"Who are you?" Wu Zhiqi's gaze suddenly turned to Gu Yu among the powerful figures.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is whether you still remember that the Snow Maiden is waiting for you?" Gu Yu slowly walked out from among the powerful figures. When they were powerless to resist him, he stepped forward. Although his body was not particularly upright, he looked at Wu Zhiqi, this heartless man, without any fear.
"Who exactly are you?" Wu Zhiqi looked at Gu Yu and asked again, "My patience is limited."
"Wuzhiqi, the Snow Maiden has been waiting for you for a long time. Don't you have her in your heart? Didn't you say that you would bring her out after you became the Great Emperor? What? Have you forgotten?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Wuzhiqi.
"The Snow Woman," Wuzhiqi murmured, "She...she's still waiting for me?"
“That’s right, she’s been waiting for you. She’s been waiting for you for a long time,” Gu Yu said.
"I'll kill them all before I go find her." Wuzhiqi suddenly pondered for a moment, then prepared to shoot its arrow again. However, the arrow, which had been locked onto Gu Yu, suddenly moved away from him. Clearly, the "they" it was referring to no longer included Gu Yu.
“Wu Zhiqi, the Snow Maiden does not want you to kill people, nor does she want you to indiscriminately kill innocent people,” Gu Yu said, looking at Wu Zhiqi.
"Hmph! Nonsense." Wu Zhiqi snorted coldly upon hearing Gu Yu's words. "I don't know how you know about the Snow Maiden, but the Snow Maiden would definitely not want me to kill anyone."
Just as Wuzhiqi's arrow was about to be released, Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, and a large black command token suddenly appeared in its hand.
"Wuzhiqi, do you recognize what this is?" As the ancestral token flew out, Wuzhiqi was stunned, as were the group of Heavenly Demons behind it.
Buzz...
The next second, a powerful pressure was released from the ancestral decree, and the Heavenly Demon Clan behind Wuzhiqi immediately knelt down before Gu Yu, including the three Great Emperors.
"Greetings, Demon Ancestor."
"The Demon Ancestor's Token? How do you have the Demon Ancestor's Token?" Wu Zhiqi asked in confusion as he looked at the token in Gu Yu's hand.
"Wu Zhiqi, seeing the Demon Ancestor's decree is as if you were seeing the Demon Ancestor himself. Why don't you kneel?" Gu Yu looked at the kneeling Demon Emperors, Demon Kings, Divine Lords, and True Gods, and a hint of joy appeared in his heart.
Although the Ancestral Decree cannot suppress the Heavenly Kings and demons above the Heavenly King level, it seems that these guys obey the Ancestral Decree.
"Answer me, how did you obtain the Demon Ancestor's Token?" Wuzhiqi did not kneel, but continued to ask.
"It was given to me personally by the Demon Ancestor. He instructed me to lead the Heavenly Demon Clan," Gu Yu fabricated.
“This is impossible. Why would the Demon Ancestor give you the Ancestral Token?” Wuzhiqi said with some doubt.
“Because I am the successor of the Demon Ancestor,” Gu Yu said.
At this moment, all the powerful figures were looking at Gu Yu, as they had not expected that Gu Yu would have the Demon Ancestor's Token in his possession.
“Because I am the descendant of the Demon Ancestor, and I am also…” Gu Yu said, and the divine and demonic power on his body was released.
Sensing the divine and demonic power emanating from him shocked everyone even more than seeing the Demon Ancestor's Decree.
"Gods and demons? You are gods and demons?" Wu Zhiqi looked at Gu Yu with some fear as well.
“That’s right, so the Demon Ancestor accepted me as his disciple and passed on his ancestral decree, ordering me to lead the Heavenly Demon Clan,” Gu Yu said.
"You're asking me to lead the Heavenly Demon Clan?" Wuzhiqi frowned as it looked at Gu Yu. Clearly, Wuzhiqi didn't quite believe Gu Yu's words. However, if it attacked Gu Yu, the other Heavenly Demon Clan members would probably object, and then it would be unable to lead the Heavenly Demon Clan.
"Wu Zhiqi, aren't you going to kneel down?" Gu Yu said coldly to Wu Zhiqi.
"I, Wuzhiqi, will not kneel even if the Demon Ancestor himself were to come," Wuzhiqi said.
"Are you disobeying my orders, or the Demon Ancestor's orders?" Gu Yu looked at Wu Zhiqi. He also did not believe Wu Zhiqi's words. If the Demon Ancestor came, would Wu Zhiqi really not kneel?
