Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

"How infuriating! The troubles of the Chan Sect, of all people, have to be solved by me!"

The Jade Emperor was startled upon hearing this, for he was well aware of Jiang Chen's prowess.

This zombie king is far more powerful than the likes of Sun Wukong.

Now that trouble has come knocking, he can't ignore it, and he falls silent.

"This matter is of great importance! Ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals cannot subdue Jiang Chen; it requires someone with great supernatural powers and magical abilities to step forward."

Having racked his brains but finding no other way, the Jade Emperor prepared to pass the matter on.

"Great Celestial Venerable, may the Heavenly Court send one of its most powerful warriors to subdue this person?"

Cui Yu smiled wryly and asked, forcing a smile.

He was a figure obtained from the mundane court.

I've seen this kind of thing many times.

He knew exactly what the Jade Emperor meant.

He knew this task would be difficult, but he couldn't keep quiet. If the Heavenly Court didn't come to the rescue soon, the Underworld might really be replaced.

If the Ten Kings of Hell lose their territory, what will become of him, the judge?

Can he still temporarily keep the two innate spiritual treasures, the "Judge's Pen" and the "Book of Life and Death" in his hands?

Without the underworld, wouldn't he also become a wandering ghost?

"Alright! Then let the Supreme Immortal Huanglong Zhenren of Zhongtian Huangji go and quell the rebellion!"

The Jade Emperor, left with no other choice, had a sudden thought and issued a decree.

Before Cui Yu could continue speaking, the duty celestial official led Judge Cui out of the "Lingxiao Palace".

Immediately afterwards, the Jade Emperor announced the end of the court session.

The group of immortals breathed a sigh of relief; at least they didn't have to risk their lives.

Before leaving, the Jade Emperor glanced at Venus.

Venus understood his meaning, and immediately withdrew from the court and went straight to the rear hall.

Before long, Venus entered the inner hall.

Venus quickly bowed to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor, preoccupied with his own thoughts, waved his hand impatiently and said, "Here, there's no need for formalities!"

The Jade Emperor glanced at Venus and pondered for a moment.

Only then did he speak, asking, "Just now in the Lingxiao Palace, you saw how shameless the Chan Sect is. Instead of dealing with this mess, the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun (Grand Master of Salvation) has made me handle this trouble. What are your plans?"

The Jade Emperor was able to buy some time and teach the Ten Kings of Hell a lesson.

However, he dared not stand idly by and watch the underworld perish.

Upon hearing this, Venus laughed and said, "Why should Your Majesty be troubled? Zombies are not within the cycle of heaven and earth, nor within the six realms and five elements; they are not ordinary ghosts. Why should we fight to the death with Jiang Chen?"

Stealing a glance at the Jade Emperor's expressionless face, Venus felt a chill run down his spine.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Six Emperors of Heaven are not just the Great Heavenly Venerable alone. Since the people of the Chan Sect have disappeared, why don't we pass this task on to the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor was greatly moved. As the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Four Realms, he seemed to have countless capable subordinates, but when it came to crucial moments, he had very few who could truly be commanded.

Especially when facing a late-stage Quasi-Saint with great supernatural powers like Jiang Chen.

If they had sent their own people to fight, who knows how many would have perished?

How could he dare to waste his meager savings?

The Red Essence Child, the Great Savior of Suffering, and the Yellow Dragon Immortal have all disappeared.

Currently, the only figure representing the Chan Sect in Heaven is Yang Jian, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

This is his own nephew; how could he bear to send him out to risk his life against Jiang Chen?

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, occupies 70% of the power of the Heavenly Court, yet he never manages anything, and all the blame is placed on his head.

This behavior was truly outrageous, but considering that Chaos Dao Lord had attained enlightenment, it was not something he could target. However, the frustration he felt still deeply agitated him.

At this moment, Venus suggested that he shift the blame to the Jie Sect, which gave Venus a sudden idea.

Whether or not the Jie Sect members go to save the Chan Sect members is none of his business.

This is great news!

Having considered this, the Jade Emperor asked, "How should this be carried out?"

Venus chuckled and said, "Cui Yu hasn't left yet, why not send him to Ziwei Heaven for help?"

"Okay! You take care of this!"

The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction. As long as he wasn't asked to seek help from the Purple Star Emperor of the North Pole, the matter could be resolved.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty! This humble servant will take care of this matter!"

Venus wore a warm smile, but inwardly sighed, feeling miserable about having to take the blame for everything.

As he pondered this, Venus flew toward the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Before long, they found Cui Yu.

"Judge Cui!"

Venus laughed and called out to Cui Yu.

"Cui Yu greets the Star Lord!"

In a panic, Cui Yu quickly asked, "Star Lord, has the Great Heavenly Venerable issued a decree to pursue us?"

"Uh! The Great Celestial Venerable did not issue any decree."

