Chapter 637

Yandi was secretly tallying his little nine-nine.

Concealing her true strength, as the utmost top expert, it was difficult for her at this moment to play the role of a 'weakling'—so lifelike, in a campaign of war and slaughter, though possessing immense, supreme power, she invariably revealed a 'flaw' in inadvertent details, matching the image of a generation's 'fortunate one'.

Having power but insufficient realm… this is an act, using Chi Tie Dasheng's eyes and mouth to tell the demon sovereign behind him!

For this reason, Yandi still suppressed his excitement, choosing not to keep Chi Tie entirely here.

Of course.

It might also be not good to 'forcefully retain' him.

After all, as the Vanguard who first made contact with the Human Sovereign, it's hard to say that Chi Tie Dasheng doesn't have some trump card up his sleeve.

Especially, his vigilance is in the strongest, most cautious state! As expected.

In the next moment, Yandi saw the 'surprise' that Chi Tie brought her.

—Chi Tie Dasheng, daring to challenge the Human Sovereign such a 'boss', is not reckless bravery without brains, but comes prepared!

When assisting the Great Wind Demon God, leading to an already precarious situation where Yandi seized the flaw, sword raised to strike, about to secure victory, Chi Tie Dasheng calmly produced an item, its cold light shining upon the Myriad Heavens!

That was a sword!

—Slay-Witch Sword!

This Yao Marshal actually carried this supreme sword artifact, bearing the sins and evil of the human Dao, making it the most terrifying sword artifact of the present age!

Before this, the sword had always been in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

But now, it has appeared on this battlefield!

As the saying goes, 'A glimpse through a tube reveals a leopard'; from the distant horizon, the Supreme Emperor Di Jun of the Demon Court shows no slight contempt for humanity.

He finds it inconvenient to enter the fray himself, to gauge the Human Sovereign's abilities at peak form, yet he lets his subordinate Yao Marshal generals carry the Demon Court's supreme treasure!

This truly exceeds ordinary expectations, yet it is sufficient to ensure Chi Tie Dasheng's safety, inadvertently preventing many accidents from occurring.

When this sword appears, it means this encounter battle will draw to a close.

Chi Tie Dasheng has already probed and obtained the most important information; it is time to retreat.

After all, if the delay were prolonged, perhaps some passing 'good Samaritans' might join forces, knock Chi Tie Dasheng over with a brick, and meanwhile seize the Slay-Witch Divine Sword.

"How bold is Di Jun?" Yandi's eyes held three parts fervor, "To actually let you, a lackey, wield this sword—aren't you afraid of losing it?"

"You must know, if he doesn't have a sufficiently weighty incarnation here, if the Slay-Witch Sword is lost… it might truly be lost!"

Yandi suddenly felt inclined to change his mind.

"Our sovereign's divine plans and strategic scheming have their own principles; how could you, a mere child, comprehend them?"

Chi Tie Dasheng spoke coldly, then the divine sword rose, tip pointing to the heavens; in this instant, supreme law and supreme majesty spread, belonging to the demons! "Human Sovereign!"

Chi Tie the Yao Marshal's voice suddenly became ethereal, hard to fathom: "Today, you shall come taste a bit of our Heavenly Court's divine might!"

At this time.

At this moment.

Chi Tie the Yao Marshal, he is no longer fighting alone, but fighting on behalf of the entire Demon Race, on behalf of the entire heaven and earth that can be considered the orthodox Demon Court!

A decree, inscribed with "As if I myself were present", wrapped around the hilt of the Slay-Witch Sword, became Chi Tie Dasheng's qualification to wield it; he gripped the sword tightly and struck hard, cutting through time, cutting through eternity! "Boom!"

An aura of supreme exaltation, divine and holy, spread; this is the power of the human Dao being drawn forth, evolving into the law of the Demon Race civilization, a brilliant radiance of an entire civilization, a splendid sword of the human Dao! Yandi was moved.

The human divine generals were shocked.

At this moment, reflected in their eyes, that sword was no longer a sword, but seemed like the will of the entire Demon Race, pressing down! In a daze, through this sword they saw countless heavenly demons and myriad races' silhouettes emerge, jointly enacting the splendor of life; those countless beings with ox heads, horse heads, dog heads, cat ears, and so on, together built social forms, cultivated together, and together acknowledged the brutal savagery of the hunt, blending and forging a cultivation civilization that accommodates all races—the Demon Civilization!

The power of a civilization—how great it is!

From the Demon Sovereign above to the lowly ant below.

All-encompassing, all-accepting.

