Chapter 56 The Celestial Stars Shatter! Nuwa Takes Action, and Humanity Makes a Vow.
After the Supreme Dharma Form shattered the star river, it looked at the Zhou Tian Star Array.
At this moment, Chen Qing was preparing to break the Zhou Tian Star Array set up by the demon race and prevent it from remaining.
Since the Zhou Tian Star Array was set up, it has already unleashed all its potential, and there is no point in keeping it any longer.
The Supreme Dharma Form looked at the Zhou Tian Star Array with a calm expression. He opened his right hand and walked towards the Zhou Tian Star Array.
Inside the Zhou Tian Star Array, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi looked at the Supreme Dharma Image's attack with fear in their eyes.
"Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array, Defense."
At Di Jun's command, the demon gods and demon saints who had set up the formation were ordered to operate the Zhou Tian Star Formation with all their might for defense.
Countless stellar powers were seen bolstering the Zhou Tian Star Array, and countless rays of starlight appeared, providing protection for the array.
In just a moment, the space-time created by the Zhou Tian Star Array was filled with endless starlight and star power.
The Supreme Dharma Form moved without stopping, its right hand encircling the laws, heading towards the Zhou Tian Star Array.
The endless starlight and stellar power could not stop the Supreme Dharma Image's right hand. The Supreme Dharma Image's right hand ignored everything, directly piercing through all the starlight and stellar power, and landed on the Zhou Tian Star Array.
The Supreme Dharma Form merely struck down with a palm, yet it caused the Zhou Tian Star Array to tremble violently, with countless fluctuations causing the Zhou Tian Star Array to shake incessantly.
Inside the Zhou Tian Star Formation, Di Jun's face was golden, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.
Not only him, but all the demon gods and demon saints who set up the formation were in the same situation, and many of the demon saints even fainted directly.
With just one strike, the Zhou Tian Star Array trembled violently, and all those who set up the array were injured.
Chen Qing glanced at the Zhou Tian Star Array, his expression indifferent.
After all, the Zhou Tian Star Formation is one of the three great formations, and he never thought he could break it with a single blow.
Chen Qing looked at the Supreme Dharma Image, only to see that the Supreme Dharma Image had raised its right hand high and then brought it down hard again.
With another loud bang, the Supreme Dharma Image's right hand landed on the Zhou Tian Star Array, causing the Zhou Tian Star Array to shake violently once again.
Within the Zhou Tian Star Array, Di Jun spat out another mouthful of blood, which transformed into true solar fire, burning fiercely within.
Many of the demon gods and demon saints who set up the formation died directly. Even those with high cultivation levels who did not die were now seriously injured and unable to maintain the formation.
The Supreme Dharma Image calmly observed all of this. At this moment, the Zhou Tian Star Array only needed one strike to break it directly.
The Supreme Dharma Image's right hand fell again, directly shattering the Zhou Tian Star Array.
The Zhou Tian Star Formation was broken, but Di Jun, the person in charge of the formation, suffered a severe backlash and fainted.
Two-thirds of the demon gods and demon saints who had set up the formation were killed by the attack of the Supreme Dharma Image.
Chen Qing looked at the remaining third of the demon gods and demon saints with icy eyes.
"Now that the Zhou Tian Star Array has been broken, there is no need for you to stay any longer."
As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, the Supreme Dharma Image stretched out its right hand, transforming it into a colossal palm that enveloped all the demons present. Then it slammed down, seemingly intending to wipe out all the demons in the room.
At this moment, the group of powerful beings watching the battle looked at the Supreme Dharma Image with great awe in their eyes.
That's the Zhou Tian Star Formation! It's one of the three great formations of the primordial world, a top-tier formation that's said to be able to withstand multiple attacks from saints without breaking.
But at this moment, it was broken by the Supreme Dharma Form, and at this moment, they had no choice but to feel awe.
Not only them, but all the sentient beings who came to watch the battle looked at the Supreme Dharma Image with great awe, and some even began to worship the Supreme Dharma Image.
The Supreme Dharma Image descended with its right hand, directly enveloping all the demon races in this world.
Some of the weaker demon race members were crushed to death by the overwhelming pressure of the Supreme Dharma Image before their attacks could even land.
Just then, a red embroidered ball flew directly towards the Supreme Dharma Image from the sky.
The Supreme Dharma Image looked at the incoming red embroidered ball, immediately withdrew his right palm, and slapped it towards the red embroidered ball.
With a loud bang, the Supreme Dharma Form collided with the Red Embroidered Ball.
The red embroidered ball was slapped away by the Supreme Dharma Image, while the Supreme Dharma Image's right hand remained intact.
Chen Qing looked at the red embroidered ball, her gaze calmly fixed on the sky.
"Saint Nuwa, since you've come, show yourself."
Chen Qing spoke coldly, looking into the endless void.
In the void, the sage Nuwa no longer concealed her form, but directly revealed herself.
As she revealed herself, endless purple energy appeared, covering the entire world. Following closely behind the endless purple energy were celestial flowers, golden lotuses, and divine beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin flying around.
