Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1069 Bowing to Heaven, Unrepentant to the End

"Snapped!"

As soon as Ling Xuzi finished speaking, a cup was smashed to the ground, making a very clear sound.

"rude!"

As the cup shattered, a cold, sharp shout rang out from the banquet hall.

The one who spoke was none other than Nezha.

"Using martial arts as a form of entertainment to make people laugh."

"You dog, if you want to make a fuss, then go ahead."

"But why bring my sister-in-law along?"

Nezha's voice was cold and sharp, carrying an unfathomable killing intent.

"What is my sister-in-law's status?"

"You dare to let her entertain herself here?"

After speaking, Nezha's gaze fell directly on the Bull Demon King.

"Old Niu, is this your way of treating guests?"

"Even if you are the Great Luo, you would not dare to humiliate my sister-in-law like this."

Before the Moyun Cave, the thunder had not yet rolled, but flames were already flowing within, causing the temperature to rise little by little.

However, in contrast to the gradual rise in temperature, the atmosphere at the banquet became increasingly chilly.

Originally, after drinking an unprecedented glass of fine wine, the guests at the banquet had their blood and energy slowly beginning to heat up—but now, each and every one of them had calmed down.

When Nezha didn't speak, no one thought there was anything wrong with Ling Xuzi's actions.

That's just how things are among the demon race—the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Since everyone has come to the territory of the demon race to attend their banquet, they should naturally abide by the rules and respect the customs of the demon race.

According to the customs of the demon race, it is commonplace to perform martial arts during this banquet.

—Let alone the demon race, even among those outside the demon race, in the Taoist and Buddhist sects, among the many immortal abodes, who wouldn't want to show off and highlight what they gained at the Dharma assembly after participating in it…

However, Ling Xuzi should never have said those words, "to make everyone laugh."

If those words weren't there, then this was simply a manifestation of the demon race's nature. After his power had greatly increased, Ling Xuzi wanted to settle old scores and resolve his inner conflicts at this banquet.

That was asking for advice, discussing the principles.

It's a perfectly normal thing in the world.

But once those words were spoken, the nature of the matter changed completely.

Who is the White Tiger Supervisor God?

One of the four celestial rulers in this celestial sphere, governing the westernmost point and protected by the stars of the westernmost point.

At a single command, countless star lords in the Western Regions rose up in response.

In addition, she was also the Daoist partner of the Great Dragon God who upheld Heaven and Righteousness.

She is a princess from West Kunlun.

Such a person, in terms of status, can be said to be one of the most noble beings in the world.

In terms of strength, he had already gathered the power of killing in the Blood Maple Forest. If it weren't for some mishaps during the process of gathering the power, which caused a part of the power of killing to fall into the hands of the demon race, then the White Tiger Supervisor God would have already obtained the Dao Fruit of the Great Luo and become one of the Great Luo sitting high in the clouds.

Why would someone like that be asked to "perform" at this banquet and "make everyone laugh"?
Who has a face like that?

Even among those Great Luo Immortals who truly stand at the pinnacle of this world…

The Jade Emperor, holding a high position and wielding great power, acts as the Heavenly Emperor, and his every thought can shake the heavens and earth...

Like Shakyamuni Buddha, or Taiyi Zhenren of the Chan sect, these were the deputy leaders of the great teachings of sages, who took charge of the lineage on behalf of the sages...

For example, Zhen Yuanzi, and the Blood Sea Styx Daoist, were ancient powerhouses whose strength was unbelievably formidable...

Even they wouldn't dare to suggest that the White Tiger Guardian God perform on the spot to amuse everyone.

—The moment they uttered these words, the next thing they would surely face a life-or-death battle with the Great Dragon God who sat high on the Execution Platform.

After all, such humiliation was far too great.

In that instant, even the Bull Demon King felt a chill run down his spine.

Even he became somewhat carried away with his pride during this grand banquet.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to get Ling Xuzi to say such things.

He himself is also the Great Luo.

He himself also has a wife and children.

Just thinking about it, he could imagine how furious he would be if someone asked his wife to perform and amuse people.

