Chapter 445: True Word of Taiyi, Demon Emperor Taiyi

"The Sun of the Great World can indeed resonate with this Avatar of my Demon Emperor Taiyi soul."

"It's just... it feels like nothing more than a resonance, displaying a vision to inform the entire North King Time Domain of my arrival."

"A bit like an entrance effect."

"Other than showing off, it's completely useless!"

After the Taiyi Avatar, wrapped in scorching and dazzling Golden Light, appeared in the Xuanqing Realm, he immediately sensed the Sun from high above.

It was just a pity that the result left Su Ping somewhat disappointed.

While feeling regretful, Su Ping suddenly discovered that as he resonated with the Sun, he seemed able to sense some kind of region within the North King Time Domain sending a mysterious guidance toward his Taiyi Avatar.

In the dark, Su Ping could feel through the Taiyi Avatar that heading there would allow this soul-split avatar of his to obtain tremendous benefits.

After discovering this, Su Ping secretly said to himself that this trip had not been in vain.

He discovered that because of the Taiyi Avatar's entrance.

These three Innate Supreme Treasures were all pulling on various nodes throughout the entire Great World of the Xuanqing Realm.

Cultivators above the Dao Integration realm even felt a sense of shame in their hearts after hearing those words.

"Filthy things, reveal yourselves at once!"

Under the sweep of the divine light, Su Ping was slightly shaken.

"So this is how, under the Great Sun, all demons and evil spirits have nowhere to hide!"

The three leading old cultivators in purple robes had reached the Great Vehicle Realm, and each had taken out an Innate Supreme Treasure.

The voice was calm, yet it carried a trace of heart-palpitating disappointment.

In the Xuanqing Realm, it could unleash even more powerful might.

Although such preparations were in place, faced with this uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared, none of the high-level figures of the Xuanqing Realm dared to make a move; they all held their ground while simultaneously attempting to communicate with the other party.

Even the old Sect Master and Supreme Elder of the Xuanqing Sect, upon watching the Taiyi Avatar's figure blur under the Golden Light.

This caused the three Great Vehicle cultivators of the Xuanqing Sect to be terrified in the next instant, fearing that despite having the protection of Innate Supreme Treasures and the reinforcement of the Xuanqing Realm's ten-thousand-year accumulation array, their subjective consciousnesses were still being affected.

As He focused the Sun's divine light with His eyes.

And then, the moment He saw the fallen ones, He found even more traces based on them.

The Taiyi Avatar swept a glance at these high-level members of the Xuanqing Sect who only dared to watch from afar.

Thus, in a mere instant, he saw the hidden dangers of the Xuanqing Realm clearly.

Su Ping, at this moment, entered the perception of the Taiyi soul-split avatar.

He could also hear this majestic, scolding voice at this moment.

They could not help but believe the words of the Taiyi Avatar in the sky a little more.

He even vaguely peered at a certain Demon God within the Dark Disaster Chaos behind these fallen ones.

But that entrance effect just now was truly too terrifying!

The high-level members of the Xuanqing Realm were almost entirely mobilized, and more than ten large Immortal Boats and over a hundred cultivators above the Dao Integration realm had already appeared in all directions.

And the other party's disappointment itself seemed to become a massive responsibility for them, making them feel ashamed and unable to face him.

He was just planning to leave without causing any trouble.

There was no help for it; although the other party was only one person.

Suddenly, a light sigh from the Taiyi Avatar echoed through the Xuanqing Realm:

"This world of yours... is also filthy."

With one glance, the remaining traces of filth were traced back to their source as if rewinding time, allowing Su Ping to see the fallen ones lurking in the Xuanqing Realm.

There was no help for it; the overwhelming heavenly might after the other party appeared was truly too similar to the temperament of an Immortal Emperor to whom ten thousand immortals bowed, as recorded in the sect's archives.

This caused that Chaos Demon God to seem to notice it was being peered at, and it was immediately so frightened that it severed its mental connection with its servants in the Xuanqing Realm.

Even now, looking up at the high sky to see the gradually fading illusion of the Nine Suns in the Sky still left them filled with dread.

It seemed that because of their poor management, filth had appeared in the Xuanqing Realm, thereby disappointing this mysterious, golden-shining big shot before them.

It seemed to have activated a divine ability similar to the Heavenly Eye of Demon Emperor Taiyi.

In the instant those connections were suddenly lost.

"In the name of the Eastern Emperor!"

They could not help but wonder if this mysterious existence was some missing Immortal Emperor who had returned?

He was stunned to discover that this Great World, under the divine eyes of Demon Emperor Taiyi, already had traces left by pollution.

And then!

A thunderous and majestic scolding voice came from the golden figure in the high sky:

It was the vast starry sea outside and the intelligent beings on those large and small planets.

"In the name of Demon Emperor Taiyi!"

The voice, like rolling thunder, instantly resounded throughout the Xuanqing Realm.

After all, there was no reason for such an incredible figure to deceive a weak and helpless force like them, right?

