Chapter 392: Chapter 150: All heavens are silent, gods and demons roar together, above the ninth heaven, he transforms into a deity, slaying gods and Buddha!_7
At the center of the Dao stage, Dao Taixu was sitting upright on a meditation mat, preaching to the disciples of the Daoist Gate beneath him.
Below him, elders like Goddess Yu Xuan were lined on both sides, mirroring the way the Buddhists from the Western Heaven preach.
Bodhisattva Jia Lan, a kind of venerable one.
At this moment, the entire Wan Yu Sky was filled with the vast divine sound of Dao Taixu.
He used his voice to blend with the Dao, teaching the truth of the Great Dao to all beings of the Taiyi Sect.
However, just as everyone was listening with great interest, the vast divine sound suddenly disappeared.
Following that, the eyebrows on Dao Taixu’s face furrowed.
"Dao Master, what’s wrong?"
Goddess Yu Xuan immediately opened her eyes and curiously asked.
"Heaven is sending out a kill order, reducing by a tenth."
"Mingtu, it’s gone."
Dao Taixu chanted in a low voice, then said.
"What?! Mingtu is gone?"
"Dao Master, what’s going on?"
Upon hearing Dao Taixu’s words, Goddess Yu Xuan was instantly shocked.
Seven Stars fight Ten Lands, the Nine Skies confuse the Eight Wildernesses, the Ten Lands and the Eight Wildernesses, these are the ancient forbidden areas that have been preserved since the Mythical Era. They haven’t changed for millions of years, but now Dao Taixu says they’re gone?
Upon hearing Goddess Yu Xuan’s words, Dao Taixu remained silent.
Then, he looked up, indicating Goddess Yu Xuan to look towards the horizon.
Upon looking up, Goddess Yu Xuan immediately saw a terrifying blood-red sky curtain spanning across heaven and earth.
That’s not really a sky curtain, but a terrifying bloody rain covering the sky.
What is this...?
Seeing this bloody rain, Goddess Yu Xuan quickly understood what happened.
Between heaven and earth, a Heavenly Venerate has fallen!
And within this bloody rain, there is a life essence that is different from the falling of a Heavenly Venerate.
An ancient Divine Spirit has fallen!
Seeing this scene, Goddess Yu Xuan was immediately horrified, her fingers started to pinch uncertainly.
After a long while, an enlightenment suddenly flashed in her heart.
"Emperor Song entered the Demon World, blocked by Mingtu!"
"The Giant Elephant appeared, Mingtu fell?"
These fifteen words!
Goddess Yu Xuan looked at Dao Taixu.
"Hmm, the Giant Elephant appeared, Mingtu fell," Dao Taixu nodded.
Sss!
Was Mingtu really destroyed?!
Upon receiving Dao Taixu’s affirmative nod, Goddess Yu Xuan immediately gasped.
One person destroying Mingtu, how great is this power?
Goddess Yu Xuan didn’t know, but she did know that if it were her, she wouldn’t be able to do it.
"Dao Master, if you were to act, would you be able to do this?" Goddess Yu Xuan asked Dao Taixu.
Upon hearing Goddess Yu Xuan’s question, Dao Taixu remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, Goddess Yu Xuan no longer needed an answer.
Because she already knew, he couldn’t.
"Dao Master, how should we deal with this Emperor Song next?"
"I don’t know." Dao Taixu shook his head.
As he spoke, he looked into the void in front of him, his gaze complex.
The growth of Emperor Song really impressed him.
.....
Meanwhile, deep in the Wudi Demon Realm.
In a palace constructed of countless large, black pillars, decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, five figures were standing in silence.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the hall was somewhat heavy. There were five people in the hall, but no one was talking.
In the sky, streaks of bloody rain washed past the exterior of the hall.
The strong blood rain, even separated by the hall, they could still feel the despair and misery within it.
These five people were none other than the five ancient Demon Gods who had awakened in the Wudi Demon Realm.
