Chapter 739
The Demon Lord's Scheme
The power of this strike was so great that it seemed to cover the sky and the earth.
It was accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, its ferocious power overwhelming, giving one the feeling that it was unstoppable.
But in the next instant, Jiang Shu and the others disappeared without a trace, leaping to another location.
The impact caused the earth to shake violently, and even the Golden Crow Small World seemed extremely unstable, showing signs of cracking inch by inch.
Thousands of miles away, Jiang Shu and his companions appeared here.
Looking at the center of the power eruption, their pupils contracted, and they all sensed a problem.
trouble!
This is a huge problem!
In an instant, the Burning Heaven Ancestor in the distance turned his gaze and stared intently at Jiang Shu and the other powerful figures.
This insane half-step demon lord almost immediately...
They then detected the location where Jiang Shu and the other human venerables had made their spatial jump.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ancestor Burning Heaven roared forward again, intending to kill these powerful figures directly.
As soon as he made his move, countless crimson wings fell from the sky. Each wing expanded rapidly in the firmament, like pillars of heaven, and fell to the ground, connecting to form a whole and igniting a fire of destruction.
The flames rapidly expanded, covering an area of thousands of miles.
Although the Burning Heaven Ancestor had lost his mind, at this moment, he unleashed his full power, covering tens of thousands of miles.
At the same time, it subtly stirred up the Daoist principles of fire in this place, making all the powerful figures present feel a sense of suffocation.
"rush!"
Jiang Shu let out a low shout and unleashed his full power, unleashing the Panwu Heaven-Opening Axe.
Not only that, but the many Dao Venerables and sect leaders around him also did their best to forcefully create an opening in the sky full of fire.
"It seems that the human race is in big trouble."
Ao Qing stood in the midst of the myriad demon formation, gazing at the battlefield in the distance, when suddenly his brows furrowed.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Isn't it a good thing that those damned humans are in big trouble? In the end, Ancestor Burning Heaven killed them here, and they became the result of the Immortal Embryo's development."
The Long-Armed Ape King sat cross-legged and spoke fiercely.
"That's not necessarily true."
The Kunpeng Demon Lord hovered atop the Myriad Demon Formation, gazing at the battlefield, and said, "For some reason, I also have a strange feeling."
“Ancestor Burning Heaven, after killing these humans, there really are no problems.”
"They're dead, so be it. We have the Demon Lord's protection."
"They also have methods given to them by the Dao Master of their own sect."
……
All the demon lords present spoke up, choosing to remain silent.
The current Burning Heaven Ancestor is completely irrational; if they make a move, they will only suffer an attack from him.
It would be better to let the humans take the hit.
At that moment, among the demons, Golden Horn narrowed his eyes, looking at the distant battlefield with a somewhat solemn expression.
"The current Ancestor Burning Heaven is not as powerful as before; he is in danger."
"What's the best solution?"
Jin Jiao kept thinking that if Jiang Shu himself had a problem, his identity would inevitably be exposed.
Just then, a chuckle suddenly rang in his ears.
"Kid, what's wrong? Are you worried about your original body?"
The sound startled Jinjiao, but he immediately realized that it was the remnant soul of the Bashe demon lord who was entangled with him.
When he acquired the inheritance, this Bashe demon lord practically devoured both Jinjiao and his original form, Jiang Shu.
Surprisingly, the snake did not expose him directly. Instead, it possessed him and even took the initiative to help him cover up.
"Of course."
Jinjiao remained expressionless, but a wisp of thought hidden deep within his soul responded.
"The fact that Ancestor Burning Heaven has such a cultivation level at this moment is probably due to someone tampering with it."
Bashe chuckled. As a demon lord, his vision far surpassed that of these demon lords, and he saw through the demon lord's methods:
"Hehe, do you know that back in the battlefield, a Fire Dao Master of the Golden Crow Clan perished here?"
"of course I know."
Golden Horn responded immediately.
Upon arriving here, he immediately obtained all the information the Dragon Clan had about the Heavenly Court ruins, in great detail.
The Dragon Clan had been plotting to create that immortal embryo for countless years, so their records in this regard would naturally remain unchanged.
"That Lord of the Great Dao of Fire is named Di Yang. He is the Vice Lord of the Heavenly Court and the younger brother of the Lord of the Heavenly Court."
"Back then, Di Yang was the first Dao Lord to fall, dying after being besieged by many powerful figures, and perishing in this world."
