Chapter 192: with translation of chapter title

Demon Ancestor Rahu, this is the calamity number of Honghuang, it is the disaster of the epoch.

In all kinds of legends, he always appears as a background figure who, by being just a little short, achieves the accomplishment of destroying Honghuang.

What kind of concept is this?!

Unimaginable.

In the case where every Great Luo possesses boundless spacetime eternal and free authority, this demon ancestor can accomplish such a feat……

Unbelievable! Fengxi, in this era, felt the traces of suspicion that the Wu Clan's ancestral witches were active by changing their guises, and many heavenly intentions galloped across the stage of the era…… one proof, eternal proof; one achievement, eternal achievement, there exists no weakness that can be targeted.

Just imagine.

The Wu Clan's Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Demon Race's demon gods and Yao Marshals, Xihuang and Nüwa, the Dao Ancestor and the Three Pure Ones…… even if there is hegemonic struggle, no one ever thought of actively destroying the world; at best they can be said to be lawful-sided great divine abilities, and they count as forces capable of protecting the Honghuang universe.

Yet such a luxurious lineup was almost pierced through single-handedly by the demon ancestor Rahu; Fengxi could not help but marvel.

——This is almost on par with Pangu the Great God's achievements.

Pangu, with over three thousand god-slayings, single-handedly ended the order of all former eras and opened up a brand-new era pattern!

What kind of mighty being is this exactly?

Fengxi stared into the depths of the starry sky without blinking.

There, a supreme titan bled to death, having reached the end of life.

——He was the highest leader of the Dragon clan's faction.

I hate it!

The ancestral dragon roared in grief and anger.

In the next instant, that huge dragon head was severed, and endless blood rain poured across the Honghuang continent.

In the blood water, there was a hint of xuanhuang color.

——The dragon battles in the field, its blood is xuanhuang!

Dragon blood flowed freely between heaven and earth, flowing into the ages.

Fengxi hid beneath the pillar of Mount Buzhou, and incidentally collected a little bit of dragon blood, unknown how many times it had been diluted.

Of course, he wouldn't dare to take any more.

Supreme beings all died in battle between heaven and earth; normally the lofty heavenly-intent management also died in droves, and at this time the Honghuang universe was permeated with terrifying Great Luo attack remnants…… amidst the vast mountains and rivers, countless beings didn't even have time to send out a cry for help before tragically perishing, dying beneath the terrifying Dao waves.

Only this region of Mount Buzhou could barely remain safe.

This divine mountain emanated mysterious power, neutralizing the shockwaves that reached here, allowing Fengxi to watch the show in peace.

Otherwise, he would have long ago sincerely summoned Ancestral Witch Houtu and fled posthaste.

Rather than risking it to become a battlefield journalist and personally witness ancient history.

Precisely because he witnessed history, he came to know some secrets, letting many of his doubts be resolved.

For example——

Why have morals declined and hearts become unvirtuous? Who has corrupted the entire Honghuang universe's Great Luo Supreme Emperors and the camp of innate divinities? Fengxi's personal experience on Kunlun Mountain, facing the endless wicked tactics of those high-ranking demon clans…… proves that many Great Luos are not pure at all.

This also made him greatly doubt the content described in Báizé's *Honghuang Chronicles*; he looked at almost every word with a skeptical eye.

What innate divinities, born with noble character, flawless divine nature, sublime goodness……

Were it not for fear of being slapped to death one day for no reason, Fengxi would publish a book, writing his reflections on the *Honghuang Chronicles* to satirize a bit.

However, having been sent by Ancestral Witch Houtu to this ancient epoch, and inferring from battlefield performance, he found that the praiseworthy words written in the *Honghuang Chronicles* might actually be true.

But then, a problem arises——

Who, then, is the one causing this transformation, someone among the pure and righteous innate divinities having fallen, taken the evil path, and become black-hearted and scheming?

The answer appeared at the moment the Dragon-Phoenix epoch came to an end……

……

"How is this possible?! Why would it be like this……"

A great divine ability uttered a tragic, mournful cry, disbelief and despair filling his voice.

He was shattered by a sword light, his immortal body broken, his innate indestructible spirit struggling to escape.

But under the vast formation's power that enveloped heaven and earth and covered the ages, where could he flee to?

Finally, he uttered a feeble doubt, pouring out the confusion in his heart.

"How could the course of everything turn out like this……"

This is not just his confusion alone.

It is the confusion of all who participated in the Dragon-Phoenix era, vying for hegemony, yet at the critical moment were nearly all wiped out among the great divine abilities.

