Chapter 880: Heavenly Retribution

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The hundred thousand gods stood vigilantly and readied themselves for war against the one-man army. City Lord Yu Jun of the Sixth Divine City was a Creator himself. Ever since his appointment, the wildman Fu Li had waged war against his city far more times than he could count.

Just recently, Fu Li lead the Star Torrent Fortress’s other wildmen to invade the city. They successfully raided the city, enslaving countless gods from the Sixth Divine City. If it weren’t for him that ran faster than the others, perhaps even the city lord would’ve been enslaved as well.

Why is this wildman always here for our Sixth Divine City? What fetish is this that keeps bringing him here instead of any other divine cities…?  The grey-haired City Lord Yu Jun stood on the city wall, murmuring to himself in anxiety.

Fu Li hoisted his huge bone club onto his shoulders as he grinned, “City Lord Yu Jun, long time no see, how are you?”

“Wildman Fu Li, what do you want?” City Lord Yu Jun shouted back, “Today, do not dare of laying foot in my divine city!”

Mu Suge quickly interrupted, “City lord, I am Xian Tian Palace’s Mu Suge, ordered by the higher-ups to make Fu Li yield and recruit him. City lord, you may now be at ease. This is Mister Yi, King Yi of our Xian Tian Palace.”

This wildman was made to yield? City Lord Yu Jun was shocked, he took out a mirror and shone it on Mu Suge, inspecting his identity. As soon as he verified that Mu Suge wasn’t a disguise, he heaved a breath of relief and opened the city gates to welcome the trio. He laughed happily, “Third Prince Mu is truly exceptional, to even make this wildman yield. You’ve helped remove a major migraine from our Sixth Divine City.”

Mu Suge thanked humbly, then said, “Brother Fu Li and the Star Torrent Fortress has been recruited, they will be no threat to the Sixth Divine City anymore. Yu Jun, please be at ease.”

City Lord Yu Jun laughed, “I’ve never been afraid of him before! Little Brother Fu Li, how presumptuous you wildmen were, how is it that you people are now willing to be recruited? Now, do you know how mighty heaven is?”

Fu Li waved his huge bone club and smirked nefariously, “Little old man, you haven’t been enough beating lately, have you? What almighty heaven? I am recruited by the Xian Tian Palace, not the Heaven Court!”

City Lord Yu Jun didn’t dare to provoke further, he quickly smiled, “The Sixth Divine City is one of the divine cities in the Zi Wei Galaxy, we don’t belonging to Heavenly Monarch’s faction either.”

Then, Zhong Yue smiled with hidden meaning, he said, “City lord, the situations is still not clear yet between the Heaven Court and Xian Tian Palace. The Sixth Divine City floats alone in the ancient universe, it is a good location yet at the same time, a perilous one. Make decisions only when the outcome is clear, then your city will be a good location; otherwise, it’d be more than easy to tear a city down into ruins in the ancient universe.”

City Lord Yu Jun stiffened up his heart, he thanked, “Thank you for the guidance, Mister Yi. Yu Jun knows what should be done.”

“Open the gates, quickly.”

“The gates, now!”

Zhong Yue traced the clamor to outside the city and his heart skipped a beat. Fourteen huge earthen jars were being flown to the city outskirts

“The Heavenly Prison’s wardens!” City Lord Yu Jun exclaimed in shock and quickly ordered the city gates to be opened.

Any form of flying above the city would immediately be seen as threat, and thus, countless seals and slaughtering arrays were placed in the skies of the Sixth Divine City.

Zhong Yue was quiet and unmoved as the city gates opened. The Heavenly Wardens sealed in the earthen jars flew into the city. Their faces were dark and gloomy and City Lord Yu Jun stepped forward in an attempt to help disarm the seals and release the 14 Heavenly Wardens.

“Don’t touch anything!” One of the Heavenly Wardens shouted strictly, “The Jitong Clan has used a monarch weapon to seal us into one with these godly jars. Do not touch a single thing, these earthen jars are linked to our lives. They break, we die!”

City Lord Yu Jun was greatly shocked and quickly stopped.

