Chapter 195: Tian Yuan is a Heavenly Demon from Outside the Domain

Xihe was likewise stunned by the scene before her and hurriedly darted toward Changxi, who was not far away.

"Sister! What has happened to the Primordial World? Why are the two Demon Emperor brothers nowhere to be seen?" Xihe asked impatiently, her delicate face filled with panic.

The Fusang Wood had been taken by Tian Yuan, and now the entire upper echelon of the Demon Court had been captured as well.

Looking at this, it seemed as if every Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Demon Court was here.

Could the dignified Demon Court really be left with only the two Demon Emperors? The Demon Court had gathered the Heaven and Earth Luck; how could it be so easily shattered? A sense of bewilderment washed over Xihe's eyes.

"Sister!"

Seeing Xihe, Changxi stepped forward to meet her and said in a panic, "That Tian Yuan broke into the Demon Court by force and captured all of us together. Neither of the two Demon Emperors is to be seen."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward the distance, clearly having spotted the Stone Man standing in the sky.

Baize and the others who had appeared also saw Tian Yuan in the sky, and every one of their expressions was incredibly unsightly.

Aside from the two Demon Emperors, the entire Demon Court could be said to have been wiped out in one fell swoop by Tian Yuan.

Looking at the familiar faces all around, Baize felt a sense of trance in his heart.

The Demon Court that dominated the Primordial World was just gone like this, dismantled by a Stone Man with a casual wave of his hand? The remaining numerous Demon Gods and Demon Saints dared not make a sound, only looking around with uneasy expressions.

They were naturally well-acquainted with the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain; the two Demon Emperors had repeatedly suffered setbacks at his hands, and the Wu Clan had also faded from the Primordial World because of him.

At this moment, they all felt worried about their own futures.

An unknown space and a powerhouse they could not possibly rival—how could they not be anxious?

Tian Yuan paid no mind to what Baize and the others were thinking; with a wave of his large hand, the Fusang Wood descended toward the rolling flames in the distance.

The massive, dense giant tree swept past, immediately causing the raging flames to surge.

Watching the many Fire Snakes struggling to emerge from the Earth Veins, Tian Yuan was very satisfied. Nodding, he stepped out and darted toward the Eastern Land.

The Consciousness Space was no longer what it used to be, and Tian Yuan did not need to worry about the safety of these members of the Demon Race.

The Earth Veins in the East had already been cleared, and the clearing of the Northern Earth Veins was in the Primordial World; capturing these members of the Demon Race was entirely for the manifestation of the laws.

Of course, the only exception was Changxi; at this moment, a silver line also rose from the top of her head, pouring into that region of the firmament.

Changxi, like Xihe, was a Lunar Fairy and could accelerate the manifestation of the Lunar Star.

Just now, over a hundred types of laws had already manifested; he should go and deal with the Spiritual Roots obtained from the Demon Court.

The members of the Demon Court, who had been feeling uneasy, were all stunned on the spot as they watched Tian Yuan leave just like that; even Baize was no exception.

He had broken through the Demon Court Array and captured so many Demon Gods and Demon Saints, yet now he had left without saying a word.

Baize opened his mouth, watched Tian Yuan's back disappear in a flash, and turned to look at Xihe beside him.

Xihe had been captured along with the ten Crown Princes for tens of thousands of years; perhaps she knew everything.

However, Xihe paid no attention to this right now, her mind entirely on the Demon Emperor Di Jun: "Why are the Demon Emperors not here?"

With such a major event happening in the Demon Court, Xihe truly could not understand how Di Jun and Taiyi could not have appeared.

As she spoke, Xihe's gaze swept over Baize and the others nearby, her eyes full of confusion.

Baize cupped his hands and responded softly, "Earlier, the Demon Emperors went into deep seclusion; we do not know the specifics! However, some time ago, there were anomalies in the Sun Star and the Lunar Star, which might be related to the two Demon Emperors."

Changxi, who was waiting on the side, nodded slightly.

Although she was Di Jun's consort, she did not know much either.

Tian Yuan had come too quickly; he had broken into the Demon Court with almost no effort, and capturing them had been a mere trifle.

Meeting those blank eyes, Xihe frowned deeply.

The only thing she could be certain of was that the two Demon Emperors had not appeared here and were likely still in the Primordial World.

But now that many Demon Gods and Demon Saints of the Demon Court had been captured, the Demon Court's luck must have largely drained away, and coupled with Tian Yuan Proving the Dao to Hunyuan...

Xihe guessed in her heart that even if the two Demon Emperors had taken that step, they would likely still be unable to resist the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain.

Recalling that figure, a sense of powerlessness rose in Xihe's heart.

Even the protagonists of Heaven and Earth could not rival him; what kind of background did that guy have?

"Mother!"

"Mother! Will Father still come to save us?"

The ten Little Golden Crows gathered around, their delicate faces filled with worry.

With the appearance of the Fusang Wood and so many powerhouses from the Demon Court, the Little Golden Crows also understood what had happened.

Xihe did not answer, only letting out a deep sigh.

