This Isn't a Dream, Is It!

The Heavenly Realm, the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range, Falling Thunder Ravine.

Amidst the torrent of thunder and lightning, the continuous palaces resembled islands, where countless immortals and mortals dwelled.

This is the Divine Firmament Sect, founded by Celestial Master Sa, one of the Four Great Celestial Masters of the Heavenly Court.

The once peaceful Dao Sect holy site is now surrounded by twelve towering, archway-like gates, each ten thousand feet tall.

Within the gate, black energy churned and demonic clouds swirled, enveloping an area of over ten thousand miles.

A red cloud, several acres in size, floated in the air, where stood the White Wondrous Demoness, the Hundred Desires Celestial God, and a group of Asuras and Ghost Mother True Immortals.

"Can't even handle such a small matter, what a waste." The White Wondrous Demoness glanced coldly at the Hundred Desires Celestial God.

"The strongest sect is just a minor sect with only one Celestial Immortal. I sent ten Hundred Desires Celestial God Immortals here, but who would have thought they would be so cowardly? They didn't even fight, and instead abandoned their camp and fled to Falling Thunder Ravine." Hundred Desires God laughed. "Miao'er, don't be angry. This is a good opportunity to eliminate the Divine Firmament Sect together, and let the Heavenly Realm see the methods of our Ten Thousand Demon Palace."

"Hmph, you're just thinking that if you make a bigger splash, more tribes will offer you some vixens, aren't you?" The White Wondrous Demoness sneered upon hearing this.

"How dare I, how dare I?" Even the Hundred Desires Celestial God dared not be angry, and quickly said with a smile, "I have dealt with those fox clan members, and I will never dare to do it again."

Thinking of those charming fox-girls, Hundred Desires Celestial God still felt a pang of regret, as if he had tasted something delicious.

But everything he had was obtained through the White Wondrous Demoness; to put it nicely, they were husband and wife, but to put it bluntly, she was nothing more than his male concubine.

A little casual flinging now and then is no big deal.

However, this time the task was not completed well, which angered the White Wondrous Demoness, so she had no choice but to cruelly destroy the flower.

Actually, he felt very wronged.

Previously, he had instructed his subordinates to investigate the background of the Mysterious Heaven Sect on Floating Jade Mountain. They learned that the sect was only led by a Celestial Immortal, along with dozens of Earth Immortal Loose Immortal, as well as more than a hundred Nascent Souls, who occupied a small mountain peak.

Such a minor force is insignificant in the Heavenly Realm.

Why would he leave his idyllic life to deal with this personally? That's why he only sent ten human immortals who had defected to him, intending to capture all the disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sect and bring them back to Wushan Gorge.

After all, Floating Jade Mountain is only a few hundred thousand miles away from Falling Thunder Ravine. If too many people go there, it will alarm the Divine Firmament Sect and cause unnecessary trouble.

However, the Mysterious Heaven Sect had only been managing Floating Jade Mountain for three or four years, and its strength and manpower had not increased much, but it had already set up various formations and early warning restrictions to make it completely impenetrable.

Before his own team of human celestial immortals even got close to Cliff Against the Wall, they were discovered by the enemy.

The Ten Thousand Demon Palace, always arrogant and domineering, paid no attention to the situation. They also thought that ten Celestial Immortals working together couldn't possibly defeat a small Celestial Immortal sect. So they revealed their origins, set up a barrier, and took action directly.

Unexpectedly, upon learning that the invading enemy was the most renowned ' Ten Thousand Demon Palace ' of the Asura clan in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, Yu Lin Tianxian did not even put up a fight. Instead, he led his disciples to flee to Falling Thunder Ravine and even told the Divine Firmament Sect that the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was going to invade the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range. This alarmed even the Four Great Celestial Masters in the Heavenly Court, making the situation increasingly serious.

"Don't be angry with me or resentful towards you." Seeing that the Hundred Desires Celestial God was constantly yielding, the White Wondrous Demoness's expression softened. "I'm not unsatisfied in serving you normally, it's just that you insisted on going out to steal food after I wasn't by your side for a few days."

