Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 452 Emperor Donghua Rebellion
Dongfang Shuo handed the Peony Fairy's confession to Wang Lingguan.

However, at this moment.

The peerless Peony Fairy had now passed away, her soul gone to the distant world, unable to speak a word anymore, and everything became a dead end with no evidence.

"This……"

Wang Lingguan was stunned, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he was about to take the confession letter from the Peony Fairy from Dongfang Shuo.

Emperor Donghua's eyes were already sharp, and he waved his sleeves like a gust of wind, snatching the letter of confession into his palm in an instant.

"peony……"

Emperor Donghua held the confession letter tightly in both hands, his knuckles turned white and trembled slightly due to the force.

His eyes slowly fell on the confession written in black and white on the paper. He saw that every word the Peony Fairy spoke was tearful and she did her utmost to discredit herself. She took all the responsibility on herself like a huge rock. Every word was like a sharp silver needle, piercing his heart and making him heartbroken.

In the heart of Emperor Donghua, sadness, indignation, rage, regret, ridicule and other emotions intertwined and surged like surging tides, with all kinds of mixed feelings.

A wave of grief and self-mockery suddenly surged into his heart like a violent storm, and Emperor Donghua could no longer suppress his emotions and could not help but burst into self-mockery laughter:
“Hahahahahahaha…what a joke!”

He couldn't help but ask himself, does his ambition to be a king really require sacrificing a woman who loves him deeply?

He didn't want to wait any longer.

He didn't want to stay dormant any longer.

Ten thousand years is too long, he must seize the day.

It is difficult to become an immortal, and it is even more difficult to become an emperor. Life and death are unpredictable, and the seasons are unpredictable. But the temptation of the throne is unavoidable. The only thing you can do is to fight against the Tao, and fight against the Heaven!
Today, if he wins, he will own the three realms and dominate the universe; if he loses, his soul will return to heaven and earth and turn into dust!

"What heavenly rules? Fuck the heavenly rules!"

"Peony, you are innocent!"

The voice of Emperor Donghua was like a loud bell, resounding through heaven and earth, carrying with it endless determination and deep affection, as if he wanted to vent all his grief and love.

I saw a pure yang flame like a nimble fire snake, passing by in an instant with heat and violence.

In the hands of Emperor Donghua, Fairy Peony's confession letter was instantly turned into ashes under the burning of the true flame.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.

History is written by the victors.

Guilty or not, the winner has the final say.

If Emperor Donghua won, who would dare to say that he was guilty? Who would dare to point fingers at and criticize Fairy Peony?
Emperor Donghua will clear the name of Fairy Peony!

Mind this.

The eyes of Emperor Donghua suddenly shot out like cold stars, and two cold lights containing the aura of primitive times broke through the air.

In that cold light, carrying the majesty and arrogance of the ancient Emperor of Heaven left behind by the reincarnation of the remaining soul of Dong Wanggong Chunyang, it passed directly over the figure of Wang Lingguan and locked onto the supreme throne of the Emperor of Heaven in Heaven.

He is the reincarnation of the pure yang soul of Dong Wanggong, and also carries some of Dong Wanggong's memories.

At this moment, he is no longer just Emperor Donghua, but also the bearer of the memories of the remnant soul of Dongwang Gong Chunyang.

The memories of the former Great Emperor of Heaven surged in his sea of ​​consciousness like a raging tide, so clear.

In an instant, Dong Wanggong's majesty as the great emperor of heaven who looked down upon the three realms, dominated the universe, and dared to compete with Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun for the throne disappeared.

And the invincible aura of a peerless strong man was displayed to the fullest in him.

"This……"

Under this sharp gaze that was as real as a substance, Wang Lingguan felt a tremendous pressure from the ancient times coming towards him, as if he was facing an almighty being from ancient times, and he couldn't help but take a half step back.

Emperor Donghua's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed tightly on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, which represented supreme power, and he suddenly shouted:
"Here comes the sword!"