“My lord, the Demon Monkey Emperor is not lying. It is true that it does not need to kneel before the Demon Ancestor,” said one of the Demon Emperors behind Wuzhiqi.
Judging from this situation, Gu Yu didn't know that Wuzhiqi didn't need to kneel before the Demon Ancestor. If the stalemate continued, it wouldn't be good for Gu Yu to let them attack Wuzhiqi later, because while they were willing to respect the ancestral command, they were also afraid of Wuzhiqi.
Who wouldn't fear the Emperor-Slaying Bow? Anyone below the peak of the Great Emperor realm would be severely injured by a single arrow.
“Alright!” Upon hearing the Demon Emperor’s words, Gu Yu nodded, then turned his gaze back to Wu Zhiqi. “I order you to retrieve the Emperor-Slaying Bow and lead the Heavenly Demon Clan back to the Heavenly Demon Realm.”
Wuzhiqi looked at Gu Yu, its pupils contracted, and then it slowly retracted the Emperor-Slaying Bow.
Without the oppressive power of the Emperor-Slaying Bow, the powerful figures breathed a sigh of relief.
“Release your domain and let them leave,” Gu Yu said, looking at Wu Zhiqi.
Within the realm of Wuzhiqi, none of the powerful can escape.
“Tell me where the Demon Ancestor is, and I will withdraw my domain,” Wuzhiqi suddenly said at this moment.
“I will tell you where the Demon Ancestor is. You can release them first,” Gu Yu said.
"Tell me first," Wu Zhiqi said forcefully.
"In the Kunlun Source Gate." Gu Yu replied to the resolute Wu Zhiqi. It wouldn't matter if he told Wu Zhiqi about the Demon Ancestor's whereabouts. Wu Zhiqi couldn't go there anyway. If he forced his way in, he would surely die, let alone rescue the Demon Ancestor.
"Kunlun Source Gate? Dragon Realm?" Wuzhiqi frowned.
“That’s right,” Gu Yu said. “Now we can remove the domain and let them leave, right?”
Wu Zhiqi hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his domain. In an instant, all the powerful figures fled in panic.
“If you let them go, they won’t be grateful to you. They might even turn against you one day.” Wu Zhiqi said to Gu Yu suddenly, “I know them too well. They are like duckweed, swaying in the wind, whichever way the wind blows.”
"Can we withdraw to the Heavenly Demon Source Sect now?" Gu Yu asked, holding the Ancestral Token.
“Hehe…” Wuzhiqi chuckled, then waved his hand, and the Heavenly Demon Clan immediately headed towards the Heavenly Demon Source Gate, leaving only Gu Yu and Wuzhiqi in the vast arena.
"How do you know about the Snow Woman?" Wuzhiqi asked Gu Yu.
“Because I’ve seen her before,” Gu Yu replied.
"Is she alright?" Wu Zhiqi asked.
"It's alright, but she's been waiting for you the whole time. As for her mood, she must have been feeling depressed the whole time," Gu Yu replied.
"She's still so naive. I was just saying it offhand! And she actually took it seriously," Wu Zhiqi murmured.
"Aren't you going to see her?" Gu Yu frowned when he heard Wu Zhiqi's murmur.
“See her? Heh…” Wu Zhiqi chuckled. “What’s the use of seeing her? Women will only become stumbling blocks on my path to becoming a strong person.”
"Uh!" Upon hearing Wu Zhiqi's words, Gu Yu realized that he had indeed guessed correctly. This was indeed a heartless man, and the poor Xue Nu was heartbroken.
"How can personal feelings be more important than conquering the world?" Wu Zhiqi said to Gu Yu, uttering a cryptic remark.
“Dominating the world is important, but what’s the point when you stand at the highest peak and find yourself all alone?” Gu Yu said.
“You are still too young. The path of the strong is destined to be lonely,” Wu Zhiqi said.
Gu Yu didn't say anything after hearing Wu Zhiqi's words.
"Hehe..." Wuzhiqi looked at Gu Yu and suddenly laughed, "Do you think you can really make me compromise by taking out the Ancestral Decree? I let them go so that you can see how they will treat you in the future, and also so that you can understand that feelings are useless. No one in this world will remember kindness. From now on, in their eyes you are the young master of the Heavenly Demon Clan, the successor of the Demon Ancestor, a little devil, their enemy. They will never be grateful to you, and will even do everything in their power to kill you."
“That’s between me and them,” Gu Yu said coldly upon hearing Wu Zhiqi’s words. In his mind, Wu Zhiqi was simply trying to sow discord.
