>Powerful figures led by the Jade Emperor Immortal are already eager to see what happens.

Now seeing the armies of all tribes appear, they instinctively let out a sigh of relief, but soon their brows furrowed.

There is nothing else.

The number of powerful warriors in the heavens is too small.

In the eyes of powerful figures from the Netherworld, there were only twenty-six powerhouses at the level of Divine Emperor. There were more Divine Lords, but only sixty-three in total.

Such power, if placed within a certain force, wouldn't be considered weak.

But.

If this were placed throughout the entire heavens, such strength would be extremely weak.

Who would have thought.

In the former glory of the heavens, only twenty-six divine emperors remain.

The Jade King Immortal's face was stiff, and he looked at the Seven Souls God Emperor probingly and said: "The strength of the dark forces is extraordinary. At this time, all heavens don't need to hide their strength. Why not let all the powerful people come out We can crush the dark forces with thunderous force, and we can also restore the stable situation in the underworld."

"I'm afraid I will disappoint the Jade Emperor. What you see now is the power of most of the heavens. Besides those few powerful beings stationed in various realms, this is all the power we can muster."

Qisha Shenhuang's words left Yujing Xianwang momentarily speechless.

Other powerful figures from other underworld forces also fell silent upon hearing this.

All heavens are feeble.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

They had already expected this.

It's not surprising that after the ancient catastrophe, the heavens were unable to recover their vitality. What is unexpected, however, is just how weak they have become.

The entire celestial realm could only summon twenty-six Divine Emperors, which might be comparable to the strength of the Huayang Ancestral Court a thousand years ago.

To be precise, it's not as good as the ancestral home of Huayang from back then.

After all, the Huayang ancestral home a thousand years ago, although there was only one immortal, there were also dozens of powerful figures at the level of great powers. Like ancient ancestral homes and sects such as Tian Gang Ancestral Home, their foundations were not weak either.

Compare.

Heaven is for the weak and pitiful.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Jade King Immortal, Qi Po Divine Emperor sighed: "Jade King Immortal, you may not know this, but the threats from the heavens are not just limited to the Dark Forbidden Lord, but also include the Heaven Demons of the Void Realm who are eyeing us hungrily."

More than a thousand years ago, we in the Tai Xu realm suffered a crushing defeat. Many divine venerables perished, and even more powerful beings met their ends.

"Nowadays, the heavens are considered the weakest they have ever been since ancient times!"

This isn't exactly a secret, and the Seven Souls God Emperor naturally wouldn't try to hide it.

"The Heavenly Demon of the Void Realm!"

The Jade Emperor looked solemn.

Throughout countless eons, the Taixu Realm appeared. Numerous powerful figures in the Netherworld had heard of its existence. Many were even former cultivators from the Divine Palace who perished within the Taixu Realm and later reborn in the Netherworld, regaining their past memories.

Over time.

News of the Void World and the Heavenly Demons naturally spread.

Even Jade Emperor, the Celestial King, couldn't have imagined that Heaven would suffer such a crushing defeat at the hands of the Demons, with so many powerful beings falling.

At this time.

Only now did the Jade Emperor realize why there were so few powerful beings in all the heavens.

But at this point, no amount of talking would be useful. Although the power of the heavens was weak, even a little help was better than none at all.

And —

Here is the translation:

The Netherworld forces worked hard to capture the defenses of the heavens. If they returned empty-handed, it would be a huge loss.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Therefore.

Even the Jade Emperor could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Next.

The Jade Emperor of the Immortals led the army of the Netherworld forces, taking the lead in stepping through the Bronze Gate. The armies of the heavens followed closely behind.

Let's go!

Shen Changqing glanced at the heavens' barrier, and to the disciples of Tianzong behind him, he said in a voice, taking the first step into the bronze gate.

>Enter the battle of the underworld.

This is a placeholder for a paragraph.

This was Shen Changqing's decision.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The Nether forces and the Dark forces have an agreement. No divine beings of the immortal level are allowed to act arbitrarily, or they will be retaliated against by Heaven's Dao.

That's it.

This means that all the immortal deities in the underworld are unable to intervene. In a sense, the most feared threat Shen Changqing faced could be temporarily disregarded.

Let's step back a bit.

If there were truly celestial beings who defied the heavens and transcended death, even risking retribution from heaven itself to intervene, he would still have a chance of survival with the Heaven-Conferring Cauldron in his possession.

As for the strong cultivators at the level of the Divine Emperor, to be honest, Shen Changqing didn't have much fear.

Without relying on external forces, he was already a powerful figure equivalent to a God Emperor of the fourth level. If he were to truly use his immortal divine weapon, even a God Emperor-level expert might be able to fight him.

Nine sacrificial cauldrons for offering to heaven.

It can even kill a god emperor at the peak of his power.

In this situation, Shen Changqing naturally had no reason to be afraid.

Remaining in the heavens for cultivation is always too slow. Only by truly experiencing battles can cultivators find the fastest path to breakthrough.

He was able to close off his cultivation for over eight hundred years, directly breaking through from the second level of Dao Fruit to the sixth level. It was just a digestion of previous accumulations.

If he continued to retreat and isolate himself, Shen Changqing knew that his progress would only become slower.

In the midst of a great calamity, time is life. True peace and quiet in hiding among the heavens may not always be a good thing. If the situation escalates again and the calamity sweeps across all heavens, who can truly remain unaffected

Heavenly Demon!

