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

They felt their own power being frantically drained by that terrifying vortex of devouring energy!

The light of the Zhou Tian Star Array dimmed rapidly, and its operation became sluggish!

"His Majesty!"

Bai Ze held the Star Array Disc, his face extremely solemn, his voice urgent.

"The demon army's strength is far inferior to the elite forces of the ancient Heavenly Court! The power of the Zhou Tian Star Array is reduced to less than one-tenth! The Kunpeng's true form is powerful and it wields the Devouring Law. If it uses this method to fight head-on, the foundation of the array may be in danger of collapsing!"

Lu Ya stood beneath the illusory image of the Sun Star, his face ashen.

He watched in horror and rage as his own "falling stars" were so easily devoured and neutralized by the Kunpeng!
Bai Ze's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over him!
He knew that with the current cobbled-together demon army, it was indeed impossible to unleash the true power of the Zhou Tian Star Array. Forcibly activating it would only result in being worn down and killed by Kunpeng's Devouring Law!

"Kunpeng, you old thief!"

Lu Ya's eyes were filled with rage that almost burst forth. He gritted his teeth and let out a long roar that could shatter metal and split rocks!

"Wow—!"

Amidst the howling sound, Lu Ya's figure was instantly engulfed by blinding golden flames!

The flames surged, and a three-legged golden crow with a wingspan of a thousand feet and its entire body burning with the true fire of the sun tore through the flames and proudly appeared in the center of the starry realm! It was Lu Ya's true form!

The golden crow flapped its wings, and endless true solar fire surged forth, frantically pouring into the somewhat dim phantom of the sun in the center!
With the blessing of the Golden Crow's essence, the illusory image of the Sun Star suddenly shone brightly, and the blazing light instantly dispelled the sluggishness and chill of the Star Domain, stabilizing the entire formation once again!

"cut!"

The golden crow spoke in human language, its voice icy and chilling!
It suddenly opened its mouth, and a white ray of light, seemingly insignificant yet containing extreme sharpness and the aura of death, appeared instantly in front of the Kunpeng's enormous body, ignoring spatial distance!

The target was none other than one of its giant eyes! It was Lu Ya's trump card—the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!

"Humph!"

Faced with this vicious and cunning attack that was specifically designed to slay the primordial spirit, Kunpeng let out a disdainful snort.

It didn't even move its massive body; it was just that beneath its floating head, the endless Arctic sea suddenly boiled!
Crash-!
A thick, deep blue barrier, tens of thousands of feet high, formed from pure water elemental power and the essence of mystic ice, instantly rose up and blocked the light of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!

laugh--!
The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife pierced fiercely into the water elemental barrier! Its incomparably sharp blade energy instantly pierced through the barrier!

However, the barrier seemed to have a life of its own; the moment it was breached, countless streams of water surged, froze, and regenerated wildly!
Layer upon layer, endlessly! The light of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife seemed to sink into a quagmire, its speed drastically reduced, and its sharpness gradually worn away!

Finally, when it was only a hundred feet away from the giant eye of the Kunpeng, the power of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was completely exhausted. It let out a mournful cry of unwillingness, flew back, and disappeared back into the mouth of the Golden Crow.

Lu Ya's golden crow body swayed slightly, clearly having also experienced some backlash.

"Youngster! You dare to seek revenge with such paltry tricks?"

The giant eyes of the Kunpeng were filled with naked mockery, and its voice shook the starry realm once again.

"You're far inferior to your dead father, Di Jun! Go back to your Northern Continent and eke out a living!"

"Kunpeng—!!!"

The golden crow that Lu Ya transformed into let out an extremely shrill cry, and the true fire of the sun surged wildly due to extreme anger!
Reason was completely overwhelmed by hatred!
He knew very well that he would find it extremely difficult to kill Kunpeng today with his own strength!

"Please, sage, help me!"

Lu Ya suddenly roared to the sky, his voice filled with madness!
Without further hesitation, he suddenly summoned the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand!

The Seven Treasures Tree flew out of his hand, hovering above the Golden Crow's head, bursting forth with unprecedentedly dazzling light!
Seven-colored light flowed, and a vast, compassionate, yet supremely majestic aura of a saint descended like a sleeping beast awakening!

Seven-colored precious lights intertwined and converged, forming a blurry yet infinitely radiant figure above the Seven Treasures Tree!
The figure was dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, with a compassionate face, holding a phantom image of a Seven Treasures Tree. It was none other than the saintly image of the Daoist Zhunti!

"Amitabha."

The phantom of Cundi chanted the Buddha's name, his voice peaceful yet carrying an undeniable majesty that resounded throughout the entire far north sea.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, why do you bully the weak and make things difficult for my disciple?"

"disciple?"

The massive body of the Kunpeng trembled violently, its giant eyes fixed on the figure of the saint, and then it burst into earth-shattering laughter, filled with endless anger and mockery.

