576: I hit hard.

“So refreshing…”

In the Elf World, Qin Yang put away the Jade Pipa and let out a long sigh.

He rarely went all out like this, but this time, he fought comfortably.

It could be said that it was the most high-stakes battle he had fought since his Awakening.

Moreover, the harvest was considerable.

Apart from Mo Lishou, the Heavenly King Who Upholds the Nation’s Spirit Beast, the Flood Dragon…

Mo Liqing, the Heavenly King Who Increases Growth’s Qingyun Sword, Mo Lihong, the Heavenly King of Broad Eyes’ Hun Yuan Umbrella, and the Heavenly King Who Hears Much’s Jade Pipa were all taken by him.

These three immortal Magic Treasures, though not as powerful as ancient Divine Artifacts, were identified as “Rainbow Grade,” even stronger than the innate exclusive Divine Artifacts of gods in the Myriad Worlds.

From this, it could be seen that the Heavenly Court forces, who came to “invade” and hunt him down, were powerful enough to flatten the Myriad Worlds.

“These three items have powerful Divine Abilities, especially the Hun Yuan Umbrella.”

“This thing can even take in ancient Divine Artifacts, so it must be able to take Li Jing’s linglong pagoda.”

“At that time, Nezha’s Seal will also be lifted.”

“As for the Qingyun Sword and the Jade Pipa, one is not as good as the xuanyuan sword, and the other is not as good as the Fuxi Zither. They are not very useful in my hands, so I can give them to my daughter as a Meeting gift.”

“Oh, by the way, is it a girl or a boy?”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

That phrase, “Go, Father Emperor,” was shouted through Chu Mengxuan’s Physical Body.

Now, he wasn’t sure if the other party was a son or a daughter.

But it didn’t matter; “forcibly obtaining a child” was truly difficult.

To Qin Yang, whether it was a boy or a girl, they would be highly valued.

“What’s a good name to give them~”

Qin Yang looked in Chu Mengxuan’s direction, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

Just as he was about to immerse himself in the joy of being a father, he heard a voice transmission from Yang Jian.

“Brother Qin, something big is wrong.”

Qin Yang frowned and immediately asked, “What happened?”

Yang Jian said, “They’re getting anxious up there; they want to send Nezha over.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Qin Yang asked, puzzled, “Isn’t Nezha on our side?”

Yang Jian said, “He is on our side, but with the two of us fighting you, it will be very difficult to go easy without leaving any traces.”

“Then let’s not pretend anymore.”

Qin Yang’s eyes lit up, and he said, “We are going to rebel sooner or later. Nezha coming is just in time to complete our trio. If I destroy that Jianmu, the Heavenly Court will have no way to the Lower Realm, and the three of us will be free as birds. Moreover, with Nezha here, whether it’s collecting the remaining two Divine Artifacts or rescuing the Great Sage, we will have an extra helper.”

“If only it were that simple.”

Yang Jian sighed and said, “Nezha and I are bound by Karma to the investiture of the gods. If we rebel now, there’s a high probability that Jiang Ziya will weaken our strength. If only I am suppressed, there’s still room for maneuver, but if Nezha is also suppressed, then we really have no way.”

Qin Yang nodded slightly, understanding Yang Jian’s meaning, and then asked, “When can you two reveal your true intentions?”

“Naturally, when you achieve the Human Emperor,” Yang Jian said.

“What’s the connection between these?”

Qin Yang was a little confused.

Could it be that if he became the Human Emperor, Jiang Ziya would no longer suppress Yang Jian and Nezha?

Yang Jian seemed to have heard Qin Yang’s thoughts and asked, “Do you know why the investiture of the gods happened after Di Xin’s death?”

Qin Yang said, “That’s naturally for rewarding those with merit.”

“Wrong.”

Yang Jian said, “If Di Xin had not died, the Heavenly Emperor would not have had the power to deify Mortals.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang suddenly understood.

