Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 424 - 59 Subduing the Five Forms Venerable Sage

Unexpectedly, such a sudden change occurred in the room, and Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi could not help but take two steps back.

With their level of strength, the closer they were to a battle of this caliber, the quicker they would die.

The most critical point was... the very Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony inheritor the other party was looking for was themselves.

"Empyrean Kong shi, what should we do?"

Zhang Xuan quietly transmitted his voice.

"Let's observe the situation first. Anyway, for us, none of them are good people..." Empyrean Kong shi replied.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The Five Forms Venerable Sage wanted to strip away the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, and it was obvious that this Crown Prince was also no good person. Since that was the case, it might be better not to get involved at all and just wait for them to fight among themselves.

"Your Highness, what is your intention?"

Shao Ming's face was ashen as he looked up and said, "Do you want to force our loyalty? By doing so against the rites, aren't you afraid of the punishment from the world?"

Prince Yuanqing looked over, exuding a superior air: "With power in hand, what does the world amount to anyway."

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly.

The five Shadow Guards surrounding them received the order and acted simultaneously, unleashing a surge of power in the room in an instant, the air making a whooshing sound.

"If that's the case, let's see Your Highness's abilities then..."

Shao Ming and the others no longer concealed themselves, and with a low shout, they raised both hands: "Heavenly Star Town Evil!"

Whoosh!

As his voice echoed, it was as if stars in the sky were about to fall, a powerful oppressive force filled the entire hall.

"Dare to resist? Courting death!"

A Shadow Guard charged forward, although the person was not yet close, the steel sword in their hand had already met the attack, and in the blink of an eye, the splendid sword qi pierced The Firmament, shattering the meteor in the sky, the massive shockwave spreading out in all directions.

Knowing that such masters fighting would inevitably affect the entire Medicine Sect and even the entire city if not controlled, Elder Jiang Li tapped his foot, and the formation began to operate.

In an instant, the entire room came together like The Firmament itself, no matter how strong the battling forces, none could seep through even a bit.

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi both looked forward at the same time.

To them, a battle between such high-level entities was greatly beneficial, too.

Not only did Shao Ming start to fight, but the Funeral Ceremony Master who held the Soul Summoning Banner also made a move, shaking the banner and causing countless souls to whine as they flew out, the space around them twisting and shaking incessantly, making "creak, creak" noises.

The unique ability of the Soul Summoning Banner... Mourning!

This Mourning was not to disturb the spirit, but to shatter space itself.

As the two engaged, not far off, the Military Ceremony Master clad in Dragon Scale Armor also took action, the spear quivered, and a multitude of martial intents fell like rain.

In a short while, the Propriety, Funeral, Military, Courtesy, and Celebration Ceremony Masters, a total of five, began battling with the five shadows, and the robust aura in the great hall was like towering Giant Waves, even mountains in its presence would be easily crushed to bits.

However, this fierce impact had not yet reached Prince Yuanqing before it all came to a halt, as if there was a world of difference between the two sides.

Zhang Xuan and the others stood behind the opponent, clearly seeing the stormy front where space seemed to be torn apart, but felt no pressure at all.

"So strong..."

Zhang Xuan was shocked.

Although Prince Yuanqing had not yet made a move, his strength was clearly beyond imagination. With this "Draw a Prison" technique alone, he was already invincible.

Boom, boom, boom!

Both sides in the battle frequently deployed tactics, yet they could not determine the victor in a short time.

"Your Highness..." Ren Qiuyao frowned, stepping forward.

"There's no need for you to take action..."

With a faint shake of his head, Prince Yuanqing flicked his finger, and a small token immediately appeared in the air.

Carved from an unknown material, it resembled a seal, with several inscrutable seal characters inscribed on it. As soon as it appeared, it sealed off the surrounding space and slowly fell downwards.

Boom!

Under the token, a series of mountain and river silhouettes emerged. Shao Ming and the others, still fighting the Shadow Guards, had not yet reacted when a heavy oppressive force met them head-on, as if lofty mountains had materialized above their heads.

"This is the Mountain River Order..."

Shao Ming's pupils contracted, and his body trembled involuntarily.

The Mountain River Order symbolized the weight of mountains and rivers as well as the ownership of authority!

Under the whole heavens, there is none who is not the king's land; on the shores of the land, there is none who is not the king's subject!

Royal authority!

"Since you are inheritors of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, you must naturally understand the principle that if the ruler wants his subject to die, the subject has to die. How dare you still resist?"

Boom!

Following a cold snort, Shao Ming and the others' fragments of the heavens shook violently under the pressure of the Mountain River Order, unable to withstand it any longer. Their knees buckled, and they all knelt to the ground at the same time; though their faces were filled with rage, they had no other recourse.

The Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony must abide by rites, and royal authority is indeed the most insurmountable mountain.

Anyone could rebel, but "rites" do not allow it.

"It's too powerful..."

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi looked at each other, both of them falling silent, unable to speak.

The Five Forms Venerable Sage, who had made such a great name for himself, was unimaginably powerful. Now, even when the five of them joined forces, they couldn't even withstand a single token from the Crown Prince...

His strength was truly terrifying.

Prince Yuanqing's expression remained unchanged as he flicked his finger again, directing the five pills that had appeared earlier to fly towards five individuals respectively.

"I can recruit you, and of course, I can also recruit that inheritor of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony. Whoever obeys will stay; the rest are useless..."

Despite their anger, Shao Ming and the others understood the truth in his words.

The Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony was their foundation. If that inheritor were to swear loyalty to this prince, whether they were wanted or not became irrelevant.

After all, controlling the complete Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, one could simply take disciples that could inherit their fragments of the heavens.

If they pledged allegiance early, the life or death of that inheritor became similarly insignificant.

For... this prince would surely strip that person's fragments of the heavens and bestow them upon his own supporters.

Life or death lay within a single thought.

"We are willing to serve as the prince's foot soldiers, to regard the prince's orders as our utmost priority…"

Knowing there was no second option, Shao Ming gritted his teeth and took a pill.

Seeing him take the pill, the remaining four could no longer resist and also took their pills and swallowed them.

As the Medicine Power spread throughout their bodies, they knew they had to follow his commands. No longer struggling, they simultaneously knelt down, their eyes filled with piety.

"Since you have sworn loyalty to me, I naturally will not recruit that other party..."

Pleased with himself, Prince Yuanqing nodded and looked towards the woman not far away: "Ren Qiuyao, take them to investigate if there has been any presence of Demonic Qi in Tianli City recently. Find the controller of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Ren Qiuyao nodded and bowed with a fist clasped: "Your Highness, after finding that person... should I bring them to you?"

Prince Yuanqing shook his head: "Just kill them. The Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony must be under the control of our Tianli Empire. A trivial figure coming from nowhere... is not worthy!"
