Chapter 140: Ten Great Golden Crows Enter the Primordial World

In the Sanqing Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun woke from his deep meditation, his expression filled with annoyance.

"What is this Donghuang Taiyi doing? Can't he let people meditate in peace?" he cursed, his gaze turning toward the horizon.

Ordinary magic treasures would naturally not startle them, but the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, was different.

The tolling of the bell rippled out, piercing through the void; it not only echoed in their ears but also lingered within their Primordial Spirit.

Beside him, Tongtian also opened his eyes, though his gaze held a look of curiosity.

The bell had been ringing for some time; for someone to be able to fight Donghuang Taiyi for this long, they were definitely no simple character.

The first thing he thought of was the Ancestral Witch, for after all, the Witch and Demon Clans were old rivals, and only an Ancestral Witch Body could withstand the might of an Innate Supreme Treasure repeatedly.

It was just that the Ancestral Witches had previously been beaten back to the Pangu Temple by Tian Yuan, which left him with a few doubts.

Could it be that the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain had clashed with the Demon Court?

Thinking of the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain, a wave of fervor rose in Tongtian's heart.

He was one of the Three Pure Ones, with an extraordinary origin and no lack of insight, yet Tian Yuan was the only one the three of them could not see through.

If Tian Yuan and Donghuang Taiyi were fighting right now, perhaps he could discern some clues.

Laozi, sitting in the middle, did not open his eyes, and an ethereal Dao voice came forth: "Calm your hearts, cultivate diligently; becoming a Saint is what we seek!"

The Heavenly Tribulation had already begun, and a great war was surely unavoidable.

Having said this, a pagoda was seen being summoned from above Laozi's head, growing in the wind and hanging above the three of them.

Instantly, the bell sounds that had been faintly coming from the sky vanished completely.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced in the direction of the bell, said nothing more, and closed his eyes to begin cultivating.

Tongtian, looking at the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda above his head, opened his mouth, but in the end, he obediently closed his eyes.

He still had one corpse yet to be severed, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation had not yet been refined, and the Hongmeng Purple Qi lurking within his body was not yet understood.

There were many things waiting for him to do; he truly had no time to go out and watch others fight.

Beneath the firmament, flames soared to the heavens, and two figures within were trading blows.

Under Tian Yuan's super-strong physical body, neither Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell nor the Great Sun Golden Flame could harm him.

But with Tian Yuan's current strength, he likewise could not break through the defense of the Innate Supreme Treasure.

"With the Chaos Bell overhead, he truly stands in an invincible position!" Looking at Taiyi, who was shrouded in five-colored brilliant light, Tian Yuan felt somewhat depressed.

Although Donghuang Taiyi was a Three-Legged Golden Crow with the Nine-Nine Supreme Fate, his physical body was clearly inferior to his own.

At the beginning, he had come with a wild momentum and appeared somewhat disheveled under his attacks, but once he hung the Chaos Bell above his head, Tian Yuan became helpless.

After fighting for a long time, no matter how much effort he exerted, the opponent remained calm and composed.

At this very moment, Tian Yuan finally understood a little why the Ancestral Witches would eventually self-destruct one by one during the Witch-Demon Calamity.

Aside from that method of attack, one simply could not break through the defense of an Innate Supreme Treasure below the level of a Saint.

Of course, the Twelve Capital Divine Array of the Wu Clan should have had a chance, but unfortunately, Houtu was missing.

Donghuang Taiyi, possessing an Innate Supreme Treasure, was the undisputed number one person below the level of a Saint.

Tian Yuan was somewhat depressed, but Taiyi, standing proudly in the middle, was not as calm as he appeared; he was actually very angry.

He possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure, after all; when he fought the Wu Clan in the past, he would fight several Ancestral Witches at once.

Although he was currently trading blows back and forth with Tian Yuan, he knew clearly in his heart that if he did not have the Chaos Bell to protect him, he would certainly be in a sorry state.

In the long years since he took human form, he had fought countless battles, large and small.

