Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 205 The Great Battle of the Foundation Establishment, The Heavenly River Smashes the Sky! At this moment—He has arrived!

This happened so suddenly!
It suddenly became even sinister.

It seems to have been done intentionally!

"boom--!!"

The spear's edge, carrying a devastating force, crashed down.

"Humph."

The Plague God gave a cold snort and simply raised his finger to point to the sky.

—Awooo!!!

The five plague demons let out a deafening howl, and their giant fists swung out fiercely. The raging miasma, like a poisonous dragon emerging from the sea, crashed straight into the spear light, even corroding black holes in the void!

At this moment, the Supreme Plague Path instantly spread out, tightly enveloping the heaven-splitting spear beam and frantically eroding it.

In the blink of an eye, the Eight Desolate Karmic Fire, which even Great Luo Golden Immortals feared, was completely defeated and devoured by the even more domineering Plague Path.

Where the karmic fire dissipated, the Hun Tian Ling moved without wind, fluttering and rustling.

Nezha's eyes showed no surprise whatsoever, but instead blazed with fighting spirit: "As expected of the Plague God! The last time I fought you was ten thousand years ago. Today, your divine might is as strong as ever!"

"You're too kind, Third Prince. Your supernatural abilities have exceeded my expectations. It seems that the lineage of achieving sainthood through physical body is indeed worthy of being the number one lineage in the primordial world."

Above the miasma sea, the Plague God slowly rose once more.

With just this one movement, the oppressive aura spread out.

This caused the Kitchen God and the God of Wealth to suddenly feel a chill.

Even Nezha, Jinzha, Muzha, and even the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and other celestial beings from the Ministry of War felt an immense pressure coming towards them.

As one of the Heavenly Court's top combat forces, any one of the eight righteous gods, a Star Lord, is a powerful being that makes all the immortals tremble with fear.

If a star lord were to completely break free from his shackles, it would be equivalent to the Three Realms gaining another lawless and unparalleled demon.

The Plague Emperor was born with such an aura.

"However, since the Third Prince has already made his move, I would like to see today just how far your cultivation of physical sainthood has reached!"

The Plague Emperor's lips curled into a faint smile.

--bass!

A divine blue light soared into the sky behind him, and the innate killing treasure—the Twin Swords of Plague—reappeared in the world!

"Plague God, you mustn't!!" The expressions of the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God changed drastically.

"It's alright, I'm just discussing the Dao with the Third Prince."

With a casual gesture, the Plague God sent his two swords into his palm, which transformed into light.

…………

"Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At this moment, the immortals watching from afar turned pale and dared not linger for even a moment.

They frantically unleashed their divine power, transforming into streaks of light that scattered and fled.

It's fighting!

This time, it's a real, all-out war!
A showdown between a Star Lord and a Quasi-Star Lord is so intense that a slight misstep could have far-reaching consequences.

This heavenly court is probably going to collapse!
The supreme heavenly might of the Great Celestial Venerable, the imperial wrath of the Northern Exorcism Institute that oversees all the gods... will follow one after another!

If you don't run now, whoever stays behind will be in trouble!

……

The expressions of the generals in the Ministry of War also changed drastically.

"Plague God—!" The God of Wealth tried to stop him again, but it was too late.

Compared to Nezha's spear that split the sky and cleaved the sea, the Plague God's sword strike was so simple it was almost casual, as if it were just a casual slash.

—"Crunch!!!"

The overwhelming miasma suddenly condensed, instantly enveloping Nezha and the Plague God, transforming them into a green coffin stretching across the sky.

The auras of the two powerful beings vanished completely from the Three Realms in an instant!

……

"This is... a Dao Foundation Divine Power!"

The immortals, who were fleeing frantically, suddenly stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with shock.

No one expected that the Plague King would not go on a killing spree, but instead used his Dao Foundation Divine Power to open up a battle domain and fight against Nezha's Trapped Domain!
"You scared me to death!"

