Chapter 613 - 372: Troops Deployed (Two in One)_3

"If he is allowed to continue developing and advance this Heavenly Mechanics Methods to the eighth or even ninth tier, I fear even True Immortals would not be able to restrain him. With this man’s wolf-like ambition, he will surely rise up against the Heavenly Court and seek to usurp it!"
"How presumptuous!!!"
Before the words were finished, they were cut off by a fierce scolding.
Taibai Star Lord immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to speak further.
Though no more words were spoken, the objective had already been achieved.
Threats and enticements!
There is no need to elaborate on threats, as the consequences had been made clear.
As for enticements...
The Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate, the Heavenly Mechanics Methods, all the extraordinary and supreme treasures on that person, Heaven Reaching opportunities.
Your Majesty, and all the Immortal Monarchs, are you not the least bit tempted?
Jade Emperor’s face was as still as water, his brows showed anger, but he said no more.
"Your Majesty, what Taibai Star Lord said is not unreasonable."
At this moment, ahead of the queue, a Calamity Immortal declared his stance, none other than the Immortal Monarch of the Southern Court.
With the Immortal Monarch of the Southern Court taking a stance, the Immortal Monarch of the Northern Court also spoke, "This matter requires deliberation. Otherwise, wouldn’t the world think that anyone can deceive our Heavenly Court?"
"This man has caused chaos in the Dragon Palace, disrupted the Underworld, and provoked the Heaven, his sins are unforgivable; he must be executed!"
Quickly, all four Immortal Monarchs of the palaces took their positions, all eyes on the Jade Emperor.
"So be it!"
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor also sighed: "Let it be according to the views of the court, summon the Dipper Department, the two Lords of Wealth and Fate from the Southern Dipper, the three stars Lean, Wugong, and Soldier Breaker from the Northern Dipper, lead the Heavenly Gang and Earth Sha, the Nine Luminaries Star Officials, and also dispatch the Five Lords from east, west, south, north, and center of the Thunder Department, taking command of thirty-six generals, along with the Fire Virtue Star Lord from the Fire Department, the Lord Plague Star from the Plague Department, and one million Celestial Soldiers to descend to the Lower Realm, bringing along the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap..."
The Jade Emperor gave his orders, summoning the five stars of the Dipper Department, the five lords of the Thunder Department, the leaders of the Fire Department and Plague Department - a total of twelve Calamity Immortals, the Heavenly Gang and Earth Sha, the Nine Luminaries Star Officials, the generals of the Thunder Department, over a hundred Mahayana Divine Generals, as well as the subordinate one million Celestial Soldiers.
Additionally, with the White Tiger Star leading the White Tiger Seven Constellations and the troops from the Western Extreme Auxiliary Court, this campaign would mobilize nineteen Calamity Immortal Monarchs, nearly two hundred Mahayana Divine Generals, and over a hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers.
Except for the absence of a True Immortal Emperor to lead the charge, the scale was already that of a great war amongst the Immortal Gods, a campaign against the Monster Nation and Demon Abyss.
In the end, the Jade Emperor handed a jade decree to a nearby attendant Spirit Official: "Deliver this letter to the Northern Polar Auxiliary Court, and hand it to the Emperor of the North Pole!"
"Yes!"
The attendant Spirit Official received the order and left the Lingxiao Hall.
All the immortals present were shocked at this.
A letter to the Northern Polar Auxiliary Court?
It seems that not only are the four palaces united in their cause, but the Emperor is also determined to succeed!
...
Upon the Jade Emperor’s command, all immortals took action, a million soldiers and generals rose in a fierce momentum, leaving court in a rush.
The winds roared violently, the world dimmed!
The mist surged, the sun and moon darkened!
Taoism caused an uproar in the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor’s heart harbored intent to kill.
The immortals saw gain and were moved, a myriad of stars descended to the dust of the mortal world.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Yang Yun clouds rolled in, the Great Dark Heaven, first in the ranks was the Dipper Department.
The Southern Dipper stars, the two Lords of Wealth and Fate.
The Northern Dipper stars, the three army commanders Lean, Wugong, and Soldier Breaker.
Plus the thirty-six fierce Heavenly Gang figures and the seventy-two rabid Earth Sha, along with the Nine Luminaries Star Officials - all formidable deities.
The vanguard marched forward fiercely.
Looking at the main force, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.
It was the Thunder Department’s formation, commanded by the Five Lords, with Lord Yellow Earth Thunder at the center, Lord East Azure Wood Thunder, Lord South Vermilion Fire Thunder, Lord West White Metal Thunder, and Lord North Black Water Thunder - all Calamity Immortal Monarchs, the true deities of the Thunder Department.
The Five Lords led thirty-six generals, the directors of Cloud Thunder from all eight directions, the Innate Rain Master Interior Minister, the Open Heaven Lord of Thunder in charge of transformation, the Demon-Subduing Sweeping Pollutions Lord of Thunder, the Majestic Light Striking Evil General - all true generals of the Thunder Department, followed by the Lord and Lady of Thunder, Mrs.
Wind, the Rain Master, each with their thunder drums and Electric Mirrors, standing atop the heavy Yang Yun clouds, covering the skies and heading to the Lower Realm.
This was the central army; now, observe the rearguard.
The leader of the Fire Department, Fire Virtue Star Lord, the leader of the Plague Department, Lord Plague God, the Fire Department’s subalterns waving the fire procession flag, and the Plague Department’s soldiers wielding the command of the plague decree, seemingly like demons and ghosts but in fact ferocious spirits and evils.
Above the three armies lay even greater might.
