Chapter 657 Alarming the Main Character
"The Great Celestial Venerable was summoned to fight the demons?"

Li Tianwang's head was buzzing, and he couldn't react for a moment.

He was in charge of the Heavenly Army Camp, commanding 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. He had all kinds of troops and was proficient in everything from setting up camps and deploying troops to leading them into battle.

The Heavenly Army Camp has celestial soldiers and generals specifically responsible for setting up the Star-Commanding Platform, constructing altars to summon star lords, and laying out the celestial constellation formation. The Heavenly Army Camp is adept at this, and every stronghold and every strategic pass is designed and laid out in this way.

Once the formation is activated, it can summon the power of the stars outside the pass to form countless stars and set up an array. Furthermore, the avatars of star lords will descend to guard the pass. It is very useful.

However, Li Tianwang has never summoned the Four Emperors, Five Elders, Nine Gods, Three Officials, or Six Departments.

First, they cannot; second, they dare not.

He has fifty Heavenly Court giants above him who are more powerful than him. He can summon twenty-seven of them at once. Although they are clones, they are still no small matter!
These twenty-seven deities are all in charge of the Heavenly Palace, which is equivalent to being in charge of a small Heavenly Court!

Their heavenly palace is under the command of countless gods who serve them.

Their avatars are scattered throughout the Yin and Yang realms, and their presence can also be found in countless worlds within the Xuanhuang Sea.

Offend any of them and you'll be in for a world of trouble!

Who is so audacious as to steal the divine power of these twenty-seven main gods?
"What's even more outrageous is that they even dared to summon the Great Celestial Venerable's avatar!"

Li Tianwang shuddered. If the twenty-seven deities were the chief gods, then the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, was the supreme deity, the master of all gods. To command his avatars to fight the demons—how audacious!
"Who exactly did this?"

He hesitated. As a subject, how could he sit idly by and watch his lord be used as a expendable tool to fight the demons?

If the Jade Emperor's avatar were captured or killed, wouldn't that make the Heavenly Court lose all face?

But intervening would also be inappropriate.

If Li Tianwang sends troops to rescue Chen Shi and the others and brings them here, how can we eliminate them and complete the plan of the Heavenly God?

Did you kill them yourself?
Or should we assign them other dangerous missions to their deaths?

Killing them personally wouldn't work either. Among these six is ​​a troublemaker named Chen Shi, whose background is too powerful. Even if Li Tianwang dares to take action against him, he won't be sentenced to death, but he won't be able to explain it to Houtu Huangdiqi and Dongwanggong.

"Moreover, I've heard that this brat has become a disciple of Jin'ao Island. If he dies by my hand, then Thunder God and Doumu Yuanjun will likely fight me to the death. Their lineage has many members in the Heavenly Court; if they were to attack me..."

Assigning them dangerous missions would probably not work either.

Resettling troops at Siyuan Mountain Pass is already extremely dangerous. These guys can summon beings like the Great Celestial Venerable at Siyuan Mountain Pass, and they probably can too in other places.

How many troops are still stationed at Siyuan Pass?

Li Tianwang summoned the scout and said, "Order them to retreat immediately!"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers who were relieved of their posts have already withdrawn and are now resting in the army."

Li Tianwang was slightly taken aback: "There really are only six people at Siyuan Mountain Pass?"

He pondered for a moment, then summoned a divine general and said, "Let the soldiers who have been relieved take a boat back to the Heavenly Court to rest. They fought fiercely at Siyuan Pass and suffered many casualties. Let them go back and rest."

The divine general hesitated and said, "Heavenly King, we don't have many troops left. Should we conscript more Heavenly Soldiers?"

Li Tianwang shook his head: "If these six cannot become Heavenly Gods, this will be the last batch of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. The Heavenly Court will face a situation where there is no one left to use. We must be careful with their use and not be as extravagant as before."

In the past, there were too many immortals who ascended to heaven, so he never thought that heavenly soldiers and generals were precious. Now that the heavenly treasures have been destroyed and no one is ascending to heaven, heavenly soldiers and generals have become precious.

The divine general accepted the order and departed.

Li Tianwang gazed at Siyuan Pass from afar and said in a deep voice, "Men! Order the five guard posts of Jiazi, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, and Chen to mobilize all their forces and cut off Siyuan Pass from the east. While Siyuan Pass is holding back the demon forces, cut off their retreat."

At his command, five armies sprang into action, rushing to the enemy's rear.

Li Tianwang hesitated for a moment, then quietly left the central command tent and headed towards Siyuan Mountain Pass, whispering, "I want to see how long you six can hold out..."

He arrived at a place more than a hundred miles outside Siyuan Pass and stopped to look around.

At Siyuan Mountain Pass, Chen Shi maintained the Small Heavenly Tribulation Array Divine Power, continuously transferring the star power from the Primordial Star Domain. Starlight surged into the pass like a tide, activating the forms of the twenty-eight Star Platforms.

