Chapter 48 Reversal of the Battle
"roar……"
Chu Ge roared to the sky and fought the Black Dragon King. Ye Lingyun cut across the four directions and fought a fierce battle with Qian Jun. Yan Qi activated the Immortal Cauldron and clashed with Fang He Dao Ren.
Having recovered their strength after taking the elixir, Yu Zhe and Chuan Ying also joined the melee.
Outside, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is watching intently, ready to strike at any moment.
The laws of the imperial path raged across the desolate frontiers of the universe, and the blood of quasi-emperors was scattered across the starry sky.
The remnants of the Heavenly Court formed a vast array that stretched to the heavens, clashing head-on with the opposing army, their battle aura soaring to the sky.
Jiang Ling also stepped out and instantly arrived at the edge of the universe, bringing Qin Wuxiang and Pan Dao out of the battlefield.
"The First Emperor..."
Upon seeing Jiang Ling's arrival, the battlefield paused briefly as both sides watched her with bated breath.
They were all afraid that Jiang Ling would make a move and leave them all here.
"Excellent! The First Emperor has made his move; this battle can now cease!"
Across the starry sky, many people cheered loudly upon seeing Jiang Ling appear.
As the great war reached this point, many beings across the universe were panicked, fearing that the war would escalate further, that a supreme being would emerge, and that it would evolve into a divine war that would sweep across the entire starry sky.
The deployment of supreme beings is a completely different concept from the current large-scale battle.
The Supreme War will inevitably destroy countless star systems, and all the participating forces, except for the remnants of the Heavenly Court, have a Supreme Being from a forbidden zone behind them.
Such a great war would inevitably sweep across many star fields, because it was necessary to purge the remnants of the Heavenly Court.
"Your Majesty, please do not interfere. This is a feud between us and the Underworld, and it must be settled today!"
"Indeed, the remnants of the Heavenly Court will be annihilated today. I urge the First Emperor not to interfere!"
Both sides were bloodthirsty and shouted loudly at Jiang Ling.
The Heavenly Court has given it their all in this battle, deploying all the divine generals sealed away from the mythological era.
Regardless of whether they won or lost this battle, they suffered heavy losses.
Having won, they died without regret, taking with them all the main culprits who had destroyed the Heavenly Court.
They were defeated, they were all wiped out, and the Heavenly Court will become a page of history recorded in ancient times, never to defy fate again.
Even if they neither win nor lose and manage to retreat unscathed, the sealed-off divine generals will inevitably pass away soon.
The consequence of this is that their descendants and the remnants of the Heavenly Court will continue to eke out a living, no longer able to fight against forces such as the Underworld.
Ultimately, the problem lies in the lack of top-tier combat power in the Heavenly Court's Cloud Vein. If the sealed-off divine generals were to pass away, the remaining Heavenly Court lineage would only have Ye Wujiang as its top-tier combat power.
The Underworld, which is hostile to the remnants of the Heavenly Court, is not lacking in top-tier combat power. Even Yu Zhe is a formidable individual.
Although he did not attain enlightenment in this life, judging from his two tribulations, who dares to say that he has no hope of attaining enlightenment?
With his current combat power, if he were sealed into the next great era, achieving enlightenment would pose no obstacle for him.
Therefore, the remaining members of the Heavenly Court all hoped to take away the main culprits who destroyed the Heavenly Court in this battle.
Especially Yu Zhe, those supreme beings in the forbidden zone of life might not be able to do it, nor do they have the ability to attack the forbidden zone of life.
But Yu Zhe is different. If he misses this opportunity, once these divine generals pass away, no one in the remaining lineage of the Heavenly Court will be able to defeat him.
Moreover, Yu Zhe was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Heavenly Court. Compared to the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, they still have a certain hope of eliminating Yu Zhe.
As for the army of the underworld, the powerful figures of the forbidden zones, and Yu Zhe and others, they secretly joined forces to achieve their goal in one fell swoop, hoping to take this opportunity to wipe out the remaining forces of the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, both sides were very opposed to Jiang Ling's arrival.
