Chapter 1082: Chapter 1073: Killer Intent Toward Chaos

Regarding Zhang Buku’s mention of tribulations, Xu You didn’t take it too seriously. Over the long years, tribulations aren’t uncommon; as long as one lives in this world, troubles are inevitable.

Yet he did not expect that this particular tribulation was far beyond what the past could compare.

The entire Heavenly Dao will be thrown into turmoil, subsequently affecting Chaos.

A thousand years in the Heavenly Realm equals three hundred sixty thousand years in the Human World. The Palace of the Polestar lectures on the Dao for a thousand years, then pauses for another thousand years, each time causing great waves in the Heavenly Realm and even the Heavenly Dao.

After the third lecture at the Palace of the Polestar concluded, more and more beings attacked the listeners, and even the Immortal Gods acted within the Heavenly Realm, ignoring Celestial Rules, incurring Cangtian’s wrath, and being obliterated by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, their bodies and souls utterly destroyed.

This event did not deter the Immortal Gods; rather, it drove many ambitious Immortal Gods to greater madness.

An increasing number of Celestial Dao Venerables returned, seeking opportunities from the Celestial Emperor, but without exception, none could meet the Celestial Emperor. This led the Immortal Gods to realize the Celestial Dao Venerable’s status would be shaken.

The fourth lecture concluded.

The fifth lecture concluded.

The positions of more than half of the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors have already been settled, and these Heavenly Emperors have begun to receive Celestial Dao Destiny, making the remaining positions even more coveted.

…

In the depths of Chaos, dark red star clouds drift, vast and oppressive, with stars small as grains of sand.

A purple-red lightning bolt appears out of nowhere, rapidly expanding, with gray mist pouring out from within, causing the distant star clouds to begin dissolving.

A figure suddenly appears before the purple-red lightning, his entire body shimmering with white light, a blue Dao robe billowing among the white light, standing tall like a peak, eyes like lightning, very dignified.

He is from the Celestial Court, named Punishing Demon Dao Emperor, responsible for intelligence gathering within Chaos, happening to be nearby, sensing an unusual aura, thus coming over.

Looking at the purple-red lightning, Punishing Demon Dao Emperor feels uneasy. If not recently, he could indeed sense the Celestial Dao Destiny in Chaos, he wouldn’t dare approach.

As long as one can sense the Celestial Dao Destiny, even if they die, they can be resurrected in the Celestial Court.

Moreover, ever since the Celestial Emperor became a Saint, Chaos Evil Demons can no longer devour Celestial Dao Destiny, unable to completely obliterate Immortal Gods. Forcibly devouring Immortal God destiny will only lead to backlash, regardless of cultivation level; lightly, Dao practice is damaged, heavily, soul scattered.

The strengthening of Celestial Dao Destiny makes the Celestial Court increasingly powerful; the Immortal Gods outside start behaving recklessly, while the Chaos Daoist Lineage can only flee and hide.

Punishing Demon Dao Emperor takes a deep breath, raises his right hand, an Ancient Bronze Bell appears in his palm, ancient script phantoms visible to the naked eye float out, dispersing and disappearing, presenting extraordinary wonders.

He sends forth the Ancient Bronze Bell in his hand, carrying countless ancient scripts to the front of the purple-red lightning, rapidly expanding, unexpectedly concealing the vast lightning larger than the star clouds, even blocking the gray mist flowing out from within.

Standing behind the Ancient Bronze Bell, Punishing Demon Dao Emperor secretly relaxes. His Magical Treasure has already been activated; it should be able to restrain the mysterious power hidden within the thunder.

Boom—

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the Ancient Bronze Bell actually shatters, countless blade-like fragments rushing toward Punishing Demon Dao Emperor.

Punishing Demon Dao Emperor instinctively releases mana, forming a shield, attempting to resist, but his mana shield is directly torn apart, and his body follows, being penetrated. In an instant, his body turns to blood mist.

These fragments are incredibly sharp, even capable of tearing Chaos Space, leaving endless lines of light.

