Chapter 834: Kunpeng Seizes the River and Luo, Though Chu Has Only Three Households!

The Heavenly Sovereign has revived!

Although his condition was terrible, he ultimately clung to a breath, returned to the stage of the era, and performed his final swan song.

Every instant, every moment of a finger-snap, he had to taste suffering, sacrifice himself, to exchange for the strength of one battle.

But he did not hesitate, nor retreat.

That person…… promised the return of Donghuang, as the elder brother who unintentionally killed his younger brother, how could Di Jun refuse?!

Only a death battle!

By now, any trump cards he had have long been played out.

The Demon Race is even more like yesterday's wilted flower, with nothing left to overdraw.

However, there remains one great creation, the crystallization of the era's wisdom, the achievement of past heroes.

——Great Array of the Heavenly Stars!

At this moment, Di Jun raises the formation again, with the River Chart and Luo Book as the formation's eyes, igniting the Demon Race's dream, burying the Heavenly Court, using the era as a tomb, listening to the demon's lament in the epoch.

Tracing back to the past, today's demon…… is the former embodiment of Humanity!

"The demon has fallen!"

"But it cannot fall so tragically!"

"I sacrificed the dream of the starry sky; let's add a few burial companions!"

On Di Jun's body, every pore was bleeding, yet he paid no heed, merely laughing loudly.

Laughing and laughing, his tears would not stop, "Pangu!"

"It has confused ancient and modern, reversed the ages, waging war in the present, deciding victory for eternity……"

"The traces of the past, the regrets of the future…… are in the slaughter, are in the decisive battle."

"But what of today's sorrow? Who will come to inquire?!"

"Zulong!"

"Heavenly Emperor!"

"Houtu!"

"What merit, what ability does our Demon Race's epoch have, to be used by you people with the power of past and future, such wanton abuse, altering and distorting, snatching away the status of the protagonists of heaven and earth!"

This epoch was originally the "demon"'s era!

Demons, are the myriad beings of this era! The will of the people!

Shamans should not have existed.

They belong to the human race that goes against the current, are Houtu's road and dream, leaping out of the demon's distinction.

Dragons, too, should not be so independent and mighty; as early as the era of Dragon and Phoenix, the Heavenly Court ended their hegemony, the result being the Dragon Ancestor's unwillingness, letting it return to the board of era hegemony.

Facing Fuxi, the Dragon Ancestor lies dormant; facing Di Jun, Gonggong launches a heavy punch?!

How unreasonable!

As for August Emperor this Heavenly Emperor…… he had long been buried in the dust of the epoch!

But what of the result!

Facing these past and future forces, they restored, they surged ahead…… thus the demons lost, losing without a shred of suspense.

Perhaps someone would say, the birth of demons was originally a mistake, the result of Humanity's path to the Dao, Pangu making an error, losing me thereafter, a lingering lesion, ultimately to be corrected.

This era is an erroneous era.

The existence of demons is a premature, malnourished child.

But it was ultimately brought forth!

No matter what, it should also be remembered, with its own name, leaving traces in the world.

Not because of bodily insufficiency, nor intellectual defect, after being defeated in the struggle over property, even the traces of having existed are wiped out!

How?

Because it is a blemish of Humanity?

So it was discarded like worn-out shoes?

Because the path and foundation have defects?

So an even older Heavenly Court covered over, obliterating all efforts and achievements?

Di Jun was unwilling.

Thus.

He accepted the fact of the Demon Race's downfall, yet facing this fact, he threw out a final punch of resentment!

"This round, I lost!"

"But you also don't think you can win so easily!"

"Starry sky!"

"Take this as an offering!"

"Bury my past for me, sever my future for me!"

"Fair competition, losing in utter defeat, then let us ask the true meaning of equality, as a lesson for those to come!"

The Heavenly Sovereign laughed long, blood pouring forth, he exerted all strength to hurl the entire starry sky!

In the blinding eternal starlight, the river of time collapsed!

Under the endless haze of chaos, Di Jun also collapsed within it!

The bursting flood of time buried the last traces of a generation of Demon Race Heavenly Sovereign, and sounded the demon's lament!

"Boom—"

The power of Humanity surged!

Although the demon emperor is already a thing of the past, long since a featherless phoenix—not as good as a chicken—but the path he walked, the root of his failure, still enough to shake humanity, awaken the myriad beings.

He makes the world ponder, makes the gods fall silent.

On the stage of the era's contest, the victor about to be decided is not the hero rooted in this world, not belonging to the present orthodoxy, but the ultimate hegemon of the past, the future brilliance with a cheat turned on.

Such a victory, such a Pangu—can fairness be spoken of? Can equality be spoken of?!

Silently, the surging power of humanity has become more ferocious.

