Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

"Why aren't you staying in Heaven? What are you doing here in the Three Realms?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lü Dongbin was startled and then turned his head to look.

His face instantly froze.

Pigsy and the White Dragon?
Why did these pilgrims arrive so early?!

Thinking to himself, Lü Dongbin suddenly looked up and gazed behind Zhu Bajie and the other man.

His face grew increasingly pale!

Sure enough, a Buddhist Arhat was following behind!
This is bad!
Lü Dongbin's face was gloomy, while on the other side, the Arhat holding the alms bowl was also taken aback when he saw Lü Dongbin.

This person is... Lu Dongbin, the Heavenly Sword Immortal? One of the Eight Immortals?
Why is he here?!
Instantly, the face of the alms bowl-holding Arhat turned ashen!

Is this person here to interfere with my Buddhist journey to the West?
Is he out of his mind?!

Without thinking much, the alms bowl-holding Arhat took out a Buddhist decree and crushed it!

A streak of light suddenly shot into the sky, rushing towards the distant Buddhist sacred mountain!

"!!!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Lü Dongbin immediately stepped forward, his long sword was drawn with a clang, and his body was shimmering with light, dazzling and radiant.

In the blink of an eye, Lü Dongbin's sword arrived with him!

With a single, elegant sword strike, he cleaved the flowing Buddhist script light in two!
"Wait a moment, Arhat, I can explain all this..." Lü Dongbin stopped the struggling light in mid-air with one hand, turned his head anxiously and said to the Arhat holding the alms bowl.

However, before Lü Dongbin could finish speaking, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the void!

Holy and dazzling, it split the heavens and earth, appearing directly from behind the alms bowl-holding Arhat, and with a "boom," it struck him, causing him to cough up blood!

"Arhat!" Lü Dongbin cried out anxiously.

But the next second, another streak of light shot up, scorching through the area around him amidst endless roars!

boom!
The Buddhist script emitted light, breaking through Lü Dongbin's restraints, and suddenly flashed away towards Mount Ling!
The formation we set up earlier worked!
Pigsy and the White Dragon exchanged a glance and arrived at their pre-arranged positions almost simultaneously, activating the formation!
In the void, crimson clouds billowed, and two more beams of light, one sacred and one dazzling, pierced through their bodies!

"Awooo!! Help!"

"Ah!! An ambush!"

The White Dragon and Pigsy let out exaggerated screams as their bodies were pierced, and they trembled in pain!

But in order to make the performance more realistic, they used their magic to tear the wound even more, causing blood to gush out!

At the same time, he continued to secretly manipulate the formation, piercing through the heavily injured and unconscious Arhat holding a bowl in the sky above!
In an instant!
Blood splattered everywhere!

Three blood-stained figures fell from the sky!

Meanwhile, in the distance, Lü Dongbin witnessed all of this and was utterly dumbfounded!
What... what happened?
A moment later, Lü Dongbin's face turned ashen!

Because on the distant sacred mountain, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky, shaking the nine directions!
That was the fury of the Western Buddhist sect!

This is terrible!!

Meanwhile, on the Liusha River, the White Dragon and Pigsy teamed up to put on a show, tricking the Arhat who carried the alms bowl.

High above the distant Heavenly Court.

Today marks the tenth day since the Heavenly Court's discussions, which also happens to be the day the Four Dragon Kings are to be executed.

The entire Heavenly Court was bustling with activity, as numerous heavenly soldiers and generals were setting up altars and arranging ritual sites outside the South Heavenly Gate.

They must slay the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas before the Three Realms and in front of all living beings to demonstrate the inviolable majesty of the Heavenly Court.

This can also serve as a face-saving excuse for my previous losses.

Among this group of people.

The three—the Celestial Hound, the Jade Rabbit, and the White Deer—had already sneaked past the heavenly soldiers and generals and infiltrated the Heavenly Court.

They advanced with extreme caution, setting up countless formations near the Heavenly Court.

They proceeded cautiously, pausing frequently, as they approached the location of the prison.

Extremely cautious, for fear of being discovered by others.

After several hours, the three of them finally slowly made their way to the vicinity of the Heavenly Prison.

After looking around and seeing that no one was there.

The jade rabbit carefully took out a formation.

"Old Dragon King, it's about time to make our move."

at the same time.

Inside the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the East Sea.

The hunched old man slowly stood up.

He went to the deepest part of the East Sea Dragon Palace and found an old and dilapidated box at the bottom of the treasure vault.

The box smelled musty and rotten, as if it hadn't been opened for who knows how many years, and was covered with mottled rust and marks.

squeak...

It's as if it carries the scent of time and years, turning the pages of faded memories.

The moment it was opened, it was as if an ancient war song was being played and a river of blood was surging!
The old dragon king gently took out a piece of clothing from the box.