Some teachers discovered their Personal Disciples suddenly screaming as black energy emerged from them, turning them into monsters.

And then, before these monsters could even cry for mercy, their bodies suddenly ignited.

There were also the drudging cultivators in the artifact refining workshops who suddenly discovered that the workshop manager they cursed in private had truly turned into a monster in full view of everyone and then burned to death.

Even those hidden within the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land were affected by the True Word power of the Taiyi soul-split avatar, and having their connections severed, they were suddenly exposed and consumed by flames.

In just a breath or two, as the voice fell, the pollution and fallen ones of the Xuanqing Realm were all cleared away in unison.

This effect surprised not only the natives of the Xuanqing Realm but even Su Ping slightly; he had not expected the Taiyi Avatar's divine ability to be so effective.

Of course, being able to have such an effect was mainly because the fallen ones polluted in the Xuanqing Realm were not of a high level; they were basically small fry, which is why they were immediately destroyed in body and Divine Soul after being revealed under the power of the True Word.

However, others did not know this, and after guessing a little, they did not know how high its upper limit might be.

The higher-ups of the Xuanqing Realm are not fools; with the help of the grand formation, they could sense what had just occurred in the surroundings in that instant.

They discovered that so many monsters that looked wrong at a glance had actually lurked into their home.

While their inner shame intensified, they also cautiously breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the other party was willing to help clear the filth of the Xuanqing Realm, they were likely a friend rather than a foe.

But before they could decide how to approach this suddenly appearing mysterious existence.

They discovered that the other party had already vanished.

Just as He had appeared before.

Yet the slowly dissipating phantom of the Nine Suns in the Sky, and the ashes of those forced to reveal their forms and then self-immolate everywhere, all proved that everything that had happened before was real and true.

It was also at this moment, recalling all that had happened, that every Cultivator in the Xuanqing Realm remembered the honorable name spoken when the other party unleashed that incredible divine ability.

Eastern Emperor!

Demon Emperor Taiyi!

"This existence is indeed an Emperor!"

"However... why have I never heard of the name 'Eastern Emperor'?"

"And Demon Emperor Taiyi, I have never seen him either."

"Either he is an Emperor from another Time Domain, or... perhaps he is an Ancient Great Ability from an era even more ancient than the records we have preserved..."

"But regardless of which it is, it all indicates that our North King Time Domain is about to face great chaos!"

The higher-ups of the Xuanqing Realm were filled with shock and suspicion.

For various reasons, the Demon Clan members who happened to be in the Xuanqing Realm were invigorated after their shock.

Demon Emperor Taiyi!

Although they had never heard of this title from childhood to adulthood, it did not stop them from concluding, upon hearing the first two characters, that this big shot was one of their own Demon Clan!

Some Demon Clan members even urgently used magic treasures, sparing no resources to connect with their own clans to report this matter.

The lower and middle-tier Demon Clan members were all overjoyed that a Demon Emperor had emerged for the Demon Clan.

The higher-ups of the Demon Alliance who received the news.

After being stunned for a while, they felt wary of this suddenly emerged Demon Emperor Taiyi.

Although the other party's entrance effect was explosive and displayed terrifying divine power.

But... the other party was, after all, not from the high-ranking Demon Clan within the Demon Alliance.

If such a Demon Clan Emperor were allowed to ascend to the top, would the Demon Alliance still be their Demon Alliance?

Thus, amidst the confusion of some Cultivators, the Demon Alliance chose the same silent, wait-and-see attitude toward the matter of Demon Emperor Taiyi as the Dao Alliance and the Buddha Alliance.

There were no plans to welcome the return of a Demon Clan Emperor as many Demon Clan members had hoped.

After Su Ping withdrew the Taiyi Avatar, he quietly released it again in the Shikong Haiyu.

Discovering that the heaven and earth resonance and the Nine Suns in the Sky effect were one-time occurrences, Su Ping breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If he had to have such an entrance effect every time he appeared, would the living beings of the North King Time Domain even be able to cultivate properly?

However, although the entrance effect was gone, the various blessings given to the Taiyi soul-split avatar remained.

Su Ping also relied on having life-saving trump cards like the Teleportation Talisman.

He chose to follow the guidance from the dark, letting the Taiyi soul-split avatar go and seek out the object that might be of great benefit to it.

And the location of the guidance.

After Su Ping controlled the Taiyi soul-split avatar to arrive.

It gave Su Ping a feeling of "as expected."

It was a Shikong Haiyu where broken Immortal Boats and giant dilapidated buildings floated everywhere.

It was an Ancient Relic that the Three Great Alliances of the North King Time Domain all needed to cautiously explore together.

Hidden within the fragments of Immortal Boats and buildings were countless time-space vortices.

From time to time, Time-Space Turbulence would rush out from within, dragging Cultivators into the various Secret Realm fragments that were also shattered inside.

Those Secret Realms, which should have been the handiwork of Heavenly Immortals or even Immortal Emperors, remained in the local Void even as fragments.

And once the balance was broken and they suddenly collapsed, the destructive power produced would be no less than a full-strength strike of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, besides the residual power left by Heavenly Immortals and Emperors.

