Chapter 1142 - 690: Initiating Battle
"Praise Heavenly Emperor Indra!"
"You are the Lord of Heaven..."
"You are the God King..."
Countless songs and musical praises resounded, extolling the name of the one god, echoing heavily across the skies.
Amidst this chorus of praises, another sound was heard—the rumbling of thunder, as the calamitous clouds rolled in omniously.
Indeed...
"Rumble rumble!"
Entangled in karmic cause and effect, driven by merit and sin, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation reemerged, shrouding the high heavens and the firmament, striking at the Immortal Realm Divine Domain that was returning to the mundane world.
"This is..."
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Mundane Tribulation!"
"An Earth Immortal?!"
"Who is it?!"
The might of the Heavenly Tribulation alarmed the surroundings, as countless Cultivators and even Immortal Gods soared into the high heavens, looking uncertain at the overwhelming thunderstorm and the strike-battered yet steadfastly returning Immortal Realm Divine Domain.
Thus it was at the scene, and likewise, the live streaming room was in utter chaos.
"Holy shit?"
"What’s happening?"
"Such a grand scene, is a Heavenly Demon attacking?"
"Youngster, you’re clueless, this isn’t any Heavenly Demon."
"This is a Mundane Tribulation, triggered by the unsealing of a Cave Heaven Blessed Land."
"No, the intensity of this tribulation has already exceeded the scope of a Cave Heaven Blessed Land."
"Cultivators enter the Blessed Land, True Immortals reside in Cave Heavens, and above Cave Heaven Blessed Lands... lies the Immortal Realm Divine Domain!"
"Heavenly Immortal, or Earth Immortal?"
"Which Divine Lineage?"
"Indra, is the Heavenly Emperor of the Brahman Sect!"
"Lord of Heaven, God King, what grand titles!"
"Blowing smoke like this..."
"The Brahman Sect holds Tri-Aspect God as the Supreme Lord; this so-called Heavenly Emperor... is nothing but a mascot!"
"You can’t say that, although Indra is not on par with the Three Forms God, he is indeed next in status within the Brahman Sect, holding the position of an Earth Immortal, and even among Earth Immortals is considered a powerhouse."
"Finally an Earth Immortal emerges into the world?"
"I wonder if he can withstand it..."
Watching the Immortal Realm Divine Domain enduring the trial of the Heavenly Tribulation, with thunder ravaging, the onlookers discussed among themselves. The shock went without saying, but more prevalent were feelings of alarm and concern.
The Brahman Sect!
Ever since the "Martial Path Live Broadcast," the Taoist Masters of the Wandao School have been trampling over major powers and gradually establishing the Wandao School. In order to restore the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit and fend off the assault from the Desire Realm, they destroyed mountains and temples, and forced various Divine Lineages, Taoist Lineages, and each Cave Heaven Blessed Land to face the risk of additional tribulations to unseal and enter the world.
Through it all, unwittingly pushing many Cultivators, and even Demigod Void Immortals to their deaths.
The hatred within needs no mention, though identifying with the greater good in the name of the welfare of the common people, still some remember every drop of blood debt owed to the Wandao School. It’s just that, intimidated by the growing strength of the few Taoist Masters and the Wandao School, they dare to remember but not to speak.
But this situation won’t continue indefinitely. If the strength of the Wandao School were to wane, inevitably some would step forward to settle scores and claim back those blood debts after autumn, so to speak.
The Brahman Sect would certainly be among them, even topping the list.
Because among all Divine Lineages, their hatred with Wandao School is the deepest, with the biggest and most accumulated blood debts.
Other Divine Lineages and powers, though also coerced by the power of the Wandao School into risking the tribulations to open their Blessed Lands, and even being destroyed by the Wandao School for their resistance, suffered massive losses, including the fall of many Void Immortals and Demigods, but it was just that—Void Immortals and Demigods.
Those True Immortals and True Gods, each preserving themselves wisely, have not directly clashed with the Wandao School. With their own deep potential and strong power, they can barely withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, paying a considerable price, but not to the point of death and obliteration.
As such, among the Divine Lineages and powers, not many have true blood feuds with the Wandao School, save for a few like the Brahman Sect, the Dongying Divine Lineage, among others.
And the Brahman Sect tops that list, starting from the Garuda Clan at the beginning, followed by the Fire God Agi Ni, the War God Sai Jianyuo, and the Sun God Surya, the Brahman Sect has lost three Ninth Order True Gods to the Wandao School as well as a Tenth Order Heavy Weapon, the Sun God Armor, with other losses being incalculable.
These were just the overt losses; the covert damage was even more severe, thoroughly humiliating the Brahman Sect, causing the loss of public support. In the tens of thousands of years of the Scholar’s Palace’s governance, they’ve faced widespread resistance, leaving them dwindled and unable to recover.
A mighty Divine Lineage fallen to such a state, it would not be an overstatement to call it a blood feud. Even if the Wandao School is justified as the Master of Fate, the blood feud and debts of the Brahman Sect must be avenged.
Previously without sufficient strength and unable to defeat the Wandao School, they had to lie low and bide their time.
But now it is different, with Heavenly Emperor Indra, the existence within the Brahman Sect second only to the Tri-Aspect God, about to return to the mortal realm.
With such an ally, would the Brahman Sect still swallow their anger in silence?
And how should the Wandao School respond to withstand this Brahma Heavenly Emperor?
Although this Heavenly Emperor is somewhat in name only, at the very least he is still an Earth Immortal.
Over the years, although Wandao School has developed vigorously, their apparent battle power consists of a few True Immortal Taoist Masters and a host of Demigod Void Immortals. Even with the Ninth Order Xuanyuan and the True Law Heavenly Punishment Eighth Order Mecha among their arsenal, unbeatable among True Immortals, they are still just that—True Immortals.
Facing an Earth Immortal, one with years of accumulated strength, what chances do they have to win, or rather... what hope do they have to survive?
The web of cause and effect here is uncomplicated, and most Cultivators in the live streaming room understand it, now mostly silent, alarmed, worried, at a loss.
Just at this moment...
"Rumble rumble!"
With flashes of lightning and thunderous roars, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation is heart-shaking, yet unable to disturb that piece of Immortal Realm Divine Domain. Within the Realm of Immortals, with countless "Qiantapo" dancing gracefully, singing praises.