Perhaps, as Tian Yuan had said, only by clearing all the flames in this Southern Land would they have a chance to get out.

Arriving at the Eastern Land, Tian Yuan waved his large hand, and one by one, Spiritual Roots flew out.

They scattered and landed among the many mountains, rivers, and lakes all around, emitting a faint glow.

With the planting of the many Spiritual Roots, Tian Yuan could clearly feel the changes in the spiritual energy of the Eastern Land.

Tian Yuan was very satisfied with this result.

Standing proudly in the sky, Tian Yuan was about to leave, but he frowned and looked up at the firmament.

Ten thousand years had passed since the sermon, and the ten Little Golden Crows were no longer what they used to be, but the outline of the Sun Star in the firmament remained that crescent shape.

Muttering to himself, Tian Yuan leaped up and followed the red lines above the Little Golden Crows' heads to that crimson land.

In the distance, the Lunar Star already had a complete outline, though it looked very faint.

But the Sun Star before him seemed to have maintained its crescent shape for a long time.

At first, Tian Yuan thought it was because the Little Golden Crows' cultivation realm was too low, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

Standing on the side, Tian Yuan observed carefully for a while, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

His feeling was correct; the manifested Sun Star was only crescent-shaped, not even half-complete, and it had nothing to do with the strength of the Golden Crows.

The true master of the Lunar Star was not Changxi or Xihe, but the Fairy Wangshu.

Wangshu, Di Jun, and Taiyi were not in this space; why could the Lunar Star manifest completely, while the Sun Star remained in this state?

"Could it be because Hongjun has merged his body with the Heavenly Dao?" Tian Yuan frowned, his eyes filled with gravity.

Only the manifested Sun Star represents the Heavenly Dao Will controlled by Di Jun and Taiyi.

As for the larger part that has not manifested, it has already been directly or indirectly grasped by Hongjun; it seems only this can explain it.

If this is truly the case, wanting the Sun Star to manifest in this space is likely not just ordinarily difficult.

This means the revival of the Heavenly Dao Will is far more difficult than he had imagined.

"I hope that after this sermon, Humanity and the Earthly Dao can have some changes!" With the Heavenly Dao temporarily unreliable, Tian Yuan could only place his hopes on the remaining two.

With the Hunyuan Dao passed down, the Demon Court's luck shattered, and Humanity Luck returning to the Primordial World, Hongyun will certainly have a great harvest.

After carefully studying the Sun Star for a while, Tian Yuan returned to Mount Buzhou.

There was still some time before the sermon; many living beings had awakened at the foot of the mountain, but not a single one had left.

Glancing at Nuwa, Hongyun, and the others who were in quiet meditation, Tian Yuan sat quietly on Mount Buzhou and began to temper the Law of Force.

With the Hunyuan Dao passed down, Hongjun had no unusual movements, which gave Tian Yuan a slight sense of urgency.

After Proving the Dao to Hunyuan, his comprehension of the Three Thousand Laws had significantly increased, and his cultivation was much faster than before, so he naturally had to seize the time to practice. As for those who came to listen to the sermon, Tian Yuan had no intention of paying them any mind.

The Hunyuan Dao had already been passed down, so they should go back the way they came; he had no interest in taking on disciples.

Outside the Primordial World, Earth Wind Water Fire surged, and Chaos lightning flickered.

In the depths of that Chaos, a towering palace floated, emitting a vast and ancient aura.

The palace was massive and mysterious, merging with the Chaos as if it had existed since ancient times; it was precisely the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's dojo—Purple Heaven Palace.

Amidst the raging Chaos lightning, three figures streaked across and landed steadily outside the Purple Heaven Palace.

Looking at the tightly shut gates of the Purple Heaven Palace before them, the Three Pure Ones shouted in unison: "Disciples Laozi (Yuanshi, Tongtian) request an audience with Master!"

Just as their words fell, two more figures landed in the Chaos behind them; they were the Western Two Sages.

"Disciples Jieyin (Zhunti) pay respects to Master!" The two also dared not have any doubts and offered their greetings respectfully.

The sound echoed through the Chaos, but the gates before them remained tightly shut, without any movement.

Neither the Three Pure Ones nor the Western Two Sages moved; they just waited quietly outside the gates.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with endless doubts, not only about Tian Yuan's identity but also about that Hunyuan Dao.

After a long while, a faint sigh sounded from within the silent Purple Heaven Palace.

The five people waiting respectfully all had slight changes in their expressions; watching the Purple Heaven Palace gates slowly open before them, Laozi was the first to stride inside.

The remaining Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian followed without hesitation, while Jieyin and Zhunti brought up the rear.

The familiar environment, the familiar great hall, the familiar Six Meditation Cushions, yet it was completely empty.

The Three Pure Ones sat on the first three cushions, the Western Two Sages sat on the two behind, and only Nuwa's position remained empty.

The five sitting in silence did not speak, just waiting quietly.

It seemed as if a moment had passed, and yet it also felt like a long age had gone by; a buzzing sound came from the front, Dao Rhyme dissipated, and the Three Thousand Laws poured down.

