Shennong Daojun.

Chapter 587 The Nian Beast Submits, the Crisis of Shenji City

The cook not only refused to surrender but also dared to fight back, which thoroughly enraged the Nian beast.

He originally only wanted to scare Zhao Xing, but now he really did it, and the eight cannons on both sides of his body emitted a cold blue light.

As soon as Zhao Xing took flight, he felt an immense pressure on his body. The cold blue light emanated from him and enveloped him from head to toe.

Round and round it went, it pulled me back to the ground in an instant, freezing me in place and making me unable to move.

"No one can fly before Lord Nian!"

"No matter how high you fly, can you ever fly higher than the sky?"

The Nian beast has its sights set on Zhao Xing, and it can now unleash its light at any moment, piercing through Zhao Xing.

"Cook, why did you lie to me? I've been so good to you..."

"Is your move called the Heavy Light Cannon?" Zhao Xing interrupted the Nian Beast's nonsense. "Combining talent with the divine artifact [Heavy Light] Cannon, it is indeed very powerful."

The Nian beast paused, a hint of surprise in its eyes: "How did you know? I don't remember telling you that."

Zhao Xing knew perfectly well that, at this moment, the Nian beast was clearly represented by a set of data in his eyes:
Name: Xi

[Special Race: Nian Beast]

[Realm: Peak Divine General]

[Divine Soul: Peak Divine General]

[Immortal Divine Body: A Nian beast born from the Polar Star, bestowed with immortality by the Luo Emperor.]

[Innate Divine Skill: Polaris Divine Domain; The Nian Beast can transform into the Polaris. The aurora possesses extremely strong destructive power. When transforming into a star, the Nian Beast is formless and intangible, only suffering mental damage.]

[Innate Divine Skill: Spring and Autumn Destiny Sequence, June's Bright Sun; The Year Beast possesses the ability to control the Heavenly Stems, using the timing of the seasons to attack the fate of its enemies.]

[Divine Artifacts: Chongguang Divine Cannon, Xuanyi Divine Spear, Zhanmeng Hoof, Rouzhao Star Realm, Qiangyu Life Lock, Zhuyong Sacrificial Spirit, Shangzhang Book.]

The Nian Beast is indeed very strong. It has two kinds of innate divine skills and seven divine objects, all of which are compatible with its talents and are equivalent to its natal divine weapons.

Others are considered extraordinary if they have one divine weapon of their own, but the Nian Beast has seven.

Moreover, they all come with powerful divine power.

"Cook, you..."

The Nian beast wanted to say something, but Zhao Xing had vanished without a trace.

Missing?
How can it be?

The Nian beast's eyes widened.

The Eightfold Light God Cannon can stabilize his spirit, body, and mind. How could the cook possibly escape?

Zhao Xing didn't actually escape; he simply shrank.

He unleashed a martial artist's divine skill, the Rice Grain Chaos Technique, making him smaller than a grain of sand and completely inconspicuous in the cold light.

The rice grain of light found a specific spot and crashed into the barrier that resembled divine runes.

"Pong!"

A cold light flickered, and Zhao Xing emerged, growing back to the height of a person.

"What? You actually escaped?" The Nian beast was somewhat shocked.

"The Heavenly Stems are destined to shine brightly, and Geng and Xin will rotate in the West." Zhao Xing's eyes emitted a faint, cold light, which was of the same origin as the light emanating from the cannons on both sides of the Nian Beast's body.

"Lord Nian, let's have a calm talk."

"Damn it!!" The Nian Beast roared. He remembered that Zhao Xing was now also a God of Heavenly Timing. The cook was special and might have even awakened a God of Heavenly Timing skill.

Zhao Xing was still using his original method, so how could the Nian beast listen to him or remain calm?
"You're just as despicable as Gu Xiao!"

With a leap, the Nian beast also shrank, becoming miniature.

Only its single horn was long and thin, almost as long as its body, resembling a long spear.

It was incredibly fast, reaching Zhao Xing almost instantly.

"Mysterious Divine Spear, Zhanmeng Hoof".

In Zhao Xing's eyes, the Nian beast's horn and four hooves appeared, its body transformed into lines, and rays of light were transmitted to the horn and hooves, which themselves radiated golden light.

