Upon hearing Zheng Jun's words, the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons' pupils suddenly contracted, and his enormous bear body began to exude a terrifying aura.

"Zheng Jun, you've gone too far in bullying Xiong!"

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace was furious, feeling that Zheng Jun was being completely unreasonable!
Even if they surrender, will you still fight?
If I were not here to oversee things, and if beings from beyond the realm were to invade the Yama Realm in the future, would he be expected to resist them all by himself?!

The frost across the entire ice field surged and boiled, attempting to block Zheng Jun's Dragon Abyss Blade!

Just then, a crimson flash suddenly appeared on the southern horizon, a phoenix cry pierced the clouds and split rocks, and the Great Sage of Burning Heaven rode on a raging inferno and broke through the sky!

Its wingspan reached a thousand feet, each feather burning with blazing flames, scorching and distorting the very space it passed through.

"Emperor Han, one should be lenient when possible; why take things so drastic?"

The Great Sage of Burning Heaven's voice was like thunder from the heavens, causing the icy plains of the North Sea to tremble violently.

With a flap of its wings, a rain of fire poured down, scorching countless holes in Zheng Jun's purple-gold imperial aura.

The Great Sage Burning Heaven knew very well that if the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons died, she would be next!

Of the seven Dharma Images of that time, the Great Sage Who Overturned the Sea was plotted against and killed, the True Lord Who Subdued the Dragon and the Venerable Master of Ten Thousand Laws were suppressed and killed by Zheng Jun, the Venerable Shennong had already surrendered to Zheng Jun, and the World Venerable of the Far West was hiding in the Far West Buddhist Kingdom and dared not go out. Among the heroes of the world, only she and the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons remained.

The Great Sage of Burning Heaven felt a chill in her heart. Zheng Jun's ambition was already obvious. If he dared to attack the Myriad Demon Palace today, he would flatten the Burning Heaven Valley of the Southern Demon Court tomorrow. Although she and the Palace Master of the Myriad Demon Palace had a long-standing feud, they had no choice but to join forces to fight against the enemy at this moment.

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; if I don't save him today, I'll be fighting alone tomorrow!"

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Great Sage of Burning Heaven. His wings blazed even brighter, and the 'Burning Heaven Ashes' Dharma Form erupted with full force, unleashing a sea of ​​fire that swept across thousands of miles, engulfing Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun unleashed his Dragon Abyss Blade, its three powerful manifestations as abyssal and imprisoned as they tore the clouds within a thousand miles to shreds.

Faced with the combined attack of the Great Sage Burning Heaven and the Lord of the Myriad Demon Palace, Zheng Jun not only did not retreat, but instead let out a long roar: "You've come at the perfect time! Today I will see just how much these two remaining Dharma Aspect Great Sages of the demon race are worth!"

There's no time like the present. If we can subdue the Great Sage Burning Heaven in one fell swoop today, we'll save ourselves the trouble of running around aimlessly.

Before he finished speaking, the illusory image of the nine cauldrons behind Zheng Jun suddenly focused, and the Purple Emperor Qi within the nine cauldrons burst forth, transforming into nine golden dragons that coiled around him.

Meanwhile, the bronze compass of the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma Image spun wildly, reversing all the fire rain poured down by the Great Sage of Burning Heaven!

"boom--!!!"

Crimson flames collided with deep blue frost in mid-air, exploding into a sky full of radiant light.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Lord of the Myriad Demon Palace launched a sudden attack. His Xuan Shuang Soul Dharma Avatar transformed into a thousand-foot-long ice spear, carrying the chill of frozen space as it pierced straight into Zheng Jun's back.

"Little tricks."

Without turning his head, Zheng Jun's Huangliang Dream Dharma Image suddenly turned into mist and went towards blocking the ice spear.

The instant the ice spear pierced the phantom, hundreds of purple-gold arms suddenly emerged from the bluish-gray dream mist—it was none other than the 'Ruling the World' divine power of the Lord of the World's Dharma Image!
Each arm was adorned with different hand seals, some fists, some palms, some fingers, some claws, raining down on the true body of the Demon Palace Master.

"boom!"

The polar bear howled and flew backward, crashing into seven icebergs before finally coming to a stop.

Upon seeing this, the Great Sage Burning Heaven's phoenix eyes widened, and the flames on his wings suddenly turned from red to blue.

The 'Cangming Jing' Dharma Form was activated at full power, and the Nanming Li Fire and Xuanming True Water perfectly merged between the feathers, transforming into the Yin-Yang Dao Fire that could burn the sky and boil the sea!

