Here, “offense only, no defense” does not mean completely abandoning defense. Holy artifacts themselves inherently possess a certain level of defensive capability. Even without assistance from a grand defensive formation, their defensive properties are still quite impressive.
Shui Miao made a rough estimate and decided to use the materials obtained from Saint Mother Shui Tianyi to forge the small chessboard killing formation. He would keep his own materials untouched for now, planning to use them later after obtaining the holy artifacts from the Five Execution Deities.
Soon, one holy artifact after another was forged by Shui Miao.
The core formations inside these holy artifacts were all modified by Shui Miao, ensuring that none of them could be taken over by someone else’s spiritual consciousness.
As for the other formations, Shui Miao did not alter them.
One, two, three…
Quenching, awakening, accepting imperial energy…
The process repeated itself over and over…
It felt as if Shui Miao’s Time Tower had transformed into a production line forging factory, continuously producing holy artifacts!
Holy artifacts, which were usually considered distant, mythical treasures in the eyes of ordinary immortals,
Yet now, under Shui Miao’s hands, they were being mass-produced!
Supreme quality, supreme quality, again and again…
Shui Miao couldn’t help but become numb to the endless stream of supreme holy artifacts—it was hard to even imagine producing anything less than supreme quality.
Seeing the emergence of each supreme holy artifact, Saint Mother Shui Tianyi was overjoyed. She felt like grabbing Shui Miao and kissing him passionately.
But Shui Miao remained increasingly calm, pondering instead: what exactly was the Heaven-Seer Lord planning? Why was he so determined to infuse massive imperial energy, ensuring every holy artifact was of supreme quality? Who was he planning to confront?
Was it against his cousin?
That didn’t seem quite right. His cousin, the Celestial Emperor, had long ceased interfering in the affairs of the Immortal Realm, making him practically irrelevant. Why would someone who posed no threat warrant such treachery?
After thinking, Shui Miao felt it unlikely that the Heaven-Seer Lord was targeting the Celestial Emperor.
Yet he couldn’t figure out who else the Heaven-Seer Lord could be so determined to confront.
One holy artifact after another was forged.
Then, Shui Miao forged a supreme holy artifact chessboard, placing all the holy artifacts onto it.
Finally, following Shui Miao’s plan, a terrifying great killing weapon was arranged.
Composed of these supreme holy artifacts, the killing formation’s power was yet to be determined, but its size was enormous.
It floated above Shui Miao’s head like a suspended basketball court!
Of course, all these holy artifacts were under Shui Miao’s control.
In other words, Shui Miao, together with these fourteen supreme holy artifacts, plus the four Emperor-level spirit tools he already possessed, could mobilize the power of eighteen Immortal Emperors.
Terrifying!
Utterly terrifying!
Even Saint Mother Shui Tianyi dared not imagine the kind of immense power Shui Miao could unleash in an instant.
“Sister, it’s time we set off! This time, we don’t need to sneak around anymore…”
With a sudden thought, Shui Miao grabbed Saint Mother Shui Tianyi’s hand and flew onto the small chessboard killing formation. On the chessboard, there was a throne reserved for the general, perfectly sized for both Shui Miao and Shui Tianyi to sit together.
Previously, Shui Miao would never dare to take Shui Tianyi’s hand.
But the situation was different now. Deep down, Shui Miao regarded Shui Tianyi as his sister, so in a moment of excitement, he didn’t think twice.
Shui Tianyi was slightly taken aback, her face instantly blushing.
This was the first time in her life that a man had touched her hand… she wasn’t angry at all. Instead, her heart fluttered with a mix of emotions, a sweet sensation she couldn’t quite explain.
“Boom!”
The spiritual essence of the small chessboard killing formation stirred slightly, instantly shattering the secret chamber into countless tiny grains of sand that scattered into the wind.
Following Shui Miao’s will, the small chessboard killing formation soared into the sky.
Saint Mother Shui Tianyi retrieved her hand, her face flushed with disbelief, saying, “What an incredible aura! And it hasn’t even activated the killing formation yet. I wonder, even if the Heaven-Seer Lord himself came, could this small chessboard killing formation instantly destroy him?”
“They must have even more holy artifacts in their possession!”
At Shui Miao’s thought, the small chessboard killing formation immediately darted forward.
This chessboard not only possessed formidable defensive capabilities but also had effects of swift evasion and concealment.
In the blink of an eye, Shui Miao arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate connecting the Sixth Heaven to the Fifth Heaven.
Since the Five Execution Deities had not yet departed, the Sixth Heaven remained as desolate as before. The gate was tightly shut, guarded only by celestial soldiers and generals, with no ordinary people in sight.
“Who goes there!?”
A large group of celestial generals rushed out.
Since the Heaven-Seer Lord already knew he wasn’t a fool, Saint Mother Shui Tianyi stepped forward coldly and shouted, “Fools! Has it only been a few days, and you’ve already forgotten me!?”
“Ah! It’s Saint Mother!”
“Honored to see you again, Saint Mother…”
Several celestial generals bowed respectfully to Shui Tianyi.
However, the majority of the generals remained still. One leading general saluted and said, “Given the current unusual circumstances, with demons creating exact replicas of real immortals, we must ask the Saint Mother to present her Heaven-Sealing Seal for verification.”