The immortals all breathed a sigh of relief, but still dared not approach, retreating to a distance of a thousand miles.

They only dared to peer from afar with their divine eyes.

In an instant, a thousand eyes opened, their divine light shining brightly, creating a strange and wondrous sight.

……

In the blink of an eye, the green coffin vanished, and the world returned to its bright and clear state.

The immortals looked closely and saw that on the crimson lotus platform, Nezha, who had been sitting cross-legged, had stood up with his spear in hand, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.
Although the Plague God's aura was equally turbulent, it was still significantly stronger than Nezha's.

The immortals felt a chill run down their spines.

In just a brief exchange of blows, an unimaginable and terrifying battle erupted within the green coffin.

—The power of the Star Lord is indeed terrifying!
"As expected of the Third Prince, the younger generation is truly formidable." The Plague God nodded.

"You flatter me, Plague Lord!" Nezha also put away his previous arrogance, holding his Fire-Tipped Spear and returning the greeting with clasped hands.

"so far so good……"

The God of Wealth and the Kitchen God exchanged a glance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a normal battle of wits; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, after this battle, the immortals were even more awe-inspiring of Nezha's strength.

The Plague God has been famous for thousands of years and possesses unparalleled combat power, while Nezha's years of cultivation are far less than his. Yet, even when the Plague God uses the Twin Swords of Plague, Nezha can hold his own and not be at a significant disadvantage.

……

"Hiss! This method of achieving sainthood through physical body is indeed worthy of being the number one lineage of the innate world."

"Yes!"

"As far as I know, the method by which Nezha, the Third Prince, achieves sainthood is not the most advanced. Above him, there are two even more terrifying methods for achieving sainthood through physical strength."

"You mean the 'Great Celestial Immortal Technique' and the 'Eight-Nine Arcane Arts'?"

"Not bad!"

Amidst the murmurs of the immortals, they all gasped in astonishment.

After all, the two cultivators who practiced these two top-level divine abilities were top-level experts known to everyone throughout the Three Realms!
……

Unexpectedly, just as the battle between the Plague God and Nezha ended, a majestic divine voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth once again: "Since the Plague God has already made his move, it is not appropriate for me to merely stand by and watch."

Inside the golden carriage, the voice of the Water Deity Star Lord carried a hint of amusement.

—"Gulp, gulp!"

An inexplicable sound of water suddenly entered the ears of the immortals.

"what sound?"

They looked up and were instantly terrified!
Above this world, a "Ren River" stretching for thousands of miles suddenly appeared, enveloping all the immortals.

The waters of the Milky Way surged and roared, even the remaining Eight Desolate Karmic Fires suddenly lost their momentum, as if they dared not contend with them!
…………

"Run!!!!!"

"We really have to run this time!!!!"

"The Water God is truly enraged! He—He intends to flood the Heavenly Court!"

Countless divine lights rose up once more, and the immortals once again went on a frenzied rush.

I originally thought that the Water Deity Star Lord was much more stable than the Plague Lord.

Who would have thought that He would be the most ruthless!
—Just smash Tianhe directly!

On this day, the Heavenly Court, which had enjoyed peace for millennia, finally experienced the terrifying power of the Star Lord once again!
……

"Which young master would like to discuss matters of the Dao with me?"

The Water Deity's voice is clear and cold.

“Crash!!!!”

The entire Renshui Heavenly River churned and surged, with hundreds of divine beasts, including giant Kun, water dragons, and angry tigers, transformed from the Renshui, roaring and surging within its waters, their might shaking the very void. "Father, I request to fight!" Jinzha stepped forward.

"Wait!"

But then a golden rainbow flew out from the depths of the Cloud Tower Palace.

At the same time, the demonic image also vanished without a trace, transforming into a chilling warrior.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King could not restrain himself any longer. Holding the Seven-Jeweled Exquisite Pagoda, he personally went to the front of the battle.

