Chapter 49: Chapter 49 [10 Days Patrol in the Sky, Tragedy of Ten Thousand Spirits]

Tang Valley.

In Xuanqing’s journey through the Primordial land, when he was contemplating the "Ghost Immortal Path," Xi He also quietly left the Tang Valley and went to the Heavenly Court where she and numerous members of the Demon Clan practiced the Celestial Stars Battle Formation. Meanwhile, without Xi He to watch over them, the ten little Golden Crows suddenly harbored thoughts of slipping out to see the outside world.

For some unknown reason, they had the same dream in a trance, dreaming of the world outside.

"Let’s go out and take a look!"

The eldest Golden Crow suggested.

The ten brothers, as princes of the Demon Clan and embodiments of the essence of the sun, possessed unparalleled talents. With Xi He’s guidance, they were now on the brink of becoming Daluo Golden Immortals.

Moreover, they had the "Ten Days Heavenly Patrol Formation," divined specifically for them by Emperor Jun, which was incredibly powerful and could draw in the power of the Taiyang Star to enhance themselves.

Taiyang Star, as the transformation of Pangu’s left eye, contained boundless power; even just drawing a portion of it could help them rival the peak existences of the Daluo realm.

This was also the source of the eldest Golden Crow’s confidence.

Upon hearing this, the other Golden Crows hesitated somewhat as Xi He, before leaving, had particularly instructed them to practice peacefully and wait for her return in the Tang Valley.

Seeing several brothers indecisive, the eldest Golden Crow frowned and said: "What’s there to fear! Mother won’t be back anytime soon, she won’t find out we went out!"

"Moreover, with the ’Ten Days Heavenly Patrol’ formation, we fear no one under Quasi-Saint level!"

Eventually, the desire for "freedom" overruled their common sense, and under the leadership of the eldest Golden Crow, the remaining nine Golden Crows quietly bypassed the restrictions left by Xi He and appeared on the Primordial Land outside of the Tang Valley.

After the ten Golden Crows left the Tang Valley, some mysterious force guided them towards Buzhou Mountain, and an inexplicable power concealed their fates.

Emperor Jun was completely unaware of this.

Over time, the Demon Clan had gained many more Daluo Golden Immortals, and working together with Fu Xi, they had significantly enhanced the might of the Celestial Stars Battle Formation.

With Emperor Jun and Xi He as the core, 365 Daluo Demon Gods as branches, and countless Taiyi Demon Kings and Golden Immortal members of the Demon Clan, they started practicing the Celestial Stars Battle Formation. Emperor Jun could clearly feel that the current formation was at least ten times more powerful than its initial prototype.

"With this formation, what do we have to fear from the Witch Clan?"

Emperor Jun couldn’t help but laugh loudly: "How effective is the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array of the Witch Clan, which can summon the Pangu Dharma Form? Our clan’s formation is not any less powerful!"

If he were to encounter the Twelve Ancestor Witches again, he was confident that he could suppress them directly using the formation’s power.

"Don’t be complacent!"

Fu Xi, however, was more lucid: "Over these years, we have been progressing, and so has the Witch Clan! I’ve heard that the Twelve Ancestor Witches have been in seclusion for over a hundred thousand years!"

Hearing this, Emperor Jun scoffed: "A bunch of brutes who don’t cultivate their Primordial Spirits and only rely on the legacy of Pangu, even if they secluded themselves for a million years, what insight can they gain? Emperor Xi, you worry too much!"

He never underestimated the Twelve Ancestor Witches, but in the presence of so many demons, he had to project an image that the Witch Clan was nothing to fret about!

"Demon Emperor is mighty!"

"Demon Emperor is mighty!"

...

Sure enough, upon hearing Emperor Jun’s words, except for a few enlightened ones like Fu Xi and Bai Ze, the other members of the Demon Clan were emotionally stirred, displaying an unbeatable demeanor of the Demon Clan, wishing they could immediately launch an attack on the Witch Clan.

"The morale is usable indeed!"

Seeing this, Emperor Jun nodded in satisfaction.

He then continued to lead the extensive Demon Clan to practice the formation up in Nine Layers Heaven.

Meanwhile, having grown tired of playing around in the Primordial World, the ten great Golden Crows, for some unknown reason, suddenly took a fancy to go to Buzhou Mountain to provoke the Witch Clan.

As princes of the Demon Clan, they had often heard about how detestable the Witch Clan was!

