Terrifying Heavenly Emperor, Unstoppable Power
Everyone was taken aback by Zixuan's words.
Heavenly Emperor!
Such a huge change actually happened at the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's place?
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "What happened? Why did it alarm the Heavenly Emperor?"
Angel Yan: "How are you all doing now?"
Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "@Omniscient Li, Big Brother Group Leader, something terrible has happened."
Li Hao frowned slightly.
The changes in the Legend of Sword of Immortals were far faster and worse than he had imagined.
Li Hao had initially thought that even if the Heavenly Court made any unusual moves, it would only be a few Mao Shen acting. He never expected that the Heavenly Court would act so quickly and react so strongly.
Heavenly Emperor!
Lord of the Six Realms!
Omniscient Li: "Zixuan, tell me first, what's the situation over there?"
Zixuan: "This morning, the sect leader decided that we could not sit idly by and wait for death, so he took the initiative to kill two celestial gods who had infiltrated Nanzhao."
Not long after the two celestial beings fell, the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi appeared.
He's incredibly powerful, terrifyingly so. It's as if he's merged into this world; even I am no match for the Heavenly Emperor. Now, the Heavenly Emperor may have discovered my existence; I can clearly feel his attention.
"What do we do now? Even with me and the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader joining forces, we are definitely no match for the Heavenly Emperor."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood what had happened.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "This, is the Heavenly Emperor so leisurely? The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader just killed two Heavenly Gods and he already appears?"
The Little Fairy Yan Lingji, "Oh dear, Brother Gu Santong, what are you thinking about? Can't you see that Sister Zixuan is almost frantic with worry? You're still worrying about this at a time like this? Hurry up and help Brother Moon Worshipper think of a solution."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "What are you thinking? Didn't you all notice that the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader hasn't said a word?"
Everyone was stunned, only then noticing that the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had not spoken until now.
Goddess Leona: "@Moon Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, what's going on with you right now?"
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader observed the commotion in the group chat but remained silent.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.
Ever since the Heavenly Emperor appeared, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader clearly felt himself being locked onto by a powerful force, a force that reached the heavens and the earth—no, that force originated from heaven and earth itself!
Vast and boundless, endless!
Originally, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had cultivated the Indestructible Golden Body and Artifact Control Art to the highest level, already possessing the strength of a top-tier expert in the Sword of Immortals. Although he couldn't compare to second-generation gods or demons like Zixuan and Chonglou, nor to the ancient gods of the beginning of time, he was already a near-invincible powerhouse in the mortal realm.
But when the Heavenly Emperor personally intervened, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader truly realized the vast, insurmountable gap between the two!
Under the aura of the Heavenly Emperor, he couldn't even muster the thought of making a move, let alone launch an effective counterattack. Under that terrifying aura, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader felt as if he had been abandoned by this world and isolated from it.
At this moment, the entire Divine Capital of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was on resisting the terrifying aura of the Heavenly Emperor and the powerful will that could manipulate heaven and earth.
"Very good. To be able to withstand my aura, you are considered a top expert among humans."
The Heavenly Emperor calmly looked at the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, his voice flat and unwavering, as if discussing a trivial matter. "Considering you still have some potential, I hereby grant you permission to ascend to the Heavenly Realm to serve the gods."
Ascend!
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader raised an eyebrow, revealing obvious disdain.
Moon Worshipper casually asked, "Serve the gods, become the dog of Heavenly Court?"
I'm sorry, I've done many wrong things and wronged many people in Moon Worshipper life, but I've never had the habit of being someone's dog.
The Heavenly Emperor's voice immediately turned cold. "Demon, do you know what you're saying?"
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader raised his head and laughed loudly, "Monsters, if I am a monster, then what are you?"
Since I, Moon Worshipper, assumed power, I have reformed the livelihood, education, science and technology, and political systems of Nanzhao, establishing a destiny for all people, enlightening their minds, and paving the way to heaven for them.
You call yourselves gods, yet all you do is demand that people worship and serve you. What have you done for the people of this world?
No, you have done nothing for the people of the world. You only interfere in human affairs and the development of my human race in the name of Heaven.
You monsters, in my eyes you are the real monsters, the greatest scourge to humanity.
I, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, kneel to heaven, to earth, and to my parents, but I cannot kneel before you mortal monsters, you greatest parasites of the six realms."
The sound of Moon Worshipper was loud, resounding throughout heaven and earth, and deeply moving people's hearts.
The Nanzhao did not believe in the Heavenly Court or the Heavenly Emperor. The reason they paid homage to the Heavenly Emperor was only because of the Heavenly Emperor's immense power and irresistible aura.
Hearing the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's angry rebukes of the Heavenly Court Gods, the people of Nanzhao recalled their past and felt a deep sense of empathy.
Yes, when we were forced to endure natural disasters and suffered unfair treatment, where was the so-called God?
No, they never appeared.
It was the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader who gave us a life of plenty, gave us knowledge and wisdom we had never had before, and gave us a heavenly path to a better future.
It was the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader who created the present-day Nanzhao!
But what did the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader receive in return for all his efforts? Slander from the Heavenly Court and rebuke from the Heavenly Emperor!
If the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader has done so much and implemented so many reforms, yet is still condemned as a demon by the Heavenly Court, then what are we?
At this moment, the people of Nanzhao felt a resonance, a recognition of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, and a sense of dissatisfaction and anger towards the Heavenly Court.
If those who bring us a good life are unforgivable monsters in the eyes of Heavenly Court, then we would rather worship monsters forever than gods!
