Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 349 Old Friend Turns into a Black Hand

Upon hearing this sound, Jingwei, who was about to enter the sea, immediately changed her expression and looked towards the seashore.

She had already spotted the young Taoist in purple robes.

"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"

Jingwei's face darkened.

Yang Huai simply said.

"Throughout history, underestimating one's enemy has been the easiest way to lose one's life. If you are willing to lose your life, just pretend that I never said that!"

Even so, as he raised his hand, a beam of immortal light pierced through the sea surface, revealing layers upon layers of terrifying, dark-colored divine lightning covering the seabed.

Looking at this innate Gui Water Divine Thunder Net, Jingwei's expression changed slightly.

If she were to rashly enter such a dense network of innate Gui water divine lightning, she would likely lose half her life in a short period of time.

She immediately cupped her hands in greeting to the man in purple.

"Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"

At that moment, a cold voice came from the sea.

"You old Taoist priest, how dare you oppose my East Sea Dragon Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Huai sneered.

"How dare a mere little demon try to play tricks on me!"

With a wave of his hand, a purple aura enveloped the entire depths of the sea. A purple light pierced through the depths of the sea, illuminating a dragon-headed, human-bodied figure. The dragon aura around the figure collapsed, and in a moment it transformed into a sinister-looking monster dressed in a green robe. Although it still had dragon horns on its head, it was clearly not a proper dragon prince.

Under the radiant light, the figure was unable to move, his face filled with fear.

He felt a tremor from his very soul!

With a wave of his hand, Yang Huai pulled it out from the depths of the East China Sea.

Just as they were about to interrogate him, an endless expanse of azure energy suddenly extended from the depths of the void. The azure energy transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and swept across Yang Huai.

It contains boundless power from the roots of green wood, and what is quite peculiar is that it is righteous rather than evil. Instead, it is filled with the aura of the ancestor of all trees, vast and mighty, with immense power.

It has subtly surpassed the Great Perfection of the Root Realm!
It has already manifested a complete source universe.

The green-robed demon in the original position showed a hint of fear on its face for a moment. It opened its mouth to shout, but suddenly a wisp of green light burst out from the depths of its soul. The next moment, it turned into a dried corpse, and its aura was instantly devoured.

Jingwei, witnessing this dramatic change, couldn't help but turn pale.

Yang Huai's expression was cold and aloof. The ancestral energy of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor emanated from his body, forming a magnificent and vast vortex of power in the sky. Inside, it was as if three hundred and sixty-five stars were rotating. The immense force suddenly drew the giant blue hand into it.

He immediately attacked again, and in the blink of an eye, the huge vortex expanded, transforming into a massive silver-white hand that blotted out the sky and covered countless dimensions, and slammed down in a certain direction.

Boom! !

The void trembled, and the boundless Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled, unable to withstand the suppression of this vast divine power.

"The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor of the North Pole?"

A startled voice came from the depths of the void. The next moment, the azure energy expanded, and multiple sources of heaven and earth faintly emerged from within: the source of all trees, the source of stars, the source of celestial demons, and the source of blessings. In an instant, they transformed into a jade-green divine needle and pierced through the air.

Extremely fast.

It actually pierced through that giant silver-white palm.

"A Primordial Magic Treasure?"

Yang Huai's expression remained unchanged, and the aura behind him further increased, as if he had broken through a limit. The violent aura caused huge ripples on the level of the origin of the Great Dao of the Heavens. The majestic divine power that governs the elements of heaven and earth and the vast space-time rotated like a Tai Chi symbol, instantly causing the divine needle to deviate from its original trajectory. Just as it was about to capture it...

But it easily broke through the control of the Purple Qi that imprisoned all laws, and quickly returned to the magnificent figure with intense blue starlight deep in the void.

However, the magnificent purple light followed closely, and with the support of the violent divine power, the figure's expression changed, as if he had been plunged into the depths of a vast and ancient starry universe.

Under the purple light, time itself seemed to slow down and become imprisoned.

In an instant, they were plunged into a desperate situation.

This is the power of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor's authority.

Part of his foundation has already been revealed, with a vast, ethereal phantom of a magnificent, ancient star in emerald green faintly visible behind him. Within it stands a magnificent ancient tree, seemingly formed from the essence of all trees.

Yang Huai's eyes also looked somewhat strange.

"It's him!"