Infinite Divine Spirits from the Wanmo Sect, Sky Demon Ocean, Heaven and Earth Demon Forest, Slaying God Cliff, Reincarnation Demon Cave, the five great forbidden lands of the Demon World.
Originally there were six, but the Ferryman of Mingtu was just annihilated, so now only five remained.
However, even if only five ancient Divine Spirits remained, their number still far exceeded that of the Immortal Realm and Divine World!
"He came, he really came!"
"Mingtu was destroyed by him!"
After a considerable amount of time had passed, a voice finally broke the prolonged silence within the grand hall.
Looking in the direction of the voice, startlingly, it was an old man standing near the side hall on the right.
The old man frowned deeply, his expression gloomy beyond bound.
No one responded to the old man’s words because they, too, felt the weighty silence.
"That fellow Tian Xuan, his actions are more destructive than constructive!"
Then, a low grunt was heard, yet it was unclear who had made it.
However, no matter how much they tried to conceal it, they could not deny one fact - Mingtu had fallen!
He was banished by the hand of a terrifying man in a black robe, who possessed formidable mana.
Mingtu became the first Ancient Devil God to perish right after manifesting!
"Gentlemen, what do we do now?"
An old man asked.
The expression on his face was not pleasant.
They had agreed to invite Emperor Song to the Demon World, a decision they made only under the oppressive power of Yin Tien Zi.
However, as ancient divine spirits, how could they allow someone to enter the Demon World and share their influence?
Thus, right after they agreed to Yin Tien Zi’s request, they began plotting.
The decision to let Mingtu obstruct Emperor Song was a unanimous one among them, even Mingtu himself volunteered.
But now, the result was out of their expectation - The Ferryman fell, and Mingtu was banished.
Emperor Song, it turned out, was truly formidable!
"There is no doubt that Emperor Song has considerable power. All of us misjudged," a venerable man said.
No one spoke in response to his statement, but their expressions agreed with its truth.
Indeed, they had all misjudged.
The ancient divine spirits had initially agreed to Yin Tien Zi’s proposition of admitting a new person into the Demon World due to his oppressive power.
They were confident that none of the younger generations could secure any advantage in front of them.
Their wrong judgment, however, was rectified quickly. Not even a full day had passed and they had already lost one of the six seats. They were genuinely terrified of that being!
"So we misjudged? What of it?"
"Do you all really want to let a human preside over the Demon World?"
"We are demons, and he’s just a human, what right does he have?"
"Gentlemen, let’s not be hasty."
"Since he crossed Mingtu, why not let him in?"
"If he’s eager for a challenge, then let him take on the challenge!"
"However, gaining control over the Demon world? That won’t be easy."
"We have fought innumerable years for this and yet, have achieved nothing. An outsider like him can’t possibly achieve anything just by showing up!"
"We just need to endure for a while. When the time is right, he will retreat naturally."
After hearing this being’s words, the crowd in the grand hall pondered for a bit before nodding in agreement, acknowledging its reasoning.
What other choices did they have, anyway?
With Mingtu being exterminated, they had no strategy left to resist.
Were they supposed to fight Emperor Song themselves?
Regrettably, they weren’t that foolish.
They had no intention of recklessly confronting an existence who could banish Mingtu single-handedly; it would be equivalent to seeking their own demise!
Moreover, Yin Tien Zi from Rebirth Hall helmed all of this.
Yin Tien Zi was not any younger than them!
Even though they were ancient Divine Spirits, they were unable to trump Yin Tien Zi.
Starting a conflict carelessly would only lead them to a disadvantage!
"Gentlemen, what should we do now?"
After laying out the course of action, someone asked.
"What else can we do? Go out and greet Him!" an old man asserted.
At his words, the rest of the individuals sank into silence before nodding in agreement.
They were not fools; they understood clearly.
Emperor Song’s act of extinguishing Mingtu today was undoubtedly a show of his power, an intimidation tactic towards them in addition to removing an obstacle in his path.
Although reluctant, they had to admit -
This intimidation, it was a powerful smackdown!
