Chapter 1446: Heavenly Fiend Slashes the Celestial Gang

Di Qing's face was filled with nothing but terror as he looked up at the indescribably massive hand pressing down on the Celestial Dao weapons, descending upon Tianfang City.

In Tianfang City, the Sun Keepers, Moon Keepers, Star Sovereigns, and even the ordinary citizens, women, and children within the city, could only stare blankly upwards at the palm that blotted out the sky. As the hand drew closer, the scene it created was like the advent of doomsday. Tianfang City's ground continuously cracked, houses crumbled, and countless lives were crushed into dust under the immense pressure. This indestructible divine city had already begun to crack under this immense power, like shattered porcelain.

This power was incomparably formidable. Although it exuded a terrifying might, giving a sense of irresistible power as if the Great Dao itself were its force, it was also incredibly delicate and precise, like a gentle spring rain. It accurately pinpointed the weaknesses of each Celestial Dao weapon, suppressing them one by one.

When did the Celestial Heavens come to understand the Celestial Dao so thoroughly? The Celestial Heavens had never perfectly mapped Tian Gong's physical body or perfectly translated the Celestial Dao into numerical and ritualistic runes. Not even Zu Shenwang, Tian Gong's son, could master all the mysteries of the Celestial Dao! Di Qing was terrified. Who was this Honored Heaven Exalt? Even if Honored Heaven Exalt possessed the most profound magic power in the world, it would be impossible for him to accurately grasp the weaknesses of the Celestial Dao weapons and easily defeat all forty-nine of them!

"Di Qing! Take them and go—" Someone shouted to him, "Protect these sprouts of Xuandu, send them away!"

Di Qing looked bewilderedly at the speaker. He saw two to three hundred Sun Keepers' primeval spirits emerge, protecting many of Tianfang City's citizens and resisting the immense pressure from above.

"What are you staring blankly for?" The Sun Keepers coughed up blood from the pressure, shouting, "Send them away!"

The terrified citizens of Tianfang City looked at him with eyes full of both fear and expectation. Di Qing opened his mouth but uttered no sound. Where could they go? With Honored Heaven Exalt making his move, where could they possibly flee?

*Boom—*

A Sun Keeper's primeval spirit exploded, their body engulfed in raging flames, quickly burning to ash. More Sun Keepers coughed up blood, their primeval spirits burning, yet they stubbornly resisted the pressure.

Di Qing finally snapped back to reality. He plunged down from above, rushing towards the Sun Keepers who were struggling to hold on.

"Do you feel the baleful qi?" As Di Qing rushed there, he suddenly saw Tian Shu and the four masked figures pass by him. These five ignored him, instead soaring upwards with a peculiar footwork to meet the descending massive hand. They were not led by Tian Shu, the Celestial King of Mingdu. Instead, they were led by the masked young man who had previously contradicted Di Qing. A unique domain had already formed around the young man, with the vast Ancestral Court bursting forth, the Four Great Poles appearing, and layer upon layer of Celestial Palaces forming a Celestial Heaven!

As Di Qing passed them, he saw majestic mountains and rivers rising from the Ancestral Court, Xuandu ascending, Youdu sinking, and the Primordial Tree in the Primordial Realm steadily rising, supporting all the myriad heavens and worlds—a truly dazzling sight. It was also the young man who spoke. Honored Heaven Exalt's attack had caused countless deaths in Xuandu, and the baleful qi erupting from their deaths was incredibly potent.

The planets around Tianfang City were shattered. The grievances of the people who died on those planets merged with Xuandu's Celestial Dao, forming a Celestial Dao that was not among the forty-nine.

Celestial Baleful Qi!

Di Qing turned back and looked at the masked young man. He saw that the young man remained calm and composed, forming a strange formation with Tian Shu and the other four, saying in a deep voice, "Celestial Baleful Qi is also a Celestial Dao, the fiftieth type. Gathering baleful qi into a blade and absorbing the baleful qi from Tianfang City can make our blade arts comparable to the thirty-first heaven. Combined with the power the Celestial Dao bestows upon us, our blade arts can reach the level of the thirty-second or even thirty-third heaven."

