I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 71: Shura's Attack on Heaven

Although the Heavenly Court has not yet fully prospered, the grandeur of the inspection conducted by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West is still quite significant.

Nine true dragons pulled the luxurious carriage adorned with a canopy, pearl curtains, colorful silk drapes, and tinkling jade ornaments.

There were five hundred accompanying fairies and celestial children, all of whom had passed through three heavenly tribulations.

There were also qilins leading the way and phoenixes singing.

As for the Heavenly Soldiers, there were tens of thousands of them.

This inspection of the mortal realm could last anywhere from one to four years.

After all, the boundaries of the Earth Immortal realm are boundless, and the Heavenly Emperor not only inspects the four continents and four seas but also visits some ancient and powerful beings and immortal remnants.

For now, the position of the Heavenly Minister is temporarily held by the Venus Star, who oversees the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

One year later.

Xia Yi had been using his broom to sweep the Extreme Void Starry Sky for five years and was preparing to return to the Heavenly Court to report on his duties.

Just a few months after his rest, the Heavenly Court suddenly rang an urgent bell:

"Dong! Dong! Dong!..."

A total of nine chimes, each one more urgent than the last.

This was the bell that would only ring when the Heavenly Court was under attack by a powerful enemy.

Immediately, countless rays of light soared from the thirty-three heavenly layers, like shooting stars, cutting through the shattered void.

"Asura has indeed attacked Heaven!"

Xia Yi's expression became solemn; what was bound to come would eventually come.

He ascended to the eighteenth heavenly layer on a cloud.

Before long, a portal appeared before him, about a thousand zhang high, with two large pillars supporting an archway. It was resplendent with golden light, auspicious qi, and myriad rays of light. On the archway were the three characters "Southern Gate."

At this moment, many immortals had already gathered in front of the Southern Gate, each with a solemn expression, whispering to each other.

Outside the Heavenly Court, a large mass of dark clouds rolled in, with demonic energy billowing, almost blackening the Heavenly World.

Warships floated in the air, densely packed like a swarm of bees.

Countless demonic cultivators and monsters were hidden among them, their auras as deep as the abyss, terrifying beyond measure.

"How could this be?!"

The Venus Star also hurried over, his face pale, showing an expression of disbelief.

The Asura clan dominated the Netherworld and had great influence in the Earth Immortal realm, with numerous demonic sects and demonic immortals roaming the four continents.

But in the Heavenly World, they had almost no power.

After all, the Heavenly World belonged to the righteous Immortal Gate.

Who could have imagined that the Asura clan would take advantage of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West's inspection of the mortal realm to suddenly attack the Heavenly Court?

Did the figure in the Blood Sea really not regard the Heavenly Emperor, appointed by the Dao Ancestor, as anything?

"Star Lord, the most crucial thing now is to notify the Tianhe Navy to come and guard the Heavenly Court!" Xia Yi suggested.

"Yes! Quickly inform Tianpeng!"

The Venus Star also realized this and immediately instructed the Heavenly Soldiers nearby to shake the Nine Heavens Milky Way Banner.

Outside the Heavenly Court, Asura warships were lined up, each one over a thousand zhang long, emitting demonic light. Thousands of emerald thunderbolts streaked across the sky, dragging long tails of green flames, bombarding the Southern Gate one after another.

The Southern Gate of Heaven trembled, emitting billions of strands of fine light. Countless colorful prohibitions appeared in the sky, resisting the incoming dark thunder.

After all, Tai Bai Venus had lived for countless years. He immediately issued an order to gather the Heavenly Soldiers from various heavens and palaces.

The massive Heavenly Court began to operate, and countless Heavenly Soldiers gathered. Numerous warships flew out, each measuring thousands of zhang in length, majestic and no less inferior to the Asura warships.

These warships were naturally the newly built Magnetic Thunder Godships. It was unexpected that they would be put to use so quickly.

