One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 883 Trump Card
With the cooperation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Heavenly Court directly penetrated deep into the heart of the Underworld. Once the battle begins, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Underworld.

The eighteen levels of hell may also be damaged as a result, and it is unknown how many evil spirits will take this opportunity to escape hell and commit evil deeds in the mortal world.

Some of the evil spirits imprisoned and punished in hell will retaliate by committing even greater evils.

Because they knew they would be taken back to the underworld sooner or later, and they also deeply experienced the pain of the hellish punishments, they would rather die resisting arrest and be destroyed, than return to hell to be punished again.

Even Marshal Tianpeng knew the consequences of starting a fight here, so he ran to Prince Zhang's side:
"Your Highness! Stop waiting. Even if I, Monkey King, come, it won't make a difference. Did our leader give you any special moves? Use them quickly!"

Don't actually watch a battle between Golden Immortals in the Underworld. Even if they win, all they'll get is an Underworld reduced to ruins.

Pigsy has a sharp eye; this time, the Heavenly Court is taking it very seriously, and no important figure in the Heavenly Court is holding back in the slightest.

For example, Zhang Daoling, one of the Four Celestial Masters, brought all his signature magical treasures with him.

The Three-Five Demon-Slaying Swords flew around Zhang Daoling, the Zhengyi Alliance Talisman hung above his head, and he held the Yangping Governing Capital Merit Seal in his hands.

Among them, the 【Three-Five Demon-Slaying Twin Swords】 and the 【Yangping Governing Capital Merit Seal】 go without saying. The two swords are demon-slaying divine swords produced by Laozi, and the seal is an angel seal bestowed by Laozi to suppress and exterminate evil.

As for the [Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman], Taoist scriptures describe it as follows:

He commands all spirits and deities of heaven and earth, vanquishes evil demons, slays monsters, summons spirits and energy, controls mountains and rivers, cleanses impurities, transmits memorials and messages, and communicates with immortals. Nothing is more important than Zhengyi.

In layman's terms, it is a list and archive of celestial officials, containing the names of all the Zhengyi celestial officials. It can be considered a smaller version of the Investiture of the Gods.

With this name register, Zhang Daoling could summon 36,000 gods to come and assist him.

Although those 36,000 gods were not even at the Taiyi realm, let alone Taiyi Golden Immortal, they were still called immortals and were much stronger than heavenly soldiers.

Using quantity to compensate for quality can barely fill the void left by the extinction of the Star Official lineage.

In the past, this scroll of the Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman was enshrined in the ancestral hall of Longhu Mountain to suppress the Qi of Longhu Mountain. It was the most precious treasure of Longhu Mountain.

Upon seeing this formation, Pigsy knew that they alone could not possibly hold back the Heavenly Army.

However, as a former Marshal Tianpeng, he also possessed a certain strategic vision.

Since Sun Wukong and Prince Zhang dared to make the decision to split their forces before the battle, they must have had a backup plan.

After all, even if the Demon Lord Chonglou was the bravest in the Three Realms and Prince Zhang was a master strategist, it was impossible for them, a small group of two or three people, to restrain an entire fully armed, relentless, and prepared Heavenly Army.

Hu Xiuwu must have given Sun Wukong and Prince Zhang some trump card to be able to trust their plan.

Prince Zhang sighed: "Marshal, you are indeed very clever, but I didn't originally intend to use this trump card here."

Pigsy advised, "Your Highness, if you don't use it, I'll have no choice but to run away and go find Brother Monkey."

Running away was a ruse; he was merely reminding Prince Zhang that their small group was no match for the Heavenly Court's army, which consisted of several Taiyi Golden Immortals.

The white spear in Prince Zhang's hand emanated magical power, swirling around him like a black dragon emerging from the abyss, protecting him.

A cacophony of battle sounds erupted from the Heavenly Court, the clamor building up layer upon layer, shaking the heavens like thunder.

