At this point, it could be said that they were facing each other head-on. First, the Sky City City Lord caught everyone off guard. Then, the Eastern Tianzun made his move and announced an unparalleled achievement.
Everyone was defeated. In the face of this unparalleled achievement, all the other competitors had no way to resist.
At first, Spacetime Tianzun and the others thought that they were unable to resist the Sky City City Lord this time because the time was too short. They simply did not have enough time to make great contributions.
However, the Eastern Tianzun had used reality to slap them in the face?
Was it really because there was not enough time?
Perhaps it was true. Because the time was too short, they did not have enough time to make an overwhelming contribution. All they could think of were ordinary contributions. Destroying several Great Tianzun of the ancient era and tens of millions of troops was already a very good achievement.
If not for this, Spacetime Tianzun would not have been so confident. However, no matter how crazy he was, he would not have thought of destroying the ancient era because that was almost impossible.
However, the Eastern Tianzun did what everyone thought was impossible. He completed the reversal of the situation, defeated all the strong enemies, and truly became a Middle Tianzun.
"Sir, please advance to Middle Tianzun!"
It was unknown which emperor shouted, but it quickly became a trend. Even those who did not like the Eastern Tianzun would not go against the wishes of everyone at this time.
This was because they knew very well that the Eastern Tianzun, who had made such a great contribution, was almost unstoppable. He was about to become a Middle Tianzun.
Even the Sky City City Lord had tacitly agreed to this.
During the competition, they used many methods, colluded with each other, and suppressed each other. However, once someone obtained the Middle Tianzun position with an absolute advantage, then they would no longer refuse to admit it. This was because it was not necessary. Apart from embarrassing themselves, there was no other use. People who only knew how to use insidious methods could not cultivate to this point.
Even the Moon City City Lord, who Ye Xiwen hated very much, would not do such a thing. Although he was insidious, he would not do such a thing.
This was because they all had a bottom line. Those who did not have a bottom line were already dead.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, then I will advance to Middle Empyrean!" The East Heavenly Venerate wasn't polite at all. As soon as he finished speaking, endless multicolored lights descended from the sky and landed on his body. The position of Middle Heavenly Venerate was equivalent to that of the Vice Ruler of the Fortune Divine Dynasty. In the current situation where the Fortune Heavenly Monarch wasn't present, Middle Heavenly Venerates were considered supreme among all the Heavenly Venerates.
He was also the one who managed the world on behalf of the heavens, so he would naturally receive the protection of the heavens. This was also a great merit. Countless heavenly merit was added to his body, forming a dazzling golden expanse on his body.
"This is … the Body of Merit. He actually managed to cultivate the Body of Merit!" The Heaven City Lord's eyes widened. The golden light that filled the sky was clearly the Body of Merit.
He might have had some doubts before, but now, he had no doubts at all. The amount of merit needed to cultivate a legendary physique like the Body of Merit was enough to make one despair.
Even though he, as the Heaven City's Castellan, had presided over Heaven City for countless years, and had made countless contributions to the Fortune Divine Dynasty, the amount of contribution he had accumulated was far from enough to refine the Physique of Virtue.
Compared to him, the East Heavenly Venerate's situation was no different.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to obtain so much Qi of Merit. Thus, there was only one possibility: one had to destroy the Seventh Gold Epoch in order to refine the Body of Merit.
Since ancient times, in the Martial Epoch, people who managed to cultivate a Body of Beneficence were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. There were only two or three of them, and any one of them was an unrivaled character whose fame shook the world. The best of them was the Fortune Heavenly Lord.
Originally, the East Heavenly Venerate was already terrifying enough. Now that he had cultivated the Body of Merit, his strength would leap to become the strongest person in their echelon.
Not only would he have made great contributions, but he would also have the strength to suppress everyone else. This time, no matter how unwilling the Heaven City's Castellan was, he could only accept this crushing defeat in front of such a powerful East Heavenly Venerate. If he wanted to get back at him, that would be a matter for the future. This time, it ended in failure.
Not only the Heaven City's Castellan, but almost everyone else also saw the East Heavenly Venerate's Body of Merit and gasped. The Body of Merit was one of the most terrifying physiques in the world. Once it was cultivated, it would be almost invincible. Innately invincible, free from karma. Any martial arts that specialized in harming the spirit would all be ineffective in the face of this physique.
It was just like Ye Xiwen using the World Tree to protect his spirit. All spirit attacks were ineffective. Although the methods were different, the results were the same. It was very rare.
Whether it was to achieve the Body of Merit or to obtain the World Tree, it was possible only with supreme opportunities.
In order to achieve the Body of Merit, the East Heavenly Venerate had destroyed the Seventh Gold Era. Since Ye Xiwen obtained the Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree, he had constantly cultivated it. In the process of cultivating the World Tree, it was unknown how many resources he had consumed. It was simply unimaginable.
