In the imperial garden of the Heavenly Court.

It was filled with an iridescent immortal light to the brim, and one would feel like they were walking in a dream world if they were here. There were advanced grade spiritual grasses or high grade spiritual roots everywhere. The river that wound through the garden was the purest immortal fluid.

The Great Heavenly Venerate was taking a stroll in the garden, but he seemed distracted. He was thinking about the changes after the Great Abyss Trial as well as the influence of the appearance of the Infinite Realm Auction House.

“Tiabai, do you think the Great Demon Venerate would kill his wife after he comes out of his training?” The Great Heavenly Venerate asked.

He plucked a flower and put it near his nose. As the flowery fragrance tickled his nostrils, his tensed nerves relaxed a bit.

Star Lord Taibai was stunned at the question for a moment before replying with a smile, “Your Majesty, there’s no man in this world who can tolerate something like that. However, his wife is kind of special, so even if he wants to kill her, it’s very unlikely that he would do it. After all, she was the disciple of the Saint Demon. She maintains a good relationship with a few ancient beings in the Abyss, not to mention that she’s pretty powerful herself.”

“Looking from the greater picture, he shouldn’t kill her, but emotionally speaking, even I would look down on him if he doesnt’ kill her!” The Great Heavenly Venerate blew the flower away and stood with his hands behind his back. “Not only is he a man, but he’s the first person in the Abyss. He can be forgiven if he doesn’t know his wife has been cheating on him, but now that the news is spreading all over the place, he’ll become the laughing stock of the Abyss. He’ll even develop a heart demon, and that will be interesting.”

“We don’t have to worry about anything even if the Great Demon Venerate develops a heart demon!” Star Lord Taibai said. “But I’m afraid all of the venerates are waiting for him to come out of his seclusion! They’re waiting to see his reaction! After all, for those old guys, they wouldn’t have an interesting event like this every day!”

“Haha…” The Great Heavenly Venerate laughed, and then he froze. A surprised expression crawled upon his face as he disappeared in the next second.

“What…” Star Lord Taibai’s eyes grew wide as his face set in a horrified expression. “This is the power of the Holy Dao. How can there be such a terrifying power in the world nowaday? Hold on for a second. This isn’t right… This is…”

His face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. In the next, he disappeared from the garden and came to the Great Heavenly Venerate’s side.

Right now, both of them were standing under the sky.

The World Monitoring Mirror was hovering in front of the Great Heavenly Venerate. It emitted a blinding like and it was showing the things happening in the Abyss.

“This is the deepest part of the Abyss, and… And it has been punctured?!” Star Lord Taibai shuddered and his face turned pale. “Your Majesty, that thing we sensed just now… It… It seems to contain the power from the Heavenly Court…”

“That’s the Hand of Heaven!” The Great Heavenly Venerate’s face was dark, “It’s a peerless special ability I developed. Once cast, it will draw power from the Heavenly Court to deliver a powerful attack on its target. But… But how would it appear in the Abyss?”

He had never told anyone about the Hand of Heaven after he had developed it. He treated it as his trump card, and yet, someone had cast it upon the Abyss.

“How is that possible?” Star Lord Taibai was shocked.

After a short while, the Great Heavenly Venerate closed his eyes and said, “Ghost-Faced Demon Venerate, Tian Yuan Demon Venerate, and Black Fox Demon Venerate are dead. Their existence has been completely wiped out from the universe. They can’t come back anymore! Taibai, why would an attack like that appear in the abyss? How did three Demon Venerates die? Who struck them? What is his purpose? What will happen next?”

“Your Majesty, I… I…” Star Lord Taibai stammered. He did not even need to think deeply and he already knew what would happen next.

This definitely would have a much greater impact than the one caused by the Great Abyss Trial.

He took a deep breath, braced himself, and asked, “Your Majesty, are you sure this is the special ability that you developed? And are you sure you’re the only one who knows this special ability?”

“I’m very sure of it!” The Great Heavenly Venerate nodded.

“Who can do this? Saint Lord? I’m afraid not even a Saint Lord can do that either!” Star Lord Taibai had already calmed himself down. The fire of wisdom flared in his eyes as he began to analyze the situation. “There can only be one explanation. Someone has learned the special ability as well!”

The Great Heavenly Venerate did not say anything.

