, pillar after pillar of light shot into the sky, and the entire Heavenly Court shone with the radiance of the sun.

"The power of the Three Realms, gather upon my body."

The Heavenly Court's Heavenly-Protecting Formation had been established by Dao Ancestor Hongjun with the power of the Heavenly Dao. Even a full-strength attack from a Saint could not break it.

It had been created to protect the safety of the Heavenly Court, yet no one had expected the Jade Emperor to use it to trap Taishang Laojun, rendering him immobile for several breaths.

After the power of the Three Realms was mobilized, the Jade Emperor's strength soared directly to the Early Sage Stage!
