Da Luo Heaven.
The Fierce Empress, after dealing with her brother Ye Hao's True Spirit, lifted her head to gaze upon the hundred thousand great mountains in the Primordial Land.
Now commanding the Power of Transcendence, she could peer across the ages; the schemes of Donghuang Taiyi and others did not escape her eyes.
"Hehe!"
"Finished fighting and thinking of running away, as if I don't exist?"
Beneath the Ghost Face Mask, the corner of the Fierce Empress's mouth lifted ever so slightly, sketching a chilling cold smile. She shouted toward the Order Officer outside the Palace of the Polestar: "Summon the Four Imperial Venerable, the Five Directions Five Elders, the Eight Divisions' Main Generals, the Five Directions War Gods, the Judicial Celestial, and others for an audience!"
"Yes!"
The Order Officer shouted in response and then went to convey the instructions.
Soon.
All the deities of note in the Heavenly Court gathered in the Palace of the Polestar, awaiting the Fierce Empress's directives.
Among these deities were both former members of the Heavenly Court and newcomers.
Whether new or old, all showed great respect before the Fierce Empress, daring not to show any sign of defiance.
"Is everyone present?"
The Fierce Empress, dressed in Heavenly Emperor's regalia emitting ten colors of precious light, exuded an imposing aura that gave off a presence as if confronting Tao itself.
"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, everyone has arrived!"
Gold Star Taibai stepped forward to report to the Fierce Empress, his expression exceedingly reverent, like that of a zealot to the Fierce Empress.
"Hmm!"
The Fierce Empress, who could see through the ages, would naturally know whether everyone had arrived.
It was just a formality to ask.
"The Demon Race disobeys Taiyi, wishing to alliance with the defiant members of the Myriad Races. Three days from now, they plan to convene at the Heavenly Pool, plotting to tear down the Heavenly Pool's barrier to venture into the vast, boundless Boundary Sea!"
"On this matter! What do you all think?"
The deities of the Heavenly Court had guessed what the Fierce Empress was about to say even before they came, so none stood to oppose, all expressing agreement.
"Suppression!"
"It's time for a reckoning! They mustn't be allowed to remain above the law!"
"The dignity of the Heavenly Court cannot be tarnished; these rebels should be rightly suppressed!"
"..."
The Fierce Empress was very pleased with the responses of the Heavenly Court deities, nodding with a smile, "Since you all believe that suppressing the rebels is the best solution, then let's proceed with your collective advice!"
"Excluding the Four Imperial of the Heavenly Court, all other officials are to heed my command!"
"I order you to depart from the Heavenly Court immediately and head to the Primordial Land to intercept the rebel Alliance Army!"
"This time, I shall nip their dreams in the bud!"
"Yes!"
Except for the Four Imperial, the rest answered and then turned to leave the Palace of the Polestar, returning to their respective Divine Palaces. They mobilized their forces to head to the Primordial Land to suppress the rebels.
They dared not defy the Fierce Empress's orders and could only follow them.
"This time, I will have them exterminated!"
The Fierce Empress watched as the various divisions departed, the beauty in her eyes exposed beyond the Ghost Face Mask emitting two dreadfully cold glints, like two infinitely sharp swords, compelling those who saw them to involuntarily bow their heads in fear, unwilling to meet her gaze.
From this, one can see just how fearsome the Fierce Empress was at this moment!
The Four Imperial of the Heavenly Court were the strongest beings after the Fierce Empress.
They had no objections to the Fierce Empress's commands, and not a single one stood up to speak for the members of the Myriad Races.
To them, it didn't matter if all the members of the Myriad Races perished, as long as their own clan members weren't killed.
Moreover, they were aware that after the Fierce Empress became the Heavenly Emperor, she would inevitably take action to suppress the members of the Myriad Races who participated in the rebellion.
Even with their outspoken opposition, they couldn't change the command of the Fierce Empress.
