Chapter 159: Ascending to the Heavens_1

```

In the pitch-dark night where one could not see their own hand, traces of a golden light and Monster Qi flickered in the sky above the Imperial Palace.

The Xuan Bird, transformed from the lucky qi of the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, spread its wings and soared, surrounded by the twelve zodiac gods in their true forms—Rat, Bull, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, Pig—launching an assault on the Xuan Bird.

Facing the encirclement of the twelve gods, the Xuan Bird appeared tremendously overpowered.

The True Dragon with its hundred-yard long body was fighting head-on with the Xuan Bird, ferociously contending for dominance.

At the side, eleven demons constantly attacked; the Tiger pounced, the Rat cast spells, the Bull's horns were sharp, the Rabbit was agile, and the Horse's hooves painful—each demonstrating their supernatural abilities, rapidly dividing the lucky qi from the Xuan Bird's body.

It was only a momentary battle.
