No one needed to explain; everything became clear instantly.

"Kaihuang!"

Apart from the treacherous lord Kaihuang of Wuyou Township, no one else possesses such extraordinary swordsmanship!

"Which Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court fought against Kaihuang?"

We gaze into the distance.

"Kaihuang, your swordsmanship is indeed impressive, but you are not qualified to defeat me!"

At the same time, a majestic voice rang out, and then, many people saw with horror that as many as thirty-five heavenly palaces jumped out one after another, and dozens of treasure halls emerged one after another, supporting the heavenly palaces, their power gathering, terrifying and boundless.

It resembled a celestial court that suppressed all realms! Countless beings bowed their heads in submission!

The most terrifying thing is that behind Haotianzun's head, not only did a Heavenly Court appear!

The Dao of Returning to the Void surged forth, and a Heavenly Palace appeared, forming a second, nearly complete Heavenly Court with the Law of Returning to the Void at its head!

Two heavenly courts, one positive and one negative; one is bright and eternal, illuminating the Milky Way; the other is dark and eternal, covering the universe!

"Haotianzun!!!"

Everyone immediately realized the truth, and they all bowed down in worship, praising the sacred majesty of the Heavenly Venerable.

With this strange phenomenon, the Heavenly Court, which possesses normal magical power, also has a second special Heavenly Court that is at the forefront of the Great Dao of Returning to the Void. The two Heavenly Courts appeared together, and amidst the roar, the laws surged. The two Heavenly Palaces, one majestic and the other dark and terrifying, reflected each other, illuminating all realms and crushing the ages. It seemed as if heaven and earth were about to collapse!

Such an existence, after counting and counting, can only be Haotian Zun!

It should be noted that, due to their origins, the two ancient gods of the Void—Empress and Lady Yuanmu—only had one Heavenly Court governed by the Way of the Void.

Although these two descendants of the ancient gods of Guixu are not the same, only Haotianzun has a name that is known throughout the heavens, is revered by all spirits, and is regarded as the supreme celestial being on the path of cultivation.

Among the eleven Celestial Venerables, Haotian Venerable is a super strong person who ranks among the top three!

Of course, this ranking only includes the major figures in the Heavenly Court camp; the group of Heavenly Venerables who rebelled against the Heavenly Court were not included.

Otherwise, both Cao Ya and Kaihuang have the ability to rank among the top three.

In particular, Cao Ya's confrontation with the Four Heavenly Venerables in Xuandu shocked countless people.

Even the ancient gods and emperors at their peak probably didn't have this ability.

You should know that the current Celestial Venerable is much more powerful than the ancient gods, the four emperors, or the four great emperors. Even the three great god kings of the Primordial Era seem slightly weaker.

Among the eleven Heavenly Venerables, Gong Tianzun was roughly at the bottom, belonging to the third lowest tier.

It is evident that the Creator God-King is indeed slightly weaker than the Celestial Venerable among Taoist cultivators.

“Kaihuang, you are also ‘Qin Tianzun’, but among the nine Tianzun of Longhan who opened up the path of acquired cultivation, your contribution is the smallest. You are basically just there to make up the numbers.”

"Whether it's the Heavenly Venerable, myself, the Heavenly Venerable, or the Heavenly Venerable Ling, the Heavenly Venerable Yue, the Heavenly Venerable You, the Heavenly Venerable Yun, or the Heavenly Venerable Huo, we have all generously shared our insights after observing the operation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. This has made a great contribution to the opening and improvement of the path of cultivation and has benefited all the worlds."

"Only you..."

Haotianzun sneered.

"Even if your combat power is too strong, you are only fit to be an ordinary Celestial Venerable!"

"The Nine Venerables of Dragon Han, having you is a disgrace!"

Haotian Zun scornfully spun the two Heavenly Courts, layering them one on top of the other. Different Daoist techniques were activated, their power profound and carrying the meaning of returning to the void. They swallowed up the universe and pressed down fiercely towards Kaihuang.

The thirty-five layers of supreme sword domain of the Kaihuang era also erupted, with endless sword energy filling the ten directions of the Milky Way. All kinds of sword techniques were flashing, some offensive, some defensive, and some entangled...