One by one, divine avatars, led by the rulers of the various celestial palaces, guarded this not-so-large pass and fought against the onrushing demon soldiers.

One after another, divine avatars died at the hands of demon soldiers, but new talismans would fly in and, with the infusion of star power, rapidly grow into new divine avatars to replenish the ranks.

The most eye-catching were the twenty-eight celestial palace masters, their divine power surging and boundless. Each possessed extraordinary abilities. Houtu Niangniang's reincarnation technique and the Xuanhuang Sword could reverse yin and yang, and defy life and death. Doumu Yuanjun, with three heads and eight arms, wielded the sun, moon, bow and arrow, golden spear, golden bell, shield, and sword, and dressed in a sky-blue robe; her combat skills were unparalleled!

Then the Thunder God, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation, rode the thunder and guarded the sky. Wherever he passed, lightning burst forth, destroying the physical body, and thunder entered the brain, shattering the primordial spirit.

The Four Emperors, Five Elders, Nine Emperors, Three Officials, and Six Ministries were all deities, either Great Emperors or Heavenly Venerables. Their actions were truly dazzling, leaving Niu Jingjing, Long Yuanling, and the others dazzled.

"You guard my surroundings and watch out for any who slip through the net," Chen Shi's voice came.

The five men were alarmed and quickly braced themselves to protect Chen Shi, who was standing on the Tongxing Platform.

As long as Chen Shi is still alive and has the power to maintain things, there is hope that Siyuan Pass can be defended.

If Chen Shi fails, then all of them will die without a burial place!
"But can we handle this heretic?" They were unsure.

At this moment, Chen Shi's Wuji Daoist Temple was set up, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Shi's Limitless Dao Field could suppress the heretical forces of the demon warriors. Without the threat of these heretics, they were no less formidable than the demon warriors themselves. Reassured, Chen Shi focused on activating the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Tribulation Array.

Under his control, the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation Array and the Universal Ritual passed down by Chen Yindu and Creation Xiaowu were perfectly combined, turning Siyuan Pass into a huge killing formation. Any enemy who stepped into it would be annihilated!

The Lesser Heavenly Tribulation Array mobilizes the stellar power of the Primordial Starfield to evolve into the Heavenly Stars, while the Universal Grand Ritual unifies the 3,600 main deities of the Heavenly Court and presents these deities in the form of talismans.

Six thousand years ago, Xiniu Xinzhou severed ties with the Ming Dynasty and experienced more than six thousand years of decline. In the present era, a lawless madman like Chen Yindu was born. He studied deities and talismans, and presented deities such as the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Earth Goddess in the form of talismans, and integrated them into the Universal Ritual.

Chen Shi used the elixir from Fuluo Village to unlock supreme wisdom, merging the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation Array of the Great Wilderness Enlightenment Collection with the Universal Grand Ritual, and then combined it with the Star Unification Platform to evolve a completely new fighting style.

The divine avatars he summoned were not very strong, and the strongest of them did not exceed his strength. However, when combined with the formation of the Universal Ritual, it was equivalent to the twenty-seven heavenly palaces jointly guarding the Heavenly Court, forming a nearly invincible defense!
"Unfortunately, it's not the complete Luotian Grand Ritual; there are only twenty-eight heavenly palaces."

Chen Shi felt a pang of regret. The twenty-eight heavenly palaces were only nearly invincible, but they still had many flaws and could not be considered perfect.

To achieve perfection, the main deity of the Earthly Deity lineage must also be added. However, the stellar power of the Primordial Starfield conflicts with the Earthly Deeds of the Underworld, making it difficult to form a unified formation.

The demon soldiers surged in, and countless were killed or wounded in a short time. No one could break through this tribulation formation and enter the pass.

Seeing this, Xiahou Feng and the others relaxed and thought to themselves, "Fellow Daoist Chen of the Heavenly Army Camp is indeed powerful. Perhaps we can really survive this time."

Just as they were thinking this, suddenly vines swirled in the sky, wrapped around a large demon skeleton, and attacked from above!

Before the great demon skeleton could get close, countless vines descended from the sky and entangled the body of Thunder God.

Thunderous energy erupted from the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation, burning the vines to ashes, just as the great demon closed in.

The demonic skeleton was wrapped in vines, and it was unclear whether the vines controlled the demonic skeleton or the demonic skeleton controlled the vines. It was incredibly agile and its movements were unlike those of a human. Its bones and joints could be disassembled and reassembled, allowing it to fight the Thunder God in close combat.

The Thunder God's clone contained only a wisp of consciousness, which was caught off guard and killed by the demonic bone, exploding with a bang.

Seeing this, Li Tianwang, who was secretly watching from afar, couldn't help but shudder.