He is the ancestor of sword immortals. He has been obsessed with swordsmanship all his life. His sword skills are so superb that he has reached the highest level.

The sword energy is as hot as the sun at noon, burning mountains and boiling seas; wherever it passes, everything turns to ashes. This is the power of the Pure Yang Sword!
He, Emperor Donghua, is the Pure Yang Sword Immortal!
He is the ancestor of the sword immortals of the four seas and the most respected sword immortals of the three realms.

There are 30 million sword immortals in the sky, and you have to bow your head when you meet him.

"Zheng!"

At the call of Emperor Donghua, only a clear sword chant was heard, like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, resounding through the sky.

The "Xiantian Pure Yang Sword" hanging high above the Taiyuan Palace flew out of its scabbard, cut through the sky like a streak of light, and instantly landed in the hands of Emperor Donghua.

In an instant, the weather near the East China Sea changed drastically, and the originally calm sea surface became turbulent with huge waves.

Countless sword energies gathered from all directions, like thousands of arrows shot at the same time, whistling towards us with the sound of breaking through the air.

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

……

The long swords of many heavenly soldiers and generals were also out of control. They were unsheathed, the sword bodies humming, following behind the Chunyang Sword like loyal subjects following their monarch, forming a magnificent and majestic river of sword energy.

Wherever the sword energy passed, space twisted, light flickered, mountains burned and seas boiled, and all things were reduced to dust.

It is exactly: "The sword energy spans thirty thousand miles, and the sword light chills the four continents."

Emperor Donghua held the Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand, and a blazing light emanated from his body, like a blazing sun in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching.

His eyes were full of determination and resolve. Today, he would break free from these constraints and carve out a bloody path for himself and for the Peony Fairy!
Let these hypocritical heavenly rules, let this hypocritical heaven tremble under the sharpness of his Pure Yang Sword!
……

Wang Lingguan saw Emperor Donghua's attitude, frowned, and shouted:
"Emperor Donghua, please don't be stubborn!"

"There are so many witnesses here, the evidence is irrefutable, why don't you plead guilty so that I can give you a lighter sentence!"

"Are we really going to fight to the bitter end and end up dead?"

"As the Emperor of Heaven, you should have performed your duties conscientiously and maintained the order of Heaven. But now you have done something that violates the Heavenly Rules. If you do not stop and turn back, how can you live up to the trust that Heaven has placed in you, and how can you live up to the earnest expectations that all the gods and Buddhas have for you!"

Emperor Donghua holds the Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand. At this moment, the sword energy is surging like a dragon emerging from the sea, tumbling wantonly between heaven and earth, stirring up the wind and clouds.

He looked at the supreme throne of the Emperor of Heaven with a sharp gaze, and said in a cold smile:

"I am guilty, but I am the emperor."

"What crime has the emperor committed?"

"The order of the world is based on the rule of the strong and is written by the strong."

"The so-called heavenly rules are nothing more than shackles used by the strong to restrain the weak and consolidate their own rule."

"If I were the emperor, the laws of heaven and earth would all be determined by me!"

"Who dares to disobey? Who dares not to obey?"

After saying this, Emperor Donghua roared angrily, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and the Pure Yang Sword pointed directly at the Yingzhou Island, the sound shook the four directions:
"Where are the Nine Elders of Yingzhou?"

“Meng Hao is here!”

Meng Hao stepped out in response, his figure as tall as a pine tree, his black armor shining with a cold light, his red cloak fluttering in the wind like a burning flame.

He held a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, the tip of which flashed with a faint cold light, and his momentum was as strong as a rainbow.

"Where is Cang?"

Cang He also appeared, his silver hair like a waterfall, his black clothes fluttering in the wind, and the sword energy around him condensed into frost, as if freezing the surrounding space.

He was full of fighting spirit, his eyes were red as blood, like a wild beast about to go rampage, ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.

"Chen Ye is here!"

Chen Ye followed closely behind, with silver hair and a blue robe, his figure was graceful, and the long sword "Chen Ye" in his hand was flashing with cold light, like a pool of autumn water, but it contained endless murderous intent.

