Chapter 522: Accumulation and the Heavenly Emperor's Arrival

Chapter 522: Accumulation and the Heavenly Emperor's Arrival

January 12, 2025

Rumble!

The Chaos Void reverberated with continuous thunderous roars.

At this moment, Qin Zheng's mind and spirit were fully focused on the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals raining down from all directions. With his current cultivation strength, even the unconscious Heavenly Legends couldn't escape his wrath.

However, if he could slay all the falling Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, accumulating the final one thousand drops of the Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao, he would instantly ascend to the Legend Realm!

With his profound cultivation and the possession of numerous Beyond Divine Armaments, even challenging the Creation Realm wouldn't be impossible, let alone these unconscious Heavenly Legends.

His figure moved like lightning, and wherever he passed, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in that area were annihilated, their corrupted qi extracted.

As a result, the Pollution Orb and Merit Crystal accumulated at an astonishing rate.

Meanwhile, after giving his instructions, True Martial Emperor, along with the other Legends who had exhausted their lives and unleashed their full power, prepared to charge into the Nine Heavens and overturn the Heavenly Court's million-year accumulation.

"Amitabha!"

Maitreya Buddha chanted the Buddhist mantra loudly and then shook his head, stepping forward to stop True Martial Emperor and the others. He said solemnly, "There is still an unevolved Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Court!"

"Without the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, even if we break into the Heavenly Court with our own strength, how can we possibly match the Heavenly Emperor in a single strike?"

True Martial Emperor abruptly turned around and looked at Maitreya Buddha. "The Legends that appeared earlier don't belong to the Thirty-Three Heavens. The Heavenly Emperor must be causing trouble in the Chaos Sea right now!"

"If he were still in the Nine Heavens, would he have waited until now to make his move?"

When they saw the four unfamiliar Heavenly Legends, everyone realized that the Heavenly Emperor hadn't been in the Nine Heavens all along. He had left the Thirty-Three Heavens and brought pollution to the Chaos Sea!

But this was just a guess.

If the Heavenly Emperor were sitting high in the Nine Heavens, leisurely observing the current battlefield, rushing into the Heavenly Court would be akin to seeking death.

Yet, they had no choice but to act.

Among the numerous Legends present, only True Martial Emperor and a few others had just been promoted. The rest had exhausted their lives and reached the pinnacle of their power, temporarily regaining their peak combat strength.

Rather than waiting for death, they decided to charge into the Nine Heavens and overthrow the Heavenly Court, thus avenging the million years of pollution torment.

The battlefield presented ever-changing opportunities, and these thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant. Seeing the determination in everyone's eyes, Maitreya Buddha could only take a step back and no longer stop them.

Led by True Martial Emperor, eight Legendary powerhouses tore through the void and charged towards the Heavenly Court in the Nine Heavens.

At this moment, Tai Yi Zhenren's aura was unstable as he watched True Martial Emperor and the others depart. His eyes flickered with complex emotions before he abruptly turned to look down at Qin Zheng.

Having exhausted their lives and reached the pinnacle of their power, the seven Legends who had just escaped pollution chose to charge into the Nine Heavens, knowing full well they might not survive.

But was there truly no chance of survival?

The Eight Scenic Palaces contained countless divine pills refined by Sages, and there was also a Sage undergoing Nirvana and reaching Creation Perfection. With the Azure Heaven Mirror as a teleportation tool, there might still be a glimmer of hope for these Legendary powerhouses if they were sent to the Eight Scenic Palaces.

From the time when numerous Beyond Shore powerhouses joined forces to transcend and invade the Polluted Land, to the current Human-Demon-Deity War instigated by the collaboration between the Heavenly Emperor and the pollution, the number of remaining Dao Realm powerhouses had dwindled significantly.

If even one of them could be saved, they would do their utmost to preserve that life.

With this thought in mind, Tai Yi Zhenren's figure plummeted downward, rushing towards Qin Zheng, who was continuously slaughtering the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Maitreya Buddha and the other remaining Legendary powerhouses also descended into the depths of the void, seeking to subdue the Heavenly Legends who had been knocked unconscious by the Heaven Splitting Seal.

Just then—

Boom!

An intense explosion shook the void.

Buzz!

The aura of the sword formation became increasingly fierce.

They couldn't win!

Even with the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, they were no match for the Gou Chen Emperor's avatar, who wielded the Slaughter Immortal Sword and the Sever Immortal Sword.

Boom!!

A towering sword light pierced through the void, and Dao Xing Tian Zun intended to stop it, but he saw that Gou Chen Emperor's avatar, after slashing out with one sword, used the other hand to grasp the Severing Immortal Sword and slashed towards him again!

Whoosh!!

The swift sword light surged like a torrent!

