Chapter 1 Facing the Divine Lord

Facing the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord, the Fengshen Gate Master felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time. They were clearly in the same realm, but the gap between him and the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord was immeasurable.

Between the two, it seemed as if a divine chasm separated them, and even if he took another step forward, he would not be able to cross it.

"You, what kind of force are you, and why are you targeting my Fengshen Gate?!" the Fengshen Gate Master shouted.

The Vermillion Bird Divine Lord looked at him indifferently, and after a long time, he said: "I am the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord of the Divine Court. The Divine Court will unify the Divine Realm. Since you choose to resist, naturally you can only be given death!"

"Divine Court?!"

The Fengshen Gate Master was shocked. In the past thousand years, he had indeed heard of the name of the Divine Court. It was said that this force had appeared in many continents, but the strength of the people who appeared was not strong.

Most of them were just Lower Gods, and Middle Gods and Upper Gods were very rare. He thought it was just a scattered force, a force that couldn't be put on the table.

Who would have thought that the other party would be so terrifying!

Just one Great Perfection God came, and he suppressed so many Great Perfection Gods of the Fengshen Gate, and they didn't even have the power to fight back. This was simply unimaginable.

Moreover, just because they refused to surrender, the Divine Court wanted to destroy them. This was too domineering.

"If we surrender, can you spare our lives?"

The Fengshen Gate Master gritted his teeth and said. It wasn't that he wanted to surrender, but the gap was too great.

The top combat power was completely suppressed by the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord, and the ordinary disciples below were simply incomparable to the Divine Court in terms of numbers.

Even the Holy Sons of their Fengshen Gate were also suppressed by the Divine Court's Heavenly Generals and could not resist at all.

The most critical thing was that his master, the Vacuum Lord, was also blocked by the Supreme God of the Divine Court, which meant that they had lost even their last backer.

If they didn't surrender, what awaited them was annihilation!

The Vermillion Bird Divine Lord did not speak, but was waiting for something.

...

In the southern part of the Divine Realm, in a void, two figures stood opposite each other. One of them was a Daoist, his aura was vast, like an absolute vacuum, accommodating everything.

The other person looked like a middle-aged man, wearing a robe of five *qi* and a purple-gold crown, as if an emperor had arrived.

"Daoist friend, how is your consideration of the previous proposal?"

The middle-aged emperor was the Taixuan Heavenly Lord, now named the Evergreen Great Emperor of the Divine Court.

As for the person opposite him, he was the Vacuum Lord, an extremely ancient Supreme God. Although he was not born in the Primordial Era, he also had great prestige in the current Divine Realm.

Moreover, he had no sect or faction, and liked to travel in the void of the Divine Realm, occasionally descending to the Divine Realm to play in the mortal world, looking for some proud children of heaven and guiding them in their cultivation.

The Fengshen Gate Master had once received his guidance in the past, and later joined his sect and became one of his disciples.

This time, he received a message from the Fengshen Gate Master that a powerful enemy had invaded the Fengshen Gate. He originally wanted to help his disciple, but on the way, he encountered the Taixuan Heavenly Lord.

He could see that the Taixuan Heavenly Lord had not become a Supreme God for long, but his divine power was unpredictable. His divine index was probably not lower than him, and may even be stronger.

Of course, he didn't know that this was the difference in godhood.

With Jiang Xuan's help, the Taixuan Heavenly Lord condensed the King of Godhood. His future was not comparable to the Vacuum Lord. He even had a glimmer of hope to reach the level of the Main God, and even the Zhuxian King and other supreme powerhouses.

Even if he had just become a Supreme God, his strength was not weaker than the Vacuum Lord, who had attained enlightenment for a long time.

"Divine Court Heavenly Emperor, is he really as powerful as you said?"

The Vacuum Lord asked.

When the Taixuan Heavenly Lord appeared, he thought that the other party was the leader of the force that invaded the Fengshen Gate, but after truly understanding, he realized that the other party was just a Great Emperor in the Divine Court.

The truly supreme being was the Divine Court Heavenly Emperor. In the Taixuan Heavenly Lord's description, that was an invincible existence.

"That is natural." The Taixuan Heavenly Lord smiled and said, "His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has infinite divine power. Even the masters of ancient civilizations, the King of Divine Elephants, and other peerless existences are difficult to match. Perhaps, only that supreme master of the past could match His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

The Vacuum Lord's pupils shrank slightly. The names mentioned by the Taixuan Heavenly Lord were all powerful people who shocked the past and present, especially the Supreme Master, who once founded the ancient heaven and unified the Divine Realm, and was the most powerful person in the Divine Realm from ancient times to the present.

But the Taixuan Heavenly Lord said that the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Court also had such strength!

"Could it be that the myth of the ancient heaven is about to come again?"

Unifying the Divine Realm was a legend. In this world, even super forces such as the Eternal Life Divine Dynasty and the Yaoguang Holy Land, which had Supreme Gods sitting in them, did not dare to hope for it.

Since the existence of the Divine Realm, only the Supreme Master had done this.

"That's right, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor intends to unify the Divine Realm, but he will not use the methods of the Supreme Master. In His Majesty's opinion, those methods are too despicable and not what a true powerhouse would do."

