Looking at Zu An, who was staring coldly at him from not far away, especially at that giant red bow, the Golden Crow Crown Prince felt his hair stand on end.
"Brother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." He quickly forced a smile.
"I still prefer your unruly self just now." Zuan didn't stop, and gradually drew the bow in his hand, a white arrow gradually taking shape.
"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have come out to play. I hope you will remember my years of hard work in illuminating the earth and spare my life. I will definitely do good deeds and make up for this mistake in the future." Prince Jinwu had been riding high all these years, always fawned over wherever he went. He had never been so humble as he was today.
He secretly vowed to settle accounts with him slowly after escaping this calamity.
Although the opponent is powerful, he is just a rogue cultivator. How can he compare to someone like me with a proper lineage?
Zuan sighed, recalling a classic line from his past life on the internet: "You don't know you're wrong, you know you're going to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bowstring was released, and a beam of white light appeared directly in front of the other person's forehead.
Zuan suddenly looked serious, because the Golden Crow Crown Prince was not shot to death on the spot as expected; the arrow was blocked by something inexplicable.
He looked closely and saw a golden bell-shaped shadow appear around the Crown Prince of the Golden Crow.
The giant golden bell was translucent, with some incredibly profound divine runes engraved on its surface, and it seemed to be covered by a hazy veil.
Only those with sufficient cultivation can sense the Daoist essence flowing within it.
Feeling the supreme divine power emanating from this giant golden bell, Zuan felt that his own Pure Bell phantom was simply a cheap, bankrupt knock-off compared to it.
As celestial music filled the air, the void ahead gradually parted, revealing what appeared to be chaos, followed by layers of light.
A figure solidified amidst the light, its silver hair resembling an inverted Milky Way, with flames of true solar fire burning at the tips, each strand of hair seemingly etching Dao marks in the void.
The dark gold patterns on the black imperial robe seemed to be formed from the divine souls of countless primordial beasts, and the person simply stood there, yet possessed an aura that reached the heavens.
The other person's gaze wasn't sharp; on the contrary, it was quite gentle. But when that gaze swept over him, he felt as if his skin had been pricked by needles, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
“Strange, it has the aura of the Witch Clan, and also the bloodline of the Human Clan…” The being glanced at Zu’an, also somewhat puzzled.
“Di Jun?” Zu An took a deep breath to calm the tension in his muscles.
The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head slightly: "Di Jun is my elder brother, and people often call me Taiyi."
"Donghuang Taiyi!" Zu An's pupils constricted. That was the legendary supreme god who was on par with Di Jun.
That golden bell shadow must be the Eastern Emperor Bell, the most powerful innate treasure in the world for defense. No wonder my all-out attack with the Sun-Shooting Arrow couldn't penetrate it.
"Uncle, this brat killed all my other brothers! You must avenge us!" The Golden Crow Crown Prince straightened up instantly when he saw the other party arrive, shouting loudly.
This kid is doomed. Uncle has always treated his brothers very well. With Uncle here, no one in heaven or earth can touch him!
"Are all the other Golden Crows dead?" Donghuang Taiyi was shocked.
Feeling enveloped by a powerful aura, Zu An said in a deep voice, "Not all of them died, only eight. This world cannot be without the sun, but two is still too many. It would be best if one remained."
Donghuang Taiyi's expression was cold: "Oh, you still intend to continue killing?"
The Crown Prince of Jinwu seized the opportunity to hide behind him, looking smug. This kid is really courting death. He dares to spout nonsense in front of my uncle. Does he really think my uncle is so good-natured?
Despite feeling the overwhelming pressure from the other party, Zu An was not afraid at all: "They launched ten suns at once, causing great suffering to all living beings in the world and killing hundreds of millions of people. Such a heinous crime deserves to die. Your Excellency holds a high position in the Heavenly Court. Are you going to bend the law for personal gain?"
Donghuang Taiyi said calmly, "Their actions are subject to divine punishment. When did it become your place to act on your own?"
"Furthermore, they have illuminated all things over the years, and countless living beings have prospered because of them. With these merits, even if they made some minor mistakes this time, they do not deserve to die. You, on the other hand, have openly harmed the righteous gods appointed by the Heavenly Court. In fact, your crimes are much greater than theirs, and you deserve to be torn to pieces and die."
“A minor mistake?” Zuan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. “I thought you were a renowned god in the world, a person of noble status in the Heavenly Court, who could at least distinguish right from wrong and good from evil. I didn’t expect you to be just like an ordinary person, openly protecting your own and applying double standards.”
"Good and evil, right and wrong?" Donghuang Taiyi scoffed. "The way of Heaven is constant. It does not exist for good, nor does it perish for evil. There is no such thing as right and wrong. These so-called good and evil are just things that ordinary people in the world deceive themselves with. It's funny to hear you say this to me in such a serious manner."
“Is it funny?” Zuan sneered. “Maybe you think humans are weak and insignificant now, and you look down on their ideas, but in the end, the righteous path and goodness are still the mainstream in this world.”
Donghuang Taiyi's expression darkened: "How many years have you lived, and how many years have I lived? Who gave you the right to speak so arrogantly in front of me? Let me teach you the ways of this world. I am strong and you are weak, I am of noble status and you are just a rogue cultivator. Therefore, I sentence you to death by a thousand cuts. You can only swallow your anger if you disagree. This is the way of the world!"
He snapped his fingers, and the air around Zaun suddenly became violent. The originally gentle wind turned into thousands of extremely sharp blades that enveloped every corner of his body.
"Uncle, don't let him die too easily!" Upon seeing this, the Golden Crow Crown Prince was filled with excitement.
Zuan felt as if the space around him was completely imprisoned. He couldn't dodge at all. Not to mention the Rainbow Transformation Technique, he couldn't even use his previous teleportation skills.
No wonder he's a top-tier expert!
He dared not hesitate for a moment and activated all kinds of defensive measures.
The phantom of the Pure Bell appeared around him. After he survived the Heavenly Tribulation, this Pure Bell that appeared was many times more powerful than before.
Even so, it shattered almost instantly in the face of those millions of energy blades.
"How can this broken bell compare to my uncle's Eastern Emperor Bell..." The Golden Crow Crown Prince had only spoken halfway when his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, because he discovered that another bell had suddenly appeared around the other party, with Daoist aura flowing around him. What else could it be but the Eastern Emperor Bell!
The countless energy blades that had previously possessed terrifying power were all blocked by the illusory image of the Eastern Emperor Bell.
It truly deserves to be called the supreme defensive treasure in the world.
Donghuang Taiyi was also taken aback: "Divine Pattern Weapon Diagram? How could you possibly know this technique!"
