820: Chapter 286 Heavenly Emperor’s Decree!

Daoxian Slaying Demons!_2 820: Chapter 286 Heavenly Emperor’s Decree!

Daoxian Slaying Demons!_2 The first figure was an old Daoist in a gray robe, carrying a great gourd on his back and holding a wooden staff as a walking stick.

Li Ping’an sensed carefully and had an epiphany.

Daoist Luya!

Golden Crow’s tenth son!

He had once caused ten suns to rise simultaneously, scorching the earth and killing countless creatures, amassing the greatest karmic obstacles.

“Very reasonable.”

It was a pity, though, that the image of Daoist Luya was rather dim, as if he was not in the main world—possibly shielding himself from the Heavenly Dao’s probe.

The second figure was a dark cloud, the appearance of the great demon inside it not visible.

Li Ping’an deeply felt that this great demon’s true form was a flying creature with Phoenix blood, similarly seeming not to be in the main world.

The one with the third greatest karmic obstacles was Grey Sky King.

The fourth was a black python, also not in the main world.

But the fifth great demon was not only in the main world but also hiding not far from Grey Sky King’s lair.

This was a tiger demon.

The tiger clan was a major clan among the Hundred Clans, this old demon being naturally cruel, having devoured countless humans, relatively weaker among these dozen or so great demons, but to rank fifth in karmic obstacles truly warranted his execution.

Li Ping’an quickly pinpointed the second great demon to target.

Then, his gaze fell lower, swiftly marking the third massive demon—a primeval giant crocodile.

This crocodile was hidden in the poisonous sea on the southern side of the Northern Continent, using the poisonous miasma to conceal itself.

With that, today’s targets had been set—dragon demon, tiger demon, giant crocodile, all top-ranked great demons bearing immense, indelible karmic obstacles.

Li Ping’an glanced again at the numerous great demons listed beneath these, recognizing two figures quite familiar to him.

One was the lion ancestor Nine Spirit Yuan Saint, ranked sixth from the last in karmic obstacles.

It was a renowned great demon from the mythological stories Li Ping’an had heard since childhood.

The other was Mo Linyuan, ranked last in karmic obstacles.

This old raven also wasn’t deceiving in appearance.

Though he was a slave to the heavens, deeply invaded by the Heavenly Dao, he truly didn’t have much of a record; his karmic obstacles were the least among all the Daluo Realm great demons.

Noting down all this information about these great demons, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit shattered the list in front of him and looked up at the Golden Cloud above.

Then he bent his knees and leapt, his Primordial Spirit flew into Lingxiao Palace and took the seat at the Heaven Emperor’s throne, his spirit blessed, an epiphany of his own making drew numerous Heavenly Dao merits, converging from the desk in front of him.

A golden Divine Cloth rapidly formed.

Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit held a writing brush and released an edict for the demon hunt.

He turned his head to see the Heaven Emperor’s Seal, still halfway formed, grabbed the great seal, and pressed down, another expenditure of Heavenly Dao merit, but a vague red imprint instantly appeared on the cloth.

Heaven Emperor’s edict!

Immediately, Li Ping’an, rising from the clouds, lifted his left hand slightly, a strand of golden light surrounding and solidifying the cloth.

The immortals, just by looking at the unopened cloth, felt the presence of the dragon demon, tiger demon, and giant crocodile information emerging in their hearts, knowing their locations.

Li Ping’an spoke rapidly,

“Please go ahead and reach these three great demons.

“If they discover your tracks, strike there and then, but if they remain unaware, wait for this edict to drop, then take action!

“Thus, the Heavenly Dao itself will bestow its merits.”

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi waved his hand grandly, Three Teachings’ experts accordingly divided into teams, each leading an object for the hunt.

Jinling Saint Mother led Huanglong and Shiji to the north to slay the giant crocodile;

Taiyi, Yu Ding, and Guilingling went west to eliminate the tiger demon;

Great Mage along with Guang Chengzi, accompanied by Li Dazhi, Qing Su, and Zi Yao, remained here to execute the Grey Sky King.

The immortals discreetly vanished into thin air, each preparing for a sneak attack.

Moments later, Great Mage felt a slight tremor in the Qiankun ruler in his hand.

Turning towards Li Ping’an, Great Mage greeted him with a Daoist bow and solemnly said, “Your Majesty, the junior brothers and sisters have reached their positions and can act at any time.”

“Good.”

Li Ping’an nodded in approval, holding his very first imperial edict in his left hand, looking towards his old father.

Announcing the edict also had merits to gain.

Li Dazhi grinned, immediately stepping forward to take the edict, but paused and looked towards Zi Yao and Qing Su.

“Cough!

Let’s have Immortal Zi Yao announce the edict!”

“Is that alright?”

Zi Yao blinked in obvious surprise.

Li Dazhi laughed, “I don’t present very well, with a messy beard and a potbelly.

You, fairy, are exquisitely beautiful, a disruption to the nation, most suitable for such a task.”

Zi Yao looked towards Li Ping’an and said, “You flatter me.

Everyone knows of Great Wealth Immortal’s fame; Zi Yao respects it greatly.

If this… If His Majesty allows, Zi Yao is willing to take the task.”

“Stop with the formalities, let’s get down to business.”

Li Ping’an tossed the cloth over.

