# Chapter 3147: Heavenly Venerable Transmits the Order, Heavenly Court and Hell Realm Infinite Realm All Set Out for Battle
"The Heavenly Beginning Heavenly Lord's action has dealt a severe blow to the Hell Realm army's advance. Otherwise, before the Heavenly Court's heavens could react, people like Four Yang Heavenly Lord, Feng Caiyi, and Jiusi Yitianhuang would have already directly attacked the Heavenly Court's second Starry Sky Defense Line!"
"It can be said that the Heavenly Beginning Heavenly Lord has an indelible merit to the Heavenly Court."
Xiao Hei could not wait any longer, saying: "Old man, just tell me, has the Heavenly Beginning Civilization been destroyed or not?"
The Old Drunkard was not angry, but he simply would not tell him.
Zhang Ruochen, however, discerned some meaning and felt a slight relief inside.
The Old Drunkard had already made it very clear. The Old Heavenly Lord had rendered great service to the Heavenly Court, having sacrificed himself for the Dao. The entire Heavenly Court owed him a debt of gratitude. If at this moment, Yu Divine King wanted to lead the Heavenly Beginning Civilization to flee the battlefield, even if the Heavenly Court's heavens saw through it, they would pretend not to know.
The tide had turned. Why should the Heavenly Beginning Civilization be buried with them?
Moreover, Grandmaster and Yuqing Ancestor were all in the Heavenly Beginning Civilization. How could they not lend Yu Divine King a hand?
Zhang Ruochen said: "The Hell Realm's next targets will definitely be Hundred Clans Royal City, Xinghuantian, and Star Heaven Cliff. I think it should be done quickly, without delay. Move them into..."
"Shh!"
The Old Drunkard made a silencing gesture, looked down the mountain, and laughed heartily: "Void Old Ghost, I didn't expect you to still be alive and well. It seems that under Hell Realm's Fengdu Dadi, your strength can be ranked second!"
Void Heaven's imposing figure stepped out silently from the void, white hair parted on both sides of his cheeks, his beard hanging down to his chest like a white waterfall. He ascended the mountain with a majestic aura, saying: "What cultivation do I possess? One sword can cut across past and present, one thought can traverse the star river. Not to mention Luo Yifeng self-destructing his divine source, even if Hao Tian self-destructed his divine source, it would be easy for me to leave."
The Old Drunkard laughed loudly: "Don't blow your own trumpet until it bursts. Although Luo Yifeng was not enfeoffed as a heavenly lord, his cultivation is not much weaker than yours. In my view, you are outwardly strong but inwardly weak, using your spiritual power to cover up your injuries."
"Have you drunk yourself silly? I am the number one master of the Void Path under heaven. Who can hurt me?"
Void Heaven's aura was very strong. He stared at Zhang Ruochen and said coldly: "Your cultivation has improved greatly. Are you preparing to slip away? Where is your wife?"
The Old Drunkard walked to face Void Heaven and said: "You, Xu Fengjin, are at least a heavenly lord. Why put on airs in front of a junior? If you have the ability, go fight Hao Tian, just like when you single-handedly challenged Xumi back then."
"Just wait and see. I will eventually slay a heavenly venerable and prove the Dao as an ancestor." Void Heaven's pride soared to the skies, his beard and hair flying.
Zhang Ruochen was somewhat worried that Void Heaven had rushed back to Hell Realm so urgently just to block them. He said: "Reporting to senior, Ruochen has already defeated Hai Shang Youruo and completed the trial."
"Since your cultivation has greatly improved, hurry back to Kunlun Realm and do what you promised me."
Void Heaven then looked at the Old Drunkard, his gaze suddenly becoming much heavier, saying: "I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy lately, as if something major is about to happen in the universe. Do you have the same feeling?"
A spiritual power expert at the Heaven Round No Lack level was one with heaven and earth, often able to perceive things in advance and discern heavenly secrets in the dark.
