Chapter 258: The First Chaos Demon God Assembly

"Tianji Daofriend, I humbly request an audience!"

At the origin of the Tianji Great Dao, the Order Demon God arrived with the Three Pure Ones.

Looking around, all was boundless emptiness—a complete void of Daoic domain; without precise Dao markers, one could hardly locate the Tianji Demon God's trace.

"What brings you here, Daofriend?"

A thunderous rumble echoed; chaotic currents churned, and suddenly, an ancient altar shimmering with radiant light appeared before them.

The altar stretched billions of zhang wide, octagonal in shape, composed of infinite rules; indescribable Dao and principles wove through the void, dazzling the world—each strand of light naturally evolved into true Dao characters, each symbol radiating an unfathomably profound aura.

At the altar's center stood a majestic demon god figure, standing firm and imposing, surrounded by a solemn and sacred aura.

The moment the Three Pure Ones saw the Tianji Demon God, a flicker of surprise passed through their eyes.

This surprise was not due to fear of the Chaos Demon God's power, but because of the Tianji Demon God's aesthetic.

The Tianji Demon God atop the altar bore a somewhat humanoid form, yet was clearly not a conventional flesh-and-blood body, but entirely constructed of metallic armor.

Its head was a divine mask, its eyes like inlaid twin brilliant Chaos gemstones, emitting deep, luminous light—as if capable of perceiving all mysteries of the world.

Even more bizarre were the pair of feather-like antennae extending from its head, resembling antennas.

Its entire body flowed with smooth lines, muscular contours radiating boundless power, as if ready to unleash cataclysmic destruction at any moment.

On its chest rested a primordial Bagua, its pattern outlined in golden threads, inlaid onto every armor plate, harmonizing perfectly with the metallic texture, enhancing its divine aura.

Within the Bagua, the Yin and Yang fish intertwined endlessly, perpetually flowing—the boundless mystery of ceaseless generation, the infinite transformations of the Three Thousand Daos.

【Who can tell me what's going on? This isn't Tianji Demon God—this is Tianji Armor!】Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's lip twitched.

Taishang, after viewing Tianji Demon God's appearance, also fell silent: 【This unorthodox style—could it be a deity from our Attack Hong Huang's reverse timeline?】

He thought his own demon god body was already bizarre—one formed from a divine artifact, one from a pill, one from a formation spirit awakened.

He hadn't expected even greater oddities in the Chaos.

Is this even right?

Master Master Yuchen gazed at Tianji Demon God with appreciation, nodding slightly: 【Your exterior is quite impressive!】

The Order Demon God showed no surprise at Tianji Demon God's armored form.

Every Chaos Demon God arises from the Dao; their forms are naturally unique.

If divine artifact forms and Golden Core forms are permitted, why not armored forms?

Who says Tianji Demon God must represent only the mysteries of heaven and earth, the supreme truths?

Why can't it represent divine armor?

"Tianji Daofriend, I have a matter to discuss with you." The Order Demon God greeted Tianji Demon God warmly.

BOOM!

Tianji Demon God descended from the altar, metallic joints rotating with the resonant clang of bronze bells—like the rhythm of the Dao, grand yet elegant.

It floated through the air to meet Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing and the others.

"Daofriend, long time no see?"

The Order Demon God blinked, then laughed: "All is well, all is well!"

"Thanks to your warning last time, I've managed to keep my distance from the Disease Demon God."

"When I came here, He even fought the 【Sui Demon God】—I wonder how that battle turned out."

Tianji Demon God smiled: "Sui Demon God won by a narrow margin."

Its tone was calm, confident—as if it had witnessed the battle firsthand.

"I see. I didn't realize Sui Demon God's contagion was so potent. Next time, I'll keep my distance." The Order Demon God sighed deeply.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you." The Order Demon God presented the Three Pure Ones to Tianji Demon God.

"Righteousness, Right Path, Righteousness?" Tianji Demon God studied the Three Pure Ones; thirty-six chaotic frequency rings unfolded behind its head.

"Daofriend, what is this?"

The Order Demon God looked at Tianji Demon God with mild surprise.

"Apologies for the rudeness."

Tianji Demon God, as if troubled, tapped its own head, emitting metallic "clangs," and the thirty-six rings instantly retracted.

"Lately, some cultivation mishaps have caused occasional malfunctions in my body parts." As it spoke, the curved chest armor suddenly popped off with a THUD.

Tianji Demon God quickly caught it and pressed it back into place.

Ding ding dang dang~~~

In the span of those few words, various components flew off Tianji Demon God's body.

"Daofriend, are you alright?" The Order Demon God looked concerned—this malfunction rate was too high; could they help?

"All fine, all fine!" Tianji Demon God calmly and elegantly reassembled its scattered parts, showing no sign of panic.

