Looking at Haotian and Yaochi Jinmu's cautious expressions, Tongtian Jiaozhu couldn't help but sigh and gently shake his head.
As a saint, he acted entirely according to divine will, and even if the couple humbled themselves, he would not show them the slightest pity.
In any case, neither of them could avoid being listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
After all, these two once held supreme power in the Three Realms, and when they had power, they could decide the life, death, and fate of all living beings.
This status is certainly prestigious, but it also carries a heavy burden of karmic consequences.
If it weren't for the fact that we are currently in a period of great calamity, requiring the reckoning of these karmic debts, they might still be able to hide deep within the Jade Pool and avoid the backlash of karmic debts.
But now that the great calamity has arrived, they can no longer remain uninvolved.
"The karmic burdens you've carried over the years are too heavy; it's time for you to go on the Investiture of the Gods list..." the Tongtian Sect Leader said bluntly. "So, will you commit suicide, or should I personally send you on your way?"
Upon hearing this, the Ziwei Emperor looked at Haotian and his wife with a hint of pity.
Back then, they sat high above, in the Lingxiao Palace, issuing commands to the gods on the Investiture of the Gods list.
Anyone who makes a mistake will be dragged to the execution platform and subjected to being struck by lightning and burned by fire.
However, they themselves will now become part of the Investiture of the Gods.
In the future, they will no longer have the glory and power of the past, but will instead be driven by others.
I wonder if they can handle such a huge psychological gap?
Upon hearing this, Haotian and his wife turned ashen-faced, a flicker of fear and despair crossing their eyes.
They looked at each other, and then without hesitation knelt down before the cult leader.
At this moment, they completely disregarded their former dignity as emperors and knelt down without hesitation, pleading, "Master, please have mercy and spare us!"
Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader simply shook his head slightly, seemingly unconcerned about their pleas for mercy.
He couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to their argument anymore.
"Stop your noise and go..."
As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and the Qingping Sword at his waist shot out, transforming into a streak of emerald light that gently circled the two of them.
In the blink of an eye, the two were killed on the spot.
Two jets of blood shot out, followed by a head rolling to the ground, and then the other head fell to the ground immediately afterward.
After drawing blood, the Qingping Sword flew back, like a nimble little snake, and darted into the scabbard at the waist of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
At this moment, Haotian and Yaochi remained kneeling, but their life force was rapidly fading away.
Not long after, the two heads stopped rolling.
When Emperor Ziwei looked closely, he found that the expressions on the two people's faces were frozen in that moment of utter terror.
At the same time, their true spirits floated out of the Niwan Palace and flew straight to the Investiture Platform.
After the Tongtian Sect Leader finished killing the two, he paid no more attention to them, turned to look at the Ziwei Emperor, and instructed, "From now on, you will be in charge of handling the aftermath of this matter."
"Don't worry, Master, leave this matter to me."
Emperor Ziwei dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly bowed in agreement.
Seeing this, the Master of Heaven nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left...
After sending the Tongtian Sect Leader out of the Heavenly Palace, the Ziwei Emperor returned and found the Seventh Princess of Heaven weeping beside the two corpses.
He sighed, immediately ordered his men to take the Seventh Princess away, and then collected the bodies of the couple.
Although he didn't get along well with the couple, it was because they came from Zixiao Palace.
However, since they were both Heavenly Emperors and colleagues, he couldn't bear to leave the two corpses exposed in front of the gods and immortals of Heaven.
As for the seven fairy maidens, their karmic burdens were still shallow, so they were not in danger of losing their lives and would not perish in this calamity.
...
Let's go back to when the three leaders parted ways.
Master Hu and his disciples watched as the Tongtian Sect Leader gradually disappeared into the horizon, only turning their gaze away when he was completely out of sight.
At this moment, Guan Kong suddenly turned to look at Hu Le, smiled and bowed, saying, "Master, this disciple is going to the Demon Realm."
Hu Le smiled slightly and nodded to indicate that he understood.
In the early stages of the Great Calamity, the Primordial Demon Lord led a group of demon sons and grandsons to besiege Mount Ling, but ultimately failed and had no choice but to hide in the Demon Realm.
But in doing so, they are now also victims of this calamity.
But they naively believed that this would allow them to escape the effects of the Great Calamity.
In fact, even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, who were high above the world, could not escape this calamity.
Therefore, when the Tongtian Sect Leader appeared outside the Yaochi Immortal Palace, Guan Kong also arrived in the Demon Realm on a seven-colored auspicious cloud.
The Primordial Demon Lord is currently in seclusion, attempting to comprehend a more profound Dao.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged into my heart.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
So he stopped his cultivation and began to calculate, and soon figured out the cause.
"Why is she here!"
The Primal Demon Lord felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
"I'm afraid they've come with ill intentions!"
He pondered to himself, his mood growing increasingly heavy.
He already had some guesses about the purpose of this newly promoted saint's visit...
At this moment, one of Hu Le's incarnations, the Supreme Demon Ancestor, also sensed Guan Kong's arrival.
He suddenly smiled and murmured to himself, "From this day forward, I shall be the Lord of the Demonic Path!"
...
At this moment, Guan Kong had already arrived outside the Demon Palace.
Faced with the sage personally coming to his door, the Primordial Demon Lord could no longer pretend not to know.
Left with no other choice, he hurriedly gathered his magical treasures and rushed out of the Demon Palace to greet them.
After meeting the Primordial Demon Lord, Guan Kong felt that there was not much to talk about with him.
Let's just take action directly.
A burst of five-colored light suddenly appeared in her hand, and then a Creation Cauldron slowly rose from the light.
A powerful suction force rose from the cauldron, fixing the void for billions of miles, while the Primordial Demon Lord was also entangled at the same time.
Even though the Primordial Demon Lord was the number one figure in the demonic path and possessed the highest cultivation, he was ultimately not a saint.
How could it withstand an attack launched by a sage after activating a supreme innate treasure?
He exclaimed in surprise and involuntarily threw himself into the cauldron.
A flash of demonic energy appeared on the Primordial Demon Lord's body, and a twelfth-grade black lotus appeared beneath him, enveloping his entire body in a mysterious innate divine light.
In an instant.
The power of absorption that had been surrounding him dissipated considerably.
His figure, which was being thrown into the cauldron, paused in mid-air.
Guan Kong smiled slightly upon seeing this, "In the end, it's all a futile struggle!"
Immediately, she shouted, "Go!"
Before she could finish speaking, the Creation Cauldron rose up in response, spinning as it hurtled towards the Primordial Demon Lord…
