This Heavenly Court Might Not Belong to Hao Tian!

Outside the South Heaven Gate.

Hong Tian was brimming with pride, thinking that once he announced his name and revealed his magic weapon, the next moment would be when the Hao Tian Shangdi himself came out to greet him and treat him as an honored guest.

"His Majesty has decreed—"

Taibai Jinxing, holding Whisk, arrived on a cloud, his voice echoing throughout the South Heaven Gate:

"Hong Tian's identity is questionable. He is impersonating Dao Ancestor, and his intentions are despicable. However, considering this is his first offense, we will not pursue the matter further. He is ordered to leave immediately and is not to approach the Heavenly Court again!"

"Ancestor Hong Yun, His Majesty invites you to the Yao Chi to serve tea."

Once the decree was issued, the area inside and outside the South Heaven Gate remained completely silent.

All the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals turned to look at Hong Tian.

Impersonating the son of the Dao Ancestor? This guy has a really wild imagination!

It's obvious he's been reading too many wish-fulfillment novels by History Emperor; he's become obsessed.

Hong Tian's smile froze instantly.

"What did you say?!"

Hong Tian raised his voice, filled with anger.

"How dare Hao Tian refuse me?! I am the son of the Dao Ancestor, the rightful successor of the Zixiao Palace!"

"He, Hao Tian, is merely a pageboy before my father; how dare he speak like this!"

Hong Yun silently took half a step back, looked up at the sky, and pretended to study the cloud patterns carved on the South Heaven Gate.

Hmm, the cloud pattern is really well carved, so lifelike...

Taibai Jinxing maintained her professional smile.

"Fellow Daoist, His Majesty's decree has been issued; please do not jeopardize it."

Hong Tian, in a fit of rage, burst into laughter.

"Well done, Hao Tian! I think you've been bought off by Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao and become its lackey, deliberately hindering my great cause of saving my father!"

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true.

Hao Tian rejected him because he feared that Haotian would unite with various factions and defy the Heavenly Dao!

"A lackey of Heavenly Dao's Way, does he even deserve to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?!"

The Great Desolation Strongest Choice System suddenly reacted.

"Congratulations, host, you have triggered a selection!"

Option 1: Temporarily submit, feign compliance, enter the Heavenly Court first, and then make further plans.

"Reward: Late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation, Hao Tian's favorability +1"

"Option Two: My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! How dare a mere child claim to be emperor? This Heavenly Court cannot be ruled by the Hong family!"

"Reward: Early Quasi-Saint cultivation, Chaos Spiritual Treasure Hong Meng Seal"

Hong Heavenly Eye suddenly lit up!

Early Quasi-Saint! Chaos Spiritual Treasure!

Sure enough, the system understands me!

In crucial moments, you still need Golden Finger!

"I choose option two!"

Hong Tian didn't hesitate; he was determined to get his revenge here.

Otherwise, how could he become the leader of the Heaven-Defying Alliance?

"You mere Hao Tian, a mere page before the Dao Ancestor, who has only obtained the position of Heavenly Emperor by chance, dares to disrespect me, a descendant of the legitimate Dao Ancestor?"

"Today, I will vindicate my father and reclaim what is rightfully mine!"

Boom--!

A vast and boundless power poured down from the void, and Hong Tian's aura rose steadily!

He reached the Early Quasi-Saint in an instant.

At the same time, a seal from the beginning of Hongmeng appeared in his palm.

As soon as the seal appeared, the surrounding laws became slightly disordered, and ripples appeared in the space.

"Hao Tian! Come out and face your death!"

Holding the Hong Meng Seal Hong Tian his Quasi-Saint aura without reservation, stirring up the winds and clouds at the South Heaven Gate!

He was full of vigor, as if he could already see himself sitting high in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, receiving the worship of all the immortals.

Outside the South Heaven Gate, an uproar erupted!

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were on high alert and quickly formed ranks.

Ancestor Hong Yun covered his face, unable to bear to look.

Taibai Jinxing's smile finally vanished, and his eyes turned cold.

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you disrespect His Majesty and utter such rebellious words!"

Before Taibai Jinxing had finished speaking, a majestic imperial aura, as tangible as a physical force, pressed down from the direction of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!

"Presumptuous."

Hao Tian's voice resounded throughout the Thirty-three Heavens.

Hong Tian's immense aura, which had just broken through to the Quasi-Saint, was instantly shattered by this vast imperial might.

"Puff--!"

Hong Tian was struck as if by a heavy blow; his face turned deathly pale instantly, Hong Meng Seal in his hand dimmed, almost slipping from his grasp.

He looked up incredulously toward the direction of the Ling Xiao Palace.

How is that possible?!

He is already Quasi-Saint, and he even possesses Chaos Spiritual Treasure!

Hao Tian was merely a Heavenly Emperor who rose from humble beginnings; what right did he have...?

"Ignorant of one's own limitations."

Hao Tian's voice rang out again.

A gigantic hand, formed from the Imperial Dao Law, descended from the heavens and reached for Hong Tian and the Hong Meng Seal in his hand.

Hong Tian's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically activated the Hong Meng Seal.

The seal erupted with Chaos Hongmeng, evolving into earth, fire, water, and wind, transforming into a hazy world, attempting to expand the world within the palm of one's hand.

But at the moment of collision with Hao Tian.

The world evolved from the Hong Meng Seal was instantly destroyed!

Hong Tian was shaken to his core as Hao Tian held him in his hand and relentlessly eroded his Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit.

Ancestor Hong Yun watched from the side, his eyelids twitching.

"These Transmigrator, do they really think Hao Tian is made of clay...?"

He didn't even think about saving Hong Tian.

Anyway, Transmigrator have systems, so they're really hard to kill...

A moment later, Hao Tian released his grip.

Hong Tian fell from the clouds like a rag doll, his aura extremely weak.

His Chaos Spiritual Treasure, the Hong Meng Seal, transformed into a stream of light and flew into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

"Out of respect for Ancestor Hong Yun, I'll spare your life."

Hao Tian's indifferent voice came:

"If you dare to trespass into the Heavenly Court again and utter any falsehoods, you will be annihilated, body and soul."

Seeing this, Ancestor Hong Yun rushed forward and scooped up the limp Hong Tian.

"This child is young and naive; I'll take him away right now!"

He said this without waiting for Hao Tian's response.

The Hong Yun formed a protective beam, swirling across the Hong Tian, and slipped out of the South Heaven Gate without looking back.

Hong Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief once they were far away from the Heavenly Court's territory.

Looking down at Hong Tian, who was barely alive, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke Hao Tian..."

Hong Tian was in a daze, his whole body was in excruciating pain, and he felt extremely frustrated and resentful.

Where's the system?! Where's my Chaos Spiritual Treasure?!

Hao Tian! If I don't avenge this, I, Hong Tian, swear I will not be human!

Seeing the resentment in his eyes, Hong Yun knew that a grudge had been formed, so she said no more.

They found a desolate mountain to land on, set up a protective barrier, and laid the person down to heal their wounds first.
