Chapter 613

"Beast! How dare you!"

Fuxi, who was beside Di Jun, changed expression, and the Fuxi Qin in his hand was instantly plucked, sending out waves of sound imbued with the ultimate truth of the Eight Trigrams, which solidified into a sturdy barrier, attempting to block.

However, as the fist imprint descended, the barrier shattered like paper!

It was clear that the fist imprint was about to smash into the Nine Dragons Sandalwood Palanquin.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from within the palanquin.

Di Jun's towering figure appeared before the palanquin.

He pointed his right hand's index and middle fingers together like a sword, and lightly tapped at the oncoming fist imprint.

A thread of solar true fire, condensed to the utmost, shot from his fingertip.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only silent annihilation.

The terrifying fist imprint, capable of heavily injuring an ordinary Quasi-Sage, melted like ice and snow under the solar true fire.

"The power of an early-stage Quasi-Sage, combined with a fleshly body comparable to an Innate Spiritual Treasure... Minghe, you are willing to spend the cost."

Di Jun gazed at the newly born blood demon, his eyes icy cold.

He knew that ordinary monster sages were no longer a match for this monster.

"Your Majesty, let me come!"

Qin Yuan, one of the Ten Great Monster Sages, a monster sage who cultivated the poison laws in the form of a hummingbird, volunteered.

He transformed into a streak of flowing light, his wings vibrating, as billions of poison-coated divine needles shot toward the blood demon like a torrential rain.

However, the blood demon merely raised its arm, allowing the divine needles to strike its body.

"Ding ding dang ding!"

A sound of metal clashing rang out; the divine needles, capable of poisoning a Great Luo Golden Immortal, could not even pierce the blood demon's bone armor.

The blood demon backhanded a palm strike.

Qin Yuan's monster sage visage drastically changed, wanting to dodge, but found the surrounding space sealed by an invisible force.

"Pfft!"

A muffled sound echoed; Qin Yuan's monster sage, like a mosquito struck by a flyswatter, had half his body blasted into blood mist, screaming as he was flung backward.

One move, heavily injuring a peak Great Luo monster sage!

The entire monster army erupted in commotion.

"Hahaha! Di Jun! Do you see? This, is the gift I prepared for you!" Minghe's mad laughter rang out again, "Before this 'Asura Demon God' of mine, your so-called monster sages are nothing but chickens and dogs!"

On the Nine Dragons Sandalwood Palanquin.

Di Jun's face was as still as water, his golden imperial eyes coldly gazing down at the chaotic battlefield stirred by the Quasi-Sage blood demon below.

The monster sage Qin Yuan was heavily injured in one move, and the remaining monster sages, even joining forces, could barely restrain it.

This monster, birthed by Minghe's sacrifice of millions of clansmen, had already stepped into the Quasi-Sage realm; only beings of a different level could contend with it.

Di Jun's right hand had already gripped the hilt of the Imperial Sword, his entire body emanating the terrifying aura of a mid-stage Quasi-Sage, ready to stir.

He could of course personally descend, using thunderous force to slay this beast.

But, he is the Monster Clan's Heavenly Emperor.

King against king.

General against general.

The people below, if they die, they die; the monster clan has a vast foundation, the fall of monster sages is painful but does not shake the foundation.

Yet if he were to make even the slightest mistake, the entire Monster Clan Heavenly Court would truly be finished.

As he weighed the pros and cons, calculating the price needed to utterly erase this blood demon, a utterly different aura rose from the distant Western Wasteland.

That aura was vast and pure, brimming with vigorous vitality, like the first ray of spring sunlight piercing through endless karmic black mist; like the first sweet rain on parched earth, washing away the torrential blood and resentment.

"Hmm?"

Di Jun raised his brow, following the aura. He saw a figure slowly rising from the land that had just experienced bloody slaughter, wearing simple hemp clothes, with a clean yet resolute face, cultivation only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Human?"

Di Jun was first startled, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes.

On such a battlefield, what is a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal human doing here? Seeking death?

However, when his gaze fell upon the emerald-green vine in the opponent's hand, Di Jun's pupils suddenly contracted!

【Human Creation Whip】!

The Postnatal First Merit Treasure bestowed by the Saint Nüwa herself!

In the blink of an eye, the profound schemes of his younger brother Gu Yuan within the Donghuang Palace surged into his mind like a tide.

"Establish the Human Teaching, grasp the Human Dao..."

"The Saint Nüwa will intervene..."

"We only need to spread the news of Asura slaughtering the human race throughout the entire Wasteland..."

Ah, now I understand!

This is the true hidden hand!

The killing intent and solemnity in Di Jun's eyes instantly faded, replaced by an unprecedented brilliant radiance!

He understood, he understood everything!

He no longer needed to personally descend and risk himself; the pieces he had set were already walking onto the board on their own!

His younger brother's chessboard was never just about the monster and witch clans!

He had factored in the future protagonists of heaven and earth!

"What a magnificent Donghuang! What a magnificent Taiyi!"

Even Fuxi, upon seeing Cangjie holding the Human Creation Whip appear at that moment, was also shaken in mind and spirit, and could not help but clap his hands in praise.

Such scheming is truly unfathomable to gods and ghosts!

On the Blood Sea, Minghe also noticed Cangjie.

"A human? A Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

He first sneered contemptuously, but when his gaze fell upon the Human Creation Whip in Cangjie's hand, that smile instantly froze.

"Human Creation Whip?! Nüwa's Supreme Treasure of Merit and Virtue?!"

An ominous premonition surged wildly from the depths of Minghe's heart.

He could not understand why Nüwa would give such a holy object to a mere human tribe!

Cangjie paid no heed to anyone's gaze.

His clear and resolute eyes were merely fixed firmly upon the Quasi-Sage Blood Demon that had just heavily wounded Qin Yuan.

In his eyes, there was no fear, only a deep hatred as vast as the Blood Sea.

The "Rock" tribe, the "Water" tribe, the "Wood" tribe...

The fifty tribes that were slaughtered, the millions of tribespeople who died miserably, the desperate cries of children before death—like a divine imprint, were etched deep into his soul.

"In... the name of the human way!"

Cangjie's voice, hoarse yet firm, spread through the entire battlefield via magical power.

"Attack! Blood! Debt!"

The words fell, and the Human Creation Whip in his hand lashed out violently!

Buzz——

There was no fluctuation of law, no surge of immortal essence.

Only a path of pure, extreme emerald divine light lit up from the whip's tip.

Within that divine light, it seemed as if millions of human figures appeared, praying, shouting.

This is the indomitable will of humanity!

This is the furious roar of a newly born race!

"Roar?"

The Quasi-Sage Blood Demon also seemed to sense the threat, its hollow eyes turning toward Cangjie, emitting a doubtful low growl.

In its pure instinct of slaughter, this weak living being before it actually made it feel a trace of unease.

It abandoned the pursuit of Qin Yuan, its six bone wings flaring violently, transforming into a bolt of blood-colored lightning, charging toward Cangjie with a fist!

This punch was even more violent than when it attacked Di Jun before!

Before the fist even arrived, the karmic storm capable of tearing a Quasi-Sage's Dao body had already swept toward him.

Facing this heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating blow, Cangjie did not dodge or evade.

He merely swung the Human Creation Whip in his hand to meet that fist, lashing out fiercely!

Crack!!!

A clear sound, as if a whip striking leather, echoed through heaven and earth!
