Ever since Jiang Mo locked onto it and launched his attack, this strongest monarch from another realm has been completely trapped in a desperate situation. His physical body has been reborn countless times, but in the end, he still cannot change the fact that he cannot withstand the sharpness of this Xuanzun.
Even though the old gluttonous beast had experienced countless battles in its life, it had never encountered a human as powerful as this one. Its magical weapon, the Cold Mountain Axe, which had accompanied it in battle for many years, was shattered by the Heavenly Abyss monster's bare hands.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the Gluttonous King would never have believed that anyone in the world could completely defeat him and many other kings, including the Demon Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom, in just a few minutes.
Supreme Dao Lord.
Tianxinjing (Heavenly Mind Realm)
It is also blessed by an unknown innate magical artifact.
This was the Taotie King's overall assessment of the second true form. Deeply despairing, its face paled slightly, and its eyes still held immense shock. It tentatively asked:
"You...you...you're not a being from Tianyuan, are you?"
"There's no need for you to trouble yourself with that."
Jiang Mo sneered, and suddenly a silver-gray light spread from the five fingers that were holding its head. It was the expansion of the power of time. In less than a breath, the defeated Taotie King was completely sealed inside the Time Amber.
The starry sky was cold and silent. Of the twenty-three top experts of the Sunset Royal Court, except for the Dragon King who had perished, the other twenty-two powerful figures were barely clinging to life.
However, they all suffered the same fate, being sealed away by Jiang Mo one after another, without even a chance to commit suicide. Their injuries were too severe, and they were on the verge of death.
"Boom!!!"
After sweeping away the battlefield, Jiang Mo once again transformed into a dazzling ray of light, tearing through the vast void of the universe and returning along the original path.
After this battle, he became convinced that the suppression rules of Tianyuan were limited, confined to the solar system, and would weaken with distance until they ceased to exist.
This is why those demons dared to boast that they would take his life and forcibly seize his innate magical artifacts.
On Tianyuan Star, which has crossed over from another realm, suppression is the most powerful and irresistible force.
The Sunset Demon Emperor and the kings could not unleash even one percent of their combat power, but when they arrived in the distant starry sky, they were at one hundred percent of their cultivation level, which was truly terrifying. Their combat power soared wildly, giving them the confidence to tear off all pretenses.
Jiang Mo was shocked. His previous speculations had some fatal oversights. The so-called rulers of the four and five palaces of the demon race, all of whom were blessed by ancient life stars, were not weak.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the cultivation of a Flying Immortal Master or an ancient being of the Three Clans, if they were to face a Five Palace Ruler alone, and a Life Palace with more than two Ancient Life Stars, they would be destined to lose.
Even if all four attack together, they might not be able to kill a demon ruler with five palaces and two stars.
Born within the Heavenly Abyss, they cannot avoid innate defects. From the very beginning of their cultivation journey, as they climb to higher levels, each realm is affected by the incomplete laws of heaven and earth, resulting in a significant difference between them and beings from beyond the realm.
Countless differences, when combined, become an insurmountable chasm, with a combat power gap of tens or even hundreds of times.
Even Jiang Mo was affected by this, but he cultivated the Five Qi Extreme Body and broke through the tribulations of the physical body and the soul one after another, which allowed him to continuously raise his realm, so the gap was not so obvious.
Speaking of the second true form, it is the result of plundering the bloodlines of all the strong in the world, stealing their racial talents and supernatural powers, and using them for its own purposes, thus giving birth to a powerful being capable of fighting against extraterrestrial beings.
In addition, the assistance of ritual implements is also crucial.
If the Sunset Demon Emperor's clone had also possessed a primordial magic weapon, it certainly wouldn't have been defeated so quickly; instead, it would have sparked a fierce and bloody battle.
Both sides have similar cultivation levels. Unless the conditions are almost identical, there won't be a situation where ordinary human cultivators and demon beings engage in a battle of wits and courage, going back and forth for several days and nights.
The battles between beings of the highest rank are often fought with a single, all-out attack, using overwhelming force to suppress the opponent. Once a mistake is made, defeat is irreversible.
This is also a combat method that Jiang Mo has been accustomed to for a long time.
Aside from battles he is 100% certain to win, any creature weaker than him, close to him, or on par with him will inevitably unleash its strongest killing move in normal circumstances as soon as they engage in combat.
As Jiang Mo soared across the starry sky, he was still recalling the fierce yet brief battle he had just fought, and a natural thought arose in his heart: having a weapon in hand is truly wonderful...
