Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 187 Demon Lord Emperor Shitian

With Donghua's move this time, he has completely solidified his title as the number one person below the Hunyuan level.

Previously, people only knew this title because of the "Taiwei Era," and it was mostly a mocking term, only circulating among people below the Great Luo level.

However, with the establishment of the Heavenly Punishment War, this title was no longer a joke, but a real one. The number one person below the Hunyuan level began to circulate among the Daluo and Quasi-Saints.

In an instant, the name Donghua resounded throughout the primordial world and spread throughout the heavens and the universe.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and several thousand years had passed since the last time the Heavenly Punishment was established. During this time, Donghua had been using the Jade Disc of Creation to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos.

After her breakthrough, the Queen Mother of the West went into seclusion again to consolidate her cultivation.

As of a few days ago, the two of them have both emerged from seclusion!

After leaving the pass, there wasn't much to do. He traveled around, taught his disciples, and preached in the Purple Palace.

With three hours remaining until the agreed-upon deployment time, the entire Purple Mansion began operating like a war machine, accumulating various war preparation resources.

Wanbaoge collects materials from all over the world, such as divine medicines for alchemy, divine iron, ice crystals, immortal copper, and so on for weapon forging.

Once these materials reach the Purple Mansion, they begin to be refined into various elixirs, weapons, talismans, and array flags...

Donghua stood atop the peak, quietly watching the busy crowd, but his heart was far from calm, for he and Zifu were about to leave Zifu completely.

He had no idea whether this path was right or wrong, or whether he could succeed. After all, his next enemies would be liches, myriad races, even primordial beings, and saints.

Everything is still uncertain!

But no matter the outcome, Donghua has no regrets, because this is the path he chose, and it is his way!

Donghua looked up at the three islands and ten continents, and his mind gradually calmed down.

"I'm determined to become the Heavenly Emperor!"

……

In the midst of chaos, in an unknown place, a small world floated there, standing out conspicuously because it was surrounded by nothingness and chaos.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu is in this world, because he created this world.

Within the small world, demonic figures stood in dense clusters, while in a central hall, demons would occasionally emerge.

Inside the main hall, the Demon Ancestor Rahu sat on a lotus throne, and in front of him were three thousand black bronze coffins arranged in an unknown formation, which looked very strange.

Black copper, also known as demon copper, is an extremely rare raw material. It is the best material for refining spiritual treasures and can harm a person's primordial spirit and soul.

Originally abundant in the western continent of the primordial world, black copper has now disappeared from the primordial world and is no longer found.

But none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that above the three thousand black bronze coffins, a red coffin is floating.

Upon closer inspection, the red coffin turned out to be an innate spiritual treasure, though its level was unknown.

Rahu mobilized the power of chaos to activate the formation. The endless power of chaos transformed into demonic energy that swirled between the three thousand coffins. Then, most of the power surged into the red coffin.

The red coffin was spinning rapidly, absorbing the surging demonic energy with all its might, and this process was ongoing.

After reaching a point of equilibrium, several more demonic figures broke out of the coffin, bowed to Rahu, and then withdrew from the main hall.

At this point, all three thousand coffins had been broken open. Rahu smiled lightly, mobilized the power of the Great Dao, and transformed it into a ball of demonic flame.

Wherever the demonic flames passed, all three thousand black bronze coffins turned into liquid, flowing into the red coffin above.

After absorbing all the black copper, the red coffin finally stopped rotating.

"Boom!"

With a thud, the red coffin landed in the main hall.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Hou opened the coffin lid, which was filled with four kinds of light: red, black, gray, and white. The gray and white light was the power of the laws of life and death, the black light was the power of the demonic path, and the red light should be a kind of law power that the red coffin itself possessed.

As the four lights disappeared, a figure soared into the sky and then landed in the main hall.

The figure was handsome, with a full head of red hair, wearing black armor, and a red Taoist mark in the middle of his forehead, which looked slightly eerie.

After the figure emerged, it carefully assessed its own condition, then surveyed the entire hall, and finally bowed to Rahu, saying:

"Greetings, Demon Ancestor!"

Luo Hou waved his hand and said, "Hmm, not bad. It was not in vain that I suffered such severe injuries to save a wisp of your true spirit and used the Heavenly Coffin to regenerate you. Only with your return can our Demonic Path have hope."

The figure gave a bitter smile and said, "The past is gone with the wind, like fleeting clouds. Now, only the Demon Emperor Shitian remains alive!"

"Indra?"

Luo Hou pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "This name is good, it suits your situation quite well. Indra, Indra, hahaha, interesting!"

The person before me was Di Jun, no, he should be called Di Shitian, because Di Jun was completely dead, that much was certain.

Unexpectedly, Rahu preserved a trace of his true spirit and used demonic magic to give birth to a new being, Indra!

However, because it was formed from a wisp of Di Jun's true spirit, it possesses some of Di Jun's memories.

But it must be said that this name really suits him, and it's also quite mystical.

Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor, Indra!

Rahu looked at Indra and said, "Now that the God-Slaying Spear has been sealed by Donghua in the East Sea, and I don't have any good spiritual treasures to give you, I will bestow upon you the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus today."

