Just like the Heavenly Monarch Ming Xing, Li Zhengdao, another member of the Heavenly Department, slowly appeared before the Heavenly Monarch Ming Xing. Looking at the delicate girl before him, he sighed, "Heavenly Monarch Ming Xing, let go. I won't let you activate the Heavenly Palace's restrictions."

The Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch beside Ming Xing immediately struck out, with the Netherworld Sea surging through space like a roaring tsunami, flowing towards Li Zhengdao. Several deformed weapons were mixed within, each unleashing different powers, all targeting Li Zhengdao's position.

But in the next moment, the Netherworld Sea abruptly changed direction, bypassing Li Zhengdao's position along the twisted space.

Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch was slightly shocked: "Li Zhengdao? Has your Dao Transformation rate also recovered to 160%?"

"160% only... Is it difficult?" Li Zhengdao activated the Heavenly Fortune Divine Law, accompanying the twisted space to resist the Netherworld Sea of Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch once again. Although their bodies and minds remained still, their forces clashed with each other, causing the surrounding space to distort violently.

"If not for my bloodline..."

The cloud qi and the Netherworld Sea fiercely rubbed and collided, unfolding like a storm in the sky.

"If your births hadn't been more favorable than mine..."

With the surge of Primordial Spirit power, Heavenly Monarch Ming Xing suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood, unable to continue wielding the subordinate seal. She looked at Li Zhengdao with a face full of sorrow and indignation: "Deformed weapons? Or some kind of poison? When did this happen?"

"Hmm... About a dozen years ago, I inserted the plague poison of this deformed weapon, the 'Plague Seal,' into your Divine Body." Li Zhengdao spoke slowly: "Now, the poison has already penetrated every corner of your Divine Body and Primordial Spirit..."

Following this move by Li Zhengdao, over ten members of the Heavenly Department suddenly betrayed the ranks of the righteous deities, directly slaying the Divine Bodies of several gods from the Plague Department, forcing out their demon forms, throwing the righteous deities into chaos and resulting in a pursuit by the immortals.

With the Chaos Bell broken, the Heavenly Tribulation blocked, and Chao Feng and other demon kinds taken into the 33 heavens by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the Heavenly Monarch Ming Xing was restrained by the plague poison planted by Li Zhengdao, unable to activate the subordinate seal of the Heavenly Palace. Then, over ten righteous deities from the Heavenly Department turned against them, instantly changing the tableau of the battlefield, with the immortals quickly gaining the upper hand, causing the righteous deities to retreat in defeat.

Seeing the situation become perilous, the Si Yi Heavenly Monarch angrily shouted: "Galaxy! Have you all gone mad?"

Among the more than ten righteous deities turning against them was Galaxy True Monarch, resembling a middle-aged man, who coldly laughed: "This sinking ship of demons is about to go down, why should we die with you?"

As the situation grew increasingly difficult, a hint of retreat appeared in the eyes of several Heavenly Monarchs.

Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch: "The Supreme Heavenly Venerate's cultivation is too strong, with plans too deep; without the God Emperor, we're not their match. Let's retreat, we must bring the God Emperor back!"

Xiang Tiandi: "Wait a moment."

Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch: "Wait for what?! More and more are dying!"

Suddenly... an invisible ripple swept across the scene, causing many celestial deities present to feel a violent change in the Earth's magnetic field.

Before the battle started, Xiang Tiandi had already instructed the Si Yi Heavenly Monarch to activate the extinction-level deformed weapon, the Taiji Xuanqing Seal, which could reverse yin and yang and invert various Dao transformations... However, its side effect would lead to the dispersal of the planet's magnetic field.

The entire Earth, with its magnetic field disappearing, would get its atmosphere torn apart by solar radiation, its oceans evaporated, and all life would cease to exist.

And each activation of the Taiji Xuanqing Seal would accelerate this process. If it continued to be activated, the acceleration would grow ever faster, ultimately resulting in a world-ending catastrophe for the planet.

Li Zhengdao's heart was startled: "These righteous deities... No, it must be Xiang Tiandi, who had prepared for mutual destruction before the war even began?"

Xiang Tiandi coldly said: "I had the Si Yi Heavenly Monarch hide the Taiji Xuanqing Seal in a place where you'll never find it. If you continue the battle, the Taiji Xuanqing Seal will keep activating, consuming the planet's geomagnetic energy..."

Before Xiang Tiandi could finish speaking, suddenly the whole world at that very moment, at that synchronized instant, erupted with crackling sounds as if countless people were clapping in every corner of Central City and the Miluo Heavenly Palace.

In that split second, it seemed as though an invisible wind swept through every corner of the city.

Then the Taiji Xuanqing Seal appeared before Xiang Tiandi, already shattered into two halves, its divine properties lost.

Additionally, there was a damaged scroll and a shattered mirror. These were also extinction-level deformed weapons, the Xian Du Heaven and Earth Diagram which would trigger global freezing, and the Demon Reflection Mirror which would cause massive biological regression.

The Si Yi Heavenly Monarch looked upon this scene in shock, exclaiming: "How could it be? Even the Xian Du Heaven and Earth Diagram and the Demon Reflection Mirror were found... Impossible... How did you find them?"

"Difficult? You haven't even left Central City." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate's voice echoed: "All it takes is searching every corner within a hundred kilometers and in your Luotian Realm all at once."

"It's time to end this, kill them all."

With a flash of purple light, the Immortal Ascension Book gently descended into the Material World. As the bodies of one righteous deity after another shattered, wisps of indescribable, indefinable aura rose from the damaged spots of their divine bodies, flowing towards the position of the Immortal Ascension Book.

...

In the Luotian Realm, Zhou Bai suddenly felt as if a tidal wave of endless power erupted into the disaster's range, the onslaught so fierce that it was described as a hundredfold of before.

Zhou Bai instantly reacted: 'Could it be... time has stopped once already?'

Facing such terrifying attacks in an instant, the mechanical followers beside Zhou Bai were frantically destroyed. By now in the war, scarcely even 10% of the mechanical followers Zhou Bai brought remained, almost all being those with the strongest defensive power, the Void Crown, barely managing to hold out until now.

However, this rapid and explosive offensive significantly boosted Zhou Bai's laziness value, abruptly increasing it by as much as three million points.

Adding in the laziness value gained from the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's attacks over this period, and the occasional gains from the greed disaster affecting the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, as well as the laziness value sold by the Deformed Shadow in the Heavenly Demon base, Zhou Bai's laziness value finally surpassed 35 million points.

"Getting stronger from being hit, this feeling... It's like flying; no wonder one must use it cautiously." Zhou Bai remarked: "I feel like I'm already addicted."

Beside him, Christina cried out: "It's not good, Zhou Bai, those righteous deities can't hold any longer." She pointed to the battlefield, showing the imagery of the battleground transmitted by the Heavenly Demons, reminding: "More and more righteous deities are falling, and moreover..."

"The Immortal Ascension Book has appeared!"
