Soul-Gathering Bead, Wu Chu

Chapter 51 Soul-Gathering Pearl, Ten Crows Emerge

Inside the Lingxiao Palace of the Primordial Heavenly Court.

this day.

The various demon saints of the demon race gathered together, reporting to each other on the progress of their respective soul collection efforts.

Because of the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the reform of the Heavenly Rules, and the holding of the Heavenly Marriage, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi gained a great deal of merit, which enabled them to sever their three corpses.

Now, both of them are at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, possessing great supernatural powers.

Besides the two of them, the demon race also had four other quasi-saints whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Great Divine Power realm.

They are Kunpeng, the demon master who created the demon script; Fuyi Qin, the demon emperor who created the demon music; Xihe, the sun goddess who is one of the main characters of the Heavenly Marriage; and Bai Ze, the brilliant strategist and prime minister of the demon race.

All four of them were powerful cultivators in the late Quasi-Saint stage.

In addition to these, the demon race also includes quasi-saints, various demon saints, and the patriarchs of the various demon clans.

There were more than twenty powerful individuals in total.

Emperor Jun, seated on his throne, frowned after examining the Soul-Gathering Pearls presented by everyone.

"Of the twenty-four Soul-Gathering Beads, one is still not fully collected. Who is in charge of that?" As he spoke, he picked up the almost empty Soul-Gathering Bead.

As the demons below looked at each other in bewilderment, Fuxi, sitting on the throne, calmly spoke.

"It's my responsibility!"

Click!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Donghuang Taiyi, who was sitting opposite him, crushed the armrest of the throne.

Just as he was about to lash out, Di Jun glared at him, shutting him down.

"Hmph! I don't care anymore!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

Leaving behind a group of silent demon saints.

Di Jun watched Donghuang Taiyi leave and sighed helplessly.

Then, he turned to Fuxi and said, "Emperor Xi, since you are unwilling, why not entrust this task to someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi advised, "Your Majesty, this matter is extremely contrary to the principles of Heaven and Earth, especially since humans are also part of our demon race! How could you do such a thing?"

At this moment, the Kunpeng Ancestor sneered, "Xi Huang, when have humans ever been a member of my demon race? That's just wishful thinking on your part. You may acknowledge them, but the humans may not even acknowledge you!"

"Indeed, Emperor Xi, let's not discuss this matter any further. Things have progressed to this point, and there's no turning back!"

After saying this, he stopped Fuxi, who was still trying to persuade him, and then picked up the empty Soul-Gathering Pearl and asked the Demon Saint below.

"We're still short by hundreds of billions; who's willing to take on that responsibility?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

After he finished speaking, more than ten demon saints immediately stepped forward, all of whom were willing to succeed Fuxi.

Upon seeing this, Fuxi's face darkened, and he left his throne, returning to his Xihuang Palace.

Upon seeing this, Di Jun glanced at him and then ignored him.

Di Jun glanced around below and then said to Bashe, the newly appointed demon saint, "Bashe, you collect them the fastest, so I'll entrust this last one to you to complete!"

Immediately afterwards, Di Jun passed the Soul-Gathering Pearl to Bashe.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, a mere shortage of hundreds of billions is nothing more than a few bites from Bashe," Bashe assured him with great joy after receiving the package.

"Hmph, wait until you find a large tribe that can feed you!"

The ghost chariot that had lost the contest with him was seen laughing at him from the sidelines.

"Haha, Senior Ghost Chariot, what is there to fear? Just because you can't find it doesn't mean you can't go to the ancestral land of the human race. Just wait for my good news!" With that, he transformed into a black streak of light and sped off towards the prehistoric continent.

After it departed, Di Jun passed all the Soul-Gathering Pearls to Kunpeng.

"Demon Master, offer these as sacrifices first, then forge the Witch-Slaying Sword as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, then I shall immediately return to refine them!" Kunpeng accepted the twenty-odd Soul-Gathering Pearls, licked his lips, and smiled.

"Go!" Di Jun waved his hand.

Just then, a report came from outside the palace.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a demon soldier rushed in from outside the hall in a panic.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Di Jun asked, frowning.

"Your Majesty, all the princes have descended to the mortal realm at the same time!" the demon soldier hurriedly said upon seeing Emperor Jun's anger.

