Chapter 763: with translation of chapter title

Kui Ox demon god, acting on the Heavenly Court's demon emperor's orders, marched to the Eastern Sea, stationed at Flowing Wave Mountain, intending to utterly annihilate the dragon clan, once a mighty and dominant clan in this world!

Kui Ox Great Sage

For it knows well how terrifying the dragon clan is…… This mighty clan, despite repeated setbacks, even in the ancient Dragon-Phoenix era, suffered large-scale slaughter at the hands of the demon ancestor Rahu.

But in the end, it stubbornly survived, and even today it has returned to the board of human affairs, becoming a player!

Such tenacity and resilience astonished the ancient gods, gave the demon emperor pause, and he decided to treat it as a top‑tier opponent——

the Heavenly Court

East Sea

Flowing Wave Mountain

Compared to the human race's shapeshifting methods, the dragon clan's assimilative power over the demon race is too strong, and from beginning to end there has always been the potential to turn the tables.

The Dragon Ancestor, Azure Dragon, inscribed the art of becoming a dragon within the human realm; any willing spirit can embark on this path, needing no haste, can proceed slowly—today a few more dragon scales, tomorrow two more dragon whiskers… if not yet a dragon, one can first become a jiao dragon, and among jiao dragons there are three, five, seven ranks, always with a goal before you, until one incarnates as a true dragon.

Dragon Ancestor Great Sage

Rahu Demon Ancestor

So perfect that it even provoked heaven's envy—the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who oversees the Heavenly Dao, is wary; wary that once the dragon clan gains the mandate representing all worldly beings, Azure Dragon Great Sage could immediately secure the Heavenly Emperor's throne and, in a backhand move, cast down the Heavenly Dao itself!

Objectively speaking, the dragon clan is the innate royal house of the demon race!

Had it not been for the Dragon Ancestor's overly grand ambition and stubbornness, refusing any compromise, not letting Hongjun the old man finish handing over duties, escaping the miserable grind of a worker to become Dao and attain Pangu… he ought to have become a perfect, supreme demon emperor.

the Great Dao

The Dragon Ancestor unwilling to sit in a row and share the fruit, he wanted to personally pluck the victory's fruit and give those who had once trapped him in misery a taste of their own medicine……

Thus he missed the chance to stand beside the demon emperor, and reluctantly he took a stake in the Wu Clan.

But no matter what, this does not diminish the dragon clan's threat to the Heavenly Court…… In bloodline it is naturally exalted, possessing an extremely terrifying assimilative power over all demons of the world.

Not to mention the incredible cohesion of their thoughts!

The Heavenly Emperor plotted the divine race, trying to fracture and undermine the dragon clan's ideological path…… Yet even when the Dragon Ancestor himself had fallen, the clan still upheld the core of great unity, and was willing to sacrifice and devote itself for that core, etched into its bones! Into its blood!

To resist foreign invasion, long separation must end in reunion, survival and continuity ebb and flow…… The ever‑changing camps vie for hegemony, while the dragon clan remains an immovable player on the board!

"We cannot rule them; in the short term we cannot convert the dragon clan into our power."

"If that's the case…… then let's just kill them."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed over the ages and issued the order to exterminate them completely.

Forbidden Technique

Wu Zhiqi patrols the Eastern Barbarians, pursuing and exterminating the remnants of the Dragon Master's main force after its collapse.

The Kui Ox, meanwhile, holds sway over the Eastern Sea, unleashing slaughter, utterly eradicating the dragon clan's original homeland!

Xuanming True Water

A piercing blade‑light swept across the vista of the azure sea—this is the Kui Ox Great Sage wielding his blade.

When he suppressed and shattered the ancient true dragon of the Daluo realm that had charged forward drenched in blood, its vivid crimson dragon blood turned into a blood‑rain that shrouded the sky, lending this azure sea a hue of sorrow and grief; yet his killing stride did not cease, but grew ever more frenzied.

A life‑bonded thunder‑god blade leapt into appearance, landing in the Kui Ox's hand, enacting the ultimate offensive forbidden art, enabling even swifter extermination of dragonkind…… Slaughter, too, has skill and method.

How to slaughter more efficiently, how to deploy forces more effectively—this is a field of study.

The blade's radiance rends eternity; its attack power can be called world‑shaking, severing strand after strand of Great Dao rules, breaking through all manner of tangible and intangible laws, even reaching into the nebulous concepts of the unseen.

For example, "the dragon race!"

Kui Niu Great Saint slashed the vast sea with his blade, thereby slashing every dragon kind in this boundless ocean; following causality, he locked onto the dragon race's unique, exclusive rule imprint and launched an indiscriminate strike.

"Splash—!"

The Eastern Sea turned crimson for a moment; countless blood waters "gurgle-gurgle" surged up from the deep, accompanied by the broken corpses of dragon kinds... Too many, too many living beings perished and fell.

Lacking top-tier experts to hold the line, all skilled mighty ones were trapped and slaughtered by the Heavenly Court's scheme; although the dragon race makes the four seas its home, with vast numbers and ample reserves, what good is that?

