Chapter 494: Thundergod and Thundermother, Four Great Heavenly Kings, Nezha and Li Jing!

December 10th, 2024

Qin Zheng's mind was filled with doubts.

As a Primordial Novice, the Celestial Dog should have been capable of transforming the Yuan Origin Abyss with a mere thought, eradicating everything within it.

Yet, for over two million years, it had remained dormant outside the Yuan Origin Abyss.

Aside from killing a group of Great Transcendent beings attempting to escape and unleashing a deadly calamity upon the Yuan Origin Abyss, it had done nothing else.

It wasn't until ten years ago, after the battle in the Nine Heavens, that it allowed some polluted Great Transcendent beings to enter, and even then, it continued to slumber outside the Yuan Origin Abyss.

Qin Zheng couldn't help but wonder about the purpose of all this.

Although the Celestial Dog had its demonic power sealed, it showed no fear, and upon hearing this, it scoffed and taunted, "Kowtow three times to me, and I'll tell you."

Qin Zheng fell silent for a moment, then struck out with a palm, shattering the remaining half of the dog's head.

At the broken neck, instead of flesh and bone, a thick black aura mixed with demonic power surged, attempting to regenerate the shattered head.

A mocking voice echoed from the mangled body, "I am a disciple of the Heavenly Court. You can't kill me. Even if this body and path are destroyed, I will be reborn elsewhere."

"Instead of continuing to fight me, you should consider how you'll face the pursuit of the Heavenly Court!"

"Why not kneel and become my pet, and I might show you a path to survival."

The Celestial Dog's taunts continued, but suddenly, a spatial fluctuation rippled through the starry sky.

Qi Yanzong and the other Great Transcendent beings didn't notice, and their clones only slightly narrowed their eyes, sensing something amiss.

However, the Celestial Dog's perception revealed that the starry sky before it had transformed, no longer resembling the Yuan Pass Origin Void!

"What kind of ability is this?"

Its voice turned solemn.

The figure in the golden-patterned black robe raised its hand and snapped its fingers lightly.

Snap!

A crisp sound reverberated throughout the starry sky.

"Grandmaster!"

A shrill and piercing cry followed, and the Black Dog Demon, along with the other Great Transcendent beings, rushed to the Celestial Dog's side.

But the next moment—

Boom!

One of the Great Transcendent beings suddenly exploded, releasing strands of pure polluted Qi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions continued, like firecrackers echoing through the heavens, and the dense, pure polluted Qi surrounded the Celestial Dog.

The Celestial Dog was perplexed.

Qin Zheng calmly spoke, "The reason you fear no death is because of this polluted Qi."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Dog's heart trembled, and a sense of foreboding washed over it.

Qin Zheng waved his hand, and a mysterious light appeared, swiftly dissipating the polluted Qi in the heavens and earth.

It wasn't merely dispersed but seemed to be purified, leaving no trace of pollution behind.

Since joining the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Dog had never encountered such a situation, and its heart was filled with astonishment.

"Impossible!"

"How is this possible?"

"How can this be?"

Shouts of disbelief and horror echoed from within the Celestial Dog.

Even Qi Yanzong and the other Great Transcendent beings from the Yuan Origin Abyss felt a surge of intense emotions.

The black Qi was the most feared thing they had encountered in the past decade of battles. Once tainted by it, there was no escape, no dispersal, and the only outcome was Dao Ascension.

Yet, in front of this person, the black Qi seemed harmless, disappearing with a mere wave of their hand.

Indeed, a Primordial Rank Great Figure!

The Great Transcendent beings marveled, believing that only such a figure could possess such abilities.

However, in the Celestial Dog's heart, this was akin to witnessing the creation of the universe, a truly shocking revelation.

Its previous arrogance and defiance vanished in an instant.

Its earlier claim of resurrection was based on the black Qi within its body. If this Qi were purified, there would be no chance of revival.

At that moment, Qin Zheng spoke again, his voice calm but laced with killing intent, "Now, tell me why you've been guarding the Yuan Origin Abyss."

The calm tone concealed a strong intent to kill, and the Celestial Dog understood that continuing its previous attitude would lead to its demise.

After a moment of silence, it reluctantly replied, "I don't know why I'm guarding here. My master ordered me to come, so I came."

Qin Zheng's gaze slightly intensified.

Master?

The Celestial Dog's master, aside from Erlang Zhenjun, could be none other than him!