Seeing Cui Yu's disappointment, Venus said again, "It's like this, I'll show you a way. The Great Emperor of the North Pole in the Central Heaven, Ziwei, governs the Four Realms."

"The Nine Netherworlds are also within its jurisdiction! You can go to the Purple Star Heaven and ask to see the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven. I believe the Great Emperor is merciful and will send immortals to subdue Jiang Chen."

"this……"

Hearing Venus's words, Cui Yu was speechless. How could he not know that this was a vicious scheme to shift the blame?

However, considering that the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, possessed boundless magical power and great supernatural abilities, he was also persuaded by Venus.

The Jade Emperor clearly didn't want to help, so let's find another place to ask for help.

"Alright! Thank you for your guidance, Star Lord! This humble fairy takes her leave!"

Without bothering with formalities, Cui Yu bowed and began heading towards the direction of Ziwei Heaven.

Before long, they arrived outside the "Ziwei Palace," informed the celestial official on duty, and explained their purpose.

The celestial official on duty entered the palace and informed Cui Yu of the matter.

"Heaven is helping me!"

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven was overjoyed upon hearing this, for this was the perfect opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Underworld.

"Summon Cui Yu to an audience."

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

"yes!"

The celestial official on duty responded and invited Cui Yu, who was waiting outside, in.

"This humble immortal, Cui Yu, pays homage to the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven! May the Great Emperor live a long and prosperous life!"

Unlike when he met the Jade Emperor, Cui Yu was even more respectful when facing the Purple Emperor of the North Pole in the Central Heaven.

This is the benevolent corpse of a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal.

Such a great figure is no different from a saint; how could he dare to be negligent in the slightest?

"Hmm! What brings you here?"

Although he already knew the purpose of Judge Cui's visit, the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven still asked again.

"Reporting to the Emperor, it's like this..."

Judge Cui was helpless; he had said these words four times in one day.

We dare not be careless at all!

These are all people he can't afford to offend.

Needless to say, the Great Emperor of the North Pole and the Jade Emperor are the main figures. As for the Heavenly King of Growth and the Duty Celestial Official guarding the gate, how could they let him in if he couldn't explain himself clearly?

"Yes! I am already aware of this matter."

After a moment of silence, the Great Emperor of the North Star of the Central Heaven said, "The Star Lord of Literature."

"Your subject is here!"

The God of Literature stepped forward and responded.

"Issue an imperial decree! Order the Heavenly Official who bestows blessings during the Upper Yuan Festival, the Earthly Official who pardons sins during the Middle Yuan Festival, and the Water Official who relieves calamities during the Lower Yuan Festival to descend to the mortal realm and capture the zombie king, Jiang Chen."

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven gave the order.

"As you command!"

Soon, the God of Literature drafted the decree, which was then stamped with the imperial seal by the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, and the decree was issued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is merciful!"

Cui Yu was overjoyed; this time, she had finally found the right place.

The Three Officials are important ministers under the Central Heaven North Pole Purple Star Emperor, and are quasi-saints with great supernatural powers. The fact that such a great figure took action shows that the Central Heaven North Pole Purple Star Emperor is not just putting on a show like the Jade Emperor.

Upon comparison, the difference between the two emperors is truly like heaven and earth.

No wonder the ruler of Heaven is the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven!

How could the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the four realms, be so petty and narrow-minded as to gain the trust of the four realms?

With the help of the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Judge Cui happily went with the God of Literature to deliver the decree.

"This is an opportunity! The Jie Sect also needs to send some talented people; otherwise, how can they rightfully occupy the Underworld?"

When no one was in the "Ziwei Palace", the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven Ziwei made some calculations and sent a telepathic message to "Wuyi Mountain".

"Oh? Such a turn of events? It's as if the underworld deliberately let the wolf into their house!"

Master Xinghe was overjoyed. His spirits lifted, and he immediately summoned all the disciples of the "Wuyi Mountain" lineage.

That general is fierce; even the Three Officials Emperor might not be his match.

To ensure absolute success, it was natural to have one's own disciples take action.

Yuan Hong, Su Daji, the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, Wuzhiqi, and even Yunxiao's disciple, the Old Mother of Lishan, were summoned.

Apart from the utterly useless Marshal Tianpeng, everyone who was supposed to come has arrived.

No one knew what Master Xinghe meant. After bowing, they all carefully observed Master Xinghe's expression.

However, how could they possibly understand Xinghe Zhenren's thoughts given his profound cultivation?

The entire "Chaos Palace" was extremely quiet, with only the faint scent of sandalwood incense wafting through the air.

Two hours later, several more figures entered the palace.

Yuan Hong and the others looked and saw that it was Fairy Bixiao, Fairy Qiongxiao, Zhao Gongming, Fairy Caiyun, and others. These were all great supernatural beings from the "Three Immortal Islands" lineage.