When the enemy studies the source of life, employs suppressive means that spread like a plague, targeting races and clans for extermination, it becomes one stretch of death after another.

In this process, there are indeed true dragons resisting... They know the situation is collapsing, they cannot withstand the Heavenly Court's enemy; going up would be suicide. Originally they strived to lie low, concealing their forms and existence, avoiding pointless sacrifice, to endure this most difficult period, awaiting the return of the dragon ancestor.

Unfortunately, when they watched their kin and proto-kin being slaughtered helplessly, they could no longer stand by; even knowing it meant death, they would spill blood on Kui Niu, and in passing create even a sliver of hope for the weak among their kin.

"Crack!"

A great spear thrust out, cleaving the mountain ranges, turning Flowing Wave Mountain into a scorched wasteland.

"Buzz—!"

The Heavenly One's true water surged, the Profound Darkness' true water flowed; the two great primordial true waters expounded the principles of the water Dao, nurturing all things and also freezing spacetime.

…

Several true dragons rose up together and launched a death-defying charge.

"You finally stopped hiding your heads and tails!"

Kui Niu Great Saint burst into loud laughter, "A counterattack against me?"

"Too bad!"

"With you lot, it's still far from enough!"

Kui Niu gave a soft shout, his blade light at this moment becoming extraordinarily brilliant and surging, as if some eternal concept between heaven and earth manifested here as a tangible, flawless form, vibrating the pulsations of the Honghuang myriad worlds; in that instant's blossoming lay supreme sublimation, transcending all manner of power.

This blade, stunning through the ages.

"Setting aside stance and nature, Kui Niu Great Saint's combat prowess lives up to his position."

"Crack!"

Heaven and earth, the mysterious and yellow; the universe, Honghuang, shatter here!

With a single blade, it seemed as if he had slain the Myriad Heavens, destroyed the ancient order that had endured since time immemorial—such was its terror.

In the tremendous upheaval of the vast sea, several true dragons exploded, their bodies cleaved instantly, unable to fight back... Their remains torn apart, before they could reassemble and fight again, Kui Niu Great Saint pressed the attack, slaying them till no corpse remained, leaving only a single strand of indestructible primordial spiritual light standing in the world.

The spiritual light shone, this was their will roaring, mobilizing the boundless incarnations that span infinite spacetime, eternal and free, of self and other, a vast and mighty torrent of magical power, still possessing the power to overturn heaven and earth.

The life level of a Great Luo is too transcendent.

The flesh body is shattered, yet it's still far from the end of life, and can still continue fighting.

However.

Even the flesh body has been utterly destroyed; actually the victory or defeat was already decided…… just unwilling to accept it.

"Useless! Futile!"

Kui Niu Great Saint gave a cold smile: "The Dragon Clan shall perish; nothing can save you!"

He proclaimed the fate of the Dragon Clan.

However, at this very moment——

"Boom—!"

A vast spacetime ripple, transmitted from the Void Heaven, tore open a channel, and an extremely overbearing presence's aura surged forth.

Before the person even arrived, the killing strike had already come!

A strand of Chaos Immortal Thunder burst forth; where its divine might reached, all phenomena of heaven and earth grew faint, and in a haze the ancient Dao pattern manifested, expounding the scene of the unopened heavens and earth, akin to the primordial Chaos Embryo—without qi, without form, without color, without name.

A vague figure, having bound Brahma qi in the Primordial Year, extended to the utmost essence in the Beginning Division, existing and non‑existing, subtle and profound, expounding the ultimate truth of the Mysterious Female.

The Gate of the Mysterious Female—mysterious beyond mysterious, the gate of myriad wonders!

Under the Immortal Thunder, to return heaven and earth to the Primordial Chaos, in order to cast Kui Niu into eternal emptiness!

"Kill!"

A shout burst forth; though it was a female voice, it fully displayed strength, shaking hearts and souls.

Kui Niu, off guard for a moment, instantly suffered a great loss; his Great Dao domain was torn open, and a figure radiating seven‑colored rosy light crashed in, wielding Chaos Immortal Thunder, striking his body.

"Boom!"

"Pfft!"

First, thunder exploded, countless electric lights burst, filling this spacetime…… each beam of electric light possessed boundless power, shining upon the world, piercing the infinite void sea, and proudly proclaiming its existence throughout the Myriad Heavens and myriad worlds.

At this moment, countless mayfly heavens and earth, ancient Myriad Heavens, all underwent strange and splendid celestial transformations, shocking past and present, echoing in ancient history, becoming myth, becoming legend.

The river of time seemed to have dried up because of this!

Overturned, severed!

Then, in a scene like the end of the world, Kui Niu Great Saint suffered extreme severe injuries; although he struggled fiercely and struggled to retaliate, being passively drawn into combat, he was hit by a calculated‑unintentional combo, in the sea of lightning he endured a slaughter like thousands of cuts.

