My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 451: The Judgment of Justice, Expulsion from Manhood!

Purple Fate Ancestor was filled with worry, deeply disappointed in that person from Black Demon Abyss.
"Damn it, if I ever ask him for help again, I’m worse than a pig or a dog!"

He was seething with anger, even cursing, utterly disregarding the dignity expected of a Grand Supreme Truth cultivator.

For the sake of Black Sword's ascension and the greater plan, he had swallowed his pride for many years. Despite his past conflicts with his master, he had repeatedly exhausted his own essence energy for the good of Black Demon Abyss.

One could say that he had done more than enough.

But now, his master’s indifference left him feeling bitter and powerless.

"Those blessed with great fortune won’t fall so easily. Besides, his talent far surpasses Ghost Heaven’s expectations, and with the protective treasure I gave him, he’ll definitely be fine!"

Purple Fate Ancestor reassured himself.

...

Elsewhere, in the strange land, the winds howled, and malevolent spirits filled the air, stretching across the void.

A massive Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner hung in the sky, its blood-red flag emitting a chilling, murderous aura as countless ghostly souls wailed.

The entire landscape resembled a living hell, ravaged and desolate.

Pale, giant hands descended from the sky, visible throughout the shattered realm.

A terrifying voice echoed through the air.

"Blood Robe, there’s no use hiding. I can see you."

Great Bliss Celestial appeared, smiling as if he were a compassionate Buddha.

Upon entering the strange land, his power had dropped to the peak of the Mythical level.

Such were the rules of this strange land.

Outside of it, he might have been able to refine the land with his overwhelming power. But once inside, he was no longer in control, reduced to the level of Mythical beings.

These were the rules of heaven and earth.

Only those who had comprehended Supreme Truths could resist such forces.

At this moment, Qi Yuan, draped in his blood-red robe, stood on the ground, his expression calm as he stared at the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner with a look of delight.
"Isn’t this my dream treasure, the Human Emperor Banner?"

Qi Yuan’s reaction didn’t surprise Great Bliss Celestial.

Prodigies like Blood Robe naturally carried protective charms.

For someone like Great Bliss, even though he was a Yang God, inside this strange land, he wasn’t necessarily a match for a prodigy like Blood Robe.

"You may be calm now, but soon enough... you won’t be smiling anymore," Great Bliss Celestial said as he gripped the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, his voice carrying a chilling, sinister tone.

"What gives you the right to assume how I feel? Whether I smile or not is none of your business," Qi Yuan retorted.

Great Bliss Celestial’s smile only deepened.

The more Blood Robe laughed now, the more despair he would feel later.

"Blood Robe, you didn’t expect... me, did you?"

Suddenly, a vast, terrifying presence appeared behind Great Bliss Celestial.

A familiar face emerged.

It was none other than God Blood Celestial.

He looked at Qi Yuan, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"Ah? God Blood?" Qi Yuan was a bit surprised at the sight.

God Blood Celestial seemed pleased by Qi Yuan’s reaction.

But then Qi Yuan spoke again.

"Hey, didn’t you already admit it was Demon Eye Celestial who killed your granddaughter? I don’t even know Demon Eye Celestial. Her death had nothing to do with me. So why are you coming after me?" Qi Yuan protested, his voice full of indignation.

In situations like this, assassinations were typically swift and without much talk.

But at their level, these exchanges took place within the span of a single breath.

While they spoke, Great Bliss and God Blood Celestial were also sealing off the area, ensuring Qi Yuan couldn’t escape and cutting off any interference from other Yang Gods.

God Blood Celestial’s fury only intensified at Qi Yuan’s words. He gritted his teeth and growled,
"Back in the Supreme Truth Heaven, when you humiliated me, did you not foresee the consequences?"

The events of the Supreme Truth Heaven were etched deeply in God Blood Celestial’s memory.

His granddaughter had been killed, and Blood Robe had shamelessly lied, claiming he didn’t know Demon Eye Celestial, the killer.

Anyone with half a brain knew that Blood Robe was acquainted with Demon Eye Celestial.

And the acting? Absolutely terrible—he had practically forced God Blood Celestial to admit defeat.

Such an unbearable humiliation, and God Blood Celestial had no choice but to endure it back then.

"When did I humiliate you? I had witnesses and evidence. I don’t even know Demon Eye Celestial! Do you want me to call him here to testify?" Qi Yuan, ever reasonable, countered.

"Blood Robe, playing dumb won’t work, and neither will stalling for time.

This entire area has been sealed by us. Even Purple Fate Ancestor won’t be able to find you here. No one can save you.
As for Demon Eye Celestial... even if he were your lapdog, he won’t show up here!" God Blood Celestial said, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.

With the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner sealing the area, only the three of them were left in this desolate trap. No one else would appear.

"Shrimp-head man! Not only are you slandering me, but you’re also spreading lies about Demon Eye Celestial!" Qi Yuan shouted angrily.

For some reason, after Qi Yuan’s outburst, God Blood Celestial suddenly felt an overwhelming force sweep over him. His head briefly transformed into that of a shrimp!