He has exhausted the forbidden divine abilities resonated with the Ancestral Dragon in life-and-death struggle through the ages, yet seems to have gone a step further, completing them, making their effect even better.

Eternal exile!

But this exile is not only of August Emperor and Nüwa; even the Dragon Ancestor is being kicked off the board……

Just as in the past!

As the era changes, the strongest has no home to return to.

Brilliant starlight weaves the most dreamlike seal, cutting off everyone's path home!

Under the seal, Ying Long is nailed to an altar, stuck there, the whole dragon about to be roasted, melted!

She widened her eyes, as if unable to rest in death, a strange light flashed in her eyes, as if questioning the world: why, at the end, does the injured old one have her?!

Ying Long "greets" the miserable world, curses the unscrupulous player, dares to be angry but dare not speak.

As for the Ancestral Dragon that directly caused her predicament, at this moment he too is dazed.

——I haven't gone back yet!

Not to mention him, even August Emperor frowns a little.

'Emperor Jun this little comrade……should I praise him for doing too well? Or criticize him for still having little schemes in his heart even now?'

'Exerting too much force—is this nonsense? Or the truth spoken after drink?'

'Who has he been involved with?'

The Heavenly Emperor pondered.

'Never mind, it's fine.'

'Humanity's anger……but I am not a god without disguises.'

'Just a trifle!'

They each harbor their own thoughts, each having ideas.

As for Nüwa……

Her expression twisted, both sorrowful and joyful.

The sorrow is being kicked out of the home again, with a rebellious Emperor Hong still in the household—ghost knows what will happen next; the joy is that the era's exile may preserve the demonic era, preserve the cycle of the underworld, and not be messed with by August Emperor.

Her feelings are complex, her worries hard to express.

The Zhou Tian Star Doul Great Array seals the realm; the demons' lament isolates the world's clamor.

It seems that all warfare should now cease.

But……how could this be possible!

Cry!

A sharp whistle roared, shaking awake the gods who had witnessed the successive dramas, their minds nearly unable to keep up.

A mighty great peng spread its wings and flew; with a swipe of its claws, it tore the order of time, severed the thread of history!

That is……the Great Sage Kunpeng!

At the moment the Heavenly Emperor withers, he seems unwilling to remain lonely!

Sweeping across the vast mountains and rivers, from within the world, he attacks and strikes at the Zhou Tian Star Doul seal!

The vast starry river is the mighty power released by the burning constellations, mingled with the guided force of humanity, turning into a field of annihilation of all things.

But!

The Great Sage Kunpeng is too familiar!

As a demon master of a generation of the Heavenly Court, he is almost a front‑figure; in status, he is somewhat higher than the Ten Great Yao Marshals!

As for strength, he is a rare powerhouse in the world, having already proved the Dao of the Great Simplicity!

At this moment, he bursts forth sideways, avoiding all kinds of killing calamities, his target clear and distinct: the River Chart and Luo Book, the key that upholds the seal!

"My lady, do not worry!"

While advancing, he lets out a wailing cry that shakes the ages, saying: "Look, I will escort you back, subdue the world, and prove the Dao of Pangu!"

This ancient god great sage knows the nature of work well; he's an old hand at slacking off.

Do more work, speak less……that just won't do.

One must loudly proclaim loyalty, then get things done……that way, when evaluating titles and handing out bonuses, the superior will remember you!

"The Great Sage Kunpeng is truly loyal and good!"

Nüwa rejoiced greatly.

But……soon she could no longer feel joy.

Whether August Emperor or the Ancestral Dragon, they both turned their spears toward her because of this!

In an instant, it became Empress Nüwa taking on two!

"Kunpeng!"

The Heavenly Emperor's will, lingering in the seal and overseeing its operation, roared: "You dare!"

"Sorry, Emperor Jun Majesty!"

"I have been lying low for many years; I am an undercover!"

He leapt and galloped, shattering one bolt of calamity after another.

This seal, if attacked from outside, is tantamount to provoking humanity—difficult beyond difficulty.

If it collapses from within, it wouldn't be that difficult; with Kunpeng's methods, that's enough!

Stars shattered, calamity light dissipated, Kunpeng Great Sage transcendent and supreme, forging an immortal chapter.

With his words, the primordial source of heaven and earth throbbed—wind, water!

And amidst the earth and mountains, an ancestral witch who had always shown himself in a disguise—Tiānwú—also dissipated at this moment!

No.

Not dissipation, but return, manifestation of the true form!

This ancestral witch is quite special.

He left clear traces in both humanity and the Wu Clan.

Yet these two traces are strangely bizarre.

In the Wu Clan, he is the Ancestral Witch of Wind.

But among humanity, he is a water god of an era!

Wind, water... cannot be said to have no relation; can only be said to be completely unrelated.

But they truly converge in the same person.

Is this a low-level mistake made by this great divine ability wielder?

