Chapter 599: Prison of Heaven's Calamity

Zhang Jian was still greatly surprised.

The Central Celestial Realm is the heartland of the Heavenly Court, this colossal entity.

Who dares to cause chaos?

In Zhang Jian's mind, numerous thoughts flashed, but his first reaction was to notify the gods of the Eternal Ice Fortress, fully activating its forbidden laws.

He also ordered the thirty thousand Eternal Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to maintain the highest level of alert.

At the same time, he proactively contacted the Heavenly Net of Heaven and Earth to gather intelligence on the deep movements within the Heavenly Court.

What surprised Zhang Jian greatly was that, at this moment, the Heavenly Net of Heaven and Earth was completely murky, with many channels entirely severed and communication lost.

With the Heavenly Net of Heaven and Earth losing contact, Zhang Jian could only resort to primitive means to communicate with several special institutions and immortals of the Heavenly Court.

Fortunately, this primitive method of communication remained undisturbed.

His former superior department, the Three Yuan Spirit Officials Hall, was the first to respond, telling him to remain calm and not panic, stating that this commotion was due to an ancient demon god breaking into the Heavenly Court's Chonghua Palace and engaging in battle with the Heavenly Court's powerful beings.

Next was the Lan Tai Dao Palace.

As for the Chonghua Palace, the superior department of the Eternal Immortal Prison, it was currently at the center of the storm and had not responded at all.

Zhang Jian estimated that the entire Chonghua Palace had likely suffered massive destruction.

But Zhang Jian also felt a surge of shock in his heart.

He did not know who it was, but the audacity was staggering—daring to storm even the Chonghua Palace, one of the Six Palaces of the Heavenly Court?

"Your Majesty, what has happened in the Heavenly Court?"

In the Eternal Heavenly Lord's Divine Hall, Ji Shi's face was solemn, hastily awakening from a state of secluded cultivation.

For these thousand years, she had been in seclusion refining that heaven-and-earth treasure, the Nine Nether Soul.

But now, the great Dao laws of the Central Heavenly Court were fluctuating abnormally, and she had been forcibly awakened.

Facing Ji Shi and the various immortal officials' doubts, Zhang Jian voiced his speculation.

"Someone is attacking the Chonghua Palace, the Prison of Heaven's Calamity..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the other immortal officials also couldn't help but be greatly startled.

In their minds, this was simply unimaginable!

The Heavenly Court is a colossal entity in the myriad voids; not targeting other powers is already enough to make others burn high incense in reverence, yet someone actually ran into the Central Heavenly Court to break into the prison—this is nothing short of seeking death.

However, one can also imagine that anyone bold enough to enter the Central Celestial Realm to break into the prison must possess extraordinary strength, beyond imagination.

Boom—

!

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar, Zhang Jian's brow twitched as he saw, from the depths of the void, a terrifying white light sweeping downward, where it passed, countless floating immortal islands and sturdy immortal cities suddenly turned to dust.

The white light's essence could not be discerned; it possessed the power to cleave heaven and earth, and where it passed, even realms were damaged, piercing through multiple vast realms.

"Impudent!"

At this moment, above the azure heavens, Zhang Jian heard a cold, majestic voice in his ear, yet at this moment, the stars flowed and turned, countless starlight paying homage, intertwining at the Northern Polar Zenith, upon a supreme and noble purple qi great star, a peerless figure emerged from within, as if formed at the center of the universe's heaven and earth, Qian Kun, a supreme sovereign, boundless stars intertwining in the void, transforming into a sky-filling aura of destruction descending, capable of wearing down Qian Kun heaven and earth.

Only a deep, resonant voice with texture was heard.

"Ziwei, your cultivation is still far insufficient; relying on you, this effeminate one, you are no match for this god!"

"Arrogant, do you not fear this seat will exterminate your ancient demon god clan root and branch!"

In the cold voice, the vast ancient stars above shifted, one after another terrifying starlight transforming into stellar divine pillars falling from the firmament into the sixth layer of the upper heavenly realm.

"Have we ancient demon gods not long been wanted by the Heavenly Court? Still fear your extermination?"

