Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

He bowed again.

"The disciple retire."

He then turned around, walked steadily out of the alchemy room, and his figure quickly disappeared into the misty alchemical energy.

His gaze remained indifferent, as if he had long forgotten his past, forgotten his emotions and desires, and that only the cold and pure ruthless Dao remained in his heart.

Beiju Luzhou, the Demon Emperor's Palace.

This place is shrouded in dark, demonic clouds all year round. The palace is built of huge animal bones and black stones, with a rough and ferocious style, and is filled with a strong wild and demonic aura.

Deep within the main hall, on the throne of the Demon Emperor, sat a young man dressed in a dark gold imperial robe.

His face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, with a golden flame pattern leaping endlessly between his brows. He was none other than Lu Ya, the former crown prince of the demon race and now the demon emperor.

He toyed with a strangely shaped throwing knife that exuded a sharp, murderous aura in his hand. His eyes were sinister, and his whole body radiated a chilling hatred.

Below him were various demon generals, each with a fierce aura, including many descendants of ancient great demons.

A massive demon army is gathering on the wasteland of Beiju Luzhou, its demonic aura soaring into the sky and its malevolent clouds churning.

"Old thief Kunpeng... after hiding for so many years, it's time for him to come out and face his death!"

Lu Ya's voice, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, echoed through the hall, carrying with it a deep-seated hatred.

He would never forget that it was the Demon Master Kunpeng who deserted at the crucial moment of the Lich War, taking away the demon race's treasures, causing the collapse of the demon race's Heavenly Court and the deaths of his nine elder brothers! This hatred is irreconcilable!

"Your Majesty, calm down."

A gentle voice rang out. Beside the throne, a monk dressed in moon-white robes with a compassionate face appeared out of nowhere; it was none other than the Daoist Zhunti.

He clasped his hands together, a compassionate smile on his face.

"The Kunpeng is cunning and hides deep in the far north sea, making it impossible to find by ordinary means."

However, the ways of Heaven are clear, and the cycle of cause and effect is endless; his day of reckoning is not far off.

With a flick of his palm, a divine tree appeared, radiant with seven treasures—gold, silver, lapis lazuli, glass, giant clam shell, red pearl, and agate—hanging from its branches. It was his treasure for attaining enlightenment—the Seven Treasures Tree.

"This treasure can help Your Majesty break through the many restrictions of the far north sea and find the Kunpeng's nest."

Zhunti handed the Seven Treasures Tree to Lu Ya, his voice full of temptation.

"With this treasure in hand, Your Majesty will surely be able to slay your enemies and bring solace to the spirits of the nine crown princes in heaven!"

A fierce light instantly flashed in Lu Ya's eyes!

Without hesitation, he accepted the Seven Treasures Tree, feeling its immense power to cleanse all things and destroy all laws, and the flames of revenge in his heart burned even more fiercely!
"Thank you saint!"

Lu Ya bowed respectfully to Zhunti, then suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

"Army, assemble! Follow me on this expedition! Destination—the far north sea! The lair of the Kunpeng!"

Holding the Seven Treasures Tree, he transformed into a dazzling golden rainbow and was the first to rush out of the Demon Emperor's Palace!

Countless demon generals below roared deafeningly, followed closely by rolling demon clouds that blotted out the sun and surged toward the far north of the primordial wilderness!

As Zhunti watched Lu Ya's departing figure, the compassionate smile on his face slowly faded, and a barely perceptible worry appeared deep in his eyes.

The deeper Lu Ya's hatred for Kunpeng grows, the more likely he is to later learn the truth behind the "Ten Suns in the Sky" that led to Kuafu chasing the sun and Houyi shooting it down, and that the Western Sect was also involved in instigating it...

This hatred will likely be transferred to Western religious leaders.

This move carries considerable risk.

Just then, an invisible wave of divine thought pierced through the void and entered Zhunti's sea of ​​consciousness.

It was a summons message issued by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

As Zhunti read the contents of the talisman, when he saw the words "Kong Xuan", "Five-Colored Divine Light", and "Great Shang Camp", his eyes, which were originally filled with worry, were instantly replaced by an indescribable blazing light!

"Kong Xuan... the innate five elements manifested... the five-colored divine light can cleanse anything..."

Zhunti muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"These innate deities, bearing great fortune and immense karma, are destined to be connected with our Western Paradise! If they can be converted and brought into our Western Paradise, they will surely flourish!"

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his previous worries were instantly thrown to the winds.