"Lian Song is here!"

Lian Song's pair of white boots with cloud patterns tapped the ground with a sound, and his plain white brocade robe danced in the wind. He held a halberd and a spear in his hand, the spear body emitting a faint silver light, and he walked out in a heroic manner.

……

These are the Nine Elders of Yingzhou, each with his own magical powers, and they are all confidants of Emperor Donghua.

Some of them are the remnants of the former subordinates of Duke Dong.

They were once the backbone of the "Honghuang Immortal Alliance" and experienced countless battles between gods and demons. Although most of them died, there were still some strong ones who managed to escape the catastrophe and survived.

There is a saying: "A new emperor appoints new ministers, and the present dynasty does not recognize the people of the previous dynasty."

These former ministers naturally had no place to stand under the order of the new heaven, and were marginalized and neglected.

The former glory and splendor have all become a thing of the past.

However, when they heard that although Dong Wanggong had passed away, his pure yang soul was reincarnated as Emperor Donghua and reappeared in the world, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts, and they all came to him, vowing to follow Emperor Donghua and work together for the great cause again.

……

It’s just that the Nine Elders of Yingzhou have been hiding in the islands of Yingzhou all year round, so they are not well-known.

……

Some others are the best among the overseas immortals.

However, the land of heaven has long been firmly occupied by the disciples and former officials of the Three Pure Ones.

The disciples of the Three Pure Ones occupied the vast majority of important official positions and controlled the authority and resources of the Heavenly Court.

As time went by, the system of Heaven became increasingly rigid, and the distribution of power became almost solidified, like a stagnant pool of water, without any ripples.

Even if ordinary immortals have the ability to travel through heaven and earth and carry mountains and the moon, it is difficult for them to enter the Lingxiao Palace to serve as officials. They can only do trivial things in the heavenly court, such as raising horses and tending flowers.

Not to mention realizing your ambitions and showing your strengths.

In recent years, although many of the Three Islands' immortals have been fortunate enough to be included in the immortal class, most of them are just in name only and have no real power.

They were ostracized by the Three Pure Ones disciples of Heaven. Although they were within the Heavenly System, they became "marginal people in the system".

They were bullied everywhere in the Heavenly Palace and had no way to express their grievances. The resentment and helplessness in their hearts grew day by day.

To put it bluntly, the disciples and former officials of the Three Pure Ones are the "immortal nobles" who hold great power in the heavens. The ordinary immortals are the "poor people in the immortal world". Under this strict hierarchy, it is naturally difficult for the poor to climb up.

Although the Jade Emperor controls the Heavenly Court and cultivates his own confidants, it is difficult to change this situation. After all, the Three Pure Ones are the foundation of the Heavenly Court.

The conflict between the nobles and the poor in the fairy world has existed for a long time.

Emperor Donghua was keenly aware of this contradiction, and took this opportunity to recruit talented people and rally his old subordinates.

such as:

Nezha killed Ao Bing, the son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, so he saved Ao Bing...

He recruited some talents that the Jade Emperor didn't use...

Emperor Donghua lured those talented but ambitious immortals under his command one by one, and together they planned to subvert the old order and reshape the rules of heaven and earth.

Over the years, he has also attracted quite a few immortals.

……

Emperor Donghua is the leader of the male immortals today and the lord of the overseas immortals in the Three Realms. He is known as "The Great Emperor Donghua, the Immortal of the Three Islands and Ten Continents."

He is in charge of ten continents and three islands, commands all the immortals overseas, and is honored as "the first immortal in the mist and clouds."

His previous life, Dong Wanggong, was the first Lord of Heaven in the prehistoric world and the orthodox ruler of Heaven.

As the saying goes, I eat the emperor's food and be loyal to him. I will die for him with the Jade Dragon and repay his kindness on the Golden Terrace!

There are many immortals, and they have different reactions to the call from Emperor Donghua.

Some people are looking around and are skeptical, fearing that the risk is too great and that if it fails, there will be no recovery.

