Chapter 2184: Wargod Bian Zhuang, Heavenly Mugwort Bell
“To be able to break the shackles and receive the rewards of the Fane of Truth, just as the Lord of the Fane of Truth said, Zhang Ruochen is indeed an extraordinary person.
“He will definitely become a great figure in the future. Guanghan may prosper because of him. Congratulations to Moon Goddess.”
“Not only did he defeat Yan Wushen, but he also ascended Mountain of Truth. Having such an amazing talented cultivator is really enviable. It seems that it won’t be long before a new Deity is born in Guanghan. Congratulations!”
Immediately, many deities congratulated Moon Goddess.
The force they represented did not hold any grudges against Moon Goddess or Zhang Ruochen. No matter what the outcome was, it wouldn’t affect them. They were just watching the show.
The Mandala Goddess stepped into the air and appeared in front of Moon Goddess. “It’s been 100,000 years we last met, and you are still as graceful as ever. Your good eye for talented cultivators is extraordinary as ever. Zhang Ruochen has successfully received the reward from Fane of Truth. He will definitely rise. Guanghan will finally regain its former glory.”
Of course, Moon Goddess knew very well that if Zhang Ruochen had not turned the tide in the Saint War of Merit and made Guanghan top the ranking, Guanghan would have become a Battlefield of Merits and suffered fate far more worse than Kunlun.
Because of Zhang Ruochen’s efforts, Guanghan could enjoy some privileges, including a resourceful region in Celestial Domain and exemption from becoming a Battle of Merits for a period.
Moon Goddess glanced at Mandala Goddess and said, “You have a good eye too.”
A Lotus of Divine Reflection who had embarked on the path of cultivation had limitless potential. Her future achievements might be able to catch up to, or even surpass Mandala Goddess. With her presence, Qianrui would remain peaceful under protection for a very long time.
No matter how powerful a deity was, they would still have to face Yuanhui Tribulations. Even if they could survive ten Yuanhui Tribulations, in the end, there would still be times when they would fall. If they wanted their Macroworlds to be prosperous, they would have to constantly nurture new deities.
“He is indeed amazing. His achievement is unprecedented since ancient times. Unfortunately, I’m afraid he will die before he attains Godhood. After all, he is only a Saint King. If he fails to attain Godhood, he will just remain as small fry,” said Blackheart Demonlord.
At this moment, the ancient voice came from the blood-colored fane building. “Tall poppies likely to draw negative attention. Sometimes, it is not a good thing to be too outstanding.”
All the deities present looked surprised upon hearing these words.
“Blackheart Demonlord and Jiatianxia dare to make such comments. Aren’t they afraid that they would anger Moon Goddess?”
“Moon Goddess has already said that Zhang Ruochen is under her protection. Whoever touches him will have to bear heavy consequences.”
“Now, not only has Moon Goddess completely recovered her strength, her cultivation has improved greatly. Not long ago, the old deity of Sunshine Civilization had lost out to her.”
“Jiatianxia’s power is also unfathomable, so he doesn’t seem afraid of Moon Goddess. As for Blackheart Demonlord, he was backed by Heavenly Realm. Hence, he doesn’t need to hold back his resentment. Judging from Heavenly Realm’s way of doing things, it would be hard for Moon Goddess to protect Zhang Ruochen.”
…
For a moment, many deities were secretly communicating among themselves.
Be it the powerful Moon Goddess or the dominant Heavenly Realm. these two weren’t regular parties they could afford to offend. At this time, they could only choose to be fence-sitters.
Moon Goddess had yet to make a statement, Blackheart Demonlord said again, “It is said that although Zhang Ruochen is only a saint king, he is already the leader of Empress Chi Yao… No, no, I didn’t say it right. Empress, please don’t think too much. After all, it’s all in the past. It doesn’t matter what it is anymore.”
Empress Chi Yao’s eyes were frosty cold. She released boundless divine light. Her cold murderous intent enveloped Blackheart Demonlord.
Blackheart Demonlord had provoked her again and again. Even a deity like her could not bear it.
But Blackheart Demonlord did not seem to feel it at all, he continued, “However, that kid used to be the Empress’ ex. Yet, You took him in and gave him such a high position. you have even made him a Divine Envoy and the fourth most prominent figure of Guanghan. Don’t you afraid of drawing controversy?
“Maybe in a few days, someone will make a remark, saying that he’s the lover you have stolen from Empress Chi Yao.”
“If things turn this way, it’ll affect your reputation greatly. What’s the point?
