Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 214 Clash of Immortals and Demons

Without hesitation, Qian Shan sank into the vast North Sea. The ring on his left ear emitted layers of silver light, and the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon spread through the layers of rocks and soil.

Amidst the burning of countless silver lights, earthen dragons burst forth from before Qianshan and sank into the extremely dark depths of the North Sea, where turbulent currents surged and the pitch-black seabed became murky.

The Nine Li Heavenly Demon's control over real matter far surpasses that of any other supreme treasure in the primordial world. Thousands upon thousands of earth dragons flew out, and a huge void appeared in front of the Thousand Mountains.

Qianshan flung the Heaven-Subduing Staff into the hole, enlarging it and using it to block the 100,000-zhang-diameter, ever-expanding void.

The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons continued to surge and spread. The bright earth and rock layers between Tian Tu Mountain and the North Sea were melted by the silvery-white light into countless earth dragons that fell into the North Sea, leaving only a thin layer of land still existing under the support of the silvery-white radiance.

The barely perceptible tremor of the earth went unnoticed by anyone except for Huang Xiong, the patriarch of the Wild Elephant Clan. However, Huang Xiong assumed it was just another tremor caused by the battle between giant beasts in the North Sea, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the North Sea, Qian Shan looked at the countless burning and blooming silver lights deep in the earth's strata and roughly estimated the time. He estimated that it would take about 500,000 years to dig a passage from the North Sea directly to Tian Tu Mountain, which was still within Qian Shan's acceptable range.

Having spent so much time here, Qian Shan was not going to waste any more time. The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon melted countless mountain rocks and divine metals, and a jet-black spiral iron spear appeared in Qian Shan's hand. With a leap, he flew out of the vast North Sea.

Qianshan looked at Snow God Mountain, where the Snow Mastiff Clan was located, and his aura changed. Surrounded by countless snowflakes, he landed at the foot of Snow God Mountain.

The Snow Mastiff Clan is currently the weakest of the four major clans in the vicinity. Qian Shan plans to eliminate this weakest clan first. Of course, Qian Shan is not very confident, but he will give it a try. In any case, even if he is exposed, it will not affect his next plan.

Taiwei, Shenying, Youquan, and Qianshan—these four Dao Fruit avatars are the four wedges that anchored Taiwei's main body when it descended into the primordial world. Even if other Dao Fruit avatars descend in the future, they will not be in the primordial world.

While everyone in Taiwei was carrying out their own tasks, in the Demonic Ancestral Court, wandering in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons in the endless space-time rift, Demon Ancestor Rahu sat cross-legged on a twelfth-grade lotus platform, holding the dark and gloomy World-Destroying Millstone.

Nine light patterns covered the world-destroying millstone, dividing the pitch-black millstone into ten. Five of these ten lines had extremely complex Dao patterns that shone brightly, while the remaining five lines were pitch black and dim.

The people of the primordial world did not know that the Demon Ancestor Rahu was originally just an ordinary star lord of Rahu Star, and his bloodline level was no different from that of ordinary divine beasts.

The reason why Rahu was able to grow step by step to become the top power in the world is all thanks to the Great Grinding Mill that destroyed the world.

The true nature of this supreme treasure is not, as other top-tier beings believe, merely a supreme treasure that wields the Great Dao of Destruction. The true origin of the Great Millstone of Annihilation is the very source of an eternal and boundless universe that is currently being nurtured.

In other words, the Great Millstone of Annihilation is the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Heavenly Demon Realm that is being conceived, and within the Great Millstone of Annihilation is a Great Heavenly Demon Realm that is being conceived and evolving.

It was precisely because Rahu constantly drew upon the origin of the Heavenly Demon Realm that he was able to successfully transform into a top-tier Primordial True Saint at the beginning of creation, relying solely on his own power.

Even the second supreme treasure of the Great Void, the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter, in Luo Hou's possession, was forged by drawing upon a vast amount of the essence of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

However, the act of refining the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation caused the evolution of the Heavenly Demon Realm to stagnate for a long time, and Luo Hou no longer dared to draw on the origin of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Compared to an eternal world, even the Supreme Treasure of the Void seems insignificant. As the wielder of the Great Millstone of Annihilation, once the Heavenly Demon World is fully formed, Demon Ancestor Rahu will be able to merge with the Heavenly Dao through the Great Millstone of Annihilation and directly advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord, or even the Primordial Saint.

However, the evolution of the Great Heaven and Earth requires ten Heaven and Earth Demonic Paths. Luo Hou established the Yuanmen Demonic Path in the Great Heaven and Earth and spread the true meaning of the Demonic Path in order to obtain new Heaven and Earth Demonic Paths.

Although the development of the Yuanmen Demonic Path has been hindered at every turn over the years, it has also allowed Demon Ancestor Rahu to collect five Heavenly Demonic Paths.

Five more Heavenly Demon Paths are needed for the evolution of the Heavenly Demon Great Heaven and Earth to enter the next stage, and Rahu will be able to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord with the support of the power of the Heavenly Demon Great Heaven and Earth.

In recent years, facing the siege and suppression from Taiwei, Xuanmen Immortal Path, and Buddhist Path, Luo Hou has rarely taken action. The reason is that he does not want to affect the evolution of the Heavenly Demon Great World in the Great Mill of Annihilation.

Even when Rahu was severely injured by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Light, he refrained from using the great power of the Heavenly Demon Great World.

However, although Luo Hou's concession made Taiwei and the Buddhist and Taoist sects temporarily give up their suppression of Luo Hou, the four ancient immortals of the Xuanmen Immortal Path have been frantically suppressing the forces of the demonic path for some unknown reason in recent years.