He never expected that his former friend would become the mastermind behind the scenes and a formidable enemy!
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Yang Huai gazed into the depths of the sea.

A terrifying demonic aura erupted from the seabed once more, and below, a magnificent and dazzling force suddenly burst forth. A divine blade faintly appeared, its surface reflecting the image of countless ancient divine beasts galloping endlessly and dwelling in the depths of the mountains and seas.

Dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns dance in the sky.

On the other side, countless acquired demon races can be faintly seen living in the vast land of the sea. Upon closer inspection, each kind of great demon seems to be formed from acquired ancestral energy.

The divine blade vibrated, seemingly containing the complete evolution of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Beasts. With immense power, it shattered the ancient starry sky phenomenon in one strike, locking onto the direction where Yang Huai was and slashing down towards him.

It transcends time, space, and destiny.

A realm of creation!
And it's truly a stroke of good fortune!

Yang Huai's expression hardened slightly. He also sensed a tremendous threat. Behind him, boundless purple energy soared into the sky, filling millions of miles of void. In an instant, the stars of the heavens emerged from it, transforming into a magnificent divine diagram. Within it, the starry universe formed by the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor's origin instantly materialized, interfering with reality.

The Myriad Beasts Divine Blade shattered most of the starry sky, yet it was still suppressed by the countless purple energies formed by the starry sky, and collapsed with a bang.

"So they are remnants of the demon race from back then!"

Yang Huai finally realized what was happening.

The Heavenly Demon Path of the Wildlands was created by Di Jun. As far as he knew, after Di Jun's fall, the Heavenly Demon Path was about to face the situation of the demons being without a leader. However, not long after, the path suddenly stabilized again. All the gods were guessing that other demon races must have inherited the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Path and once again reached the pinnacle.

It must be the one who made the move later.

If possible, he should try his best to keep the other party here to prevent them from hiding in the shadows and causing trouble.

The mysterious star map behind him trembled slightly, and in an instant it transformed into a divine bridge in the starry sky, manifesting its power and piercing through billions of miles of void. Wherever it passed, countless moments of time stood still, but it was pierced through by a single blade.

A dense demonic aura surged in the void, and boundless demonic energy faintly emanated from his body, seemingly carrying a majestic power capable of devouring heaven and earth.

A violent demonic aura erupted from it, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The divine blade spun once more, and wherever it passed, the starlight suddenly lost its brilliance, heading straight for Yang Huai.

The power revealed within seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth.

Yang Huai remained expressionless. The divine light of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor flowed from his body, suddenly transforming into a ancestral Qi of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, like a galaxy of billions of stars, which merged into the depths of the Starry Sky Profound Diagram. The brilliance of the Starry Sky Profound Diagram surged once more, transforming into a purple star bridge that suppressed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

But then the divine blade made a feint, suddenly swirling up the Tai Sui Star Lord and disappearing into the void.

Yang Huai frowned slightly upon seeing this scene. In the next instant, a magnificent purple aura of the human emperor appeared from afar, and intense, blazing pure sunlight seemed to appear on the horizon.

Yang Huai's heart stirred.

Suddenly, it became clear why the demon god had suddenly left. It turned out that the Human Emperor Shennong had arrived.

Shennong glanced into the depths of the void, a hint of anger flickering in his eyes.

He was just presiding over a tribal war, eliminating a powerful force of gods.

Sensing that Jingwei was in danger, they rushed over, but were still a little too late.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.

But these demons truly deserve to die, for daring to scheme against Jingwei and the princess of the Yan Emperor's clan.

His eyes held a thunderous rage.

However, the opponent was cunning; having barely sensed his divine power, he had already fled.

"Father!"

Looking at the Yan Emperor Shennong appearing in the void, Jingwei was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward.

Shennong looked at her and scolded her.

"Your mother has repeatedly warned you not to leave the Human Emperor's Palace lightly, why did you disobey? Do you know that if it weren't for His Majesty Ziwei's intervention, you would surely be dead today, and the human race and the East Sea Dragon Clan would have fought a great battle, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!"

As he finished speaking, a hint of sternness appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Jingwei lowered her head and said...

"Father, your daughter knows she was wrong!"

Yang Huai appeared in front of the shallows in a flash.

Shennong bowed slightly and said.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Taiwei's intervention, the conspiracy of the Heavenly Demon Palace was thwarted. Shennong is deeply grateful! May I ask if I may extend my hospitality as a host and express my gratitude in a small way?"

