Chapter 888: Six Seven Nine attacked the Demon Clan_2

"Emperor Lord, please hear my words. The throne of the Human King is fraught with great terror; without the capabilities of a Saint, it is best not to attempt it." At this moment, Hou Yi spoke, likewise persuading Jiang Chen to change his mind.

Compared with others, he knew more, after all, during the Ancient Times, when he had seized the realm of the Xia Dynasty, he had thought of uniting the Human Race and achieving the great position of Human King.

Unfortunately, when he was about to become the Human King, Hou Yi stopped. Mother Earth appeared in person to tell him that without the capabilities of a Saint, it was best not to meddle with the throne of the Human King; otherwise, an unavoidable downfall was certain.

What sort of status and strength did Mother Earth possess? Since she had spoken thus, it implied that the path to become a Human King was indeed a dead end. After all, if one possessed the power of a Saint, who would care about the throne of a Human King?

"Man is destined to triumph over heaven!"

"I believe that man is destined to triumph over heaven!"

"The will of heaven may be strong, but it is not enough to stop my steps. I, Jiang Chen, am determined to occupy this throne of the Human King; no one can hinder me!"

"If heaven obstructs me, I will defy heaven!"

Regarding the path of Dao, how could the words of others shake Jiang Chen’s resolve? If even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t stop him, let alone the people.

The words of great defiance against the Dao came from Jiang Chen’s mouth, immediately causing everyone’s expressions to change drastically.

"Emperor Lord, speak cautiously—the Heavenly Dao is not to be mentioned lightly!"

The crowd spoke up, urging Jiang Chen not to talk further of defying heaven.

Boom!

It was the instant the crowd spoke up that from above the Sun Temple, suddenly came a loud noise, with endless thunderous light bursting forth. In an instant, a vast and imposing heavenly might spread out, filling the entire Boundless Starry Sky and the Heavenly Realm.

When different people cry out against heaven, they meet with entirely different responses. Mortals, powerless as they are, would even curse heaven loudly without the Heavenly Dao paying any heed, because mortals are impotent.

However, cultivators like Jiang Chen, in a burst of anger, can cause great destruction to Heaven and Earth, consequently, their every move is under the surveillance of the Heavenly Dao.

The act of proclaiming defiance against heaven, as Jiang Chen did, can be said to have violated the taboos of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao sent down a Thunderbolt of Zixiao to warn Jiang Chen not to continue actions that defy heaven.

It was only because Jiang Chen was extremely important to the Heavenly Dao that the Zixiao Thunderbolt did not strike him, instead blasting into void.

...

......

"This is the might of heaven!"

"What exactly has happened at the Sun Temple that it incited the wrath of the Heavenly Dao?"

Within the Lingxiao Divine Palace, feeling the sudden spread of this heavenly might, the Jade Emperor’s eyes shone with divine light as he looked towards the Sun Star.

At the same time, the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Conforming Ear also acted together, each using their Divine Ability to find out what exactly had occurred within the Sun Temple.

"Ah~~~"

However, the next moment, the Thousand-Mile Eye suddenly covered his eyes, and the Wind-Conforming Ear also covered his ears, both crying out in agony.

The Sun Temple was the sacred land of the Jiang Family; how could it be spied upon by mere gods listed on the Investiture of the Gods? Let alone them, even the Jade Emperor could not see clearly what was happening inside the Sun Temple.

With the assembly of Jiang Family’s experts and the arrangements left by the Flame Emperor, even though the Jade Emperor’s cultivation was infinitely close to that of a Saint, he could not discern everything that was happening inside the Sun Temple without alerting anyone.

Of course, if the Jade Emperor insisted on looking, he would be able to see the details within. But doing so wasn’t worth it, as it would offend the Jiang Family, leading to great troubles.

"Could the northern campaign against the Demon Clan cause such a commotion?"

The Jade Emperor frowned, although he could not probe the situation inside, he could roughly guess that the commotion had something to do with the northern campaign against the Demon Clan. But that alone should not have angered the Heavenly Dao!

