Shunfeng Er had just cried out when a long whip condensed from silver lightning captured him and Qianli Yan alive and bound them.

Zeus's handsome face was full of coldness. Then, with a hard tug, the two were pulled over.

Just then, a three-pointed double-edged blade flashed past, directly severing Zeus's lightning rope.

Zeus narrowed his eyes. Then, the three-pointed double-edged blade drew a graceful arc and landed in the hands of an extremely handsome man.

The man had a vertical纹 (wén – line, stripe) between his eyebrows, wore silver-white armor, and possessed an extraordinary temperament.

"Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun (Pure Source Wonderful Path True Lord) Yang Jian, greets the three god-kings."

Facing the army of gods led by Zeus, Shiva, and Odin, Yang Jian, holding his three-pointed double-edged blade, remained calm, without the slightest fear.

A pure black, slender, pastoral dog lay prone at his feet, ready to fight alongside its master against the gods.

The god-kings of the other three major divine forces were gathered at the Southern Heavenly Gate. Today, it seemed, there was no escaping a fierce battle.

Silver-white lightning flashed on Zeus's body, like a heavenly judgment.

"Eastern god, are you the only one who dares to come and fight? You are not worthy to speak to me. Let Zhang Bairen come out!"

"哮天犬 (Xiàotiān Quǎn - Howling Celestial Dog), it seems… we are being underestimated," Yang Jian said, stroking the black dog's head. "From the moment the Southern Heavenly Gate was shattered, there was no need for discussion."

The next second, the man and dog disappeared from the spot.

Facing the gods in the sky, Yang Jian actually attacked first!

This was truly taking on ten thousand single-handedly!

Every time the cold light of the three-pointed double-edged blade flashed, a god would inevitably scream and fall.

Before the Southern Heavenly Gate, it was as if it had become a graveyard for gods.

Yang Jian used his seventy-two transformations to shuttle between the gods, like a meteor streaking through the universe, unstoppable by any of the stars in the sky.

Those gods with divine fire burning on their bodies were as fragile as paper in front of Yang Jian's three-pointed double-edged blade.

"Daring to kill the gods of the West, presumptuous!"

Zeus roared, and silver-white lightning exploded from the boundless void, heading straight for Yang Jian.

The mighty lightning struck Yang Jian, who had transformed into a roc. Yang Jian had not expected Zeus, as a god-king, to resort to a sneak attack. He was blasted back into human form, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but there was still no fear on his face.

On the contrary, the three-pointed double-edged blade in his hand pointed directly at Zeus.

"Come, fight me! Let's see if I, Yang Jian, can cut off the head of you Western god-king today!"

Yang Jian's voice echoed across the sky, the vertical纹 (wén – line, stripe) between his eyebrows trembling, faintly showing signs of opening.

Faced with Yang Jian's provocation, the anger in Zeus's eyes intensified, but then he sneered.

"Fight you? Only using violence is what a brute does! Since Zhang Bairen is shrinking back like a tortoise and doesn't dare to come out, I will kill you first today!"

Zeus raised the lightning scepter in his hand, and the Nihilating Divine Lightning gathered at the top of his scepter, the terrifying power of annihilation sweeping through all things.

Beside him, the sun god Apollo, the fire god Hephaestus, the goddess of war Athena, the queen of the gods Hera, and other gods stood out, ready to attack Yang Jian.

However, there was still not a trace of fear on Yang Jian's face.

"Western god-king? What a joke. You want to call for reinforcements? Do you really think my Eastern Heavenly Court is afraid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless clouds and mists gathered above the broken Southern Heavenly Gate behind Yang Jian.

Rumble!

Countless rays of light bloomed between heaven and earth, divine splendor filled the sky, immortal energy steamed, countless auspicious auras fell, light rain scattered, and holy golden lotuses bloomed in the void.

Before the person arrived, a sighing voice rang out first.

"Hey! If someone else was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, I would definitely help out and storm the Hall of Universal Brightness together, but why did it have to be you Western fools?"

"Insolent child, shut up!"

Accompanied by a stern shout, a figure carrying a nine-storied pagoda appeared on the clouds.

"Tota Heavenly King Li Jing, greets the three god-kings."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless heavenly soldiers and generals appeared.

"Third Prince Nezha, greets the three god-kings."

"The Four Heavenly Kings, greet the three god-kings!"

"The Meishan Six Brothers, greet the three god-kings!"

"The Nine Luminaries Star Lords, greet the three god-kings!"

"The Twenty-Eight Constellations, greet the three god-kings!"

The voices of the unyielding gods resounded through the sky, passing through the clouds, and stopping abruptly in front of the three god-kings.

Layer upon layer of divine voices, woven into a large net, crashed down.

Yang Jian, holding the three-pointed double-edged blade, activated the Heaven and Earth Transformation (Fa Tian Xiang Di) and stood at the forefront, his figure upright, looking down on the heavens and all ages, his black hair dancing wildly, and a terrifyingly domineering aura permeated the world.

"Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun Yang Jian, leading the heavenly soldiers and generals, greets the three god-kings!"

Western god-king Zeus, Southern god-king Shiva, Northern god-king Odin.

Facing these three supreme god-kings, Yang Jian had no fear, like a war god standing tall and indomitable.

"Yang Jian, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to start a war of the gods?"

Zeus's face became somewhat unsightly.

He and Shiva and Odin had jointly attacked the Heavenly Court in order to force the Eastern Heavenly Court to yield so that they could profit from it.

But he had not expected that this Yang Jian would be so difficult and resolute, leading the heavenly soldiers and generals to appear without hesitation, looking like he was about to start a big fight.

"You came to my home, broke down my door, and you're asking me if I want to start a war?" Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh at Zeus's bandit logic.

"Yang Jian, I advise you to think carefully! Even if your Heavenly Court is strong, can it really deal with our three god-king forces at the same time?" Zeus shouted sternly.

"Oh? Then tell me, what should I do?" Yang Jian asked with interest.

Hearing this, Zeus secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sneered.

"It's very simple! Cede one-third of the territory of your Eastern Heavenly Court, and then I and the other two god-kings will immediately withdraw our troops! Otherwise, the Eastern gods will be destroyed today!"

Hearing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh loudly at the sky. After laughing, the vertical eye between his eyebrows instantly opened! That vertical eye had a deep gaze, looking down on all living beings, with divine light twinkling between its opening and closing, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed to revolve in the depths of its pupils.

"Then let's start a war. I, Yang Jian, am not in the habit of groveling and ceding territory for peace!"

Yang Jian stood between heaven and earth, the three-pointed double-edged blade pointing straight ahead.

Zeus was furious at these words, and the two god-kings Shiva and Odin also had angry expressions on their faces.

This Yang Jian wanted to start a war at the slightest disagreement, clearly not taking their three god-kings seriously!

"Yang Jian! Don't make a mistake, do you really think you can decide? Let Zhang Bairen come out!" Zeus shouted in a deep voice. He could no longer negotiate with Yang Jian.

Hearing this, Yang Jian glanced coldly at the god-king Zeus and said,

"No need, I can indeed decide. The Zhang Bairen you speak of, who is also the current Jade Emperor, is precisely Yang Jian's ignorant, ignorant, cold-blooded, and ruthless maternal uncle."
