Chapter 222: The Demon Clan's Silent Sword Appears
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
Emperor Jun sat high on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, with countless ministers from the demon tribe coming to pay him an audience below him. Beside him were Xihe, Changxi and Taiyi. This court meeting was extremely important, and even Fuxi, who had not been seen for a long time, made a rare appearance and sat on the throne of Emperor Xi.
Among the six emperors in heaven, only the throne of Emperor Nuwa was empty, which meant that the goddess Nuwa had not yet appeared.
Emperor Jun opened his mouth and his voice spread throughout the palace: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
Among the countless demon ministers, Bai Ze and Kun Peng stood in the front. The two looked at each other, and finally Bai Ze stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. It is related to the refining of the Tuwu Sword. I dare not hide it."
Hearing that it was about the Tuwu Sword, Di Jun also perked up a little and asked, "What do you want to report?"
Bai Ze bowed his head and said, "I don't know why, but over the years when my demon race hunted humans, the witch race would always jump out to stop us. Even if they couldn't stop us, they would take the lead in killing humans and use their divine fire to burn their flesh and blood, which prevented the demon race's envoys from getting more human flesh and blood, greatly reducing their efficiency. I feel helpless and have to report this to the Heavenly Emperor."
In the process of refining the Witch-Slaying Sword, the most important thing is to obtain that trace of holy blood aura in the flesh and blood of the human race. The aura is also emitted by the holy blood. As long as enough is collected, the holy blood can be extracted.
But this trace of breath is too weak, and even if it is burned by a raging fire, it will turn into nothingness. Therefore, the witch clan’s move can be said to have hit them right on the weak spot, so they have to pay attention.
Di Jun said coldly, "In that case, there is no need to hold back. Three years later, I will personally lead the demon army to the earth to fight the witch clan! Tens of thousands of years ago, I was able to seriously injure the ancestor witch. If it weren't for Daozu's obstruction, I'm afraid those twelve would have died in my hands. Now I can still kill them!"
Bai Ze bowed his head and said, "The Heavenly Emperor is mighty and powerful. I have nothing else to report."
Kunpeng said at this moment: "Your Majesty, the human race was created by Empress Wa after all. If we treat her like this, will it anger her?"
After Kunpeng finished speaking, the Lingxiao Palace, which had been a little restless, suddenly became quiet, and many eyes were cast on Di Jun. After all, the plan to massacre the human race and obtain the aura of the holy blood was initiated by Di Jun.
In addition, some demon gods and demon saints looked at Fuxi who was silent on the side. After all, he was Nuwa's brother. Slaughtering the human race was no less than losing face for Nuwa, so his opinion was naturally very important.
It's just that Fuxi didn't say much except maintaining a half-smile on his face.
Di Jun took these looks into his eyes and snorted coldly, "Empress Wa is one of the six emperors of the heaven, and she is also the supreme saint. How could she care about these trivial matters? Moreover, the human race is an acquired race, and will die sooner or later. Now we are just bringing this process forward a little bit, what's the big deal? If the Empress has any punishment to be bestowed, I will take it myself, and it has nothing to do with you!"
After getting Di Jun's guarantee, Kunpeng retreated.
Although he also knew the key, he still had to put in some surface effort, and the same went for Bai Ze.
Ever since Bai Ze presented the method of refining the Tuwu Sword, Di Jun has been like a possessed man. Not only did he immediately issue orders to massacre the human race, he also slaughtered many demons who disobeyed his orders. He no longer looks like the wise leader he used to be.
Some demon gods could not bear to see this and pleaded for some of the demon clans, but they were severely punished by Emperor Jun instead. One or two demon gods were even beaten to death.
Only when the demon master Kunpeng and the military advisor Bai Ze spoke would Emperor Jun listen to a few things, but he would also refute most of them. If they insisted on having their own way, these two would not be able to stop them.
Only other emperors could dissuade Di Jun, but three of the other five emperors were his wives or brothers. Empress Nuwa did not show up and Emperor Xi did not intervene, resulting in Di Jun having the final say in the current demon clan. Many demon saints and gods dared to be angry but not to speak out, but they all sought refuge under Kunpeng or Bai Ze, which in turn increased the power of these two people.
Taiyi saw all of this, and after Di Jun finished the meeting, he went to the Emperor's Palace and had a heart-to-heart talk with Di Jun.
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Di Jun with a fierce look on his face, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked tentatively: "Brother, the human race was created by Queen Wa after all, so it is not good to kill them all. The holy blood aura we have obtained now is enough to refine a witch-killing sword, which is enough."
"not enough!"
Di Jun roared, "It's not enough! What's one witch-killing sword? I want ten! A hundred! I want every member of the demon race to have a witch-killing sword, that's enough! What are the humans? How can they be qualified to be the eternal protagonist! Kill them! We must wipe them all out! Wipe out their entire clan!!!"
The Sun Devil Fire suddenly exploded on Di Jun's body. With a shrill crow cry, a huge black devil crow flew out and circled the Tiandi Palace for three times, burning countless restrictions wherever it passed. The Sun Devil Fire was not as fierce as the Sun God Fire, but it had a strange sense of continuity. Donghuang Taiyi was frightened and immediately summoned the Donghuang Bell and shook it towards Di Jun. The sound of the bell spread out, and those who heard it could calm their minds, kill the inner demons, and stabilize their minds.
