Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 68 Di Jun compromises, Yuan Feng forcibly seizes the Chaos Bell!

"Let go of Taiichi!"

Di Jun's voice was calm and powerful, like a divine decree descending upon this land.

The Sun Wheel slowly rotated behind him, the blazing true fire of the sun like the essence of the scorching sun, wantonly burning the surrounding space, as if to turn everything into ashes.

The Hetu and Luoshu, two innate spiritual treasures praised as the finest, have now coalesced into the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array.

Countless mysterious runes appeared around Di Jun, forming a solid defensive barrier that no magic could penetrate.

His Taoist robe fluttered wildly in the wind, making his figure appear tall and imposing, like an unshakeable mountain.

"Do you think I'll release him so easily just because you say a word?"

Yuan Feng laughed contemptuously, clearly not buying it. "If you want me to release them, put away your magical treasures first."

"Otherwise, if my hand slips, Donghuang Taiyi's life will be in danger."

Di Jun's expression changed drastically. "Stop! I'll do whatever you say!"

He shouted urgently, while simultaneously retracting the three top-grade innate spiritual treasures into his body.

That aura of a quasi-saint peak instantly vanished, and even the vast fortune of the demon race disappeared along with it.

At this moment, he seemed to have become an ordinary person, harmless and unremarkable.

Yuan Feng revealed a satisfied smile, a smile that could make all living beings fall at her feet.

Her alluring charm spread in that instant, captivating all who beheld her, making them yearn to kneel at her feet immediately.

"Di Jun, you've finally met your match!"

Suirenshi sneered, martial arts laws swirling around his body, his eyes revealing anger towards Dijun.

"Now that Donghuang Taiyi is in Senior Yuanfeng's hands, shouldn't you order your demon army to retreat back to the Thirty-Third Heaven?"

Di Jun's expression turned serious. "Suirenshi, don't go too far."

"My order for the demon army to attack the prehistoric continent is in accordance with the general trend of Heaven."

"Do you intend to defy the will of Heaven and openly defy the laws of Heaven?"

His words were filled with authority, brooking no questioning whatsoever.

It was as if all the actions of the demon race were the will of Heaven, and had nothing to do with him, Di Jun.

He cleverly attributed the demon race's invasion to the Heavenly Dao.

"Shameless!"

Suirenshi roared, "Your ambition to dominate the prehistoric world has brought such a calamity upon our human race!"

"At this moment, they are trying to absolve themselves of all responsibility; it's utterly ridiculous."

"Since you're unwilling to withdraw your troops voluntarily, then the Youchao clan will not be polite!"

As Youchao spoke, he strode over to Donghuang Taiyi, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Clap clap clap!"

Several crisp slaps rang out as Youchao's large, fan-like hand landed hard on Donghuang Taiyi's face.

The sound echoed in the ears of the powerful figures in the Demon Court, causing them great awe.

Donghuang Taiyi, who was originally in a coma, was awakened by these slaps.

He opened his eyes and saw his wretched state. His eyes were bloodshot, and his proud Dao heart suffered another heavy blow.

"stop!"

Fuxi hurriedly spoke up to stop Youchao, then turned to look at Dijun and solemnly said, "Heavenly Emperor, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."

"The most important thing right now is to rescue Donghuang. Please order the demon army to retreat to the Thirty-Third Heaven!"

In the end, Fuxi actually knelt down in front of Dijun, showing an attitude of considering the interests of the Demon Court and the Demon Clan.

Donghuang Taiyi cannot make any mistakes, otherwise the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan will be reduced to only one descendant, Dijun.

"Please, Heavenly Emperor, save the Eastern Emperor!"

Bai Ze, Jiu Ying, and other demon saints quickly reacted and knelt down in front of Di Jun, pleading.

They did all this to give Dijun a way out.

After all, the mighty Heavenly Emperor cannot be directly and blatantly threatened by Yuan Feng and the human race.