That majestic voice carried a hint of disdain, yet his form was majestic, and in an instant, he transformed into a headless terrifying giant god, terrifying white light issuing from deep within his palms, sweeping across, where it passed, star after star, along with the star gods seated within them, silently extinguished, destroyed in the invisible.

At this moment, above the firmament, colors became even more variegated, and again a majestic divine shadow came flying, but in an instant, it was blasted away, sinking into vast tracts of earthly realm.

"That headless figure..."

Deep within the Eternal Ice Fortress, Zhang Jian's face changed several times.

In ancient mythology, the ancient demon god clan's war god Xing Tian fought the Heavenly Emperor and had his six yang celestial heads severed, never dying, suppressed beneath Mount Changyang.

After the ancient Heavenly Emperor's rotation, this war god of the ancient demon god clan, amidst the great calamities of the myriad heavens, also vanished without trace.

The headless demon god before them greatly resembled that war god Xing Tian of the ancient demon god clan.

Zhang Jian's heart could almost confirm it.

But now, he has reappeared, running back to the Central Heavenly Court to cause chaos.

This is the terrifying demon god who, in ancient times, could single-handedly battle the Heavenly Court's myriad gods.

Zhang Jian's heart underwent a change.

This Central Heavenly Realm, praised as the safest place in the myriad realms, has actually become an unsafe place.

Zhang Jian's keen and vast spiritual sense at this moment could sense that, after several axe-lights, the vast demonic qi, killing qi, and magical qi were released from the Chonghua Palace, while simultaneously, several axe-lights flew wildly, one of them falling upon the Xuan Tian Wheel of the tenth layer of the heavenly realm.

The heavenly wheel shattered, faintly revealing signs of the apocalypse.

"Is this a coincidence, or is this Great Demon God Xing Tian deliberately doing this..."

Zhang Jian gazed upon the trembling, on-the-verge-of-collapse scenes of the myriad heavenly realms, his expression undergoing violent change.

At the same time, gazing upon those many trembling, on-the-verge-of-collapse heavenly realms, Zhang Jian finally understood what the heavenly mandate of the Purple Hua Immortal Maiden was...

"I never expected it to be like this!"

Zhang Jian's heart harbored a hidden shock.

Meanwhile, orders continued to be issued from deep within the Central Heavenly Court, commanding the gods of the Central Heavenly Court to each suppress their own divine positions, while simultaneously transferring a portion of divine position authority, cultivating their Dao into the Heavenly Net of Heaven and Earth Great Array, to suppress the escaped demon gods, demonic leaders, and sinful immortals from the Chonghua Palace.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Jian immediately directed a portion of his own Daoist immortal light, through the office of the Eternal Heavenly Lord, into the depths of the void.

Zhang Jian felt that a portion of his primordial spirit seemed to transform into stars, integrating into a vast network.

That was an immeasurably vast heavenly net.

Dense and thick, it covered heaven and earth.

Part of himself transformed into something manifested from a divine palace, the divine palace surrounded by dense and thick runic seals, these runic seals strengthening his connection to the heavenly net and earthly trap, yet alleviating part of the heavenly backlash, while suppressing heavenly and earthly power.

This is a high-difficulty cooperative operation.

Zhang Jian had served in the heavenly court for tens of thousands of years, yet this was the first time he encountered such a change, and also the first time he participated.

In the divine palace, Zhang Jian felt that in an instant, the entire heavenly net and earthly trap's power surged.

Moreover, that fluttering heavenly net and earthly trap, as more and more divine power stars merged into it, became extraordinarily magnificent and grand.

Under the control of a third-rank marquis emperor of the heavenly court, part of the heavenly net's power in the southeast activated, countless heavenly nets turning into enormous chaotic vortices, falling from the azure heavens above, part of them heading toward this region, powerful demon gods and foreign demon gods arriving here were instantly seized by the invisible heavenly net.

Yet another part of the foreign demon gods heading toward the earth saw, on the thirty-three layered heavenly realms' earth, similarly appearing earth nets.

This heavenly net and earthly trap shimmered with the power of the heavenly court's myriad immortals, especially sensitive to demonic and evil qi, particularly for immortals and gods who had previously been struck with the sin god seal, possessing targeted suppression.

