Kill six livestock, using a leather bag for their blood. The bag was filled with blood, and it was hung mid-air and shot with arrows; the blood bursting in the sky resembled the blood of Heaven, and the archer demonstrated power, contending with Heaven. This is called Shooting the Sky.

At least, that is what the historical records left behind suggest.

However, the reality is slightly different from those records.

For example, the blood did not come from the hanging leather bag, but this bow is one of the Military God's Five Weapons.

Passed down from the hands of the Warlord, the Military God's Five Weapons originally had no individual names but were collectively referred to. However, as they were passed down, they were named individually based on their experiences. The name Heavenly Shooting Bow arose from this.

The Military God's Five Weapons, due to their ferocity, received ominous names that became taboo among the people. This lasted until over eight hundred years ago when the Ji Family and the Jiang family divided the Warlord Dao Fruit and sealed it into the Five Weapons, gradually causing the names of the Five Weapons to fade.

Until now!

A blood-red cavity opened in the sky, like a blood-red sun hanging high or a shocking bloody hole, a wound, with blood-like fluids flowing within it, threatening to spill from the sky.

The falling raindrops were dyed red, bringing a vast, enveloping blood rain; the mountains and lands all turned red.

Amid that swaying blood rain, countless bright lights bathed in blood surged into that sun-like cavity.

That was the extracted Incense Fire Thought Power, chaotic and untamed.

Countless chaotic Thought Powers entered the cavity, causing the sky to ripple, like a surge of waves, the bloodiness intensified, and the blood rain poured as if Heaven itself was bleeding.

Heaven had been wounded.

"After more than two hundred years of planning, we have finally taken the first step,"

Luu Tianpeng put down the great bow in his hand and said, "Release the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law and use blood to Sacrifice to Heaven."

The Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law had divided the enemy and also the followers of the Taiping Sect, making it difficult for both sides to gather forces. But now that the initial plan had been achieved and the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law was about to break, it was time to simply release it.

Upon hearing this, Primordial Lord Rain Master and Marquis of Wind immediately operated the Magic Door, dispersing the maintaining Forbidden Technique.

The fog gradually thinned out, no longer as dense as before; visibility improved, and the opposing sides fighting everywhere began to see the situation more clearly.

The earth was already covered with corpses, including Heavenly Soldiers from the court side and Powerful Warriors from the Taiping Sect's side, and even more, were the refugees caught in the middle.

With red eyes, both sides charged at each other in the fading fog, initiating a more savage battle, or rather a war, than before.

The Heavenly Soldiers all came from the Forbidden Army; though they guarded the Imperial City, there was no sign of corruption. After all, the previous Emperors ruled like the merciless machine of Heavenly Dao, and even if they acted like humans, they would not display the negative emotions typical of people, thus ensuring the combat prowess of the Forbidden Army.

The remaining Heavenly Soldiers gathered quickly under the command of the Heavenly General, forming battle formations at the fastest speed, with Dao Fruit Ability and Divine Power unified, rolling forward like a great mountain.

The opposing side was not to be underestimated either.

The sound of wind carried through the rain, directing the followers of the Taiping Sect, with formations led by the Yellow Turban Warriors quickly taking shape, and compared to the Heavenly Soldiers, the Yellow Turban Warriors obeyed commands completely, forming even more rapidly.

Meanwhile, the staggering strength of the wind pushed the refugees from behind, propelling a massive stream of several hundred thousand people forward.

The chaos intensified.

Heavenly Soldiers and Yellow Turban Warriors were locked in combat, causing some of the refugees to be injured or killed, while yet more refugees were driven into this bloody battlefield.

The Yellow Turban Warriors, devoid of intelligence and knowledge, simply followed orders; the refugees panicked, running in all directions; behind the Heavenly Soldiers was a battlefield for the strong, and if their formations were breached, it would mean certain death, leaving them no choice but to fight for survival.

As a result, more and more bodies fell, the blood grew thicker, and even the rainfall couldn't wash away the stench of blood.

"Gather."

A beam of Pure Light suddenly appeared, descending from the sky and illuminating an area of one hundred Zhang radius, causing all the people in that area to vanish instantly.

Mid-air, Jiang Li soared, Pure Light flashing constantly, covering people from both sides and engulfing them within it. After a while, the Heavenly Soldiers reappeared, while the bodies of the Taiping Sect fell to the ground.

He thus cleared the area quickly, gathering and releasing.

"It's Jiang Li."

Back on the Dharma Platform, Thunder God and Mother of Lightning, who had just been pursued by him, could not forget that figure. Thunder God glared at Jiang Li's unharmed arm, grinding his teeth and saying, "Despicable wretch! He was indeed faking his injury."

"With the refugees gathered, the connection to their incense fire is cut, which might affect our grand plan. However, judging by Jiang Li's actions, he probably hasn't refined the Precelestial Human Species Bag from Buddha Country yet and can only gather people batch by batch."

Marquis of Wind frowned deeply and said in a grave tone, "Immortal of Colossal Spirit."

The armored giant god started to move at these words, with heavy steps echoing, a tremendous Divine Power surged, further bolstering the Immortal of Colossal Spirit's aura with waves of momentum.

Whether on the battlefield or at the rear, all Yellow Turban Warriors shared a Qi Mechanism with the Immortal of Colossal Spirit, augmenting their divine presence through his energy.

This was both a strategic formation and the effect of the Immortal of Colossal Spirit's own Dao Fruit Ability "Heavenly Court General."

When the possessor of this ability took charge of forces, he could integrate the momentum of Cultivators on his side with Divine Attributes, augmenting his own presence.

Bolstered thus, the Immortal of Colossal Spirit truly seemed as majestic as the heavens, as vast as the ocean; his gigantic frame moved as if a mountain was shifting.

However, in the next instant, a small figure took command over the Heavenly Weapon Divine Power above the Heavenly Soldiers, his stature swelling rapidly to a height of several dozen Zhang.

It was Yin Tulong!

The Three Altars Sea Meeting Great God also possessed "Heavenly Court General" Divine Skills, taking command of the divine power of all Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, applying "Fatian Xiangdi," his seventy-plus Zhang tall figure appeared, not as large as the Immortal of Colossal Spirit but his stature rose on the Wind and Fire Wheel, not falling short in height.

The two gigantic divine figures, separated by a curtain of red rain, exchanged glances from afar, Yin Tulong made the first move, holding various weapons, and lunged forward riding the Wind and Fire Wheel.

The howling fierce wind swept across a distance of tens of miles, two massive Fire Wheels streaking across the sky over the refugee stream like meteors, suddenly followed by Dragon Roars as multiple Red Dragons burst forth, scrambling to bite towards the front.

Enormous True Fire surged, devouring the air and steaming up large swathes of rain mist, rendering the scene ahead somewhat indistinct.

Stable as Mount Tai, the Immortal of Colossal Spirit faced the roaring Red Dragons, raising his fist, a peerlessly strong Qi wave burst from his arm, releasing a mountain-collapsing force that shook the heavens.

"Giant Spirit Sky-Breaking Hammer."
