Chapter 335

The four great demon sages struck, their might seizing hearts and souls!

All manner of divine powers and great techniques burst forth together, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths, sweeping across all realms and myriad worlds.

For a time, the battlefield was utterly submerged in endless divine radiance.

Clang!

Clang!

Only the piercing sounds of metal on metal rang out, lightning flashing and scattering.

Instantly, the four great demon sages actually managed to block most of the might of the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

Seeing this, Maitreya's brow furrowed slightly.

But soon after, he let out a light chuckle.

"Heh heh, do you really think just four of you is enough?!"

The words trailed off, and Maitreya turned to look at the apothecary beside him.

"Junior brother, quickly deploy the Four Ferocities Chart!"

Not bad!

Don't forget, in their hands, besides the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, they also possess a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Four Ferocities Chart.

Upon hearing Maitreya's words, the apothecary immediately nodded.

Without hesitation, he swept his hand and directly unleashed the Four Ferocities Chart.

Behold, in the high heavens, blazing immortal light exploded forth.

The Four Ferocities Chart slowly unfurled.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the denizens of the demon court all changed color, their scalps nearly bursting.

Malice!

An ineffable, towering malice surged forth violently from the Four Ferocities Chart, spreading throughout the vast demon court.

The feeling was as if an ancient primordial terror had descended.

Ordinary demons trembled violently, terrified out of their wits!

Even those of Golden Immortal, Great Luo level felt their hearts shake violently, an indescribable chill gripping them.

"Hehe......"

"Shangyang, Yingzhao, you lot come first and try the power of my Four Ferocities Chart."

The apothecary wore a smile full of scheming intent.

Watching Maitreya wield the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler and violently beat the Nine Infants, he had long been itching to act, eager to try.

As the words fell, an even more terrifying scene followed.

Behold, four colossal, peerless figures suddenly manifested from within the Four Ferocities Chart.

Taotie!

Chaos!

Qiongqi!

Chaos!

They were precisely the ancient four great ferocious beasts once subdued.

And each ferocious beast displayed an ineffable aura of brutality and ferocity.

In their eyes, bloody light surged to the heavens, killing intent plainly evident.

Wave after wave of roars and bellows shook even the thirty-three heavens outside, the void seeming on the verge of rupture.

With a thought, the apothecary sent the four great ferocious beasts flashing like lightning, immediately charging toward Shangyang and the four great demon sages.

Seeing this, the four great demon sages' faces changed drastically.

How could they still bother with the Nine Infants?!

Having no time to think, the four immediately turned and clashed head-on with the might of the four great ferocious beasts.

Chaos!

In the demon court, at this moment there was only a scene of utter chaos.

Tribulation light surged vast and mighty, spreading across hundreds of thousands of miles.

The roars of the ferocious beasts and the great shouts of the demon sages echoed across the heavens.

All beings of the demon court watched, dumbstruck.

Numb!

Completely numb!

Do you know how mighty the demon court is?

Yet today, merely Maitreya and the apothecary, just two of them, have stirred boundless winds and clouds, throwing the demon court into such great chaos.

Truly shocking to the world and contrary to convention.

More importantly, although Maitreya's cultivation is not as high as the Nine Infants', relying on the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, he has pressed the latter so hard that he can offer no resistance, only miserable cries.

Nor need it be said of the apothecary.

Though merely a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo level, at this moment controlling the four great ferocious beasts, he can actually suppress the might of the four great demon sages.

Di Jun Taiyi's brow tightened.

"Damn it......"

"That Four Ferocities Chart is also strangely peculiar, unfathomable."

"If Shangyang and the others cannot win, what are we to do?!"

Di Jun couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice.

The four ancient ferocious beasts were originally terrifying existences that transcended the current era.

They knew not what fear was; their entire bodies were filled only with a violent feeling of wanting to tear apart the four great demon sages.

Therefore, in Di Jun's view, the situation of the four great demon sages was not optimistic.

Indeed!

The battle grew increasingly fierce.

The four ancient ferocious beasts also stirred up boundless Chaos storms.

One after another, laws shattered with booming sounds, and order collapsed accordingly.

Chaotic qi surged, shattering countless great stars.

Heaven-covering and earth-covering runes glowed, and they also possessed the power to annihilate everything.

Even though the four great demon sages displayed various divine powers and great techniques, they were like mud cows entering the sea, unable to stir up any significant waves.

Finally!

At a certain moment!

Only a muffled "bang" was heard.

Among the four great demon sages, Shang Yang and Chaos collided with a booming impact.

Immediately afterward, Shang Yang's body shook violently, flying off like a broken kite, spitting blood in large mouthfuls, in a sorry state.

Instantly, the offensive of the four great demon sages also collapsed and disintegrated.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Another three muffled heavenly sounds exploded.

