Chapter 1456: The Ten Great Demon Marshals (Second update, requesting everything)
In the span of just a few breaths, the 365 planets formed by the convergence of stars were nearing their limit.
Among them, the Ziwei Star was the largest, followed by the Taiyang Xing and Taiyin Xing, which were located at the center, while the remaining stars guarded these three primary stars according to their respective functions.
It was not just the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array; every Stronger had also summoned their Demon Pet in advance, preparing to attack the Tiandi Pingzhang together with Wendi, Wudi, and the Four Seas Dragon King. This was also a massive force, but because the numbers were so great, the power was relatively dispersed.
"Attack!"
After the preparations were complete, Li Zhangsheng issued the order to attack.
The next moment, the 365 planets began to rotate slowly. They did not deviate from their orbits, but instead, all simultaneously fired a beam of light condensed from countless star powers.
During this process, the River Chart and Luo Book appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head, and he exerted his full strength to maintain the operation of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array. With the assistance of Ning Bizhen and Luo Yuanjun, these pillars of starlight converged along the way, finally merging into one.
In an instant, this incomparably thick pillar of starlight landed on the Tiandi Pingzhang.
The Demon Pets of Wendi, Wudi, the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and the other Strongers also launched their offensives at the same time.
For a time, countless spatial rifts permeated the area, and the entire world seemed to begin to tremble slightly.
As the target of the attack, the Tiandi Pingzhang rippled with intense fluctuations, though under the energy supply of the Heavenly Court, it could still be maintained for a short time.
In the Heavenly Court, the Human Emperor watched the ten people surrounding him, as well as the army further behind.
They were not human, but leaders of the ten tribes of the Heavenly Court, headed by three at the Demon Emperor Level, while the remaining seven were all at the Demon Emperor Level.
The so-called ten tribes of the Heavenly Court were composed of the descendants of the Ancient Ten Demon Marshals.
Among these ten leaders, they were vaguely led by a peerlessly beautiful woman.
This was the Demon Emperor Level Shangyang. She had personally experienced the Heaven and Earth Hegemony, and crucially, she was one of the Ancient Ten Demon Marshals, and also the only surviving Demon Marshal.
Shangyang was not a beast, nor did she have the characteristics of a sheep. This was a spirit bird; her true form was a single-legged green bird, giving one a feeling similar to Bifang, and she belonged to the close kin of the phoenix.
Among the Ten Great Demon Marshals, Shangyang was not the best fighter, nor was she the smartest—in this regard, she could not compare to Baize—but she was born with the ability to predict fortune and misfortune. Whenever there was wind and rain approaching or major changes, she would dance on one leg; she was also the astrologer of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Ever since the Human Emperor entered the Heavenly Court, he had searched for the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance at the first opportunity, but when he found it, he was discovered by the leaders of the ten tribes of the Heavenly Court.
Ever since the Ancient Heavenly Emperor cut off the connection between heaven and earth, the Heavenly Court had been completely isolated, and this isolation had lasted for over ten thousand years.
At first, the Heavenly Court fell into chaos, with everyone fighting for resources.
Among them, the ten tribes were the leaders.
The ten tribes attacked each other, forming alliances and breaking them, but in the end, no one could do anything to the other, because whenever one tribe became stronger, it would be suppressed by the joint efforts of the other tribes.
As time went on, the Ten Great Tribes suffered heavy losses, and eventually, after deliberation, they established a power structure similar to a council, with the leaders of the Ten Great Tribes controlling the Heavenly Court.
Once the wars subsided, the Heavenly Court finally became peaceful. After recuperating, the Ten Great Tribes gradually became strong again, possessing the splendor of the ancient times.
The only shortcoming was the lack of top-tier combat power. Due to the isolation of heaven and earth, they could not trade with each other, leading to a lack of some important materials.
That would have been fine, but due to the isolation of heaven and earth, many important resources were no longer born in the Heavenly Court, such as the random Great Dao Crystal.
Since the isolation of heaven and earth, after all these years, not a single Great Dao Crystal had been born in the Heavenly Court.
