Two Dao Ancestors, the Rise of the Demon Race

Chapter 57 Two Dao Ancestors, the Rise of the Demon Race

Upon hearing this, Hongjun spoke softly.

"The fall of the Eastern King Duke was due to fate; everything under the heavens is predetermined."

"The general trend cannot be changed; to change it would be going against the will of Heaven; Heaven will not allow this to happen."

"The Eastern King Duke has bewitched the immortals, and his actions have disrupted the workings of Heaven. Heaven is enraged, and I am merely following the will of Heaven."

"Fellow Daoist was also the instigator of this matter; the source lies with you. If it weren't for the Dao you taught, the Eastern King Duke wouldn't have ended up like this."

"fart!"

Yang Gui gave a soft shout.

"Hey kid, don't try to pin all sorts of accusations on me."

"If that's the case, then if your disciple pees on and kills a flower, shouldn't that karma also be attributed to you?"

As expected of you, you're so adept at distorting the facts.

Yang Gui was too lazy to waste words with him; he had already achieved his goal for this trip.

Even in a one-on-one fight, with his numerous techniques at his disposal, Hongjun, who had not yet attained enlightenment, would find it difficult to kill him.

With his current strength, he is basically fearless of saints before reaching the Dao Integration stage.

Looking coldly at Hongjun, whose lips were twitching, Yang Gui said in a chilling voice, "Old man, you are the Dao Ancestor, and so am I."

"Although I don't know what you're plotting, I have some guesses in my mind."

"If you stubbornly continue to plot against me, even if you are in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, I will still test the edge of the Dao-merging realm!"

boom!

As Yang Gui finished speaking, his aura surged, increasing even further.

With an aura soaring to the heavens, the laws of the chaotic world twisted, and Yang Gui's strength advanced further, reaching the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine and dared not underestimate Yang Gui.

This reminds me of the time when Yang Gui settled his karmic debts with him and demanded the law.

He had already realized that Yang Gui's path was one of embracing and controlling the endless laws of nature.

Compared to his method of attaining enlightenment by severing his three corpses and finally entrusting his primordial spirit to the primordial heavenly Dao, his combat power is many times stronger.

Being able to fight against a saint at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm is enough to prove one's formidable strength.

Compared to Hongjun, who achieved immortality and enlightenment through shortcuts, Yang Gui's path was similar to that of Pangu, yet somewhat different.

Once successful, one will enjoy great freedom and ease.

"Fellow Daoist, you have great courage!"

Hongjun exclaimed, "The path you have taken, fellow Daoist, is beyond the imagination of ordinary Chaos Gods."

"But the Primordial Heavenly Dao is about to be perfected. Fellow Daoist, you are in the Primordial World, and it is almost hopeless to comprehend the Primordial Heavenly Dao and eventually break through to the Heavenly Dao realm of the Primordial Immortal Heavenly Venerable."

How can one defy the heavens with force when imprisoned?

Even though Pangu was a chaotic demon god, he ultimately fell under the arrangement of the Great Dao, thus creating the primordial world.

Yang Gui knew what Hongjun meant, but what might be an insurmountable obstacle for others was merely a matter of time for him.

The more you try to understand the principles, the more difficult it becomes.

Even with his level of comprehension, he was the first to grasp the relatively simple laws that were to him. Once he progressed to the later stages, Yang Gui himself didn't know how much time and laws he would need to accumulate.

The effect is obvious.

At least now, he has the strength to fight against Hongjun.

Yang Gui already had a preliminary plan for this matter.

Spreading the Dao of Ten Thousand Paths throughout the primordial world was the first step in his plan.

This is also one of the reasons why he is fighting Hongjun today.

It is both an attempt to establish authority and a strategic move.

Yang Gui said calmly, "My path is in my own hands; whether I can break through or not, fellow Daoist, please wait and see."

Having said that, he left the chaos and flew into the primordial world.

The primordial world, the East Sea.

The ancient gods who had just participated in the battle were both shocked and envious when they sensed the aura emanating from the chaos.

After a long while, the fighting spirit dissipated.

Yang Gui appeared unharmed from the heavens in the primordial world.

This scene shocked all the ancient gods who were watching the battle between the two sides.

Shangqing Tongtian transmitted his voice to his two elder brothers beside him, "This one is indeed a sage."

If someone can fight a sage without being defeated, what else could they be but a sage?

The Taoist Taiqing sighed softly, "Welcome back, Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Click!

As these words were spoken, heaven and earth seemed to respond.

The power of destiny that had not descended before reappeared and descended upon Yang Gui.

Three golden wheels of merit appeared behind Yang Gui, who stood on a twelve-petaled white lotus of purity and held the Five Elements Pagoda of Chaos Spiritual Treasure, hovering in the void.

Dignified and sacred!

"Welcome back, Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

"Welcome back, Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

All the sacred beings of the primordial era bowed their heads and cried out in praise.

The sheer scale of the event caused even Hongjun, the ruler of the Chaos Realm, to turn pale.

next second.

A powerful aura belonging to a sage appeared in the primordial world.

The sage Hongjun, carrying immense power, also stood tall in the primordial void.

The ancient gods who witnessed this scene all felt somewhat helpless.

When these two fight, it is these ancient gods who suffer the most!

"Welcome, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Despite his helplessness, the Taoist Taiqing continued to shout.

"Welcome, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

"Welcome, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Not only him, but all the other ancient gods were the same.

Today's events were caused by their deception of Hongjun, and now that they have been discovered, they can't help but feel a little guilty.

Gui Xuan and Hong Jun were locked in a struggle, and as sacred beings of the primordial world, neither of them could afford to offend the other.

