Chapter 193 The Goddess's Wrath This...is this the Heavenly Realm?!
It's the Ming Dynasty!
It was Zhu Ming who led the people to manipulate the yin and yang sundial, which turned the stars in the sky.
Even Bitao hadn't expected Zhu Ming to be so fast!
Bitao once discussed with Zhu Ming that if the situation got out of control, Zhu Ming should immediately go to the Six Imperial Platforms of Chongxiao to activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Return to the Void Formation and summon all the immortals back to the Heavenly Realm.
This is not the "Gathering Immortals Order" on the Silver River Net, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Returning to the Ruins Grand Array, also known as the "Returning to the Ruins Order".
Guixu symbolizes the return of all things to their origin. The Guixu decree should not be lightly activated unless there is a catastrophe that overturns heaven and earth and reverses the order of the universe.
The Guixu Decree is an edict issued by the emperors of the mortal realm to summon troops back to the city for rescue when the emperor is in danger; those who disobey the order shall be executed.
Throughout the Nine Heavens and myriad realms, all immortals, whether star deities or ancient gods who wander the myriad realms year-round in seclusion, are within the scope of the Guixu Decree's summons.
To activate the Guixu Order, one must rely on the rotation of the Yin-Yang sundial within the Milky Way.
The Starry Sky Dial, which has been in sync with the Azure Emperor for many years, now only obeys the Golden Crow Clan of the Nine Heavens. If it acts rashly, it needs to be put into the Starry Sky Dial to undergo the test of consciousness of all living beings in the myriad realms, just like the Thunder Generals need to be recognized by the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao before they can mobilize the Five Thunders. Only after being recognized by the Starry Sky Dial can it be mobilized.
That means one must be willing to sacrifice one's life; success means becoming an emperor or a saint, failure means annihilation.
However, Zhu Ming happened to have a Mingguang Seal left to him by Mingguang during the third competition in the lower realm. It symbolized the ruling power of the Golden Crow bloodline, which was enough to temporarily mobilize the yin and yang sundial of the starry sky.
Although a token can briefly activate the star dial, apart from the Azure Emperor, those who can withstand the impact on the consciousness of all living beings when the star dial is activated are extremely rare throughout the Nine Heavens.
Originally, Bitao was one of them, but since Bitao was the "target of everyone's criticism," she had to appear in front of everyone at all times to act as the "bait" to attract everyone's attention.
Fortunately, Bitao also thought of a way to briefly adjust the sundial, which would be enough for Zhu Ming to hold out until the Guixu Decree was issued—that is, to borrow the power of the immortals.
When Zhu Ming leads the low-ranking immortals who were unable to escape during the great battle, they will work together to activate the star dial.
Following the hiding places Bitao showed them, most of them are now hiding under the stardial.
If a drop of ink is placed in a cup, it can turn the water in the cup black.
However, if a drop of ink falls into a river, it will soon be washed away by the river.
Using the power of immortals to disperse the consciousness of all living beings in the star-dial is like using all living beings to fight against all living beings.
Bitao's plans were flawless, but she couldn't predict how many of the immortals hiding under the celestial sundial would still stand by her side and follow Zhu Ming's orders.
The peach blossom is born with both purity and impurity, and understands the evil in human nature best, never having any excessive expectations of people.
However, she had misjudged people's hearts several times. Now, she has ascended to this position of the Supreme Immortal because of her friends, and even because, in her view, her subordinates who had only met her by chance and accompanied her for a while had given their lives to fulfill the wishes of all living beings.
So Bitao will take a gamble.
Bitao bet that the person behind her was arrogant and looked down on the power of these immortals who, during the great battle, could only drift along like ants on a fallen leaf, and did not bring them all under her command.
Even though these little fairies of Bitao are usually chattering on the Milky Way, swaying like reeds in the wind as the competition progresses, they all understand the greater good in times of crisis, upholding the dignity of fairies, setting aside their prejudices, and uniting as one.
If all the little fairies of the Nine Heavens were also the old turtle demon's henchmen... then Bitao really wouldn't be able to contain it.