"Do you know something? When we reach our level, dying of old age means being completely assimilated by the Heavenly Dao. This is absolutely fatal. Unless we use a so-called immortal embryo, our main body will definitely perish. Our clones may remain, but they will never be able to unleash the combat power of a demon lord."
"What do you mean?"
Jinjiao was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why Bashe would tell him these things.
"Next comes the key point. In a sense, only demon lords who are killed by others have room to leave behind a backup plan."
"Because of being killed, the trend of transforming into the Dao of the main body came to an abrupt end, or rather, it will be very slow."
The Demon Lord Bashe recounted some mysterious matters that only demon lords would know:
"I, Xi'e, and that white tiger were all killed and perished, which is why our bodies were left behind to make arrangements for future generations."
"Take a guess, did Di Yang leave behind any backup plans?"
"My own backup plan?"
A few doubts arose in Jinjiao's mind. He wondered how he could know the contingency plan left behind by a powerful demon lord before his death.
Just as he was pondering, his eyes suddenly trembled, and he suddenly remembered the doubts that his main body had sent him before.
Why did the Burning Heaven Ancestor suddenly transform into a Daoist and infinitely approach the direction of the Daoist Master of the Great Dao of Fire?
The reason why the Burning Heaven Ancestor discovered these changes was because he was the first to break through the bronze gate in that earth-shattering place.
Subsequently, neither Jiang Shu, nor Tai Xuan Dao Zun, nor even the sect leader of Tian Kui Sect were able to find out the truth.
All they knew was that when the Burning Heaven Ancestor entered this world and then emerged again, he had gone completely mad, and his strength was constantly increasing.
"What exactly did he encounter in this world? The Five Decays Poison might have some effect, but it could never have caused this."
Golden Horn pondered continuously, and it seemed as if he had vaguely grasped something.
If Jiang Shu were there, he would surely be able to figure it out.
But this was just a thought after all.
The next moment, Bashe's sneer rang out.
"Kid, I thought you were so clever to be able to fool that old dragon and old phoenix. Well then, let me tell you the truth."
"Perhaps that old phoenix doesn't know, but I was buried here, and my divine sense often travels around, so I know better than them what exactly happened here." "If I'm not mistaken, Di Yang's body has probably already been swallowed by that brainless phoenix."
"What!?"
Jin Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The corpse of a supreme expert was actually eaten by the Burning Heaven Ancestor?!
"That's right, in my opinion, that's probably the only reason."
Bashe continued speaking:
"You showed me that last time, kid. Do you remember that so-called Myriad Spirits Forging Venerable Array? I never thought they could create something so interesting in later generations."
"This thing can at most raise the Burning Heaven realm to the half-step Dao Lord realm, and it still has no future."
"The transformation of the Dao is the struggle between the will of Heaven and the laws of the Great Dao, which is something that every Dao Lord must go through."
"If I'm not mistaken, the so-called influence of the great formation might be to go against the grain, allowing oneself to be transformed by the Dao, and then using the power of all living beings to stabilize one's mind, forcibly aligning oneself with the Great Dao, and creating a Dao Lord."
"It's a pity that this reaction gave Di Yang a loophole to exploit."
Bashe chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiao's pupils suddenly contracted as he realized what the problem was.
"Senior, do you mean that Ancestor Burning Heaven has already been silently taken over by the Heavenly Court?!"
"Didn't that Phoenix Lord notice?"
Jin Jiao was startled.
"Even if they could tell, those old phoenix bastards wouldn't risk looking. Do they really think it's just a matter of taking a look?"
Bashe clicked his tongue and then spoke.
"I'm just guessing, but if it's true, when that fool swallowed Di Yang's corpse, there were three possible meanings in his mind: one was the will of Heaven to transform into the Dao, another was his own will, and the last was Di Yang's will. Do you think Di Yang could hide among them?"
"If that old phoenix were to investigate further, it might be able to confront the will of Heaven and accelerate its own destiny."
"This……"
Jin Jiao suddenly awoke with a start, and a deep chill suddenly surged through my body.
If that's really the case, then the Heavenly Court's schemes are probably truly unfathomable.
After a moment of thought, amidst the joy of the many demon lords, Golden Horn suddenly spoke.
"Esteemed seniors, I have something to say, and I hope you will listen to me."
"Golden Horn, if you have something to say, just say it."
Ao Qing spoke with a pleasant expression.
Without a doubt, Golden Horn's prestige among the demon race had greatly increased during the previous great battle; he was no longer the junior figure who relied on luck in everyone's eyes.