However, as far as Jiang Ling was concerned, they were just fighting like dogs, and he would not get involved or stop them. In fact, he would be happy to see them fight to the death.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't involve any ancient stars existing in this remote corner of the universe, you can fight each other to the death!"
Jiang Ling spoke, and the imperial divine might shook the heavens and the earth, looking down upon all living beings.
After saying that, Jiang Ling led Qin Wuxiang and Pan Dao out of the edge of the universe.
"The First Emperor..."
"this……"
Many people who saw this scene were puzzled.
In their minds, Jiang Ling should take strong action to stop the fighting and prevent it from continuing.
Instead of letting them fight each other like we are now.
As for appreciating the talent and character of Chuan Ying and others, otherwise, the destruction of the Heavenly Court would not have been something Jiang Ling would have done.
Chuanying and the remnants of the Heavenly Court are not loyal to him. Even if he tries his best to curry favor with them, Chuanying and the remnants of the Heavenly Court will never turn to his side.
Moreover, it is precisely because Jiang Ling admires them that she will not stop them.
Their grudges with the underworld, the forbidden zones of life, and the exiled immortals are higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
If we try to stop them from taking revenge at this time, they will surely become our enemies.
True appreciation means respecting and supporting them.
Even knowing they would eventually die, we must grant their wish, because they have already made their decision.
"It seems that the First Emperor also wanted to sit back and watch the tigers fight!"
"Times have changed. This is no longer the age of mythology, but the ancient era!"
Some people remarked that they understood Jiang Ling's thoughts.
Whether they are descendants of the Heavenly Court or powerful figures from the Underworld or forbidden zones, they are all obstacles to the Dao Court's unification of the world.
Although the Heavenly Court was destroyed, many descendants of the gods survived and continued to dominate various realms.
They may become a great religion, dominating the ancient star, or a powerful clan, subduing the star field.
In ten thousand years, apart from the lack of any enlightened beings, the remnants of the Heavenly Court have already reached the heights of their peak at the end of the mythological era.
As long as one achieves enlightenment, given the ancient Heavenly Court's influence in the universe, it could almost instantly rebuild the Heavenly Court and recreate the glory of the mythological era.
This is why the Emperor's horn can now gather countless warriors.
Those great sects and powerful clans are destined to never be of one mind with the Dao Court.
Through this battle, the remnants of the Heavenly Court and the descendants of those divine generals will be thoroughly cleaned up, allowing the newly joined powerful figures of the Dao Court to obtain more resources and establish the Dao Court's position in the universe.
"What a cunning young man!"
"However, that's also true. To him, the remnants of the Heavenly Court and we are all beings from the old era; it's impossible for us to unite with him!"
The two supreme beings who had just emerged from the world looked at Jiang Ling as she walked away and spoke, their expressions filled with a sense of loss.
Judging from Jiang Ling's attitude towards the remnants of the Heavenly Court, the other party is also a figure like the Emperor, extremely powerful.
"Perhaps it won't be long before the grandeur of the Heavenly Court from the mythological era reappears!"
"The coexistence of all the Venerable Ones, exploring the Immortal Realm together—what a glorious era that was! If it weren't for the Emperor's treacherous intentions, we might already be in the Immortal Realm!"
The supreme figures in the restricted area had complex expressions.
They also deeply regretted the failure of the Heavenly Court in the mythological era.
They severed their own limbs and sealed themselves into the immortal source for endless years, all for the sake of becoming immortals.
When the Emperor entered the forbidden zone and approached them, explaining his idea of jointly conquering the Immortal Realm, no supreme being in the forbidden zone was unmoved.
Immortal Realm!
That's the place they all dream of entering.
At the Emperor's invitation, more than a dozen supreme beings from various forbidden zones joined the Heavenly Court at the end of the mythological era to devise a plan with the Emperor to enter the Immortal Realm.
After thousands of years, they conquered the Kunlun Immortal Mountain on the Flying Immortal Star and used the main vein of Kunlun to forge the Immortal Cauldron.
By combining the power of all the Venerable Ones, they refined the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, restoring those Venerable Ones who had been reborn to their peak state.