The All-Seeing Eye played a powerful role at this moment, revealing the true nature of any innate skills or divine objects used by the Nian Beast in Zhao Xing's eyes.

"So this is the mystery of the Heavenly Eye."

"Nothing can be hidden under the aurora. My Heavenly Eye was created after the breakthrough of the Heavenly Timing Technique. The enemy's every move is no secret to me. I can see their strength and weakness, which allows me to find their flaws and weaknesses smoothly."

However, being able to see it is one thing, but being able to grasp it is another.

The Nian beast's hooves trod on the timeline, a speed that can no longer be described simply as speed.

For example, if the Nian beast launches its attack at 1:15 PM, and the attack arrives at 3:45 PM, then the entire battle process should include the time points from 1:15 PM to 3:45 PM.

However, [Zhanmeng Ti] caused the Nian Beast to skip the middle time point, starting its attack at 1:15 PM and going straight to the attack landing point at 3:45 PM.

It cannot be captured in the middle, which is equivalent to its non-existence, and it cannot be twisted or deflected by attacks.

"The moment it's activated, you're hit. This divine object is truly powerful. No wonder Du Yun couldn't defend against it; he's a martial god in close combat."

As Zhao Xing sighed, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he was sent flying backward.

"boom!"

His body crashed heavily to the ground.

Because the terrain of the Nine Netherworld Palace was incredibly solid and impossible to destroy, Zhao Xing suddenly sprang up again.

After bouncing and scraping on the ground three times, Du Yun, who had just stood up, was bumped into by Zhao Xing.

"boom!"

Zhao Xing immediately got up and returned to the battlefield, while Du Yun crashed into the gate of the Dao Palace, his ribs shattering on the ground.

"No, buddy, we bumped into each other. You're okay, but I broke a rib?"

The divine fire in Du Yun's eyes looked somewhat bewildered.

He's a Qi Sect martial artist; logically, Zhao Xing shouldn't be able to defeat him.

"The resilience and defensive capabilities of the Primordial Divine Body are truly perfect."

Zhao Xing lifted the tattered robe and saw that his sternum was healing rapidly; the blow had only left a small bloody hole.

The remaining shockwave dispersed three times.

The Extreme Continent Technique made Zhao Xing's Primordial Divine Body resemble ancient divine veins, with his muscles constantly undulating and undergoing microscopic earthquakes, evenly distributing the impact power.

Another portion of the power was absorbed by the boundary core and transmitted to the empty inner world.

Similarly, a portion was also absorbed by the Great Sun Qi Sea.

Therefore, although the Xuan Yi Divine Spear embedded in the horn of the Nian Beast was unparalleled in attack power, it was not a weapon that could be used against Zhao Xing without any follow-up attacks.

It punctured a small hole, causing minor injury, and that was it.

"You can actually stand up..."

The Nian beast's eyes were somewhat solemn.

He felt that the cook had become a completely different person after going to the Devouring Heaven Realm.

Twenty-three True Spirit Tribulations—this is an accumulation that surpasses even the limits of Gu Luohe's abilities. Gu Luohe only underwent twenty-two True Spirit Tribulations before becoming a god.

He didn't know if this was unprecedented, but compared to Gu Luohe, no one in the entire Desolate Domain camp had a higher record than Gu Luohe, even Bowei was only an 18th Tribulation True Spirit who became a god.

Then Zhao Xing still has three origins from the God of Origin, and his Hunyuan Divine Body is naturally strong enough.

"Let's see how many hits you can take!"

The Nian beast's form flickered, and it charged again.

The Xuan Yi Divine Spear and the Zhan Meng Hoof flashed, stabbing Zhao Xing again.

This time, however, Zhao Xing grasped the unicorn.

However, the Nian beast and its location had already reached the southeast of the square.

"Standing atop the southeastern peak, his enlightenment is reborn, his comprehension is astonishing." A pair of eyes flickered within the massive black vortex above the Nine Netherworld Palace, revealing a hint of admiration.

"You learn as you fight, and the same move won't work on him the second time."

The Nian beast was stunned in the plaza below.

