CHAPTER 589: CHAPTER 334 ERA 6: CELESTIAL EMPEROR QIANYUAN, WATER GOD XUANMING!

Heaven.

Celestial Sword Palace.

At the very moment when the four Sword Ancestors were slain by Lu Yuan.

The great Dao roared, laws collapsed.

The sky, originally cloudless for thousands of miles, now appeared like a broken mirror, with countless cracks splitting open.

Crimson blood rain seeped through the cracks, sprinkling every inch of Heaven’s land.

From afar, it looked as if the heavens were weeping.

At this moment.

All living beings in Heaven felt an indescribable sadness in their hearts.

Their mood was heavy, their hearts filled with unease and dread.

Since the ancient battle, Heaven had not experienced such a celestial phenomena for hundreds of thousands of years.

But now.

Endless blood rains, dyeing the world red, even the laws were lamenting.

Not only that.

All the sword cultivators in Heaven were horrified to discover that the treasure swords they carried were suddenly moaning and trembling.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the swords, which directly turned into heaps of scrap iron.

As for the Celestial Sword Palace, the leader in Sword Dao, it felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Massive palace buildings shook violently and collapsed, turning into ruins.

Even the Statue of the Sword Ancestor, symbolizing the authority of the Sword Dao, standing in the grand hall of the Sword Palace, exploded with a bang, killing quite a few disciples of the Sword Palace.

"What on earth happened, why did the Sword Dao laws collapse, could it be something happened to the ancestor?"

The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Palace blacked out before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and almost fainting on the spot.

As the Ancestral God personally appointed by the Celestial Emperor, the Sword Ancestor had been presiding over the Sword Dao laws for hundreds of thousands of years.

If anything happened to him, the entire Celestial Sword Palace would surely be facing mortal peril.

In fact.

Not only the Celestial Sword Palace.

The Demon Race, the Saint Institute, and even the Celestial Court ruling over the Three Thousand Worlds, all were experiencing earth-shattering upheavals at this moment.

The celestial phenomena of heaven’s weeping, the great Dao’s lamentation.

In one day, four Ancestral God strong persons simultaneously fell.

Upon hearing this news, all the Divine Race of Heaven were stunned.

At first, many strong persons refused to believe this, thinking it was someone spreading wild rumors to create panic.

Ancestral God strong persons are exalted beings controlling an authority of law, unparalleled in their stature.

Such great figures, with everlasting lifespans, could shake Heaven with just a stomp of their feet, how could they simply die just like that?

Moreover, four Ancestral Gods falling at once?

Throughout Heaven’s entire history, perhaps only the ancient war back then saw such devastating casualties.

"Our Heaven has billions of deities, yet there are only ever three thousand Ancestral Gods,"

"Such beings of Ancestral God stature may not fall even in tens of thousands of years, there must be hidden motives behind this matter."

This event is too grave.

Even if everyone witnessed the celestial phenomena of heaven’s weeping, no one dared to make a rash judgment.

At this moment, whether it was the other Ancestral God strong persons or the various Heavenly powers, all simultaneously looked up at that magnificent Celestial Palace in the firmament.

In the gaze of everyone’s anticipation.

Emperor-level laws appeared from the void, ultimately condensing into an imposing figure, manifesting before the world.

He donned an Emperor’s Robe, with a crown upon His head.

The robe’s surface was decorated with patterns of mountains, rivers, seas, sun, moon, and stars.

His imperial might was as if a prison, His aura supremely divine and holy, akin to an eternally undimming brilliant sun.

Great is Qianyuan, the origin of all things.

Grand is Kunyu, the life of all things, complying and serving the heavens.

This figure seemed to be the origin of everything, and at the same time, the destination and end of all.

Just by standing in the sky, He made all beings in Heaven feel an unparalleled majesty.

"We pay our respects to Celestial Emperor Qianyuan!"

Seeing this figure, all the beings in Heaven, regardless of their cultivation, or their location, or the important affairs in hand.

Everyone kneeled on one knee, offering reverent obeisance.

"Hail Celestial Emperor Qianyuan!"

"Greetings to Celestial Emperor Qianyuan!"

Their unified voices resounded together, like mountains responding to ocean waves, exhibiting boundless grandeur.

"The four Sword Ancestors misused public resources for personal reincarnation, their deaths are deserved."

The voice of Celestial Emperor Qianyuan, bearing the Celestial Mandate, echoed instantly in everyone’s mind.

"However, they were after all our Celestial Court generals, anyone who offends the Celestial Majesty will be strictly punished."

"Transmit the decree of this Emperor, ordering Red Fire Divine King to lead a hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals to the Lower Realm, and thoroughly investigate this matter immediately."

"Additionally, the authority of the four Sword Ancestors will be temporarily kept by this Emperor."

"A grand ceremony to select the outstanding talents of Heaven will be scheduled to re-inherit the Ancestral Gods’ laws."

The majestic voice of Celestial Emperor Qianyuan resounded through the Three Thousand Worlds, lingering for a long time.

"Celestial Emperor’s wise judgments, we respectfully send off the Celestial Emperor’s honor."

With a unanimous shout, everyone kneeled again in reverence.

Upon hearing this decree, all the Heavenly powers felt a stir in their hearts, instantly understanding Celestial Emperor Qianyuan’s intention.

According to past practices.

When an Ancestral God strong person passed away or accidentally fell, their authority of law should be inherited by their respective faction first.

Unless the faction had no successors, then another inheritor would be selected.

However, the four Sword Ancestors used their authority of law to reincarnate without permission, attempting to monopolize the Celestial Emperor’s inheritance of the Human Race.

This action evidently displeased Celestial Emperor Qianyuan, hence He decided to reclaim the authority, using this opportunity to reprimand the Celestial Sword Palace and the Saint Institute among other powers.

Only with the Celestial Emperor’s bestowal can they ascend to become Ancestral Gods.

If the Celestial Emperor doesn’t grant it, they, in essence, are nothing.

Thinking of these matters, everyone’s hearts became exceedingly fervent.

These are four Ancestral God positions.

Anyone who could obtain even one of the authority of laws could dramatically boost their power, guaranteeing their family’s eternal prosperity.

As for the matter of Red Fire Divine King descending to the Lower Realm, it seemed somewhat insignificant.

Although the fall of the four Sword Ancestors was too abrupt, who asked them to reincarnate to the Lower Realm without permission?