“Why don’t you return Zhang Ruochen to Empress Chi Yao?
“After all, Empress Chi Yao’s two children need a father. The family of four has been separated for so many years. They should reunite.”
Blackheart Demonlord spoke with confidence without the slightest scruple.
When the deities present heard him, their expressions changed. They all turned their gazes at Moon Goddess and Empress Chi Yao. The atmosphere suddenly became quite tense.
There was displeasure in the eyes of some deities. After all, Moon Goddess was the most beautiful goddess in Celestial Court. Her grace and elegance attracted countless deities. No one had ever dared to blaspheme her in this way.
Did Blackheart Demonlord try to trigger a divine war?
Moon Goddess’ expression was as cold as ice. A bright moon flew out from her body and hung in the sky, releasing an extremely cold aura. It was as if it wanted to freeze the entire Celestial Domain of Truth.
A Chaotic Space-time Lotus appeared in Empress Chi Yao’s palm, illuminating heaven and earth. An invisible, cold killing intent was released without any concealment.
Despite sensing the murderous intent from the two goddesses, Blackheart Demonlord was not afraid at all. After all, this was Celestial Domain of Truth, and there were deities from Heavenly Realm present. He bet Moon Goddess and Empress Chi Yao could not do anything to him.
“Humph!”
A heavy, cold snort resounded through this dimension.
The armored giant formed from the Weak Water who came from Celestial River shot Blackheart Demonlord with a cold glance. “Blackheart, how do you want to die?” said the giant.
“Wargod Bian Zhuang, what do you mean?”
A fearful expression appeared on Blackheart Demonlord’s calm face.
Wargod Bian Zhuang was in charge of guarding Celestial River. He had high authority and unparalleled combat strength. He was one of the most prominent figures in Celestial Court. When he said “Die”, it meant that he was furious.
As the saying goes, “words mean law, and the law must be enforced”. Since Wargod Bian Zhuang had said the word “Die”, he would put his words into action.
Although the Weak Water giant in front of Blackheart Demonlord was only an avatar of Wargod Bian Zhuang, it still put great pressure on him. He did not dare to underestimate it.
“What do I mean? I just want to kill you.”
The avatar of Wargod Bian Zhuang raised his hand. Immediately, Heavenly Mugwort Bell flew out from the sky and landed in his hand.
Heavenly Mugwort Bell was refined from an ancient primodial Macroworld. It was said that the primodial Macroworld was tens of millions of kilometers in size, and it was all made of metal.
Wargod Bian Zhuang refined the entire Macroworld into a bell and named it ‘Heavenly Mugwort’.
Buzzz
At this moment, Heavenly Mugwort Bell shook slightly, emitting an earth-shaking bell sound.
In the next moment, Weak Water stream gathered and condensed into an illusory Celestial River that was tens of thousands of kilometers long. The water flowed majestically and covered the sky above Sea of truth before it swept towards a direction.
The expression of Blackheart Demonlord changed because the illusory Celestial River was actually heading towards him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he retreated rapidly.
However, no matter how fast his speed was, he was unable to escape from the illusory Celestial River. In the blink of an eye, all his escape routes were blocked by the illusory Celestial River.
Not only was his divine power suppressed, the space was compressed, turning into a cage between heaven and earth.
Blackheart Demonlord could only quickly form a demonic mark. He summoned countless Precepts and condensed boundless divine power to form a circular demonic mark. Tens of millions of skulls floated within the demonic mark.
The demonic mark released a monstrous demonic might that seemed capable of shattering the heavens. It collided with the illusory Celestial River.
Bang!
The demon seal trembled and shattered into pieces. It reverted into countless Precepts and billowing demonic Qi. The illusory Celestial River quickly obliterated them.
The avatar of the Bian Zhuang Wargod stood on the illusory Celestial River and took a step forward. He appeared above Blackheart Demonlord and launched a fist strike that was dazzling as a star.
This punch carried an unparalleled power. When it landed in the eyes of Blackheart Demonlord, it seemed to fill the entire world. That kind of magnificent power actually made his heart tremble.
“Wargod Bian Zhuang, you…”
Blackheart Demonlord’s pupils constricted as he hurriedly moved to block.
Faced with the legendary Wargod Bian Zhuang, Blackheart Demonlord did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He immediately unleashed his own divine power without holding back and built the strongest defense.
But what made Blackheart Demonlord feel terrified was that his defense was like a piece of paper in front of Wargod Bian Zhuang’s punch. It was easily broken.
