Chapter 703: Karmic Retribution!


    <em>BOOM! </em>Like hungry wolves spotting blood-soaked raw meat, the greed of Naraka''s forces was fully unleashed.


    Their gazes swept over the Heavenly Pce, seeing the Constetion Army, countless treasures, glimmering crystals, and naturally, the beautiful celestial maidens and sweet, delicious celestial infants...


    Madness took hold! Complete madness!


    "Kill! Kill!"


    Amidst the deafening roar of the Great Mother, akin to a grand chorus, the eyes of Naraka''s forces turned bloodshot. No devilish magic was needed to corrupt their minds; they willingly became vessels of voracious greed!


    No rallying was required. One by one, demons and devils followed the Great Mother through the Sacred Emperor Barrier, breaking through the encirclement, plunging towards the streets and celestial pces below!


    The battlefield spread from the Sacred Emperor Barrier to the hearnd of the Celestial Court.


    For the imperial family, this was an unbearable catastrophe.


    <em>BOOM! </em>A massive reserve of the Constetion Army surged from the celestial pces below, forming ranks to confront the Great Mother and her army of demons and devils!!The Heaven-Reaching Constetion, Nine Arcanes Constetion, and Martial Peak Constetion descended from the Sacred Emperor Barrier, leading a revitalized portion of the Constetion Army and reinforcements from the 18 Department Legions, charging towards the Great Mother.


    "Anyone who dares enter the Heavenly Pce shall be in without mercy!"


    The furious roar of the Heaven-Reaching Constetion echoed across half the divinend of the Celestial Court.


    His anger highlighted the urgency within.


    Never since its foundation had the Celestial Court allowed any army to prate its divinend—this was a historic first. Now, to speak of humiliation was pointless; at this moment, preserving the glory of the Celestial Court and the lives of the imperial family was of utmost urgency!


    It was a matter of life and death!


    The high and mighty imperial family was now cornered.


    "Stop them, kill! Kill! Kill!"


    The Three Great Constetions tookmand, summoning more of the Constetion Army, striving to hold back the demons and devils that surged into the divinend.


    <em>BOOM! </em>The two forces shed in mid-air, celestial weapons, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils shing against fangs, ws, demon magic, and blood arts, instantly sttering the sky with blood!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    For the first time, that blood sshed upon the magnificent celestial pces of the divinend, as destructive divine might descended, shattering pce after pce. In moments, this serene and exalted ce was transformed into a vortex of blood and ruins!


    This sight undoubtedly tore at the hearts of the Constetion Army!


    But their rage was futile. The insatiable greed of Naraka''s forces dictated everything, and more demons and devils crossed through the Sacred Emperor Barrier, circling and diving towards the rear of the Heavenly Pce. Once inside, any people caught were immediately ughtered, torn apart, and devoured.


    The demon and devils revealed their savage nature to the fullest in that instant, as a blood-red darkness momentarily cloaked the entire Heavenly Pce. Blood rained down, slowly turning the pristine pces into a hellishndscape of death and decay.


    "Kill! Eat! Plunder!"


    The Great Mother, too, seemed mad, herughter—a mix of male and female tones—echoed loudly as her massive mountain of flesh and blood crushed countless pces beneath her. She smotheredrge numbers of the Constetion Army and pce men and women alive, absorbing them into her body and making them part of her growing resentment.


    Looking around, half of the Heavenly Pce was quickly stained red with blood. The flesh mountain moved, growingrger with each step, while the celestial mist turned into a mist of blood, enveloping everything.


    From afar, the cries of the terrified imperial family rose. These beings, born with a silver spoon and ustomed to viewing lives as mere candles or chaff, only now understood the fear of losing their dignity when all their protections were stripped away.


    The cries of despair mixed with maniacalughter formed a chaotic symphony.


    "Haha. Hehe! Chew chew! Kakaka! Hehehe!"


    The Great Mother''s mountain of flesh sprouted countless mouths—human, dog, bird—allughing bizarrely, like a giant snail, she rolled over celestial pce after pce, leaving a trail of slimy destruction.


    "We can''t solve this disaster without killing the Great Mother!"


    Above in the sky, the Three Great Constetions gathered, their faces ashen, lips trembling.


    "Where is His Majesty? Where is the Crown Prince?" The Nine Arcanes Constetion trembled.


