Lu Chengfeng had just left when suddenly a terrifying pressure descended upon the location of Cyan Nether Palace. An ancient being arrived riding a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and its overwhelming divine might filled every corner, causing everyone to feel awe originating from their soul and bloodline.

One of the Divine Court Eight Divisions, the leader of the Celestial God Department, the Innate Divine Demon Ancient River.

The Celestial God Department had the fewest members among the Eight Divisions, yet it was the most mysterious and terrifying because only naturally born gods would be incorporated into it.

The so-called Celestial Gods refers to naturally born gods.

The vast majority of Innate Divine Demons in the Three Realms are in the Celestial God Department.

Celestial Gods were born from the heaven and earth, their divine bodies incarnations of the Great Tao of heaven and earth, thus even the weakest Celestial God is equivalent to a Dharma Form Great Power, innately nurturing Great Tao Divine Techniques.

Celestial Gods are incarnations of the Great Tao of heaven and earth, but the Great Tao contained in their divine bodies is not complete.

And a Celestial God who is truly an incarnation of a complete Great Tao is known as an Innate Divine Demon.

Innate Divine Demons are complete incarnations of the Great Tao, essentially equivalent to a Celestial Venerate. However, because Innate Divine Demons are essentially incarnations of the Heavenly Path, they cannot open the heavens and earth like a Celestial Venerate.

Moreover, although they are born sacred, they are also constrained by their divine bodies, so their combat power is often one step inferior to a Celestial Venerate.

Of course, this is not absolute. Ancient River, the Innate Divine Demon, is one of the most formidable Innate Divines in the Three Realms, ruling the Celestial God Department and revered as Taicang Path-Suppressing Divine Venerate.

This Divine Venerate's most famous achievement is when he took a fancy to a pair of twin White Tigers born from the heaven and earth and wanted to take them as his consorts.

Though the pair of White Tigers were Innate Divine Demons, they had just emerged and could only flee for their lives.

Later, Earth Mother Dragon Venerate intervened to save one White Tiger, and the Central State Taoist Master intervened to save another White Tiger, who are now the Dou Department White Tiger Divine Venerate and White Tiger Continent White Tiger Taoist Lord.

Ancient River was furious and battled with Earth Mother for over a hundred years. Eventually, Earth Mother and Celestial Patrol Divine Venerable joined forces to finally repel the raging Ancient River.

However, Ancient River was also very domineering. Knowing that Earth Mother's Dharma Form was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, he directly used his methods to create a pure-blooded Five-Clawed Golden Dragon as a mount, clearly intending to embarrass Earth Mother.

Earth Mother and Celestial Patrol Divine Venerable were extremely enraged, but even together, they could only force Ancient River to retreat, unable to defeat him.

As for the Central State Taoist Master, it is said he was directly severely injured, with billions of his people dead or wounded. In the end, it was the Empress who acted and directly suppressed Ancient River for three thousand years, finally putting an end to the matter.

Ancient River's ferocious might was renowned throughout the Three Realms. More importantly, he is an Innate Divine Demon, and Innate Divine Demons are claimed as children of the Heavenly Dao, born with a lifespan of eighty thousand years, nearly akin to a Celestial Venerate.

Even a Celestial Venerate would fear such an existence.

Back then, Ancient River wanted to marry Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable but was slashed off an arm by Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable wielding the Innate Killing Sword, from which he harbored hatred ever since.

Adding onto that the great enmity from being suppressed by the Empress for three thousand years, he was filled with anger and malice towards this pair of mother and daughter, but was unable to overcome either of them, forced to submit in their presence.

Now that the Empress had fallen and the Divine Court collapsed, his thoughts immediately turned to the Innate Killing Sword in Cyan Nether Palace. That sword, which once slashed through his Innate Divine Demon body, was imagined to be extremely sharp and prominent.

If he succeeded, he was confident he could cut down that wretched Earth Mother in front of Celestial Patrol.

However, upon arrival, he discovered Cyan Nether Palace falling towards the Lower Realm, and his face turned extremely troubled, his eyes blazing with a brilliant golden light, locking onto the palace.

Just as he was about to chase after it, he suddenly sensed the aura of Celestial Patrol Divine Venerable emanating from Shenxiao Palace, and his face changed, "What audacity, daring to seize my Divine Palace."

In his view, with the Empress fallen, no one in the Celestial Realm was his match. Celestial Patrol and Earth Mother, those adulterous pair, were his defeated opponents, only daring to stand before him when combined.

In the Divine Court Eight Divisions, who else was more qualified than him to assume control of the Divine Court after the Empress' fall?

"Ignorant thing, daring to covet this Venerate's Divine Palace, it's simply courting death."

He suddenly struck down on the Golden Dragon beneath, causing it to emit a whimper of painful low roar, then transformed into a golden Escape Light, speeding towards Shenxiao Palace.

The speed of a Divine Venerate traversing is incredibly swift; even though the Celestial Realm is vast, he could arrive in an instant.

When he reached Shenxiao Palace, Celestial Patrol Divine Venerable had already intruded, and he could not help but roar in anger, sternly shouting, "A mere Three-legged Crow, fortunate enough to attain the Tao, should recognize the blessing of the heavens, yet dares to covet the position of Divine Emperor, completely ignorant of your own insignificance."

"Get out here immediately, or today shall be the day of your demise."

As he spoke, he, without hesitation, directly made his move, his body flickering, left arm entwined with a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, right hand clutching a Divine Seal, Profound Yellow Qi turned into a Divine Robe draping over his divine body.

Boom!

In an instant, he smashed in from outside Shenxiao Palace.

However, at this moment, Earth Mother Dragon Venerate and Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Celestial Venerate also arrived, the two glanced at each other, and without hesitation charged in.

In an instant, within Shenxiao Palace, four Divine Venerates engaged in a fierce battle, shattering the surrounding heavens and lands, breaking the void, chaos surging, destructive ripples sweeping in all directions.

This commotion alarmed the other several Divine Venerates as well.

The Fire Division Divine Venerate, after a slight contemplation, rushed towards the Divine Court's treasury.

The Plague Department Divine Venerate then turned into a stream of light heading towards Cyan Nether Heaven, that place known as the Land of Divine Burial, the destined resting place of the Divine Spirits, even the Gods' List has always been suppressing Cyan Nether.