That expression of confusion and those questioning voices could infect countless beings who reversed time to reach this epoch, affecting their emotions and giving them a feeling of shared empathy.

"Hahaha……"

A demonic burst of laughter suddenly rang out, shaking the entire era.

Upon the vast Suiyue Changhe, at some unknown time a pitch-black, boundless demonic shadow manifested.

Accompanying His appearance, stretch after stretch of river was dyed with darkness.

"Let me tell you the answer."

"It is me…… I myself personally directed all of this."

A towering figure, as if towering above all of Honghuang, transcending eternity, is the supreme sovereign.

When He descends, when His true form appears, heaven and earth, all Dao, past, present and future, inexplicably resonate, chanting a name, a title.

"Rahu!"

"Rahu!"

"Rahu!"

The aura of destruction boiled over; countless spacetimes, boundless worlds, from this moment began to compose death and destruction, all combinations of the Great Dao's laws shifting from order to chaos, evolving toward the ultimate Chaos.

Upon hearing this name, without anyone explaining, all beings naturally felt an awakening in their hearts, knowing this was a supreme demon, the bearer of the legacy of all slain demon gods of Chaos, the grudge-bearer of the Honghuang universe, the ultimate demon ancestor of annihilation.

The demon ancestor of annihilation—Luo Hou! He bore the wish of the former Chaos demon gods, seeking to gather all endless spacetime and every variable, returning them to Chaos……and at this moment he also truly accomplished it.

The demon ancestor's might, unmatched under heaven! He made all beings despair, made myriad races collapse, made the gods fall silent……is the synonym for invincibility.

"After countless years of lying in wait, painstakingly cultivating, secretly arranging……ah, finally it has let us reach this day of harvest."

The demon ancestor's soft words fell upon the ears of the surviving gods still alive, yet they were like thunderbolts stirring.

Some clever and astute Great Luo beings were stunned for a moment, then realized what it was.

Their somewhat astonished and doubtful voices rose high, "Lying in wait, cultivating, arranging……and so on!"

"In past ages, I always felt something was off……the causes of many battles were inexplicable, a trivial little matter's friction, unnoticed, would expand, eventually sweeping both sides into it, forcing us into a death struggle……"

"Sometimes, before we could fully investigate, the next battle would erupt……ultimately all kinds of life-and-death grudges piled up, impossible to resolve……"

"Hahaha……your minds aren't slow." Luo Hou the demon ancestor chuckled lowly, "Not bad, exactly my means." "Back then, you primordial gods originally formed a great alliance, suppressed the Ferocious Beast Great Tribulation, expended heart and blood wisdom to slay the supreme beast emperor—Shen Ni, and could have right there formed the supreme organization governing Honghuang."

"Even if there are differing views, many problems aren't impossible to discuss and make do with, using time to resolve contradictions."

"But why, in the end, did we completely break ties? Resort to force?"

Luo Hou the demon ancestor gave a light smile.

Some ancient Great Luo beings who had personally experienced that event, with past scenes vivid in mind, frowned.

After receiving the hint, many things were caught as doubtful points.

Facing the astonished gazes of the gods, the demon ancestor's laughter grew increasingly unrestrained and wanton, "Not bad, exactly what I did!"

"I secretly sowed discord, using this seat's profound mysteries of the demonic Dao, transforming into some of you, or planting heart demons, causing incidents, expanding conflicts……do you still wish to unite?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Besides that, the causes of all future great wars were my participation therein, helping you light the fuse!"

Perhaps this demon ancestor, having plotted such a heaven-shaking, earth-moving act, wanted before success to finally confide a bit, sharing with others the joy he had accumulated deep in his heart for years, and thus many inner secrets came forth one after another——these are all his great achievements.

"Originally, even if you broke ties, at most you would each carve out your own territory, run your own endeavors……forces of comparable great size, without special reason, would not completely let go and fight to the death."

"How can this work?"

The demon ancestor gave a low chuckle.

"If you develop in opposition, compete in development, regard the other side as your whetstone, with tacit understanding jointly improving……how could I then carry out the world-ending act, fully perfecting this seat's Dao of Destruction?"

Luo Hou said, with a sigh.

The Great Luo gods of this era, though not versed in scheming and plots, are not stupid.

Even the most basic weighing of pros and cons will never go wrong.

Contending for supremacy over Honghuang is certainly tempting……but if not especially rushing time, slowly farming and developing would also be good, right? While everyone mutually wary, they could also take the opponent as the best whetstone for competition and self-motivation, compelling oneself to strive harder.

Thus, unless there is a good plan that can avoid heavily damaging our side's vital energy, so that the Great Luo under our command won't bear too great a death risk……otherwise they would not easily go to war.

