"Hmm?"

The three Venerables of the Heavenly Court exchanged glances upon hearing the threat from the Star Clan and Beidou Strongest, all inevitably furrowing their brows.

"Quite arrogant! Who will respond?"

Ziwei Heavenly Venerate transmitted.

"I'll do it!"

Gouchen Venerable Taiyi raised his eyebrows and stepped forward, appearing before the leader of the Mechanical Clan and others, his terrifying aura spreading like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea.

Heavenly Venerate Law permeated the air, followed by Tao Runes.

The terrifying pressure swept through, collapsing the Void Barrier to the point of distortion, as if it would shatter in the next second.

"I am Gouchen Venerable Taiyi of the Gouchen Upper Palace in the Heavenly Court, on the command of Heaven's Emperor Hao Tian, I am here to proclaim our Heavenly Court's rules to you."

Gouchen Venerable Taiyi looked coldly at the leader of the Mechanical Clan and others, speaking sharply:

"Listen well, or face death without mercy!"

After speaking, he did not waste words with the leader of the Mechanical Clan and others; he shook the Tao, invoked the authority of the Heavenly Court, and emitted an aura of half-step Transcendence, leaving the faces of the Mechanical Clan and others extremely grim.

"The Heavenly Court represents the will of Heaven and Earth..."

Gouchen Venerable Taiyi began to proclaim the order and regulations of the Heavenly Court with half-step Transcendence power. In the blink of an eye, his voice spread throughout the entire Primordial Starry Sky and Beidou Star Domain, and all creatures of the Myriad Races heard him clearly.

"The Heavenly Court?"

"What is this organization, and why is it coming here to recite regulations?"

"Strange!"

"Humph! A mere power of barbarians from beyond the frontier, how could it make us submit!"

"..."

Members from the Star Clan and the Beidou Star Domain were initially stunned by the voice of Venerable Taiyi, but as the regulations flowed forth, sneers of derision appeared on their faces.

Since birth, they had lived in the Primordial Starry Sky and the Beidou Star Domain, without ever having any contact with the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

Now a "Heavenly Court" from who-knows-where was popping up, telling them to submit, how laughable.

Although the top powerhouses from the Star Clan and Beidou Star Domain felt suppressed by the half-step Transcendence aura from Gouchen Venerable, they all revealed sullen expressions as they listened to Gouchen Venerable Taiyi's arrogant tone in declaring the Heavenly Court's rules and regulations.

"The Heavenly Court? A mere junior dares to be so arrogant; who gave him the courage—Jing Ru?"

"Half-step Transcendence aura; this Gouchen Venerable is not weak, it's best to be cautious!"

"No wonder he dares to be so audacious; it turns out he has the capital to be!"

"One mustn't underestimate the Heavenly Court; even a single Venerable can wield the power of half-step Transcendence, how terrifying must the strength of Heaven's Emperor Hao Tian be?"

"All three of them possess the power of half-step Transcendence; we can't match them!"

"How could this be? Do we really have to submit?"

"..."

Leaders like the Master of Truth and the leader of the Mechanical Clan communicated swiftly through sound transmission, discussing countermeasures to resolve the suppression of the three Gouchen Venerables.

There were two options to choose from: First, accept the governance of the Heavenly Court; Second, refuse the governance of the Heavenly Court.

Choosing the former would be a loss of face.

Either as reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods or top powerhouses of the Star Clan, their reputation was more important than anything.

If Pangu had come forth requesting their submission, they wouldn't have any complaints.

Because Pangu is mighty enough to be the object of their reverence.

But to submit to beings created within the world opened by Pangu...

How could they accept this?

Yet if they did not accept, and chose to refuse the offer of submission to the Heavenly Court, awaiting them would be the suppression of the three Venerable powerhouses.

This outcome was not what they wished to see.

"What to do? It's hard to accept this willingly!"

"We can't just accept it like this; we must go up and try, what if we win!"

"That's right! Our cultivation might not be as good as the other party, but let's not forget, we have the Zhou Yun Star Formation to activate, a Great Array left by Corpse God, its power is boundless, we might well be able to handle them!"

