Chapter 392: Your Names Are Recorded in the Book of Life and Death, All Gather at the Capital's Head【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 1)
Boom!!!
The terrifying sound of the explosion even drowned out the spring thunder that reverberated above the sky.
The clatter of Ji Moling's armor echoed, and the dark black armor emitted a dazzling brilliance. With his five fingers gripping the umbrella spear, an extremely pure force suddenly erupted!
The air seemed to emit a mournful wail as if it couldn't bear the burden.
It was as if the Milky Way had been cut in half, pouring down like a waterfall. The overwhelming qi and blood hung upside down, stirring up a raging wind, surging and raging like a hurricane, as if it wanted to shatter everything around it! With a single step, Ji Moling suddenly joined the battlefield, his speed reaching the extreme.
The umbrella spear in his hand tapped down, emitting a brilliant light.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair danced, and the Tai Bai Sword in his hand buzzed with a dazzling light. With a swift sweep, he unleashed a shower of sword light, slicing towards Ji Moling who was rising into the sky.
The clashing sword light unleashed the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword, extremely terrifying, colliding with Ji Moling's spear, annihilating each other, but also suppressing Ji Moling's domineering aura as he soared through the air.
Looking at the four Divine Capital Guardians, the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, and then at Ji Moling, gripping the umbrella spear with an overwhelming aura.
A tremendous pressure seemed to crush him.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair danced, his sleeves filled with sword energy, but he couldn't help but laugh coldly: "Good, good! A Peach Festival Competition!"
"Are you trying to lure the Divine Sect leaders to the Divine Capital to kill them? The Peach Festival Competition has been held for dozens of generations by the imperial court, and you're going to ruin its reputation!"
"Next time, let's see if any Divine Sect leader dares to enter the Divine Capital!"
Lu Tai Bai's body was filled with clashing sword energy, unrestrained and raging around him.
Li Che held Xi Xi, and with the support of the sword energy, they stood quietly behind Lu Tai Bai.
Lu Tai Bai turned his head and glanced at Li Che: "Ah Che, since Xi Xi doesn't want to be the Crown Prince Consort, then as her teacher and father, we must fulfill Xi Xi's wish."
Li Che's black hair was vigorous, like black lightning, and his third eye vibrated, his divinity starting to pulsate wildly.
"Of course."
After speaking.
The air around Li Che suddenly seemed to solidify, like an inflated balloon, expanding and enveloping Xi Xi within, keeping her safe.
A great battle seemed inevitable.
Li Che didn't understand why the emperor had issued such a decree. Whether it was due to the National Teacher's manipulation, or to force Lu Tai Bai to turn against him, fearing the appearance of a double divine tribulation in the Heavenly Origin Sect, thus keeping him in the Divine Capital.
Or perhaps the emperor had taken a liking to something about Xi Xi.
From the moment the emperor opened his mouth to take Xi Xi as his daughter, Li Che had sensed the emperor's strangeness, and a premonition had already arisen.
However, at that time, Li Che hadn't paid too much attention, after all, if the emperor truly liked Xi Xi because of her exceptional talent, it was somewhat understandable.
After Xi Xi's refusal, the emperor didn't say much, but unexpectedly, he had prepared another offer.
To make Xi Xi the Crown Prince Consort, to become the Junior Temple Guardian in charge of the Peach Festival Competition in the future, she would undoubtedly be able to become the Mother of the Nation, the most noble woman in the Grand Jing Dynasty!
This offer, if given to any other daughter of a Divine Sect, would be irresistible.
This represented not only a close connection with the Mysterious Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, one of the Mysterious Temples of the Three Purities, but also the future's upper limit!
For the Divine Sect, because the daughter of the sect became the Crown Prince Consort and might become the Empress in the future, it eased the contradictions between the sect and the Grand Jing Court.
Although the Grand Jing Court wasn't as prosperous as before, due to the riots in the Mysterious Temples across the land, the Grand Jing Court decided to hand over the management of the Mysterious Temples to the Divine Sects.
However, the pressure from the Grand Jing Court on the Divine Sects still existed.
Therefore, in the emperor's view, his reward gave the Heavenly Origin Sect two paths.
One was to accept, and the conflict between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Grand Jing Court would be resolved, giving the sect time to slowly develop and truly achieve the feat of a double divine tribulation.
The second path, naturally, was to turn against the emperor.
At first, the emperor also thought that Xi Xi or Li Che wouldn't refuse.
