When the Styx Ancestor heard that the Daoist Zhunti had mentioned the Asura race, he was filled with rage.
Over the years, his Asura clan had suffered quite a bit at the hands of Daoist Zhunti. Now that Daoist Zhunti brought it up again, how could he not hear the deep malice in the other party's words?
"Zhunti! You have bullied me many times in the past. Today is the perfect opportunity to settle accounts with you and see if you dare to plot against my Asura clan again!" Styx Ancestor roared angrily.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti lightly brushed the Seven Treasures Tree on his body and said dismissively, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. The Asura race was indeed conceived by you, but the truth is known to all beings."
That was merely the manifestation of the workings of Heaven through your hands. How could you claim this achievement of Heaven as your own and take the Asura race as your private property?
One should know that one should give birth without possessing, act without relying on one's own power, and achieve success without claiming credit.
"Yet you so shamelessly claim credit for Heaven's work; you are truly unworthy of being a son."
Zhunti Daoist scolded Styx Ancestor for a while, then shook his head slightly, seemingly very disappointed in Styx Ancestor.
He secretly blamed him for not learning from Fellow Daoist Xuanxiang.
Even though he was the emperor, he still shared the human race with everyone.
If all else fails, learn from Di Jun.
Although he founded the demon race, he did not hoard it; at the very least, he shared power over the demon race with Nuwa and Fuxi.
Only the Styx Ancestor has always kept the Asura race as his own private property, refusing to share it with anyone.
Even the Primordial Demon Lord, who was also one of the ancestors of the demonic path, was unable to pass on his Great Dao to the Asura race.
In Zhunti Daoist's view, even if Styx Ancestor had become a Primordial Saint, let alone not being a Saint, such selfish behavior could not last.
The Styx Ancestor was even more furious at this moment, knowing that the Daoist Zhunti had never given up his evil intentions towards his Asura clan.
“Zhunti! If you lack believers, you can create living beings yourself!”
It's one thing if they don't have the ability themselves, but they've set their sights on my Asura clan.
Such behavior truly befits a son.
Seeing the two of them arguing endlessly about the Asura clan, Hu Le couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
He stepped forward, nodded to Houtu Niangniang, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, considering that you have made great contributions to the human race in the past, if you stop now, you are willing to lead your people to submit to me again."
I will forgive and forget your past transgressions.
I hope that you, fellow Daoist, will know when to advance and when to retreat tomorrow, and will not disappoint my good intentions.
The Goddess Houtu remained unmoved and instead sneered.
At this point, expecting them to turn back is pure fantasy.
Ahead lay endless darkness, but they would use their swords to cleave a crack in the darkness and usher in a ray of light...
"Hmph! Xuanxiang! Stop talking nonsense. What crime have we committed that we need you to forgive and forget?"
On the contrary, since you became the Human Emperor, you have been arrogant and domineering, eliminating dissidents, disregarding the laws of the human race, seizing the merits and fortune of humanity to bless yourself, leading heretics into our human race, spreading evil magic, and ruining the destiny of our human race...
If we are to assign blame, then you are the one who has committed the greatest crime and is unforgivable…
Gonggong shouted in a loud voice.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le sighed softly, then turned to Yuanshi Daoist and smiled, "They have ultimately fallen too deep into their tribulations and lost their minds. Even if I wanted to save them, there's nothing I could do!"
The Primordial Daoist said indifferently, "Then let's send them all to be freed, so that we can help them transcend this calamity."
"Fellow Daoist, you are merciful." Hu Le nodded in response.
The matter has been discussed to this point, and there is no need to say anything more.
Zhunti Daoist stepped forward, smiling as he pointed the Seven Treasures Tree at Styx Ancestor and said, "Fellow Daoist! Weren't you just going to settle scores with me? Now's the time to do so."
"What do you mean, 'I'm afraid of you'?"
With a furious roar, the Styx Ancestor charged towards the Zhunti Daoist, wielding the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords.
"I'm afraid you won't dare to come!"
Zhunti Daoist waved the Seven Treasures Tree in his palm left and right, then pushed Yuan Tu Abi aside. With a sway, the tree struck towards the face of Styx Ancestor.
Ancestor Styx took a step back and dodged...
On the other side, the Primordial Demon Lord also jumped out and shouted at the Primordial Daoist: "I have long heard of the Three Pure Ones. Today, let me, the Demon Lord, witness the great magic of the Xuanmen."
Yuanshi Daoist smiled coldly, and the Three Treasures Ruyi appeared in his palm as he slowly approached the Primordial Demon Lord.
The Primordial Demon Lord brandished the God-Slaying Spear, his figure blurred, and he pounced in front of the Primordial Daoist. With a flick of his spear tip, countless cold lights burst forth, enveloping the Primordial Daoist's vital points.
The Primordial Daoist simply swung down the Three Treasures Ruyi, and with a light sweep, instantly shattered the myriad spear shadows.
The two immediately began to fight...
Hu Le then pointed his bamboo cane at Houtu Niangniang and laughed, "Houtu! Come here and face your death!"
"Hmph! How arrogant! Who knows who will die first!"
Houtu Niangniang sneered, drew a sword in her hand, and jumped in front of Hu Le to distract him and stab him.
Fearing that Houtu Niangniang would suffer a loss, Xuanming Niangniang shouted, "Sister, I'm here to help you!" With that, she immediately stepped forward and joined forces with Houtu Niangniang to attack Hu Le.
Di Jun did not stand idly by at this moment. He raised his hand and pointed, and the Hetu Luoshu, wrapped in a ball of light, fell from the sky and smashed towards Hu Le.
Hu Le stepped back, avoiding the sharpness of Houtu and Xuanming, and then with a thought, a Chaos Bell flew out from behind his head to meet the Hetu Luoshu.
With a clang.
The Chaos Bell rang out, and the Hetu and Luoshu were instantly sent flying.
At the same time, Hu Le stepped forward, closing in on Houtu and Xuanming. With a flick of his bamboo staff, he created a series of shadows that enveloped the two of them.
A series of clanging and banging noises.
In an instant, the bamboo staff clashed with the two women's magical artifacts hundreds of times.
Its sound was like rain pattering on banana leaves, fast and continuous...
Just then, Guan Kong stepped forward and shouted at the Kunpeng Ancestor, "Kunpeng! Last time, before the battle was decided, you hurriedly fled. Now that we meet again, let's fight again and settle the score once and for all!"
"Excellent! This is exactly what the Ancestor has been hoping for!"
The Kunpeng Ancestor gave a sinister smile, bursting out of the crowd in a gust of demonic wind and lunging towards Guan Kong...
Chisongzi also stepped forward and shouted at Gonggong, "Gonggong! Come and die!"
Gonggong sneered, raising his jade hook to meet Chisongzi...
Immortal Yuanfu and other immortals then found their respective opponents.
In an instant, the entire field erupted into chaos.
The aftershocks of the battle spread out, and the world instantly turned into nothingness.
Hu Le frowned slightly, and while fighting against Houtu Niangniang and others, he summoned a Xuanhuang Merit Cloud.
Auspicious clouds of merit swirled gently above his head, releasing countless streams of primordial energy that rippled across the heavens and earth, stabilizing the collapsing universe...
