Chapter 730: Chapter 41: Sun and Moon Shine Together, Lord of the Mansion Blocks the Path

Boom!

Accompanied by a huge explosion.

The Great Golden Crow, the first to arrive at Kunlun Mountain, revealed its form, the blazing sun scorching the earth.

Fortunately, although the Great Golden Crow was anxious, it kept in mind its identity.

Constantly restraining the heat around it, preventing a drought that would crack the earth and dry up riverbeds.

It was at this moment that the "Heaven-Sundering Ladder" connecting heaven and earth once again glowed with light.

The [Ascension Stairs] is the bridge connecting heaven and earth, the only road to the Celestial Emperor’s Capital.

However, under the manipulation of the Lord of the Netherworld, the current [Ascension Stairs] is connected not to the Celestial Emperor’s Capital but to the Netherworld.

When that fatal Nether Qi blew out from the [Ascension Stairs]...

When the reflection of the Netherworld appeared on the ladder above...

Even the Great Golden Crow showed astonishment, looking incredulously at what should have been the Celestial Emperor’s Capital.

This silent sleight of hand is far more outrageous and shocking than the Jinhong Clan forcibly prying open the gates of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital.

"Lord of the Netherworld!"

With a long howl to the sky, the voice of the Great Golden Crow echoed between heaven and earth.

One after another, golden hot beams pierced the heavens and earth, shooting unhesitatingly toward the reflection of the Netherworld.

Each of these beams was a condensation of True Sun Fire from high-temperature heat, each possessing the supreme divine might to annihilate demons.

Throughout history, perhaps only Emperor Hao and the Great Golden Crow could condense such exaggerated and terrifying heat into light beams without causing additional heat leakage.

Under such circumstances, no one doubted that these light beams would penetrate the ground of the Netherworld, burning that place of only cold and nether to ashes.

Swoosh!

At the critical moment, Shentu and Yu Lei, the guardians of the Netherworld, appeared right in front of those light beams.

Shentu with a tiger’s head and human body, Yu Lei with horns on its head.

These two guardian deities of the Netherworld come from a distant future but possess power beyond ordinary gods.

Even though they have not yet embarked on the path of enlightenment in this era, by relying on the power of the Netherworld behind them and the support of the Lord of the Netherworld, they still managed to jointly block those fierce light beams.

Boom!

Seeing this, the anger in the eyes of the Great Golden Crow grew even stronger.

If it was merely a guess before, it is now almost certain that it is the Lord of the Netherworld pulling the strings from behind.

Because Shentu and Yu Lei, as guardians of the Netherworld, could only be commanded by the Lord of the Netherworld.

"What exactly do you want to do!?"

With wings suddenly spread, the gigantic form of the Great Golden Crow obscured Kunlun.

Everywhere it looked, the scorching True Sun Fire started raining down like raindrops over the Netherworld.

Following closely, Heng’e’s figure also appeared in the skies above Kunlun, coldly staring at the reflection of the Netherworld not far away.

Compared to the violent, domineering Great Golden Crow, Heng’e appeared without a sound, just like moonlight at night.

Yet the moment she arrived, a chill quietly descended.

It matched the violent True Sun Fire, countering the Nether Qi surging from the Netherworld.

Before those Nether cold winds could sweep out of Kunlun, they were engulfed and funneled back into the Netherworld by the surging Power of Taiyin.

"True Water of Taiyin!?"

Even Shen Tu, who was expressionless facing the True Sun Fire, changed his face at this moment.

Because as soon as the most yin, cold Power of Taiyin entered the Netherworld, it transformed into True Water of Taiyin, corroding the sky, the earth, and the Nether River of the Netherworld.

This silent invasion is much harder to resist than the True Sun Fire of the Great Golden Crow.

Most crucially, Heng’e’s appearance seemed like a signal.

The remaining nine Golden Crows, the Celestial Emperor’s subordinates, and some Pathfinders also descended one after another, launching a total attack on the reflection of the Netherworld.

......................................................

On the Taiyin Star, in the Guanghan Palace.

The eleven Moon Gods, led by Chang’e, were not in the mood to pay attention to the battlefield below.

Because in front of them were numerous goddesses and the Celestial Emperor’s children, forcibly teleported out of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital by Chang Xi, waiting anxiously and bewilderedly for their arrangements.

To properly accommodate these goddesses and siblings, the eleven Moon Gods were extremely busy and overwhelmed.

The only consolation was that most of these gods, forcibly removed for a long time, had already recognized the reality.

Except for a few goddesses like Lingxi, who clamored to return to the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, the rest basically obeyed the arrangements of the Moon Gods.

"It’s not that we don’t want to, but we really can’t."

Looking helplessly at Lingxi opposite her, Chang’e patiently advised.

Although Lingxi was Emperor Hao’s beloved consort, her age was much younger compared to Chang’e and the other Moon Gods.

As the Morning Star God born only a thousand years ago, Lingxi seemed more like a junior in Chang’e’s eyes than an elder.

"Why?"

Staring at Chang’e without blinking, Lingxi evidently didn’t understand why the other party wouldn’t let them leave Guanghan Palace.

"Haven’t you felt it?"

"There’s a powerful pressure preventing everyone from going to Kunlun."

Taking a deep look at Lingxi, Chang’e patiently explained.

"Elder Sister said that it’s the power of the Lord of the Netherworld..."

"We are currently in Guanghan Palace, under the protection of the Taiyin Star, so we don’t feel this pressure."

"Once we leave the Taiyin Star, that pressure is strong enough to kill weaker gods."

At this point, Chang’e pointed to the stars outside.

"Look, haven’t you noticed that not all Celestial Gods have gone to Kunlun?"

Following the voice, Lingxi indeed saw that most of the gods chose to stand by.

These gods included both the Celestial Emperor’s subordinates and ancient ones and Pathfinders on Heng’e’s side...

Whether actively or passively, they all chose not to intervene in the upcoming war.

"What about Baize?"

"Why can he go to Kunlun?"

Although Baize was the Celestial Emperor’s military advisor, his weakness was well-known.

Without the Celestial Emperor’s support, Baize wouldn’t even have become a Celestial God.

"Because he is Baize."

After a brief silence, Chang’e said in a low voice.

Baize indeed did not qualify to intervene in the upcoming war.

As his wisdom had no room to play a role.

But whether for his loyalty or belief, Baize resolutely chose to follow Heng’e to Kunlun.

"..."

With a slight blink of her eyes, somewhat understanding, Lingxi turned to look at the Kunlun territory below.

The skyward light column remained, except what appeared was no longer the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, but the reflection of the Netherworld.

"So, what exactly does the Lord of the Netherworld want to do?"

Asking a question identical to the Great Golden Crow, Lingxi’s face was filled with confusion.
