Chapter 236: Imprisoning the Ten Golden Crows, Hou Yi and Kua Fu Express Doubt!
At this moment, above the nine heavens.
Ten Golden Crows streaked across the sky.
Each of their figures was immensely vast and unmatched, blocking the sky and covering the sun.
Their bodies were engulfed in boundless solar true fire, blazing intensely, emitting heat intense enough to incinerate all things.
To all beings, it appeared as ten suns streaking across the sky.
For the myriad beings of the world, this was a catastrophe akin to a heaven-overturning calamity.
The earth cracked, and stalk after stalk of jeweled herbs and immortal blossoms withered, turning yellow and decaying.
Even vast expanses of innate spiritual roots were directly ignited, burned to blackened char, and ultimately lost all spiritual light.
Upon the earth, beings wailed in unison, their miserable cries continuous.
"Heavens, what is happening?!"
"Hiss... it is the ten golden crows of the demon race."
"What do they intend? Do they aim to utterly destroy this realm of heaven and earth?!"
"Damn it, damn it, the witch-demon conflict has nothing to do with us ordinary beings."
Voices of such talk continued without cease.
Some mighty powerhouses, with keen divine sense, instantly discerned that these were the ten sons of Emperor Jun, born on the same day.
Furthermore, you should know that prior to this, the sun star also emitted astonishing heat.
But it was situated in the primordial universe, far from the primordial heaven and earth.
But now, the ten golden crows are directly suspended high above the primordial heaven and earth.
The terror they stir up is utterly incomparable.
Upon the earth, wailing continues without cease.
Yet above the high heavens, the ten golden crows continue to talk and laugh.
"Haha, so this is the primordial heaven and earth? Indeed, it's great fun."
"Yes, yes, brothers, look—countless living beings fear us."
"Hehe, I said, Father King's worry is truly unnecessary."
"We are Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouses; who in the world dares to obstruct us?"
In fact, at this moment, between heaven and earth, countless mighty powerhouses glare angrily.
However, merely intimidated by the demon race's might, they dare not act against these ten golden crows.
But the ten golden crows have never been born into the world; they are entirely childlike in nature.
In their eyes, all beings are intimidated by their power and dare not resist in the slightest.
Thus, the ten golden crows become even more arrogant and unrestrained.
Ten figures flashed across the void at extreme speed.
Wherever they passed, the solar true fire continued to spread without pause.
This scene can be called a world-ending catastrophe, an indescribable supreme terror.
Of course, ordinary beings, intimidated by the demon race's might, should endure in silence to preserve themselves.
But the Wu Clan fears the demon race not at all.
At this moment, beneath Mount Buzhou, a towering figure with bulging muscles also gazes at the ten golden crows with eyes flashing cold lightning.
This person is none other than Kua Fu, one of the eight great witches.
"Damn it!"
"You demonic beasts, dare to slaughter beings like this—you're asking for death!"
On Kua Fu's rugged, resolute face, anger now filled his expression.
With a furious roar, Kua Fu immediately struck out.
He leapt forward and unleashed a fierce punch.
Boom!
Heavenly sound shattered, the void exploded with noise.
This punch carried the force to rend the heavens, arriving instantly.
In the blink of an eye, it landed upon one of the golden crows.
A dull thud rang out; the golden crow, previously unconcerned, instantly flung its body aloft, scattering golden blood rain across the high heavens.
"Ah......"
The golden crow cried out in anguish.
Seeing this, the remaining nine golden crows also changed expression dramatically.
"The Wu Clan, it is the Wu Clan who has acted."
"Brothers, this person is not someone we can contend with."
"Flee quickly; we will wear him down with our speed!"
Among the ten golden crows, the leader, Bo Rang, exclaimed in surprise, recognizing Kua Fu's identity as a Wu Clan member.
In the past, while among the demon race, he had also heard that the demon race's greatest opponent now is the Wu Clan.
Moreover, from Kua Fu's punch, he realized that he and his companions are no match for Kua Fu.
He then shouted loudly.
As his words fell, the ten golden crows flickered, transforming into streaks of rainbow light that shot forth, their speed suddenly increasing as they flew away into the distance.
Kua Fu did not relent, continuing his swift pursuit, chasing after the ten golden crows to slay them.
With each step he took, a tremendous heavenly sound roared around him, deafening and soul-shaking.
However, you should know that Kuafu ultimately did not master the laws of space.