"Indra has agreed this time. After the matter is accomplished, he will not only hand over the branches and leaves of the Saha Sacred Tree to us, but will also teach you a body-refining supernatural power that he comprehended from the Blood River Demon Scripture."

"Last time, I finally managed to coax a body-refining technique out of you from the Juluo Celestial God, but you complained that even when you perfected it, it would only reach the level of a Celestial-grade magic weapon, so you refused to cultivate it."

"That <Blood River Demon Scripture> is the strongest method of the Nether River Patriarch Asura Demon Cult, which the Styx Patriarch comprehended before the Three Realms were formed. Even if Indra only comprehended it, it is not comparable to ordinary supernatural powers, and it is enough to allow you to cultivate the Formless Blood Demon Body."

"You're telling me, wasn't everything I did all for you?"

"Yes, yes. My dear Miao'er, I know you did all this for me," the Hundred Desires Celestial God coaxed. "It's all my fault, I've wasted your efforts. Just watch my performance from now on, I promise I won't disappoint you."

Speaking of which, this 'couple' are quite a remarkable pair.

In the Three Realms, every school and sect places great importance on its own supernatural powers and methods.

Although this Hundred Desires Celestial God was introduced by the White Wondrous Demoness to become a disciple of the Desire and Color Heaven ' Dao Ancestor Boyu ', one of the Four Great Demon Kings, he obtained a superior Asura demon scripture.

However, because he was born into the human race, his body's meridians were different from those of the Asura race, making it difficult for him to cultivate to a perfect state.

Furthermore, Dao Ancestor Boyu only took him under his wing because White Wondrous Demoness served him well and he felt embarrassed. He didn't care much for him to begin with, so it was impossible for him to attain profound supernatural powers.

Therefore, although the Hundred Desires Celestial God survived the Heavenly Tribulation, he barely made it through thanks to the many spiritual treasures lent to him by the White Wondrous Demoness, and was only at the bottom among the gods.

The White Wondrous Demoness wanted to improve his strength, but unfortunately, she cultivated Qi Refining Secret Techniques, and was bound by a Heavenly Dao Oath not to pass them on.

Therefore, he set his sights on a group of male concubines.

While offering his physical body as alms, he deceived his male lovers into teaching him simplified supernatural powers that he had gleaned from his sect's secret techniques.

In addition, they acquired many unusual magical treasures and secret techniques, and gradually, the couple became stronger and stronger.

Hearing Hundred Desires Celestial God's repeated assurances, White Wondrous Demoness's face also became lively.

Having spent countless years together and publicly referring to each other as husband and wife, how could she not have genuine feelings for Hundred Desires Celestial God?

"It's good that you have the intention. I've already reported this to my father. If it's done well, you'll have face in his eyes," the White Wondrous Demoness said with a smile. "In a moment, you and the three generals will join forces. With the help of my Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Banner Gate Formation, those four old bastards won't be able to do anything to you."

This Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Banner Gate Formation was also something she had painstakingly obtained, and it was considered a top-tier formation technique among the formations of the Three Realms.

"Don't worry, Miao'er, I'll go and raze the Divine Firmament Sect to the ground right now," the Hundred Desires Celestial God proclaimed.

"I know how powerful you are. If you could really crush the Divine Firmament Sect, we wouldn't have let them keep opposing us in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent." The White Wondrous Demoness shook her head. "This time, we only want the disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. Show them some power first, intimidate them, and then tell Sa Shoujian to hand them over."

The Four Great Celestial Masters are close advisors to the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court, and have been cultivating their influence in the Three Realms for a long time, with many allies. Although she has the support of her father, the Dao Ancestor Bo Xun of the Zizaitian, this is, after all, the territory of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, the Dao Sect, and the Heavenly Court.

The Dao Sect immortals are used to being carefree and unrestrained. Now that the Three Realms are in turmoil again, they are not afraid of others meddling in their affairs. However, if they are forced into a corner, it will be troublesome.

"Understood." Hundred Desires Celestial God stood up, summoned a group of Asuras and evil soldiers, and together with three Asura Tianshen, they rode on a black cloud and rushed straight towards the Falling Thunder Ravine Palace complex in the Flag Gate.

