Chapter 153: The Demon Court Attacks Mount Buzhou

The five-colored radiance blooming from the sacred treasure was blinding to the eyes.

Demon Master Kunpeng let out an angry roar, silver light flickering around his body as a massive pressure descended.

Yet Hongyun, standing before them, remained completely motionless.

Dijiang, who had been certain of victory just moments ago, now had a gloomy face, his expression incredibly unsightly.

Before planning to capture Hongyun, he had considered many kinds of accidents, even including the possibility of Tian Yuan suddenly appearing to help.

But he had never imagined that Hongyun would possess an Innate Supreme Treasure.

In Purple Heaven Palace, Hongjun had clearly only bestowed them upon the Three Pure Ones; why would Hongyun possess an Innate Supreme Treasure?

Dijiang did not understand; the tassels and hanging pearls cascading down before him were like a natural chasm, blocking all of his attacks.

"Roar!" Dijiang let out a roar of unwillingness.

His cultivation realm was far above Hongyun's, and he had made so many preparations, yet he had not wanted an accident to occur.

If the supreme treasure in Hongyun's palm did not come from Hongjun, then it could only be from the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, which undoubtedly gave Dijiang an even more ominous conjecture.

If Hongyun could obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure, then what about Tian Yuan? That person was the very existence who controlled Mount Buzhou.

This fleeting thought in his mind immediately made Dijiang even more frantic.

Compared to the angry and irritable pair, Hongyun was overjoyed.

He hadn't even had time to react to Dijiang's sudden sneak attack; it was the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud acting on instinct to protect its master.

The opponent's terrifying power and cultivation realm were far above his own, yet they were easily blocked by the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud; the supreme treasure was truly formidable.

Hongyun wiped the smile from his face and said with a sunken expression, "Fellow Daoist, I kindly offered you guidance, yet you are so ignorant of the heavenly mandate. No wonder Brother Tian Yuan captured you all one by one."

Dijiang, blocked by the five-colored radiance, felt his crimson blood and Qi surging, and the wings on his back twitched rapidly.

He was Pangu Orthodox, the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and currently at the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal stage; yet these fellows were all speaking to him in such a tone.

More importantly, he hated it most when others said he was ignorant of the heavenly mandate.

Silver light surged, and the surrounding space flickered rapidly.

Hongyun did not care about the changes all around and turned to look at Kunpeng beside him: "Kunpeng, that Hongmeng Purple Qi is not a good thing. You cannot grasp it; do not harbor designs on it again."

Although he was not yet clear about what the Hongmeng Purple Qi was actually for, after becoming the Humanity Lord, Hongyun instinctively felt it was not a good item.

Hongyun guessed in his heart that it might be related to the struggle for authority among the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Daos.

Although Kunpeng was an Innate Sacred, he had never come into contact with the Heaven and Earth Will and could not possibly master it.

Kunpeng, already angry, felt his facial muscles twitch slightly at these words, his complexion turning somewhat dark.

It was one thing to covet the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but to speak so sanctimoniously—this Hongyun was truly hateful.

Hongyun paid no mind to what Kunpeng was thinking; he glanced at the two irritable figures, shook his head slightly, and the five-colored radiance of the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud above his head flared brilliantly.

Under the rolling rosy clouds, he easily broke through the surrounding silver light and vanished into the wisps of red mist.

The All-Heaven Celebration Cloud was a defensive supreme treasure; he could not do anything to the two of them, but they could not do anything to him either.

Hongyun had already made up his mind to move Fire Cloud Cave to Mount Buzhou now, to save others from coming to bother him again.

With Brother Tian Yuan there, these fellows would certainly not dare to come.

"Stop!" Kunpeng was anxious and cried out loudly.

Beside him, Dijiang's body was surging with Malevolent Qi, attacking that space frantically.

In the exploding void, red mist spilled out and slowly faded into the surroundings; Hongyun's figure was already gone.

