Primordial Era: Mistakenly Taking Emperor Xin as Father, Nuwa is Destroyed at the Start

Chapter 25 The Jade Emperor's Underhanded Tactics, Yunxiao Unleashes the Devouring Heaven Demon

Haotian calmed down, tapping his fingers lightly on the imperial desk, his eyes flashing with a sinister light as he analyzed the situation:

"That brat Di Xin has tasted success after recruiting the Seven Monsters of Meishan. Next, he will definitely set his sights on those rogue cultivators in the outer sect of the Jie Sect. Ma Yuan, Yu Yixian... these troublemakers are the most likely to be his targets."

Venus wholeheartedly agreed:

"Your Majesty is wise. Ma Yuan is bloodthirsty, and Yu Yixian is arrogant; both are restless individuals. If they are indeed recruited by Emperor Xin, it will certainly be troublesome."

"Hmph, troublesome?"

Haotian's lips curled into a cold smile, exuding an air of absolute confidence.

"You don't need to run errands this time. Two mere outer disciples are not worth my angel's personal visit."

With a thought, a golden light condensed in his palm, transforming into a small jade slip.

With a flick of his fingertip, Haotian imprinted a decree containing his will upon it.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, the jade artifact transformed into a stream of light, instantly disappearing from the main hall and flying straight towards Jin'ao Island in the lower realm.

"This is……"

Venus was somewhat curious.

Haotian said calmly, "I will personally write a letter and send it to that Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal. As one of the Seven Immortals, his status among the second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect is second only to the Four Direct Disciples. With him on the side, restraining Ma Yuan and Yu Yi Xian, these two outer disciples, is just a matter of a few words. This is much easier and carries more weight than you making a trip."

Venus suddenly realized, and his face immediately filled with a smile of admiration:

"Brilliant plan! Your Majesty is wise! In this way, those two troublemakers will certainly not dare to act rashly. Emperor Xin wants to recruit members of the Jie Sect? Not a chance!"

Haotian nodded slightly, clearly satisfied with the result. But he felt it wasn't enough.

"Simply blocking the path of the Intercepting Sect isn't enough." Haotian's eyes sharpened. "Didn't Di Xin want to deify himself and bewitch people? I'll make him shoot himself in the foot! I'll let the world see who's causing them suffering!"

His voice turned cold, carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Issue my decree! Order all mountain gods, land gods, and river gods within the Great Shang territory to immediately take action! Clearly convey the will of the Heavenly Court to the ears of every mortal!"

"Tell them!"

Haotian's voice echoed in the Lingxiao Palace.

"The reason why the gods of Heaven stood idly by was not because I did not care for the common people, but because you, Emperor Xin, were arrogant and rebellious, arbitrarily killing the righteous gods of Heaven and blaspheming the majesty of Heaven! Such a great crime of disrespect must be punished by Heaven!"

"All the calamities and suffering you mortals endure today are due to the fault of your king! It is he who has angered Heaven!"

Venus's eyes lit up as he listened, and he couldn't help but clap his hands in praise:

"Brilliant! Your Majesty's plan is truly brilliant! A two-pronged approach!"

On one hand, it cut off Di Xin's path to recruit powerful allies, and on the other hand, it undermined him by placing him in the midst of widespread resentment!

This tactic of generalship is something Di Xin (the future emperor) probably can't withstand!

Haotian finally revealed a smug smile, leaned back on his throne, and resumed his arrogant demeanor.

"That's natural."

His tone was dismissive, as if he had everything under control.

"Does he really think I, the Jade Emperor, am made of clay? I may not be able to control those core disciples of the Chan and Jie sects with deep roots, but if I can't even control a human emperor..."

"Then I, the Jade Emperor, should really pack my bags and go back to the Purple Cloud Palace to continue being the fire-tending boy for the Dao Ancestor!"

Venus chuckled twice, echoing Haotian's words.

The two were chatting and laughing.

