Chapter 369

Although Nurhaci was the founding ancestor of the demon-Qing, before that, he was merely a tribal Khan; it was the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji who was the true creator of the demon-Qing!

It was precisely Huang Taiji who merged the fortunes of the demon race and the human race into one—or more accurately, with the demon race as the master and the human race as the auxiliary.

Therefore, the prestige of the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji among these demi-human demons and the Jurchen Eight Banners was not the least bit inferior.

Not to mention, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji was a peak Divine Ability Realm powerhouse, on the verge of breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm!

Moreover, whether it was the demon-Qing founding ancestor Nurhaci, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji, or the Jurchen Eight Banners, all of them had cultivated demonic arts, demonizing their own bodies, possessing formidable physical strength, and combat power that surpassed ordinary humans of the same realm.

"Shut up!"

Looking at the chaotic scene in the great hall, Huang Taiji's face sank, and he roared angrily.

As his voice fell, the demi-human demons and the Jurchen Eight Banners all quieted down.

"I had you all come here, not to watch you argue!"

Seeing this, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji felt slightly satisfied and spoke slowly, "Today, the one who was snatched away was the Heishan Old Demon! But tomorrow, it might be you! You! You... or perhaps... me!"

"Therefore! The most urgent matter!"

"First! We must know who the person who snatched the Heishan Old Demon is! And why did they take action against the Heishan Old Demon?!"

"Jurchen Eight Banners, this matter is handed to you!"

Huang Taiji's gaze shifted, looking at the Jurchen Eight Banners on the right, who appeared human but exuded demonic Qi.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

"Such a small matter! Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"..."

The crowd of Jurchen Eight Banners nodded in response one after another.

It was just gathering information, not asking them to take action against the person who snatched the Heishan Old Demon... In that case, it was much simpler.

"Second!"

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, his gaze turning to the side of the demi-human demons, and he spoke in a deep voice, "You thirteen people are the leaders of the thirteen demon lineages! This concerns the Great Sacrifice of the demon-Qing! It concerns the major affairs of the demon race!"

"I hope you will cooperate fully, and there must be no mistakes! And be prepared at all times to invite the various ancestors of the thirteen demon lineages! Or even, connect with... the demon race of the Upper World!"

Once these words were spoken, the leaders of the thirteen demon lineages all changed color.

"Your Majesty! Inviting the ancestors should not be a big problem! But connecting with... the demon race of the Upper World?! This..."

One leader, with a rat head and a human body, his mung bean-like eyes flickering with glistening light, braced himself and spoke.

"That's right! Your Majesty! Connecting with the Upper World... is not as simple as imagined!"

"Your Majesty! Why not forget it! Wouldn't thirteen ancestors be enough?!"

"..."

The leaders of the other twelve lineages spoke up one after another.

"Hmph!"

"Everyone! Tearing through the void and snatching the Heishan Old Demon in the blink of an eye... you surely know the strength of this person, right?! It is very likely a... Shattered Void Realm powerhouse!"

"A Shattered Void Realm powerhouse, hostile to the demon-Qing! Hostile to the demon race! Can the ancestors of your thirteen lineages really solve this person?!"

"More importantly! Above the Earthly Demon Kingdom, the Upper World is watching! This concerns the fortune of the demon race... we must ensure there is no room for error!"

Huang Taiji let out a cold snort, his expression unchanged, looking at the leaders of the thirteen demon lineages, and said earnestly, "The importance of the demon-Qing Great Sacrifice! You know... better than I do!"

Once these words were spoken, the leaders of the thirteen demon lineages all fell silent.

The demon-Qing founding ancestor Nurhaci had not spoken until now. Seeing the current situation, his gaze shifted, he opened his mouth slightly, and slowly spat out a few words, "Everyone! The demon-Qing Great Sacrifice is more important than the survival of your thirteen demon lineages!"

"Your thirteen demon lineages can be destroyed! But the demon-Qing Great Sacrifice must succeed! Otherwise..."