"Seniors, have you ever considered whether Ancestor Burning Heaven also has problems?"
Jinjiao pondered for a moment before speaking.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the demon lords seemed strange, and one of them spoke up:
“Golden Horn, of course we can see that something is strange, after all, even Ancestor Burning Heaven has gone mad.”
No, I'm talking about something else.
Jinjiao slowly shook his head, then said, "Seniors, what exactly is it that makes Ancestor Fentian so close to the Demon Lord realm?"
"At this time, the Phoenix Lord was still influenced by the Dao here before, which led to the union of God and Dao."
At this point, Demon Lord Fengyuan shook his head slightly:
"Alas, even when Ancestor Burning Heaven was promoted to the final stage, he was only able to step into the realm of the Fire Dao Ancestor for a moment, but that was all."
"After stepping into this moment, the ancestor will turn into nothingness and perish completely."
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures present nodded slightly.
This is a matter that has long been a consensus.
"Seniors, I'm thinking about something else."
Jinjiao pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"Since that's the case, and we both know where Dao Hua comes from, we know that a Dao Lord named Di Yang once perished here. He was also a Golden Crow and a powerful cultivator of the Dao of Fire."
"It was that one from back then who did not become a Daoist, but perished in the great battle."
Upon hearing this, the demon lords pondered for a moment.
"You mean, could it be that the Burning Heaven Ancestor was able to reach such a realm because of the intervention of that Emperor Yang?"
"Correct."
Jinjiao nodded slightly, and spoke after gathering his strength:
"Seniors, I have just asked the Bashe senior within my body, and he once said that he had traveled and seen traces of that person."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled, and then they all turned their gazes toward the White Tiger Demon Lord standing to the side.
"This……"
The White Tiger Demon Lord's expression was strange; he certainly understood why the other demon lords viewed him that way.
Naturally, it's all for the sake of inheriting the White Tiger Demon Lord's legacy.
After pondering for a moment, the White Tiger Demon Lord spoke, "My clan's ancestor left behind not much power, and often falls into a deep slumber, but Emperor Yang..."
He pondered for a moment, as if searching for fragments of memories inherited from his lineage, then, as if certain, he spoke:
"The only thing I can confirm is that Emperor Yang perished under the combined attack of the various demon lords."
Hearing this, all the demons present were terrified.
"Doesn't that mean the Phoenix Lord was deceived?"
The Demon Lord Fengyuan exclaimed in surprise.
Without a doubt, if this is a tactic or underhanded move by the Heavenly Court, then the Burning Heaven Ancestor will be in extreme danger, and all of them must be careful.
Thinking of this, Golden Horn raised his head, looked at the Burning Heaven Ancestor who was chasing after the Human Dao Venerable, and said:
"This is just a speculation by me and Senior Bashe, but perhaps there are other possibilities."
"We'll have to give it a try after all!"
Phoenix Abyss Demon Lord immediately spoke.
He was arguably the most eager person present.
Since Ancestor Burning Heaven is involved in the Phoenix Clan's grand plan, the Dragon Clan might not be greatly affected. However, if something happens to Ancestor Burning Heaven, the Phoenix Clan will definitely suffer losses.
"Should we make a move to attract the attention of Ancestor Burning Heaven?"
The White Tiger Demon Lord sneered and said, "Those human experts fought with all their might and barely managed to hold them off, and they were in a sorry state. If we were to intervene, I'm afraid..."
At this point, the other demon lords present understood without saying a word.
The risk is just too great!
Upon hearing this, Jinjiao smiled slightly, clearly having already made up his mind. He had discussed this matter multiple times with the remnant soul of Bashe and confirmed it to be correct.
“That’s perfectly fine. We should attack where the enemy is bound to defend. Now that the Human Dao Venerable and the Burning Heaven Ancestor are both tied down, and the Heavenly Court has already used up its backup plans, they may still have some, but we definitely have the upper hand.”
Upon hearing this, all the demon lords present were moved.
They are now safe. With the Burning Heaven Ancestor involved, he is free to move around.
"The next step for the Heavenly Court will be to shatter this world and turn the Golden Crow World into nourishment for the entire Immortal Embryo."
"Let's take action and intercept a portion as soon as possible, according to the plan our ancestor devised!"
"Without the attack of the human race's venerable one, what does it matter if there is a great formation? Unless the Burning Heaven Ancestor returns, or the Demon Lord's methods appear."
"A great victory will only be achieved on our demon race's side!" (End of Chapter)
