"You have the complete Netherlord authority!"

Consort Ming screamed in horrified anger, unable to fathom, let alone believe, that Wu Yan could possess the complete Netherlord authority.

Zhao Xu suddenly leaped out, a flash of Silver Light in his hand, and his Silver Piercing Spear thrust out like lightning.

"Ah, you dare!"

Consort Ming howled miserably, in excruciating pain, as the Silver Piercing Spear pierced through his chest, impaling him completely.

Zhao Xu's expression was solemn; he gripped the Silver Piercing Spear tightly and spun it, resulting in a thunderous boom. Silver Light exploded, terrifying Power erupted, and Consort Ming's body burst open like fireworks.

Noticing something was amiss, Yang Jie, Zhu Yu, and Chi Mei quickly employed their Escape Art and turned to flee.

Prepared for this, Zhu Yun, Mei Jun, Li Qi, and others instantly employed their Escape Art to intercept, appearing before Yang Jie, Zhu Yu, and Chi Mei in a blink, blocking their path.

Boom! Bang! Hiss!

The group attacked simultaneously, unleashing their assaults on Yang Jie, Zhu Yu, and Chi Mei; black light, silver light, and golden light interwove in the sky, setting off explosions of terrifying energies that sparked myriad hues of Brilliance.

"The true eastern domain has the complete Netherlord authority, quickly inform Lord Cang Yu!"

Chi Mei, with his dying breath, bellowed loudly to the Guard at the entrance of the Ceremony Site, issuing a warning.

"Report! Lord Cang Yu, it's terrible—the Lord Consort Ming, Lord Yang Jie, Lord Zhu Yu, and Lord Chi Mei have all been killed by the true eastern domain. Lord Chi Mei sent a message before his death, saying that the true eastern domain has the complete Netherlord authority!"

A Guard rushed into the Ceremony Site and reported to Cang Yu in haste.

"Where did the true eastern domain get a complete Netherlord authority?"

Cang Yu, presiding the ceremony, stood up abruptly from his seat, his complexion pale with disbelief that the human world could have a complete Netherlord authority.

"Report, Lord Cang Yu, people from the true eastern domain are attacking us!"

Another Guard burst in, knelt down, and reported to Cang Yu.

"Quick, summon all the experts performing the ceremony to come out and join me in facing the enemy."

Upon Cang Yu's order, a Yin God Realm expert rushed into the Ceremony Site to call for people, and soon, five Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses walked out from within.

These five Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses included one at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, two in the late stage, and two in the middle stage; together with Cang Yu, they were all the powerhouses above the Divine Spirit Realm present at the Ceremony Site.

Counting Lei Qi, Cen Feng, and others who attacked Azure Sky City, as well as Consort Ming, Yang Jie, and others, plus the Guard of Tai Cang and Zou Zhi from the Five Elements Sect guarding the outskirts of the Canglin Region, this force was confidently expected to take Azure Sky City.

There was no issue with the arrangement from beyond the heavens, only the occurrence of an unforeseen accident.

Among the five Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses that emerged from the Ceremony Site, the one at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm was a three-headed woman, a mighty one from the Life and Death Sect named Lei Yue.

The two late-stage Divine Spirit Realm middle-aged men, one stout and one slim, were both from the Five Elements Sect, and the remaining two mid-stage Divine Spirit Realm cultivators of plain appearance were one from the Life and Death Sect and one from the Five Elements Sect.

"Lord Cang Yu, have the people from the true eastern domain really attacked us?"

As soon as the five emerged, Lei Yue's complexion changed as she questioned Cang Yu in surprise, not expecting that the human world would have the capacity to attack the Ceremony Site.

Before Cang Yu could respond to her words, the sound of combat suddenly erupted from the tunnel entrance, accompanied by screams of agony—those were the sounds of the Guards outside the tunnel being slain.

Soon after, Escape Light flared up, and figures emerged from the tunnel into the Ceremony Site.

Seven silhouettes gradually materialized from the Escape Light, naturally drawing the gaze of Cang Yu and the others.

"People from the true eastern domain, you're Wu Yan, Zhu Yun, Zhao Xu... are you the Guards of Azure Sky City?"

Cang Yu's gaze landed on the newcomers, and he quickly identified their origins.

In fact, before the attack on Azure Sky City, beyond the heavens had already thoroughly investigated the identities of everyone in the city, knowing the background of each individual.

"Xiao Mu!"

Lei Yue's gaze wandered among Wu Yan, Zhu Yun, and the others; when she saw Xiao Mu, her eyes suddenly fixed, and her body shook violently.

Surprised yet elated, she never expected Xiao Mu would turn up here.

This was a man whom Emperor Taija himself had ordered to be executed—all who killed him would be appointed as True Gods.

"Xiao Mu! You are Xiao Mu!"

The moment Lei Yue's words fell, the others, including Cang Yu and the four other Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses from beyond the heavens, even the ordinary Yin God Realm beings, all instantly focused their attention on Xiao Mu.

A man who could issue a challenge in the presence of Emperor Taija compelled their undivided attention.

"Xiao Mu, you dare to appear here!"

Cang Yu stared at Xiao Mu and sneered coldly.

"Why wouldn't I dare to appear here?"

Xiao Mu retorted unapologetically.

Cang Yu's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly realized something was off—the true eastern domain had advanced to the Ceremony Site, and Xiao Mu's presence obviously had support.

Finally, his gaze roved from Xiao Mu to Zhu Yun and Zhao Xu, then settled on Wu Yan, and in that instant, his stare froze.

He fixed a deathly stare on Wu Yan, "Wu Yan, you've obtained the complete Netherlord authority!"

"Your eyesight is quite good!"

Wu Yan calmly complimented the other party, but then he took a step back.

Although he was the strongest among them from the human world, his position was not as their leader; to exchange words with Cang Yu was not his place.

Zhu Yun stepped forward slowly, shoulder to shoulder with Wu Yan, staring at Cang Yu, "You must be the one sent by the Heavenly Court to attack Azure Sky City."

"You are Zhu Yun, I recognize you."