Generally speaking, these Ancient Relics also often contained other unknown powers.

It would not be surprising to discover that some Secret Realm fragment had long been polluted by the power of the Dark Catastrophe.

The Taiyi Avatar put away the life-saving trump cards given by Su Ping.

His eyes looked toward this land of Ancient Relics filled with Chaos and disorder, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a stream of light and escaped inside.

In the distance, the Ninth Stage Great Abilities of the Three Great Alliances guarding this place had already sensed it the moment the Taiyi Avatar appeared, and matched him to the identity of the Eastern Emperor, Demon Emperor Taiyi.

It was also because of this, even though they did not detect a dangerous aura from the other party, the guards of the Three Great Alliances tacitly agreed not to act as villains to stop him.

And after watching him enter the Ancient Relic, they each ordered their disciples who were seeking opportunities inside the Ancient Relic to retreat quickly.

Once he entered the Ancient Relic.

Su Ping felt from the Taiyi Avatar that some Cultivators in this Shikong Haiyu were moving away.

He chuckled, ignored those Cultivators, and let the Taiyi Avatar follow his feeling and rush into a time-space vortex.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

Su Ping discovered that his Taiyi Avatar had actually appeared in a plaza in front of the main entrance of a large palace that looked quite imposing and was based in black.

The main entrance, at least a hundred meters wide, had long been wide open, and the black iron gates were scattered on the ground in pieces, already covered in dust.

The thousand-meter-high pitch-black city walls, a bit further from the main entrance, also had severely collapsed sections every thousand meters.

In the gloomy sky, shrill screams filled with sorrow could be heard from time to time.

Even while standing outside the gate, Su Ping could already feel immense pressure assaulting him from all directions through his Taiyi Avatar, as if urging him, the intruder, to quickly distance himself from this ominous place.

Hum!

The Taiyi Avatar ignited with golden flames, and the Golden Light soared into the sky, illuminating the surrounding heavens except for the space above the palace.

Furthermore, a Three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Image appeared high in the sky; as its wings spread, it turned the sky into an ocean composed of golden flames.

Carrying the surrounding Golden Light with him, the Taiyi Avatar walked toward the main entrance.

As he stepped into the gateway, the Golden Light in the sky also pressed against the palace's pitch-black Yuanling, forcing it to retreat step by step.

Until... the Taiyi Avatar stepped onto the stairs, walked step by step to the palace at the highest point, and then pushed open the great doors without the slightest hesitation.

Inside the great doors, it was clearly another small Secret Realm.

Inside was a palace space that looked far more massive than it appeared from the outside.

Yet, it was also a scene of doomsday ruins, with broken walls and debris everywhere.

However, unlike the outside world, besides the dilapidated scenery, there also appeared the corpses of extraordinary beings of various races lying on the ground.

The Taiyi Avatar swept his gaze across.

He could discover that there were over ten thousand corpses within this palace, belonging to no fewer than a hundred races.

Besides the familiar Human race, Su Ping also saw the corpses of high-level Demon Clan members such as the Dragon race and the Phoenix race.

Most of them had only translucent white bones remaining.

There were also a very small number whose physical bodies had been preserved, yet they still exuded the scent of Decay.

The Taiyi Avatar walked past this land of corpses; the surrounding aura of Decay could not get anywhere near his Sun True Fire.

And after walking close to the front of the throne.

He looked directly at the phantom on the throne.

With a "Crack!" sound, some kind of Seal was broken.

On the black throne in front of the Taiyi Avatar, there was actually a single-horned Qilin sitting cross-legged, appearing as if it were carved from black crystal.

This Qilin radiated a dense aura of death, looking as if it had already perished for many years.

Yet its physical body still contained surging, vast pressure, seemingly suppressing some strange object beneath the throne.

And just the small amount of pressure that overflowed was enough to force the Taiyi Avatar to stop in his tracks for the first time.

"Qilin Dijun, Mo Ancestor Demon Emperor?"

Su Ping recalled the North King Time Domain chronicles he had studied diligently, thinking of an ancient Dijun whose image matched this one.

Rumor had it that this was from an era before the Demon Alliance had been established, the most powerful patriarch in the history of the Qilin race of the Demon Clan.

He was also the first Dijun of the Qilin race recorded to have emerged into the world.

It was just that, according to the records, this Dijun vanished without a trace after suppressing the North King Time Domain for ten thousand years, and the Qilin race subsequently declined, hiding away in their own Dongtian to avoid the world.

Yet, unexpectedly, this top-tier existence of the North King Time Domain had long since died, and it was unknown whether it was his own doing or if some other Great Ability had helped, but after death, his corpse transformed into an existence similar to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

He had become a Seal, suppressing some strangeness deep within this palace.

Su Ping examined this black Qilin, which was still filled with extraordinary charm even after death.

He could not help but suspect in his heart that this one had been used as a Seal.

Then, could the other Dijun whose whereabouts were unknown in the records... also have met a similar fate?
