Chapter 87: Revolt against the Heavens: Situation of the various allied forces (1)

In the heart of the Nine Serenities, a realm steeped in darkness and despair, two malevolent rulers stood as the epitome of evil. Ruler Ball, a sinister Liquid Metal Ball, and Ruler White, a formidable human, harbored a deep-seated animosity that consumed their very beings. They were the incarnation of all that was wicked, their souls tainted by the darkest of powers.

Ruler White, normally considered the stronger of the two, possessed immense martial prowess and an affinity for manipulating dark energy. With every clash, his power reverberated through the realms, leaving destruction in his wake. He ruled with an iron fist, commanding legions of loyal followers who bowed to his sinister will.

But Ruler Ball was no ordinary opponent. Empowered by the Bone of Imperishable, he stole from Skylark, he had become an elusive and formidable force. The Bone granted him the ability to constantly resurrect, rendering him an unpredictable and vexing foe. No matter how many times Ruler White struck him down, Ruler Ball would rise again, his malevolent laughter echoing through the Nine Serenities.

The anticipation of their inevitable battle hung heavy in the air. The denizens of the Nine Serenities trembled as rumors of their impending clash spread like wildfire. Whispers of an epic confrontation between these titans of darkness ignited both fear and excitement among the inhabitants of this bleak realm.

The day of the battle arrived. As Ruler White heard Zenith Heaven Emperor's deceleration of War against the heaven, he knew according to the vow they made he has to restrain the Eight Nine Serenities Ruler.

Ruler Ball, his liquid metal form gleaming ominously, stands on one side of the future battlefield. His malicious laughter filled the air, setting nerves on edge. Across from him, Ruler White stood tall, his gaze fixed upon his nemesis. Dark energy swirled around him, an ominous sign of the cataclysmic power he possessed.

As their eyes locked, a tangible tension permeated the air. The stage was set, and the dance of death was about to begin. The animosity that had simmered for eons now manifested in this singular moment, as Ruler Ball and Ruler White prepared to unleash their malevolence upon each other.

As they stand opposite each other, Ruler Ball, his metallic form glistening under the dim light, couldn't help but taunt his adversary. "Ah, White. How did you manage to escape my impeccable sealing technique?"

Ruler White, a smug smile playing on his lips, replied, "Fat Ball, your seals were as feeble as your attempts at wit. It seems you've spent too much time rolling around instead of refining your techniques. A shame, really."

Their insults flew back and forth like venomous arrows, each trying to one-up the other. Ruler Ball mockingly exclaimed, "Oh, White, you have quite the tongue. I'd suggest you save your words for after I've defeated you, but I suppose it won't matter once you're silenced forever!"

Ruler White chuckled, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Silenced forever? Is that your plan, Fat Ball? I would love to see you try. I'm sure you'll find a way to trip over your own limbs before you even get close!"

As their banter intensified, the rulers' tempers flared, and their words grew increasingly heated. They hurled curses and threats at each other, their voices echoing through the area.

"May your metal form rust and crumble beneath my superior power!" Ruler White jeered.

Ruler Ball, undeterred, shot back, "And may your arrogance be your downfall, White!"

"You fight like a drunken panda!" Ruler White sneered.

Ruler Ball, feigning shock, retorted, "Oh, the great White compares me to a panda? How fitting, considering your martial skills resemble a clumsy chicken!"

Their desire to kill each other was palpable, their animosity driving their every action. Beneath the humor and mockery lay a deep-rooted hatred that fueled their determination to obliterate their nemesis.

The clash between these two formidable foes will be a battle of wits, strength, and endurance. Each would test the other's limits, seeking to exploit weaknesses and seize any advantage. The outcome of this cataclysmic encounter would reverberate through the Nine Serenities, reshaping the very fabric of this malevolent realm.

As the signal from Zenith Heaven Emperor pierced through the air, Cheng Lin and Blockhead Song sprang into action with unwavering resolve. They were the leaders of the main force, entrusted with the critical task of confronting the Son of Heaven, the final desperate maneuver of the current Heavenly Way.

The Heavenly Way Step Down Alliance has fragmented into numerous small task forces, each with a specific objective, embarked on their missions, each intricately tied to the backup plans devised by their predecessors.

Vajrapāni Temple Great Master and Eight Armed Immemorial Demon Venerable, led a group of skilled cultivators towards their target, the headquarters of the Star Exterminating Cult. Their objective was clear, to dismantle the nefarious organization responsible for countless atrocities and for their allegiance to the Fourth Heaven. With their blades drawn and hearts aflame, they descended upon the stronghold, unleashing a flurry of powerful techniques and formations that shattered the cult's defenses.

Meanwhile, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's Wife, spearheaded another task force in their mission to eliminate the headquarters of the Sun Worshiping Sect. With unwavering determination, they sought to dismantle the twisted organization that serves the Fourth Heaven. Their relentless assaults tore through the sect's defenses and destroyed it until nothing remained.

Simultaneously, another group of cultivators led by Heavenly Aspiration took on the challenge of exterminating all Stellar Doomsday Beings. These evil beings too were created by the Fourth Heaven, making them his loyal subordinates. Stellar Doomsday Beings were instructed to spread the Star Destroying Virus throughout All Heaven and Myriad Realms. After four generations of Heavenly Way they successfully infected the entire world with their malicious virus.

Elsewhere, another task force led by a Scarlet Firmament sought to destroy all Void Sun Protectors. These guardians are the object of worship for the Sun Worshiping Sect and some of the greatest helpers of the Fourth Heaven. They are the protectors of the virus that the Stellar Doomsday Beings spread. Anyone that happens to know about the existence of the virus will get hunted down until they are dead.

Aside from these main forces many more were formed to go after the various branches of the two evil sects.

Completely getting rid of the Fourth Heavens influence means getting rid of all these beings aligned with him, only then can All Heavens and Myriad Realms sigh in relief.

As the various task forces fought tirelessly to achieve their objectives, their efforts converged towards a singular goal, to weaken the foundations of the two allied Heavenly Way's powers. Each small victory resonated with the others, a symphony of rebellion that echoed through the annals of history.
