I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Now that Ziwei is dead, everything is going smoothly.

Zhang Jiao smiled as she looked up at the sky, a smile tinged with arrogance.

This time, could it be considered that her chess game triumphed over the will of Heaven?

The art of playing chess lies in choosing the right pieces.

Lin Yi is a good piece.

His background and identity seemed tailor-made for her plan.

As a token of gratitude for this excellent chess piece, she decided not to harm any human beings.

Besides, she didn't really care about the resources available in the human world.

Although the human world is the human world, there are not only places where mortals exist.

Demons feed on the emotions, flesh, and souls of humans, making the human world a suitable hunting ground.

However, the human race is not the most numerous in this world.

The Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors, the Five Heavenly Emperors, and the One Buddha and Two Saints—all of these possess the ability to create small worlds.

The Three Pure Ones jointly created the Thirty-Three Heavens, where immortals and mortals coexist, and mortals provide faith for those who appear in their presence.

The Four Emperors were busy with their own affairs, but they also created their own small worlds. The Five Directions created secret realms, and Buddha, the Eastern King Duke, and the Western Queen Mother each created their own small worlds.

These small worlds are home to many humans, and the Great Celestial Venerable is said to have created the Great Thousand Worlds, in which mortals live and thrive.

These humans are protected by gods, and their lives are probably much more comfortable than those on Earth, hence their greater numbers.

After all, gods and immortals need faith to make themselves stronger, and each additional person means one more source of faith.

It can be said that there are more mortals in the celestial realm than in the human world.

Therefore, since she could plunder the celestial realm, she had no need to take what little she could from the mortal world and create conflict with Lin Yi.

This world is not so simple.

Despite its dilapidated appearance, this place holds ancient legends and secrets, far surpassing any other world created by gods or immortals.

Only in this human realm does the Heavenly Way exist that belongs to the human world.

Zhang Jiao wouldn't rashly take action against the human world before these secrets surfaced.

Getting back to the main point, Zhang Jiao's demonic power was overwhelming at this moment, causing the gods in the heavens to be shaken.

Fairy Wangshu no longer dared to use her magic to open the Heavenly Gate.

What if the Heavenly Gate opens and Zhang Jiao rushes in and slaughters everyone?

She even killed the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, how could these minor gods be a match for her?

In other words, the goddess Xihe was still somewhat confident. She controlled the Great Dao of Blazing Sun and was not afraid of such evil and terrifying things.

However, that only applies to the immortal realm.

In the celestial realm, no one below the Great Celestial Venerable can kill her, but that may not be the case in the mortal world.

The same applies to the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor.

If he hadn't come to the mortal realm and hadn't had his power restrained, he wouldn't have died.

Under these circumstances, Xihe naturally dared not risk her life by descending to the mortal realm.

Zhang Jiao can truly be described as possessing earth-shattering demonic power, overpowering all the gods.

If she really manages to scare away the gods, the demon race will likely turn upside down.

At this moment, the gods quickly thought of the Great Celestial Venerable.

At that very moment, a golden goblet flew over from afar.

This golden goblet is the Great Celestial Venerable's wine cup, and it still contains half a cup of celestial wine.

It seemed that the Great Celestial Venerable was angry; while drinking, he angrily threw his cup away.

As the golden goblet flew, it gradually grew larger. By the time it passed through the barrier between the two realms, it had become the size of a small mountain. When it was turned upside down, it completely covered Zhang Jiao.

Even though it was just a wine glass, Zhang Jiao still felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.

She transformed into a giant a thousand feet tall, but no matter how big she got, the golden goblet was always bigger than her.

As she resisted, the immortal wine in the golden goblet surged out like a tidal wave, engulfing Zhang Jiao completely, then coiling and tightening around her, causing her to shrink continuously.

"Haotian! You can't keep me locked up!"

Zhang Jiao let out an angry roar. She seemed to be resisting with all her might, but the golden goblet that shone with golden light continued to press her down towards the mortal world.

Finally, she landed.

With a deafening roar, the golden goblet transformed into a massive mountain, pinning Zhang Jiao firmly beneath it.

What do you mean by a crushing defeat?

Lin Yi saw it; this was what you call a crushing defeat.

