Free Web NovelChapter 482: Chapter 102: Immortals Fall Like Rain, Even the Celestial Emperor Has Rebelled
"I-It’s... fine!"
The Immortal Mother’s expression was icy. With a flick of her wrist, the Great Seal of the Emperor Earth Deity appeared in her hand. She said,
"Supreme Profound Clarity... Profound Yellow..."
She took a deep breath, a fierce glint appearing in her eyes.
"Earth Deities of the world, hear this decree! Let the earth crack, the rivers and mountains overturn, and the ranges collapse!"
"Earth Virtue, heed this command! Let dragons and serpents rise from the roads, topple this Human World, and bring down this Dynasty!"
The Great Seal in the Immortal Mother’s hand glowed as she let out a cold laugh.
"The Demon Race is obstructed, the Underworld Department has rebelled, the Human Race attacks the heavens... And now we have these boundless Earth Deities, impossible to cut down, impossible to slaughter. If they were all to be exterminated, the wrath of Earth Virtue would be incurred..."
Before she could finish, a terrible premonition arose in the hearts of the other Daluo. Emperor Gouchen said coolly,
"Those words... that phrase ’it’s fine’... you’ve already said it three times. This is the fourth. Don’t tell me..."
Suddenly.
VMMMM!!
A tremor blasted through the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms!
"An announcement to Heaven and Earth!"
The Immortal Gods looked over and saw that upon Central Mount Song, the Five Mountains Emperor were prostrating in five directions, a grand ritual underway.
And standing at the very center of the ritual, at the point where the Five Mountains Emperor bowed their heads, was the Profound Yellow Emperor, born with three heads, six faces, nine arms, and eighteen pupils!
A deeply ominous feeling emerged in the hearts of the many Daluo and Immortal Gods.
The next instant.
Lu Xuan’s six faces lifted simultaneously. His eighteen eyes swept across the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms as he grinned, the Six Paths Plate spinning behind him and the Blood Sea churning above his head!
He let out a layered, reverberating roar:
"My name is Profound Yellow, and today I announce to the Celestial Realms."
"The venerable title of [Emperor Earth Deity] has returned to its rightful place."
The Celestial Vault quaked. The worldly authority of Heaven and Earth materialized above this great demon’s head. Visions of the mountains and rivers of the Celestial Realms rose and fell as an Emperor’s Robe appeared on his body.
The world fell silent for a moment.
Then, all Earth Deities turned to face Mount Song and kowtowed!
Lu Xuan felt the profound and mysterious authority of Heaven and Earth being bestowed upon him. The terrestrial power of All Realms was surging toward him!
He had a premonition that if he could completely devour the terrestrial power of the Celestial Realms and fully integrate the position of Emperor Earth Deity,
he might be able to enter the realm of the All-Heavens!
That would take time.
But for now... this was enough.
"ROAR!!"
Lu Xuan’s six faces turned skyward, his eighteen eyes glaring at the Celestial Vault above. His layered roar was so shocking that the Celestial Palaces in the sky shook unceasingly, and countless Immortal Gods stumbled!
"Immortal Mother, how will you break this predicament!"
As his voice fell, the Heaven-Ascending Ladders that had formed from the three hundred and sixty-five Heaven-Reaching Platforms now reached the Celestial Vault!
Three hundred and sixty-five armies, long prepared, ascended the Celestial Ladders. They raised their weapons and marched toward the heavens!
The Four Seas roiled as countless True Dragons surged from their depths. The Ancestral Dragon roared at the sky.
In the North Netherworld, there was a fish that transformed into a Peng, striking the sea and soaring upward, its great waves crashing against the Celestial Vault.
Ying Zheng, riding his Nine Dragon Chariot and leading Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Bai Qi, Yan Huang, and others, marched in defiance.
In the East Pole Celestial Vault, Emperor Fengdu had already ascended to the heavens with hundreds of millions of Yin Messenger Ghost Soldiers!
"Immortal Mother, how will you break this predicament?"
Lu Xuan asked again, leading the Five Mountains Emperor and the Mountain Gods and Earth Gods, ascending step by step. Behind him, the Six Paths spun, and beside him, the Infinite Blood Sea transformed into a torrent!
The Thirty-Three Celestial Realms were thrown into chaos.
"Issue the order to all armies!"
The Immortal Mother stepped into Lingxiao Hall. Ignoring the nonchalant Emperor Corpse, she issued a decree from behind the screen:
"Announce to the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms: all armies are to gather! Slay Fengdu, slaughter the True Dragons, strike down the Kunpeng, and suppress this human catastrophe!"
The decree had just been issued when an Immortal God stumbled into Lingxiao Hall, crying out hoarsely:
"Report! Marshal Tianpeng, leading the eight hundred thousand strong Celestial River Navy, has rebelled!"
"Report! Erlang Xiansheng True Monarch, leading one hundred thousand Grass Gods, has rebelled!"
