Chapter 2371: The Celestial Palace’s Demise!
“Aaaaah!”
At the same time, in a distant place, where Heaven’s original body was sealed, there was a massive shudder as Heaven let out a miserable scream. Lava erupted out of the earth and drowned out the entire dimension.
Heaven’s aura plunged as he was dealt an indelible and enormous wound.
Over the eons, the Celestial Palace had granted Heaven an inextinguishable, powerful, and unique strength. This was a strength that no Grotto Heaven realm expert could match. Even the end of the world would not be able to injure Heaven.
This enormous ritual tool had long ago become one with Heaven’s life.
But this was precisely why Heaven’s original body and soul had suffered the greatest wound he had suffered in his life.
Rumble!
At the same time, high above the capital, the Celestial Palace was constantly shuddering, its aura in utter disarray. Large amounts of debris rained down from the sky, and the energy that had previously been gathered gushed out as it went out of control.
Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme could sense that the supreme and ultimate ritual tool of the Celestial God Organization had become like a dimming star, ready to fall at any moment.
“No! Impossible!”
Looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.
Not even the collapse of the world would leave them more shocked than this.
They had already known that Wang Chong’s group had entered the Celestial Palace. Though they were surprised, they had not panicked. No one had even brought up entering the Celestial Palace to help Heaven deal with Wang Chong’s group.
Heaven was undefeatable, particularly inside the Celestial Palace.
This was an absolute belief and trust they had held about Heaven for countless epochs, but now…
Heaven had been defeated!
Heaven’s personal ritual tool had been utterly destroyed, and so had their understanding of the world.
Essence Supreme had followed Heaven for countless years, and he had never imagined that someone would truly be able to do this.
“Come; let’s get out of here!”
As the enormous Celestial Palace began to collapse, extreme panic appeared in Essence Supreme’s eyes.
Heaven’s avatar had been annihilated and had completely disappeared, and that Pantheon Pearl had also been caught up and been obliterated.
Essence Supreme had been able to clearly sense all of this.
They no longer had any foothold in the capital.
If they didn’t leave now, once that Child of Destruction came out, they would all be dead.
Thwish!
Essence Supreme was the first to flee into the void.
Behind him, Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme fled like stray dogs with their tails between their legs.
In just a few seconds, they had completely vanished.
Not long after they had gone, a ripple appeared in the air, and then several more people appeared outside the Celestial Palace—none other than Wang Chong’s group.
“Rest here. You’ve already done your part!”
As Wang Chong spoke, he sent a large amount of Stellar Energy into Li Xuantu’s body.
Li Xuantu was in an extremely battered state. He had grown much thinner and seemed like nothing but bones. Besides that, his breathing was extremely weak and his aura was much fainter.
The gap between him and Heaven was just too great. To stop Heaven and buy time for Wang Chong, this former Crown Prince had even burned up his lifespan, and his condition was disastrous.
Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy greatly improved Li Xuantu’s condition, but he was still weak and unable to battle.
“What about you?”
“Things aren’t finished yet. I still have some things to do. If this Celestial Palace isn’t taken care of properly and it’s allowed to crash into the ground, it will cause even more damage. In addition, I’ve discovered a few things in the Celestial Palace, and if I’m lucky, I can reverse everything that Heaven has done and bring back everyone in the capital!”
“What?!”
Everyone’s eyes brightened at this news, and even Master Guangcheng turned to look.
“Heaven’s plan was not completely finished. He only managed to gather the souls and energy of the three million people in the capital in the Celestial Palace, but he did not complete the final step of sacrificing them. This is where our hopes lie.
“I believe that if I can take control of the Celestial Palace and reverse its power, the souls and energy should return to their bodies,” Wang Chong explained.
“Wonderful!”
Little Nightmare rejoiced at Wang Chong’s words.
Li Xuantu patted Wang Chong on the shoulder and solemnly said, “If that’s true, then I leave everything to you. Please!”
Since Wang Chong had brought it up, he naturally had some confidence, and no one would disturb him now. Li Xuantu quickly drifted down from the sky toward the Imperial Palace.
