After merely observing Zhenyuanzi's demonstration once, Chen Ku directly comprehended this divine ability.

Translation: "Just after observing Zhenyuanzi's demonstration once, Chen Ku directly comprehended this divine ability."

Just after observing Zhenyuanzi's demonstration once, Chen Ku directly comprehended this divine ability.

It truly surprised him, and he felt a mix of astonishment and delight.

Translation: "It truly was somewhat unexpected, and he felt a mix of surprise and joy."

You should know, in later legends, among the two supreme spatial divine abilities of the wilderness.

Translation: "You must know, in later legends, among the two top-tier spatial divine abilities in the wilderness."

You should know, in later legends, among the two supreme spatial divine abilities of the wilderness.

One is the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, the other is the Universe in the Sleeve.

Translation: "One is the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, the other is the Universe in the Sleeve."

As for the former, Chen Ku has long mastered it, and now it has grown to an astonishing extent.

Translation: "The former, Chen Ku had already mastered, and now it has grown to an astonishing extent."

And with this realization, Chen Ku has fully mastered both spatial divine abilities.

Translation: "And with this comprehension, Chen Ku now fully grasps both spatial divine abilities."

In future battles against enemies, he will undoubtedly wield them with even greater ease, like a tiger given wings.

Translation: "In future battles, he will undoubtedly be even more adept, like a tiger gaining wings."

They chatted and laughed freely, feeling utterly content.

Translation: "They chatted and laughed, the atmosphere extremely pleasant."

Beyond Mount Sumeru by countless miles, innumerable western beings were also in an uproar.

Translation: "Beyond Mount Sumeru by countless miles, myriad Western beings were also in an uproar."

To them, the West is barren, having lain waste for endless ages.

Translation: "To them, the West was barren, already wasted for endless ages."

Now, Chen Ku and his companions' discussion of the Dao has widely spread profound teachings of cultivation, giving all beings renewed hope in the path.

Translation: "And now, Chen Ku and company's discussion of the Dao, widely spreading the subtleties of cultivation, has given all beings hope of cultivation once again."

How could beings not be delighted?!

Translation: "How could beings not be delighted?!"

However, such joy did not last long.

Translation: "But such delight did not last long."

At a certain moment, the western beings dwelling on the outermost fringe suddenly felt something, and their faces changed dramatically.

Translation: "At one moment, the Western beings on the outermost fringe suddenly felt something, their faces drastically changing."

"What is that?!"

Translation: "\"What is that?! \""

"Hiss... why has a sharp killing intent suddenly surged?"

Translation: "\"Hiss... why does a sharp killing intent suddenly surge? \""

"Damn it, could another calamity be upon us, must the West again endure slaughter?"

Translation: "\"Damn it, could another calamity be descending, must my West again endure slaughter? \""

Gazes turned toward the endless heavens above.

Translation: "Gazes looked up toward the endless high heavens."

Only to see, at some unknown time, a massive shadow that blotted out the sky and sun appeared.

Translation: "Only to see, at some unknown time, a huge shadow that blotted out the sky and sun appeared."

Fixing their gaze, they saw countless figures stretching across, densely packed, innumerable.

Translation: "Gazing intently, it was indeed countless figures stretching across, densely packed, innumerable."

Needless to say, this is the great army of the demon clan arriving.

Translation: "Needless to say, this is precisely the arrival of the Demon Race's great army."

Leading them were Emperor Jun and Taiyi, with grim faces, mighty presence, and an aura that overwhelmed the heart.

Translation: "But see, led by Di Jun and Taiyi, with grim faces, mighty momentum, and pressure that seizes the heart and soul."

Beside them followed Fuxi and Kunpeng, top-tier primordial experts whose vital energy was as vast as an abyss, beyond words.

Translation: "Beside them, Fuxi and the Kunpeng followed; as top-tier primordial experts, their aura was equally vast as an abyss, indescribable."

The Ten Great Demon Saints, the Ten Great Demon Gods, and so on, along with hundreds of millions of demon beings.

Translation: "Ten Great Demon Saints, Ten Great Demon Gods, and so on, as well as hundreds of millions of Demon Race beings."

Faintly visible, each demon being displayed a ferocious expression, hostile intent, and a raging aura.

Translation: "Faintly visible, each Demon Race being revealed a ferocious expression, hostile intent, and a raging momentum."