Everything that the Emperor and the Heavenly Court did was seen by these supreme beings.
They had no reason to doubt that the Emperor's summoning of such a supreme being and his numerous schemes were not for the purpose of entering the Immortal Realm.
In order to enter the Immortal Realm and become an immortal, countless supreme beings have devoted their efforts to the Heavenly Court, working with the Emperor to set up an unparalleled array that can be used to attack the Immortal Realm.
But little did they expect that the Emperor harbored treacherous intentions; the so-called "leading the entire sect to immortality" was merely a means to achieve his own scheme.
He actually intends to refine the entire universe, sacrifice all living beings and supreme beings in many forbidden zones. Even the supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life could not accept such an act.
Therefore, an unprecedented battle among the various deities occurred on the path to immortality, as they joined forces to kill the Emperor.
"kill!"
As Jiang Ling departed, the deafening sounds of battle once again echoed across the desolate edge of the universe, with numerous supreme experts attacking without regard for the cost, all in an attempt to annihilate their opponent.
boom!
The universe trembled, stars fell, and Yan Qi's body underwent a dramatic transformation. Endless immortal light and the sun, moon, and stars surrounded him, and the image of the universe collapsing appeared in his eyes.
Under Yan Qi's control, the Immortal Cauldron firmly suppressed the Bronze Immortal Palace, and green immortal clouds continued to drift.
The two fought fiercely, traversing one desolate cosmic border after another, and plunged into chaos to engage in a final showdown.
Here, there is no light, no life, no complete galaxy; everywhere are fragments of stars and enormous corpses, larger than an entire star field.
As the two fought fiercely, it was as if the world was repeating itself, time and space were shattered, and through the fragments of time and space, some incomplete scenes could be seen.
In the distance, one can vaguely see endless heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as a massive number of underworld soldiers, traversing the star field, embarking on their journey, not knowing where they are going to conquer.
boom!
The body of the Crane-Releasing Taoist was also shattered several times, with blood and light surging like a sea, vast and boundless for countless light-years, terrifying the world.
The human body possesses such immense power; if this continues, the universe could truly be destroyed—an endless storm that would sweep across everything, unstoppable.
"Since you're so determined to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Yan Qi also became truly enraged, determined to completely annihilate Fang He Dao Ren.
The Crane-Releasing Taoist's face was extremely grim. He had agreed to help Yu Zhe in order to prolong his life.
But with Yan Qi's incredibly reckless fighting style, let alone prolonging his life, whether he can even survive is still unknown.
"Damn it!"
Even with his good temper, the Taoist priest Fanghe couldn't help but utter a curse under such circumstances.
Roar!
The Crane-Releasing Taoist roared, then moved his hands, and a mysterious aura emerged, instantly multiplying his combat power several times over.
The endless Dao transforms countless moves into one, and the phantom of a white-feathered crane appears behind him, as if a true supreme being is looking down at the starry sky.
Nine Secrets!
As one of the most powerful people of his time, Daoist Fanghe also had his own opportunities and acquired many secret techniques.
boom!
The crane cried out and pounced on the Flame Qilin.
The next moment, the Nine Secrets also appeared on Yan Qi's body. As a divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, how could he not have mastered the Nine Secrets?
Sensing the Nine Secrets on the Crane-Releasing Daoist, he also made his move, forming hand seals and outlining a seven-colored Dao lotus in the void.
This is Yan Qi's understanding and application of Tao and Law, encompassing numerous laws, Tao patterns, runes, and order.
The tiny runes and order flowing and tracing across the lotus seemed to possess a world-destroying power.
As soon as the magnificent Dao Lotus appeared, Daoist Fanghe felt a sense of unease. If he were to be struck, even he would likely be unable to escape unscathed.
The Daoist Fanghe took a deep breath, and several star fields nearby went out. If people of their level were to recover by absorbing large amounts of spiritual energy from the universe, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe.
But at this moment, Daoist Fanghe couldn't care less about that. He activated the Nine Secrets and unleashed a supreme killing technique towards Daolian.
boom!
As if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the four corners and eight wastelands of the universe were shaking, and countless void rifts appeared on the battlefield between Yan Qi and Fang He Dao Ren.
