Chapter 896: 683 - One Hundred and Eight Taoist Masters Attack the Demon Clan (Part 2)

"Emperor Lord, don’t bother threatening me—it’s useless. The demon clan fears nothing and no one’s threats. If worse comes to worst, we die—what is there for the demon clan to fear?"

"When our Heavenly Emperor and the royal beings return, they will surely wield great divine abilities to resurrect us from death, bringing us back to the world of the living. I only wonder then, how the human race shall cope?"

Facing Jiang Chen’s threat, Bai Ze was not at all scared, even going as far as to threaten back without changing his tone.

"Ha?"

"Bai Ze, are you threatening me with Di Jun Taiyi?"

Jiang Chen’s face showed surprise as he asked Bai Ze in an odd tone.

"I have no intention of threatening you, my friend. I’m simply giving you a heads-up. Our Heavenly Emperor and royalties are Great Luo Golden Immortals of Primordial Chaos, beings of undying existence. Even if heaven and earth were to be destroyed, they would still exist, unharmed and ready to be reborn from chaos."

"Although the two majesties have met with an accident, they will inevitably return someday. Protected by them, our demon clan is sure to endure. Should you wish to annihilate our demon clan, you had best consider whether you can withstand the wrath of our two majesties."

While Bai Ze claimed not to be threatening, his words inside and out were a threat to Jiang Chen—warning him not to act rashly and bring disaster upon the human race.

After Bai Ze finished speaking, before Jiang Chen could respond, the expressions of many of the human race’s strong beings behind him had changed, showing signs of apprehension.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree—Di Jun Taiyi’s reputation has shaken the Prehistoric World for countless years, and not only is the demon clan worshiping them as gods, even other races, including the human race, are extremely fearful of them.

The strength of the Heavenly Emperor Donghuang is profound, and even under the suppression of the Saints, it remains deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

The primary reason that the human race has not completely eradicated the demon clan to this day is the fear of Di Jun Taiyi, who have long since fallen. It’s not only the human race that behaves this way, but other races with grudges against the demon clan too; they dare not wipe out the demon clan completely.

Just as Bai Ze stated, with the protection of Di Jun and Taiyi, even if their clan has declined, they can continue to exist in the world.

"Hmph, Di Jun Taiyi are indeed powerful, having reached the utmost pinnacle of heaven and earth. But so what if they are? They have already fallen. Trying to frighten me with the dead is pointless; it won’t shake me in the slightest."

"On the contrary, such actions only reveal to me the true weakness of the demon clan. Only by relying on the protection of those fallen can you live in peace and stand firm Between Heaven and Earth. The demon clan really is regressing, nowhere near the presence they had in the Ancient Era."

Jiang Chen was not the least bit afraid, completely unaffected by Bai Ze’s threats, and even spoke derisively of the demon clan, accusing them of having lost their spirit and no longer holding the dignity of the Ancient demon clan.

"Everyone says the demon clan has declined, and at first, I didn’t quite believe it. But now, after interacting with you, I believe it’s true. The demon clan really has fallen. All the true warriors of the demon clan died in that battle between the Witch Clan and the Ancient demon clan in the Ancient Era."

"The demon clan that survived has had their spines broken, they’re nothing but a bunch of homeless dogs."

"Spineless dogs, that’s what you are. By living in wretched survival to this day, how do you do justice to the demon clan that died?"

"If I were you, I would no longer have the face to live in this world. Instead, I would head to the Netherworld to join the Witch Clan warriors on their journey."

Strike the heart before killing, Jiang Chen at this moment, poured out all his sarcasm and mockery, furiously provoking Bai Ze and the rest of the demon clan, aiming to incite their anger. It would be even better if he managed to infuriate some to death.

As Jiang Chen’s voice fell, Bai Ze’s expression did not change, but the other demon gods below gradually lost control of their rage, their faces filled with anger as they glared at Jiang Chen.

Ancient witch doctors and Ancient demon gods were all hot-tempered beings who couldn’t stand provocation. If not for this, the two clans would not have been in constant warfare, leading to their mutual destruction.

Now that Jiang Chen had openly insulted them, the demon gods below were only angry rather than attacking directly, showing that they had greatly reined in their temper compared to the past.

"Alas, who would have thought that the demon clan has fallen to such a state? Subjected to such humiliation and yet no one steps up to challenge me. Where is the blood and spirit of the Ancient demon clan? Has it truly been lost?"

Jiang Chen unleashed his taunting skills—every sentence was a mockery of the demon clan. And finally, below, someone could not withstand it any longer. Suddenly, a nine-headed bird burst forth and lunged at Jiang Chen, shouting:

"You there, human, stop your presumptuousness! Let me face you in battle!"

This was one of the ten great demon gods, Gui Che, a mutated nine-headed phoenix, whose power was extremely close to that of a Quasi-Saint. Under Jiang Chen’s taunts, he finally could not bear it any longer and decided to duel with Jiang Chen.

