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

Chapter 231 Joint Trial by Eight Departments! Lu Chen: This is too much of a show of force!

Inside the South Heavenly Gate.

The drama of a man chasing a tower and a son stabbing his father continues to unfold.

Seeing that the Great God of the Three Altars Sea Gathering was in a bloodthirsty frenzy, the onlookers dared not step forward to help.
In just a short while, countless immortal caves and mountain gates had already suffered collateral damage.

If you rush forward at this moment, you'll likely get shot and suffer the same fate as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Inside the Linglong Tower.

"Aren't we there yet?!"

Seeing that he couldn't shake off the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King behind him, Lu Chen was extremely anxious.

"We've arrived! Look—that's the South Heavenly Gate!"

In the Xuan Guang Mirror, the outline of a majestic palace gate gradually became clear.

"Okay! What happens when we get there?"

"Once you exit the South Heavenly Gate, simply plummet downwards. There, a celestial path forms, leading directly to the human world."

"understand!"

Lu Chen urged his thoughts on the matter, and as if the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda could sense his presence, it increased its speed even further.

"You little thief! Where do you think you're going?!"

Just then, a deafening shout suddenly rang out from ahead.

Lu Chen's pupils suddenly contracted!

At the South Heavenly Gate, several Dharma images rose from the ground, forcefully blocking the way.

These were the Four Heavenly Kings and the Giant Spirit God.

"Oh no! They've laid an ambush here!"

Lan'er was shocked and never expected that such a calamity would occur just as she was about to succeed.

"Forget everything else, let's rush over there first!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and charged forward.

--bell!

But then, a clear and melodious zither sound suddenly rang out.

The Eastern Heavenly King, Dhritarashtra, plucked the pipa with his fingertips, and thousands of musical notes transformed into a trapping array. As soon as the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda entered the array, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, its speed plummeting and almost coming to a standstill.

Upon seeing this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King behind him was overjoyed: "Well done!!!"

Having said that, he reached out and grabbed at the pagoda.

"You old pig and dog, don't even think about succeeding!!!"

A loud shout rang out from behind the tower, followed by a spear beam that shot out like a dragon, shattering the musical array into pieces.

"roll!!!"

Another streak of white light flashed across the tower, heading straight for the Four Heavenly Kings and the Giant Spirit God beneath the South Heavenly Gate.

The Four Heavenly Kings and the Giant Spirit God's expressions changed drastically. How could they dare to withstand the killing move of this god of death? Their Dharma forms instantly dissipated, turning into rainbow light and scattering as they fled.

The white light finally landed on the pillar of the South Heavenly Gate.

——Boom!

Sparks flew and stones flew everywhere!
This Heavenly Gate, which had stood in the Heavenly Court for countless millennia, had a corner of it destroyed on the spot.

The gilded plaque inscribed with the three characters "Nantianmen" crashed to the ground, causing the clouds to churn.

"Nezha is so cool!"

Lu Chen was both surprised and delighted. He dared not delay for even a moment and urged the pagoda to break through with all its might: "Now!"

Like an arrow released from a bow, the Linglong Pagoda's speed increased again, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed out of the South Heavenly Gate and plummeted into the sea of ​​clouds below!
"Oops!!!"

The Heavenly King Li Jing's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only watch helplessly.

Nezha behind him laughed maniacally: "You old pig dog! Even if I fail to take your dog's life today, I, the King, will surely take your head one day!!!"

Inside the tower.

The clouds rushed upwards at great speed.

Lu Chen and Lan'er exchanged a glance, almost bursting into tears of joy.

"We did it! We really escaped!!!"

"I'm fucking awesome! I managed to escape!!!"

Imagine an ordinary mortal who was captured by a powerful star lord and taken back to the Heavenly Court, and who eventually managed to break through the Southern Heavenly Gate with the pagoda.

Even Lu Chen himself dared not recall the near-death experiences he had gone through along the way.

If this story were made into a movie, it would easily gross at least 10 billion!
Just as the tower disappeared into the clouds and was about to vanish without a trace.

