Chapter 165: Regaining Control of the Heavenly Dao, Execution by Shooting

Within the Divine Flower Society forum, a post caught everyone's attention.

"Breaking News: Water Cloud Palace to Take Action Against the Blood Cloak Alliance, Calling for Blood Cloak Sword God's Assistance!"

This post immediately drew the attention of many.

"What's going on? How dare Water Cloud Palace do this? Didn't Blood Cloak Sword God just annihilate Bright Palace?"

"Water Cloud Palace has a stronger background than Bright Palace, but their strength is not much different. How dare Water Cloud Palace?"

"Hmph, if Blood Cloak Sword God takes action, Water Cloud Palace will surely be destroyed!" Fox Cave Xiao Li quickly replied.

However, in the next moment, someone commented on her post.

"If Water Cloud Palace dares to make a move, they must have the confidence and be well-prepared.

I boldly speculate that Blood Cloak Sword God must have provoked Also Exhausted Venerable recently.

Also Exhausted Venerable intends to take action against Blood Cloak Sword God, which is why Water Cloud Palace has the audacity to do this!"

Upon hearing this, Fox Cave Xiao Li was startled and felt that it made sense, worrying for Blood Cloak Sword God.

After all, he was the only senior cultivator who chatted with her.

"It can't be true, right? Is Blood Cloak Sword God in trouble?"

At this moment, more and more people were replying to the post.

"Alas, it seems that Also Exhausted Venerable has taken action!"

"Blood Cloak Sword God was unwise. He should have just annihilated Bright Palace, but why kill Also Exhausted Venerable's people and provoke him? He's asking for trouble."

"I've always thought that Blood Cloak Sword God would face such a consequence. He's too arrogant and doesn't understand the humility required in life. He deserves this."

"What a pity, a great senior!"

"Hey, the result isn't out yet, how can you say that Blood Cloak Sword God will lose?" Fox Cave Xiao Li felt indignant and argued with those who were disparaging him.

"Since Also Exhausted Venerable has chosen to take action, he must have made thorough preparations and will use thunderous means to defeat Blood Cloak Sword God. Blood Cloak Sword God is just a sudden powerful cultivator, like a clown."

"If you speak of Blood Cloak Sword God like this, what if he sees it and seeks revenge?"

"Blood Cloak Sword God can't even protect himself, and I'm not afraid of revenge. If he has the ability, let him come!"

"Blood Cloak Sword God, that giant demon, is finally going to die. This is heavenly retribution. I'm happy, and I'll have an extra meal today!"

In the forum, several people appeared, criticizing Blood Cloak Sword God.

During Blood Cloak Sword God's peak, they were jealous and envious, but they didn't dare to speak up.

Now that Blood Cloak Sword God has "allegedly" encountered trouble, they are coming out to criticize him.

Moreover, they are not like Blood Cloak Sword God, openly provoking him, so they don't have to worry about retaliation.

After all, others don't know their identities.

Fox Cave Xiao Li saw this scene, and her eyes turned red: "You're finished! I'm going to record what you said and send it to Blood Cloak Sword God!"

She took out the Shadow Recording Stone and recorded all the disparaging comments about Blood Cloak Sword God in the forum, including the IDs.

At this moment, she was like a die-hard fan of Blood Cloak Sword God, patrolling the entire forum and recording any criticism she saw.

Unfortunately, she was alone; otherwise, with more people, she could have controlled the narrative like the celebrity fans on Blue Star.

The mountains stood tall and majestic.

Cloud Gathering Venerable, dressed in a white robe, exuded an air of immortal elegance.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his face filled with curiosity.

"How come my old friend has time to visit me?"

In front of Cloud Gathering Venerable, a white-haired old man appeared.

The old man's body was shrouded in a thick aura of dusk.

Cloud Gathering Venerable looked at the old man, his thoughts complicated.

This old friend had been acquainted with him for a long time, and his talent was even higher than his own.

However, a thousand years ago, in order to capture a strand of heavenly vein energy for his granddaughter and help her establish her foundation in the Heavenly Dao, he inadvertently attracted a strand of the great tribulation's aura.