At this moment, all the beings watching the battle, whether they were powerful beings or Golden Immortals, respectfully bowed to the Sage Nuwa.
"Paying homage to the sage Nuwa."
Chen Qing made no move, but calmly looked at the Sage Nuwa with a very cold gaze.
"Saint Nuwa, are you sure you want to stop me?"
The sage Nuwa looked at Chen Qing with a very calm gaze.
"Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi cannot die at this time; you cannot kill them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage Nuwa, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
When Donghuang Taiyi saw Nuwa appear, a look of relief appeared in his eyes. He exhaled and then directly activated the Sun Star to begin healing Dijun's injuries.
He believed that now that the sage Nuwa had appeared, the matter should not change, and they should no longer be in mortal danger.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Qing looked at the Sage Nuwa and shook his head indifferently.
"They will surely die today. Hundreds of millions of our human race will perish. This grudge must be avenged."
"Saint Nuwa, although my human race was created by you, you also ascended to the position of saint by creating the human race. For so many years, you have occupied the human race's fortune to cultivate, but when the human race needed you, you ignored them. Now, you have even appeared to stop me from killing the demon race."
"Oh!"
"Saint Nuwa, you truly deserve the title of Holy Mother of Humanity."
Upon hearing this, the usually calm and composed Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Chen Qing, a hint of killing intent flashing in them.
"Chen Qing, the human race needs to go through trials. These trials are ordained by Heaven. Only by overcoming these trials can the human race reach a higher position."
"Furthermore, the human race was created by me, how can I sit idly by and watch it perish?"
After saying this, Nuwa looked at the human race in the distance with a very calm expression.
Upon hearing this, Suirenshi and the others in the distance revealed a hint of resentment in their eyes.
At this moment, they could see very clearly that just as Chen Qing was about to kill a group of demons, the Sage Nuwa appeared to stop him, preventing Chen Qing from killing the demons.
Although they were created by the goddess Nuwa, as Chen Qing said, Nuwa ascended to sainthood directly by virtue of creating the human race, and has been cultivating by occupying the human race's fortune for so many years.
When their human race was in peril, they sought help from the sage Nuwa, but Nuwa ignored them.
At this moment, millions of humans harbored resentment in their hearts, looking at the Sage Nuwa with a hint of hatred in their eyes.
Chen Qing glanced at the sage Nuwa, then turned to look at Suiren.
"Suirenshi, you are the first of the three ancestors of the human race, and also a primordial human. What do you think of this matter?"
Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Suirenshi's eyes revealed boundless killing intent.
"Hundreds of millions of our human race members were slaughtered by the demon race. This grudge must be avenged. No matter who tries to stop us, our human race must avenge this grudge."
After saying this, Suirenshi pondered for a while and then looked directly at the sage Nuwa.
Suirenshi turned around and glanced at the million-strong human race, then knelt down on the ground.
"Heaven above, I, Suirenshi, hereby swear that the demon race has slaughtered hundreds of millions of my human race members. This is a blood feud that will annihilate our race. From this day forward, humans and demons shall never coexist. In the future, if any human sees a demon, they shall utterly exterminate them."
After Suirenshi finished speaking, the millions of people behind him all knelt down and loudly proclaimed his words.
As soon as the human uttered these words, the world fell silent, and everyone looked at the human with astonishment in their eyes.
Aside from Chen Qing, the strongest among humans seems to be those at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Where did they get the audacity to make such a vow?
Before anyone could react, a word rang out from the sky.
"allow!"
Upon hearing this word, everyone was shocked. They knew that once this word was uttered, it meant that the oath made by the human race had truly been fulfilled.
In this way, humans and demons will be irreconcilable enemies in the future, and humans will have to kill any demon they encounter.
However, to everyone's surprise, the oath of the human race actually received a response from the Heavenly Dao.
When the Sage Nuwa heard that the oath of the human race had received a response from the Heavenly Dao, a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to see the future situation of humans and demons killing each other, as if she saw the scene of the demon race being slaughtered by the human race, and also the scene of the demon race slaughtering the human race again.
But she felt somewhat helpless about this matter.
She was the queen of the demon race, and to her, the demon race was a defense.
The human race was a race she created; to her, the human race was like the palm of her hand.
Both are her flesh and blood, what can she do?
But Suirenshi did not stop. After hearing the response from Heaven, he once again made a vow to Heaven.
"Heaven above, I, Suiren, hereby swear that my human race has been slaughtered by the demon race. Nuwa is the holy mother of my human race. Although she created my human race, she also occupies 40% of my human race's fortune."
"But our human race was slaughtered by the demon race, and the saint Nuwa turned a blind eye and did not help our human race. I beg the Heavenly Dao to strip the three layers of fortune that the saint Nuwa occupied as punishment."
"The Sage Taiqing established the Human Religion in our human race and used our human race's strength to attain sainthood. However, when our human race encountered danger, he did not help our human race. We beseech Heaven to strip away one-tenth of the Sage Taiqing's fortune and return it to our human race."