Yang Huai stepped forward and helped him up, smiling.

"Your Majesty Shennong is an elder, and I dare not accept such courtesy. However, I am also on my way to the Yan Emperor's tribe, and since I am currently free, I may take this opportunity to deal with these demons!"

In terms of status, although Emperor Yan is a generation higher than him, he is now one of the Four Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court, and is on equal footing with the Human Emperor on Earth.

However, Emperor Yan was Yan Ju's father after all.

Having a father-son relationship with him, I dared not accept his courtesy lightly.

Emperor Yan nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei is an honored guest of the human race. Your presence will greatly enhance the splendor of the Human Emperor's Palace!"

He was also quite interested in this chief disciple under the three masters of the Xuanmen sect.

Not only him, but many divine tribes on earth were also quite curious about this chief disciple of the Jade Purity Dao Palace.

His apprenticeship was not long.

In just over a thousand years, he achieved the status of a True Heavenly Venerable, and now he is one of the Four Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court, a position of immeasurable nobility.

Now that they have even saved Jingwei, they are naturally honored guests of the Yan Emperor's clan.

Yandi Palace.

This time it was even more magnificent and grand than a thousand years ago. The surrounding area was no longer made of simple stone blocks, but was made using the techniques of artifact crafting. It was like a magnificent and exquisite jade temple, covered with many exquisite and luxurious carvings of gods and demons, full of majesty.

Yang Huai glanced at it briefly, a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection) in his heart.

A thousand years may be just a moment for gods, demons, and immortals, but for mortals, it may be the evolution of dozens of generations of beings.

Before long, many of the subordinate gods from Emperor Yan's palace came to keep him company.

Yang Huai did see many familiar faces, such as the Primordial Ancient God and the Antarctic Ancestor.

They are exactly the same as they were a thousand years ago.

After taking their seats, Yang Huai asked the first question.

"I just heard His Majesty mention the Heavenly Demon Palace. Could the Heavenly Demon Palace be related to the ancient Heavenly Court?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan nodded slightly.

"Although the Demon Court was destroyed back then, some demons still managed to break away and escape!"

"The Heavenly Demon Palace is a powerful and mysterious force formed by one of the ancient demon races. It contains many ancient demon saints and primordial star lords! They never forget to seek revenge against our human race and the gods, and they are constantly growing stronger!"

Yang Huai frowned and said.

"Isn't there a way to wipe them out?"

Emperor Yan shook his head and said.

"It's hard!"

After a slight pause, he continued, "Fellow Daoist is a friend of my human race, so I will not hide anything from you. Our human race now has many enemies, and the gods are all eyeing us covetously. My Yan Emperor clan cannot spare much time to deal with them!"

Emperor Yan's expression was solemn; he was not declining.

The demon race has always been the mortal enemy of the human race.

But right now, they really can't spare the time, as the Human Emperor Palace faces challenges from various human and divine tribes, as well as powerful divine forces.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the power of the Emperor held by the Emperor's Palace, as well as the power of the Heavenly Court.

After the previous emperor ascended to heaven, not only the Heavenly Court became the target of everyone's hatred in the world.

The Imperial Palace has also attracted much attention.

One wrong move and not only the Emperor's Palace could be overthrown.

The Heavenly Court is also at risk of collapse.

"Furthermore, as you should have noticed, those demons are no ordinary beings. If they are determined to hide in the shadows, it will be very difficult to catch them!"

"Especially the new Heavenly Demon Lord Bai Ze, whose power is overwhelming! He has caused many of our clan's strongmen to perish!"

As he spoke, his face became solemn, and a hint of annoyance appeared on his face.

Yang Huai frowned.

"Could that demon race creature just now be Bai Ze?!"

He naturally knew Bai Ze from the ancient Heavenly Court. Bai Ze was one of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Heavenly Court, and ranked among the top among them, known as the Heavenly Court's strategist.

If that's the case, then they are indeed difficult to deal with.

The Heavenly Demon Path has actually been completely perfected by the Heavenly Emperor Dijun. Bai Ze, who inherited this path, may not be able to compare with the Heavenly Emperor Dijun at his peak, but he will continue to get closer to the Heavenly Emperor Dijun and become a great threat to the human race and the Heavenly Court.

If he didn't possess the authority of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, he might not have been able to defeat his opponent.