…

In the Heavenly Realm, a vast Heavenly Pool is located within the sea of clouds, the pool water silver blue, twinkling with starlight as if a dazzling Star Sea.

A figure emerges from the Heavenly Pool, gasping for air.

It is the Punishing Demon Dao Emperor who was just obliterated, body and soul.

His face is full of terror, consciousness still caught in the horror from earlier. At the moment of annihilation, he saw a figure walking towards him from within the intense light, accompanied by overwhelming murderous intent.

The killing intent wasn’t aimed at him, but Chaos.

After a few breaths, Punishing Demon Dao Emperor calms his emotions, leaping and disappearing into the horizon.

An hour later. This text is hosted at Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Xuanqing Star Lord leads Punishing Demon Dao Emperor into the Palace of the Polestar; Punishing Demon Dao Emperor has been in Chaos, unaware of the lectures at the Palace of the Polestar.

“Your Majesty, Chaos has a situation!”

Xuanqing Star Lord approaches the stairs, bows to the high Celestial Emperor, stating this matter.

The Celestial Emperor keeps his eyes closed, not responding.

Xuanqing Star Lord gives Punishing Demon Dao Emperor a look; Punishing Demon Dao Emperor immediately recounts the situation he encountered in detail, including his feelings.

Halfway through hearing, the Celestial Emperor opens his eyes, steadily gazing at Punishing Demon Dao Emperor.

Punishing Demon Dao Emperor feels immense pressure, which secretly alarms him; is His Majesty strong to such a degree?

It seems the rumors aren’t false.

After Punishing Demon Dao Emperor finishes speaking, he hesitates for a moment, then says, “Although he didn’t speak, I seem to sense some information. His title should be Saint Venerable of Punishment…”

Saint Venerable of Punishment…

Xuanqing Star Lord hears this name, feeling an inexplicable tension, an indescribable vexation, even some unease.

The Celestial Emperor squints his eyes and says, “Your feeling is true; indeed, he is known as Saint Venerable of Punishment. The killing intent you sensed is directed at the entire Chaos, Heavenly Dao; once he descends into Chaos, he will wantonly slaughter, and no one can stop him.”

“Descend into Chaos? Could it be he isn’t within Chaos?” Punishing Demon Dao Emperor asks in shock.

He thought Saint Venerable of Punishment was an ancient being suppressed in the depths of Chaos, hence his hatred for all of Chaos.

“Mm, beyond Chaos exist many universes similar to it. Powerful beings in those places have already set sights on Chaos, drawing near, Saint Venerable of Punishment being one of them.”

The Celestial Emperor speaks these words in a very calm tone, shocking Xuanqing Star Lord and Punishing Demon Dao Emperor.

Xuanqing Star Lord seems to think of something, his complexion changes drastically, hurriedly asking, “Are those treacherous Immortal Gods bewitched by forces from outside Chaos?”

Prior to this, he was very puzzled, unable to trace the source of that force, which would make sense if it came from beyond Chaos.

It must be a terrifying force beyond imagination, only such power can traverse Chaos and infiltrate the Celestial Court.

The Celestial Emperor nods, pushing Xuanqing Star Lord’s heart into the abyss.

However, the Celestial Emperor’s next words make Xuanqing Star Lord even more anxious.

“Saint Venerable of Punishment’s cultivation is similar to mine, and there are quite a few beings like Saint Venerable of Punishment; this is also why I continue secluded cultivation. Compared to internal conflicts within the Celestial Court, future troubles are more terrifying.”

The Celestial Emperor’s expression doesn’t change, making the two Immortal Gods unable to discern his thoughts.

Xuanqing Star Lord finally understands why the Celestial Emperor wants to establish thirty-two Heavenly Emperors.

He immediately speaks, “Your Majesty, the position of the First Heavenly Emperor must belong to Merit Suppressing God Venerable; relying solely on the current Heavenly Emperors, it will surely not withstand such tribulations!”