"Let's get to the point—what do you need? It seems Order Daofriend requires my assistance?"

"Precisely."

The Order Demon God replied honestly: "We aim to establish perfect order within the Chaos, but our strength is insufficient—we lack Daofriends. Your Tianji Dao can help us locate more Daofriends, so we wish to invite you to join us."

"Establish order, cultivate Daofriends?"

Tianji Demon God pondered briefly, then agreed readily: "Fine. After deep consideration, I accept." But its nod was too forceful—its neck snapped, and its massive metallic head tumbled off.

The Three Pure Ones: "..."

Order: "..."

"Minor glitch—just a minor glitch!" Tianji Demon God caught its head and calmly reattached it.

"Do you need help?"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing asked earnestly: "I, Zhengqi, specialize in artifact forging. Your form is essentially an artifact—I might be able to reforging it and repair your malfunctions."

"I can help too."

Taishang said: "Just consume one of my Tianji Xuan Pills—I guarantee you'll be restored to perfect condition."

Master Master Yuchen looked at Tianji and said seriously: "If you permit me to engrave a formation array upon you, there's a high probability I can resolve your issues."

Upon hearing this, Tianji Demon God instinctively stepped back two paces.

"Thank you, esteemed Daofriends, but I feel my malfunctions have improved greatly!"

"What a pity," sighed the Three Pure Ones.

Tianji Demon God wiped nonexistent sweat from its forehead: "Let's discuss how to proceed with this plan."

"Which demon gods should we start with?"

"Balance!" x4

"Just one?" Tianji Demon God asked.

The Order Demon God: "What do you mean?"

Tianji Demon God said: "I can calculate the locations of many demon gods—we don't need to search one by one. Why not send invitations first, and gather them together?"

"Those who come, we cultivate as Daofriends; those who don't—no matter. Later, we'll bring our Daofriends to each one and reason with them."

"Appeal to their emotions, move them with reason!"

Tianji Demon God's suggestion was highly efficient; Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing and the others had no reason to refuse.

Thus, they swiftly compiled a candidate list of demon gods and drafted a "Peaceful Initiative for Establishing a Beautiful Order and Hosting the First Chaos Demon God Assembly," which Tianji Demon God sent out.

Thousands of demon gods were simultaneously stirred.

"Tianji Demon God? A Peaceful Initiative?"

When the Balance Demon God received the message, it paused, then smiled: "Ah, Order Daofriend—well, I might as well go take a look."

The origin of the Righteousness Dao.

A demon god awoke: "Righteousness, Right Path, Righteousness? Interesting! I, the Justice Demon God, must join this spectacle!"

The origin of Creation.

"Creation, stop lying around—let's go check it out!" Haoran Demon God and Piaomiao Demon God found this place.

"The Initiative says there'll be a Demon God Assembly—surely many demon gods will attend; we might even meet new Daofriends!"

Creation Demon God, still half-asleep, dragged itself up from its origin, the Creation Jade Disc resting on its head: "I really don't want to go—I'd rather sleep."

"But since you came to me, I'll go take a look."

At the origin of Fate, a towering Dao tree grew in the void, its flowers shaped like lotuses, its fruits like pearl stamens, each bearing the characters "Huang Zhong."

Fate Demon God sat beneath this Dao tree, studying a stone tablet, murmuring: "This assembly is a good thing—but why do I sense an ominous outcome?"

"Should I go take a look?"

Fate Demon God hesitated—entering the Fate vortex would reveal everything more clearly.

But it feared that the clearer the vision, the harder the final outcome would be to bear.

"Enough. I'll go take a look." In the end, Fate Demon God chose to set out.

Before leaving, it transformed the stone tablet into a jade tablet, tied with a strand of hair, and hung it behind the Dao tree.

Besides them, Life Demon God, Time Demon God, Cause-and-Effect Demon God, Five Elements Demon God... one by one, Chaos demon gods leaning toward order set out.

"Establish order in the Chaos? Did it get bitten by the Great Disease and catch a stupid fever?" Destruction Demon God sneered—Chaos is inherently unordered; trying to impose order is madness.

"But we can still go and watch!"

Destruction Demon God chuckled: "Such a grand event—skipping it would be a waste!"

"You want to ruin their assembly?" Destruction Demon God grinned coldly—Destruction and Order are naturally opposed.

Destruction seeks to destroy, Destruction seeks to annihilate—isn't that in harmony with the Dao?

"They certainly didn't just invite us. We won't be enough—we need to bring more Daofriends."

Destruction Demon God nodded: "Then invite Evil, Sui, Sin, Malice, Disease, Curse, Poison, Darkness, Greed... and all of them. Let's smash their Dao domains!"

"This must be fascinating!"
