The gentle smile on the Heavenly Emperor's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of majesty.
He glanced at the white ox again and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, I will give you another chance. As long as you admit your mistake, swear to the Heavenly Dao, and are willing to convert to my Heavenly Court in the future, I will order someone to release you."
Bai Niu, confident in Hu Le's backing, was not afraid of death. He believed that even if he fell into reincarnation, his master could easily pull him out of it.
“My mind is made up. You, the Heavenly Emperor, need not try to persuade me any further. Whether it’s divine punishment or a split soul, use whatever means you have. If I even flinch, then all these years of cultivation will have been in vain.”
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly and smiled, "Very well! In that case, I will grant your wish!"
After saying this, he raised his hand and summoned the Grand Master of Fate, who was in charge of the Heavenly Laws, to his side.
"My dear minister, he is now in your hands. Take him to the Execution Platform to be punished."
After respectfully accepting the decree, the High Priest turned to the White Ox and said, "Let's go. Do you need me to invite you?"
The white ox said fearlessly, "No need, I can walk by myself."
Having said that, he strode after the Grand Master of Fate toward the Execution Platform.
Along the way, many gods were secretly observing this scene. They all knew that Bai Niu was doomed this time, because the Execution Platform was one of the cruelest and most dangerous places in the Heavenly Court. Only gods who had committed serious crimes would be sent there to be punished.
Moreover, none of the immortals and gods who went up the Execution Platform ever came down unscathed.
White Bull's crimes were clearly extremely serious, so he was doomed to die.
However, some deities still admired and regretted him, after all, he dared to openly defy the authority of the Heavenly Emperor, a courage that not everyone possesses.
It's a pity! Although this old monster was very powerful, he was ultimately outnumbered and outmatched, and he chose the wrong opponent.
In the celestial realm of this universe, apart from a few saints and their disciples, who else dares to oppose the Heavenly Court?
The Grand Master of Fate personally escorted the old ox, traversing the Heavenly Palace along the way, and finally arrived outside the Western Heavenly Gate.
White clouds drifted across the sky, ethereal mist swirled, and myriad rays of light illuminated the heavens.
Deep within that ethereal, rosy glow, stands an octagonal platform suspended in mid-air.
This high platform was entirely formed from condensed clouds. Although there was no blood on it, it was filled with the wails of countless ghosts and gods, and a cold and severe killing intent permeated the air.
From afar, it evokes a sense of inexplicable chill and fear...
This is the Execution Platform.
Legend has it that this place is one of the most terrifying places in the entire immortal realm!
Countless immortals and gods were once brought here to receive all sorts of cruel punishments from the Heavenly Court.
The Grand Master of Fate arrived at the Execution Platform with the white ox. At that moment, wisps of black energy suddenly gathered above the platform.
The black gas accumulated and gradually formed a dark cloud.
And from within these dark clouds, faint, chilling roars could be heard.
This is a sign that Heaven has unleashed its murderous intent, and even ghosts and gods are terrified...
The white ox was brought to the Execution Platform, and a chill involuntarily crept into its heart. It couldn't help but shiver.
The Grand Master of Fate immediately summoned two heavenly soldiers.
The two heavenly soldiers quickly erected a flagpole on the Execution Platform and hung the white ox high on it.
After doing all this, the Grand Master of Fate turned and left the Execution Platform. He built a thatched hut on the opposite side and sat down at a jade table inside.
Before long, several more junior priests came over, each carrying a box, and respectfully handed it to the senior priest.
The High Priestess looked at the box before her, her face darkening with a chilling expression.
She gently lifted the lid of one of the treasure boxes, and her gaze was immediately drawn to the items inside.
It was filled with Heavenly Dao Talismans, each radiating a mysterious and powerful aura.
These talismans represent the order and laws of heaven and earth, and can mobilize the power of the heavens to unleash boundless heavenly punishment.
She looked up at the sky, observing the changes in the sky.
Suddenly, she noticed the Big Dipper shining brightly, and Venus also cast a primal killing intent. This meant the time had come, and the Grand Master of Fate needed to act immediately.
The High Priestess swiftly retrieved a fiery red token from the box, gripping it tightly and sensing the immense power it contained.
Without hesitation, she threw out the command token, which drew a bright arc in the air and turned into a streak of light that shot straight into the sky.
The streak of light traversed the void and disappeared into the endless darkness, but it seemed to have touched some kind of heavenly rule.
The next moment, clusters of extremely condensed true fire descended from the sky, falling downwards with intense heat.
These real flames struck the white bull like meteors, hitting his body with unerring accuracy.
The white bull was bound to the flagpole with thick chains and could not move.
His magical power and primordial spirit were both bound, and he completely lost the ability to resist.
Faced with this sudden attack, Bai Niu's face instantly turned ferocious and twisted. The burning pain from the fire surged like a tidal wave, making it almost unbearable for him.
However, he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and did not utter a sound...
The raging fire enveloped the white ox and burned for three days and three nights. Although not a single white hair on his body was burned, the pain was real.
Seeing that the true fire was ineffective, the Great Master of Fate was not in a hurry. She knew that to truly subdue the white bull before her, she would need more patience.
So she silently recited an incantation and retrieved the red talisman.
As the command token was withdrawn, the raging flames, having lost the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, gradually dissipated into the air.
After the flames completely disappeared, the white bull felt much better and was finally able to catch its breath.
It exhaled a long breath, as if releasing the fatigue and stress that had accumulated in its body over the past few days.
However, at that moment, the Grand Master of Fate took out a transparent Heavenly Decree from the treasure box.
This token is different from the previous red tokens; it exudes a cold aura, seemingly containing endless chill.
The Grand Master of Fate looked at the token in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
She silently recited a few incantations, then cast the talisman into the void.
With a "whoosh," the token vanished into the void like lightning, disappearing without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, a cold wave surged through the void, freezing everything in its path, and frost fluttered between heaven and earth.
The next moment, a huge cold current cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly engulfing the white ox.
This cold air is extremely yin and can freeze everything. Even a Great Luo body, if accidentally enveloped by the cold air, will freeze and shatter into dust in a moment.
Of course, when this cold air freezes, it doesn't discriminate between inside and outside; one's primordial spirit is no exception and will also be frozen by the cold air...