Rays of light descended from the sky, and the faint sound of chanting came from the Heavenly Way. For a time, all kinds of visions erupted like a well, and auspicious lights shone brightly.
This represented the Heavenly Way's recognition of the East Heavenly Venerate's promotion to the Middle Heavenly Venerate. Although it was not personally appointed by the Good Fortune Heaven Lord, it was the will of the heavens. The will of the heavens was the will of all living beings in the world. Even the Good Fortune Heaven Lord could not go against it.
Of course, if the Good Fortune Heaven Lord had returned, he might not have cared at all. This was too common for him.
The East Heavenly Venerate was promoted to the Middle Heavenly Venerate. The throne under him began to rumble and rise until it was a little higher than the other Heavenly Venerate City Lords. After all, the Middle Heavenly Venerate was just a Deputy Lord. He was not the real Lord, so he could not stand above everyone else.
"Greetings, Middle Heavenly Venerate!"
Everyone either bowed half or fully. They all paid their respects to the East Empyrean, who was now a Middle Empyrean.
Even the unwilling Heaven City Lords and others were no exception. This was respect for the rules. Today, he could take the lead to disrespect the Middle Heavenly Venerate. Then, in the future, there would be people who would not put him in their eyes.
The so-called initiator, would there not be a successor?
The Middle Heavenly Venerate only felt that he had countless merits and countless laws on his body. His connection with the entire Martial Dao Epoch was becoming tighter and tighter. This was also the price he had to pay. Since he had received the benefits of becoming a Middle Heavenly Venerate, he naturally had to bear the responsibility of becoming a Middle Heavenly Venerate.
It was never as simple as just having benefits.
"Good, since I have become a Middle Heavenly Venerate today, I will bear the responsibility I should have. I will lead the Fortune God Dynasty from glory to even greater glory!" The Middle Heavenly Venerate waved his hand. He had already extricated himself from the initial excitement of becoming a Middle Heavenly Venerate.
"Before we discuss how to take back Moon City, I suggest that we strip Moon City's City Lord of his position and put him in custody. Whether or not he colluded with the Demonic Path Epoch is something we have yet to investigate. However, because of his selfishness, he lost one of the ten great Divine Cities, Moon City. This is an unforgivable crime. If we do not punish him severely, how can we convince the masses?" The Middle Heavenly Venerate's gaze was as deep as the universe. He swept his gaze over everyone, seemingly seeking their opinion. However, no one doubted his determination.
This was clear from the dispute between him and Moon City's City Lord. A phrase appeared in everyone's minds. A new official would make drastic changes. Of all things, Moon City's City Lord had fallen into his hands.
He was a Middle Heavenly Venerate, so he naturally had such authority.
Moreover, everyone was indeed worried about someone who might be related to the Demonic Path Epoch sitting in the position of Moon City's City Lord again. Many people coveted the position of Moon City's City Lord and had their own opinions about it. Thus, this was the general trend and the hearts of the people. The Middle Heavenly Venerate's words undoubtedly conformed to the hearts of the people.
"I agree with the Middle Heavenly Venerate. Since he has committed a great crime, he should pay the price!" Ye Xiwen stepped forward to support the Middle Heavenly Venerate. They had already reached this point and were about to force the Moon City Lord into a desperate situation. How could he give up?
"That's right. Debts must be paid back. Mistakes must be punished. It is only right and proper. If we let someone like him continue to be the Moon City Lord because of his selfishness, I won't accept it either!" Seeing that Ye Xiwen had already taken the lead, the others immediately agreed. It was everyone's wish to have him step down. He had already become the target of public criticism.
Because of the fall of Moon City, it had caused countless disturbances. How many people had died? How many people hated him? The Moon City Lord didn't even know about this. He actually thought that he was fine. He had been tyrannical and domineering everywhere he went. Now, this had become a storm that would destroy him.
The Moon City Lord probably didn't expect that the Middle Heavenly Venerate's words would cause so many people to agree. Many of them, who had previously called him brothers, had extremely ugly expressions.
Even the Sky City Lord, who had promised to protect him and write off his sin of losing Moon City, could only pretend that he didn't see it. If he had become a Middle Heavenly Venerate, he might have been able to rely on the authority of a Middle Heavenly Venerate to erase him. But now that he had lost the competition, what could he do?
Moreover, how could he not have any thoughts about the Moon City Lord? For his own selfishness, Moon City had fallen. Who knew how many experts and elites had been lost in the fall of Moon City?
"Moon City Lord, see for yourself. The general trend is like this. Quickly surrender and save me the trouble!" the Middle Heavenly Venerate shouted.
The Moon City Lord's expression was ferocious. Seeing that he had been deserted, he couldn't help but roar, "Middle Heavenly Venerate, you are only half a level higher than me. Unless the Fate Creation Heaven Lord is resurrected, no one has the right to criticize me. My position as the Moon City Lord wasn't conferred by you, so you have no right to abolish it!"
"Stubborn fool!"