The Taixuan Heavenly Lord said, the Supreme Master controlled the gods with the marks of the gods, so that all the gods could not get rid of his control, and naturally could not rebel.

However, in the vast Divine Realm, there were always a few enchanting talents born, such as the Zhuxian King, the Supreme True Demon, etc., who broke the Supreme Master's rule and even triggered the subsequent catastrophe.

But knowing was one thing, the Taixuan Heavenly Lord dared to criticize the Supreme Master so carelessly, even the Vacuum Lord couldn't help but marvel. After all, whether that kind of existence was really dead was still unknown, and if he wasn't dead, with the strength of that kind of existence, even just calling his title, it was very likely that the other party would know.

However, the Taixuan Heavenly Lord didn't care.

"It seems that the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Court has given him a lot of confidence." The Vacuum Lord thought, and at the same time used his will to sense the battlefield between the Divine Court and the Fengshen Gate, which was an infinite distance away.

However, at this time, the battle had already shown a one-sided trend. The Great Perfection Gods of the Fengshen Gate were not the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord's match at all. She was clearly not a Supreme God, but he couldn't see through her.

But he also knew that the Fengshen Gate's defeat was set. If no one stopped it, the Fengshen Gate might be removed from the Divine Realm today.

"Daoist friend, if I agree to join the Divine Court, what can I get?" The Vacuum Lord looked at the Taixuan Heavenly Lord and asked. If the Divine Court Master was really that strong, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to join his command.

Although he liked to play in the mortal world and had never joined or created any forces, if there were really enough benefits, he could consider it.

As for the Fengshen Gate, that was just a sect of one of his ordinary disciples. If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed. He wouldn't even take a second look. This time he came, it was just because of that bit of karma between master and disciple, so he would take action.

But to ask him to fight a Supreme God to the death for the Fengshen Gate, he would never do that.

"There are many benefits." The Taixuan Heavenly Lord smiled, and at the same time waved his hand, a wonderful energy cluster appeared in his hand. In this energy cluster, the Vacuum Lord seemed to see a divine path, supreme and supreme, as if it had been deduced to the extreme.

"This is the first benefit, called the System, which has infinite changes. It was created by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. It contains the supreme divine path, which has been deduced to the level of the Main God by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. If you join the Divine Court, you should also be able to obtain the Vacuum Divine Path System."

The Taixuan Heavenly Lord's words made the Vacuum Lord's eyes light up. For the Supreme God, all resources were false. Only strength was the key.

Just like him, although he was known as the Vacuum Lord, this was actually a title given to him by others. If it was in the ancient heaven era, if he dared to call himself the Vacuum Lord, he would definitely be beheaded.

Because the title of "Lord" only belonged to powerhouses at the Main God level, such as the Lord of Civilization, the Lord of Light, etc., and the Vacuum Lord was just a Supreme God, so naturally he was not worthy of this title.

However, now that the ancient heaven had long been destroyed, the Vacuum Lord was a respectful title given to him by others, so naturally no one dared to say anything.

And now, the Taixuan Heavenly Lord told him that as long as he joined the Divine Court, the Heavenly Emperor would bestow a System, which contained a Main God-level divine path that could guide his cultivation.

If it was true, then he had no reason to refuse.

"Can the Heavenly Emperor really deduce the Vacuum Divine Path to the Main God level?" The Vacuum Lord asked, this was his last bit of doubt.

According to common sense, everyone only had one core divine path. Even if they cultivated other divine paths, it was difficult to reach the level of the core divine path.

But the Taixuan Heavenly Lord said that the Heavenly Emperor would bestow him the Vacuum Divine Path System, which was indeed difficult for him to believe.

After all, if the Heavenly Emperor could even deduce other divine paths to the Main God level, then what level would his own strength reach?

Hearing this, the Taixuan Heavenly Lord just smiled lightly and said, "Naturally, I will not deceive you. I have followed His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor for countless years, and I am most clear about his methods. Not to mention the Vacuum Divine Path, within the current Divine Realm, the number of divine paths that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has not reached the Main God level can probably be counted on the fingers!"

"How is this possible?!"

The Vacuum Lord could not believe it.

But he didn't know that in these long years, Jiang Xuan had reached the level of supreme ultimate Dao in the thousands, and moreover, as his understanding of the Dao continued to deepen, his understanding of various Dao became faster and faster!

Although he was not like ordinary Supremes who gave birth to ten thousand Daos from one Dao, and instantly understood the Supreme Dao, he was still constantly comprehending, and even his understanding of various Supreme-level ultimate Daos was getting deeper and deeper, and had already surpassed ordinary Supreme-level, reaching the level comparable to the Main God level of this world, and also the level of controllers of other worlds.

And his comprehensive strength could already be said to be half-step Wu Wu level. As long as he completely understood all Daos, he would be able to completely transcend and reach the true Wu Wu level.

Moreover, this was not far away for him. Now his speed of comprehending ten thousand Daos was getting faster and faster, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could completely comprehend ten thousand Daos.

