Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 962 True Lord
For a moment, the many gods and celestial lords who were hiding in the shadows and watching the entrance froze, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The way that figure broke through the formation just now was too casual, as light as brushing away a speck of dust, forming a glaring contrast with the "Binding God and Locking Heaven Formation" that they had painstakingly set up.

"Who is this person?!" A shocked and angry voice exploded first, and the god who spoke clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

That great formation was set up by seven Heavenly Lords and twelve Divine Lords working together. Even ordinary True Lords would have to put in some effort to break it. How could someone who seemed insignificant easily break through it?

"The grand formation we spent three days and three nights setting up, he passed right through without even pausing!" Another divine thought spread through the void with an incredulous tremor.

This is totally unreasonable!
"Damn it! We can't let him go any further! Stop him!" You Tianjun couldn't contain his anger. His palm was already glowing with divine power, ready to intervene at any moment.

……

Countless divine thoughts intertwined and collided in the void, and emotions of anger, surprise, and fear spread like a tide, even the surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this oppressive atmosphere.

Ling Xiao seemed oblivious to this, his steps unwavering as he continued walking straight in, following the most central direction he sensed.

His gaze swept over the hidden restrictions and lurking guards along the way, but he didn't even lift his eyelids, as if those means that could threaten the God-King were nothing more than roadside pebbles.

A moment later, a magnificent hall appeared before us.

The hall is built of dark gold stones, and the eaves are carved with lifelike mythical beast patterns. The hall doors are tightly closed, but they exude a heavy sense of pressure. This is the core of the anti-organization - the Hall of Righteousness.

The moment the palace doors were pushed open, an even more powerful aura rushed out.

Inside the main hall, more than twenty figures sat on both sides. On the left was a powerful and fierce Divine Lord, and on the right was a Heavenly Lord with even greater aura. Each figure represented the top combat power of a faction.

The figure sitting in the main seat at the top wore a long black robe and was surrounded by almost tangible spiritual energy, his aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

That's the peak of the Heavenly Monarch realm, just one step away from the threshold of "True Monarch"!
Ling Xiao glanced at everyone in the hall, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He nodded to himself, "Sixteen Golden Immortals, five Taiyi Realm... This anti-organization does have some foundation."

He knew perfectly well that the cultivation system of this chaotic world was completely different from that of the prehistoric world—the Nine Revolutions corresponded to True Immortals, Heavenly Monarchs were comparable to Golden Immortals, and True Monarchs were close to Great Luo Immortals. The "Golden Immortals" and "Taiyi" he mentioned were just rough analogies based on the prehistoric world's realms. As for the more detailed differences in realms, he had no interest in delving into them.

"who are you?"

Seeing Ling Xiao barge in, the peak Heavenly Monarch expert sitting at the top asked, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of doubt and wariness, "You look like you only have the cultivation of a fifth-level mortal, but you're definitely more than that, aren't you?"

“How could that be?” Ling Xiao nodded matter-of-factly, and then said, “I really only have the fifth level of cultivation, but in terms of Daoist cultivation, I am just a little bit higher than you.”

His gaze swept over the crowd like a cold lightning bolt, and then he said casually, "Sigh, you people are all mixed up. Even if I suffer a loss, I'll take you all."

Upon hearing this, the gods and celestial rulers present were all stunned, and then their faces showed shock and anger.

A mixed bag? Will you take us in?
They are all powerful figures in their own right; when have they ever been treated with such contempt?

Divine thoughts surged in the void, and the anger grew stronger.

"Boy, do you know what you're saying?" A tall, imposing deity stood up and stared coldly at Ling Xiao. "You were brought here by Mingyu and were able to penetrate the great formation, so you may indeed have some skills, but you're just a fifth-level cultivator right now!"

"Oh? Do you have a problem with that?" Ling Xiao chuckled. "No problem. If you don't want to, just turn around and leave."

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"But don't blame me if you're all killed later," Ling Xiao added.

"They were all killed?" The peak Heavenly Monarch expert (the leader of the Reverse Organization) sitting at the top suddenly spoke.

“Not bad.” Ling Xiao nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed eastward, “They’ve arrived.” As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura swept in from afar.

The aura was vast and majestic, as awe-inspiring as the sea, causing the expressions of the gods and celestial rulers present to change drastically.

Not only that, the main hall trembled slightly, and even the great formation protecting and guarding the headquarters made a "creaking" sound, as if it would break at any moment!
"coming!"

The next moment, the leader of the anti-organization suddenly stood up and turned to look into the distance.

Dozens of figures were rushing in, and the leader was actually a powerful expert at the True Monarch realm!
"You traitors, so you were hiding here all along!"

A cold voice rang out, and a radiant light descended from the sky. A figure bearing an intricate divine halo slowly stepped down from the air.

Upon seeing this figure, the leader of the anti-organization's face turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wan Yun, it's you!"

“Not bad, Kuohai.” Wan Yun, radiating golden light, nodded, his tone as cold as ice, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself. “After thousands of years, you are still stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Monarch realm. I am truly disappointed. If you had followed me into the Heavenly Realm to worship the True God back then, perhaps you would have reached the True Monarch realm by now.”

"You're the one who brought them here!"

Almost instantly, the members of the anti-organization glared angrily at Ling Xiao.

"This isn't my fault." Ling Xiao shrugged and pointed at Wan Yun. "Kid, have we met before?"

"I've never seen you before." Wan Yun shook his head slightly, filled with curiosity about Ling Xiao's identity. "And who are you? With only a fifth-level cultivation, why are you here?"

“No, I am not a fifth-level cultivator.” Ling Xiao shook his head with a smile.

"You're not a fifth-level cultivator? Could you be a Heavenly Lord?" Wan Yun stared directly at Ling Xiao, a strange premonition rising in his heart—this person in front of him was definitely not simple, and might even bring him a life-or-death crisis.

"No, nor is it the Heavenly Emperor."

As Ling Xiao spoke and laughed, he took a step forward, and the energy within his body suddenly surged.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous gods and celestial lords, his cultivation level broke through once again, reaching the sixth level!
Seeing this, many powerful figures present were stunned, their faces filled with shock and disbelief—sixth-level cultivation? That's it?

"Is this really your true cultivation level?" Wan Yun stared intently at Ling Xiao, unable to believe that a sixth-level cultivator could pose a threat to him.

“Not bad.” Ling Xiao nodded slightly, then turned to look at Kuo Hai, the leader of the anti-organization. “I can save your lives, but afterwards, you must obey my orders.”

"You..." Kuohai was taken aback at first, then laughed in anger, "Even if you were once a Dao Lord, now that your cultivation has fallen to this level, how can you possibly defeat a True Lord?"

"It's just that you have a narrow vision." Ling Xiao chuckled and slowly walked towards Wan Yun. "Come on, let me see just how much strength this so-called True Monarch of this world really has."

"Hmph, you're courting death!" Wan Yun sneered. "No matter which celestial realm or demonic abyss you come from, you are destined to die today!"

The next moment, Wan Yun made his move.

A raging wind howled forth, and a beam of golden light condensed, transforming into a giant finger that pointed down at the crowd below!

This finger strike stretched for thousands of miles, as if it would crush all the rebels below, along with the mountains and the earth!
A fierce wind howled, golden light shone brightly, and the entire world was enveloped by this finger, giving people an irresistible sense of oppression.

"The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger? Interesting. Then I'll return the favor with a finger!"

Ling Xiao chuckled, raised his right hand, extended his middle finger, and gently pointed it at the giant finger in the sky that resembled a pillar!
