Chapter 2022: Lord of the Holy Court

Chapter 2022: Chapter 2022: Lord of the Holy Court

From the time Lu Chang’sheng came to this place.

From the ravages of the Immortal Realm’s army until now, only Xuantian God and the severely injured Dragon Elephant Main God have departed prematurely.

The entire process was over even before a cup of tea could cool.

What was originally thought to be a brutal tug-of-war lasting decades has now been cleaned up single-handedly.

Everyone from the Lower Five Realms looked up at the figure in white in the sky with a gaze akin to awe for a divine being.

Yet, for some reason, Lu Chang’sheng only conducted Soul Searching Technique on Cangtian God and Dan Heavenly God’s souls, and did not act against Xuantian God.

Blackie, having regained some strength, scratched his head in confusion as he watched this scene, saying, "This isn’t like master’s style... According to master’s temperament, shouldn’t he deal with everyone from the Immortal Realm and then apply a divine soul restriction on everyone present to conceal his actions?"

Xu Yeming patted Blackie on the shoulder, speaking solemnly, "Senior brother, you know too much, and should be careful not to be silenced by Master."

Blackie shook off Xu Yeming’s hand and blurted out without thinking, "It’s fine, anyway, senior brother will always take the lead."

Ye Qiubai: "..."

Mu Fusheng pointed at Lu Chang’sheng and said, "Don’t you all find it odd? With master’s strength in Soul Searching Technique, it shouldn’t take this long.

Yet now, the soul auras of Cangtian God and Dan Heavenly God have clearly disappeared, why is master still in the Soul Searching Technique state?"

Upon Mu Fusheng’s reminder.

The crowd also noticed this issue.

When Lu Chang’sheng’s soul touched that gray substance, his soul was forcibly dragged into a gray space.

Lu Chang’sheng hadn’t had time to resist.

This force did not bring Lu Chang’sheng any uncomfortable sensation, but naturally and silently folded his soul power into this gray space.

In an instant, Lu Chang’sheng’s body tensed, his soul power concentrated to the utmost, and he looked around.

Nine God Slaying Swords instantly gathered with a thread of soul power!

"I didn’t expect such a character to appear here again."

Upon hearing the voice, he looked over and saw a gray silhouette holding a staff taller than a person by an inch.

Only that staff emanated a golden holy light.

Lu Chang’sheng slightly rotated his fingers, and the nine God Slaying Swords hovered around the gray silhouette.

Muttering inwardly.

Damn, what a careless mistake.

Since the Holy Court is so wary of this world.

They would naturally have a backup plan and wouldn’t just leave a banished Immortal Realm to monitor it.

Seeing the nine God Slaying Swords, the gray silhouette’s staff in hand slightly trembled.

Clang—

The golden holy light instantly bloomed!

It filled the entire space; the originally gray space was instantly filled with golden light!

The God Slaying Swords began to dissolve.

Lu Chang’sheng slightly raised an eyebrow.

This is the first time someone has managed to dissolve his attack.

Even though it was just a formation of God Slaying Sword made with a thread of soul power, it still sounded alarms in Lu Chang’sheng’s heart.

The God Slaying Sword Formation.

Needs an upgrade!

"This sword formation is quite good. If it wasn’t because this place is my divine soul space, this thread of soul might really be erased by your sword formation," the gray silhouette commented, "You must be from Earth, right?"

The other party didn’t seem to have the intention to attack—or perhaps given the current situation, can’t attack for now, after all, being too far away, it’s just an attachment, a thread of divine soul restriction within the Cangtian God and Dan Heavenly God’s souls.

Lu Chang’sheng didn’t lower his guard, responded, "Take a guess?"

"..." After a short silence, the gray silhouette said, "Regardless of where you came from, you should have figured out my identity and the enmity between the Heavenly Court and Holy Court, right?"

With such words, this gray silhouette must naturally be the Lord of the Holy Court.

Lu Chang’sheng with spread hands, said, "Would you believe me if I said no?"