She must break the Thunder Curse Seal within her body and summon back the Heavenly Dao of All Realms to quell this unprecedented rebellion.
Thank goodness!
The people have never failed her!
As the sundial turned, all the celestial positions stopped moving and stared in astonishment.
On the Six Imperial Platforms of the Heavenly Palace beneath the Milky Way, thousands of lesser immortals sat cross-legged beneath the star-spot, activating their divine spirits and casting their light upon the crimson sky.
Zhu Ming sat at the very front of the formation, gathering the power of the five elements and merging it into the Bright Light Seal suspended in front of him. From there, the Bright Light Seal was channeled into the Starry Sky Rotating Yin-Yang Sundial.
The three officials stood guard beside Zhu Ming, supporting him.
As the gnomon's needle turned, Zhu Ming was overjoyed! It was a success!
His fingers flew into hand seals as he chanted the incantation for the Return to Nothingness Order: "All celestial beings, myriad immortals, heed my decree!"
The little immortals behind him also repeated after Zhu Ming, and for a moment the voices of the immortals resounded throughout the nine heavens: "All the heavenly stars, all the immortals, heed the decree!"
"My spirit is the covenant, the sundial the bridge..."
"My spirit is the covenant, the sundial the bridge..."
"A decree commands all the holy spirits to return to their places in the Heavenly Palace!"
"A decree commands all holy spirits to return to their positions in the Heavenly Palace—"
As the incantation for the Return to Nothingness was cast, the sundial began to rotate again with a roar. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly cleared, revealing a celestial map with 36,500 main stars lighting up simultaneously.
Like a waterfall of spiritual light, it fell from the stars in the sky, transforming into thousands of five-colored spiritual threads in mid-air.
All the immortals still in the Heavenly Realm have sensed the intense stimulation of their spiritual platforms—these spiritual threads are also the threads that weave the Silver River Net, and each thread represents an immortal rank in the Nine Heavens.
The moment the spiritual thread was cast into the celestial sphere and the yin-yang sundial—the Guixu Order was completed!
All the immortals still in the celestial realm, including the Star Gods, received a decree from their spiritual altars. The decree was scorching hot, and the might of Heaven was overwhelming, allowing no disobedience!
All the immortals in the myriad realms instantly sensed the Return to the Void Token on their spiritual platforms.
The immortal who was carrying out his official duties paused, and the ancient god who was in seclusion cultivating in a place rich in spiritual energy suddenly opened his eyes.
Having just returned to the summit of Kunlun Mountain, and with her bottom barely touching the snow, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly tilted her body and looked up at the sky!
Bitao chuckled softly, looking at the three Thunder Emperors in front of her, their faces contorted with rage and astonishment.
He continued to pressure them into action: "Esteemed Thunder Emperors, will you still rebel?"
"If you want to rebel, you'd better hurry up. The Decree of Return to the Void has been issued. Once the gods return to their places... I'll crush you rebellious immortals with a flick of my wrist. You're nothing more than a bunch of ants trying to ride the wind to the heavens."
The old turtle spirit dared to cause the star gods to leave their positions, so Bitao ordered all the gods to return to their places.
Everyone should go home and visit their families.
Let's see who's human and who's a turtle.
She simply couldn't believe that the old turtle demon could turn all the immortals and star gods against their will. If that were the case, why would he need to transfer Qingming and the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Realms?
If he directly declared that he wanted to be the emperor, Qingming would have abdicated the throne even for the sake of peace in all realms.
"...You can actually skillfully use the immortals to manipulate the sundial; you truly are a demon immortal!"
Seeing that the Order of Returning to the Void had been issued and the matter was settled, the Central Thunder Emperor, no matter how anxious and confused he was, and how his face was distorted and changed, dared not lose his composure at this moment.
He gathered wind and thunder in his hand, and purple lightning crackled, transforming into a long sword of lightning, pointing it directly at Bitao: "If a demon immortal like you is allowed to rule the nine heavens in the future, how will the people of all realms ever have a day of peace!"