The 14 earthen jars and the 14 Heavenly Wardens were forged into a kind of peculiar living creatures by the Jitong Clan’s monarch weapon. Half of them were the flesh and blood while the other were divine weapons. Contained within the earthen jars was their flesh but while the jars were initially a container, they were now fused to their bodies and Yuan Shen into a singular entity!

This was beyond the realm of mere skills, this was a means to wield the art of Six Paths Reincarnations, to use it to recreate existing living creatures into a new form of life!

Clearly, these 14 Heavenly Wardens were defeated by the Jitong Clan experts. Then, the Jitong Clan joined them together with the earthen jars as humiliation.

This Jitong Clan is really audacious, they even dare to fight the Heavenly Wardens. Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes and he thought, Moreover, they turned the Heavenly Wardens into half earthen jar creatures! Can the Heaven Court and Heavenly Prison endure such unconcealed humiliations? Seems like this universe is really tumbling into chaos. A war that would suck all of the Zi Wei Galaxy and ancient universe is inevitable!

The Jitong Clan was challenging the new order, the Heavenly Monarch. This alone proved that the Jitong Clan was looking to disrupt the status quo, and that they had wild ambitions.

When the 14 Heavenly Wardens returned, the Heaven Court and Heavenly Prison would find themselves shamed relentlessly by the Jitong Clan. Seeing that their fame and reputation was trashed, as the Heavenly Monarch and the ruler of the new order, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming would no doubt take swift on the Jitong Clan.

After all, he was the Son of Heaven, and the Heavenly Wardens were the servants to the “Heaven”. Thus, as the Son of Heaven, he would have to defend their name and reputation.

But if the Zi Wei Galaxy marched for the Jitong Clan, they would have to enter the ancient universe. This alone would immediately break the stalemate between the celestials and demons in the ancient universe that had lasted for eons!

Currently, the ancient universe’s celestials and demons were in eternal conflict. After eons of war and death, they had finally reached a very delicate truce, just like Zhong Yue’s [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art].

However, if the Zi Wei Galaxy’s forces really did march upon the ancient universe, they would act like a rock that was crashed down into a pool of still water. The balance of Yin and Yang, celestial and demon, would crumble in an instant, and chaos would quickly ensue!

The monarch races like Jinwu Clan would surely stand against the Heaven Court’s forces while the demon race’s monarch races would try to reap the most benefits from both sides. This would eventually lead to the outbreak of war between the celestials and demons, erupting the longstanding hatred of the ancient universe’s celestials and demons.

Although the Jitong Clan was definitely intentionally doing it of their free will, the mastermind and true culprit was no doubt Si Ming. Zhong Yue thought, Consort Tian Si brought chaos to the Zi Wei Galaxy and Si Ming erupted chaos in the ancient universe. The two of them are both talents no weaker than the best of men. First, the Zi Wei Galaxy, followed by the ancient universe. The next area would then have to be the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds?

Meanwhile, City Lord Yu Jun hurriedly activated the teleportation formation and sent the 14 Heavenly Wardens away into the teleportation beam.

Then, Zhong Yue, Fu Li, and Mu Suge also walked into the formation for the Seventh Divine City.

When they reached the Seventh Divine City, their injuries were all fully recovered and their prowess returned to their peak form. Without any delay, they rushed for the Eighth Divine City just seconds after arriving in the Seventh Divine City.

Even with the teleportation formation, it still took half a year’s time for them to travel to the Eighth Divine City.

“Hmm? Mister Yi, it’s a surprise to see you here.” All of a sudden, a soft exclamation came from the side.

Zhong Yue traced the voice and laughed, he said, “Consort Tian Si.”

Consort Tian Si was still with the Celestial Emperor Bi Xie. They had just arrived at the Eighth Divine City from the Ninth. As the two now met unexpectedly, rays could be seen flashing in both of their eyes.

Zhong Yue smiled and asked, “Consort, where to this time?”

Consort Tian Si chortled, “Orders for me to head for the lower realms, some matters have to be taken care of down there. I am never allowed to be free, always occupied by orders that never stopped coming, throwing me here and there, all over the places. I really do wish I can stay home and rest for a few days. But shame, my duty outweighs my personal needs. Mister, are you going back to Zi Wei?”

Zhong Yue nodded with a smile, “My work is done here, it’s time to return and report.”