The jade slip carrying the imperial decree transformed into a golden light, moving at incredible speed, and arrived at Jin'ao Island in the blink of an eye.

It fell precisely into the hands of the Long-Eared Immortal.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's expression immediately turned serious.

He dared not delay and immediately got up to leave Jin'ao Island to carry out the task assigned by the Jade Emperor.

But as soon as they reached the edge of the island, before they even left, they were met head-on by the clouds.

Yunxiao stood there, staring intently at him, a gaze that made Chang'er Dingguangxian feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he were being pricked by needles.

"Senior Brother Long-Eared, where are you going in such a hurry?" Yunxiao asked, his voice cold.

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian felt a little uneasy, but remembering the Jade Emperor's decree, he still braced himself and answered:

"Oh, it's Senior Sister Yunxiao. I was just about to go out to take care of something. That Di Xin is ungrateful and has offended the Heavenly Court. His Majesty the Jade Emperor has ordered me to bring those two unruly fellows, Ma Yuan and Yu Yixian, back to the island, lest they be bewitched by Di Xin and cause trouble for the Heavenly Court, and also implicate our Jie Sect."

After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Yunxiao and then tried to walk around her and leave quickly.

"stop!"

Yunxiao gave a cold shout and blocked his way.

Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang was taken aback: "Senior Sister, what do you mean? The Jade Emperor's decree is of utmost importance!"

Yunxiao revealed a mocking smile: "The Jade Emperor's decree? How difficult it is to govern in Heaven, what does that have to do with our Jie Sect? Did the Jade Emperor pay you a salary or bestow an official title upon you?"

She stared into Chang'er Dingguangxian's eyes, her tone aggressive: "Since you're not an official of the Heavenly Court, why are you so concerned about its affairs? More so than about your own sect? Senior Brother Chang'er, explain yourself to me!"

Long-Eared Dingguangxian was speechless, his face turning red and white in turns. He stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent answer.

"I...I'm doing this for the greater good of the Jie Sect! Senior Sister, please move aside, don't delay our important business!"

Long-eared Dingguangxian was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and wanted to force his way through.

"Hmph! For the greater good of the Jie Sect?" Yunxiao's sneer deepened. "I think you have ulterior motives! I told you, you're not leaving today!"

Her magical power surged, and her powerful aura locked onto Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, clearly indicating that she would not allow him to leave Jin'ao Island even a step.

"Yunxiao! You've gone too far! How dare you obstruct me from carrying out the Jade Emperor's decree? Are you plotting treason?"

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was both surprised and angry, and shouted loudly.

"Traitor?" Yunxiao's eyes were sharp as knives. "I think it's you, you traitor, who's more suspicious! From this day forward, you, Chang'er Dingguang Xian, will stay obediently on Jin'ao Island and are not allowed to leave even a step!"

"What? You dare to detain me?"

Chang'er Dingguang Xian could hardly believe his ears, trembling with rage. "Yunxiao! What right do you have? Just because you're the head of the Three Immortals? I, Chang'er, am also one of the Seven Immortals, my status isn't much lower than yours! What right do you have to restrict my freedom? I demand to see my master!"

The argument between the two and the fluctuations in their magical power immediately attracted the attention of many disciples of the Jie Sect in the vicinity.

Everyone gathered around, looking at the two men who were on the verge of exchanging blows with astonishment and confusion.

"What's going on? Why are Senior Sister Yunxiao and Senior Brother Chang'er arguing?"

"Senior Sister Yunxiao won't let Senior Brother Chang'er leave the island?"

"This...this is getting a bit out of hand..."

Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion and the situation was at a stalemate, a dignified voice rang out: "What are you all doing here? What kind of behavior is this!"

The crowd parted to make way, and Daoist Duobao walked over with a sullen face.

As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, no one dared to underestimate his power.

Seeing Duobao arrive, Chang'er Dingguangxian grasped at a straw and immediately shouted:

"Senior Brother! You've come at the right time! Senior Sister Yunxiao has gone mad! She dared to obstruct me from carrying out the Jade Emperor's decree and even wants to imprison me on the island! You must do something about her!"

