Chapter 2198: Assembly of Gods

Beside the Heaven Lake, the Staff of the Divine Envoy in Zhang Ruochen’s hand suddenly shone with cold divine light. The next moment, Moon Goddess’s beautiful figure appeared out of thin air.

“Greetings, Moon Goddess.”

Zhang Ruochen bowed.

When he had noticed something unusual in the void, he was about to report it to Moon Goddess. He did not expect Moon Goddess would cast a projection of herself.

Moon Goddess looked at the Dimensional Hole that was under restoration. Even though she was looking at it through her projection that did not carry any divine power, she was still far discerning than Zhang Ruochen’s.

“There’s more than one deity hiding in the void near Kunlun. Their aurae are all very strong. What a big formation. Are they trying to repeat what happened 100,000 years ago?” Moon Goddess said softly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen was struck by her words. The situation was obviously more serious than he had imagined.

Looking around, Moon Goddess glanced at the blood-filled Heaven Lake and oasis and asked, “What happened?”

“Heavenly Realm faction attacked Ziwei Palace. They tried to kill me and snatch Saturn Peach Tree,” Zhang Ruochen replied.

Moon Goddess stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “From what I see, they seems to have suffer greater casualties. How many cultivators of Heavenly Realm faction have you killed?”

“There are at least hundreds of them. All of them are top Saint King elites. It’s a pity that Michael and Yin Yuanchen escaped. They fled into the void, and a deity saved them.” There was a hint of regret flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Among all the powerful figures from Heavenly Realm faction, the ones he wanted to kill the most were Archangel Michael and Yin Yuanchen. They were the real culprits. If he did not kill them, he would not be able to let go of his hatred.

Moon Goddess could figure that the cultivators who had attacked Ziwei Palace must be the top elites of Heavenly Realm faction. Most of them had great potential to attain Supreme Sainthood or even godhood.

Heavenly Realm and its allies must be heartbroken over such heavy losses.

Moon Goddess said, “The one who tried to attack you was TrueGod Xuanyi of Heavenly Realm. He’s the ancestor of the Yin family. You’re lucky to escape from him.”

A cold light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He remembered the name ‘TrueGod Xuanyi’.

Come to think of it, TrueGod Xuanyi was likely linked to Heavenly Realm’s plot against Kunlun 100,000 years. Was his marriage with the daughter of Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations also part of the plan?’

Moon Goddess turned her gaze to the Altar of Saints. Seeing the Rogue Saints, she said, “The ‘Path of Azure’ that Bi Luozi created had been lost for 100,000 years. Now, it has returned. Could it be Kunlun’s environment is suitable for cultivation of Rogue Saints?”

Moon Goddess had preached in Kunlun before. Hence, she was familiar with the deities of Kunlun, including the Bi Luozi, who was rather different from others.

She also knew that practicing the ‘Path of Azure’ would require some special conditions. Therefore, after the Middle Ages, Rogue Saints were no longer visible in Kunlun. No one even knew about their existence.

Then, Moon Goddess looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, “The two dimensional coordinates that the Voidbridge of Chaos are connecting are located outside and inside Central Imperial City. It’s likely a means to transport Infernal Court’s army.”

“I can’t interfere with the affairs of Kunlun. You have to handle them. As for the deities outside Kunlun, you don’t have to worry about them.”

With that, Moon Goddess disappeared.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. The dimensional coordinates of the Voidbridge of Chaos in the Imperial City should be related to Saturn Peach Tree

Just as he had expected, Infernal Court had a role in this. The situation at the place where Saturn Peach Tree was must be worse than the situation at Ziwei Palace.

“The space where Saturn Peach Tree is is very special. We can only reach it through the dimensional teleportation array of Rainbow Pavilion. The Army of Infernal Court must have rushed to Rainbow Pavilion. We must stop them, ” the Nine-heavens Maiden’s anxious voice rang behind Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was no stranger to Rainbow Pavilion. Many years ago, Divine Scripture Maiden had asked him to meet there. It was a library with countless books.

“Go to Rainbow Pavilion immediately,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Nine-heavens Maiden looked straight at Zhang Ruochen and said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Father, I want to go too. I also want to fight for Kunlun.”Chi Kongyue walked forward with a determined look.

“We also want to go with you. Even if we die in battle, we won’t complain. Please help us, Prince of the Eastern Region.”

The cultivators of Kunlun’s Central Imperial Court spoke one after another with a firm attitude.

This battle was related to the fate of Kunlun. If they could not protect Saturn Peach Tree, it would be meaningless for them to live.

Seeing the determined looks in everyone’s eyes, Zhang Ruochen knew that it would be useless even if he tried to stop them.

Yan Liren stood at the top of the Altar of Saints and said in a clear voice, “Guardian Dragon Pavilion is at the command of Your Highness.”

The members of Guardian Dragon Pavilion shouted in unison, “We are at the command of Your Highness.”