"Report! The Three Altar Sea Assembly, holding the Pagoda-bearing Celestial King hostage, has rebelled with the one million Celestial Soldiers under his command!"
One urgent report after another arrived. The Immortal Mother felt dizzy, and all the Immortal and Divine Officials burst into an uproar!
An old Immortal Minister’s lips trembled as he muttered, lost in a daze:
"The heavens are changing, the heavens are changing..."
"Report!!"
"What is it now?!" the Immortal Mother demanded, her voice thundering.
The one reporting was Venus, Li Changgeng. He offered a respectful bow and said with a wide smile,
"Venus, Li Changgeng, siding with the Profound Yellow Emperor... has rebelled."
Lingxiao Hall fell abruptly silent.
PFFT!
The Emperor Corpse, who had been sipping the Earth Tea sent by Lu Xuan, spat out a mouthful of tea.
The next instant.
A colossal rage surged from the Immortal Mother’s heart, burning through her entire body. She spoke icily, enunciating every word:
"Ve. Nus!"
"Are you provoking me?"
Killing intent flared. Li Changgeng’s body began to crack, but he remained fearless. Enduring the killing intent, he retreated nine steps as the golden star on his forehead bloomed with brilliant light, and his Geng Metal Sword Qi tore through Lingxiao Hall!
The faces of the Immortals changed. They were all in a daze, only now remembering that this Taibai, who had always acted like a kindly old man, was the personification of slaughter, wielding the sharpest Geng Metal Breath in the world!
The God of Slaughter of the Ancient Celestial Court, Taibai.
"Immortal Mother, why so angry?" Li Changgeng asked with a gentle smile. Though his body was covered in cracks, he still performed a leisurely bow.
"The Emperor asked me to inquire of the Immortal Mother: this predicament, how will you break it?"
"Oh, and Immortal Mother, don’t forget... the Daluo are not to interfere."
With that, he turned and simply walked out under everyone’s watchful eyes.
No Immortal tried to stop him.
Either they lacked the power to, or those who had the power were on extremely good terms with Taibai...
After all, he was the Celestial Court’s famously kind old man...
The entire Lingxiao Hall fell into a dead silence. No one dared to look up at the Immortal Mother, but they could all imagine the expression on her face right now...
After a long while, a laugh suddenly rang out.
The Emperor Corpse stretched lazily and said with a grin,
"Jasper Pool, he’s asking you a question. This predicament... how will you break it?"
The Immortals subconsciously looked over, only to see that the Immortal Mother was not as enraged as they had imagined. She merely sighed in exhaustion.
She adjusted the crown on her head and issued a cool decree:
"All who are disloyal, exterminate them."
But the Emperor Corpse suddenly stood up. He also straightened the bloodstained Emperor’s Robe on his body.
He cleared his throat.
"All ministers, follow me outside."
The Immortal and Divine Officials were suddenly invigorated. ’His Majesty has ignored the court’s affairs for countless years. This time... is he finally going to make a move?’
The next instant.
The Emperor Corpse laughed.
"Follow me outside, to joyfully welcome the king’s army!"
???
Three large question marks appeared above the head of every Immortal Official and Divine Official. Several Emperors said in unison:
"Huh???"
But the Emperor Corpse just laughed loudly and walked out of Lingxiao Hall for the first time!
He looked back and asked coolly,
"What, are my orders... no longer to be heeded?"
The Immortal Officials fell silent. They glanced at the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool, then filed out one after another.
The entire Lingxiao Hall was left with only the Immortal Mother!
She closed her eyes.
The two Daluo, Gouchen and Longevity, appeared. Gouchen said,
"Ying Zheng is leading the Human Race in a defiant assault on the West Pole Celestial Palace. I will go first to reorganize the West Pole Celestial Palace and re-establish the West Pole Celestial Court!"
With that, he turned and left.
The Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole sighed.
"The Thunder Division and that Kunpeng are besieging the Southern Celestial Court. I must also return to defend it... Immortal Mother, do not lose heart."
"I have not lost heart."
The Immortal Mother said coldly.
"The final outcome is not yet decided!"
The Emperor of Longevity nodded and also departed. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
「After a moment」
The Immortal Mother muttered to herself coldly:
"Profound Yellow, Haotian..."
With that, she gently clapped her hands, revealing a River of Time, and sighed again.
"Oh, Profound Yellow, do you really think you’ve won?"
As she spoke, a rumbling sound echoed from within the River of Time. From downstream in the river, a vast Celestial Army came marching!
A Daluo is never confined to a single period of time.
She didn’t dare meddle with past history, with the Eastern King serving as a cautionary tale. But in the years of the Current World, she held absolute control and had no such scruples!
A sprawling army marched out from the Future. They arrayed themselves before the Celestial Gate, glaring at the rebels ascending to the heavens and rattling their weapons!
A CLANGOR suddenly erupted.
「And at this moment」
A magnificent figure one hundred thousand zhang tall, accompanied by countless Earth Deities, had arrived outside the Celestial Gate!