--call!

But another unexpected change occurred!
Suddenly, a massive, all-encompassing hand emerged from the sea of ​​clouds below, steadily supporting the pagoda and gently pulling it back.

At the same time, a warm and gentle laugh drifted into the tower:
"Young friend, why the rush?"

"That voice..." Lan'er's dragon scales exploded: "Venus?!"

- Om!

Lu Chen was also covered in cold sweat.

Why did they have to come at this time of year of all times?

Lu Chen tried to activate the pagoda again, but it didn't move at all. Instead, it accelerated backward and finally landed in a fair, white hand.

The mirror reflected a face with white hair, a youthful appearance, and kind eyes.

But when Lu Chen and Lan'er saw it, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their whole bodies chilled.

"Old Star Lord! Save...save me!" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, his clothes charred black, staggered forward, cupped his hands, and cried out.

Venus sighed softly, and a jade tablet-shaped magic weapon flew out of his hand, shooting swiftly towards Nezha.

The jade tablet emitted a beam of silvery-white divine light, which descended like a net covering the sky!

"Oh no!!!" Nezha was shocked and tried to get away, but he was already firmly enveloped by the divine light.

In an instant, the three-headed, six-armed Dharma form vanished into thin air, all the murderous aura dissipated, and its form returned to normal, standing stiffly, unable to move.

"Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, please take a rest."

In the blink of an eye, he easily subdued this god of death.

--hiss!

Lu Chen gasped.

"This Venus is way too supermodel-like..."

"Supermodel? What does that mean?"

"It's ridiculously strong!"

"Nonsense! Although He is the head of the civil officials in Heaven, He wields the power of killing. The old man is the real God of Slaughter in Heaven."

"I know." Lu Chen smiled bitterly: "It's all over, Lan'er. In the end, all our efforts have been in vain."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We can only take it one step at a time."

With Venus subdued, Lan'er's last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

"Thank you for your help, Elder Star Lord!" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Venus suddenly darkened his face and coldly snorted, "Heavenly King, why has your father and son caused such a terrible disaster when I have only delayed for a moment? Look at the South Heavenly Gate, which has been reduced to a sea of ​​fire and ruins!"

"This..." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King glanced back at the devastated Southern Heavenly Gate, speechless for a moment. He had intended to question Venus about his late arrival, but the other had unexpectedly beaten him to it.

"Enough, enough, we'll discuss this later. Please return the pagoda to me, Elder Star Lord."

As he spoke, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, Venus lightly flicked his whisk, brushing his hand away: "No rush."

Having said that, His gaze fell upon the pagoda, and He said with a smile, "Young friend, why don't you come out for a chat? Don't worry, I will bestow upon you protective immortal energy, ensuring you can move freely in the Heavenly Court."

A wisp of ethereal mist drifted into the exquisite tower and settled around Lu Chen.

"Sigh, let's go out. Facing the old star official, neither of us has the slightest chance of winning."

Lan'er sighed softly and took the lead in inhaling that wisp of immortal energy, and her body was immediately surrounded by auspicious light.

Seeing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to inhale the immortal energy.

He felt a serene power envelop him, making him feel light and airy. With a light touch of his toes, he involuntarily flew out of the tower.

"Wait! Once I leave, I might not be able to come back in. Let me take care of something first."

"what's up?"

As Lan'er watched him walk to the "corpse" of the Black Demon Lord, she had a thought, and the Plague Emperor Banner flew out automatically.

"Let's see if we can capture this demon and refine it into the banner!"

With a wave of the Plague Emperor Banner, a vast expanse of green miasma was unleashed, instantly enveloping the Black Demon Lord's body layer by layer.

"You dare, kid?!"

Suddenly, a furious roar erupted from within the body of the Black Demon Lord.

"Hmph, now that things have come to this, what is there that we wouldn't dare to do!"

The Plague Emperor Banner had always lacked a top-tier Plague Demon to guard it. It had previously intended to capture the Ghost King in the Guangmu Heavenly King's formation, but ultimately failed.