At this moment, the Bull Demon King almost wished he could turn back time and kill Ling Xuzi directly.

only……

This Ling Xuzi is, after all, a great demon who has been verified by humanity. He is not from outside the realm, but one of our own within Pantian, and one of the demon gods we can trust.

In this unprecedented catastrophe, a demon god with a 'clean' background is extremely important.

He would have been killed outright... If it were the former Bull Demon King, he naturally wouldn't have cared.

But now, the Bull Demon King, who has become a Great Luo Immortal and has become the commander of all the demons in the Southern Continent in a practical sense, believes that he cannot accept such a loss.

“Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, there’s no need to be so angry. It’s just that I, Old Ox, am rough and have failed to discipline these demon gods properly.”

"I, Old Bull, would like to apologize to the White Tiger Guardian God here." In the blink of an eye, Bull Demon King immediately took action, snatched a jar of wine from the side, drank it down in front of everyone, and then turned the jar upside down.

After finishing the jar of wine, the Bull Demon King shouted at Ling Xuzi again.

"Ling Xuzi, you scoundrel, you've already lost your mind after just one cup of wine?"

"Or have you been blinded by the aura of this calamity?"

"Why haven't you immediately apologized to the White Tiger Supervisor God?"

Seeing the Bull Demon King calmly lower his head, the guests at the banquet couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

—If the Bull Demon King doesn't yield, then this grand banquet will not only end in discord, but will also be ruined.

These guests who came to the banquet were about to witness an unprecedented bloodbath.

Those were Yang Jian, the God of Justice; Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas; the White Tiger Guardian God; and the Great Dragon God who upheld Heaven and Righteousness on the Execution Platform…

On Mount Jilei, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Bull Demon King, a great sage of the demon race.

In the midst of such a fierce battle, those who had just gained an opportunity and vaguely touched upon the traces of the Great Luo would likely be reduced to ashes in the aftershocks. Among the many guests, even the Crown Prince Li Chengqian of the Human Emperor, and Qin Qiong, the number one martial arts immortal in the mortal realm who was protecting him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Martial arts immortals excel at killing and agility—but they are not good at protecting others, much less at carrying others through mountains and clouds.

Qin Qiong dared not even imagine what would happen if a life-or-death battle between two Great Luo Immortals were to unfold directly in Mount Jilei. If the aftershocks were to spread and Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Human Emperor, were to be easily killed by the shockwaves, how would he, the number one martial arts immortal in the mortal realm and the Pillar General of the Tang Dynasty, explain himself to the Human Emperor?

At that point, he probably had no choice but to die in battle.

He was implicated because of someone else's mistake and had no choice but to die in battle here...

This way of dying is far too humiliating.

Fortunately, the Bull Demon King, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, was still willing to bow his head.

He admits his mistakes without any airs of his status as a Great Luo Immortal... He truly deserves to be called a peerless demon saint who has twice obtained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, both in the outer realms and within the heavens.

Compared to the fleeting joy of the others at the banquet, the Buddhas of Buddhism and the Great Luo beings from beyond the realms appeared quite disappointed.

There’s only one step left!

If the Bull Demon King had adopted a slightly tougher stance, the Great Dragon God who upheld Heaven and Righteousness would have had no choice but to stand up from the Execution Platform.

As soon as that Great Dragon God who upholds Heaven and righteousness stands up from the Execution Platform, he will have no choice but to enter the tribulation!

Unfortunately, we were just one step away!
Who would have thought that the Bull Demon King, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, the 'First Demon of the Demon Race since the Primordial Era,' would actually be able to put aside his pride and admit his mistakes in front of everyone, letting the blame fall on him?

"What a pity, what a pity!" For a moment, countless people expressed this sentiment.

However, what happened next was beyond anyone's expectations.

At this grand banquet, the Bull Demon King was willing to bow his head and admit his mistake in public. Even the White Tiger Supervisor God himself couldn't pursue the matter any further...

However, Ling Xuzi, who stepped forward, still showed no sign of backing down.

He was still staring at the White Tiger Supervisor God in front of him, just as the Bull Demon King had said, completely bewildered by the calamity energy.

