Story of Lord Shiva and Sati.
Devi Sati was daughter of Daksha, she was meant to marry Lord Shiva, after extreme penance (tap) of Devi Sati, Lord Shiva married Devi Sati, it was against the wish of her father, Daksh was a Vaishnav Convict (Apradhi), He Always hated Lord Shiva, one day he planned to arrange a Yagya in that he invited all Lords including Brahma.
He didn’t invite Lord Shiva or Devi Sati, seeing this Devi Sati became sad and went to the Yagya and asked her father why he did so, Then her father Daksh abused Mata Devi Sati in front of all rishis, and Lords, he even abused Lord Shiva, Devi Sati couldn’t resist harsh words of her and with that pain she decided to end her life, she didn’t wanted to live after hearing such abusive words against Lord Shiva, So she jumped into the Yagya and sacrificed her life.
Seeing this all the Lords and Rishis were shocked, three worlds shook, When Lord Shiva got to know about this, he became extremely angry, He took his hair and threw it in the mountain, from that the most fearsome ,the Rudra Roop of Lord Shiva, the first Rudra Avatar Virbhadra appeared, After that Lord Shiva threw his another hair on mountain and from that Mata Bhadrakali appeared, Then Lord Shiva ordered both of them to destroy the Yagya and bring the head of Daksha, if any Gandharv, Lord (Devta) try to stop, destroy them too.
Then Lord Shiva also sent 1o Millions Rudra (Shiva Ganas) into battle, the three worlds shook in fear, all Lords (Devatas) were terrified, after seeing this all Lords thought to protect the Yagya they sat on their vehicle and planned to attack Lord Veerabhadra, However Lord Veerabhadra defeated them, all 33 gods couldn’t stop or touch Lord Veerabhadra, Even Lord Brahma couldn’t stop Lord Veerabhadra with his powers and divine weapons, And even Mata Saraswati couldn’t stop Mata Bhadrakali even after using her powers, Lord Brahma stops fighting Lord Veerabhadra, Lord Veerabhadra Spoke, You all have become blind by this Daksha, You all are convict (Apradhi) of Lord Shiva.
Lord Veerabhadra defeated all 33 Gods, Lord Indra vajra couldn’t even touch Veerabhadra, then Lord Veerabhadra destroyed the Yagya and chopped the head of Daksha.
After seeing this all Devta requested Lord Shiva to give Daksha his life back, Then Lord Shiva being “Bholenath” kindest among all, gave life to Daksha by giving him a goat head, and the Daksha apologized for his crimes in front of Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva forgave him.
Devta including Indra were injured in the battle Lord Shiva cured them all, and then by the grace and innocence of Supreme Parmeshwar Lord Shiva the Yagya was completed.
According to Shiva Purana and Skanda purana even Lord Vishnu existed in that battle, according to that even Lord Vishnu fought Lord Veerabhadra, but Lord Vishnu didn’t fight he just pretended to fight Lord Veerabhadra.
But according to Vayu purana and Shrimad Bhagavatam Lord Vishnu was not present in that Yagya, Lord Veerabhadra is the most fearsome Rudra Roop of Lord Mahadev.