"Although the Black Lotus is not my innate spiritual treasure, it is the one that has been with me the longest. Not only is its defense unparalleled, but it also has countless wonderful uses. I hope you will cherish it and use it with caution!"

"I also have two spirit blades called Heavenly Blade Blades, which are top-grade innate spiritual treasures. When the two are combined, they are no less powerful than top-grade innate spiritual treasures."

After Rahu finished speaking, he automatically released the mark from the black lotus and brandished two blades. Indra did not refuse and readily accepted the black lotus and the Heavenly Blade.

Rahu rose and went outside the main hall, where three thousand heavenly demons waited and bowed to him.

"I am about to sacrifice myself to cleave the heavens and open up the outer demon realm. At that time, I will fall into a state of slumber, returning to the heavens of the demon realm, and will not be able to return until the demonic path prevails throughout the primordial world!"

After saying this, Rahu stopped and looked at Indra beside him, saying, "After I ascend to heaven, Indra will become the Demon Lord, ruling over all beings in the Demon Realm beyond my domain. Indra can decide everything in the Demon Realm with a single word. Do you all understand?"

The three thousand demons all looked at Indra.

Emperor Shitian's expression darkened, and a twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus appeared beneath his feet, emanating a quasi-saint aura that suppressed the entire area, instantly silencing everyone.

"We pay our respects to the Demon Lord!"

Di Shitian smiled. This was the way of the demonic path, where strength was paramount. As long as one was strong enough, one would naturally gain the recognition of others. He then gently raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

Luo Hou was already used to this scene, and then slowly walked out of the small world and into the chaos.

In his field of vision, there stood an ancient palace, the Zixiao Palace, untouched by the boundless chaotic energy.

Luo Hou walked to the Zixiao World and entered the Zixiao Palace, where Hongjun was sitting upright in the main hall, as if waiting for his arrival.

"You've come!"

"I am coming!"

"You shouldn't have come!"

"Hongjun, I can come and go as I please. The world is vast, where can't I go?"

As Luo Hou's imposing aura dissipated, he was about to sit down, but this time Hongjun did not indulge him. With a flick of his whisk, he knocked Luo Hou to the ground.

He then swung his sword several times, sending Rahu tumbling and rolling in all directions.

Once things had calmed down, Hongjun coldly snorted and said, "How dare you call me Hongjun? From now on, be more polite and respectful when you see me!"

Luo Hou stood up from the ground, his eyes filled with rage, demonic flames rising, wanting to fight Hongjun to the death.

But with a single glance from Hongjun, he could only suppress his anger and said sternly, "Hongjun, you just wait! The day I return will be the day I destroy your immortal path!"

After finishing his words, Luo Hou did not linger any longer and left Zixiao Palace, flying directly into the Chaos.

Seeing this, Hongjun sighed and said, "Rahu, remember this anger. I hope it will prevent you from sinking into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, otherwise this old Daoist will truly be too lonely!"

Filled with rage, Luo Hou arrived at the border between the primordial world and the chaos, and with a casual wave of his hand, endless chaotic energy spread out.

A demonic figure stood amidst the primordial chaos, its feet planted firmly on the ground, and then unleashed boundless primordial power.

The three thousand Great Daos formed three thousand black holes. Rahu unleashed three thousand punches, and the three thousand black holes pierced through the chaos. The punches cracked the chaos, and the endless chaotic energy was shaken back. A world dependent on the primordial wilderness began to form.

The three thousand black holes continued to spread in all directions until they finally could not withstand the pressure of the chaos and stopped.

At the same time, a turbid world truly took shape, and all things were born, their vastness unknown!

As heaven and earth were formed, chaotic energy from beyond the realm compressed into the world, attempting to destroy this newly formed world.

Luo Hou snorted coldly, and with a casual grab, he took the small world he had created earlier and placed it in the center of the new world. Then the two worlds began to merge.

With another grab, the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus appeared in his hand. As the primordial power surged in, the black lotus began to grow larger, covering the sky and the sun, and quickly stabilizing the newly formed world.

At this moment, Luo Hou glanced at this world, then fixed his gaze on the primordial world, as if he were reluctant to leave. Finally, he looked at the Zixiao Palace in the chaos, his eyes cold.

"Hongjun, you just wait! I will surpass you one day, and I will personally kill you to quell the hatred in my heart!"

After Luo Hou finished speaking, he began to release the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Heavenly Demon Great Dao. The Great Daos separated from Luo Hou and scattered into the world, beginning to merge into the new world. This dissipation was a complete dissipation.

As the power of the Great Dao was integrated, Rahu's aura began to decline rapidly, until he became an ordinary person, as if a gust of wind could knock him down.

However, with the influx of the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the new world instantly began to nurture mountains, rivers, and all living things.

However, due to the existence of the Heavenly Demon Path, all living beings in the world are of the demon race.

Indra, leading three thousand celestial demons, stood in the primordial world, quietly experiencing this visual feast, a process of the creation of all things from nothingness, which was truly awe-inspiring.

"The immense power of primordial chaos is truly enviable!"
