If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1010 Burying the Heavenly Emperor Ancestor
The intense light of Heaven dissipated, and the Heavenly Emperor revealed his majestic countenance. All the immortals and gods bowed and paid their respects to the Heavenly Emperor.

Beneath the beaded crown, the Heavenly Emperor's young and handsome face was so indifferent, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He slowly sat down, placing his hands on the dragon-head-shaped armrests.

As soon as he sat down, two golden dragons rose up along the throne, intertwined behind the chair, and then looked up to look down at the immortals and gods filling the hall.

Li Ya gazed at the Heavenly Emperor from afar. He could sense that the Heavenly Emperor's aura was different each time he entered the Lingxiao Palace.

This new Heavenly Emperor is growing at an extremely rapid pace.

Li Ya couldn't help but sigh that there were always higher levels to reach. In the lower realm, he had grown at a remarkable pace thanks to his good fortune, but after arriving in the Heavenly Court, he discovered that his talent and comprehension were so mediocre that they were not worth mentioning at all.

The Heavenly Emperor surveyed all the immortals and gods, and slowly spoke: "Today we discuss the matter of the God-Slaying List. What do you immortals and gods have to say?"

Upon hearing this, the immortals and gods were immediately agitated and began to denounce the God-Slaying List, plunging the Lingxiao Palace into chaos.

Li Ya listened quietly. He knew he had no right to speak. His most prominent moment in the Heavenly Court was right after his ascension. After that, the Heavenly Gods and Immortals no longer paid him any attention.

The Heavenly Emperor listened without any change in expression, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

The fall of a supreme immortal in Heaven was enough to terrify the gods and immortals, but only the supreme Heavenly Dao could remain calm.

The fall of the supreme immortal shakes the foundation of the Heavenly Court and the fearless hearts of the immortals and gods. They were able to fight on against the endless invasion of chaos because they were immortal. Now that they know they may die, they will surely be filled with trepidation when they fight again.

Some deities suggested that they should do everything in their power to suppress the spread of the God-Slaying List and investigate the mastermind behind it. Others suggested that the current battle strategy should not be changed, as the other side was clearly trying to undermine the morale of the Heavenly Court's army.

Regardless of opinions, the threat posed by the Godslaying List to the Heavenly Court cannot be ignored, and measures must be taken.

Some deities even suggested that the Immortal of Merit investigate, because the Immortal of Merit relies not only on the fortune of Heaven, but also on merit.

Merit is even more difficult to capture than fortune. Since ancient times, we have heard of fortune being devoured, but we have never heard of merit being devoured.

Li Ya, however, was somewhat resistant to this, believing that the Immortal of Merit was a deity who brought blessings to all living beings, not a guardian deity.

Just as Li Ya hesitated whether to speak, a gust of wind blew in from the gate of the Lingxiao Palace, blowing the hems of the robes and the strands of hair of all the immortals and gods, causing them to turn their heads to look.

Outside the gates of the Lingxiao Palace, the sky was a deep blue, with a sea of ​​clouds dotting the distance, a magnificent and boundless sight, without any unusual phenomena in sight.

The Heavenly Emperor, seated on his throne, narrowed his eyes. The two golden dragons behind his chair were raised high, their sharp eyes gazing ahead.

A beam of black light shot out from the horizon outside the Lingxiao Palace at an extremely fast speed, so fast that most of the immortals and gods did not have time to react. Only after the black light passed over their heads did they turn around to look. The black light stopped above the Lingxiao Palace, turned into a ball of black mist, and was positioned in front of most of the immortals and gods, facing the Heavenly Emperor directly.

The immortals on both sides of the black mist were all supreme immortals, each with profound cultivation. They immediately cast spells to create a barrier, isolating the black mist.

The black energy surged like flames, hovering in mid-air, less than a hundred feet away from the Heavenly Emperor.

"What kind of demon dares to trespass into the Lingxiao Palace!"