A sword slid down from his sleeve, arcing through the air before pointing directly at the White Tiger Supervisor God.

The blade of that sword even possessed a subtle, murderous rhythm that flowed within it.

"Ever since that Blood Maple Forest, I, Ling Xuzi, have never stopped thinking about that sword strike."

"Although my physical body has been reconstructed, that sword scar can never be completely washed away."

"Until I dug out that sword mark, skin and bone, and forged it into this sword."

"I beg the White Tiger Guardian God Lord to judge my sword strike," Ling Xuzi said, and suddenly thrust out his sword like a white rainbow piercing the sun.

The rhythm of battle and slaughter between heaven and earth was once again stirred.

Whether in front of the Moyun Cave or throughout the entire Southern Continent, countless demons sensed a tremor emanating from their bloodlines.

That was the tremor caused by the fact that the power of killing had fallen into the hands of these demons and was about to be stripped away.

"How dare you!" Before the White Tiger Supervisor God could utter a sound, Nezha had already stood up.

Even the Bull Demon King personally came forward to apologize—Nezha originally thought the matter was over.

But who would have thought that Ling Xuzi would be so ungrateful!
"You little dog, you'd better die!"

Nezha raised his hand and the Universe Ring, carrying the weight of a mountain, smashed directly towards Ling Xuzi.

The Universe Ring was originally a well-known innate spiritual treasure with extremely powerful abilities. Over countless years of cultivation, Nezha had long since completely integrated the Universe Ring and its surroundings into his own power.

At this moment, it appears as if the Qiankun Ring was simply thrown out casually.

In reality, this was the manifestation of all of Nezha's powers at this moment.

His other treasures include the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Universe Ring, and the Demon-Slaying Sword.

All the techniques, martial arts, and supernatural powers he cultivated were integrated into this single throw.

When the Qiankun Ring tore through space, it truly lived up to its name, shaking the universe and seemingly throwing the entire world into the ring as if it were part of the ring itself.

When the Qiankun Ring cracked in the air, the space that the Bull Demon King had expanded using spatial techniques seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The process of cultivation begins with mastering a particular direction, becoming exceptionally talented...

Then, this solitary peak, rising abruptly and uniquely, slowly expands in all directions, transforming into a perfect circle, without any flaws or gaps.

This is the change in direction from the focus of a practitioner's cultivation, from refinement to breadth.

Once one has gained a comprehensive understanding and mastery of all things, what a practitioner needs to do is to once again abandon breadth and seek refinement.

At this point, "excellence" does not refer to specializing in a particular area.

Instead, he melted everything he had cultivated into one.

He transformed all those supernatural powers, spells, and mysterious techniques into a single move.

Thus, with a single strike, all the techniques are unleashed simultaneously, without reservation.

Cultivators at this level are the most outstanding members of the Taiyi level.

At this level of Taiyi, they no longer care about so-called killing moves or so-called secret techniques...

For them, the distinction between methods is reduced to a few simple differences.

A joke.

A friendly exchange of blows.

A normal shot.

A full blow.

And, a desperate strike.

Yang Jian, Nezha, and the great sages of the demon race are basically at this level.

You can tell the difference between these different techniques just by listening to their names.

The first type, acting jokingly, means there is no hostility involved; it's just a sudden urge to play a joke, and it's a way to discipline juniors.

The second type is a move driven by greed, which is merely a test of each other's intentions, and it's a quick retreat.

The third type is the real means of dealing with the enemy.

The fourth type is the strength displayed by the enemy, which deserves attention and requires a serious attitude. We cannot be lenient or negligent towards the enemy.

The last one is a truly desperate measure that can only be used when facing dire straits—a measure that they themselves cannot easily employ.

Besides needing to be sufficiently aware, they also need to face considerable pressure!
For the very top-tier Taiyi cultivators at their level, only the Da Luo could exert such pressure on them.

Therefore, this desperate strike is a truly desperate strike—it is the method that the experts at this level had anticipated in order to deal with the Great Luo.

At this moment, Nezha's attack, although not a desperate strike, was not far from it.