Before Suirenshi could utter a word, the millions of humans behind him spoke up. At this moment, the humans directly petitioned the Heavenly Dao to strip Nuwa and Taiqing of their human destiny.
A thunderclap resounded in the sky, its sound shaking the primordial world.
"allow!"
As soon as the word "approved" was uttered, it was clear that 30% of the human race's fortune, which was possessed by the Sage Nuwa, was stripped away and returned directly to the human race. Similarly, 10% of the human race's fortune, which was possessed by the Sage Taiqing, was also stripped away and returned to the human race.
At this moment, a hint of anger appeared in the originally calm eyes of the Sage Nuwa.
She couldn't understand how the human race, which she had created, dared to deprive her of her fortune. She looked at the million humans with intense anger in her eyes.
In the Shouyang Mountains, Taiqing Laozi felt that one-tenth of the human race's fortune he possessed had been stripped away, and he was extremely angry.
But at this moment, he was somewhat helpless. The demon race's slaughter of the human race was inevitable; it was the inevitable trend of Heaven, and they, as saints, could not interfere.
However, what he didn't expect was that this matter would cause him to lose a significant portion of the human race's fortune, something he hadn't anticipated.
Originally, he planned to wait until humanity was truly at its end before intervening to save them. In this way, humanity would be grateful and he could establish a religion among humanity, fulfilling his duty as the leader of that religion.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qing became a variable, and he even lost 10% of his luck. At this moment, the Sage of Taiqing felt that the way of heaven was unpredictable, and the original destiny had changed.
On the shore of the East China Sea.
Suirenshi looked at Chen Qing, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
"The hatred between our human race and the demon race is a blood feud, a blood feud that has led to the extermination of our race. If possible, we will slaughter the demon race and make them pay the price they deserve."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, glanced at Suirenshi, and then turned to look at the sage Nuwa.
"Saint Nuwa, you should have heard what the people of the human race have said. The hatred between the human race and the demon race is a blood feud that could lead to the extermination of the entire race. Please leave, Saint Nuwa, and do not obstruct me any further."
"Otherwise, even if you are a saint, even if you are the Holy Mother of Humanity, don't blame me for being impolite."
Upon hearing this, the Sage Nuwa looked at Chen Qing with a very calm expression.
"Humans are my creation. Since you are also human, you are also my creation. How dare you attack me? If you attack me, wouldn't that be insubordination, disrespect, and disrespect? How will you survive in the primordial world in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage Nuwa and burst into laughter.
"Saint Nuwa, what you said is truly the biggest joke I've ever heard. You should know that for us cultivators, our bodies will inevitably undergo changes in the end."
"Do you really think that my acquired human body can cultivate to this level?"
"Now, I have no human blood or human characteristics in my body. I have transformed myself and am no longer a human."
"The reason I stood up to help the human race is because I was born of the human race. The human race helped me, and I cannot forget my roots. As for you, Nuwa, you only created 103,000 innate humans. After you used the creation of the human race, have you ever cared about the human race?"
"Even if I were to kill you, let alone lay a hand on you, I would feel at peace with myself."
Upon hearing this, the sage Nuwa showed a helpless expression in her eyes. She knew that what Chen Qing said was true. After all, it would be very difficult for a human with an acquired body to cultivate to this level.
Although she created the human race based on the body of the great god Pangu, she was very clear about its potential. It was absolutely impossible for them to cultivate to this level and possess such strength.
At this moment, the sage Nuwa knew that this battle was unavoidable.
The human race intends to slaughter Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the demon gods and demon saints of this place.
But she wanted to protect Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others. If they lost them, how could the demon race maintain its position as the overlord of heaven and earth, and how could it deal with the witch race?
After all, the demon race could still provide her with immense fortune to cultivate the Great Dao, so she couldn't let the demon race suffer any losses.
At this moment, the sage Nuwa held a red embroidered ball in her hand, facing off against Chen Qing.
At this moment, a group of powerful beings stood there, and countless living beings watched them.
The Sage Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Master of the Heavenly Gate, the Sage Jieyin, and the Sage Zhunti were also paying close attention to this battle.
They were prepared to see just how powerful Chen Qing was, and what kind of supernatural abilities he possessed that made him dare to contend with a sage.
It should be understood that, in their minds, everyone below the sage is an ant.
Chen Qing looked at the Sage Nuwa with a very calm expression. He knew that if he were to fight against the Sage Nuwa, he would definitely be no match for her. Even with the supreme Dharma form, he would still be no match for the Sage.
He knew this as soon as the Supreme Dharma Avatar received the attack from the Sage Nuwa's red embroidered ball.
Don't be fooled by how easily he caught it; he had already used all his strength to do so.
At this moment, he no longer held back and directly summoned his past body, present body, and Dao body.
In the endless dimensions of time and space, the past body, the present body, and the Dao body stepped out from the dimensions of time and space, walked directly towards Chen Qing, stood beside him, looked at the Sage Nuwa, and prepared to fight a great battle with him.
At this moment, Chen Qing held nothing back; apart from his future self, he had revealed all his trump cards.
