Chapter 783: Chapter 623 Heavenly Official’s Fury, The Clash of Good and Evil_2

In these days, the Grey Deer Taoist Lord was not the first one.

Whoosh!

A clear and piercing Immortal Light shot out from the palace of the Great Red Heaven Realm and transformed into an old man in midair, with the appearance of an immortal, his white hair signifying his daoist wisdom.

His hands performed the Sealing Technique, and he suddenly pounced toward that gigantic eye.

Clad in a dark-hued Eight Diagrams Robe and holding a horsetail whisk, with three solid yang lines on the left representing the Qian Trigram and three broken yin lines on the right representing the Kun Trigram engraved in his eyebrows—he was the embodiment of [Eyebrows Bearing the Universe].

It was none other than the Undying Primordial Spirit, Taishang, the guardian of the Great Red Heaven Realm.

Suddenly, his body dissipated, transforming into an invisible and formless aura of vastness, without beginning nor end.

The [Yin Yang Primordial Spirit] had unleashed its full power.

His [Immortal Law·Yin Yang Transformation], represented Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, oddness and evenness, hardness and softness, the mysterious and the yellow, Qian and Kun, Spring and Autumn, change and constancy...

The colorful clouds above the Heavenly Gate immediately mutated, giving birth to countless fierce mouths filled with sharp teeth.

Dragons, tigers, jackals, wolves, leopards...from all corners of the world, everything inclusive, were all bloodthirsty beasts with sizes comparable to mountains.

Together, they chanted:

"Primordial Qi is boundless, yet life takes on a name; Primordial Qi encompasses all, spurring the creation of diverse beings. Enveloping all, formless, it is called the Primordial Qi; dwelling separately and having shape, myriad names are recognized..."

In just an instant, the clouds and mist above the Heavenly Gate were assimilated by Taishang’s [Yin Yang Primordial Spirit], becoming a part of his body, and fiercely pressed down upon the Cang God.

[Immortal Law·Boundless Cang Heaven] could be ethereal or solid, hopeful or ruins; [Immortal Law·Yin Yang Transformation] could be long or short, large or small.

In the blink of an eye, Primordial Qi formed beasts ferociously tore apart the body of the Cang God; another blink, and the Heavenly Official had already regenerated as before, even reversing the flow to absorb the Primordial Qi away.

One moment, the Cang God had swallowed Taishang; the next, the earth-shattering Taishang was breaking the heavens and bursting forth.

An equal match met with worthy talent.

Although it was just a battle between two Undying Primordial Spirits, it was fought so fiercely that even the dome of the sky trembled violently.

Outside the battle group, more beings from the Heavenly Realm drew close as well.

Even though the [Heavenly Officials] assumed human form, they can, like [Daoism Transformation Disaster], be regarded as a group of living "natural phenomena."

Regardless of being Weird, Deceit Object, strange immortals, Heavenly Officials, the thirty-three heavens, Daoism Transformation Disaster...even the [Killing Tree].

Essentially, they are not much different in nature, it is just a matter of higher or lower degrees of activation.

No matter how many traces of humanity the Killing Tree devours from the Mortal World to balance its deceitful nature, these quirky things in the sky are still a bunch of lunatics.

The Killing Tree suddenly running amok caused the others to descend into madness as well.

The Grey Deer Taoist Lord joined the fray bare-chested, along with the Fangzhang Corpse King, Swallowing Star Heavenly Dog, and Burning Incense Heavenly Elder, all from the same divine system, swarming forward.

Several Corpse Dissection Immortals who were on duty at the South Heavenly Gate also immediately transformed into long rainbows to meet the charge.

Lord Ma, Yushiqie, Duke Bingling, and the last was clad in engraved golden black armor, with a crimson cape, wielding the Tai’a Sword—it was Emperor Shi!

He was the possessor of the first exclusive Heavenly Department Divine Position he received after joining the Nine Soldiers—the one of the three Emperors Exorcising Devils, the Saint Guardian True Monarch.

Behind him, eighty thousand Soldier Terracotta activated the [Ten Thousand Enemies Skill·Sword Deciding the Clouds Formation], boosting the Human Immortal’s combat strength to the extreme limit of the [Immortality Dao Fruit] realm.

The Military Aura took shape, Nine Dragons United, unbeatable by anyone below the Primordial Spirit!

"Kill—!"

All the Immortals coordinated with the Southern Heavenly Gate Array, fighting from daylight to dark, and from dark back to daylight.

No matter how frenzied, the Heavenly Officials still retained a shred of sanity, not daring to truly fight to the death, and when they couldn’t gain an advantage, they slowly retreated.

Facing a group of madmen who were especially painful to fight against, the four Immortals did not have an overwhelming power to kill.

Naturally, they did not dare to pursue beyond the gate and likewise retreated back to the South Heavenly Gate.

Completing the rotation with the second team of colleagues.

They were succeeded by another Undying Primordial Spirit realm figure, the East King, leading Cloud Lord, Great Fate, Victorious Fighting King, Marquis of Wind.

Following them was the third wave of forces, led by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, in case the Thirty Three Heavenly Gods initiated a rotational battle.