Bang!
Not long after he had gone, a golden light emerged from Wang Chong’s head, and three identical Wang Chongs emerged from the golden light.
“I have to succeed no matter what!”
Wang Chong had summoned the three Divine Embryo clones from the halo divine tool. Together with his original body, they were positioned in the eastern, southern, western, and northern parts of the Celestial Palace.
With a massive boom, four arms touched the floor of the Celestial Palace, and an enormous energy flowed into the ritual tool.
The ritual tool that had been in the middle of collapsing immediately stabilized.
With a thought from Wang Chong, those four streams of energy gathered into a miniature Celestial Palace that merged into the real one, replacing part of its framework and stabilizing it.
With the help of the Myriad Forms World, Wang Chong was familiar with every part of the Celestial Palace’s structure. He could construct a ‘reverse Celestial Palace’, so he naturally had a way to take control of it.
Boom!
With a great boom, the Celestial Palace became still, everything frozen in place. And then an invisible law energy flowed through the Celestial Palace and made it start working once more.
But this time, the energy of the Celestial Palace was flowing in the opposite direction.
Time slowly passed. At first, there was no change in the Celestial Palace, but within it, the booming grew louder and louder. Soon, with a deafening roar, the Celestial Palace began to revolve, and the connection between the ground and the Celestial Palace was restored.
Light erupted from the Celestial Palace and gushed out. Countless souls traveled along invisible lines toward the surface.
Buzz!
In a certain dark alley, a silk-robed and fat merchant lay face-down on the ground. But a moment later, a golden light descended into his body.
There was no response at first, and then there was a soft groan as the merchant’s body trembled. He took in a deep breath, like it was his first, and then opened his eyes.
At the same time, in a nearby tea house, the green-robed owner of the tea house opened his eyes.
In the streets, hostels, taverns, government offices, the Imperial Palace… golden light descended, and more and more people awoke.
Their eyes were no longer slack, but sharp and clear.
“This… What in the world happened?”
They looked around in blank confusion, having no memory at all of what had occurred.
Whew!
In the sky, Wang Chong spread out his Psychic Energy over the capital, and upon seeing this, he sighed in relief.
Wang Chong immediately poured even more Stellar Energy into the Celestial Palace. The booming from the Celestial Palace grew louder and louder, and more and more golden light deluged the ground.
This was a rain of life.
More and more groans rose from the capital as its denizens opened their eyes and stood back up.
The three million souls that the Celestial Palace had absorbed were returned. Master Guangcheng’s eyes were bright, and his heart rejoiced.
Wang Chong’s efforts had minimized the losses from this disaster.
“Good, good…”
Master Guangcheng truly considered this a blessing.
If Heaven had not been in such a rush to deal with them and had instead waited to offer up all these souls to the Celestial Palace, it truly would have been too late.
This small difference in time had allowed Wang Chong to reverse the Celestial Palace’s damage.
As time passed, Wang Chong took complete control of the Celestial Palace, and even after one hour, there was still a large number of souls raining back onto the ground. At this time, about ninety percent of the people in the capital had awoken. Only two-hundred-thousand-some souls were still left in the Celestial Palace, and Wang Chong was doing his utmost to return every soul.
During the process, the Celestial Palace was still collapsing. Though Wang Chong was doing his best, seventy percent had already collapsed, debris raining down from the sky.
Even the most ordinary piece of debris would still do severe damage to the capital. However, besides a few houses being destroyed, few areas in the capital were damaged, and no one was crushed to death.
From a distance, one could see debris raining down from the Celestial Palace, but after descending several hundred feet, it would disappear as if it had never existed.
This was the work of Wang Chong and his three Divine Embryos.
While controlling the Celestial Palace, they were also using the power of spacetime to open up spacetime passages that would send the debris into the depths of space, thus minimizing the damage.
The Celestial Palace was still operating, the golden rain of life continuing to fall.
Some time later, as the last souls left the Celestial Palace, transforming into golden light and descending to the ground, Wang Chong let out a sigh of relief.
“We finally succeeded!”
