The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

"Good!" The Lord of the Styx nodded, indicating that the Primordial Celestial Venerable should go first.

Yuanshi Tianzun had no doubts and tore through space to head towards the chaos beyond the heavens.

Yaochi's face lit up with joy; she knew she was saved.

But before she could even feel happy for a few seconds, the Styx Cult Master's killing beam suddenly appeared in front of her.

She suddenly felt darkness before her eyes, and when she looked back, there was nothing but emptiness. Her primordial spirit had been annihilated by the killing law of the Styx Master.

"Styx, you are utterly unworthy of being called a saint."

Yuanshi Tianzun never expected that the Styx Lord would pull this stunt.

By the time he realized it, Yaochi's primordial spirit had already collapsed, and she could no longer even reincarnate.

The Celestial Lord of the Primordial Beginning did not care about Yaochi's death.

But the Styx Cult Leader's actions were a real slap in the face for him.

With a furious roar, Yuanshi Tianzun returned from the chaos, holding the Pangu Banner, and with a sudden swing, a chaotic sword aura shot out.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, why be angry?"

"I only promised you a battle in the outer heavens, I didn't say I wouldn't kill Yaochi."

Styx remained completely calm. With a thought, Yuan Tu and A Bi flew out from behind him, merging into one in mid-air and unleashing a killing sword aura.

A crisp clang, like the sound of hammering iron, rang out.

Two incomparably sharp sword energies, neither yielding an inch, clashed and dispersed within the Heavenly Court.

The intense clash of sword energies caused a surge of spiritual energy that raged throughout the Heavenly Court, pulverizing countless pavilions and palaces.

The Heavenly Court is the place where the destiny of heaven and earth is concentrated, and such a battle immediately resonated with the Heavenly Dao.

Upon realizing that one of them was Yuanshi, he immediately ordered Yuanshi to change the battlefield, or else he would revoke Yuanshi's holy position.

As for the Lord of the Styx, the Heavenly Dao merely felt some dissatisfaction and vented its inner emotions to the Earthly Dao.

Immediately, Yuanshi's face turned ashen, filled with resentment. He stopped waving the Pangu Banner and said to the Styx Master, "Styx, don't make me look down on you. Let's fight from beyond the heavens."

Houtu, who controls the Earthly Dao, immediately sensed the emotions of the Heavenly Dao and saw Yuanshi suddenly stop the war.

As intelligent as she was, how could she not understand that Yuanshi must have been restricted by the Heavenly Dao?

So he silently transmitted his voice to the Lord of the Styx, saying, "Fellow Daoist Styx, do not agree to his request."

"The Heavenly Saints have limitations, but you have no limitations. So go with him."

"Thank you for informing me, Your Majesty."

The Lord of the Styx didn't care about empty fame. After silently thanking Houtu, he looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with a mocking expression and said, "How pathetic, how lamentable!"

"A sage, in fact, could not control his own destiny and was limited by a will that was not even worthy of being called life."

"Yuanshi, if I were you, I would relinquish this Heavenly Dao Saintly position today and seek the Great Dao instead."

"Enough with the nonsense." Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't expected that the Styx Lord knew about his situation, but he didn't care and continued to press him with words: "If you have the guts, come with me to the outer heavens."

"Otherwise, stop talking nonsense."

The Lord of the Styx shook his head: "Yuanshi, do you think I'm stupid?"

Your weakness is my strength.

"Today, I'm staying in Heaven and not leaving."

Seeing that the Lord of the Styx was resorting to such shameless tactics, Yuanshi Tianzun was furious and wanted to wave the Pangu Banner several times to attack the Lord of the Styx without any regard for the consequences.

But he dared not.

The threat posed by the will of Heaven is an obstacle he cannot overcome.

He suddenly understood why his elder brother had gone through so many difficulties to prove the Great Dao.

So, the Heavenly Sage is such a swindler.

It's a shame that my own teacher, who is in harmony with the Dao, doesn't give me any face at all.

They don't even look at who I'm working for.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shi became even angrier.

But he had no choice but to utter a harsh remark: "Very well, Styx, I'll remember you."

"You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future."

As the flowers fell, Yuanshi Tianzun swept away the unconscious Haotian with a wave of his sleeve and returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Although this battle did not actually take place, it still attracted many powerful beings from all over the world.

At Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing Laozi sighed inwardly, "I told you long ago to hone your Dao, not to be so arrogant."

"Now it's all over. When people bully us, we can't fight back, and we can't act according to our own personality."

In the East China Sea, on Jin'ao Island, inside the Biyou Palace, Tongtian wiped the Qingping Sword in his hand, his face full of hesitation.

Is it really necessary for someone to become a saint like this?

On Mount Sumeru in the West, the expressions of suffering on the faces of Jieyin and Zhunti deepened.

How bitter! Even saints have limitations.

It seems we still need to step up our training of disciples; who knows, in the future, we might have to rely on them to conquer the world.

At Wanshou Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun was so angry that his face turned red. He was furious and cursed, "Useless, useless, all of you are useless."

"They actually retreated without a fight."

...

"Heavenly Emperor, Earthly Empress, the matter of the Heavenly Court has been settled."

"I cannot stay here any longer. The God of Slaughter will protect you. I shall take my leave."

After saying that, the two swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, flew out from behind the Styx Master and transformed into a cold-faced young man wearing silver armor.

"Thank you, Master." (The emperor nodded.) "May you have a safe journey."

"It's nothing." The Lord of the Styx waved his hand and then tore through the void and left.

Huangtian and Houtu continued their journey, exploring the entire Thirty-Three Heavens.

They also punished the Wanxian Alliance disciples who were still in the Heavenly Court.

After clearing everything away, Huangtian, accompanied by Houtu, arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.

Immediately, a large golden seal flew out from above.

Looking at the Kongtong Seal with its nine dragons coiled around it, Huang Tian's eyes showed a hint of hesitation.

He didn't know if his decision was correct or if it would achieve the desired effect.

But this hesitation did not last long.

He quickly made up his mind.

The human population is too large, and with everyone cultivating, the resources in the Southern Wilderness are simply not enough, so we have to find other sources.

Extraterrestrial stars are undoubtedly the best resources for the human race to improve their cultivation.

With a thought, the heavens looked down upon the earth.

Houtu understood and used the power of the earth to shield the heavenly secrets within the Heavenly Court.

The saints immediately sensed something, realizing that the secrets of heaven were obscure and no longer as readily available as before.

For a moment, all the saints couldn't help but cast curious glances toward the Heavenly Court.

But then, a dazzling golden light flashed, followed by a powerful aura emanating from the Heavenly Court and spreading throughout the world.

This made the saints even more puzzled.

But remembering what had just happened, no one dared to be the first to speak up, and they just watched silently.

Inside the Heavenly Court, looking at the avatar before him, clad in a golden dragon robe, Huang Tian revealed a smile.

He hadn't made the wrong bet; he possessed a treasure of fortune that could be manifested through thought.

Moreover, his strength is quite good; it's just unknown whether his strength can also increase through the rise of the human race's fortune.

Thinking of this, Huangtian distracted the Kongtong Seal and stepped towards the imperial throne inside the Lingxiao Palace.

The Heavenly Court is protected by a great formation, the core of which is the Emperor's Throne.

During Emperor Jun's reign, he joined forces with Fuxi to deduce a great formation using the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams to protect the Heavenly Court.

However, the Eastern King Duke was too incompetent. He didn't realize this, nor did he have the ability to control it.

And now, all of this has benefited the Emperor.