Even he has been polluted?

A hint of heaviness filled Qin Zheng's heart.

Sensing Qin Zheng's intensifying killing intent, the Celestial Dog quickly explained, "I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying to you."

"After the great war ended, I woke up in the Heavenly Court. My master ordered me to guard the entrance of Yuan Pass Origin Void without telling me the reason."

Qin Zheng organized his thoughts and asked again, "Is your master Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun?"

The Celestial Dog was taken aback but quickly regained his composure, proudly responding, "Who else could be the master of this divine being if not him?"

"Young Master, I advise you to release me as soon as possible. Otherwise, when my master finds out, he will surely..."

Bang!

Another explosive sound rang out, and the Celestial Dog's half-formed head, which it had barely managed to condense, was smashed by Qin Zheng's palm.

"Aside from guarding this place, what else did your master ask you to do?"

The calm and indifferent voice sounded again, and the Celestial Dog dared not defy it. It quickly responded, "My master ordered me to guard the Origin Abyss, preventing anyone from leaving and entering."

"Anyone trying to leave or enter is to be killed without hesitation!"

Qin Zheng's gaze flickered slightly, and he asked again, "Not even you can enter?"

The Celestial Dog shook its body, as if wanting to nod, but realizing it had no head to nod with, it continued, "Not even I can enter."

Qin Zheng turned to his clone beside him and asked, "Have you discerned anything?"

The clone's expression was calm, its gaze fixed on the Celestial Dog. It spoke softly, "The Three Treasure Jade Ruyi, the Slaying Deity Sword, and the Heaven Earth Jade Tower are all gathered here. The Origin Abyss is truly extraordinary."

"By having a dog guard the entrance, he's treating this realm as his private treasure trove."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, sharing the same thought. However, he understood why the other party hadn't directly intervened and taken the treasures from the Origin Abyss.

After all, before Qin Zheng's arrival in this world, the great war had already ended two million years ago.

The dog before him had been guarding the Origin Abyss for two hundred years.

At this moment, the clone withdrew its gaze and turned to Qin Zheng, saying, "Now that you have this dog under control, its master will likely arrive soon. Are you confident you can handle it?"

Qin Zheng didn't answer directly but looked at the Celestial Dog and asked, "What's your master's current cultivation realm?"

According to his memories before his arrival, Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun's strength was not to be underestimated. However, the situation in this realm was different, and he needed to inquire carefully.

The Celestial Dog didn't hide the truth, proudly stating, "When I left, my master was already at the Half-step Legendary Realm. Now, two hundred years have passed, and he might have already stepped into the Legendary Realm!"

So, he hasn't entered the Legendary Realm yet.

Qin Zheng nodded and turned to his clone, "I can handle it."

Having reached the Upper Primordial Realm and possessing the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones and the Azure Heaven Mirror's support, he was confident he could handle any opponent below the Dao Realm.

The clone's expression remained calm, and it summoned the Ink Kirin with a wave of its hand. Then, it turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Tell me the steps to achieve Dao Ascension Mixed Origin, and then send me to a place where I can achieve it."

"I can't help you in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and I might even be threatened by the Heavenly Court. It's better to send me away. If I succeed, I'll come back to assist you, and if I fail, it won't harm you."

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

Now that he had reached the Upper Primordial Realm, his enemies and opponents were also at the Primordial Rank or even higher, up to the Dao Realm Powerhouses.

The clone's continued presence in the Thirty-Three Heavens would indeed be of no help and might even be a liability due to the causal connection between the clone and the main body, which could be exploited by those with ill intentions.

Qin Zheng's thoughts stirred, and the ancient mirror emitting a profound Dao rhyme appeared between the two of them, with numerous worlds manifesting on its surface.

When a particular world appeared, the clone, as if blessed by fortune, directly stepped into the mirror's surface, bringing the Ink Jade Kirin beside him.

The Azure Heaven Mirror's light blossomed, teleporting the clone to a certain place in the Chaotic Sea, before gradually calming down afterward.

On the other side, the Celestial Dog, upon seeing this ancient mirror, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of fear and dread.

It was as if this ancient mirror could suppress and even annihilate it!

"It's this mirror!"

"You can purify the black qi because of this mirror!"

A realization struck the Celestial Dog, and it couldn't help but howl loudly.

In the face of the polluted qi, the Azure Heaven Mirror could indeed purify it, but it couldn't transform it into the essence energy of the Great Dao like the Virtue Scroll.