Bitao sneered, fully on guard. She was used to these old coffin lids, who always had to find a high-sounding reason to justify their actions.
"Then let's see if you have the ability!"
Bitao reached out into the void, and the pink peach blossoms seemed to be scattered by a celestial maiden, surrounding Bitao and instantly piling up into armor, before condensing into a peach wood sword in her palm.
The moment the sword was completed, a mighty gale rose from the sky, and the peach blossom petals fluttered up like the scales of a beast, emitting a chilling "humming" sound.
Bitao is adept at traversing the heavens and the earth, facing life and death without ever wearing armor. She finds armor cumbersome, and even though it can block some heavy blows, she fears that wearing it would prevent her from instinctively and keenly perceiving danger in critical moments.
But... I have to wear it this time.
She is immune to lightning, but weapons formed from lightning can still harm her.
There were three Thunder Emperors on the other side, and who knows how many more Thunder Generals would appear later. She never underestimated her opponents.
Holding a peach wood sword and accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, Bitao charged towards the central Thunder Emperor—taking the initiative!
The immortals around her also drew their weapons and followed her.
As Yang Shen Yu Nan Luo Hui pulled out the Starfall Scimitar from his leg bone, he exclaimed, "Wow! Peach Blossom Armor, Peach Blossom Sword! So beautiful and dashing! And so fragrant!"
Upon hearing this, the Yin Goddess Jade Maiden, who always accompanied him, immediately changed direction and kept a great distance from Luo Hui!
Bitao rushed straight for the central Thunder Emperor, while the immortals attacked the other two Thunder Emperors.
Several fierce immortal spirits collided above the clouds, causing lightning to roar!
Bitao's peach wood sword clashed with the Central Thunder Emperor's Purple Lightning Sword, and two powerful and righteous energies rippled outwards. Bitao was actually somewhat shocked.
The peach wood sword can ward off evil spirits and dispel misfortune, but the Xuanyuan Bone-Illuminating Fire can cleanse sins. As long as there is even the slightest trace of evil or wickedness on this Thunder Emperor, she will surely be able to disarm him in the blink of an eye!
Even though he had already led his troops in rebellion, why was he still able to exude pure and noble energy, without a trace of filth? Lightning was as obedient as a dog in his hands, and in the blink of an eye, he had been locked in a fierce battle with Bitao for no less than a hundred moves!
Both sides could manipulate the laws of heaven and earth. The Thunder Emperor noticed the many subtle movements of the laws during the clash of the Peach Blossoms and the other side and annihilated them with a single blow.
Okay, okay!
No wonder the old turtle spirit was never captured by the Heavenly Dao consciousness. He must have some ability to deceive the heavens and confuse the righteous and evil forces.
However, now that the Guixu Decree has been issued, Bitao is willing to do anything to force him to show himself.
If he doesn't show up soon, once the gods return to their places, he'll really be out of the picture!
Besides, Bitao has the Heavenly Dao of Myriad Realms as her safety net, so what's there to be afraid of!
Bitao's murderous and bloodthirsty nature reached its peak as she rolled along with the swirling clouds, and her attacks became increasingly fierce.
During the continuous exchanges, he feigned being hit, his robes torn beyond recognition, yet he continuously absorbed the pure lightning surging from the Thunder Emperor's weapon, drawing it into his body.
It certainly hurt, but she treated even the celestial spirits of Mingguang like strong liquor; it was nothing more than a drizzle, a mere absorption of spiritual energy from different spiritual attributes.
She clashed her sword against the Thunder Emperor's sword again, smiled contemptuously, stared at the Thunder Emperor's calm and weathered eyes, and said, "Since things have come to this point, why don't you hurry up and let your turtle master show his face? And let your subordinates come up too, wash their necks and lie down properly, I guarantee they'll all die a very good and quick death, how about it?"
Making boastful remarks during a match is definitely not a good habit.
However, if it's done to deliberately provoke the other party, that's a different story.
Lei Di, the central leader, lived a life of strict discipline and self-discipline, and had no idea what "verbal battles" were.
