Living in the deep palace

Unyielding City, Inspectorate.

This is the highest symbol of the Heavenly Court's power on this planet.

In the past, this place was solemn and imposing, and no one dared to approach it.

But today, the master of this place, the highest-ranking official of the Surveillance Department, a middle-aged divine general whose cultivation had reached the peak of "Mysterious Immortal" and whose expression was arrogant, was unprecedentedly... enraged!
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

He kicked over the table made of ancient jade in front of him, pointed at his kneeling, trembling subordinates below, and roared madly:

"A whole month! A whole month! And you couldn't even find a single hidden demon?!"

"Li Quan is dead! An entire squad of celestial soldiers had their cultivation crippled! Now, the entire Unyielding City is buzzing with the nonsense about that 'Path of the True Self'!"

"Is this how you serve the Heavenly Court?!"

"Li Quan is just a useless True Immortal; they're not important, but this is a slap in the face to the Heavenly Court!!"

"Once the higher-ups find out about this, they will definitely hold me accountable. Why hasn't this matter been resolved after being suppressed for so long?"

Just then, a trusted confidant stumbled in, his face filled with terror:
"M-My lord! Something terrible has happened!"

"Outside the city...!"

"The Feng family, the Wang family, and the Li family... they... they actually united most of the cultivators in the city and... surrounded our Surveillance Division!"

"what?!"

Zhao Wuji's pupils suddenly contracted!
He took a step forward, and his figure appeared in the sky above the Surveillance Department.

He looked down and saw that the once spacious square below was now packed with people!

Tens of thousands of cultivators, wielding all sorts of magical treasures, no longer displayed the fear and numbness of the past on their faces. Instead, they showed an unprecedented determination and fighting spirit...
They're going to rebel!
Leading the group was none other than Feng Canyun, who had just broken through and whose aura was many times stronger than before!

"Feng Canyun! You...do you want to rebel?!"

Zhao Wuji's voice was like ice from the heavens, filled with endless killing intent.

He can feel it.

Among those present, there was more than one True Immortal aura, the most powerful of whom was Feng Canyun, but he was still only at the True Immortal realm.

Such a lineup is rare among True Immortals, and it is indeed considered powerful here, given that the Tribulation Transcending stage is the peak.

but.

To know.

Their Inspection Department has experts at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm! How dare these guys rebel?
however.

The answer he received was Feng Canyun's equally cold, yet incredibly loud voice!

"We will not rebel against Heaven, nor against Earth."

"We are only here to reclaim the dignity that rightfully belongs to us!"

"Today, we only ask for one thing!"

Feng Canyun raised his head, his eyes, now filled with a sense of rebirth, staring directly at Zhao Wuji, and said, word by word:

"—Abolish the 'tribute'! Get out of Jianmu! This is not a colony of your Heavenly Court, get out!"

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Wuji was so angry that he laughed!

"You bunch of cursed ants?!"

"Today, I will show you what... the might of Heaven truly is!"

boom!
The terrifying pressure of a peak Xuanxian cultivator descended like a bursting dam!

He wanted to use the bloodiest and most brutal methods to completely crush this group of "rebels" who dared to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Court!
However, just as he was about to make his move...

A calm voice, seemingly coming from beyond the heavens, gently echoed in everyone's ears.

"I said."

"Here... Heaven's might no longer exist."

Buzz——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you say is what the law says!

The terrifying pressure that Zhao Wuji possessed, capable of crushing mountains and rivers, vanished silently the moment it came into contact with this even more supreme "Dao"!
"Who?!"

Zhao Wuji was greatly alarmed. He suddenly looked up and scanned the vast land with his divine sense, looking in the direction from which the sound came—Tingfeng Tower.

At the top of the restaurant, a figure in white had quietly taken up a seat.

He stood there quietly with his hands behind his back, looking down at everything below, like a god who held the fate of all living beings in his hands.

……

……

The moment Su Chen's figure appeared at the top of Tingfeng Tower, the tens of thousands of cultivators below erupted in a frenzied cheer that was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing down!

"He is a Taoist master!"

"The Taoist master has made a move!"

"We respectfully welcome the Daoist Master!"

Their voices converged into a mighty torrent of faith, soaring into the sky, and even faintly rivaling Zhao Wuji's aura at the peak of the Xuanxian realm!
Zhao Wuji's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

His gaze was fixed on Su Chen, and his heart was filled with turmoil!

