Chapter 864 - 89: Treading on Lingxiao, Slaying the Jade Emperor! (End)

The tide of All Spirits emerged.

In an instant, the celestial kingdom evolved from the Hall of Ascending Clouds echoed with deafening hoofbeats, as if countless warhorses were galloping across the sea of clouds and the heavenly river.

Duncan’s gaze instantly locked onto the King of Pagoda-bearer, Li Jing, before him.

The King of Pagoda-bearer, Li Jing, was permissible.

But he could not be someone sealed by the Jade Emperor here; Duncan intended to sever his Divine Spirit form and then incorporate his divine rank into the Human Emperor Banner.

At this moment, about one-third of the divine ranks within the Hall of Ascending Clouds had already been diminished.

The Jade Emperor’s expression was deeply heartbroken; these were all divine ranks meticulously cultivated through incense offerings from the Daoist sect, spanning hundreds of years from the Southern and Northern Dynasties until now. Even the face of the Jade Emperor was a fusion of the High Jade Emperor and the Jade Emperor Daoist Monarch, forming the foundation of the future celestial court.

However, within just this brief moment, Duncan had slain many, even erasing their divine ranks and incorporating them into the Investiture of the Gods, stamping them with the Heavenly Dao Law’s mark.

Yet not all Divine Spirits slain by Duncan could enter the Investiture of the Gods within the Human Emperor Banner; some vanished immediately after being killed, leaving only a few inscriptions on the Human Emperor Banner.

These were primarily the gods of the ’Thunder Division’, as their core was the Divine Spirit worshiped by the Shenxiao school. This Daoist branch only started to flourish after the Song Dynasty, and their belief in the mortal realm was insufficient. When Duncan killed their Divine Spirit form, the Heavenly Dao Will seized their divine rank, causing them to vanish in an instant.

Duncan’s strength grew ever stronger with each battle!

Even facing the hundreds of Divine Spirit forms outside the Hall of Ascending Clouds, he directly raised the Human Emperor Banner. In an instant, a multitude of shadows converged around him, manifesting numerous Divine Spirit faces along with celestial soldiers and generals forged into Taoist soldiers.

—— East Star Lord, West Star Lord, Middle Star Lord, South Star Lord, North Star Lord.

The incarnations of the five Divine Spirits appeared, yet they lacked human consciousness, more akin to a Heavenly Dao-driven Divine Spirit form, similar to the concept of subordinate gods under the celestial court, awaiting the one who gains enlightenment to seize their rank. Among these, the North Star Lord’s strength was supreme.

South Star governs birth, North Star governs death.

These five figures raised their Magical Artifacts and charged into battle, instantly decapitating the Wuqu Star’s form. As a streak of light flew into the Human Emperor Banner, Duncan gained another Wuqu Star as a summonable divine rank.

Rumble!

The Divine Spirit forms outside the Hall of Ascending Clouds finally could no longer resist, and coupled with the void shattering from the collision of laws, despite the Hall of Ascending Clouds being part of the Jade Emperor’s concept, it inevitably collapsed with a roar. When the divine power of All Spirits Faith converged onto Duncan, the most critical law inscribed on the plaque of the hall front, the three characters ’Hall of Ascending Clouds’, was directly taken down by Duncan.

Crack!

Duncan stomped the plaque of ’Hall of Ascending Clouds’ into pieces, and the majestic palace before lost the protection of its laws, beginning to collapse massively.

Initially, the violent clash outside that shattered space could not harm the body of the Hall of Ascending Clouds at all, yet now merely a ripple of the battle caused large beams and pillars to collapse.

To liken it to Western mythology, it’s akin to directly storming Odin’s golden palace.

Satisfying!

Kill them all!

Seize the bird position of the Jade Emperor!

The clash between the Three Corpses and the will of All Spirits was as if golden wind met dew, instantly merging into one.

What demeanor the Three Corpses possesses, needs no further elaboration.

The temperament of the little darlings, also, requires no further explanation.

Only the Eastern cultivation concept has the notion of the Three Corpses, seen by the little darlings as merely Duncan’s Outer Body Incarnation, just a bit rebellious in personality, but no major issue. They even were quite friendly towards the Three Corpses, leaving them pleasantly surprised.

Duke of Thunder, Mother of Lightning, Marquis of Wind.

Duncan swiftly defeated three Divine Spirit forms, and the King of Pagoda-bearer, Li Jing, could no longer hold him off. With a shout, a child-like Divine Spirit appeared, revealing a form with three heads and six arms, wielding a long spear to confront Duncan.

Nazha, or rather, the prototype of Nazha, the son of the Buddhist guardian Vaisravana. The true Nazha would only emerge during the Southern Song period.

Die!

This version of Nazha was no match for Duncan. He was named Naluojiupo, who later transformed into a Taoist Divine Spirit.

Nevertheless, his strength was indeed formidable.

Uncertain if it was due to Nazha serving as a future template, like the Erlang Shen, who had little contemporary belief, yet possessed first-tier battle power in Divine Spirit forms.

Duncan’s towering form, like a mountain, shattered the Hall of Ascending Clouds!

Facing the bothersome little Nazha by his side, he clapped his palms together, unleashing boundless airwaves, accompanied by horrific sonic booms, akin to rolling thunder, causing nearby Divine Spirit forms to stagger.

The Nord Bow shot out a stream of light, and then the Oathkeeper cleaved down, severing Nazha’s form into two heads and four arms. Then, like stripping bone from flesh, Duncan mercilessly dismembered ’Naluojiupo’, his Divine Soul transforming into a stream of light captured by the Human Emperor Banner.

Never mind he was only the prototype of Nazha; even if he were the true Nazha, Duncan would show no mercy.

—— Five Camp Generals!

Duncan, with his three-headed, six-armed form, single-handedly battled the celestial court’s Divine Spirit forms, then pointed one hand towards the sky. As the golden stream of light condensed in an instant, the Heavenly Dao Law left a mark on Naluojiupo’s Divine Soul.