The remaining three great demon sages could no longer withstand the might of the ancient ferocious beasts, and they all retreated violently, their bodies covered in blood.

They retreated a full million li before the four great demon sages barely managed to stop their figures.

However, at this moment, the four of them had pale complexions, feeble breath, and their eyes still held undisispersed panic.

"Damn......"

"What exactly is this treasure, that it can contain the true ancient four ferocious beasts?"

"Could this be Chen Ku's current method?"

"Is it just one of his spiritual treasures that we cannot withstand?!"

The four great demon sages whispered privately; though their voices were low, they could not conceal their anger and shock.

They naturally could not have imagined that these four ancient ferocious beasts were subdued by Chen Ku amidst the killing qi storms in the west.

It can be said that if it weren't for the overwhelming calamity qi in the west back then, he might not have obtained such an "opportunity."

And as the words fell, the four great demon sages also revealed a hint of desolation in their eyes.

How to compare?!

Chen Ku himself is immensely powerful, the first in ancient times to prove the Dao as a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, so that is acceptable.

But now, his true self has not arrived; merely lending a Four Ferocious Diagram to the Medicine Master has already driven the four great demon sages to vomit blood.

Infuriating!

Simply too infuriating!

And it's not only the four great demon sages who feel this way.

Seeing this scene, Taiyi on the other side also became completely enraged.

"Scoundrel!"

"We spoke kindly to negotiate, yet you are so utterly ignorant of heaven's height and earth's depth."

"If so, then today you shall not even think of leaving the Demon Court."

Taiyi's hair stood on end with rage, his eyes spitting fire.

Know that the ten great demon sages, each one, can be called top-tier combat power in the Demon Court.

These are precisely the pillars that will later be used to resist the Wu Clan.

And today, the Medicine Master merely casually offered up a Four Ferocious Diagram, and already inflicted heavy injuries on four of them.

For the Demon Court, this is a great humiliation!

How could Taiyi endure this?!

Before the words even fell, five-colored radiance burst forth explosively above his head.

Hum......

The deep, heavy bell toll also echoed throughout the high heavens.

The Chaos Bell manifested!

In an instant, the bell's sound surged, the universe shone brightly, heaven and earth lost color, and Qiankun trembled.

Needless to say, the Chaos Bell tore through the void, carrying the momentum to suppress heaven and earth, and immediately descended upon Maitreya and the Medicine Master.

This strike contained Taiyi's endless anger.

He showed no mercy, vowing to utterly annihilate these two Buddhist figures with this.

This move caused countless demon race beings' hearts and spirits to surge, their blood boiling.

The demon race's war god should be like this!

Indeed, Maitreya and the Medicine Master previously "relying on human power" also caused all demon race beings to accumulate endless anger.

They also wished to see Maitreya and the Medicine Master die on the spot.

However, upon seeing the scene clearly, Di Jun's pupils suddenly contracted and his face changed dramatically.

"Second brother, no!"

Without regard for anything else, Di Jun let out a startled cry.

At the same time, he swept his wide sleeve and directly shot out a golden crow rainbow light, rushing toward the Chaos Bell.

Boom!

The golden crow rainbow light struck the Chaos Bell, instantly causing it to pause.

Then the five-colored radiance dimmed and fell back onto Taiyi's head.

This sudden change left everyone present stunned.

Taiyi looked at Di Jun in disbelief.

"Brother?!"

"How can we allow these two to run amok in our demon court?!"

Taiyi spoke thus, with a questioning tone.

There's no need to say more—if it weren't for Di Jun's intervention, Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru would surely already be dead on the spot, body and spirit destroyed.

In other words, even now, Di Jun is still protecting these two Buddhist figures?!

How can Taiyi possibly accept this?!

Hearing his words, Di Jun's face sank, yet he still patiently said:

"Taiyi, the identities of these two Maitreya figures are extraordinary."

"If they were to die in the demon court, it would be a disrespect to the sages on our part."

"Therefore, they cannot die; otherwise, this matter will only grow worse, eventually provoking the sages to intervene personally."

Although Di Jun was also angered by Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru.

But as the demon emperor, ruling over hundreds of millions of demons and stationed beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, he still had to consider the safety of the entire demon race.

Once a sage's disciple dies and their Dao vanishes, that is truly an earth-shattering act beyond dispute.

Such consequences are too severe; Di Jun knows he cannot bear them!

Therefore, he can only endure in silence.

Upon hearing Di Jun's explanation, Taiyi's face sank like water.

He also knew that he had previously been overcome by anger, getting carried away.

Di Jun's consideration was correct.

However... seeing Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru's smug and elated expressions, Taiyi became even more furious.

"What should we do?!"

"Are we just going to watch helplessly as they take away the Nine Infant?!"

