930 Heaven Devouring (1/2)
”I am the ruler of the mountains, the rivers, and forests, Lin Shoucheng…”
Lin Shoucheng was standing on top of the altar, his True Dragon Qi growing rapidly.
As he spoke, it seemed like the heavens and the earth understood him, releasing a huge amount of energy at once.
This was the exclusive privilege that the True Dragon and Son of Heaven enjoyed.
The five-colored cloud turned into a magic domain that was nearly enough to change complexions of the Golden Immortals.
Of course, this was only during the time of his worship.
Lin Shoucheng's True Dragon Qi can only suppress Heaven Immortals. However, a human emperor's Dao is gathering people. The unique power of a Son of Heaven reaches the peak during his ascension. With the agglomeration of the power of heaven, earth, and man, the Heavenly Dao will draw its curtains, while Golden Immortals have to stand down. From a certain perspective, at the pinnacle of his power, he could even make a Zenith Heaven look sideways!
A Zenith Heaven, like a Demon God, possessed the power of a Great Dao.
However, how could the power of a Great Dao compare to the Heavenly Dao?
The Son of Heaven was Celestial Thearch's son, and the Celestial Thearch was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. No matter how much weaker he was, he was still as strong as a tenth of the Heavenly Dao.
This was more than enough to make a Demon God look sideways.
Of course, this power was something only the founder of the unified realm, the Son of Heaven, possessed during his first worship to the heavens. This power was also something that the Lord of the Void had been coveting.
Since it was the Heavenly Dao's power, it was even more useful for breaking through the seals and restrictions.
Lin Shoucheng was wearing his imperial attire. All of a sudden, he took a deep breath, and many thoughts came to mind.
He was in the heat of the moment now. The pain and confusion from his youth suddenly resurfaced. He could not help shouting, ”In the past, the Celestial Thearch was tyrannical, killing the young and the weak. This was an atrocity! The old rule must end! A new dynasty must be established! Today, I ascend the throne and worship the Heavens so that the Heavens will abolish the Celestial Thearch and turn to Excellency Mount Mang. The Heavens know all. I beseech Your decree!”
Kaboom!
Heaven and earth suddenly changed. Clouds covered the sky, and purple lightning danced.
The human realm's sovereign worshipped the heavens to change people's belief in the Celestial Thearch. This was an important matter that changed his foundations and was a huge blow to the Heavenly Court.
Of course, the Heavenly Court had fallen long ago. However, the Celestial Thearch was still around!
In fact, this worship was specially done to target the former Celestial Thearch!
Seeing this, Fang Yuan rubbed his chin and smiled. The Celestial Thearch went crazy and betrayed the Spiritual Realm. He is destined to be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao. Once this emperor goes, the only one left is Excellency Mount Mang. Other than him, there isn't any other anyone else who can take on the responsibility of being the Celestial Thearch! I saw this when I was on the Mental Demon Battlefield.
Since the Celestial Thearch had lost favor, his decline would come sooner or later. Lin Shoucheng was merely speeding the process up. It was not very dangerous.
Even though the worship done for the ascension of the human realm's emperor was a minor matter, it was the final piece that broke the balance of the power struggle in the Mental Demon Battlefield!
”Pass down my commands!” Lin Shoucheng stood up and ordered his officials. ”From now on, all rituals to the fallen Heavenly Court will stop, and Excellency Mount Mang's title will change to Celestial Thearch Mount Mang!”
”At Your Imperial Majesty's command!”
With a thousand Heaven Immortals behind their backs, and three hundred imperial guards ready at any time. Other than those stubborn officials that had died long ago, the remaining civil and military officials knelt.
The heavens and the earth trembled as though a considerable change had taken place.
…
Outside the Heavenly Court, Mental Demon Battlefield.
Metal chains hung loose in the air. It reflected the remnants of a fierce battle while sealing the entire Mental Demon Battlefield.
Inside, numerous bundles of light with the power of a Great Dao collided, whittling and consuming one another.
Kaboom!
A strong vibration arrived, causing most metal chains to shatter.
In the middle of the chains, there was a large black bundle of light. Suddenly, there was a loud grunt.
Most of the black Dao Marks shattered. It caused the other three Great Dao light bundles to expand as their magical powers strengthened instantaneously.
”Damn! The Celestial Thearch's authority and power have suddenly been stripped. Even the foundations of the Divine Dao has weakened!”
Supremacy Carefree and Supremacy Numinous Treasure's voices rang out. ”Fellow Daoist Mount Mang is appointed the new Celestial Thearch!”
”I can't believe that a Son of Heaven has emerged in the human realm. He even worshiped me…”
Excellency Mount Mang was also shocked.
Even though the former Celestial Thearch had lost favor—and he had taken the opportunity to seize the blessing of heaven and earth—to take his position, it required the agglomeration of heaven, earth, and man before it would be truly successful.
Currently, Excellency Mount Mang had yet to obtain all the pieces he required.
Otherwise, he would not be fighting over the position of top combat strength in the Spiritual Realm. The Dark Thearch and Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment would not have been able to seal him for such a long time either. On top of that, his Great Dao was weakening.
In the stalemate between the seven bundles of light, the strongest one was the demonic energy that pulled three bundles of light. ”As I expected, the human realm's situation has changed. Doing this will only force the Celestial Thearch to descend further into the darkness. My plan is falling into place!”
”Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment!” Excellency Mount Mang retorted fearlessly, ”The human realm has already begun to acknowledge us. I am now in favor with the Heavenly Dao. Your plans will not succeed.”
”Keke…” Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment cackled. ”You're nothing more than a small Celestial Thearch now. Just how I like it! The Divine Dao's Celestial Thearch originates from the realm. You must have obtained a pseudo Heavenly Dao by now, right? As long as I devour you, I will be one step closer to the Netherheaven realm!”
”Have your demonic techniques reached this far?”
The two Zenith Heavens were astonished.
