"Qiongqi!"
In the demon city, Feng Bingwen looked up at the window. The ferocious beast that stood on the mountain, roaring through the heavens and earth, and named him was a fierce tiger with wings on its ribs. Its appearance was so fierce that it made people tremble involuntarily.
Feng Bingwen was naturally unafraid of the inherent ferocity of such beasts; he was only surprised by the ferocity and arrogance of this particular beast.
It's important to understand that this is no ordinary place; it is the Ghost Mulberry Demon Kingdom, one of the great demon kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Golden Crow Clan. This group of human prodigies had received permission from the Golden Crow Clan to come here.
According to the established procedure, the Golden Crow Clan should have arranged for the strongest demons to fight them. However, these renowned demons arrived at this place and, without saying a word, engaged in a fierce battle with them, ignoring or rather refusing to obey the Golden Crow Clan's arrangements. The implications of this are quite intriguing and worth pondering.
In the primordial era when heaven and earth were first created, the Golden Crow clan was truly revered by all races. However, now, with the changing of eras and the passing of ages, it seems that even the title of being revered by all demons is no longer entirely fitting for the Golden Crow clan.
Feng Bingwen is the Supreme Dao Child, the first Daoist of the human race traveling abroad. If the Golden Crow arranges the battle, it is natural that his race will send out strong people for the two sides to fight. Other demon races will not have the opportunity to challenge him. It is reasonable for the first human race to fight against the royal family of ten thousand demons.
However, at this moment, a Qiongqi arrived in the Ghost Mulberry Demon Kingdom, roaring across the heavens and earth, and demanding to challenge the Supreme Daoist Child by name. This was not merely arrogance, but also a subtle indication of its ambition.
Among demons, those with noble bloodlines are revered, but even so, there are some exceptionally powerful clans that want to challenge for the position of the King of All Demons.
"But what does it have to do with me?"
Many thoughts flashed through Feng Bingwen's mind. This was an internal division and conflict among demons, and as a human, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
Although the human race, after becoming powerful and establishing itself in the world, also has many internal divisions and conflicts, the current situation is that both sides are equally matched, and neither should laugh at the other.
"A mere Qiongqi dares to challenge the Supreme Daoist Master? How utterly absurd!"
Before Feng Bingwen could speak, he stared at the roaring Qiongqi outside the city, intending to go out and kill the ferocious beast, when he saw a streak of starlight and a young man in white robes who looked refined and not very old standing in the sky, speaking out in rebuke.
Xingxiu Tao, Taoist Li Huaxian
"Who are you?"
"Starry Sky Path, Li Huaxian!"
The young man, whose face still bore a hint of boyish innocence, spoke. As he spoke, streaks of starlight emanated from his body, creating a starry sky behind him. An exceptionally terrifying wave emanated from the starry sky.
He did not belong to the pro-war faction of the human race. The main reason he followed them to the outside of the Nine Provinces was that he had recently been defeated by a half-demon sent by the Golden Crow Clan.
Although that half-demon was exceptionally powerful, most human cultivators wouldn't study these things. They would only care about his crushing defeat as the Dao Child who represented the Starry Constellation Path. His purpose in coming here was to wash away the stain on his reputation, so he had to defeat enough powerful demons and monsters.
The Qiongqi in front of them was an excellent choice. Although it was not yet an adult, it had already condensed a demon core, and its ferocity was overwhelming. Its roar could shake the mountains and the earth, and with a flick of its long tail, it could create a ravine.
Of course, there was another consideration. This Qiongqi had specifically challenged Taishang Daozi by name. Although he was not familiar with that Daozi, he knew what Taishang Dao represented. How could he allow demons and monsters to easily challenge that Daozi? Where would that leave their face? He still had this sense of the bigger picture.
"Starry Constellation Path? Never heard of it. Get out of my way. I have no interest in you. Let the Supreme Daoist Master come out!"
Perched atop a majestic mountain, overlooking the Ghost Mulberry Demon City, Qiongqi rebuked without hesitation, its blood-red eyes, the size of lanterns, revealing disdain and contempt.
"From this day forward, you will remember this, and it will be etched into your heart!"
Li Huaxian's face was cold and indifferent. One moment he was a young man in white robes with a gentle smile and a touch of naivety, and the next moment, boundless starlight emanated from his body, highlighting his majesty and solemnity.