However, Li Che refused, decisively and firmly.
Li Che's eyes were cold and sharp, staring at the emperor on the high platform.
Combining the emperor's previous decision to adopt Xi Xi as his daughter, Li Che only felt the emperor's ill intentions.
Indeed, a father's intuition was correct.
Writing the emperor's name in the Book of Life and Death was also correct!
This old man... had ill intentions!
Although Xi Xi's talent was excellent, the reason she won the Dragon Competition was not only because she borrowed the power of the Organ Mechanism, but also... the power of the Prison Lotus's daughter.
Li Che's eyes sharpened, piercing through the myriad of sword energy, staring at the emperor standing on the high platform, his yellow robe fluttering in the wind.
What the emperor saw in Xi Xi...
Was the power hidden within her.
Among the four Divine Capital Guardians, a big man in red armor fell, landing on the platform in front of the emperor, his arms spread wide, blocking the clash between Lu Tai Bai and Ji Moling, without affecting the emperor and empress on the platform.
On the other side, the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power of the divine power overwhelm you.
His eyes grew solemn, and his aura surged with each passing moment.
The Divine Capital of the Grand Jing Dynasty was said to have been built by its founding emperor, and each of its nine cities was engraved with a Divine Talisman Array obtained from the depths of the Mysterious Tower. If all nine arrays were activated simultaneously, even a Half-step Divine Tribulation would be suppressed and trapped.
However, no one had ever witnessed the simultaneous activation of all nine city arrays.
Even the array of a single city exerted immense pressure on Lu Tai Bai, causing his expression to change slightly.
To break free and escape, he couldn't afford to be entangled any longer.
After all, this wasn't the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's home turf.
Lu Tai Bai turned his gaze towards Li Che, and Li Che, with Xi Xi by his side, immediately understood Lu Tai Bai's concern within the Heaven Mimicry.
"Sect Master, let's break through and escape," Li Che said.
"We'll discuss it back at the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect," Lu Tai Bai replied, nodding.
Facing the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and the towering Ji Moling, whose aura surged like a rising tide, Lu Tai Bai wasn't foolish.
Under these circumstances, to stubbornly engage in a blood-soaked battle would be utterly unreasonable.
Aside from the question of winning or losing, the Grand Jing Dynasty, though not at its peak, had been ruling over vast lands for a thousand years. It naturally possessed profound foundations, and the mere presence of the four Great Guardians of the Divine Capital, each at the pinnacle of their respective paths, was enough to make Lu Tai Bai feel the pressure.
Not to mention Ye Pengju, the top-ranked expert of the Temple Guardian Corps at the Heavenly Gate Pass, whose strength was unparalleled."
Therefore, it was unwise to linger in battle. Lu Tai Bai intended to break through, but...
Lu Tai Bai's eyes were suddenly enveloped by countless rays of white light, and the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword erupted uncontrollably!
To break through this formidable lineup...
Lu Tai Bai would have to pay a heavy price!
However, the Azure Dragon, one of the Great Guardians, seemed to sense Lu Tai Bai's intention. Its body trembled, and as the clatter of armor rang out, a terrifying surge of vital energy erupted from its back, transforming into a sinuous green divine dragon that seemed to peer out from behind the clouds, its whiskers curling.
As the sixth-ranked expert on the Heavenly Gate Pass, the Azure Dragon had reached the pinnacle of martial prowess, having obtained the inheritance from the Mysterious Tower.
The dragon's claws lashed out, and the air seemed to shatter under their might, inch by inch.
With the Black Tortoise providing defense and the expansion of the Divine Capital Array, the Azure Dragon only needed to block Lu Tai Bai's upcoming escape attempt to effectively trap Lu Tai Bai and Li Che.
As one of the Great Guardians, the Azure Dragon followed the Emperor's commands without question.
The Vermilion Bird and White Tiger also joined the fray, their Martial Saint wills shaking the heavens and earth. They resembled mythical beasts from ancient times, awakening with ferocious roars.
With three top-tier experts making their moves, it was as if they were freezing the very void itself.
Combined with Ji Moling's domineering and oppressive aura, the situation became extremely dire.
Breaking through wasn't an easy task, even for Lu Tai Bai, who had unleashed the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword, reaching the Half-step Divine Tribulation realm. He still felt a heavy burden.
This was all before the likes of Ye Pengju and Wang Kui, the powerful experts of the Temple Guardian Corps, had even made their moves.