"Heh..." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Wuzhiqi chuckled mockingly, then asked again, "Answer me, is the Demon Ancestor alive or dead?"
"The Demon Ancestor is still alive," Gu Yu answered truthfully.
"Then why doesn't it come out?" Wuzhiqi looked into Gu Yu's eyes. It would immediately detect if Gu Yu was lying.
"Because it can't get out," Gu Yu said.
"Can't get out?" Wu Zhiqi frowned.
"It is trapped by the power of gods and demons and cannot get out at all."
"Trapped by the power of gods and demons?"
“It must have been trapped by dryness,” Gu Yu said.
"Could it be that even the Ancestral Realm has been controlled by Gan?" Wuzhiqi murmured, then its gaze turned to Gu Yu again, "Tell me, why do you possess divine and demonic power?"
"You must have heard that Gan has an apprentice, right?"
"Hmm! I've heard a little about it."
"I am a descendant of his disciple, therefore I possess divine and demonic power," Gu Yu said, now that this explanation was the most perfect.
“Tell me the exact location of the Demon Ancestor, and I’ll go take a look,” Wuzhiqi suddenly said, clearly believing that Gu Yu was a descendant of his adopted disciple.
"The deepest part of the Dragon Realm," Gu Yu replied, looking at Wu Zhiqi. "You can go and take a look."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wuzhiqi disappeared. However, what Gu Yu didn't know was that Wuzhiqi didn't go directly to Kunlun Yuanmen, but instead entered the Wolf Realm first.
At this moment, in the far north, in the Tianhan Mountains, the Snow Maiden is still waiting for Wuzhiqi's return.
Wuzhiqi hid in a corner, looking at the Snow Woman with a hint of tenderness in its eyes.
"Wait for me, wait for me to become the strongest in the world, and I will come back to get you." Wu Zhiqi murmured, "As long as I obtain the Creation Vein of the Demon Ancestor, I can reach the Ancestral Realm. Now that it is trapped, it is my opportunity. I'm sorry.
After Wuzhiqi finished speaking, he disappeared instantly. The waiting Snow Woman suddenly sensed something. She looked at the place where Wuzhiqi had just disappeared and frowned.
"Going to Kunlun is fine. If we are killed by the power of gods and demons, it is the best outcome for us to live." Gu Yu murmured as he watched Wuzhiqi disappear. "However, I need to be prepared. Can the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation stop Wuzhiqi? No, I need to go find Xue Nu. Wuzhiqi will most likely not enter the area covered by the power of gods and demons. If it returns, it will probably cause a bloodbath. Only Xue Nu might be able to stop it."
Gu Yu murmured to himself, then first entered the Heavenly Demon Source Gate, and relying on the Ancestral Decree, issued another order forbidding the invasion of the human race, before heading straight for the Heavenly Cold Mountains of the Wolf Realm.
"It's you?" The Snow Maiden frowned when she saw Gu Yu's arrival. She hadn't expected that Gu Yu would have already possessed the combat power of a Heavenly King in such a short time. This was terrifying, even more terrifying than Wu Zhiqi.
Did you save your loved one?
"No, I failed. My lover has been possessed." Gu Yu answered the Snow Maiden's question first.
"Possessed?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's answer, the Snow Maiden was stunned. "This world is truly laughable; it's destined that lovers cannot be together in the end."
“No! You can do it.” Gu Yu said, looking at the Snow Woman. “I encountered Wuzhiqi.”
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Snow Maiden immediately became agitated.
"The Heavenly Demon Source Gate has opened, and Wuzhiqi is now its controller," Gu Yu replied.
"Didn't you tell it that I was waiting for it?" the Snow Maiden asked, looking at Gu Yu.
“I told it,” Gu Yu said, “but it didn’t come looking for you.”
Although it was somewhat cruel, Gu Yu still chose to tell the Snow Woman the truth.
“It’s it, it must be it.” The Snow Woman suddenly remembered the fluctuations she had sensed earlier and said.
"Hmm?" Gu Yu frowned. Had Wu Zhiqi been here?
“Snow Woman, I think you should go out and find it instead of waiting here. Besides, it wants to slaughter the world, and only you can stop it,” Gu Yu said, looking at the Snow Woman.
"Since it's here, why doesn't it come out to see me? Is it really lying to me?" the Snow Woman murmured.
“That’s why you need to go out even more,” Gu Yu said.
"Go out," the snow woman murmured. "Perhaps I really should go out and take a look."
