Jade Capital Heaven, the Eight Legions

Let's rewind to an hour earlier, when Lü Yan had just left Bronze Island.

Great Yunmeng Marsh, on Flying Peak.

Several days later, the Heavenly Realm was still being depicted in [Wutian Mirror].

But Li Boyang and Xiluo were no longer the only onlookers in the courtyard.

Jinjiao, Yinjiao, and Wangshu also appeared in the mountain god temple, curiously gazing at the Heavenly Realm in the [Haotian Mirror].

The Heavenly Realm is divided into Thirty-Three Heavens, but these Thirty-Three Heavens do not have a conventional distinction between high and low.

Just like those blessed lands and grotto-heavens that exist in reality.

These Thirty-Three Heavens are essentially all superimposed spaces and times.

They intertwine and blend together, presenting a multi-dimensional spatiotemporal state.

In the original division of the Six Desire Heavens, the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings was connected to the subconscious sea of sentient beings, a space-time between reality and illusion. However, after Great Unity Dao Proving, the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings was divided into four: Heaven of Upholding the Nation, Heaven of Growth, Heaven of Broad Vision, Heaven of Much Hearing.

The "hearing consciousness" of all beings, as perceived by Heaven of Upholding the Nation, is the subconscious constructed from countless decadent sounds.

The Heaven of Growth corresponds to the "wisdom of growth" of all beings, which is the subconscious composed of countless afflictions, desires, and wisdom.

The Heaven of Broad Vision corresponds to the "things seen by the eyes" of all living beings, and is the subconscious dream realm closest to the real world.

The Heaven of Much Hearing corresponds to the "smell-grasping greed" of sentient beings and is the most bizarre and fantastical of the four layers of the subconscious sea.

Above these four heavens lies the Jade Capital Heaven, where the Great Sun, transformed from the Great Unity, resides—originally the Renli Heaven.

All Thirty-Three Heavens converge in this Jade Capital Heaven.

All living beings can also travel through this Jade Capital Heaven to the other Thirty-Three Heavens.

Therefore, if we had to assign a "central place" to these Thirty-Three Heavens, then without a doubt it would be the Jade Capital Heaven.

But at this very moment, a milky white ocean appeared in the very center of Jade Capital Heaven.

From the initial whirlpool to the central sea today, everyone present practically watched this vast ocean take shape little by little.

Where did all this Nectar of Immortality from?

"Isn't this number a bit too outrageous?"

Yinjiao gasped in disbelief, still unable to accept that the milky white ocean was actually the Nectar of Immortality.

As the name suggests, "the Nectar of Immortality" can be considered a shortcut to immortality.

Although it cannot compare to immortality elixirs like Peach of Immortality of Elixir of Immortality, it can indeed grant all living beings the attribute of "immortality".

Just one sip can restore youth to the body, dramatically increase strength, and even grant a degree of immortality.

Most importantly, there was simply too much of that Nectar of Immortality nectar.

Surrounding the Nectar of Immortality that had now formed an ocean, the Heavenly Realm had witnessed several major battles in just a few days.

First, the Devas Garuda, led by Śakra, left Good View City to try to find the source of this Nectar of Immortality.

Then the Eight Legions, formed from the desires of all beings, appeared in turn and fought against the Śakra's retinue in Good View City.

As the fighting intensifies, the conflict continues to escalate...

The once peaceful Heavenly Realm quickly became a true battlefield, and the powerful figures hidden in the Thirty-Three Heavens were gradually drawn into the war. Every moment, people perished in the Ocean of Milk, and then more people joined the war.

Among them, the most outstanding performers were undoubtedly the Garuda under the command of Śakra.

His entire body was engulfed in the blazing True Solar Fire...

Each feather possesses the property of being indestructible...

Garuda Lu Ya led his people and was the first to drive away the weakest of the Nagas.

After all, since the death of the Eight Great Dragon Kings and the settlement of the Dragon Race in the four seas, only the Naga Nagas in the Heavenly Realm.

The pools are not the retinue of the Water Mother Primordial Lady, but rather the embodiment of the desires of all living beings.

The pools, drawn by desire, yearn for the power of the Nectar of Immortality, and their numbers are ever-increasing.

Even with Lu Ya's killing speed of "devouring one large dragon by day and five hundred small dragons by night," it was still difficult to keep up with the Naga's replenishment rate. And just at this moment, the Mahoraga, known for their foolishness and ignorance, also joined the battle.

Compared to the Naga, the Mahoraga possessed astonishing power and a dragon-like, serpentine form, quickly joining forces with the former to form an alliance. The battle between the two sides stirred up monstrous waves in the Ocean of Milk, causing the ocean to overflow towards the continent and attracting even more powerful beings to join the war.

Therefore, when the Kinnara Gandharva also began to appear on the edge of the battlefield, Śakra immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Five of the eight classes of demon kings, which were manifestations of the desires of sentient beings, had already joined the battle.

If this battle continues to escalate, who knows what might happen next.

Having figured this out, Śakra dared not hesitate any longer and called upon his celestial Devas to join the battle.

In fact, Śakra's forces consisted of more than just Garuda and Devas.

Many individuals from the Eight Legions joined Śakra's ranks, including even the Buddhas, Bodhisattva, and Vajra Arhats of Yama Heaven. However, considering both combat strength and more practical factors, Śakra chose to have them garrison Good View City.

To Śakra's utter surprise, he had only just summoned his Devas Dipper Division to join the battle.

The Ocean of Milk then underwent another mutation.

A jet-black, highly toxic substance gushed forth from the churning vortex.

These deadly toxins, mixed with the Ocean of Milk, completely contaminated the Nectar of Immortality.

Countless beings who wanted to consume the elixir of Nectar of Immortality during the battle perished amidst their agonizing screams.

Because the deadly poisons indiscriminately killed everything that entered the Ocean of Milk, the previously tense and fierce battlefield fell silent. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the last two demon kings among the Eight Legions had also joined the battle.

Born from Hell, the Asura and Yakshas emerged from the whirlpools of the Ocean of Milk, seemingly unaffected by the deadly poison. Coupled with their immense fighting prowess, they simultaneously challenged the Devas, Naga, Garuda, Kinnara, Gandharva, and Mahoraga.

Of course, calling it a "challenge" might not be entirely accurate.

Under the leadership of Minghe, the Lord of Asura, the Asura and Yakshas races were driving out all beings that attempted to approach the Ocean of Milk. The war had now reached its most intense point, with the Eight Legions fighting fiercely around the Ocean of Milk.

Śakra even personally led several charges.

Only then did they understand why the Asura and Yakshas, races that had long since migrated to the Netherworld Heavenly Realm on a large scale. It turned out that those "highly poisonous" substances were not poisonous fog in the conventional sense.

Their essence is a mixture of the Heavenly Realm and Yin World energies, a tainted Nectar of Immortality.

Heaven knows how the Minghe did it; the pool somehow drilled a "hole" in the center of the Ocean of Milk, forcibly opening a passage between the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld, just like the "Yin World Nether Spring" in the human world.

In the very center of the Ocean of Milk, the gushing forth deadly poison is the "Yin World Nether Spring" of the Heavenly Realm.

If we disregard everything else and only consider the level of danger, those gushing toxins are far more potent than the "Yin World Nether Spring" in the human realm. After all, the Yin World Nether Spring only pollutes the waters of the East Sea, while these toxins pollute the Nectar of Immortality.

Aside from Asura and Yakshas, who inherently possess dual-realm attributes, these corrupted Nectar of Immortality are fatal to anyone. (Town/Monthly Tickets/Recommendation Tickets - Double Up)