As a result, his cultivation was stagnant, and his lifespan was constantly diminishing.

In just a thousand years, he had entered his twilight years, like a flickering candle in the wind.

In less than a thousand years, a Shadow Sovereign would likely perish due to this.

All Shadow Sovereigns feared the great tribulation.

Only a few old friends knew about the injury of this white-haired Shadow Sovereign; others were unaware.

Even his granddaughter, who had established her foundation in the Heavenly Dao, was also unaware.

"It's all because of my granddaughter. She insisted that I come here to ask about Blood Cloak Sword God.

Has Also Exhausted Venerable really taken action against Blood Cloak Sword God?" The white-haired old man asked.

Cloud Gathering Venerable sighed, "I cannot reveal this matter."

He had just sworn an oath in the Heaven-Earth Cave, and he couldn't go back on his word.

He looked at the white-haired old man and added, "Even if you went, you couldn't change the outcome."

"Is that so? Alas... Ever since I was injured by the great tribulation, I've been useless. I can't even fulfill a small request from my granddaughter." The old man sighed, probably realizing that Also Exhausted Venerable had indeed taken action against Blood Cloak Sword God and might have already started. "Cloud Gathering, please help my granddaughter.

I can't help Blood Cloak Sword God, but I need you to take care of his Blood Cloak Alliance."

Upon hearing this, Cloud Gathering Venerable smiled and said, "You truly love your granddaughter.

This is just a small matter. I'll have someone write a letter and send it to Water Cloud Palace to stop the conflict."

"Thank you, old friend," the white-haired old man sighed.

"Ice Soul, your injuries..." Cloud Gathering Venerable looked at the old man shrouded in the aura of dusk, his thoughts swirling.

"I've already sought help from a Great Venerable, but even he was powerless," Ice Soul Venerable said with a desolate expression. "Now that I'm nearing the end, I only hope that my granddaughter can enter the Shadow Sovereign realm before I depart."

"The Shadow Sovereign realm is incredibly difficult to attain," Cloud Gathering Venerable lamented. "Especially with the great tribulation approaching, breaking through is even more challenging."

Ice Soul Venerable remained silent.

In the Vastwave Realm, to become a Shadow Sovereign, one must venture to the Outer Heaven and transform their spiritual energy into divine essence energy.

In the Outer Heaven, there is an infinite thunder sea, and without someone safeguarding the path, Ice Soul Venerable's foundation is insufficient to break through and enter the Shadow Sovereign realm.

However, with the great tribulation approaching, all Shadow Sovereigns are struggling to protect themselves, and no one is willing to waste their divine essence energy by going to the Outer Heaven to safeguard the path.

The loss of energy is even greater than that of fighting against a cultivator of the same realm, and it will take at least a hundred years to recover.

"Ice Soul, you once saved my life. If you... depart, I will take care of your granddaughter," Cloud Gathering Venerable said.

A warm smile appeared on Ice Soul Venerable's face: "Thank you, old friend."

Snowflakes gently fell.

Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake.

The Great Sage True Monarch stood by, gazing at the sky filled with snowflakes, "I've heard it said that no two snowflakes in the world are exactly alike."

"Snowflakes are like people... There are no two people in the world who are exactly the same."

"Then why don't snowflakes speak like people?" Qi Yuan asked.

The Great Sage True Monarch looked at the snowflakes, "Perhaps because they don't have mouths."

"Really?"

"Probably," the Great Sage True Monarch replied uncertainly.

At that moment, the snowfall intensified.

A subtle change was occurring within Qi Yuan's aura, unnoticed by anyone, including the White Robed Lady's Shadow Spirit.

Only Qi Jianjun, standing beside Qi Yuan, wore a peculiar expression.

As she drew closer to Qi Yuan, she felt the Divine Essence Energy within her body strengthening, and the speed at which she opened her Divine Apertures had also increased.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yuan held a snowflake.

Gazing at it, he whispered, "Mouth."

To everyone's surprise, a tiny, barely noticeable mouth appeared on the snowflake's petal.