The Saint Master seemed to take a breath, his tone carried a hint of impatience, "I can give you an opportunity."

Lu Chang’sheng interrupted, "Want me to join your Holy Court?"

The Saint Master nodded, "You’re very smart, and very powerful. Although you come from the same world as him, ultimately you’re not a member of the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court has already vanished, you have no reason to bear the responsibility to revive it, why not join the Holy Court? You know how vast the influence of the Holy Court is; the benefits of joining far exceed those of restoring the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chang’sheng nodded as if in agreement, his expression solemn, "Makes sense."

But before the words were finished, Lu Chang’sheng interrupted again, "But I disagree."

The Saint Master’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Lu Chang’sheng continued, "If I join the Holy Court, you surely won’t feel at ease, you’d certainly apply a restriction, right?"

"Of course."

Lu Chang’sheng laughed, but there was a playful undertone in the smile, "I’m used to being free and carefree. Cultivate immortality is all about freedom and eternity, isn’t it? Imposing restrictions contradicts my heart, as they say, never forget the original intention, friends!"

Upon hearing this, the Saint Master nodded, "Then you must die."

"Aren’t there two more words behind that?"

"There are no need to mention necessary things." The Saint Master answered indifferently.

Confident!

But with merits to back that confidence!

The Holy Court controls the entire World Tree, the Saint Master as the leader of the Holy Court represents the zenith of power and strength!

"Be careful, I won’t give you that many chances," the Saint Master stated, "I hope you can withstand the Holy Court’s offensives."

Lu Chang’sheng slightly frowned.

The person is more decisive than he imagined.

Now that negotiations failed, they strike decisively.

Leaving no breathing room for threatening enemies!

With the strength of the Holy Court.

If they act, this world cannot endure!

Besides.

Holy Court is the strongest force in the World Tree system.

With their current strength...

What are the odds of victory?

Even the top figure living in the Primordial Mythology, Dao Ancestor, has fallen!

At this moment.

Lu Chang’sheng felt a surge of warmth in his sea of consciousness.

Aware of this situation, Lu Chang’sheng was startled.

What is in my head?

No time to probe.

A chaotic light burst from Lu Chang’sheng’s brow.

A white-robed, long-bearded elder condensed in front of Lu Chang’sheng.

The elder’s face was kind, yet the Dao runes flowing around him were unmatched by ordinary people.

Even Lu Chang’sheng, sensing these Dao runes, was slightly astonished.

It was strikingly similar to his Primordial Qi amidst the flow of 3,000 Great Dao...

Saint Master looked at the elder, furrowing his brow, "I didn’t expect you still have a backup."

The elder chuckled lightly and straightforwardly said, "How about a deal?"

"What deal?" Saint Master asked.

The elder extended his hand, and a lotus petal appeared in his palm.

It seemed ordinary, without any aura emanating.

Yet, the Saint Master was stunned, and intense golden light burst forth all over!

The golden light was extremely unstable, violently trembling in this space!

The space began to be unable to withstand it, on the verge of collapse!

"The demands aren’t excessive; you and the Holy Court must not act against this world, and I will entrust this item to you."

Saint Master said, "What if I say no?"

The elder laughed, "I will forcibly destroy this petal and take this remnant soul to attack your Holy Court."

The Saint Master’s eyes narrowed slightly, "No one has ever dared to threaten me."

The elder said, "There will always be a first."

They seemed to be at an impasse, but the Saint Master intensely focused on the elder’s palm holding the lotus petal.

After a long time...

The golden light began to fade, the Saint Master nodded, "The Holy Court will not take action against this realm, but having arrived at Outer Heaven is beyond control."

The elder said no more and threw the lotus petal to the Saint Master.

The Saint Master gazed at the lotus petal in his palm, eyes blazing, then began to fade away, glancing at the elder, and finally fixing his gaze on Lu Chang’sheng.

"I’ll be waiting for you in Outer Heaven..."