He never expected that the cook would be able to grasp the Xuan Yi Divine Spear that grew from his single horn.

"It must be because I'm too hungry and have no energy!"

The Nian beast pulled out forcefully, changed direction, and stabbed at Zhao Xing again.

The result remained unchanged; after a muffled thud, the man and the beast reappeared in the southeast corner of the square.

"Lord Nian," Zhao Xing remained calm, "can we talk now?"

"Dream on!" The Nian beast was in a bad temper and stabbed repeatedly.

No matter how many times they tried, the final result was always the same: they would appear in the southeast corner of the square with Zhao Xing.

"What are they doing? Why are they just sitting there motionless?"

Du Yun couldn't tell that the Nian beast and Zhao Xing had actually fought many times. In his eyes, the two of them suddenly stopped moving in the southeast corner.

Lu Ming felt the same way.

"you ask me?"

"I'm even about to die."

Lu Ming was still completely enveloped by dense lightning.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Du Yun hurriedly came to untie the lightning wire, but as soon as the bone touched the lightning wire, it turned black.

Du Yun broke several bones in his hand before he could clear half of Lu Ming's lightning lines.

This is the only way for now; Du Yun gave him a drop of blood to keep him alive.

Looking back at the battlefield, new changes have occurred.

The Nian beast, located in the southeast corner, had its single horn grasped by Zhao Xing once again.

Suddenly, tiny specks of starlight appeared on my body.

Zhao Xing frowned, because the Nian Beast had activated four divine skills at the same time, and all four skills were combined with divine objects.

These are the Gentle Star Realm, where a cluster of stars surrounds the Nian Beast, each star flashing in turn according to the dynamic changes of the Heavenly Stems.

As a certain star lit up, the divine spear broke through his hand's seal and forcefully pierced his right shoulder.

This is clearly a combination of some kind of enhanced divine skill and divine object.

Then came a "click" sound.

Zhao Xing discovered that a floating copper lock had appeared on his hands, feet, and neck.

The second set of divine skills and divine items: the Powerful Life Lock.

Zhao Xing even sensed that his own life palace and soul had also developed the same copper lock formed by soul power.

swoosh~
The next moment, Zhao Xing felt his soul float up.

He was actually forced to separate his divine essence from his body.

This is the third set of divine skills and divine items: Zhu Yong Sacrifice Spirit!
hum~
The Nian beast's body suddenly shone brightly, and it spat out a book—the Book of the Previous Chapter.

A second Nian beast was quickly formed, but this Nian beast was black and white, without any other colors.

Moreover, he is standing upright, holding a book in his hands, on which are written four characters: Spring and Autumn Annals Order.

"Cook, once the twenty-four-star cycle is complete, your life will be over."

The Nian beast's true form remained still, but the Nian beast in its human-standing state moved freely: "If we remain locked in this stalemate, you will surely die in six months."

Zhao Xing's soul looked down at his physical body and the life lock on his body: "This is the Spring and Autumn Destiny Order, June Zhaoyang?"

“Not bad!” the Nian beast answered the question subconsciously again.

“Lord Nian Beast, I didn’t tell you about my disguise in order to save my own life. Does that count as deception?” Zhao Xing remained calm.

After two rounds of clashes, he realized that the Nian Beast, which possessed an immortal body, was also impossible to kill if it transformed into the Polar Star.

Looking back at the battle in the Thousand Feathers Great World now, Zhao Xing guessed that the person behind Yi Ren only wanted to capture the Nian Beast and had not considered the option of killing it.

After a round of fighting, the Nian beast has calmed down a bit.

He attempted to renegotiate with the Nian beast.

Unexpectedly, the Nian beast became agitated again when the topic of deception came up: "It counts, of course it counts!"

"You people just love playing word games!"

"Lord Nian, who has ever deceived you?"

At this moment, Zhao Xing's heart beat slightly, and a white light emanated from him. The gentle light unconsciously calmed the Nian beast down a bit.

Even its fur became soft and smooth, and it made the Nian beast very eager to confide in others.

The innate divine skill: [Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart].

See into the heart, soothe the heart!
"That's exactly what Gu Xiao did back then!" the Nian Beast said angrily. "He tricked us into carrying the Polar Star to travel through time and space, promising that he would set us free once we arrived, but he wants us to be forever trapped in that time and space!"