Le had also returned to his position and occupied an important position on the altar.

“Junior, I will fight side by side you.”

“Bro, I’ll fight side by side you.”

“Bro, me too, I will fight side by side you with you.”

Three figures flew down from the altar and appeared beside Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were fixed on the three people. He looked surprised and then excited and eager.

He had never thought that the three people who had died would have a chance to meet again.

The trio was Hong Ya, the eldest disciple of Emperor Ming; Chen Daogu, the second disciple; and Lu Yuanzhi, the sixth disciple. They had all died a long time ago, but now they had reappeared in Kunlun.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen could see that Hong Ya, Chen Daogu, and Lu Yuanzhi were no longer mortals.

According to Moon Goddess, they must have practiced the “Path of Azure” founded by the legendary Bi Luozi, but he could not understand it at the moment.

“I am willing to fight with Your Highness.”

Hundreds of figures jumped down from the Altar of Saints and knelt down on one knee to Zhang Ruochen.

“Elder Liu, Elder Yuan, Bloodyrobe Heavenly Lord, …” No matter how steady his state of mind was, Zhang Ruochen could not help but feel a stir of emotions upon seeing the familiar faces.

The people kneeling in front of him were all former officials of Shengming Central Empire. Almost all of them had died in the battle against Chiqing Central Empire.

Seeing them was like seeing the once-prosperous Shengming Central Empire.

No matter the reason, as long as they could survive, it was undoubtedly something to be happy about.

“Isn’t that the famous Sword Saint Sevenkill from the Black Market 500 years ago? Rumor has it that he was killed by a headmaster of the Eastern Region Saint Academy. How could he appear here?”

“Didn’t Saint DarkWind die of old age 100 years ago?”

“That’s… Master Witherheart of Myriad Buddha Sect. He passed away 600 years ago and everyone knew about it. How is this possible…”

..

Looking at the figures on the Altar of Saints, the cultivators of Kunlun’s Central Imperial Court could no longer remain calm.

Before Kunlun recovered, the cultivation conditions were extremely poor. It was extremely difficult to advance to Sainthood.

Because of this, almost every Saint in Kunlun came with great fame. Once they died, it was enough to cause a commotion at the entire Kunlun.

But now, the Saints and Saint Kings who had died a long time ago reappeared. It was like a dream. It was really hard to understand.

The Nine-heavens Maiden’s beautiful eyes also showed a strange look. However, the next moment, she had an epiphany. Apparently, she managed to put two and two together and figured out something.

Zhang Ruochen had too many things to say to his old comrades—Hong Ya, Chen Daogu, and the others—but now was obviously not a good time. The situation at Rainbow Pavilion was critical, and there was no time to delay.

“Senior, let’s go fight against some cultivators of Infernal Court first and destroy their plots. I hope we can win and drink to our heart’s content when we celebrate,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Hong Ya, who had a head full of bloody red hair, laughed and said, “Well, I’ve been staying low for many years. Let’s have a big fight today. My knife is still sharp.”

Without delay, Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and put away the most precious treasures scattered in Ziwei Palace. Then, he ascended to the Altar of Saints.

The cultivators of Kunlun’s Central Imperial Court followed closely behind.

With the nourishment of the Spring of Life, the cultivators of Kunlun’s Central Imperial Court recovered quickly and regained their combat strength.

When they were onboard, they immediately took out healing pills, trying to heal themselves without wasting time.

“Break the seal of Ziwei Palace.”

Zhang Ruochen ordered.

Immediately, the members of Guardian Dragon Pavilion responded by fusing Saint Qi into the Altar of Saints.

The altar shook and blood flowed on the patterns quickly. Like a surging river, the altar was loud and deafening.

The Saint Qi in heaven and earth surged and gathered toward the altar.

Boom!

The altar unleashed an extremely violent Saint force.

Instantly, the seal set up by Heavenly Realm faction was destroyed.

Ziwei Palace’s real condition was revealed. It was in ruins, and many buildings had been turned into debris.

Fwoosh!

An intense murderous aura soared into the sky. The heaven and earth’s colors changed,

The entire area where Ziwei Palace was located had completely turned blood-red as if it was Infernal Court.

“What happened?”

Many Saints in the Imperial City immediately sensed something and inadvertently turned their gazes toward Ziwei Palace.

The Altar of Saints was hovering in midair, releasing a vast and mighty Saint aura as it flew toward Rainbow Pavilion at lightning speed.

In a luxurious saint mansion, the eyes of Zhou Yu were fixed on the saint mansion.

“Zh-Zh-Zhang Ruochen, he’s still alive. Could it be…”

Zhou Yu had a terrible guess.

He knew very well what had happened in Ziwei Palace.

Now that Zhang Ruochen had come out of Ziwei Palace, no one from Heavenly Realm faction had shown up. The result was very clear.

