Chapter 902: 686 Donghuang Taiyi

Dang~~

A golden Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell materialized outside Bai Ze’s body, radiating the majesty like that of the Heavenly Dao, annihilating all attacks.

Donghuang’s Divine Ability, the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell!

"Now the Demon Clan is in imminent peril; I, Bai Ze, am powerless and can only profane Your Majesty’s sacred blood to save the Demon Clan. I implore Your Majesty to forgive my transgression!"

At some point, Bai Ze’s hand held a golden light orb the size of a fist, but it was incredibly dazzling, resembling the Great Sun with a Golden Crow flapping its wings inside.

"The essence blood of Donghuang Taiyi!"

The moment he saw this object, Jiang Chen recognized its origin and immediately made a move, trying to snatch it away.

Dang dang dang...

The Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell vibrated intensely, its indestructible power sweeping across, freezing time and space, preventing all forces from approaching Bai Ze by even an inch.

The attack of an Innate Saint came thundering down but was blocked by the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell, failing to make an impact.

The next moment, the Innate Saint, in a rage, wielded the Heavenly Star Banner, unleashing thousands of attacks in an instant, causing the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell to ring violently and shatter with a loud boom.

However, although the Heavenly Immortal Indestructible Bell was broken, it ultimately hindered Jiang Chen for an instant. In that split second, Bai Ze had enough time to swallow the drop of Donghuang Taiyi’s essence blood.

Boom!

As the essence blood of Taiyi entered his stomach, Bai Ze’s body suddenly burst with radiant brilliance, as if he had transformed into the Sun, illuminating the ten directions of the world.

A terrifying aura rose and spread from Bai Ze’s body, causing the laws and rules of Heaven and Earth to twist, undergoing unknown changes.

Then, under Jiang Chen’s astonished gaze, Bai Ze began to transform, from a middle-aged scholar in white to a young emperor in golden robes.

"Donghuang Taiyi!"

Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted as he identified the young emperor’s origin—it was the preeminent figure of the Ancient Era, Donghuang Taiyi.

Di Jun Taiyi and many other Great Divine Transcendents, although they lived for endless eons, still retained the appearance of being seventeen or eighteen years old, full of astonishing vigor.

There was a significance to this; youth represented boundless possibilities.

"Has the Demon Clan really come to this pass?"

Donghuang spoke, his voice young but laden with a weighty majesty, as if carrying the authority of Heaven itself.

Indeed, it was the authority of Heaven, for Donghuang himself was Heaven—the Great Ancient Heavenly Emperor!

"A wisp of Divine Thought?"

At that moment, Jiang Chen also discerned the state of Donghuang Taiyi. He was not resurrected but rather, Bai Ze had used that drop of essence blood as a sacrifice, with his own body as a vessel, forcibly awakened a sliver of Taiyi’s will, allowing it to descend upon himself.

Furthermore, should Donghuang Taiyi have truly been resurrected, it would have been a monumental event, and the Seven Saints would have already descended, joining forces to kill him, not allowing him to speak here.

"Alas, the Human Race annihilates the Demon Clan."

"Who would have thought that in the end, replacing the Witch and Demon Clans to become the protagonist of Heaven and Earth would indeed be the Human Race? My elder brother’s foresight was not wrong."

A sweep of Donghuang Taiyi’s Divine Thought allowed him to understand the current situation, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

In the past, Di Jun suddenly made a move against the Human Race, not only to forge the Witch Slaying Sword but also because he had glimpsed a fragment of the future. In that future, the Human Race became the dominant force of Heaven and Earth, ruling over all, with no space left for the Demon Clan to exist.

Anxious over the Human Race becoming a significant trouble for the Demon Clan, Di Jun made up his mind, disregarding Empress Nuwa’s threat, and resolutely attacked the Human Race.

"The Demon Clan annihilated the Human Race in the Ancient Era; today, the Human Race annihilates the Demon Clan. It is indeed karma and the cycle of causality—retribution is inevitable."

Jiang Chen spoke, utterly unafraid of Donghuang Taiyi.

If Donghuang Taiyi were still alive, he would have turned and left, never entertaining the thought of confronting Taiyi. But Taiyi had not been resurrected, only a wisp of will remained, and with this, why should Jiang Chen fear him?

How much power could a wisp of will exert from its peak period? If he couldn’t defeat the living, could he not defeat one who had already perished?

"Is it you, this member of the Human Race?"

"I have seen you before. Years ago, you and a monkey peered into the River of Time and Space, perusing the Ancient Heavenly Court. I discovered you."

"At that time, seeing that you carried the inheritance of Fuxi and that monkey bore a hint of Empress Nuwa’s essence, I thought both of you were their disciples, and so I didn’t bother with you."

"But I didn’t expect you to become a trouble for my Demon Clan. If I had known this would be the case, I should have eliminated you that day."

The moment he saw Jiang Chen’s face clearly, Donghuang Taiyi recalled an incident from his past in the River of Time and Space, when he could have easily erased Jiang Chen, even across boundless time and space, had he wished to do so.

But now, indeed, he could not. The opportunity was there just once, and missing it meant it was gone forever.

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi speak of it, Jiang Chen also recalled this incident. Back when he was younger, he put on a show in front of Sun Wukong, partly to pump up his own ego and also to educate him on the history of the Prehistoric World. He narrated some old stories of the Ancient Era to the monkey.

As he got caught up in the moment, Jiang Chen even projected images of the Ancient Heavenly Court recorded in the Fuxi inheritance. Then, they were discovered by Donghuang Taiyi.

Jiang Chen had thought that Donghuang Taiyi would have long forgotten such a trivial matter, but to his surprise, he had kept it in mind.

"Fuxi, my friend, in the end, you have left the Demon Clan."

As he spoke these words, there was resignation, guilt, and liberation on Taiyi’s face.

The fact that Jiang Chen carried the Fuxi inheritance might be concealed from others, but not from Donghuang Taiyi.