Supported by this immense will, everyone felt the terrifying power emanating from the Heavenly Emperor suddenly vanish.
At this moment, they seemed to become one, sharing a common will!
People raised their heads, their unyielding gazes fixed on the heavens, on the inviolable Lord of the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, however, their eyes no longer held awe and fear, only defiance and anger. It was the anger of the people of Nanzhao, the defiance of humankind.
The Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure, as he observed the changes below.
He disliked that look, especially when it came from the lowly and insignificant humans in his eyes. It reminded him of the rebellion in ancient times, and of the humans' past doubts and struggles against him and the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Emperor coldly said, "The sorcerer who Moon Worshipper has bewitched the world, and his crime is unforgivable. He is sentenced to be struck by ten thousand thunderbolts at the Execution Immortal Platform as a warning to others. The foolish people of Nanzhao have believed the sorcerer's bewitchment, disrespecting the Heavenly Court and the gods. Therefore, Nanzhao Kingdom is punished with ten years of drought as a warning."
Upon hearing this, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was instantly enraged.
Ten years of drought!
For humanity, let alone a ten-year drought, even three consecutive years of drought would be enough to cause immense suffering and lead to cannibalism.
Ten years!
This is an attempt to wipe out the entire Nanzhao!
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader roared, "This is the Heavenly Court! This is the Heavenly Emperor! How majestic!"
"Stop making noise, kneel down."
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke, interrupting the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's angry rebuke.
As soon as the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader felt an immense increase in pressure, as if he had suddenly shouldered the weight of the towering and indestructible Mount Tai. Under this terrifying pressure, cracks appeared in the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's bones, as if they might shatter at any moment, and the capillaries throughout his body burst open.
In an instant, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was transformed into a blood-soaked figure, as if he had been pulled from a pool of blood.
Even so, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader showed no sign of yielding.
He withstood the terrifying pressure, stubbornly and resolutely glaring at the Heavenly Emperor, expressing his defiance and humanity's indomitable spirit against the gods through his eyes.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor let out a cold snort of displeasure.
Suddenly, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, who was already barely holding on, felt the pressure surge. At the same time, an invisible force told him that as long as he knelt down and submitted, he would no longer have to bear the immense pressure.
But the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader did not do it, nor could he.
He struggled against the ever-increasing pressure, but his legs, unable to withstand the terrifying force, snapped and turned to dust.
Even so, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader did not yield, nor did he utter the slightest scream or wail.
He always looked directly at the Heavenly Emperor with unwavering eyes, his gaze filled with nothing but defiance!
At this moment, he represented not only himself, but also the millions of lives of the Nanzhao.
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's lips had been bitten until they bled.
He stared intently at the Heavenly Emperor, his voice trembling. "I kneel to Moon Worshipper and Earth, and to my parents, but I will never kneel to you monsters!"
"Master!"
Before anyone knew it, the Wenwu and common people of Nanzhao were already weeping.
They struggled to their feet, trembling as they stood before the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, their humble and frail bodies meeting the gaze of the man who represented the strongest in the six realms.
One person, two people, a hundred people, a thousand people.
They disregarded the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor and the decrees of the Heavenly Court, silently protecting the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.
Even though they understood that in the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor, they were nothing, and under the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Court, they could do nothing.
But at this moment, they still chose to stand with the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader and face the Heavenly Court Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader with him.
The Heavenly Emperor's anger gradually rose, and a murderous intent arose in his heart.
Humanity should have been destroyed long ago!
The Heavenly Emperor's voice was icy. "Very well, so you Moon Worshipper, so you Nanzhao. Today, I grant you Eternal death, Eternal annihilation."
"Enough! The affairs of my Nanzhao are none of your Heavenly Court's business."
Just then, two figures flew over from the direction of the palace; they were Zixuan and Zhao Ling'er.
Zixuan glared at the Heavenly Emperor, her eyes filled with fury.
She hated the Heavenly Emperor's ruthlessness and cruelty, and even more so, she hated her own powerlessness.
"Godfather."
When Zhao Ling'er saw the tragic state of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, her face paled instantly, and she cried out in shock.
"Linger, hurry!"
Upon seeing Zhao Ling'er appear, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, enduring the pain of his severe injuries, weakly shouted.
The Heavenly Emperor is too powerful!
It was so powerful that it nearly drove him to despair.
The two are not even on the same level; it's like heaven and earth. The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had only ever experienced this kind of endless gap with Li Hao.
He even had some doubts about whether Li Hao could deal with the Heavenly Emperor even if he personally took action.
After all, this is the Heavenly Emperor's home ground. The opponent not only possesses incredible and profound cultivation, but also has the assistance of the origin of heaven and earth.
Just as I felt before Moon Worshipper, I felt abandoned by heaven and earth, isolated by the world!
The Heavenly Emperor has seized control of the world's primordial power, and the greatest power in the world.
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader knew that with Zhao Ling'er's cultivation level, she was absolutely no match for the Heavenly Emperor's power.
"Sister Zixuan told me that Master asked me to come and lend you a hand."
Zhao Ling'er landed beside the Moon Worship Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, her delicate face streaked with tears of heartache, and carefully treated his injuries.
Moon Worshipper was taken aback for a moment.
Group owner!
The Heavenly Emperor looked at Zixuan and the other two who had suddenly appeared, his gaze slightly narrowed, tinged with disdain.
When Nuwa was alive, he was not afraid of his opponent in the slightest, let alone two mere descendants who inherited part of Nuwa's divine power.
However, Zixuan!
The Heavenly Emperor gazed at Zixuan, a strange feeling stirring within him.
Shouldn't she have died long ago?