"Where is that?" Zhao Xing asked, seizing the opportunity.

"Cook, you're not being honest!" The Nian beast suddenly became wary again, seemingly sensing that it was being affected.

The Nian beast muttered to itself, "Cook, don't blame me. After I escaped, I swore an oath that I would kill anyone who dared to lie to me again..."

The inducement appears to have failed.

The negotiations broke down.

"Lord Nian, how about we make a bet?"

"Cook, what trick are you trying to pull now?" The Nian beast raised its head: "If I use this move, you will surely die."

“Since that’s the case, then for you, since you used a killing move, you’ve already killed me once,” Zhao Xing said gently. “It doesn’t count as breaking your promise.”

"Cook, what are you talking about?" The Nian beast didn't understand. Since the cook was dead, what was the point of gambling?
“I’m betting I won’t die,” Zhao Xing said. “The wager is that you have to promise me three things.”

"You can't do it."

Are you willing to bet?

"I am Lord Nian, what is there that I dare not do?!"

Zhao Xing smiled.

Standing atop the Dao Palace, the figure within the black vortex laughed: "Foolish dog who never learns."

Zhao Xing's soul began to split.

split into two.

Then it became four.

"It's no use, the life lock will always follow you..." The Nian beast shook its head.

“I want it to follow me.” The four of Zhao Xing’s souls nodded.

Then, in a sudden transformation, it split into eight.

The life lock was also forcibly split into eight parts.

The Nian monster was astonished.

Because Zhao Xing's soul hadn't weakened noticeably, but the life locks on each of his souls had lost one-eighth of their power. Zhao Xing tried to break free, but it was still difficult for him to escape.

The Nian beast thought Zhao Xing had given up because he stopped splitting and remained motionless.

However, a month later, Zhao Xing's soul split once again, turning from eight souls into sixteen.

The life lock was then divided into sixteen parts!

Another month later, his soul was split into thirty-two parts, and his life lock became thirty-two pieces.

In the third month, his soul split into sixty-four parts.

The fourth month, 128 questions!
At this moment, the strength of Zhao Xing's soul in the 128 squares had decreased very slightly, but the power of the life lock had been distributed, with each part only having one-one-one-hundred-and-eighth of its original strength!

"big big big!"

Zhao Xing let out a low roar, his soul growing larger and larger as he began to break free from the chains of fate.

"Kakaka~"

The Nian beast watched helplessly as Zhao Xing's soul burned in flames, and cracks appeared in its life lock.

Finally, in the fourth month, all of these life locks were melted!
"combine!"

After breaking free from the shackles of fate, all the souls merged again and returned to the divine body.

The Life Lock was originally designed to target the soul. With the soul no longer bound, the Life Lock on Zhao Xing's body also disappeared.

"drink!"

Zhao Xing gripped the single horn with both hands, unleashing his full power for the first time with his Primordial Divine Body.

The divine power was overwhelming, almost covering the entire square, and even the black storm above the Dao Palace was stirred up as a result.

The Primordial Divine Body possesses a 90,000-fold amplification. The Primordial Divine Power formed by the fusion of the three origins unleashes its full power, making it truly terrifying.

Zhao Xing forcefully pulled out the Nian Beast's single horn, and then unleashed his third innate divine skill, [Devouring Heaven Realm]!
This innate divine skill emanates from the core of the realm, and it shares the same origin as the Devouring Heaven Realm Sea.

The effect is to suppress the fundamental nature of the universe!
"Om~"

Gray mist filled the air, and the stars of the Nian Beast dimmed one by one as they were forced back into its body. The Book of the Previous Chapter also turned back into ink and fell to the ground.

Zhao Xing stroked his pierced left shoulder with one hand, the wound healing rapidly, and walked step by step to the Nian beast.

Driven by the instinctive fear of the Nian beast, Zhao Xing took a step forward, and Nian took a step back.

This was completely beyond his comprehension.

This is the first time that the Nian beast has been completely suppressed.

Aside from his move of transforming into a polar star, he had almost nothing that could defeat Zhao Xing.