Star Lord Taibai continued, “I’m sure the reason he did so is to kill the demon, but I didn’t expect that three Demon Venerates would die from that attack. Under the Great Abyss Trial, the battle of the Infinite Realms Battlefield, and the appearance of the Infinite Realm Auction House, they gathered up to discuss countermeasures. That’s why that person could kill three of them at once.

“No matter who he is and where he comes from, he is an enemy of the Abyss! But if he’s really that powerful, he wouldn’t have just stopped there. He should be planning his second strike, and if he doesn’t, things will turn bad.”

As Star Lord Taibai was talking, he saw a burly young man with purple and gold horns on his head appeared in the World Monitoring Mirror. He seemed to have sensed them and raised his head to look at them, his gaze cold and filled with rage.

“Qian Yang, how dare you! Do you really think the Abyss is a pushover, and that you can do whatever you want here?” The young man shouted. In the next second, two divine lights shot out of his eyes and the World Monitoring Mirror blurred, preventing them from knowing what was happening on the other side. Then, a voice pierced through the layers of space and came into their head. “Qian Yang, just you wait!”

“The Great Demon Venerate is here!” Star Lord Taibai exclaimed, “It seems that he wasn’t affected by the attack, and that person who launched the attack was gone. Your Majesty, this is bad!”

The Great Heavenly Venerate did not say anything.

Star Lord Taibai continued, “That attack contains the power of the Heavenly Court. This clearly tells the people that this is something that only a Venerable Immortal who controls the power of the Heavenly Court can deliver.

“Your Majesty, someone wants to make you their scapegoat!

“Although you’re in the Heavenly Court and we can be your witness, no one will believe in you.

‘After all, you can form a clone to attack the Abyss!

“Your Majesty, if everything I said is the truth, then I’m afraid the person must be someone extraordinarily powerful! After all, he can cast the special ability that you have never told anyone about!

“I can’t think of any other better explanation if this isn’t a conspiracy!

“If everything is just like what I said and he’s trying to make you his scapegoat, then his intention is to trigger the hatred of the Abyss as well as to intimidate other Great Monarchs in the Heavenly Realm. After all, no one wants to see you going all out. I’m sure the Great Demon Venerate would be coming for us. When that happens, Lord Buddha, Lord Dragon, and…”

Star Lord Taibai came to an abrupt stop before he could finish his sentence.

“Goal, purpose!” The Great Heavenly Venerate closed his eyes.

“Goal?” Star Lord Taibai was stumped. After a short while, he said, “There shouldn’t be a Great Monarch like this in this universe under the Heavenly Court. Most likely he is from the Infinite Realm Auction House, or just like the Infinite Realm Auction House, he comes from an unknown world and his goal is to bring the Heavenly Court down and throw the world into chaos.”

The Great Heavenly Venerate laughed, “Even if he has a powerful special ability, the fact that he resorts to a petty trick like this means he’s not confident. Besides, there’s no one who can defeat me other than the Saint Lord.”

The Land of Ultimate Bliss of the Fo Sect.

It was filled with the light of Buddha all year round here. Those who stood in the Buddha light would open their hearts, cast away their obsessions, and dark thoughts. They would eventually lay down in a prostrate position and said with a compassionate smile, “Amitabha.”

At this moment, a golden lotus platform appeared. There was a Buddha with drooping ears sitting on top of it and he was looking toward the Abyss.

“Someone has punctured the Abyss in one strike? Is that the power of the Heavenly Court? Does this mean that it’s the Great Heavenly Venerate’s doing? But why would he do something like this when the Great Abyss Trial has been activated? Is it because he’s worried that the Great Demon Venerate would get something from the Infinite Realm Auction House? No, the Great Demon Venerate survives the attack, so is he intimidating us? There is no need for any of it at all. Hmm, this is strange. Anyway, regardless of his intention, the Great Heavenly Venerate is too powerful. And now, with the Abyss sustaining such a great loss, I’m sure the Great Demon Venerate would not just sit idly and do nothing.”

Various thoughts flitted across Lord Buddha’s head. He then closed his eyes and contacted other ancient beings such as Lord Dragon.

Chuyang Peak.

A shocking expression appeared on Jiang Ming’s face when his clone returned.

“The Hand of Heaven is powerful!” He mumbled.

“Senior brother, your hand is more powerful than the Hand of Heaven… Senior brother, what happened to your hand? It has become bigger!”

Phoenix Linglong had a lot of confidence in her senior brother. She knew more than anyone else how powerful his hands were.