"Hahaha! Zhunti! Put away your hypocritical face of being compassionate and merciful! Disciple? When did Lu Ya become a disciple of your Western Sect?"
You schemed and plotted, sowing discord and orchestrating the great calamity of the Lich King, causing the collapse of my demon race's Heavenly Court and the fall of Emperor Jun and Taiyi! Now, you intend to use this junior to eliminate your ancestor? What a scheme! What a brilliant scheme!

Kunpeng's voice was like rolling thunder, each word like a heavy hammer, striking Lu Ya's heart hard!

He suddenly looked at the phantom of Zhunti, and his golden crow body trembled violently!

"And the Purple Cloud Palace from back then!"

The roar of the Kunpeng carried the resentment accumulated over millions of years.

"If it weren't for you and those two shameless scoundrels, who used their eloquent words and flattery to bewitch the Dao Ancestor's attendant and steal my seat on the futon, how could I have missed the opportunity to become a saint?! This hatred is irreconcilable! And today, you dare to show yourself?!"

"Kunpeng! Stop spouting nonsense and slandering the sage!"

The voice of the phantom Zhunti suddenly turned fierce, interrupting Kunpeng's accusation!

The look of compassion on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a coldness and anger at being exposed as a pretense! "Stubborn fool!"
He should be punished!

The illusory image of Zhunti said no more, and gently brushed the illusory Seven Treasures Tree in his hand towards the massive body of Kunpeng!
Wow——!
A rainbow of seven colors, condensed to its extreme and formed from the convergence of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, glass, giant clam shell, red pearl, and agate, tore through the void, ignoring all obstacles, and fiercely swept down towards the enormous body of the Kunpeng that blotted out the sky!
Wherever the seven-colored light passed, space silently collapsed and annihilated, forming a terrifying vacuum trajectory!

It was as if all colors, all matter, and all laws in the world were to be swept away, decomposed, and turned into nothingness under the seven-colored divine light!
Faced with this terrifying blow that contained the might of a saint and was powerful enough to sweep away all things, Kunpeng's giant eyes showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, an even more intense and ferocious flame ignited within them!
"Hmph! Zhunti! If you were here in person, I might still be somewhat wary! How dare you, a mere illusory avatar reliant on a spiritual treasure, act so arrogantly before me?!"

Kunpeng's voice was like a cold wind from the deepest hell, carrying a resolute killing intent.

"Today, I, your ancestor, will show you, this hypocritical saint, that the Lord of the Northern Underworld is not someone to be trifled with! If you want war, then let's fight! What do I have to fear!"

Faced with the seven-colored divine light that was powerful enough to sweep away all things and annihilate space, a deep and dark auspicious cloud suddenly rose from above the floating giant head of the Kunpeng!

This auspicious cloud is no ordinary auspicious cloud. It is formed by the endless Northern Dark Water and the power of the Devouring Law. It is like a condensed Northern Sea, exuding a terrifying aura that devours everything and returns all things to nothingness!
"Demon Master Palace! Suppress!"

With a deep roar from the Kunpeng, the Demon Master's Palace, constructed from ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice and deep-sea divine iron and now transformed into a magical artifact, suddenly flew out from the black sea clouds!
The palace swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a terrifying behemoth larger than the stars!
On the surface of the palace, countless ferocious demon head reliefs seemed to come alive, emitting silent roars, with dark green light flowing around them, exuding a fierce aura that could suppress all heavens and destroy all laws!

The Demon Master Palace, carrying the power of heaven and earth of the entire far north sea drawn by the Kunpeng, crashed fiercely towards the descending seven-colored divine light, like a collapsing ancient divine mountain, with the will to crush the universe!

Chi Chi Chi -!
The seven-colored divine light swept fiercely across the Demon Master Palace's main body!
The power of a sage, capable of annihilating space and disintegrating all things, frantically eroded the dark green palace walls!

However, the demon head reliefs on the surface of the Demon Master Palace suddenly opened their huge mouths, and a devouring power originating from chaos erupted!

The seven-colored divine light that could sweep away anything was actually torn apart and devoured by these demon leaders!
As if plunged into a bottomless abyss, the light quickly dimmed and dissipated!
Having absorbed the seven-colored divine light, the Demon Master's Palace is now even more ferocious!

Its momentum did not diminish; with even more terrifying power, it continued to smash down fiercely towards the illusory figure of Zhunti formed from the light of the Seven Treasures Tree behind it!

"The Great Dao is boundless! Protect!"

Zhunti's illusory figure's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting that the Demon Master Palace could devour his Seven Treasures Tree Divine Light!
He rapidly swung the illusory Seven Treasures Tree in his hand, and profound Dao talismans appeared out of thin air, weaving together to form a transparent barrier that emitted a pure, crystal-like luster, blocking in front of him!
Boom——!
The enormous body of the Demon Master Palace slammed heavily onto the glass barrier!

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, exploded!