    "The Crown Prince is still at the Taiwei Imperial Pce, overseeing everything, while His Majesty is said to be cracking the Immortal Asylum..." the Heaven-Reaching Constetion said.


    "Breaking through the Immortal Asylum makes sense! What''s there to oversee anymore? They''ve breached our home!" the Martial Peak Constetion snarked, his face twisted with rage. "If you ask me, the Crown Prince is nothing but a giant manchild, a good-for-nothing nurtured for thousands of years! Such a waste of devotion!"


    "Shut up!" The Heaven-Reaching Constetion shot him a re. His heart bled, his lips bitten to bleeding, he shakily said, "There''s no point in talking about this now. If we don''t stop her soon, our dynasty''s thousand-year foundation will truly be finished! To be defeated by a corpse demon, even in death, our ancestors would scorn our spines! If those two won''t act, we must sacrifice ourselves first!"


    The Nine Arcanes and Martial Peak Constetions clenched their teeth, breathing heavily. As they opened their eyes, everything they prided themselves on was being ground into the dust by the Great Mother!


    The disappearance of the Five Infernos Star Barrier was too great a blow to their imperial line, leaving only the Sacred Emperor Barrier, a fitting end under these circumstances...


    Now, it seemed, Lu Fan''s strategy was the most lethal!


    "Charge!"


    Although the Martial Peak Constetion was the first to curse the Crown Prince, he was now the first to rush towards the Great Mother.


    "For the eternal prosperity of our imperial dynasty, kill, kill, kill!" the Heaven-Reaching Constetionmanded. Wielding a six-foot sword, the stars shifted as he charged at the Great Mother.


    "Wait for me...!" The Nine Arcanes Constetion followed, her tears streaming down the celestial pces below.


    "Destiny is determined by cause and effect; all things face retribution! The Great Mother was born when our dynasty first utilized the incense offerings! And now, as our dynasty faces cmity with no one to aid, the tide turns eastward... It''s the incense offerings, indeed, that herald our true extinction."


    For the first time, the Nine Arcanes Constetion felt profound regret. Yet, even with reverence in her heart, she could not resist temptation. Now, only a desperate struggle remained.


    In her eyes, the Great Mother was not merely a supreme demon; she was retribution, a destiny. Her countless faces, enraged and anguished, began as human faces—the Great Mother''s core formed of her own human kin!


    "Eat! Eat! Ahahaha! Eat!"


    The human faces on the core of the Great Mother twisted, unleashing towering grievances, filling the entirety of the Celestial Demon Abyss with the stench of blood and flesh. Now, they plunged the Heavenly Pce into a mire of stink, disaster, and bitter resentment.


    <em>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! </em>The attacks from the Three Great Constetions struck the mountain of flesh and blood, sting huge, gaping wounds that spurted blood, shredding theughing faces.


    Yet, the Great Mother did not halt her advance toward the Taiwei Imperial Pce, sprouting countless eyes on her body, which stared fixedly at the Three Great Constetions.


    "Halt! You step further into the realm of our dynasty, and not even your corpse will remain intact!" The Heaven-Reaching Constetion, wielding his massive sword, bellowed with a chilling voice.


    "Not even a corpse? Hehehe, I''m already dead, we are long past being whole corpses..."


    The mountain of fleshughed manically.


    <em>SNAP! CRACKLE! POP! </em>Her enormous mass suddenly contracted, and in front of the Three Great Constetions, she transformed into an eight-foot-tall woman with pale skin, flowing ck hair, and a grotesquely wide, crimson mouth—an eerie, chilling beauty.


    "You...!" Just as the Heaven-Reaching Constetion was about to speak, he suddenly realized the eight-foot woman had vanished.


    He whirled around, his instincts screaming, shing with his sword!


    <em>KLANG! </em>The eight-foot woman caught his Sword Soul with her palm.


    The Sword Soul, containing the might of 83 Sword Prisons, remained utterly still.


    "Great Mother!" The Heaven-Reaching Constetion''s eyes widened in horror.


    As he uttered those words, the Great Mother''s other hand yanked his head from his neck, along with his esophagus, trachea, and windpipe, stuffing them into her gaping maw.


    <em>CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! </em>She crushed his head to pieces, and a mix of red and white blood cascaded from the corners of her mouth.


    With a satisfied look, she closed her eyes and giggled, "The vor of devotion is delicious, so very delicious..."
