Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1170 Seven evil spirits emerge and a great disaster appears (44)

With a single punch, Yin Gujin stopped the massive earthquake that had spread to Shenjing and even beyond Shenjing Pass, and straightened up.

He didn't even glance at the awe-inspiring and expectant gazes of the surrounding celestial officials, but instead solemnly looked at An Jing: "You've certainly chosen a good time. These past few days, with the change of the Heavenly Supervisor's laws, many pragmatic officials have gone to the provinces to adjust the feng shui, leaving only projections..."

[But you immediately shattered the foundation of the earth's vein network, rendering the teleportation ineffective and cutting off reinforcements... Hmph, if the Emperor were willing to take action, no one could penetrate the layers of arrays and directly descend upon the center of the capital.]

[But you were invited by the 'Emperor', and unexpectedly, both 'Heaven's Mandate' and 'Emperor's Blood' attacked at the same time.]

He paused, his voice growing increasingly heavy; "But I can't be bothered with all that. If His Majesty wants to play, let him play. There are only billions of people; they're everywhere. Even if they die, there will be more."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens or even hundreds of majestic phantoms suddenly appeared behind him in the shattered sky above the capital.

Those phantoms were clad in various armors, wielding divine weapons, their auras as deep as the sea, their pressure freezing the void. The weakest among them were genuine True Monarchs, while the most powerful among them were even more imposing than the four clan heads who had just joined forces!
These figures are the commanders and generals of the various territories under the Great Chen regime, who usually only hold discussions in the capital via projection.

At this moment, they are using Yin Gujin's divine power to traverse endless time and space, and are about to send their true forms here!
A terrifying will, powerful enough to overturn heaven and earth, firmly locked onto Anjing.

"Now, in peace," Yin Gujin looked directly at the young martial artist before him and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "I have a question for you."

What exactly is your purpose in attacking Shenjing?

"What are you doing?"

Faced with Yin Gujin's extremely serious question, An Jing was rather puzzled.

He chuckled, genuinely finding it amusing, and raised his hand, pointing to the sky: "Don't you know how to look up and see unusual celestial phenomena?"

Beneath the ever-revolving, rebellious five stars, beneath the crimson light that reached to the heavens and earth, even staining the sky blood-red, An Jing spread his arms wide: "I am the Seven Fiends Calamity."

Upon hearing this, not only did the heavens and earth fall silent, but even the dust was rendered speechless.

"The Seven Calamities?!"

"How can it be!"

Even though the facts were so obvious, many officials still quickly shook their heads in denial: "How could there be a Seven Fiends Tribulation where both parents are alive, relatives and friends are numerous, and the sect is not destroyed?!"

"The will of Heaven cannot be deduced by common sense. When a natural master creates a method that defies Heaven, there will be strange phenomena such as the reversal of celestial movements..."

Of course, those who have such self-deceiving thoughts are already terrified.

They are unwilling to accept... unwilling to accept that this possibility has befallen them while they are still in office and in power.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Even if you are, what reason do you have to do these things?!"

"Da Chen isn't so corrupt that it needs the Seven Fiends Tribulation to deal with it, is it?"

"Furthermore, if you are one of the Seven Fiends, then..."

Of course, the others weren't much better off. Most of the officials shuddered and instinctively tried to find a way to escape through the void—but before it was Anjing, now it was Yin Gujin's power sealing off space and time, so they couldn't escape at all.

However, a small number of people still turned their bewildered gazes toward the throne and toward the young emperor who had remained silent throughout.

Before the throne, Grand Tutor Hong, who had been silent all along, let out a deep breath after hearing this answer.

He slowly turned his head, looking at Xuan Mingyu beside him with a complicated expression.

On the throne, the silent young emperor met his gaze and smiled.

Xuan Mingyu slowly rose from the throne that symbolized the position of Xuan Tian Shangdi.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire court, all the generals, and the officials, he flicked his sleeves and said in a light and matter-of-fact tone, "Yes."

"I am the master of nature."

boom!
As if in response to his words, strange phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth once again!

Before the chaos caused by the arrival of the Seven Calamities had subsided, countless stars appeared out of thin air on the other side of the sky. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise... the Four Symbols and the Twenty-Eight Mansions, countless stars rapidly rotated across the celestial canopy, reflecting and clashing with the blood-red calamity stars, yet coexisting strangely.

Two completely different destinies descended upon one place at the same time, causing everything to turn upside down and become chaotic!
A double destiny descends.

Beyond the sky.

Holding the Heavenly Martial Artifact [Southern Dipper's Life-Giving Power], Gu Yeqi stood far away outside the capital, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the strange phenomenon at the top of the sky, and then back towards the capital.