The Old Drunkard's expression turned serious, saying: "You also have that feeling?"
Xiao Hei said in a low voice: "Haven't the major events in the universe already happened? Do you two old seniors still need to sense them? Fengdu Dadi's return, the collapse of the Starry Sky Defense Line, a near-heavenly lord level expert self-destructing his divine source—which of these is a small matter?"
"What do you know?"
Void Heaven looked at Xiao Hei with an unfriendly expression, discerned his origin, and did not bother with him further, saying: "These things, in the eyes of beings at our level, are still only small matters. The truly major events are the fall of heavenly lords, the arrival of the Calamity of Quantities, the splitting of heaven and earth..."
"Boom!"
Before he finished speaking, the earth violently shook, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Void Heaven and the Old Drunkard sensed something and their expressions changed.
In an instant, Zhang Ruochen's vision changed, and he found that everyone had arrived above the Wing World of the Blood Heaven Tribe, standing in the dark void of the universe.
The rules of heaven and earth seemed to have changed.
Void Heaven gazed at the starry sky where the Rakshasa Clan was located. His withered palm pressed forward, divine light flickering in his palm. The entire universe's space-time seemed to contract, and countless stars flew past before Zhang Ruochen's eyes.
His vision changed again. Across an infinitely distant star domain, Zhang Ruochen could clearly see Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, as if it were right before his eyes.
Such methods were awe-inspiring and shocking.
Legend had it that Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm was a human-shaped great world formed after the body of the Demon Ancestor Luohou, one of the three great demon sources, fell to the ground. The entire world was riddled with holes, demonic energy churning, and the bloody smell emanating from it spread throughout the surrounding star domain.
Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm had undergone astonishing changes. The Demon Ancestor's eyes, which had been closed for billions of years, had now opened—one like a blood moon, the other like a green sun.
The demonic energy became even denser, emitting blood light and green light, with all electric light flashing within.
All living beings in the star domain where Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm was located kowtowed in worship, all believing that the Demon Ancestor had been reborn.
"Pfft!"
Staring into the Demon Ancestor's eyes, Xiao Hei and Bai Qinger both spat out blood.
The Old Drunkard immediately released his spiritual power field, saying: "Sit down and regulate your breathing immediately."
Yuyao Divine Master was moved and asked: "Could it be that the Demon Ancestor did not die and is about to awaken?"
"The Demon Ancestor is dead. How could he be resurrected? It is the demonic Dao rules of heaven and earth that have suddenly increased, causing some dormant ancient and primeval demonic Dao auras to revive. Is something major really about to happen?" Void Heaven's eyes rarely showed a solemn expression.
The Old Drunkard sensed something and looked toward the northern starry sky.
...
Pangu Realm, Demon God Ancient Temple.
In the main hall of the Demon God Ancient Temple, a statue of the Great Demon God was enshrined. It was robust in form, with eight heads—male, female, Buddha, snake, sheep, Dharma seal head, skull head, and ten-eyed head.
Outside the main hall stood seventy-two stone pillars like mountain peaks, engraved with reliefs of seventy-two pillar demon gods.
On this day, earth-shattering roars sounded from within the Demon God Ancient Temple—sounds of slaughter, sounds of hatred, sounds of battle cries. All living beings in Pangu Realm could hear them.
Some gods went to investigate but were blocked by the vast demonic energy outside.
The entire plain where the Demon God Ancient Temple was located turned into a million-mile ocean of demonic energy, with lightning flashing endlessly.
Some gods heard the Great Demon God awakening, spitting out demonic sounds, wanting to regain control over the universe's cycle of creation and destruction. Some gods saw one of the Supreme Four Pillars, the Demon God Gai Mie, whose appearance and form matched the legends exactly, walking on the plain, accompanied by lightning.
Whether this was an illusion or had truly happened was unknown.
The strange changes in Pangu Realm spread to the Heavenly Court, shocking all realms.
That day, seventy-two bell tolls sounded from the Heavenly Palace.