However, when Emperor Shi, who had stepped down from the front lines, saw the Wushan Divine Woman standing at the very end, his complexion turned slightly greenish.

His face fluctuating between green and white, but in the end, he could only let out a deep sigh seemingly laden with a myriad of emotions.

His face held such an expressive look that Wang Yuan, who had been closely observing Emperor Shi, clearly understood the drama unfolding within his heart:

I must have miscalculated, for no matter how I turn, it feels like a fishbone in my throat, hence I couldn’t help but deep sigh deeply.

This sadness had no origin; I looked dismally at the two pots above my head, no, two divine positions—one was mine, and the other was also mine.

Since becoming an immortal, I’ve always felt a chill in the breeze, probably because the leaves had withered, after all, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.

Standing among these scattered immortals, I felt somewhat lonely, already tired of that solitary existence also wearying of the coldness from the heights.

Now, even a thousand words could only culminate in one sentence, "You have all really done me in!"

Before his immortal ascension, Emperor Shi always thought that by becoming the Mysterious Vault God, he could be the last straw that broke the camel’s back, easily flattening the Heavenly Officials.

After all, every cultivator in the mortal world knows: my Nine Soldiers stand equally matched with the Heavenly Officials!

It was only after becoming an immortal that he realized belatedly that he had made a severe misjudgment of the strengths of both sides at the outset.

These Nine Soldiers were nothing but a pit, a bottomless heavenly pit!

To say nothing of one, even eight more of me couldn’t fill the gap between the strengths of the two sides.

Would you believe that an immortal of the Nine Soldiers needs to hold at least two divine positions, working double, acting as both oxen and horses?

Half of these are just fluff!

The disturbance I caused when I became an immortal was so great that an additional divine position would surely have to appear publicly, while another would secretly have to take the place of someone else’s.

The Buddha, due to his low seniority and despite his impatience, failed to snatch it from that predecessor who already bore three divine positions, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl.

Emperor Shi could only endure his bitterness, resignedly taking on this role... the Wushan Divine Woman.

The key was to perform without giving away any flaws that might be detected by the Heavenly Officials.

He, an esteemed Human Immortal, felt a persistent pain in his liver but had no choice but to submit to the tyranny of the indigenous Heavenly Dao and human willpower.

Now, Emperor Shi wished the Star Lord Taibai, who had inherited his legacy, could ascend to immortality as soon as possible.

And also become a member of the large army of the Nine Soldiers’ oxen and horses.

"While I work, others enjoy leisure, my thoughts just can’t seem to reach others.

When he arrives, I must assign him one too!"

Wang Yuan, who observed from the sidelines, had no particular thoughts about it.

Merit is judged by deeds, not thoughts.

What does a person’s private virtue truly matter in the end?

Cao Mengde coerced the vassals by leveraging the Emperor, relying on Liu Xie; Liu Xuande commandeered Jingzhou with Liu Qi, relying on the eldest son of Jingzhou’s master Liu Biao.

In the end, the Liu Xie in the former’s hands abdicated and met a peaceful end, while the Liu Qi in the latter’s hands died a violent death.

One brother need not mock the other, for everyone’s tactics are just as dark—who can differentiate between the noble Imperial Uncle Liu and the villainous Evil Hero Cao?

Those of the Nine Soldiers who stand on par with the Heavenly Officials, are they not a group even craftier and more malevolent than Weird?

Entering the Nine Soldiers is to fall into the bowl of the Heavenly Dao; to ensure the Master of Heavenly Dao eats well, drinks well, sleeps well, what’s it to play a goddess temporarily?

Which of these immortals from the Nine Soldiers hasn’t come up through the same way?

After that, the violent struggle at the Heavenly Gate did not diminish.

Not only did the immortals who filled their ranks and switched on 007 mode lack the chance to breathe, even the real humans from the mortal world were called away to assist in the defense.

The Killing Tree faction indeed possessed much stronger hard power than the Nine Soldiers.

Even though the most active Yellow Heaven Divine System lost four Green Seals in one breath—Five Techniques of Civilian Control, Lady Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall, Green History Left Behind, Pointing at a Deer and Calling It a Horse—it was far from a crippling blow.

Besides the initial seven Corpse Dissection Immortals, suppressing another Emperor Shi was completely effortless.

Wang Yuan, seeing things clearly, knew that the plan of this bunch of Heavenly Officials was simple.

Since the Heavenly Officials couldn’t descend, then the Nine Soldiers, having gained fresh forces, shouldn’t expect to be able to support the Lower Realm at this juncture.

The Heavenly Officials couldn’t possibly band together intimately, sacrificing themselves for the benefit of others, but reaching a consensus to some degree was no problem.

—At all costs, they must completely bring down Post-Yan, who could potentially disrupt the game’s rules!

The key to breaking this battle wasn’t at the Heavenly Gate, but rather in the great standoff between the north and south above the Heavenly Barrier River in the human realm.

The Three Heavenly God Systems has silently agreed: as long as they could eradicate Post-Yan, they would spare no expense, even if it meant exhausting the foundations of their respective sects in the mortal world!