The boundless and supreme divine power spread throughout the universe. Both of them unleashed attacks that were close to those of immortals, causing the universe to fall silent for a short period of time.
boom!
The Crane-Releasing Taoist was sent flying, crashing into the edge of the universe and shattering star after star.
"It's the Taoist Priest Fanghe!"
The Black Dragon King and his companions, who were engaged in a fierce battle on the edge of the universe, also noticed the intense fluctuations in the universe.
Through the images conveyed by the fragments of time and space, they also saw the scene of Fanghe Daoren's body being shattered by Yan Qi.
"As expected of a divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, his combat power is so formidable!" Qianjun exclaimed.
"No, it should be said that Daoist Fanghe is more extraordinary, able to fight Yanqi to this extent!" Qianjun said with a solemn expression.
The others exchanged glances. Both Yan Qi and Fang He Dao Ren were much stronger than they had been at their peak.
Although they were all strong in their respective fields, there were still differences in strength.
All living beings in the universe were watching the great battle between Yan Qi and Fang He Dao Ren, especially the Heavenly Court's followers. They prayed in their hearts that Yan Qi would defeat Fang He Dao Ren and settle scores with his enemies.
However, the experts in the Heavenly Court at the level of divine generals were not optimistic about the development of the battle.
Although Yan Qi was strong, Fang He Dao Ren was no weakling either. Although the two could not determine a winner for the time being, they could see clearly that if the battle continued, Yan Qi would probably be defeated.
Because the battle has progressed to this point, Yan Qi has begun to fight desperately, and he is under immense pressure.
They cannot afford to lose this battle; if they are defeated, they will never have another chance to rise again.
Leaving aside Daoist Fanghe, there are also armies from the Underworld and powerful figures from forbidden zones in the desolate borderlands of the universe, and those people are not weak either.
Although the Heavenly Court's remnants and those beings were locked in a stalemate, the Heavenly Court's remnants had already given their all. If another top-tier combatant were to appear in the forbidden zone or the underworld, they would undoubtedly be defeated.
They had no doubt that top-tier combat power existed in the underworld and forbidden zones.
On the other side, after defeating the Crane-Releasing Taoist, Yan Qi activated the secret of military tactics and pressed down on the Bronze Immortal Palace. The deities inside the Bronze Immortal Palace cried out and fiercely resisted.
However, without the blessing of the Crane-Releasing Daoist and with the suppression of the Immortal-Ascension Cauldron, the Bronze Immortal Palace was no match for Yan Qi.
Swish!
Under Yan Qi's divine power, the Bronze Immortal Palace shrank to the size of a fist and floated in his palm.
After subduing the Bronze Immortal Palace, Yan Qi looked towards the edge of the universe, where the Crane-Releasing Daoist had already reconstructed his true form.
Seeing Yan Qi approaching him, Daoist Fanghe immediately tore through the void and left the edge of the universe.
"The Crane-Releasing Taoist has been defeated!"
An elderly emperor, upon witnessing this scene, remarked with emotion.
"Hahaha, the Crane-Releasing Taoist has been defeated! We are destined for victory! Kill!"
Those who were remnants of the Heavenly Court were greatly encouraged by this scene and, spurred on by the war horns, launched a killing spree.
"You think you can defy the heavens?!"
Yu Zhe shouted, "Although the Crane-Releasing Daoist was defeated, they are not without the power to fight back."
The few surviving gods of the ancient Heavenly Court were all short of life force, and if the battle continued, they would inevitably be worn down to death.
Even Yan Qi did not return to the battlefield immediately after defeating Fang He Dao Ren and suppressing the Bronze Immortal Palace.
Because he was no longer able to fight, continuing to attack would only lead to his death from exhaustion.
However, even though he couldn't participate in the battle himself, Yan Qi still threw the Immortal Ascension Cauldron out to Chu Ge, asking him to take action.
The deity within the Immortal Ascension Cauldron had already revived, its power overwhelming the starry sky. After falling into Chu Ge's hands, it became even more ferocious, causing the Black Dragon King to retreat in defeat.
