He wished to travel to the Chaos and looked for the legendary Chaos Sea as well. He did go to the Chaos by telling everyone that he was going to cultivate in seclusion, but he was nearly killed by the raging Chaos Force. After he came back, he decided to put the plan of venturing into the Chaos on hold.
He wanted to gain absolute control over the universe and became the true emperor in order to sanctify his Dao. Therefore, he started to look for gold everywhere, forge the stellar banner, and form the Great Astral Formation. While he was strengthening the defense of the Honggu World, he had gained supremacy over the entire universe.
Unfortunately, the Abyss refused his governance. As such, he began to formulate a plan to force them to submit to him or to get destroyed by him. It was not an easy task, but the last time he lacked was time. In the meantime, he also tried to look into the real situation in the Abyss.
He chuckled in derision when he learned that the Great Demon Venerate had made 12 ancient venerates his subordinates. After all, even though all 12 ancient venerates were powerful, they were nothing to him. He also found it ridiculous when the Great Demon Venerate went into hiding so that he could overturn the Heavenly Court and became the Great Heavenly Venerate himself.
After all, he was the star lord, the heavenly emperor. There was nothing in this universe that could escape his eyes.
He lifted his eyebrows in amusement when he found out that the sky demon possessed a Holy Weapon. After all, with the power of the Holy Power, there was a possibility that the Great Demon Venerate would succeed in overturning the Heavenly Court. However, after he thought for a while, he decided to give what the Great Demon Venerate wanted. It was just that he still needed a chance.
However, when the chance came, he hesitated.
A planar world was destroyed and its core was pulled toward the Infinite Realm Battlefield. The reason was that the treasure of the former Heavenly Court might be hidden inside.
‘Treasure? What kind of treasure is it? And this human named Jiang Ming is able to kill the Northern Emperor and two Demon Venerate?’ The Heavenly Emperor was shocked.
‘Who is he? How can he be so powerful? Hold on a second. He isn’t even in the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm, but even if he cultivates the World Dao, he shouldn’t be that strong!’
He found it hard to believe that someone as powerful as Jiang Ming would appear in a mortal world. There was no way the treasure of the former Heavenly Court could support the growth of someone at his caliber. Not only that, but his special abilities were powerful, and he could detonate Great Overarching Dao Vessels with one of his special abilities.
He was certain that Jiang Ming must’ve gotten something in secret. Could it be the legacy of the legendary Chaos Sea? Or was he a beneficiary from the Lord God or the Reincarnation Hall? Or did he receive a legacy from a Saint Lord?
If not, there was no way he could develop his World Dao to this extent and there was no way he could master such a powerful special ability.
Regardless, he had given him a chance.
Since he was carrying a great secret, he decided to use him as a driving force to put his plan into action.
He nominated Jiang Ming as the next Northern Emperor. He was going to give Jiang Ming 100 years to prove himself, while in the meantime, allow the Buddha, the dragons, the demons, and the humans to fight for the title.
When the Infinite Realm Auction House arrived, he was delighted. He was confident that the Great Demon Venerate would panic if he had already come out of his seclusion. After all, the Heavenly Emperor was the wealthiest person since he governed the Heavenly Court. When the auction started, he would be able to gain a massive amount of good items.
Initially, he planned to seize the auction house as his own, but after a deliberate consideration, he decided to forgo the thought. After all, those ancient beings might step in if he were to do something to the Infinite Realm Auction House.
He was shocked when he realized someone had punctured the abyss and killed three Demon Venerates with his special ability that he developed himself.
He wondered if it was Riyue Changfeng, the manager of the Infinite Realm Auction House who did it. After all, no one could do something like that except him. However, when he gave it a second thought, he felt it might not be Riyue Changfeng. After all, he did not have to do that at all. It was Jiang Ming. He was mysterious, and he might have obtained some supreme power that allowed him to have access to all sorts of special abilities .
The Great Demon Venerate had already come out of his seclusion.
