Demon Master Kunpeng's attitude was very firm, and he was willing to offend Donghuang Taiyi for it.
"In this calamity, the First Emperor and the Chaos Dragon, two powerful beings who were no less than me but weaker Hunyuan, have already perished one after another. At this rate, there will only be more annihilation in the future!"
"The Chaos Demon Bull... I don't know what Rahu and the others promised, but if it were me, I would absolutely not agree... Not only would I not agree, but I would also withdraw from this alliance! Such a risk is not something a wise person would take!"
Demon Master Kunpeng muttered to himself, whether he was timid or cowardly, as long as he didn't get into trouble, his weak Hunyuan cultivation level was enough to deter anyone from looking down on him. Wherever he went, he would be a distinguished guest, and even the Saint Realm would not despise him.
In fact, there are quite a few powerful individuals in the prehistoric world who share the same mentality as the Demon Master.
Watching the spectacle is fine, but getting involved... I'd rather avoid it like the plague! I'd love to stay as far away as possible!
In the northern region of the Southern Continent, the Chaos Demon Bull marched south, drawn by the energy of the Great Dao, its divine voice deafening!
"Bang." This demonic bull was robust and had already shrunk in size. It was tens of millions of miles long and millions of miles wide. Its pair of horns curved upwards, like a top-tier spiritual treasure, capable of crushing space and time.
Layers of radiance surged from the surface of the demonic bull, unleashing a wild and untamed aura that awed the heavens and the earth.
"Chaos Demon Bull, come on, this battle must come to an end, so let's not drag it out any longer."
Liu Bang's physique was as small as an ant in front of the demon bull, yet his imposing presence was comparable!
"Hiss." Han Xin was serious. Using the tiger tally as a node, he manipulated a vast, ocean-like surge of magical power, which he channeled into Emperor Liu Bang of Han. He also scattered a batch of these powers, killing large numbers of evil demons and monsters.
The demons were terrified and fled in panic, trying to escape this Han territory.
They certainly didn't believe the Chaos Bull would protect them. Besides, they weren't even from the same race!
The so-called southward expedition to conquer Han territory, besides devouring humans, tasting delicacies, absorbing the spiritual light of humanity, and enhancing one's understanding, also involved the bloody sacrificial crafting of artifacts and the collection of magical weapons from human sects.
But if they encounter danger... they'd be absolutely terrified and would wish they could flee back to Beiju Luzhou on the spot!
Simply put, they can only win when things are going well; when they encounter a tough opponent, they're defeated faster than anyone else!
However, the Chaos Demon Bull never intended to completely annihilate the Han Dynasty with this army of demons.
It was merely a test. If they could conquer Han territory and weaken the dragon's power, that would be ideal.
If he miscalculates... it doesn't matter, he is a Chaos Demon God, not the leader of the demon race.
As for the Demonic Sect... even the true leader, Demon Ancestor Rahu, isn't in a hurry, so why should he be flustered?
Furthermore, the Demon Bull did not pass down any lineage, so the death of any demons, big or small, has no effect on him.
The reason I joined this alliance was specifically to pursue the primordial Heavenly Dao and aspire to become a saint!
Whether or not Dao Ancestor Hongjun can be stopped from going further... that's something Luo Hou and the others are considering.
Demon Bull thought to himself, "Why is a weak Mixed Yuan cultivator thinking so much?"
As long as the human race is defeated, the Heavenly Dao will be weakened, allowing Rahu and the others to pull Hongjun down from his supreme position. Then the Heavenly Dao will reappear, allowing them to observe and touch all the Daos up close...
"I only seek to become a saint; I care about nothing else," the Chaos Demon Bull muttered to himself.
Otherwise, he must be out of his mind to risk everything by getting involved.
The Demon Bull, having witnessed the lesson of the Chaos Dragon, still felt lingering fear.
Therefore, this time, he did not act recklessly like the demon dragon and directly attack. Instead, he first subdued the demons and monsters in the north and sent them to attack the Han Dynasty, burning, killing, and looting to test their strength.
Afterwards, with his cunning and superior cultivation, the Demon Bull was confident of victory.