It was a black and red robe, inlaid with armor, stained with unknown blood, extremely heavy in the hand, ancient and cumbersome.

The old Dragon King calmly put on the battle robe, then took out a gray-black broken horn from the bottom of the box.

Take a deep breath.

For the first time, the old Dragon King, who had been hunched over for countless years, stood up straight.

It was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed.

Strange phenomena are occurring.

The entire river of time seemed to stand still.

The water stopped flowing, and the swaying seaweed, the climbing crabs, and the schools of fish in the water all seemed to freeze in that instant.

Enormous fissures appeared near the East Sea Dragon Palace, their depths unfathomable.

hum!
With a resounding cry, an ancient longsword appeared in the old Dragon King's hand, engraved with dragon patterns and exuding divine power.

It is the Great Dragon Blade in the treasure pavilion of the dojo, which comes from the realm of the Tomb of the Gods and is the divine weapon of the Dragon Emperor!
It was the magic weapon that Lin Nan bestowed upon the old Dragon King!

"cut!"

With a soft shout from the old Dragon King, the Great Dragon Blade slashed horizontally, and the chains binding the old Dragon King snapped.

The Heavenly Court's suppression of him shattered instantly!
The old Dragon King, his blood-red robes fluttering and his thick white hair framing his face, slowly raised his head.

then,

Take one step forward.

next moment.

The Old Dragon King then appeared before the vast Southern Heavenly Gate high above the nine heavens.

He was dressed in ancient robes and carried a long sword on his back.

The Old Dragon King stood with his hands behind his back in front of the South Heavenly Gate.

His robes fluttered in the wind, displaying unparalleled heroism, and he looked down upon all the gods and immortals in the four directions. His cold shout resounded throughout the heavens.

"You Heavenly Court!"

"Who dares to slay my Ten Ferocious Dragon Clan?!"

At the pinnacle of the Three Realms, light surged and boiled.

The magnificent South Heavenly Gate is carved with landscape paintings and intricate patterns, its surface gleaming with iridescent light.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, there is a vast and continuous altar.

This altar was ancient and vast, stretching out for tens of millions of feet, a dark mass that directly covered the sky.

Numerous altars are interconnected, their imposing presence filling the sky, stretching across the clouds, ancient and solemn.

Squads of celestial soldiers and generals, clad in armor and with solemn expressions, stood in all directions, their eyes sharp. Before them, many bare-chested warriors, holding drums, stood atop celestial clouds.

Before this continuous stretch of altars, there is also a massive bronze guillotine.

This bronze guillotine is ancient and imposing, almost as large as the South Heavenly Gate, and is engraved with countless killing patterns.

It stood at the very center of the altar, gleaming with a blood-red luster.

The blade is thick and sharp, as if simply standing here could split the sky in two!
Beside the guillotine, strange phenomena appeared, as if a sea of ​​blood was churning, with crimson waves crashing against the sky. Listening closely, one could almost feel the entire world trembling and shaking.

Especially the aura emanating from that guillotine blade—it was icy and chilling!
Even though the heavenly soldiers and generals were still far away, they felt a chill run down their spines!
It seemed as if even their very souls were trembling!

Before this guillotine, thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, holding incense sticks and wearing divine crowns and masks, were conducting a sacrificial ceremony on the altar.

Drums and music resounded, a gentle breeze blew, auspicious clouds swirled, and tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals appeared.

A grand execution by the Heavenly Court is slowly unfolding.

"The time is coming."

A colorless wind rustled the hem of a robe, and at the very back of the altar, near the South Heavenly Gate, sat a figure clad in an immortal's robe, sitting calmly.

He was dressed in a flowing robe shrouded in mist and clouds, with a handsome face. He sat upright behind the desk, surrounded by ethereal light, his eyes bright and piercing.

He is Li Jing.

He was also the judge in charge of executing the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas.

Li Jing's long-standing aversion to the dragon race can be traced back to Chentang Pass in the ancient era of the Investiture of the Gods.

After all, it involved slaying the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

Moreover, this execution was to demonstrate the power of the Heavenly Court, prepared in response to the previous defeat in the East Sea, and was intended for the Three Realms to see, so the arrangements were quite grand.

In addition, in order to carry out Venus's plan, the Heavenly Court has recently sent too many gods to the Underworld to interfere with the cycle of reincarnation.

The Heavenly Court is currently experiencing an unusual shortage of manpower.

Therefore, Li Jing is the most suitable person to step forward and execute the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

A gentle breeze blew as Li Jing sat high in the sky, smiling as he asked, "Nezha, how much dragon clan fortune do you think my Heavenly Court can reap after slaying the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas?"

Nezha, holding a long sword, stood to Li Jing's left, while the Giant Spirit God stood to his right.

They were the executioners and officers responsible for this execution.

"I don't know."

Nezha answered calmly. To Li Jing, Nezha was merely a father and son in name only.