"The demon-Qing shall be destroyed!"

However, just at this moment, a voice, like thunder, resounded through the void, covering the entire Qing Capital.

"Who?!"

The Qing Emperor Huang Taiji's expression changed slightly. Within his pupils, two rays of demonic light shot out. Above the void, between the universe, a gigantic palm, covering the sky and blocking the sun, radiating light, slowly suppressed downward.

"This giant hand... Not good!"

The demon-Qing founding ancestor Nurhaci also saw the scene in the void outside the great hall. His eyes shrank suddenly, and a feeling of terror surged into his heart.

He could naturally tell that this giant hand was the same one that had snatched the Heishan Old Demon not long ago!

He did not expect that this giant hand... would really come!

And, it was... so fast?!

"Father Emperor! Everyone! Attack with all your might! Do not have the slightest negligence!"

"Supreme Divine Ability: Heavenly Demon God-Slaughter!"

The Qing Emperor Huang Taiji let out a long whistle, demonic Qi rolling, breaking through the great hall, and the power of immeasurable divine abilities gathered.

His figure changed suddenly, swelling abruptly to ten thousand zhang, transforming into a supreme half-demon with a human head and a demon body. Killing intent gathered in his hands, transforming into a demon blade, and he charged toward the high sky.

This demon blade seemed to have thousands of demon figures circling within it, roaring and surging, destroying everything in its path!

"Everyone! This is the giant hand of the person who snatched the Heishan Old Demon!"

"Invite the ancestors of the thirteen lineages! Otherwise... the demon-Qing will surely be destroyed!"

The demon-Qing founding ancestor Nurhaci looked at the leaders of the thirteen lineages and said these two sentences in a deep voice.

Afterward, he turned around and looked at the Jurchen Eight Banners, his expression grave, and said coldly, "Chuying! Daishan! Manggultai! Ajige! Amin! Shurhaci! Eidu! Feiyingdong! You lead the Eight Banners and set up the Eight Directions Eight Banners Heavenly Demon World-Extinguishing Array!"

"Obey the Khan's order!"

Eight voices came. Among the Jurchen Eight Banners, eight big men like demons and devils stepped out, their auras rolling and extremely intense, heading toward the eight directions.

At the same time, the demon-Qing founding ancestor Nurhaci, his whole body surrounded by demonic Qi, light flowing, thirteen sets of armor appeared, shrouding him, and he charged toward the high sky.

As the power of the Demon God flowed, one after another, demon scripts appeared on the thirteen sets of armor. Each demon script seemed to be filled with terrifying power, shrouding Nurhaci, like a Demon God, appearing across the sky, emitting... an aura comparable to the Shattered Void Realm!

"This is the legendary... Thirteen Sets of Demon Armor?!"

"Forget it! Since this legendary demon armor has chosen Nurhaci! Then we..."

"Kill!"

"..."

The leaders of the thirteen demon lineages, seeing the demon armor on Nurhaci, suddenly changed color, as if they had thought of something, and said no more nonsense.

"Shu Qianqiu of the Profound Dark Rat clan, respectfully invite the ancestor to appear!"

"Mao Wuying of the Three-Life Cat Demon clan, respectfully invite the ancestor to appear!"

"Teng Ge of the Gray Ghost Vine clan, respectfully invite the ancestor to appear!"

"..."

In an instant, the leaders of the thirteen lineages summoned their respective ancestors one after another.

Above the Far North land, in thirteen strange places, suddenly, demonic Qi permeated, and a tall demon body appeared, flickering in and out, emitting a violent and ferocious aura.

"There is a backup summoning me?!"

"Has the demon race encountered a great disaster again?! Or is it... the demon-Qing Great Sacrifice..."

"..."

One after another, tall demon bodies manifested, a full thirteen of them, without the slightest hesitation, following the sound of the summoning, crossing infinite void, and appearing in the Qing Capital.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The spiritual energy of the sky gathered, rolling demonic Qi permeated, and thirteen terrifying demon bodies appeared.