"Yes!" Gu Yu nodded immediately upon hearing the Snow Woman's words.
"Let's go," the Snow Woman said, looking at Gu Yu. "Take me to find it."
"Okay." Gu Yu said, and he and Xue Nu immediately left the Wolf Realm.
"So this is the outside world. It's beautiful, but it never showed it to me." Upon arriving on Earth, the Snow Woman murmured as she gazed at the scenery.
At this moment, its eyes were filled with sorrow and despair.
"Snow Maiden, I think you should stay here at the Heavenly Demon Source Gate. Wuzhiqi will come back sooner or later," Gu Yu said, looking at Snow Maiden.
"Alright." The Snow Maiden nodded upon hearing Gu Yu's words.
Just as Wuzhiqi entered the Kunlun Source Gate, a figure emerged from within.
"Earth belongs to me, Ma Li." Ma Li said excitedly, holding Lu Yao in his arms.
"Be careful. I sensed the aura of many Great Emperors, and the Heavenly Demon Source Gate has also opened. If I hadn't concealed your aura in time, that monkey would have discovered you," the Demon Dragon Emperor warned.
"Huh? How could this be?" Ma Li was stunned. He was already at the peak of the Heavenly King realm. He thought that after returning, he could dominate the world. However, the Demon Dragon Emperor told him that there were many auras of emperors, which he found hard to accept.
"What's so surprising about that? With the opening of the Source Gate, it's not an exaggeration to say that some Great Emperors have been born over countless years," said the Demon Dragon Emperor. "The most urgent task is to kill that Gu Yu, obtain the fragments within him, and make you even stronger."
"Then I'll go find Gu Yu." As she spoke, she suddenly moved.
At this moment, Gu Yu returned to Mo City, his body radiating a brilliant light, and the Source Cone behind him was slowly forming the tenth cone.
A powerful aura emanated from him. So much had happened recently that he felt a great sense of crisis. If he didn't improve his cultivation, he would no longer be a threat.
As the aura of royalty spread, the tenth cone rapidly condensed.
The next second, Gu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and an overwhelming power swept out from his body.
Contribution:……………… (Continuously increasing, exact figure unknown)
Talent: 108
Combat power: 1600 dragon
Triple boost: (Contribution points once, lasting three minutes)
High-grade Originium: (One piece for every 10,000 contribution points)
Source space: 10 million cubic meters (reaching its limit, capable of holding living beings).
Source Soldier: (One contributor, maximum 10)
Gu Yu opened the data template. His combat power had not increased much. However, if he wanted to awaken his divine and demonic bloodline for the sixth time, he would have to condense the eleventh vertebra.
Given its current condition, it will take a long time for it to condense into eleven vertebrae.
"Sigh! Every little breakthrough is a breakthrough, at least we're getting closer," Gu Yu murmured.
At this moment, a terrifying demonic aura suddenly appeared in the sky above Mo City, startling everyone in the city.
"Do not step into it." Just as Ma Li was about to enter the desert city, the Demon Dragon Emperor suddenly warned him.
"Why?" The dragon emperor looked at him in confusion.
"Take a good look around and see what's in this place," the Demon Dragon Emperor said to Ma Li.
“These are just some formations; I can break them with a flick of my wrist. But Gu Yu has actually acquired so many good things during this time.” Ma Li’s gaze fell upon the source stone mines.
"All the formations here are indeed nothing special, but there is one that would be dangerous even for a peak Great Emperor to attack," said the Demon Dragon Emperor.
"Even a peak Emperor can be in danger?" He frowned immediately.
“That’s right, even I am shocked,” said the Demon Dragon Emperor. “So you must never step into it.”
"Gu Yu, come out here! Shouldn't we settle this matter?" Ma Li suddenly shouted into Mo City.
"Ma Li?" Gu Yu's figure suddenly appeared. Looking at Ma Li, who possessed overwhelming demonic power, Gu Yu's brows immediately furrowed. This guy actually had the strength of the peak of the Heavenly King, which shocked him greatly.
This guy claims to be the chosen one of destiny. Could it be true? You should know that if I didn't possess divine and demonic power, I would only be at the Emperor Realm.
"How about that? Aren't you shocked?" Ma Li said smugly when he saw Gu Yu's surprised look.
"I am somewhat shocked," Gu Yu said truthfully, looking at Ma Li.
“Gu Yu, I told you I would kill you. Now surrender, hand over the fragments on your body, kowtow three times, and I will cripple your cultivation. In that case, I may spare your life,” Ma Li said calmly.
