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

Chapter 188 I am the Demon Emperor, the Embryo of a Spiritual Treasure

Rahu struggled to his feet. In truth, he had already perished once again the moment the Great Dao dissipated, for he was now only a physical form without a spirit.

"By the Great Dao above, today I, Rahu, shatter the chaos, open the Demon Realm, and give birth to demonic beings. Because the Demon Realm is incomplete, I am willing to transform myself into the Dao to mend the world. The Demon Realm is born!"

As Rahu's voice faded, the Eye of the Great Dao descended upon the Demon Realm, looking down upon Rahu and all living beings in the Demon Realm, as if sensing something.

Meanwhile, a storm formed by chaotic energy swept through the demon realm, attempting to reduce this world to nothingness and return it to chaos.

In the Demon Realm, the three thousand Great Daos transformed from Rahu formed the power of rules and began to resist the erosion from chaos.

Until the ninth scourge arrived, the heavens and earth trembled, as if they could no longer withstand the suppression of chaos. The world began to collapse, seemingly showing signs of returning to chaos.

Just then, Indra led three thousand demons to imbue the black lotus with demonic power and the power of laws.

The Black Lotus of Annihilation once again shone brightly, soaring into the sky, crossing the Demon Realm, and colliding with the Chaos Storm in the Chaos.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed through the chaos, resounding throughout the primordial world and all the realms.

Meanwhile, Donghua, atop the Purple Mansion Peak, seemed to sense something. He looked up at the sky, his eyes piercing through the heavens and reaching the edge of the world, where he saw what was happening in the chaos.

Is the extraterrestrial demon realm about to be unleashed?

Donghua soared into the sky, traversing the nine heavens, and arrived at the edge of chaos. At this time, many powerful beings also came, including the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti, Taiyi, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Styx, Fuxi, and so on.

The chaotic storm had subsided, and the Black Lotus of Annihilation returned to the world.

The Eye of the Great Dao, interwoven with Daoist principles, hangs high, its gaze fixed on the Demon Realm and Rahu. At a certain moment, the Eye of the Great Dao releases boundless power of Dao principles, traversing the Demon Realm. Wherever the Dao principles pass, the Demon Realm is reshaped and stands firmly in the chaos!

This means that the Great Dao has acknowledged the birth of the Demon Realm!

Then the Eye of the Great Dao dissipated.

Rahu chuckled softly, then spoke again: "By the Heavenly Dao, today I, Rahu, transform into the Demon Realm beyond the realms, becoming countless Heavenly Demons, to set up a demonic calamity for all living beings in the primordial world—a calamity of inner demons. Those whose hearts are weak will be invaded by inner demons, dying and perishing. From this day forward, the Dao will decline and the demons will rise, and the Dao will rise and the demons will fall!"

"Heaven will bear witness!"

As Luo Hou finished speaking, the Eye of Heaven manifested, illuminating the outer demon realm. The power of Heaven impacted the demon realm, absorbing the wills of all beings within it, and began to circulate in the outer demon realm.

As the power of the Heavenly Dao deepened, the extraterrestrial demon realm underwent another change, breaking away from its original trajectory and ultimately becoming dependent on the primordial world, subject to the rule of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao has acknowledged the existence of the extraterrestrial demon realm and the extraterrestrial celestial demons!

Upon seeing this, Donghua activated the demonic power within his body, and the power of the Dao began to condense. The evil corpse Jingyang absorbed the demonic power, broke free of his body, and landed in the outer demon realm.

"I am the Great Free Demon King, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, who calls himself the Demon Emperor. All beings of the Demon Realm who are willing may join my ranks. I will protect you and lead you on your journey!"

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi, Taishang, Minghe, and Nuwa also released their evil corpses, transforming into celestial demons and entering the demon realm.

"I am the Primordial Heavenly Demon!"

"I am the Supreme Heavenly Demon!"

"I am the Demon of Slaughter!"

"I am the Creator Demon!"

With the emergence of the extraterrestrial demon realm and the establishment of the inner demon tribulation, fortune and merit will naturally descend. If you don't grab a share of the pie now, when will you participate?

The Demon Ancestor Rahu was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he was delighted by the arrival of everyone, because he would become the Heaven and the Dao of the Demon Realm. As long as people joined, the Demon Realm would naturally become stronger, and what was a big deal about dividing up some fortune and merit?

Only Indra and the three thousand demons were furious, because this act had stolen their fortune and merits, how could they not be angry?

The Dao patterns in Di Shitian's eyes flickered as he stared intently at Donghua and the others in the chaos.

At this moment, Donghua also noticed Di Shitian. His first feeling was that he was familiar with him. He then used his Dharma Eye to take a look and found out why.

"That's interesting!"

"Even if you are a wisp of true spirit, don't even think about living in this world!"