Even if here there is only this sword artifact, symbolizing its righteousness, merely imitating and borrowing the momentum of the entire civilization, enacting a law and will……

That too will inevitably be an unimaginable impact and carnage! When the light of the Slay-Witch Sword blazed, many human Luo Divine Generals changed color… This sword is like an inescapable vortex, trapping their consciousness in an inescapable predicament, unable to break free in haste, as if heaven and earth cannot escape its slaughter.

Know this: they are not the targets of the strike; Yandi is!

As aftermath, they find it hard to bear… it's hard to imagine how arduous it will be for Yandi, the target of the strike.

At the same moment.

Chonghua lightly withdrew his gaze from the 'vortex', casually looking toward Yandi, his eyes flickering, observing the Human Sovereign's performance at close range.

He is the reserve arranged by the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

He is the key to ensuring the Slay-Witch Sword is not lost.

He is the one who records the most genuine data information.

Chi Tie the Yao Marshal?

But merely a pawn placed openly to run errands.

The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun trusts his own eyes more, to discern truth from falsehood.

This makes one cannot help but sigh.

These days, too many wolves who like to fish have perished.

Each of them is a king of tactics; you stand on the third tier, I strive to reach the fourth… if possible, we might even consider the atmospheric layer!

"Let me just take a look…"

"In peril, just how true are your abilities, Human Sovereign?"

"Under the Slay-Witch Sword, what can you do?"

In the unseen, the sovereign standing behind Chonghua silently scrutinized and paid attention; Yandi's counterattack gave him an answer.

That was a reasonable and proper performance; everything seemed just right, perfectly matching the outward trajectory of Human Sovereign Fengxi's first half of life, all of which stands up to scrutiny.

—When the Slay-Witch Sword descended, an entire ancient Demon Civilization impact crushed down; Yandi abruptly sheathed his sword, palms together, then opened them to reveal a blazing, most heart‑warming flame! That… is the Holy Fire! This is the Dao that Fengxi once manifested outwardly.

He rose at Kunlun, as the Games began, he started propaganda and promotion, expounding a spirit and concept.

That is equality, non-discrimination, mutual understanding, friendship, unity, and fair competition…… Compared to the civilization of the Demon Race, there is a concept that slightly surpasses it, to some extent dismantling the law of the jungle! Although in actual practice, there may be a few minor issues; some planners have done a lot of work sowing discord, really putting eye drops on the Demon Emperor and Yao Marshal.

But the slogan is exactly like that! Later, the holy fire blazed, spreading among humanity, coinciding with humanity's path, becoming the slogan and proof for humanity to lead all races——

Based on the principle of mutual benefit, the idea of seeking common ground while reserving differences, humanity is willing to take the stance of an elder brother, driving the shared prosperity and development of the entire human Dao, all living beings, and myriad races, rather than the absolute tyranny of the law of the jungle enforced by the Monster Clan Heavenly Court! From that day onward, the Dao of the holy fire is also humanity's Dao! Now.

Yandi summoned a spark of the holy fire's source from thin air, carrying it on his own path, subtly blending in a hint of her virtue of bearing blessings; amidst the blazing flames, he swept toward the fallen Slaughter‑Witch God Sword, seeking to inversely erode the nation of the Demon Race's civilization that it unfolds, turning it into firewood to burn and assimilate! Human Dao ought to be ever advancing, ever sublimating…… Nobles and generals, what seed could they have!

The temporary strengths and weaknesses of races cannot become an eternal fixation; everything ought to be changeable!

Whoever obstructs will turn to ash in the revolutionary blaze, scattered amidst the vast rivers and mountains!

Boom!

Yandi, bare-handed, with a fist wrapped in a holy‑fire‑condensed gauntlet, struck out fiercely, slamming onto the edge of the Slaughter‑Witch Sword, thereby erupting with world‑shocking calamitous light that halted a stretch of time! The human Dao seethed; supreme power roared and shook; the present‑day Great Luo beings all felt it, their hearts pounding as they gazed upon the battlefield's conquest, sensing two irresistible forces sweeping across.

Having reached such a level of combat, it is no longer merely a petty clash of laws and the Great Dao, but an ultimate collision of paths, a dispute spanning the ages, from past to future, deciding the very direction of Honghuang's advancement; even the Three Thousand Great Daos are but insignificant pawns in the game! Humanity, remold heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth, because of the existence of the human Dao, break free from the chaotic, unchanging pattern, and thereafter become rich and varied.

Therefore, although heaven and earth are vast and boundless, compared to the human Dao's conquest and slaughter, they momentarily become secondary.

