Chapter 56: Yellow Heaven: This is Bad, the Ten Golden Crows Cannot Be Gathered

Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and Empress Xihe had just finished their intimate closed-door cultivation when they were awakened by the bell tolling in Lingxiao Hall.

Then, they arrived at Lingxiao Hall together.

As soon as they entered, they saw Donghuang Taiyi transform into a streak of light and fly toward the South Heavenly Gate.

Seeing this, Di Jun felt extremely strange; what on earth could have made his second brother so anxious?

At this moment, Empress Xihe suddenly clutched her heart and said sorrowfully, "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel so distressed here!"

Di Jun looked at the spot she was clutching and was momentarily speechless; he said in a gentle tone, "Behave, Xihe, stop messing around!"

"No, it's real, it's as if I've lost something important!"

At this moment, tears also streamed down Xihe's face.

This scene left Di Jun stunned.

Just then, the palace guard who had rung the bell whispered something that left them both terrified.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers guarding the South Heavenly Gate said... they said they heard the Great Prince's angry roar."

Hearing this, Xihe suddenly realized the truth; she immediately grabbed the palace guard by the head and shouted tremblingly.

"The Great Prince is in Tang Valley Jieyu, how could he suddenly appear near the South Heavenly Gate? Speak! You are talking nonsense, aren't you?"

The palace guard, whose head was being gripped, looked at Empress Xihe's ferocious face and suddenly felt a chill in his heart; he hurriedly said.

"Empress, I am wronged, this subordinate only heard it from the South Heavenly guards, and besides, His Majesty Donghuang has already gone to investigate!"

Beside them, mysterious yellow Qi flashed in Di Jun's eyes as he probed the Tianji for a moment.

However.

Under the Great Calamity, with various forces laying out their schemes, the Tianji was already in complete chaos; how could it be probed?

Subsequently, a complex look flashed in Di Jun's eyes.

Then he said to Xihe.

"Xihe, you return to the bedchamber first, I will go and see!"

After speaking, he transformed into a golden rainbow streak of light and flew toward the South Heavenly Gate.

Leaving behind Xihe, who was clutching her chest and crying inexplicably, and the bewildered palace guard.

As it happened.

Just as the Great Prince brought the Tenth Prince near the South Heavenly Gate and was about to call for the South Heavenly Gate guards to protect them, he and the Tenth Prince beside him simultaneously sensed a chill in their hearts that made them shudder.

Immediately, unable to care about stopping, he roared directly toward the South Heavenly Gate: "Protect us~"

Then he pulled the Tenth Prince, who was frozen by the chill, and flew away rapidly.

Just as he was about to arrive, and the surrounding guards saw them.

A pitch-black streak of light shot toward them rapidly.

With his heart and gallbladder splitting in terror, the Great Prince did not hesitate to throw the Tenth Prince from under his claws toward the guards in front, while he himself laughed loudly with tears streaming down his face, actively meeting that pitch-black streak of light.

He did not dodge again, because he knew everything was futile.

Only after he personally faced this arrow.

Did he understand why the other Golden Crow brothers did not dodge; it was because they simply could not dodge at all!

Because no matter which way they dodged or flew, they could not expel the inexplicable chill in their hearts.

He knew they had been locked onto by a powerful will.

No matter how they dodged, that arrow would find them, pierce through them, and then destroy their primordial spirits!

And to break this lock, only an existence stronger than the shooter could shatter the arrow's momentum.

Fortunately, he had just thrown the Tenth Prince out; he should survive, right?

The Great Prince thought with sorrow in his heart.

Subsequently.

He felt an inexplicable pain in his chest, followed by a sensation of intense devouring, which swallowed his primordial spirit bit by bit, until he could no longer feel any matter or thought.

What he did not know was.

That arrow did not fly into the distance after piercing him, but instead continued to fly toward the Tenth Prince among the guards!

The South Heavenly Gate.