Even if they were preparing to lead the Thunder Department to support a new ruler, it would be a mandate from Heaven.
He has been revered for thousands of years. When has he ever been so humiliated in such a close manner by a brat who is less than three hundred years old?
Moreover, the Heavenly Venerable he serves is not someone that this Fairy Bitao can insult at will!
Enraged by Bi Tao, the Central Thunder Emperor went mad with internal energy. He made a hand seal to summon the essence of raging thunder, accumulating a mass of electric cables, and then unleashed a thunderous hell upon Bi Tao!
Bitao had been waiting for this all-out attack from him. She shifted her feet, seemingly trying to escape the lightning cage, but in reality, with each step she took, she deliberately made him follow the same path she had taken when she fought the Central Thunder Emperor above the clouds!
As the formation was completed, Bitao inserted her peach wood sword into the eye of the cloud formation—the lightning within the formation where Bitao stood was instantly transported outside.
The Central Thunder Emperor's expression hardened.
Countless electric cables stretched out from above the clouds, intertwined and woven like tree roots that had suddenly sprung up from the ground!
Bitao shouted to the immortals, "Push the Northern Thunder King and the Western Thunder King into the thunder formation!"
Bitao was known to all the immortals for her cunning, and they instinctively obeyed her commands upon hearing her words.
The immortals joined forces to push the Northern Thunder King and the Western Thunder King into a thunder array of intertwined lightning chains.
Then Bitao poured out all the thunder spirit that had been accumulated in her body and poured it all into the array eye—causing the thunder array outside the thunder prison where she was located to close, forming a thunder prison exactly the same as the one under her feet!
—They actually imprisoned the Northern Thunder King and the Western Thunder King!
When the other Thunder Prison closed, the Thunder Prison where Bitao was located naturally dissipated.
Bitao smiled and looked at the Central Thunder Emperor, whose expression was filled with astonishment, and said, "You flatter me. It's just a little trick. It's one of my favorite formations."
—The Spirit Transfer Array.
As long as you have the ability and are well prepared.
Just like when the second competition eventually turned into the Bridge of Reincarnation—Bitao personally verified that the Spirit Transfer Array can transfer all the spiritual energy in the world, even souls, let alone a Thunder Prison.
The immortals were also stunned speechless by Bitao's excessively bizarre methods.
So, were the big fight between Bitao and Central Thunder Emperor, which they were making all over the clouds, just a game of walking a "dog" around?
Oh no, it's forming an array in secret!
Bitao also praised the Central Thunder Emperor, saying, "I knew that as the leader of the Thunder Department's rebellion, the Central Thunder Emperor's control over thunder and lightning must be extraordinary. I guessed that you must have a way to punish them, otherwise how could you command the Thunder Generals? You are indeed amazing! You have controlled both the Northern Thunder Emperor and the Western Thunder Emperor in one go!"
"If I remember correctly, the three Thunder Emperors are of equal rank, right?"
These words can be described as sowing discord and destroying one's will.
Moreover, is it possible for a normal person to come up with the idea of using their own spear to attack their own shield, and using the Thunder Emperor's Thunder Prison to imprison a Thunder Emperor of the same level?
The immortals were all filled with admiration as they looked at Bitao; Luohui's eyes were even brighter than the main star on the celestial map at that moment.
The Northern Thunder Emperor and the Western Thunder Emperor, who have been accompanied by thunder for thousands of years, never expected that they would be trapped in the Thunder Prison today.
Unable to break free after several attempts, he roared towards the direction of the Central Thunder Emperor, "What are you doing? Let us go!"
They were completely unaware that the Thunder Emperor of the Central Yellow Heaven Collapse had also left them a backup plan!
As expected, the Celestial Venerable valued him the most!
Before the Central Thunder Emperor could react, Bitao turned around and said to the Northern and Western Thunder Emperors in a flippant tone, "You can't let go... You're currently in my cage. Although I moved the Central Thunder Emperor's Thunder Prison to use this cage, now that it's in my hands, if he can still release you, wouldn't that make me, this Grand Immortal, seem incredibly incompetent?"
