Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 228 The Path of the Emperor and the Demon

"Next, you need to find a way to hold out for a hundred years. I will defeat Rahu within that time."

Taiwei looked at Rahu charging from afar, and the Heavenly Sun Fin appeared in his palm. Ten crown wheels behind his head burst forth with boundless light and heat. The brilliant golden-red blade light instantly slashed down, tearing the earth and sky apart and collapsing.

The domineering and fierce Heavenly Sun Blade light, which obliterated everything, annihilated the surging demonic energy. With a roar, Taiwei remained motionless, and the Ten Sun Crown Wheels burning fiercely around him illuminated the surrounding tens of millions of miles of heaven and earth with light.

Opposite Taiwei, Luo Hou unleashed a fierce blade of light from his Great Heavenly Demon Blade, extinguishing the surrounding gloomy and dark flames.

Looking at Taiwei, whose crown wheel was burning and whose expression was cold and stern, a look of bewilderment flashed in Luo Hou's eyes. At this moment, Taiwei and the Azure Heaven Dao Lord at the beginning of creation were perfectly superimposed.

"I didn't expect you to still retain such power. Ten Yang Heavenly Dao, it seems you are not a reincarnation."

The Great Heavenly Demon Blade unleashed countless blade lights, the deep blade light tearing through the swirling streams of fire. The dark demonic energy on Rahu's body danced wildly like a cloak, and the twelve-petaled black lotus beneath his feet spun. In an instant, the Great Heavenly Demon Blade collided with the Heavenly Sun Fin in Taiwei's hand tens of millions of times.

Taiwei's Fierce Blade Technique carries the domineering and fierce power of the Ten Yang Heavenly Dao, erasing everything. Luohou's Great Heavenly Demon Blade carries Luohou's demonic foundation, making him the only one who reigns supreme and slaughters all spirits.

Both sword techniques are extremely domineering in nature. The moment the battle began, the Heavenly Sun Fin and the Great Heavenly Demon Blade spontaneously unleashed terrifying sword light. Taiwei and Luohou's bodies trembled, and their auras surged continuously before being torn apart by the sword light unleashed by their opponent.

The dazzling Ten Yang Heavenly Dao and the pitch-black Heavenly Demon Dao collided, and the void of heaven and earth where Taiwei and Luohou were located began to collapse inch by inch.

The dazzling and magnificent flames hung in the sky like a necklace, while the dark demonic energy transformed into countless dragons and snakes that devoured Taiwei. The void trembled and tore apart once more, and endless flames and demonic energy poured out in all directions.

Qian Yuelin unleashed countless Taiyin sword lights, freezing and shattering the wisps of demonic energy escaping from in front of her. Youying held the Xuan Yin Mystic Pill given to her by Taiwei in her left hand, while her right hand slashed down with Qian Yuelin, the eerie and cold sword light piercing through the void.

A large hand reached out from the void and crushed the Taiyin Blade Light that Youying had unleashed. The tall, black-clad, and bearded Emperor Gao, the ruler of the Demon Realm, appeared before Youying.

Gale, thunder, flames, rocks, and floods—five of the most violent forces in nature—burst forth from Di Gao's body, sealing off the space-time around You Ying.

Seeing the cold expression on Youying's face as she held Qian Yuelin horizontally before him, Di Gao frowned, a surge of anger rising within him: "A Golden Immortal against a Taiyi? Do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"Before the battle ends, no one can know in advance who will win and who will die. You've cultivated for so long and you still don't understand this principle? Besides, who told you it was a Golden Immortal versus a Taiyi Immortal?"

Youying's voice became mysterious and hoarse at this moment. The blood-red Thousand Moon Scales reflected the anger on Di Gao's face. At this moment, the Profound Yin Mystery Pill in Youying's left palm transformed into streams of Profound Yin Qi and merged into Youying's body.

The Profound Yin Mystery Pill is a Profound Yin Pill that Taiwei reversed using a million Black Lotus Demon Seeds. Profound Yin and Taiyin are essentially both types of the Great Dao of Ultimate Yin, originating from the same source. After consuming the Profound Yin Mystery Pill, Youying's own Taiyin origin was stimulated by the Profound Yin Qi and surged forth again.

As the phases of the moon appeared one after another, Youying's cultivation aura began to rise rapidly under the watchful gaze of Emperor Gao. In just three breaths, Youying's cultivation level had already risen to the Taiyi realm.

The surging lunar radiance transformed into thousands of silver-white moons that circled around Youying, while Qianyuelin, with a faint, eerie blood-red light, transformed into a crescent moon.

As the crescent moon fell, countless other moons followed. Emperor Gao looked at the countless moons falling from the sky before him, his expression changed drastically, and five Demonic Pearls, each bearing the immense power of calamities, appeared before him.

Ten thousand tornadoes raged, blazing white lightning exploded, and dazzling lava blazed. Mountains collapsed and crumbled, and tidal waves surged and crashed. Vast demonic energy, drawing upon five natural forces, blocked countless moons.

The chilling cold wave and ice and snow froze all the wind, thunder, water and fire at this moment. However, the five kinds of natural forces that kept exploding also shattered the rounds of moon phase blade light. Emperor Gao's expression was solemn, and his body was filled with surging demonic energy.

The Emperor Demon Path is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth opened up by Emperor Ke, the second Demon Ancestor of the Demon Path in the past. The so-called Emperor Demon Path refers to the absolute control over the Yin and Turbid Demonic Qi of Heaven and Earth.

At his peak, Emperor Ke was able to control the nine great forces of nature between heaven and earth. Emperor Gao was actually a celestial demon that was regenerated from the part of Emperor Gao's original essence that Rahu had collected.