Among the sin gods of the Splendid Hua Palace, there were no shortage of Dao Lord-level ancient demon gods, ancient sin gods; encountering the power of the heavenly net and earthly trap, they were instantly captured in one net.

On that fifth layer of the heavenly realm, the headless war god, while battling part of the great divine ability users, seeing this scene, a black-gold axe appeared in his hand, instantly slashing toward the heavenly net and earthly trap.

The black-gold axe light slashed forth, as if the azure heavens were split by the axe light, the entire heavenly net and earthly trap trembled.

Yet it did not shatter immediately.

Zhang Jian noticed that in the phantom of the thirty-three layered heavenly realms, divine light burst forth at this moment, merging into the heavenly net and earthly trap, helping the heavenly net and earthly trap block the axe light in the void.

Zhang Jian gazed, yet saw that these divine lights were all magnificent world-pacifying divine artifacts.

There were as many as thirty-two kinds.

The complete number should be thirty-three kinds, missing one.

Zhang Jian gazed toward the direction of the tenth heavenly realm.

The Xuan Tian Wheel of the tenth heavenly realm had just been wounded by an axe, unable to function.

But dealing with these escaped sin immortals and sin gods was more than sufficient.

However, this change went unnoticed by other immortals and gods, but part of the powerful foreign demon monarchs, powerful ancient immortals, and ancient demon sages immediately sensed it, instantly transforming into magnificent demonic qi, evil qi, and divine light heading toward the tenth heavenly realm.

Among them, several were suppressed mid-way by a domineering heavenly emperor manifested in the void, using the heavenly net and earthly trap.

But several others instantly broke into the tenth heavenly realm, battling the realm lord of the tenth heavenly realm, Feng Wu Emperor.

That Feng Wu Emperor was no kind soul; the supreme absolute art of all birds facing the phoenix, in his hands, burst forth with inconceivable miraculous power, as if the tenth heavenly realm had become a sea of fire enveloped by phoenix double wings.

Yet the foreign demon gods and ancient demon gods who fled to the tenth heavenly realm were no ordinary goods.

Most of them possessed profound cultivation, or contained inheritances of ancient divine sanctity.

On their bodies, they had some special means, or special identities making it difficult for the heavenly court to directly slay them, or unable to be directly killed.

Especially the two who followed the ancient divine path, born as powerful beings, were extraordinarily domineering.

One excelled in wielding the power of wind-attribute and spatial great dao laws, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

The heavenly net and earthly trap could not bind or compress his activity space.

Another had his entire body covered with terrifying white-gold divine radiance, tearing apart some void, his power extraordinarily condensed.

At this moment, in the divine palace, through re-established connection with the heavenly net and earthly trap, Zhang Jian also learned part of the details of the heavenly court's turmoil.

The leader of the foreign demon god clan, the ancient demon god Xing Tian, merged with part of the demon lords of the Black Abyss Demon Realm, invaded the heavenly court's Splendid Hua Palace, and opened the Splendid Hua Palace.

Rescued part of the imprisoned death row inmates.

Among those primarily rescued was the ancient demon god Feng Bo before him.

And the ancient demon god Jin Yuan.

At this moment, deep within the heavenly net and earthly trap, a magnificent dao sound transmitted from within, sweeping past the depths of the heavenly net and earthly trap.

"The tenth heavenly realm's world-pacifying divine artifact, the Xuan Tian Wheel, is damaged; can you all have a method to repair divine artifacts? If you can repair the Xuan Tian Wheel, assist my heavenly court in capturing the major criminals, upon success, there will surely be great rewards!"

At this moment, within the heavenly net and earthly trap, the voice of the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor transmitted.

Upon these words, the myriad gods' hearts stirred instantly.

Indeed, this is a good opportunity to rise to prominence.

But that Xuan Tian Wheel is a primordial divine artifact forged by relying on the thirty-three layered heavenly realms, its power approaching the peak of fifth-rank eternal immortal treasures.

Who can have confidence in repairing it?

At this moment, a voice appeared following.

"Your Majesty, this humble immortal wishes to try!"