Countless demonic cultivators have been converted, suppressed, or killed. With the Demon Ancestor Rahu not intervening, no one in the demonic path can currently stand against the four ancient immortals who control the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

Even if Demon Ancestor Rahu were to take action, he would not be able to defeat the Four Ancient Immortals without using the origin of the Heavenly Demon Great World. For the sake of the gestation and perfection of the Heavenly Demon Great World, Rahu had to accept it.

Over the years, Rahu has been secretly using countless demonic seeds to constantly stimulate the thoughts and inspiration of demonic cultivators, finally giving birth to two more demonic paths. At this point, seven of the ten demonic paths have appeared. With three more demonic paths, Rahu will be able to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord realm by borrowing the origin of the Heavenly Demon Great World.

Just as Luo Hou was deducing the true meaning of the demonic path, a piercing pain caused him to vomit blood, his face turning purplish-blue.

"This is the sixth avatar to be slain! Very well, it seems the four of you intend to fight me to the death at the end of this era. Then I will grant your wish!"

Rahu was surrounded by raging demonic flames. At this moment, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons merged into the depths of the earth veins in the northern wilderness. The Great Heavenly Demon Blade was unsheathed, and the Great Millstone of Annihilation above Rahu's head slowly turned.

In the instant that space and time tore apart, Luo Hou's figure appeared above the Azure Demon Mountain in the Northern Region. The Great Heavenly Demon Blade slashed down in an instant, and the dark and domineering Heavenly Demon Blade light cut through the ever-surging and rising pure immortal light beneath him.

The earth trembled violently, and a narrow ravine appeared. Guang Chengzi, one of the four ancient immortals of the Xuanmen, looked at the descending Demon Ancestor Luo Hou with a solemn expression. Behind him, the towering Gate of Myriad Wonders slowly opened.

Chi Jingzi, Chi Songzi, and Ning Fengzi emerged one after another. The combined auras of the four ancient immortals perfectly withstood the violent yet extremely oppressive demonic aura emanating from Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

The Yin-Yang Five Elements divine light emanating from Guang Chengzi swept across the surroundings like a sharp sword, while three-colored Daoist Qi and celestial light rose from the Five Smoke Bronze Furnace in front of Ning Fengzi.

Above Chisongzi's head, the Eight-Turn Golden Elixir cast thousands of golden and jade-like rays of light. Chijingzi clasped his hands together, and the Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Array Diagram appeared all around, evolving into a wondrous and unpredictable, vast array encompassing heaven and earth.

The Gate of All Wonders, imbued with pure and boundless celestial light, blocked the world-destroying millstone that was like an abyss devouring all things. The moment the two supreme treasures of the Void collided, the celestial energy and demonic light snapped simultaneously.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders descended from the highest point of the sky, completely annihilating Mo Yan, who was burning fiercely on the Great Millstone of Annihilation. However, the extremely deep demonic energy within the Great Millstone of Annihilation seemed to have a life of its own, continuously spreading and eroding the true form of the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

The divine light of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, the Eight-Turn Golden Elixir, the Five-Smoke Bronze Furnace, the Taiyi Four Symbols and Eight Gates Array Diagram, and the four supreme treasures of creation shone brightly. At this moment, the true meaning of the Xuanmen Great Dao connected the four supreme treasures of creation.

The Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation encompasses the four poles and eight directions of heaven and earth. The Eight-Turn Golden Elixir and the Five-Smoke Copper Furnace evolve the true meaning of the purity and turbidity of heaven and earth, while the divine light of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements merges into the four poles and eight directions, making the already extremely grand and mysterious Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation even more vast and boundless.

As the mighty power of the formation expanded, the four swords of Zhuxian that had just appeared around Demon Ancestor Luo Hou were entangled by the vast immortal light emanating from the Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation and dragged into the formation. The mighty power of heaven and earth surged and burned, and the energy of the four great treasures of creation from the four profound gates was connected.

Under the control of the four ancient immortals Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Chi Songzi, and Ning Fengzi, the power of this newly born Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation was amplified to its extreme. Even the Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, which wield the power of killing, was unable to break out of this great formation for a time.

The profound and mysterious Dao of Xuanmen evolved into all things, the universe and nature. The Zhuxian Sword Formation, formed by the four swords of Zhuxian, burst forth with four extremely fierce sword lights, but they were blocked one after another by the great power of the four directions and eight corners that emerged.

Boundless primordial pure energy descended, and the sounds of dragons roaring, tigers howling, phoenixes crying, and turtles howling rang out one after another. The four sacred beasts appeared in the Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation Diagram. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, each of the four sacred beasts, were accompanied by countless stars, blocking the fierce Four Swords of Immortal Execution.

Luo Hou looked at the Four Swords of Zhuxian, which had been held back by the Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation in an instant. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that this Taiyi Four Symbols Eight Gates Formation was specially prepared for his Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Before the battle even officially began, Luo Hou's two supreme treasures of the Void were already restricted. A faint, cold light flashed across the Great Heavenly Demon Blade, and Luo Hou let out a cold shout. The domineering light of the Heavenly Demon Blade tore through the Yin-Yang Five Elements divine light that burst forth in front of Guang Chengzi, engulfing Guang Chengzi and his companions.

After traveling for tens of thousands of years, Taiwei finally arrived at the Northern Star Region where the Three Palaces Imperial Palace was located. As soon as he arrived at the Northern Star Region, Taiwei sensed the slightly disordered heavenly secrets in the primordial world.
