Fuxi did not quite agree with Dijun's words, and he was unwilling to get involved in Dijun's desire to compete for the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit.
After all, Taiyi isn't ready to abdicate yet, so it's not Dijun's place to covet it.
Although he had become a member of the demon race, he had a better relationship with Taiyi and naturally did not want to go against Taiyi for the sake of Dijun.
Moreover, his sister Nuwa wanted to compete for the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit.
However, he cultivated the Dao of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven. Although he coveted the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor, he did not place much hope in it.
Therefore, if Di Jun wants to achieve the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit, then he should strive for it himself; the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage can't offer him much support...
Seeing that Fuxi remained silent, Dijun continued, "That brat has insulted my demon race so much and still doesn't know how to repent. As the Demon Emperor, I cannot sit idly by."
Therefore, I intend to send a large army to the Heavenly Court to demand an explanation, and I hope that you, fellow Daoist, can lend me a hand.”
Fuxi frowned. "Alas, fellow Daoist, do you know that doing this would likely lead to widespread suffering and immense cost to our demon race? I hope you will reconsider."
Di Jun shook his head and said, "Hehe, it is worth paying a price to defend the dignity of my demon race..." Seeing that Fuxi was about to speak, he continued, "I have already thought it through, fellow Daoist, there is no need to persuade me any further."
Fuxi was displeased upon hearing this. He had originally intended to personally mediate between the two sides, but seeing Dijun's stubbornness, he could say nothing more.
Although he was one of the three emperors of the demon race, the demon royal court was founded by Di Jun himself, and the entire demon race was unified by him. In terms of the power of discourse in the demon race, Di Jun's family still held absolute dominance.
At most, he and Nuwa only occupy a title and share some of the fortune.
Those demon race sages only listen to Di Jun; he can't command many of them.
Since that's the case, let's just do as Di Jun wishes and see what fate awaits him in the end...
"In that case, fellow Daoist, please do as you please. My sister and I have no objections," Fuxi said calmly.
Di Jun nodded slightly, "Then thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."
He had originally intended to ask Fuxi to join forces with him to attack the Heavenly Court, but seeing Fuxi's rather indifferent expression, he wisely refrained from bringing it up...
Di Jun bid farewell to Phoenix Perch Mountain and quickly returned to the Sun Palace. Soon after, an order was issued throughout the entire demon race.
Soon, countless demon armies began to gather outside the Sun Palace...
Since Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, returned, there has been no further movement. Hu Le had already prepared for war and had been ordering people to keep an eye on the demon race's every move.
He learned of Di Jun's order immediately after it was issued.
Since the other party was prepared to use force, Hu Le naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die.
He immediately ordered Venus to descend to the mortal realm and bring the human army to the Heavenly Court, and then he himself began to mobilize all the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court.
Next, he went to the Ziwei Palace and met Ziwei.
"Senior Brother, did you come for matters concerning the demon race?" Ziwei asked with a smile.
Hu Le nodded slightly: "That's right, I hope you can help me, my brother."
"We're family, if I don't help you, who else can I help?"
"Very well! Brother, please take out the Star Banner and begin summoning the Star Gods," Hu Le ordered directly.
"Is Senior Brother preparing to unleash the Zhou Tian Star Array?" Ziwei asked, quite surprised.
Hu Le nodded and smiled, "That's right. Since the two teachers created this formation, it has not been known to the world. Now it's time to show it to all people."
"That's fine too," Ziwei said with a hint of excitement.
The so-called Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation is a formation painstakingly created by Taiyi and the Golden Virtue Heavenly Empress.
This formation requires the forging of 365 large star banners and 14,800 small star banners, with the sun and moon as the central hub, 365 main stars as the foundation, and the Chaos Bell to operate the formation, gathering billions of gods and demons, in order to maximize the power of this formation.
Of course, if there aren't enough people, as long as the holders of the large and small star banners are gathered together, an array can still be set up, but its power will be much weaker...
Following Ziwei's order, countless star gods converged on the Ziwei Palace. In just a few days, tens of millions of star gods, both large and small, arrived at the Ziwei Star Enclosure.
The Ziwei and Gouchen brothers distributed the Star Banners and began their drills.
More than ten days later, the allied forces of the Heavenly Court and the human race marched into the primordial starry sky. After joining forces with a group of star gods, they transformed into a surging torrent and flew towards the Sun Palace.
Meanwhile, Di Jun led tens of millions of demon soldiers and generals on a grand march towards the primordial starry sky.
On this day, the two sides finally met in the starry sky, separated by hundreds of miles, and each set up their formations.
Hu Le sat on the cloud chariot, displaying the three auspicious clouds, the cloud light illuminating the entire starry sky, and looked up at the opposite side.
Ahead, demonic clouds gathered, murderous intent soared to the sky, weapons and armor gleamed coldly, and at the head of the group was none other than Di Jun.
He was sitting in the golden chariot of the sun, his body radiating boundless auspicious light and auspicious energy. Auspicious clouds emanated from his head, and the Hetu and Luoshu scrolls flowed in the cloud light, emitting five-colored rays of light.
Just then, Di Jun also looked over at Hu Le.
Hu Le sat upright in his cloud chariot, draped in seventy-two rays of light. Above his head appeared auspicious clouds, with three flowers flowing and five elements soaring into the sky. An ancient and simple Chaos Bell rotated slightly under the wash of the cloud light, emitting boundless radiance and auspicious energy.
The two looked at each other across the distance. Finally, Hu Le smiled slightly and gently patted the cloud carriage with his left hand. His two disciples, Kongkong'er and Jingjing'er, stepped forward and pushed the cloud carriage forward.
On the other side, Di Jun also ordered his men to maneuver the golden sun chariot forward.
The two sides finally met in the center of the battlefield and stopped about a mile apart.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time." Hu Le greeted him with a relaxed expression.
Di Jun also adopted a nonchalant demeanor and replied, "Yes! I never expected that when we meet again, it will be on the battlefield."
Although he kept calling Hu Le a brat behind his back, he was full of disdain for him.
But now that they have met, it is not appropriate to reveal it; this is the demeanor of an emperor.
"But who can we blame? If His Majesty the Demon Emperor hadn't been the first to harbor such delusions, our two sides wouldn't be in this predicament," Hu Le sighed.
Di Jun didn't argue, but simply smiled and said, "What's the use of saying anything now that things have come to this?"
"It seems the Demon Emperor has nothing to say," Hu Le said with a smile.
Di Jun nodded. "I'm telling you to lead your troops back now. Are you willing?"
"Haha... Demon Emperor, you're quite the joker. Now that I've brought my troops here, how could I possibly turn back without defeating you?" Hu Le brushed his bamboo staff across his body and replied with a smile.
"Oh? Young friend, you're quite confident. Do you really think you can defeat my demon race's elite troops with just a rabble?" Di Jun sneered.
Hu Le's smile remained unchanged. "Who exactly is the rabble remains to be seen after we've fought it out."
"Okay, I hope you won't regret it later."
"I will never regret it!"
Di Jun nodded slightly. "In that case, I'll wait for you to make your move."
"Go ahead, I'll naturally break your spell," Hu Le said with a smile.
Di Jun said no more, urging the golden chariot of the sun to return to his main camp without looking back...