While his body transformed into the North Star, he possessed little offensive power; his only advantage was that he remained immortal.

The polar star is immortal, and so am I, but that is only immortality; I cannot do many things like the body of the Nian beast.

"Lord Nian Beast, I have won." Zhao Xing still used the honorific title because he keenly sensed that the Nian Beast possessed a strong sense of self-esteem and vanity, and simply liked this title.

"You, you..." The Nian beast was stunned for a long time: "Cook, you really won."

"Tell me, what are the three things you want me to do? First, make it clear that you can't make me betray my race, and I can't hand over the Nine Netherworld Palace to you, otherwise I'll have nowhere to hide and I'll be found..."

The Nian beast never imagined it would lose, and is now scrambling to patch its defenses.

Zhao Xing wasn't in a hurry. His mindset had changed, and he now viewed the strong as the weak. After the Nian Beast finished speaking, he slowly said, "The first thing you need to do is help me deal with the people behind Yi Ren. I don't expect you to fight to the death, just do your best."

The Nian beast muttered to itself, thinking to itself that the cook was indeed incredibly cunning.

He had expected the cook to say, "Let us out."

But the result was that he was asked to help deal with the people behind Yi Ren.

In this way, there's no need to worry about whether or not you can get out.

“Alright, I agree. But we need to find the right time; I can’t let Gu Xiao find out.” The Nian Beast nodded.

"What about the second thing?"

“The second thing is that you need to take me to the spacetime territory where Polaris is located,” Zhao Xing said.

Polaris, this is related to Zhao Xing's growth. If his current Chaos Origin Divine Body wants to grow, all three origins are indispensable.

"No, cook, this won't do!" the Nian beast roared. "This is practically sending me to my death!"

"My escape was a carefully planned scheme by my clan, and I escaped with the help of the Nine Netherworld Palace. Going back would be suicide!"

"No, no, no!" The Nian beast took a half step back, shaking its head like a rattle drum.

Zhao Xing asked in surprise, "Since you escaped, didn't you want to release your people? You'll have to go back eventually, won't you?"

"Of course!" said the Nian beast, "Not now, I'm not strong enough yet!"

“Alright.” Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said, “Then let’s change it and wait for a suitable opportunity to go.”

"Okay, tell me the third one."

"I haven't thought of a third one yet. I'll talk about it when I do." Zhao Xing said with a smile in his eyes.

The third condition is that he must drag it out for a long time so that he can keep seeing the Nian beast.

Although we can't get in touch with Polaris for the time being, we can still obtain the essence of the heavenly timing from the Nian Beast.

“Fine,” the Nian beast said reluctantly.

Zhao Xing chatted with him for a few more minutes before walking over to Du Yun and Lü Ming.

"what's the situation?"

Du Yun is in relatively good condition, but Lü Ming is in very poor condition.

Zhao Xing walked over, grabbed the lightning wire with both hands, and easily snapped it.

He then activated the [Ancient Medical Classic], using it in conjunction with Du Yun's blood to cure the illness.

"I've reached an agreement with the Nian beast, and we can leave now."

"Really?" Du Yun was delighted, then somewhat dazed: "You mean it?"

Du Yun had no idea how Zhao Xing had managed to subdue the Nian beast!

too exaggerated!

"Brother, you went to the Devouring Heaven Sea, did you have some special encounter? How come you've become so powerful?!"

“There were some unexpected events,” Zhao Xing nodded. “Let’s talk about it outside.”

"We'll talk about that later," Du Yun suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I want to stay here,” Du Yun said. “You can take Lü Ming out.”

Zhao Xing waited for Du Yun's explanation.

“Brother, my comprehension has yielded some results. If it weren’t for the persecution by the Nian Beast, I would actually be happy to stay here and continue my comprehension.” Du Yun said, “The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is a powerful Martial God, and his Dao Court is definitely worth my time and effort to explore and comprehend.”

"As for reporting that I'm safe, you can simply go out and tell the Heavenly Palace for me."

Du Yun was thinking that if he went out, he would probably have a hard time getting back in.

The Nian beast probably wouldn't allow it either, since this is where it used to hide.

"are you sure."

