Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1028 The Great Sage Who Moved Mountains, Lion Camel King

However, after returning to Pantian and seeing the sun hanging high in the sky, the Bull Demon King's thoughts changed completely!

His current thoughts are exactly the same as those of the Demon Master Kunpeng and the others!
Win the bet with the humans regarding Taiyi!

Bring the fallen Demon Emperor back from the past!

Based on this idea, the existence of Yun Zhongjun and his attitude become increasingly important in this world!

After all, it was a gamble between the human and demon races, and he was the only deity in the Chu mythology system!
His attitude reflects the bias of that mythological system.

If he leans towards the demon race, then Taiyi, who is preparing to be resurrected in the faith of the human race, will lean even more towards the Demon Emperor and will be able to more smoothly inherit the history belonging to the demon race.

Conversely, if Yun Zhongjun leans towards the human race, then during Taiyi's resurrection process, he will be more influenced by the human race, and after his resurrection, he will become increasingly biased towards the human race.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Bull Demon King now, Yun Zhongjun's attitude must be made clear during this great calamity!

Human or demon, Lord Yunzhong must make a choice!

Of course, if Yun Zhongjun ultimately chooses 'human', then the Bull Demon King wouldn't mind taking advantage of this great calamity to make Yun Zhongjun a true incarnation of Ao Bing.

The Bull Demon King remembered very clearly that the Southern Heaven was the realm of "rank and position," and the role of "rank and position" was even greater and more important than the "position of karma" in this heaven.

Among the positions in the Southern Heaven, one of the positions occupied by Ao Bing is the "Eastern Lord".

The Eastern Lord of the Southern Heaven is different from the Eastern Lord of the Pan Heaven—the Eastern Lord of the Pan Heaven is a side of Taiyi that leans towards humanity.

The Eastern Lord of the Southern Heaven is an assistant emperor beside the Demon Emperor Taiyi.

In the Southern Heaven, the power of the extraterrestrial human race was weak and scattered, and it did not occupy any share in that world. Therefore, the Eastern Lord was entirely a force belonging to the demon race!

If Ao Bing, the "Eastern Lord," can swallow the power of the Cloud Lord, then within the Taiyi mythological system, the existence of Taiyi will immediately shift towards the side of the demon race!
The demon race's chances of winning in that bet will greatly increase!

For the Bull Demon King, this was the real matter, concerning the fate of every demon!
The demon race now has two branches: the Taiyi demon of Pantian and the Difeng demon of Nantian.

In the Southern Heaven, the strength that Di Feng displayed was already incredibly terrifying—before seeing Taiyi's 'corpse,' the power that Di Feng displayed was the ultimate imagination of the Great Luo Immortal, as exemplified by the Bull Demon King!
In the Bull Demon King's judgment, even a peerless master of supernatural powers like the Demon Master Kunpeng, who originated from the ancient times, was no match for Emperor Feng of the Southern Heaven in terms of strength!

His strength was already extremely high. He had been sealed away but not killed during the conquests of three generations of god-kings in the Southern Heaven. After accepting the demonic path from Pantian, transforming into the Demon Emperor, and becoming the progenitor of the demonic race in the Southern Heaven, his strength reached a new level.

In the eyes of the Bull Demon King, putting aside the sages, just looking at the Great Luo level, only the resurrected Taiyi can suppress Difeng!

The demon race is the race of Mu Qiang—while they stubbornly guard their demon identity, they also have an extreme reverence for the strong.

Di Feng was the progenitor of the demon race in the Southern Heaven, and also a member of the demon race.

This means that if Di Feng were to come to Pantian and use his own strength to unite the demon races of Pantian and Nantian and become the king revered by both demon races, there would be no problem with that!

Even the demons of Pantian would accept Di Feng's identity!

This was something that the Bull Demon King absolutely could not accept.

Although this person brought the way of the demon race from Pantian to Nantian and spread the demon race there, at his core, he was still influenced by Pantian's "civilizing the four directions".

For him, the appearance of demons in the Southern Heaven was acceptable, and the demons of Pantian could also accept the demons of the Southern Heaven.

However, the emergence of a demon emperor among the demons of the Southern Heaven, who intends to overthrow the Heavenly Gang and become the king of the Pantian demons, is absolutely unacceptable!

