Chapter 6 The Remnants of the Heavenly Court
"snort!"
"Is this an attempt to prove they're stronger than us?"
Some of the Supreme Beings in the restricted area also looked grim, as Jiang Ling's combat power was not much weaker than theirs.
Before they attained enlightenment, they would never have dared to suppress all other paths with their own Dao like Jiang Ling did.
In the past, they all merged with the Heavenly Heart Mark to become supreme beings.
Even they were utterly shocked by Jiang Ling's current actions.
They could foresee that once Jiang Ling truly survived the Heavenly Tribulation, she would become a supreme being no weaker than an Emperor.
"Damn it!"
The most grim faces were those of the prodigies undergoing tribulation, some of whom were only one step away from achieving enlightenment.
All that is needed is to merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark before Jiang Ling, and one can become a supreme being.
But now that the Heavenly Heart Mark has been torn apart by Jiang Ling, they have all suffered a backlash.
Qin Wuxiang and Ye Wujiang, the contemporary genius of the Heavenly Court lineage, both interrupted their tribulations; if they continued, even they would not be able to withstand it.
"roar!"
The five-colored phoenix roared to the sky, but Yu Zhe had not given up. Even with the Heavenly Heart Mark torn apart, he still wanted to prove his Dao.
He was unwilling to give up, but he could not back down. The former heavenly generals had already arrived near where he was undergoing his tribulation.
If he fails to transcend the tribulation, he will inevitably face retribution from the remaining branches of the Heavenly Court.
To those in the Heavenly Court lineage, he was the culprit who caused the collapse of the Heavenly Court, and they would never let him go.
What does it matter if the Heavenly Heart Mark is torn apart? He was born of noble birth, a celestial being from the very beginning. Among all the beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only the Chaos Body is qualified to be compared to him.
Moreover, he did not feel that he was weaker than Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling could tear apart the Heavenly Heart Mark and trample all the laws of heaven and earth under his feet, so why couldn't he?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhe also became extremely violent, manifesting his true form as a Celestial Phoenix, flapping his wings and slashing, continuing to prove his Dao.
"What impressive spirit!"
"However, if you wish to attain enlightenment, perhaps in your next life!"
An elderly man with white hair, holding a small cauldron radiating green celestial light, spoke coldly to Yu Zhe, who was undergoing tribulation.
Beside him stood several tall figures, each radiating the invincible aura of a quasi-saint.
Although they weren't at the peak of the Quasi-Venerable realm, they were still mid-to-high-level cultivators. They held a formation diagram in their hands, ready to make a move at any moment.
"Um?"
"A remnant of the Heavenly Court!"
Upon seeing this scene, many people recognized the white-haired old man.
"The Heavenly Court collapsed, and ten thousand years have passed. Unexpectedly, it has recovered a considerable amount of its strength!"
"As expected of a behemoth in the universe, even without a supreme being overseeing it, it can still command the starry sky!"
Many people lamented that in the great war more than 10,000 years ago, although the Emperor passed away peacefully, many divine generals died in battle, and the Heavenly Court lost countless territories.
But it was not completely wiped out.
Because the Emperor withdrew from the path to immortality and even stormed into the forbidden zone, where he forcefully killed two Supreme Beings.
Those supreme beings who once tried to stop the Emperor from becoming an immortal were also intimidated by the Emperor's power and fled into forbidden areas to protect themselves.
Amidst the chaos in the heavens and the severe injuries sustained by the Emperor, he returned to the ancient primordial star, but did not immediately pass away.
Instead, it took a thousand years to wear down those supreme beings who had consumed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and possessed peak combat power.
Although the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is incredibly powerful and can restore a supreme being who has severed himself to his peak state, it only lasts for two thousand years.
When the two thousand years were up, those supreme beings had no choice but to sever their own ties once again and enter the forbidden zone to lie low.
Although they wanted to completely annihilate the remnants of the Heavenly Court, they would not do so even if their own blood and energy were damaged.
Therefore, over the course of ten thousand years, they sent their subordinates to wipe out the remnants of the Heavenly Court.
However, the Heavenly Court lineage still retained its strength during the great war at the end of the mythological era. In addition to the First Divine General, several other divine generals also survived.