Only by speaking out together can we demonstrate Emperor Jun's magnanimity and wisdom in bearing humiliation and prevent the Demon Court from being ridiculed by the world in the eye of the storm.

The dignity of the demon race and the demon court must never be compromised!

In the hearts of the people, the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun must be the ruler of the Three Realms and the orthodox figure of the Heavenly Way!

Upon seeing this, Di Jun immediately reacted, pounding his chest with his right hand, appearing extremely heartbroken.

After a long silence, he solemnly addressed Suirenshi:

"I will order the demon army to retreat to the Thirty-Third Heaven, and I am willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that from this day forward, the demon race will never again invade human territory!"

"But I also implore you to keep your promise and release my second brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Jun looked up at the sky. His voice was loud and firm, and it resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world.

"Demon army, withdraw to the Demon Court immediately!"

"From this day forward, I will uphold my promise and do my utmost to serve as the ruler of the Three Realms, and I will never allow the demon race to invade the human race again!"

"May Heaven bear witness!"

With Di Jun's vow fulfilled, the situation in the entire prehistoric world changed instantly.

The voice of Heaven resounded loudly, as if it were an affirmation and testification of Emperor Jun's oath.

The demon army retreated like a raging torrent, transforming into streaks of light that rose from the ground and flew towards the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Although they did not abandon the spoils of war they had already acquired, such as human blood and resentful souls.

But at least they left the prehistoric continent, giving humanity a chance to catch its breath.

Seeing this, Suirenshi and the other ancestors of mankind, as well as many powerful figures of the human race, could only sigh helplessly.

They knew that forging the Witch-Slaying Sword was ultimately the inevitable trend of Heaven.

If Di Jun were to gain nothing and the demon army were to return empty-handed, it would clearly not meet the needs of the Heavenly Dao.

"Di Jun, I admire your decisiveness and determination!"

Yuan Feng's voice echoed in the air.

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, Donghuang Taiyi was thrown to Dijun's feet like a dead dog, while she left behind the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell.

"Second brother!"

Di Jun cried out in distress and helped Donghuang Taiyi up with both hands.

He quickly unleashed the power of the true fire of the sun and the primordial power of the golden crow to help Donghuang Taiyi heal his injuries.

In the blink of an eye, with Di Jun's help, the vitality within Donghuang Taiyi re-emerged, and the lost magic power began to gradually recover.

However, due to the depletion of a large amount of his essence, a strand of Di Jun's long, crimson-gold hair had turned gray, and the divine light around him had dimmed slightly.

Clearly, he paid a heavy price to save Donghuang Taiyi.

"Big brother!"

Donghuang Taiyi slowly opened his eyes, a sad smile appearing on his lips as he gazed at Dijun.

However, the smile vanished instantly, and he suddenly let out a wail, his voice filled with despair and anger:

"Yuan Feng, return my Chaos Bell to me!"

His voice echoed between heaven and earth, so loud it hurt people's ears.

Donghuang Taiyi trembled uncontrollably, bloodshot light shooting from his eyes, as if he had fallen into a state of madness.

The innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, disappeared without anyone noticing.

The only possibility is that it fell into Yuan Feng's hands.

Despite Donghuang Taiyi's roar, Yuanfeng remained remarkably calm.

She said calmly, "Those who fight me will have to pay the corresponding price."

"Moreover, the demon army has already taken away the blood, remnants of souls, and resentment of the human race."

"Then it's perfectly acceptable for me to leave the Chaos Bell behind; consider it compensation from you to the human race!"

As she spoke, she gently stroked the Chaos Bell in her hand.

It was as if this innate treasure had already become her private property.

A sly glint flashed in Yuan Feng's eyes; she had already planned how to handle this priceless treasure.

Whether she returned it to Donghuang Taiyi or left it to the human race, it was not her choice.

Only the person who once saved her life is qualified to possess this supreme innate treasure.