"Now that the snowflake has a mouth, it should be able to speak, right?"

"Little Snow, talk!"

From a distance, Jiang Ya witnessed this scene and had to stifle her laughter.

Had the Blood Robe Sword God just made a snowflake grow a mouth? Could the snowflake now speak? She naturally didn't know that Qi Yuan had not used a spell to make the snowflake grow a mouth.

Instead, he had used the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Just then, he had completely mastered the Heavenly Dao of Moonlit Continent.

Now, he was terrifyingly powerful.

He looked at the snowflake, his expression filled with curiosity.

Even though he had used the power of the Heavenly Dao to make it grow a mouth and commanded it to speak, the snowflake remained as quiet as ever.

The Great Sage True Monarch spoke up, "It might not have a brain and doesn't know how to speak."

"A brain?" Qi Yuan pondered.

A miniature pig's brain appeared within the snowflake, looking peculiar.

Jiang Ya was exasperated, "Creating life out of thin air is something even a Great Venerable can't do."

"Is that so?" Qi Yuan sounded disappointed.

He had thought that by becoming the Heavenly Dao of this world, it would be entirely his.

He was like a game creator, able to delete and create game characters, and even rewind.

But... he couldn't.

He could only make changes to Moonlit Continent within certain rules.

It was as if this Heavenly Dao also had a higher power above it.

Just then, the White Robed Lady hurriedly approached, "High Priestess, the Mara Clan's army is gathering, and in three months, they will be at our gates."

"The Mara Clan's Shadow Spirits will also take action then! Please, High Priestess, prepare and activate the Teleportation Array!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

The Mara Clan's army was finally coming.

Those Shadow Spirits were finally arriving.

They had limited time left, only three months.

"Three months?" Qi Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

The White Robed Lady glanced at Qi Yuan, knowing that the High Priestess valued the Blood Robe Sword God's words, "Yes, we only have three months left."

"Three months is too long. These people are too slow, no wonder they can't achieve great things," Qi Yuan sighed.

The Mara Clan was clearly not capable of great deeds.

Recalling the past, when they had offended a minor member of Bright Palace, they immediately formulated the 'Plan to Annihilate Bright Palace'.

But the Mara Clan's Shadow Spirits were so slow.

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, the White Robed Lady was at a loss.

She was worried about the short time, but the Blood Robe Sword God... directly called them slow.

Was he wishing for their demise? Qi Yuan paid no heed. Holding Qi Jianjun's small hand, he glanced back at the Great Sage True Monarch, "Since the enemy is coming slowly, I'll go find them.

Gather the concert troupe, today I'll take you to continue the hunt."

Qi Jianjun's small face lit up with joy, "Father is going to take action against the Mara Clan?"

"Yes, it's time to fertilize the garden with these nutrients," Qi Yuan said earnestly.

By slaying a certain number of Shadow Spirits, he might unlock an achievement in his game.

Now that he had become the Heavenly Dao of Moonlit Continent, it was time to deal with these enemies.

This time, he wouldn't be eating soft rice.

"Are you going to take action against the Mara Clan's Shadow Spirits?" The White Robed Lady asked, her face filled with anxiety, as if she had heard of some earth-shattering news.

"Yes."

"When you go, you'll face at least four Shadow Spirits. If you're not confident, it's best not to go, especially... the High Priestess must not go!" The White Robed Lady said.

If the High Priestess were to die there, the Moonlit Dynasty would be completely finished.

The Teleportation Array would be unable to activate.

She wouldn't be able to escape either.

"I trust Father, I want to go," Qi Jianjun's voice was unwavering.

Seeing this, the White Robed Lady knew she couldn't persuade her.

She felt resentful towards the Blood Robe Sword God.

What kind of father was he?

He didn't care about his daughter's safety.

"Since the High Priestess is going, I'll go too," The White Robed Lady clenched her teeth, choosing to take the risk.

"You're not a member of my concert troupe, nor are you my daughter. Why do you want to come?" Qi Yuan looked at the White Robed Lady with a puzzled expression, "Do you want to be a shrimp girl?"

The White Robed Lady was speechless.