He can't see through it!
He couldn't see through the true nature of the young man in white before him at all!

Xuan Yu Xian?!

wrong.

It's not just Xuan Yuxian.

How could a powerhouse of this caliber appear in this abandoned land? How could a place where the strongest local expert is only at the Tribulation Transcending stage have a powerhouse of this caliber?
There was no energy fluctuation from the other party, yet he felt a terrifying pressure that was even more unfathomable than facing a legendary Golden Immortal giant!
Especially that phrase "Heavenly might is gone," which, as if spoken by magic, easily dissolved his oppressive aura. Such a method was completely beyond his comprehension!

The person before us is probably truly at the ineffable third realm!
White-robed Taoist master?

Is this the white-robed Taoist master who's been preaching lately?! A giant of the Third Realm?!

"Who...who are you?!"

A slight tremor, which even he himself was unaware of, crept into Zhao Wuji's voice.

If it weren't for his subordinates behind him, and the fact that he was representing the Heavenly Court's Surveillance Department, he probably would have been so frightened that he would have knelt on the ground.

Although he was at the peak of the second realm of Xuanxian, he knew very well that the gap between him and Xuanyuxian, or even Jinxian, was like that between a true immortal and an ant on the ground.

Su Chen didn't even glance at him.

His gaze swept over the faces below, faces filled with hope and fighting spirit.

His voice, calm yet seemingly containing boundless power, resounded throughout the entire Unyielding City.

"I have said before that the power to change your destiny lies in yourselves."

"Today is your first battle to fight for 'freedom' for yourselves and for future generations."

"Go."

“Let him see the power that you ‘ants’ he calls yourselves possess.”

"Yes!"

Having received Su Chen's "divine decree," the fighting spirit in the eyes of all the cultivators below instantly reached its peak!
"kill!"

With a roar, Feng Canyun was the first to transform into a streak of light and rush towards Zhao Wuji!
His newly acquired primordial power, which was several times more abundant than that of an ordinary True Immortal, erupted without reservation!

Relying on the accumulation of his family's ancestral land, he broke through the threshold of True Immortal and directly transformed into a dragon in the wind, stepping into the realm of Seven Refinements True Immortal.

If it weren't for the relatively short time, he probably would have had a chance to refine ten times into a true immortal.

after all.

The Unyielding City was once a glorious place. Going back to the era before that fourth-realm god-demon, even a Xuan Yu Immortal Ancestor was born there.

That person was none other than his ancestor's master.

"for freedom!"

"For the sake of future generations!"

"Kill!"

At this moment, tens of thousands of cultivators seemed to transform into a torrent of steel capable of destroying everything, following in Feng Canyun's footsteps, fearlessly charging towards the Divine General of the Surveillance Division in the sky!
"You're asking for death!" "They've rebelled!"

"I think you've really rebelled! You dare to rebel against the Heavenly Court? Do you even know that the Heavenly Court has three realms of Golden Immortals, and even a fourth realm of Supreme Great Luo Immortals..."

"I think you guys are really crazy!"

Zhao Wuji was both shocked and furious!
He never imagined that these "lowly people," whom he usually regarded as pigs and dogs, would actually dare to raise their butcher's knives against him, the Xuanxian Divine General who represented the majesty of the Heavenly Court, after just a few words from that young man in white!

But the good thing is.

He glanced at Su Chen and noticed that the white-robed Taoist master didn't seem to intend to make a move.
It seems... perhaps... they are wary of the Heavenly Court?

Also.

After all, it's the Heavenly Court.

It boasts more than one Supreme Heavenly Court at the Fourth Realm! It is also one of the synonyms for the Heavenly Dao.

"A bunch of rabble! They dare to rival the brilliance of the moon?!"

"Dragnet!"

Zhao Wuji formed hand seals, and a golden net composed of pure "order" laws descended from the sky, intending to wipe out all the "rebels" who dared to resist below!
However, just as the golden net was about to fall...

Su Chen's calm voice rang out once again.

"I said."

"Your 'order' is 'disorder'."

Om-!
The golden net, which should have been indestructible and represented the laws of heaven, suddenly froze, its incredibly stable structure of laws halting abruptly!
Then, just like a program injected with countless erroneous instructions, it began an uncontrollable... self-collapse! Disintegration!

The golden light dissipated, transforming into a chaotic torrent of energy that filled the sky. Far from harming the cultivators below, it instead caused Zhao Wuji himself to experience a surge of qi and blood!

