Chapter 654 - 654 673 Return to the Demon Court

654: Chapter 673: Return to the Demon Court 654: Chapter 673: Return to the Demon Court Da Yi’s roar reverberated throughout the entire Witch Clan Heaven and Earth, as he looked around at the people of the Witch Clan with a trace of extreme disappointment in his eyes.

“What happened?

What on earth has become of you?”

“In this Heaven and Earth, among the Three Realms, when has my Witch Clan lineage ever feared any person or Daoist tradition?

Could it be that after the Great Witch Demon Catastrophe, our Witch Clan has recuperated to such an extent that you have lost the spirit of progress, degenerating to the point of cowering within the Ancestral Land, with not a trace of hot blood left in you?” Da Yi thundered in anger, causing the Witch Clan people to bow their heads in shame.

“Yi!”

Kua Fu clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed with extreme shame, while his blood boiled and flowed within him.

“I must see what abilities Ye Xuan possesses, to dare to disregard our Witch Clan lineage.

If he truly has the ability to reestablish the Ancient Demon Court, then let it be known that our Witch Clan will accompany him to the end in a second Great Witch Demon War.”

Boom, boom, boom!

The Heaven and Earth exploded with sound, the void shattered, Da Yi stepped forward, his terrifying physical body destroying the Witch Clan Heaven and Earth as he shot directly towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, leaving Kua Fu and the others in silent shame.

“Big Brother Kua Fu, has Da Yi gone mad?” The Sword Demon’s face was pale, as he growled at Kua Fu with a trembling voice.

“He hasn’t gone mad, he is still Da Yi.

You will never understand what we Great Witches from the Primordial Period endured during the Great Witch Demon Catastrophe; our Witch Blood spilled across Changtian as we watched our closest brothers perish in the great disaster.

The only thing that stayed by our side was the undying spirit of the Witch Clan.”

“Da Yi is right, whether he is acting for personal reasons or drawing our Witch Clan into the strife of the Three Realms.

When has our Witch Clan ever feared any person or any Daoist tradition?”

“It’s time to awaken the battle blood within our Witch Clan.

Let’s start with the Heavenly Court, and let the Three Realms know that our Witch Clan is finally emerging.” Kua Fu’s booming voice echoed throughout the Witch Clan Heaven and Earth.

…

This was a desolate ancient site, silent, ruined, withering—everywhere one looked was an endless expanse of ruins!

Carved dragons and phoenixes on jade pillars were visible everywhere, but these splendid pillars were extremely broken, a bronze Heavenly Gate lay shattered and collapsed amidst the ruins, and the bones of the Demon Race were scattered about, still shining brightly despite the endless flow of Time, testifying to their immense cultivation while alive.

This was an endless ruin with no visible boundaries, also an extremely ancient site, and if a figure from the Primordial Times were here, they would be astonished to realize that this was none other than the Ancient Heavenly Court.

The Ancient Heavenly Court was also known as the Ancient Demon Court.

The Ancient Demon Court had two Great Emperors, Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun, who reigned over countless demons and were one of the leading forces in Heaven and Earth during that distant Primordial Era.

But in the last battle of the Great Witch Demon Catastrophe, the Ancient Demon Court was destroyed, countless demons perished between Heaven and Earth, and the two Heavenly Emperors vanished along with the Ancestor Witch in that last battle.

Some say Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun died within the Ancient Demon Court; others say that the two Great Emperors created a small world to heal and recuperate with the remnants of their race, to reappear in the Three Realms in the future and restore the might of the Ancient Demon Court once again.

Regardless of the legends, ever since the Great Witch Demon Catastrophe, the Ancient Demon Court was obliterated, and the two Heavenly Emperors ceased to be seen in the Three Realms; stories of the Ancient Demon Court gradually faded into history.

Thump—thump—thump.

Suddenly, eighty-one bell tolls resounded throughout the ruins, and a glint of gold emerged amidst the rubble.

Initially, the golden light was dim and unclear, but as the urgent bell tolls continued to sound, the glint of gold grew increasingly brilliant.

Boom, boom, boom!

