Chapter 756: Chapter 775: Catastrophe Begins

“Ridiculous, all under Heaven belong to the King, and everyone at its borders is his minister. There can only be one Heavenly Court. If Ye Xuan stubbornly guards the Heavenly Court, then his only fate is death,” the Southern Immortal Elder roared in rebuke.

“I am just a lowly lady and would normally have no right to speak, but there are four Quasi-Saints in the Heavenly Court, and Ye Xuan is also my elder sister’s husband. This can be considered as having countless ties with my Demon Race. I beg the two Heavenly Emperors not to start a dispute lightly. Perhaps we should let the Heavenly Court remain; it would also hardly stir any storm,” Xue Fengge said in a soft voice.

Xue Fengge was a disciple of Nuwa, and her words carried great weight. Even the two great Heavenly Emperors frowned, evidently, Xue Fengge was pleading for Ye Xuan.

“Fengge, this is a dispute of the Three Realms, you should not recklessly express your opinion.”

Nuwa raised her eyebrows in surprise; she had not expected her disciple to speak such words. However, she did not overly blame her, knowing in her heart that her disciple was compassionate, although she had never met the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden. Nevertheless, she always mentioned her unseen elder sister, and this opinion was also for the sake of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

“Disciple is only worried that the war might begin, and my elder sister, the Mysterious Maiden, will surely be in a difficult position. Please, Master, do not be angry,” Xue Fengge said, slightly aggrieved.

What none realized was a poignant hue passing through Xue Fengge’s eyes.

“Fengge, rest assured. The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden is my disciple, and my Ancient Demon Court will surely not hurt her at all. However, the battle concerns the reputation of the Ancient Demon Court. The Heavenly Court must be removed, and Ye Xuan must die. Only, I feel sorry for the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden,” Emperor Jun said coldly.

“Master!”

Xue Fengge’s expression changed slightly. She bowed to Nuwa, knowing that to prevent this great war, Nuwa’s intervention was the only way to stop the looming tragedy.

“Fengge, the Three Realms have been in chaos for a long time. The Ancient Demon Court upholds the will of Heaven and Earth to stabilize the turmoil in the Three Realms. Even though the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden is my disciple, we cannot mix any personal feelings in this matter. Speak no more,” Nuwa spoke coldly, clearly having anticipated this great battle, a tacit approval of what was coming.

“Disciple obeys.”

Xue Fengge forced a smile, but her heart trembled immensely, and a fierce glint flashed through her eyes before she quickly concealed it.

“Raise the Demon Flag, beat the war drums, join this Emperor in annihilating the Heavenly Court.”

Emperor Jun’s tyrannical aura soared to the skies, his voice booming across Heaven and Earth. At that moment, an immensely terrifying event ensued.

Boom!

The Heavenly Vault trembled, the void shattered, casting light as the boundless Ancient Demon Court began moving towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven. The overwhelming demon light enveloped the entire Ancient Demon Court, sending a chilling murderous intent across trillions of miles in Heaven and Earth.

“There’s going to be trouble!” Lu Ya clenched his fists, uttering a somber tone.

“Ye Xuan, you dare scheme against this Emperor; I shall see how you die miserably by Donghuang Taiyi’s hand,” Emperor Fengdu viciously growled, his hatred for Ye Xuan known only to himself.

“Heavenly Emperor, you must escape,” Shen Gongbao muttered tremulously, his complexion already extremely pale.

“Ye Xuan, you cur, you almost destroyed my Chan Sect years ago, today I want all your Heavenly Court to perish, and I shall crush your bones to dust,” the Southern Immortal Elder snarled sinisterly.

“Ye Xuan, this poor monk wishes to see, with the Ancient Heavenly Court crushing you beneath today, what that feels like,” Duobao Tathagata said with a compassionate face, yet his heart was filled with deep-seated hatred towards Ye Xuan, never forgetting the scene where Ye Xuan trampled him underfoot. Today, undeniably, he was delighted to see the Ancient Demon Court annihilating Ye Xuan.

Heaven and Earth shook, all things trembled, a sky-shattering war was about to begin, indicating that a great calamity of Heaven and Earth was about to officially commence, and all creatures might suffer unimaginable anguish.

Boom!

The boundless Ancient Demon Court, vast enough to cover tens of thousands of miles, moved towards the Heavenly Court at an astonishing speed, like a meteor streaking across the Heavenly Vault, its blazing light illuminating the Three Realms.

…

Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, the Heavenly Turquoise Pool!

Immortal clouds surged, mist rose, and rows of white jade desks were arranged across the Turquoise Pool with members of the Heavenly Court seated solemnly around them. Every face was extremely serious, occasionally radiating a subtle yet deadly aura.

Clang!

Strains of zither music flitted through the void, flowing endlessly like water. Initially, it was like a gentle breeze brushing against the face, but as the music hastened, a scent of blood and massacre silently permeated the air.

Ye Xuan, dressed in black, had his grey-white hair cascading down his back. His three-meter Big Halberd was slanted next to him as the wild winds blew, causing his hair to fly wildly.

A nine-string zither, seemingly forged from decaying wood, with nine crystal-clear strings sparkling, vibrated under Ye Xuan’s fingers. The murderous, blood-steeped notes also originated from here.

“Report!”

Thousand Miles Eye rushed in, his forehead slick with cold sweat, immediately kneeling before Ye Xuan, his voice trembling to the extreme, “Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, the two Demon Emperors of the Demon Race are leading the Ancient Demon Court to us. I fear it will take less than half a day for them to reach the South Heavenly Gate.”

Clang!

The music ceased, the murderous intent dissipated, and Ye Xuan’s expression remained neutral, showing no fear as he faced the impending army of the Ancient Demon Court.

“Step back,” Ye Xuan said softly.

“But, Heavenly Emperor…the Ancient Demon Court…”

“Step back.”

Before Thousand Miles Eye could finish his panicky speech, Kong Xuan’s harsh shout instantly silenced him, making him quickly bow and withdraw from the Turquoise Pool.

“Are all of you prepared for this battle?”

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he gently plucked the zither strings, producing a piercing sound, and at that moment, he looked up at the Heavenly Court’s members.

“Ha ha.”

Kunpeng burst out laughing, saying, “I, Kunpeng, am eager to see whether the Cultivation of these two Great Demon Emperors has progressed through the endless Time.”

“No substance withstands the Five-Colored Divine Light. I’m also eager to see whether Donghuang Taiyi’s Donghuang Bell can remain intact under my Five-Colored Divine Light,” Kong Xuan spoke coldly.

“The way that can be spoken of is not the eternal Way. Although I dislike conflict, when enemies come to our doorstep, surely we can’t stick our heads out to be struck, can we?” Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad said while gently stroking his horsetail whisk.

“What Ancient Demon Court? Today we’ll ensure they come but don’t leave,” Swallowing Heaven Toad buzzed, its massive maw splitting open and its eyes displaying extreme ferocity.

At that moment, members of the Heavenly Court began to speak out with a tremendously terrifying murderous aura surging upwards, clearly ready to engage the Ancient Demon Court in a life-and-death struggle.

“Good, let’s see how much prowess Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun truly have.”

A voice that could shatter mountains and rivers emanated from Ye Xuan, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble violently. The Heavenly Punishment Halberd, slanted next to him, erupted with the fierce aura of all eternity, an unimaginable murderous intent bursting forth from around Ye Xuan.
