Against the Ancestor God's might, humans were the only ones among the peak races that had yet to submit.
Tens of millions of demonic servants, a hundred Godly Monarchs, and an army of hundreds of thousands of races.
The Heavenly Courts naturally had no means of resisting. While the Celestial army was bearing down on them, the Heavenly Courts did not set up any defenses. They did not even activate the array at the entrance.
In fact, activating the array was meaningless. A combined attack from such an army was enough to shatter any array. Even the Heavenly Courts' palaces would be reduced to ashes.
At that moment, in the Heavenly Courts' central square, the two patriarchs, Polar and Heaven Punishment, were sitting side by side on seats of supremacy. And beneath them were the Godly Monarchs of the Heavenly Courts.
Apart from them, more than half of the Godly Monarchs from the other human factions had arrived.
With humanity, or perhaps it should be said that the Chaos Heavenly Courts were facing a life-and-death crisis, it was already praiseworthy that more than half of the Godly Monarchs came despite knowing that they were like moths flying into a flame. In fact, even the Godly Monarchs that did not come were only seeds left behind by their factions for the continuation of the Martial Dao.
The humans had a total of thirty-two Godly Monarchs, including the two patriarchs.
One of them was the Taixia Ancient Mining's Godly Monarch — Divineheart.
Godly Monarch Divineheart had once gotten to know Yi Yun in the Xuanyuan Dune. The two of them could be considered friends. His strength was considered relatively weak among the thirty-two Godly Monarchs. In the face of such a storm, his strength was just too negligible.
As he looked at the Celestial army flying above the Heavenly Courts that blotted out the sun, Divineheart felt wistful. Once upon a time, becoming a Godly Monarch was his greatest goal in life. He was already satisfied, but from the looks of it, he was nothing more than a tiny splash.
"Polar, I'm here on the Ancestor God's orders to slay Yi Yun."
The Divine Emperor flew in midair, as tall as a mountain. The palaces of the Heavenly Courts looked like toy houses beneath his feet.
Polar sat on his seat of supremacy in silence, as though he did not hear anything.
"Hand over Yi Yun!"
Added the Divine Emperor. His words left everyone slightly taken aback.
Could Yi Yun be in the Heavenly Courts!?
The Divine Emperor had previously mentioned that after the Ancestor God began interacting with the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao, Yi Yun's location was still found by the Ancestor God despite him wiping away the tracing mark.
People believed that Yi Yun would find a secluded spot to hide or even flee the Chaos Heavens. They never expected Yi Yun to stay in the Heavenly Courts.
If the Celestials pursued Yi Yun, they would definitely pass through the Heavenly Courts. That was the most dangerous place.
At this time, there was no such thing as the most dangerous place being the safest.
Polar did not reply. He slowly stood up and floated in the air until he was at the same height as the God Emperor's eyes.
"Aren't you going to pay?" A sarcastic smile suffused across the Divine Emperor's bronze-cast face. "Yi Yun does not seem to have any good intentions. He knows that he is about to die and wishes to use your Heavenly Courts as a shield. If not, why would he choose the Heavenly Courts as his final hiding spot? The Heavenly Court is also the core of the human race. Did he choose this place to drag the Heavenly Court in and destroy it? "
As he spoke, the God Emperor slowly extended his hand, and a huge ax appeared out of thin air in his palm.
This giant axe was made entirely of metal and had a dark golden luster. No one doubted that as long as this giant axe chopped down, the earth would be split open.
The Divine Emperor looked at Polar as though he was looking at a dead man.
Although the Ancestor God did not immediately pursue the crimes of the Ghost, Soul, and Fey patriarchs, it did not mean that he completely ignored the rebellion.
There was a price to pay for betrayal. Apart from Yi Yun, there had to be someone to be punished; otherwise, it would not be enough to establish his authority.
And that person was no doubt Polar. Over the past few decades, Polar's rebellious streak was the most obvious. Even before Yi Yun appeared, Polar had incited the rebellion several times.
"From the looks of it, you plan on rebelling against me?"
Apart from Polar, none of the patriarchs of the other races dared to fly to the Divine Emperor's height. All of them looked up at him, except for Polar.
"You speak as though you plan on sparing me." Polar sneered. He was not afraid of death. Decades ago, when he attempted to unite the Chaos Heavens' Godly Monarchs, he had already considered the possibility of dying in battle.
"It doesn't matter if you die, but do you plan on having the Heavenly Courts accompany you in death?" The Divine Emperor's voice was filled with rich killing intent. If Polar knelt down and surrendered, he could spare the Heavenly Courts.
But if Polar wished to resist, he could not be blamed for not showing any mercy. How could there not be blood when tens of millions of troops were mobilized?
And the Heavenly Courts was the best offering.
The moment the Divine Emperor said that, the Godly Monarchs of the Ghost, Soul, and Fey races lamented inwardly. The races backing them were their true weakness. They could not ignore them.
Has Polar gone mad? Does he not even care about the survival of the Human Race?
Polar looked straight at the Divine Emperor. Even with the Heavenly Courts threatening him, he did not show any signs of fear. All he did was sigh as though he was in mourning.
"What is the purpose of us cultivators cultivating our entire lives? It's not to enjoy riches, wealth, and beauty. It's not to be high and mighty, to enslave all life! We cultivate to fight for our lives against the heavens. We are unwilling to be reincarnated. We cultivate for a thousand years, ten thousand years, ten million years! The Martial Dao has been passed down for a hundred million years, a billion years, ten billion years! It's not to make us kneel down and beg for mercy after we finish our studies. Once our spines are broken, we will never be able to straighten our backs again. Today, the Celestials wish to destroy my Heavenly Courts, so my Heavenly Courts will fight a bloody battle. "
Upon hearing Polar's words, the Divine Emperor was truly taken aback. He was stunned for a moment before he roared with laughter.
"Hahaha! Even if their spines are broken, they can still live. In the future, they can still be nurtured with precious medicine, and they can still recover. However, if their race is exterminated, then there will really be nothing left. Polar, I didn't expect that you would actually let your disciples and grand-disciples die with you just for a moment of pleasure. Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish! "
As the Divine Emperor spoke, the demonic servant army of tens of millions began surrounding the Heavenly Courts.
They were setting up an array formation!
Once the array formation was set up, destroying the Heavenly Courts would be a matter of thought!
Upon seeing this scene, the Godly Monarchs of the Fey, Soul, and Ghost races had no choice but to participate in the annihilation of the Heavenly Courts despite their reluctance.
They could choose not to contribute, but they could not avoid the battle. If not, the Ancestor God would settle the score with them after wiping out the humans.
Just as the demonic servant army was setting up the array formation, the world suddenly trembled. Thunderous booms sounded from deep underground like the angry roars of ancient divine beasts.
This tremor spread out at an astonishing speed. If one used their perception to track it, they would discover that the tremor did not weaken as it spread out. Instead, it absorbed the Heaven and Earth powers, intensifying and accelerating.
It was as though it was sweeping through the entire Chaos Heavens!
Many warriors in the Chaos Heavens were alarmed by the tremor.
A few days ago, the activation of the Ancestor God's array had already stirred the Chaos Heavens. Could it be the Ancestor God again?
Ordinary warriors were puzzled, but the Celestial Divine Emperor knew very well that the tremor had nothing to do with the Ancestor God!
