Chapter 467: Five Great Heads Descend

This 【Primordial War Seal】 is a fragment that peeled off from the ultimate war weapon 【Conquer Heaven Chart】 personally forged by the Immortal Emperor back then, containing a trace of the true immortal law of war.

Although the rebel army occupied the Celestial Court, they could never take this fragment of the Immortal Emperor's artifact away; they could only seal it in the exchange list, vainly trying to wear down the Immortal Emperor's will with the war seal.

Shou Zheng's voice was full of temptation.

"Please, new master, accept this final inheritance; do not let the Immortal Emperor's lineage be completely cut off here."

Gu Yuan's true form gazed at the ancient seal floating in the light curtain, as if it contained a cosmic battlefield, and finally nodded.

"Yes."

He is not a saintly mother, but neither is he a fool.

A free Immortal Emperor artifact delivered to the door—don't refuse it for free.

"Thank you, new master!"

Shou Zheng excitedly kowtowed again.

He was about to take the 【Primordial War Seal】 out of the light curtain when Gu Yuan raised his hand.

"Senior, I still have a question."

Gu Yuan's eyes grew deep: "Back then, the Immortal Emperor embarked on a campaign to the Boundary Sea, confronting a forbidden existence... what exactly was it?"

Shou Zheng's smile froze instantly, his gold‑red flame eyes flickering violently, as if recalling some terrifying scene.

He remained silent for a long time, then uttered two words in a voice almost like delirium.

"Pollution."

Gu Yuan's complexion changed subtly for the first time.

Again, pollution.

The Extinction Source Power of Zang Tian Ge is also essentially a pollution.

Could it be referring to Zang Tian Ge?

But that's impossible.

If it could heavily wound the Immortal Emperor, then the pollution that has endured for myriad years must at least be of the same rank as the Immortal Emperor.

If the master behind Zang Tian Ge also possessed such power, they could have swept across the heavens long ago—why would they hide like a rat in a sewer?

So… the pollution they speak of probably does not refer to Zang Tian Ge.

Moreover, as things stand now, even the Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Celestial Court must lead the Celestial Court's main force to oppose it, even to the point of dying in battle; the source of this pollution is far more terrifying than he imagined.

Shou Zheng continued: "That is a primordial pollution capable of eroding the Heavenly Dao origin of myriad worlds. Once contaminated, the entire world will descend into distortion and madness; all living things will be transformed into dark beings that know only slaughter and destruction, forever sinking, unable to transcend. It… is the ultimate nemesis of all order."

Saying this, Shou Zheng's voice suddenly dropped, becoming mysteriously secret, as if recounting a forbidden legend: "But… I have once heard some of the Celestial Court's oldest secrets… it is said that the Immortal Emperor was able to surpass myriad ages and ascend to the supreme throne precisely because he also had countless ties to that pollution."

Boom!

Gu Yuan's heart surged with a towering wave, his pupils constricting sharply.

Success through pollution, failure through pollution?

If even the Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Celestial Court needs to rely on this power to reach the pinnacle, then where lies the boundary between so‑called righteousness and evil, order and chaos?

Could it be that the road to supreme power is itself a dance with the abyss?

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Yuan's mind.

He had originally thought that Zang Tian Ge's "Extinction Source Plan" was meant for destruction.

But now it seems perhaps they are merely clumsily imitating some far older, forbidden path, failing to grasp it, and ending up in pure destruction.

This game is larger than he imagined, and the waters of the myriad worlds are deeper than he thought.

Just as Gu Yuan was pondering, Shou Zheng handed over the 【Primordial War Seal】 and the control hub of the entire True Immortal Battlefield to him.

Suddenly, an anomaly arose!

Rumble—!!!

The entire fifth layer 【True Transmission Realm】, and even the whole ruins of the Sending Heaven Palace, began to shake violently!

Above the Heavenly Dome, that purple‑gold canopy, as if torn by an invisible giant hand, gave birth to black spatial rifts that leaked out the terrifying aura of the celestial realm's giants!

Shou Zheng's complexion drastically changed; he jerked his head up, and his gold‑red flame eyes burst with towering rage and killing intent.

"They're here!"

"These damned traitors! They sensed that the Celestial Court's origin had been taken! They actually tore open the spatial barriers, ignoring the backlash of the ancient laws on the True Immortal Battlefield, and descended with their true forms!"

Shou Zheng's voice was filled with urgency; he grabbed at the void, and a bronze compass exuding an ancient aura appeared in his hand, which he shoved straight into Gu Yuan without a glance.

"New master, this is the control hub of the Sending Heaven Palace! Hurry and leave—I will hold the rear for you!"

His words had not yet faded.

Tear—!

The curtain of the fifth layer was violently ripped open by a savage purple‑black bolt of lightning, forming a huge gap tens of thousands of zhang long!

Immediately after, a blurry figure wrapped in endless thunder sea surged through that gap, bringing the pressure to destroy heaven and earth!

Thunder Emperor Ancestor!

"Found it! Right here! The Celestial Court's origin… has vanished!"

The Thunder Emperor Ancestor's violent divine sense swept over the dried‑up Ascension Pool, erupting in a furious roar.

Close behind, a dreamlike chaos formed by the intertwined light and shadow of myriad worlds descended, the vast silhouette of the Holy Lord of Yaochi appearing and fading.

"My 【Primordial Source Dao Disk】… the last thread of cause and effect was severed right here! Villain, get out of my sight!"

The giant of the Western Heaven Buddhist Gate and the demon lord of the Myriad Demon Cave also tore through space in succession, descending with their wills brimming with towering wrath!

Finally, a blazing golden sun slowly rose, and the cold, merciless voice of the Supreme Immortal King echoed throughout the fifth layer.

"Shou Zheng, you watchdog of the Celestial Court, you're still not dead."

The five great giants of the celestial realms descended together!

The terrifying pressure made the entire ruins of the Sending Heaven Palace groan as if unable to bear it, on the verge of total collapse.

The Guardian looked at those five familiar yet hateful figures, and on his carved wooden face a ferocious grin appeared.

His puppet body, which had been somewhat hunched, at this moment slowly straightened.

A supreme pressure, not weaker at all than that of the five great overlords, even more ancient, more vast, more pure, erupted from him with a thunderous blast!

"A bunch of traitors who betray masters and annihilate ancestors dare to act presumptuously before me!"

The Guardian's figure began to dissolve in the dazzling golden light.

In its place rose a majestic divine phantom, towering hundreds of millions of zhang, wearing the Celestial Emperor's battle armor, and holding a Heavenly Decree!

At this moment, he was no longer a puppet; he was the last guardian of the ancient Celestial Court!

"Today, let you rebels taste the Celestial Emperor's wrath!"

The Guardian's voice turned into rolling thunder, actively charging toward those five arrogant overlord figures!

He was buying time for Gu Yuan's departure!