"It's begun! The avatar of a Heavenly Court giant is about to be eliminated!"

His face was ashen, and he muttered under his breath, "Whatever you do, don't let it be found out that I'm involved... The avatar of the Celestial Venerable Puhua is no problem, as long as it's not one of the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, or the Nine Heavens, and most importantly, as long as it's not the Great Celestial Venerable, it's all fine..."

The demon bone emitted a sharp howl, and many demon soldiers took the opportunity to rush in, about to break into the pass.

Chen Shi stood on the Star-Unifying Platform, circulating the Primordial Limitless Innate Skill. A Thunder Ancestor Talisman flew over, and while it was still in mid-air, star power surged into it. The talisman transformed from a two-dimensional object into a three-dimensional one, once again forming an avatar of the Thunder God. With a wave of his hand, ten thousand thunderbolts erupted, blasting the great demon skeleton away!
Chen Shi used the Thunder Ancestor Talisman to reenact the Thunder God's Universal Transformation, summoning the God's avatar to descend and replenish the formation.

However, other vines in the air were also writhing, and one after another, the skeletons of great demons were controlled by the vines and rushed towards Siyuan Pass.

Chen Shi maintained the formation, but the twenty-eight heavenly palaces were attacked almost simultaneously, and deities kept dying, forcing him to mobilize his cultivation to replenish the formation and summon the deity avatars.

Li Tianwang, who was watching the battle from a distance, turned pale. In a short time, the Heavenly Official Emperor was killed, the Earthly Official Emperor was torn in two, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor had his skull split open, and the Southern Red Emperor was smashed to pieces!
Li Tianwang's body trembled slightly. He turned and walked back, muttering, "Out of sight, out of mind. Anyway, it wasn't me. Even if all the Great Emperors and Heavenly Venerables come knocking on my door, they'll still behead Chen Shi..."

Even so, he couldn't help but look back.

He also saw the Qinghua Emperor having his heart and lungs ripped out, the Dongyuan Emperor being skinned and dismembered, and the Heavenly Emperor in imminent danger.

Meanwhile, Chen Shi remained on the Star-Unifying Platform, moving his feet steadily without any panic. He methodically used his immortal essence to create talismans. When one of the Great Emperor's or Heavenly Venerable's avatars died, he would create another avatar to fill the vacancy.

"This kid is quite calm. But you can't hold on like this for long," Li Tianwang thought to himself.

At this moment, he saw several large demon skeletons attacking the Jade Emperor. Li Tianwang's calves trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Great Heavenly Venerable, you must be strong! Don't die at the hands of the demons... It's all over!"

The Jade Emperor's avatar was killed by those several demon skeletons!

Li Tianwang, distraught and trembling, walked back, muttering, "Nothing will happen, nothing will happen. The Great Celestial Venerable has countless avatars; even if one is missing, he won't notice... Something will definitely happen! Who dares to touch the Great Celestial Venerable's avatars? If one of his avatars is missing, he will definitely notice!"

He looked back and saw Chen Shi use a talisman to summon an avatar of the Jade Emperor.

"It's over! This place has been locked down by the Great Celestial Venerable."

Li Tianwang's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. He suddenly quickened his pace and hurried back, thinking to himself, "Now, I'm afraid these twenty-eight beings all know what happened here... Before, I was the only one who made things difficult for others, but now this brat Chen Shi has made things difficult for me twenty-eight times! Right, I know nothing about this. I have no knowledge of anything that happened here!"

The Antarctic Heavenly Palace, the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace.

The Antarctic Emperor of Longevity sits serenely in his palace, surrounded by countless deities. The Emperor sits here, contemplating the mysteries of fortune and misfortune, rarely moving, and is renowned for his unwavering virtue.

At this moment, the emperor frowned slightly, slowly opened his narrow eyelids, and revealed a look of confusion.

A goddess serving the emperor nearby, seeing this, asked, "What troubles Your Majesty?"

"I have countless clones, each existing in countless worlds. Sometimes I am revered by the people for my divine manifestations, and my incense burns brightly. Other times, there are madmen who destroy my clones. However, there is a strange thing in these infinite worlds. My clones are awakened in the same place and die twice in a row."

The Emperor grew increasingly surprised, saying, "This is the third time. This matter cannot be ignored... wait, someone is awakening my power again!"

At the same time, in the Purple Light Garden of the Gouchen Heavenly Palace, the Gouchen Heavenly Emperor also gradually frowned and said in a low voice, "Strange, strange. The wars and conflicts in the world are complicated and complex, and they are my source of blessings. How come this war has caused my clones to die one after another? I must take a closer look."

In the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, the Ziwei Emperor rose from his throne and laughed, "I'd like to see who is so audacious as to ruin my clone!"

In the Heavenly Court, in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor slowly opened his eyes.

"Li Tianwang, look what you've done!"