One blood‑filled cavity after another was pierced through, and the demon god's blood sprayed across this vast sea.

"Xi Zi! Xuan Su!"

Kui Niu Great Saint shouted angrily, revealing the identity of the assassin.

"How dare you come here?! Have you abandoned the human race's defenses?!"

Kui Niu, in his shock and anger, was also bewildered.

What time is it now?

The human race had already collapsed the Dragon Master and Bird Master factions, and with the Heavenly Court army pressing the border, how could the human race still dare to deploy such important combat power as the Ancestral Witches abroad?

"That's not something we should worry about……"

Xuan Su Goddess now embodied as the peak war goddess; her opening move was the Thunder Forbidden Technique, which heavily wounded Kui Niu in one blow, then she followed with marvelous techniques, her attacks fleeting like an immortal, relentless in succession, actually pressing down on Kui Niu and beating him, until all things in this place withered and spacetime collapsed.

If speaking of rank, an ordinary Ancestral Witch is on par with a Yao Marshal.

But, same rank is same rank; there is also a difference between veterans and newcomers.

It is obvious that the newly promoted Kui Niu Great Saint, compared to Xuan Su this Ancestral Witch of Xi Zi, still lags far behind!

Plainly visible, as soon as Xuan Su made a move, she seized the initiative; her splendid light flashed continuously, forcing Kui Niu onto the defensive, and finally even split him apart alive!

"How dare you bully me?!"

Kui Niu Yao Marshal roared, blood light bursting and splashing, falling upon heaven and earth, naturally evolving into eerie and terrifying Great Dao runes, spreading without bound…… the more his blood flowed, the more such runes increased, until a certain moment——

"Boom!"

Glorious blood light burst forth; these runes burned, triggering the resonance of the Honghuang cosmos' fundamental Great Dao, manifesting boundless terrifying phenomena, myriad paths striking together, expounding the law of destruction.

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, sun, moon…… the six phenomena revolve, all showing signs of destruction!

At this moment——

The wind howled, sweeping across the entire vast sea.

The rain poured down, mixed with weak water, corroding bones and dissolving forms, exterminating all things.

The lightning surged, unknown how many mundane souls it shattered.

The electricity raged, how many living beings suffered undeserved calamity.

The great sun blazed forth; though only one, it shone as if ten or a hundred suns appeared together, condensing solar fire that scorched the masses.

The divine moon flowed with radiance; it inherently could awaken the masses' spiritual wisdom, being the lord of all things…… however, excess is as bad as deficiency; when spiritual wisdom is too high and perception too strong, hearing and feeling too much unsuitable knowledge leads only to the depths of madness and destruction.

Kui Niu exerted all his strength in a killing counterattack, using his own divine blood as sacrifice, causing the Great Dao he cultivated to go berserk, aiding his campaign!

The vast sea boiled!

The true fire of the sun fell within, as if bathing the sun in the East Sea; countless aquatic tribes were boiled alive in the seawater.

The East Sea poured backward onto the continents!

The wild wind howled, huge waves struck the sky, and the mountains and rivers near the East Sea encountered an unprecedented tsunami disaster!

Even those who luckily survived were again stained by the divine moon; their true spirit's nature was twisted, they set foot on a strange path, worshipping the Yin to refine their form…… Yin Refining Form!

……

A top‑tier great supernatural being, gone mad and furious, retaliating by any means—such a sight is terrifying.

In the midst of heaven and earth, a vast boundless dharma‑image stood, resembling an immeasurably expansive spacetime universe gathered together; its hue was blue‑green, its form like a bull but without horns, and with only a single hoof, appearing extraordinarily independent.

This is Kui Niu's true form; at this moment he silently roared toward the heavens, bringing calamity upon the mortal world.

And this is merely the aftermath of his counterattack against Xuansu's slaughter, just trivial side matters.

Xuansu Goddess stood solemn; at this moment her Great Dao transformed, also revealing inscrutable means, blending heaven and earth, possessing the profound subtlety that connects heaven and earth, yin and yang, and all beings.

The Dao of Xuansu: its mystery is the spirit of heaven and earth, the vital energy of yin and yang. The god knows no obstruction, the form knows no similarity; knowing the feelings of all things, understanding the conditions of myriad changes, she is the Lord of the Wandering Dao!

When the profound mystery's rhythm swept over mountains and rivers, the spirit of heaven and earth was grasped, the vital energy of yin and yang balanced, all living things, their spiritual wills touched, in silence the mental disturbances were soothed, returning to peace and tranquility.

She soothed all living things, quelled the calamity; at this moment it was as if time itself had been reversed, the disturbances of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, sun and moon completely vanished, as if nothing had happened.

Xuansu Goddess, one could say she is a powerful goddess with a kind heart, her disposition is not bad.

However, in war, this inevitably puts her at a disadvantage.

She originally held the upper hand, caught the One-legged Ox off guard, but this advantage has now vanished.

Even though her cultivation remains transcendent, surpassing the One-legged Ox, she is bound hand and foot, unable to fully display her divine might.
