Chapter 506 - 447: Celestial Venerable vs Night Venerable

"Ah... It hurts, it hurts!"

Lin Zixuan, who fell heavily to the ground from mid-air, couldn’t help but let out a wail.

Her defensive Spiritual Artifact had activated upon landing; otherwise, she might have suffered serious injuries.

Despite this, she, a fragile body cultivator, was in tremendous pain.

Of course, more importantly, she was still kneeling on the ground.

Not only did her knees ache terribly, but an extremely complex emotion brewed in her heart.

Fear, dread, humiliation, anger...

The voice from nine heavens seemed to originate from the ancient past, reaching the Profound Yellow.

— "Heaven hears my command, all things bow."

As soon as these words appeared, it wasn’t only Lin Zixuan who naturally fell to her knees.

This command encompassed the entire Profound Yellow Realm!

During her descent, Lin Zixuan noticed three people already kneeling not far away.

She could at least manage not to let her forehead touch the ground, but these low realm cultivators were utterly unable to raise their heads under this immensely terrifying pressure!

In fact, this oppressive force targeted not only humans.

As stated, it’s all things bow!

In this forest, many birds crashed heavily to the ground, meeting their end instantly.

Wild beasts, too, lay prostrate, unable to lift their heads, consumed by endless fear.

It was as if this ancient voice only needed to give a command, and everything beneath the sky must submit!

Lin Zixuan desperately mobilized her Spiritual Power, but to no avail.

The Power of Origin passed onto her by Ming Xuanji also seemed to awaken, beginning to resist.

Yet, it only allowed her to shift from being "utterly suppressed" to being able to "struggle slightly."

Until... that cluster of black light suddenly flickered!

The next moment, Lin Zixuan felt the terrifying pressure surrounding her dissipate completely.

She stood up directly, no longer affected.

A hint of confusion flashed through the girl’s eyes.

"What on earth is this thing?"

"No, I must hurry and send it to Chu Huaixu!"

....

....

Western Continent, Moon Country, Imperial Capital.

After this command from nine heavens appeared, almost all the citizens and cultivators in the Imperial Capital immediately knelt to the ground.

Even a large batch of Great Cultivators in the Cultivation Hall were no exception.

Those cultivators with the Power of Origin could barely resist this pressure, but they couldn’t move an inch, only managing not to kneel.

Only those at the Ninth Realm experienced less impact.

National Guardian Xiahou Yue, standing in the Imperial Palace, relying on his Ninth Realm Cultivation and the Moon Country’s fortune within him, felt only a sudden weight on his shoulders, like the abrupt pressure of Mount Tai.

He rushed over immediately, checking the Moon Emperor’s situation.

But before entering the Imperial Study, Xiahou Yue stopped in his tracks.

Though he appeared brutish, his mind was rather meticulous.

He naturally understood that an emperor wouldn’t want others to see him in a disgraceful state.

Thus, he first attempted to activate the National Protection Array within the Imperial Capital, enhancing its operation.

Once the array was strengthened, a significant portion of the pressure was blocked outside.

Ordinary citizens remained kneeling, but some well-cultivated cultivators began to stand.

Having done this, Xiahou Yue gently knocked on the Imperial Study’s door and spoke, "Your Majesty."

"Come in, I’m fine."

He pushed open the door to see the Moon Emperor seated steadily, appearing unchanged.

Only the Emperor’s typically meticulously groomed hair had a few strands loose.

....

....

East Continent, Sword Sect.

The moment nine beams of light appeared, scores of Sword Cultivators capable of flying rushed out of the mountain gate, ready to descend the mountain to slay enemies.

The next instant, the terrible pressure swept over them.

One Sword Cultivator after another fell from mid-air, narrowly escaping disaster thanks to defensive Spirit Artifacts.

Those who practice swordsmanship are always the proudest.

Even while being utterly suppressed, and regardless of how futile the struggle, these Sword Cultivators continued to fiercely resist.

Situ Cheng, with half black and half white hair, stumbled first, relying on his Spirit Sword for support, then forcibly stood up straight, using his Sword Domain to withstand the pressure.

The other Sword Sect Elders mostly did the same.

However, those without the Power of Origin were even weaker, more embarrassed.

These Sword Cultivators who could barely stand raised their heads, striving to glance upwards.

They saw a stream of light sweeping across the sky.

The scholarly middle-aged figure flew to Situ Cheng’s side first, supporting his junior brother with a single hand.

He gazed at the sky, his eyes growing more solemn.

"Is this the Immortal Venerable in Divinity Transformation?" the Sword Venerable couldn’t help but say.

....

....

East Continent, Daoist Sect.

After the voice came from nine heavens, the overwhelming pressure was completely blocked by the Daoist Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.

Even Moon Country’s National Protection Array, under the blessing of national fortune, could only block seventy to eighty percent.

But the Mountain Protection Array left by the Dao Ancestor allowed no pressure to penetrate.

However, the Daoist disciples outside the Mountain Protection Array weren’t so fortunate.

Li Chunsong, the gambling dog, directly stumbled, nearly falling flat on his face.

Now in the Eighth Realm, he struggled desperately not to kneel.

And similarly in the Eighth Realm, Jiang Zhi appeared completely unaffected.

He approached Li Chunsong, and with an upward lift of his hand, the gambling dog felt much of the pressure on his body dissipate.

"Junior Martial Uncle is as formidable as ever," he couldn’t help but think.

Not far away, Xu Ziqing, now in the Sixth Realm, used the terrifying Power of the Flesh to prop a huge Sword Box on the ground.

His whole body trembled, veins popped on his skin.

Even with the help of Power of Origin, at this moment, he was exceptionally strained.

His trembling left hand reached for the Evil Sword inside the Sword Box.

If he could grasp the Bronze Sword, the pressure around him would be completely swallowed, and he’d be unaffected.

"No need, it’s unnecessary."

Chu Huaixu’s voice rang in his ears.

Seeing this young man in a black-gold robe seemed untroubled.

He lightly waved his left hand, and the surrounding pressure dissipated completely.

Not just Xu Ziqing, but within a ten-mile radius, the pressure was entirely blocked.

Chu Huaixu frowned, looked up at the sky.

"Is this the Celestial Venerable?"

Heaven hears my command, all things bow?

He began to slowly close his eyes, activating the Black Jade Lotus Platform’s power.

As time passed, the Black Jade Lotus Platform had fully merged with him.

Additionally, after partly integrating the Kunlun Heavenly Dao with the Profound Yellow Celestial Dao, he wasn’t sure how much Fruit Position power he could wield now.

This moment was his first full exertion of its power.

Unlike the Celestial Venerable who uttered "Heaven hears my command, all things bow."

This Night Venerable was evidently more crude.

His response was but a simple word.

— "Scram!"

The next moment, the sky above began to spread darkness around.

The night seemed like black ink dripping onto white xuan paper, slowly spreading outward.

Where the night covered, all pressure dissipated.

Until...

— "Dark Night Sky!"