The celestial light of the stars is extinguished by the calamity!
When it moves, it is a deadly attack. Brilliant starlight with deadly intent falls from the sky. The Qiongqi, which had previously been extremely disdainful of this Star Daoist, was terrified and instantly teleported away from that mountain, not daring to confront it head-on.
The moment the majestic mountain he had been standing on came into contact with the starlight, all the rocks and vegetation vanished in an instant, leaving not a trace. The mountain, hundreds of feet high, was reduced to half in a flash, and the remaining cross-section was as smooth as a mirror, which was terrifying.
"roar!"
Qiongqi, which had fled on instinct, came to its senses and was immediately enraged. It let out a roar, spread its wings like celestial blades, and swept across the sky, intending to cut the hateful human in half.
"Oh!"
A starry sky evolved behind this Daoist, making him appear even more extraordinary and divine. Boundless starlight forged his majestic Daoist body. His originally insignificant human form dissipated, and when he reappeared, he was a divine being who could tread on mountains and rivers. Surrounded by stars, he seemed to be a primordial deity born from the Milky Way.
How many humans have come?
Just as Qiongqi was stopped by a Xingxiu Daozi, another ferocious beast appeared. It was a beast covered in bone spurs, and its ferocity was no less than that of Qiongqi and Taotie.
However, as soon as this ferocious beast revealed its desire to challenge the Supreme Daoist, a Daoist immediately stepped forward and blocked the beast.
"I can take action!"
In the city, Feng Bingwen spoke in a low voice, because another great demon had appeared and wanted to challenge him. At this moment, Yi Canglan beside him drew an ancient sword and was about to fight.
"No, Brother Feng, you are the Supreme Dao Child, you cannot act rashly."
The equally renowned Sunset God, who had risen to prominence among the human race, understood what Feng Bingwen represented. After giving Feng Bingwen a serious word of advice, he happily picked up his sword and went out of the city to fight a great demon.
Seeing his friend's overjoyed expression, Feng Bingwen was speechless, and his expression showed a bit of helplessness. After finding the land of demons, he realized that many things were different from what he had imagined. For example, the only one who could truly manage things and restrain the many geniuses was himself, who came from the Supreme Dao.
As the Supreme Daoist, it would be extremely unrealistic for him to want to fight demons and monsters and kill those heinous demons, because the Supreme Dao represents extraordinary significance, and the Daoist disciples and Buddhist disciples who accompany him would not easily let him take action.
However, this is ultimately a land of demons and monsters, and not all of humanity's younger generation has come out. Moreover, every prodigy who can come here is carefully selected.
As more and more demons appeared, the Ghost Mulberry Demon Kingdom was filled with celestial light and soaring demonic energy. The mysterious light emitted by their supernatural powers painted the sky with vibrant colors, making it a truly magnificent sight.
"Tsk, I wonder what that ruler thinks?"
Leaning against a tall building, Feng Bingwen kept a close eye on the battle between the two sides outside the city and also had time to gaze at the Golden Palace suspended high in the sky.
There stood the monarch who ruled the Ghost Mulberry Demon Kingdom. He was a pure-blooded golden crow, whose strength far surpassed that of the many great demons who had shown their presence in this demon kingdom. His strength was comparable to that of a human immortal, but with the advantage of his bloodline, an ordinary human immortal would never be his match.
"Supreme Daoist, there is no one left to help you. Do you dare to come out of the city and fight me!"
Feng Bingwen's leisure time did not last long. As a golden light tore through the sky and an arrogant voice echoed through the city, another challenger appeared.
"The Golden-Winged Roc!"
The crisscrossing golden light is arguably the most prominent racial characteristic, making it extremely easy to identify. Of course, this is on the premise that one can see it. Those with slightly weaker eyesight cannot see the golden light, but can only see the cloud trails it leaves behind as it rapidly passes by.
"This is troublesome!"
Looking at the golden roc, Feng Bingwen felt a little troubled. This ferocious bird, famous throughout the world for its extreme speed, would give anyone a headache if they encountered it, unless they could crush it with an advantage in cultivation level.
Unfortunately, Feng Bingwen had no advantage over this golden-winged roc, and his identity forced him to use the most ruthless methods to suppress this ferocious bird of passion in a very short time.
