Chapter 743
The Demon Lord Appears
"I wonder what kind of extraordinary methods that Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor used to create such a twisted and terrifying monster."
Looking at that thing, everyone was dumbfounded and somewhat at a loss.
Especially the supreme leader of the Puppet Sect.
His cultivation in the Puppet Path was almost at its peak.
Even he, looking at this number one villain, had an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
This method has even surpassed the Puppet Dao.
Even if he spent a thousand years, he could not achieve this.
This is a completely new life form.
Incredibly powerful.
The first fiend soared into the air, seemingly intending to leave this place and head towards the void.
But the next moment, the old ancestor of Burning Heaven, who had been sitting there, suddenly fixed his eyes on the first ferocious beast, let out a long roar, and immediately pounced over.
"kill!"
The raging phoenix fire fell from the sky, scattering countless rays of light, its target being the number one ferocious beast.
"What is that thing that tried to kill me!?"
The First Fierce One's eyes were icy cold. He suddenly looked up at the Burning Heaven Ancestor in the sky, his eyes shooting out killing intent that illuminated the void. He then immediately made his move.
The two sides clashed, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, the void to become chaotic, and terrifying auras to erupt in all directions!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
As heaven and earth swirled, all sorts of profound principles erupted during the great battle.
Even Dao Venerables and Demon Venerables dared not easily intervene.
They used various great techniques to protect themselves.
The Great Dao flowed around me, constantly observing the battle.
Some Dao Venerables and Demon Venerables even sensed changes in the Great Dao from each of these battles.
However, to everyone's surprise, the attack of the Burning Heaven Ancestor was once again blocked by the First Fiend.
Upon seeing this, everyone was speechless.
It should be noted that among those present, no Venerable One could withstand the fierce attack of the Burning Heaven Ancestor, who had merged with the Divine Dao, yet the First Fiend managed to block it.
The rumors have been confirmed once again.
This number one ferocious beast might truly be an existence below the Dao Lord and Demon Lord, having reached the peak!
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The Ancestor of Burning Heaven roared madly, his aura shaking heaven and earth, and he used the Great Law of Fire to incinerate everything.
Chaos reigned, the laws of nature vanished, and the Golden Crow Heaven and Earth seemed to have been set ablaze by the Burning Heaven Ancestor, bursting into a violent fire.
A terrifying aura erupted, and they attacked one after another, going all out.
The Burning Heaven Ancestor relentlessly pursued and fought against the First Fierce Fiend, never abandoning him.
"What is the origin of this first fiend? How could it possibly block the Burning Heaven Ancestor?"
"I'm afraid he hasn't achieved enlightenment yet, nor does he seem to be infinitely close to the level of Ancestor Burning Heaven. Could it be that he's purely relying on his profound foundation?"
"Most likely!"
"If it weren't for Ancestor Burning Heaven breaking in, we probably wouldn't be a match for him."
Although the many powerful figures present could maintain their composure, they had already raised their minds to the limit.
At this moment, as the two peak experts made their move, this world collapsed, and the void surged in. As the two sides clashed, a massive amount of the essence of heaven and earth rushed towards them, making the surrounding area extremely dark and almost dry.
"boom!"
Inside the Golden Crow Tomb, another giant stele emerged, inscribed with some mysterious characters.
Every character is inscribed by the pure Dao, and only the strongest can understand it. In other words, those who have not reached that level cannot even understand it.
"Offer all things as sacrifices, and reshape my body!"
This sentence was short, but upon seeing this scene, all the powerful figures present were shocked and began to feel a sense of apprehension.
Upon seeing these words, the first ferocious beast, who was comparable to the Burning Heaven Ancestor, roared madly, a roar of extreme rage. Although its voice was not written, at this level, every word it uttered resonated with the Great Dao.
Everyone, both human and demon, could discern his words from the chaotic aura of the Great Dao:
"Heavenly Emperor, don't even think about killing me! Don't even think about using me as a sacrifice any longer!"
The First Fiend was furious, his aura surging, and he even began to suppress the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
However, this will only incite the ferocity of the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
The Burning Heaven Ancestor had completely gone mad, unleashing his cultivation power and launching a fierce attack, causing his cultivation to surge and increase once again.
Both sides went all out, and in the midst of the bloody battle, countless laws erupted, and the mysterious light stretched for billions of miles. The two sides collided violently, and one side was knocked back and the other was sent flying.
"Why are you blocking my way!"