The sacred chants of the primordial era

Hongjun looked down at the primordial gods with some displeasure.

He had already guessed most of what had happened before, but the law does not punish the masses.

Even a saint cannot blame so many ancient deities at the same time, so he had no choice but to give up.

Hongjun glanced at Yang Gui, his voice indifferent, "The workings of Heaven are yours to maintain wholeheartedly, and you should not try to take shortcuts; otherwise, everything under Heaven is vain."

He looked down at the primordial deities with a warning gaze.

All the ancient gods and saints felt as if a thunderclap had sounded in their ears, causing a deafening roar.

It took them quite a while to come to their senses, only to find that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had disappeared and returned to Zixiao Palace.

What a petty person.

Yang Gui thought dismissively, then said, "A myriad of paths contend, a prosperous primordial world; every path can lead to the heart's desire, so do not let some distracting thoughts dull your edge."

Come on.

The two Dao Ancestors were locked in a power struggle, leaving the primordial gods and saints unsure of whose advice to follow.

They looked at each other, speechless.

Finally, a voice broke the silence.

Zhunti from the West stepped forward, looked at Yang Gui in the sky, and asked expectantly, "Dao Ancestor, is the method practiced by the Eastern King Duke a demonic path?"

"A sword has two edges; it can hurt, but it can also save."

Zhunti's face lit up with joy, "Please, Dao Ancestor, bestow upon me the Dharma!"

All the deities were also eagerly anticipating it.

boom!

A thunderclap boomed in the sky.

This frightened Zhunti and the other deities, causing them to tremble all over.

But Heaven sensed it and issued a warning.

Yang Gui said slowly, "This method is within the teachings I have imparted; you can comprehend it yourselves."

He has already passed on the Dharma; how to cultivate it is up to them to find out for themselves.

There's a famous saying that goes, "There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes."

These countless laws are interpreted differently by everyone, leading to variations in cultivation paths.

Yang Gui, as the ancestor of Taoism, is the source of all Taoism.

Each time these people comprehend a law, it will more or less affect them.

Over time, he will comprehend countless laws at an astonishing speed and refine himself.

Hongjun was scheming, but Yang Gui was scheming too.

After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at the countless ancient gods below, turned around, and disappeared into the East Sea.

"From this day forward, I am the Ancestor of the Returning to the Mysterious Dao!"

······

Watching the two Dao Lords disappear one after the other.

The group of deities exchanged glances and gradually disappeared into the East China Sea.

Today's battle had a tremendous impact on these ancient saints; even as quasi-saints, it would take them a long time to process it.

After most of the people had left, Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, looked at the calm East China Sea with a gloomy expression and cold eyes.

"The foremost male immortal was the Eastern King Duke, utterly incompetent and immoral, who wreaked havoc in the primordial world, disrespecting the Heavenly Way and the Dao Ancestor! He has already been annihilated by Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

"Demon race, wipe out the remaining evil forces in the East Sea!"

"To spread the glory of my demon race!!"

"kill!"

boom!

Above the nine heavens, countless demons once again appeared.

Demonic energy filled the sky, scattering the boundless golden clouds.

These are demon soldiers summoned by Donghuang Taiyi from the Heavenly Court.

The ten demon saints were pale, and the demon gods beside them were even more listless.

With the Chaos Bell atop his head, Donghuang Taiyi, carrying a large number of demons, flew into Penglai.

This scene deeply shocked the ancient gods.

"The demon race is rising in power!"

Especially the twelve Ancestral Witches who had not yet left, suppressed their killing intent and finally flew away from here.

"The demon race, the great enemy of the witch race!"

Before the creatures of the East Sea could react to the departure of the two Dao Ancestors, they saw an overwhelming horde of demons descending from the sky.

In the chaos, bloodshed erupted once more in the East China Sea, with shouts of killing echoing through the heavens.

"We all revere the Demon Emperor; those who surrender will not be killed!"

Di Jun's vast voice resounded throughout the East China Sea.

Liwei!

Taking advantage of Hongjun's killing of Dongwanggong, Dijun wanted to establish his authority in the East Sea.

His majestic eyes gazed into the depths of the East China Sea.

There, a group of ancient dragons sat silently watching the East Sea turn into a river of blood.

The Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, cried out in grief and indignation, "Ancestor, are we just going to watch Di Jun annihilate my Scaled Armor Clan?!"

"Alas..." Azure Dragon sat on the Ancestral Dragon and sighed softly, "The Dragon Clan has committed countless sins and is boundless in karma. They can hardly protect themselves anymore."

"It was only through the Dragon Ancestor and Dragon Master's schemes that the Dragon Clan managed to offset some of their karma, but they are no longer able to protect the Scaled Armor Clan."

"From this day forward, all members of the Scaled Armor Clan will be classified as demons."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

Burdened by boundless karma, many dragons not only failed to increase their cultivation but also began to regress.

So many years have passed, and Qinglong, who fell from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, has still not recovered his strength.

As for Ao Guang, he even fell to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Staring blankly at the empty throne of the First Emperor, Ao Guang felt a pang of sorrow.

The words that Zu Long had told him before he left echoed in his ears.

"For the dragon race to protect itself, it must cultivate good relations with all the races of the prehistoric world..."

······

The great war lasted for 30,000 years.

It spreads from the East China Sea to its shores.

It is still spreading into the primordial land, with the three ancient races either vassals, voluntarily, or forced to join the demon race's forces.

We all revere the Demon Emperor!

Emperor Jun used war to sustain his war effort.

The Ten Great Demon Saints commanded countless demon gods and became famous throughout the primordial land.

The myriad paths transmitted by the Dao Ancestor Guixuan were presented one by one to Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

"My demon race will surpass the three ancient races!"
