We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

"General!"

Only at this moment did the heavenly soldiers and generals behind them realize, with shock and anger, what had just happened.

But how did Shen Bailian manage to do that?

How did they withstand the power of heavenly lightning under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and silently get behind the commander?

Could it be that Shen Bailian used some special ancient treasure to evade the heavenly lightning?
A host of mysteries flooded the minds of these heavenly soldiers and generals, but what shocked and angered them even more was...

how many years.

Since the founding of the Heavenly Court, for hundreds of thousands of years, even that mischievous monkey has never been so bold as to kill a Heavenly Court general without any scruples.

This is an act that leaves no way out for oneself.

This is a taboo!

[Divine Matter: 2940]

"Hmm?" Shen Bailian looked at the ink-wash subtitles in front of him, a slight ripple appearing in his eyes, and the divine matter inexplicably increased by a few more points.

After slaying the celestial general, the general's true spirit escaped, but it seemed to have captured and absorbed a trace of its essence.

As his strength increased, the difficulty of obtaining divine matter decreased, and the scope of acquisition expanded.

Only then was one of the main generals killed, and there were still 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals remaining on the scene.

Thinking of this, Shen Bailian's excitement surged, and he turned his greedy gaze to the remaining heavenly soldiers and generals. It seemed that this time he was going to have a great harvest.

Each heavenly general can provide a few points of divine matter, so these 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals can provide tens of thousands of points of divine matter.

That shouldn't be too much, right?

Shen Bailian suddenly had a thought: Is the strength of this Heavenly General a little too weak? Can such strength be called the Heavenly Court?
However, this thought was fleeting.

Since we're already here, and one of the Heavenly Generals has already been killed, instead of thinking too much, we should try our best to obtain as much divine matter as possible.

The situation has now reached a point where it is difficult to resolve.

"Form the formation, Small Heavenly Cycle Star Formation!" A voice filled with rage suddenly rang out, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals subconsciously activated their techniques, transforming into planets and becoming a unified whole.

With an unparalleled aura, it pressed down on Shen Bailian; this time, it wasn't the pressure of Heaven's will, but pure, forceful suppression. A great battle was about to erupt.

Whoosh!
The simultaneous appearance of three yang energies astonished the world.

Shen Bailian showed no fear and charged into the army formation composed of heavenly soldiers and generals. These heavenly soldiers and generals would eventually become his powerful resources.

The primordial land of the Heavenly Court, the Palace of Rejuvenation.

A figure slowly emerged in the empty hall. Judging from his appearance, it was the Heavenly General whose head had been crushed by Shen Bailian earlier.

The "Heavenly Questions" in the Chu Ci states: "Before the constellation Horn appears at dawn, where is the radiant spirit hidden?" The "radiant spirit" refers to the divine light itself.

“Fuyao” means “to restore the light of the divine form and to recreate the glory of the battle spirit.”

The heavenly soldiers and generals are an indispensable and crucial link in the Heavenly Court system. For this huge and bloated organization, every heavenly soldier and general is an indispensable source of labor.

In addition, given the unique nature of the Investiture of the Gods, which only records and imprisons true spirits, the heavenly soldiers became a reusable weapon from the very beginning of the Heavenly Court's establishment.

Once the heavenly soldiers are killed in battle, the true spirits will...
This is one of the key reasons why the heavenly soldiers dared to directly confront even powerful enemies.

After all, some of the heavenly soldiers were cultivators who ascended from small worlds. These people ascended to the Heavenly Court and inscribed their true spirits into the Investiture of the Gods in order to live as long as heaven and earth and enjoy endless lifespan.

Instead of becoming pawns and cannon fodder.

"Those who defy the heavens these days are getting stronger and stronger."

The heavenly general slowly emerged from the pool, his battle armor naturally draped over his muscular body, restoring his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor.

As a heavenly general commanding 100,000 heavenly soldiers, although he was only the lowest-ranking heavenly general, he still possessed the cultivation of a celestial being.

The fact that the mortal martial artist was able to kill him in one blow, despite the suspicion of a sneak attack, does not negate the sheer power of his strength.

However, the stronger this mortal warrior became, the more the heavenly general felt sorry for him. Mortals who wanted to defy the heavens were ultimately doomed.

Only by conforming to the way of Heaven can one sit high above the river of time, living a long and prosperous life while looking down upon the mortal world.

After finishing his deliberations, the Heavenly General, as was his usual practice, began to check his own condition. Although he was protected by the Investiture of the Gods, this action was merely superfluous.

However, over tens of thousands of years, the heavens have etched this into their very instincts.

"what?!"

In the blink of an eye, the heavenly general's exclamation echoed through the silent Fuyao Palace.

This prompted the two guards outside the door to warn, "Loud noise is forbidden inside the Fuyao Hall. Anyone who violates this rule will be struck by ten bolts of lightning."

"Now that you have been resurrected, leave Fuyao Palace immediately."

In the past, Tian would have surely kept silent, heeded the guards' warnings, and left the Fuyao Palace, but this time he seemed not to hear them at all.
The Heavenly General discovered that a portion of his cultivation had inexplicably disappeared for some unknown reason; that is, his original cultivation of over a million years had suddenly vanished by several hundred years.

Although it was only one in ten thousand, how sharp was the celestial being's perception?

"What, what... what's going on?" The Heavenly General dared not be careless, as this was something that had never happened since his true spirit was inscribed on the Investiture of the Gods.

For tens of thousands of years, the Heavenly Generals have been resurrected from the Palace of Rebirth hundreds of times.
He was clear-headed and detached, and quickly discovered the problem.

The origin is his origin!

The Heavenly General discovered that a part of his own essence was inexplicably missing. He was shocked and furious. Who was it? Who dared to plunder the essence of a Heavenly Immortal and dared to attack a Heavenly General in the Heavenly Court?

Don't you want to live anymore?
This is utterly outrageous!
Could it be that some high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court tampered with the Fuyao Palace? The Heavenly General quickly dismissed this idea, as the probability of such a thing was too low.

Could it be that same person who defied the heavens before? That mortal martial artist?!
Upon realizing this, Tian's shock and anger vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of joy.

If this is true, then he will completely shed his identity as an ordinary celestial soldier! (End of Chapter)