Some people back out at the critical moment. They are content with the status quo and do not want to be involved in this dispute anymore.

But there were also positive responders. They were infected by Emperor Donghua's ambitions and were willing to follow him and fight for wealth and honor.

……

The clouds in the sky split apart, and purple lightning flashed like dragons and snakes. Above the sky of the three islands and ten continents, thousands of golden lights suddenly bloomed, as if the galaxy was hanging upside down.

Emperor Donghua no longer concealed himself and stepped onto the clouds.

I saw the nine-tasseled imperial crown of Emperor Donghua drooping with a star-shaped pearl curtain, and the black imperial robe embroidered with the sun, moon, mountains and rivers. The robe of the Emperor of Heaven that had been prepared long ago emerged.

At this time, Emperor Donghua had already put on the imperial robe.

Three thousand pure yang energy lingered around his body, which was the sign that his "Innate Pure Yang Power" had reached its peak. The fierce pressure turned all the clouds in the sky into dust.

The "Pure Yang Sword Immortal" who controls the ten continents and three islands merely holds his sword in the air. The unsheathed Pure Yang Sword has already caused the hundreds of miles of sea of ​​clouds to surge like boiling water, and the sword intent soars into the sky.

"All the immortals from the three islands and ten continents, listen to my orders!"

When Emperor Donghua opened his mouth, the clouds in the sky made the sound of gold and jade colliding, and the sound waves made the mountain protection formation outside Penglai Fairy Island flicker:
"The Three Islands and Ten Continents are the ancestral lands of the Eastern King. When the Eastern King was in charge of the Primordial Heaven, all of your ancestors were protected by the Primordial Heaven."

"Today I have returned to the Three Realms and will continue the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Court. All my overseas monks, come quickly to prove the great way together!"

"We immortals should be free and unfettered. Why should we be restricted by the Conferred God List and become slaves to the Jade Emperor?"

"Are you willing to follow me and restore the glory of Heaven?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ten continents and three islands shook simultaneously.

The Nine Elders of Yingzhou came riding on the waves, and the Thirty-Six Immortals of Fangzhang Immortal Mountain came out of their palaces in unison. Countless old immortals who had been secluded for thousands of years broke out of seclusion, some wearing star robes and stepping on the Big Dipper, some holding golden and jade rings and hanging Hunyuan umbrellas from their waists, and some riding various strange turtles, flying fish... ancient spiritual beasts.

For a time, many overseas immortals gathered together to form a mighty army of immortals that covered the sky and the sun, and was overwhelming.

In the fairy island of Penglai, in front of Baiyun Cave.

The three stars Fu, Lu and Shou stopped playing chess and looked at each other with hesitant expressions.

Fuxing twirled his beard lightly and said in a deep voice:

"The time has not come yet. The Emperor is acting too hastily."

Luxing echoed:
"Let's wait and see, and wait for the right time."

The birthday boy nodded slightly, his eyes looking far away:
"It is destiny, and it cannot be forced by human power. Let's wait and see."

……

"This... this is really going to be a fight!"

Xiao Chen looked at the tense situation in front of him and laughed secretly in his heart.

Naturally, he was happy to see the internal strife in Heaven, and hoped that the scene would become as chaotic as possible.

However, there were many emperors in ancient times who played tricks on the princes by lighting beacons, and who lost their temper for the sake of beautiful women.

……

Wang Lingguan and General Juanlian stood aside, looking at each other, both with faces full of helplessness and astonishment.

Now that things have come to this, any talk of rules or not has long lost its meaning.

Emperor Donghua doesn't recognize the rules of Heaven at all, so what's the use of the rules of Heaven?
They originally wanted to bind Emperor Donghua within the established rules of Heaven.

But who could have thought that Emperor Donghua did not play by the rules at all, but directly overturned the table and wanted to break the so-called rules!

Wang Lingguan's face was ashen, his hair and beard were all standing up, he held the Golden Whip tightly in his hand, his eyes were wide open, and he shouted in a voice like a bell:

"Emperor Donghua! Are you planning to rebel against Heaven?"