“Then, Mister, you’ll have to be cautious around.” Consort Tian Si smiled, “The Zi Wei Galaxy is not so peaceful now, war is breaking out almost everywhere. The people are suffering.”

Zhong Yue replied placidly, “Whoever caused the people to suffer will be punished by Heaven. The evildoers must be very, very careful or they’ll find themselves dead very soon. Consort, since you are going to the 3,00 Six Paths Worlds, if there’s time, please head to the Yong Ming Six Paths World and visit an old friend of mine. This Karmic Line will help guide you there.”

A Karmic Line emerged on his fingertip and it flew softly toward Consort Tian Si.

Consort Tian Si stiffened her heart, she kept mum for a moment before keeping the Karmic Line. Then, she smiled, “I thank Mister Yi’s for his advice. Mister, I should go now.”

Zhong Yue nodded and Consort Tian Si lead Celestial Emperor Bi Xie and left.

“Mister, who is this Consort Tian Si?” Mu Suge suddenly asked, “Mister seemed to value her very much. For one to be able to attract your attention, she must be someone exceptional.”

“A wise lady, her wisdom is equal to as mine as well as King Zi Guang’s.” Zhong Yue smiled as he answered, “She was the one that was responsible for the chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, and now, her next target is the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds. Her actions are also helping us saving some energy. Let’s go, there is no need to focus on her too much. If one day in the future, she stands on the opposing side of Xian Tian Palace, I’ll kill her myself.”

The three then rushed for the Ninth Divine City.

Rays flashed across Celestial Emperor Bi Xie’s eyes, he said, “Consort, the silk line he gave you, does it…”

Consort Tian Si’s beautiful countenance was also solemn, she said, “I don’t know, but he saved our lives. We owe him one.”

“Saved our lives?” Celestial Emperor Bi Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

Consort Tian Si nodded, “If he didn’t say it, I still wouldn’t know that disrupting the peace and bringing suffering to those of the realm would bring Heavenly Retribution to those that do so. As soon as he said this, I meticulously calculated and reinspected our Karmic Lines, sure enough, I found trillions of Karmic Lines crawling on ours. These are the Karmic Lines from the suffering souls affected by our actions of bringing chaos to the Zi Wei Galaxy! I am afraid the two of us will soon find ourselves haunted by the Heavenly Retributions. At that point, death would not far away from us! He saw all of it, and that’s why he warned me!”

Celestial Emperor Bi Xie was shocked while Consort Tian Si looked at the Karmic Line wrapping around her fingertip. She said, “Don’t you worry, this silk line he gave me belongs to a celestial emperor’s Karmic Line. If my deductions are correct, this celestial emperor is an Innate Curse Spirit Body. He should be able to help us with our upcoming danger.”

…

“Only by reaching the Ninth Divine City can we ensure our safety!” Fu Li said solemnly, “Two years have passed since then. Even if Wu Dulang’s injuries have not fully recovered, he will still be able to recover at least 80% of his combat ability!”

Now, Zhong Yue and the other two were on their way to the Ninth Divine City. They were all agitated and anxious as to whether could reach the Ninth Divine City safely.

Wu Dulang was an Imperial Emperor innate demon god, his prowess was so strong that the likes of Wu Dulang didn’t even have to take the Starry Paths in the ancient universe as they were able to fly faster than the teleportation beams himself!

The only question remaining unanswered was how much has he recovered his prowess.

Mu Suge murmured softly, “I pray that we are able to reach the Ninth Divine City before he catches up to us…”

As time flashed by, they were getting closer to the Ninth Divine City and the trio have all relaxed their hearts a little. Zhong Yue smiled, “Just another quarter and we’ll be in the Ninth Divine City. From there, we’ll be able to teleport straight into the Zi Wei Galay.”

It was then, a violent rumble came from behind and they quickly turned their heads around in shock. The endless black demonic Qi has swallowed everything in it and rammed down right on them!

What’s more, was that the demonic Qi still had a shape. It looked like a gargantuan head and its face was Wu Dulang’s. His strangely handsome face was now nefarious-looking, his mouth filled with sharp teeth open wide that gnawed down on the teleportation beam!

The head was so huge that the teleportation beam looked like a little silk thread and the Ninth Divine City a little peach that was getting eaten by it!