Abruptly, the golden light exploded, the Heavenly Gate appeared, and a towering Heavenly Gate opened above the ruins.

Brilliant demon lights burst forth from the gate, and the sound of numerous demons howling echoed from within.

“The great Dao consists of fifty; the sky evolves forty-nine.

All things are undying; the Demon Race is immortal!”

As if the Nine Heavens River were in tumult, and as if countless stars were falling, the unwilling roars could be heard emerging from the Heavenly Gate, causing the ruined remains of the Ancient Demon Court to tremble violently.

“Open!”

Vast and immense, the heavenly majesty enveloped all, and a hoarse voice emanated from within the Heavenly Gate.

The gate itself rumbled open, and a Chaos Ancient Bell emerged from within, upon which two towering figures stood imposingly above.

It was as if the Chaos Star Sea were churning, and as if the River of Time were in flux; these two magnificent figures seemed to traverse from a void, emerging into the ruins of the Ancient Demon Court from some enigmatic, unknown space.

Roar!

The demon horde bellowed, their demonic light obscuring the sky.

The Heavenly Gate swelled even further, expanding to a million zhang in size, and countless demons emerged from within it.

Demons howled into the heavens, and a myriad of demons roared furiously, their demonic light so overwhelming it covered the sky and the earth while their fierce eyes flickered with an indescribable excitement.

“We have returned, we have returned once again.”

“Kill, exterminate the Witch Clan’s lineage, and restore the might of the Ancient Demon Court.”

“Heavenly Suppressing Earth, sorcery reaching to the heavens.”

The demons roared, the heaven and earth thundered; such a terrifying spectacle was almost unbearable to witness, striking a fear so deep it felt as if it reached the soul.

“Heavenly Emperor!”

Suddenly, a ten-thousand-zhang Demon Dragon transformed into a human figure, becoming an exquisitely beautiful woman who now knelt in reverence before the two enigmatic figures.

“Seas have changed into mulberry fields, and time is like a song.

Over these endless ages, Emperor Jun and I have finally returned, no longer waiting in expectation but bringing you all back from the Demon Race’s ancestral land.”

Donghuang Taiyi, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, was a cultivator whose prowess was unimaginable.

When his eyes opened and closed, it was as if whole worlds were crumbling into ruination beneath his gaze.

He stood upon the Donghuang Bell, calmly speaking.

“Open the Demon Court!”

Emperor Jun, clad in the Heavenly Emperor’s Battle Robe, his golden hair cascading down his back, smiled gently.

As his hand swept through the universe, the entire ruins of the Ancient Demon Court underwent a dreadful transformation.

Boom!

The dilapidated bronze Heavenly Gate rose from the ground, and the jade pillars decorated with engraved dragons and phoenixes rapidly restored themselves.

The fragments and broken tiles scattered among the ruins took to the air, and as mysterious demonic light shrouded the entire Ancient Demon Court, the realm suddenly took on an ethereal quality.

“The Donghuang Bell returns to its place!”

Donghuang Taiyi bellowed commandingly, unleashing a supreme Demon Technique.

The Donghuang Bell beneath him suddenly returned to its normal size and with a might that could sweep away mountains and rivers, it sank into the Ancient Demon Court.

Hum!

The world seemed to pause, and ripples passed through the void.

As the world-consuming demon light faded away, the previously decrepit Ancient Demon Court was no longer there.

In its stead stood the towering, all-encompassing Ancient Demon Court.

Four Heavenly Jade Pillars, one bronze Heavenly Gate, demonic light and drifting clouds moved swiftly, Jade Towers glowed brilliantly, and the sound of chanting could be heard from the heavens as majestic palaces rose from the ground, spontaneously reconstructing the original appearance of the Ancient Demon Court.

Had any Immortals familiar with the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven been present, they would have been astonished to find that this Ancient Demon Court bore an incredible resemblance to the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, right down to the Dou Niu Palace where the Heavenly Emperor resided, only the name was different.

But no, it wasn’t merely a similar design; the foundation of the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven was in fact modeled after the Ancient Demon Court of yesteryears.

For the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven was built by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother; this was indeed the reason why both great heavens bore such striking resemblances.
