Chapter 782: Chapter 623: The Heavenly Official’s Fury, The Battle Between Good and Evil

Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, the sun and moon lacked light, and all was pitch black as if the end of days had arrived.

The already chaotically clashing Thirty-Three Heavens pressed against each other, flesh churning and pus flowing everywhere.

With deadly Fine Worms within, the fierce wind howled as it arrived and departed, corroding any existence daring to step out of the protective Immortal Light into a stinking black liquid instantly.

What horrified the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Southern Heavenly Gate even more was this.

A towering ’mountain ridge’ made of flesh, Scale Armor, rocks . . . was like a rough file grinding back and forth on the body of the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm.

It emitted a ’sizzling . . . sizzling . . .’ sound that was so dreadful it made one’s teeth sour.

Even with ample confidence in the outermost Great Red Heaven Realm, they couldn’t help but tremble with fear, worried that one careless move would turn them into minced meat.

Only those Sages in the array who had their own Heavens and Earth dared to secretly open their Dharma Eye.

They faintly made out the sight of that long, pitch-black body resembling a dragon’s, sprawling a hundred miles away, with a monstrous head likened to a deer with hooves.

Atop the chaotically horned deer’s head was a Pingtian Crown adorned with beautiful gems and jades.

The crown’s shape was exactly like the one worn by Huang Qiu Lord, only it had turned from a filthy, dull yellow to inky black.

With a deer’s head and a dragon’s body, this was the true form of the Cang God, the Primordial Spirit of the Grey Deer Taoist Lord!

"Even the Undying Primordial Spirit has come! Quick, prepare the Two Yi Micro Dust Cannon . . ."

Hum—!

A deep humming sound, and the entire Southern Heavenly Gate Array thunderously shifted formation.

Countless cannons, hundreds of feet long and made of numerous Runes, protruded from the array like an abruptly bristled porcupine, swiftly emerging.

"Qian position ready!"

"Kun position ready!"

". . ."

The Sages defending the array responded one after another.

In a state of war, aside from the stationed Corpse Dissection Immortals, the Southern Heavenly Gate Array needed at least eight Green Seal Sages to hold their positions in order to exert its basic might.

Now, with forces drawn from all over, they had gathered nineteen Sages representing the Two Yi, Four Symbols, Five Phases, and Eight Diagrams, achieving peak strength.

Even Wang Yuan had sent up the Ghost Baby of the Earth Official to support the formation while not forgetting to mind Long Lingwei and Long Yunchu.

"Fire the cannons!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! . . .

With a Purple Seal Realm No-Life Fruit as the core, the sky-high cannon fire blasted the Grey Deer Taoist Lord to shreds.

However, it was difficult to harm the essential nature of this Undying Primordial Spirit.

Let alone taking away one of Its lives and exploiting Its weakness during resurrection for the other two Taoist Lords to strike.

To utterly kill an Undying Primordial Spirit, the only way was to let another Immortal on a similar path devour It.

The Cang God with eyes red as blood didn’t even flinch, and every inch of flesh on Its body began to chant:

"Three realms and ten directions, Infinite God King, Great Incarnation Unlimited. Xiyi Xiyi, unifying with the Dao as genuine. Hurry, hurry like my heart desires, seal the command with the Imperial Decree!"

The dragon-shaped body suddenly transfigured into a straight line, then instantly expanded infinitely, becoming a gigantic pupil that occupied the entire sky.

The Two Yi Micro Dust Cannon, which had somewhat of a harassing effect a moment ago, failed to spark even a single speck upon landing in the unfathomably deep pupil.

The Cang God represented the boundlessness of heaven.

It was like fighting It through an ’∞’; once Its Power was activated, those of a lower realm could not harm It in the slightest.

Suddenly, deep within Its gaze, a flash of Immortal Light appeared, and a force of immense suction abruptly fell upon the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Many lower-ranking Heavenly People who did not stand in the proper positions managed only to scream in horror before they stumbled out of the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm, vanishing in the blink of an eye without a trace.

With the Ghost Baby’s care, Long Lingwei and Long Yunchu were naturally unharmed.

Yet subconsciously, they stepped closer to this Star Lord Taibai, who treated them even better than his own children.

Grateful in their hearts, they almost couldn’t help themselves from kneeling on the spot and saying,

"We heard you don’t have children of your own, and our parents passed away early. If you don’t mind, we’d like to take care of you in your old age."

Wang Yuan, with nothing specific to do, certainly wouldn’t pry into their thoughts, as he was preoccupied with pondering the root cause of this vicious battle.

In fact, the chain reaction from Emperor Shi’s ascension had been fermenting all along.

Perhaps the birth of a lone Registering Immortal wasn’t enough to touch the sensitive nerves of all the Heavenly Officials.

But coupled with the increasingly violent Human Dao Torrent in the Mortal World achieving a qualitative change, as well as the Dragon Energy that spiked madly every day, they couldn’t help but sense a crisis looming.

With the double swords combined, the subsequent ascension of Human Immortals was feared to sprout incessantly like mushrooms after a rain.

There was no need to wait for the next turmoil which may come after three or even five hundred years; a significant inverse in combat power might soon confront them.

More so,

For thousands of years, a normal All Living Beings Tribulation of Five Virtues cycle would typically last a dozen years, or even decades, a hundred years at most.

During this period, four-fifths or even more of the population, after passing through the food chain, would become fodder for the Killing Tree.

Allowing it to bear new No-Life Fruits, while also creating a brand new Purple Seal Heavenly Official, or even an Undying Primordial Spirit!

But this time, the chaos lasted for too short a time, far too brief, not even amounting to two years in total.

Even though in the eyes of the Human Clan, they had already suffered heavy losses, to the Heavenly Officials, it hardly qualified as a warm-up.

Now, Wang Yuan’s meddling had spoiled their plan.

It wasn’t just those Heavenly Officials, but even the Killing Tree itself was emitting hysterical shrieking whispers with every branch.

For a time, all the Heavenly Officials, Sage Immortals, Weird, and Demons hanging on its branches were being driven mad by the demonic incantations, gradually losing their sanity and going berserk.