It wasn't that she didn't want to support An Jing, but on that kind of battlefield, even though Nan Dou Zhu Sheng had developed sentience and could protect her, she absolutely couldn't help An Jing.

Not to mention... she has her own mission.

Behind Gu Yeqi, beams of light swirled and stopped around Nan Dou Zhu Sheng.

A cauldron, a bell, a sword, and a suit of armor.

【Zhenhong Fujiang Ding】

【The Four Bells that Guard the Palace】

【Xuanming Zhenwu Heavenly King Sword】

[Heavenly Heart Repelling True Dragon Armor]

The Lingxiao Imperial Weapons, which guard the four directions of Dachen, crossed the endless void and arrived at the vicinity of Shenjing the moment it was attacked. However, at this moment, the four Lingxiao-level beings confronted each other in pairs, with Nan Dou Zhusheng as the center.

[Heavenly King Sword, what's wrong with you? You stopped me when Shenjing was attacked?]

The divine sense of the Four Extremes Bell was profound, yet its voice sounded like that of a young man, carrying an arrogant and domineering air: "I warn you, even if you want to rebel, now is not the time. If the Heavenly Sea, Earthly Vein, and Netherworld Three Realms Grand Array is broken, the old man will awaken, and we will never again enjoy such fine incense offerings."

【Four Extremes, are you an idiot? I really did steal all your spiritual essence】

Perhaps because the Lingxiao Imperial Weapons don't need to adhere to human etiquette, or perhaps because these Imperial Weapons, having already developed sentience, existed in the mortal realm, the True Dragon Armor beside it emitted a melodious, girlish voice, though the content was rather vulgar: "Back then, Xuan Guangshao (the late emperor) was doing a great job revitalizing the nation. Once Xiao Nandou also becomes Lingxiao, with the two central pillars of Shenjing and Beijiang, one yang and one yin, we can combine them into the 'Immortal Heaven Yin Yang Five Virtues Perpetual Array.' At that time, let's not even talk about trivial matters like everyone cultivating the Dao to the Nine Heavens; perhaps there's even hope of achieving Dao Integration. At worst, I'll just shatter and go to sleep. I'm truly exhausted!"

[The result is that you and Zhenjiang Ding were cowards, afraid to face the old man, causing the Guangshao Grand Formation to backfire and lead to your own demise. Guangyun also perished afterward, and our once prosperous Great Chen is now in ruins—now that the great calamity has arrived, do you still want to support those officials who don't even have Xuan family bloodlines?]

"Back then, fewer people died supporting them. Otherwise, would you have wanted Da Chen to directly transform into the Heavenly Demon Kingdom?" Zhenjiang Ding's voice was steady, but now tinged with anxiety: "Xiao Hong and the others' plan was also good; at least they could continue to suppress the old man and the Heavenly Demon. Do you intend to be resurrected by the old man and refined into one of his Demonic Paths?"

"Now that the Seven Fiends Tribulation has emerged, and Xuan Mingyu is also destined for greatness, are you still planning to be cowardly? Xuan Tianji is long dead; what survives is only his obsessive Dao spirit. I am his sword; don't I know that?" The voice of the Heavenly King Sword was the calmest, like that of a grandmaster warrior who had witnessed all the trials of battle: "I think it's time. The Xuan family has ruled the heavens for 30,000 years, but they haven't done a good job. It's better for them to go down to the mortal realm sooner rather than later."

If reasoning fails, then let's fight!

【war!】

【war!】

【war!】

Everything happened in an instant. The four Lingxiao Imperial Weapons were now intertwined in their laws and principles, transforming into four large stars in the sky to fight each other. They were clearly restrained by each other and caught in an internal struggle, unable to come to the rescue at all.

But in a sense, the infighting among the forces of protection... is also a form of silent support for those who destroy and overthrow.

And in the far reaches of the void, in the four directions of the Northern Mystic Sacrifice Continent.

The Four Seasons Dragon Gods, the Flying Tiger of Mount Tai, and the Haotian Mirror guarded the eight directions. Their auras were vast, blocking all the prying eyes cast from other Heavenly Sects in the Huaixu Realm.

[Internal Affairs of Beixuan Sacrificial Continent]

The radiance of the Haotian Mirror illuminated the ten continents. It then leaped up, soaring to the highest point of the heavens, and emitted a thunderous roar: "Everyone, the Seven Fiends Calamity of Huaixu has arrived in our sect. If you do not wish to be caught up in this epochal tribulation..."

Get out of here!

At this moment, the entire capital city and the entire Northern Xuan Sacrifice Continent were plunged into utter chaos.