However, this could also serve to conceal the existence of the Virtue Scroll.

Qin Zheng waved his hand, storing the Azure Heaven Mirror into his inner world.

Immediately after, a long sword radiating overwhelming killing intent fell into his right hand, a tower emitting strands of Mystic Yellow Qi hovered above his head, and a jade scepter emitting radiant light landed in his left hand.

In just this instant, Qin Zheng revealed his entire foundation, and the thick and powerful aura almost tore apart the shattered universe.

As the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones appeared one by one, the Celestial Dog instantly froze in place, nearly stunned into speechlessness, exclaiming, "The Slaying Deity Sword, the Heaven Earth Jade Tower, and the Three Treasure Jade Scepter!"

"It's true! It's true!"

"This universe is truly the Land of Creation, capable of nurturing and restoring incomplete divine artifacts!"

Hearing the Celestial Dog's words, Qin Zheng immediately understood why Erlang Zhenjun hadn't taken the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones.

It was because these treasures were incomplete, waiting to be nurtured and restored, and the so-called creation was none other than himself. After all, it was he who had restored these three treasures.

The Celestial Dog hadn't finished speaking.

Qin Zheng shook his head slightly, but he didn't engage further.

After sending his clone to the Thirty-Three Heavens, he immediately summoned the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones, bringing his state to its peak.

Sure enough, outside the Origin Abyss, the Heavenly Court's reinforcements had already arrived!

With a thought, the Celestial Dog was pulled before him by an invisible force.

Qin Zheng turned to look at Qi Yanzong and the others, speaking calmly, "Rest assured, everyone. Stay here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step, instantly transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky, and the Celestial Dog, dragged by the invisible force, closely followed.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if they had burst out from the depths of the water, and a vast and boundless universe appeared before Qin Zheng.

The chaos aura permeated the area, and in all directions, countless figures stood densely packed, all wearing the same armor and holding identical spears.

Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!

However, not all of these soldiers and generals were Primordial Rank; only the dozens at the forefront exuded such an aura, while the rest were of the Grand Dharmaraja Rank.

Behind these soldiers and generals stood four massive figures, their presence faintly discernible. In front of these four figures, the soldiers and generals seemed as small as ants.

Even Qin Zheng struggled to take in all four figures at once.

The Four Great Heavenly Kings!

Crack!

Boom!

Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed, revealing two figures hidden within the chaos fog.

Thundergod and Thundermother!

Qin Zheng's gaze swept across, finally focusing on the two figures standing before the countless soldiers and generals.

One wore golden armor and held a tower, exuding an endless and boundless aura.

The other stood on a fire wheel, wielding a piercing spear, their aura fierce and brutal.

Tower-Holding Heavenly King Li Jing!

Three Altar Sea Assembly Great Deity Nezha!

Among those who arrived, there were not only countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals but also eight Primordial Rank Great Figures!

E

If he hadn't gathered the Azure Heaven Mirror and returned rashly, he might have truly been in trouble this time.

Q

Subsequently, he gathered his thoughts, calmed his mind, and slowly stepped forward, fully revealing himself to the numerous Heavenly Court deities.

"The Slaying Deity Sword, the Heaven Earth Jade Tower, and the Three Treasure Jade Scepter!"

"It's truly interesting that these three divine artifacts appeared on the same person."

A majestic heavenly sound reverberated through the chaos, as if coming from beyond the sky.

This was the voice of the Four Great Heavenly Kings.

Crack!

Boom!

The thunder above grew more intense.

Nezha's expression remained indifferent, as if a True Deity looking down at Qin Zheng, akin to observing an ant about to be crushed.

Li Jing looked at Qin Zheng and spoke calmly, "Hand over the Three Pure Treasures, and we will allow you to transcend and sever ties with this world. We will not pursue the lives of the Origin Abyss."

Qin Zheng's gaze slightly condensed, but he didn't respond. Instead, he slowly spoke, "Does Erlang Zhenjun not want his dog anymore?"

Upon hearing these words, the Celestial Dog's heart exploded with a sense of impending death, an intense and overwhelming crisis that burst within him.

"Master! Master!"

"Save me!!!"

The Celestial Dog frantically cried out.

The next moment—

Buzz!

A fiery piercing spear tore through the void and appeared before Qin Zheng.

"Do you need Erlang to take action to kill you?"