Terms: Kuafu – a mythological figure. Include it as Kuafu. Also space law is a generic concept, so exclude it.
Moreover, the ten golden crows unleashed true solar fire, scorching Kuafu.
Terms: ten golden crows – include as ten golden crows; true solar fire – generic concept, exclude; Kuafu – already included.
Soon, Kuafu could not catch up with the ten golden crows.
Terms: Kuafu and ten golden crows.
Amid such a fierce and relentless pursuit.
No proper terms.
Before they knew it, the two sides had stretched across billions of miles of the Primordial Wilderness.
Terms: Primordial Wilderness (include as Primordial Wilderness).
At one point, where the true solar fire swept across the land, humanity's anguished cries and pleas for help rang out.
Terms: humanity (include as humanity); true solar fire (generic, exclude); the land (generic).
"Heavens, what is that?!"
No terms.
Some humans cried out in alarm.
Terms: humanity (already included); beings (generic).
To them, the sight of ten suns crossing the sky was truly shocking, making humanity feel their gallbladders about to burst and their hair stand on end.
Terms: ten suns (generic, exclude); humanity's beings (generic).
Actually, this place is not humanity's ancestral land.
Terms: ancestral land of humanity (generic).
But over the years, humanity has continually developed and multiplied, its numbers already reaching a terrifying level.
Terms: humanity.
Therefore, it also spreads widely, ensuring that human beings are found throughout every region of the Primordial Wilderness.
Terms: Primordial Wilderness (include as Primordial Wilderness); humanity.
By a strange coincidence, under Kuafu's pursuit, the ten golden crows ended up fleeing into a region of human territory.
Terms: Kuafu (include as Kuafu); ten golden crows (include as ten golden crows); human territory (generic, exclude).
As the cries subsided, the true solar fire surged rapidly.
Terms: true solar fire (generic, exclude).
Wherever the flames spread, they had already affected human beings.
Terms: humanity.
"Hiss... what a terrifying flame."
No.
"If we were caught up in it, how could there be any way to survive?!"
No.
"Who can save us?"
No.
"Holy Mother... Holy Father... that's right, we humanity have the Holy Mother and Holy Father above."
Terms: Holy Mother (include as Holy Mother); Holy Father (include as Holy Father); humanity.
"If they intervene, they will surely be able to keep us safe."
No.
"Holy Mother, Holy Father above, please have mercy on humanity and protect us."
Terms: Holy Mother (include as Holy Mother); Holy Father (include as Holy Father); humanity.
Humanity reacted in unison, recalling Nüwa and Chen Ku.
Terms: humanity; Nüwa (include as Nüwa); Chen Ku (include as Chen Ku).
In ancient times, when humanity first came into being, they once revered them as Holy Mother and Holy Father.
Terms: humanity; Holy Mother (include as Holy Mother); Holy Father (include as Holy Father).
Therefore, voices rose to the heavens, pleading for the two to intervene and protect humanity.
Terms: humanity.
Moreover, let's not discuss how Nüwa reacted.
Terms: Nüwa (include as Nüwa).
Western Heaven and Earth.
Terms: Western Heaven and Earth (include as Western Heaven and Earth).
Chen Ku had also heard humanity's cries.
Terms: Chen Ku (include as Chen Ku); humanity.
"Ku..."
Terms: 'Ku' – a form of address for Chen Ku; not a proper name, so exclude.
"After all, this catastrophe has still drawn humanity into it, hasn't it?"
Terms: humanity.
Chen Ku let out a quiet sigh.
Terms: Chen Ku.
Immediately, without hesitation, he opened the Gate of All Mysteries with a thought.
Terms: Gate of All Mysteries (include as Gate of All Mysteries).
It is not that Chen Ku is warlike.
Terms: Chen Ku.
But rather, he had once promised humanity that if they invoked the name 'Holy Father', Chen Ku would naturally intervene.
Terms: humanity; Holy Father (include as Holy Father); Chen Ku.
This is not only a promise to humanity, but also a covenant known to the Heavenly Dao.
Terms: humanity; Heavenly Dao (include as Heavenly Dao).
Therefore, he must intervene.
No.
In an instant, he descended among humanity.
Terms: humanity.
Chen Ku waved his hand.
Terms: Chen Ku.
In an instant, the previously fused twenty-fourth-grade Chaos Azure Lotus was immediately offered up, suspended above humanity's heads.
