Chapter 216: Chapter 206 [Deposing the Demon Ancestor, Honoring One’s Own Path] (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

"Interesting!"

War Demon burst into laughter: "I have roamed the Demon Realm for so many years, yet this is the first time I’ve heard someone wanting to depose the name of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!"

"Ha ha ha!"

Blood Demon Daoist, who enjoyed watching the chaos unfold, immediately spoke up: "This Daoist speaks sense. Luo Hou has been suppressed by Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, what qualification does he have to continue controlling the fortune of the Demon Realm and hold the title of Demon Ancestor? In my view, both Demon Daoist Chen and Primordial Heavenly Demon Daoist are worthy of being Demon Ancestors!"

Many from the Demon Clan immediately stirred into discussions; some frowned tightly, some watched with cold eyes, and many others harbored covetous thoughts about the position of the Demon Ancestor!

The path of demons respects the law of the survival of the fittest, without the mindset of revering the teacher and valuing the Dao. Even beings like Chen Demon have thoughts of replacing Luo Hou.

Demon Ancestor!

The originator of a path!

If one could replace him, not to mention achieving sainthood, but with the added support of the entire fortune of Demon Path, the chances of cultivating the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit would significantly increase, possibly even overtaking the prevailing "Great Dao prolongs Demon, Dao weakens."

Boom!

Just as everyone was discussing, above the sky of the Demon Realm, a world-ending Demonic Eye converged, and a tremendous "Destruction Divine Thunder" suddenly struck towards Xuanqing.

Simultaneously, Luo Hou’s roar was heard: "Little brats, truly rebellious! I kindly offered you a chance to comprehend the Demon Path, and you ungrateful wolves want to stab me in the back!"

The terrifying demonic might instantly surged through the cosmos, but Xuanqing, targeted by Luo Hou, showed no fear: "Luo Hou Daoist, it’s time for you to abdicate!"

Having said that, he directly evolved a vortex of demonic qi, devouring the endless "Destruction Divine Thunder," then provocatively gazed deep into the origin of the Demon Realm.

Now that Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit was sealed by Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, his influence over the Demon Realm may be limited to just this extent.

Therefore, Xuanqing boldly challenged the Demon Realm Great Dao: "Luo Hou Daoist, today you can’t even handle me; for the future of the Demon Path, you should give up your position as the Demon Ancestor!"

Boom!

Thunder relentlessly fell but was swallowed one by one by the demonic qi vortex evolved by Xuanqing.

Some ambitious Great Divine Ability holders of the Demon Realm immediately conceived a bold thought: "Luo Hou, now unable to resolve even a single Daluo Golden Immortal, might be facing a perfect opportunity for replacement!"

Primordial Heavenly Demon’s eyes also flashed with brilliance; his true form, wanting to replace the Heavenly Heart with his own, to substitute the Heavenly Dao with his Dao, didn’t have this opportunity in Primordial times, but inside the Demon Realm now with Luo Hou suppressed by the Daoist Ancestor, he just might be able to steal the mantle of Demon Ancestor!

Mother of the Unborn immediately revealed a moved expression: "The power of Luo Hou seems to have waned much compared to several cosmic cycles ago? Back then, he could still manipulate the Demon Tribulation to annihilate the Creation Heavenly Demon! But now, as demons fight among themselves, the power he can use is decreasing!"

She soon understood the reason—when Dao wanes the Demon rises, and when Demon wanes the Dao rises. In today’s Primordial, with the power of the Xuan Sect and three teachings at their peak and the power of Immortal Dao increasing, the power of Demon Path is naturally in decline!

These years, Luo Hou has been trying various means to attract cultivators of Primordial to enter the Demon Realm, likely to boost the fortune of the Demon Path.

However, there are still those in the Demon Realm who are truly loyal to Luo Hou.

Like Dark Demon!

A great divine power’s suppression instantly swept towards Xuanqing: "A mere Daluo Golden Immortal dares to covet the title of Demon Ancestor?"

Xuanqing, not in the least bit intimidated, chuckled: "I merely do not wish to see fellow Daoists clash here, and then unwittingly make wedding clothes for Luo Hou!"

"In Primordial, even the position of Heavenly Emperor rotates, then why should the title of Demon Ancestor be perpetually occupied by Luo Hou?"

"I observe among the present Daoists, there are not a few who possess the qualities of a Demon Ancestor. Why not dethrone Luo Hou and claim the title for oneself?"

Upon hearing this, Wusheng Old Mother immediately agreed, saying: "What Daoist Huiyue said makes sense. I see Primordial Heavenly Demon as a fitting candidate for the lineage of Heavenly Demon, and Blood Demon is truly worthy of the title of Blood Demon Ancestor! If so, why should we let Luo Hou usurp the name of Demon Ancestor?"

War Demon couldn’t help but laugh aloud: "Well said, I shall become the War Demon Ancestor!"

Among the twelve major Demon Veins in the Demon Realm, all except the Blood Demon lineage were established by Luo Hou. Heavenly Demon and the others are merely outstanding among them!

However, if Luo Hou were to die or lose the recognition of the Demon Clan, resulting in his downfall from his position, it’s not impossible for them to become the Demon Ancestor of a particular lineage!

For a moment, hearts were perturbed, and all the great powers in the Demon Realm kept their eyes on the nose, and the nose on the heart, seemingly considering the feasibility of this idea.

"Depose the Demon Ancestor, honor one’s own path!"

A cultivator who didn’t shy away from excitement suddenly shouted such a phrase, instantly directing the spearhead of the Grand Demon Conference at Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

Seeing this, Xuanqing immediately walked to the center of the Myriad Demon Hall and said to the crowd of demons: "How about this, those who want to depose Luo Hou’s title as Demon Ancestor, stand to my left; those who oppose, to my right. How does that sound?"

"Hahaha, I agree!"

Blood Demon Daoist laughed loudly and stood directly to Xuanqing’s left. Since someone had taken the lead, he naturally didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire.

Following him were Heavenly Demon, Primordial Heavenly Demon, Supreme Demon Lord, Demon Lord Tongtian, Demon Buddha Bhusunda, these famous great powers in the Demon Realm.

Wusheng Old Mother quickly followed suit.

Many native great powers of the Demon Realm looked at each other. War Demon also stood to Xuanqing’s left, and soon Jie Demon also made his stance clear.

Kui Gang was among them.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowds, Earth Demon also stood on Xuanqing’s left.

"Earth Demon, you..."

Dark Demon was somewhat incredulous.

If Heavenly Demon was previously the strongest under Luo Hou’s command, Earth Demon was the second strongest and had always been a staunch supporter of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

A firm light flashed in Earth Demon’s eyes: "Dark Demon, times have changed! A doctrine is established with time, and reason emerges from heaven. It’s no longer Luo Hou’s era!"

After Earth Demon, Bright Demon also chose sides, appearing directly on Xuanqing’s left.

Heavenly Demon, Earth Demon, War Demon, Jie Demon, Bright Demon—half of Luo Hou’s top ten experts, at this moment, chose to betray Luo Hou!

At this moment, the scales were continuously tipping. With Earth Demon and Bright Demon’s last-minute defection, the powers supporting the deposition of Luo Hou’s title as Demon Ancestor now outnumbered those wishing to retain it.

Seeing this scene, those of the Golden Immortal Realm in the Demon Clan also made their choices, and in a blink, half of the Demon Clan had shifted positions.

Boom!

The Demon Realm Great Dao trembled, the fortune of the Demon Path shifted, and as most supported the deposition of Luo Hou’s name, the grand momentum of the Demon Realm underwent a transformation.