The ten Quasi-Saints of the Chaos Dao Lord lineage had all arrived. Star River True Man sized them up and nodded in approval.

Among these people, Yuan Hong and Zhao Gongming are both experts in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, each with unparalleled combat power. The others have severed one of their corpses, but with treasures protecting them, their combat power is not low.

"The reason I have summoned you here today is because a change has occurred in the Underworld. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, the best time for our Jie Sect to take control of the Underworld."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Master Xinghe spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill, realizing that the gathering was due to matters concerning the underworld.

As they were all high-ranking members of the Jie Sect, they naturally knew how much Chaos Dao Lord valued the Nine Nether Lands. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that Xinghe Zhenren summoned them.

"The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven has already dispatched the Three Officials to subdue Jiang Chen. However, this demon is not weak, and the Three Officials may not be his match. You should all go and assist him, and you must take down the Underworld."

"Yes, teacher (senior)!"

Having received the imperial decree, the crowd filed out.

This was no time for idle chatter; everyone's faces were serious, determined to complete the biggest plan of the Jie Sect this time!

We must seize control of the underworld!

When Zhao Gongming, Yuan Hong, and the other ten quasi-saints arrived at the underworld, they saw the Three Officials and the Ten Kings of Hell surrounding the zombie king Jiang Chen.

Surrounding them were celestial soldiers and underworld deities, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the zombie race.

The zombie clan is one of the major clans in the Nine Netherworld.

This time, tens of millions of troops were mobilized to attack the underworld.

Iron-armored zombies, bronze-armored zombies, silver-armored zombies, gold-armored zombies—almost the entire army of them came out.

This time, the Three Officials Emperor went all out, mobilizing tens of millions of heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as some Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (a type of deity).

At this moment, the twenty-four Heavenly Lords who commanded clouds and rain, high in the sky, unleashed bursts of lightning.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations also jointly set up a grand formation to trap several golden-armored zombies at the quasi-saint level.

Zhou Tianlei's team and the fire team also continuously used their techniques in the void.

The entire Nine Netherworld was in an uproar.

After so many years, a battle of this magnitude has suddenly erupted here again.

This even surpasses the scale of the great war between Buddhism and the Asura race in the past.

"Boom!"

Thunderbolts pounded the heavens, heavenly fire raged, divine weapons were wielded upon them, and deafening attacks resounded everywhere.

The ten Quasi-Saints' hearts pounded upon seeing this. Fortunately, they had come to their aid; otherwise, the Heavenly Court's forces might not have been able to subdue those zombies.

There were simply too many zombies, and each one was extremely resilient. These zombies were fearless and each charge tore apart many underworld spirits and killed many heavenly soldiers in the void.

"Hahaha! Three Great Emperors, your cultivation is far too weak. You are merely mid-stage Quasi-Saints, how could you possibly be a match for me?"

Jiang Chen laughed loudly and charged wildly through the encirclement of the three men.

The three officials—the Heavenly Official who bestows blessings on the first day of the lunar month, the Earthly Official who pardons sins on the second day of the lunar month, and the Water Official who relieves calamities on the third day of the lunar month—were all sweating profusely. They were all focused on dealing with the situation, fearing that if they were not careful, they would be torn to pieces by this person.

The Three Officials secretly groaned in their hearts; the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, had truly assigned them a difficult task.

When they went to conquer the underworld, why didn't the Great Emperor bestow upon them one or two powerful magical treasures?

Now, it seems very difficult to complete the task.

"Heavenly Official who bestows blessings on the Upper Yuan Festival, Earthly Official who pardons sins on the Middle Yuan Festival, Water Official who relieves calamities on the Lower Yuan Festival! Do not worry, this humble Taoist has come to your aid!"

Having grasped the situation, Yuan Hong roared and charged forward with the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, and Wuzhiqi.

In an instant, the seven quasi-saint generals surrounded him, and all sorts of divine weapons and magical treasures were aimed at him.

Meanwhile, Zhao Gongming, Bixiao Fairy, Qiongxiao Fairy, Caiyun Fairy, Su Daji, and the Old Mother of Lishan joined the other heavenly soldiers and generals to help them fight against the golden-armored zombies.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoists of the Jie Sect, you've come at the right time! If we had been any later, the three of us would probably be dead here."

The Heavenly Official, overjoyed at the Lantern Festival's bestowal of blessings, couldn't help but shout out.

"Hahaha! Our master has issued a decree; we certainly can't stand by and watch the three emperors meet with disaster!"

Yuan Hong responded with a loud laugh, but showed no mercy as he swung his "Star Cudgel" down at Jiang Chen.

This attack was delivered with full force; the strike of a late-stage Quasi-Saint level expert caused the void of the Nine Netherworld to tremble. (End of Chapter)