The First Fiend spoke to the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
Unbeknownst to him, the Burning Heaven Ancestor himself was also in a state of mental confusion, and in some ways, he was even less capable than him.
As the two sides fought relentlessly, the surrounding divine power seemed to freeze, and chaos emerged, creating what appeared to be a dead end.
"Lend me everything, I'll use it for conquest!"
The First Fiend let out a low roar, vibrating its own laws. In an instant, the countless corpses that made up its body emitted halos, and then burst forth with a terrifying power, chasing after the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
"boom!"
A terrifying aura erupted, marking the all-out clash between the two sides. The resounding impact caused a tremendous shock to both.
Ancestor Burning Heaven retreated, his body shrouded in numerous complex Daoist auras that were eroding and entangling him.
Not far away, the First Fiend was also engulfed in an inextinguishable divine fire, his body charred black and constantly oozing corpse oil.
The two sides fought endlessly, driven by madness and rage, yet they were never able to leave this Golden Crow World.
This scene, whether in the eyes of the Heavenly Court or the Demon Clan Venerables, seemed like a sacrifice placed on an altar.
The Phoenix Abyss Demon Lord's expression was troubled as he gazed at the distant Burning Heaven Ancestor, then let out a long sigh and said:
"This is all for the sake of the ancestor's grand plan!"
The same applies to the other powerful individuals.
The First Fiend exerted all its strength, emanating different Daoist auras from its body, with almost no distinction between primary and secondary ones, all of which fell upon the body of the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
In that instant, Ancestor Burning Heaven was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
The fiercest creature didn't linger in battle; seizing the opportunity, it seemed intent on escaping this world of golden crows.
But at that moment, the Burning Heaven Ancestor roared to the sky, and crimson flames began to rise continuously from his body.
The flames were unlike anything before; they even began to burn him as well, flesh and hair, his very soul—everything seemed to have become a burning sacrifice. Vast and boundless!
A terrifying aura descended, making the many powerful figures present feel extremely uneasy and restless.
At that very instant, the Burning Heaven Ancestor trembled slightly, and a terrifyingly powerful aura underwent a transformation within his body. Simultaneously, countless things in heaven and earth began to ignite with a flame.
This includes the many powerful onlookers, the monster itself, and even the many human venerables watching from afar in the void.
"This flame?"
The sect leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect looked at the flames erupting from his body and was immediately horrified.
Not only him, but the other human venerables also had similar flames on their bodies.
However, at this moment, the flames burned freely. They merely suppressed them slightly and did not interfere further, instead gazing intently into the distance.
In that instant, everything burst into flames, and the Burning Heaven Ancestor himself was the most important and largest spark of fire!
boom!
Terrifying divine fire soared into the sky, shaking the surrounding area. At this moment, the Golden Crow World could not withstand it and shattered into pieces.
Ancestor Burning Heaven rose up proudly, his body surrounded by extremely dense fire spiritual energy. At the same time, the Great Dao of Fire descended upon this place.
His strength surged at that moment, as if he had crossed the highest mountain peak and was now going downhill.
At that moment, all the powerful figures understood one thing.
At this moment, Ancestor Burning Heaven had already stepped into the realm of Dao Lord and Demon Lord!
Lord of the Path of Fire!
Upon witnessing this scene, the First Fiend trembled violently, his eyes filled with shock and rage. He pointed a finger at the Burning Heaven Ancestor and spoke angrily:
"I understand now, I understand everything, it's all their old tricks!"
The Burning Heaven Ancestor ignored him and instead focused all his efforts on attacking the First Fiend.
Given his current state, once he becomes the Demon Lord, he can only sustain himself for a few breaths before he perishes.
But at this moment, the Burning Heaven Ancestor still had his sights set on the other party.
In less than a fraction of a second, the Burning Heaven Ancestor pierced straight through the First Fiend's body, tearing it apart from the middle.
"puff!"
A cloud of blood mist rose into the sky, and the first ferocious beast let out a mournful howl, desperately trying to reconstruct itself.
But the next moment, countless divine flames fell from the sky.
With a hum, everything in heaven and earth was ignited, and time and space became offerings for the divine fire ignited by the Burning Heaven Ancestor Temple!
All that could be heard was a booming roar of burning; the monster that had been locked in a fierce battle with the Burning Heaven Ancestor was now reduced to a vast amount of ashes.
Even more immense power surged forth from the monster's corpse and poured into the final, complete Golden Crow World.
