Chapter 591 - 466: Incarnation of the Ancestral Demon
The moment the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons entered the arena with the Demon Ancestor Bell, the air throughout the True Martial World seemed to freeze.
On one side was the Emperor of the Human Path Ancestral Court, draped in the radiant glory of ten thousand Daoists, holding the Picture of Mountains, Rivers, and Societies. As the picture unfurled, the collective will of billions of living beings converged, with Saintly Power faintly manifesting.
On the other side was the Supreme of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Court, clad in a robe of the Golden Crow Emperor, surrounded by countless floating demon shadows, with the Demon Ancestor Bell suspended overhead. Its vast chime was incessant, channeling the pressure of a Saint.
Two leaders at the pinnacle of the God-Demon realm faced off from a distance, with their intangible auras colliding, causing the void to collapse and reassemble, with chaotic air swirling like tides.
"Lu Jun, must you protect this mysterious demon?"
The Emperor’s voice was icy, with murderous intent almost tangible in his gaze. The brilliance on the Picture of Mountains, Rivers, and Societies grew increasingly intense, ready to erupt at any moment.
The Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons laughed heartily, his voice echoing across the cosmos:
"Zhang Daoxi, he is the Grand Emperor of our Demon Race, who else should I protect?"
"If you insist on making a move, today you shall realize that our Ten Thousand Demon Holy Court is not to be trifled with!"
The Demon Ancestor Bell trembled slightly, weaving millions of chimes into an invisible barrier, contending with the brilliance of the Picture of Mountains, Rivers, and Societies.
The Emperor’s expression turned grim, swiftly calculating in his mind. Both sides had Integration-level Saints in command, and if a war broke out, it would be no trivial matter.
Especially if the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons were to fully engage him, then that formidable White Tiger would be unchecked, and the Human Path Ancestral Court would suffer heavy losses, proving to be counterproductive.
After a moment of silence, the Emperor let out a cold snort:
"Today’s matter will be set aside for now, but the murder of my junior brother by this demon is a feud beyond reconciliation. A day of reckoning will undoubtedly come!"
As his voice fell, he waved to put away the Picture of Mountains, Rivers, and Societies. Surrounded by the radiance of the Human Path, along with the remaining torrent of humanity, he transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished over the horizon.
The Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons watched his retreating figure, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, but did not pursue. He nodded slightly to Chen Sheng:
"Daoist, come with me back to the Holy Court."
After speaking, the light of the Demon Ancestor Bell gathered, transforming into a stream of light that merged into his sleeve. With a movement, the two figures traversed endless voids, heading towards the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Court in Southern Province.
...
Southern Province, Ten Thousand Demon Holy Court.
The Nine Heavens Galaxy was dazzling, with each primordial star embedded like diamonds in the night sky.
Every star emitted vast demon power, and atop each stood demon race star gods clad in star armor, with their aura resonating with star power, forming a boundless protective barrier.
The core area of the Holy Court, encircled by stars.
There hovered a majestic palace built from billions of Star Crystal Stones, above which flowed innumerable demon race totems, exuding demon might that suppressed all ages.
Two figures descended leisurely, none other than the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons and Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng wore a white Daoist robe, its hem fluttering, and an aura of chaotic air subtly surrounded him. Though standing at the core of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Court, he seemed isolated from the surrounding demon power, forming a world of his own.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons dissipated layer upon layer of restrictions like a tide.
These restrictions were not ordinary Arrays, but were interwoven with numerous demon race Law Runes, faintly connected with the Nine Heavens Galaxy. Chen Sheng’s gaze instantly discerned their essence.
It was an unbelievably powerful Circulation Grand Array, which once activated, could draw upon star power to suppress gods and demons.
"Please, Daoist!"
The Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons gestured to the side, his tone carrying a measure of solemnity, knowing well that the newly ascended Grand Emperor of the Mid-Heaven was no ordinary god or demon.
That Zhang Daoxi’s claims of unknown origin were not unfounded; for one to attain god-demon cultivation in the lower realm is to be a prodigy.
Yet to just ascend to the True Martial World and possess the combat power of a god-demon realm, cannot be explained merely by being a prodigy.
"You are too kind, Daoist!"
Chen Sheng nodded slightly, his voice calm and indifferent, without a hint of reservation, stepping forward to follow the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons into the palace.
His pace was unhurried, with his aura subtly resonating with the heavens and earth, displaying composure.
Just within the palace gates, several powerful auras greeted him, with several imposing figures of demon race gods and demons stepping forward.
Each of these gods and demons had a condensed aura and demon power that felt almost tangible, clearly having attained the god-demon realm, holding esteemed positions within the demon race.
"Supreme!"
The gods and demons first saluted the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons respectfully, then turned their gaze toward Chen Sheng, with a hint of reverence and curiosity, collectively bowing with respectful tones:
"Greetings, Grand Emperor of Mid-Heaven!"
The Grand Emperor of Mid-Heaven, a title supreme among emperors beneath the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons, wielding paramount authority over the Mid-Heaven Demon Realm.
Prior in Eastern Province, Chen Sheng had confronted the Human Path Emperor, even forcing him to wield Saintly Treasures, a display of combat power that surpassed all demon race emperors.
Furthermore, this Grand Emperor was ruthless in battle, daring to directly slay even a disciple of a Human Path Saint.
Such ferocity and daring naturally garnered genuine admiration from the demon race gods and demons present.
Chen Sheng nodded lightly to the crowd with a calm demeanor: "Greetings, everyone!"
The Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons approached with a smile, introducing each individual to Chen Sheng:
"This is the Emperor of North Sea, overseeing the North Sea Demon Realm, mastering Water Element Law and Icy Divine Techniques; this is the Nine-Headed Emperor, born with nine heads, able to command water, fire, wind, and thunder, boasting formidable strength..."
With each introduction, Chen Sheng slightly nodded in acknowledgment, speaking little, as his gaze upon each revealed immediately the depth of their cultivation and the essence of their divine techniques.
Before long, the Supreme of Ten Thousand Demons waved his hand toward the distant void.