Lu Xuan bowed to the Emperor Corpse who had walked out of the Celestial Gate.
"Your Majesty!"
The Emperor Corpse smiled.
"I’ll leave it to you."
With that, he led the Immortal and Divine Officials to the side and ordered the crowd of Immortals to start playing music, joyfully welcoming the king’s army!
「A moment later」
Zhu Wuneng arrived with the eight hundred thousand strong Celestial River Navy.
Nezha arrived, dragging Li Jing along, with a million Celestial Soldiers in tow.
Yang Erlang also appeared in person, leading the Meishan Six Demons and one hundred thousand Grass Gods!
With a green face and sharp fangs, carrying Reincarnation on his back and holding the Fishing Drum, the Gloomy Lamp, and Biyou Palace in his hands, Lu Xuan opened his eighteen eyes. He gazed at the ever-increasing Immortal Army at the Celestial Gate and sighed softly.
’These Daluo can even play like this?’
After a pause, all six of his faces grinned in amusement.
"But so what? As long as the mountains and rivers exist, the Earth Deities are undying and immortal..."
"By my order, kill!"
Countless Earth Deities bowed their heads.
"We obey the Emperor Earth Deity’s command!"
The moment the words fell, innumerable Mountain Gods and Earth Gods surged toward the Celestial Gate. Lu Xuan laughed loudly and personally charged forward, striking out in all directions!
The great war erupted. The Celestial Gate collapsed, and the light of blood flared up across the entire Central Celestial Court!
The Immortal Army from the River of Time seemed endless; when one died, another would walk out. But the same was true for the Earth Deities; when one fell, another would manifest from the mountains, rivers, and the earth!
The three-headed, six-faced, nine-armed Lu Xuan lifted the Innate Infinite Blood Sea, engulfing and slaughtering one Immortal Soldier after another who came from the Future.
Half of the Immortal corpses fell into the Blood Sea, becoming its nourishment!
On this day, the Immortal Blood spread for far more than a million li!
The slaughter continued. Lu Xuan led the charge; Immortals could not withstand a single blow from him, while Yang Jian and the others struck down the Celestial Realm titans of the All-Heavens.
Gradually, the Earth Deities advanced. Blood stained the entire Celestial Court, and the armies slowly fought their way to the outside of Lingxiao Hall!
"Immortal Mother!!"
Lu Xuan’s six faces grinned simultaneously as he let out a layered, earth-shaking roar that killed the nearby Immortal Army soldiers!
He bellowed,
"You are defeated!"
The Immortal Mother sat alone inside Lingxiao Hall and spoke coldly,
"The West Pole has been re-established as a Celestial Court. With the Four Extremes Celestial Court standing firm, how can I be defeated?"
"Is that so?"
Lu Xuan laughed again. He activated the Eleven Directions Innate Great Realm and blasted an Immortal Celestial Venerable to pieces, drenching himself in Immortal Blood!
He spoke softly,
"Fengdu and Qing Hua are locked in battle. Kunpeng and the Ancestral Dragon are leading the Thunder Division in a strike against the South Pole Celestial Court.
Ying Zheng, along with Luo Hou and Senior Brother Duobao, are hunting down Gouchen. The North Pole Celestial Court is not participating in this war, and Emperor True Martial has personally descended to the Lower Realm to suppress the eight Great Saints of the Demon Race..."
"You... have lost."
As he spoke, the Six Paths behind Lu Xuan spun, transforming into a great millstone that crushed a swath of Immortal Gods!!
Immortal corpses were densely piled up. Outside the collapsed Celestial Gate, at the Emperor Corpse’s signal,
the numerous pale-faced Immortal and Divine Officials played their grand music with even more vigor, celebrating!!
Lu Xuan held up Biyou Palace with both hands, smashing it left and right, killing countless Immortals as he crashed into Lingxiao Hall!
He demanded,
"Immortal Mother, this game, how will you break it?"
"How will you break it!"
The mighty sound boomed. The Mother Qi of All Things flowed across Lu Xuan’s skin, the Fishing Drum thrummed, the Gloomy Lamp shone brightly, and Lingxiao Hall... collapsed with a RUMBLE!!
He stomped his foot heavily. Under this one step, the Central Celestial Court, its fortune already at an absolute low, shook violently and suddenly tilted!
With this tilt, the countless Immortal corpses piled up in the Central Celestial Court all tumbled down, along with the collapsing immortal pavilions and terraces, falling into the Human World!
Immortals fell like rain.
The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool sat amidst the ruins of Lingxiao Hall, staring at the magnificent spectacle of Immortals falling like rain, somewhat lost in a daze.
After a moment, she suddenly broke into a smile.
"Yes, I’ve lost."
The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool slowly rose, a look of majesty in her eyes.
"Oh, Profound Yellow, Profound Yellow..."
"The time for Immortals to fall like rain has come."
As she spoke, she glanced sideways into the void.
"Isn’t that right?"
"Indeed."
Daoist Monarch Lu Ya slowly walked out, a smile on his face.