Terrifying!

Translation: "Terrifying!"

An indescribable great terror!

Translation: "An indescribable great terror!"

In the eyes of countless beings, the demon clan's mighty momentum was like dark clouds covering the sky, enveloping the vast West, causing a feeling of unease.

Translation: "In the eyes of countless beings, the Demon Race's momentum was so vast, like dark clouds gathering to cover the sky and earth, enveloping the vast West, causing a feeling of unease."

Even some western beings involuntarily recalled the fear from when they were dominated by the ancient heavenly war.

Translation: "Even, some Western beings involuntarily recalled the fear of being dominated by the primordial heavenly war."

Their pupils contracted sharply, and their expressions changed abruptly.

Translation: "Their pupils contracted sharply, their expressions suddenly changed."

The ancient Dao-Demon conflict left the West devastated and desolate to this day.

Translation: "The primordial Dao-Demon conflict left the West devastated and desolate to this day."

Only with great difficulty did we now have such a remarkable scene, and the primordial sages spreading the Dao.

Translation: "Only with great difficulty did we obtain today's rather extraordinary scene, and the primordial experts spreading the Dao and transmitting teachings."

And now, is another great war about to erupt in the Western heavens and earth?!

Translation: "And now, the West's heaven and earth, is another great war about to erupt?!"

Panic and alarm intertwined!

Translation: "Panic and alarm intertwined!"

Anxious and uneasy!

Translation: "Anxious and uneasy!"

Even panic began to spread gradually.

Translation: "Even panic spread gradually."

At the same time!

Translation: "At the same time!"

Between heaven and earth, various mighty experts have also taken note of the demon clan's movements.

Translation: "Between heaven and earth, various great experts have also taken notice of the Demon Race's movements."

In Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones glanced sideways.

Translation: "In Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones glanced askance."

"This... has the West provoked the demon clan?"

Translation: "\"This... has the West provoked the Demon Race? \""

Laozi spoke, his eyes also showing a hint of astonishment.

Translation: "Laozi spoke, his eyes also showing some astonishment."

Jieyin and Zhunti, who cultivate in the West, are actually billions of billions of miles away from the demon court.

Translation: "Jieyin and Zhunti and company cultivate in the West, far from the Demon Court by hundreds of millions of miles."

That these two sides could spark conflict was something Laozi did not anticipate.

Translation: "That these two sides could give rise to conflict was something Laozi did not anticipate."

Moreover, what could prompt Emperor Jun and Taiyi to spare no effort crossing heaven and earth to challenge the West.

Translation: "Moreover, to make Di Jun, Taiyi and company not hesitate to traverse heaven and earth to provoke the West."

One can imagine that the hatred between them has reached an almost irreconcilable level.

Translation: "One can imagine that the hatred between them has also reached an irreconcilable degree."

However, shortly thereafter, Laozi revealed an intrigued expression.

Translation: "However, shortly after, Laozi revealed an interested expression."

"Hehe, this is also good!"

Translation: "\"Hehe, this is also good! \""

"Perhaps we too can get a glimpse of the true strength of Jieyin and Zhunti......"

Translation: "\"Perhaps we too can get a glimpse of Jieyin and Zhunti's true strength...... \""

Laozi was completely in the mode of watching a show.

Translation: "Laozi completely had the air of a spectator."

Meanwhile, Yuan Shi openly displayed his contempt and disdain for the demon clan.

Translation: "Meanwhile, Yuanshi openly showed his contempt and disdain for the Demon Race."

"Hmph, a bunch of moisture-born egg-transformed wretches dare to act so arrogantly?!"

Translation: "\"Hmph, a bunch of moist-born egg-transformed rascals, dare they act so arrogantly?! \""

"Are even the disciples of sages capable of standing firm against Emperor Jun and Taiyi?"

Translation: "\"Are disciples of Saints also able to confront Di Jun, Taiyi and company head-on? \""

Yuan Shi has no particular rapport with Jieyin and Zhunti, and certainly isn't speaking to them.

Translation: "Yuanshi had no rapport with Jieyin and Zhunti, nor was he speaking to them."

He simply looks down on the demon clan.

Translation: "He simply looked down on the Demon Race."

Thus, seeing the demon clan today so mighty and revealing their full might, Yuan Shi feels quite displeased.