An old immortal in black shouted in a stern voice, which was like thunder and echoed endlessly, causing many immortals and gods with lower cultivation levels to tremble.

Within the barrier, the black mist surged rapidly before dissipating, revealing the figure of a man draped in a wide black robe. His hair was disheveled, his face was dark, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were like snakes. The robe covered his hands and feet, while his black hair fluttered freely without any adornment. There were also strange black lines on his forehead, forming a terrifying pattern that made him seem like a vengeful demon from the darkness. Even in the brightly lit Lingxiao Palace, he was enough to make people shudder.

The moment he appeared, all the immortals and gods felt a chill, even their Dao Fruits were affected. The Heavenly Emperor looked at the man in black robes, his face calm.

The immortals and gods who were nearby all turned pale, because they could not see through this person's cultivation level, but only sensed danger.

Ignoring the other immortals and gods, the man in black stared at the Heavenly Emperor and sneered, "Young Heavenly Emperor, today is the first time you and I have met. Remember my name, I am the Ancestor of the Burial Heaven Emperor. I personally slaughtered all the immortals and gods until only you remained in the Heavenly Court."

Bury the Heavenly Emperor Ancestor!

When the immortals and gods heard this name, they felt it was arrogant. Burying the Heavens meant burying the Heavenly Dao.

Outrageous!

The gods and immortals were furious, but they dared not speak before the Heavenly Emperor had spoken.

The Heavenly Emperor was not angered by the Burial Heaven Emperor Ancestor. He asked, "What is your relationship with Cang Ming?"

"Cangming? They are not worthy to have anything to do with me. I have come here to tell you that there is no need to investigate the God-Slaying Ranking anymore."

After speaking, the Ancestor of Burial Heaven turned around and stepped forward in mid-air. With each step, dozens of Supreme Immortals around him were shaken and forced to retreat. They all looked at the Ancestor of Burial Heaven in disbelief.

Unconsciously, the Burial Heaven Emperor forcibly dispersed their magical power, making them feel that their magical power was extremely weak and they could not stop it at all.

Having been immortals for many years, this was the first time they had encountered such powerful magic. Even the Heavenly Dao Supreme had never put so much pressure on them.

After dispersing the immortals' magical power, the Burial Heaven Emperor continued forward, walking slowly and deliberately above the heads of the immortals and gods, intentionally humiliating them.

When the other immortals saw that those highly respected immortals had been forced back, they were all frightened and became on guard, ready to fight at any moment.

Li Ya looked at the Burial Heaven Emperor Ancestor, equally tense.

Who on earth is this person who dares to storm the Heavenly Court alone to declare war?

So crazy!
"Did I let you go?"

The Heavenly Emperor's cold voice rang out, which surprised and delighted the immortals and gods. They had just seen the Heavenly Emperor being threatened and felt humiliated. The Heavenly Emperor was the strongest force in the Heavenly Court. If even the Heavenly Emperor feared this being, wouldn't the Heavenly Court be doomed?

The Ancestor of Burial Heaven stopped in his tracks, turned to the side, and stared at the Heavenly Emperor with an extremely dangerous gaze, asking in a cold voice, "What? Do you intend to start a war with me now?"

His voice was cold, and his words were tinged with contempt.

The Heavenly Emperor did not rise. He looked at the Ancestor of the Burial Heaven and said, "The Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court has no concept of being young or old. The Heavenly Emperor is simply the Heavenly Emperor."

boom--

A thunderous sound, like a great bell, came from above the Lingxiao Palace. The intense light of the Heavenly Dao followed, startling all the immortals and gods who looked up. They saw that the sky above the palace was engulfed by the intense light of the Heavenly Dao, and an incomparably huge golden hand was descending, grabbing at the Burial Heaven Emperor Ancestor.

At this moment, regardless of their celestial rank, all the immortals and gods had their magical power suppressed and could only stare blankly as the giant golden hand descended.
