"Ice Phoenix Emperor, have you gone mad?" The young woman looked at the Ice Phoenix Emperor, her excited expression turning into anger.

"Qingluan, the Dragon Clan has been destroyed, and the Source Heart is not in the core area, so everything you have done is meaningless," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said to the young woman.

"The Dragon Clan has been wiped out?" Emperor Qingluan was stunned when he heard Emperor Binghuang's words.

“That’s right, I’ve been to the Dragon Realm, and there are no more dragons there,” said the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

"Truly, Heaven has eyes! Back then, my Phoenix Clan suffered a crushing defeat, and only a few dozen phoenixes remained of the once mighty clan. The Dragon Clan was wiped out. This is wonderful, truly wonderful!" Upon hearing the Ice Phoenix Emperor's affirmative answer, the Azure Phoenix Emperor exclaimed excitedly, his entire body trembling slightly.

The other phoenixes also became excited at this moment.

Looking at the Azure Phoenix Emperor and the other phoenixes, the Ice Phoenix Emperor shook his head. The remaining phoenixes had lived on with hatred for the dragon race until now, and in recent years their minds had been clouded by hatred.

Now that they know the dragons have been destroyed, their hatred can be relieved considerably.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, now that the Dragon Clan no longer exists and the Heavenly Court has not yet opened, we should fight our way out, subdue other races, and become the number one race in this world," the Azure Phoenix Emperor suddenly said.

"Foolish!" Upon hearing the words of the Azure Phoenix Emperor, the Ice Phoenix Emperor immediately rebuked, "The fact that the Phoenix Clan can survive is already a great favor. Do you really want the Phoenix Clan to be wiped out?"

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, if you hadn't stood by and watched, how could we have lost? It was because of your inaction that the Ice Phoenix Clan was destroyed. You are not worthy of being a member of the Phoenix Clan at all." Upon hearing the Ice Phoenix Emperor's rebuke, Qingluan immediately retorted, "You are a sinner of my Phoenix Clan."

boom…………

The moment the Azure Phoenix Emperor finished speaking, the Ice Phoenix Emperor attacked it instantly, striking it in the chest with a palm strike. It staggered back several steps, spitting out blood.

"If they hadn't been so headstrong back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Whether I'm worthy to be the Ice Phoenix Emperor is not for you to decide." The Ice Phoenix Emperor's expression was icy, and the entire domain was filled with a chilling aura, causing all the phoenixes to tremble.

"I command you not to set foot in the human realm even a step. If anyone disobeys, do not blame me for being ruthless," said the Ice Phoenix Emperor.

At this moment, the Azure Phoenix Emperor glared angrily at the Ice Phoenix Emperor, but it dared not take a step forward. It was no match for him in strength, so what could it do?

"Water Qilin clan, get out of Phoenix Source Gate." At this moment, the Ice Phoenix Emperor looked at Shui Mo, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Alright, my Water Kirin clan will immediately withdraw from Phoenix Origin Gate.” Shui Mo said immediately, and the next second it led the Water Kirin clan away.

Gu Yu didn't leave. He looked at the Ice Phoenix Emperor with burning anger in his eyes.

"You get out of here too," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said as he saw Gu Yu standing to the side.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, give me back Ling'er!" Gu Yu brandished his sword in an instant and charged towards the Ice Phoenix Emperor once again.

"Filthy thing." The Ice Phoenix Emperor waved his hand instantly, and Gu Yu was sent flying again, this time severely injured.

"If I hadn't promised her I wouldn't kill you, you would already be dead," the Ice Phoenix Emperor said, looking at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu looked at the Ice Phoenix Emperor. His first attack was reckless, but his second attack was not. He wanted to test whether the Ice Phoenix Emperor still had any memories of Xu Ling'er, even just a trace, because Xu Ling'er would not harm him.

The reason was that the first time he appeared to be seriously injured, it was actually not that serious, which made him suspicious.

But the second time, he realized he was wrong. The Ice Phoenix Emperor in front of him was going to kill him. This attack had already severely injured him. If the Ice Phoenix Emperor had put in just a little more force, he would have died.

"Cough cough..." Gu Yu looked at the Ice Phoenix Emperor, and the next second, the three-headed Mandora appeared and instantly took Gu Yu away from the Phoenix Source Gate.

After leaving Phoenix Source Gate, Gu Yu could no longer hold on and fainted.

Physical wounds can heal with rest, but psychological wounds are difficult to heal even after ten or a hundred years.