Just a few days ago, she called her a big shot, and now she was calling her... a shrimp girl? She felt helpless.

"If you want to come, then join my concert troupe and play the trumpet.

Otherwise, it's not up for discussion." Qi Yuan spoke, he was too lazy to bring along unnecessary people.

The White Robed Lady's expression remained unchanged.

When had she ever experienced such humiliation? But when she thought about Qi Yuan having two Shadow Spirit wives and another Shadow Spirit daughter, she knew she could only endure.

She wondered, did all the heavenly maidens like this domineering and eccentric style?

"Okay!" The White Robed Lady reluctantly agreed.

Qi Yuan smiled, "Perfect!"

He had finally convinced a Shadow Spirit to play the trumpet for him.

His status and caliber had risen again.

"Is everyone here?" Qi Yuan scanned the concert troupe members behind him, and after about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he said, "Let's go."

He discovered that this time, Jiang Ya was also holding a musical instrument in her hand.

Holding Qi Jianjun's small hand, he said, "I told you to play the trumpet, not the horn!"

Jiang Ya froze for a moment, then took out a trumpet from her storage bag, "I grabbed the wrong one."

"Since everyone's here, let's move out."

Qi Yuan waved his large hand.

Suddenly, everyone was enveloped by the rules of heaven and earth.

They felt as if their lives were not in their own control.

The white-robed lady widened her eyes, her face revealing an expression of disbelief.

Just now, the Blood Robe Sword God had waved his hand, and she was completely powerless to resist, just like any ordinary cultivator.

Her heart trembled.

She was a Dark Deity, a divine being with Divine Essence Energy.

But with a casual wave from the Blood Robe Sword God, she felt as if she had become a child, devoid of any cultivation.

What...what kind of ability was this?

A terrifying guess formed in her mind, but she dared not confirm it.

...

In the valley.

The Moro clouds gathered.

Several terrifying figures assembled together.

Perhaps it was because there were too many Dark Deities.

The rules of heaven and earth in the entire valley seemed somewhat unstable.

A youthful voice sounded, "Demon Sprout Venerable, for this collaboration, that Skystriding Second Step is too powerful for me and Affectionate Venerable to handle. We can only help you capture the Blood Robe Sword God alive and stop the array's operation."

Affectionate Venerable stood beside Also Exhausted Sovereign, her eyes filled with a flirtatious expression as she looked at the purple-robed majestic figure in front of them.

That terrifying figure was Demon Sprout Venerable, at the peak of Skystriding Second Step, just one step away from Skystriding Third Step, an incredibly powerful cultivator.

Such a powerful being, even in the Canglan Realm, would be considered an unparalleled expert.

"Dare to kill my brother, and that Skystriding Second Step will undoubtedly face death. You don't need to lift a finger!" Demon Sprout Venerable's voice was heavy with confidence, "Today, even if the Moon Deity Sovereign descends, they won't be able to save them!"

The latter half of his sentence was, of course, an exaggeration.

Demon Sprout Venerable served the Dark Abyss camp.

With his strength, in the Dark Abyss camp, he could only be considered an unknown soldier. He had never even seen the Dark Abyss Sovereign.

"I've heard that the Blood Robe Sword God once provoked Also Exhausted Sovereign in the Canglan Realm?" asked a Mara Clan Dark Deity, his eyes filled with ridicule, "What did it feel like to be humiliated by a Purple Mansion cultivator?"

Also Exhausted Sovereign's expression remained unchanged, his youthful voice replied, "A cultivator relying on a woman is not worth mentioning."

"This sovereign hopes that a Great Venerable will take a fancy to me." Demon Sprout Venerable spoke with a smile on his face.

However, just at that moment, a sudden, desolate, and sorrowful musical instrument sound rang out.

The six Dark Deities present all showed signs of surprise.

"What...what is this?" Also Exhausted Sovereign's face slightly changed.

He had heard of the Blood Robe Sword God's affairs.

With a single trumpet blast, the Blood Robe Sword God would unleash his killing intent.

But how could there be a trumpet sound here?

An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

The other Dark Deities on the field all had shocked expressions.