"Father!"

"marshal!"

Jinzha, Muzha, and the other immortals from the Ministry of War all clasped their hands in a salute.

Only Nezha remained defiant, not even bothering to look directly at his so-called "father."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King didn't care. He stepped forward through the void, his gaze sweeping over the assembled immortals: "Plague God, Water God, God of Wealth, Kitchen God, and twenty-eight fellow Daoists. Things have come to this, and I, the General, am unwilling to waste any more words. If you insist on saving people, I absolutely cannot let them go. Since there is now no room for negotiation..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in his hand suddenly shone with divine light.

—Clang!

A melodious bell rang throughout the heavens and earth, and with just that one sound, the rushing waters of the Milky Way were frozen in time.

……

Inside the Linglong Tower, the secrets of heaven were revealed once again.

Lan'er's dragon body suddenly froze, her expression turning solemn.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen asked.

"Something's happened outside!" As the guardian of the Linglong Tower, Lan'er could clearly see the outside world once the tower's energy was released. Looking at the tense situation on the screen, she swallowed hard. "You brat, you're truly the center of attention! So many powerful figures have gone to such lengths for a mere mortal like you!"

"You can see it? Let me see it too!" Lu Chen said urgently.

“Okay, no problem.” Lan’er’s mind raced and the image appeared clearly.

"So this is the Heavenly Court... Strange, why are there no clouds?" Lu Chen was full of doubts.

In his imagination, the Heavenly Court should have been a sacred place with rolling clouds and swirling immortal energy, but what he saw before him was a barren wasteland, without even a wisp of cloud.

Little did he know that the clouds covering tens of thousands of miles had already been completely dispersed in several battles between powerful beings.

"Wait, that's..."

Lu Chen's gaze suddenly fixed on the direction of the miasma sea:

"The Plague God, my sworn brother, and the Kitchen God! Why is He here too? That's right, it's the fire in the hearth! It must be! And... the Water God?! That's... one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions?!"

--hiss!

He gasped in shock: "How could so many powerful beings have come?!"

“Yes, you have no connection with the Twenty-Eight Constellations or the Water Deity Star Lord… Why would they come to help you?” Lan’er was also full of confusion.

“It must have been my sworn brother who invited them.” Lu Chen’s eyes welled up with tears.

To save him, his master, sworn brother, and the Kitchen God went to such lengths.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise, "What the hell—where's the Underworld?!"

……

At the same time, the cold voice of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King echoed again from outside the tower:

"Since this battle is inevitable, let's have a good, decisive one!"

A chilling aura emanated from his eyes, instantly freezing the surrounding hundred miles of void into ice:

"But think it through, everyone. If it really comes to a fight, my Li family is equivalent to having four Star Lords in charge. You only have the Plague Lord and the Water Virtue Star Lord. As for the Twenty-Eight Constellation Fellow Daoists—do you really want to wade into this mess? If you retreat now, I will let bygones be bygones."

Upon hearing this, the Twenty-Eight Constellations exchanged glances.

Kui Mulang stepped forward first, clasped his hands and said loudly, "King Li, we have come to assist Lord Juncai on his behalf, with the intention of mediating the conflict."

But the Heavenly King insisted on not leaving. If we were to leave now, we would be seen as treacherous and deserters in the face of battle!
"The Heavenly King is really underestimating my twenty-eight brothers!"

“Excellent!” The other star officials echoed, their expressions resolute.

"Hmph!" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King snorted coldly, his tone suddenly sharp:

"Very well! Since you all insist on this, I will accompany you to the end! However, although the combined power of the twenty-eight of you has the might of a Star Lord, my second son, Muzha, is the Dharma King of the Sect, whose supernatural powers are best at restraining the laws of the stars."

If He accepts the challenge, I fear none of you will be able to match Him!

"Oh? Then I shall experience the power of the Second Prince Buddha." The Pleiades Star Lord stood tall and fearless.