While the Jade Emperor was still in doubt, a boundless radiance suddenly burst forth from the Sun Star, incredibly dazzling, carrying destructive waves that swept in all directions.

In an instant, no one could escape its power, including the Jade Emperor himself, and the eyes of all who were startled by this celestial might and looked toward the Sun Star were burnt into nothingness.

It was Jiang Chen who sensed that someone was spying on this location and thus, he mobilized the Original Power of the Sun Star to expel all prying gazes.

As an Innate Saint born from the Sun God, the power Jiang Chen could unleash on the Sun Star amounted to that of a Great Divine Transcendent, incredibly formidable.

...

"Hmph!"

Jiang Chen glanced up at the sky and, although dissatisfied in his heart, refrained from saying anything more extreme. He might not fear the Heavenly Dao, but he had to admit that he was far from being its match for now.

The Heavenly Dao could crush him as easily as an ant if it wished. His only reprieve was due to his destiny, which protected him from an easy fall, and that’s why the Heavenly Dao had been so patient with him.

Anyone else would have been obliterated long ago.

"Elders, I am not discussing this matter today to seek your advice, but rather to ask you whether you are willing to support me in contending for the position of Human King."

"If the elders are willing, I would naturally be delighted; but if you are not, it matters not, I alone can unite the Human Race and achieve supreme dominance," Jiang Chen said after scanning the crowd.

He was determined to follow the path to becoming the Human King. With the support of all, his actions would undoubtedly be much more convenient, allowing him to gather tremendous momentum in an instant.

Without their support, his path would not be severed, just considerably more troublesome.

"Alas, if the Emperor Lord has made up his mind, then we shall no longer advise otherwise. We wish to offer our strength to you, to unite the Human Race, achieve greatness, and restore our race’s glory," said the crowd, understanding that Jiang Chen had made up his mind, and some even directly expressed their willingness to lend him their strength.

Some of the experts from the Jiang Family, however, showed hesitation, as if they had encountered difficulties making up their minds.

Jiang Chen did not ask any questions; he simply watched them, silently waiting for them to decide. These hesitant experts from the Jiang Family were all Innate Dao Sovereigns with one thing in common—they had rushed back from the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

"Emperor Lord, it’s not that we are unwilling to help you, it’s that we cannot easily take action. We were all subject to divine retribution after the Battle Against Heaven, and were not to intervene in the affairs of Heaven and Earth lightly, prompting us to travel far from the Three Realms to the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds," said the most powerful among these Innate Dao Sovereigns, revealing the reason for their hesitation.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately understood the situation; these experts must be the main combatants of the Human Race who suffered persecution by the Mystic Sect due to the Battle Against Heaven. They were not supposed to take action unless the Human Race faced dire circumstances.

They had hurried back to the Three Realms today because Jiang Chen suddenly rang the Flame Emperor Bell, thinking that something significant had befallen the Human Race.

After arriving here, they realized that there indeed was a major event concerning the Human Race, but contrary to their expectations, it wasn’t that the race had reached a moment of crisis. Instead, someone was about to claim the Human King title.

For the Human Race, this was indeed a significant event. Someone was going to be the emperor—how could that not be a major concern? It was related to the rise and fall of an entire race.

"Well, elders, your support is sufficient; no need to take action. I will settle everything myself. However, there should be no restrictions on you taking action against the Demon Clan, right?" Jiang Chen nodded, indicating his understanding while also bringing up the matter of subduing the Demon Clan, seeking confirmation from the people.

Although he was confident, he did not believe he could single-handedly take on the entire Demon Clan. The subjugation of the Demon Clan naturally required the support of these experts.

"Of course, the Human Race and the Demon Clan are mortal enemies. As members of the Human Race, we are not subject to any restrictions when acting against them."

"What, the Emperor Lord plans to take action against the Demon Clan?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s question, the crowd first responded affirmatively, and then couldn’t help but ask about his intentions, driven by curiosity.

This didn’t align with the rumors claiming he wanted to test the Demon Clan. Now, listening to the tone of his question, it seemed as though he intended to launch an attack on the Demon Clan.