Daoist Duobao frowned, looked at Yunxiao, and spoke with a reproachful tone:

"Junior Sister Yunxiao, what's going on? Why are you stopping Junior Brother Chang'er? The Jade Emperor's decree is no small matter; how can it be treated lightly? Get out of the way at once!"

Qiongxiao and Bixiao also rushed over upon hearing the news. They became nervous when they saw their sister being questioned by their senior brother.

Qiongxiao quickly spoke up, "Senior Brother, please calm down, my sister..."

Bixiao was also eager to explain for her sister: "Senior Brother, Sister must have her reasons..."

But Daoist Duobao was clearly getting impatient.

Seeing that Yunxiao remained standing in the same spot despite his command, showing no intention of moving aside, his face darkened completely.

"Yunxiao! You're not even listening to me anymore?"

Daoist Duobao's voice turned cold, carrying an undeniable air of authority, "It seems you truly don't respect me, your senior brother! In that case, I'll discipline you on behalf of our master!"

Before he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Duobao Daoist's eyes. Without any visible movement, a huge golden hand formed from boundless magical power appeared out of thin air, carrying a terrifying pressure that suppressed everything, and grabbed down towards the sky!

This giant golden hand shone with boundless light, containing the terrifying power of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, as if it could crush stars and imprison the void.

The surrounding air froze instantly, and the space itself groaned under the strain.

The disciples watching were forced to retreat repeatedly by this oppressive aura, their faces filled with horror.

"The eldest brother has made his move!"

"What terrifying power!"

"Senior Sister Yunxiao is in danger!"

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were terrified when they saw the enormous golden hand descending, its size obscuring the sky, and they cried out in alarm:

"Sister! Be careful!"

Their hearts leaped into their throats, their eyes filled with despair.

The eldest brother attacked in anger; how could the sister possibly withstand such a blow?

Long-eared Dingguangxian revealed a smug grin, as if he could already see Yunxiao's miserable state after being suppressed.

Just as that giant golden hand was about to grab the clouds at the last second!

Yunxiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head.

Her eyes were no longer cold as before, but had become incredibly deep, like two black holes that devoured everything.

An indescribable, ancient, domineering, and all-consuming terrifying aura suddenly erupted from her!

"Devouring Heaven Demon Technique!"

Yunxiao uttered four cold words, one word at a time.

As she finished speaking, the void behind her suddenly twisted and collapsed!

A gigantic, pitch-black phantom jar, seemingly capable of swallowing all light in the world, suddenly appeared!

The moment the phantom of the magic jar appeared, the entire Golden Turtle Island seemed to darken for a moment.

A chilling, devouring force spread out, as if it would suck in, crush, and digest even space, time, and the laws of nature!

That imposing golden giant hand, seemingly capable of suppressing everything, was like ice and snow meeting a red-hot iron the moment it touched the edge of the illusory magic pot!

scoff!

That imposing golden giant hand, seemingly capable of suppressing everything, was like ice and snow meeting a red-hot iron the moment it touched the edge of the illusory magic pot!

scoff!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a teeth-grinding tearing sound!

The golden giant hand, formed from the pure magical power of Daoist Duobao and capable of easily suppressing a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was torn apart like fragile cloth by the terrifying devouring power emanating from the phantom of the demonic jar!

Even more terrifying, the massive golden magical power that was torn apart did not dissipate or explode. Instead, it was devoured and absorbed by the dark, illusory demonic jar, like rivers flowing into the sea!

In the time it takes to breathe!

That colossal golden hand, which blotted out the sky, along with the terrifying power it contained, vanished without a trace.

Only the dark, ethereal jar, hovering behind the clouds and slowly rotating, exuded an even deeper and more terrifying aura, testifying to everything that had just happened.

The entire Jin'ao Island was deathly silent!