As soon as Bitao finished speaking, a ghostly green glow appeared in the cage formed by lightning and lightning, instantly condensing into fluttering peach petals.
In an instant, the clouds above were filled with vibrant colors and a delicate fragrance.
The peach blossom armor on Bitao's body had somehow disappeared into the relocated lightning prison.
As the petals fell on the Northern Thunder Emperor and the Western Thunder Emperor, they couldn't help but hiss as their robes and skin were torn in many small holes.
They quickly frowned and tried to dodge, but unfortunately, the peach petals had already gathered like rain, making it impossible to avoid.
As Bitao smiled radiantly, the petals of Bitao in the Thunder Prison seemed to be blown by a long wind, swirling around the two Thunder Emperors.
With this turn, a chilling and ferocious aura suddenly spread out—
Only then did everyone realize that this was not some fancy trick to confuse people, but Bitao's ultimate skill - Thousand Cuts!
She showed no mercy whatsoever, slaughtering these two Thunder Emperors as casually as if they were pigs or dogs, intending to cut them into a thousand pieces and imprison them in the Thunder Prison!
"You!" The Central Thunder Emperor's eyes widened in shock.
"You defying immortal!"
Bitao raised an eyebrow, smiling as she stared intently at the Central Thunder Emperor: "Why are you turning the tables on me?"
"Fine, I won't argue with a dead man."
As Bitao spoke, she launched another attack with her sword. This time, the fierce and violent Wood Spirit Mountain Roar and Tsunami was a far cry from the gentle and defensive moves of the past. It was even more ferocious than the Golden Fire Spirit!
Bitao's wood spirit has never been good at self-healing; her wood spirit is just as sharp and unstoppable as her master!
As soon as Bi Tao moved, the other immortals also activated their spiritual energy to assist her. The Central Thunder Emperor hurriedly used lightning to defend against it, but he was no match for the combined attack of several high-level immortal spirits.
He staggered back several steps, a metallic taste rising in his throat. Unable to swallow in time, he coughed so hard that his robes were speckled with blood.
The two Thunder Emperors trapped in the Thunder Prison were in a dilemma, with no way to escape to heaven. They were both stripped of their bones and flesh, and their blood splattered into the clouds along with that of the Central Thunder Emperor.
Hearing the cries of pain from the immortal, the Central Thunder Emperor gritted his teeth and wiped the blood from his lips. Suddenly, he heard something, turned his head to look, and then finally laughed.
The time has come!
He looked at Bitao and said, "Bitao, you who defied the immortals, have brought this upon yourself. May you be punished by heaven and earth, and be condemned by both gods and men!"
Bitao instinctively retorted: "You call me a rebellious immortal one minute and a demon immortal the next, I'll just take that as a compliment to my ever-changing nature."
As the immortals followed the gaze of the Central Thunder Emperor, they saw countless tiny white dots flying swiftly toward them from afar in the sky above the Juntian Heaven.
Before they even got close, their imposing and sharp aura had already spread throughout the heavens—it was the Kunlun sword cultivators led by the Queen Mother of the West!
Has the Queen Mother of the West finally revealed her true colors?!
Bitao's pupils trembled slightly.
The immortals beside them also saw the Queen Mother of the West arriving with the Kunlun sword cultivators. The Thunder Kings, who were powerless to fight back under the Thunder Emperor's crushing power, immediately exclaimed with joy, "It's the Queen Mother of the West and the Kunlun sword cultivators who have come to help us!"
Bitao Xin said the exact opposite.
But now that the Queen Mother of the West has rebelled, could she seize the opportunity to detonate the lightning rune within her body and summon the Heavenly Dao of all realms to return to its rightful place and deal with Kunlun?
Before the Queen Mother of the West and her entourage could even get close, the clouds above began to churn. The Thunder Emperor in the center had finally met his "master" and summoned all the Thunder Generals hidden beneath the clouds to the top of the clouds.
The clouds subsided, and the Thunder Gods and the Dharma Protectors who summoned clouds and rain appeared in the clouds.
