Chapter 79 The Immortal Palace Destroyed, Demon Race Appears
When the first Quasi-Saint of the Immortal Palace died at the hands of Gonggong, and the powerful figures of the Immortal Palace were successively destroyed by the Ancestral Witches, just as the Queen Mother of the West decided to self-destruct, Dijun, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally appeared in the clouds with his large army, displaying an overwhelming and undeniable presence before the Immortal Palace and the Witch Clan.
"Di Jun, what are you trying to do?" Di Jiang questioned, "You're not trying to interfere, are you?"
Di Jun raised an eyebrow, making no mention of his original plan, and said righteously, "As fellow cultivators, I cannot stand your Wu Clan's aggressive attitude, so I have come to help the Immortal Palace."
It's all talk and no action. The Queen Mother of the West isn't stupid; how could she not understand Emperor Jun's opportunistic intentions?
"So you've decided to become enemies with my Wu Clan?" Di Jiang asked with a hostile expression.
Di Jun smiled without saying a word. When he decided to step forward and gather the remaining Immortal Palaces, he knew that he would follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Palaces and become the next opponent of the Witch Clan. However, if Di Jun were to back down because of this, he would not have developed the ambition to unify the prehistoric world.
“Your Majesty,” Changxi stepped forward, extending an olive branch to the Queen Mother of the West, “Your Majesty has seen the situation today. Do you intend to perish together with the Wu tribe, or do you consider that your subordinates have followed you for a time and should think of their future?”
The Queen Mother of the West felt a chill in her heart. What was the difference between the demon race and the witch race? One was all smiles and laughter, yet she wanted to devour her whole, bones and all; while the other was stubborn and only knew how to shout "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."
"Your Majesty, have you thought this through? Considering how difficult it is for everyone to cultivate, millions of years of arduous cultivation, if it's all lost in a single day like the Eastern Emperor, there's no way to bring it back down." Fuxi stepped forward, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze, and lifted the Queen Mother of the West onto the high platform, making it clear that she couldn't get down.
The Queen Mother of the West looked back at her friends and subordinates who were once glorious but are now in a sorry state, as well as the seven maids she had once taught as disciples. If they were to die and their souls were to perish, even if they were to preserve their true spirits like Donghua and be able to rebuild their cultivation, they would never be the same people they were before.
"Your Majesty, Cheng'er refuses! I am willing to fight to the death for Your Majesty!" Cheng'er glared at the group of demons. They wanted to devour their Immortal Palace and make the original Immortal Palace people serve the demons. Dream on.
"Zi'er is willing to live and die with Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, it's nothing more than death."
...
...
"Stop talking," the Queen Mother of the West raised her hand to stop everyone from speaking. "Di Jun, you should know that forcing things is useless. There are plenty of people who will only go through the motions. Even if you manage to keep those who are disloyal, you still have to guard against them causing trouble. You should know the profit and loss of this transaction."
“Of course,” Di Jun listened with a smile, “Then what does Your Majesty think?”
"Your demon race helped my Immortal Palace repel the Witch Clan, and I am willing to retire to West Kunlun and never interfere in the conflicts of the primordial world again. I also offer you the Immortal Palace's treasury with both hands. If the people of the Immortal Palace are willing to join the demon race, I will not stop them. If they are unwilling, I hope that Emperor Jun can allow them to accompany this disheartened person in West Kunlun." The Queen Mother of the West slowly revealed her plan. Although it would be a painful blow, it was still better than dragging them down with her to their deaths.
After a moment's thought, Di Jun decided that it was fine. Did he think the demon race was too easy to manage, since he insisted on bringing those who were loyal to the Queen Mother of the West under his command?
“Alright, I agree. Then please, Queen Mother of the West, make a vow before the Heavenly Dao.” Di Jun readily agreed.
The Queen Mother of the West glanced at the ashen-faced Ancestral Witches and quickly spoke: "Heaven above, I, the Queen Mother of the West, swear on this day that I will forever reside in West Kunlun and never again concern myself with the affairs of the primordial world. If I break this oath, may I die and my soul perish."
Seeing that Di Jun had gotten all the benefits, Di Jiang was so angry that his chest heaved. "Di Jun, you've gone too far!"
"It's nothing," Di Jun said, indicating that it was nothing. "Are you going to retreat today, or do you want to fight with my demon race?" He would never let Di Jiang know that he had planned this whole thing.