Not far away, a Daoist flew over. He had disheveled hair and bare feet, wearing a purple-gold Eight Trigrams Cloudlight Robe. His black beard fluttered, his eyes were like lightning, and he held a whisk in his hand.

"I greet True Monarch!"

"I greet True Monarch!"

...

The surrounding immortals all saluted respectfully.

At this moment, Tai Bai Venus also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward, saying, "True Monarch, the Heavenly Court is facing a life-or-death crisis. We rely entirely on the divine might of True Monarch!"

True Martial You Sheng True Monarch also spoke, "I will do my best to protect the Heavenly Court!"

Then, he shouted loudly, "The prohibition at the Southern Gate won't last long. Everyone, follow me and kill the enemy!"

After speaking, he led his ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and commanded hundreds of warships to charge out.

The warships in the sky clashed, with radiant light filling the sky. The void shattered, shaking the heavens.

The True Martial army was like a force that could destroy anything. Although the floating Asura warships were wide and large, they were crushed like tofu in the hands of True Martial. Countless Demonic Cultivators were instantly crushed into powder.

"Young True Martial, how dare you act arrogantly in front of me?"

In the largest Asura warship, a three-headed giant python appeared. It resembled a dragon but was not a dragon, resembling a flood dragon but not a flood dragon. It had two huge wings on its back, all black in color. Its eyes were the size of houses, shining with blood-red light, turning the world red. Its body stretched for thousands of zhang, emitting a terrifying aura that made people suffocate.

On top of the python's head was a demonic god. Its body was like a mountain, with bulging muscles as if cast from black iron. It had five hands, with two on each side under its ribs, holding a trident, a sawtooth knife, a skeleton staff, and a wolf-toothed blade. In the middle of its chest, there was also a hand forming a seal, resembling a lotus.

Moreover, the head was square-shaped, with a face on each side, each making a different expression, sometimes holy, sometimes evil, sometimes angry.

It was none other than the demonic god, Da Fen Tian, under the seat of the founder of the Styx River Sect. He was the Heavenly Demon Lord supported by the Eastern Mulberry Emperor. He became a Daoist during the reign of the Heavenly Sovereign and had a formidable reputation, with more than ten million disciples under his command.

True Martial You Sheng True Monarch snorted coldly but did not speak. Instead, he took out a sword, three chi long, ancient and pure green. The blade was not bright, only showing a dark color.

The Sword of Breaking Demons!

It was a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure bestowed by Tai Qing Saint. Its sharpness was no weaker than the Xuan-Yuan Sword, a holy sword of the human realm.

"My sword is also formidable!"

The Great Brahma also took out a blood-red longsword, thin as a cicada's wing. On both sides of the sword, there were three extremely fine blood grooves, covered with blood patterns. Upon closer inspection, they looked like countless bloody eyes, extremely eerie.

It was the Blood Gaze Sword, one of the seven treasures of the Asura.

As soon as the Blood Gaze Sword was used, it immediately split into three blood lines, gathering in the air to form a large net. The net's eyes seemed to be countless bloodshot eyes, emitting a dizzying demonic sound. The Primordial Spirits of the hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers beside it involuntarily separated from their bodies and were sucked onto the blood net, becoming nourishment.

Blood light covered the sky, piercing through the firmament.

True Martial You Sheng True Monarch drew his sword, and a shocking green light, like a green rainbow falling to the ground, slashed towards the Great Brahma.

The two top powers of the Three Realms quickly engaged in battle.

Vast and surging energy surged out, and the immense pressure seemed to press the sky to the ground. The entire Heavenly World seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

"You actually broke through to the Great Principle?"

The Great Brahma was shocked.

The Great Principal Golden Immortals could be said to be the top group standing at the pinnacle of the Three Realms. Every one of them had emerged from the chaos.

Although True Martial was not among the first batch of Heavenly Human Races, he had actually achieved the Great Principle.