The sky was filled with blue flames like a celestial river pouring down, scorching black cracks into the very space it passed through.

This is the ultimate divine power of the Great Sage Burning Heaven. He once used this move to severely injure a Nascent Soul cultivator from outside the realm, and it was also the means by which he became famous!

"interesting."

Zheng Jun finally put away his contemptuous expression, and for the first time, the three Dharma forms simultaneously revealed their true forms.

The Dharma Image of 'Lord of the World' sits high in the Nine Heavens Palace, the Dharma Image of 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' embraces the sun, moon and stars, and the Dharma Image of 'Yellow Millet Dream' transforms into a mirage that blots out the sky.

The power of the three aspects intertwined on the Dragon Abyss Blade, and as the blade trembled slightly, it emitted a resounding sound like a dragon's roar!
Faced with the overwhelming Yin-Yang Dao Fire, Zheng Jun simply slashed out with his sword.

"break!"

With a sharp shout, the blade flashed like a silver river, extinguishing the blue flames along its path.

The sky full of flames was cleaved in two by this single strike!

Upon seeing this, the Great Sage of Burning Heaven's pupils suddenly contracted, and then his entire body emitted even more powerful flames. The icy sea north of the ice plains instantly boiled, and guided by the Great Sage of Burning Heaven, water and fire merged and rushed towards Zheng Jun together.

Amidst the raging energy of intertwined ice and fire, Zheng Jun's robes fluttered wildly, and the illusory image of the nine cauldrons around him flickered uncertainly.

The Xuanbing Spear of the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons and the Yin-Yang Dao Fire of the Great Sage of Burning Heaven formed a combined attack. Frost blocked Zheng Jun's retreat, while flames transformed into thousands of fire phoenixes tearing at his protective purple aura.

"Die!"

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace had a single, blood-red eye. He slammed his bear paw against the ice, and countless icicles shot out from the ground like a torrential rain.

Zheng Jun formed a mudra with his left hand, and the Yellow Millet Dream Dharma Image transformed into a flowing wall of mist, continuously blurring the incoming torrent of ice and fire.

The Dragon Abyss Blade in his right hand remained motionless, the purple-gold light accumulated on its blade solidifying into a tangible form.

"The farce must end."

Zheng Jun chuckled lightly, and with a slight upturn of his lips, the sharpness of the Dragon Abyss Blade suddenly appeared. The 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' technique reversed, pouring all the energy he had previously absorbed into the blade!
"cut!"

With a loud shout, a blade of light that traversed the heavens and earth suddenly cleaved through the chaos, and the Xuanbing Armor that the Lord of the Myriad Demon Palace had hastily conjured shattered like paper!
The blade flashed across the white bear's neck. Upon seeing this, the Great Sage Burning Heaven immediately set his wings ablaze, intending to come to its rescue.

Suddenly, the Dharma image of the 'Lord of the World' behind Zheng Jun extended a giant hand and forcefully pressed the Great Sage of Burning Heaven, who was trying to rescue him, into the depths of the icy plain!
"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Great Sage Burning Heaven was pinned deep into the icy plains by Zheng Jun, leaving him in a sorry state.

"laugh!"

The bear's head shot into the sky, and the gushing demon blood froze into crimson ice crystals in mid-air.

The headless bear staggered a few steps, and the 'Mysterious Frost Soul' Dharma form shattered like glass, turning into a sky full of icy dust.

"Damn it!"

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was furious. The next second, the surrounding frost began to reform into the shape of a white bear.

This Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was not a polar bear transformed into a spirit, but rather a monster born from the swirling snow and wind—a living being of heaven and earth!

"My men, come and protect me!"

The Lord of the Myriad Demon Palace roared to the sky, howling to the left and right.

With a roar from the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Palace, the North Sea Ice Plains instantly boiled over, and countless demons swarmed out from the ice caves, the deep sea, and the snow valleys, sweeping in like a dark tide.

A demonic aura soared into the sky, frost and a bloody wind intertwined, and the entire world seemed to fall into chaos.

"What's the use of summoning these demons who are gathering energy and possessing external strength? It's just a death throes."

Zheng Jun's eyes were cold and sinister. The Longyuan Blade in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling cold light. As the blade trembled, the power of the three Dharma Aspects was fully poured into it.

With a single step, the purple-gold imperial aura swept across the four directions like a raging torrent. Behind him, the 'Lord of the World' manifested a thousand-foot-tall imperial shadow, and with a wave of his hand, the phantom of nine cauldrons suppressed the universe, freezing all the approaching demons in mid-air!
"Destroy!"

With a cold shout, the light of the blade poured down like a silver river, sweeping across the vast icy plains.