Amidst the surging tide of laws, a figure appeared, seemingly illusory, as if merged with the surrounding space, so much so that even they could not see clearly.

If not for the fact that the five were looking with their own eyes, they would not have been able to sense the other's existence.

As time passed, an aura would occasionally leak out, causing the expressions of the five in the hall to shift slightly.

That vast and majestic momentum seemed to return to the time of the original Purple Heaven Palace sermon, yet they had clearly already become Saints.

Having achieved the status of Heavenly Dao Saint, they were still so weak in front of Hongjun.

Laozi sat with his eyes closed, recovering his usual indifference; Tongtian's eyes were half-closed, revealing a cold pride.

Only Yuanshi Tianzun had a faint look of joy on his arrogant face.

With a Master so remarkable, there must surely be a method for future cultivation; coming to Purple Heaven Palace was not a mistake.

As long as Master passes down more Dao techniques to them, dealing with the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain would be easy.

The Western Two Sages at the end dared not show anything and had lowered their heads early on.

They did not have the background of the Three Pure Ones, and they knew very well why they were here.

With the Dao Ancestor being so powerful, clinging to this big thigh in the future would be the right choice.

With the Three Pure Ones in front and Master presiding over the Purple Heaven Palace behind, what did they have to fear from that Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain?

Hongjun, who had revealed his form, did not speak, and the Three Pure Ones and the others below also remained silent; the Purple Heaven Palace fell into stillness once again.

In the long wait, Yuanshi Tianzun was the first to lose his patience and spoke first: "Master, that Tian Yuan acts against the heavens and disrupts the great trend of the world; what is his origin?"

This was what Yuanshi Tianzun was most curious about; they, the Three Pure Ones, had not been able to control Mount Buzhou, yet a mere stone man had such ability, and Yuanshi Tianzun was very unconvinced.

Even if that Tian Yuan was a transformation of Mount Buzhou, Yuanshi Tianzun was still unwilling to accept it.

In the entire Primordial World, whose background could compare to them, the Three Pure Ones? Laozi and the others showed no change in expression, as if it had nothing to do with them, not caring in the slightest.

"A mere Outer Realm Heavenly Demon!"

The ethereal Dao voice came, echoing throughout the entire Purple Heaven Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned; Laozi and the others, who had been indifferent, opened their eyes wide at the same time, each looking up at Hongjun in the seat of honor.

A sharp light flashed in Laozi's eyes, but in the end, his expression became indifferent once more.

Tongtian stared with wide eyes, making no effort to hide his disbelief.

He had seen all the changes in the Primordial World over these years.

The prestige of Mount Buzhou had greatly increased, the spiritual energy of the entire world had surged, and the Primordial World itself had expanded quite a bit.

Not long ago, the Hunyuan Dao was even passed down, blessing all the living beings of the Primordial World.

If Tian Yuan were truly an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, how could he benefit the world like this?

Tongtian did not believe it for a second! Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, suppressing the shock in their hearts, and did not say a word.

They knew their status very well; they were merely Nominal Disciples of the Master, and being able to enter the Purple Heaven Palace was already quite good; how could they dare to speak recklessly?

Yuanshi Tianzun was astonished and cried out: "An Outer Realm Heavenly Demon? Then this person's schemes are truly vast!"

The methods of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon are bizarre; perhaps it possessed Mount Buzhou.

Otherwise, given Mount Buzhou's duty of supporting heaven and earth, how could it have taken human form? The more Yuanshi Tianzun thought about it, the more possible he felt it was.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly performed secret divinations.

Yet, as Tian Yuan has already achieved Proving the Dao to Hunyuan and has such a close relationship with Mount Buzhou, even by relying on his Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, he gained nothing at all.

Hongjun, sitting at the head, did not offer any further response.

The Purple Heaven Palace became quiet once again, but deep within those pairs of Chaos eyes, there was no longer any tranquility.

They could not directly divine the origin of Tian Yuan, but with the Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao manifesting, Hongjun had not deceived them.

This meant that the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain was indeed not a creature of the Primordial World.

Even the calmed Tongtian Jiaozhu had not considered this possibility.

He raised his head slightly, swept a glance at the figure sitting quietly at the head, and closed his eyes once more.

So what if he is an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon? At the very least, Tian Yuan has brought benefits to the entire Primordial heaven and earth.

If one says Tian Yuan is an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, then what is the origin of you, the Dao Ancestor of Purple Heaven Palace?

Regarding this first Saint of the Primordial World, Tongtian no longer held any trust.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not speak again, and the hall became quiet, while at this moment, in the Nether Blood Sea.

Minghe stood in the depths of the Sea of Blood, an inexplicable will radiating from his body, rapidly spreading toward the entire Sea of Blood.

A kind of inexplicable Dao Rhyme overflowed from the Sea of Blood, shrouding it.

In a trance, Minghe saw a space manifest before his eyes.

"An opportunity! My destined chance has finally arrived!" Minghe shouted joyfully.

Within the Sea of Blood, a profound heaven and earth suddenly opened up, landing before him.

Overjoyed, Minghe strode into it.