The Seven Constellations of the Western Extreme, with Taibai shocking the heavens, the seven deadly stars descending, their fearsome might directly threatening the Underwood.
```
Such divine weapons, mobilizing an army, tumultuously marched out of the Heavenly Court and headed straight into the South Observance territory.
"This is..."
"Heaven, Heavenly Court?"
Atop Qingfeng Mountain, the cultivators raised their hands, only to see the Great Dark Heaven, with Yang Yun clouds sprawling across, and above the clouds, countless proud soldiers and fierce warriors, along with sinister and malevolent figures. Leading them was an assemblage of stern Immortal Lords of the stars, akin to divine beings, commanding celestial might.
Although they had anticipated it and prepared early, the sight was so shocking that their faces turned pale.

"Wugong Star has been defeated, the Arhats are coming!"
"Thrice attacking Mount Longevity, four times advancing on Wuzhuang Temple!"
"Heavenly Court, are they truly determined to win at all costs?"
"Brother Dao...!"
The crowd was unspeakably shocked, gazing towards Wuzhuang with even more disquiet.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of thunder drums and heavy mallets shook heaven and earth.
A million celestial soldiers surged forward, stretching across the heavens for thousands of miles, pressing down upon the Tao Veins of Wuzhuang.
Mount Longevity and Wuzhuang Temple, despite being Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, remained tranquil and utterly unaffected by the celestial changes.
Above the clouds, in front of the formation, the lords gathered to discuss strategy.
Lord of the Star of Life from the Southern Dipper, looking down at Mount Longevity’s Cave Heaven, saw the mists and majestic mountains, tranquil and yet seemingly containing endless mysteries, deeply unfathomable.
Therefore, he addressed the assembly, asking, "His Majesty has said that this individual is extraordinary, with a vast divine aura and a mastery of Array Formation. There must be something hidden within this mountain. Who will lead the charge and probe its reality?"
"Hmph!"
Lord West White Metal Thunder of the Thunder Department, standing in line with the White Tiger Seven Constellations, looked down coldly at the Cave Heaven Blessed Land: "Let’s start with Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire, bombard them with three hundred and sixty-five strikes, and their reality will naturally reveal itself!"
"Very good!"
The assembled lords agreed upon hearing this.
Lord Si Ming of the Star of Life didn’t say much more: "Then let the Thunder Department take the field, and with Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire, we’ll probe the reality!"
The five lords of the Thunder Department nodded, retreated back into the formation, and led thirty-six generals and hundreds of thousands of celestial soldiers, riding the Yang Yun clouds that stormed out and overwhelmed the summit of Mount Longevity and the tops of Wuzhuang Temple.
Instantly, the thunder drums were activated, the Electric Mirror was flipped, Lord of Thunder and Lady Lightning prepared the thunderbolts, Mrs. Wind and Rain Master summoned the storm, the Five Great Lords of Thunder took charge, and the thirty-six generals arrayed themselves, about to unfold the grand Thunder Department Array, and shake the heavens with Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire.
But unexpectedly...
"Boom boom boom!"
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of drums reverberated, and the wind and clouds transformed.
Thunder started rumbling, and heaven and earth were shocked.
"Hmm!?"
The five lords of the Thunder Department’s gaze sharpened, startled, they looked up.
They saw...
Beyond the sky, the sun and moon darkened, with vast and endless darkness, boundless Yang Yun clouds!
Above the ninth heaven, at the zenith of the firmament, towering above the sprawling Yang Yun clouds, appeared a palace, a Heavenly Palace Immortal City constructed of white jade.
The White Jade Capital from high above!
No sooner did the White Jade Immortal City appear than the Supreme Pure Immortal Light combined with the Duotian Divine Thunder, shaking all the celestial realms.
Below the Immortal City, a million cultivators were arrayed; there too were thunder drums and many Electric Mirrors, mana altars were established, incense smoke curled up, strongmen bared their upper bodies with wild and disheveled hair, tumultuously beating the thunder drums, making heaven and earth roar, Daoists performed the Gang Fight Step, holding swords for sacrifices, chanting Shenxiao Curse Spells, invoking the Duotian Thunderbolt...
"Boom boom boom!"
Amidst the sound of thunder and incantations, sea and air reverberated with the shock of wind and thunder, and giant shadows appeared across the sky, all of them Flying Boats cutting through space, resembling colossal warships.
Each Flying Boat, each Warship, like a pod of whales breaching the vast ocean, roamed the open skies, flawlessly aligned, with their tightly structured hulls engraved with elaborate ancient characters, forming Talismans that constituted a series of restrictions, ultimately constructing an imposing and intricate Great Array.
Each warship, integrated as a whole yet composed of countless intricate parts, flew banners high, and on board, altars were raised, cultivators presided, the Yuan Spirit Light flickered, and the power of Taoism was flaunted. On the warship’s side, the characters "Wandao Celestial Patrol" glinted with splendor.
"Boom boom boom!"
Amidst the thunder, hundreds of warships appeared in the sky; in an instant, they filled the heavens.
Then, once again, the Immortal City stirred, stepping out from within it was a colossal figure, towering high, imposing as it stood between heaven and earth, indeed a Golden Armor Divine General with golden eyes and vermillion hair, a Phoenix beak and silver teeth, wielding a golden whip, treading upon wind and lightning.
Following one giant, yet another appeared, Pure Yang and a thousand swords, Southern Dipper sweeping away demons, thunderfire overturning the heavens...
Each Divine General, emerging from the city, trampled upon the dark Yang Yun clouds, and gazed down upon the celestial soldiers of the Thunder Department.