Zi Yao Xianzi pursed her lips, smiled lightly, took the cloth with both hands, bowed to Li Ping’an, then turned and walked towards the clouds, taking a light breath.

She was still the charming and delicate Immortal a moment ago;

But in this moment, her pretty face suddenly turned cold, emanating a powerful aura without anger!

Above the hidden cave of the Demon King, the cloud suddenly revealed itself, projecting Zi Yao’s figure into the hearts of all creatures within a thousand miles.

“Heavenly Emperor’s decree!”

Zi Yao’s crisp voice echoed beside all being’s ears and arose within their hearts:

“The ancient Hundred Clans harbor hazardous demons and monsters, and now, the New Heavenly Court shall be established to purge these ancient perils and restore clear skies for all spirits.

“From this day forth, the Great Demons Grey Jiao, Tiger King, and Giant Crocodile are declared wanted across Desolate Era, inside and out.

Should any capable beings be able to slay them, they shall receive merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao!

“Let this decree be revered, and the Heavenly Dao be resonant!”

With her last word, the decree in her hand turned into a golden light that shot straight towards the heavens.

Dark clouds rolled between heaven and earth, and thunder roared with three blue-white celestial punitive thunderbolts striking simultaneously, targeting the hiding places of the three great demons!

Look below!

The earth began to rumble endlessly, a dragon roared, causing waves of Spiritual Energy, making beasts and fish tremble, and weaker minor demons weeping softly.

This place was the heartland of the Demon Race, not far from great cities and tribes; numerous from the Demon Race were now watching this scene.

A silver-grey giant Jiao suddenly burst out of the valley, looked up at Zi Yao Xianzi in the sky, and roared furiously,

“This King shall eat you first, you lapdog of the Heavenly Emperor!”

Zi Yao narrowed her eyes.

The soaring silver-grey giant Jiao suddenly recognized this Dao Charm—it was the same one that had injured him through the Illusionary Realm from afar…

The giant Jiao’s enormous body halted its charge abruptly, like a mortal seeing a ghost, and turned around to flee towards the direction of the Sacred Mountain.

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed: “Evil beast!”

Guang Chengzi appeared in the path of the fleeing great demon, pointing a finger towards it.

The Demon King recognized Guang Chengzi instantly, and at this moment, his soul nearly fled his body as he pleaded,

“Great Immortal, spare my life!

Spare me!”

With a sweep—

The Heaven-Overturning Seal descended from the ninth heaven!

The Demon King struggled fiercely, dozens of divine lights surrounding him as he tried to surge upwards, yet was still struck at his tail by the Heaven-Overturning Seal.

In an instant, blood burst forth!

The thousand-foot-long Jiao crashed into the ridge of the valley, but a Dao Charm appeared over the mountain, holding the Jiao’s body steadily, preventing the flowers and grass below from being destroyed.

It was clearly the Great Mage intervening secretly.

The Heaven-Overturning Seal scattered endless celestial light, which solidified into chains that thoroughly bound the giant Jiao.

Fluctuations of The Great Dao were coming from both the west and the north.

Li Ping’an, utilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao, had already witnessed the other two demon-slaying scenes.

In the North Sea, Jin Ling Saint Mother pierced through the ancient giant crocodile’s head with a sword, leaving Shi Ji to deliver the final blow and eradicate the crocodile’s demon soul.

Inside the forest to the west, where tigers were roaring, the Magical Combat was taking place underground:

A thousand-foot-tall tiger demon was still in its slumber when it was simultaneously struck by a turtle shell, a great tripod on its head and back, and a fire-tipped spear appeared at the most vulnerable part of the tiger, releasing a fire dragon that penetrated the giant tiger’s body headfirst.

A perfectly executed surprise attack strategy.

In an instant, two ancient great demons, remnants of the Hundred Clans, were punished; naturally, Li Ping’an was greatly invigorated.

Now, looking closer!

Guang Chengzi, with his robes billowing, was already in front of the Demon King, his Longsword aimed at the giant Jiao’s glabella.

Compared to the Demon King, Guang Chengzi appeared as slight as a grain of rice;

But in Guang Chengzi’s hand, the Longsword contained endless Spiritual Power—enough to pierce through the demon’s soul with a single thrust!

At that moment!

A rainbow light descended from the high heavens!

Guang Chengzi’s brows furrowed tightly, yet he continued to thrust his Longsword forward.

The rainbow light was about to smash onto Guang Chengzi’s head when a black and white beam suddenly appeared, instantly forming a black and white Tai Chi Diagram.

This Tai Chi Diagram was merely a shadow, but as the rainbow light descended, it was directly swallowed up, transforming into boundless Spiritual Energy that spread into the world around.

The Innate Treasure, Tai Chi Diagram!

A version of modest power!

“Ha ha.”

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi appeared above Guang Chengzi, standing with his hands behind his back and smiling as he looked towards the direction of the Sacred Mountain.

“Junior brother, stay focused while slaying demons.”

Guang Chengzi’s eyes flickered with sharp light, he thrust his Longsword with all his might, and a beam of silver light burst forth from the earth and sky, effortlessly penetrating the Demon King’s demonic body!

In the direction of the Sacred Mountain, an old Daoist in a grey-black Daoist Robe, slowly rising into the sky on a cloud.

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi’s mouth curled into a smile, his hands behind his back as he gazed across the space at the other.

The atmosphere above the Western Continent suddenly became exceedingly tense.