Without the Supreme Being's intervention, those Supreme Being's subordinates were simply no match for the Heavenly Court's divine generals who wielded the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Therefore, over the course of ten thousand years, the Heavenly Court actually survived and once again became a behemoth in the universe, cultivating many experts.
"The Cauldron of Ascension to Immortality!"
Upon seeing the green cauldron in the old man's hand, the universe was in an uproar. They had never expected that someone from the Heavenly Court would actually take out this celestial artifact.
The strike from the Immortal Ascension Cauldron would be devastating, not to mention Yu Zhe who was undergoing tribulation, even a supreme being who had reached the pinnacle of ascension would not be unwell if struck.
His gaze shifted, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, who had been watching Yu Zhe's tribulation, looked towards the old man's side. He was immediately drawn to the weapons held by the figures beside him and couldn't help but exclaim:
"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"
Seeing this, those supreme beings who originally wanted to destroy the remnants of the Heavenly Court all abandoned their ideas.
The Immortal Ascension Cauldron, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and a Quasi-Saint peak Divine General—even they couldn't withstand that.
"Let's get started!"
"Slay the mastermind behind the destruction of the Heavenly Court!"
The white-haired old man spoke, taking the lead with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron in his hand.
Green celestial clouds, carrying boundless divine might, permeated the desolate edge of the universe where Yu Zhe was undergoing his tribulation.
The four killing swords were carried by the four Quasi-Venerables and distributed around Yu Zhe, while the array diagram was held by a Quasi-Venerable expert at the seventh level.
"Aren't you going to make a move yet? Are you going to wait for the remnants of the Heavenly Court to rise again so you can defeat them one by one?"
Upon seeing this, Yu Zhe's face turned ashen, and he shouted loudly.
In his current state, let alone the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, even that old divine general would be a huge problem, not to mention the five Quasi-Venerables wielding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation standing by.
With such a lineup, he simply couldn't defy the odds and had no hope of winning.
Unless he can destroy all paths and forcefully attain the Dao, he will not escape death.
Besides, he only had a chance of survival if the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone and the Kunlun lineage who possessed the Kunlun Immortal Bell intervened.
But they overlooked the supreme beings and Kunlun lineage within the forbidden zone.
Even if a supreme being were to emerge again from the Heavenly Court lineage, the supreme being of the forbidden zone would still be unable to defy the heavens.
Because if a supreme being were to emerge from the Heavenly Court lineage again, they would be able to nip it in the bud.
Moreover, their statuses are not equal; as Supreme Beings, they can address Emperors as fellow Daoists.
Yu Zhe was merely a cultivator on the verge of enlightenment, and also a traitor.
Even if they had formed a brief alliance in the past to deal with the Emperor, that alliance had long since dissipated after the Emperor passed away.
The Kunlun lineage was willing to make a move, as they possessed the Kunlun Immortal Bell, but unfortunately, they did not have any experts at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level.
They were unwilling to fight a bloody battle with the remnants of the Heavenly Court for the sake of Yu Zhe.
"Until enlightenment, one is ultimately nothing more than an ant!"
After a long while, such a sound finally came from inside the penalty area.
In terms of grudges, these supreme beings who blocked the Emperor's path to immortality are the biggest culprits in the Heavenly Court's history. However, due to their own strength, the remaining branches of the Heavenly Court do not dare to wield their swords against them.
"Don't bother struggling, you can't leave here alive!"
The white-haired old man looked at the roaring Yu Zhe and said with icy eyes.
"You're not strong enough to kill me!"
Yu Zhe roared, and then his aura suddenly increased several times, and he charged into the depths of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He deliberately triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, wanting to imprint his own Dao on the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth.
"boom!"
Suddenly, an incomparably vast and supreme divine power appeared, permeating the entire universe, causing everyone to submit.
"Today I attain enlightenment, ushering in the primordial era, and shall become the First Emperor!"
A magnificent voice resounded, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the vast universe.
Jiang Ling attained enlightenment, completely trampling all the myriad paths of heaven and earth under his feet, becoming a supreme being at the Heavenly Emperor level.