Yet this not going to war is what makes the demon ancestor anxious at heart.

How can this work? Therefore, following the division and dissolution of the primordial gods' great alliance that had suppressed the Ferocious Beast Great Tribulation, making the dragon and phoenix two major factions oppose each other, he then continued his advance, putting eye drops in the eyes of the high-level officials on both sides, making them view each other as enemies, erupting one fierce battle after another, ultimately forming a deep grudge in the Sea of Blood.

The demon ancestor's scheming is inconceivable!

"The bloody incident on Kunlun Mountain, was it you who did it?"

Fengxi's familiar Three Pure Ones Heavenly Lord now stepped forth, speaking tremulously.

"That's right."

Luo Hou spoke candidly.

The Morality Heavenly Lord was fine, but the Yuanshi and Lingbao Heavenly Lords closed their eyes, tears of blood streaming from the corners.

"On my Mount Sumeru, that solemn great tribulation, a thousand Buddhas extinguished……"

Among the remnant gods who spontaneously banded together, a bald head emerged, trembling as he asked.

"That's right, it was I who designed it."

Luo Hou spoke slowly, "From the acquired dragon clan's conflict with your Dao lineage, to the flooding of Mount Sumeru, to subduing the Eight Heavenly Dragon Divisions, finally your Pure Land Buddhist Realm perished……all are due to this seat manipulating people's hearts, giving rise to this series of grand dramas."

One Great Luo powerhouse after another dug up from their own memories the past memories etched into their bones.

And many doubts in those memories have now been acknowledged by the mouth of the demon ancestor Luo Hou.

Exactly!

All of it was done by him!

If we were to calculate the sin values of all Great Luo-level beings in the entire Honghuang world.

The world's sins total eight dou; the demon ancestor alone occupies one stone, while the remaining primordial gods together owe two dou——

At the very least, this was the case before entering the Lich Great Tribulation.

"You're despicable!"

"You're shameless!"

The holy Nüwa, whom even washing the ground couldn't cleanse, now stepped forth, accusing the demon ancestor's vile and despicable methods.

This is the shared sentiment of all gods.

Too despicable!

"Hehe... 'To the victor go the spoils,' the demon ancestor said indifferently, 'What's wrong with being despicable?'"

"Only the victor has the qualification to write history."

"Wait until this seat suppresses you all, destroys the Honghuang universe……then, following Pangu's example, in the midst of destroyed chaos, open up a brand-new world, inaugurate a new era; I will help continue your legends."

"But, everything will have changed faces."

At that time, you all became the greatest evil and darkness—insane and indifferent to all living beings under heaven—for the sake of heaven-and-earth hegemony……

Thereafter, I emerged in accordance with the times, wielding the sword of slaughter with supremely pure and holy spirit, to slay you for the sake of heaven-and-earth righteousness…… Finally, bearing the doomed Honghuang, embracing all, I underwent rebirth in the midst of destructive calamity, rising anew from destruction.

Luo Hu revealed his plan.

He has already written the script.

And this shameless countenance also thoroughly shocked all the remaining innate deities here, causing their honest and pure spirits to suffer an unprecedented blow.

"Deceitful and cunning to this extent..." a splendid phoenix coughed blood, "Your power is so great, no one in the present age can rival you; why do this... relying on your strength, if you wish to become the leader of the gods, it is quite possible..."

"Because my the Great Dao is utter destruction!" Rahu's mouth curled, "Leader of the gods? So what!"

"Moreover, I bear the grudge of the three thousand demon gods of Chaos; I was born as the calamity of Honghuang... but Pangu is simply too strong."

The demon ancestor sighed, "I have gathered the Dao of the three thousand demon gods, while you are equivalent to the essence of Pangu's body split into thousands... this back and forth, there is a great gap; in cultivation I can look down upon, yet I am still short of invincibility."

"Individually, you are nothing to worry about." Rahu sighed, "But when you band together, you are quite formidable."

"The Great Alliance of Innate Deities, I must avoid its sharp edge."

"Even if split into two factions, I still cannot defeat them."

"So, I had no choice but to design it so that you would kill each other, then at the last moment I could swoop in for the spoils."

"Fortunately, I have waited until this day."

Rahu slowly exhaled a breath.

"Managing the situation, I have driven you to the most brutal final battle, the top mighty ones each wounded, the remaining Golden Immortals half-dead."

"Then, with easy crushing, I directly slaughtered more than half."

"Only you lot remain, still stubbornly standing."

"But how long can you endure within my sword formation?"

The demon ancestor revealed a smug, satisfied smile.