At this moment, Shuimo saw Gu Yu and flew to Gu Yu's side, wanting to check on Gu Yu's injuries, but the three-headed Mandora wouldn't let it get close.

“I’m here to help him,” Shui Mo said, looking at Fat Mandora.

“Roar…” The three-headed Mandora roared at Shui Mo, determined not to allow anyone to approach Gu Yu.

"Hmph!" Shui Mo snorted coldly as she looked at the three-headed Mandora, then led Gu Yu straight towards Mo City.

Back in Mo City, the three-headed Mandora brought Gu Yu to the central villa district. Everyone was shocked to see that Gu Yu was injured.

You must understand that at this moment, in the eyes of the world, Gu Yu is the backbone. If something were to happen to Gu Yu, it would cause many people to lose faith.

"He's alright, just badly injured," Bai Long said, looking at the worried crowd. "With his incredible regenerative abilities, he'll be fully recovered in less than ten days, so don't worry."

"That's good." Hearing Bai Long's words, everyone was relieved.

"Wife, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds recently, and I've already reached the level of a demigod. I feel that even that old bastard Mo Shougui is no match for me." Hearing Bai Long say that Gu Yu was alright, Long Aotian suddenly stood up and said to Bai Long.

"Who's your wife?" Bai Long glared at Long Aotian, which made Long Aotian jump in surprise.

Ten days later, Gu Yu had indeed fully recovered without any damage.

However, at this time, the North China Plain had undergone earth-shattering changes. Raging demonic energy was spreading continuously, accompanied by sounds like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard even in central China, and the overwhelming demonic energy was almost reaching Mo City, causing unease among everyone in the entire country.

Gu Yu, now recovered, looked towards the distance where the overwhelming demonic energy was emanating, and frowned.

Such demonic energy and such a display are far more terrifying than those of the Qilin Source Sect and the Phoenix Source Sect.

At this time, the Water Kirin clan also arrived in Mo City. Shui Mo was also somewhat frightened when she saw the overwhelming demonic energy.

"What race?" Gu Yu asked Shui Mo.

"The Heavenly Demon Clan," Shui Mo replied.

"The Heavenly Demon Clan?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard Shui Mo's answer.

The Dragon Realm was once the strongest, followed by the Heavenly Court and then the Underworld. However, there was another Source Gate that was no less powerful than the Heavenly Court: the Heavenly Demon. It was only because of its existence that it was not tolerated by other races and was not ranked higher.

The Dragon Realm, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld have been working together to suppress the Heavenly Demon Clan, but despite this, they still cannot defeat them.

The portal that opened in the Northern Plains of Youdu was actually the Origin Gate where the Heavenly Demon Clan resided.

You must know that the Heavenly Demon Clan loves killing the most. Now that the Dragon Realm is gone, the Heavenly Court is closed, and the Underworld is closed, who in this world can stand against the Heavenly Demon Clan?

This is a disaster, a truly catastrophic one.

At this moment, Gu Yu thought of the Demon Ancestor's ancestral decree, but the Demon Ancestor's ancestral decree could only control beings below the Heavenly King level; it had no effect on beings above the Heavenly King level.

The Qilin Origin Sect has an Emperor, the Phoenix Origin Sect has one too, so how could the even more powerful Heavenly Demon Clan not have one?

"The most urgent task is to take advantage of the fact that the Source Gate has not yet opened, and unite all the forces in this world to resist the Heavenly Demon Clan. Perhaps we can gain a glimmer of hope," Shui Mo said at this moment.

The total number of Source Gates opened on Earth today is quite large, 107 in total, which makes 108 including Earth. Even if we don't have 80, there are at least 70 that have been opened so far.

If the power of all the Source Gates were combined, there might be a chance to contend with the Heavenly Demon Clan.

"Are you confident you can unite all the Source Gates?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Shui Mo.

“They have no choice but to unite. The Heavenly Demon Clan is inherently bloodthirsty. Without any counterforce, they will not only destroy Earth, but also the other races of the Origin Gate. There’s no need to even think about it,” Shui Mo said.

“Then go and unite with them,” Gu Yu said, looking at Shui Mo.

"Go back and gather the Water Kirin clan. Have them travel throughout China and unite with the forces of other Origin Gate worlds," Shui Mo commanded a Heavenly King behind him.

Time passed by, and several days went by in the blink of an eye. Many powerful individuals from various races had already gathered in North China.