While he was pondering, Feng Bingwen had already taken a step, preparing to face the golden-winged roc. However, before he could leave the city, he heard an extremely indifferent voice descend from the heavens.
"Step back! You are not qualified to challenge the Supreme Daoist Master!"
Within the golden palace, a majestic and radiant figure emerged, and the moment he appeared, it was as if a new sun had been added to this world.
In fact, this is the most accurate description: a powerful Golden Crow can perfectly replace the Sun Star and play the role of the Great Sun within a certain range.
"Samper!"
Outside the city, a golden-winged roc, which had been moving like a beam of light and galloping through the sky, had stopped. It was as big as a small mountain and stared intently at the figure that had emerged from the golden palace. The figure looked remarkably similar to a human.
His pupils and hair were entirely golden, flowing with a dazzling and blazing light. Boundless divine radiance flowed from his body, forming a great sun wheel behind him, extremely brilliant and difficult to look directly at, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
"On what grounds?"
The Roc was naturally unconvinced. So what if it was a Golden Crow clan, revered by all demons? But it wasn't among those demons.
"I told you, you're not qualified!"
The king, who seemed like a sun god, spoke again, each word distinct and deliberate. The air, fluctuating with his will, began to heat up rapidly, as if it were about to burst into flames.
"What qualifications?"
The roc that had traveled hundreds of millions of miles across continents was naturally beneath his notice. The pure-blooded golden crow before him was a level above him, and he was indeed no match for it. However, he had not come here alone.
"You don't actually think only the Golden Crow Clan can challenge the Supreme Daoist Child, do you? Don't lose to him and become a laughingstock!"
This extraordinary roc showed no politeness whatsoever, displaying no reverence or respect whatsoever for the royal family of demons.
The Golden Crow originated at the beginning of creation, with a history that is ancient enough and a long time of existence. However, throughout its long history, the Golden Crow clan has its share of scandals—as is the case with any group or power with a sufficiently ancient history.
Even the golden crow, which was born from the sun, has been shot down repeatedly throughout history. This is not an isolated case. The tragic incident of the golden crow being killed and its soul disappearing from the world has happened more than once or twice.
Who do you think you are?
King Sangpo of the Ghost Sang Kingdom had reached his limit of patience. He stood high in the sky, his gaze reaching for thousands of miles. In the demon kingdom under his rule, no matter what happened, he could see it all.
This naturally includes the demons who have already sought out human prodigies for one-on-one battles. Each of these great demons has an extraordinary origin, and almost all of them are backed by a powerful clan. Many of them are even people that the Golden Crow clan has to take seriously.
But so what? Strength is not a reason or basis for despising the Golden Crow Clan.
According to the Golden Crow Clan's idea, this battle should be arranged by them. They should determine the time and place for the human race and the demon race to fight and spar, and even the selection of participants should be decided by them.
However, such a thought is now undoubtedly wishful thinking. Those great demons who should have obeyed the orders of their Golden Crow clan have all gone after the human race's prodigies on their own, and many even want to directly challenge the Supreme Daoist.
If a gentleman can tolerate something, what cannot?
In Samper's view, some groups wanted to challenge, or even replace, the status of the demon royal family, and they had become so impatient and undisguised that his well-managed demon kingdom was now in complete chaos due to the meddling of these scoundrels.
"..."
In the city, Feng Bingwen remained silent. He looked at the two figures facing off in the sky, each with an extremely tough attitude. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Did they not care about the consequences?
but,
Feng Bingwen took another step, and the distance between them, seemingly as vast as the ends of the earth, vanished beneath his feet. He appeared directly in front of the golden roc and then spoke.
"Your appearance is quite pleasing to me. I've heard that the Golden-Winged Roc possesses unparalleled speed and could be my mount. Would you be willing to follow me?"
"Humans?"
The Golden-Winged Roc, who was fighting a pure-blooded Golden Crow, was stunned when he saw Feng Bingwen suddenly appear before him. But he reacted in the next instant.

"The Supreme Taoist Master!"
"Hmm, you are qualified to be my mount!"
Feng Bingwen looked the golden roc up and down. He was deeply impressed by this divine bird and also coveted its incredible speed.
"Arrogant! You want to take me as your mount? You'll have to defeat me first!"
The golden roc flew into a rage, and with a flap of its wings, 100,000 golden feathers rose up and rang out, like the chorus of immortal swords.