After a long silence, Taiyi spoke thus.

Upon saying this.

Not to mention Di Jun's reaction.

On the other side, Shangyang, Yingzhao, and even Bai Ze, among other demon sages, also immediately objected.

"No!"

"Your Majesties, Chen Ku acts without limits, vile and shameless."

"If we hand over the Daoist Nine Infant to the Buddhist sect, how could he possibly return alive?!"

"Indeed, regardless of why the Daoist Nine Infant did this, refining the Slaughter Witch Sword is indeed a great benefit to our demon race."

"If today we allow Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru to take him away, would it not chill the heart of the Daoist Nine Infant?!"

"We plead: we absolutely cannot hand over the Daoist Nine Infant to the Buddhist sect."

Without omission, the demon sages spoke up one after another, all saying this.

They were not merely speaking out for the Nine Infant.

More importantly, it was a matter of extending concern from others to oneself, considering their own interests.

Think of the Nine Infant, as a demon sage, he has also made considerable contributions to the demon race.

Today, if Di Jun and Taiyi truly hand him over to the Buddhist sect, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to abandoning the Nine Infant.

When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves!

If so, in the future, if similar incidents occur again, would it not mean that Di Jun and Taiyi can also abandon other demon sages?!

Therefore, regardless of how violent and forceful Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru's previous methods were.

But the Nine Infant will absolutely not allow himself to be taken by them.

This can be said to be the bottom line of the demon sages.

Upon hearing everyone's words, Di Jun fell into thought.

How could he not know everyone's worries and concerns?!

Today's matter, if not handled well, I fear the hearts of all demon sages will scatter.

If so, how can the demon race still resist the Wu Clan?!

But on the other side, Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru's attitude remains firm, unyielding.

Troublesome!

Really too troublesome!

After long contemplation, Di Jun's face twitched slightly, as if he had finally made some decision.

He stepped forward, staring directly at Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru.

"Alright, stop!"

A loud shout rang out, and Maitreya and the other were stunned for a moment, then they temporarily eased their offensive, looking at Di Jun with surprise and uncertainty.

"Hehe... The Demon Emperor has finally decided to hand over the Nine-Headed Infant to us, has he?!"

Maitreya said this with a smiling, squinting expression.

Who would have thought, upon hearing these words, Di Jun's expression turned solemn, neither agreeing nor denying.

He spoke with a blank expression:

"Since you of the Buddhist sect insist on taking away the Nine-Headed Infant Holy Demon.

Then today... this Emperor will also go along.

Whatever matters there are, let the Buddhist sages and this Emperor make it clear."

Hu...

Di Jun's words immediately caused an uproar within the Demon Court.

The Demon Emperor himself going to face the Nine-Headed Infant and the Buddhist sages together?!

Is this... is this to take the blame for our own Holy Demon?!

Such a decision was completely unexpected by all of the Demon Race, and even by the myriad Holy Demons.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the beings of the Demon Race instantly changed expression, filled with moved emotions.

"Hiss... The Demon Emperor's Majesty's righteousness, actually daring to risk himself for the Nine-Headed Infant Holy Demon!"

"Demon Emperor's Majesty, this is the Demon Emperor we should respect and revere!"

"How wonderful, the Demon Emperor's Majesty not only did not abandon the Nine-Headed Infant Holy Demon, but even acted with such righteous resolve!"

"With the Majesty like this, we shall swear to die in loyalty hereafter."

Words of this sort were transmitted.

The mighty Demon Emperor, for a mere subordinate, does not hesitate to directly face a sage.

Moreover, it is to face four existences of sage-level.

It can be said that Di Jun's move this time directly caused countless Demon Race members to die heart and soul, willingly swearing eternal loyalty to the Demon Court.

Hearing the words of the Demon Race beings, Maitreya's smile on his face deepened further.

At the same time, it also carried a sense of shrewdness that sees through everything.

"Hehe... What a fine way to win over hearts."

"Truly worthy of being the Demon Emperor who can govern hundreds of millions of the Demon Race."

Maitreya couldn't help but think this in his heart.

It must be said, Di Jun's ability to become the lord of the Demon Court and possess such prestige today is still due to some means.

And regarding Di Jun's proposal, Maitreya also had no objections.

Other things don't matter; he only needs to bring the Nine-Headed Infant back to Mount Sumeru, and that will be enough.

Moreover, even if Di Jun personally goes, what waves could he possibly stir?!

There's absolutely no need to worry, right?!

"Hehe, good... very good indeed!"

Maitreya lightly laughed and nodded, responding in this way.

However, at this moment, the Ten Great Holy Demons and others reacted.

Bai Ze and the others instantly changed expression.

The Demon Emperor's Majesty going to the Buddhist sect?!

How could this be allowed?!