"Moreover, the treasures bestowed by the Demon Ancestor are no longer fragments of chaotic spiritual treasures."
With a surge of divine sense, the demonic bull glanced at the peerless, ferocious spear within his sea of consciousness, remaining remarkably calm.
That broken divine spear was the Demon Ancestor's signature weapon, and its grade was top-notch even among first-class spiritual treasures!
Even if the Demon Bull is only used temporarily, after many tens of thousands of years, the Demon Ancestor will recall it.
But over such a long period of time, the Demon Bull was fully able to observe carefully and experience the mysteries of the Sacred Realm.
Without such temptation, and without the confidence brought by the Divine Spear, even though Emperor Han had not yet broken through to the weak Hunyuan realm and lacked cultivation, the Chaos Demon Bull would never agree to invade the Southern Continent!
"The Divine Spear is extremely powerful, so there are bound to be unexpected events. Relying on this spear, I can retreat without any problem."
The Chaos Demon Bull remained calm and composed, its cold pupils fixed on the Han Emperor who was charging towards it.
"Even with the support of Han soldiers, he is not even an unorthodox saint, so how can he be worthy of being my enemy?"
The demonic bull chuckled and spewed two beams of light from its nostrils, which shattered the heavens and the earth.
"Bang!" Liu Bang straightened up and drew his imperial sword. Its shape was quite different from that of the First Emperor, but it was still powerful with the infusion of human dragon energy. In just a few moments, it parried the attack of the demon bull.
"You've got some skill." The demonic bull looked down from its high position, its horns covered with intricate patterns. Suddenly, they flashed with light, bursting forth with a unique divine intent of the Great Dao, shaking the entire human dragon energy!
"Buzz..." Liu Bang groaned, facing the weak Hunyuan head-on, and realized how terrifying it was, and was injured on the spot.
"Whoosh." Just then, the energy beam controlled by Han Xin once again covered the Han Emperor.
The divine power emanating from the bull's horns was resisted by the energy beam, allowing Liu Bang to catch his breath.
"Damn, that's ferocious." Liu Bang grinned. If Han Xin hadn't gone on the expedition with the army, without this perfect boost, his strength wouldn't have reached the weak mixed realm, and he would have been finished.
"Whoosh!" Immediately, Liu Bang swung his sword, his black hair flying, and began to clash with the power of the Demon Bull.
"How many of my moves can you withstand?" The Chaos Demon Bull looked down, its body covered by a layer of armor that shimmered with purple energy, making its defense even more terrifying.
His ox horns and this suit of armor are both second-class spiritual treasures, which are the foundation of his abilities.
One side attacks, the other defends; their cooperation is seamless. Even when facing a master of the same level, they are not afraid at all. Even if they cannot win, they can still exchange blows and are confident in their ability to protect themselves.
This was without him using the God-Breaking Spear; otherwise, he could have severed the energy beam!
"It seems I have no choice but to use this thing." Liu Bang sighed. With a thought, a bright green leaf appeared in his left hand, rolling with gray currents.
"Hmm? Another spirit leaf from the Chaos Divine Tree?" The Chaos Demon Bull's eyes flickered slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
What is the purpose of the Chaos Tree? It has successively bestowed its spiritual leaves upon the First Emperor and the Han Emperor…
The other parties were also quite taken aback, unable to understand the Chaos Tree's stance.
Didn't it never enter the Great Primordial World? So how come it's everywhere in the changes of the new era?
"Boom..." Then, Liu Bang swung his sword with his right hand. The sword light was sharp and pierced through the sky. Driven by the energy beam, it was enough to fight against the pair of bull horns. Although he was at a disadvantage, he could still fight.
His left hand gripped the spirit leaf tightly; his mind was clear and unaffected by the laws of the demonic bull, and his true self was stable.
Even the surging waves of magical power were helped by the spirit leaves to withstand them for Liu Bang.
Furthermore, Liu Bang was also analyzing the demon bull's weaknesses, ready to strike with the spirit leaf at any moment!