"Whether you believe it or not is all up to you. If you don't believe it, even if I have ten thousand words, it will be difficult to change your mind." The Taixuan Heavenly Lord said, appearing very calm, waiting for the Vacuum Lord's answer.

After a long time, the Vacuum Lord made a decision: "I can join the Divine Court, but the prerequisite is that there must be the Vacuum Divine Path System you mentioned. Otherwise, I will never join."

"Naturally." The Taixuan Heavenly Lord smiled and said, "The opportunities and good fortune given by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor are far more than just a System. I believe you will not regret the decision you made today."

At the same time, he looked into the distance and said, "Since Daoist friend has already agreed to join the Divine Court, then my Divine Court will give the Fengshen Gate another chance, but they will need to accept the Divine Court's supervision for the time being."

As he spoke, a divine thought flew out.

Beyond infinite distances, the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord also received this divine thought, and then she looked at the Fengshen Gate Master and said, "The Vacuum Lord has agreed to join the Divine Court. The Evergreen Great Emperor has ordered to give the Fengshen Gate another chance. Are you willing to surrender?"

"Surrender! My Fengshen Gate is willing to surrender!"

The Fengshen Gate Master didn't hesitate at all and said quickly. If he didn't surrender, the Fengshen Gate would be killed clean!

"Stop the war!"

Hearing the Fengshen Gate Master's answer, the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord gave an order, and the heavenly soldiers who were fighting retreated one after another, no longer entangled in battle. The Fengshen Gate people also stopped under the order of the Fengshen Gate Master.

"Lei Qianxing!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Hearing the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord's voice, Lei Qianxing flew over quickly.

"You take the Fengshen Gate Master into the Divine Court and await His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's disposal." The Vermillion Bird Divine Lord said, she had to sit here, after all, the Fengshen Gate still had some Great Perfection Gods. If she wasn't here, the other heavenly soldiers and generals would not be able to suppress them.

"Yes!"

Lei Qianxing received the order, activated his token, and formed a door in the void. Then he said to the Fengshen Gate Master, "Follow me!"

The Fengshen Gate Master didn't dare to think too much and followed Lei Qianxing into the light door together.

In the next moment, time and space reversed. In the blink of an eye, he and Lei Qianxing appeared in front of a heavenly gate.

"Heavenly King!"

Before he could think too much, he saw Lei Qianxing bowing respectfully to a majestic divine general. This was a Great Perfection God, and the feeling he gave the Fengshen Gate Master was no less than that of the previous Vermillion Bird Divine Lord!

"Mm." This divine general held a divine sword in his hand and nodded at Lei Qianxing, saying, "The Vermillion Bird Divine Lord has already reported the matter. Take him to the hall and await disposal."

"Yes!" Lei Qianxing said, then led the Fengshen Gate Master from the heavenly gate into the interior of the Divine Court.

Immediately, he saw an indescribable scene. Gods stood in great numbers. There were many areas filled with the aura of gods. There were as many as tens of thousands in some areas, and as few as tens of thousands in others.

In total, there were probably hundreds of thousands!

Even if they were all Lower Gods, this force was enough to move the entire Divine Realm.

And in some palaces, there were even many Middle Gods, Upper Gods, and even the auras of Perfected Gods, vast and mighty. If they all appeared on the previous battlefield, he had no doubt that the Fengshen Gate would be annihilated in an instant.

"Lei... Lei Xiaoyou..." The Fengshen Gate Master remembered Lei Qianxing's name and wanted to ask some questions at this time.

He had already seen through the matter of surrender. Even his master, the Vacuum Lord, had agreed to join the Divine Court, so what resistance could he have?

It was better to find out some information as soon as possible so that he could make the right choice later.

"What is it?"

Lei Qianxing said, but his attitude was not very good.

Since the Fengshen Gate Master had surrendered, he was a prisoner, so naturally there was no need to be polite to him. Moreover, this was still in the Divine Court, so he naturally didn't need to be afraid of a Fengshen Gate Master.

"That divine woman who fought with me earlier... are there many powerhouses of that level in the Divine Court?" The Fengshen Gate Master didn't care about Lei Qianxing's attitude and asked.

"There are naturally not many at the level of the Divine Lord."

Lei Qianxing said, but before the Fengshen Gate Master could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say again: "The Vermillion Bird Divine Lord is one of the Four Spirits Divine Lords. In addition, there are the Four Great Heavenly Kings and the Nine Luminaries Star Officers. These are the strongest existences among the fourth-rank officials of the Divine Court. As for the slightly weaker Great Perfection Gods, they serve as the Twenty-Eight Constellations or other fourth-rank positions."

"You call that not many?"

The Fengshen Gate Master clicked his tongue in his heart. He asked himself that he was already hard to find an opponent at the Great Perfection God level, but he was defeated by the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord in one move. And according to Lei Qianxing's meaning, there were at least seventeen people at the level of the Vermillion Bird Divine Lord!

Seventeen existences invincible under the Supreme God, and you tell me that's not many?!

Moreover, there were also the slightly weaker Twenty-Eight Constellations, etc. How much weaker was this slightly weaker? Could it be that they were also stronger than him, the peak of the Great Perfection God?
