Free Web NovelChapter 436: Chapter 72: Primordial Slaughter, Innate Divine Demons
A massive Jade Pool Fragment descended from the sky, unleashing a world-shaking wave that precisely enveloped the entire Kongtong Mountain Range!
"This will suffice. This will suffice!"
Within the void between heaven and earth, the Incomplete Immortal opened his eyes. A brilliant gleam of essence burst forth, illuminating the Celestial Realms. A smile graced his lips as he became the first to rise.
One after another, beings of the Immortal Level strode forward, swarming in and descending upon the Ancestor Star. Their Immortal auras rampaged wildly throughout the Kongtong Mountain Range.
Scoured by this immense pressure, some peaks cried out in anguish. The peach trees covering the mountains snapped, and then entire mountains began to collapse!
The only thing left intact was the Ancient Kongtong Mountain, anchored by the Guangcheng Daoist Palace at its peak. This Divine Palace was itself a Supreme Treasure, one that was "Everywhere" and "Spanned the Celestial Realms."
Although it trembled and boulders tumbled down its slopes, Kongtong Mountain was otherwise unharmed.
Inside the Daoist Palace, however, many of the guests were in a panic. The Old Celestial Master, Yan Huang, and the other Immortals rose to their feet. After reassuring the guests, they walked out of the Guangcheng Daoist Palace together to gaze at the extraordinary spectacle in the sky.
"They’re here!"
The Little White Dragon’s face was deathly pale, and beside him, Sha Wujing was deeply unsettled. He had, in a sense, betrayed the Demon Ancestor and the Immortal Mother. A great calamity was likely to befall him!
In contrast, Li Changgeng and the Big Black Bull, whose cultivation had only just recovered to the Immortal Level, were exceptionally calm. Both wore smiles as they followed the middle-aged Daoist, strolling out to stand upon the peak.
「At that moment.」
"By the great decree... of the Immortal Mother."
As the majestic voice faded, more than a dozen figures of the Immortal Level—Celestial Venerables and great Buddhas—materialized, their presence weighing down upon the clouds.
Then, a Great Saint of the Demon Race led the way, striding forward with heavy steps. A single footfall sent three thousand miles of dense clouds churning endlessly.
"It’s the Chaotic Heaven Great Saint!" The Little White Dragon’s heart skipped a beat, his expression turning grim. "A Great Saint transformed from a Great Peng, with the power to strike down the very heavens!"
Next came a towering Wounded Immortal with an air of immense majesty, his body wreathed in an ancient killing intent. Accompanied by Immortal Music, auspicious omens, and more, he too blotted out a section of the sky. fгeewebnovёl.com
"True Saint Tianpeng," Li Changgeng remarked with a sigh. "The former head of the Four Saints of the North Pole..."
As he said this, he couldn’t resist stealing a glance at the somber-faced middle-aged Daoist beside him. The latter tilted his head up slightly to gaze at the scene in the sky, a laugh escaping his lips instead of a scowl.
"Jiang Shang."
"What?" The Big Black Bull glanced over in confusion. Just then, the blare of an ancient war horn echoed from the Celestial Vault, and another Immortal emerged. His hair was snow-white, as were his temples, and his long beard draped down to his chest.
"It’s him!" The color drained from Shen Gonghu’s face. He instantly recognized this figure from his past—his former, greatest nemesis.
A Registered Disciple of the Jade Void Sect, he who presided over the great tribulation of the Late Shang Dynasty—Jiang Taigong, Jiang Ziya!
A chill seized Shen Gonghu’s heart. ’There are already three beings at the Celestial Realms Level bearing down on us. Can the True Phoenix and the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven... possibly stop them?’
Just as fear gripped his heart, the middle-aged Daoist closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh.
A moment later, the fourth and fifth beings of the Celestial Realms appeared simultaneously. They were two Ancient Buddhas, flanking the others on the left and right.
The one on the left possessed a presence as vast as the boundless firmament, his immense majesty shaking heaven and earth. The one on the right had a Merit Golden Wheel floating behind his head, was draped in a Kasaya, and held an Alms Staff. Though his brow was furrowed and his eyes downcast, the aura of power surrounding him surpassed even that of the other Ancient Buddha!
"Mas... Master??" Sha Wujing and the Little White Dragon stared, dumbfounded, crying out in unison as confusion washed over them.
’How could Master be here?’
’This is impossible... This shouldn’t be happening...’
Amidst their shock, the five beings of the Celestial Realms Level—an Upper Celestial Venerable, Ancient Buddhas, and a Great Saint—loomed in the Celestial Vault, their colossal figures almost completely blotting out the three-thousand-mile sky.
These great personages, all renowned even in Ancient Times, brazenly unleashed their auras. Under the strain, even the Guangcheng Daoist Palace and the Ancient Kongtong Mountain groaned as if overburdened, teetering on the verge of collapse!
The faces of the guests on the peak were utterly pale. Despair filled the Old Celestial Master’s eyes, Yan Huang secretly prepared a Killing Skill, and Qing Lianzi was already contemplating surrender...
The only three who remained calm were Li Changgeng, the Big Black Bull, and Ben Bo’Erba.
「Meanwhile, in the sky.」
"Hm?"
The five beings of the Celestial Realms faltered in unison, sensing that something was amiss. When they swept the area with their Divine Thought, they found no trace of Lu Xuan. Instead... ’Are those... familiar faces?’
True Saint Tianpeng and the Chaotic Heaven Great Saint, now filled with suspicion, glanced aside. A Giant Bull and a True Phoenix were glaring at them menacingly, their forms also wreathed in grand vistas of all worlds and all realms.
The Sandalwood Merit Buddha, holding his Alms Staff and draped in his Kasaya, lowered his gaze in astonishment, staring at the seemingly weeping Sha Wujing and Little White Dragon on the peak.
The Upper Celestial Venerable, revered as Taigong, met Shen Gonghu’s gaze. A look of wistful nostalgia, tinged with a hint of guilt, surfaced on his face, which had remained impassive for ages.
As for the Great Strength Buddha, his gaze was fixed on Li Changgeng and the Big Black Bull, his expression suddenly shifting.
A brief silence fell over the world.
"Go back where you came from..." The Giant Bull stepped forth from Flame Mountain. Under the shroud of the Jade Pool Fragment, beings of the Celestial Realms could now walk in the mortal world.
"...and crawl back there!"
With a thunderous roar, the Giant Bull stomped a foot and shot into the sky, a wide grin splitting his face. "Third Brother, it’s been a while!"
As he spoke, the True Phoenix also took to the air, unleashing its immense might and erupting in an unprecedented divine splendor!
The Chaotic Heaven Great Saint’s expression changed drastically.
"Ox Demon King, what are you doing here? I am acting on the great decree of the Demon Ancestor and the Immortal Mother—"
"I told you, go back where you came from! Third Brother, I’m advising you to turn back. It’s for your own good!"
the Giant Bull barked, a grim look hardening his eyes.
At that moment, True Saint Tianpeng let out a cold snort.
"I admit, this is unexpected. To think you all were lying dormant in the Current World. Hmph..."
As he spoke, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Chaotic Heaven, you deal with your former brother. I will capture this True Phoenix. The rest of you—destroy this place, find Lu Xuan, and execute him!"
The moment his words fell, True Saint Tianpeng struck without hesitation. He was the former head of the Four Saints of the North Pole, a master of slaughter. Every gesture he made invoked heaven’s own killing intent as he entangled the True Phoenix in a fierce battle!