Setting aside the Ancestral Witches, most other battles ended in at most three tolls of the bell; none were as strenuous as this.

Demon Master Kunpeng had a gloomy face, and cold words came from him: "Lord Demon Emperor, if the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain is not eliminated, the Demon Court will find it hard to enter the Primordial Land!"

Donghuang Taiyi was the combat pillar of the entire Demon Court.

In any past battle, as long as Taiyi took the field, there was nothing he could not resolve.

Just like with Dong Wanggong of Penglai Immortal Island in the past, Taiyi had shattered the entire Immortal Court with his own strength, forcing countless living beings to join the Demon Court.

Yet now, fighting Tian Yuan alone, he was actually unable to secure a victory.

Even if they all went up together now, he feared they would still be unable to do anything to the opponent.

But the key was that the Stone Man's greatest reliance was the Heavenly Pillar; once he was allowed to return to Mount Buzhou, let alone capturing him, they might even be counter-suppressed by Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan was so powerful, and Hongyun had a close relationship with him; what chance did he have to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Moreover, ten thousand years had passed, and there was still no sign of Hongyun on the Primordial Land, and the Demon Race guarding outside the Fire Cloud Cave had likewise sent no news.

It would be one thing if Hongyun's strength had grown, but if he had comprehended the Hongmeng Purple Qi, then everything would be over.

He had gained no benefits himself and had instead been dragged into the Heavenly Tribulation.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Kunpeng became.

Di Jun knew this as well; looking at the current situation, apart from Taiyi taking another step forward, they could only rely on the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Unfortunately, this array was still being practiced and could not exert much power, let alone suppress Tian Yuan.

Di Jun, with a dark face, ordered Baize beside him: "Baize, recall all members of the Demon Race above the Taiyi Golden Immortal level from the Primordial Land."

In this short time, he had already discovered what Tian Yuan had done on the Eastern Land.

In a situation where they could do nothing about Tian Yuan, this was all they could do for now.

Even if a group of the Demon Race was sent back, the Primordial Land would still be under the rule of the Demon Court; it was just that their grip would be much weaker, which was not a huge impact.

As for Tian Yuan breaking into the Demon Court to take people, Di Jun was not afraid in the slightest.

The Thirty-Three Heavens was the base camp of the Demon Court, shrouded by the Innate Array, the Hunyuan Heluo Array, and bolstered by the power of billions upon billions of the Demon Race; if Tian Yuan truly dared to come, he would be easily suppressed.

"Yes!" Baize nodded and immediately fled into the distance. After giving the order, Di Jun looked at Kunpeng: "I also know the Demon Master's worries; it seems that only by relying on the Zhou Tian Star Formation is there a possibility of capturing Tian Yuan."

Kunpeng was, after all, a top combat force of the Demon Court, so Di Jun still had to consider his feelings.

Hearing this, Kunpeng's expression softened slightly.

He naturally knew of the Zhou Tian Star Formation; it was said to have been comprehended by the two Demon Emperors from the Sun Star and was the great trend of the Primordial Starry Sky.

Combining the three hundred and sixty-five great stars of the Starry Sky, with the Sun Star and the Lunar Star as the eyes of the array, it summoned the power of the billions of stars in the Primordial Starry Sky; its power was strong enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

He had also once contemplated a portion of it and knew the power of this scroll of the Array.

Once this Array is opened, it should be able to suppress Tian Yuan.

The only worry is that it will definitely take quite some time to become familiar with such an Innate Array.

"I will trouble you, Demon Emperor!" Kunpeng cupped his hands and replied respectfully.

Di Jun, still watching the battle below without blinking, continued, "Do not worry, Demon Master. This is the worst-case scenario; if there are traces of that Hongyun, we will help you capture him."

Compared to the strength of Tian Yuan, Hongyun would be much easier.

An ordinary Innate Sacred simply cannot withstand the Chaos Bell of Donghuang Taiyi.

"Kunpeng thanks the two Demon Emperors in advance!" Kunpeng nodded; he had no other options now.