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

Void Gods!

Darkness Master!

Unnamable!

There are too many threats lurking in the heavens, so many that even Shen Changqing felt apprehensive.

So regardless of the circumstances, he strives to enhance his abilities as quickly as possible. Only then will he stand a chance of protecting himself when the cataclysmic event truly engulfs all heavens.

Entering the underworld.

This is just the best opportunity.

Even if there were risks involved, Shen Changqing was willing to take a gamble.

Stepping through the bronze gate, Shen Changqing only saw the emptiness in front of him changing. In the next instant, he saw that the surrounding scenery seemed to darken somewhat, and then the darkness turned into blood red, and his entire field of vision became clear.

Mountains rise tier upon tier.

The ancient city is located.

The blood-red sun hung high in the sky, emitting a strange bloody light. In the air, besides the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there was also a completely different aura floating about.

This breath.

... is a power drawn from the dead spirits of the underworld.

This is the very foundation upon which all Yin-Yang cultivators survive and thrive.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing turned around and looked back. The bronze gate hung in the air, and behind it was an aura that belonged to heaven itself.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

A door away.

It's two completely different realms of nothingness.

Although Shen Changqing claimed to have observed the Netherworld twice with his mystical eyes, he had never truly entered it and thus couldn't fully comprehend its unique characteristics.

This is the time.

The armies from all heavens also entered one after another.

Many monks were also looking around, their eyes showing both apprehension and curiosity.

>

"This is the underworld, isn't it"

"The Bloodsun... it does resemble our Black Demon Clan quite a bit."

“Heaven and earth’s spiritual energy... I didn’t expect that even in the underworld, there would be heaven and earth’s spiritual energy!”

When monks felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth appearing in the underworld, their expressions were startled, then immediately filled with great joy.

The existence of heaven and earth's spiritual energy indicates that one can also cultivate in the netherworld.

Like many ancient traditions in the heavens and on earth, they all rely on the cultivation of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Only Shintoism can break free from the constraints of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, growing stronger entirely through the power of faith.

Currently, the underworld is manifesting with heaven and earth's spiritual energy. For all the realms of heaven, this is excellent news.

This is the time.

The Jade Emperor Immortal King boomed, "Everyone, this place was originally occupied by the forces of darkness. Now it's been conquered by our underworld forces, but the dark forces could return at any time."

Therefore, you all should first assist in defending the front line. As for us, we will focus on setting up the formations. Once the teleportation array is complete, even if the forces of darkness attack, we can get support from other armies immediately!

"Rest assured, Jade Emperor, we will do our utmost to assist in defending the front lines!"

The text within the tags is:

I've removed the tags themselves and provided only the translated content.

The Seventh Soul Divine Emperor nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, the other emperors all nodded in agreement.

They are certainly very clear about the importance of defense.

If the defense falls into the hands of dark forces, it will be like giving them the ability to invade heaven at any time. Only by keeping the defense within our own ranks can we truly avoid future troubles.

That is to say.

Now that the defense line has been broken, it is as if Zhutian has shifted the battlefield from the celestial realm directly into the Netherworld.

From another perspective, this could also be considered a victory.

Very soon.

All heavenly armies were integrated, and all divine emperor-level experts served as commanders, each allocating army strength to garrison individual ancient cities.

These ancient cities were left behind by the dark forces, and although all the armies have been wiped out by powerful cultivators led by Jade King Immortal Emperor, most of the facilities within the ancient cities are still intact. Many formations and restrictions remain, capable of being transformed into one's own power.

Then, Lord Shen led the Tianzong cultivators to station themselves in the First City. If a large army of dark forces attacks, they must resist with all their might and prevent the dark forces from breaking through the defenses!

In the first city, Shen Huang, the celestial emperor, looked at Shen Changqing with a smile on his lips. Then he ordered:

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing remained silent, and even the elders of Tianzong frowned.

“The First City is the most forward position. The Celestial Emperor entrusted our Heavenly Sect to guard it alone. Is this a bit inappropriate Perhaps other divine clans don't intend to jointly guard this city”

The Overlord God said in a deep voice.

At the moment his words fell, a terrifying aura erupted from Emperor Chen Ling. The formidable pressure of a sixth-rank God Emperor made the face of the Overlord Heavenly Monarch suddenly turn grim.

He had just entered the God Sovereign realm. Even if he were an extreme Daoist God Sovereign, the gap between him and a God Emperor was still significant. Now, facing the pressure from Chen Ling God Emperor, his divine power and blood Qi both became obscure.

"The celestial armies now acknowledge our Divine Emperor as their commander, this is recognized by all races. Is the Heavenly Sect trying to openly defy orders"

The God Emperor Chenling spoke in a low, sinister voice, his killing intent completely undisguised. His eyes never left Shen Changqing, as if he would kill him outright if the latter uttered even half a word that displeased him.

However.

Even when facing the might of the God Emperor, Shen Changqing remained calm and composed, showing no pressure or anger whatsoever.

“Since the Heavenly Spirit God Emperor has spoken, the Tianzong naturally has no problem.”

"That's for the best."

>

A flicker of disappointment crossed the eyes of Emperor Chen Ling, and in the end, he could only utter a final sentence before sweeping his sleeves and leaving.r identity, it doesn't matter."You just need to be clear about one thing, I am the head of Tianzong, and I will never do anything that harms the sect.Let me know if you'd like to translate anything el...
