In the Apricot Continent, in the name of preventing the barrier from being broken, Run Daoist ordered a group of Qi Practitioners who had pledged allegiance to the Third Prince to fight with the many Celestial Lords.
These Celestial Lords all had sturdy bodies and armors forged by the Heavenly Court. Unless one's cultivation reached a certain level, it would be very difficult to shake their bodies with magic arts. Thus, it was very strenuous for them to fight.
At this moment, a loose immortal dodged a Celestial Lord's hammer. Just as he was about to use his magic power to force the Celestial Lord back, he saw a shadow sweeping over. It was another Celestial Lord slashing at him with a sword. Moreover, there was a suction force on the sword, preventing him from escaping. His face immediately turned pale, and he knew that he had no chance of escaping.
But at this moment, the Celestial Lord's body suddenly tilted, and the light in his eyes dimmed. Then, like a collapsing mountain, he fell heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces with a loud rumble.
The loose immortal had no time to rejoice after escaping this calamity. He quickly flew into the sky and calmed himself down. When he looked down, he was greatly shocked.
He saw the huge bodies surrounding the palace collapsing with a series of rumbling sounds. It looked like a mountain range collapsing. But what puzzled him was that these Celestial Lords were not attacked at all.
At this moment, beams of light flew into the sky. It was the Qi Practitioners who discovered this strange situation. They also left the circle and looked at this scene in amazement.
When Daoist Run Ming saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He performed a hand seal and discovered that the sign was on the Heavenly Talisman. He immediately understood the reason. These Star Venerables were like this because their source of life had been destroyed.
He looked around. Although many Celestial Lords were killed, there were still a large number of them left. But after this happened, they immediately showed signs of retreating.
This was natural. Their source of life was being attacked. How could they have the heart to continue wasting time here?
Run Ming sneered and immediately sent a message to the surroundings. He ordered all the cultivators on his side to charge out together and delay these Celestial Lords.
After receiving his order, the Minor Chengyang Palace's side immediately changed from a battle to a battle of attrition. If these Stellar Lords dared to turn back without a care for anything, then not many would be able to return safely.
Run Ming saw that this was a promising plan and had another idea. He found a disciple and instructed, "Go to Yanlu Country now and invite Fellow Daoist of Mount Li Wang to kill the celestial heavens' Star Lords. Go now!" As he spoke, he shoved a message talisman into the disciple's hand. Then, using his Qi, he teleported the disciple to the Yan Lu Kingdom.
At this time, in Yanlu Country, Wan Guang was afraid that De Dao still had some tricks up his sleeves due to the God Statue incident. Thus, he personally patrolled around to see if there were any loopholes. As he was flying, he suddenly saw a Daoist outside the formation. Looking at his Qi dynamic, he was a disciple of Quan Dao. He did not know why the Daoist was here at this moment. After thinking for a while, he sent a disciple to question him.
The disciple quickly returned and said, "Martial Uncle, that person claims to be a disciple of Perfected Immortal Run Ming. He is here under the order of this Daoist to invite me to attack the celestial heavens' Star Lords." He handed over a message talisman with both hands and said, "This person's token is here."
Wan Guang took a look and made some calculations. After confirming that this person was indeed a disciple of Quan Dao, he thought that attacking the celestial heavens' Star Lords was worth it.
If it was in the past, because the celestial heavens was the ruler of heaven and earth, Mount Li Wang would more or less give them some face. But now that both sides were ready to fight, there was no need to care about this. Not to mention, this person was a huge threat to the eleventh prince. If they killed some of them, it would reduce the obstacles in the future.
And if the celestial heavens did not have these martial forces to rely on, it would be much easier to deal with them in the future. Thus, he said, "Go and tell this person that I know about this. Since both sides are in an alliance, I will not let Fellow Daoist fight the enemy alone."
Quan Dao's disciple received an accurate reply, bowed, and left.
Wan Guang made some arrangements and chose a disciple to go with him. He used a teleportation technique and in an instant, they were outside the Little Chengyang Palace.
Run Guang saw him and jumped up to welcome him. Because the enemy had not left, they exchanged greetings and talked for a while before they separated to attack the celestial heavens' Star Lords.
With the cooperation of both sides, the celestial heavens' Star Lords that descended to the mortal world to attack the Apricot Continent felt that they could not withstand it anymore. In addition, they were worried about the foundation and did not have the heart to continue fighting. Thus, they had to give up a portion of the celestial heavens' Star Lords and the rest hurriedly returned to the void.
The portion that was left behind was quickly wiped out. On the surface, this generation did not seem to have suffered a great loss because as long as the star essence was not destroyed, they could go back and change their bodies. However, these external objects needed to be reforged by the celestial heavens. Thus, they could solve the crisis of the foundation being attacked. In a short period of time, there were not enough people to send out to find trouble with the two princes.
At the same time, deep in the void.
Ying Kuang used the power of the Heavenly Talisman to continuously kill the star essence. Every star essence destroyed was equivalent to the death of a celestial lord.
There were billions of stars in the sky and it could be said to be endless. However, there were only a few celestial lords that ruled over the celestial heavens. Especially the original star essence that was entrusted with consciousness, it was not something that could be easily produced. If it was destroyed, it would not be able to recover in a relatively long period of time. Thus, his actions quickly attracted the celestial lords that were stationed here and they tried to stop him.