Bitao glanced over and a secret joy flashed through her heart; the rebellious Lei Jiang was not as many as she had imagined.
Bitao was not afraid of lightning and had already figured out how to deal with the lightning general.
The entire cloud layer is now covered with the spirit-shifting array she set up during the battle. She only needs to continue to use her own spear against her own shield—once these Kunlun sword cultivators land on the cloud layer, Bitao will use the attack moves of the Thunder Department generals to kill the Kunlun sword cultivators.
You should know that every sword cultivator wields a three-foot-long sword. The higher their cultivation level, the more they reach the state of oneness with heaven and man, and the faster they will be struck by lightning!
The countless sword cultivators in the sky had now become, in her eyes, foolish pillars struck by lightning.
Bitao mentally estimated how long she and the other immortals could hold out against these sword cultivators.
At the same time, Bitao quickly retreated and directed the immortals to take their positions according to the spirit-shifting formation.
The group of thunder generals who had ascended into the clouds had gathered around the Thunder Emperor, who was directing them to quickly form an array. The guardian celestial masters, responsible for controlling the clouds and rain and assisting in directing the lightning strikes, also joined forces—
The sky was once again shrouded in dark clouds, obscuring the twinkling stars. A foul wind swirled around the heavens, and lightning illuminated everything between heaven and earth!
Soon, lightning cascaded down like a waterfall, gathering at the top of the sky before suddenly crashing down again—
Bitao and the others were enveloped in blinding lightning. Bitao herself stood at the largest eye of the spirit-shifting array, waiting to use her body to absorb the lightning and deflect the strike.
However, only a small portion of the lightning struck.
Most of the lightning bolts swept across the sky, striking the sword cultivators led by the Queen Mother of the West, who had instantly arrived nearby.
Oh no!
Amidst the sky filled with lightning, the Central Thunder Emperor turned back and gave Bi Tao a contemptuous smile. He had completely given up on rescuing the Western Thunder Emperor and the Northern Thunder Emperor, and instead played a feint attack!
Bitao's scalp tightened instantly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed it—she had miscalculated.
She was misled by the fact that the Central Thunder Emperor waited until the Queen Mother of the West appeared before mobilizing the hidden Thunder Generals—or rather, Bitao was misled by the schemes of the person behind the scenes.
The Queen Mother of the West and the Kunlun sword cultivators were not the old turtle demon behind the scenes, but were tricked into appearing by the old turtle demon and summoned to aid the Nine Heavens by Bitao's Return to the Void Order.
Just two days later, Bitao once again clashed with the person behind her from afar. After being slapped by him for killing Jing Haiwang in person, she was "hit" with a rude awakening.
Now that the Queen Mother of the West has received the Order of Returning to the Void, she is completely unaware of the situation. Seeing the thunder generals gathering above the clouds, she naturally assumes they are her own people and is completely unprepared.
The group of sword cultivators who came with great momentum had already turned into... a bunch of silly pillars holding swords to catch lightning, just as Bitao had predicted, before they even got close to the clouds.
It was obvious that the old turtle spirit and Bitao thought the same thing: lightning strikes were the most effective way to deal with sword cultivators.
The opportunity that the Central Thunder Emperor was waiting for was the arrival of the Queen Mother of the West's reinforcements.
It's all messed up.
Complete chaos.
As Bitao gazed at the scene of thunder and lightning raging across the sky, she realized that she had ultimately made a mistake.
She immediately activated the spirit-shifting array beneath her feet, transferring the collected lightning directly to the feet of the lightning generals.
However, the Central Thunder Emperor was already prepared for this tactic of repeating itself.
He stood amidst the thunder generals, drawing upon the divine lightning from the Nine Heavens and the thunder palace that the peach blossoms had been transferred to strike them together. With a deafening roar, the thunder generals were completely unharmed.
When the Queen Mother of the West received the order to return to the void, she dispatched her generals to protect the world. However, halfway there, she discovered that her subordinates had been "used as lanterns and set on fire" by the subordinates of her former colleagues, and she was immediately enraged.