As soon as they entered the Flag Gate Formation, parting the surrounding black smoke and mist, they were greeted by two streaks of golden light that rolled in, transforming into two sword energies, a dragon and a tiger, in the air. There was also a flurry of lightning and thunderbolts, as well as flashes of crimson and Dark Light, the Five Ding Divine Palm grabbing out, and countless Xing Luo, transforming into hundreds of golden-armored divine generals, wielding spears and axes, all attacking at once.

Upon seeing this, the Hundred Desires Celestial God recognized the top secret techniques such as the ' Dragon-Tiger Sword Art ', ' Divine Firmament Thunder Method ', ' Five Ding Divine Palm ', and 'Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers'. Knowing that these were techniques used by the Four Great Celestial Masters, he immediately roared, his body turning as red as fire. He transformed into a giant ten thousand feet tall using the Law of Heaven and Earth Power, and a Bloodflame Fork appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and swung it forward fiercely.

Boom boom boom...

Divine thunder exploded one after another, and the Dragon-Tiger Sword Qi also separated into a divine dragon and a fierce tiger, which appeared lifelike in the air and fought against the Hundred Desires Celestial God.

The other three Asura Gods also revealed their Asura forms, transforming into giants ten thousand feet tall. One fought against the Five Ding Divine Palm, while the other led the Asuras, evil soldiers, and golden-armored generals in a fierce battle.

Then, several soft sounds rang out, and purple flowers formed from purple lightning shot out from the Divine Firmament Sect's palace.

When these purple flowers first rose, they were as large as a capital city. In the blink of an eye, each flower was a hundred feet in size, raining down upon us.

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, the surrounding black smoke and mist were swept away, and thousands of evil soldiers and demons were instantly reduced to ashes.

But after the black smoke and mist dispersed, they gathered again in just one breath, seemingly endless.

The twelve flag gates standing around also emitted beams of malevolent energy, forming a black mist net that condensed in the air and then covered the area below.

The lightning-purple flowers that flew up again floated in the magic net, constantly exploding and shattering the black mist magic net, rendering it shapeless.

However, the black mist and malevolent energy continuously spewed from the flag gate, clashing with each other, causing them to freeze in place for a moment.

"Old Master Sa, this Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Banner Gate Formation was cast jointly by Miao'er and the Ghost Mother. No matter how much your disciples gather their strength, they are only Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortal, and they cannot last long. We came here to destroy your Divine Firmament Sect, but we have some personal grudges with the Mysterious Heaven Sect disciples... If you know what's good for you, hand over the people, and we'll turn around and leave!"

The voice of the Hundred Desires Celestial God boomed, resounding throughout heaven and earth, reaching the palace below. Even the flying purple lightning flowers seemed to pause in their tracks.

"Ha! Those are the words of a heretic and demonic cult, I would never believe you!"

A sudden, loud bang.

Below, a strange-looking old Celestial Master Sa appeared out of thin air. He was dressed in a purple Daoist robe, nine feet two inches tall, with thick eyebrows, a broad forehead, a red crown, and green eyes. He was none other than Sa Shoujian, one of the Four Great Celestial Masters and the founder of the Divine Firmament Sect.

"The disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sect have only been in the Heavenly Realm for a few years and have always only operated in the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range. How could they easily provoke your Ten Thousand Demon Palace? Hundred Desires Celestial God wants to find an excuse to deal with my Divine Firmament Sect, he should at least find a better one," Celestial Master Sa sneered.

At that moment, another golden light appeared, revealing three old Daoist priests.

Some wore their hair in topknots and dragon-and-tiger robes, others wore tall crowns and crane-feather cloaks, and still others had prominent noses and protruding heads, holding floats and sinkers. Each of them had an unusual and ancient appearance. They were Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Xu Jingyang, and the other three Pure Yang True Immortal Masters.

These Four Great Celestial Masters ascended to the mortal realm after they had attained enlightenment and transcended tribulations in the countless small worlds of the mortal realm after the initial formation of the Three Realms.

They would naturally not know about the secrets of the Heavenly Realm in ancient times, especially since the Mysterious Heaven Sect was not very well-known back then.

