Chapter 421: Chapter 191: Grand General Altar, Divine Monarch Temple, Grass Deity Divine Armor: Breaking Mountains and Felling Temples Begins With Me

Jiangyin, the Earth Dragon Cave.

Beyond the Realm Gate—Central Yellow Heaven, the Divine Monarch Temple!

Central Yellow Heaven is a majestic Celestial Universe suppressed and ruled by the revered Great Divine Ability User, Central Yellow Taiyi.

It is founded upon the Central Yellow Divine Court, encompassing the Divine Dao System. The Ten Thousand Spirits, the Stars of the Celestial Sphere, the jade-green seas, and the lofty heavens—all are governed through enfeoffment as Divine Spirits.

The most powerful among them can turn day to night with the opening and closing of their eyes, and a single glance can usher in the changing of the seasons.

These are the All-Heavenly Saints of the Divine Court.

And upon the terrestrial lands,

there are also separately enfeoffed Divine Temples, founded upon Divine Domains, that have been established across the sacred mountains, sprouting like mushrooms after rain.

Each Divine Temple enshrines an Earthly Divine Being, and with their subordinate Dharma Guardian Generals and Grasshead Divine Soldiers, their combined power is immense—even greater than that of a typical Martial Arts True Sect.

That is why only a True Sect Level existence is capable of suppressing a Realm Gate.

Central Yellow Heaven is ruled through Divine Domains formed from countless Divine General Altars and Divine Monarch Temples of all sizes.

All the lands, small kingdoms, and living beings within its territory are ’shepherded’ by the Divine Monarchs who preside over the Divine Temples.

Years ago, the Three Five Evil Slayer Divine Monarch had already sensed that a Realm Gate connecting to the Great Xuan was about to open a fissure within his domain.

This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

For according to the Divine Dao records of Central Yellow Heaven, the lands of the Great Xuan were vast and boundless, and its population was immense.

To say nothing of the Dukes of a province, who each command a Vassal Town, even a subordinate prefecture possessed a population registry of ten million households, comparable to a ’small kingdom’ formed from several Divine Domains.

If he could annex even a small part of it and plunder its populace,

it would cause the Incense and Candlelight of his Divine Domain to skyrocket, allowing him to sustain several more Dharma Guardian Generals and greatly augment his own power.

Therefore, he had begun scheming long ago, preparing to annex a county the moment the Realm Gate fully opened, thereby minimizing the Heaven and Earth Suppression.

Then, with the speed of a thunderclap that leaves no time to cover one’s ears, he would conquer a Prefecture City and devour the fruits of his victory before the Great Xuan Martial Saints even had time to react.

By the time they belatedly realized what had happened and tried to reclaim their lost territory,

it would be too late. Once the Divine Monarch Temple used the Realm Gate to successfully erode the Qi Mechanism of the Great Xuan with the Qi Mechanism of Central Yellow Heaven, that territory would gradually fall, integrating into the map of Central Yellow Heaven.

Eventually, it would fall completely into Central Yellow Heaven, vanishing from the Great Xuan forever!

This was the ’War of Celestial Universes’!

This was also the very reason why the Great Xuan fought the Outer Dao to the death.

For every time a Realm Gate opened, if it were ignored and allowed to be overrun by Divine Beings,

the territory of the Great Xuan would shrink smaller and smaller, until it was reduced to a single corner of the world.

Legend had it that in the beginning of the Nine Dynasties, nine millennia ago, at the dawn of the Human Immortal Martial Dao,

the territory of the Human Immortal Dynasty of that era was vast, far greater than the eighteen ducal provinces of today. It was said that eight hundred Dukes paid tribute to the Human Court!

In that age, even Human Immortals were not a myth, and the cultivation of the Martial Dao was prosperous and flourishing to the extreme!

At that time, people were born with their qi channels naturally open, living for a hundred years free from disaster and illness.

The path of cultivation was known by the Nine Limits, aiming to shatter the shackles of the human body and ascend to the high heavens, unlike the Power, Qi, and Will Barriers of later generations.

However, with the coming of the millennial mark, the Yang Nine Great Tribulations, and the opening of one Realm Gate after another, thousands of years passed, tribulation by tribulation...

only the current territory remained, forming the ninth Human Immortal Dynasty—the Great Xuan.

At this moment, as the heavens-shaking beat of Divine Drums echoed, two colossal beasts from the Savage Wilderness, each as large as a mountain, raised their backs and bowed before the hall, causing the temple gates to swing open on their own...

A noble statue of a young man stood within, holding a Dharma Sword, draped in a Divine Ribbon, with a third eye on his forehead and a pair of eyebrows like sharp swords!

Beneath the statue, written in Divine Pattern, was the venerable name: [Three Five Evil Slayer Divine Monarch].

And to its left and right stood ten Grand General Altars. On the third altar from the left, the name [Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General] was inscribed!

"Summoning Spirit and Manifesting Saint, you infiltrated that tiny patch of land outside the Realm Gate for so long, yet you only managed to hover around a single county. You even allowed your believers to be utterly annihilated by the power of a mere county."

"Now that the Realm Gate is finally open, I appoint you as the vanguard in Divine Armor. You will lead three hundred Grass Deities under your command and descend in your true form. All the rural Wild Fox Zen and Ghostly Wandering Deities enfeoffed during this period are to be under your command."

"I command you to act with the speed of a thunderclap, before that Titled Martial Saint who suppresses a province and dominates its prefectures can arrive. You are to bring the entire five-hundred-li radius around this Realm Gate into the Incense Domain of my Three-Five Slaying Evil God Temple. Can you do this?"

Within the Divine Monarch Temple,

the Three Five Evil Slayer Divine Monarch spoke faintly as his gaze peered into the distance, using his surveillance techniques to look toward the portal of the Realm Gate.

Hearing this, the Divine General to his lower left, at the third Grand General Altar, who appeared as a phantom image clad in a Golden Armor Helmet and holding a Radiant Long Mace, immediately rose and requested orders:

"Divine Monarch, this humble general has been waiting for this day for a very long time!"

"It is but a mere backwater county..."

"I will lead the three hundred wild Grass Deities of my Grand General Altar, don my Divine Armor, break the county, and drive them all out!"

The Spirit Summoning and Saint Manifesting General!

He was the very culprit who had previously infiltrated the five-hundred-li Anning County, orchestrated the Demon Fiend attack on the city from the Earth Dragon Cave, and caused the entire county to suffer a grievous blow to its vitality.

But that wasn’t how he saw it.

In his eyes, his own plans had been meticulous and well-laid. He had been on the verge of success, about to seize firm control of the county on the eve of the Realm Gate’s opening. He would have taken the lead before the Divine Monarch Temple’s forces stepped through the gate, earning the Divine Monarch’s favor and advancing his own position!