Thousands of sword moves seemed to pierce through the two heavenly palaces and point directly at the Heavenly Venerable Haotian!

At the same time, Kaihuang also spoke up, responding to Haotianzun's disdain, saying, "Because of Lingtianzun's extraordinary supernatural powers, Mutianzun and I went to the Dragon-Han era and were fortunate enough to participate in that far-reaching grand event. We also met Yutianzun, Lingtianzun, Yuntianzun, and others, including you, Haotianzun."

"You seven Heavenly Venerables created the seven divine treasures beneath the Heavenly Palace and Divine Realm; your merit is greater than the heavens."

"The Celestial Master Mu proposed the concept of the Heavenly Palace Divine Realm and has a corresponding method, which is truly fitting."

“Indeed, you eight Heavenly Venerables deserve to be revered by all realms.”

Even though Kaihuang was an enemy of Haotianzun and Huotianzun, he would not deny this point.

Before the Dragon-Han Era, the universe was in a state of ignorance. It was either a matter of pure divine contemplation, like that of the Creator, without any cultivation methods. It was only suitable for the Creator and not for other races of beings.

Or perhaps they were ancient gods, born with mastery of the laws of the Great Dao. After having offspring, they became demigods, also mastering a portion of the mysteries of the laws.

But all of this is knowing what happened, but not why it happened.

The spirits of the day after tomorrow are merely mortals, unable to tread the path of the extraordinary, and utterly powerless to resist any ancient gods or demigods; they can only become food for the gods.

until……

Yu Tianzun was the first to open up the divine treasure and create the path of acquired cultivation!

From that moment on, the entire universe began to change!

Countless living beings praise the name of the Celestial Lord!

This is why the Ancient God Emperor was wary of the Heavenly Venerable Yu Tian, ​​and secretly ordered the Heavenly Venerable Hao Tian and the Yin Emperor to assassinate him.

"Haotianzun is the second person to create the Five Luminaries Divine Treasury after Yutianzun. Your achievements in cultivation are great."

"But you said I made no contribution and was just one of the Nine Venerables of Dragon Han to make up the numbers..."

Kaihuang smiled slightly and said, "My Dao Realm system is comparable to the Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system. Isn't that enough?"

Haotianzun's face darkened.

The first person to propose the Dao Realm system was Kaihuang!

Although the ancient Tai Emperor attained enlightenment through divine consciousness, he relied on external objects and the power of incense offerings, and thus lacked a clear understanding of the Dao realm.

It wasn't until Kaihuang Sword Dao reached the thirty-fifth level, just one step away from achieving Dao, that, spurred on by Qin Mu, he left Wuyou Township and proposed the cultivation path of Dao Realm, spreading it throughout the universe and filling the gaps in the Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system.

Cao Ya was certainly aware of the Dao Realm, but given his previous lack of strength, how could he dare to act recklessly? He was afraid that the Heavenly Court wouldn't notice him? Or that Yan Kang wouldn't notice him?!

Moreover, in the original timeline, the introduction of the Dao Realm was originally the achievement of the Kaihuang Emperor.

Boom!!!

Seeing that he could not belittle Kaihuang and damage his Dao heart, Haotianzun said no more. Two nearly complete Heavenly Courts, one on the left and one on the right, flew around him.

The immense power erupted, the vast Milky Way stopped flowing, and even the surrounding world was in great danger, at risk of being destroyed by the Heavenly Venerable at any moment!

Emperor Kaihuang avoided those areas, unwilling to harm the innocent.

With his attacks, Haotianzun would not waste a single bit of his power.

Swordsmanship belongs to the acquired path, and the Kaihuang era further deduced it to the thirty-fifth level of the Dao Realm, which is only a hair's breadth away from the thirty-sixth level of the Dao Realm.

In terms of magical power, spiritual strength, and physical strength, Kaihuang is no match for Haotianzun.

However, the sword path is primarily about killing and warfare. Kaihuang activated the Worry-Free Sword, and its fierce aura spread for thousands of miles. He used offense as defense and restrained Haotianzun.