Just now, Pigsy and Prince Zhang did not use divine sense to transmit their voices; they were simply speaking normally. Although the two sides were thousands of meters apart, one in the heavens of the underworld and the other standing on the earth of darkness.

However, there were no ordinary people present. Even though they were thousands of meters apart, their conversation, without any magical concealment, was no different from being spoken clearly in the ears of the celestial beings and gods.

Therefore, when the people of the Heavenly Court heard that "Prince Zhang is going to use the trump card given to him by Hu Xiuwu," they were all on high alert.

As the only Grand Luo Golden Immortal with the feat of killing a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the trump card he entrusted to his subordinates to turn the tide of battle must be incredibly powerful. Who would dare to take it lightly or not take it seriously?

Emperor Gouchen immediately summoned the four remaining generals of the Thunder, Fire, Plague, and Struggle tribes, who had survived several major battles, to form the [Three Talents Golden Cup Formation].

The 【Three Talents Golden Cup Formation】is dedicated to defense. In addition, the responsibility of the Great Emperor Gouchen among the Four Emperors is to assist the Jade Emperor in governing the Three Talents. With him as the core of the formation, its power is even more extraordinary, and its defense is comparable to that of the Southern Dipper constellation.

What's more, this time Doumu Yuanjun has also joined the team.

Incidentally, he also protected the Eight Immortals, the Four Heavenly Masters, Erlang Shen, and his six Meishan brothers within the formation.

However, the [Three Talents Golden Cup Formation] is different from the [Zhou Tian Star Formation]; it cannot utilize the power of all the gods and immortals, and can only protect them within the formation.

With the fall of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, only the Great Emperor Gouchen could take his place.

Emperor Gouchen rides a black dragon, clad in dark armor and a golden helmet, his face ashen, his three eyes blazing with fury. He wields a purple-gold whip and a demon-slaying sword, acting on behalf of Heaven to punish all; at his waist hangs the imperial seal, allowing him to command troops.

To the left and right are the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, and the Five Thunder Generals, with lightning swirling in the background, highlighting a somber and murderous atmosphere.

Emperor Gouchen is the Lord of Ten Thousand Thunders, and is more skilled in thunder magic than Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of the Central Heaven. He is also the younger brother of Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, and has the authority to command all the stars.

Theoretically speaking, after the death of the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, he should inherit the responsibilities of the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven and rule over all the stars.

Unfortunately, Hu Xiuwu donned armor and replaced the divine position of the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven.

Although the former Ziwei Emperor died, the divine position was not vacant, so the Gouchen Emperor never controlled the stars for a single day.

However, Emperor Gouchen was quite relieved about this, otherwise he suspected that he too would have died at the hands of Hu Xiuwu.

He was actually quite afraid of Hu Xiuwu, but as a subordinate of the Jade Emperor, he dared not disobey the Jade Emperor's orders. He could only grit his teeth and, under the leadership of Doumu Yuanjun, come to intercept Hu Xiuwu's subordinates.

Therefore, when Emperor Gouchen heard that Prince Zhang had a trump card given to him by Hu Xiuwu, his first move was not the offensive [Ten Thousand Thunder Soldiers Formation], but the defensive [Three Talents Golden Cup Formation].

Prince Zhang noticed the array of light flowing above his head, the energy of the three realms circulating, forming an array as solid as a golden goblet, yet he remained full of confidence.

He has the trump card given to him by the Great Golden Immortal, so he should have this confidence.

Emperor Gouchen and the other immortals and gods had no doubts whatsoever; they simply watched Prince Zhang's every move with utmost vigilance.

Seeing that the [Three Talents Golden Cup Formation] was unbreakable, Prince Zhang actually laughed out loud and said:
"If we don't take action now, when will we take action?"

A sigh actually rang out from the center of the [Three Talents Golden Cup Formation].

Emperor Gouchen and the Four Celestial Masters immediately turned pale.

There's an undercover agent!