Dijiang stood where he was, took a deep look at the direction in which Hongyun had left, and turned to flee toward Pangu Temple.

With the supreme treasure protecting his body, he could no longer do anything to Hongyun; there was no point in chasing him further.

At present, only by breaking through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal stage as soon as possible could he have the strength to suppress the other party.

Facing Dijiang's departure, Kunpeng did not speak; how could he not know these things?

For these years, Hongyun had been avoiding him, likely because he was refining that Innate Supreme Treasure.

Innate Supreme Treasures—there were only a few in the entire world.

Clearly, both of them had lost their cushions; why had Hongyun not only obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi but also an Innate Supreme Treasure? This was too unfair; Kunpeng was very unwilling in his heart.

He swept a glance at Mount Buzhou in the distance and fled rapidly toward the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Only an Innate Supreme Treasure could counter an Innate Supreme Treasure; if he wanted to capture Hongyun, he still had to rely on Donghuang Taiyi.

Moreover, the information he had gathered this time also needed to be reported to the two Demon Emperors.

That space on Mount Buzhou was far more mysterious than he had imagined.

The three-thousand-year deadline set by Di Jun earlier was also approaching; he wondered how the training of the Zhou Tian Star Formation was going.

Clang! Just as he approached the Thirty-Three Heavens, he heard a loud bell chime echoing.

In an instant, a brilliant Mysterious Yellow Qi appeared above the Sun Palace and poured into the vast Starry Sky.

Following closely, two powerful auras surged up and swept across the entire Thirty-Three Heavens.

A vast and desolate aura descended, accompanied by majestic heavenly might, causing countless members of the Demon Race in the Demon Court to prostrate on the ground.

"Both of these Demon Emperors have broken through." Kunpeng was greatly shocked, his expression somewhat dejected.

As one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, he had been running around for Hongyun all these years, and only now had he severed two corpses.

Yet the two Demon Emperors of the Demon Court were now at the Quasi-Saint peak.

But the next second, Kunpeng frowned slightly.

Feeling that fleeting aura, Kunpeng looked into the distance, but without thinking too much, he hurried toward the Sun Palace.

Judging by the current situation, the two Demon Emperors had likely already used the luck of the entire Demon Court to completely refine the Chaos Bell.

And in the process of this refinement, Di Jun and Taiyi had also gained great harvests, leading them to break through simultaneously.

Because of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he had wasted too much time himself.

"Hoo!" Kunpeng took a deep breath, thinking about how he needed to sever his Three Corpses as soon as possible.

Without a powerful artifact, one's Dao cultivation is the foundation of everything.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, powerful figures appeared one after another, rushing toward the Sun Palace.

By the time Kunpeng drew near, many Demon Gods and Demon Saints had already gathered outside the Sun Palace.

The Sun Palace is the place where the two Demon Emperors cultivate in seclusion; nowadays, besides Fairy Changxi, only he and Baize can enter without reporting.

"Demon Master!"

Seeing Kunpeng appear, that crowd of figures all bowed respectfully.

The members of the Demon Court still held this Demon Master in high regard; after all, he had created the Demon Script and passed down the Cultivation Method.

Kunpeng nodded and quickly walked into the Sun Palace, where the two Demon Emperors at the head wore joyful expressions, and Baize and Changxi below them also had smiles on their faces.

"Greetings to the two Demon Emperors!"

Seeing Kunpeng appear, Di Jun hurriedly asked: "The Demon Master has returned; how did the matter with Hongyun go?"

He had originally thought that once the Zhou Tian Star Formation was perfected, they could crusade against Mount Buzhou, but he had not expected to refine the final restriction of the Chaos Bell a step earlier.

Previously, neither Taiyi nor he had much confidence, as an Innate Supreme Treasure is an artifact held by a Hunyuan Golden Immortal. They had not expected that by relying on Heaven and Earth Luck and the Sun Star Will, their brotherhood would be so unexpectedly smooth.