Let alone the Sunset Demon Emperor of the Nine Palaces, even he himself might not be able to withstand that sword strike. If he were hit, he would lose at least half his life.
"Boom!!!"
The starry sky was like an infinitely magnified curtain. Jiang Mo moved forward at high speed, covering hundreds of millions of kilometers in an instant. In the boundless universe, he left a magnificent trail and disappeared into the invisible depths.
..........
Beyond the realm, in the Sunset Royal Court, a sacred land of the demon race.
The Sunset Demon Emperor, who shared the same memories, changed his expression drastically, looking as if he was still in shock.
It felt as if it were in dire straits, fighting against the monsters in the abyss. The one-sided slaughter enraged it, but it also felt a chill run down its spine.
Coincidentally, many other monarchs stationed near the palace felt the same way, and they were all in a panic. They rushed to the holy land to meet with the Demon Emperor and discuss a decision.
They never expected that they would be defeated so thoroughly without their cultivation being suppressed.
"Boom!!!"
Above the imperial city, dark clouds stretched for thousands of miles, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The kings, including the Devouring Python, the Shaking Ant, the Gluttonous King, and the Sky-Piercing Cicada, arrived hastily, all of them terrified and uneasy.
Even the Dragon King, who harbored a deep hatred for the murder of his son, arrived with trepidation.
It stood there, pale-faced and looking bewildered, gazing at the Demon Emperor for protection.
When the humans of that abyss said they wanted to cook it, they were not joking!
"Your Majesty, what should we do?!"
An elderly demon general with white hair asked anxiously.
It was also a participant in that battle, yet it didn't even have the chance to fight Jiang Mo before being nearly chopped into mincemeat by countless slashes launched by spider silk.
Even now, thinking back on it, my back still feels uncontrollably numb, and my hands and feet are ice cold and stiff.
"Your Majesty, this beast is ferocious and must not be provoked. I have a suggestion: perhaps we should postpone our previous plans."
The Devouring Python was traumatized and was completely afraid to face that human from the Heavenly Abyss.
It possesses the memories and perceptions of its clone. The pain of being punched to pieces is deeply imprinted on its soul, and its previous arrogance and haughtiness have been completely extinguished.
Its plan was to use the racial supernatural power of the Seven Palaces Ruler, the Heavenly Horse Saint King, to break through the boundary between the two realms and forcefully enter the Heavenly Abyss.
But that's no longer realistic. The situation has completely reversed. With Jiang Mo in charge, Tianyuan is far beyond their reach.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"His Majesty......"
"His Majesty........"
The kings were all offering their advice, while the Sunset Demon Emperor sat quietly on his throne, a complex expression appearing on his face.
His heart sank, and he ignored the words of his ministers. His eyes grew increasingly cautious, and finally he took a deep breath and sighed softly.
"I...I'm afraid I'm no match for that human either."
The Sunset Demon King's words came from the bottom of its heart. It had a strong premonition that without the blessing of that innate magic weapon, it would still have a chance to fight that human.
However, the reality is incredibly cruel. It lacks a magical artifact of the corresponding level, and even if the main body were to personally appear, it would only be a matter of life and death.
This desolate resentment was made undisguised and clearly seen by all the kings, leaving them utterly despondent.
Even a powerful demon king was suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe by that human. They were never the hunters, but the prey being hunted.
"Let's postpone it..."
"We can no longer rashly enter this Heavenly Abyss. With that Xuanzun's cultivation level, he has already sealed all the rifts tightly. It's unrealistic for us to cross over..."
Seeing the somber atmosphere in the hall, the Taotie King spoke helplessly, indicating that as long as the Heavenly Abyss was not opened easily, they still had time, hundreds of years.
"As long as we spend the rest of our lives traversing the stars beyond the heavens, we may find a primordial artifact lost in the long river of time. No matter how desperate we are, we must not sit idly by and wait for death."
Most of the kings agreed with the Taotie King's suggestion, and their tense nerves eased a little.
The Sunset Demon Emperor sighed again, looking at his people, his gaze piercing through the palace and landing on the boundless, vast land, murmuring:
"Everyone, there is no need to be afraid. If a great calamity is to come, I will do everything in my power to lead you away from this place and live in the stars."
"Although I am no match for him, he cannot stop me from leaving if I want to."
The Sunset Demon Emperor has this confidence because of its innate divine power, which grants it immortality.
Even if they were to escape with an entire demon royal court, it would be no problem. They could travel trillions of miles in an instant, and if they continued to do so for about ten breaths, they could reach even more distant mountains and seas without being caught.
Upon hearing this, the eleven kings all felt a great sense of relief.