Dijiang was furious. "Let Dijun, that brat, know the power of my Wu clan!"
The Queen Mother of the West took a few steps back, and the people of the Immortal Palace also gave up the battlefield to the demon race. This was to test the demon race's capabilities and to consider whether they would be trapped in West Kunlun or unwilling to join the demon race.
Taiyi had been waiting for these words. He summoned the Chaos Bell and fought the six Ancestral Witches alone. For a time, the only sounds in the world were the occasional soft ringing of the Chaos Bell, the sounds of flesh colliding with each punch, and the occasional distortions and fluctuations in time and space.
Determined to establish his authority, Di Jun used all his skills, employing both the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams to block the three ancestral witches.
Fuxi and Kunpeng exchanged a glance, and finally Fuxi took a step back and gestured to Kunpeng in a friendly manner.
"Hmph," Kunpeng arrogantly raised his chin, "I'll leave one for you." With that, he also met Ru Shou and Xuan Ming head-on, not to be outdone.
Jumang and Fuxi were left to confront each other.
The Ancestral Witches specialized in physical cultivation and looked down on spiritual practices and trivial matters. Of course, they also considered the mind-bending Qimen Dunjia and Bagua formations to be heavenly books.
Upon first encountering Shangdi Jun, who specialized in formations, they were dragged around and tormented. Gonggong and Zhurong were led to attack and annihilate each other, while Houtu blocked one after another, leaving them utterly exhausted.
When Di Jun threw them out of the formation, Gonggong and Zhurong abandoned their enemy and fought each other, causing Di Jiang to lose face.
Above the void, Taiyi also defeated the six Ancestral Witches, like a war god descending to earth. His whole being was bright and dazzling, full of invincible power, which dazzled everyone's eyes.
Di Jun, with a sudden inspiration, sensed that he was destined by Heaven. He stood in the air and declared, "I am Di Jun, a primordial being born from the Sun Star. Seeing the endless strife and killing in the primordial world, I wish to establish the Demon Race based on the Heavenly Court, to rule over the four seas and eight wastelands, to follow the timing of Heaven, and to establish order in the primordial world. From now on, I will be the Demon Emperor, using the Hetu and Luoshu to suppress the destiny of the Demon Race. As long as I live, the Demon Race will live forever."
After speaking, Di Jun held his breath and waited for the Heavenly Dao's reaction.
Taiyi frowned. How could his elder brother have made such a solemn vow? What if something went wrong? How could he extricate himself from this predicament?
So be it. We're brothers, good or bad, I'll stay by your side.
"I am Taiyi, a primordial being born from the Sun Star. From now on, I will be the Eastern Emperor, using the Chaos Bell to suppress the fate of the demon race. As long as I live, the demon race will live forever."
As soon as the words were spoken, the newly established demon race, with the Chaos Bell joining them to suppress the fortune, swept away the previous ethereal power. Purple energy came from the east, golden lotuses surged down, and there was even a radiant glow, no less powerful than the aura of a saint becoming a saint.
Emperor Jun was overjoyed. The newly appointed Demon Emperor and his strategist exchanged a glance and decided to continue their efforts.
"Are you all willing to submit to the demon race?" Di Jun invited the people of the Immortal Palace amidst the rising purple aura and auspicious light.
"We are willing." Everyone admires strength, and these people in the celestial palace who bowed their heads were not peaceful people. How could they be willing to be trapped in West Kunlun forever?
"The Demon Court has been newly established. Fuxi and Nuwa are hereby appointed as Demon Saints, Kunpeng as Demon Master, and the Ten Flying Generals as Commanders..."
"Fuxi/Kunpeng...receive the title." The demons were overjoyed. What did the Heavenly Dao's approval mean? It meant that they were the legitimate successors, and that they would have a legitimate reason to do whatever they wanted in the future.
This... Everyone was dumbfounded. Did the Heavenly Dao tacitly approve of this newly established demon race ruling the prehistoric world? That Di Jun, after rambling on and on, suddenly became the legitimate ruler?
The Queen Mother of the West sighed deeply. The situation was hopeless, but fortunately, she still had seven maids who remained loyal to her. She should be grateful.
The ancestral witches looked at each other, wondering who they could reason with.
Do you accept it? Of course not.
What if they disagree? The Ancestral Witches were determined to snatch the Mandate of Heaven from the hands of the demon race.
Of course, the most urgent thing now is to go back and think of a solution, because Di Jun and Tai Yi are not easy to deal with.