More crucially, during the refinement process, they both broke through to the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal realm. They were only one final step away from Proving the Dao to Hunyuan.

And the refinement of the Zhou Tian Star Formation had also kept pace, so how could Di Jun not be joyful?

Using the Zhou Tian Star Formation to resist the might of Mount Buzhou, and then using the Chaos Bell to break open the space on Mount Buzhou—the time to crusade against Tian Yuan was fast approaching.

Following Di Jun's words, the few people in the hall all looked toward Kunpeng.

The Fire Cloud Cave matter was of great importance, and with the Ancestral Witch involved, they were all very concerned.

Meeting the gazes of Di Jun and Taiyi, Kunpeng sighed softly and said with a grave expression: "That Hongyun has an Innate Supreme Treasure protecting him, and even Dijiang was powerless."

Di Jun, who had been in high spirits, was stunned, and the remaining few were also left dumbfounded in the hall.

Di Jun frowned, stood up, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you saying Hongyun had the help of the Three Pure Ones?"

In the entire world, besides his second brother Taiyi, only the Three Pure Ones possessed Innate Supreme Treasures; he had immediately thought of the three from Kunlun Mountain.

If that were truly the case, it would be a huge problem.

It was just that although Hongyun had been granted the Hongmeng Purple Qi by Hongjun, he did not have such deep ties with the Three Pure Ones.

Now that they were in the midst of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Three Pure Ones were so protective of their own reputations, how could they easily step into the fray?

Di Jun exchanged a look with Taiyi beside him, their eyes filled with doubt.

"It was not the treasures granted by the Dao Ancestor, but a pure white cloud, radiating vast righteous energy; within the auspicious clouds, a Hongmeng world appeared, with the sun, moon, and stars shining upon it, and even Dijiang could not break through it." Kunpeng did not hesitate and recounted the events in detail.

"A new Innate Supreme Treasure?" Di Jun interrupted Kunpeng's words, strode down, his expression incomparably grave.

Taiyi, who had been sitting steadily in the hall, also stood up immediately, his eyes slightly widened.

Having wielded the Chaos Bell for so many years, the two of them knew very well what it meant to possess an Innate Supreme Treasure.

An offensive treasure was one thing, but if it were a defensive Innate Supreme Treasure, one would be completely invincible.

But how did Hongyun obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure?

Meeting the solemn gazes of the others, Kunpeng did not hesitate and detailed the events of these years.

With Hongyun having an Innate Supreme Treasure for protection, whether they could take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi now depended solely on Di Jun and Taiyi.

For a long time, the entire hall was deathly silent.

No one doubted Kunpeng's words; after all, the other party was an Innate Sacred, and even Dijiang, at the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal realm, could not break through that auspicious cloud defense, so it was highly likely to be an Innate Supreme Treasure.

"I have only heard that the God-Slaying Spear in the hands of Demon Ancestor Luohou is a supreme treasure; where could this auspicious cloud treasure have come from..." Baize frowned and spoke softly.

But before he could finish his sentence, Baize's expression changed slightly.

Besides obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Hongyun had only entered that space on Mount Buzhou.

The origin of that auspicious cloud was self-evident.

This information was definitely not good news for the Demon Court, which was about to crusade against Tian Yuan.

Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others in the hall thought of the same thing, and each of their expressions turned grave.

The reason they had not made a move against Tian Yuan earlier was precisely because they were wary of his mysterious nature.

If Tian Yuan could control Mount Buzhou and also had an Innate Supreme Treasure for protection, that would be a massive problem.

With a dark face, Di Jun turned to look at Baize. "Accelerate the refinement of the Zhou Tian Star Formation; the matter of the crusade against Mount Buzhou brooks no delay."

The joy of the breakthrough had vanished in an instant.

The unknown was the greatest variable; although they had learned of the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space from Hongyun, it was far from enough.