Having learned that there was a way out, Dark Blade King, Evil Ape King, and Hundred-Eyed Demon Insect King exchanged glances, seemingly communicating, before Dark Blade King boldly proposed:
"Your Majesty, since the worst-case scenario is that we abandon the territory we have lived in for generations and flee to the stars, why don't we turn it upside down before we leave?"
"you mean.....?"
The Sunset Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, as if waiting for it to reveal its full plan before assessing its feasibility.
"Sea of Evil Souls."
"The source of the plague is sealed there. If we open it... there is a very high probability that the ancient crisis will be repeated, and that the human race and the creatures of Tianyuan will be completely wiped out."
The Dark Blade King said expressionlessly.
Having cultivated for nearly two thousand years, it has long since honed its ruthlessness to a sufficient degree.
Even if it means wiping out billions of lives, there will be no wavering or mercy whatsoever, let alone towards opposing races.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Even if we can't wipe out those humans, we can still cause them a lot of trouble. This way, our migration will be safer, preventing the humans from pursuing and intercepting us along the way."
The Evil Ape King echoed this sentiment.
"........"
The other kings present were all terrified after hearing the speeches of Dark Blade King and Evil Ape King.
They also knew a little about the secrets of the Evil Soul Sea. It was said to be a forbidden area for the demon race, a deep abyss of despair, where the dark primordial entity that could corrupt, mutate, and distort all living beings was sealed.
However, throughout history, all the powerful demons who ventured into the Sea of Evil Souls have never returned, adding to the mystery surrounding this ancient place.
The Sunset Demon Emperor pondered for a moment and said:
"The seal there is extremely powerful. I alone cannot break it. I am willing but unable to do so... Even if you all come along, it will be of no use."
"In the legends of my race, it took six Nine Palaces Sovereigns and three Supreme Dao Lords of the human race to barely seal the Evil Soul Sea. The seal they laid down together is something I cannot shake. If you all advance to the Nine Palaces in the next two hundred years, there will still be some hope."
"Moreover, this matter is extremely dangerous. Once the source of the epidemic is released, you and I will be the first to be affected, and whether we can survive is another matter."
The Sunset Demon King showed obvious resistance. It knew very well that it was not capable of handling this crisis, nor could it control the root disease. If the seal on the Evil Soul Sea were truly broken, the consequences would be endless.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dark Blade King's lips curled into a wicked and eerie smile, and it bowed respectfully, saying:
"Your Majesty, you are unaware of the following..."
"My fiefdom is only 60,000 li away from the Evil Soul Sea."
"The scouts stationed at the border recently reported to me that something strange has happened in the Sea of Evil Souls. The vengeful spirits and ghosts roaming the seabed are becoming increasingly agitated, howling incessantly every night. It seems there might be something amiss..."
"Perhaps the seal has loosened? Even if we don't lend a hand, it's only a matter of time before the source of the plague escapes."
Upon hearing this, even the Sunset Demon Emperor could no longer remain seated. He looked directly at the Dark Blade King and asked, moved:
"When did this happen?!"
“A week ago, after that meeting at the Void Sword Sect.”
The Dark Blade King reported the truth. At the time, it hadn't thought that far ahead; it was simply the vengeful spirits of the seabed causing trouble.
Afterwards, he didn't take it seriously and didn't mention it to the Sunset Demon Emperor, to avoid it being a false alarm and making a fool of himself.
It wasn't until today, when its clone was destroyed and the royal court was in dire straits, that it casually mentioned this while pondering countermeasures.
"Is that so... The Evil Soul Sea... should also be checked out."
"If there is any turmoil, my demon race will also be in danger of annihilation."
"Fine, I'll send another clone to investigate."
"Taotie, Tongtian, Tuntian, Anren, you will come with me. The rest of the kings, stay and guard your fiefdoms."
After weighing the pros and cons for a few moments, the Sunset Demon Emperor made his decision.
It was not at ease letting its kings venture into the Evil Soul Sea, so it sent its only remaining avatar to lead the exploration, ensuring its safety should any danger arise.
"Yes! We obey!" the four kings who were called upon replied in unison.
Chapter 570 The Reasons for the Difficulty in Starting a War
"Your Majesty, I have another matter to report."
At this moment, the Crimson Centipede King stepped forward, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
"Speak." The Sunset Demon Emperor looked over in that direction.
“An old friend from the Daye Dynasty once told me privately that Ye You and the Imperial Preceptor were planning to use the ‘Other Shore Chaos Flower’ to deal with Your Majesty, and release it into the Heavenly Abyss to exterminate all living beings, including Xuanzun.”