Translation: "Thus, seeing the Demon Race today so mighty, their ferocity fully exposed, made Yuanshi feel quite displeased."

The last person, Tongtian, did not speak, merely furrowing his brows slightly, as if deep in thought.

Translation: "Lastly, Tongtian did not speak, merely furrowing his brows slightly, as if in thought."

This time, the demon clan has indeed gone a bit overboard.

Translation: "This time, the Demon Race has indeed gone somewhat overboard."

Apparently, after destroying the celestial court of Dong Wanggong, Emperor Jun and Taiyi have become a bit conceited.

Translation: "Apparently, after the destruction of Dong Wanggong's Xiating, Di Jun, Taiyi and company became somewhat arrogant."

Moreover, Tongtian also does not believe that this time the West will be completely suppressed by the demon clan.

Translation: "Moreover, Tongtian also does not believe that this time the West will be completely suppressed by the Demon Race."

After all, at their level, a great battle cannot be won by numbers alone.

The relative strength of the top experts on both sides is enough to decide victory or defeat.

It can even be said that, even if the Demon Race numbered in the hundreds of millions, they could not make up for this gap.

"This time, did the Demon Race come prepared, or are they just asking for suffering?"

The Three Pure Ones continued to keep watch over the scene in the West.

Elsewhere!

Nüwa's beautiful eyes were deep and profound, piercing through all void, taking in everything of the West at a glance.

However, only she herself knew that her gaze was fixed solely on Fuxi.

"Brother Fuxi, you shouldn't be allied with the Demon Race..."

Nüwa muttered to herself, her words betraying an undisguisable worry.

First, she is naturally tranquil and dislikes conflict, so she does not wish to see the Demon Race waging such massive warfare, disturbing the world's peace.

Second, and more importantly, the Demon Race's ferocious aspect has just begun to show, and karma has already caught up with them.

Moreover, her elder brother Fuxi's deep involvement with the Demon Race also makes Nüwa unable to help but worry.

But she also knows that, even if she sent a divine-sense voice transmission now, saying anything more would be useless.

After a long silence, Nüwa could only quietly observe how events unfolded.

The Netherworld Sea of Blood!

Minghe Old Ancestor's expression was grim and vicious, his eyes cruel.

"Haha, good, excellent!"

"Hmph, those shameless wretches of the West have finally invited great disaster upon themselves."

"Fight, fight; if we could wipe out those few from the West in one fell swoop, that would be best."

Minghe's face was flushed with excitement and ecstatic joy.

In the past, Chen Ku, relying on the backing of Jieyin and Zhunti, brazenly seized the opportunity for the banana fan that originally belonged to Minghe.

Even though thousands of years have passed, whenever he recalls it, Minghe Old Ancestor still grits his teeth in hatred.

However, his own strength is insufficient; if he were to provoke Jieyin and Zhunti himself, it would be nothing short of self-inflicted suffering.

This left Minghe Old Ancestor feeling very stifled!

But today, seeing the Demon Race's mighty army mobilize and launch a massive assault on the West exactly suits Minghe Old Ancestor's wishes.

He loves a good spectacle, never minding the scale, and cannot help but anticipate it.

This time, if the Demon Race can inflict heavy damage on the West, it will also count as him venting his own spite.

Amidst the varied reactions from all sides,

At this moment, on Mount Xumi,

Chen Ku and company, who had been chatting and laughing, also sensed something and instantly turned their gazes toward the void beyond.

Chen Ku's heart stirred greatly, and at that very moment, the Ziwei Dou Shu Great Divine Ability began to operate on its own.

An ominous portent surfaced.

With the aid of the Heavenly Eye Ability, he also clearly saw the figures of Di Jun, Taiyi, and others, as well as the chilling battle intent emanating from them.

"The Demon Race... has come!"

Chen Ku spoke in a deep voice, his tone flat yet revealing an indescribable aura of killing intent.

Jieyin and Zhunti showed no surprise, nodding slightly, obviously also sensing the approaching danger.

Hongyun's expression changed first, and then she instinctively looked toward the two women, Xihe and Changxi.

Needless to say, everyone also understood the Demon Race's purpose in coming.

They had come specifically for Xihe and Changxi.

Amidst this deathly silence, Xihe and Changxi's complexions also gradually turned pale.