Zhang Jiao went from being full of vigor to being suppressed in a short period of time.

Lin Yi saw her desperate resistance, but she was unable to escape from just a wine glass.

At that moment, Lin Yi felt a wave of fear wash over him.

He witnessed the power of this legendary Great Celestial Venerable.

It's truly terrifying. With his current abilities, if he were to face a Great Celestial Venerable, he probably wouldn't fare much better than Zhang Jiao.

After the golden goblet pressed down on Zhang Jiao, the world seemed to quiet down considerably.

After Zhang Jiao was suppressed, the immortals and gods cheered loudly.

Although Ziwei and Yaoji died, those of them who lived above survived...

Faced with absolute power, all schemes and tricks seem utterly ridiculous.

It must be admitted that Zhang Jiao's arrangement was ingenious and her plan was meticulous. Even the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei was clearly arranged to be devoured alive.

But so what?

The Great Celestial Venerable got angry and slapped her to the ground.

Although Zhang Jiao made some harsh remarks before being suppressed, who knows if she was truly capable of doing so or if it was just to save face...

Lin Yi silently lit a candle for Zhang Jiao, hoping she was alright.

Although Zhang Jiao had schemed against him, there was still room for cooperation between them, so he didn't hold it against her.

With Zhang Jiao around, he could lie down for the time being and see if those immortals and gods dared to overstep their bounds.

Even if someone dares to cross, there will always be someone to block them.

But Zhang Jiao is gone, who will he use to stop her?

Now that his important helper is gone, Lin Yi needs to make a careful choice.

What if he makes a move and is immediately suppressed by the still angry Great Celestial Venerable with a slap, leaving him unable to escape?

If left unchecked, these gods and immortals might come to the human world, kill people, recruit followers, or carry out massacres. How can he face those people?

After much deliberation, Lin Yi decided to play dead for now.

First, we'll use a sneaky tactic to find out who's descended to the mortal realm. Once we've identified our target, we'll kill them with a single blow, giving them no chance whatsoever.

"continue."

In the upper realm, the Great Celestial Venerable uttered only two cold words, and the immortals and gods sensed his anger, falling silent in fear.

The Great Celestial Venerable's will did not waver in the slightest. If he said he would descend to the mortal realm today, he would descend to the mortal realm. If he said he would destroy the human world, he would destroy the human world.

This time, without the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, he directly handed over power to Xihe, along with a new imperial edict.

From this moment forward, Xihe will be the supreme leader of the action team.

Seeing the decree is like seeing the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Although she had already witnessed that this trick wasn't very effective and would be meaningless against a demon like Zhang Jiao, Fairy Xihe was still overjoyed.

This is not merely a decree, but also represents the Great Celestial Venerable's favor and high regard.

As for the content of the edict…

Xihe glanced at it and felt a pang of panic.

But she really can do it.

With her power, if she were to unleash even more power from the sun, she could destroy all living things on earth in just a few days.

The danger lies in the fact that once you receive the decree, you must go to the human world.

After much deliberation, Xihe accepted the task.

Zhang Jiao has been suppressed, and Lin Yi has also been suppressed by the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor. There should be no more threats to the human world.

If you don't claim credit now, when will you?

Xihe accepted the imperial decree, and Wangshu was also asked to accompany her sister. The two of them traveling together would provide mutual support.

The sun and moon rise together, forming a perfect union; their combat power will reach a new level.

Having received the decree from the Great Heavenly Venerable, Wangshu became busy again.

This time, they naturally wanted people from the lower realms to cross over in order of their strength, from lowest to highest.

This time, no one stopped him from crossing the line.

In the mortal realm, at this very moment, Yan Qingqiu, carrying Jiang Linglong's true form, was already on his way to find Lin Yi.

She carried a coffin on her back, with Jiang Linglong's clone by her side.

At this moment, even the usually calm and wise Yan Qingqiu became a little nervous. Jiang Linglong noticed her unease and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but you might be in trouble."

Yan Qingqiu ran along carrying the crystal coffin, explaining, "Now is the best time for you to reclaim your power. Only you can truly unleash the power of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Whether we win this battle between immortals and mortals depends entirely on you.

Yan Qingqiu was secretly putting pressure on Jiang Linglong.
