Chapter 407: Chapter 127 Ti Is Running Out
“Primordial?!”
The towering figure shrouded in the light of billions of stars suddenly let out an angry roar.
This voice seed to co from an endlessly distant past, piercing through ti to the present, spreading towards the future. Almost at the sa mont, every living creature in the entire universe heard this voice.
Countless star systems changed their rules because of it, nurous beings perished in an instant, inanimate objects were imbued with intelligence, and so individuals had their ti reversed, plunging into the past or cast into the future.
All sorts of bizarre scenes unfolded in this universe teeming with countless star systems, galaxies, and worlds beyond number, producing effects profound and far-reaching.
But that was all.
As the power contained within the roar attempted to continue influencing the rules of this universe, the red huge sword that pierced the four-headed and eight-ard divine body suddenly shone brightly.
The sword light, filled with boundless intent to kill and imasurable power, instantly turned the might within the roar into nothingness, unable to affect reality any longer.
At the sa ti, the power of the Heaven Opening Seal finally descended, effortlessly piercing through the band of light where a myriad of stars converged, fiercely striking down upon the majestic four-headed and eight-ard figure.
Boom!
Destructive force of terrifying magnitude swept out, engulfing everything.
The band of light ford by countless stars, as well as the towering figure, was completely enveloped by the Heaven Opening Seal.
This swath of starry sky was directly reduced to chaos!
However powerful the Heaven Opening Seal was, it was, after all, only a “silver” level projection, far from enough to annihilate this majestic existence.
Even so, it caused His already weakening aura to plumt yet further, His suppression even more complete.
He couldn’t even perceive the outside world anymore.
At this mont, Zhou Heng finally led Cheng Jianjian and Qi Rui safely through the star gate.
Once past the purple mist ahead, they would reach the Purple Tenuity Palace.
“Sister Qi, please return to Ta Hua first,” Zhou Heng said without crossing through the purple mist, turning to address Qi Rui instead.
After all, she was not a mber of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer, and according to the rules, she should not enter the Purple Tenuity Palace, which would cause a series of troubles. It was better to let her return to Ta Hua first.
—Although Zhou Heng and his companions had not yet stepped out of the star gate, they had in fact arrived in the void within Da Qi’s territory. Zhou Heng could easily establish a temporary star path for Qi Rui to return.
“No problem,” Qi Rui nodded.
She was aware of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer’s regulations and naturally would not let Zhou Heng and Cheng Jianjian be inconvenienced. She imdiately left through the temporary star path Zhou Heng had created.
At last, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jianjian successfully returned to the Purple Tenuity Palace.
The mont they arrived, the emperors within the observatory, constantly monitoring the star charts, beca excited.
“The Ziwei Master and the Big Dipper have returned!”
…
The news of the return of the Ziwei Master and the Star Officer of the Big Dipper quickly spread throughout the Purple Tenuity Palace.
Many Star Officers and Star Envoys assembled at the star gate to welco the two of them, including high-ranking officers like Gou Chen, The Supre, and Tianyi.
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jianjian, stepping out from the star gate, were quite surprised to see so many gathered for their welco.
Logically, their current status did not warrant such a reception.
“Ziwei Master, Big Dipper, there is no need to be puzzled,” one of the emperors ca forward to explain. “Everyone has a reason for coming to welco you. First, they anticipate your inauguration of new privileges, and also because of the ssage the Big Dipper left earlier. It played a significant role. Now that she has returned, of course, we should properly welco her.”
“The ssage I left earlier?” Cheng Jianjian first looked bewildered, then said solemnly, “Is it about an Evil God?”
“Yes, related to that,” the emperor nodded and spoke, “Ziwei Master, Big Dipper, please follow . Tianyi has been waiting for a while.”
“Tianyi…” Zhou Heng was also surprised.
Tianyi, the leader of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer and a Tao Lord, had always been at the forefront of resisting Evil Gods and demon entities. Usually too busy to attend even the tri-monthly etings, it was unexpected that he would wait specifically for them.
“It seems that quite a bit has happened in Da Qi during the ti I’ve been away,” Zhou Heng thought to himself and nodded, following the emperor along with Cheng Jianjian.
As a high-ranking Star Officer and the leader of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer, Tianyi also had his own palace within the Purple Tenuity Palace, called the “Tianyi” Palace.
…
Tianyi was a Tao Lord, said to have achieved enlightennt thousands of years ago, and a longstanding power.
His character was quite straightforward, usually getting straight to the point when he spoke.
