Chapter 184: The Final Battle of Old Acquaintances "Just found out today."...
Although Si Ling was confident, he was not completely free of nervousness.
Because the three rebels weren't alone in their challenge. Behind their towering walls lay a hundred thousand of Heaven's elite soldiers. These soldiers were forged with the finest magic, and while their equipment was comparable to what Si Ling had acquired from Fox Market, the celestial soldiers themselves had undergone thirty thousand years of iterative upgrades, making them a far superior force to the celestials she had summoned from the Puerto Rico Trench. Even if the members of the five major clans, with their tens of thousands of years of cultivation, faced them head-on, many would likely be evenly matched.
So in Si Ling's eyes, although this battle cannot be fought at all, it is best not to fight.
Although sacrifices were inevitable in war, the people of the five major clans had other options at the time, but they chose to enter the void without hesitation and waited for her loyally for 30,000 years. She sincerely hoped that every one of them could live longer.
Seeing the three people enveloped by golden light, Si Ling remained calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in his throat.
Xuan Chi's gaze was fixed on the tower, where several generals stood. They were clearly not celestial soldiers forged by magical power, but actual gods. Seeing the three rebels being assaulted by the golden light of Si Ling's primordial soul, they all stood with furious brows, staring intently at Si Ling's primordial soul.
Xuan Chi held the long spear tightly in his hand, thinking that if they dared to move, he would fight them.
Fortunately, until the golden light faded, the generals on the city wall did not act rashly.
The three rebels stared at each other in silence after the golden light faded. Si Ling rode the fairy deer to meet them, and Xuan Chi and several generals followed closely behind. But when they were still more than ten meters away, she raised her hand to signal them to stop, and walked alone to the three of them.
"What do you three think?" Si Ling asked with a smile.
The three of them stared at each other in silence for a while. Nezha was the first to speak: "If that's the case..." He looked conflicted. "It's karma. I won't interfere."
Si Ling nodded silently in gratitude and looked at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian didn't say anything, he just put away his weapon, shook his head, and flew away on a cloud.
The generals on the city wall: “?”
"Great Sage?" Si Ling looked at Sun Wukong, who scratched his head and laughed, "Hey, so annoying! We're letting you in today, but you have to win, otherwise the three of us will have to go back to causing trouble in Heaven!"
"Yes, we will win." Si Ling looked up at the city wall behind him, gritting his teeth, "That bastard Di Jun couldn't have defeated me back then if he hadn't launched a sneak attack!"
"Hahahahaha." The Great Sage laughed loudly, then reached near his ear and pulled out a hair, handing it to Si Ling. "Here, this is for you."
Si Ling was stunned, not understanding what he meant. The Great Sage pointed at the hair and said, "You can transform into many monkeys. Just consider it as me buying some shares. If you win, I'll give everyone in Huaguo Mountain a peach at the next Peach Festival. Is that okay?"
This sounded like a business deal, but Si Ling felt that the peaches were just an excuse and the Great Sage was just watching the fun.
They are indeed the three great rebels.
"Thank you." She took the hair with a smile. The Great Sage laughed again with glee and flew away on the auspicious cloud.
Seeing this, Nezha had no intention of staying, so he casually said, "I'm going back to Chentangguan for a stroll," and left.
Si Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had all left. He turned around to collect his Yuanhun and looked up at the generals on the city wall.
Although they didn't know what had just happened, seeing that the three main generals had all left, even a fool knew that something was wrong. The moment their eyes met hers, they all shuddered at the same time.
"Xuan Chi." Si Ling tilted her head slightly. Xuan Chi stepped forward to receive orders. Si Ling smiled faintly and said, "Take people to arrest them. If they don't resist, don't hurt them. If they resist—" She paused, "Kill them."
"Yes." Xuan Chi led several heavenly soldiers to the tower to meet them. Si Ling didn't pay much attention to whether there was a battle on the tower. He cast a spell and knocked open the city gate.
Inside the city gate, the heavenly soldiers were lined up in neat formations, but they would not move without the orders of their generals.
Si Ling's gaze passed over them, gazing at the towering mountains in the distance, and he found a towering palace among the clouds and mist.
Heavenly Palace...
This is the place she built and has appeared in her dreams for 30,000 years.
She finally saw him again.
.
At the same time, in the deep forest on the northernmost side of the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Yu Heng was kneeling in front of the dark gray ancient altar and praying to the ancient gods.