Di Jun did not speak again, glanced at the battle below, and then took flight toward the Demon Court.

Tian Yuan's physical body is not inferior to an Ancestral Witch, and he fears no offensive from the Chaos Bell; it would be useless for him to enter the fray, and it would instead weaken the prestige of the Demon Court.

Two great Demon Emperors attacking simultaneously failed to take down the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain, which is greatly detrimental to the reputation of the Demon Court.

Following Di Jun's departure, the many Demon Saints who had accompanied him followed closely behind.

Kunpeng, however, looked toward the distant Mount Buzhou; no one knew when the Demon Court would suppress Tian Yuan, and he now only hoped that Hongyun would appear quickly.

With the two Demon Emperors joining forces with him, they could easily behead him.

A faint silver light flickered, and Kunpeng had already vanished into the air.

Below, Donghuang Taiyi's face was somber, and it was impossible to tell from his eyes whether he was happy or angry.

He already knew the result of the two's battle, and remaining here now was naturally to buy time for the Demon Race in the Eastern Land.

If he were to leave now, and Tian Yuan were to sweep through the Demon Race in the mountains, rivers, and lakes, there would be nothing he could do.

Tian Yuan, whose figure was dancing wildly, naturally guessed this, but he did not care.

He had not had such a hearty and unrestrained battle in a long time, and more importantly, the Great Sun Golden Flame that Taiyi was venting made him feel a great craving.

As one of the Four Great Chaos Primordial Spirits, it is no exaggeration to call the Great Sun Golden Flame the ancestor of all fires.

Earlier, because the Pangu Heart had entered his body, his perception of the laws of heaven and earth had become much clearer, and this was also a good opportunity for cultivation.

On the Sun Star, shrouded in rolling flames, there stands a towering giant tree, burning with raging fires that blot out the sky and sun.

Among those lush branches, "Gua-gua-gua" cries echoed incessantly.

Immediately, ten clusters of flames were seen whistling out, transforming into ten three-legged Little Golden Crows that lined up and landed on the branches.

They were none other than the sons of the Demon Emperor Di Jun, the Ten Great Princes of the Demon Court.

"It's Uncle's Chaos Bell!"

"That direction is the Eastern Land; who could possibly fight with Uncle for so long?"

A childish voice rang out, and the Little Golden Crows all raised their heads to look toward the Primordial World.

"I heard the Primordial Land is beautiful and rich in spirit; how about we go to the Primordial World to take a look?"

One Little Golden Crow proposed, and many immediately echoed the sentiment.

Ever since they were born, they had stayed on the Fusang Tree and had long since grown bored enough.

The smallest Golden Crow, who had landed at the very back, said in a crisp voice, "Brothers, Father told us to stay here and cultivate properly; we must not run around."

"I have been cultivating for so long; I don't want to stay here forever."

"Gua-gua! I'm going to sneak out to play."

"That's right! Father and Uncle rule the Primordial World, so there won't be any danger."

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard Mother say last time that the Primordial Land is now under the jurisdiction of the Demon Court, so what are we afraid of?"

"Look! The bell has stopped ringing; Uncle must have won. Let's go to the Primordial Land to find Uncle!"

Little did the Little Golden Crow know, as soon as he spoke, he was immediately drowned out by a chorus of voices.

"Little Ten, if you aren't coming, then stay here. I'm going out to play. I heard the waves of the East Sea are towering; I've never even seen the sea!" said the largest Golden Crow, spreading his wings and flying toward the Primordial Land.

"Big Brother, wait for me!"

"I'm going too!"

"I want to go to the East Sea to bathe!"

Seeing their big brother set off, the remaining Little Golden Crows immediately followed, squawking.

The few Little Golden Crows who had still been hesitant lingered for a moment before quickly chasing after them.

"Little Ten, come quickly! Let's go to the East Sea to play in the water together!"

"Little Ten, come quickly, come quickly!"

Facing the calls of his brothers, the smallest Golden Crow could not resist the temptation and flapped his wings to fly off.
