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

Chapter 871 The Last Chance

Bathed in the golden light of the Heavenly Dao, the shadow of the Heavenly Spirit God was stretched extremely long, and the shadow of the boundary gate beside him resembled an ancient and enormous demon.

He looked up at the source of the golden light and saw a golden mountain descending at an extremely fast speed. He frowned, suppressing his fear, and stood still to wait.

boom!
A golden mountain descended with an unstoppable divine aura, landing beside the boundary gate. The majestic boundary gate no longer appeared enormous in the face of this golden mountain.

This was the first time the Heavenly Spirit God had ever seen such a mountain of gold. If he hadn't been able to sense the immense fortune of the Heavenly Court, he would have turned and fled long ago.

He subconsciously looked towards the mountaintop, wanting to see if there were any immortals or gods there, but then another golden mountain appeared!
Behind that mountain of gold, there is another mountain of gold!
One after another, golden mountains descended with an aura that could suppress all things in heaven and earth. One mountain pressed down on another, creating a magnificent spectacle that could be heard by all living beings in the universe. This was a sound that penetrated the soul, and all who heard it felt awe.

Inside the Wushi Dao Temple.

Zui, who was cultivating the Immortal Emperor's Eye in the bamboo forest, looked up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Not only him, but all the disciples in the dojo were alarmed. Many disciples even flew out of their respective caves to see what was going on.

Before the gate, the Heavenly Spirit God's robes fluttered, and his golden armor shone brightly. He stared in astonishment as golden mountains descended and overlapped one after another. With each additional golden mountain, the Heavenly Court's fortune he sensed grew stronger.

Later, he suddenly knelt down on both knees.

This is the suppression of immortals and gods by the power of Heaven!

When the deafening roar subsided, the magnificent Ascension Staircase appeared in the universe, making the dimensional gate seem so insignificant.

One after another, figures appeared out of thin air beside the Heavenly Spirit God; they were none other than the Immortal Lord Taiyi and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jindong.

They had seen the Heavenly Ascension Staircase before, so they weren't as shocked as the Heavenly Spirit God. They solemnly looked up at the top of the Heavenly Ascension Staircase and saw one after another Heavenly God stepping out from the bright light, each with a majestic figure, descending the Heavenly Ascension Staircase.

As they walked, these gods opened their right hands, and countless heavenly soldiers flew out like swarms of bees, spreading rapidly.

"Could it be the legendary Stairway to Heaven?"

The Heavenly Spirit God couldn't help but ask, his voice filled with fear.

He had an extraordinary background and had even visited the celestial palace, but his celestial rank was too low, and he had only heard of the legendary Heavenly Ascension Steps.

What troubled him most was that the size of the Heavenly Army this time far exceeded his expectations.

One powerful aura after another is descending, enveloping all parts of the universe, demonstrating the power of the Heavenly Court to all living beings.

"We're in big trouble..."

Taiyi Immortal Lord looked up at the immortal figures above the Heavenly Ascension Steps and murmured softly.

The faces of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jintong were equally grim. They were even more uneasy than Taiyi Immortal Lord and Tianling God, because they had the Jintong Immortal Sect behind them. If they lost this battle, it would likely implicate their sect.

An overwhelming pressure, far surpassing that of any other immortal or god, descended, plunging all the great worlds in the universe into silence. All living beings felt as if they had been struck in the chest, and any words stuck in their throats.

The wind has stopped, the sea is still, and the oppression is extreme!

Tianlingshen and the others saw a foot emerge from the bright light. The immortals and gods below looked like pebbles in front of this foot. As the owner of this foot continued to step down, his true form gradually became revealed.

It is none other than Marshal Zhitian!

His boots emerged from the vast spiritual mist, and the silver armor on his body appeared as a phantom, as if an ancient divine beast was baring its fangs and claws. His face under his helmet was obscured by the light of the heavenly Dao and was not revealed. On the top of the helmet, a dragon was circling and seemed to be roaring at its most desperate.

Two large flags stood behind Marshal Zhitian, and the drums beat loudly, sounding like thunder and lightning, or like the angry voice of the emperor.

