Chapter 843 843: Are You Mocking Me!?

Kill.

Leave no survivors.

These five simple words simultaneously raised the weapons of the 16 depictions of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

In an instant.

A torrent of blood-red light, tens of thousands of zhang wide, made the stars pale in comparison.

This is momentum.

The momentum accumulated by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals for three full months.

This momentum.

Like a sword.

A sword that can shake the heavens!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Fourth Divine General, Yan Chunfeng, led the charge towards the Purple Star Palace.

In the Immortal Domain, whether they're Holy Lands with legacy spanning tens of eons or smaller factions, all have Mountain Protection Arrays or Mountain-Protecting Prohibitions.

The only difference lies in their strength.

The defensive formations laid down by top-tier Holy Lands like the Purple Star Palace can withstand surprise attacks from Quasi-Emperors.

Even.

They can fend off a single strike from an Emperor Realm cultivator!

But for some reason, the defensive formations of the Purple Star Palace and those of the Blood Gu Hall and the Black Moon Butterfly Clan's Holy Lands simultaneously failed without explanation.

The already chaotic Holy Lands were completely baffled as their Mountain Protection Arrays failed, and it was too late to form any effective defense amid their shock.

From the very beginning.

The battle was almost a one-sided massacre, causing heavy casualties!

But being among the top-tier Holy Lands, their elders and leading figures from the younger generation emerged and forcibly held a defensive line.

"Why does the Heavenly Court aim its attack at my Purple Star Palace!"

The Supreme Elder of the Purple Star Palace, furious and glaring: "If there's no explanation today, the Purple Star Palace and the Heavenly Court shall be irreconcilable!"

"Explanation?"

"Irreconcilable?"

"Since the Purple Star Palace made its move first, don't blame the Heavenly Court for retaliating. Why, is it that you dare not admit to assassinating Heavenly Soldiers?"

Yan Chunfeng swayed gracefully, each step springing forth.

Countless plants took root and sprouted among the stars, beautiful yet deadly.

Vines instantly penetrated the bodies of the elders and disciples of the Purple Star Palace, and colorless, tasteless pollen drifted with the wind.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals showed no symptoms, whereas the Purple Star Palace disciples fell en masse.

Some burst into crazed laughter, some stood dazed in place, while others faced instant death, their souls perishing immediately.

"The pollen is toxic, everyone hold your breath!" an elder female Immortal Venerable from the Purple Star Palace shouted.

"It's useless."

Yan Chunfeng smiled: "Even upon contact, you'd be poisoned."

"Demoness, watch as I slay you!"

The icy female Immortal Venerable of the Purple Star Palace arrived swiftly, wielding an emerald long sword that sliced towards Yan Chunfeng with violet starlight.

But the Purple Star Palace had been the most perilous notch in Baize's layout from the start, and the site's Divine Generals included not only Yan Chunfeng.

But also the Third Divine General Xuanwu, the Fifth Divine General Dong Yanbing, the Seventh Divine General Chang Nian Gu, the Tenth Divine General Shan Baiwan...

In essence.

Apart from Baize and Taotie, the most formidable five Divine Generals were gathered here.

However, each of the other fifteen Holy Lands also had two or three fierce Divine Generals leading, able to effortlessly deploy the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation...

The simplified version.

Baize had simplified the Supreme Emperor's Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, maintaining considerable lethality without the prior horrific consumption of Divine Metal and Spirit Stones.

Baize set the goal of enabling every Heavenly Soldier to employ the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation.

The goal was surpassed.

Every Heavenly Soldier was not only equipped with a simplified version of the first Killing Formation but also a simplified starlight-spinning defensive array, the primary defense Star Formation.

This came from her recent Earth visit to see the matriarch, where she obtained it from the Supreme Emperor's little sister-in-law.

"..."

Seeing the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals surrounding themselves with or hurling out formations, despair filled the faces of the kneeling Holy Masters in the grand hall.

Soldier against soldier, general against general.

But which cultivator of equal boundary can withstand the power of these two formations?

It's entirely a match of magical treasures.

