Chapter 854: 652 Various powerhouses make their entrance

Breeding the Human Race as blood nourishment has long been a tradition of the Demon Clan.

In the Ancient Era, when the Human Race was first born, their strength was meager. Yet, due to the protection bestowed by Empress Nuwa, no clan on the vast lands of the Prehistoric World dared to lay a hand on the Human Race.

However, as the Human Race developed and their numbers grew, aside from those in the Ancestral Land who still enjoyed Empress Nuwa’s protection, those outside the Ancestral Land became the targets of many other races.

In the Ancient Era, even though the Human Race was not considered the paramount of all spirits, they carried the aura of the Heaven and Earth’s spiritual rhyme. The people of the Ancient Human Race embodied the Innate Creative Essence within them.

This was the essence of Empress Nuwa’s divine blood mixed with the power of three supreme sacred objects: the Three Lights Divine Water, the Soil of Rest, and Nine Heavens Essence. A special creative force was formed from this mixture.

As beings born of such creation, the Ancient Human Race was naturally medicinal. The benefits reaped from consuming them surpassed those obtained from eating humans in modern times.

It could be said that, in the Ancient Era, the flesh and blood of the Human Race were highly sought after and in short supply. If a host could serve Human flesh to guests, it was an extremely prestigious affair.

Even with the protection of Empress Nuwa, bearing the force of creation could not suppress the greed of countless races, and thus, the Human Race was often attacked by foreign clans.

But the Demon Clan was different; they formally revered Empress Nuwa as Emperor Wa, so it wasn’t suitable for them to directly target the Human Race.

Initially, the Demon Clan did not act against the Human Race. However, that changed when the Ancient Human Race learned to domesticate livestock.

Seeing this, the powerful ones among the Demon Clan realized the potential and, following suit, they started to breed the Human Race as livestock for their consumption.

Thus, it can be said that the Demon Clan’s breeding of the Human Race has tradition. And this is one of the origins of the enmity between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.

...

......

Elder Bai remained silent, and at this moment, silence was the best answer, practically tantamount to an admission.

"Aaaaah..."

Someone roared furiously, exerting all their power to hurl their Divine Ability at Elder Bai.

Alas, with the negligible cultivation of these disciples, how could they possibly harm Elder Bai? Their attacks dissipated soundlessly before even approaching within three feet of him.

It was only because Jiang Chen and others stood by as a deterrent that Elder Bai hesitated to act; otherwise, these attacking disciples would likely have faced certain death.

"Avoiding the main issue!"

"Elder Bai, stop deceiving yourself with these self-deluding excuses. Do you think your Demon Clan’s schemes are truly flawless and without weaknesses? The desire for blood nourishment cannot disguise your real agenda," Jiang Chen said, unable to hold back any longer.

"Since I have acted today, it means your Demon Clan’s schemes have been exposed."

Seeing how things had unfolded, Elder Bai was still trying to conceal his real purpose, prompting Jiang Chen to speak out.

"What Demon Clan schemes? I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’ve defected from the Demon Clan for countless years now, what do their schemes have to do with me?" Elder Bai chuckled with a sneer, flatly denying any connection with the Demon Clan.

"Why bother? You, under the guise of a Demon Immortal, secretly plot the resurrection of Di Jun Taiyi—this is no secret in Dongsheng Divine Continent. Why do you persist in hiding it?"

Jiang Chen did not intend to conceal anything, directly revealing the Demon Clan’s plans.

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai’s face changed drastically, and he stared at Jiang Chen, too angry to speak.

If this matter remained in Jiang Chen’s heart, it would still be a secret. But once Jiang Chen revealed it before everyone, it was no longer a secret, exposed Between Heaven and Earth, immediately sensed by relevant beings.

"What?"

"Resurrect Di Jun Taiyi?"

"Are they really so bold?"

Indeed, at the moment Jiang Chen’s voice fell, within the Prehistoric World, many powerful beings began to sense something and looked towards Dongsheng Divine Continent.

These were beings with grudges against the Demon Clan, or those who rose to power by suppressing the Demon Clan after their decline. They weren’t afraid of the present Demon Clan, but shared the same worry as the Three Demons—that Di Jun Taiyi’s resurrection would lead to a settling of scores with them.

Therefore, after Jiang Chen exposed the true scheme of the Demon Clan, these beings, on a whim, sensed the issue at the earliest possible time.

"Demon Immortal!"

"Rebels of the Demon Clan!"

"Very good, when these remnants of the Demon Clan betrayed their own, I vaguely sensed something amiss but couldn’t discern their purpose."

"So, they’ve been hiding under the protection of Immortal Dao, using the name of ’Demon Immortal’ to secretly gather Fate, for the act of resurrecting Di Jun Taiyi."

"Good, truly very good!"

"And there are the Great Divine Transcendents from Dongsheng Divine Continent, they’re even better, letting the remnants of the Demon Clan cause trouble right under their noses. Are they aiming to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi to tie up the Saints’ energy?"

"What a clever calculation!"

These powerful beings, whose cultivations reached the skies, needed only a thought to understand why this group of Demon Immortals had planned for so many years without them sensing anything amiss earlier—it was all due to the handiwork of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents from Dongsheng Divine Continent, who had concealed the heavenly secrets.

"The Demon Immortals must be executed!"

Someone spoke up, with a cold intent to kill, reaching out with a giant hand that covered the sky and fiercely swiped towards Dongsheng Divine Continent to slay a Demon Immortal of Taoist Master Level.

"How audacious!"

"How dare an outsider cause chaos in the sacred land of Immortal Dao!"

The majestic voice echoed Between Heaven and Earth, containing unimaginable authority, shattering the sky-covering giant hand that was reaching towards Dongsheng Divine Continent.

"Elder, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you intend to protect that Demon Immortal and allow them to resurrect Di Jun Taiyi?" a powerful being asked the person who had spoken.

Without showing themselves, just a single voice was enough to break their Divine Abilities. Within Dongsheng Divine Continent, only those Great Divine Transcendents had such capability.

Clearly, it had been the Great Divine Transcendents from Dongsheng Divine Continent who had taken action. These powerful beings, though strong, were mostly of Quasi-Saint level, the ancient ancestors of their respective races, and their strengths were still somewhat inferior to those of the Great Divine Transcendents.

Therefore, they might not yield inwardly to these Great Divine Transcendents, but they had no choice but to bow their heads.

"Not at all! The plots of the Demon Immortals have nothing to do with our Mystic Sect, nor with Dongsheng Divine Continent."

"It is only because your strengths are too immense. If you enter Dongsheng Divine Continent for a great battle with the Demon Immortals, it would inevitably cause irreparable damage to this place. Therefore, we will not permit you to step into Dongsheng Divine Continent."

Voices sounded once again from the void, denying any association with the Demon Immortals.

"Elders, you..."

Upon hearing this, the crowd became furious, as it was clear that the Great Divine Transcendents were openly favoring these Demon Immortals. Otherwise, why would they prevent them from entering Dongsheng Divine Continent?

As for causing damage to Dongsheng Divine Continent, that was an absurd idea. With so many Great Divine Transcendents in place, even a self-destructing Quasi-Saint wouldn’t dream of damaging this place.

Damn, it’s not good to go to the hospital even if I’m sealed.
