Chapter 959: The Wu Clan's Ambush

Outer Starry Sky.

Heavenly Demon Continent.

A terrifying aura suddenly surged into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds above; even the movement of the stars around the Heavenly Demon Continent was severely disturbed, as if they were about to deviate from their original orbits.

Such a phenomenon naturally alarmed all the Demon Race on the Heavenly Demon Continent.

Countless Demon Race members looked toward the Central Demon Court, only to see a Golden Crow, formed entirely from the aggregation of Sun True Fire, soar into the sky. It let out a long cry toward the heavens, and the "wu-wa" sound instantly spread across the entire continent, as if it were ringing from the depths of their Primordial Spirits.

This "wu-wa" sound was filled with majesty.

And joy.

"The Golden Crow! It is His Majesty, His Majesty has attained the Quasi-Saint realm!"

"Hahaha, good, very good! His Majesty has finally attained the Quasi-Saint realm; no one will be able to stop the rise of our Demon Race."

"What a terrifying aura, is this what a Quasi-Saint is?"

"His Majesty has attained the Quasi-Saint realm, the Demon Race should celebrate!"

……

As the core of the Demon Race, the Demon Race members who could reside on the Heavenly Demon Continent were basically the core echelon of the Demon Race. Therefore, even under the impact of the various religious traditions and the various secret instigations of the Immortals, their loyalty to the Demon Race remained firm.

It was not like the countless stars in the Outer Starry Sky, where countless races were already at odds with the Demon Race.

If not for their fear of the Demon Court, they would have long since become independent.

Under the indoctrination of the Immortals' racialist ideology, they had long since lost their sense of identification with the Demon Race.

Because of this, they were constantly at war with one another, leading to frequent interstellar wars in the Outer Starry Sky, leaving the people of the Demon Court exhausted from dealing with them and busy pacifying the various races everywhere.

……

Lu Ya attained the Quasi-Saint realm, and the Demon Race was in an uproar!

Especially the high-level members of the Demon Race; they were even more teary-eyed and trembling with excitement, because after attaining the Quasi-Saint realm, Lu Ya finally had the confidence to welcome back the Donghuang Bell.

The Donghuang Bell was, after all, the sacred treasure of the Demon Race.

With the Donghuang Bell in his possession, Lu Ya would not even fear the Good Corpse of the Sages, possessing top-tier combat power in Honghuang.

In any case, the true bodies of the Sages could not descend, so a Peak Quasi-Saint was the strongest combat power.

……

Nowadays, the Honghuang network is well-developed, and there are no secrets to any major movements.

Soon, the news of Lu Ya attaining the Quasi-Saint realm spread throughout Honghuang.

All parties looked on with side-eyes.

Lu Ya attaining the Quasi-Saint realm also meant that he would retrieve the Donghuang Bell from the center of the sun.

With the Donghuang Bell in hand, Lu Ya would become one of the strongest in Honghuang.

"Sigh, what a pity. I clearly knew the Donghuang Bell was in the depths of the Sun Star, but I just couldn't get in. Now, I can only watch helplessly as it is obtained by that brat Lu Ya."

"Hehe, it won't be that easy for him to secure the Donghuang Bell. Possessing the Donghuang Bell gives him the ability to contend against a Peak Quasi-Saint, but how many can he contend against? There are quite a few Peak Quasi-Saints in Honghuang."

"The Donghuang Bell. An Innate Supreme Treasure; even the Sages would be envious."

……

Countless gazes fell upon the Sun Star.

……

Zhaoge.

Yin Qi (Clone) had a sharp gaze; looking past the great hall at the sun above the firmament, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

He was looking forward to it.

When Lu Ya arrived at the center of the Sun Star full of anticipation, only to find that the Donghuang Bell had been taken away in advance, what kind of expression would that be?

It would be quite interesting, I imagine.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yin Qi picked up his Mobile Phone and sent a message to Changxi; it was a photo of a very gorgeous immortal flower.

The difficulty of conquering Changxi was far beyond that of Nuwa.

Yin Qi had spent a full thousand years of effort to finally break through Changxi's psychological defenses, and she had begun to show a tendency to accept him.

But there was still a long way to go before he could succeed.