“Ziwei Master, during the ti you and the Big Dipper were away, we’ve had invasions by Evil Gods,” Tianyi began plainly. “And they appeared abruptly, and in no small numbers—six of them.
“Fortunately, the ssage Big Dipper had left in advance put us on guard. This allowed us to prevent being besieged from both sides, effectively avoiding the surprise attacks of those Evil Gods and external demons.”
“Five Evil Gods?” Cheng Jianjian was shocked, “I originally thought there was just one.”
In theory, even the weakest Evil God was a match for a Divine First Rank presence. The simultaneous descent of five, if unopposed, would have been a catastrophe on an enormous scale.
“Which five Evil Gods?” Zhou Heng asked gravely, concern evident as he inquired about the nas of these Evil Gods.
“Led by the Goddess who ensures life’s continuance from Yunxiao Heavenly Palace, and also two known as Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao,” Tianyi spoke gravely. “The other two are called Bi Xia Yuanjun and Guan Zizai Bodhisattva. They are all Evil Gods of high esteem and rank. To resist them, many saints of the First Rank had to use their Unique Divine Weapons.”
“San Xiao, Bi Xia Yuanjun, Guan Zizai Bodhisattva…” Zhou Heng’s mind was roiled with shock at the “roster” of these Evil Gods.
“`
However, with the prior example set by the Innate Doumu Yuanjun paving the way, the shock Zhou Heng felt upon learning that these great beings were also Evil Gods was much less.
“Senior Tianyi, there’s sothing I’ve always been puzzled about. These Evil Gods, where do they co from, and why are they so intent on invading our world?” Zhou Heng decided to voice his doubt.
“Hmm, I share this question,” Cheng Jianjian nodded and said, “It is said that many of these Evil Gods are beings above the Divine First Rank. What does our world have that such beings would covet?”
“Where the Evil Gods co from is also sothing the organization has been investigating,” Tianyi pondered for a mont before speaking. “For now, we can only speculate that they are intricately related to the nurous immortals and gods that were active between heaven and earth during the Ancient Mythological Era, even the aura of their laws and lodies are the sa…
“But after so verification, it has been confird that so of the Evil Gods are indeed not the immortals and gods from the Ancient Era. Alas, too much history was lost during the Dark Era that followed the ancients, making many truths unknowable.”
He couldn’t help sighing at the end.
“Even soone of your level of realm doesn’t know?” Zhou Heng was sowhat disappointed, but he didn’t show it, saying, “By the way, Senior Tianyi, since it was Cang Hua who colluded with the Evil Gods, what beca of him in the end?”
“He has been annihilated by the might of a Divine First Rank Saint,” Tianyi nodded lightly and said, “Azure Dragon and I are only Tao Lords; we couldn’t completely erase a great demon, but a Divine First Rank can.
“This ti, taking the opportunity to resist the Evil Gods, a Divine First Rank finally had the chance to conveniently eliminate him. From now on, Cang Hua will cease to exist, which can be considered as addressing a hidden danger.
“However, there is also bad news; due to the turmoil this ti, the demonic intent between heaven and earth has strengthened, making it easier for demon entities to breed, and consequently, evil creatures and specters are appearing more and more frequently.
“Moreover, these malevolent spirits are generally strong, mostly at the level of notable beings of the Middle Third Rank, and the organization has fewer of Middle Third Rank numbers, so I will need to ask both of you to put in more effort in the future.”
“It is our duty,” Zhou Heng nodded with a smile.
“Senior Tianyi, rest assured,” Cheng Jianjian also nodded his agreent.
“By the way, I have activated a few new privileges, but I don’t know if the Inner Seats of the Five Emperors have ntioned this to you. These new privileges are quite effective for the current situation,” Zhou Heng said. “Can I activate them directly?”
He planned to take the opportunity to seek Tianyi’s approval to activate a few newly gained privileges of the Purple Tenuity Palace.
It would be a great boon for the entire Purple Tenuity Yan Zhou Tian Boundary Officer.
“Of course, you can,” Tianyi had clearly been inford already, nodded slightly and said with a smile, “The decision of the Master of Ziwei is enough; there’s no need to discuss it with .
“Furthermore, there is another matter. In the future, Azure Dragon and I will have less and less ti to descend, and after a while, we plan to promote you to be the new leader, to preside over gatherings and handle the daily affairs of the organization.”
“What?” Zhou Heng was taken aback and exclaid, “But I’ve only been part of the organization for two years, and my cultivation realm is not high, how can I take on the role of leader?”
