Chapter 590: Chapter 589: Nine Nether Ao as Vanguard, Lin Heng Draws Heavenly Dao Reward Again [First Update]

Venerable Emperor Chong’en made another move against the Daoist Celestial Court.

With a single palm, he crushed the Endless Star Realm, bringing with it boundless flames and thunderbolts, pressing down towards the Eastern Immortal Realm.

The terrifying pressure made one’s Divine Soul tremble.

Although it had been experienced several times over the past decade, every encounter left all beings breathless.

There was no alternative.

The aura of a Saint was too terrifying.

As long as they appeared, they would incite awe among all living beings.

Even Quasi-Saints could not resist that bone-deep fear.

The Celestial Court was in a state of panic.

But fortunately, as fortune churned, that purple-gold figure appeared once more as it had for the past ten years on the Thirty-Three Heavens.

As always, fortune cloaked him, transformed into a Celestial Dragon.

Accompanied by earth-shaking rumbles, the Taixu Celestial Venerable once again blocked the Saint’s Dharma Palm. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Very soon.

The sky-covering Dharma Palm faded away, and the Saint’s pressure withdrew like the tide.

...

In the Celestial Palace.

Shen Gongbao’s expression was complex.

"Across the borders, many great clans have fled again."

"The Nine Nether Ao has established its own power, constantly absorbing the Celestial Court’s subjects, with Venerable Emperor Chong’en backing it, many want to join."

"Today, it has established its own Immortal Court Level Dynasty in the East Rift Continent."

Shen Gongbao spoke of the current situation, his tone filled with helplessness.

Although the Eastern Immortal Realm had mostly been under the Celestial Court’s rule, ever since Venerable Emperor Chong’en attained enlightenment, the Celestial Court lost the opportunity to expand its territory.

On the contrary, the remaining dozens of continents.

Were unified by six Quasi-Saints led by the Nine Nether Ao.

And they established a force called the Celestial Dao Sacred Court!

In recent years, as Venerable Emperor Chong’en repeatedly pressured the Celestial Court, the Celestial Dao Sacred Court continued spreading rumors of the Celestial Court’s impending doom, threatening and enticing many Celestial Court subjects to defect.

Initially.

Shen Gongbao adopted strategies, sealing various borders to prevent Celestial Court subjects from leaving.

Who would have thought.

That this would cause those unable to leave to spread more anxious sentiments, making more beings live in constant fear.

Ultimately.

Realizing that it was better to let go than to block, Shen Gongbao had no choice but to loosen the restrictions.

Thus, in ten years, the number of beings fleeing the Celestial Court reached trillions.

And these beings naturally were absorbed by the Nine Nether Ao’s Celestial Dao Sacred Court.

"The Nine Nether Ao is becoming increasingly arrogant, often gathering Immortal Soldiers and Immortal Generals to flaunt their strength at the borders of the Celestial Court, truly hateful."

Whenever discussing the Nine Nether Ao, Shen Gongbao’s tone was full of anger.

When it first ascended to the Celestial Court.

The Nine Nether Ao attempted to seize fortune.

Later, it was said that when it fled to the outskirts of the universe, Yang Jian found it, a fate that should’ve led to its death.

But who knew that in a critical moment, Venerable Emperor Chong’en intervened.

Almost killing Yang Jian on the spot.

Had it not been for the Red-bottomed Macaque, foreseeing danger and taking Yang Jian away in a critical moment.

At that time, the renowned True Monarch Erlang might have perished at the hands of a Saint!

"Venerable Emperor Chong’en is now determined to become the destroyer of the Dao."

"But he doesn’t want too great a karma, so he uses the Nine Nether Ao and others as his pawns."

"Though Daoist Lord, you rely on the Celestial Court’s fortune, ensuring temporary safety, the constant loss of fortune means there will eventually be a time when Venerable Emperor Chong’en cannot be stopped."

"By then, it truly will be difficult to know what to do... "

Over the years, Shen Gongbao had been worrying about Celestial Court affairs, his face visibly weary.

"I will find a way to resolve this crisis."

Lin Heng said solemnly, having already formulated some plans in his mind.

"Has there been any movement on the Great Qin side recently?" Lin Heng suddenly asked.

"It’s the same as in previous years, still contending with the Western Heaven for Southern Domain’s territory, but not much else."

Shen Gongbao said, adding, "However, using heavenly calculation, I discovered that the Central Immortal Realm often has terrifying auras passing by, it seems the First Emperor Ying Zheng may have made some breakthrough."

"Of course, this is just speculation. A young talent in Great Qin called the Ghost Valley Master has profound skills in heavenly calculation and has been disrupting it so that outsiders cannot perceive Ying Zheng’s situation."

"And for the past ten years, Ying Zheng hasn’t taken a step outside the Celestial Palace, so what exactly is the situation is difficult for me to conclude."

With the Celestial Court’s mighty unable to go out, the world’s information source mostly relied on deductions.

As one of the outstanding figures in this field.

Such a task naturally fell on Shen Gongbao’s shoulders.

This was also why Shen Gongbao appeared so fatigued.

"Back then, the North Sea Dragon Race entered the Great Qin, delivering several thousand dragon corpses to Ying Zheng."

"Including some Quasi-Saint level corpses."

"Ying Zheng follows the path of Corpse Cultivation, having retreated for intense cultivation, likely with a significant enhancement in strength."

"However, he should also be hesitant to leave the Great Qin territory."

"After all, with the Nine Nether Ao supported by Venerable Emperor Chong’en also establishing a Destiny Dynasty, no one can guarantee that Venerable Emperor Chong’en won’t perform decapitation strikes on other dynasties."

Lin Heng’s eyes shimmered with insight.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en was different from previous Saints.

He could be considered the freest of all Saints.

Having attained enlightenment for ten years, he had remained active in the world, yet similar to other Saints, he did not easily entangle himself in karma.

But Venerable Emperor Chong’en did not wish to entangle himself in the karma of all beings.

For a few individuals, he could clearly manage.

Thus, top-tier experts from all sides dared not easily reveal themselves.

After all.

No one could guarantee that while Venerable Emperor Chong’en was destroying the Dao, he wouldn’t casually eliminate some others.

"Ying Zheng..." Lin Heng mused, lost in thought.

...

Returning to the Forbidden Palace.

Lin Heng summoned the system panel once more.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s sudden move had interrupted his second lottery draw.

Now, he naturally had to continue.

"Begin, Celestial Dao Level lottery."

Lin Heng spoke straightforwardly, issuing the command.

"As you command."

With the system’s response, the void shattered, countless Order Chains appearing before him.

Then came the sound of breaking again.

All before him vanished, leaving only a single Order Chain piercing into his brow.

The system text immediately appeared.

[Congratulations to the host: Gained Power of Rule, Death of the Dao!]

[Congratulations to the host: Received bonus reward, Human Emperor’s Finger!]

Death of the Dao, belonging to Celestial Dao Rules, means after death, all remnants left in the world are erased, completely ceasing to exist.

Human Emperor’s Finger, possessing the power of Fu Xi, the Saint of the Human Race, can slash through heavens and earth, annihilating all evils, a true Saint’s strike!

"This..."

Seeing the two Celestial Dao rewards drawn this time, Lin Heng’s expression became exceptionally grave.

"Integrate immediately!"

He commanded resolutely.

"As you command."

With the system’s response, two points of light merged into his brow.

Lin Heng, in his mind, felt the power of these two techniques.

Death of the Dao is a Power of Rule, once integrated, it’s entirely mastered, its use depends on the state at the time.

While Human Emperor’s Finger can only be used once.