Dao Xing Tian Zun had no choice but to activate the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, passively welcoming this overwhelming torrent of sword light!

Too strong! Too strong!

The one holding the Slaughter Immortal Sword and the Severing Immortal Sword before them, even if it was just an avatar of the Gou Chen Emperor, possessed battle prowess that exceeded ordinary Creation-level strength!

Moreover, with two Immortal Swords constantly affecting the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, the balance of power shifted, making it difficult for Dao Xing Tian Zun, who had advanced to the Legend Realm and commanded the sword formation, to resist.

Dao Xing Tian Zun's expression turned gloomy and heavy.

And behind that sword light...

Whoosh!!

A rift tore through the void.

The Legend Realm powerhouses, including True Martial Emperor, tumbled down from this rift, returning to the current battlefield.

The avatar of the Gou Chen Emperor suppressed Dao Xing Tian Zun while coldly laughing, "In my presence, you dare to dream of storming the Heavenly Court. Truly, a fool's fantasy."

With that, he slashed down again.

Boom!

The sword light spread out, covering the entire sky!

The Gou Chen Emperor intended to hold back all the Legend Realm powerhouses on the battlefield with just one avatar!

True Martial Emperor and the others hurried to respond, but their expressions didn't show distress; instead, they seemed more relaxed and joyful.

Their guess was right!

The Heavenly Emperor wasn't in the Thirty-Three Heavens at this moment!

A Legend Realm powerhouse shouted, "Hmph! Whether the Heavenly Emperor is here or not, we'll find out after we fight!"

Boom!

The deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.

These changes occurred too suddenly; even before Tai Yi Zhen Ren reached Qin Zheng, he turned back to witness the renewed, earth-shattering battle above.

All these changes happened in the blink of an eye, and he understood that the Heavenly Emperor wasn't in the Heavenly Court, nor in the Thirty-Three Heavens, which was why the Gou Chen Emperor was fighting them all alone.

Indeed, this was the perfect opportunity to kill all the powerful beings in the Heavenly Court and topple it!

As this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately thought of those Legend Realm powerhouses who had clearly come from other great realms within the Chaos Sea.

With the Heavenly Emperor's means, even if he killed the Gou Chen Emperor and the other Heavenly Court powerhouses, he would still bring back other Dao Realm powerhouses from the boundless Chaos.

Therefore, conserving their strength was the top priority!

As this thought emerged, and he took another step forward, his entire person appeared before Qin Zheng.

At this moment, Qin Zheng, with the help of the Purple Lightning Hammer, Azure Heaven Mirror, and Three Treasures Jade Will, had already slain most of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, collecting an enormous number of Merit Crystals and polluted Qi.

"Junior Brother!"

Tai Yi Zhen Ren called out.

Qin Zheng halted, his gaze shifting to Tai Yi Zhen Ren who had suddenly appeared before him, allowing the three divine artifacts to roam freely through the Chaos Void, reaping the lives of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

"Senior, do you wish to enter the Eight Scenic Palaces?"

Qin Zheng responded swiftly.

The battle had reached a Creation-level intensity, and he couldn't interfere, as the Slaying Deity Sword Formation had already been lent out. Therefore, Tai Yi Zhen Ren's initiative to come here could only be related to the Azure Heaven Mirror and the Eight Scenic Palaces.

Tai Yi Zhen Ren nodded hurriedly and said, "The Gou Chen Emperor is too strong. Even with just one avatar, he can suppress the Slaying Deity Sword Formation. I fear that Master Guang Cheng won't be able to hold out for long."

"I want to take this opportunity to open the passage to the Eight Scenic Palaces. Perhaps the friends who have risked their lives can receive treatment from a Sage and preserve their lives. Moreover..."

Before he could finish his sentence...

Boom!

The entire Chaos Void trembled at a visible speed, and a Daoist suddenly fell out, with a scarlet light like a sword piercing through his chest, causing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to manifest, accompanied by waves of wailing.

"Using One Mind Two Uses, suppressing the polluted Qi within your body while fighting me, how can you hope to defeat me?!"

The Gou Chen Emperor stepped out of the void, his expression indifferent as he looked down at Guang Chengzi. His left hand rested behind his back, leaving only his right hand gripping a spear, his entire body exuding a formidable aura like a divine demon!

"Cough!"

Guang Chengzi spat out a mouthful of black blood, from which twisted, filthy intentions emanated. Then, he sneered and laughed, "Not enough! Not enough!"

Please...collect the book...(Six Nine Book Bar!)



"To kill me, you are not enough!"

As he finished speaking, he took a big step forward, and the Nine-Heavens Fiery Flame Dragon roared out from beneath his feet, engulfing the surroundings and turning the world into a Sea of Fire Hell!

The Gou Chen Emperor was also surrounded by the sea of flames!