Even a wisp of Kaihuang's sword intent was enough to make Haotian Zun wary and unwilling to get involved.

In particular, apart from Xiaotianzun who was exiled, all the Celestial Venerables mobilized, leading a large army to crush Xuandu and suppress the rebels.

Although it is a grand plan of the Heavenly Court, after the battle, whoever is in the best condition will have a great chance to seize the supreme throne of the Heavenly Court, command all heroes, and make other Heavenly Venerables submit.

After millions of years of scheming and intrigue, the Jade Emperor was unwilling to fall behind and had to submit to others.

Obeying the orders of the Goddess Taisu also had ulterior motives.

To perish together with Kaihuang, or to suffer serious injury, is not what Haotianzun wants to see.

To inflict severe damage on Kaihuang with only minor injuries is the best possible outcome.

However, Haotianzun also knew that it was too difficult, and the possibility was almost zero.

"Hmm, if I can restrain Emperor Kai, my mission is complete. If they ask me about it later, I'll have something to say." Haotian Venerable thought to himself, "Other Heavenly Venerables might not be able to withstand Emperor Kai's sword light!"

Anyway, the two targets this time are Heaven and Cao Ya.

Kaihuang, Mutianzun, Yuetianzun, Youtianzun, Langwan Shenwang, Tubo, etc., are not included.

By dealing with each rebellion one by one, the Heavenly Court, relying on its overwhelming power, will surely crush all the rebels and achieve a great victory!

At that time, you will be able to rule over all the heavens and myriad realms without any worries!

Even if the methods are cruel, exploitative and oppressive!

Even the myriad realms were powerless to resist.

After a few rounds, Emperor Kaihuang understood Haotianzun's intentions, and immediately frowned.

"Sizzle~~~"

The sword light was invincible, causing the two heavenly palaces to tremble incessantly. However, the laws of the Great Dao permeated the area, and the magical power surged, resisting the Kaihuang sword intent and making little progress.

This time, with Haotian Zun relentlessly pursuing him, Kaihuang had no good solutions.

Kaihuang found it quite troublesome.

He wasn't sure how many Heavenly Venerables Cao Ya could possibly match in the battle within Xuandu.

Even though he had been to Yankang and had a secret encounter with Cao Ya, he knew how terrifying Cao Ya was.

But those were the Four Heavenly Venerables after all!

Consort Qiang and Lady Yuanmu have many hidden cards up their sleeves, and are incomparably ruthless.

Gong Tianzun and Langxuan Shenhuang are equally formidable.

Unfortunately, Haotianzun blocked his way. With a steady and methodical approach, Kaihuang had no choice but to use his swordsmanship to fight Haotianzun within a range of tens of millions of miles. They were evenly matched, each winning a round, but neither could gain the upper hand.

Even Kaihuang had to be careful not to give Haotianzun an opportunity to strike a fatal blow!

His defense, however, is no match for Haotianzun!

Above the Milky Way, four battlefields of Celestial Venerables are taking place. Besides the Moon Celestial Venerable, the Fire Celestial Venerable, the Langwan Divine King, the Yan Celestial Consort, the Kaihuang Celestial Venerable, and the Hao Celestial Venerable, there is also the Nether Celestial Venerable, who is engaged in a fierce battle with the Void Celestial Venerable.

You Tianzun has stayed in Youdu for countless millennia. He was transformed into Tu Bo by the Great Dao of Youdu and was named Tianqi Rensheng Wang, the second most important figure in Youdu.

Over the years, his body has aged, and he has transformed into countless old men of the underworld, traversing countless realms and guiding the souls of the dead. Because of his power, no one dares to disobey or defy the Great Dao of the Underworld.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).

Originally, Venerable Xu held Venerable You in some contempt.

As the daughter of Tu Bo, although she did not agree with Tu Bo's actions, she inherited Tu Bo's bloodline and became the sacred and extraordinary Void Celestial Venerable. She believed that her origins were extraordinary and that she had grown up in the Heavenly Court since childhood, receiving a variety of excellent educations. Later, she absorbed the reform achievements of various eras, and her strength advanced by leaps and bounds, which is why she was hailed as a Celestial Venerable!