A true and undeniable magical treasure pulverization!

At ease, Baize commented: "Supreme Emperor, are my Heavenly Court soldiers imposing enough? The treasury was emptied to outfit these two formations."

"Ah!"

Xu Lai's eyes gleamed brightly.

If it allows my Heavenly Court warriors to suffer fewer casualties and kill more enemies, what's a treasury compared to that?!

Baize is indeed no ordinary Divine General; her exceptional efforts are staggering. Her grand strategies and extensive layouts make even him feel a bit inadequate.

Wait a minute.

Xu Lai's expression turned skeptical; could the Heavenly Court treasury manufacture so many formations?

By his calculations, it wouldn't even suffice to equip one-tenth of the Heavenly Soldiers.

Baize unhurriedly added: "I also emptied the Green Sect treasury."

Indeed!

Xu Lai waved his hand: "No matter, demolishing sixteen Holy Lands and clearing out their treasuries can pay it back."

"Maybe not enough to cover it."

"Could it be..."

Xu Lai slightly raised his brows, feeling a vague unease.

"After borrowing from Qing Yuan the Domain Master of the Green Sect, one cannot overlook borrowing from Anna the Domain Master as well? If borrowing from them, one should also ask the Qingqiu Clan of the south."

"Moreover, the Dragon Race of the East Sea; I heard Princess was borrowed by the Supreme Emperor, who directly handed over the Dragon Palace behind the old Dragon King's back."

Baize earnestly continued: "There's more..."

"Enough."

Xu Lai's lips twitched: "Just tell me, how much is owed."

"Not much, just repayment for seventy thousand years."

"..."

Xu Lai's face turned dark.

In the Heavenly Court grand hall, the sole standing Hua Xuemei hurriedly handed over a storage jade pendant respectfully:

"Supreme Emperor! The Fengyue Pavilion has profited a lot these years leveraging your reputation, filled with Spirit Stones right here."

Just a storage jade pendant?

Xu Lai casually sent a Divine Sense to probe within, raising his brows.

The storage jade pendant contained nothing but more storage jade pendants.

Boundless Divine Sense encompassed all the jade pendants, inspecting their contents to find yet more jade pendants; probing deeper, still storage jade pendants...

"Are you mocking me!?"

Xu Lai's cold gaze fell upon Hua Xuemei, who trembled lightly, her gaze faltering.

It's over.

All over.

The Supreme Emperor couldn't possibly know the Spirit Stones were fewer?

If only she hadn't embezzled ten percent earlier!

Quivering, Hua Xuemei handed over a second storage jade pendant, trembling: "Supreme Emperor, I deserve death, having heartlessly embezzled ten percent..."

Ten percent?

Xu Lai remained expressionless.

Could today the Fengyue Pavilion and the other sixteen Holy Lands face...

Hmm???

This time Hua Xuemei's provided storage jade pendant wasn't nesting dolls anymore, but it was filled with vibrant Spirit Stones.

The baseline was all Immortal-grade!

The vast majority were one to two colors, with a staggering 120 pieces of ten-color Immortal Grade Spirit Stones!

That's even more than the ones Xu Lai lent to Sikong Jiu.

Xu Lai once again sent his Divine Sense back into the endless nesting storage jade pendants, patiently probing with Divine Sense.

Then.

The Supreme Emperor was completely silent.

He knew the Fengyue Pavilion sold collections of his fictitious romantic tales and profited greatly.

Yet Xu Lai never imagined such extreme commercial success!

A staggering thirty trillion storage rings lay inside, filled with Extreme-grade Spirit Stones second only to Immortal-grade...

Even Xu Lai, mighty as the Supreme Emperor and Lord of the Four Immortal Domains, had never seen so many Spirit Stones.

Meanwhile, Hua Xuemei was extremely nervous.

Why wasn't the Supreme Emperor speaking, did he feel it was insufficient?

Or perhaps he felt only this amount of Spirit Stones isn't a fair exchange for his pure reputation and was somewhat disappointed?

No way.

A quick plea for mercy must be made!