Zhao Xing didn't want to stay here at all because he felt it was too dangerous.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was the overlord of the Heavenly Assembly. Before he became a half-step God Emperor, even Emperor Luo could not defeat him.

The Daoist temple left behind by such people may indeed bring great benefits, but the dangers are equally great.

My next step is to go to Shenji City and, under the arrangement of the Boundless True God, challenge Heaven and Earth to prove my Dao. There are plenty of opportunities in the world, so there's no need to take risks here.

After all, we know absolutely nothing about this place, while we have a basic understanding of Ten Directions Mountain and the place arranged by the Boundless True God, and even have an advantage there.

"I'm sure." Du Yun nodded. "You'll definitely be coming in and out of here again in the future. You haven't mentioned the third condition yet, have you?"

"Once I've mastered my cultivation, I'll go out and seek revenge on the guy who harmed me."

"Hmph, Yi Ren was killed by the Nian beast. Besides, one of his lives isn't enough to pay for it!"

The reason Du Yun was tortured and eaten by the Nian beast was because of the sneak attack by the guy impersonating Zhao Xing.

Du Yun was certainly angry, but Yi Ren was only at the late stage of the Divine Weapon realm. Without guidance from a master, how could he have achieved this?
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Given this profound cause and effect, it is only natural to find the mastermind behind Yi Ren and seek revenge in order to quell the hatred in one's heart.

"Okay, if you die, I'll collect your body."

"Hahaha, great!" Du Yun laughed heartily.

Everyone has their own ambitions, so Zhao Xing didn't try to persuade him any further.

The three of them worked diligently to recover, waiting for the Nian beast to cast its spell and leave.

……

The independent spacetime territory, Shenji City.

Since the Boundless True God forged his natal divine weapon, he declined some friends' requests to visit and enjoyed a period of peace.

However, after the Boundless True God unleashed the 'Great Time Technique,' the peaceful state of Divine Machine City was shattered.

Independent spacetime is no longer independent, but is affected by the torrent of the river of time, gradually sinking, and even giving birth to an inherent and clear channel.

That is, from the coordinates of the Thousand Feather Great World in the 342nd era before the Wilderness, one can reach the Divine Machine City.

One hundred years after Zhao Xing's 'death'.

The Xuanling History Book automatically solidified the events of the Thousand Feather Great World, and after this hundredth year, they are considered outside of those events.

Just after the first hundred years, in the seventh sun year of the 342nd era before the desolate region, a large number of people descended upon the Thousand Feather Great World.

Arrow God Ji Heng and Talisman God Wang Yue are both the deans of the Eight Star Academy of Xi Tian Divine King, and both are at the peak of the Divine General level.

But at this moment, they, along with the two Taiyue ancient tribes, were respectfully waiting in front of an eight-star altar.

The altar is octagonal, with tall bronze doors at each point framed by starry skies.

"roar~"

A mythical beast resembling a centipede emerged from the bronze gate in the southeast. Inside its shell, nebulous blood and blood were boiling, and its thousands of abdominal legs resembled bronze counting rods.

The centipede has four broken, luminous wings growing from its two sides of its back, but these are actually man-made magical artifact wings.

The left wing has a black hole above it, and the right wing has frozen solar prominences, with pale white flames leaping around them.

Arrow God Ji Heng and Talisman God Wang Yue looked up and saw Young Master Qiong Yu and a Seven Feather Priest.

Tong Yuan, a unique war beast of Xi Tian Divine King City!
One by one, the Tongyuan emerged. Arrow God Ji Heng and Talisman God Wang Yue counted them and found there were more than three hundred of them.

During this time, chariots, warships, and a large number of ancient races and mythical beasts also flew out continuously.

"Brother Ji Heng, is such a grand expedition to Shenji City really necessary?" Wang Yue exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing the troop formation.

“The Boundless True God deserves this kind of lineup.” Arrow God Ji Heng said in a low voice, “I heard that three God Kings once wanted to kill the Boundless True God.”

"One of them couldn't be found."

"The second person found the place, took one look, and left."

"The third one actually fought, but in the end he still couldn't defeat the Boundless True God."

"How can we take it down without having enough manpower?"