"What?! Well, these ten rebellious sons have defied the heavens! They dare disobey this Emperor?!"

As expected, Di Jun slammed his fist on the table and stood up, furious.

"My lords, who is willing to go and capture my ten rebellious sons?" Di Jun turned to the dozen or so demon saints below the stage and asked.

Just as the demon saints were looking at each other in bewilderment, the demon soldier spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, I think I saw His Majesty the Eastern Emperor chasing after the ten princes."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Never mind, since Taiyi is here, let him be!" Dijun shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Xihe said with dissatisfaction, "Since they want to go and have fun, then let them go. Why won't Your Majesty allow it?"

"What do you know? Ten suns suddenly appear in the sky, who will bear the karma of all living beings caused by this?" At this point, Di Jun couldn't help but sigh.

"But you weren't this worried when you slaughtered humans," Xihe muttered to herself.

"How can that be the same?"

"The purpose of refining primordial vengeful spirits is to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, but what can their actions in the mortal realm bring to my demon race?"

Di Jun said angrily.

A few days later.

The Da Yi tribe.

At this time, a major event occurred in the Dayi tribe.

That means the great wizard Yi died.

Just a few days ago, a demon saint of the demon race, who was at the quasi-saint level, plundered several human tribes, including one of the witch tribes that also belonged to the Houtu Ancestral Witch.

Just as the demon saint was about to arrive at the Nu'e tribe, because of Hou Yi and Chang'e, Da Yi of the Dayi tribe suddenly made a move.

One side consisted of the demon saint Bashe from the demon race, and the other was the great witch Da Yi from the witch race.

After a fierce battle, due to the vast difference in strength between the two sides, the great shaman Yi sacrificed himself on the shore of the East Sea.

However, that Bashe demon saint was also not having an easy time.

Despite being injured by the self-destruction of the Great Witch Yi, his evil corpse shielded her from the damage, causing her considerable Daoist injury.

However, because the innate spiritual treasure that had severed the evil corpse was shattered, his already recently advanced Quasi-Saint realm instantly reverted to the peak of the Great Luo realm.

However, the death of the great shaman Yi brought a brief period of peace to both the Nu'e and Yi tribes.

Today is the day of Hou Yi, the son of the great shaman Yi.

He received special favor from the ancestral witch Houtu, who bestowed upon him a drop of her blood, enabling him to successfully break through to the level of a great witch and become the new great witch of the Dayi tribe.

Just as he was about to take revenge, ten more suns appeared in the sky!

Why say "again"?

Because before this, there had been two instances where these ten golden crows appeared together in the prehistoric world.

This is the third time.

As the saying goes, both old and new grudges came together.

Hou Yi, knowing they were all demons anyway, decided to first slaughter these ten Golden Crows at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm to avenge the spirits of all living beings in the primordial world.

then.

He then bid farewell to his wife, picked up his father Da Yi's magical bow, and embarked on a journey of revenge.

Just as he embarked on his journey, the Holy Spirit Emperor's avatar, far away in the Yuan Yi Realm, opened his eyes from his divine throne.

"nightmare!"

As Gu Changqing finished speaking.

In the center of the main hall, a plume of black smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air, then condensed and transformed into a human figure.

"His Majesty!"

"Go and inform Huang Tian in the human realm to prepare to collect the corpse of the golden crow that fell from the sky. I have a great use for it!" Gu Changqing said calmly.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

"Also, after informing Huang Tian, ​​go to the foot of Buzhou Mountain and bring back the Bashe Demon Saint of the demon race!"

Despite being somewhat confused, Nightmare obeyed the order.

Then he turned around and transformed into a wisp of gray smoke, which slowly disappeared.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing closed his eyes again and immersed his mind in the great will of the gods.

With the great will of the gods and using the gods who walked in the primordial world as a base, he explored almost the entire primordial world like a net.

Especially during the recent prelude to the Lich War, when Hou Yi shot down the sun, he paid close attention.

At the same time, he also noticed an uninvited guest entering his field of vision.

All I saw was...

In the Nü'e tribe, a ragged, ascetic Taoist priest lies on the parched earth.

It looked like it was about to die from the sun, but its eyes were surprisingly bright.

At this moment, he stared directly at the ten suns in the sky, a strange smile appearing in his eyes.