"You Tianzun only managed to open the Divine Treasury of Life and Death by taking advantage of the times. In reality, his Dao heart has long been corrupted. Like the Father God, he is trapped in Youdu, self-isolated. He has first-rate talent but no proper Dao heart. He is not worth paying too much attention to."

As the Void Celestial Venerable thought, the single horn on his head, which he inherited from the Earth Lord and also possessed mysterious supernatural powers, pierced through the void with a hiss.

"Phew~~"

At the same time, the Styx whip flew out from the waist of the Void Celestial Venerable, whistling and spinning, about to strike the Nether Celestial Venerable.

At first, You Tianzun mostly dodged, occasionally retaliating to neutralize Xu Tianzun's moves.

However, later on, You Tianzun seemed to realize the situation on the other three battlefields on the Milky Way, and also knew about the changes in Xuandu, and that the strongmen of his own camp were in great danger.

Looking at Tu Bo, who was restricted from leaving the Netherworld due to the Great Dao, Netherworld Venerable sighed softly.

He can no longer hold back!

"Uncle Tu...your daughter needs to be taught a lesson..."

You Tianzun put on the mask, and instantly, his aged body burst forth with endless light!

Void Celestial Venerable was startled and brandished his long whip to stop Nether Celestial Venerable from ascending.

"Don't act like an old man here! I will capture and kill any traitor!" Venerable Xu Tian said coldly.

However, the next second, her eyes narrowed, and she almost froze.

She saw a primordial spirit!

A primordial spirit beyond imagination!

It might even be the strongest primordial spirit in history!

Even beings like Xiaotianzun, Haotianzun, Tiangong, and Tubo, when it comes to a simple contest of primordial spirit, are no match for Youtianzun at this moment!

"How is this possible?!" Venerable Xu Tian was shocked. A divine light shot out from his single horn, and his long whip spun, from which a black dragon flew out, roaring towards the Milky Way.

However, all of Venerable Xu's attempts were like sandcastles on the beach, crumbling at the slightest push.

The Heavenly Venerable of the Netherworld no longer concealed himself; the strongest primordial spirit in history was revealed, with countless rays of divine light and auspicious radiance.

Even the Celestial Venerables on various battlefields couldn't help but glance at them, their eyes filled with horror.

Inside Xuandu.

Many celestial beings, including Lingxiao and the experts of the Emperor's Throne in the Heavenly Court army, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"The primordial spirit of the Netherworld Venerable... is the strongest in history!"

Cao Ya looked up and seemed to pass through the Xuandu boundary wall, seeing that incomparably majestic super primordial spirit, larger than a world!

Cao Ya's expression was also one of admiration.

Although You Tianzun appears to be sitting in Youdu in seclusion, becoming withdrawn and seemingly withering away, in reality, You Tianzun's countless avatars traverse the heavens, and countless souls have gone to Youdu to be reincarnated. What kind of Taoist methods or changes can escape his eyes?

In other aspects, You Tianzun may have flaws.

The infinitely divisible primordial spirit, when it merges, will surely shake the universe!

Just like now.

Opposite them, the six Heavenly Venerables—Qiang Tianfei, Gong Tianzun, Yuan Mu Furen, Lang Xuan Shenhuang, Zu Shenwang, and Hong Tianzun—couldn't help but frown.

They underestimated You Tianzun, and their plan had flaws. Could Xu Tianzun alone stop him?

Tian Shu, the butcher, Luo Wushuang, and Zhe Huali were also astonished.

"You Tianzun is so powerful?!" they exclaimed in disbelief. You Tianzun's strength was beyond their expectations!

Only Qin Mu laughed heartily.

"The Netherworld Venerable, who opened the Divine Treasury of Life and Death, is far more powerful than the Void Venerable! If it were her father, Earth Lord, it would be more comparable!"

"But Tu Bo will not attack You Tianzun!"

Qin Mu laughed, leading the four of them like a sharp blade, traversing millions of miles of the area covered by the power of the divine artifact Yutianzun, and arriving on the massive body of Tiangong.

"Heavens, I have something important to discuss with you!"
