Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long immediately recognized them as the demon saints who had not yet perished.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man dressed in white robes, exuding an aura of wisdom and profundity; he was none other than Bai Ze, one of the Ten Great Demon Saints.

Several figures stood beside Bai Ze... Ji Meng, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Ying Zhao...!

Further into the mountains, there were countless weaker auras, the former members of the demon race. Although they were not as powerful as the Demon Saint, they were numerous and scattered densely among the mountains.

As for the purpose of their gathering, Huang Long looked towards the gate in the void, which was radiating vast fluctuations.

At this moment, a faint light was flowing over the North Heavenly Gate, as if some power was activating it from within.

These demons had clearly noticed this as well, which is why they gathered here, their eyes fixed on the North Heavenly Gate, their eyes flashing with intense light.

"The Northern Heavenly Gate is about to open!" Ji Meng's voice echoed like muffled thunder among the mountains.

"The Celestial Realm is finally about to reopen."

"We can finally go back." Shang Yang's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.

The auras of all the demon saints became violent, as if they were about to burst into the sky at any moment.

Only Bai Ze remained calm. He looked up at the North Heavenly Gate, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

He was a wise man among the demon race. He remembered that when they were removed from the heavens by an unparalleled power, it was the sage Nuwa who spoke up, allowing the demon race to settle on this northern continent.

From that moment on, he knew that the celestial realm no longer belonged to the demon race.

But he did not offer any advice or dissuasion.

Because he knew that these demon saints had been waiting for this day for far too long.

Just then, a great light shone brightly above the North Heavenly Gate.

The door that had been tightly shut for millennia slowly opened from the inside out.

An incredibly rich innate spiritual energy overflowed from the door, carrying a profound Daoist charm. The group of demon saints looked at the door with excitement, their eyes flashing red light, and their breathing became rapid.

Behind that door lies the celestial realm.

It was their former territory, a place they longed to return to every day.

"Rush!"

Someone shouted, and all the other demon saints except Bai Ze moved at the same time.

They transformed into streaks of light, charging toward the open North Heavenly Gate with a ferocious momentum.

When several Quasi-Saints attack at the same time, how terrifying is their power?

The entire void trembled slightly, and cracks emanated waves of destruction.

The wind howled and thunder roared.

However, just as they were about to step into the North Heavenly Gate, two figures emerged from inside the gate.

They were two young people, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in a black imperial robe, with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and exuded the aura of a quasi-saint.

The woman was dressed in a white palace gown, with a gold hairpin inserted among the embroidered flowers. She had a delicate and beautiful appearance, and a dignified and noble temperament, exuding the aura of a quasi-saint.

They stood before the North Heavenly Gate, facing several demon saints, their expressions calm and without a trace of panic.

The demon saints stopped in their tracks as they looked at the two figures.

They weren't intimidated by the two young men's imposing presence, but rather by an aura of instinctive awe emanating from them.

That wasn't a difference in strength, but rather a suppression based on social status.

That was a status bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, just like the Heavenly Emperor's aura emanating from Di Jun back then.

Ji Meng was the first to react. His eyes flashed red, filled with murderous intent. He glared at the two young men and roared, "Who are you? Why are you in the Heavenly Realm?"

At the same time, the other demon saints exuded a chilling killing intent, which enveloped the two figures.

The combined killing intent of several demon saints caused the void to freeze.

However, the two young men remained calm.

The man even frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with the killing intent emanating from the demon saints.

Just then, a yellow streak of light flew in from afar and instantly appeared in front of the North Heavenly Gate, blocking the two young men and the Demon Saint.

It is Huanglong!

He stood before the Demon Saints. His cultivation at the peak of the Great Luo realm seemed insignificant in front of the Quasi-Saints, but his figure caused the pupils of all the Demon Saints to shrink.

"Huanglong!"

"Huanglong, a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun!"

The demon saints looked at Huanglong, and their killing intent instantly subsided.

"Ji Meng, your demon race wants to be wiped out!"

Huanglong's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every demon saint.

His gaze swept over the various demon saints, finally settling on Ji Meng, his tone carrying an uncompromising threat.

"Huanglong, even if you are a disciple of a sage, you cannot stop us from returning to the Heavenly Realm."

"Return to the Heavenly Realm!" Huanglong snorted coldly.

"You demons now only have this land beneath your feet to live on."

"The Celestial Realm has no connection whatsoever with your demon race."

One by one, the demon saints flew into a rage, their violent quasi-saint aura spreading out and constantly impacting Huanglong.

"The Celestial Realm was discovered by our demon race and has always been under the control of the demon race. Now that the Celestial Realm has reopened, it should rightfully belong to the demon race."

As Huanglong looked at the various demon saints, his rationality was being devoured by boundless karmic burdens.

Huang Long shook his head and did not argue with them.

"These two are the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother, appointed by the Dao Ancestor. You, as former subjects of the demon race, not only fail to submit but also turn your murderous intent towards them. Do you intend to rebel?"

When Huanglong spoke, he infused his voice with the purifying power of the Pure World White Lotus.

As soon as the words were spoken, the crimson in the eyes of the demon saints gradually faded.

They stared in shock at Huang Long and the two figures behind him.

Heavenly Emperor? Queen Mother of the West?

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

In their minds, the Heavenly Emperor could only be Di Jun, the one who led the demon race to glory.

Although Di Jun has perished, the position of Heavenly Emperor should be left to the demon race, to Di Jun's descendants, and to the strongest among the demon race!

But now, two quasi-saints at the early stage have actually become the new Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court.

Ji Meng gripped the spear tightly, but the violent aura around him slowly subsided.

Although the demon saints Shang Yang and Jiu Ying were unwilling, they also concealed their auras.

Because they heard the words "the Daoist ancestor bestowed titles".

Dao Ancestor!

That being who unites the Heavenly Dao, that being whose word can determine the rise and fall of all races in the primordial world.

Who dares to oppose the Dao Ancestor's investiture?

After intimidating the group of demon saints, Huanglong turned to face the two young men and bowed slightly in respect.

"Huang Long, a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, greets Uncle Haotian and Uncle Yaochi."

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

They had just opened the North Heavenly Gate, intending to create a passage between the Heavenly Realm and the Primordial World, and to gather a person from the Primordial World to fill the void in the Heavenly Court.

Unexpectedly, upon opening the door, they saw several powerful auras surrounding the North Heavenly Gate, all of whom were quasi-saint level experts.

Although they appeared calm, they were not without worry.

But if he retreats without a fight, his authority as the Heavenly Emperor will surely be completely destroyed.

Just as they were preparing for a full-scale battle, the young man in the yellow Taoist robe suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

That young man was only at the peak of the Great Luo realm, yet he dared to face several quasi-saint realm demon saints and intimidated them!