Furthermore, since Celestial Master Sa cultivates thunder magic, he is extremely upright and irritable. Now that the Ten Thousand Demon Palace has come knocking on his door, he would never believe the nonsense of the Hundred Desires Celestial God.

"This Eastern Victory Divine Continent is the land of my Dao Sect. It's one thing for you demons to be so unruly in the past, but your power is not yet exhausted. If you dare to continue to invade, when the Heavenly Court's army arrives, we will surely raze your demonic lair to the ground." Celestial Master Zhang, who was skilled in alchemy and swordsmanship, had a purple aura on his face and his eyes were full of killing intent.

"The Heavenly Court Army?" The Hundred Desires Celestial God laughed loudly. "My Ten Thousand Demon Palace is a branch of the Asura Demon Cult. Does your Jade Emperor dare to send a large army here? Let him hide in his Dipper Ox Palace and dream of being the ruler of the Three Realms."

In the Heavenly Realm, the Dao Sect, the Buddhist sects, and the powerful clans founded by various great beings are the strongest.

Even the gods and immortals who occupied various places were all local overlords and completely ignored the Jade Emperor.

Their Asura Demon Cult has five Dao Ancestors on the surface, as well as several powerful figures in the deep sea of the Northern Sea who are on good terms with the Nether River Patriarch.

Even the Dao Sect rarely attack the Ten Thousand Demon Palace... The Heavenly Court?

Does he dare?

"Miao'er, if we don't teach this old bastard a lesson, it seems he's unwilling to hand over the person," the Hundred Desires Celestial God secretly transmitted his voice.

Soon, the voice of the White Wondrous Demoness came. "Since that's the case, then kill them."

"Good." A glint flashed in the eyes of the Hundred Desires Celestial God hidden in the shadows.

The God King instructed me to seize the opportunity to instigate conflict between the Asura Demon Cult, the Dao Sect, and the Heavenly Court... If even one of these Four Great Celestial Masters were to fall, I imagine the Jade Emperor would be enraged.

Thinking of the benefits promised by the God King, the Hundred Desires Celestial God felt a burning desire in his heart, and his eyes were filled with longing as he looked at the four old Daoists.

He had endured countless years of humiliation and even after becoming a god, he was still a laughingstock. He had had enough of this kind of life!

Meanwhile, the Four Great Celestial Masters in the distance, upon hearing the Hundred Desires Celestial God mocking the Jade Emperor, all turned pale.

Heavenly Court reinforcements?

If that were truly the case, there would be no need for the four of them to personally engage in battle.

"The Great Celestial Venerable... was ultimately too cautious!" The Celestial Masters exchanged glances, all sighing inwardly.

Just then--

Suddenly, boundless golden light shone in the void outside the flag gate formation.

Golden flowers seemed to fall from the heavens, accompanied by a fragrant aroma and the sound of profound and authentic music.

The golden flowers fell upon the dark clouds and mist, and the malevolent aura within them, like frost meeting the blazing sun, melted away in large swaths.

The strange fragrance and melodious sounds wafted over, and the demons and monsters of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace felt their limbs go weak upon hearing them. Some of the demon immortals even collapsed to the ground, unable to maintain their transformations and revealing their true forms.

"Exorcising Golden Flower, Jade Palace Golden Seal?"

"Could it be that the Jade Emperor's carriage has arrived?"

The four celestial masters looked up in surprise, gazing towards the outside of the formation.

The Hundred Desires Celestial God and the three Asura Gods also looked over in astonishment.

Then a Eight Views Imperial Carriage, ten thousand feet long, emerged from the void beyond the nine heavens, dragged by nine golden dragons, followed by batches of golden-armored celestial soldiers and generals aboard warships.

On either side of the imperial carriage stood a large group of fairies who continuously showered golden flowers, while musicians played instruments and chanted the golden chapters of the Great Dao.

Golden lamps were lit, filling the air with a unique fragrance. Through the lifted cloud curtain, a young man dressed in a yellow robe could be seen sitting inside the imperial carriage.

The man had a handsome face, and although he wasn't dressed in imperial robes, he possessed a unique air of authority.