Compared to Lu Ya, who is full of variables, the sudden appearance of Kong Xuan is the key to the great revival of his Western religious tradition!
He has to go there himself!
In the Jade Void Palace, the wrath of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was like a tangible cold wave, piercing through the endless void and descending upon the Demon Emperor's Palace in Beiju Luzhou, condensing into a blurry yet overwhelmingly powerful phantom!
The phantom's gaze was like a cold blade, piercing straight at the Daoist Zhunti beside the Demon Emperor's throne!

"Zhunti!"

The voice of the illusory Yuanshi Tianzun carried an extreme amount of suppressed anger, like muffled thunder rolling across the dome of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

"You have arbitrarily gifted the Seven Treasures Tree to Lu Ya, stirring up trouble in the Northern Sea! Do you know what kind of changes this will cause?! If Kunpeng dies, the Northern Sea will be out of balance, and the karma will backfire. Can your Western Sect bear the consequences?!"

When faced with the rebuke from the illusory figure of the sage, Zhunti Daoist's face instantly displayed just the right amount of fear and awe.

He quickly bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble, his voice filled with fear.

"Heavenly Venerable, please calm your anger! This humble Taoist...this humble Taoist was not thorough in his consideration! I only saw that Fellow Taoist Lu Ya was eager to avenge his brother, and I softened my heart for a moment...This humble Taoist knows his mistake! I will go to find Fellow Taoist Lu Ya and retrieve the Seven Treasures Tree!"

His words were sincere, as if he were truly filled with remorse.

However, deep within his lowered eyelids, there was an almost imperceptible ecstasy!
The more furious Yuanshi Tianzun became, the more it proved that the Investiture of the Gods calamity had completely spiraled out of control!
The muddier the water, the more advantageous it is for the Western religion to fish in troubled waters!
As for the life or death of Kunpeng, and the balance of the Northern Sea? What do they have to do with him!
As long as the goal is achieved, any karmic backlash will be borne by the entire Western religion's fortune!

Moreover... his real target is Kong Xuan, who possesses the innate five elements and the five-colored divine light that can sweep across anything!

To obtain him, and for the flourishing of Western religion, any price is worth paying!
"Hmph! Go and resolve this immediately! If anything goes wrong again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The illusory image of Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, gave Zhunti a deep look, and then slowly dissipated into the void, its terrifying holy might also receding.

Zhunti Daoist straightened up, and the fearful expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a calm smile of confidence.

He did not immediately set off to chase after Lu Ya, but instead put his hands together and muttered some incantations.

A figure, connected to his true self yet more peaceful and reserved, slowly emerged from behind him.

The figure, dressed in plain white monk's robes, with a compassionate face and clear eyes, was none other than Subhuti, one of his three incarnations. "Fellow Daoist, I entrust the affairs here to you for the time being."

Zhunti spoke to Subhuti in a calm voice.

Subhuti clasped his hands together and nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will do my best to maintain order here and await Your Excellency's return."

Having finished explaining, Daoist Zhunti did not linger.

With a single step, his figure vanished from the Demon Emperor's Palace like ink painting merging into the void, leaving only a barely perceptible ripple in space.

His target is Xiqi! He is determined to get Kong Xuan!

Meanwhile, in the far north of the primordial wilderness, on the vast and boundless ice ocean...

The biting wind was as sharp as a knife, whipping up countless ice crystals that turned the sky a grayish-white.

Thick, dark ice covered the sea, stretching for countless miles, exuding an eternal stillness and bitter cold.

This is the lair of the Kunpeng—the far north sea.

At this moment, the deathly silence above the icy ocean was completely shattered by a monstrous demonic aura!

Lu Ya, dressed in a dark gold imperial robe and holding the Seven Treasures Tree with its shimmering light, stood proudly on the clouds.

Behind him, there were billowing, demonic clouds that blotted out the sky!

One hundred thousand demon soldiers, clad in ferocious armor and wielding various strange weapons, formed a formidable battle formation. Their demonic energy coalesced into a powerful torrent that shook the heavens and the earth, stirring up the icy, biting wind and snow of the far north sea!
Within the demonic clouds, the figures of many descendants of ancient great demons could be vaguely seen, their auras fierce and their eyes bloodthirsty.

The Demon Master Bai Ze, an ancient demon renowned for his wisdom, was currently hovering beside Lu Ya.

He held an ancient star array plate in his hand, his expression solemn, chanting incantations as his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

"Zhou Tian Xing Dou! Rise!"

With a clear shout from Bai Ze, the Star Array Disc in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling starlight!

At the same time, the 100,000 demon soldiers poured their demonic power into the array base that had already been set up beneath their feet without reservation!
The entire sky above the far north sea was instantly replaced by a vast and boundless starry sky!