"Hmm!"

"Let's try! If it doesn't work, then we submit!"

"..."

Quickly.

The preaching of Gouchen Venerable Taiyi came to a close.

"What choice will you make? Give a firm answer!"

"We are quite busy with our time and have no interest in wasting it here with you!"

Gouchen Venerable Taiyi has always been an imperious sovereign, formerly the second-in-command of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, with none but Dijun daring to defy his command.

Now, as one of the four Great Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court, his temperament may be somewhat restrained, yet his nature remains as domineering as ever, brooking no contradiction.

Had the Master of Truth and others been amicable and negotiable from the start, he would have been willing to discuss their incorporation into the Heavenly Court in a pleasant and friendly manner.

But now, he has no desire to waste further time on the Master of Truth and others.

Because he is one to yield to soft approaches, not forceful ones.

Moreover, he is now eager for an excuse for an altercation.

Such an affair would also serve to admonish and warn those forces and races that have not yet submitted to the Heavenly Court's authority, demonstrating the court's majesty.

"Whoo!"

The Master of Truth takes in a deep breath and with a surge of energy, charges towards Gouchen Venerable Taiyi.

"Fight!"

With his roaring cry, the Mechanical Lord and others sprang into action, activating their own Tao Rules, summoning the brilliance of countless stars to descend, forming the Cycle of Heaven Star Formation, ensnaring Gouchen Venerable Taiyi and his two companions within.

"Hmm?"

Gouchen Venerable Taiyi, once the East Emperor of the former Demon Clan Heavenly Court, is more familiar with the Cycle of Heaven Star Formation than anyone else. As soon as the Master of Truth and others use their Tao Rules to mobilize the myriad of stars, he anticipates their intention.

However, he remains silent, content to watch the Master of Truth and the others' 'performance'.

Because he knows the Cycle of Heaven Star Formation inside and out and believes breaking it would be effortless.

"Come out!"

All three of the Heavenly Venerable mighty beings are capable of utilizing the authority of the Heavenly Court to unleash half-step Transcendence power, unmatched by their peers.

The Cycle of Heaven Star Formation, formidable though it may be, is unlikely to harm the three, including Gouchen Venerable Taiyi, who possess this near-Transcendence strength.

Nonetheless, at this moment, the power displayed by the others is not to be underestimated. Within the Cycle of Heaven Star Formation, countless creatures fly out, forming numerous unique Arrays, strengthening the foundation of the Cycle of Heaven Star Formation, amplifying its Attack Power.

"Kill!"

Taking the lead in the assault is the Mechanical Clan, led by the Mechanical Lord himself; beings of mechanical structure, akin to the Transformers of the real world, each possessing an enormous stature and terrifying attack power.

Now, under the leadership of the Mechanical Lord, they were the first to activate the Great Array, attacking Gouchen Venerable Taiyi and his companions.

Following them is a group of fallen angels with dark wings, led by the Lord of Darkness. They release countless pitch-black tendrils of Dark Energy, attacking the three Gouchen Venerables from the left.

Next are the formidable devouring beasts, members of the Devouring Clan under the command of the Devouring Lord. Each possesses the capability to devour sky and earth, akin to the four fearsome beasts Taotie of the Primordial times, utterly terrifying.

Following them is the Truth Clan.

Under the leadership of the Master of Truth, they attack Gouchen Venerable Taiyi and his companions in the most precise and effective manner, with no superfluous flourish.

Lastly, members of the Star Clan partake.

Led by the "Lord of Stars", they mobilize the Origin of myriad stars, channeling it into the Cycle of Heaven Star Formation, launching countless radiant beams of starlight against the three Gouchen Venerables.

Unlike the other four Clans, the Star Clan are true masters of the Starry Sky.

After the Heavenly Conquest war, water from the Boundary Sea entered the Primordial Starry Sky, and under its nurturing, countless "Star Gods" arose from the myriad of stars.

Led by the Corpse God, their radiance illuminates the entire Primordial Starry Sky.

At their zenith, they once rivaled Primordial itself.

To this day, they remain the most powerful among the five great races.