Because the matter was too sudden, the many guards had not yet figured out why the Prince would appear at the South Heavenly Gate.

That arrow had already shot toward the Tenth Prince.

At the same time, they saw the Great Prince transform into a fireball and fall toward the Primordial Land.

Subsequently, they heard a roar from behind.

"Little Ten!!"

Donghuang Taiyi had just revealed his figure at the South Heavenly Gate when he saw a pitch-black streak of light arrow shooting toward the terrified Little Ten.

At the same time, he also saw the eldest falling toward the Primordial Land.

Although he wanted to check on the eldest's situation, saving Little Ten was the most important thing right now!

Because.

He saw at a glance that the arrow was filled with a terrifying baleful aura of soul-seizing and spirit-destroying intent.

With no time to think, a huge Chaos Bell instantly appeared in front of him, and he raised his hand and struck it heavily.

Dang~

Immediately following was a terrifying ripple that spread rapidly toward the surroundings at a speed exceeding space.

Wherever the ripple passed, within a million miles, all things were silent, time and space paused, and everyone, including that arrow, was frozen together in this instant.

Subsequently.

Donghuang Taiyi arrived beside that arrow in an instant, reached out, and swatted it far away, where it turned into a streak of light and vanished at the East Sea Coast.

Following this, Donghuang Taiyi looked in the direction the arrow had come from with an angry expression.

Shortly after, he saw the Great Witch Houyi, who had just put away his bow, in the direction of the Yellow River Basin below.

"Wu Clan brat, you are courting death!!"

"Die!!"

Having said that, Donghuang Taiyi, with a face full of fury, tore through layers of space and descended directly upon the Yellow River Basin.

After he left.

The flow of time and space around the South Heavenly Gate returned to its normal speed, and the figure of the Demon Emperor Di Jun appeared out of thin air.

He looked at the still-shaken Tenth Prince with a face full of gloom and grief.

When the Tenth Prince saw that it was his Imperial Father, he could no longer hold back, threw himself onto him, and began to wail bitterly.

Just as Donghuang Taiyi descended upon the Honghuang Yellow River Basin.

The ten suns crossing the sky and the golden crows falling—such a major event had naturally long since attracted the attention of countless people.

Among them were the Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, who was proficient in the Time Law, the Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang, who was proficient in the Space Law, and the Houtu Zuwu, who was closest to the Yellow River Basin.

As Houyi was the Great Witch of her, the Houtu Zuwu, it was naturally impossible for her to watch him die at the hands of Donghuang Taiyi.

Thus.

The moment Donghuang Taiyi descended, she also arrived at Houyi's side.

Immediately following were the Ancestral Witch Dijiang and the Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, who were rushing over.

A great battle was about to erupt right then and there.

Inside a valley not far from the Human Ancestral Land.

A yellow light streaked across the sky and descended here, and then the figure of Huangtian Laozu appeared out of thin air.

"Pah! A bunch of crow spirits, not even one who can fight, yet they still want to snatch things from me!"

As he spoke, Huangtian Laozu spat on the ground with an expression of disgust and disdain.

The saliva landed on a wildflower, instantly making it appear a few shades more vibrant.

"Sigh, it's just a bit of a pity; nine golden crow corpses, and it's still missing one!"

Huangtian Laozu shook his head with a regretful expression.

Saying this, he walked toward the Human Ancestral Land.

After he left, the wildflower on the ground actually bowed slightly toward his departing back from afar.

Afterward, it began to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while swaying in the breeze.

Meanwhile, at the Human Ancestral Land.

Everyone was immersed in cultivation, unable to extricate themselves.

As it turned out, more than two years ago.

Ever since the flaws of the Golden Elixir Great Rice cultivation method were exposed, the Human Race had begun a fervent journey of creating new methods.

There were Immortal Cultivation Methods based on the Golden Elixir Great Rice, as well as God and Demon Body Refining Methods based on the Wu Clan's baleful aura body-refining method.