Panicked, he quickly returned his head to normal, looking at Qi Yuan with fear.

"Is this a contingency left behind by Purple Fate Ancestor? No wonder you’re so calm..." God Blood Celestial was wary but not afraid.

No matter how powerful Purple Fate Ancestor was, he wasn’t physically present. Killing Blood Robe here would still be an easy task.

"Typical! When you can’t win an argument, you resort to distractions?

Hmph, it’s a good thing I’m clever and always keep my evidence with me. I knew someone would try to frame me someday.

Demon Eye Celestial! Come out here and tell him yourself—do we know each other? Did I tell you to kill God Blood Celestial’s granddaughter?" Qi Yuan shouted.

God Blood Celestial tensed up for a moment but quickly relaxed again. "This place is sealed. No other Yang God Celestial can enter. Blood Robe, these tricks are pointless..."

Great Bliss Celestial chuckled at the scene and said to Qi Yuan, "You can shout all you want, but no one is coming to save you."

The area had already been sealed. The preparations were complete. It was time to strike.

The conversation had gone on long enough.

But just as they were about to make their move, Great Bliss and God Blood Celestial’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Before their eyes, a hole suddenly appeared in Qi Yuan’s abdomen.

A terrifying aura emerged from the hole.

In an instant, a gray-black figure stepped out from Qi Yuan’s body, smiling warmly.

"I can testify—Demon Eye Celestial doesn’t know this Blood Robe at all!"

The figure that had just walked out of Qi Yuan’s body was none other than Demon Eye Celestial!

Both God Blood and Great Bliss were terrified, their expressions changing drastically.

This couldn’t be real!

It made no sense!

Even a Grand Supreme Truth couldn’t bypass their watchful eyes and enter here.

Yet Demon Eye Celestial had just stepped out of Blood Robe’s stomach. What was going on?

Something was very wrong.

"The witness is here. What do you have to say now?" Qi Yuan said smugly. "I don’t know Demon Eye Celestial, and that’s the truth!"

"Right. Demon Eye Celestial and Blood Robe aren’t acquaintances," Demon Eye Celestial chimed in.

The scene was utterly bizarre.

For reasons he couldn’t explain, a deep-seated fear suddenly welled up inside God Blood Celestial.

This kind of fear was ancient, reminding him of the time before he had entered the path of cultivation, back when he encountered ghostly beings.

His mind flashed back to the moment when his head had briefly turned into a shrimp. The memory sent chills down his spine.

Still, he tried to remain composed and said, "Even if you’re here, Demon Eye Celestial, you won’t escape death. The Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner will ensure it!"

"The witness isn’t enough?" Qi Yuan’s anger flared.

The moral fabric of the cultivation world had truly decayed.

Even with a witness present, they still wouldn’t admit their wrongdoing?

"Seems like we need a jury and a judge to finally make you confess!"

Qi Yuan couldn’t hide his frustration.

"Appear, judges of justice, the righteous jury! Today, we will deliver justice to this shrimp-headed man!"

"Heaven and earth, hear my call! Bring forth judgment upon the heavens!"

As Qi Yuan spoke, a terrifying black hole appeared in front of his abdomen.

One by one, terrifying auras began to emerge from the dark void.

"The Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, Qinghua, heed my command. Take charge of the Wind and Thunder Inferno, and strike with the power of lightning. Mark the evildoers in the black ledger!"

"The Lord of the Nine Heavens, Thunder’s Echo, heed my command. The thunder is the pivot of yin and yang, the root of all things. Without thunder, there can be no dominion over the three realms!"

...

"Gaoyao, heed my command! You, who are wise in the five punishments, assist in the teaching of the five virtues!"

In an instant, nearly a hundred Yang God Celestials stepped out from the black hole, surrounding Qi Yuan like personal guards.

Each one exuded an aura so vast and profound that it seemed unfathomable.

These weren’t ordinary Yang Gods!

Both God Blood and Great Bliss stared in horror, their faces growing paler by the second.

What was this creature?

How could he summon so many terrifying and mysterious Yang Gods from his body?

Wasn't this supposed to be a simple assassination?

The two of them felt like they had unwittingly stepped into a terrifying whirlpool.

They were petrified and filled with dread, already thinking of retreating.

Then, Qi Yuan’s arrogant voice rang out again.

"These are all renowned judges, members of the jury, and even gods of justice. Now, tell this old shrimp-headed man whether or not I know Demon Eye Celestial!

And isn’t this God Blood slandering me?"

Gaoyao, the god of justice, stroked his beard, his presence radiating authority.

"The master has indeed met Demon Eye Celestial, but he imprisoned him. Thus, it cannot be said that they ‘know’ each other.

Therefore, God Blood… your accusations are false. You are guilty of slander!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan beamed with satisfaction. "See? Even the god of justice says I’m innocent! And yet, you slander me, shrimp-head! You’re dragging down the moral standards of men. You should be expelled from manhood!"