To Gu Yu's astonishment, there were actually a hundred True Gods, dozens of Divine Lords, and more than a dozen Heavenly Kings, but not a single Great Emperor.

This made Gu Yu marvel at how many beings at the Divine Realm already existed among the currently opened Source Gates.

They had been waiting for an opportunity, but instead of an opportunity, the Heavenly Demon Clan was about to appear, forcing them to unite and resist the Heavenly Demon Clan.

At this moment, Shui Mo stood in front, radiating blue energy that resisted the overwhelming demonic aura.

At this moment, Gu Yu had already quietly activated the Qiankun God-Slaying Array. Facing the Heavenly Demon Clan, he dared not be careless.

Mo City is located in North China, and with the opening of the Heavenly Demon Source Gate, it was practically the first place to be affected.

At this moment, an ice phoenix and a blue luan suddenly appeared, instantly appearing beside Shui Mo. Their gazes were also fixed on the distant light spot radiating overwhelming demonic energy.

Gu Yu watched the Ice Phoenix Emperor's retreating figure without saying anything, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Ice Phoenix Emperor, Azure Phoenix Emperor, with your arrival, our chances of victory will be much greater," Shui Mo said upon seeing the two arrive.

Even with the gathering of numerous powerful individuals from various source sect races, Shui Mo knew very well that it was still not enough to face the Heavenly Demon Clan.

To Shuimo's embarrassment, neither the Ice Phoenix Emperor nor the Azure Phoenix Emperor paid any attention to it.

Although there was displeasure in its eyes, what could it do at this moment?

At this moment, countless powerful figures from various races were trembling with fear and trepidation as they faced the imminent opening of the Heavenly Demon Source Gate.

boom…………

Just as they were waiting, the light suddenly expanded, and the speed of expansion increased countless times, and a dark passage appeared instantly.

As the passage appeared, an overwhelming pressure swept out. Shui Mo, the Ice Phoenix Emperor, and the Azure Phoenix Emperor, who were standing in front, simultaneously released their power to resist this pressure.

"World, tremble! My Heavenly Demon Clan has returned!" A booming voice resounded, and the terrifying power caused the three Great Emperors blocking their way to change their expressions abruptly.

"Peak of the Great Emperor?" Shui Mo and Qing Luan Great Emperor's expressions changed, and Bing Huang Great Emperor's brows furrowed as well.

It should be noted that there were not many beings at the peak of the Great Emperor realm in the past, but the Heavenly Demon Clan did not have any beings at the peak of the Great Emperor realm.

"Could it be that monkey?" The Ice Phoenix Emperor suddenly realized something.

"A monkey?" Emperor Qingluan and Shuimo looked at Emperor Binghuang.

"Are you talking about Wuzhiqi?" Shuimo frowned and asked.

“Besides it, I can’t think of anyone else.” The Ice Phoenix Emperor said, “In the past, its talent was unmatched even by the Heavenly Emperor and the Azure Dragon God Emperor. In just a hundred years, it reached the peak of the Heavenly King realm. In fact, the ancestors said it had the potential to reach the Ancestral Realm. Now that so much time has passed, only it in the Heavenly Demon Clan can have such cultivation.”

“Wu Zhiqi?” Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the name.

The next second, a figure slowly emerged, "I, Wuzhiqi, have finally waited for this day. The Heavenly Court has not yet opened, hmm! The Dragon Clan has also been destroyed, hahaha... I will slaughter you lackeys."

With its laughter, a huge horde of dark demons appeared behind it, including three Great Emperors, more than ten Heavenly Kings, and countless Divine Lords and True Gods. With such a lineup, even if the Dragon Clan were not destroyed, they probably would not be able to suppress the Heavenly Demon Clan.

"How could this be?" Upon seeing the lineup of the Heavenly Demon Clan, the expressions of all the races froze.

“Wu Zhiqi, although your Heavenly Demon Clan is powerful, you cannot harm the world,” Shui Mo said to Wu Zhiqi.

"What are you?" Wuzhiqi looked at Shuimo, and the next second a bow appeared in its hand. The power emanating from the bow made all the races' expressions change drastically.

"The Emperor-Slaying Bow, this is something I specially crafted for the Heavenly Emperor. Today, I'll use you to test its power." As Wuzhiqi spoke, the Emperor-Slaying Bow in his hand suddenly emanated a terrifying power.

Wu Zhiqi reached out and grabbed the bowstring, and instantly countless energies converged towards the bowstring. In a flash, a sharp arrow appeared and locked onto Shui Mo.

