Chapter 1288: Chapter 433: Confrontation
The Eastern King wasn’t angry; instead, he smiled slightly and retorted, "You indeed have some skills, having become a Creator, but so what? You established two Divine Dynasties, both of which were replaced, like a dog being kicked off the throne. Are you proud of that?"
The smile on Haotian God’s face disappeared, becoming somewhat rigid.
The barks-at-heaven dog whimpered twice, feeling a bit aggrieved.
What’s wrong with being a dog? What does it mean to be like a dog?
It felt that the Eastern King was looking down on it, but the barks-at-heaven dog didn’t dare to act out.
"Stay calm, he’s not of your kind, not even as good as you."
Yang Jian patted the barks-at-heaven dog’s head.
Only then did the barks-at-heaven dog calm down; its owner had insight.
Haotian God turned his gaze, staring at Yang Jian and the barks-at-heaven dog, with killing intent crossing in his eyes.
Clearly, he was somewhat angry, being compared to a dog; no one could endure that.
"Haotian, if you are here for the wedding banquet, you are welcome; if not, leave now."
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s incarnation stood up and said coldly.
At this moment, his true body had already set out, hurrying over here.
The Great Emperor Ziwei was very clear that Haotian’s appearance indicated that this matter couldn’t end easily.
A great battle might erupt today, and he must come to take charge.
As for the Heavenly Court, he had set methods in place, along with experts like clouds; even for those in the Creation Realm, breaking through the Heavenly Court in a short time was no easy task.
"Ziwei, you rebel, dare to speak like this to me? Have you forgotten? You were once my subject."
Haotian God’s face darkened as he reprimanded the Great Emperor Ziwei.
"Heh, I did not usurp power through treason; rather, you abandoned the common people, faked your death to escape, and I ascended in accordance with the will of the people. What’s wrong with that? As the Heavenly Emperor, you should naturally protect the common people, not neglect them for personal motives."
The Great Emperor Ziwei said calmly.
His gaze was like a torch, and at this moment, a great aura of majesty emanated from him, representing the common people.
"Thus, Haotian, you have no qualification to criticize me. You have committed many injustices, all of which are of your own doing, and now you still have the face to appear before the common people of heaven and earth; it’s simply laughable and pathetic."
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s tone was sonorous and forceful, with each word containing firm strength, causing the gathered immortals to be unable to suppress their passionate excitement.
Even the Primordial Gods and Demons, at this moment, held great approval of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Not to mention anything else, Ziwei’s attitude towards them alone garnered much goodwill among the Primordial Gods and Demons.
This was the true meaning of a Heavenly Emperor, one who is selfless for the common people.
Haotian said blandly, "If it weren’t for the Three Pure Ones forcing me and blocking my path to enlightenment, preventing me from stepping into the Creation Realm, I wouldn’t have done so many things."
"Is that really the case?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei sneered coldly.
He stared at Haotian, saying blandly, "Do you think your intentions couldn’t be seen by the Three Pure Ones? It was precisely because your intentions were not righteous that they drove you away, limited your stepping into the Creation Realm. If I were the Three Pure Ones, I would have killed you long ago, leaving no opportunity."
Haotian sneered, gazing at the Vault of Heaven, speaking blandly, "Unfortunately, now the Three Pure Ones have disappeared, not within the Three Realms anymore; you can no longer rely on them."
At these words, everyone was shocked.
Even the Eastern King’s heart sank, his gaze falling on the Great Emperor Ziwei.
The disappearance of the Three Pure Ones, not within the Three Realms.
This was definitely monumental news. Judging by the Great Emperor Ziwei’s demeanor, he clearly knew all of this beforehand.
It’s just that he didn’t tell others, choosing to keep this news hidden.
Unexpectedly, Haotian God knew; for the Three Realms, this was definitely not good news.
With the Three Pure Ones gone, the Heavenly Court had no Creation Realm experts to watch over them, whereas Haotian God’s side had Creation Realm experts.
Adding the three Heavenly Emperors, the balance of power had already tilted towards Haotian God’s side.
"What are those three up to again?"
The Martial King murmured, having some understanding of Lord Taishang and the others. Their choice to leave at this time must have meaning, likely to create difficulties for them.
"Those three are overstepping."
Even the Eastern King couldn’t help but say such words.
As for the Great Emperor Ziwei not telling him this news, the Eastern King understood.
If it were him, he probably wouldn’t tell others either; he’d keep this news hidden.
Emperor Jun’s face was unsightly, unable to help cursing, "Those three old rascals, what trick are they playing now?"
He was somewhat angry, unable to tolerate it.
Haotian God laughed, waving his hand, and a group appeared behind him, precisely Zibaiqing and the others.
They stared at Sun Wukong’s side, eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Behind them were experts like clouds.
Yang Jian directly issued a Token, summoning all the Heavenly Court’s experts. If Haotian God and his party insisted on taking action, the Heavenly Court naturally couldn’t sit idly by, and would have to fight to the end.
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s true body also arrived at this moment; he gathered his incarnation, releasing the Imperial Qi and staring at Haotian God, already prepared for battle at any moment.
The disappearance of the Three Pure Ones, this news, suddenly made their situation become embarrassing.
Both sides were tense, ready to move at any time.
Some Primordial Gods and Demons also chose sides, the Ancestor of Bones standing on the Heavenly Court’s side.
He was quite clear-headed, understanding that should the Heavenly Court be defeated, the implications for them would be severe.
The Three Realms would return to a state of chaos, and even if the Heavenly Court were re-established, having someone like Haotian God in control would mean only oppression, not freedom.
In fact, the current Ziwei Heavenly Court provides maximum freedom to the Immortal Sages.
As long as they don’t randomly cause harm to the common people, the Heavenly Court doesn’t bother them.
As for whether they obey the Heavenly Court’s orders, it’s not important. As long as they don’t cause trouble, the Heavenly Court would even protect them.
To the Ancestor of Bones and his companions, it was definitely a good experience, something never encountered before.
Thus, the Ancestor of Bones stood on the Heavenly Court’s side, simply for the sake of freedom.
Some Primordial Supremes stood on Haotian God’s side. They believed that with Creation Realm experts, the advantage was tremendous, and the Heavenly Court was destined to be defeated.
In this case, it was better to join Haotian God’s side early on.
In doing so, when Haotian God and his party become the rulers of heaven and earth, they wouldn’t persecute them.
These people had wishful calculations, each one more shrewd than the other.
There were also a neutral portion, holding a bit of fantasy, thinking that whoever won wouldn’t target them, allowing them to be idle cultivators.
Regarding their thoughts, the Ancestor of Bones saw through it and was somewhat disdainful.
These fellows really think too much.
As for future experts, all stood on the side of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Future Immortal Gods who had come to Sun Wukong were definitely the most loyal supporters of the Heavenly Court.