When the goddess is angry, mountains collapse and seas overturn.
The Queen Mother of the West, confused about the current situation, simply began to gather sword cultivators to form an array. Ten thousand Ling Shuang Han swords gathered in mid-air and indiscriminately attacked the clouds—directly unleashing a Thousand Swords and a Thousand Edges attack on all the immortals above the clouds!
—You all better die first!
The Kunlun sword cultivators have spent years sleeping in snow and frost, their souls forged in ice, and their chilling sharpness is something even the Eastern King Duke fears.
So many sword cultivators formed a battle formation and attacked together, led by the ancient goddess Xi Wangmu, unleashing a single move—Heaven Collapses and Earth Shatters!
Bitao was slashed by the chilling sword energy, her entire body was cut in the blink of an eye, and even breathing felt like being cut by a knife.
Fortunately, she was a Grand Immortal, otherwise she would have died instantly from the knives and shreds of others!
It's too late to explain to the Queen Mother of the West now—those who stand above the clouds with this group of thunder generals are probably all considered rebellious immortals in her eyes.
In the nick of time, Bitao only had time to forcefully activate the Spirit Transfer Array again, "wrapping" herself and the immortals standing in the array who were powerless to fight back under the sky full of sword blades, and throwing them down into the clouds.
However, just before Bitao transformed into a spirit and fell with the formation, she glanced at the battle above the clouds and discovered that Lei Jiang, who had attacked the Kunlun sword cultivators, was still unharmed despite the countless sharp swords flying around.
Above their heads was a formation of spiritual light, which enveloped all the lightning generals and the guardian deities.
It is a star orbit array.
That damn bastard, here he comes again!
Bitao and a group of immortals fell in disarray onto the ruined road of the Immortal Capital. Before they could even get up, they had already recognized who had created the star trail!
Beside Bitao, the two immortals from the Dou Department exclaimed in unison, "Isn't that the Heavenly Gang Star?!"
That's right.
The thirty-six Heavenly Star Gods stood before the generals of the Thunder Department. The Heavenly Star Orbit Formation, airtight, blocked all the Kunlun sword cultivators' earth-shattering sword blades from entering the formation.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars have also rebelled.
With them protecting Lei Jiang and the Dharma Protectors, no wonder Bi Tao and the others could not see through their disguise even when they looked directly into the Eye of Heaven and Earth.
The Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, the Great God of the Central Heaven, wherever the Heavenly Dipper points, all evil is destroyed. ①
Among all the stars in the heavens and earth, the celestial stars are often the most benevolent, willing to lend their stellar power to the cultivators of all realms who practice the Heavenly Steps and Strike, drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Stars to vanquish evil and slay demons.
How could the Heavenly Gang Star possibly rebel?
The celestial stars could not possibly protect an evil and rebellious immortal!
Who is behind this?
At this moment, Bitao even felt a sense of helplessness when faced with natural disasters that only mortals experience.
Could it be that a god, born by divine mandate, is surrounded by stars and supported by gods, and will eventually be pushed to the highest position in the heavens, causing a change in the world?
But... but everything in the world goes through cycles, and it is true that prosperity must eventually decline, and decline must eventually lead to prosperity.
But Bitao could accept the changing times and the vicissitudes of life, and she could accept that one day she would perish in the mortal world after attaining immortality. However, she could not accept that when the "heavenly changes" occurred, there would be no warning at all!
We cannot accept the collapse of the building, nor can we allow the celestial beings to escape death!
New heavenly rules have been issued, and the immortals are preparing to experience the eight sufferings and nine poisons of humanity, clearly beginning to listen to the voices of the common people.
Even if the will of Heaven has never favored anyone, it should at least be fair and just, and shouldn't deny them even a chance to make amends, right?
No.
wrong!
That's not right!
Even she was shaken and disoriented, losing her mind and will; this Heavenly Star Orbit Array has a hallucinogenic effect!
Bitao immediately bit her tongue, drawing out her heart's blood. She raised her hands to form a hand seal, her voice carrying the spirit of her blood, and spoke to break the barrier for the immortals: "Supreme Star Platform, respond without ceasing, expel evil and bind demons, protect life and body..."