Even after countless millennia, it remains unchanged; it was true then, and it is true now.

However, Nezha also harbored considerable dislike for the dragon race.

In other words, he was unwilling to go to the underworld to harm the human world, and it just so happened that the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas came to his door to be executed. Otherwise, Nezha would never have gotten so close to Li Jing.

"I'm sure we'll reap quite a harvest. After all, these four dragons, though weaker, are still dragon kings."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the Giant Spirit God smiled and spoke up to ease the tension.

"Indeed."

"Dragons have existed since ancient times and were the main characters in the ancient era."

"Times change, years pass, and the world transforms. Although the dragon race has declined, much of its fortune still remains."

The Giant Spirit God nodded, "Slaying the Four Seas Dragon Kings this time should relieve the urgent crisis of my Xuanmen Heavenly Court."

"Perhaps we can continue to exterminate the dragon clan and harvest some of their fortune in the future."

"Alas, if it weren't for the matter of the mastermind behind this, my Heavenly Court wouldn't be in such a state..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing sneered, his eyes turning icy: "The mastermind behind it all? So what if they're strong? They're still hiding and can't possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with my Heavenly Court."

"There is a cause and effect related to the mastermind behind this incident in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty."

"When the mastermind's hiding place is discovered, that will be the moment of his demise!"

Li Jing spoke slowly, his body surging with killing intent and radiating divine light.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the very front of the altar!
A cold shout resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Court!
"You Heavenly Court!"

"Who dares to slay my Ten Ferocious Dragon Clan?!"

The sound waves rolled and spread in all directions!

The energy spread across the entire altar, mixed with magical fluctuations, directly distorting large areas of air and causing countless heavenly soldiers and generals to tremble in fear!
Without a doubt, everyone turned to look at the figure.

It was an old man, dressed in a blood-red battle robe, with flowing white hair, carrying an ancient longsword on his back.

Around him, streaks of light swirled and endless crimson clouds shone, and the ancient dragon laws surged and permeated the area as Wang Yang did!
Behind him, an ancient phantom appeared.

It appeared to be an ancient dragon, with two horns on its head and a flickering candle between its brows, lying horizontally in the vast sky.

Motionless, yet filled with murderous intent!
Upon seeing this figure, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals all narrowed their eyes.

Above, Li Jing, Nezha, and the Giant Spirit God also looked at the figure with some surprise.

"You are... Zhuliu?"

"How will you be here?"

"What's that sound? Have dragons come knocking on our door?"

In the Heavenly Court behind, there were also a few scattered deities who were not sent to the Underworld.

Upon hearing the sound, they curiously rose into the air and looked in this direction.

I was completely baffled when I saw the result!

This is... a candle willow?
That old dragon king?
How come he is here?

To be honest, many celestial beings considered various possibilities before executing the four sea dragon kings: Would executing the four sea dragon kings provoke the dragon clan's revenge? Would there be any other trouble?
They considered many possibilities, but they never expected that this old scoundrel would actually show up.

You know, even when they dug up the dragon clan's ancestral tomb a few days ago, this old coward didn't do anything!
And now it's here?
Has he come to terms with it?

"Hmm? The chains binding him have broken."

Just then, a celestial being from Heaven frowned slightly.

How is this going?

When the old King Gou was sealed, a formation made of many magical treasures was used, and those chains were indestructible.

Based on his own strength alone, he shouldn't be able to break free.

But how did he break the chains?
Li Jing frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

"Zhu Liu, so what if you come? The Taiyi Golden Immortal realm is impressive, but it depends on who you're compared to."

"If placed among the dragon race, the Taiyi Golden Immortal is indeed unique, but in front of my Heavenly Court, he is not worth mentioning."

Li Jing sat atop the Nine Heavens Altar, his gaze icy, and slowly transmitted his voice.

"Today is the day of execution in our Heavenly Court. Considering your previous good behavior, you shall leave at once."

"otherwise."

"He must be executed without mercy!"

At the same time, Nezha, standing next to Li Jing, also had a cold expression. He held the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand, his lotus armor clanged, and golden lotuses bloomed between his eyes!
Almost simultaneously, all the heavenly soldiers and generals outside the South Heavenly Gate stepped forward and shouted angrily!

Each of the heavenly soldiers and generals is nothing special on its own.

But if all the heavenly soldiers and generals were to combine their auras, it would be a force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!
'boom! ! ’

A terrifying pressure erupted, as if a mountain had descended!

The immense pressure crashed down, causing the old Dragon King's body to creak and his long white hair to suddenly flutter, and the air around him to twist and deform!

"Candle Willow!"

Didn't you hear me?

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"

High above the nine heavens, in the distant Southern Heavenly Gate, within the celestial realm, a rebuke echoed throughout the nine heavens! (End of Chapter)