That is why, for countless millennia, the Bull Demon King has been locked in a life-or-death struggle with Emperor Feng in the Southern Heaven.

Given Di Feng's demonstrated strength, if he could unite the demon races of Nantian and Pantian together, he could fully inherit the foundation passed down by the Pantian demon race, and a saint would be within reach. In this way, a true saint belonging to the demon race would emerge, and the demon race would truly have confidence.

Only then will the demon race be able to truly participate in the grand scheme of things.

To put it bluntly, given the current situation of the demon race, Di Feng's existence can completely complete the puzzle of the demon race. No one with a "orthodox" mindset has ever considered submitting to Di Feng and making him the king who unites the Pan Tian and Nan Tian demon races.

It should be noted that the demons of the Southern Heaven, including Di Feng, were all 'enlightened' by the Bull Demon King. If Di Feng could become the Demon Emperor who unites the Southern Heaven and Pan Heaven, the Bull Demon King would be the new 'Demon Master' revered by both demon clans, second only to the Bull Demon King!

After Emperor Feng ascends to sainthood, the power of both demon clans will fall into the hands of the Bull Demon King.

What a temptation this is?
Even so, the Bull Demon King still had no intention of compromising and was single-mindedly focused on fighting Emperor Feng in the Southern Heaven.

He even had the myth of devouring Taiyi and the ambition to become Taiyi himself, but he never thought of handing over the 'orthodoxy' of the demon race to Difeng.

From a certain perspective, the Bull Demon King actually regretted bringing the demon race's way to the Southern Heaven!
At the time, he also believed that the path of the demon race taking root and sprouting in Nantian was a good thing for the demon race.

However, after he achieved the Great Luo realm and truly witnessed the imperial abundance of the Southern Heaven, the Bull Demon King realized that it was a mistake for the demon race's path to take root and sprout in the Southern Heaven.

He fought fiercely with Di Feng in Nantian and was beaten unconscious... Deep down, he also had some thoughts of making amends for his mistakes.

That is why, for the Bull Demon King, the sun hanging high in the sky has become his longing.

A thought that could undo the mistakes he had made!

In the blink of an eye, the voice of the Bull Demon King rang out again.

"So, any of you brothers want to go check out that Blood Maple Forest?"

"I'll go!" A moment later, a heroic voice rang out from Moyun Cave.

It is none other than the Great Sage Who Moved Mountains, the Lion Camel King!
Lion Camel King stood up, stretched his limbs, and then slung a large sword over his shoulder.

When the back of the broadsword landed on his shoulder, Moyun Cave and Jilei Mountain seemed to sink a little – you must know that Jilei Mountain is the reflection of the Southern Mountain, the pillar of the South Pole, and the ancestral vein of the Southern Continent.

When that greatsword was revealed, Mount Jilei sank a bit, demonstrating just how heavy it was!
This is the Lion Camel King, the fourth-ranked of the Seven Great Sages.

They do not practice magic or hone their supernatural powers.

He then focused solely on cultivating one thing.

That's strength!
Before the Bull Demon King achieved the Great Luo status, he was known as the Mighty Bull King, possessing unparalleled strength. However, even the Mighty Bull King, in terms of brute force, was still somewhat inferior to the Great Sage Lion Camel King who moved mountains.

To prove the Dao through force—for other immortals and gods, this is just another saying.

The Great Sage Lion Camel King, who can move mountains, truly practiced according to these four words from the very beginning of his cultivation!

He truly believed that when power reaches its peak, one can attain enlightenment—the barrier of the Great Luo realm cannot be sensed?

That's because your own strength isn't strong enough!
The reason why the Great Luo cannot pass through the pass is because its own strength is not strong enough!

For the Great Sage Lion Camel King, who moved mountains, the idea that the opportunity had not yet arrived or that his foundation was insufficient was all utter nonsense!

If something fails, there's only one reason.

It's because my own strength isn't great enough or powerful enough!

And the solution to any problem is quite simple.

Make your strength even greater and more powerful!

Therefore, after achieving the pinnacle of Taiyi level, the other Great Saints have not made any progress in their strength for a very long time.