The Black Fiend Demon Lord's current strength is comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings, making him an excellent material for refining.

If we can subdue them, they will be a great help when they return to the human world in the future.

Wow!

The green miasma, carrying the body of the Black Demon Lord, instantly disappeared into the Plague Emperor Banner.

In an instant, Lu Chen had a sudden realization, and felt as if the Plague Emperor Banner had just eaten its fill and let out a "burp".

It began to refine itself.

However, this Black Fiend Demon Lord possesses profound cultivation, comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings, so the speed of refining it will definitely not be too fast.

Even so, the benefits have been immediately apparent.

Lu Chen clearly sensed that the aura of the hundreds of plague demons inside the banner suddenly surged, actually returning from the third-grade realm to the fourth-grade realm.

If the Black Demon Lord can be completely refined in the future, the strength of these plague demons will likely increase even further.

"Okay, let's go."

The two transformed into golden light and shot out of the pagoda.

"You traitor! You unfilial disciple!!" Upon seeing this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately flew into a rage.

Lu Chen ignored him and turned to Taibai Jinxing, bowing respectfully: "Junior Lu Chen greets the old angel."

Venus paused slightly, seemingly surprised, before returning the greeting in a loud voice: "Young friend, this old man greets you."

Lu Chen bowed again, then turned to the Plague God and other immortals, bowing deeply and saying, "Disciple greets Master, Supreme One, Star Lord, Elder Brother, and Kitchen God."

"Brother!" The God of Wealth was about to step forward, but the Plague God raised his hand to stop him and shook his head slightly.

Ignoring the atmosphere around him, the Emperor of Fengdu laughed loudly: "Boy, you've really stirred up a huge mess today! Not bad, not bad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

……

Upon seeing Lu Chen's face from the distant clouds, the immortals were immediately astonished:

"So it was this kid! He's so young!"

"Boundless Immortal Venerable, all these calamities in the Heavenly Court today were caused by Him!"

"This young man is quite something! He even has connections with so many powerful figures!"

"So what? After causing such a mess, he's unlikely to have a good end."

"Exactly! They might even be thrown into the Heavenly Prison, never to be reincarnated!"...

Whispers quickly spread throughout the area.

"Your Majesty!"

The jinx trembled behind the clouds: "It's over, it's really over!"

——Boom!

At that moment, the sky suddenly trembled violently, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and the gale howled.

Lu Chen looked up and saw that six majestic Dharma images suddenly appeared in the sky!
A figure surrounded by lightning, his divine power as vast as a prison;

A vast expanse of stars, stretching endlessly;

A dazzling array of jewels, exuding wealth and opulence;

The remaining few also possessed distinct Dharma forms and their imposing power shook the heavens.

Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply.

These are... the Eight Great Gods of Heaven?!

—They're all here?!
Seeing this, Venus smiled and said, "Since you are all here, why don't we move to my cave for a chat?"

Having said that, he lightly flicked his whisk.

Lu Chen felt as if the stars were spinning before his eyes, and the myriad scenes were changing in an instant.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a vast and magnificent palace.

The stars beneath my feet are as numerous as a compass, their clear light swirling around me;

On all four sides of the hall, the ten statues of deities were already seated calmly.

Besides the eight main deities, there are also the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and the Fengdu Emperor.

Ten powerful figures from the Heavenly Court gathered together.

In an instant, the divine might within the palace was like a vast ocean, causing Lu Chen's mind to tremble.

"Young friend, please sit down."

Venus smiled warmly, and with another wave of his whisk, an exquisite tea table suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chen.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." He forced himself to remain calm, nodded, and sat down.

Venus said leisurely, "Alright, everyone, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

As the voice faded, the oppressive atmosphere within the palace seemed to ease somewhat.

The ten lawyers exchanged glances.

"Boy, tell the truth now!"

——Boom.

A divine voice, vast and resounding, descended first.

　After completing the MVP settlement, the King of Kings chapter will end.

　　The second update is finished and is currently being polished and revised.