This was a custom inherited from Xin Bi. Born among the sun, moon, and stars, Xin Bi firmly believed that the ancient gods would hear her prayers. However, Yu Heng was deeply skeptical. Initially, he had a close relationship with Xin Bi, but he had never heard her mention any response from the gods. Furthermore, in the past 30,000 years, his prayers to the gods had received no response either.
not to mention……
Xin Bi died at his hands. If the prayers really worked, the ancient gods should bless her, right?
This kind of doubt and ridicule has always lingered in Yu Heng's mind. To this day, he actually no longer believes in the existence of the ancient gods. The reason why he still maintains this custom is, in part, because it is both convenient and does not cause unnecessary trouble. The other major reason is that he needs this mysterious ritual to help him consolidate his rule and make the gods believe that there is a more powerful force behind him protecting him.
He reasonably suspected that Xin Bi had thought the same way back then, otherwise why would the five major clans prefer to escape into the void rather than follow him?
Every time when he prayed, these jokes would emerge in Yu Heng's heart. These jokes inadvertently distracted him, so he did not notice that a coolness had spread around him, and even the sky had darkened.
A few seconds later, a cold wind blew straight against Yu Heng's back. This clear feeling finally caught his attention. He was startled and suddenly opened his eyes. He suddenly found that the dark gray altar in front of him had disappeared without a trace, and there was only endless wilderness around him.
There wasn't even a tree on the ground beneath his feet, only some wild grass, not very dense. A lot of land was exposed. When a gust of wind blew, the sand and gravel on the bare land were swept up and swayed in the wind.
This is……
Ancient scenes.
Back then, the world was just beginning to take shape, with few living creatures. The three realms were a wasteland, and it was in this desolate place that Xin Bi began her conquests. Back then, he was one of the people she trusted most, and that was many years ago.
The wind blew up another gust of sand and gravel. Yu Heng subconsciously closed his eyes to avoid it. When he opened his eyes again, there was a person standing a few meters away from him.
The other person was wearing a black long-sleeved tight-fitting dress. Her face was pale and her lips were red like blood. A strange crack extended from her forehead to the corner of her lips.
Yu Heng was taken aback by this half-human, half-ghost appearance. Even when he saw the familiar twin swords in her hands, he still had to work hard to distinguish them: "...Xin Bi?"
Si Ling tilted his head and sneered: "I thought you would play dumb."
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed forward with her sword in hand without a word of nonsense. Yu Heng's pupils suddenly shrank, and a long sword appeared in his hand in an instant, steadily catching her attack.
When their eyes met, hatred was evident in Si Ling's eyes. The strong resentment caused a dark and gloomy wind to swirl around them. Yu Heng glanced at him sideways and chuckled softly, "No wonder I couldn't find you. You turned into a ghost!"
"Thousands of souls gather together!" Si Ling shouted, and countless ghostly figures identical to her quickly appeared around her. Almost simultaneously, she shifted her thoughts, causing a ghost to take her place. Her true form silently flashed behind Yu Heng, her pair of short swords transformed into giant swords, slashing down at him.
"Dang——" Yu Heng suddenly turned around and took another blow steadily, then kicked. Si Ling dodged sideways, and Yu Heng took the opportunity to step on the clouds and retreat.
Si Ling also jumped onto the cloud, and the two faced each other in the air. Yu Heng smiled contemptuously: "You are good at fighting, but I was once a general."
Si Ling said nothing, just looked at Yu Heng.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Heng heard a gust of wind coming from behind him, and immediately raised his sword to block it, but he was just a step too late. The oncoming halberd hit his face, making him take the blow head-on.
Before he could react, the halberd attacked again.
Outside the barrier, the five major clans and the celestial soldiers attacked the Heavenly Palace. Unaware of the situation, the gods who were working mostly surrendered. The occasional resistance inevitably led to a bloodbath.
Inside the barrier, Xuan Chi's movements were extremely fast. Although Yu Heng was able to block three out of five moves, he still quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing another spell coming from Xuan Chi, Yu Heng dodged the blow and pushed it back a few feet. Xuan Chi immediately leaped in pursuit, but saw Yu Heng suddenly close his eyes, actually stopping his movements in the middle of the fight to concentrate on chanting a spell.
Si Ling's eyes shone: "Xuan Chi, be careful!" As soon as he said this, he dodged and chased after him. Before Yu Heng finished the last word, he kicked Xuan Chi away. Then he immediately jumped up, and before the huge palm that appeared out of thin air hit him, he did three consecutive somersaults to escape Yu Heng's attack.
