Chapter 2527: Heavenlord

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Ruochen had heard the rumors about the leader of the Yanluo clan, the Life Reverend and Auspicious Reverend from Luo Sha. At that time, he had only thought of it as an internal conflict in the Infernal Court. He hadn’t thought much about it.

However, he remembered the Saint Realm catastrophe and the scenario during that period when the conflict almost destroyed various myriad worlds.

The changes in the Infernal Court seemed very strange.

As far as he knew, although the Saint Realm had rejected the Infernal Court because of their different beliefs, they could only stay in the milky way of styx. However, some of the races in the Infernal Court still had a good relationship with the macroworld cultivators. They were not completely hostile to each other.

After such a big thing happened, the entire universe was in a state of panic. Was the Infernal Court not afraid at all? The first thing that came to their minds was actually declaring war against the Celestial Court.

Yan Huangtu once said that the Twenty Devas were likely to be the Twenty-four Devas, and the other four heavens were from the Infernal Court.

In other words, it was very likely that the Twenty-four Devas had gone and done that major event 300,000 years ago.

If the Saint Realm had been destroyed, it would have been a disaster caused by what they had done back then.

Wasn’t the Infernal Court afraid of revenge from others?

Why hasn’t anyone taken revenge against the Infernal Court yet?

The more Zhang Ruochen thought about it, the more he felt that it was strange. However, too much time had passed, and there were no clues. It wasn’t reliable to guess anything based on the legends.

He continued listening to Granny Begonia.

Kunlun has been the most powerful world since ancient times, and it has been indestructible since forever. The third Confucius forefathers of the Path of Confucianism, was one of the Twenty Devas that participated in that event 300,000 years ago. Even Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations had once been his student.”

Hearing this secret news, Zhang Ruochen felt honored. He suppressed a smile, “There are three Paths of martial arts in the world,” he said. “The nine schools of thoughts all over the world, and with the Path of Confucianism being one of the three Paths of Kunlun, I think there must have been heaven-level figures in Confucianism.”

Granny Begonia said, “Before the third Confucius forefathers, about 10 Yuanhui periods ago, your Zhang family’s ancestor, the Immovable Wisdom King, was also one of the Twenty Devas of that era. He was even a Heavenlord.”

A Heavenlord? Zhang Ruochen asked.

Granny Begonia said, “The number one person within the Twenty Devas can be called a Heavenlord. There can be twenty Devas in every era, but only one Heavenlord.”

Zhang Ruochen gulped nervously. He hadn’t expected the Zhang family’s ancestor to be so terrifying. No wonder that a jade pendant he left behind could stop the possession of a god-like Asurendra Samay.

He was a Heavenlord and an honorable god.

Thinking about himself now, Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt like an unworthy descendant.

If the Immovable Wisdom King had his divine spirit remaining in the world and saw the Zhang family’s decline, then not even the coffin could contain him!

Even though Granny Begonia had never met the Immovable Wisdom King before, she had heard many legends about him. Kunlun was incredibly glorious in ancient times when the Immovable Wisdom King was around. Many macroworlds followed the lead of Kunlun.

She continued, “In every era, Kunlun occupied a place in the Twenty Devas. I’m telling you this because I want to tell you that even in the late Middle Ages, Kunlun was still mighty and had a strong foundation. It has all sorts of protective measures set up by heaven-grade characters in history. If it weren’t for the traitors and the dirty tricks from the Celestial Court, Kunlun might not have ended up in such a miserable state.

Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations, Bi Luozi, Saint Monk Xumi, Dragon Lord Jiwang… many gods of Kunlun had their whereabouts revealed in that battle. Many plots were against them, and they were either besieged or ambushed, so most died. Only a few managed to escape.

Zhang Ruochen knew about the traitors and the dirty tricks. He had heard the Moon Goddess talking about it.

Granny Begonia obviously didn’t know much about the dirty tricks. She only saw the surface of things. This chapter is updated by Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Granny Begonia said, “The battle between Celestial and Infernal Court lasted for a thousand years. It started in Kunlun and ended in Kunlun. The passing of Saint Monk Xumi ended it, and the two sides signed a truce. The Middle Age is over!”

A universe-grade battle would last for a long time. It would not end in a few days.

The heaven-level figures in the history of Kunlun had left many defensive and offensive means in the starry sky outside the world, as well as countless Dimensional Trap and Array fortresses.

If the Infernal Court dared invade and managed to destroy Kunlun, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Who could pay such a price?

The Battle of Ten Thousand Realms had only been fought for a thousand years, which was quite a short period of time. The wars between secular countries could easily last for decades. (The Songmeng War and the Qingming War had been fought for decades.)

A truce agreement? Why did they sign a truce agreement? Zhang Ruochen asked.

Granny Begonia said, “Because both the Celestial and Infernal Courts suffered heavy losses in this war as more than half of the deities on both sides died. The Celestial Court’s subordinate worlds have been destroyed by over a thousand, and the war halted even the flow of the milky way of styx. Billions of planets with cultivators gathered on them were laid to waste. More than 10 trillion souls and creatures of the Infernal Court have died.”

It was hard for Zhang Ruochen to imagine how terrible the war of gods had been.

At least one macro world was destroyed in the Celestial Court every year.

Every year, millions of planets fall in the Infernal Court.

What kind of blood feud had been formed?

After thousands of years of war, the entire Celestial Court had suffered heavy losses and grew tired of war. Because there were so many worlds and so many forces, the internal conflicts of the Celestial Court multiplied quickly, and the Celestial Palace had no choice but to propose a truce to the Infernal Court.

Zhang Ruochen said, “The Infernal Court just agreed like that?”

Many of the clans in the Infernal Court believe in death, war, and slaughter. However, there are also limits to everything because the dead souls will die too. They are also afraid of true death.

Granny Begonia continued, “During the battle against Saint Monk Xumi, many deities died in the Infernal Court. There were also big internal conflicts happening within. The conflicts intensified to the extent that the Fane of Destiny and the Fane of Darkness could not suppress them. If they continued to fight, there was a high chance that chaos would break out within the Infernal Court.”

The Fane of Destiny and the Fane of Darkness could only sign an agreement with the Celestial Court.

Because it was the Celestial Court that first proposed a truce. Furthermore, the Infernal Court’s might was stronger. There were still a large number of gods who wanted to continue fighting. The Celestial Court was at a disadvantage when the truce was signed.

Zhang Ruochen said, “But the war is not over. The Celestial Court and the Infernal Court were still fighting on the Battlefield of Merits. The Infernal Court has not given up on the idea of exterminating all living things in the world.”

Granny Begonia said, “When Saint Monk Xumi passed away, he used the last of his divine force to protect Kunlun. From then on, Kunlun was almost isolated from the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court. Therefore, everything about the armistice agreement was only known to me when I went to the Celestial Court and read the records. Only the elites who experienced that period would understand what exactly happened.

However, in the past 100,000 years, there have been few large-scale battles between the Celestial and Infernal Court. Even on the Battlefield of Merits, only cultivators below Supreme Saint were allowed to enter the realm to fight. The conflict was restricted only to those below the divinity level.