In addition, Taibai Venus, a renowned ancient immortal from the Three Realms, was kneeling respectfully to the side.

For a moment, everyone was in a daze, thinking that the Jade Emperor himself had arrived.

"It's... Junior Brother Zhou Hao."

Among the Mysterious Heaven Sect members in the Divine Firmament Sect's palace, Nishang exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the familiar face of the young emperor sitting in the Eight Views Imperial Carriage.

Upon being reminded, Yu Lin Lintianxian, Yuwen Du, and the others immediately recognized Zhou Hao.

"What's wrong with Zhou Hao...?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, wondering how their former fellow disciples, who had only been apart for a few years, could suddenly be accompanied by such an imperial procession.

"The Great Emperor Ziwei Yuxu of the Central Heaven North Pole has personally arrived! Members of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, quickly withdraw the Flag Gate Baleful Formation!"

A loud shout came from the sky; it was the golden-armored heavenly general on the warship who spoke.

"The Great Emperor of the Purple Star Jade Void in the North Pole of the Central Heaven?" A delicate laugh rang out.

"What a handsome Emperor!" The White Wondrous Demoness, standing atop the crimson clouds, saw Zhou Hao seated in the imperial palanquin, her eyes lighting up as she exclaimed, "It's not difficult for me to dismantle the great formation, if only Your Emperor would be willing to have a drink with me..."

"You vile woman, how dare you utter such filth!" Upon hearing this, Taibai Venus was about to cast a spell before the White Wondrous Demoness could finish speaking.

Zhou Hao then waved his hand and casually tossed out a miniature bronze hammer, which flew out of the imperial carriage and landed.

As soon as the bronze hammer fell, it instantly transformed into the size of a mountain, carrying dazzling black and white energy, and directly crushed everything in its path.

"Rumble~~~"

Where the copper hammer struck, the dark, malevolent aura was instantly shattered.

A giant black and white Taiji Diagram appeared on the bronze hammer and smashed into a flag gate that was ten thousand feet tall.

BOOM!!!

The two collided, creating a deafening roar, and the earth suddenly caved in downwards.

Then the flag gate broke in half, and both the White Wondrous Demoness and the Netherworld Ghost Mother, who were standing on the red cloud, trembled, and the red cloud supporting their bodies almost dissipated.

"A mere formation, nothing special," Zhou Hao said dismissively, looking down at the scene below.

As far as his eyes could see, it seemed as if the entire world was about to submit to his power.

"You dare destroy my beloved wife's magical treasure!" The Hundred Desires Celestial God raised his hand and threw the Bloodflame Fork, which rushed towards Zhou Hao like a wave of blood.

"Such tricks, you dare to show off in front of me?" Zhou Hao smiled coldly, and a huge yellow cloud immediately appeared in front of the Eight Views Imperial Carriage.

The yellow clouds spread in all directions, completely suppressing the void and directly blocking the blood waves.

Within the blood-red wave, there were still vengeful spirits and foul blood attempting to taint the yellow clouds, but they were instantly enveloped by the yellow clouds. With a distant finger gesture from Zhou Hao, they appeared in front of the Hundred Desires Celestial God in an instant, startling him so much that he hurriedly reached out to grab his weapon.

But just as he grabbed the Bloodflame Fork, the Purple-Gold Copper Hammer from before was already above his head.

With a crisp sound, his head was smashed flat by Purple-Gold Copper Hammer that appeared out of nowhere.

Fortunately, he was a god; even if his entire body were smashed flat, it wouldn't matter, let alone his head.

But this was clearly a humiliating blow, which enraged the Hundred Desires Celestial God.

"Is this really Junior Brother Zhou Hao?" Nishang couldn't believe it.

Yu Lin Lintianxian, Yuwen Du, and other members of the Mysterious Heaven Sect were all dumbfounded.

Before they came to the Heavenly Realm, Zhou Hao was still preparing to participate in the Immortal Fate Assembly... In just over three years, he has become the Heavenly Court Emperor and can easily crush True Immortals and Gods?

"This can't be a dream, can it...?"

I was delayed after get off work, and I had some writer's block while writing tonight.

This chapter is from yesterday...