Muzha stepped forward, his face radiating Buddhist light: "Amitabha, I will now meet with you fellow Daoists."

……

"What? All three princes of the Li family have come?!"

Inside the Linglong Pagoda, Lu Chen's pupils constricted upon hearing this, and he hurriedly asked, "Where's Nezha? Where is Nezha? Let me see!"

Lan'er waved to adjust the screen.

The next moment, the infamous "traitor" from Heaven appeared on the screen, his eyebrows and eyes filled with arrogance and his whole body exuding a fierce aura.

"Wow! That gaze, that aura... no wonder he's the greatest father-stabbing master of all time!"

……

Li Jing's loud laughter rang out again: "Even so, you only have three Star Lords guarding the place. How can you possibly contend with my father and me? Why don't you just give up and leave? I guarantee I won't harm that young friend's life. You should know that the longer you linger, the more time you waste—that young friend's time!"

Above the miasma sea, the Plague God and the Water God exchanged a glance.

The Plague God sighed softly: "Brother Juncai, Kitchen God, there's no need to persuade us any further. It seems this battle is unavoidable."

Water Deity scoffed: "King Li's words just now were too disrespectful to my Water Department. Brother Juncai, I was returning a favor to you before, but now... I must also fight for the Water Department's honor."

The Plague Lord lightly brandished his two Plague Swords: "Brother Water Virtue, leave Li Tianwang to me, Muzha will be dealt with by the Twenty-Eight Star Officials, and the other two princes are yours."

"No, Plague Lord." Water Deity Star Lord shook his head: "I have long wanted to test my skills with Heavenly King Li and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, so please leave them to me. As for the two princes, I will trouble Plague Lord to take care of them."

"That's not entirely impossible." The Plague King looked at Li Jing, a rare sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "King Li, if you accidentally injure your young master later, don't blame me for being too harsh!"

--bass!

Several magical treasures, including the Plague-Suppressing Bell, reappeared.

The Water Virtue Star Lord, Ren Shui Yuan Chen, wore a robe radiating divine light, and an indigo divine pearl rose from the top of his head, reflecting the Milky Way.

The divine light of the Twenty-Eight Constellations also surged like a sea of ​​stars.

Upon seeing this, the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God both sighed.

Now that things have come to this, even knowing the gravity of the battle, they could no longer dissuade them.

We can only take one step at a time.

"Hmph! Since you're so stubborn—" Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, said in a voice as cold as iron, "then don't blame me for...using my numbers to bully the few!"

Now that things have come to this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King knows that only by going all out can he resolve this matter.

Let's see when the Great Celestial Venerable sends immortals to stop it...

And just as the words "bullying the few with the many" were uttered—

—"Slap, slap, slap."

Three claps, clear and resonant, echoed in the hearts of every immortal and deity.

"Good, good, good, what a perfect example of 'bullying the few'."

"Who?!"

The immortals looked in the direction of the sound and saw that three figures had appeared above the head of the giant spirit god.

The person in the center was dressed in fashionable clothes from the mortal world, and his handsome face was enough to make people lose their senses;
Beside him stood two figures, one tall and one muscular, both cold and icy, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

At this moment, the handsome man smiled warmly, looked down at the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and spoke softly:
"But what if I, the Emperor, am included?"

--boom! ! !

The Nine Netherworld Divine Path surged and exploded from beneath its feet, instantly swallowing up the golden light of the Jade Pool and covering the clouds and mist of the Immortal Palace.

In an instant, the giant spirit god was transformed into a nine-headed, eight-armed ghost general who guarded the underworld!

He spews hellfire!
The ghost's eyes were like pools of blood!
At this moment, even the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King could never have imagined that this great god would be coming!
His eyes widened, his throat bobbed, and he squeezed out four words with almost disbelief:

"Feng..."

"The Emperor of Fengdu?!"