The powerful suppression made its face turn extremely ugly. The Ice Phoenix Emperor and the Azure Phoenix Emperor also changed their expressions drastically. Although they were not the targets, they were also suppressed because they were too close to Shui Mo.

"An ancestral artifact?" the Ice Phoenix Emperor murmured.

Swoosh...

The next second, the arrow shot out, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack wherever it passed, shattering the space.

Shuimo immediately clasped its hands together, and a terrifying power emanated from its body, transforming into a huge energy shield that blocked its path.

Pfft...

With a crisp sound, the arrow pierced through the protective shield and hurtled straight towards the ink painting. Boom!

Shuimo was immediately sent flying backward, the arrow piercing its chest. As it flew backward, it spat out a mouthful of blood, and its aura immediately weakened.

Seeing this, all the powerful figures were stunned. Shui Mo was an emperor! With just one arrow, although it did not take the emperor's life, it severely injured him. This was terrifying.

They suddenly regretted coming here.

"You do have some skill, but I only used seventy percent of my power." Wuzhiqi was somewhat dissatisfied with the power of the arrow.

Then it drew its bow again, its gaze mockingly fixed on the powerful figures. The expressions of the powerful figures changed drastically, fearing that Wuzhiqi's arrow would be shot at them.

The capital city was severely damaged; if they were to be targeted by arrows, they would undoubtedly die.

“Demon Emperor, my Golden Lion Clan was forced by them, and I am willing to submit,” a Heavenly King suddenly said.

“Hehe…” Wuzhiqi looked at it and smiled. The next second, a pitch-black domain instantly expanded out, enveloping all the powerful figures. “Do you know what I hate the most? I hate treacherous fellows like you. Today, because you are no match for my Heavenly Demon Clan, you can defect. In the future, because my Heavenly Demon Clan is no match for you, you will defect to my Heavenly Demon Clan’s enemy. Perfect.”

As soon as Wuzhiqi finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot out. Before the Golden Lion King could react, it pierced through his body and he fell to the ground, dying instantly.

This terrified many powerful figures. When Wuzhiqi pointed his arrow at them, they had the same thoughts as the Golden Lion King. They never expected that even if they submitted, they would still die.

"Haha..." Wuzhiqi laughed, and then another sharp arrow condensed and pointed at the powerful figures.

"You're wasting your time. My Heavenly Demon Clan doesn't need your submission. Today you will all die, and I will visit each of your races and kill them all, so that when the Heavenly Court opens, you won't join them in fighting against my Heavenly Demon Clan," Wuzhiqi said coldly.

Wu Zhiqi's words made the expressions of the powerful figures even more grim. The Heavenly Demon Clan's reputation for savagery was indeed well-deserved; it not only wanted to kill them, but also to exterminate their entire race. This…

At this moment, they suddenly felt a little envious of those source gates that had not yet been opened, because they had escaped a calamity because they had not been opened.

"We're going to die anyway, so let's fight the Heavenly Demon Clan. Maybe we can find a way to survive," a Heavenly King said at that moment.

"That's right, let's fight the Heavenly Demon Clan!" Immediately, all the powerful figures released their auras, preparing for a major battle.

The Demon Emperor, Demon King, and Demon Lord behind Wuzhiqi immediately prepared to make their move.

“I don’t need you. I can wipe them all out myself,” Wuzhiqi said.

The bow in its hand suddenly grew larger, and in an instant, power gathered, and countless sharp arrows appeared on the bow.

Instantly, the powerful figures felt themselves being locked onto, which made their faces turn extremely grim. The great bow in front of Wuzhiqi was like the Grim Reaper; one shot from it would be enough to kill eighty percent of them.

"All gods are equal." The next second, Wuzhiqi finished charging up and prepared to shoot out countless sharp arrows.

"Wuzhiqi, do you still remember the Snow Maiden?" At this critical moment, a voice suddenly rang out, causing Wuzhiqi, who was about to shoot out countless arrows, to pause.

"………………………"

Ice and snow solidify into a jade-like body, hidden deep within the icy mountains, where immortal dust resides.

My thoughts of you are endless, I think of you day and night, and dream of you countless times tonight and last night.

My heart aches for your return, and my tears melt in the snow to convey my true feelings.

My unwavering love, a promise made a thousand years ago, awaits your return to spend spring with you.

………………………………

Gu Yu did not answer Wu Zhiqi's question, but instead recited the poem that the Snow Maiden had sung.