When heaven harbors killing intent, one must shift stars and change lodgings; when earth harbors killing intent, only dragons and snakes stir on land; but only when humanity harbors killing intent can it make heaven and earth overturn! At this very moment, it is the outbreak of killing intent in the human Dao, causing Honghuang to sense, heaven and earth tremble, blood rain and golden lotus descend together—a great terror, yet also the dawn's glimmer.

The Iron‑gnawing Great Sage roared, burning his own divine blood, dyeing the Slaughter‑Witch God Sword red; the ancient divine holy witness of history's changes let the Demon Race's civilization's aspect become weathered and heavy, turning into a mighty tide; furthermore, the mysterious rite of blood sacrifice awakened the sword's essence—this was originally a weapon forged of sin and evil! "Suppress!"

Suppress!

Suppress!

Amid the trembling of the Slaughter‑Witch Sword, a peerless blade‑light suddenly flared, nearly overwhelming the burning holy fire.

What nobles and generals, what seed could they have…… all are empty!

Only the strong remain strong, the weak remain weak! The law of the jungle is natural and just…… If one dares to resist, they will carry out extermination, slaughtering until heaven and earth run red, killing all who refuse! Even the hardest knee, the most unyielding spine, will be beaten down and bent! The weak can never accomplish anything! "So, I have come!"

Yandi seemingly sensed, crossing boundless time and space, through a Slaughter‑Witch Sword, conversing with the entirety of the Demon Race's civilization, conversing with the very architects of that civilization.

He is heroic and stalwart; at this moment he bears an unsurpassed demeanor, an ineffable personal charm, the great fearlessness to resist injustice and uphold justice.

We have come.

Yandi seemed to be repeating, yet also emphasizing.

Following his heart and his thought, the soon‑to‑be‑extinguished holy fire is rekindled…… A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Yandi's calm and composed punch—at this instant he seemed to throw a single punch, yet also as if he threw ten million punches—blasted onto the suddenly erupting blade‑light of the Slaughter‑Witch Sword; amidst a dazzling, blinding brilliance that could not be stared at, he bent the sword weapon backward in flight, even faintly cracking it! Iron‑gnawing Yao Marshal likewise suffered miserably in this process…… a portion of the sword's qi ripple washed over him, injuring him so severely that he was nearly hacked to pieces, with not a single spot unscathed, leaving horrendous wounds.

Of course, to achieve such a battle record, Yandi also paid the price of blood.

On the fist that struck the Slaughter‑Witch Sword, fresh blood dripped, falling to the mortal realm.

The might of the Slaughter‑Witch Sword is evident to all.

To contend with such a weapon, sacrifice is naturally required.

Perhaps only thus can one overturn the civilization and path represented behind this sword.

——Only with abundant sacrifice and lofty ambition can one dare to call for a new heaven and earth!

A road stained with blood, a bearing stained with blood.

Yandi·Nüwa, never fearful.

This is not all of her inner voice, but it is also a very important part.

In fact, she once held great hopes for both all living beings and the Demon Race.

After all……

In the birth and propagation of all living beings, she had contributed too much, thus being revered as the Holy Mother by all living beings! Between the strong and weak races, she truly hoped for peaceful coexistence, mutual unity and love…… allowing competition, but not wishing for oppression; allowing encouragement, but not wanting to see slavery.

Because…… the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh! Who would favor a child just because he can earn money? Or trample a child born with disability everywhere? Perhaps some moderates are like that, leaning toward heartless indifference.

But Nüwa……

This is the conscience and integrity of the Feng family! Her original intention is goodness, unchanging through myriad ages! She truly wished to care for the weak, treating all equally in matters of right and wrong, hoping that all living beings could love one another and stand united.

Only.

Reality has mountain after mountain blocking her path, preventing her aspirations from unfolding, trapping her in the situation.

From that moment on, she conceived the idea to smash this game, to call for a change of heaven and earth, so that her intentions could no longer be bound! Nüwa, she possesses sufficient firm resolve, seeking to overturn the eternal strong‑weak rule, rejecting the fixation of social strata.

Likewise.

It is precisely because of this conviction that she would raise the banner of rebellion at home.

——If one cannot sweep a single room, how can they sweep the world? ——First rebel against Fuxi; in the household I am king!

Nüwa's rebellion is precisely her refusal to accept fate.

Extending this, she hopes that all living beings under heaven can, like her, use the most resolute heart to shatter every shackle!

Even if this process may involve countless sacrifices.

But……

Alongside sacrifice, there is also recognition.

This is not one person's undertaking, but the shared endeavor of countless living beings under heaven! I for all, all for I! She leads the charge, calling for a new heaven and earth! In return, the myriad beings embody her as Pangu! (End of chapter)