Bang!
The fist strike launched by Wargod Bian Zhuang’s avatar hit Blackheart Demonlord’s chest.
Ptui!
Blackheart Demonlord spat out a large mouthful of divine blood. He was sent flying backward. As a result, he crashed heavily into a barrier formed by Weak Water.
Before Blackheart Demonlord could regain his senses, Wargod Bian Zhuang had already approached him. He raised Heavenly Mugwort Bell and smashed it down on Blackheart Demonlord’s head.
Heavenly Mugwort Bell carried a weight of a metal primodial Macroworld, fell, and hit Blackheart Demonlord’s head.
Blackheart Demonlord’s strength was naturally not weak since he had survived his first Yuanhui Tribulation. However, he was completely powerless against Wargod Bian Zhuang.
Rumble.
The Blackheart Demon Lord’s divine body was broken. His head was split open and divine blood splattered all over the sky.
The divine body that was emitting demonic light rapidly fell from the sky. It smashed into a huge pit that was dozens of kilometers in diameter beside Sea of truth. The entire heaven’s domain of truth was shaking.
The Blackheart Demon Lord’s divine bones were almost shattered. He lay in the pit and found it difficult to get up.
Holding Heavenly Mugwort Bell in his hand, Wargod Bian Zhuang descended from the sky and trampled Blackheart Demonlord under his feet. He was suppressed to the point that he could not move, he roared angrily, “D*mn it, who do you think you are? Is It so great that you survived his first Yuanhui Tribulational assembly?
“How dare you blaspheme Moon Goddess? Are you tired of living? Don’t you know the relationship between Moon Goddess and I?”
“You better not spout nonsense,” Moon Goddess said coldly.
Wargod Bian Zhuang raised his head and smiled at Moon Goddess. “Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. This is not because of him. It’s all my fault for not keeping my mouth shut.”
Moon Goddess turned her eyes away and couldn’t be bothered to look at him.
Wargod Bian Zhuang stomped hard on the back of Blackheart Demonlord, almost penetrating his body. He said, “Blasphemy, don’t you know that it’s a capital offense? Blasphemy against Moon Goddess is a capital offense.”
“You…”
At first, Blackheart Demonlord did not believe that he could not defeat one of Wargod Bian Zhuang’s avatars. He did not think that Wargod Bian Zhuang would dare to kill him in Celestial Court.
However, he had underestimated the importance of Moon Goddess in Wargod Bian Zhuang’s heart.
He had also underestimated Wargod Bian Zhuang’s combat strength.
It was difficult to kill a deity, especially one who had survived a Yuanhui Tribulation. However, Wargod Bian Zhuang was clearly powerful enough to kill deities. Even if he was killed now, Celestial Palace might not be able to do anything to him.
For the first time, Blackheart Demonlord felt that death was not far away from him.
“Knowing that Wargod Bian Zhuang, who is guarding Celestial River, is present, yet he still dares to spout nonsense. What a fool.”
Many of the gods present could not help but have this thought.
It was well-known that Wargod Bian Zhuang adored Moon Goddess. Why didn’t many people dare to provoke Moon Goddess?
It was because Moon Goddess was powerful enough, but it was also because of Wargod Bian Zhuang.
Back then, when the battle of the gods broke out on Moon Goddess Mountain, it caused a huge commotion. In the end, it was Wargod Bian Zhuang who stepped in to quell the commotion.
At that time, Wargod Bian Zhuang clearly sided with Moon Goddess. As for other deities, they did not dare to say anything.
“Wargod Bian Zhuang, don’t you think you have gone too far?”
At this moment, a slightly displeased voice was heard from the blood-colored fane building.
No matter what, Blackheart Demonlord was a deity showing support to Heavenly Realm. Now that he had been beaten to pieces by Wargod Bian Zhuang, it was undoubtedly a loss of face for Heavenly Realm.
Especially now that there were many deities present and a large number of Saint realm cultivators watching, what was the status quo?
At this moment, the Saint realm cultivators gathered at the shore of Sea of truth were all dumbfounded in disbelief.
“What’s going on? Why are deities fighting in Celestial Domain of Truth?”
“That seems to be Blackdemon Realm’s Blackheart Demonlord. There seems to be a deity who wants to kill him. Am I seeing things?”
“Blackheart Demonlord is a powerful deity who has survived a Yuanhui Tribulation, yet he is unable to fight back. What is the background of that deity?”