………

After attaining the Quasi-Saint realm, Lu Ya did not come out of seclusion.

He still needed to consolidate his cultivation.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.

Lu Ya finally stabilized his cultivation, broke through his seclusion, and simultaneously summoned the high-level members of the Demon Race.

"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor, congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor for attaining the Quasi-Saint realm!" Bai Ze, Jimeng, and others bowed one after another, their voices impassioned and their gazes fervent.

"Hahaha, thank you for your hard work, my ministers!"

Lu Ya laughed heartily.

After attaining the Quasi-Saint realm, he finally had the confidence to be the Heavenly Emperor.

He no longer had the cautiousness he once had toward the high-level members of the Demon Race, and he had gained a bit more dominance and composure.

However, Bai Ze and the others did not feel anything was amiss; they believed that the strong should be respected, and the stronger Lu Ya was, the happier they were.

Lu Ya looked around at everyone and said heroically: "Everyone, now that I have attained the Quasi-Saint realm, I will next head to the Sun Star to retrieve our Demon Race's supreme treasure, the Donghuang Bell.

With the Donghuang Bell in hand, we will no longer need to fear the Sages or Haotian and his ilk.

Therefore, I have decided that we shall launch an army against the Heavenly Court next."

"Yes!"

Bai Ze and the others were incredibly stirred.

Please... you... add to your library... and... vote... for the book...!

The Demon Race is currently strong and well-equipped, possessing five Quasi-Saints, among whom Bai Ze and Jimeng have already reached the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, along with forty-three Great Luo Golden Immortals and over twelve thousand Golden Immortals.

Compared to their peak period, there is, of course, no comparison.

But compared to a thousand years ago, their strength has expanded several times over.

Lu Ya said: "The news of me becoming a Quasi-Saint has now spread throughout Honghuang, and all parties can likely guess that I am about to go to the Sun Star. For the sake of safety, Bai Ze, Jimeng, Tianpeng, Kunyu, and Tengshe, you shall guard my sides."

The Donghuang Bell is tied to the future of the Demon Race and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Lu Ya must ensure he can successfully enter the Sun Star while also ensuring he can keep the Donghuang Bell after coming out.

"Yes."

Bai Ze and the others had solemn expressions.

They also knew that this trip would surely involve a bitter battle.

……

Outer Starry Sky.

The periphery of the Sun Star.

Ripples appeared in the void, and then Lu Ya and the other five walked out from the nothingness.

"Go!"

Without any hesitation, they charged toward the Sun Star.

But it was still too late.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five terrifying auras of baleful energy soared into the sky, followed immediately by five attacks, one of which was an axe light that tore through the void, looking like Pangu swinging his axe, intending to split open Chaos and perform the Opening Heaven and Earth.

This axe light was as fast as lightning, carrying endless killing intent, and slashed straight down at Lu Ya's head.

Lu Ya's entire body tensed, and a look of terror flashed in his eyes.

He had only just achieved the Quasi-Saint realm.

But the owner of this axe light was Xingtian, an Ancestral Witch of the Mid-Stage, equivalent to a Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage.

Moreover, the Wu Clan has always been known for their combat power, and it was absolutely not something he could withstand.

"How dare you!"

Fortunately, Jimeng had been prepared; he rushed up, his divine spear thrusting out like Thunder, tearing through the void and striking the terrifying axe light.

Rumble!

The axe light collapsed, turning into countless tiny axe lights that filled the sky, tearing countless tiny fissures into the surrounding void.

The powerful shockwave sent Lu Ya flying.

Rumble!

The other four attacks were also blocked by Bai Ze and the others.

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh came from the void: "We knew you would come, and we have been waiting for a long time. Brothers, kill this group of beasts, and tonight's dinner will be settled."

Xingtian walked out from the nothingness, holding a shield in one hand and a great axe in the other.

This shield and great axe are named Gan and Qi respectively, both are supreme Witch treasures refined with the Wu Clan's Secret Technique, equivalent to Post-Heaven Supreme Treasures, with power comparable to a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Kill!"

Chiyou, Jiu Feng, Xiangliu, and Fengbo also laughed heartily and charged toward Lu Ya and his group to kill them.

Their fighting spirit was immense; they were born warriors.
