Starting With 100 Million Lives

Other Daoist Venerables also spoke out.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, let it end here!"

"Forcing us to kowtow, I’m afraid you can’t handle it."

"Indeed, why make it so tense? Seems like you’re still too young, completely ignorant..."

Brother Cheng almost burst out laughing at these people.

Just now, when you mocked me, there was no deep hatred, right?

Then why were you so aggressive?

He couldn’t be bothered to argue with these people.

He directly looked at Prince Yi on the side.

"You were the witness to this bet, now they can’t afford to lose and want to break the agreement."

"It’s your turn to step in."

Prince Yi’s face was constipated, what do you mean it’s my turn?

You make it sound like I’m just a tool.

He frowned reluctantly and said, "Why must you have them kowtow? What can you gain from it?"

"Gain a heap of hatred?"

Prince Yi really didn’t want to back Jiang Cheng.

On one side were the real Immortal Officials of the Celestial Palace, all Second and Third Grades.

They were the elite backbone of the Celestial Palace.

On the other side was just a culprit without a Celestial Heart, who ’extorted’ the Celestial Palace earlier.

Where his bias lay was obvious without much thought.

"Such a childish bet, let it pass, why bicker over it..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when Brother Cheng interrupted him.

"A bet is a child’s play, right?"

"Alright, I understand, I’ll treat it as child’s play too."

He deliberately glanced at Yan Yi.

"Sigh, maybe in the future I’ll talk in my sleep, and inadvertently say something important."

This sentence had an underlying meaning, and the Five Divine Monarchs immediately understood it.

If you don’t back me, then I might just explode with the truth.

Telling Yan Yi that I don’t have a Celestial Heart...

Prince Yi’s face immediately turned green.

King Shi jumped out in anger, again starting his tirade,

but this time not against Jiang Cheng, but against Yaolang and Yingchi Daoist Venerables.

"What’s set in stone must be followed, don’t think of evading!"

"You are all Immortal Officials of the Celestial Palace, don’t you know even this rule?"

"Look at how Qiu Yuxuan handled it, why haven’t you all learned yet?"

"What a disgrace!"

"Hurry and finish it, stop dawdling!"

Having experienced it once, Yaolang Daoist Venerable looked as if in mourning.

Whereas Yingchi Daoist Venerable and others were at a loss for words.

Saying it like it’s easy.

All Qiu Yuxuan did was say some unpleasant words, while we need to kneel and call him grandfather, is that really the same?

"We are, after all, Daoist Venerables, and he... what’s his realm?"

"Exactly, is he even worthy?"

Before they could finish, the remaining three Divine Monarchs interrupted.

"Worthy or not?"

"Lost is lost, no nonsense!"

"Need us to break your knees?"

To them, it was crucial that the Celestial Palace could not lose.

The face of these Daoist Venerables and Supremes were irrelevant.

Besides, it’s not like they themselves have to kneel.

Moreover, they brought it upon themselves. Wouldn’t it have been fine not to bet?

Why step on Jiang Cheng with every other? Was there a need?

Facing the threat of the Five Divine Monarchs, the Supremes panicked and knelt.

But it was different for the Daoist Venerables.

"I won’t kneel!"

"Absolutely won’t kneel!"

"With this kneel, how could we face life in the future?"

Led by Yingchi Daoist Venerable, more than ten Daoist Venerables stood tall, clearly unable to afford to lose, yet acting like steadfast warriors.

"Rather die than kneel!"

"Yes, rather die than kneel!"

They stiffened their necks, facing death unflinchingly.

The Five Divine Monarchs were almost incensed.

Darn it, our words no longer work?

When Divine Monarchs command you as Second or Third Grade Immortal Officials, you won’t follow?

King Shi and Prince Yi immediately invoked their Dharma Realm!

"Defying orders? Want to die?"

"Alright, wish granted!"

The moment that Dharma Realm emerged, heaven and earth changed color.

Though it was still the same Reception Hall, it felt entirely different.

Within the Law Space, origin flows endlessly.

Seemingly fused with the Law itself.

With this, there was the terrifying aid of the Divine Monarchs’ Immortal Power Cultivation and Realm Level.

But that wasn’t the scariest part.

The scariest part was that the two Law Spaces actually carried a hint of the Celestial Dao’s aura!

Meaning, their Law Spaces were even granted some Power of the Celestial Dao.

Even Jiang Cheng, who had seen Law Spaces before, couldn’t help but squint.

Compared to the Law Spaces of these two Divine Monarchs, the Dharma Realm of those old Immortal Emperors was laughable.

The Laws empowered with origin and Celestial Dao were almost evolving into new Rules!

In such a Law Space, Divine Monarchs were almost Gods ruling all!

Under such circumstances, who could rise again?

Enveloped by the Law Space, all Daoist Venerables’ faces turned red, sweating profusely, bowing deeply, unable to stand.

Simultaneously, their Immortal Bodies began to crack.

The Law Space was simply like a purgatory.

"We were wrong! Truly wrong..."

The defiant Yingchi Daoist Venerable and others immediately pleaded for mercy.

"Please don’t kill us..."

"Spare us, spare us!"

Their previous determination was just words.

Upon realizing death was so near, they remembered life’s beauty...

"We accept our loss and plea for the Five Divine Monarchs’ forgiveness!"

"Never again..."

"Hmph!"

The Five Divine Monarchs gave a cold snort, then slowly withdrew their Divine Techniques.

Looking at those Daoist Venerables now, there was no trace of their former vigor?

All appeared dispirited, as if seriously wounded after a great battle.

The arrogance and flamboyance in their eyes had vanished without a trace.

Yan Yi and the Three-Eyed Tiger, standing aside, wore heavy expressions, saying nothing, refraining from mocking them at all.

That terrifying pressure just now was simply like the descent of Celestial Power.

The Five Divine Monarchs didn’t even summon their weapons, yet crushed all Daoist Venerables.

It also frightened the two onlookers.

They knew clearly if it had been them, they would’ve fared worse.

Their reactions greatly pleased the Five Divine Monarchs.

This was also a form of intimidation from the Celestial Palace towards the Evil Immortal Realm and the Land of Dao Extinction!

Letting them know, the depths of the Celestial Palace were profound.

With ninety such formidable Divine Monarchs in the Celestial Palace, weren’t they scared?

The five then looked at the ’troublemaker’ Jiang Cheng, curious about how terrified he now appeared, perhaps pale with fright?

What they saw instead was his face full of excitement, as if he had watched a spectacular performance.

Clap clap clap!

He even clapped his hands.

"Impressive, impressive!"

"Your combat power is decent, didn’t let me down."

The corners of the Five Divine Monarchs’ eyes twitched.

This sounded like an elder praising a junior.

Why do you have the confidence to speak this way?

"Truly ignorance is bliss."

King Shi said coldly, "His realm is too low to see the deeper truths."

"Truly pitiful..."