Boom!

An even more intense and violent roar echoed from within the sea of flames, accompanied by streaks of scarlet spear shadows that appeared, piercing through the sea of flames and creating holes.

No matter if it was the true body of Gou Chen Emperor or his avatar, both battlefields were dominated by them, and if the situation continued to develop, the outcome would be their annihilation!

Tai Yi True Man turned his head again, his gaze filled with urgency and hope as he looked at Qin Zheng.

As long as they could enter the Eight Scenic Palaces, even if the Heavenly Emperor personally arrived, they wouldn't pose a threat to everyone.

Qin Zheng's expression turned solemn, without responding, he extended his hand and channeled the Primordial Light, which converged and formed the shape of the Azure Heaven Mirror.

"I have already established a passage to the Eight Scenic Palaces before, if the timing is right, I can immediately lead everyone there. However, facing Creation, there's an extremely high chance of being caught."

"Moreover, the consequences are extremely severe, and there's a high probability of being caught all at once!"

Qin Zheng spoke with gravity.

If they were caught in the void passage, not only would they have to endure the backlash of the void, but in that instant, they wouldn't even have a chance to resist, and could only be slaughtered.

With the strength displayed by Gou Chen Emperor, in that brief moment, he could directly annihilate everyone!

Tai Yi True Man's brows furrowed as he listened, and his eyes reflected various emotions. He didn't doubt the consequences Qin Zheng spoke of; if they were killed like that, it would be better to die in battle.

They could even escape in their last moments with a wisp of true spirit, awaiting their future revival.

In that instant, Tai Yi True Man changed his mind, turned to Qin Zheng, and quickly said, "We will fight to the death with Gou Chen Emperor, you focus on the timing, and head to the Eight Scenic Palaces!"

"Although the Azure Heaven Mirror can traverse the Chaos Sea, the Heavenly Emperor has been operating outside for an unknown duration, and he might capture you. Only entering the Eight Scenic Palaces is the safest option!"

"With the remnant Sage Aura, the Creation Perfection, and the Half-Step Beyond Xuan Dou Senior Apprentice, even the Heavenly Emperor won't be able to do anything to you after entering the Eight Scenic Palaces."

"Calm your mind and cultivate. With your talent, you will surely achieve greatness in the future. With you and Xuan Dou Senior Apprentice, one day we will awaken from the Six Realms of Reincarnation."

Tai Yi True Man spoke swiftly, but Qin Zheng understood his intent. This battle had an extremely high chance of defeat, and continuing to deplete their strength here was pointless!

Qin Zheng's gaze shifted from the Daoist in front of him to the battlefield above, and finally, he nodded heavily, "Good! Leave a wisp of true spirit for your rebirth, Qin Zheng will ensure your revival in the future!"

He was currently just a Primordial Boundless Perfection, not even a Legend, let alone interfering in the Creation battlefield. Without any chance of victory, staying put was seeking death.

Tai Yi True Man nodded.

At this moment, Maitreya Buddha and the other Legends found the Heavenly Court Dao Realm that had fallen into the abyss of the void and suppressed them, bringing them before the two.

Everyone exchanged glances, understanding the situation. Maitreya Buddha handed a gold goblet to Qin Zheng, and inside it were the Legends who had been knocked out by the Heaven Splitting Seal.

"We don't have the strength to kill these rebels. Take this gold goblet and enter the Eight Scenic Palaces. The Sage Aura will sense their polluted aura and eliminate them."

Maitreya Buddha spoke.

Qin Zheng nodded and took the gold goblet.

The Legends nodded at Qin Zheng, then turned and rushed towards the high battlefield, unleashing their full power.

"Today, even if we all perish, we will slay this Creation!"

A Legend roared.

Gou Chen Emperor's expression changed slightly.

After making their final decision and abandoning all thoughts of survival, the power unleashed by these powerful beings far surpassed what it was moments ago, putting even Gou Chen Emperor under pressure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Chaos Void cracked everywhere!

As if sensing Tai Yi True Man's decision, Guang Chengzi seemed to release his suppression of the polluted aura, his body surrounded by black aura and pure light, with fiery flame dragons coiling around him as he walked, his aura becoming overwhelmingly terrifying!

Even Gou Chen Emperor, who had initially held the upper hand and was at ease, now had a solemn expression and constantly retreated.

Facing a Creation and over ten Legends fighting with such disregard for their lives, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

A trace of impatience appeared in his eyes.

Just then, a calm and serene voice, devoid of any emotion, suddenly echoed in the Chaos Void, reverberating in everyone's hearts.

"Gou Chen, too slow."

Gou Chen Emperor's face paled instantly.

The voice continued, "Neglecting them for a million years has indeed allowed them to develop some strength!"