This green leaf has excellent auxiliary effects, but in direct combat, it is only at the level of a second-grade spiritual treasure.
"Roar!!" Finally, the Emperor of Han unleashed his dragon energy, roaring across the heavens and earth, shaking the universe.
The series of attacks made even the usually disdainful Chaos Demon Bull take things seriously.
"As expected, human emperors all have incredible trump cards. If I'm careless, I might also capsize in a ditch." The demon bull murmured, its purple armor glowing, protecting its soul from the damage of the Han Emperor's sword and the human dragon energy, and also denying Liu Bang the opportunity to use the spirit leaf.
"Buzz." The intricate patterns on the bull's horns flashed one by one, piercing through the void.
Finally, the demonic bull opened its mouth and spat out a divine spear, its fierce spear light sweeping across the universe!
"That's... the Divine Spear?!" Liu Bang's pupils contracted as he recognized the spear's true nature.
The Demon Ancestor's name is known throughout the world. In particular, the Demon Ancestor's hostility is clearly evident!
"Broken Divine Spear..." Han Xin's expression also became very solemn.
In fact, without the Divine Spear, the Han army would have been united, with Han Xin in charge and guiding the troops, and with the cooperation of the Han Emperor. Based on the previous situation, they were confident that they could have stopped the Chaos Demon Bull.
But once this gun is unleashed, all estimations will be rendered useless; the extraordinary nature of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure is beyond doubt!
"Lord Huaiyin, what should we do?" The soldiers below were all anxious.
"I have my own methods. You all continue to infuse the magic power according to the plan," Han Xin shouted.
Because of the Marquis of Huaiyin's undefeated record and his unparalleled prestige in the army, the soldiers' panic gradually dissipated and they regained their composure upon hearing this message.
They believed that the Marquis of Huaiyin must have a way to help the Han Emperor continue to resist the Chaos Demon Bull!
As expected, a resolute glint flashed in Han Xin's eyes. His soul shone even brighter, and his entire being seemed to have undergone a complete sublimation, transcending the limits of the ordinary and entering an inconceivable level.
"Boom!" The energy beam, already perfectly balanced, increased by another order of magnitude!
Not to mention the soldiers who were actually there, the immortals and demons watching the battle were all taken aback.
"What a brilliant Marquis of Huaiyin!" Countless experts exclaimed, praising his talent as an astonishing achievement in ancient history.
"The human race certainly produces many heroes," the Chaos Demon Spider couldn't help but remark.
From the pre-Xia era to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and even to the Qin and Han dynasties, there has never been a shortage of outstanding women and talented men.
"If it weren't for the Demon Ancestor's scheme to target the Dao Ancestor... given the current strength of the human race, it could be said that they are already 'flourishing'! Even at their peak, the great races of the Dragon-Han Tribulation and the Witch-Demon Tribulation were roughly in this state." The Demon Spider sighed. Times have changed. Even great races with Saint Realm experts and many weak Primordial Chaos Realm and Quasi-Saint Realm experts have faced the crisis of annihilation one after another...
In the past, who could have imagined this? Even those in the Holy Realm who peered into the future witnessed this scene.
"A true genius!" The Great Emperor of the North Pole also praised Han Xin, whose military talent was among the best in the world!
"Marquis of Huaiyin..." Cao Ya nodded. "The abilities of the 'God of War' need no further explanation?"
However, after glancing at the Divine Spear, Cao Ya's expression turned serious. The fearsome reputation of this divine weapon was known throughout the world. Although it was not in the hands of the Demon Ancestor, it would certainly not be bad if the Demon Bull were to wield it.
“Not counting the two second-class spiritual treasures, the bull horn and the armor, there’s also the top-tier Divine Spear among the first-class treasures…” Cao Ya frowned. Even with his full strength, he could only exchange two or three blows before he had to flee for his life.
Liu Bang did indeed receive immense energy guided by Han Xin, and also received a spiritual leaf from the Chaos Divine Tree. However, it was still not easy to confront him; the dangers were numerous, and a slight misstep could lead to total defeat.