Although these new methods were very ordinary and most could currently only be cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they were, after all, new methods practiced at the cost of many pioneers.

However, no matter which of these new methods it was, in front of Huangtian Laozu, they all appeared so crude and unsightly.

Thus.

His hands itching, he could not resist helping out, modifying their God and Demon Body Refining Method into one based on elements such as human acupoints, dantian, meridians, and sinews and bones.

Because he himself was not of the Human Race, he only deduced this cultivation system to the level of a 'method', far from reaching the level of a 'Rice'.

Even if one cultivated all the involved human body elements to perfection, their strength would only be equivalent to a True Immortal.

The rest would still have to rely on themselves.

Now that two years had passed, they had used the full strength of the entire race to forcefully deduce the new method improved by Huangtian Laozu to the level of a Golden Immortal.

This made Huangtian Laozu, who was watching in secret, feel gratified.

He believed that before long, the Human Race would be able to use this cultivation method to deduce it to the Great Luo Realm, or even the Hunyuan Realm.

The Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Realm.

In Lingxiao Hall, the Golden Crow Tenth Prince was currently crying bitterly in the arms of the Empress Xihe.

And below.

Was a crowd full of Great Luo Demon Gods; counting carefully, there were as many as a thousand of them.

And on the imperial throne above sat the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun with a gloomy expression.

After he and Donghuang Taiyi had confronted the three Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan for a while, they had returned to the Heavenly Court with expressions of unwillingness.

Just at this moment, Donghuang Taiyi appeared in the great hall out of thin air.

Seeing this, Di Jun immediately asked, "Have the bodies of the eldest and the others been found?"

Donghuang Taiyi only shook his head with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Xihe, who was nearby, could no longer suppress her voice and cried out in grief along with the Tenth Prince.

"Very well! Wu Clan, this Emperor swears to be at odds with you until death~"

After Di Jun staggered back onto the imperial throne, he also roared with a face full of hatred.

Having said that, he looked at the weeping Tenth Prince beside him and immediately cursed with a livid face: "Rebellious son! Tell me, how did you all leave the Tang Valley Jieyu?"

"Your Imperial Father told you a thousand times that you ten brothers must never appear in Honghuang at the same time; why did you not listen to your Imperial Father's words?"

The Tenth Prince, who had never seen his Imperial Father so angry, trembled, shrinking into Xihe's arms and shivering incessantly.

"Big Brother, calm down!" Donghuang Taiyi, who was to the side, hurriedly pressed down on the angry Di Jun.

Afterward, he turned his head and said softly to the Tenth Prince in Xihe's arms: "Tenth Prince, tell your uncle, how did you all leave the Tang Valley Jieyu?"

The Tenth Prince gradually calmed down at this moment, and after carefully glancing at Di Jun, who was glaring at him, he spoke with a slight hesitation.

After listening to the sequence of events recounted by the Tenth Prince.

The expressions of everyone present immediately grew heavy.

Seeing this, the Tenth Prince finally wept in a low voice: "Father Emperor, after my brothers and I finished refining that core of light, I felt a great desire welling up in my heart, which is why I left the Tanggu Jieyu without authorization."

"Eldest Brother, we..." At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi glanced at the terrifyingly calm Di Jun.

Di Jun looked at everyone present with a gloomy face, then suddenly asked: "Where is the Xi Emperor?"

Then, the Demon Saint Baize stepped forward and spoke.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xi Emperor should still be at the Human Ancestral Land at this time!"

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi, who was to the side, could no longer restrain himself; he shouted angrily with a furious expression: "Does he still have the Demon Race in his eyes? The Human Race, the Human Race! This Emperor will exterminate them sooner or later! Kill!"

"Enough!"

Di Jun roared at him with a gloomy face.

Then, while Donghuang Taiyi looked unwilling, Di Jun said to Baize: "Notify the Xi Emperor that this Emperor has urgent matters to discuss with him!"

"As you command!"

After saying this, Baize turned and left the Lingxiao Hall.
