Chapter 479: Landslides and Earthquakes

After receiving the order from Lord Qin, Yang Jian became even more aggressive and flamboyant. The power of his sword was stronger, as he dodged the spells of the Seventeen Star Officials. His Heavenly Eye emitted a strange light, driving back the Eighteen Star Officials in the distance. As he turned around, he raised the War God's Trident high.

Facing the fierce Yang Jian, the Eighteen Star Officials were scared out of their wits. They quickly pushed their palms forward, gathering their magic into a pair of crimson giant palms, like two small mountains blocking their way.

With a swift motion, Yang Jian shattered the crimson giant palms with his sword, and like a shooting star, he splattered the blood of the Eighteen Star Official, decapitating him. As the head of the Eighteen Star Official flew, Yang Jian turned and opened his Heavenly Eye, emitting golden light that incinerated the Eighteen Star Official, leaving no chance for his soul to escape.

"Eighteen!"

The Seventeen and Sixteen Star Officials shouted in grief and anger, looking at Yang Jian with eyes full of hatred, wishing to devour his flesh and blood.

The Fourteen Star Official, who was heavily injured, knelt on the ground, his face covered in blood, staring at the death of the Eighteen Star Official, feeling dazed and confused.

The Fifteen Star Official roared and charged at Yang Jian, but time seemed to slow down. The Fourteen Star Official widened his eyes and suddenly understood why the Great Star Officials had sent them.

It was all a setup!

The five weakest star officials were easily crushed by Yang Jian, which was obviously unreasonable. The Great Star Officials must have wanted to eliminate them to cover up their tracks!

The Fourteen Star Official felt desolate, but he didn't say anything because he believed that the other star officials would also understand this truth. Even so, for the sake of the Wheel of Fate, the other star officials would also take risks.

Their deaths were just to instill fear in the remaining star officials, but this fear could not overcome their greed.

With this in mind, the Fourteen Star Official gritted his teeth and prepared to make the best struggle. He knew he couldn't escape, and the other star officials wouldn't come to his rescue.

The Eighteen Star Officials seemed united, but in reality, there were many secret conspiracies and calculations among them.

With a thud!

Yang Jian's trident pierced the chest of the Sixteen Star Official, and with a burst of magic, the ruins behind the Sixteen Star Official exploded again. Then, with a twist of his hands, Yang Jian directly crushed the flesh of the Sixteen Star Official, splattering blood and flesh.

To prevent any future trouble, Yang Jian once again opened his Heavenly Eye and exterminated the enemy without mercy!

"Is that the Eye of Destruction? It's really domineering," Lord Qin sighed as he watched. Yang Jian's third eye could expand during battle, increasing the pressure on his opponents.

The others also looked on in awe at the ongoing battle. The combat of the six Taiyi Immortals created a storm within a radius of ten miles, with various spectacular spells appearing one after another. Even though they had reached the level of Earth Immortals, they were just spectators at this moment, only able to witness the spectacle without understanding its intricacies.

After killing the Sixteen Star Official, only the Seventeen, Fifteen, and Fourteen Star Officials remained!

Yang Jian showed no mercy as he charged towards them with his trident. With a leap, the ground beneath his feet collapsed, and a circle of air waves spread out, making him soar like a rocket.

"Die!"

Yang Jian's furious shout echoed for hundreds of miles around, and the participants who heard it subconsciously looked in his direction.

The three star officials looked ashen-faced, wanting to escape but it was already too late.

From the perspective of Lord Qin and the others, before half a second had passed, Yang Jian fell like a mountain.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and the ground near Yang Jian erupted, as if a major earthquake was approaching. The fierce wind forced Lord Qin and the others to retreat hastily. They were already more than ten miles away from Yang Jian, yet they were still forced to retreat, showing the terrifying power contained in Yang Jian's previous strike.

The twelve remaining star officials in the Heavenly Palace of Observation all had grim expressions as they watched Yang Jian's strike, feeling apprehensive.

"With such strength, I'm afraid he has already reached the early stage of the Taiyi Immortal Realm," Black Butterfly Fairy commented casually, but she was actually trying to console the other star officials. The implication was simple: don't send star officials of the Taiyi Immortal Realm to their deaths.

Among the star officials, only the top five had broken through to the Taiyi Immortal Realm.

This included her, as she was a Three Star Official.

With this statement, the star officials all looked at the Great Star Official. They could all feel that the five star officials had met their end, and now they wanted to see how the Great Star Official would respond.

"This enmity is irreconcilable! Who is willing to go and kill this person next?" the Great Star Official said in a deep voice, his tone seemingly hiding immense anger.

The others rolled their eyes, cursing the ancestors of the Great Star Official in their hearts.

It was the Great Star Official who forced the five star officials to their deaths, and now he wanted them to go?

Stop daydreaming!

Yao Xu, who had always been critical of the Great Star Official, spoke sarcastically, "I think it's most appropriate for the Great Star Official to take action. If we go and die, it's meaningless and not worth it."

"Yeah, it's better for the Great Star Official to take action!"

"That's right, when the Great Star Official takes action, who can't be defeated?"

"We haven't seen the Great Star Official take action in thousands of years!"

The star officials began to flatter the Great Star Official with a common enemy. If the Great Star Official succeeded, they could target Lord Qin and seize the Wheel of Fate. If not, they could blame the deceased Great Star Official!

Even an enemy that the Great Star Official couldn't defeat, they all together would probably be of no use. It was better to report to the Lord and gain merit. As for whether they would be blamed for not reporting earlier, that was not their concern. They could just shift the blame to the deceased Great Star Official!

Anyone in a position of power in the celestial hierarchy is not to be underestimated, and their depth of cunning is beyond imagination.

In the face of the advice from the celestial officials, the Grand Celestial Official snorted coldly, and his overwhelming aura suddenly erupted, silencing everyone.

"Has this guy become stronger again..." Black Butterfly Fairy glanced at the Grand Celestial Official, and the others also looked at him with fear.

The aura displayed by the Grand Celestial Official was even stronger than Yang Jian's.

"Nine Celestial Officials, Seven Celestial Officials, Six Celestial Officials, you three, go together!"

The Grand Celestial Official said in a deep voice, and the three named celestial officials immediately became angry. They were not the lowest-ranking celestial officials, although they were not as powerful as the Grand Celestial Official, they still had the right to speak.

Yao Xu, the Seven Celestial Official, was the first to confront him, "If we go, we might die. If you go, the enemy will undoubtedly die. Why don't you go?"

"Are you trying to use us as a shield, to eliminate us first?" The Six Celestial Official asked with a sneer.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the Observation Heavenly Palace became extremely eerie.

The hall fell silent, no one dared to speak, or even dared to breathe heavily.

"Hmph, infighting!"

Suddenly, Black Butterfly Fairy stood up and snorted coldly, then disappeared on the spot.

No one stopped her departure, because of her special status, they dared not cause trouble. Even the Grand Celestial Official had no intention of killing her. There were many people in the divine temple pursuing Black Butterfly Fairy, including the Grand Celestial Official.