Thinking this, Cao Ya raised his head, his eyes gleaming, and looked at the demonic spider billions of light-years away, his expression grave. With the demonic spider present, even he and the Great Emperor of the North Pole, working together, couldn't break through; how could they possibly provide support?
Besides, even if the Demon Spider retreats, the two of them can descend to the mortal realm and at most share some of the Chaos Demon Bull's magic power. They still cannot directly confront the crucial God-Breaking Spear.
"Only someone like Zhen Yuanzi, the Styx Taoist, the Demon Master, or the Jade Emperor could stand up to the Demon Bull at this moment."
"Even among the weak Mixed Origin cultivators, there are differences. How can the initial stage of the peak of the sixth star be compared with the ultimate stage of the sixth star? Among the alternative saints, the Demon Spider is probably at the intermediate level."
Cao Ya estimated that even if he deduced the "Cosmic Elixir Scripture" to the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, and then used all his power, what he could unleash would only be at the level of the peak of the initial six-star stage.
Of course, this is already quite terrifying; to be able to transcend such a realm is extraordinary.
The problem is that Cao Ya's "Cosmic Elixir Classic" is only at the later stage of the seventh level of Quasi-Saint.
He wasn't even at the eighth level of Quasi-Saint, let alone the ninth level, the pinnacle of Quasi-Saint ranks.
"Without human fortune, it is extremely difficult to attain enlightenment through one's own cultivation alone."
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. His comprehension was only excellent, but compared to those truly peerless geniuses, he was far inferior. The fact that he could create the "Cosmic Alchemy Scripture" in millions of years and reach the seventh level of Quasi-Saint was already considered a rapid advancement, but it was inseparable from the many versions of himself within the system space.
One Cao Yafei is incredibly talented; if you add up several of them, wouldn't that be enough?
However, different systems, even if some insights can be referenced and used to assist in cultivation, ultimately originate from vastly different universes and cannot be completely equated. The differences must be discerned by oneself.
Otherwise, it is quite possible that Cao Ya has already reached the ninth level of Quasi-Saint and touched the weak Primordial Chaos realm.
Although he was hailed as a "Primordial Dao Seed" by outsiders, Cao Ya understood that his talent was inferior to that of peerless heroes such as Guang Chengzi, Duobao Daoren, Wudang Shengmu, Yun Zhongzi, and Yang Jian.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Cao Ya held his breath and noticed the violent fluctuations in the Han Emperor's aura.
Chaos Demon Spider, the Great Emperor of the North Pole, and others also turned their heads, showing astonishment.
"Is the Emperor of Han about to attain the Dao of the Weak Primordial Chaos?!"
As Han Xin reached his peak, making the energy beam even more terrifying, Liu Bang seemed to be stimulated. His human dragon energy became more active, and with the spirit leaf in hand, his comprehension increased exponentially!
In an instant, he grasped the profound mystery of the weak Hunyuan realm, and his cultivation began to rise.
"Hmm? You want to break through, but you didn't even ask me?!" The Chaos Demon Bull's eyes twitched. Luckily, he had the God-Breaking Spear, otherwise, the Han Emperor would have successfully broken through!
"Swoosh!!" The divine spear cleaved through the Great Dao; with a casual touch, it could pierce through the laws and rules.
The pillars of light manipulated by Han Xin were all severed by the Divine Spear, making it impossible for them to reach the Han Emperor.
However, to the Chaos Demon Bull's surprise, Han Xin's thoughts were scattered in countless parts. Within the broken energy pillar, there was still consciousness surging through the sky, striving to buy time for the Han Emperor!
The powerful figures from all sides are locked in a stalemate, finding it difficult to intervene. Those who could launch an attack are determined to stand by and watch, unwilling to get involved in this conflict.
Therefore, Liu Bang's promotion depends on whether they can withstand the Chaos Demon Bull and the God-Breaking Spear!
Fortunately, the Divine Spear was not something the Demon Bull possessed, so it couldn't be used as easily as an extension of its own arm, and there was a barrier between them.
"Buzz..." With the help of the human dragon energy, the emperor sword, the spirit leaf, and the energy beam, Liu Bang completed a crucial step.