Di Qing saw torrents of baleful qi roaring towards them. Under the cover of Honored Heaven Exalt's descending massive hand, streaks of baleful qi, like blood-red dragons, frantically burrowed into the bodies of the five individuals.

"Under the cover of Honored Heaven Exalt's massive hand," the masked young man said, "is precisely the moment his own vision is obscured. We only have one chance for a single strike. You just exert your strength, and I will deliver the strike. With one strike, we sever his hand and take the Celestial Gang Dao weapon. As for the other Celestial Dao weapons, take them if you can; if not, leave immediately and do not linger!"

Di Qing's path crossed theirs. He felt utterly bewildered: "Who is that young man?" He had no time for further thought. He had just reached the Sun Keepers' side, unleashing his magic power to protect the citizens of Tianfang City, and with a fierce roar, he exerted his full strength!

Tianfang City dramatically fractured. A huge piece of land within the divine city, guided by his magic power, separated from the main city and rapidly flew downwards!

"Honored Heaven Exalt ordered the Celestial Heavens' army to open a gap," Di Qing said quickly, "That is our chance to escape, our only chance! We will leave Xuandu and go to the Primordial Realm..."

Just then, an earth-shattering blade hum resounded. Di Qing turned to look, his gaze becoming dull. In the sky, the five small figures were now emitting an incredibly dazzling light! It was a blade gleam, erupting from the depths of the void, blindingly bright and resonating with Xuandu's Celestial Dao. A single blade gleam traversed heaven and earth, striking towards Honored Heaven Exalt's massive hand! He saw this blade gleam, its length unknown. A black line appeared in his vision, and then he could no longer see the blade gleam, because it had left a deep wound in Xuandu's space, severing space and cutting through layers of void.

The path of the blade hummed and vibrated, cutting into Honored Heaven Exalt's palm at the wrist.

Celestial Baleful Qi slices through Celestial Gang!

Di Qing blinked his eyes. He still could not see the blade gleam. However, he saw Honored Heaven Exalt's massive hand struggling at the wrist, and on Honored Heaven Exalt's face, which obscured half the sky, expressions of surprise and anger appeared.

The landmass sped onwards, rushing towards the Celestial Heavens' army's only gap. The Celestial Heavens' forces immediately mobilized, converging on the gap, as thousands of gods and devils swarmed towards the dilapidated landmass, attempting to kill them. On the landmass, the ruins of Tianfang Divine City continued to collapse.

Di Qing hastily turned his head back. In that fleeting glance, he saw that although the five figures had severed Honored Heaven Exalt's massive hand, they were shaken, their forms scattered, their physical bodies exploding into blood mist. The five figures intertwined and sped rapidly under Honored Heaven Exalt's hand. They quickly recovered to their peak state, soaring away, clinging to Honored Heaven Exalt's falling palm.

Honored Heaven Exalt's gigantic hand was still falling downwards. Below it was Tianfang Divine City. Their target was the Celestial Dao weapons trapped under the palm. However, Honored Heaven Exalt's hand still contained immense power, pushing the Celestial Dao weapons down together towards the dilapidated Tianfang City. It was about to cover them along with the city, destroying them all together with the divine city!

"Cult Master!" Zhe Huali looked at the divine city's ground, drawing ever closer. He shouted sternly, "If we don't go now, it'll be too late!"

Qin Mu led them, speeding along the surface of Honored Heaven Exalt's palm. Suddenly, his divine treasure domain reversed. The five only felt a spatial dislocation, realizing they had instantly inverted from head-up to head-down, and were now wildly rushing forward, treading on Honored Heaven Exalt's palm lines! Ahead were the Celestial Dao weapons, each emanating astonishing celestial might!

Butcher, Luo Wushuang, Tian Shu, and Qin Mu each reached out their hands, grabbing at the Celestial Dao weapons one by one. Zhe Huali gritted his teeth, ignoring the imminent collision with Tianfang City, and also reached out to grab one of the Celestial Dao weapons!

*Boom—*

Honored Heaven Exalt's palm closed upon Tianfang City. The entire divine city instantly turned to dust, which then shattered and transformed into primordial chaos. Countless divine beings and ordinary citizens evaporated in an instant; neither their bodies nor their souls remained.