"laugh!"

The sounds of flesh being torn apart were incessant. The thousands of demons at the forefront were instantly shredded into a bloody mist by the blade's edge, without even having a chance to scream.

The ice surface was stained scarlet, and severed limbs fell like rain.

The Great Sage Burning Heaven had already broken free from the depths of the icy plains. Upon seeing this scene, his phoenix eyes widened in anger.

Seeing his demon followers fall like grass, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace did not hesitate at all. He transformed into a wisp of pale blue frost hurricane and fled westward.

He summoned these lesser demons to their deaths, to buy himself time.

The title of "Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace of the North Sea" naturally signifies that he commands a large number of lesser demons.

The demon has been nurtured in the North Sea for a thousand years; its righteous sacrifice is about to happen today!
Seeing that the Demon Palace Master was about to flee, the Great Sage Burning Heaven was also taken aback. He cursed the old bear in his heart for being cunning, and at the same time felt extremely indignant.

I came to save you, and you just ran away?

The Great Sage of Burning Heaven's face turned frosty in an instant, and the flames on his wings suddenly stopped. Just as he was about to flap his wings and leave the battlefield, he saw Zheng Jun sneer and the Dragon Abyss Blade slash out a purple-gold blade light that spanned the heavens and the earth!
"Want to go?"

The blade flashed like a shadow, instantly traversing hundreds of miles, and precisely struck the frost hurricane that the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Palace had transformed into.

"boom!"

A deafening roar followed, the sound of ice crystals shattering and a mournful bear's howl echoing through the air. Blue blood rained down, and a bear paw covered in ice shards crashed into the North Sea.

"Zheng Jun! This is an irreconcilable feud!"

The roar of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Palace came from the far west, but his voice was noticeably weaker.

The frost-covered hurricane slowed down considerably, but it still struggled to escape towards the Buddhist kingdom.

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, and was about to give chase when the Great Sage of Burning Heaven's Southern Bright Fire descended like a curtain over the sky.

Her human form emerged from the sea of ​​fire; she was a stunningly beautiful woman in a crimson feathered robe, with azure flames dancing between her brows.

"Emperor Han, show mercy when you can, why be so ruthless?"

The Great Sage of Burning Heaven made a hand seal, and the Azure Sea Pure Dharma Image manifested a huge, semi-transparent phoenix shadow behind him: "In the world today, no one is your match. If too many Dharma Images perish, how will my Yanfu Realm defend against external threats after the Wandering Kun Group departs?"

Clearly, the Great Sage Burning Heaven was already somewhat powerless.

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace can escape, but how can she escape?
The Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons can traverse the North Sea and travel directly to the Western Buddhist Kingdom, but the Southern Demon Court, where her foundation lies, requires crossing the entire territory of the Great Han Dynasty. Within the Great Han territory, the Dharma Image of the 'Lord of the World' is overwhelmingly powerful; she cannot defeat him outside, let alone within the Great Han territory.

So what can be done?
However, even if they fled to the Buddhist kingdom in the far west, although they were birds and extremely fast, the Han emperor possessed three Dharma images, so their speed would be useless.

Therefore, the Great Sage Burning Heaven decided to have a good talk with the Han Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun looked up and saw that the Great Sage of Burning Heaven's crimson feather robe was moving without wind. The imperial robe, woven like flowing fire, covered his exquisite figure, his skin was snow-white, and a feather pendant hung from his long neck.

The blood-red phoenix pattern between its eyebrows seemed to move as if it were alive, and every strand of its hair was tinged with the golden-red glow of the Southern Ming Fire.

The human form of the Great Sage of Burning Heaven was indeed extremely beautiful. Her jade-like legs, faintly visible through the slit of her feathered robe, trod on the Burning Heaven Fire Lotus, and the golden bells on her ankles jingled with each step, truly a feast for Zheng Jun's eyes.

but……

This is no longer the era of Big Head Son and Small Head Dad.

"The Southern Demon Court should be disbanded."

Zheng Jun calmly opened his mouth, not pursuing the Wan Yao Palace Master whom he had already wounded: "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king. As far as my eyes can see, I will not allow any place not covered by the territory of the Great Han."

Although the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was not killed, the strategic objective has been achieved.

They occupied Beihai.

This is also in preparation for the 'Candle Dragon Eyes' Dharma form.

The 'Candle Dragon Eye' is a demonic form, and the place where the form was originally formed was the former master of the North Sea. Now that the North Sea has been reclaimed, the 'Candle Dragon Eye' naturally needs to be put on the agenda.