In addition to its unparalleled attacking and killing power, the Donghuang Bell also has the tenacity to stabilize one's mind.
However, the sound of the bell that could kill countless inner demons in the past, after being heard by Emperor Jun, became useless except for making the sun demon fire more fierce.
Di Jun's eyes were red, and the Sun Demon Crow behind him became even more ferocious. Its pair of blood-red sharp eyes stared at Donghuang Taiyi, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
After a while, the Great Sun Demon Crow dissipated, and Di Jun barely regained his composure. A trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and he said, "This Jiesha power is so terrifying that even I have to lose my composure and be completely controlled by instinct."
The small bell in Donghuang Taiyi's hand kept shaking, and the clear and melodious sound of the bell floated in the air, like the tinkling of a mountain stream, refreshing the soul and suppressing the anger. Di Jun closed his eyes slightly, feeling this hard-earned peace.
After three hours, Donghuang Taiyi finally stopped what he was doing and said to Di Jun, "Brother, the catastrophe is coming, and the heaven and earth are beginning to settle all the accounts. At this moment, even the saints cannot deduce the secrets of heaven, and their vision will be obscured by the catastrophe energy.
You and I are both leaders of the demon clan, but I have the Donghuang Bell to protect me, and I practice hard on weekdays, so I am not contaminated by much calamity. But you do everything yourself, and your body is already covered with countless karma of the demon clan.
Hatred, resentment, disgust, killing, all kinds of evil thoughts linger in your body, and are even getting worse day by day, trying to make you lose your clarity of mind. Now I can still suppress it temporarily, but judging by the situation, in another thousand years, you will no longer be able to bear this huge amount of cause and effect. By then, you will really become a saint that cannot be saved."
Di Jun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "It's too late to back down now. The various causes and effects within the demon race are too huge. If I hadn't been the Sun Star Lord, I'm afraid I would have gone astray and died. I won't talk about this any more."
Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a long time. Di Jun changed the subject and asked with great interest: "Second brother, are you sure you can break through this last barrier?"
Donghuang Taiyi shook his head slightly and sighed, "This level of difficulty is so difficult. I have already achieved the peak of Hunyuan Jinxian for tens of thousands of years, but I don't have even the slightest inspiration. It seems that the Hunyuan Daluo realm is an unattainable dream. I don't know how those saints broke through. It's really terrifying."
They did not know that the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West were forced into a desperate situation and ruined their path, so they had to attain the status of saints first. Therefore, they all believed that they first achieved the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and then became saints.
After hearing this, Di Jun was also filled with emotion. The more he practiced, the more difficult it became. Even if he gained more insights into the Dao at this moment, it would be in vain. Only when that little opportunity came could they break through their cultivation.
He had already reached the late stage of Hunyuan Jinxian, but he had only a little idea about the peak stage, not to mention the stage of Hunyuan Daluo. To him, this was not a beautiful dream, but an illusion of the moon in the water and a diamond in the mirror, which was simply impossible to achieve.
It is for this reason that Di Jun frantically seeks to increase the power of the demon clan even a little bit. Only when the demon clan becomes strong can he take the next step forward.
Donghuang Taiyi returned to the original topic and said, "Brother, I still say that the human race is the eternal protagonist of the prehistoric world after all, with Empress Nuwa and the leader of the Xuanjiao backing them up. If we really want to slaughter them wantonly, sooner or later we will anger these two, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."
Di Jun said, "Don't you think I started hunting humans just for the Tuwu Sword?"
Donghuang Taiyi was surprised and asked, "Is it so? Why is that?"
Di Jun said in a deep voice: "Of course, we must completely destroy the status of the eternal protagonist of the human race! Now I have figured it out. If the demon race and the witch race are both defeated, which race will be able to replace our two races next?"
Donghuang Taiyi quickly recalled the many races in the prehistoric world. The Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin tribes were the three original tribes. Their ancestors were still alive and their strength should not be underestimated. Although the White Tiger and Black Tortoise tribes were small in number, they had two of the Four Sacred Gods guarding them and had infinite potential. It could be said that quality was more important than quantity.
As for other races, they are just mediocre. Either it is too difficult for them to reproduce, or they are too weak. Those that have both problems do not have any ancestors to support them.
In the prehistoric world, strength is ultimately the first, just like the Sage Sect. Even though the Sage Sect has only one leader, one disciple, and two boys, it is still an invincible force standing at the top of the prehistoric world. This is because Taishang Laojun's cultivation is unrivaled in the world, so naturally no one dares to disrespect him.
But when he thought of the human race, Donghuang Taiyi knew what Di Jun wanted to say, and he could not help but say, "Brother, are you talking about the human race? This is really ridiculous.
Even if the human race is powerful, it has not yet produced a Hunyuan Jinxian. How can it be qualified to replace the Wu and Lich races and become the true eternal protagonist of the prehistoric world? Instead of this, I believe that the Wu race will defeat the demon race and finally seize the eternal protagonist status of the human race. "