Indeed!

Before the investiture of the gods, the Heavenly Court could not control the Human Realm, so how could it confer so many divine positions?

This was like a manager of Department A having no authority to promote an employee from Department B across departments.

However, after Di Xin’s death, when King Wu of Zhou acknowledged Heaven as his father and called himself the Son of Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor gained this power.

This was like an employee from Department B killing their own manager, then acknowledging the manager of Department A as their father, thereby gaining the benefit of promotion.

Therefore, as long as the Human Emperor reappears, the Heavenly Court will lose the power to control the investiture of the gods.

Without the Human Emperor’s permission, the Heavenly Court cannot tamper with those on the list.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang nodded, “I understand. Without the Human Emperor’s Seal, the investiture of the gods is just a piece of toilet paper.”

Yang Jian said, “It’s good that you understand. It’s not that you need Nezha and me, but that Nezha and I need you. Before you achieve the Human Emperor, Nezha and I cannot reveal our true intentions, otherwise, there’s a high possibility that 90% of our strength will be Sealed. At that time, we would only drag you down.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang’s gaze became solemn, and he asked, “What should we do now?”

Yang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, “Before Nezha descends to the Lower Realm, defeat me and cut down Jianmu. This way, the temporary Celestial Gate will suffer a backlash, and Nezha will not be able to come down.”

“Isn’t that easy?”

Qin Yang chuckled, “I’ll cleave at you with an axe, you dodge to the side, and as a result, I chop down Jianmu.”

“Do you think the Heavenly Emperor is a fool?”

Yang Jian also laughed, “This matter cannot have a script. To avoid being seen through, I have to make it a real fight.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang was slightly startled, “How real?”

Yang Jian said, “Go all out.”

Qin Yang frowned.

After achieving the Tai Xu Primordial Body, his strength had indeed surged, but he wasn’t arrogant enough to challenge Erlang Shen.

If Yang Jian went all out, could he handle it?

Yang Jian seemed to see Qin Yang’s doubts and laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m not at full strength right now either, and the Howling Celestial Dog was also injured just now and cannot participate in the battle. If you still can’t defeat me like this, then as your elder brother, I’ll have to look down on you, Brother Qin.”

“Look down on me…”

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Qin Yang’s mouth.

He knew this was Yang Jian’s “goading tactic,” but he actually fell for it.

Moreover, he had to fall for it.

Just look at this anti-Heavenly Court quartet; which one was easy to deal with?

If he chickened out now, wouldn’t Nezha look down on him and the Great Sage laugh at him later?

To establish his standing in the quartet, he had to fight a good battle today.

Moreover, even if Yang Jian was at full strength, he wasn’t without a chance of winning.

One should know that in his Human Emperor Domain, there was an existence that almost became the Human Emperor.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang asked Yang Jian, “How much time do I have?”

Yang Jian said, “Half an incense stick. After half an incense stick, you will face both Nezha and me.”

Qin Yang chuckled, “That’s still quite a lot of time.”

Yang Jian let out a light laugh, “Heh, don’t brag. I hit hard; even the monkey cried out in pain.”

With that, he let out a loud shout, “Heavenly Law and Earthly Form!”

Rumble!

In the direction of Jianmu, a blinding, deadly light, like a nuclear explosion, erupted.

The gloomy, overcast sky, as if ignited by the strong light, turned into fiery red clouds.

Accompanied by rumbling sounds, a colossal figure slowly stood up.

It had a green face, fangs, fiery red hair, and a ferocious expression.

Clad in golden scale armor and wielding a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, its Divine Might was overwhelming.

Compared to this, the Aura of The Four Demonic Generals from before was like four mere minions.

When Qin Yang saw Yang Jian’s Dharma form, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This person truly kept his word.

He said he would go all out, and he really left no room, starting with his ultimate move.

However, Qin Yang still teased, “You are much uglier than the Erlang Shen I saw on TV.”