A violent energy storm instantly swept across billions of miles of void! Space shattered inch by inch, revealing the chaotic currents of energy behind it!
The glass barrier trembled violently, its surface rippling with dense waves, yet it withstood the devastating blow from the Demon Master Palace!
"Hahaha! Zhunti! How long can your barrier last?!"

Kunpeng laughed wildly, his voice like rolling thunder, full of mockery.

"Unleash the power of the entire far north sea! Break through!"

His massive body shuddered violently! The vast and boundless Arctic Ocean below instantly boiled!

Countless thick, dragon-like streams of pure Xuan Shui essence and earth vein chill shattered the ice surface and soared into the sky!

Transformed into beams of dark green light, they continuously poured into the Demon Master's Palace that suppressed the barrier!

With the frenzied infusion of the power of the entire far north sea, the size of the Demon Master Palace has increased dramatically once again!
The surface of the uterus ignited with a dark green light! The suppressive power increased exponentially!

The pressure on the glass barrier suddenly increased, and the Dao runes flowing on its surface began to flicker, groaning as if it could not bear the burden!
"Hmph! Kunpeng! Don't try to win with your words!"

Zhunti's illusory figure had a livid face, clearly enraged by Kunpeng's mockery. He tried his best to maintain the barrier while coldly refuting it.

"Our ascension to sainthood is in accordance with the Way of Heaven, to enlighten all beings, and our merits are immeasurable! How dare you, a traitor to your people who seeks only to survive, presume to speak of such things!"

Click!

A faint yet crystal-clear cracking sound, like the death knell, suddenly rang out!
Under the terrifyingly powerful suppression of the Demon Master's Palace, a tiny crack, like a spider web, quietly spread across the surface of the glass barrier!
"It's cracked?!"

A burst of wild joy and ferocity erupted from Kunpeng's giant eyes!
His massive mouth opened slightly, and an even deeper and more terrifying devouring power began to gather within it!
He was waiting! Waiting for the moment when the barrier would completely shatter so he could devour this saintly incarnation along with the power of the Seven Treasures Tree that it embodied!
Even if we cannot destroy the saint himself, we must make him pay a heavy price!
at this time!

"Ouch——!"

"hiss--!"

A series of roars and cries, some high-pitched, some low, and some sharp, suddenly rang out from the broken ice sea below!
Countless enormous figures of various shapes broke through the ice and seawater and soared into the sky!

There is a Xuanbing Jiaolong that is thousands of feet long and covered with ice scales!
A giant ice bat with wings on its back and menacing fangs!

There are giant deep-sea crabs with bodies as large as mountains and shells with a metallic sheen!
There are even more bizarre and ferocious deep-sea monsters!

They are not Kunpeng's direct subordinates, but rather deep-sea demons who have lived in the far north sea for generations, under Kunpeng's protection, or who have received his guidance in cultivation!
At this moment, they sensed the aura of the Demon Master's Palace, felt the indomitable fighting spirit of the Kunpeng Ancestor, and remembered the kindness of Kunpeng in spreading the Dharma and protecting the region back then!

"We will never forget the kindness of our ancestor in passing on the Dharma!"

"Protect my Lord of the Northern Sea!"

"kill!"

Countless deep-sea monsters roared deafeningly!
They no longer feared the terrifying holy might, nor did they care about the earth-shattering aftershocks of the battle!
They all manifested their strongest forms, opened their huge mouths, and spewed out the vast demonic energy they had painstakingly accumulated!

Streams of demonic energy, each a different color, some icy cold, some eerie and sinister, some heavy and solid, traversed the void and poured madly into the Demon Master's Palace that suppressed the barrier!
These demonic energies, individually insignificant, when combined with the power of tens of thousands of deep-sea demons, form a vast and mighty torrent imbued with a savage will!
With the support of this new force, the Demon Master Palace trembled violently! The dark green light surged instantly, like a burning green sun!

Its suppressive power surged once again! The demon head reliefs on the surface of the palace seemed to be nourished, becoming even more ferocious and malevolent, and their devouring power intensified!
Click!Click!
On the glass barrier, that tiny crack instantly spread out!
Like a spider web, it quickly spread across the entire surface of the barrier!

Countless Dao runes flashed wildly, attempting to repair the damage, but they couldn't keep up with the speed at which the cracks were spreading!

The entire barrier was teetering on the brink of collapse, as if it would crumble completely at any moment!
The vortex of devouring energy that condensed in the mouth of the Kunpeng grew deeper and deeper, as if it were connected to the entrance to the Ruins of Return, emitting a terrifying suction force that made people's hearts tremble!
His enormous eyes were fixed on the ashen-faced phantom of Zhunti behind the barrier, waiting for the barrier to shatter so he could swallow him whole!
"Sage! Are you...are you alright?!"

In the distance, Lu Ya, transformed into a thousand-foot-tall golden crow, gazed at the crumbling glass barrier and felt the increasingly terrifying pressure emanating from the Demon Master's Palace. Filled with fear and unease, he couldn't help but send a telepathic inquiry from afar. (End of Chapter)