All the disciples of the Jie Sect who were watching, including Qiongxiao and Bixiao, were stunned, their mouths agape as if they had been frozen in place, their mouths agape enough to fit an egg.

Daoist Duobao's full-force attack, powerful enough to suppress a Grand Luo Golden Immortal... was actually... so easily... torn apart... and devoured by Senior Sister Yunxiao?!

The eldest sister took a direct hit from the senior brother? How is that possible?

Their minds were buzzing; they couldn't wrap their heads around it at all.

Even Daoist Duobao was bewildered.

He's a quasi-saint!

The attack, launched in anger, was easily neutralized by Yunxiao, and its power was even absorbed.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

Daoist Duobao frowned, his eyes becoming serious.

He was very dissatisfied.

He hadn't used his full strength just now, but Yunxiao's ability to catch it so easily made him lose face.

His magical power surged once more, and golden light gathered in his palm, clearly indicating his intention to unleash an even more ruthless attack.

Before he could even make a move.

boom!

An indescribable pressure instantly enveloped the entire Jin'ao Island.

It was as if the world had fallen silent.

All the disciples, including Duobao and Yunxiao, felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

A dignified yet calm voice resounded directly in everyone's minds:

That's enough.

"Duobao, Yunxiao, stop immediately."

"Yunxiao, come to Biyou Palace to see me."

It's the voice of Master Tongtian!

The authority of a sage is beyond question.

The golden light in Duobao Daoist's palm vanished instantly.

He bowed respectfully towards Biyou Palace, saying, "I will obey my master's decree."

He stepped aside and remained silent.

No one noticed that a fleeting glimpse of intense longing and greed for the power of the saint flashed briefly beneath his lowered eyelids, but he immediately concealed it perfectly.

The pressure on the field decreased sharply.

The long-eared Dingguangxian, who had been suffocating under Yunxiao's imposing aura, suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He secretly glanced at Duobao, whose face was calm, and then looked at Yunxiao, who had been summoned by his master. He couldn't help but feel a surge of schadenfreude.

He thought to himself, "Hmph! Yunxiao, you've got some nerve! Daring to obstruct the Jade Emperor's decree and even attacking my senior brother? Now look what's happened! Master has summoned me personally; you're definitely in for a rough time! Just wait and see!"

Bixiao and Qiongxiao only then recovered from their great shock.

The power that the eldest sister just displayed was terrifying; she was actually able to fight against a quasi-saint!

But this was immediately followed by even deeper concerns.

Bixiao grabbed Qiongxiao's hand, almost crying, "Second Sister! Eldest Sister... why did she suddenly become so impulsive? Why did she fight with Senior Brother? What will we do if Master summons her now?"

Qiongxiao's face was also full of worry, her brows furrowed: "Yes, eldest sister is usually the most composed, what happened this time? Didn't she go to Chaoge to investigate? She came back like a completely different person..."

The two sisters exchanged a glance and both saw the confusion and anxiety in each other's eyes.

They simply couldn't understand what their eldest sister had gone through on her trip to Chaoge that made her so abnormal, even to the point of contradicting her senior brother.

In fact, Yunxiao, who was walking deeper into Biyou Palace at this moment, was also feeling uneasy and anxious.

Yunxiao took a deep breath and respectfully stepped into the depths of Biyou Palace.

She dared not raise her head and was about to bow according to custom to apologize first.

"Um?"

A voice, clearly surprised, rang out even faster than hers.

It was the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Yunxiao quickly bowed: "Disciple Yunxiao greets Master..."

The voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader rang out again, directly interrupting her greeting.

The voice was filled with inquiry and a hint of barely perceptible surprise:

"Yunxiao, why are you surrounded by such a strong, unprecedented aura of unpredictability?"

"Weren't you ordered by me to go to Chaoge City to investigate the mysterious sword light and the cause and effect behind Di Xin?"

What exactly was discovered on this trip?

"Why did his personality change so drastically after his return, even daring to fight with Duobao?"

"Where does this aura emanating from you come from?"
