‘Relationship 45? It isn’t low. At least, he doesn’t bear any hatred against me,’ Jiang Ming thought inwardly.

However, he was certain that the Heavenly Emperor must have had some plans for him.

After all, if the Heavenly Emperor was given a chance, he would want to take Jiang Ming under his wings. If Jiang Ming refused to submit to him, he would get rid of him right away. Jiang Ming felt there was nothing wrong with the Heavenly Emperor’s decision. He also wanted to get rid of him if he had the chance.

After all, there could only be one alpha on a mountain.

Of course, regardless of being in bed or trying to spread his influence, Jiang Ming was rather inactive compared to the Heavenly Emperor.

“This guy has three clones, and nobody, including Star Lord Taibai, realizes it?” Jiang Ming exclaimed.

He was certain that the one who became the Heavenly Emperor was the real deal. It was just that he was replaced by a clone at some point.

He had no idea how the Heavenly Emperor created his clones as well. All of them were as powerful as the real deal. Besides, he did not know where the other two clones were too.

“I guess I should stay away from this Heavenly Emperor for the time being.”

Jiang Ming had regarded the Heavenly Emperor as the most dangerous person inwardly.

What was even more frightening was that the Heavenly Emperor was the lord of the stars. He was already there when the sky was separated from the ground. In other words, he had already amassed a massive amount of experience throughout the years. Besides, he also had received the legacies of his fallen brethren, and he even was able to absorb energy from the sun and the moon.

Of course, this was not the most terrifying aspect about him. His most terrifying ability was his ability to see through the Great Demon Venerate’s plan. Not only did he see through the Great Demon Venerate’s plan, but he also went along with his plan and destroyed the Heavenly Court as well as a clone in order to achieve his goal.

Nobody wanted someone like him as their enemy, including Jiang Ming. Once he became his enemy, he would need to get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, things would go really bad.

“His ultimate goal is to take down the Great Demon Venerate, the Buddha Lord, and the Dragon Lord in one fell swoop. He’s going to release their energy and absorb it for his own use. After that, he would form the perfect Great Astral Formation and became the lord of multi-universe. At that time, he would be able to sanctify his Dao! The Demon Slaying Order will throw the Abyss into a turmoil. The fall of the Heavenly Court will eliminate all of those who’re against him. Even though this is a move that will bring more damage to himself than to his enemy, the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t care about it. He won’t deliver the final strike to the Great Demon Venerate, but he’ll do everything he can to make sure that he won’t be able to get back on his feet anymore, and there’s one last step before his plan is done!”

A myriad of thoughts flitted across Jiang Ming’s head.

The sky was cloudless and the wind continued to blow.

Riyue Changfeng grabbed something in the air and a cup fell into his palm. He swirled the cup in his hand and emptied the tea in one sitting. With a flick of his mind, a stream emerged from the teapot, creating an arc in the air before falling into the cup.

“Judging from the situation, the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor have lost,” Riyue Changfeng said. However, he kept his eyebrows in a confused frown as he continued, “But this is strange.”

“Yeah, it’s indeed strange!” Jiang Ming chimed in. There was a frown on his forehead as well. ” The Heavenly Court has been governing the universe for so many years, and the Heavenly Emperor is as powerful as a Saint Lord. By right, he should be able to fend them off easily, but why does it seem to me that he’s rather… How should I put it… Weak? Not only that, but the Western Emperor, the Southern Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor are all dead. Nearly half of his troops were wiped out as well. This is really strange.”

“It seems to me that this is part of the Heavenly Emperor’s plan. Could it be that he’s trying to eliminate all of his enemies through the Great Demon Venerate’s hands?” Riyue Changfeng said after a short while of contemplation. “Is he not afraid that his plan would backfire? If I can see through his plan, it means other experts can as well. Is he not worried of inciting the rage of other experts of other forces? He’ll be completely destroyed if they all join forces with the Great Demon Venerate. There’s no way the Heavenly Emperor would be so stupid. Could it be that he still has an ace up his sleeve?”

At the end of the day, he still couldn’t see through the entire plan of the Heavenly Emperor. That being said, he was considered rather observant since he was able to deduce his plan to this extent.

“I guess so. He’s very confident in himself,” Jiang Ming replied.

“Yeah.” Riyue Changfeng frowned.

Swoosh.

Jiang Ming flipped the Human Paths Record open.

Name: Tian Mo (The Great Demon Venerate).

Status: ‘It’s starting, it’s finally starting, the Sky-defying Boundary Breaking Formation. I hope it could bring down the Heavenly Court and kill the Heavenly Emperor in one blow.