"opposite?"

Emperor Donghua raised a cold smile, and the Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand was unsheathed three inches, with a cold light flashing on the sword:

"I just want to take back the place that belongs to me."

As he was speaking, the wind and clouds suddenly changed on the shores of the East China Sea. Four giant pure yang swords that reached the sky and pierced the earth rose from the ground and pierced the sky.

Each giant Pure Yang sword is surrounded by the light of the stars in the sky, and the light is dazzling.

This is exactly the famous "Innate Pure Yang Sword Formation" under the seat of King Dong in the ancient times.

The four swords are named "Slay the Immortal", "Slay the Witch", "Slay the Demon" and "Destroy the Monster" respectively, and each sword contains endless killing power.

Before the sword intent was fully released, it had already caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow back wildly, with howling winds and surging waves.

Wang Lingguan's face suddenly changed as he looked at the pure yang sword energy that was burning the sky and boiling the sea.

He finally understood - what the Emperor Donghua wanted was not to admit his mistakes and accept punishment, but to restore the order of the Three Realms!

……

At the top of the Nine-Layered Cloud Palace, the sky is as light as a veil, ethereal and illusory. In the fairy mist, you can vaguely see the magnificent and majestic buildings.

Behind the Tongming Hall, there is a fairy-like aura.

The Jade Emperor was leaning lazily on the gilded throne, a purple bamboo fishing rod hanging lightly in his hand, fishing by the sea of ​​clouds without causing any disturbance.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be some unusual movement in the Three Islands and Ten Continents."

Qianli Yanshen knelt on one knee, his golden armor gleaming in the dim light, reflecting the skylight, making him look even more majestic.

His voice was like a loud bell, but he lowered it deliberately for fear of disturbing the fish in the water and interrupting the Jade Emperor's enjoyment.

"Your Majesty, the Abbot's Immortal Mountain..."

The god of Shunfenger stood in front of the steps with his head lowered, his ears shining with golden light. He condensed the thunder-like sword sounds from overseas into secret words, which he sent into the ears of the Jade Emperor.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor tapped the armrest with his fingertips. The gilded dragon throne remained motionless and the fishing rod was as steady as Mount Tai.

The Jade Emperor was fishing as usual, looking calm.

Taibai Jinxing stood by, his eyes occasionally sweeping over the fishing float, waiting for changes.

"Your Majesty, the fish has taken the bait."

At this time, Taibai Jinxing noticed the fishing float shaking violently and hurriedly reported it to the Jade Emperor.

The words have not yet fallen.

The Jade Emperor waved his sleeves and lifted the fishing rod. Golden scales fluttered on the fishing rod, and in an instant, an extremely large golden carp jumped out. The fish was several feet long, and its scales sparkled with dazzling golden light, as if it were made of gold.

It is true: "A golden unicorn is not something that stays in a pond. Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon."

This golden carp is extraordinary and magical, with golden horns on its head and lively eyes. It seems to be showing signs of transforming into a dragon, and faint dragon roars can be heard coming from it.

"Your Majesty, what a big fish."

"Looking at this posture, I'm afraid it's close to the state of dragon transformation."

"If I don't catch it soon, it might run away."

Taibai Jinxing looked at the golden carp in amazement, his words full of amazement.

“It’s a big fish indeed.”

A slight smile also appeared on the Jade Emperor's usually calm face.

Without waiting for the Jade Emperor to lift the pole.

With a "plop" sound, a celestial general in golden armor jumped into the pool behind the Jade Emperor like an arrow from a bow.

He was agile and could move freely in the water. In an instant he scooped up the big carp and respectfully presented it to the Jade Emperor.

"But no matter how big the fish is, it cannot escape from your Majesty's grasp."

Taibai Jinxing took the opportunity to praise him, saying that the skill of flattery was perfect.

"Send a message to the Pixiang Palace. I want to taste the fresh sashimi tonight."

The Jade Emperor stroked his beard slightly and his smile became even more intense.