“How is it possible? So many leaders have attacked together, and there are even fallen people. How could they fail?” Zhou Yu was shocked and could not accept this reality.

As the leader of Heavenly Realm, he did not participate in the operation this time to numb everyone and avoid suspicion.

From the beginning to the end, he had never thought that he would fail, so he had even prepared a celebratory feast.

In another Saint Mansion, Jin Hong, the commander of Celestial Palace law enforcement team, stood on a three-hundred-foot-tall pavilion and looked at the flying Altar of Saints from afar.

“What a strong murderous aura. With Ziwei Palace in such a state, it seems that something big has happened. Is it another faction of Heavenly Realm stirring up the storm?”Jin Hong frowned slightly.

As the commander of Celestial Palace law enforcement team, he was disgraced by the continuous infighting after he entered Kunlun.

However, as the commander of the law enforcement team, would he really dare to intervene in the internal strife caused by dominant Macroworld?

It was too easy for a dominant Macroworld to make him disappear without a trace.

Swoosh

Figures flew out from various parts of the imperial city and approached the altar.

The people who came were all familiar faces. Murong Yefeng, Bao Lie, Feng Yan, Xiang Chunan, Zheng Yuan, Fairy Ci Hang, Luo Xu, Princess Bai Li, and so on.

There were also a group of awakened ones, including not only Thousandblade and Vermilion Aurum of the yin-yang Sea, but also Jiang Yunchong, Spirit-Devouring King, and Hong Xuanji.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen had summoned the awakened ones in advance in case of emergency.

Now was undoubtedly the time for them to play their role.

“Junior, what happened?”Zhenyuan asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “There are probably a large number of powerful figures in Infernal Court who have entered the imperial city to plot against the spiritual roots of the Kunlun.”

“I can’t believe this. Let me call Brother Lu and we’ll go together.”Zhenyuan’s eyes narrowed.

Xiang Chunan said, “Bro, I’ll go with you to kill all the powerful figures in Infernal Court.”

The situation was urgent. Zhang Ruochen did not have time to explain in detail. He immediately led them to the Altar of Saints and rushed to Rainbow Pavilion.

“Why are you so anxious? Where is Zhang Ruochen going?”

“Even Zhenyuan and Fairy Ci Hang have joined in. They represent the Five-Element Temple and Western Buddha Realm. I’m afraid something big has happened.”

“Ao Xukong and Nie Xiangzi have also rushed over. What are they doing? What’s the situation in Ziwei Palace?”

..

cultivators from all walks of life were puzzled. They all focused on the Altar of Saints and paid attention to Zhang Ruochen’s whereabouts. No one acted rashly for now.

There were also cultivators who entered the dilapidated Ziwei Palace to investigate.

When they saw the Heaven Lake and oasis filled with corpses and rivers of blood, especially the familiar faces, everyone could not help but gasp.

“Something big has happened!”

It was hard to imagine how big a wave would be caused by the fall of so many top masters from Heavenly Realm faction. CelestialPalace would probably be shaken by it.

In fact, Celestial Palace was already shaking.

The reason was that Moon Goddess had sent the news to Celestial Palace that the deities of Infernal Court were hiding in the void near Kunlun.

Almost at the same time, TrueGod Xuanyi of Heavenly Realm also sent the same news to Celestial Palace.

His purpose was very obvious. He wanted to get rid of all ties.

After all, if he did not do so, he might be charged with colluding with Infernal Court.

This was a big taboo, and no one could bear it.

Within a short period of time, Celestial Palace sent out many gods, led by Wargod Bian Zhuang.

Of course, this was the request of Wargod Bian Zhuang. According to him, the matters of Moon Goddess were his matters. He was not at ease with other gods leading the team.

At the same time, Fane of Truth sent out some deities, led by its lord.

That was because Moon Goddess had sensed the aura of Huang Tian of Stone Clan in the void near Kunlun. Huang Tian was the disgrace of the Fane of Truth. They had to kill him and take back Canon of Truth.

On the other side, Western Buddha Realm, the Five Elements Temple, and other forces also had gods.

The starry sky where Kunlun was located was soon filled with divine power. The stars trembled and beams of divine light illuminated heaven and earth.

When the deities of Celestial Court rushed to the outside of Kunlun, Empress Chi Yao had already arrived ahead of them.

How could she not sense the great changes that had happened in Ziwei Palace?

“It’s been a long time since I’ve killed a deity from Infernal Court. It’s time for Heavenly Mugwort Bell to be stained with some more divine blood.”Wargod Bian Zhuang stood on the top of a star and looked at the Kunlun in the distance.

Buzzz!

Heavenly Mugwort Bell flew out of Wargod Bian Zhuang’s hand and entered the pitch-black universe, piercing through a vast space.

Instantly, the deities of Celestial Court moved together and entered the void.

After the Middle Ages, large-scale battles between Celestial Court and Infernal Court rarely broke out. But today, with the deities gathered, a battle was inevitable.