The protective spell was inherited from the ancient gods. Bitao's immortal blood was like a sharp longsword, piercing through the dense fog of the heavens.
The immortals snapped back to their senses in shock, especially the Kunlun sword cultivators who had almost been slaughtered during the battle. They had always been proud and self-assured, having proven their Dao with an icy heart and unwavering resolve. Now, however, they were bewitched by their fellow immortals and were enraged beyond measure!
Under the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West, fearless of the thunder and lightning dragons filling the sky, they changed their sword formations, summoning the snowstorms and fierce winds of the Nine Heavens, and the biting winds choked their throats—thousands of swords condensed into a giant sword in mid-air, carrying the ultimate punishment, which was then grasped by the Queen Mother of the West in mid-air!
The Eastern King Duke, who was confronting the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Star Gods, sensed the thunderous rage, turned around, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Who has angered this living ancestor?"
"Hiss! Isn't that the Celestial Stars?"
He turned and asked the White Tiger Star God.
The White Tiger Star God, having been torn to shreds by the vengeful Zhan Kui, naturally had no mood to answer the Eastern King Duke's words.
Dongwanggong then said, "The Heavenly Stars have all returned... Why don't we stop fighting?"
"Yes, stop fighting." Bitao and the other immortals she had transported down from the clouds flew to the side of Dongwanggong.
Bitao chimed in, "Just bring out the monarch you support and let us see. If he is virtuous and capable enough to hold the position, I'm sure the Azure Emperor would be happy to give up the position of the one who pulls the most millstones!"
The Eastern King burst into laughter.
The White Tiger constellation god grinned and clenched his teeth, his eyes gleaming like a wolf's.
Bitao and the others said "We're not fighting anymore," but they all looked like they had been slashed and wounded by the Queen Mother of the West's sword and were too weak to fight anymore.
However, as soon as they arrived at the Eastern King Duke's side, they immediately joined forces to activate their spiritual energy, injecting powerful immortal spirits into the formation that the Eastern King Duke was supporting.
The delicate balance was broken, and cracks appeared in the star orbit array that the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird were struggling to maintain.
At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West seized the colossal sword that could split the heavens and earth, unleashing a fierce heavenly punishment, and slashed it down upon the Heavenly Star Orbit Array—
"Crack—" A crisp, cracking sound that made one's teeth ache and bones itch resounded through the sky.
The immortals of Kunlun had their spiritual essence completely drained by this giant sword. They would rather bleed from their seven orifices and consume their immortal energy than retreat even half a step!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth.
The Queen Mother of the West cleaved the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Formation in two.
The ancient martial gods were truly not deceiving me!
Bitao and the others joined forces to shatter the star orbit array of the White Tiger Star God and the Vermilion Bird Star God.
After the formation was broken, Zhan Kui was the first to rush towards the White Tiger Star Lord, who was spitting blood, with a "howl".
Bitao turned her head to look at the Kunlun sword cultivators falling like stars in the rain, but countless white dots kept coming from the direction of the Juntian Water Bridge. The Queen Mother of the West's giant sword swept across, and even the Heavenly Gang Star God had to avoid its sharp edge.
Wave after wave of sword strikes slashed, changing the color of the sky and earth. The dark clouds that had been gathering for a long time failed to bring down a torrential downpour, but instead brought down a heavy snowfall.
The celestial bodies are out of sync, yin and yang are reversed, and the seasons of Juntian are thrown into chaos by the war of the gods, plunging straight from the height of summer into the depths of winter!

When he finally peeked out, he saw a scene darker than the underworld, with ruins everywhere, a raging wind, and snow-covered landscape. He thought he had set up his barrier in the wrong place!
"Huh? This..."
The Earthly Fiend King behind him, who had never been to the Heavenly Realm in his entire life, finally got a legitimate opportunity to ascend to Heaven. Disregarding any imperial authority, he was the first to squeeze past the Fengdu Emperor and climb out.