He then stopped paying attention to Indra, because another great change was about to occur.

As the extraterrestrial demon realm attached itself to the primordial world, the primordial world underwent tremendous changes. Endless spiritual energy surged into the world, as if it had been upgraded once again. The Three Thousand Great Daos manifested in the primordial world and lasted for nine days.

"Dad!"

With a soft sound, the outer demon realm completely became dependent on the primordial world, and the power of the Heavenly Dao penetrated deep into the demon realm.

Rahu's divine body began to dissipate, eventually merging with the power of the Demon Realm's laws to become the Heaven and the Way of the Demon Realm!

As the primordial world upgraded and Rahu transformed into the Dao, a great deal of merit burst forth from the Heavenly Dao and scattered throughout the Demon Realm.

Indra, the Three Thousand Heavenly Demons, Donghua, Yuanshi, Taishang, Nuwa, and others absorbed seventy percent of the merit power, while the remaining half descended into the Demon Realm to evolve the world and nurture all living beings.

Merit and fortune converged on the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, which was transformed from the evil corpse Jingyang. His cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds, and in an instant, he reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, the same level as the original Donghua.

Emperor Shitian's cultivation also broke through from the early stage of Quasi-Saint to the peak of Quasi-Saint, and Taishang and others also made breakthroughs.

Everyone got rich in one fell swoop, enjoying the benefits of the Demon Realm's emergence, but only a small number of people did so; most people still had nothing.

With this, all matters concerning the Demon Realm came to an end!

Just as everyone was about to return to the primordial world, a voice rang out:

"Come to Zixiao Palace immediately!"

Donghua and the others exchanged a glance and flew off!

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace!

"Greetings, Master/Teacher."

Hongjun gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Now that the Demon Realm has emerged, the battle between immortals and demons has begun again. The beings of the Demon Realm will invade the Primordial World and seize its destiny."

"Donghua, as the head of the male immortals, you should shoulder the responsibility of protecting all immortals and resisting the invasion of the demon realm. Are you willing?"

After hearing this, Donghua thought about it. The invasion of the Demon Realm was a large-scale invasion. It was an invasion that started from outside the realm, descended from the Nine Heavens, passed through the Heavenly Court, and entered the prehistoric world!

Therefore, the Heavenly Court is the main force resisting the invasion of the Demon Realm, and the Dao Ancestor now wants him and the Purple Mansion to resist, which is very difficult.

However, the Demon Realm is still in its infancy, and it's unknown when a large-scale invasion will occur. By then, he might have already taken over the Heavenly Court.

"Reporting back to Master, as the head of the male immortals and with the Purple Mansion being a major force in the immortal path, this matter is my inescapable responsibility. I am willing to follow Master's arrangements."

Hongjun smiled and said, "Excellent, very good!"

"Taiyi, as a celestial power ruling over the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Heavenly Court also bears the responsibility of guardianship, protecting the primordial world. Are you willing?"

Donghuang Taiyi thought for a moment and said, "I would like to inform the Dao Ancestor that the Heavenly Court is willing to take on this responsibility, but the Heavenly Court is currently in a state of decline and there are areas where it cannot be fully covered. I ask the Dao Ancestor for forgiveness."

Hongjun said nothing about this matter, but looked at the Three Pure Ones and the others and said, "You also need to lend a hand. When the Dao declines, the demons rise; when the Dao rises, the demons decline. This matter concerns your destiny. When the demonic path flourishes, Rahu will return from the Great Dao, and there will be another great calamity in the primordial world!"

"We understand, thank you, Master!"

Hongjun nodded, signaling everyone to step back, but left Donghua behind. He then casually waved his hand and retrieved the Creation Jade Disc.

"The Jade Disc of Creation has been in your hands for eight sessions, totaling one hundred thousand years. Now that it has reached its perfect completion, I have used the power of the Heavenly Dao to refine a spiritual treasure embryo for you, which has the potential to grow. Do you like it?"

Donghua took it and saw that it was a sword-shaped spiritual treasure embryo, filled with the power of the Heavenly Dao and exuding an imperial power. From this, it could be seen that Hongjun had put a lot of effort into it.

He immersed his mind in the embryonic spirit treasure, feeling the imperial power contained within it. The image of the Heavenly Emperor appeared, and his own imperial power began to circulate.

The embryo trembled gently, and the two merged together, complementing each other perfectly!

"Many thanks, Master! Donghua admires your great power and is deeply grateful!"

Hongjun stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. Since I've accepted you as my disciple, I should do something for you. But I can only help you this far; you still have to walk your own path!"

"Disciple understands, thank you for your teachings, Master!"

P.S.: Guys, I've been dealing with some personal issues these past couple of days – moving, a toothache, and a mix of other things. It's been tough, so updates have been a bit slower. Sorry!