After all, several Demon Venerates had died and the Abyss had been punctured. As the king of the Abyss, there was no way he could sit still and not do anything. He had been planning for hundreds of millions of years, and it was time to put his plan into motion.
Just as the Heavenly Emperor expected, the Great Demon Venerate had started to rebel against the Heavenly Court.
However, he was stunned when he realized that other than attacking the Heavenly Court, the troops from the Abyss were invading into other worlds as well, and he was certain that this was not the doing of the Great Demon Venerate.
Just like what he thought, it was the doing of the Great Demon Concubine. He felt it was really a bad move for the Great Demon Venerate to keep the Great Demon Concubine, whose brain was filled with nothing but lust, by his side.
‘Oh Great Demon Venerate, you’re really such a fool. You think you can beat me in a game of mind? You think everything would develop as you wish just because you’ve been planning with care all along? You’re wrong! It’s exactly because you’re too careful that you’ve lost your ruthlessness and boldness as a demon. If you initiate a frontal attack against me, it might give me some trouble, but now, you’re going to take advantage of the Great Demon Concubine and make the universe into the eye of your formation to obtain great power to crush the Heavenly Court and kill me. Honestly, it’s a great move, but unfortunately, you’re destined to be defeated by me!
The war lasted for a year, and the Heavenly Emperor knew the Great Demon Venerate was going to make his move as the auction was about to begin.
As such, he was going to order Star Lord Taibai to call the troops back to defend the Heavenly Court, for he thought that the Great Demon Venerate might attack the Heavenly Court out of desperation. In the meantime, he also summoned the other three emperors back to the Heavenly Court, and he was going to kill all of them when the Great Demon Venerate made his move.
He decided to kill all of the troops that had been infiltrated, and he was going to send one of his clones to his death.
‘Hah! This time, I’m going to cleanse the Heavenly Court. At the same time, I’m going to fake my death and go into hiding. After the Buddha Lord comes out and kills the Great Demon Venerate as well as destroying the Abyss, I’ll lure the other to fight for the position of the Heavenly Emperor. Then, I’ll find a chance and kill all of them.
The Heavenly Emperor was shocked when he realized the Future Buddha was still alive. Later, he found out that the Future Buddha used his troop as his shield to block against the attack.
‘You want to live? No way! I’ll kill you first! Eastern Emperor? Where do you think you’re going? You’re not going to get out of here alive! And Star Lord Taibai, well, he has been a loyal subordinate for me for many years, so I can’t let him live either.’
The Heavenly Court was falling.
‘The attack has slowed down, and now is my chance. The Great Demon Venerate, I’m going to make you the target of everyone and nail you to the pillar of shame! The world will fall into chaos at the Demon Slaying Order. The curse of the clone will make you lose your mind. Well, this is what I want things to turn out as well. When my clone is dead and the curse is lifted, you’ll think I’m really dead! Haha!
‘Hmm? You still refuse to ask help from the 12 ancient venerates? Is it because you’re worried about something? I won’t let you have your way! Even if I can’t kill you today, I must clip your wings so that the Buddha Lord and the others could eliminate you!
‘Is this the final round of attack? Then, it’s time for me to bring out the full might of the Heavenly Court.’
He felt a little bit sad at the falling of the Heavenly Court, but he thought this was necessary in his plan. After all, new things wouldn’t come if old things didn’t go away. After he had gotten rid of everyone, he could have absolute control over the universe. When that happened, he was certain that he could sanctify his Dao.
He was willing to give up everything in order to sanctify his Dao.
After he had blocked the Great Demon Venerate’s attack, it was time for him to retaliate.
He was going to unleash everything he had at the Great Demon Venerate. He wanted him as well as the others to know the might of the Heavenly Emperor.
After Jiang Ming had finished reading his status, he felt a chill down his spine.
He did not believe that the Heavenly Emperor in front of them was just a clone. Not only did he see through the Great Demon Venerate’s plan, but he went along with his plan and deceived everyone by allowing the Heavenly Court to fall.
‘As expected of the Heavenly Emperor!’ Jiang Ming exclaimed inwardly.
