Suddenly, the sage Chongying stumbled, lost his balance, and swayed precariously.
Upon seeing this, the Sage opposite him had a hint of joy in his eyes. He waved his whisk, and a sharp beam of light swept towards the Sage Chongying.
With a loud "bang," Sage Chongying staggered backward again, his entire body flying out like a kite with a broken string.
The sage's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He raised his hand and pointed, and the Great Millstone roared as it shot toward the sage.
However, at this critical moment, Sage Chongying gritted his teeth and slapped his left hand forward. A dazzling celestial light flew out from his palm and rushed towards the Great Millstone of Ending Like a meteor.
"Boom!" The celestial light collided with the Great Millstone of Ending, creating a deafening roar.
The entire space trembled, as if it were about to collapse.
The celestial light shattered under the impact of the Great Millstone, but it stubbornly resisted the millstone's onslaught, preventing it from advancing any further.
Just as the Great Millstone was about to burst through the celestial light, the Sage Chongying transformed into a stream of light and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Dao Diagram, suspended high in the air, quickly transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into that world.
The Sage knew that Chong Ying was a Primordial Sage, whose realm and strength were incomparable to ordinary people. His primordial spirit was entrusted to the void, and his Dao fruit was hidden in the Heavenly Dao. It was not easy to kill him.
Therefore, he did not pursue, but instead put the Great Millstone back into his sleeve.
At this moment, the old ox arrived beside him on auspicious clouds, cupped his hands slightly, and smiled, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your great victory!"
The Sage smiled slightly: "This fiend has already been defeated. You can relax now. Even if you become the Heavenly Emperor, he shouldn't be able to say anything!"
In his view, Chong Ying was, after all, the leader of the Hunyuan Sect, and he could accept defeat.
Now that he has lost this battle, he will not dwell on the matter of the Heavenly Emperor.
"We also owe a great debt to the sage's support!" Old Niu was a grateful man.
The sage remained noncommittal about this matter; his fervent efforts stemmed from Hu Le's instructions.
If it weren't for Hu Le's support, he would have been too busy running around for Lao Niu.
Next, the Sage bestowed a talisman upon the old ox, and then turned and returned to his own temple.
Holding the imperial edict in both hands, the old ox rushed towards the Heavenly Court without delay.
Not long after, he finally arrived outside the Heavenly Gate.
Because of the commotion caused by the old bull's rampage in the Heavenly Palace last time, the guards at the Heavenly Gate are several times tighter than before.
When the old ox slowly descended from the sky on auspicious clouds, it immediately alerted the heavenly soldiers and generals.
They recognized Lao Niu at a glance, and their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
After all, they hadn't forgotten how this old ox had been able to move freely and invincibly through the Heavenly Court, while many of their colleagues had fallen like grass being cut down.
Now that this person has actually returned, how can they not be terrified?
Before the old ox even got close, the heavenly soldiers and generals had already scattered in terror.
They fled in panic towards the Heavenly Palace, shouting, "Oh no! That old demon is back!"
Looking at everything that was happening before him, Old Niu couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and sigh, and slowly shook his head.
If he becomes the Heavenly Emperor in the future, he must be properly disciplined. Otherwise, how can he behave so flustered in the face of trouble? Where is the dignity of the Heavenly Court?
Immediately afterwards, he held the talisman in both hands and walked steadily and slowly toward the Heavenly Palace.
He quickly crossed the Heavenly Gate and passed through two palaces without encountering any obstacles.
Just as he stepped onto a rainbow bridge and was about to enter the next palace, countless stars suddenly gathered above his head and then poured down on him like a waterfall.
The old ox immediately stopped and looked up at the sky. He saw that the Milky Way Emperor was shrouded in a thick layer of starlight and was floating up and down in the air.
Behind the Galactic Emperor followed dozens of immortals and gods, all of whom were important figures in the Heavenly Court, each holding high positions and wielding great power, and their influence resounded throughout the Three Realms.
"What a bold old monster! You actually dare to come back? Are you tired of living?" The Galactic Emperor glared at the old bull, his eyes flashing with anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could tear this guy who dared to challenge the majesty of the Heavenly Court to pieces immediately.
However, faced with the wrath of the Galactic Emperor, the old bull showed no fear, but instead revealed a disdainful smile.
He slowly raised his hand, revealing the talisman that exuded a mysterious aura. The talisman was inscribed with ancient and complex runes, seemingly containing boundless power and secrets.
"Open your eyes wide and take a good look. This time, I, Old Niu, have come with the Emperor's decree," Old Niu said with a sneer, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that these people's reverence for the saint was enough to prevent them from easily questioning his identity.
Sure enough, the Galactic Emperor's expression changed. He stared at the talisman in the old bull's hand, a nameless doubt rising in his heart.
If this is truly the will of a sage, then he must treat it with utmost care, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Whose edict is this? And where did you obtain it?" the Galactic Emperor asked疑惑地.
But Old Niu just smiled slightly. He gently raised the talisman in his hand, and a dazzling light shot out from the talisman, illuminating the entire sky.
Within the light, a gigantic figure could be vaguely seen emerging, radiating a suffocating pressure.
"Greetings to the Holy One!" Upon seeing this, the Milky Way Emperor and all the immortals and gods knelt on the cloud and shouted in unison.
They felt the unparalleled power of the saint and were filled with awe.
Old Niu nodded in satisfaction. He knew that these people had been intimidated by the saint's majesty and would no longer dare to resist easily.
He put away the talisman and coldly stared at the Galactic Emperor and the others, waiting for their reaction.
At this moment, the Galactic Emperor was extremely conflicted, unsure of how to deal with the situation before him.
On the one hand, he was angry about the arrival of the old ox, but on the other hand, he was afraid of the sage's will.
Ultimately, the Galactic Emperor decided to temporarily set aside his personal grudges and first understand the Sage's intentions.
"I wonder what the Sage's intentions are. Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist." The Milky Way Emperor hastily bowed to the old bull, his tone carrying a hint of humility and a deep resentment.
Old Niu's lips curled up slightly; he knew that the Galactic Emperor had already succumbed to the saint's majesty.
He gently waved his hand, signaling the Galactic Emperor and the others to rise, and then conveyed the Sage's decree to everyone.
"What? This is impossible?"
Upon hearing that Old Niu had come to succeed the Heavenly Emperor on the orders of the Sage, the Milky Way Emperor couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The expressions of the immortals and gods behind him also hinted at an impending explosion...