“Shut up. That is Wargod Bian Zhuang who is guarding Celestial River. Blackheart Demonlord is in big trouble for provoking him. Who knows? He might really…
The words of the lord of the Fane of Truth were only heard by the deities. Therefore, the Saint realm cultivators present did not know what had happened.
However, a deity making a move in Celestial Domain of Truth was undoubtedly a major event.
What was surprising was that Blackheart Demonlord had already been beaten up so badly, yet no one from Fane of Truth intervened.
On Mountain of Truth, the lord of the Fane of Truth cast his gaze toward the shore; a faint smile appeared in his eyes. “After so many years, Bian Zhuang hasn’t changed at all. When it comes to a matter pertaining to Moon Goddess, he is ruthless.”
The lord of the Fane of Truth knew very well about the way Bian Zhuang acted. Other than guarding Celestial River, Moon Goddess’s matter was probably the only thing that he would show concern.
Back then, when Moon Goddess had disappeared in Kunlun, Wargod Bian Zhuang had single-handedly killed his way into the Infernal Court. His unparalleled killing might had dyed a starfield in the Infernal Court red.
This time, Wargod Bian Zhuang had appeared in Celestial Domain of Truth, obviously because he knew that Moon Goddess would come.
He had acted so tyrannically not because he lacked intelligence, but because he only knew how to solve problems by force.
Instead, he knew that because of Zhang Ruochen, both Guanghan and Moon Goddess had been pushed into the limelight. That was why he had to announce to the deities in a tough manner that he would kill anyone who dared to blaspheme or harm Moon Goddess.
Whether the location was Celestial Court or Celestial Domain of Truth, he wouldn’t care. He would kill them with no hesitation.
Wargod Bian Zhuang turned around and looked at the blood-red fane building. He said indifferently, “Too much? You don’t have the right to point fingers at what I want to do. Go and stay where you are. Don’t be an eyesore here.”
With that, Wargod Bian Zhuang stepped on the body of Blackheart Demonlord a few more times. Everyone could clearly hear the sound of the deity’s bones breaking.
“Get over there, kneel down, and apologize to Moon Goddess. Otherwise, I will really kill you.”
Wargod Bian Zhuang kicked out, sending Blackheart Demonlord flying.
Blackheart Demonlord’s hair was disheveled, and he was in a terrible state. He mobilized his divine power to support his broken divine body. Struggling to stand up, he roared, “Bian Zhuang, you are going too far.”
At that moment, Blackheart Demonlord was like a mad demon. He hated it. What happened today would become a stain on his life. Ever since he became a deity, he had never been bullied like this.
“Puny Blackheart, you still dare to shout in front of me.” Bian Zhuang’s eyes were cold. He pointed at Blackheart Demonlord with his finger, and his body emitted terrifying killing intent.
All the deities present had strange expressions on their faces. Perhaps only Wargod Bian Zhuang could be so overpowering and treat deities as little bugs.
Blackheart Demonlord’s mind trembled. He calmed down slightly, and an extremely strong sense of danger arose in his heart.
Buzz.
An extremely powerful divine might erupted from the blood-colored fane building, giving rise to thick blood clouds that covered the sky.
“Wargod Bian Zhuang, everything should be done in moderation. Don’t overdo it.” A warm and angry voice came from the blood-colored fane building.
The avatar of Wargod Bian Zhuang stood on Celestial River formed by Weak Water. With his hands behind his back, he looked disdainfully at the blood-colored fane building, he said domineeringly, “Jiatianxia, do you really think you are somebody? You have been nagging in my ear. If you are not convinced, come and fight with me. If you can defeat my avatar, I will never step out of Celestial River again.”
“If you don’t have the guts, then hide in your blood-colored fane building. I don’t want to lower myself to your level.”
Hearing this, Jiatianxia was instantly enraged. “Bian Zhuang, you’re too arrogant. Do you really think I’m afraid of You?”
Who was he?
He was the founder of Fane of Bloody War, a powerful ancient god who had grasped profound meanings. No one had ever dared to look down on him like this.
Using an avatar to defeat him?
It was simply wishful thinking. Even if the other party was the unrivaled Wargod guarding Celestial River, it was absolutely impossible.
The group of deities looked at each other. They did not expect things would arrive at this point. After being silent for 100,000 years, was Wargod Bian Zhuang going to show his divine might again?
One had to know that 100,000 years ago, he was the leader of the nine major Wargods in Celestial Palace.
How powerful was his cultivation now?
Was he going to use his avatar to suppress the entire world?
