"Hmph! Although I guessed that you, you old codger, would defect to the Heavenly Court."
But I never imagined you would go so far as to resort to human sacrifice. You've truly gone mad."
The arriving deity was a middle-aged man, shirtless, with red flames wrapped around his body like belts, making him appear majestic and extraordinary.
He is the sacrificial spirit of the Crimson Flame Tribe, the Crimson Blaze God ' Bi Wu '.
After Bi Wu arrived, he punched through the altar's defensive barrier and went straight to fight Peng Xi.
" Bi Wu, mind your own business!"
The Kunlun Heaven are on the verge of collapse, and I'm just leaving myself an escape route. If you can't stand it, you don't have to get involved.
When Peng Xi saw Bi Wu arrive, he immediately realized that the news about the altar had been leaked, and his face turned extremely ugly.
"Hehe, it's because there are too many gods like you that Kunlun Heaven is on the verge of collapse."
Enough with the nonsense, I will absolutely not let your scheme succeed today.
Bi Wu ignored Peng Xi's enticements and pressed on relentlessly, preventing Peng Xi from taking any action to capture the prisoners.
If Peng Xi's plan is followed, with the Myriad Peng Demon Lord and the King of Motan guarding the outer perimeter, even if something unexpected happens, he should be able to complete the entire sacrificial ceremony.
But Chen Mu's appearance completely disrupted his plans, and now he knew that it was almost impossible to successfully complete the entire ceremony.
Whoosh...!
In the sky, several more gods arrived one after another. After seeing the situation clearly, these gods reacted differently. Only two gods rushed down to help Chen Mu, while the others remained to observe the battle and were not in a hurry to take action.
"Haha, Myriad Peng Demon Lord, King of Motan, I will be your opponent."
A female deity dressed in green, wielding a long sword, single-handedly held off both the Myriad Peng Demon Lord and the King of Motan.
Although she was only at the Late Void God Realm, her combat skills were far superior to those of the two demon gods, and for a time she suppressed them, forcing them to retreat and defend.
Chen Mu and Gu Ningbi had been fighting for so long that they were exhausted, so they stopped fighting and sat down on the ground to meditate.
"Alright! Everyone, stop!"
At that moment, a majestic white-haired old man spoke from high above.
The Three Mountains Patriarch are currently the most senior and most mysterious Innate Gods in Kunlun Heaven.
Legend has it that he possessed the Great Dao of Cause and Effect from the moment he was born, enabling him to trace back to the source and foresee the trajectory of events. Throughout history, the Kunlun Heaven Realm has faced numerous crises, and it was through his abilities that these crises were resolved.
Therefore, he enjoyed extremely high prestige among the gods of Kunlun Heaven, and the gods would not easily offend him unless absolutely necessary.
Since the Three Mountains Patriarch had spoken, everyone in the battle naturally separated. Peng Xi led the Myriad Peng Demon Lord and the King of Motan to the altar, their expressions grim.
" Shaman God Peng Xi, I can ignore your desire to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor."
However, I have already issued a strict order that live sacrifices are forbidden within the Kunlun Heaven. Do you still remember the consequences of violating this prohibition?
Kunlun Heaven had just experienced an invasion from all realms, and the various tribes had long been severely infiltrated by extraterrestrial forces. Even if the Three Mountains Patriarch wanted to manage it, they couldn't.
Therefore, unless they commit any major acts that would anger both heaven and man, the major powers of Kunlun Heaven generally mind their own business and will not interfere with the plans of other tribes.
However, Peng Xi's act of performing a live sacrifice to offer the Heart of Pan Emperor to the Heavenly Emperor clearly infringed upon the interests of the various tribes. Therefore, the sacrificial spirits of the various tribes came to demand an explanation from Peng Xi.
"Senior Sanshan, Heavenly Emperor Haoyu's divine skills are unparalleled, and he is the most powerful Emperor Level expert in our universe."
His Heavenly Court is one of the strongest forces we can currently access.
Now that Kunlun Heaven is closed off, preventing extraterrestrial deities from entering, it is a good opportunity for us to seek refuge with the Heavenly Court.
If we wait until Kunlun Heaven collapses and the Pan Emperor Great World becomes a masterless plane that all extraterrestrial beings can easily descend upon, then it won't be so easy for us to seek refuge with a top-tier power like the Heavenly Court.
The reason I'm doing this today is for the sake of countless living beings in our Pan Emperor Great World!
Peng Xi looked worried and spoke earnestly. If Chen Mu hadn't witnessed him killing people without blinking an eye, he might have believed that Peng Xi was acting in the best interests of the bigger picture.
However, the Three Mountains Patriarch was insightful and worldly-wise, so how could he be easily persuaded? But he still hadn't figured out a solution to the chaos in Kunlun Heaven, so he could only sigh and give Peng Xi some advice.
"In terms of strength and background, Heavenly Emperor Haoyu is indeed the best candidate to take over the Pan Emperor Great World."
Unfortunately, he had ulterior motives and always wanted to devour the power of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao to strengthen his own Nine Heavens Realm.
If the Pan Emperor World falls into his hands, it will be no different from it being occupied by other alien races.
"Hmph! That's all slander against the Heavenly Emperor by hostile forces."
The Haotian Empire has ruled the Pan Emperor Continent for nearly ten thousand years, and hasn't it always governed it well?
"If it weren't for the chaos caused by the Abyss Devil Race, the Heavenly Emperor would have unified the Pan Emperor Continent long ago, and wouldn't still be unable to become the Pan Emperor."
Peng Xi shook his head, not believing the words of the Three Mountains Patriarch.
"You are utterly foolish; how could you possibly see through the Heavenly Emperor's methods?"
During the war of the gods a thousand years ago, everyone believed that the Heavenly Emperor had gained the approval of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao, which was why he was able to establish the Haotian Empire on the Pan Emperor Continent.
However, the Three Mountains Patriarch knew very well that the Heavenly Emperor and the Abyss Devil Race were both able to gain the right to freely enter and leave the Pan Emperor Continent because they devoured some fragments of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you now. When I issued the decree, I said that if any god dared to perform a live sacrifice in Kunlun Heaven, he would be imprisoned in the Black Abyss for ten thousand years."
Peng Xi, Wan Peng, Mo Tan, are you going to surrender, or should we take action?
When the Three Mountains Patriarch issued the decree, it was jointly approved by all the gods of Kunlun Heaven, and its implementation is naturally carried out jointly by all the gods.
At this moment, more and more deities arrived, exceeding ten in number. They all stared at Peng Xi and his companions with hostility. Even though Peng Xi was resentful, he dared not make any rash moves.
"Everyone, the Kunlun Heaven Realm is about to disappear, so why cling to these outdated customs and traditions?"
"Wouldn't it be far better to join me in surrendering to the Heavenly Court and using Heavenly Court power to help me advance to the True God Realm than to remain in this corrupt supreme plane?"
Peng Xi's persuasive words, though ineffective, did buy some time.
At that very moment, where Wu Xiong was standing, Peng Xi's three supreme treasures of Shaman Dao shone brightly, and countless divine runes of Shaman Dao soared into the sky, intertwining with the heavenly light in the air.
With less than half the offerings, the power was no longer sufficient for the Heart of Pan Emperor to accept the new God.
However, it is more than enough to allow the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao to accept Heavenly Emperor Haoyu into the Kunlun Heaven Realm.
Peng Xi no longer concealed himself, raising his hands and directing the power of the Heavenly Dao in the air to break through the boundary membrane, revealing a terrifying aura within.