"puff!"

Zhao Wuji was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of golden divine blood!

His face was filled with endless, ghost-like horror!

"impossible!"

"You...you actually managed to tamper with the laws of Heaven?!"

"You are not a Xuan Yu Immortal, nor a Golden Immortal, you are a fourth-realm... a Great Immortal Luo? Only a Great Immortal Luo can manipulate the laws of Heaven..."

This is no longer a contest of strength!

This is a dimensional reduction attack from the very root of "rules"!

Below, the tens of thousands of cultivators would not give him any chance to catch his breath!
"Now! Kill!"

Feng Canyun seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The ancient longsword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, and he slashed towards Zhao Wuji's head!
"Do not--!"

Zhao Wuji let out a desperate roar!
He tried to dodge, but his body stiffened for a moment due to the backlash from the laws!
That instant of stiffness determined his...life or death!
"Hey!"

A head, its eyes wide open in death, shot skyward!

Zhao Wuji, the highest-ranking official of the Heavenly Court stationed on Jianmu Ancient Star and a peak-level Xuanxian inspector!

Fall!

He was beheaded amidst a vast army by a group of "ants" in his eyes!

"Bastard!"

"How dare they kill our inspector!"

"You're done!"

Inside the Inspectorate of Unyielding City, the remaining celestial soldiers and generals did not hesitate for a moment. After uttering their harsh words, they immediately used the escape methods they had prepared.

In an instant, streaks of light were everywhere as people fled.

however.

Feng Canyun was prepared for this. He unfurled a traditional Chinese ink painting from his sleeve, coldly and solidly depicting the heavenly soldiers and generals before him.

"You're being sent back to Heaven to report this?"

"How can it be!"

"Zhao Wuji has already perished. There is no second Xuanxian among you, so get in here."

boom!
As the immortal power was activated, the entire painting, like a real world, rapidly expanded before the eyes of these heavenly soldiers and generals.

next moment.

"not good!"

"This is the Devouring Heaven Scroll, a very famous treasure on Jianju Star back then. It was once the magic weapon of a Xuan Yu Immortal!"

"Ah...they want to imprison us. It's not that the scroll has grown larger, but that we are being pulled into the Devouring Heaven Scroll..."

soon.

There was silence.

There were no true immortals from the Heavenly Court present...

"Won!"

"We...won!"

After a brief silence, the entire Unyielding City erupted in a jubilant cheer that seemed to shake the heavens!
They succeeded!
They used their own hands to shatter the shackles that had weighed on them for countless years!
For the first time, they tasted the flavor of "freedom"!
Next.

It means spreading Christianity throughout the entire planet Jianmu.

The Ten Refinement True Immortals and the Three Talents Mysterious Jade Immortals will begin a terrifying transformation starting from Jianmu Star.

……

……

Time flies.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

After capturing the Heavenly Court's outpost in Unyielding City, Su Chen's new religion, led by Feng Canyun, rapidly expanded and swept across the entire city.

that's it.

The "transformation" of Jianmu Ancient Star was successfully completed in silence.

This night.

Su Chen opened his eyes and woke up. Looking up at the entire star, he could clearly sense that all the threads connecting the planet had been broken.

It has broken away from the mythological era.

And replace it.

He could clearly sense that the planet, and the threads connecting the countless lives on it, were all connected to him.

His celestial status, which he attained in later generations, finally found support in this past era of decline.

"can."

"Finally, it's no longer water without roots."

"Hold your position steady."

"Sooner or later, I will be able to devour the entire Mythical Heavenly Dao, which is the lingering remnant left behind by the fallen Immortal Ancestor..."

"I have a feeling that if I can really do it, it will be of great benefit to me when I become the fifth realm in the future."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

He also knew clearly that this was just the beginning.

He stood atop the Listening Wind Pavilion, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space, looking towards the distant, lofty... Central Divine Court.

He could clearly sense that an immense, supreme will, powerful enough to make even the stars tremble, had cast its cold gaze upon this remote star region where the "fire of revolution" had just been ignited.

The Way of Heaven has been disturbed.

after all.

Previously, there were only thirty to fifty beings below the level of True Immortals. Once they escaped its control, it was difficult for it to detect them.

Now it is a star, and all the billions of living beings within it are no longer under his control.

Even if it's incredibly stupid, it should know there's a problem. (End of Chapter)