Emperor Gao was born in the Heavenly Demon Realm and inherited part of Emperor Ke's origin. In addition, with the Emperor Demon Path passed down to him by Rahu, Emperor Gao was able to cultivate smoothly all the way to where he is now and become one of the seven great demon lords of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Among the six demon lords besides Rahu, Di Gao is the only one loyal to Rahu. Rahu sensed that Taiwei had a companion, which is why he asked Di Gao to come with him to deal with Youying.

However, feeling the magnificent aura emanating from Youying, which was in no way inferior to his own, Di Gao felt heavy-hearted. It was impossible for him and Youying to determine a winner in a short time. Moreover, recalling the cold expression on Youying's face earlier, a look of unease flashed across Di Gao's face.

Emperor Gao felt that at the moment the battle began, You Ying seemed to have become a different person. The mysterious and cold aura around her, like a blood moon, made Emperor Gao feel very uncomfortable.

Blood Moon - Moment!

The eerie, cold blade light seemed to distort the order of time, and the blood-red blade light traversed space, tearing a narrow crack in the space between Emperor Gao and the space he was in.

The natural power on the five Demonic Pearls twisted and shattered. Emperor Gao looked at the scarlet blade light entwined on the Demonic Pearls and was suddenly shocked. He then looked at You Ying with a solemn expression.

"Don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Is this the only pathetic scheme a so-called Demon Emperor can pull?"

A cold, deathly voice came from behind Di Gao, a sinister look on his face. The surging tide around Di Gao transformed into a pitch-black abyss.

The extremely profound demonic energy accumulated and transformed in the Demon Abyss, and streaks of scarlet blood moon blade light shot out, but were completely absorbed by the ever-expanding devouring force in the Demon Abyss the moment they landed in front of Emperor Gao.

Emperor Gao inherited the Demonic Path of the former Emperor Ke. Although Emperor Gao only mastered five natural powers, he also used them to develop five volumes of the Demonic Path.

The Book of the Black Sea Abyss, which evolves into an abyss and devours everything; the Book of the Sky-Piercing Dragon, which tears the sky and shatters the earth and disrupts space with storms; and the Book of the Netherworld, which brings forth the demon realm through the confluence of mountains and rivers.

The Heavenly Demon Yin Thunder Scripture is a work of Yin energy that rises and transforms into countless Yin thunderbolts; the Heavenly Demon Yin Thunder Scripture is a work of poisonous fire that burns, corrodes the flesh, and scorches life.

With these five large volumes in hand, Emperor Gao was able to firmly sit on the position of one of the seven great demon lords of the Heavenly Demon Realm. At this moment, Emperor Gao was using the "Book of the Black Sea Abyss".

A dark abyss lay prostrate at the feet of the Emperor, its omnipresent power annihilating all spiritual energy and supernatural abilities between heaven and earth.

Once the blood moon blade light unleashed by Youying entered within a hundred feet of Di Gao, it was shattered by the invisible and intangible twisted force field.

Standing atop the abyss, Di Gao coldly gazed at You Ying. His pale fingers spread wide, and countless bolts of Yin lightning transformed into wildly dancing dragons and snakes, piercing towards You Ying's body.

Blood Moon and Spider Lily!

In that instant, Qian Yuelin unleashed a wild slash, and countless crimson blade lights slowly converged before You Ying. A strange and alluring spider lily, swaying slightly with the storm, appeared before You Ying.

The blinding crimson light shattered all the incoming Yin lightning, and the enormous spider lily was branded like a totem onto the abyss beneath Emperor Gao.

The spider lilies, which were in bud, fully opened at this moment, each petal bearing countless moons unfolding. Emperor Gao's expression changed, and his body instantly disappeared above the abyss.

In the next instant, the countless moons on the spider lilies burst forth with a rolling cold wave, and the extreme yin radiance enveloped the entire abyss in an instant.

The roaring tide and surging mist were all frozen and encased. The boundless abyss was broken in the middle at this moment, like two black leaves setting off the red spider lily in the center.

"If this is all you're going to do, then the next blow will be your death."

With a cold expression, Youying held the Thousand Moon Scale in her hand and looked coldly at the pale-faced Emperor Gao in the sky, who was still surrounded by countless frost-white moons.

Qian Yuelin glowed with scarlet moonlight, and Youying's figure swept past Di Gao, tearing apart the five layers of surging natural power in front of Di Gao with a fierce line of blood.

The Demonic Pearls unleashed immense power, crushing the blood-red light sweeping towards him. A crisp shattering sound rang out, and Di Gao stared at the fine cracks appearing on the five Demonic Pearls before him, his pupils contracting to their maximum.

With a fierce shout, five demonic pearls revolved around Di Gao, and the surging demonic energy and flames burned. Under You Ying's gaze, Di Gao's figure transformed into a terrifying black dragon with a wingspan of ten thousand feet, covered in jet-black scales, and five heads that controlled the five great forces of nature.

Gale, thunder, blazing flames, mountain rocks, and tides—five natural forces—surged forth from the black dragon's five gaping maws, engulfing Youying's body with their violent demonic energy and natural power.

"Imperial edict? I knew that the reason why Emperor Ke died so quickly back then must have been because you secretly interfered."

Taiwei looked at Di Gao, who was fighting You Ying in the distance, and instantly unleashed the Heavenly Sun Fin. The blazing and brilliant blade light shattered the endless darkness, and Taiwei shattered one Heavenly Demon Blade Light after another.

The Heavenly Sun Fin Shark Tooth-like blade deflected the Great Heavenly Demon Blade. A cold light flashed in Taiwei's eyes, and he waved his left sleeve, which, like a canopy, encompassed all things in the universe.
