Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 216: Hou Tu Swims in the Sea of ​​Blood

A great war finally came to an end. It seemed that both the wizards and the liches were defeated, but in fact the wizards had won half the battle. The coronation ceremony of Di Jun to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven was turned into a farce. The majesty of the Emperor was lost overnight, and he became the most miserable Emperor of Heaven since the creation of the world, and even a laughing stock of the entire God clan!

At this moment, in the Nine Heavens Realm, in the Miro Palace, Emperor Jun sat high on the imperial throne with an extremely gloomy face. Below him, the Queen of Heaven Xihe, the Ten Great Demon Saints, and the Demon Master Kunpeng were all there. Among them, most people also looked unhappy, except for Kunpeng, who seemed to be gloating.

He was a strong man who was forcibly recruited by Emperor Jun. He was not really convinced by the demon clan and the Heavenly Court, so it was not surprising that he behaved like this.

However, even an uneasy Kunpeng did not dare to show his true emotions openly at this moment. Di Jun was not the cautious Dong Wanggong. He really would kill people! It was not worth it to offend the demon king at such a critical juncture.

Only Bai Ze did not remain silent at this moment. After obtaining the statistics from his subordinates, he took the initiative to step forward and report to Di Jun the final losses of this battle.

"Your Majesty, the losses have been calculated. Please review them."

"Among the Zhoutian Star Gods, 73 of them died in the battle. Among our clan's Dutian Demon Gods, more than 800 died, and nearly 10,000 were injured! Below Dutian, the casualties were also heavy. After this battle, the casualties of our clan's warriors may exceed 10 million. This is a blood feud that is as great as the sky!"

Bai Ze was calm and wise, but his eyes turned red as he spoke. The loss was really too great - there were no more than 360 Zhou Tian Star Gods in total, and with the blessing of the original stars, they were at least at the half-step Dao Lord realm, and could be said to be Luo Tian seeds. Yet the loss in this one battle exceeded 20%.

Not to mention the demon gods above Dutian, 800 of them died in the battle! Even though the demon clan was large and powerful, the casualties in this battle were definitely not small. Among them, there were quite a few Luotian Daojuns who were directly under Emperor Jun. There were only more than a thousand Daojuns in the entire prehistoric world, and many of them had already hidden themselves from the world. There were only a few hundred people active in the world!

In addition, tens of millions of low-level soldiers were killed, which was more than 30% of the total strength of the demon clan. After one battle, the demon clan was really seriously injured and paid an extremely heavy price!
Of course, this was the case for the demon clan fighting at home, and the witch clan was naturally not much better, with even greater losses. However, now, this comparison was completely insufficient to quell the anger in the hearts of Emperor Jun and his ministers, and would only make them feel the hatred burning more in silence.

The hatred between witches and demons has long been irreconcilable, a fight to the death!
Fortunately, now that Di Jun has calmed down, he will not lose his mind again. At this moment, he is still calm. After hearing Bai Ze's report, he just said.

"Although the Wu rebels were repelled in this battle, our clan suffered heavy losses, and the Heavenly Palace was also severely damaged. I order you to appoint those who are more outstanding than the Dutian Demon God in your clan to succeed the position of Star God, and to fill the needs of the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array as soon as possible. In addition, you must reorganize a new army as soon as possible to prepare for the Wu rebels' next attack!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bai Ze accepted the order, but then heard Di Jun say again.

"From today on, I will open up the Heavenly Court's treasure house and vigorously cultivate the seeds of my race. As long as they are gifted and have extraordinary strength, I will not hesitate to reward them with innate spiritual treasures, let alone some natural treasures. Do you understand?"

"Following His Majesty's instructions——"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the many demon gods below immediately showed a bit more excitement and joy, which barely dispelled some of the dullness and anger brought about by the previous war and slightly boosted the morale of the Heavenly Court.

...A similar scene also happened in the Witch God Temple. It was nothing more than that many witch ancestors had to work hard from then on to wipe out the demon clan as soon as possible and realize the change of the world!
In order to completely break with the demon clan and the Heavenly Court and regain his righteous status, Di Jiang specially asked Hou Tu to issue a manifesto in the name of the Earth Emperor Palace, and temporarily took over the throne of the Heavenly Emperor based on the legal principles of the Earth Emperor. The person who took over the throne was naturally Di Jiang, not Hou Tu. The former originally wanted to take over the throne of the Heavenly Emperor with the dignity of the Human Emperor, but the legal system of the Human Emperor had already been passed down by the Purple Light Queen. Di Jiang was afraid that his self-declaration would not be popular, so he had to settle for the second best and chose the Earth Emperor Palace as the legal basis.

In response to this, the serious Palace Master of the Earth Emperor Palace remained silent. Hou Tu almost became a transparent person after the battle. She only participated in the meeting of the Witch God Temple, but never expressed her opinion, as if she no longer cared about anything.

After the discussion in the Witch God Temple ended, the twelve witch ancestors left and regrouped to prepare for war. Hou Tu refused Xuan Ming's invitation to follow her and left alone. She did not return to the Hou Tu tribe, nor did she return to the palace in the Earth Realm. Instead, she headed straight for the long-unclaimed Nine Netherworld Blood Sea.

The land of the sea of ​​blood was originally ruled by Minghe. After Minghe was killed by Qi Yu, this place fell into the hands of the Demon Sect for a time. After the Demon Sect was repelled by the Black Water Palace, it fell into an ownerless situation. Houtu came here alone and was not discovered by anyone, so naturally she had a smooth journey.

Looking at the vast sea of ​​blood and the countless souls struggling in it, Hou Tu felt an inexplicable touch of her heart for some reason. Then, she decided to walk around and take a look here, hoping that she could find her own Hunyuan Holy Path.

In this way, Hou Tu began her journey of travel.

However, the journey lasted only seven days before it was temporarily terminated. It was not because of anything else, but because Hou Tu saw a person at the edge of the sea of ​​blood. That figure made her extremely alert, and she was even ready to fight him!

There was no other reason, the aura of that figure was simply too strong. Not only was it stronger than her, the Mother of the Netherworld and the Ancestral Witch of Earth, it also surpassed the current Lord of the Witch Clan, Di Jiang, and the then Emperor of Heaven, Di Jun. It was no less than Taiyi, who was still on the throne of Emperor of Heaven. That sense of oppression made Hou Tu tremble with fear!

Meeting such a completely unfamiliar existence at this special point in time, Hou Tu couldn't help but think too much. But just when her heart was tense, the other party took the initiative to speak.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so defensive. I have no ill intentions."

"Emperor Xichen?"

Hou Tu was surprised. She was too familiar with this voice and would never forget it. It was Qi Yu's voice, but there was something wrong with his appearance and aura - it was 70% similar to Qi Yu, but not exactly the same, giving her a sense of authenticity.

"I am not sinking into the west, but into the underworld."

On the opposite side, Emperor Xuanming spoke lightly, and then said.

"Empress Hou Tu wants to swim in the sea of ​​blood? It just so happens that I also have this intention. How about you and I go together?"