Endless Divine Essence Energy continuously surged, as if it would tear apart the entire mountains and rivers, seeking the source of the sound.

"Who is it? Show yourself!" Demon Sprout Venerable shouted.

They couldn't find the source of the sound.

"Didn't your mothers teach you not to talk behind people's backs?"

The voice abruptly echoed through the valley.

"Oh, I forgot, you don't have mothers. Your mothers are long gone."

After saying this, Qi Yuan immediately regretted it and wanted to slap himself.

As Qi Yuan's voice sounded, a group of people abruptly appeared before the six Venerables.

Leading them was Qi Yuan, clad in a blood robe.

His gaze fell on Also Exhausted Sovereign and Affectionate Venerable, revealing a surprised expression, "Eh? There's also a human here?"

Also Exhausted Sovereign's eyebrows furrowed, "Blood Robe Sword God, so you're also a Dark Deity!"

Now, the Blood Robe Sword God had appeared out of thin air, even bringing a concert ensemble.

It was indeed suspicious.

Of course, he was undoubtedly a Dark Deity.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Demon Sprout Venerable was also puzzled.

Facing their six Dark Deities, the enemy didn't flee but instead took the initiative to attack.

Was this a suicide mission? There were only two reasons to explain this.

The first, the opponent had a problem with their head.

The second, the opponent had a hidden trump card.

Demon Sprout Venerable scanned the surroundings, always wary of the appearance of the Skystriding Second Step expert.

Looking at Qi Yuan, he felt extreme apprehension, but still said, "Since you're all here, it's the perfect time to take you all out!

Also Exhausted Sovereign, Affectionate Venerable, according to our agreement, leave the Blood Robe Sword God to the two of you."

Also Exhausted Sovereign and Affectionate Venerable's eyebrows jumped.

That was the previous agreement; the Blood Robe Sword God was a Purple Mansion cultivator, but now it seemed...the person before them was definitely not a Purple Mansion cultivator.

They wanted to refute.

Who knew Qi Yuan would directly speak up, "It's no wonder you're so hesitant to kill. You're like an overprotective mother.

Today, I'll teach you how to kill!

By the way, don't be moved, and don't fall in love with me."

At that moment, Qi Yuan extended his finger.

Pointing at the six Dark Deities before him, he said softly, "The Divine Messenger says, gathering to speak ill of others behind their backs is a crime."

As Qi Yuan's voice sounded, the rules of heaven and earth in this place began to change.

Countless earth rules directly assaulted the six Dark Deities.

The six Dark Deity Venerables' expressions changed drastically. They felt as if the Heavenly Dao of this realm had revived, suppressing them with the power of an entire realm. Their divine apertures were blocked, and their Divine Essence Energy couldn't be activated.

Demon Sprout Venerable's eyes revealed a horrified expression, "Divine Domain! You're a Great Venerable!"

Such a scene undoubtedly indicated a Great Venerable.

Only a Great Venerable could condense a Divine Domain, effortlessly suppressing ordinary Venerables.

Also Exhausted Sovereign, who was present, also had a terrified expression.

How was this possible? How could it be a Great Venerable!

How could the Blood Robe Sword God be a Great Venerable!

The white-robed lady playing the trumpet also widened her eyes, surprised by the scene before them, which exceeded their expectations.

Qi Yuan didn't pay any attention to these six people but instead spoke slowly, "The Divine Messenger says, speaking ill of others behind their backs is a heinous crime.

He has already sent someone to your address for execution, to be carried out immediately."

Qi Yuan snapped his fingers, but unfortunately, for some unknown reason, there was no sound.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he had no choice but to provide his own sound effects.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

It was as if six gunshots rang out in succession, and the six Dark Deities had absolutely no ability to resist. They were directly executed by Qi Yuan.

The incredibly powerful Dark Deities died...miserably...too easily, without even creating a splash.

The trumpet continued to play.

Qi Yuan turned to look at the people behind him and said earnestly, "Never speak ill of others behind their backs, or you'll face execution. I once received such a text message, and it scared me to death."

The people on the field were completely stunned.