Upon hearing Zheng Jun's words, the Great Sage Burning Heaven was clearly taken aback, his exquisite face filled with helplessness: "At this moment, I agree."

After saying that, the Great Sage Burning Heaven continued, "Emperor Han, there are countless living beings in the world. Even if you want to exterminate all the demons and evil spirits in the world, it is impossible. Even if you become the Dao Lord, the living beings in the world will not be completely destroyed by wildfire. Just like when the True Dragon Dao Lord descended into the world, the human race in the world was never wiped out."

"In that case, why not let these demons go? Regardless of the Dao Lord's millions of years of existence, even with your current three forms, you have a lifespan of five or six thousand years. Why make things difficult for these little demons?"

The crimson feathers of the Great Sage of Burning Heaven fluttered in the cold wind. A wisp of Southern Bright Fire swirled around her fingertips, but her voice carried an unprecedented solemnity: "Since the Han Emperor is the ruler of all under Heaven, he should know the principle of Yin and Yang in harmony. When that 'Nine Tribulations Dao Lord' swept across the eight wastelands 30,000 years ago, he also took my demon race's predecessor as his Daoist partner, and together they ruled the mountains and rivers."

"If the Han Emperor does not reject me, I am now willing to follow the example of the sages of the past..."

"No need."

Zheng Jun interrupted him directly, and as the Longyuan Blade was sheathed, it emitted a clear and melodious sound: "I already have an empress, so there is no need for me to worry about her."

Compared to the gentle and sweet Cai Anjun, this woman in front of me doesn't seem like a good person.

Although demons have a unique charm, Zheng Ke did not want to end up like Li Zhi, raising a Wu Zetian instead.

The icy plains suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The phoenix pattern between the eyebrows of the Great Sage Burning Heaven throbbed violently, and the fire lotus beneath his feet flickered on and off.

She never expected that her suggestion to humble herself would be rejected so decisively!

You should know that the Great Zhou Divine Martial Emperor had tried to marry her several times before, but she had refused each time. The last time, he even got so angry that he started fighting with her!
Now that he has taken the initiative to submit to the Han Emperor, the Han Emperor has actually refused?

The hem of her feathered robe fluttered even without wind, revealing glimpses of her snow-white ankles.

"What does the Han Emperor intend to do?"

The Great Sage of Burning Heaven's voice carried a hint of helplessness and resentment: "Do you really want to push us too far? If this causes turmoil in the world and allows foreign beings from beyond the realm to take advantage of the situation, then the path of the Han Emperor will be hopeless!"

Zheng Jun suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Name?"

"what?"

"I ask for your real name."

Zheng Jun's gaze was like lightning, piercing through the flames surrounding her: "If you want to rule the demons for me, you should at least have a title."

The Great Sage Burning Heaven paused for a moment, then the flames around him suddenly condensed into a crimson-gold phoenix crown, and he raised his head and said, "Burning Phoenix."

"good."

A purple-gold edict flew out from Zheng Jun's sleeve, with the power of the Three Dharma Aspects imprinted on it: "From this day forward, all demons and monsters under heaven shall be under your jurisdiction, and the Demon Court shall indeed have the necessity to exist. Among the demons and monsters, those who harm humans shall have their souls extracted and their spirits refined, while those who obey the teachings shall be recorded in the demon register."

The imperial edict hung before Zhuohuang, reflecting the fiery light in her pupils. It was engraved with nine ancient seal characters: "Imperial Edict of the Han Emperor to the Lord of the Demon Court".

Zhuohuang held the imperial edict, chuckled softly, and looked at Zheng Jun with a charming gaze before saying, "Then... this concubine thanks Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Zheng Jun realized the matter was over and immediately prepared to leave.

Although the Blazing Phoenix had a unique charm, Zheng Jun still needed to condense his Dharma form, so he had no time to interact much with the Blazing Phoenix, the Great Sage of Burning Heaven.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Zhuohuang, her feathered robes fluttering, blocking the way in front of the purple aura. Beneath her crimson-gold phoenix crown, her eyes gleamed: "Your Majesty, please wait."

The Dragon Abyss Blade trembled slightly in its sheath. Zheng Jun squinted at Zhuohuang, who dared to block his departure: "My patience is limited."

"I have observed that Your Majesty's aura of imperial power is faintly shrouded in the phantom of a dragon's eye."

Zhuohuang flicked a wisp of imperial aura from her fingertip, and the flames turned pitch black upon contact: "Is Your Majesty concerned with the 'Candle Dragon Eye' dharma form?"