Boom!
Li Che's heart stirred, and the Heaven Mimicry leaped into the air.
It then descended upon the banquet area of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Sect Master, expanding to encompass the Second Elder, Zhao Fang Zhou, and numerous talented disciples.
Of course, Li Che's primary concern was still his wife, Zhang Ya.
If they were to leave, they would do so together.
Within the Heaven Mimicry, Li Che held Zhang Ya's waist, gently patting her as he reassured her in a soothing tone, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Che's emotional state.
With the Thunderbolt Chess Piece in his possession, he effectively stood on unshakable ground.
Before, when the Sage Chess Saint Dao Fruit had not yet transformed and was still at the 5th level, there might have been some danger. After all, at that level, the Thunderbolt Chess Piece's teleportation had a slight delay.
However, upon reaching the 6th level, the Divine Capital Array's containment was virtually ineffective against him.
If the situation truly deteriorated to the extreme, Li Che would simply teleport his wife, Xi Xi, and the children of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect to Ink City.
All around, powerful experts from various sects watched on, but none of the sect leaders made a move.
After all, this was a confrontation between the court and the sects, as Lu Tai Bai had pointed out. This time, it was the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, but next time, it might be another sect facing the court's might.
Above the Jade Square, Lu Tai Bai gripped the Tai Bai Sword, and the concentrated blade aura shone brilliantly, as if countless killing intents were condensed into a single point, tearing the very sky apart in the moment of his strike!
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, the three Great Guardians, joined forces in a fierce clash. Their combined vital energy formed terrifying divine beasts that collided with the sword light unleashed by Lu Tai Bai.
A deafening roar echoed as the Black Tortoise exerted its full strength to support the Tortoise Shell, protecting the Jade Square. The Divine Capital Array was also activated, containing the terrifying aftermath of the battle and preventing it from affecting the area below.
In the midst of the Jade Square, a top-tier battle unfolded, and with each clash, a transparent ripple spread from the center of their collision, causing the entire Second City of the Divine Capital to tremble. The air, spring rain, vital energy, and divine will seemed to be transformed into nothingness!
Ji Moling, holding the Umbrella Spear, sprinted towards the banquet area of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Sect Master, where Li Che had unleashed the Heaven Mimicry.)
However, a boundless golden vital energy surged like a bursting heavenly river, and a huge halberd appeared, ringing with a deep hum.
The burly figure of the True Martial Sect's Sect Master, Shi Jian, stood before Li Che, brandishing a halberd that seemed to block the heavens.
The True Martial God Sect's Master, Shi Jian, was enveloped in a faint golden aura, his power swirling and twisting the air, as if an army of thousands was about to burst forth, or a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were about to erupt.
The long halberd trembled, clashing with the umbrella spear held by Ji Moling.
With a single strike, the resounding clash drowned out the spring thunder in the sky, as two top-tier martial experts collided with sheer force. The resulting void ripples spread and rippled endlessly.
After the initial collision, dozens more followed, sparks flying as their auras clashed like two towering waves crashing together!
The Master of the True Martial God Sect, Shi Jian, had taken action! Many were surprised but not overly shocked.
Shi Jian often visited the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and his friendship with Lu Tai Bai was well-known. Everyone was aware of this, so it wasn't unexpected when Shi Jian stepped forward at this moment.
However, by standing up under such pressure, he was essentially opposing the Grand Jing Dynasty. But the crowd also considered the unique position of the True Martial God Sect, and thus, they didn't think much of it.
If there was one sect the Grand Jing Dynasty was most tolerant towards, it was undoubtedly the True Martial God Sect. Unless the Master of the True Martial God Sect, Shi Jian, openly rebelled, the Grand Jing Dynasty would not take action against them.
Ji Moling hovered in mid-air, his dark red cloak fluttering, and his eyes flashing with divine light. He held the umbrella spear, staring at Shi Jian.
"I've long heard that Pacifier of Rebellions, Ji Moling, is unmatched in battle, suppressing the Six Great Corpse Gods of the Corpse God Sect in Yizhou. Shi, I've been curious about you for a long time, but I've never had the chance to test your skills. Today... I can give it a try."
Shi Jian was tall and robust, his hair like needles, and his pupils filled with a faint golden smoke.
"The True Martial God Sect... wants to interfere in this matter?"
"If Li Che is the Netherworld Monkey God, holding the Heartfelt Golden Iron Rod, then he's guilty of great treason.