Immortal Lord Taiyi immediately knelt down on one knee, raised his hand to salute Marshal Zhitian, and lowered his head, not daring to meet Marshal Zhitian's gaze.

The same applies to the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jindong.

Marshal Zhitian's footsteps were very heavy, drowning out all the noise. He walked at a leisurely pace, which continuously increased the sense of pressure on Tianlingshen and the others.

One after another, heavenly soldiers and generals descended from the sky like a torrential downpour, landing before the boundary gate and surrounding Tianling Shen and the others. At the same time, great cultivators from the Tianling Great World flew in like a flood. They looked at the Ascension Steps from afar, all of them were shocked and speechless.

"what is that?"

"A deity has arrived! What kind of treasure is this?"

"What terrifying pressure! Where did that golden staircase come from? Could it have extended here from the Heavenly Realm?"

"Is this the aura of the celestial beings in heaven...? It's over..."

"What should we do? Do we really have to fight against such an existence?"

Before even engaging in battle with the celestial gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court, cultivators from all sects in the Heavenly Spirit Great World suffered heavy blows and their morale was damaged.

The demon race also arrived, and they were equally frightened by the Ascension Staircase.

All forces slowed their advance, not daring to act recklessly.

The leaders of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance also arrived, as did Ji Xiaoyu and the former Demon Emperor. They gazed at the Ascension Staircase with eyes full of apprehension.

The moment Ji Xiaoyu saw the Ascension Steps, she knew that this battle was far beyond their capabilities. If Gu An hadn't intervened, the Heavenly Spirit Great World would have perished today.

The Heavenly Spirit Great World is much stronger than before, but it is still far inferior to the Nine Extremes Great World, and it is impossible for it to fight as fiercely as the Nine Extremes Great World.

Countless gazes converged below the Heavenly Ascension Steps. Unable to sense it, the Heavenly Spirit God, Taiyi Immortal Lord, and others, surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals, were filled with unease and fear.

Even though they had prepared themselves mentally beforehand, they were still instinctively afraid when Marshal Zhitian appeared.

Even the Immortal Lord Taiyi was worried at this moment, fearing that he had made the wrong bet.

He even found himself ridiculous. How could the Primordial Ancestor possibly withstand the Heavenly Will of the Heavenly Court?
But such a thought was fleeting.

He has nowhere to retreat. Even if he bows his head now, what awaits him is utter ruin.

"Immortal Lord Taiyi, descendants of the Golden Cave Immortal Sect, why are you here? Have you already betrayed the Heavenly Court?"

Marshal Zhitian's voice rang out, utterly cold and indifferent.

Immortal Lord Taiyi quickly looked up and said, "Marshal, you misunderstand. We are only staying in this realm temporarily to promote the Heavenly Dao."

The seventy-two immortals of Jindong lowered their heads, not daring to face the Supreme Marshal.

They had seen the Supreme Marshal before in the Heavenly Court, but his aura was not as unrestrained as it was today. Faced with the Supreme Marshal's bursting aura, they felt their immortal positions were shattered and their fortunes could dissipate at any moment, which filled them with fear and trepidation.

"Promote the Heavenly Way? Don't you know that the Heavenly Court is currently cracking down on chaotic demons?"

Marshal Zhitian's angry roar made the seventy-two immortals of Jintong tremble. Tianlingshen was also terrified, but since Marshal Zhitian wasn't targeting him, his feelings weren't as profound as those of the seventy-two immortals of Jintong.

Taiyi Immortal Lord opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but he couldn't utter a word.

"I will give you one last chance. Once I step down, as long as you do not rise, I will consider you to be truly upholding the Way of Heaven!"

Marshal Zhitian continued speaking, and then added, "As for the one who protects this world, I will also give you a chance. As long as you obediently hide in the shadows or get out, I will not investigate your origins!"

These words were different from before; the voice was incredibly loud, so that all living beings in the myriad realms could hear them, and even the souls of all beings in the mortal world trembled at them.

The Wushi Dao Temple, inside the courtyard.

Shen Zhen and Shangguan Xian'er turned to look at Gu An, who was lying under a tree reading a book. Faced with such terrifying divine power, they were curious about his choice.