Obviously... not!

When wind and water unite, they sublimate into a distinct law; that is the true visage of this great divine ability wielder, his true Dao fruition!

Kunpeng!

Kun is water, Peng rides the wind... the Wind-Water Great Dao spans the ages!

Its exposition of the principle of correspondence between heaven and humanity, its elaboration of the rules of rise and fall of the times—nothing can surpass it in these aspects except Fate and Fortune!

But this is not shameful... after all, the one who holds Fate and Fortune is none other than Pangu!

Kunpeng is worthy of pride.

Looking across the three thousand gods of Honghuang, he is also among the very top.

And such a being... is an undercover agent!

Three years, then three more years, again and again... he has attained the achievements of a Demon Master, and now returns to his origin!

He solemnly told Di Jun—

He is a subordinate of Nüwa!

Having come, he will seize the River Luo and free Nüwa!

"This era needs a Pangu, doesn't it?"

Kunpeng broke through layer after layer of barriers, slaughtering his way to before the River Chart and Luo Book, saying: "Without Pangu, how can we fight for the human way and resist the descent of this true form of Pangu, August Emperor?"

"Compared to the Ancestral Dragon and the Heavenly Emperor, our only choice is Her Majesty Nüwa!"

"This lady has always had a conscience; even if humanity wins, she will open up a realm for the Demon Race to rest and recuperate… someday, the Demon Race could indeed make a comeback and contend for another era!"

"So, Di Jun!"

"Give up!"

"Hand over the River Chart and Luo Book; I will oversee the seal, letting this era's dust settle!"

"Dream on!" Di Jun's residual thought rebuked, "The rise of the Wu Clan, the birth of humanity, the burial of the Demon Race, all that Nüwa has done—I cannot tolerate it!"

"If there must be a winner, why wouldn't I choose Hongjun?"

"When Nüwa faces Fuxi, how much fighting spirit does she still have? As for the Dao Ancestor, he will surely fight to the death, never compromising!"

The Heavenly Emperor does not accept Kunpeng's persuasion.

"If you don't drink the toast, you'll drink the punishment… you've offended me!" Kunpeng let out a light sigh, his claw already reaching out.

"Crack!"

The barrier of time was torn apart; this Heavenly Emperor's residual thought could no longer guard the River Chart and Luo Book, and Kunpeng touched it.

The seal thus glowed, becoming illusory and unstable!

"Well done!"

Nüwa blocked left and right, already in utter disarray; at this moment, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but cry out in joy, "Kunpeng, open the gate!"

"As you command!"

Kunpeng Great Sage bore an air of righteousness, as if the time had come to serve Empress Nüwa loyally!

The seal twisted, it was breaking yet not completely broken.

Because it retained value, still hoped to block other contenders.

Thus, in that instant of time, there was an instant of opportunity to escape; afterward would come repair, to fend off attacks.

Kunpeng opened the gate; he wanted to open it to Nüwa's side, to perform Jieyin and bring this superior home!

"Don't even think about it!"

At the critical moment, the Dragon Ancestor let out a low roar, interfering with something.

Thus, the Yinglong pressed beneath the seal let out two cries, vomiting blood incessantly, thereby also affecting the seal.

That instant of opportunity was missed; Nüwa lunged at empty air.

"I%￥#@! ……"

Yinglong wailed mournfully, greeting the Dragon Ancestor for eight lifetimes.

"You've forced me to this point!"

Yinglong wept, "Empress, I can only apologize to you!"

"The Dragon Ancestor won't meddle in human affairs; I have no choice but to fight evil with evil!"

"Rest assured, even though I am in the demon camp, my heart remains with you!"

She puts on a persona, laying groundwork for the future; when the time comes and the truth comes to light, she will have some room for quibbling.

As the words fell, she gritted her teeth and let out a clear whistle, "Karma transferred, debts recalculated!"

"Sever this body, start anew!"

"I won't be a dragon anymore!"

The time has come.

Yinglong Great Sage unleashed his backup plan.

That is Donghuang's legacy, a transfer of karma, along with all the debts he bears!

Dragon Ancestor!

Aren't you pursuing responsibility?

The guarantor of responsibility, the responsible party…… fine, I'll let you pursue responsibility to your heart's content!

Yinglong roared, "I admit it without reservation…… everything was ordered by Donghuang!"

If humanity demands punishment, then punish!

Heaven and earth trembled, all the gods trembled!

A strand of karma now surfaced, entangling Yinglong's person.

It is not strong, but its appearance is too opportune!

No!

Dragon Ancestor's heart pounded.

Big problem!

Great calamity!

Even a death god is causing trouble?!

He demanded of the ages.

In the dark, myriad ages echoed.

However, from the downstream of time, a soft laugh sounded.

Though I have only three households, whoever destroys you will be mine!