Terms: twenty-fourth-grade Chaos Azure Lotus (include as twenty-fourth-grade Chaos Azure Lotus); humanity.
Holy and auspicious immortal light descended, enveloping every human being.
Terms: humanity.
Even the true solar fire could not break through this defense.
Terms: true solar fire (generic, exclude).
Even under the radiance of the Chaos Azure Lotus, the previously violently blazing true solar fire that had scorched the high heavens was also obliterated across vast expanses, making it difficult to display its might.
Terms: Chaos Azure Lotus (include as Chaos Azure Lotus); High Heaven (include as High Heaven); true solar fire (generic, exclude).
Be aware, this twenty‑four‑grade Chaotic Azure Lotus is a supreme innate treasure.
Terms: Twenty‑four‑grade Chaotic Azure Lotus.
Its power is naturally terrifying beyond compare.
No.
Not to mention that the ten great golden crows have not yet grown.
Terms: Ten Great Golden Crows.
Even the primordial solar true fire summoned by Di Jun, Taiyi and others, the Chaotic Azure Lotus is utterly immune to it.
Terms: Di Jun, Taiyi, solar true fire (maybe exclude), Chaotic Azure Lotus.
This sudden sight filled the human race with ecstatic joy.
Terms: Human Race.
"Heavens, a mighty expert has intervened to shield our people."
Terms: Human Race.
"It must be the work of the Holy Mother and Holy Father."
Terms: Holy Mother, Holy Father.
"We humans kowtow in gratitude to the Holy Mother and Holy Father's grace."
Terms: Human Race, Holy Mother, Holy Father.
Having survived the disaster, the human race, hearts still pounding, fell to their knees and roared.
Terms: Human Race.
Chen Ku appeared above the High Heaven, but neither humans nor all beings perceived his true body.
Terms: Chen Ku, High Heaven, Human Race, All Beings.
Thus, the human race naturally thought it had to be Nüwa and Chen Ku working together to achieve this.
Terms: Human Race, Nüwa, Chen Ku.
In their speech, they also thanked the two for their grace.
No.
Regarding this, Chen Ku also did not care.
Terms: Chen Ku.
By summoning the Chaotic Azure Lotus, he has already protected humanity and all beings from harm.
Terms: Chaotic Azure Lotus, Human Race.
Immediately, Chen Ku turned his gaze and looked toward the ten golden crows above the High Heaven.
Terms: Chen Ku, High Heaven, Ten Golden Crows.
In an instant, Chen Ku's eyes flashed sharply, a fierce light burst forth, and brilliant radiance shone.
Terms: Chen Ku.
"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, seal!"
Terms: Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.
With a turn of his hand, he released a palm strike.
No.
The Buddha kingdom in the palm reappears.
Now, the power of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm can no longer be compared to what it once was.
Though it has manifested, it is already indistinguishable from the real world.
In the darkness, vast as an abyss, a mighty and unmatched power descends.
In a single breath, the Ten Golden Crows were instantly suppressed in Chen Ku's palm, unable to move the slightest.
No matter how the Ten Golden Crows struggle with all their strength, even activating the Sun's true fire, it has no effect.
But to all beings, this scene seems strange.
They sensed no aura from the Buddha Kingdom in his palm.
Under the gaze of all beings, the Ten Golden Crows simply froze for a moment and then stayed in place.
Afterward, their forms continually burst into turmoil.
"Damn it, what a bunch of ignorant beasts who don't know the height of heaven and depth of earth."
"How dare they provoke all beings in the world like this?!"
Kuafu roared angrily.
In his view, the Ten Golden Crows are nothing but naked provocation.
In an instant, he was consumed by extreme rage.
But as soon as his words fell, Kuafu's expression changed and his eyes lit up.
Nothing else!
At some point, another Grand Shaman appeared on the land ahead.
Houyi!
Kuafu and Houyi, both Grand Shamans of the Wu Clan, are naturally very close.
Moreover, Kuafu knows well that Houyi holds a supreme divine bow, its power terrifying.
Without hesitation, Kuafu immediately shouted from afar:
"Brother Houyi, act quickly, help me suppress and slay this violent Ten Golden Crows."
On the other side, hearing Kuafu's words and seeing his hurried, uncontrollably angry expression, Houyi's expression also changed.
"Brother Kuafu?!"
"What... what is going on?!"
Before this, Houyi was wandering the world and knew nothing of Kuafu's pursuit to kill the Ten Golden Crows.