They still did not know Tian Yuan's specific strength; they had to speed up the removal of this unstable factor to rescue the ten Crown Princes and Fairy Xihe.

"Yes!"

Baize quickly walked out of the hall, leading the many Demon Saints and Demon Gods outside the palace as they rushed toward the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly: "Brother, assist me; I will go to the Primordial Land to meet that Hongyun!"

Whether it was true or false, he would know once he went to investigate.

Hongyun's cultivation realm was not as high as his, and since the Chaos Bell was now fully refined, Hongyun was no match for him; the only trouble was finding the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Good!" Di Jun naturally nodded repeatedly.

If they could seize an Innate Supreme Treasure, then the Demon Court would have two Innate Supreme Treasures.

Kunpeng, who had intended to cultivate in seclusion for a period, heard this and hurriedly said: "This Demon Master is also willing to go and assist."

He naturally understood the thoughts of the two Demon Emperors. Although he coveted the Innate Supreme Treasure in his heart, Kunpeng knew he had absolutely no chance, and he only wanted the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Di Jun nodded as he listened, not refusing.

After giving a few instructions to Changxi, the three of them fled toward the Eastern Land.

On Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan watched the departing Hongyun, a flash of envy in his eyes.

Tian Yuan naturally had no objections to Hongyun wanting to move the Fire Cloud Cave to Mount Buzhou, but he had not expected this fellow to have actually obtained a supreme treasure.

The All-Heaven Celebration Cloud, an absolute defensive supreme treasure, had actually fallen into the hands of Hongyun.

He had previously assumed that this supreme treasure had already been bestowed upon Yuanshi Tianzun by Hongjun in the Purple Heaven Palace; he had not expected it to be in the Fire Cloud Cave.

It stands to reason that after Hongyun fell, it was obtained by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tian Yuan stroked his chin and muttered softly, "If the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud is not in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, could the Heaven-Refining Coffin and the Six-Soul Banner also still be on the land of the Primordial World?"

During the sermons at the Purple Heaven Palace, the only supreme treasures Hongjun explicitly bestowed upon the Three Pure Ones were the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation; the rest of the dharma treasures were obtained by them at Fenbao Cliff.

As for the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud, the Heaven-Refining Coffin, and the Six-Soul Banner, he had said nothing more.

In the early days of the Six Saints of Heaven and Earth, the Three Pure Ones were as one; if these supreme treasures had appeared, it is feared that no one could have competed with the three of them.

Thinking of it this way, besides the God-Slaying Spear, there might also be the Heaven-Refining Coffin and the Six-Soul Banner in the Primordial World.

These two supreme treasures were also likely items of Luo Hou, and one does not know in which corner of the Primordial World they are submerged.

As for what the Three Pure Ones obtained later, it seems that with his current Essence Refining Stage, it is impossible to find them.

Glancing toward the direction of the Demon Court, Tian Yuan cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to quietly cultivate the laws.

In these few thousand years of cultivation, he had gained quite a lot, and Tian Yuan felt that it would not take long before he could step into the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Settling his mind, a dense, earthy-yellow law emerged beneath him, enveloping him within it.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, a massive 'Clang' of a Great Bell echoed through heaven and earth, followed immediately by the booming shout of Gungun.

"Tian Yuan! You captured my Demon Race, abducted the Crown Prince of my Demon Court, and seized my dao companion; today, I shall crusade against you!"

The voice shook the four wildernesses, circling Mount Buzhou like earth-shattering thunder.

Tian Yuan frowned; he was just about to break through, and he had not expected Di Jun to launch a crusade against him at this time.

Opening his eyes, Tian Yuan looked up toward the firmament, and his gaze instantly narrowed slightly.

Hundreds of millions of stars twinkled, and the endless starlight was dazzling, illuminating the entire Primordial World firmament in a magnificent and extraordinary way.

At the same time, a vast momentum of heaven and earth rolled down, descending toward Mount Buzhou.