Wang Yue asked in surprise, "If that's the case, why fight? Besides, I heard that the Boundless True God is backed by the Feather Emperor. Although the Feather Emperor is rarely seen in the River of Time, shouldn't the Boundless True God be under his protection?"

“It’s fake.” Arrow God Ji Heng sneered, “The Boundless True God has deceived endless time and space for many years. He is not loyal to the Feather Emperor at all.”

"The God has confirmed that it is impossible for him to receive a response across the Chaos Era."

"If that's the case, even the Boundless True God has some means of self-preservation. Surely the God Venerable couldn't have gone on a distant expedition just for Young Master Qiongyu?" Wang Yue asked with some doubt.

"Of course, Qiongyu is just a grandson of the first wife, and there are many such grandsons. This is just a pretext."

“Wuliang was originally a powerful true god with a powerful backer, so he acted recklessly and no one dared to touch him. Now that it has been confirmed that his backer was fake, he still occupies three Chaos Territories.”

"Do you think we should hit him or not?"

"Oh, I understand now," Wang Yue said, suddenly realizing.

She wondered why the Heavenly King Xi would launch a distant expedition to Shenji City and even borrow passage through the Spirit Realm Era just for a grandson.

It turns out it was for the Chaos Territory.

"Don't speak, the teleportation is about to begin."

The two stopped talking because the eight bronze gates had closed.

All the gods from the Soul Crossing Division, the Divine Martial Division, the Heavenly God Guard, the Craftsman God Division, the Eight Star Academy, and all the departments of the Xi Tian Divine King City have come out.

After coming out, they all gathered around the statue, waiting for instructions.

The statue at the very center of the altar is that of the Xi Tian God King.

After everyone was assembled, the statue pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the earth.

Suddenly, a thin river of light appeared between the two fingers and the sky.

But it quickly grew larger, and many suns could be vaguely seen twinkling inside, then it slowed down, and some buildings floated by.

The river of light gradually became clear, transforming into a water portal. As a sun rose from the water, the scene behind the portal froze, revealing the location of Shenji City.

The god of sacrifice recited the proclamation:
“The evil gods are boundless, slaughtering their own kind, colluding with demons, harming living beings, and disrespecting the God Emperor… Although they have attained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, they do not purify the source, do not practice good deeds, and do not uphold righteousness.”

"By order of the Heavenly King Xi, all gods and departments shall act on behalf of Heaven, eliminate calamities, and purify the righteous path!"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, and all commands shall be obeyed!"

After the chanting was completed, a battle order was thrown from the hands of the Seven Domains Priest, which then enveloped the passage space-time, forming a second barrier outside the altar.

The Ten Directions War Order is an ancient way to initiate a divine war. It can isolate the spacetime and causality of the target area and block all kinds of teleportation. It is a way of besieging.

After the battle order barrier was formed, several more phantom images of god-kings appeared on the octagon of the altar, representing those who stood on the side of Xi Tian God-King City.

With everything prepared, the mighty army of Xi Tian Divine King City surged into the space-time tunnel and descended outside Shenji City.

In the Nine Netherworld Palace, the Nian Beast transformed into the Polar Star, forming a vast net that replaced the black sky outside the palace.

After the North Star had been orbiting the Dao Palace for twelve months, the phantom of the Nian Beast appeared in the sun and then opened its mouth wide.

The Nian beast's gaping maw is the passageway leading out of the Nine Netherworld Palace.

"Cook, you can go now. Come into my mouth."

"it is good."

Zhao Xing, carrying Lü Ming, flew towards the mouth of the Nian beast.

"Where do you want to go?"

“I still want to go back to the original point in time,” Zhao Xing said. He wanted to return to Shenji City, but the Time Page was with Lao Qing, so he had to go to the Desolate Region 342 years before, find Lao Qing, and get the Time Page back. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to travel to Shenji City on his own.

"I cannot send you back to the original point in time because a spacetime event has already occurred there, which is influenced by a very high level of power, and it must be postponed for a period of time."

"How long will it be delayed?"

"At least a hundred years."

A hundred years isn't that far off; Lao Qing should still be around.

“Okay, then a hundred years.” Zhao Xing nodded.