Even Houyi never imagined that those Ten Golden Crows were actually the ten sons of Emperor Jun.
After all, the world has myriad Dao and laws; some top experts cultivating divine abilities and great techniques can also produce such a spectacle of divine light filling the sky and flames steaming.
Hearing this, Kuafu spoke urgently:
"Hmph, the Ten Golden Crows of the Demon Race, upon birth, burn to ashes all things in heaven and earth."
"Countless beings have already suffered calamity, burned to nothing by them."
"Our Wu Clan also has many territories that have suffered calamity."
"These Ten Golden Crows truly deserve to die!"
Not bad!
The reason Kuafu pursues so violently, with a posture of never dying nor resting.
It is not merely due to the hostile stance between the Wu and Demon clans.
More importantly, the Ten Golden Crows' previous actions have already affected the Wu Clan's territories.
Upon these words, Houyi also instantly flew into a great rage.
"What?!"
"The ten sons of Emperor Jun, how dare they act so fiercely?!"
Houyi gritted his teeth.
He, without hesitation, before his words even finished, already waved his hand, and a bow entirely crimson red—a divine bow—appeared in his hand.
Boom—rumble—rumble!
Houyi pulled the bow with all his strength, actually causing the void to erupt with a clap of thunder.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The violent sound of breaking through the air resounded.
In the blink of an eye, Houyi loosed ten arrows in succession, tearing through space and shooting explosively toward the Ten Golden Crows.
Each arrow was so fast it reached the extreme, leaving only afterimages, impossible to grasp.
At this moment, between heaven and earth, all beings could not help but exclaim.
You should know, the power of a Wu Clan Grand Shaman is already equivalent to that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
While the Ten Golden Crows are merely of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation.
In anyone's view, under ten arrows, the Ten Golden Crows are surely doomed to die.
But just as all beings thought the Ten Golden Crows were about to spill blood across the high heavens and perish, body and Dao extinguished...
In the arena, a sudden change occurred.
Clang!
Clang!
Sounds of metal and gold clashing rang out.
Each arrow actually struck upon a layer of faint golden light, after which its force vanished completely, dissipating into the void.
That was nothing else; it was precisely the barrier of the Palm Buddha Kingdom, which blocked a full ten arrows.
Seeing this, all beings looked at each other, bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
Afterwards, Houyi's expression shifted, and he instantly realized what was going on.
"I don't know which strong expert made a move?"
"Please show yourself!"
Houyi looked around the high heavens and loudly said:
He clearly sensed that his ten arrows were blocked by the might of a certain great divine ability.
Thus Houyi also immediately realized that there must be other strong experts lurking in the dark.
Moreover, to silently block his arrows, the opponent must be a great powerhouse of the highest caliber.
Houyi's words were quite courteous.
"I am Chen Ku!"
By now, Chen Ku's attempt to conceal his form and aura is also useless.
Thus he openly appeared, smiling lightly as he spoke.
Upon hearing the two words "Chen Ku", Houyi and Kua Fu both changed expression.
They immediately reacted and hurriedly bowed.
"So it's the senior Chen Ku from the West."
"We have paid respects to the senior."
The two spoke thus.
They and Chen Ku previously had no interaction.
But they also knew that Chen Ku, by his own strength, had consecutively defeated the Twelve Ancestor Witches.
Such an arrogant record can be called shocking to the world.
In the Wu Clan on a daily basis, the Twelve Ancestor Witches also greatly admired Chen Ku, marveling endlessly.
The Wu Clan lineage has always revered the strong.
Therefore, facing Chen Ku, Houyi and Kua Fu naturally dare not be disrespectful.
Facing their bow, Chen Ku gave a light smile.
"Hehe, you two need not be so polite."
He responded in such a light and carefree manner.
Immediately after, Houyi asked full of doubt:
"Since Senior Chen Ku is here."
"Why did you intervene to save those ten golden crows?"
Houyi naturally dare not accuse Chen Ku; he's just full of doubt.
Initially, the West also once waged a great war against the Demon Race.
Chen Ku's act, is it not protecting his own enemy?
Who would have thought, upon hearing Houyi's words.
Chen Ku couldn't help but shake his head.
"Ah, what I saved is not these ten golden crows."
"But you!"
This sentence left Houyi and Kua Fu even more bewildered.
But after his words fell, Chen Ku already gazed deeply toward a certain direction.