"Gui Che, one of the ten great demon gods of the Ancient Era and also one of the strongest Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Prehistoric World, within our Human Race, it is estimated that only those ancient seniors could exchange blows with him at the Daoist Venerable Realm,"

"Those ancient seniors have all been baptized by Mount Buzhou, and only then did they step into the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign. Each one of them is terrifyingly powerful; in terms of combat power, they are on par with the Demon Clan’s ten great demon gods and the Witch Clan’s Innate Great Witches."

Seeing Gui Che appear, the experts of the Human Race secretly communicated with each other.

According to strength, the Demon Clan divided its demon gods into three ranks: the ten great demon gods, the Cycle demon gods, and the ordinary demon gods. The Human Race did the same, dividing the Innate Dao Sovereigns into the Ancient Dao Sovereigns, the Remote Ancient Dao Sovereigns, and the ordinary Dao Sovereigns.

The Ancient Dao Sovereigns referred not to those who became Dao Sovereigns in the Ancient Era but to those who successfully ascended Mount Buzhou.

In the Ancient Era, all who cultivated the Ancient Martial Arts of the Human Race knew that by reaching the summit of Mount Buzhou, one could become an Innate Dao Sovereign.

This was the highest achievement of the Ancient Martial Arts. Those Ancient Martial Artists capable of accomplishing this were few and far between, yet each of them was unspeakably powerful, rivaling the Demon Clan’s ten great demon gods.

The Remote Ancient Dao Sovereigns referred to the Human Race powerhouses who became Dao Sovereigns through cultivating Ancient Martial Arts. These Dao Sovereigns correspond to the Demon Clan’s Cycle demon gods. Ordinary Dao Sovereigns were those who became Innate Dao Sovereigns through the Martial Dao or the Immortal Dao and corresponded to the ordinary demon gods.

Jiang Chen verified his Dao through the Ancient Martial Arts, yet had not ascended Mount Buzhou, so he should be considered a Remote Ancient Dao Sovereign. However, his power was extremely terrifying, comparable to a Quasi-Saint, which really shattered everyone’s understanding. Throughout history, there have been only two or three people who managed to do this.

"Gui Che, step back!"

Just as everyone thought a great battle was about to erupt, Bai Ze softly spoke and dismissed Gui Che.

Though unwilling, Gui Che did not resist Bai Ze’s command and retreated with a face full of anger.

"Fellow Daoist, I think you do not know the terror of our clan’s Emperor Lord Donghuang. You are young, and it is normal not to know, but the seniors of the Human Race should be aware. You might as well go back and inquire about them from others..." Bai Ze spoke, continuing to use Di Jun Taiyi as a factor to make Jiang Chen think carefully.

"No need to ask, I understand Di Jun Taiyi better than anyone present here, well aware of their terror and strength. But what of it? If I let the Demon Clan go today, would they spare the Human Race in the future?"

"Clearly not. Since that is so, it is better for me to strike first and annihilate the Demon Clan, what’s wrong with that?"

Carrying the heritage of Rahula, how could Jiang Chen not know about the might of Di Jun Taiyi? But he did not care, and moreover, Bai Ze’s actions also made him sense something unusual, making him decide not to waste words with him anymore and to take action directly.

"Esteemed seniors, since the Demon Clan is not cooperating, then we should take some time to help them ’save face’."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen made the first move, stepping forward and pressing towards Bai Ze.

"The Emperor Lord is correct; regardless, Di Jun and Taiyi will not let the Human Race go. Since a battle is inevitable sooner or later, it is better for our Human Race to make the first move and weaken the enemy’s strength; there’s nothing wrong with that."

With those words, Jiang Chen dispelled the fears of Di Jun Taiyi in everyone’s hearts. Indeed, Di Jun Taiyi would make their move against them sooner or later; regardless of whether they killed the Demon Clan or not, the result would be the same. Given that, why should they hesitate?

First, kill to their heart’s content!

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any demands, please state them. My Demon Clan really doesn’t wish to start a war with the Human Race. It’s not that we fear the Human Race, but we do not want both sides to suffer."

"However, if the Human Race continues to press us like this, my Demon Clan is not afraid to engage in a battle."

Bai Ze spoke again, his tone a few degrees softer, still reluctant to start a war with the Human Race.

"Bai Ze’s attitude is strange; is this a deliberate act to induce us to overthink, to dare not make rash moves? Or is there some problem within the Demon Clan?"

Jiang Chen pondered. He felt that Bai Ze’s attitude was off, but at this stage, an arrow was on the bowstring and he had to shoot. Regardless of Bai Ze’s purpose, he had set his mind on fighting the Demon Clan today.

"How can we be absent from subduing the Demon Clan?"

Just then, from the void, two powerful auras erupted. From the left and the right, a total of thirty-six god and demon-like figures appeared simultaneously in the Beijulu Continent.