‘I don’t believe that I can’t kill him with the power of so many worlds, but why do I have a bad feeling inside of me? Could it be that Tai Yuan still has an ace up his sleeve?

‘Yes! That’s right! I’m sure he still has an ace up his sleeve, and it’s a big one! However, it won’t be something like the 12 ancient venerates that I have. After all, that kind of opportunity won’t happen a second time.

‘The Great Astral Formation has been dispelled and the Heavenly Court is falling.

‘Just as I expected, Tai Yuan hasn’t died yet, but Star Lord Taibai is dead. This is strange. Did he protect Tai Yuan? Or did he die willingly after seeing the fall of the Heavenly Court? Or is he controlled by Tai Yuan?

‘He’s here! Good riddance! What did she just say? Western Emperor, Southern Emperor, and Eastern Emperor were all in the Heavenly Court and all of them are dead. Even half of his troops have been wiped out, but he’s fine. Why do I have a feeling that this is part of his plan? Why do I have a chill down my spine?

‘I must be overthinking. Under such absolute power, everything is useless .As long as I kill Tai Yuan, the universe will be mine!

‘D*mn it! He has issued the Demon Slaying Order!

‘D*mn it, Tai Yuan! How dare you put a curse on me! If I don’t kill you, I won’t be able to sanctify my Dao. Even if I have to spend everything I have, I must take you down today!

‘This is my final attack! Prepare to die!

‘Oh gosh! He hasn’t died yet?

‘This is bad!

‘F*ck! This is what he has been hiding all along? This is bad!’

The corner of Jiang Ming’s lips quivered as he read through his status.

This Great Demon Venerate was even more stupid than he thought he was.

He was nothing but an open book for the Heavenly Emperor, but he knew nothing about him. He thought that with his formation, the Holy Weapon, and the help from the 12 ancient venerates, he could defeat the Heavenly Emperor.

However, little did he expect that he was the one who fell into the Heavenly Emperor’s trap.

‘Sigh! What a pitiful man!’

“But what is the ace that the Heavenly Emperor has been hiding up his sleeves?”

When that thought surfaced in Jiang Ming’s head, he activated his Dharma Eyes and looked toward the Heavenly Realm.

The divine mirror next to Riyue Changfeng glowed and the situation in the Heavenly Realm appeared on it.

The Sky-defying Boundary Breaking Formation that the Great Demon Venerate activated had crushed the Heavenly Court.

The entire Heavenly Realm was glowing with immortal light everywhere. Many fragments had pierced through the void and fell to an unknown location.

After so many years, the Heavenly Court finally welcomed its second destruction.

The Heavenly Emperor had shown himself as well. He looked battered and weak. He spat a mouthful of blood to the world below and looked at the person in front of him.

“Tian Mo, you still can’t kill me even though you’ve sacrificed so many worlds,” the Heavenly Emperor said, his voice cold, “If you can’t kill me, you can’t be the Heavenly Emperor. When this war has ended, you will receive your retribution due to the karma. At that time, forget about sanctifying your Dao, there won’t be a single bit of you left! And the Abyss, 90% of living objects in it will die, and from that time onward, the Abyss will become a land of death!”

There were two venerates standing behind him.

Another four were dead, and 90% of his troops had been wiped out.

The Great Demon Venerate was cruel. However, only the Heavenly Emperor and Jiang Ming knew the true situation.

“Then you should die!” The Great Demon Venerate shouted, his voice thick with manic, “At this point, do you really think you can survive, Tai Yuan?”

“You’ve underestimated me,” the Heavenly Emperor harrumphed, “Do you really think you can do whatever you want after you crushed the Heavenly Court? Tian Mo, I should show you that in my eyes, you’re nothing but a lowly demon!

“Astral Universal Destruction Formation!”

He waved his sword and the ground shook. A barrier appeared and enveloped the entire Heavenly Realm.

No one could enter or go out of the Heavenly Realm right now, but people could still see what was happening inside.

“After I became the Heavenly Emperor, I’ve been collecting many things such as the Stellar Gold and the Force of Universe. I put them all together and forge 365 Stellar Pillars and split the Heavenly Realm into 365 regions. In each region there’s a pillar buried in it, and all of them have formed into a great destructive formation!

“As the time goes by, the formation will only get stronger and stronger.

“Right now, after billions of years, once the formation starts running, even a Saint Lord comes, I have the confidence to kill them!

“Initially, I’m going to use this formation against a Saint Lord, but I didn’t expect that I would use it on you, Tian Mo.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t activate it in time. If not, I could’ve saved the Heavenly Court from falling.”

As the Heavenly Emperor was talking, his expression changed. He lowered his head and saw one of the pillars exploded into dust.

The formation had just started running, but it was already flawed.