Unfortunately, in the face of the Heavenly Talisman, even if these celestial lords came forward, they would be destroyed by the power of the talisman. They could not do anything to him.
Previously, when he fought with the celestial lords, he was exhausted. Now that he had the cauldron that Wan Guang gave him, even if he was slightly tired, he only needed to use the cauldron to recover his strength. If there was no one to stop him, he could continue fighting endlessly.
At this moment, in the celestial heavens, after Sky Emperor heard about this, he was abnormally angry. However, there was not much he could do about this. He quickly sent someone to Zique Mountain to ask for help from a virtuous person.
After Sky Emperor pleaded for him, Zhi Le could not help but think about it.
From the perspective of Zique Mountain, if the celestial heavens had fewer celestial lords, they would be more reliant on the virtuous path. This would be beneficial to them. However, if there were no celestial lords to protect them, the celestial heavens would not be able to govern the universe, and the Hao family would not be able to stabilize their position as celestial emperor. The position of the virtuous path would also be meaningless. Thus, they had to step forward to help. Thus, they immediately sent people of the same generation that they could send to kill Ying Kuang.
Not long after, the true figure of the virtuous path appeared in the depths of the void.
Seeing the appearance of the virtuous path, Ying Kuang's expression froze. He knew that it was time for him to retreat.
Perhaps because the Heavenly Talisman was personally refined by the virtuous path Grand Supreme, it had limited effect on these true immortals. At most, it could only be used to move them away and could not do anything to them. Moreover, every time it was used, there would be one less fairy book. It was not a wise move to fight them head-on. Even if he could really injure this person and make a big deal out of it, the Grand Supreme might really make a move. Thus, he did not hesitate and immediately used the Heavenly Talisman to return to the mortal realm.
The virtuous path Grand Supreme had been instructed in advance that he only needed to drive Ying Kuang away and did not need to care about anything else. Thus, seeing that he had left, he did not chase after him.
Ying Kuang returned to his original residence. He did not lie low here and began to think about the next step.
Even though he did not kill all the Star Lords this time, he had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the celestial heavens, especially to the celestial heavens' authority.
The Star Lords were the celestial heavens' reliance to suppress the various worlds. It was also because of them that the gods of the various worlds could enjoy the tributes of the lower bound, and no one dared to disobey them. If something were to happen to them, then the rule of the lower bound would soon be unstable.
However, the celestial heavens' accumulated authority was still there. Most people were probably watching and no one dared to rise up and overthrow the gods. Thus, he tried to light the first fire.
He took out the talisman book and gathered all the Qi Practitioners he secretly recruited. He said, "Now, the Hao Clan has two princes outside and they do not listen to orders. The celestial heavens can't do anything about it. Now, the Hao Clan is at odds with the Grand Supreme. Even if we have the help of the virtuous path, we have no time to care about other things. This is the time for us to pull ourselves together."
After giving some detailed instructions, he ordered these people to split up and get ready to slaughter the gods in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This was also a test. After this, if the celestial heavens reacted strongly and sent another Star Lord down, then it meant that they still had the strength to care about the outside world. He would continue to wait for a while. If the celestial heavens pretended not to see anything, then he would try to make a bigger scene.
In the next few months, he traveled all over the Great Zhou Dynasty and killed the gods without mercy. Perhaps it was because the Star Lord was too heavily injured, or perhaps they were afraid of the Heavenly Talisman in his hands, but this time, the celestial heavens did not make any moves.
Seeing this scene, the people he had sent out earlier also began to move. Even though the commotion was not great in the beginning, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that if the Heavenly Court did not stop it in time, it would definitely spread until it could not be stopped.
After a few months, the celestial heavens finally reacted. The Celestial Monarch issued an edict, ordering the Qi Practitioners to protect the gods and kill those who did not submit. Those who contributed to the celestial heavens would be rewarded with an official position in the celestial heavens.
For a long time, the Celestial Monarch had been trying to control the Qi Practitioners. But now, he did not have the power to eliminate Ying Kuang and did not want to rely too much on the virtuous path. Thus, he could only open up this loophole. Although this would cause another bad consequence, it could not be denied. Indeed, there were many itinerant immortals who heard about this and went down the mountain to kill Ying Kuang's subordinates in exchange for an official position in the celestial heavens.
The two sides fought fiercely. In addition, the gods all recruited monster soldiers to protect their lives. Suddenly, chaos broke out everywhere and the heavens were not at peace.
Time passed and thirty years passed.
The chaos in the heavens showed no signs of subsiding. As the gods continued to be killed, the celestial heavens' control over the lower realm became weaker and weaker.
At this moment, outside the void, Zhi Le cupped his hands and said to a Daoist opposite him, "Fellow Daoist Shang Ming, thank you for letting me win."
The Daoist returned the greeting and silently retreated.
The three battles between Quan Dao and De Dao had ended. Unexpectedly, the party who proposed to fight Quan Dao was the one who lost and none of them won.
However, because both sides had their own thoughts and did not agree on what to do after the winner was decided, Quan Dao would never admit defeat.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. Compared to Quan Dao winning, he actually hoped to see this result because it meant that other than accepting his proposal, Quan Dao had no other way out. Thus, he looked at the two and said, "Fellow Daoists, why don't you two reconsider my previous suggestion?"