“It would be best for the lead of the Purple Tenuity Court to be taken by the Ziwei Emperor himself,” Tianyi still insisted, his tone very serious, saying, “We don’t have much ti to wait any longer.
“Your taking the leader’s position can also speed up the mastery of the Purple Tenuity Palace and benefit the nurous organization mbers. It is an all-pros and no-cons decision.”
“Senior Tianyi, it’s not that I’m being modest…” Zhou Heng still felt it was inappropriate.
“Master of Ziwei, please don’t decline any longer. This isn’t just about the position of a leader; it’s also a hope against the Evil Gods and foreign demons,” Tianyi said gravely. “Your master agrees with the thoughts of Azure Dragon and .”
“My… master?” Zhou Heng was first startled, then realized who Tianyi was referring to—Chen Dongxuan, his fifth-generation leader from the Pure Yang Palace, who, along with Yan Shouyi, were both disciples of the sa master and had already achieved the status of Tao Lord.
“`
“During the battle at the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, it was you, Zhou Heng, who mobilized the true power of the Purple Tenuity Palace to repel the attempted descent of the high-ranking evil god, the Eastern Mount Tai Emperor. You also frightened away nurous other evil gods, significantly easing the pressure on us,” said Tianyi with a smile. “We all witnessed that untouchable, unparalleled power, and it gave us hope.”
“I see…” Zhou Heng fell silent briefly before nodding his head and replying, “Alright, I understand now.”
“Then it’s settled,” said Tianyi, seemingly very pleased, and with a smile, he added, “At the gathering in one month, I will explain this to the Azure Dragon, and of course, we will also communicate with so of the high-ranking Star Officers in advance to pave the way for you.”
“Thank you, Lord Tianyi,” Zhou Heng said as he clasped his hands together in a salute.
“There’s no need for such formalities,” Tianyi waved his hands repeatedly and laughed, “My lord Star Officer, here in the Purple Tenuity Palace, your saluting is leading away from the standing of Tianyi.”
“Ah, this…” Zhou Heng was at a loss for words montarily.
“Haha, just joking,” Tianyi said in great spirits, turning to wave his hand as he spoke, “My ti here is nearly up, and I must return.”
As he spoke, his figure began to fade and soon disappeared without a trace. Tianyi returned once again to the frontlines of the battle against the evil gods and outer demons.
“Beidou, I’m quite surprised,” Zhou Heng turned to Cheng Jianjian, saying with a wry smile, “How is it that soone like , a re ordinary mber of the organization, is about to beco the leader of the organization?”
“I’m afraid that the situation on Lord Tianyi’s side is far more critical than we had imagined,” Cheng Jianjian sighed. “That’s why they are looking to continue sothing visible as hope, which is the Purple Tenuity Palace you control.”
“Hmm, I understand,” Zhou Heng said, nodding solemnly, “This ti, with five high-rank evil gods trying to descend together, the impact was probably not minor. Things are likely not as easy as Lord Tianyi described, and the situation is probably not optimistic.”
“I share the sa thought,” Cheng Jianjian nodded lightly. After pondering for a mont, she looked at Zhou Heng and said, “However, you need to be cautious with your control over the permissions of the Purple Tenuity Palace. Such a high-standing treasure might affect one’s mind and judgnt. You must be vigilant.”
“I understand that,” Zhou Heng nodded and then asked, “By the way, what was the deal with the world you visited earlier? How did you travel such a great distance?”
“I indeed have a certain connection with that world,” Cheng Jianjian began to explain…
Just then, hurried footsteps ca from outside the Tianyi Palace, and it was the Fifth Emperor’s Inner Seat who rushed over with a scroll of bamboo task slips, calling out as he walked.
“Lord Star Officer, Beidou, there’s been an ergency!”
…
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jianjian ultimately couldn’t find a mont’s peace.
The Inner Seat of the Fifth Emperor had received news that Pingzhou experienced a massive outbreak of demon entities.
From a ti before, many places within Pingzhou’s territory had already begun to see the ergence of demon entities, initially only at the Lower Third Rank level, but now Grandmaster-level demon entities had begun to appear.
Such level of demon entities had exceeded the normal scope of what martial artists could handle.
Because demon entities naturally possess a very strong ntal shock and contamination, even a great grandmaster of the Absolute Fourth Rank could only yield ground when faced with Fifth Rank demon entities.
Moreover, the spread of demon entities is incredibly aggressive, and if not dealt with swiftly, it could easily lead to widespread casualties and turmoil.
Upon receiving the news, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jianjian rushed over imdiately.
