Both sides no longer held back, as the imposing purple aura and the fierce sword light reflected off each other.

The entire Heavenly Court shook unceasingly from the aftermath of the battle.

All immortals of the Heavenly Court watched powerlessly, as the battle between the Jade Emperor and the Eastern King was beyond their involvement, even watching posed a danger.

As for Liu Ming and Lu Shu, they were even worse off, only able to hide within the Heavenly Forge Bureau, relying on the defense array already established to withstand the aftermath.

"Is this the capability of the powerful beings of the Three Realms?" Liu Ming said, looking at the sky with lingering fear.

Due to the distance, with their eyesight, they could not clearly see the combatants in the great battle, only the imposing purple aura and the dazzling sword light that surged from it.

Even just a bit of the power reaching them made the craftsmen of the Heavenly Forge Bureau feel the closeness of death.

"My God, what’s happened to the world, why has the Heavenly Court, peaceful for so long, turned into this state?" an older craftsman said, struggling to accept it.

In his memory, the Heavenly Court had always been the ruler of the Three Realms, constantly beating others, never suffering such an event.

Even when the Great Saint caused Havoc in Heaven, it was only within a very limited area; at least places as remote as the Heavenly Forge Bureau were not affected.

But in recent times, several changes significant enough to impact the Three Realms have occurred consecutively, such that even the people of the Heavenly Forge Bureau could not remain uninvolved, feeling the terrifying waves of the era.

The crowd watched the sky with heavy hearts, praying that the Jade Emperor would prevail.

"Bang!" The sides clashed again, and the Eastern King, looking at his purple robes now shredded into pieces by the Sword Qi, laughed boldly, "It seems you haven’t aged over these many years!"

"Neither have you," said the Jade Emperor softly.

The Treasured Sword swung, and brilliant sword light surged out again. He seemed to want to release all the pressure that had built up over the years. The sky was lit up with exceptionally bright sword light, clearly visible even from the ground.

Powerful cultivators of the Three Realms knew that something capable of changing the history of the Three Realms was happening in the Heavenly Court now.

The Eastern King and the Jade Emperor, the rulers of the old and new Heavenly Courts, were vying for the path exclusively belonging to the Heavenly Emperor.

This kind of contest over the path had not been seen in the Three Realms for many years.

And for many who hoped to advance further, this was an opportunity not to be missed; observing the two strongest contenders vying for the path could clarify their own paths.

Thus, many of the strong cultivators of the Three Realms stared unblinkingly at the sky, awaiting the changes to come, because, barring no surprises, their battle could likely make the elusive Heavenly Dao appear.

In Luzhou in the North, at the Demon Court, Feng Jiu and the Demon Master also focused on this epochal battle.

Looking at the familiar purple aura and Sword Qi, Feng Jiu said with a smile, "I knew it was only a matter of time before these two clashed."

Her tone was full of schadenfreude, clearly holding onto grievances from past defeats.

"After all, it’s a contest over the path; no one wants to back down, but luckily you withdrew in time, or you would have been sucked into it too," said the Demon Master with a sigh.

Feng Jiu’s face showed a bit of embarrassment.

He dared not tell the Demon Master that his initial struggle for the Heavenly Emperor’s throne was purely for fun and had nothing to do with the great path of the Heavenly Emperor.

Later on, it was first due to responsibility since, as the Demon Emperor, he had to consider the entire Demon Clan, and second, because he felt resentful having lost to the Jade Emperor.

Now that he had the Demon Realm as his backing, she naturally prepared to let herself be free and unconstrained, not wanting to fight for that path anymore, thereby avoiding this conflict.

At this moment, Lin Fang, accompanied by Mr. Mo, was still leisurely strolling around Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Mr. Mo was filled with curiosity about the current Human Clan, especially intrigued by some of their architecture and creations, which he found quite eye-opening.

"I must say, although the Human Clan is frail, their creativity is top-notch, and all these dazzling goods really catch the eye," Mr. Mo remarked as he looked around at the merchandise.

On this trip, they had come to a small country in Dongsheng Shenzhou, which, due to its geographical location, had a strong commercial atmosphere. Merchants from all directions came here to do business, which also led to a diverse variety of goods in this country.

And what Mr. Mo enjoyed most was observing these, as he appreciated the creativity they embodied.

"Being the protagonist of Heaven and Earth naturally shows its extraordinary aspects. Compared to other races that excessively pursue power and thus stagnate, the Human Clan has tremendous potential. They possess an incredible learning ability and a formidable reproductive capability. Just give them an opportunity, and they will succeed," Lin Fang also expressed with a sigh.

He too was once a human. Now talking about it, he still felt a sense of pride.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Mo nodded and said, "You’re right. For some long-lived races, perhaps they might wake up to find the Human Clan has proliferated everywhere. Such a race is indeed just lacking an opportunity."

Thus, when the Three Pure Ones chose the Human Clan, this once weak race, constantly bullied by other races, suddenly became strong.

The relentless efforts of countless pioneers ultimately led to the creation of such a powerful race.

The Human Clan today is undoubtedly the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, cherished by heaven and earth, with even the Transformation of Demon Clan shifting towards humans, an irreversible trend.

Therefore, many races in the Three Realms have long accepted their fate, no longer competing with the Human Clan, trying to avoid them as much as possible, and races like the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, even Qilin, have bound themselves together with humans.

As the two were conversing, they suddenly heard someone exclaim and looked up to see purple mists floating in the sky along with dazzling Sword Qi.

Because the distance was too far and the barrier of the mortal dust, the clash of the two forces didn’t affect the Mortal World much, just made the wind feel a bit stronger.

However, the spectacle produced by the intertwined purple mist and Sword Qi caught the attention of all mortals; many believed it to be a sign of an Immortal’s descent and had already started kneeling on the ground to wish devoutly.

Lin Fang and Mr. Mo exchanged glances—they were not naïve mortals. Despite the distance, they could still feel the intensity of the battle.

"It’s the Jade Emperor!" Mr. Mo said, his tone complex.

Mr. Mo had complicated feelings towards the Jade Emperor. They had once been enemies, but after being manipulated became close friends. Though it all started from false memories, their years of companionship had brought a degree of sincerity.

Thus, he didn’t harbor much hatred towards the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor’s feelings towards him were similarly complex, otherwise, he wouldn’t have concealed that information.
