Chapter 836 You...can't escape either!!!
With the collapse of the Southern Heavenly Gate's protective barrier and the deaths of all four Heavenly Kings, the fleet of souls replaced by drowned vengeful spirits was also destroyed.

Almost all the souls that were originally supposed to be guided back to the Tushita Palace by the lightning for rest were absorbed into the Demon Gauntlet.

Cheng Tian even had a vague premonition that his Demon Gauntlet might soon undergo a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

In stark contrast to the unstoppable advance of the Journey to the West Allied Forces, the Black Heavenly Court gods were in complete chaos.

To be fair, the Black Heavenly Court is not without the power to fight back. However, their long-standing oppression of the lower realms has instilled in them an arrogance that places them above all other forces, and their complacency stems from not encountering any significant resistance for so long.

If it were just about suppressing demons and humans in the mortal realm, then there would be nothing to say. It would be something that could be resolved with a flick of the finger. Sending out ghost soldiers would be considered lazy and opportunistic. But now, the enemy's low-end combat power is on par with or even stronger than theirs, and their high-end combat power is so formidable that each one could shatter the heavens.

What's even more terrifying is that for every second they hesitate here, those extraterrestrial demons will get closer to them.

With the intention of not letting the guilty go unpunished, the allied forces of Journey to the West and The Legend of the Monkey King, led by the two Great Sages, have launched a full-scale attack, sparing neither palace maids nor Taoist priests.

Perhaps these minor NPCs did not personally participate in the breeding, exploitation, and treatment of mortals, but they did indeed enjoy the spiritual essence leaking from between the fingers of the gods and immortals, becoming beneficiaries. Moreover, they were responsible for more tedious tasks such as casting Yin spirits and repairing heavenly soldiers.

Since they've enjoyed the benefits of the Heavenly Court's exploitation of mortals, they shouldn't blame themselves for being punished.

The journey was swift and unstoppable. After killing the Four Heavenly Kings, they encountered no significant resistance. The Tianpeng warship moved unimpeded, single-mindedly charging towards the Lingxiao Palace.

However, compared to most people who are in a state of high excitement, Cheng Tian is relatively calm and can still view the current situation from a relatively objective perspective.

The reason why the Black Heavenly Court is showing such a downward trend is not because of the Heavenly Court cuisine, but simply because their barrier-breaking arrows are too overpowered.

Back then, just one Great Sage was enough to give the Heavenly Court a major headache. Now, with a pentagonal combination of two Great Sages, two Erlang Shen, and one Nezha, plus the heavenly soldiers providing support, there is no reason for them to back down even in a head-on battle.

The one that should be running away is the Black Heavenly Court.

But the Black Heavenly Court is still a Heavenly Court after all. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad it is, it still has a foundation. In addition, the worldview of Black Myth is actually a collection of evil cultivators. Those gods who are willing to go along with the evil will always have some combat methods that are beyond conventional understanding.

Sure enough, two minor obstacles appeared on the only way to the Lingxiao Palace.

On the left is a gigantic humanoid puppet pieced together from countless bolts of lightning-struck wood. Its body bears scorching marks that cycle between bright and dim light, like a breathing lamp. Dazzling lightning constantly dances across its surface. In its left and right hands, it holds a hammer and a chisel, respectively.

The Thunder Gods roared, their bodies shattering the heavens.

On the right is a clay figure that appears to be made from burning ashes, but it has no head. Instead, a spherical object resembling a miniature sun radiates intense heat and light around its heart, and even from a distance, one can smell the acrid odor of burning.

The fire element was engulfed in flames.

As symbols of the Thunder and Fire Departments of the Black Heavenly Court, they naturally belong to the Black Heavenly Court's combat reserve force.

But what happened next surprised Cheng Tian and his group. The huge lightning-struck wooden golem raised its hammer and struck the bottom of the chisel handle, instantly unleashing a dazzling burst of lightning that caught the eyes of many.

But when the lightning dissipated and everyone's vision returned to normal, they discovered that the Thunder Gods, led by Hōtenkai, had all vanished without a trace!

Not to mention these extraterrestrial demons, even the fire gods who should have fought side by side were stunned on the spot.

"So that's how it is. These Thunder Department soldiers are in charge of teleportation. They've run away."

But at that very moment, a lightbulb went off on Cheng's head at the bow of the ship, and he realized what had happened.

Simply put, the Thunder Gods under the Black Heavenly Court of this world, in addition to their regular duties, are mainly responsible for using lightning to teleport and retrieve those Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals whose magical power is insufficient and who are therefore unable to freely ascend and descend to the mortal realm.

The ghostly soldiers and generals that appear in the lower realm accompanied by a bolt of lightning in the game are sent down by the gods of thunder.

If they can teleport ghost soldiers and generals, they can naturally teleport themselves as well. Faced with a special situation where victory is almost impossible and they can only use their lives to delay time, their choice can be described as straightforward and following their hearts.

They descended to the mortal realm.

If I can't afford to fight, can't I at least avoid it?

This actually reflects, to some extent, the alienation of the gods' cognition within the context of Black Myth's reliance on spiritual energy for immortality.

That is, in a context where all the gods are extracting spiritual energy in pursuit of immortality, it is extremely difficult to get other gods to give up their lives in order to prolong one's own.

It can be said that divine generals like the Four Heavenly Kings who sacrificed themselves for their duties are extremely rare in the Black Heavenly Court... Of course, it can also be explained that they didn't even have time to beg for mercy before the two Great Sages' hydraulic presses crushed them, rather than that they were truly willing to sacrifice themselves.

Therefore, Raibu's choice to flee at this time was quite precise.

Even if the Heavenly Court were to be overthrown and all the gods were to be wiped out, there should at least be a priority order for handling such matters. The priority of these Thunder Gods is obviously far lower than that of the higher-ups who can stay in the Lingxiao Palace.

It must be said that the leader of the Thunder Department is indeed quite quick-witted. He has a thorough understanding of the psychological activities of the extraterrestrial demons. With the Lingxiao Palace within reach, the Great Sage and the others certainly wouldn't waste their precious time dealing with them... but that doesn't mean the others wouldn't.

Due to the "original flavor" exclusive attribute restrictions of the game's dungeons, the currently available world maps are only Black Wind Mountain, Yellow Wind Ridge, Little Western Paradise, Spider Silk Ridge, Flame Mountain, Flower Fruit Mountain, as well as "Black Heavenly Court" which was officially opened after the attack on the Southern Heavenly Gate, and "Black Spirit Mountain" which has not yet been officially opened. These are the eight basic maps.

Although there are various special scenes inside, it can be basically confirmed that the only places where Lei Bu can escape are the six regular maps. At this moment, the six maps are already filled with players and NPCs belonging to the Lieyang Legion!

Cheng Tian, ​​in his capacity as legion leader, decisively issued the legion mission of "slaying the Lei tribe".

If I say I'll slaughter your Heavenly Court, then I will slaughter your Heavenly Court, and not a single one of you will escape!
