Chapter 703: Karmic Retribution!

Chapter 703: Karmic Retribution!

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

Their gazes swept over the Heavenly Palace, seeing the Constellation 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 palaces below!

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

For the imperial family, this was an unbearable catastrophe.

BOOM! A massive reserve of the Constellation Army surged from the celestial palaces below, forming ranks to confront the Great Mother and her army of demons and devils!!

The Heaven-Reaching Constellation, Nine Arcanes Constellation, and Martial Peak Constellation descended from the Sacred Emperor Barrier, leading a revitalized portion of the Constellation Army and reinforcements from the 18 Department Legions, charging towards the Great Mother.

"Anyone who dares enter the Heavenly Palace shall be slain without mercy!"

The furious roar of the Heaven-Reaching Constellation echoed across half the divine land of the Celestial Court.

His anger highlighted the urgency within.

Never since its foundation had the Celestial Court allowed any army to penetrate its divine land—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 Constellations took command, summoning more of the Constellation Army, striving to hold back the demons and devils that surged into the divine land.

BOOM! The two forces clashed in mid-air, celestial weapons, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils clashing against fangs, claws, demon magic, and blood arts, instantly splattering the sky with blood!

For the first time, that blood splashed upon the magnificent celestial palaces of the divine land, as destructive divine might descended, shattering palace after palace. In moments, this serene and exalted place was transformed into a vortex of blood and ruins!

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

"Wait for me...!" The Nine Arcanes Constellation followed, her tears streaming down the celestial palaces 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 calamity 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 Constellation 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 Palace into a mire of stink, disaster, and bitter resentment.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The attacks from the Three Great Constellations struck the mountain of flesh and blood, blasting huge, gaping wounds that spurted blood, shredding the laughing faces.

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

"Halt! You step further into the realm of our dynasty, and not even your corpse will remain intact!" The Heaven-Reaching Constellation, 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 flesh laughed manically.

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

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

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

KLANG! 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 Constellation'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.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! 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 flavor of devotion is delicious, so very delicious..."