Instead of opposing her, it might be better to lend support, to avoid being suppressed by the Fierce Empress.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Within the ten thousand great mountains, the Demon Race, Witch Clan, Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin, and other races, all left their habitats, heading towards the agreed-upon location.
The strong ones from the Immortal Realm, Demon Domain, and Spiritual Realm who participated in the rebellion against the Human Race also left their respective cultivation grounds at the same time, heading to the gathering point to meet with the Witch Demon and other groups.
However, the Buddhist Sect took a different approach. Not a single person went to the gathering place; instead, they all went to the Heavenly Pool, which seemed quite out of place!
"Sigh! I hope my uncle's strategy will be successful, otherwise we are all in danger!"
"There's no need to worry about The Buddha. The machinations of Donghuang have thrown Time into chaos, no one will be aware of our plans; please, be at ease!"
"Yes! The Buddha, with the likes of Donghuang drawing attention at the gathering place, I believe no one will notice us!"
"..."
Listening to the comfort provided by Zhunti, Guiding, and others, the Great Sun Tathagata took a deep breath and heavily nodded, saying, "I hope so!"
Having said that, he spoke no more and closed his eyes to rest and rejuvenate.
Seeing this, Zhunti, Guiding, and others also stopped talking and sat in their respective places, silently watching ahead.
The Golden-Winged Dapeng is the Great Peng Ming King of the Buddhist Sect, effortlessly supporting the entire Spiritual Mountain in its true form.
With its swift speed, it reached near the Heavenly Pool in just a short while.
In another moment, it would be able to enter the Heavenly Pool.
At that time, they would be one step closer to success.
However, all the Buddhist beings on Spiritual Mountain showed no joy; instead, they showed expressions of despair and unwillingness.
Because at the entrance to the Heavenly Pool stood two towering figures with majestic presence, they were the Mysterious Venerate Hong Jun and the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi of the Heavenly Court.
Clearly, their presence here was no coincidence!
"Oh, isn't this Dijun's youngest son? What's up, bringing Spiritual Mountain for a little tour to the Heavenly Pool?"
Hong Jun's withered face revealed a mocking and cunning smile, plunging the hearts of the Great Sun Tathagata and the others to rock bottom.
But some still harbored a sliver of fantasy, believing that the presence of Hong Jun and Zhen Yuanzi was a coincidence, not to obstruct them.
Zhunti was one of them.
He looked at the two standing at the entrance to the Heavenly Pool and asked with a smile, "Why are you two Venerates not enjoying the bliss of Heavenly Court, and instead coming here? Could it be that there's a mission from Heavenly Court?"
"Hehehe!" Hong Jun looked at Zhunti, who was putting on an act, with a playful expression and said, "Zhunti, what do you think we are doing here?"
"Heh!" Zhunti's smile froze for a moment, then he forced a laugh and said, "How would I know why you two Venerates are here?"
"Don't know?" Hong Jun suddenly laughed strangely: "Is it really that you don't know, or are you playing dumb?"
"These little tricks of Taiyi are a joke in front of the Empress!"
"So, I advise you all to give up and surrender. Otherwise, don't blame us for suppressing you all!"
As Hong Jun spoke, the smile on his face gradually turned cold, and the mysterious power around him began to spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it spread to within three feet of the Golden-Winged Dapeng.
Continuing at this rate, in the next breath, it would envelop them.
"Yes! In the vast Primordial Land, there will always be a place for the Buddhist Sect to dwell, no need to be in a hurry to leave!"
The new Heavenly Venable and Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, spoke calmly, not as cold as Hong Jun but his words carried an undeniable force, which made the heart of the Great Sun Tathagata sink to the bottom.
"Sigh!"
The Great Sun Tathagata sighed inwardly, this world was indeed not so easy to overcome.
"Enough!"
"We have to face the extraordinary, otherwise, we won't pass through!"
The Great Sun Tathagata sent a telepathic message to Zhunti, Guiding, and the others, then raised his head, his eyes shooting endless flames, like two golden crows, emitting an intense heat.
