Looking at the auspicious clouds hanging in the sky, the Kunpeng Ancestor frowned. He leaped into the air and opened his Dharma Eyes to look towards the opposite camp.
Hu Le seemed to sense the gaze of the Kunpeng Ancestor, and he also raised his eyelids and looked back.
Two gazes collided, separated by dozens of miles.
boom!
The Kunpeng Ancestor felt an incredibly powerful force surge along the other's line of sight, then flowed into his sea of consciousness, and suddenly exploded.
"ah……"
The Kunpeng Ancestor felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and his head felt as if it had been hit hard by a hammer. He staggered and almost fell from the sky.
Fortunately, his mind cleared up in an instant, he steadied himself, and hurriedly looked away.
"This young man is becoming more and more unfathomable!"
The Kunpeng Ancestor forcibly suppressed his fear and slowly descended from mid-air.
Just then, the Goddess Houtu sent someone over.
"Demon Master, Her Majesty wishes to invite you over for a chat."
After bowing to the Kunpeng Ancestor, the visitor directly conveyed the orders of the Empress Houtu.
"Yes! I understand. You go first, and I will go see her shortly."
The messenger agreed and turned to go back to report...
The Kunpeng Ancestor instructed Changyang to guard the camp, and then hurriedly flew towards the human camp alone.
He had just arrived outside the camp gate when he was led into the camp by the humans waiting outside, where he met Houtu and Xuanming.
"Greetings, Your Highnesses."
Kunpeng Ancestor politely bowed.
He was an arrogant and ruthless man. In the past, even if everyone was an ally, he would not have been so polite.
But things are different now. He has accepted Hu Le's magical treasure, and now that Hu Le has arrived, he is quite uneasy. He was hoping to use the power of Houtu Niangniang and the others to help him resist Hu Le, so how could he not be polite?
"The Demon Master has arrived just in time. Have you seen that auspicious cloud over there?" Houtu asked directly after inviting Kunpeng Ancestor to sit down.
Upon hearing this, the Kunpeng Ancestor nodded, "There's no need for Your Majesty to inquire; I already know who has come."
"Excellent! Then please, Demon Master, quickly inform Emperor Jun to bring some Demon Saints over to fight alongside us against the enemy."
With time of the essence, Houtu Niangniang didn't beat around the bush with Kunpeng Laozu and directly stated the reason for summoning him.
“Even if Her Majesty didn’t say so, I would still ask His Majesty to come in person…” Kunpeng Ancestor nodded.
Before leaving, he also offered his opinion: "It may not be appropriate for only our demon race to contribute. I hope Your Majesty will also invite Zhu Rong and the others to come."
The patriarch refused to believe that even if that junior possessed extraordinary abilities, with all of us fellow Daoists joining forces, we couldn't possibly defeat him!
"Don't worry, Demon Master, I have already sent someone to the rear to invite them over." Houtu Niangniang also revealed what she had done earlier.
Clearly, their thoughts were in sync...
Kunpeng Ancestor immediately rushed back and summoned Changyang.
With a solemn expression, he instructed, "Changyang, our great enemy, the Demon Emperor, has arrived. Go to the Sun Palace and ask His Majesty the Demon Emperor to descend to the mortal realm immediately."
Upon hearing this, Changyang dared not delay and immediately set off towards the direction of the Outer Sun Palace.
Soon after, he arrived in the heavens, passed through the sea of stars, entered the solar star field, flew for a distance, and finally arrived at the Sun Palace.
At this time, countless camps had already been set up outside the Sun Palace.
The camp was garrisoned by countless demon troops, clearly indicating that Di Jun had already gathered his military strength and was ready to lead his army to the mortal realm.
Upon learning of Chang Yang's arrival, Di Jun immediately ordered his men to welcome him inside.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Upon meeting Di Jun, Chang Yang immediately bowed and greeted him.
"You may dispense with the formalities, my dear minister."
Emperor Jun sat on the Demon Emperor's throne and gently raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chang Yang got up from the ground and then explained his purpose.
"Your Majesty, the Human Emperor has descended to the mortal realm. The Demon Master, fearing he is no match for him, has specially ordered me to come and invite Your Majesty to descend to the mortal realm and personally lead the army in the conquest."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun nodded: "Yes, I understand. You go back first, and I will lead the army to provide support soon."
"Yes," Chang Yang replied, bid farewell to Di Jun, and hurriedly returned.
Di Jun summoned Chang Xi, then went to the demon army camp, mustered a million troops, and then marched mightily towards the prehistoric world...
Outside Tianzhu Mountain, the night quickly faded, the east turned a pale white, and the sky gradually brightened. The thin mist in the mountains was soon dispersed by the morning breeze.
Hu Le had a sudden thought and put away Qingyun.
Guan Kong, Chi Songzi, and Yuan Fu Xianweng also finished their morning prayers and came over to pay their respects...
After the army in the camp had finished eating breakfast, Hu Le ordered Chi Songzi to send a challenge to Hou Tu Niangniang, agreeing to start the battle at noon.
The reinforcements that Houtu Niangniang was waiting for had not yet arrived, so she naturally would not easily agree.
After receiving the challenge, she silently calculated for a while and then wrote a new challenge, changing the date of the decisive battle to three days later.
After reading the contents of the challenge, Hu Le chuckled and knew what the other party was up to. He didn't care much and readily agreed.
As expected, the Earth Goddess Houtu was right. A day later, the heavens suddenly shone brightly, and a murderous aura spread out, quickly filling the entire world.
A golden cloud chariot slowly emerged from the sunlight, emitting countless golden rays.
Following the golden chariot, a forest of swords and spears stretched out, banners fluttered, and countless demon soldiers, fully armored, formed battle formations and surged forth like a tide.
A dense mass of figures began to spread across the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see...
When Kunpeng Ancestor saw Dijun leading his army, he breathed a sigh of relief, soared into the sky in a gust of demonic wind, and went to meet them.
When he flew to the golden carriage, he bowed to the inside and Di Jun lifted the curtain and stepped out.
"You've worked hard, Demon Master."
Di Jun said something polite, and then, led by the Kunpeng Ancestor, landed in the demon camp below.
Meanwhile, the demons began to perform magic to summon clouds, which, after condensing, formed aerial camps stretching for thousands of miles in the sky.
In the Yanhuang camp opposite, Chisongzi and the others naturally witnessed the arrival of Dijun.
They rushed to see Hu Le.
"Your Majesty, the demon army is coming." Chisongzi said in a deep voice, his tone quite solemn, as if he was full of fear of the arrival of the demon army.
Hu Le remained calm upon hearing this, giving a soft "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
"Teacher, should we go to the rear to recruit some more soldiers?" Guan Kong asked, frowning slightly.
Clearly, with the arrival of the demon army, the Yanhuang tribe's army was already at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Hu Le listened to Guan Kong's suggestion and shook his head slightly, "There's no need for that, our current troop strength is already sufficient."
What good is a large army? In the end, it's often these powerful individuals who decide the outcome...