She just knew...
Si Ling took a breath and opened his lips to cast the same spell: "Law of Heaven and Earth!"
Between the four words, a golden phantom a hundred meters tall appeared out of thin air behind her. When Yu Heng's next attack came, it met it with all its might and stabbed with its two-handed daggers continuously.
Yu Heng squinted his eyes and watched the two Dharma images fighting for a while, then turned his gaze to Si Ling again, without any panic on his face: "Okay, let's compete."
Si Ling stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Yu Heng, and recited another spell word by word: "Myriad Forms of the Netherworld."
In the blink of an eye, wind and clouds surged above her head, and countless skeletons formed a wall behind her with ferocious faces, and then roared and gathered into a human-shaped phantom that was also a hundred meters tall. It immediately joined the battle and fought side by side with the golden shadow of Fa Tian Xiang Di.
Yu Heng's pupils suddenly shrank. He stared at the miracle in front of him in disbelief, shaking his head and muttering, "Impossible, you...you..."
"You've never seen a ghost or god in the same body, right?" Si Ling paused and said honestly, "I haven't seen it either. If you win, I don't mind you capturing me for research. But..."
But Yu Heng had no chance of winning. Their Fa Tian Xiang Di could still tie for the time being, but Si Lingxin's newly summoned You Hai Wan Xiang instantly doubled her combat power.
So within five moves, the bone sword in Youhai Wanxiang's hand pierced into Yu Heng's Dharma image. The huge phantom roared in pain to the sky, but before the roar ended, the golden dagger lightly slashed and cut his throat in one fell swoop.
"No!!!" Yu Heng screamed in despair. The burning sensation in his body made him lower his head in panic.
He then saw holes appearing one after another on his body, with golden beams of light coming out of the holes.
Not far away, two phantoms continued to stab with swords one after another. As the Dharma image became riddled with holes, more and more holes appeared on Yu Heng's real body. When the golden light faded, flames surged out - that was the true fire of the sun that gave birth to Di Jun at the beginning of the birth of the world, but now it began to backfire and quickly engulfed him.
Then, at a certain moment, Yu Heng disappeared.
Si Ling felt something was wrong, his eyes darkened slightly, and then he heard his laughter overwhelming the sky: "The gods have escaped into hell, you are very smart."
"But I learned... wait?!" The mocking laughter suddenly turned into fear.
Si Ling paused, not knowing what was going on, when Xuan Chi suddenly appeared, embraced her and suddenly avoided the clouds.
Si Ling then realized that the auspicious cloud he had just stepped on had turned black. Furthermore, all the clouds within his sight had also turned black. Looking more closely, he saw a faint green glow within the black sea, a common hue in Fengdu, but never seen in the heavens.
"Hahahaha——" A sinister female voice came out from the dark cloud. Si Ling only felt a shadow flash in his peripheral vision. Looking closely, he saw several ghost officials divided into two rows, emerging from the dark cloud.
Behind them, a large throne had just emerged from the top of its backrest and then continued to rise slowly. An enchanting beauty was sitting sideways on the throne with her legs crossed, and three long, fluffy tails were swaying behind her.
“???” Si Ling stared at the familiar face with his pupils trembling, and opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Xuan Chi was so shocked that he blurted out: "Shuang Yi?!?!"
"It's more appropriate for you to call me King Yama now, General." Shuang Ye corrected his address and nodded to Si Ling, "Long time no see, Your Majesty."
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for the two to react. She leaped straight into the clouds above. Two seconds later, a pair of sharp claws grabbed Yu Heng's shoulders and smashed down with him. "You learned nothing! You old immortal tyrant! My true fox form is less than 1.5 meters tall, and you shot me with 5,000 or 6,000 arrows? If you were in the human world, you would be killed! I have waited 30,000 years for this day! Do you think I can let you go to hell?!"
"..." Si Ling and Xuan Chi stared at each other stiffly, and then suddenly, she saw a familiar face among the ghost messengers, "Xie Bian!" Si Ling shouted, rushed over and pushed Xie Bian's shoulder hard, and asked angrily, "We have known each other for thousands of years, and you never told me that King Yama is a woman?"
——Admittedly, even if she knew this information, it was not enough for her to guess that it was Shuang Ye, but she felt that she could at least speculate, and perhaps she would get the answer if there was another opportunity.
"I said I just found out too. Do you believe me?" Xie Bian was barely breathing, the smile on his face uglier than crying. "I just found out today."