Having said that, Zhuohuang dispelled the raging flames around her, her feathered robes transforming into pure white silk, and the phoenix pattern between her brows gradually losing its blood color. She smiled cleverly at Zheng Jun and said, "Your Majesty should know that the 'Demon Celestial Venerable's' Dharma form requires the aura of the Son of Heaven as a catalyst, and the 'Candle Dragon Eyes'..."

Having said that, Zhuohuang traced her jade-like fingers across her neck, revealing dark golden patterns beneath her snow-white skin: "It needs the true fire of a pure-blooded phoenix to temper it."

After taking a deep breath, Zhuohuang continued, "I used my phoenix energy to help Your Majesty achieve the Dharma Body, and Your Majesty bestowed three strands of it upon me each day..."

At this point, Zhuohuang's meaning was quite clear.

Zhuohuang made a request for dual cultivation.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun did not hesitate much and immediately nodded, saying, "Alright."

Hearing Zheng Jun's words, Zhuohuang, though prepared, was still slightly nervous. Glancing around, she saw that most of the Wan Yao Palace had not yet collapsed, and immediately said softly, "Your Majesty, that old bear has fled. This palace is quite grand; perhaps we could stay there..."

"it is good."

The two disappeared at the same time and arrived at the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons in an instant.

The phoenix feather robes transformed into flowing clouds that draped the jade steps, while the sky was ablaze with vibrant colors, displaying a magnificent aurora-like hue.

……

In the far west, at the Great Thunder Temple.

The golden light of the Buddha pierced through the clouds, and the eight-treasure glazed pagoda reflected the snow, enveloping the entire holy city in a pale golden barrier.

The Buddha of the Western Paradise sat cross-legged on a nine-tiered lotus throne. Suddenly, the Bodhi string in his hand broke, and the 108 chalcedony prayer beads turned blood red as they fell to the ground.

"Amitabha."

The Buddha chanted the Buddha's name softly, his eyes beneath his white eyebrows like the gentle ripples of an ancient well.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly surged in the sky. A beam of blue light, carrying frost, shattered the three-thousand-mile-long Buddhist light barrier and crashed heavily onto the banks of the Eight Merits Pool, freezing the golden lotuses within and causing them to wither instantly.

"World Honored One, save me!"

Ice crystals spread across the severed paw of the white bear transformed from the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Palace, and the fierce light in his single eye was replaced by fear!
The figure of the Buddha of the Western Paradise was still clearly on the lotus platform, but another golden Dharma image had already appeared by the Merit Pool.

The old monk who appeared beside the Merit Pool, wearing a patchwork robe, put his hands together in prayer and said to the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons, "Palace Master, please be careful with your words. How could there be killing in our pure Buddhist land?"

To be honest, the Buddha is a little dizzy right now.

Not long ago, when Master Qingxu Wanfa fled to the Buddhist Kingdom, Zheng Jun broke down the mountain gate and killed the man in the blood-stained Taoist robe right in front of him.

Why are you here again?

Will they do it a second time?

Last time, he lost face in front of the Buddhist community.

If it were to happen again, the World Honored One felt he would have to fight Zheng Jun no matter what.

Therefore, the World Honored One was on high alert, comforting the Lord of the Myriad Demon Palace while simultaneously observing the surrounding atmosphere.

Seeing that Zheng Jun did not pursue them, the World-Honored One immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said compassionately, "Since the Palace Master has come to my Buddhist Kingdom, from this day forward, the Palace Master will be the Vice Master of my Western Buddhist Kingdom, and will be known as 'Formless Prajna Tathagata'."

Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons naturally knew that the Supreme Venerable of the Western Paradise was going to protect him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands together, and thanked him.

Seeing this, the World Honored One nodded inwardly, but his divine sense quietly probed towards the North Sea. The moment his divine sense touched the ruins of the Xuan Shuang Palace, two intertwined auras struck like thunder!

The purple-gold imperial aura and the blazing flames intertwined to form a cocoon, and one could vaguely see the crimson feather robe and the black dragon robe attacking him together!

"not good!"

The World Honored One hastily withdrew his divine sense, his pupils beneath his white eyebrows contracting violently, his face turning ashen: "Zhuohuang and Zheng Jun have actually mixed up together, what should we do?"

Although he didn't see the main character, the World Honored One hadn't lived these three lifetimes for nothing, so he could tell at a glance that Zhuohuang had already submitted to Zheng Jun and wanted to rule the world together with him.

In addition, there was Shennong, who had already submitted to them.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the far west at all!

Now, with You Tiankun wandering outside, he has no way to seek help from other worlds...

For a moment, the Western World-Honored One was in utter confusion, completely unsure of his future path. (End of Chapter)
