Chapter 193 Ziwei Great Emperor

Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Ziwei Great Emperor

The appearance of the white skeletal hand imprisoned space-time, causing a stir of unstoppable terror among the immortals as if they had encountered their natural predator.

However, the intervention of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord reassured them.

The Tai Chi Diagram, an innate treasure, transformed from the backside of the celestial axe that opened the heavens; it contained the ultimate principles of yin and yang, capable of quelling earth, fire, water, wind, and possessed the power to suppress and defend.

The immense black and white Tai Chi Diagram blocked the probing white skeletal hand emerging from the vortex passage, its erupted might causing the endless void to collapse and shatter.

In the end, the Heavenly Court still stood, and the immortals were spared from disaster.

"Not enough, this is far from enough!" Moluo roared, unwilling to accept the outcome.

Yet the white skeletal hand retreated after a single strike, sweeping across the boundless void and casually scooping up Moluo, Demon King Shiva, and Demon General Lutuoluo, all reduced to remnants, into its grasp before slowly drawing back, preparing to leave the Three Realms.

"Hmph!" Bo Yikao, who had not been immobilized, snorted coldly; his body turned into darkness, like a shadow, slipping through the dark domains in the void and latching onto the shadow of the white skeletal hand.

And all this happened in an instant.

It was only after the white skeletal hand had left the Three Realms through the vortex passage and disappeared that the Tai Chi Diagram shattered the passage and calmed the riotous void.

The Rune Formation and the Abyssal Black Hole high in the sky also faded into invisibility.

At the same time, the immobilized space-time returned to normal.

The immortals felt as if they had survived a calamity. Had the Tai Chi Diagram not blocked that white skeletal hand, they did not know how many of them would have fallen.

"Huh, it just left like that?" Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, feeling that the end came too abruptly.

Moluo had plotted for many years, regrouping after the fall of the North Sea lands, rallying eighty-four thousand demon soldiers to attack the Heavenly Court.

It was said to be in order to break the Heavenly Cave sealed by Lady Nuwa, but the arrival of a white skeletal hand that did nothing before taking away several mighty demons felt anticlimactic.

Was it to offer the lives of eighty-four thousand demon soldiers for nothing?

Sun Wukong understood that the master of the white skeletal hand definitely had a purpose!

But because he had suddenly broken the Four-Element Extending Realm Array, freeing the immortals, Moluo did not have the time to break open the Heavenly Cave, and so the purpose remained unfulfilled.

What made him even more suspicious was that the weird aura emanating from the white skeletal hand was very familiar to him!

After concluding the investigation of the Heavenly Weapons embezzlement case, he received a drop of Luo Tian Soul Liquid as a reward for his suggestion, the same liquid used by the Dirt-Cloak Bo Yikao to poison Wood Treasury Star Lord Deng Hua, and Bai He to poison the Dirt-Cloak; that black droplet emitted the same sinister aura!

So, was the poison capable of killing Daluo Golden Immortals originating from the owner of the white skeletal hand?

By then, the infinite void had returned to calm, and after the immortals eradicated all demon soldiers, they all returned to the Jade Pool.

Sun Wukong temporarily set aside his suspicions and followed them back.

The originally lively Peach Banquet could no longer continue as before, the atmosphere heavy.

The immortals’ spirits were low; even though the demon soldiers were wiped out, many of them had fallen.

Now, they couldn’t help but wonder who had caused this catastrophe?

The demon cult was certainly to blame first and foremost, but what about the rest?

If the Heavenly Stars, Earthly Fiends, and Celestial River Navy were all at the Heavenly Court, would they have allowed the demon cult to run rampant?

Zhao Gongming’s words also echoed in the immortals’ minds, breeding dissatisfaction with the Chan Teaching.

Furthermore, how could Zi Wei Great Emperor Bo Yikao, who had always been aligned with the Chan Teaching, turn out to be a member of the demon cult?

Could it be that the Chan Teaching was indeed colluding with the demon cult?

Suspicious feelings began to arise.

The Southern Extremity Longevity Star noticed all of this, his expression less than pleased, yet he had no way to refute it.