Seeing this scene, just before the Heavenly Dao was about to be assimilated, the eyes of the Burning Heaven Ancestor became somewhat clearer.
Previously, the Burning Heaven Ancestor had been in a state of madness, but now that he has stepped onto the edge of the Dao Transformation stage, he has regained a little bit of his sanity.
However, this brief moment of rationality was not enough for him to launch another attack.
His figure gradually dissipated into the world.
Rays of rainbow light burst forth from his body.
The feathers on its body, as if illusory, turned into powder and gradually dissipated.
The Burning Heaven Ancestor was still in the sky, but his figure had been completely locked by the Heavenly Dao.
None of the powerful figures present emitted the Great Dao.
The entire world is under the control of the Heavenly Dao.
The flames around the Burning Heaven Ancestor's body continued to burn fiercely.
But this burning is gradually weakening.
Until the last glimmer of light descended from the sky and fell to the ground.
If given enough time...
This piece of land may become a top-tier resource point, after all, it was personally evolved by the Dao Lord of the Great Dao of Fire.
However, this will not happen at this time.
A mysterious power descended, and the power unleashed by the Burning Heaven Ancestor and the First Ferocious Beast in the great battle, along with the dissipation of their physical bodies and souls, seemed to have formed the most precious sacrifices.
A vast, ocean-like power was continuously drawn out, causing the Heavenly Court's experts and the demon race to retreat. Not a single one dared to approach.
If we really get close, then there will probably only be death.
The powerful figures from the Heavenly Court and the venerable ones from the Demon Clan left this Golden Crow World as quickly as possible, fearing that they would be affected by this power and have their power drained as well.
At this moment, the three parties who were fighting to the death in the Golden Crow World are now also in the void, but none of them have made a move, and they remain silent to each other.
Jiang Shu frowned, his voice low and powerful:
"As expected, my guess was right. Those powerful figures were the sacrifices for the resurrection."
Everyone present was deeply shocked.
You must understand, this so-called sacrificial ceremony completely exceeded their expectations.
First, many powerful figures perished here. Then, various powers were left behind by the various demon lords. Finally, a monster transformed from countless corpses from the battle and the Burning Heaven Ancestor, who had completely ascended to the Dao Lord realm, were offered as sacrifices.
Without a doubt, this was probably the highest-level and most prestigious ritual in the history of the vast and powerful Demon Realm.
Who is the object of the sacrifice?
At this moment, everyone was still somewhat undecided.
It is unknown which Heavenly Emperor or which celestial being it is.
At that moment, the world changed again—no, not just that Golden Crow World, but also this entire void!
All that could be heard from this void was a series of deep heartbeats.
thump!
thump!
thump!
The sound was incredibly slow and extremely heavy, like both the heartbeat of a fetus in its mother's womb and the muffled thunder of heaven and earth.
Many powerful figures present felt a chill run down their spines.
The venerable ones in the Heavenly Court wore expressions of deep emotion, their eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
"After so many years of waiting, it's finally over!"
"His Majesty is finally returning!"
"Now that we have so many offerings, His Majesty will surely defy the heavens and come to power!"
Seeing the reactions of the many powerful figures in the Heavenly Court, the faces of the demon clan lords were also extremely grave.
In the Demon Realm, becoming a Demon Lord is practically equivalent to being the head of a major power.
But if the Heavenly Court were to return, these demon lords would definitely not have the status they have now.
The two sides are in a standoff.
Jiang Shu suddenly raised his chest and felt a strange fluctuation.
That was transmitted from within him along with the World Tree and the Tongtian Jianmu.
Looking up into the depths of the void, he took a deep breath, his face showing horror.
Amidst the vast天地 (heaven and earth), a great sun suddenly rose into the sky, and within that great sun, one could vaguely see a divine soul.
That divine soul was not incomplete; it was vast and boundless, and was currently absorbing the power of the fallen Ancestor Burning Heaven and many other powerful figures, growing rapidly as if it were about to enter the realm of Dao Lord.
Everyone was immediately horrified, feeling a suffocating sense of oppression.
At that very moment, two terrifying auras suddenly erupted from within the imperial palace.
Amidst the changing winds and clouds, amidst the ruins of the fallen Heavenly Court, a blazing radiance shines with immortal brilliance, eternal and timeless.
Above the void, a mighty dragon surged forward, its power overwhelming the heavens, a sight that shook the ages! (End of Chapter)