"This is not a good idea!"

The Six Golden Crow hesitated: "Since we left the valley, we have already gone against our mother’s will. If we provoke the Witch Clan at Buzhou Mountain and trigger a war between the two tribes, our mother might severely punish us! Moreover, those Twelve Ancestor Witches are powerful beings not inferior to our father and Uncle Taiyi. How can we possibly be their match?"

"Little brother, aren’t you being too timid?"

Upon hearing this, the Elder Golden Crow couldn’t help but sneer: "Mother had said that the Twelve Ancestor Witches have not revealed themselves in the Primordial World for tens of thousands of years! With the Ancestor Witches absent and the ’Tour of the Ten Suns formation’ in place, which of the Witch Clan can match us?"

In fact, the Elder Golden Crow had his own plans. They, the ten brothers, had lived in the valley for many years, and he wanted to do something earth-shattering!

If they gained "military exploits," Emperor Jun and Xi He, upon recognizing their strength, might allow them to participate in the wars between the Witch and Demon Clans.

He refused to be seen as a "child in swaddling clothes."

He longed for a wider world.

Quickly, at the Elder Golden Crow’s suggestion, the ten Golden Crows joined forces and swiftly annihilated a Witch Tribe.

Tasting success, the ten Golden Crows became increasingly unrestrained, relying on the "Taiyang Fire" to successively slaughter several Witch Tribes located at the frontier.

Eventually, the actions of the ten Golden Crows alarmed the Great Witch Kua Fu of the Houtu Tribe.

Holding a Peach Wood Staff and manifesting the "Great Witch True Body," he instantly traversed millions of miles and arrived in front of the ten Golden Crows, who were slaughtering a Witch Tribe.

"Damned bastards!"

Kua Fu, unable to contain his anger, gritted his teeth and said: "I will grind your bones to dust!"

The Witch Clan always had a xenophobic disposition, but they were remarkably united at the same time. Seeing so many from the Witch Clan slaughtered by the ten Golden Crows, how could Kua Fu remain indifferent?

The Peach Wood Staff struck, the space instantly shattered, and an unparalleled force spread across a million miles of the void, forcing the ten Golden Crows to avoid direct confrontation.

As princes of the Demon Clan, they indeed had life-saving skills. They immediately activated the "Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique" together and fled towards the west of the Primordial World.

This skill, inherent to the Golden Crow lineage, was known as the utmost speed in the world, allowing them, even at only the Golden Immortal Realm, to burst forth with a speed comparable to that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Brothers, let’s toy with him first!" Elder Golden Crow, excited, laughed heartily: "Later, we’ll use the ’Tour of the Ten Suns Formation’ to refine him to death!"

He was not afraid of Great Witch Kua Fu; indeed, he perceived that Kua Fu’s strength was roughly on par with the Daluo Demon Gods among their own race.

"Alright!"

The other Golden Crows were also eager to try.

They had sparred with Demon Gods of their own clan but, being of the same clan, had never used deadly force, nor had they ever fully activated the "Tour of the Ten Suns Formation."

The ten Golden Crows, while deploying their escape skill, simultaneously harnessed the power of the Taiyang Star. The scorching Taiyang Fire instantly transformed into a terrifying heatwave that swept across millions of miles.

At this moment, bolstered by the Taiyang Star, each of the ten Golden Crows possessed strength not inferior to a Daluo Golden Immortal, inflicting calamity on countless creatures in an instant.

"Tour of the Ten Suns!"

The guardian of the Human Clan’s Ancestral Land, "Sui Renshi," was the first to notice the abnormality. He promptly mobilized the power of the "Sui Ming Tree", absorbing the scattered Taiyang Fire and heatwaves.

The "Sui Ming Tree" instantly grew from ten thousand zhang to a million zhang in size, forming a huge umbrella that enveloped all the humans in the Human Clan’s Ancestral Land.

Meanwhile, Xuanqing, who was traveling across the Primordial during this turmoil, instantly learned of Kua Fu chasing the ten Golden Crows through his incarnation, "Sui Renshi."

"Great chaos is upon us!"

He chose not to intervene in this matter.

The ten Golden Crows fleeing the valley was already a very bizarre event, potentially involving a Saint’s sinister plot; he had enough troubles evading it!

"Wait a moment?"

Xuanqing suddenly had a startling realization: "The direction in which the ten Golden Crows fled... isn’t that near the Yellow River Water Mansion?"