Three hundred and sixty-five enormous phantom images of ancient stars appeared out of thin air and slowly rotated along mysterious trajectories!
The sun hangs high in the center, radiating intense light; the moon shines cool and clear; the Purple Star, the imperial star, is majestic and awe-inspiring…

Countless stellar powers intertwined to form a network, creating a stellar domain independent of the primordial world!
The terrifying pressure of the stars, like a tangible tsunami, crashed down onto the frozen sea below!

Click!Click!
The thick, unyielding ice on the sea surface, under the pressure of the stars, began to groan under its own weight, cracking open with huge, bottomless fissures!
The icy seawater surged out from the crack and was instantly frozen!
"Kunpeng, you old thief!"

Lu Ya's voice was like a cold wind from the deepest hell, piercing through the starry sky and resounding throughout the entire far north sea.

"I, the Emperor, have come in person! Why don't you come out and face your death! Today, I will use your head to pay tribute to the spirits of my nine elder brothers in heaven! I will also let you, you coward, see the might of my demon race!"

His voice, filled with deep-seated hatred and icy killing intent, pierced fiercely into the deep sea below with the power of the stars!

The response to Lu Ya was not from Kunpeng, but from a deafening roar filled with violence and ferocity!
The roar came from the depths of the sea, carrying immense water elemental power, causing the entire star realm to tremble slightly!
Boom!

A huge section of ice suddenly exploded!

A colossal figure broke through the ice and seawater, soaring into the sky!

The figure was thousands of feet tall, covered in thick, dark blue scales, resembling a giant whale, but with a single, enormous spiral horn!

It was none other than the great demon unicorn whale, a general under the Kunpeng! It had already taken human form and was a terrifying being at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Demon Master's dojo!"

The narwhal demon's voice boomed like a bell, its enormous single eye fixed on the sun star in the center of the starry realm, its gaze filled with violence and disdain.

"You dare to show off your mere Star Illusion Array in front of the Ancestor! Break it!"

It suddenly raised its huge spiral horn!

At the tip of the unicorn, a ghostly blue light gathered wildly, and a terrifying power capable of tearing through space and freezing everything was brewing!
It did not attack the Star Domain itself, but instead locked its target directly onto the phantom of the Sun Star, which served as the core energy source of the great array!

"go with!"

With a roar, the narwhal demon's enormous spiral horn detached from its head and instantly transformed into a gigantic spear, its entire body a deep blue and wreathed in icy cold air!
The spear was covered with mysterious frost runes, and wherever the spear tip pointed, the space itself was frozen with white, spiderweb-like cracks!

With a sudden swing of its massive body, it hurled the spear, forged from its natal horn, toward the blazing sun in the center of the starry realm!
The spear left his hand and instantly transformed into a chilling blue light that tore through the heavens and earth!

Wherever it passed, space froze and shattered!
The terrifying chill even covered the surrounding star-like phantoms with a layer of white frost!
This single shot embodies the lifelong cultivation and primordial power of the great narwhal demon, its power enough to pierce through stars and freeze the sun!
Lu Ya's eyes were cold, and he did not make a move to stop him, but just watched coldly.

Bai Ze frowned slightly, the array plate in his hand shimmering with light, preparing to mobilize the power of the stars to intercept.

The 100,000 demon soldiers held their breath, waiting for the earth-shattering collision to occur!
However, just as that eerie blue light was about to pierce the illusory image of the sun—

A small figure appeared out of nowhere in the path of the spear!

That figure was so tiny, compared to the thousand-foot-tall giant demon and the azure spear that tore the heavens and earth apart, it was like a speck of dust!
He looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, wearing a faded coarse cloth jacket, barefoot, with a calm, even bewildered expression on his face.

He appeared there abruptly, facing a terrifying blow that could pierce stars and freeze the sun, and slowly stretched out a small, white, tender hand.

Snapped!
A soft sound.

That azure spear that tore through space and froze everything, that natal weapon embodying the lifelong cultivation of the great narwhal demon, was actually caught by that tiny hand, steadily and casually... in one swift motion! And stopped in mid-air!
The tip of the spear was only inches away from the phantom image of the sun!

The terrifying chill and destructive energy were firmly imprisoned within the gun by an invisible force, unable to advance even an inch further!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The 100,000 demon soldiers were dumbfounded, forgetting even to breathe.

The light on the array plate in Bai Ze's hand froze, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

For the first time, Lu Ya's icy gaze showed a violent fluctuation as he stared intently at the small figure.

"Wha...what?!"

The narwhal monster's huge single eye widened instantly, and its pupil shrank to the size of a pinhead!
Its massive body froze on the spot in utter shock! It couldn't believe its eyes!
Its all-out attack, imbued with its very essence, a fatal blow capable of severely injuring or even annihilating an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal, was actually... actually caught by a seemingly harmless little child with just one hand?! (End of Chapter)