All cultivators in the mortal world could see divine lights flying toward the Heavenly Palace in an endless stream. The entire Heavenly Court was shrouded in fear.
...
Kunlun Realm, an endless desert in the desolate secret realm.
The yellow sand stretched endlessly, black mist swirling in the air, demonic energy thick.
This desert was formed during the divine war one hundred thousand years ago, burying the Nine Li Divine Temple, one of the three great divine temples of Kunlun Realm in the past. Many gods had turned to dust.
Mu Lingxi had entered the Nine Li Divine Temple for decades and had not come out.
Chi Xingtian was worried that something had happened to her and did not want to wait any longer, preparing to enter the underground temple ruins. But at that moment, overwhelming demonic energy came from the Eastern Domain, condensing into black clouds, covering the sky and earth.
"This is..."
Chi Xingtian flew out through the air, heading toward the Eastern Domain of the human race.
The Demon Ridge in the Eastern Domain was originally a remote place, only dotted with weak commandery kingdoms. It was only after Kunlun Realm's revival and the appearance of King Mountain that it gradually became a sacred cultivation ground in the Eastern Domain, within the sphere of influence of the Ming Sect's Zhang Family.
In the lofty mountains and ridges not far from King Mountain, large amounts of demonic energy rose up, pitch black, as if a world-shaking fierce demon was about to emerge.
The demonic energy rolled and churned, eroding the earth into black.
By the time Chi Xingtian arrived, Jie Zunzhe was already standing there.
"What happened?" Chi Xingtian asked.
"Look for yourself!"
Jie Zunzhe's expression was very heavy, even with some restless irritability.
In the area with the densest demonic energy, a sharp cone-shaped majestic black mountain grew out from underground. On the mountain were rows of broken halls and ancient altars, all bearing traces of time.
Cracks in the surrounding earth stretched for ten thousand miles, forming great canyons.
"This is... this is the legendary Heavenly Demon Mountain!" Chi Xingtian was overjoyed.
Who would have thought that the Heavenly Demon Mountain, the sacred site of the once glorious Heavenly Demon Sect from ancient times, was right here beneath the ordinary earth of the Eastern Domain? It was not just a mountain but also a heavy artifact refined by the Heavenly Demon.
Chi Xingtian had searched for it for many years, thinking it had been destroyed in ancient times. He never expected it to emerge on its own today!
Zhang Ruochen pushed his Truth Eye to the limit, vaguely seeing seventy-two pillars standing in the starry sky to the north, wrapped in a strange nebula.
Being able to see them from such a distance showed how enormous those seventy-two pillars were, awe-inspiring.
Suddenly, a divine voice resounded throughout the entire Hell Realm: "I, in the name of the Heavenly Venerable, command all Infinite Realm gods of the Hell Realm to assemble at Wuding Divine Sea and march to war at North Marsh Great Wall. Those who do not arrive within one day will be executed by the Heavenly Venerable's hand."
The voice spread throughout the entire Yellow Spring Star River at the same time.
All living beings in the Hell Realm heard this voice and kowtowed in worship. All Infinite Realm gods were alarmed—some walked out of their divine temples, some awakened from underground, some were living in seclusion among mortals...
They set out, heading to Wuding Divine Sea.
Something major must have happened at North Marsh Great Wall. Infinite Realm gods could already sense some things. Now that the Heavenly Venerable personally issued the order to summon all Infinite Realm gods to war, the severity of the situation was clear.
Void Heaven said: "It seems that Fengdu and Hao Tian have reached a ceasefire agreement at Wuding Divine Sea. Are you going?"
The Old Drunkard let out a long sigh, saying: "I really don't want to go!"
"Then don't go!"
"But, I have to go!"
The Old Drunkard knew how major the event was, and he knew even more that the fact that the Heavenly Court and Hell Realm could immediately cease hostilities at this moment meant something. Hiding and not going would have very serious consequences.
