From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 358 Holy and Demonic Methods, Yin-Yang Invasion

Within the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court has no enemies.

Whether it's Buddhism, the demon race, the powerful beings hidden in the deep mountains and marshes, or even the Blood Sea in the depths of the Netherworld, none of them are enemies of the Heavenly Court. In essence, they are all under the rule of the Heavenly Court, at least nominally.

Unless it's a genuine rebellion, like when an ignorant monkey takes up the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven and storms the Lingxiao Palace, everyone assumes that the Heavenly Court is in charge.

However, the Heavenly Court has enemies on the outside.

There are two kinds of external enemies. One is a distant external force that originates from the depths of chaos and has little to do with the primordial world, such as the stars.

Another type consists of those who lost in the primordial battles and retreated into the outer realms of chaos.

These were all defeated in the struggles of the primordial era and infiltrated the chaotic void beyond the realm. Some opened up their own Great Luo Heaven in the chaotic void, while others occupied worlds beyond the realm...

After the Investiture of the Gods shattered the primordial world, although the Dao Ancestor intervened and preserved the most essential part to form the Three Realms as we know them today, and various saints and powerful beings also took action, either integrating the fragments of the primordial world into the Three Realms or into their own Great Luo Heaven, some still drifted into the chaos. These fragments were intercepted by the defeated dogs of the primordial world back then, greatly increasing their strength.

These are the true enemies of Heaven, and of course, these enemies are not something that the so-called 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals within Heaven can deal with.

The Heavenly Court's external wars are handled by the Central Heaven Ziwei Emperor. Yes, you read that right, the Central Heaven Ziwei Emperor, whose real name is Boyi Kao, the one who was roasted and eaten by his father. Now, he has a nickname: Li Shimin.

Do you think Ao Qian was so polite to Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) because he was the Heavenly Khan? Or was it because he also had a son named Li Chengqian?

No, it's because his full title is the Great Emperor of the Central Heaven Purple Star, and the Heavenly Court's Fighting Department is under his command, specializing in Heavenly Court's external wars. Heavenly Court's strongest fighting force is in his hands.

Whether it's the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, or the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, they are all his subordinates. In addition, there are two star lords of the two Big Dippers, one civil and one military, as well as powerful beings like Doumu Yuanjun.

The four star lords under the Water Department are actually subordinates of the Ziwei Emperor, but because their strength is too weak, the star lords look down on them and they are only temporarily employed by the Water Department.

Do you think he would dare to be impolite?

The Ziwei Emperor is very fierce. It is because of the existence of the Ziwei Emperor that the Three Realms are very peaceful, because no external chaotic force can get past the Ziwei Emperor.

The Holy Demon Clan is the strongest among these extraterrestrial forces, and a powerful extraterrestrial race that rose to prominence after the Investiture of the Gods. The Holy Demon Clan has diverse origins; they are essentially defeated beings from the primordial era who found a dilapidated world in the extraterrestrial realm to settle in. This world was corrupted by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, and those who enter it are tainted by demonic energy, mutating and evolving into demons. Furthermore, due to the inherent demonic nature of demons, they are constantly at war with one another.

After the Battle of Zhuolu, a portion of Chi You's divine soul fell into that broken world, and everything changed. From then on, these impoverished people had a backbone. Later, after the Investiture of the Gods, the primordial world was shattered, and Chi You and his subordinates seized two fragments of the primordial world, one of which was a fragment of Mount Buzhou. After merging with that broken world, his foundation greatly increased. He also took advantage of the Calamity of the Stars to fleece many outer gods. Chi You integrated the three systems of witchcraft, demons, and stars into one, becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal, calling himself the Holy Demon, and becoming the Lord of the Holy Demons. This world thus became the Holy Demon Realm.

Now, the Holy Demon Clan is the greatest enemy of the Three Realms.

Previously, the Holy Demon Clan was kept outside the Three Realms by the Ziwei Emperor, but now they have broken into the Three Realms through the Milky Way. Although their numbers are small, the significance of this is completely different.

That's why Ji Feihu was so nervous. "Let's go together, I have a big problem there too," Ao Qian said with a wry smile, pointing upstream. "There's a huge meteor there, and I don't know what its connection is with these Holy Demon Clan."

"A shooting star?!" Ji Feihu's gaze sharpened slightly.

As a seasoned general of the Heavenly River, he did not believe in any occasional occurrences, and coincidentally, Ao Qian did not believe in them either.

Without saying much, the two rode on auspicious clouds almost simultaneously, heading straight for the Lingxiao Palace.

※※※

In the underworld, at the Temple of the Eastern Peak Emperor, countless blazing sword lights converged into a massive sword array, covering an area of ​​a thousand miles. Within this area, surging demonic energy raged like a tidal wave.

Li Chengqian and Zhan Doudou stood at the core of the sword formation, their expressions serious.

Neither he nor Zhan Doudou expected that someone would forcibly open the passage between the underworld and the mortal world, pouring a large number of mortal demons and demonic energy into the underworld. And what's more, it happened near the Dongyue Emperor Temple, catching him off guard. If Zhan Doudou hadn't appeared in time, he probably would have been doomed.

Fortunately, the construction of the underworld in the Joy of Life world is now on the right track. A large number of special human souls that have been modified and evolved by nuclear radiation have been trained to form a powerful fighting force. In addition, both the eldest prince and Qin Yuan are great generals. Faced with this wave of attacks, they withstood the attack and began to counterattack.

The auras of thousands of Yin Messengers converged, forming the Blazing Sun Sword Formation, like a giant, blazing sun rising in the underworld, scorching the surrounding demonic energy with a sizzling sound. Li Chengqian could even see the nuclear fusion formula at the center of that blazing sun.

Yes, you read that right.

It is the nuclear fusion formula.

Of course, you can also view this formula as a special rune, or the core of the sword formation, controlling everything in the sword formation. Wherever the golden light passes, the demonic energy dissipates, revealing the densely packed, ferocious-looking Holy Demon Clan army below.

Streams of scorching sword energy rained down like meteors, striking the Holy Demon Clan's army. Countless Holy Demon warriors were instantly pierced by the sword energy, their bodies vaporizing in the intense heat, turning to ashes before they could even scream. But the Holy Demon Clan was overwhelmingly numerous, each member fearless and relentless, charging forward like a black tide, relentlessly surging through the sword formation.

Zhan Doudou raised an eyebrow and lightly waved her longsword. The sword formation began to rotate, and golden light condensed into blades of light that fell densely like rain.

Screams, roars, and the clash of weapons, mixed with the piercing shriek of scorching sword energy tearing through the air, echoed between heaven and earth. Blood rained down like a storm, staining the earth crimson.

"Lord Yin Sheng, this sword formation is extremely effective against us. We can't continue like this." These Holy Demons were all strangely shaped, but their leader was a handsome young man. The only difference between him and a human was that he had a short horn on each side of his forehead. His phoenix eyes were coldly fixed on the sword formation that surrounded them.

Finally, the gaze fell upon Li Chengqian and Zhan Doudou. "Who are you? As people of the mortal world, why are you interfering in the affairs of the underworld?" The voice was eerie and soft, yet it exuded an aura that could penetrate the very soul.

At that moment, Li Chengqian received a message from Ao Qian in the Three Realms. He looked at the leader with a strange expression and said, "Shouldn't your Holy Demon Clan's target be the Heavenly Court? What are you doing in this godforsaken place called the Underworld? If you want to cause trouble for the Underworld, you've come to the wrong place. Of course, if you want to pass through here to the Underworld, then I'm sorry, this is already our territory, and we will not accommodate you."
