Chapter 49

When Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao finished speaking.

The two tokens turned into a ray of light and merged into their bodies.

A strange power suddenly permeated from the two of them, undergoing earth-shaking changes to their bodies and souls.

It was just as Wu Feng said: the God-Conferring Edict token could allow them to break free from the Investiture of the Gods while reshaping their original bodies.

This reshaping was as if their past had been recorded in the River of Fate.

The God-Conferring Edict possessed such vast and great power.

And at this moment, for Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao, the most important thing was to let their souls break free from the Investiture of the Gods.

This was the true power of the God-Conferring Edict.

The invisible power of karma spread along their souls to the depths of the Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court, God-Conferring Platform.

That was where the Investiture of the Gods was placed.

There were heavy guards here, and ordinary people couldn't break in at all.

On the God-Conferring Platform, an opened scroll floated above, with some characters vaguely appearing on it.

If you looked carefully, you could see these characters; some were the names of those conferred gods.

For example, Zhao Gongming, for example, the Three Xiao, etc., could all be found on this Investiture of the Gods.

Since the God-Conferring Great Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods had been placed here, and a long time had passed.

During this time, the Investiture of the Gods here hadn't had any changes or accidents.

After all, the Investiture of the Gods was related to the Heavenly Dao Great Calamity and had connections to the Heavenly Court and even the Saints.

No one would seek death and want to seize the Investiture of the Gods.

Regardless of anything else, the Investiture of the Gods couldn't directly increase a powerhouse's strength; it was more of a symbol, a symbol belonging to the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

Back then, the gods of the Heavenly Court were insufficient, so a Great Calamity was born between heaven and earth, allowing the Heavenly Court to become a force that could truly supervise this world.

And now, Haotian could be considered to have achieved this.

It was just that this achievement wasn't what Haotian wanted to see, but Haotian, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, had no way to deal with it.

So he just placed the Investiture of the Gods on the God-Conferring Platform and didn't bring it to his side.

Suddenly.

"Buzz, buzz..."

The opened Investiture of the Gods began to hum, and wisps of light spread out from this Investiture of the Gods, the light becoming thicker and thicker.

Characters floated out from the Investiture of the Gods.

Doumu Yuanjun, Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, Wen Zhong, Qin Wan... those were the names of those who were on the Investiture of the Gods.

These names represented their respective true spirit imprints.

Their true spirit imprints combined with the Investiture of the Gods, giving them the ability to be immortal and indestructible, but as a result, they also lost their freedom.

"This..."

"How could this be? What happened?"

The surrounding Heavenly Soldiers were shocked; they had no way to deal with the changes in the Investiture of the Gods.

They didn't have the ability to suppress the turmoil of the Investiture of the Gods.

And the Investiture of the Gods was not something they were qualified to touch.

"Quick, quick, go report to His Majesty, tell His Majesty that the Investiture of the Gods has an anomaly," a general said loudly to a Heavenly Soldier.

"Yes, General." The Heavenly Soldier nodded.

Just after this Heavenly Soldier wanted to leave, a faint voice sounded, and a man wearing gorgeous clothing appeared between heaven and earth.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals knelt down respectfully; they didn't even dare to lower their heads.

Because they discovered something that shocked them.

That is to say, this time it wasn't the Jade Emperor who came, but the Jade Emperor's true body.

Because of managing the Investiture of the Gods, this general still knew something about the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

"Go down." Haotian said faintly. "Leave this to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinate takes his leave." The general waved his hand and slowly retreated with the Heavenly Soldiers.

When leaving, these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals didn't raise their heads and left with their heads lowered.

"Investiture of the Gods." Haotian stood in mid-air, watching the changes in the Investiture of the Gods.

It could be said that even he couldn't grasp the changes in the Investiture of the Gods at this time.

"What on earth happened?" Haotian's gaze condensed.

It could be foreseen that the Investiture of the Gods having such changes must mean something had happened.

"Boom, boom..."

An astonishing vibration suddenly erupted from the Investiture of the Gods.

Two characters turned into white light and broke away from the Investiture of the Gods, disappearing in front of Haotian in an instant.

And the Investiture of the Gods slowly returned to calm.

"How is this possible?" Haotian's gaze changed, his eyes widened; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Someone conferred as a god has escaped from the Investiture of the Gods." Haotian gasped.

This kind of thing was truly unbelievable.

It had never happened before, and Haotian didn't think such a thing would happen.

After all, the Investiture of the Gods was, to a certain extent, a product of the Great Calamity.

To break free, one must have the power to contend with the Heavenly Dao.

"The two names just now were Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao." Haotian pondered deeply. "Is this because of the future Great Calamity? Or is it some other problem?"

Haotian thought of the matter of Ksitigarbha attacking Lingshan not long ago; this matter was also extremely shocking.

"Boom..."

An astonishing roaring sound suddenly erupted between heaven and earth, and a terrifying aura made even Haotian feel horrified.

That was the power of heaven and earth, the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

This was the punishment for breaking free from the Investiture of the Gods.

Mount Huaguo.

Dark clouds stretching for tens of thousands of miles surged, with bolts of lightning constantly jumping inside.

This was the power of heaven and earth condensing.

Heaven and earth were about to descend a thunder punishment.

Many Quasi-Saint powerhouses also felt this terrifying aura.

Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

How long had it been since this happened?

Could a Quasi-Saint cause such a vibration? I'm afraid only the legendary Saints could.

Fire Cloud Cave, Lingshan, Heavenly Court, Wuzhuang Temple, North Sea, Netherworld Sea of Blood...

Countless Quasi-Saint powerhouses cast their gazes over.

They wanted to see who exactly caused this change in heaven and earth.

It was just that because the range of this thunder tribulation was too large, even those Quasi-Saint powerhouses couldn't discover in the short term that it was happening at Mount Huaguo.

And above Mount Huaguo.

In the sky covered with dark clouds, a huge eye slowly opened.

Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

That was the true catastrophe of heaven and earth.

It could be said that even a Saint couldn't make the Heavenly Dao have such an attack and reaction.

Immediately after, this Eye of Heavenly Dao cast its gaze toward the grocery store.

The Heavenly Dao could feel that the power interfering with the Investiture of the Gods was permeating from inside.

"Then..."

"Crack..."