But the Great Sage Lion Camel King who moved mountains was different!

He is a demon god who hones his strength.

Take it one step at a time, be down-to-earth!

Although his progress in cultivating strength was extremely slow, his progress was still steady, step by step!
Tens of thousands of years ago, after the Seven Great Sages formed their sworn brotherhood, their already near-limited cultivation levels were further enhanced by their status as Great Sages. However, after that, the others all got stuck at a bottleneck.

But the Lion Camel King has been making progress all along!
Now he truly dares to say that his current strength is the greatest in the world!

Just how strong was he?

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Seven Great Sages swore brotherhood, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Monkey King, showed off his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) in front of everyone.

That divine weapon, which carries the lifeblood of humanity and has immeasurable weight, is so heavy that even a Great Luo Immortal would find it difficult to control. Even the other Great Saints, including the Mighty Bull King, could not shake the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

But the Great Sage Lion Camel King who moved mountains back then successfully shook the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
After tens of thousands of years of refinement, Lion Camel King was unsure just how strong he was now, or whether he could forcibly lift the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

But... the Lion Camel King's gaze swept across the faces of the other Great Sages.

He could guarantee that if they didn't use weapons to fight his brothers, apart from the Bull Demon King, who was a Great Luo Immortal, the others would only be a matter of one punch if he caught them!
This is the Lion Camel King.

Now, the Lion Camel King is the strongest in heaven and earth!

As for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Monkey King—his power comes from the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff that stabilizes the sea), not from his own power!
With the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, he is the unparalleled Great Sage Equal to Heaven, unmatched in the world.

Without the Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff), he's just an ordinary monkey!

Of course, without the Monkey King, the Ruyi Jingu Bang would just be an ordinary ingot used to suppress water.

Those two are complementary, mutually dependent, and mutually beneficial—only when they are together can they be considered complete!
The Lion Camel King had also heard some stories about this—that the reason why the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was able to wield the Ruyi Jingu Bang so freely was because when Emperor Yu the Great forged the Ruyi Jingu Bang, he took a piece from the divine stone that gave birth to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven as material.

"However, I'm afraid my footwork isn't that fast."

"Third brother, I'll have to trouble you to give me a ride."

"Otherwise, by the time I get there, the matter of Blood Maple Forest will have already been resolved."

"By the time I return, I will have missed my elder brother's banquet as well."

As the Lion Camel King spoke, his booming voice almost drowned out the thunderous roar from Mount Jilei.

"Then put your weapon away first." The Great Sage Roc King looked at the Lion Camel King carrying a large sword in front of him, and his face immediately fell.

He's even wielded the Lion Camel King's greatsword!
That was something on the Lion Camel King, comparable to a companion spirit treasure.

The Lion Camel King did not cultivate supernatural powers or practice making magical weapons. All the resources he obtained, apart from increasing his strength, were used for another thing—that is, to forge his own great sword.

Since it gained sentience, whatever materials it found, it would stuff them directly into the broadsword and use it as a heavy hammer to practice.

As he wielded his broadsword, the inappropriate materials within it were naturally refined and discarded in the process…

Over the years, no one has ever known how heavy the greatsword in the Lion Camel King's hand really was!

Even the Lion Camel King himself didn't know—so it's necessary to mention this.

Although the Lion Camel King was a man who practiced strength, he had no concept of strength and no intention of measuring how strong he was.

For him, it was enough to be sure that he was stronger today than he was yesterday—as for exactly how much stronger, it didn't matter!

Therefore, even the Lion Camel King did not know how strong he was, nor how heavy his greatsword was.

However, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven knew very well that the great sword was extremely heavy!
Eight thousand years ago, when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was patrolling the Southern Continent, he passed by the cave of the Lion Camel King.

The Lion Camel King wasn't there at the time; only the big sword was lying on the ground.

Then the Great Sage Roc Demon King casually raised his claw, intending to pick up the large sword.

That one time—its own terrifying speed was pulled by that incredibly heavy greatsword, just like a runaway bull being pulled back by a rope.

In that instant, the Great Sage of Chaos, Peng Demon King, almost had his claws dislocated!
Since then, he has had a slight fear of the Lion Camel King's greatsword.