Then, as if he’d remembered something, Qi Yuan added:

"Although Gaoyao calls me ‘master,’ he’s the god of justice. He’s impartial and fair. He wouldn’t be biased toward me. So, God Blood Celestial, do you still refuse to admit your guilt?"

Qi Yuan’s shout thundered through the air like a storm.

God Blood Celestial looked at Qi Yuan, his expression complicated.

Then, suddenly, everything clicked for him.

He recalled how his head had mysteriously turned into that of a shrimp, that sensation of some kind of Supreme Truth at work.

He also thought about the appearance of Demon Eye Celestial and all those bizarre Yang Gods.

"You... you’re Celestial Molo?"

God Blood Celestial was utterly shocked—and terrified.

The person standing before him was none other than Celestial Molo!

Great Bliss Celestial was just as stunned.

It was that terrifying Molo Celestial!

If that were the case, then it all made sense.

After all, Celestial Molo had comprehended not one but two Supreme Truths.

Having so many strange Yang Gods around him didn’t seem as far-fetched now.

Without hesitation, God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials immediately turned to flee.

The situation had grown far too bizarre.

This Blood Robe—or rather, Molo Celestial—wasn’t a normal Yang God.

What kind of Yang God had nearly a hundred other Yang Gods living inside them?

Qi Yuan watched them flee, unconcerned. His voice boomed with righteousness:

"Hmph! You won’t escape punishment! Since you’ve confessed, it’s time for you to die!"

Old Man Shenlei took a step forward.

"The thunder of the Nine Heavens, gather to form the Prison of Lightning. Capture them!"

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, Qinghua, exuded an infinite, majestic presence. His voice was cold:

"Great Bliss, God Blood, your names are now written in the Black Ledger!"

One by one, the Yang God Celestials spoke, their divine voices transforming into chains that bound God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials.

God Blood Celestial panicked, struggling to break free.

Great Bliss Celestial waved the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, attempting to escape, and countless wailing spirits roared.

But under the assault of nearly a hundred Yang Gods, their resistance looked almost laughable—pathetic even.

"Expelled from manhood!"

At that moment, Qi Yuan executed judgment upon God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials.

Now at the Martial God of Myriad Daos level, having comprehended two Supreme Truths, Qi Yuan could easily crush any Supreme Truth cultivator.

There was no need for the Nascent Souls he had summoned. Qi Yuan could have easily subdued them alone.

However, he preferred to do things by the book.

...

Meanwhile, in Ghost Heaven.

Triad Celestial sat atop the clouds, his three faces impossible to read.

"How is it going?"

"They’re trapped in a strange land, the outcome unknown. But... Black Sword will be hard to kill. The Black Demon Abyss ancestor himself took out a Creation Artifact and is actively calculating Black Sword’s fate to extend his life."

Triad Celestial was not surprised by this.

"Indeed, even if a Grand Supreme Truth strikes, Black Sword would be difficult to kill.

Still, if we’ve managed to drain Black Demon Abyss’s old turtle of his heart’s blood, that’s good enough!"

Triad Celestial mused.

If they succeeded in killing Black Sword, it would be a great achievement. If they failed, no big deal.

Their main goal was simply to wear down the old ancestor of Black Demon Abyss.

"What about Blood Robe? By now, they should’ve succeeded, right?" Triad Celestial asked softly.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and shifted his gaze toward the Star Realm.

His eyes showed a flicker of curiosity.

"This is… Great Bliss’s Star Projection. What’s going on? Could Great Bliss be in danger?"

Within the Star Realm, Great Bliss Celestial’s Star Projection began to shine, as if struggling.

"Wait a moment. God Blood Celestial’s Star Projection is also acting strange. Could it be that Black Demon Abyss set up an ambush?" Triad Celestial watched closely.

"No, this isn’t Star Projections gathering power. This is something different. It’s as if they’re resisting something. What’s happening?"

Triad Celestial was perplexed.

At first, he thought God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials had encountered a powerful enemy and were summoning the power of their Star Projections for support.

But now it was clear—something else was going on.

The Star Projections were rebelling.

As if some overwhelming force was affecting the Star Realm itself.

This sight reminded Triad Celestial of the time when Purple Fate Ancestor had crushed one of Ghost Heaven’s Yang Gods along with his Star Projection.

But this was different.

When Purple Fate Ancestor had acted, he had killed the Yang God first, then shattered the Star Projection.

This time, God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials weren’t dead. So how were their Star Projections acting up?

Then, in the blink of an eye, Triad Celestial’s eyes widened.

Great Bliss and God Blood Celestials’ Star Projections began to twist and contort violently, as if on the verge of shattering, then slowly reformed.

After thousands of transformations, the two Star Projections finally cracked… and both transformed into the character for "woman."

That’s right. The Star Projections of two Yang Gods had been turned into the word "woman"—they had been expelled from manhood!

At that moment, the heavens shook, and countless Yang Gods across the realms were left in shock, baffled, as they witnessed this utterly bizarre scene.