As a result, without resources to assist in breaking through to the Demon Emperor Level, the Ten Great Tribes could only rely entirely on themselves to break through. Consequently, after so many years, there were still only three at the Demon Emperor Level, and that was counting Shangyang.
Shangyang stepped out from the crowd and shouted at the Human Emperor: "Human, this is not a place you should come to!"
The reason she did not immediately attack the Human Emperor was mainly because Shangyang felt a strong sense of crisis from the person before her.
Being one of the Ancient Ten Demon Marshals, her insight was naturally extraordinary. Shangyang could feel that the threat from the Human Emperor was not as great as the Heavenly Emperor, but it was not much different from the Star Emperor. Even in the ancient times, the Human Emperor was a figure on the same level as the Star Emperor and others.
Shangyang knew very well that with the strength of the Ten Great Tribes, although they were confident in repelling the Human Emperor, it would be very difficult to keep him there, and they would certainly suffer huge losses themselves, which was why she did not act rashly.
Even though he was surrounded by the Ten Great Tribes, the Human Emperor still did not show any signs of nervousness.
Just then, a banner appeared in the Human Emperor's hand; one side of the banner was embroidered with the Great Sun, and the other side was filled with countless shrunken figures.
"Myriad Demon Banner!"
As soon as he saw the banner, Shangyang's expression changed drastically, and she thought to herself that it was bad. She never expected that the Human Emperor would actually have the Myriad Demon Banner.
Although the Myriad Demon Banner could not be considered a Heavenly Court Supreme Treasure and looked like a relatively ordinary Mid-grade Langhuan Supreme Treasure, its significance to the Heavenly Court was extremely great.
Back then, when the Heavenly Court was first established, the Heavenly Emperor forcefully subdued Kunpeng, the Ten Great Demon Marshals, and many other Strongers to form the Heavenly Court, integrating a wisp of their true spirits into the Myriad Demon Banner to control all demons.
Perhaps out of wariness toward the Ten Great Demon Marshal tribes, to avoid them becoming too powerful to control, the Heavenly Emperor used a special method when refining the Myriad Demon Banner. Therefore, the Myriad Demon Banner had a powerful restraining effect on the Ten Great Demon Marshal tribes.
As long as the Myriad Demon Banner was activated, even if their true spirits were not integrated into the Myriad Demon Banner, the descendants of the Ten Great Demon Marshals would still be greatly affected. Even if they were not controlled by the Myriad Demon Banner, their minds would be severely damaged and their combat power weakened, depending mainly on their cultivation realm.
The restraining effect of the Myriad Demon Banner was similar to Li Zhangsheng's Dragon-Slaying Platform, but because it was of a higher grade, the Myriad Demon Banner's restraining effect was even better.
"Not good!"
Shangyang's expression was panicked, and she subconsciously wanted to flee, but the Human Emperor casually threw out the Myriad Demon Banner.
The Myriad Demon Banner instantly transformed to a thousand zhang in size, a huge shadow covering the four directions, and countless black gases were released, instantly shrouding a radius of several dozen li.
At this moment, Shangyang, who wanted to flee, let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground in pain, and involuntarily revealed her true form, turning into a single-legged green bird.
A wisp of Shangyang's true spirit was still in the Myriad Demon Banner, and her life and death were completely controlled by the Myriad Demon Banner.
It was not just Shangyang; the Demon Emperor Level Jimeng was also forced to reveal his true form, and he was similarly controlled by the Myriad Demon Banner, directly losing his ability to fight.
This Demon Emperor Level Jimeng was not one of the Ten Great Demon Marshals, but he was a Stronger of the Jimeng tribe at the time, so a wisp of his true spirit was also collected by the Heavenly Emperor into the Myriad Demon Banner, and he still did not escape the control of the Myriad Demon Banner.
In this way, only the Demon Emperor Level Yingzhao still had the strength to fight, but he was also affected by the Myriad Demon Banner, and his combat power could only exert about eighty percent.
The Demon Emperor Level Yingzhao was still doing relatively well; those Demon Saint Level and Demon Emperor Level members of the Ten Great Tribes were affected even more.
Among them, the Demon Saint Level could not even exert fifty percent of their combat power, and many of them even fell into a state of Cowering.