“Insolent! Do you dare question my Heaven-Sealing Seal!?”
Saint Mother Shui Tianyi was furious and was about to unleash her powers to punish the general.
But Shui Miao quickly said, “Sister, please calm down. I actually think these generals are doing the right thing. Their actions deserve our respect. I believe once you show them the Heaven-Sealing Seal, they will obey your every command.”
“…”
Saint Mother Shui Tianyi paused, realizing Shui Miao was right.
Nodding, she changed her tone and addressed the celestial generals, “Fine, for the sake of my younger brother, I’ll show you the Heaven-Sealing Seal.”
With that, Saint Mother Shui Tianyi summoned a large jade square seal, about one meter in diameter, exuding strong spiritual energy.
Seeing the seal, the celestial generals immediately bowed to the Saint Mother.
Just as the celestial generals were bowing, the Five Execution Deities suddenly appeared.
“Who’s this? So mighty!”
“Yeah, even we aren’t this mighty…”
“Ah, Saint Mother Shui Tianyi! Isn’t it said that you’ve gone mad? How come you’re suddenly back?”
“Daring Saint Mother Shui Tianyi, you dare not bow before us Five Execution Deities?”
“Ah? This young man… he must be that puppet-maker. Stop him quickly…”
The Five Execution Deities were all displeased upon seeing Saint Mother Shui Tianyi.
Lv Zheng immediately recognized Shui Miao.
In fact, Shui Miao had sensed the Five Execution Deities watching from afar, so he deliberately concealed the killing formation’s aura.
Upon Lv Zheng’s recognition, Shui Miao suddenly laughed heartily, stood up, and said, “The Five Execution Deities are indeed mighty. But why do I see you more like five bandits? Ever since you arrived at the Sixth Heaven, not a single immortal dares to come out. Relying on your status as the Five Execution Deities and your mid-grade holy artifacts, you do as you please. But no one is perfect. If you yourselves are not virtuous, who gave you the right to oppress others? If you’re not bandits, then what are you?”
“How dare you! You’re about to die and still speak so arrogantly!?”
“Daring Shui Miao, we’ve already uncovered your secrets. You won’t leave here alive today!”
“Hmph! He still thinks his self-destruct holy artifact can harm us. Let me tell you, we’ve all upgraded to holy artifacts for protection.”
“What’s the point of arguing with him? This guy is too annoying. Just capture him and report back.”
“Wait…”
The tempers of the five Execution Deities were all explosive.
But Lv Zheng raised his hand and coldly smiled at Shui Miao, saying, “Shui Miao, in front of all these celestial soldiers and generals, why don’t you explain how we’re bandits? If we are guilty, we’ll punish ourselves in front of everyone.”
“Hahaha…”
Shui Miao suddenly burst into laughter, then abruptly stopped, loudly declaring, “Lv Zheng, you’re truly naive! Do you really think you Five Execution Deities are the most powerful in the world? Since you want to expose your own ugly truths, let me show everyone what kind of people these so-called enforcers of punishment truly are.”
“Whoosh!”
With a wave of his hand, Shui Miao immediately summoned the Mirror of Pursuing Light, which flew into the air, expanding dozens of times to form a massive screen.
Immediately, the Mirror of Pursuing Light displayed images of Lv Zheng’s past misdeeds—such as framing others for his own mistakes, accepting bribes and perverting justice, and even getting drunk and harassing female immortals…
Seeing these images, Lv Zheng’s face turned bright red, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
The scenes in the Mirror of Pursuing Light changed, revealing the many misdeeds of the other Five Execution Deities.
The faces of the other Execution Deities also turned pale one by one.
It was simple: living in the Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years, who could possibly remain completely innocent?
Such a person who never made a mistake simply did not exist.
The Five Execution Deities often engaged in misconduct, sometimes even harassing celestial maidens.
Seeing the vile deeds of the Five Execution Deities, countless celestial soldiers and generals began murmuring among themselves, accompanied by waves of astonished whispers.
The Five Execution Deities looked at each other, clearly feeling very uneasy.
Suddenly, Lv Zheng shouted, “Daring demon Shui Miao! You dare fabricate illusions to defame us! You—you—you deserve to die!”
“Yes, yes! These are all illusions he created! Kill him! Kill him!”
“Shui Miao, you have disrupted the Three Realms and unjustly killed immortals. Your crimes are unforgivable. Today, we shall exercise our authority as enforcers and destroy your soul forever.”
“Stop wasting words! Attack now!”
With that, one of the Execution Deities suddenly activated the Void-Destroying Holy Artifact, aiming to destroy Shui Miao’s Mirror of Pursuing Light. But Shui Miao, with a mere thought, instantly teleported in front of this Execution Deity, forcefully placing his hand on the mid-grade holy artifact containing the Void-Destroying Formation. A surge of overwhelming spiritual power surged into the core formation of the holy artifact, instantly annihilating its spirit!
Combining the power of eighteen Immortal Emperors, the result was indeed monstrous!
At that moment, Shui Miao felt as if he had transformed into an immortal titan ruling over the primordial chaos of the universe.