After all, it was indeed their Sect of Chan Teaching that had arranged for the Diabolic Divisions to go down to the lower realm, beginning with petitions from Immortal Officers and Divine Generals, followed by personal intervention from three of the Four Imperial Great Emperors, the purpose of which was all too obvious.

"Elder brother, what should we do now?" Guang Chengzi asked through clenched teeth, a hateful glare flashing across his eyes as it swept over Sun Wukong.

He had just slain his evil corpse, and his cultivation had just reached the mid-stage of a Quasi-Saint!

He hadn’t even made a move before he was sneak-attacked by Bo Yikao, which caused his cultivation to drop back to the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal!

What made him resentful was that from the arrow Sun Wukong had shot early on, it seemed as if the monkey had already detected a problem with Bo Yikao.

But Sun Wukong had just let Bo Yikao attack him!

Moreover, when everyone was at a loss, how did Sun Wukong know how to break the array barrier that imprisoned all the immortals?

There must be a problem here!

Yet it was as if the Southern Extremity Longevity Star hadn’t heard Guang Chengzi’s question.

This senior disciple of the Chan Teaching Saint, with a stern face, glanced around and realized that both the Sect of Interception’s Jin Ling Saint Mother and Zhao Gongming seemed to be waiting for something, even the Buddha Sect’s Bodhisattva Guanyin and Jia Ye, the Supreme One, were looking their way, intentionally or otherwise.

Clearly, they were all waiting for him to make his move.

But once he acted, the situation would be completely out of the Chan Teaching’s control.

Therefore, he could only restrain himself!

The Jade Emperor sat high above the Jade Pool, his visage commanding as he observed all of this and after waiting a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Today’s calamity was averted thanks to the collective efforts of all immortals who bravely repelled the invading foes.

Heavenly Court rewards meritorious deeds, and all who have slain the enemies of the demonic teachings today shall be granted rewards."

All immortals quickly bowed in thanks, their spirits lifted somewhat.

Many immortals who had not received the rewards of the peaches of immortality now had renewed hope.

Even though the rewards might not necessarily be the peaches, there was still hope; accumulate enough merits, and wouldn’t they have it eventually?

The Jade Emperor spoke again, with authority in his voice, "Merit will be rewarded, but transgressions will be punished. Today’s crisis included not just external enemies but also traitors within,

Bo Yikao, the Central Heavenly North Pole Purple Tenuity Emperor, who abandoned contemplation of prosperity for this world and instead joined the demonic path, allying with demons, should be stripped of his divine title of Purple Tenuity Emperor and be deemed an enemy of all Three Realms, to be executed on sight by all parties!"

The immortals felt a righteous chill and found the decree immensely satisfying.

Yet there were those who quaked with terror, like Ji Shuqian, Lord of the Noble Star, and other nobles surnamed Ji who had been divinely enthroned, all flashing signs of trepidation.

Bo Yikao had been their eldest brother, previously their greatest mainstay in the Heavenly Court that granted them an extraordinary status.

Now, not only was their mainstay gone, but he had also fallen into the demonic path!

Only Hook Chen Great Emperor Lei Zhenzi showed no concern, merely sighing softly as he continued to remain silent.

This was not yet the end.

The Jade Emperor’s gaze finally rested on Sun Wukong, and he decreed with dignity, "Today, fortunately, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the North Pole Celestial Honor, was the first to act, breaking the formation and freeing all immortals, sparing Heavenly Court from catastrophe,

Such a meritorious deed stands foremost among all immortals, therefore he shall be specially promoted to the Central Heavenly North Pole Purple Tenuity Great Emperor, with the authority to govern all stars above, wield all laws in the middle realm, and reign over the City of the Dead below.

Do any among the assembly of immortals have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, all immortals were astonished, their gazes turning towards Sun Wukong.

That lean figure, now enveloped by the intangible fortune of the Heavenly Dao, carried an imposing aura that compelled an involuntary reverence.

The Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s expression turned exceedingly grim. Following the recent demonic assault, he was unable to voice any objections and had to yield to the Jade Emperor’s decree, surrendering the critical divine position of the Purple Tenuity Great Emperor!
