Chapter 655 - 655 674 Destruction of South Heavenly Gate

655: Chapter 674: Destruction of South Heavenly Gate 655: Chapter 674: Destruction of South Heavenly Gate “The Heavenly Emperor ascends to the throne!”

The Demons bowed in unison, their voices like a mountain cry and a tsunami, as two Heavenly Emperors sat side by side in the grand Demon Court.

Tens of thousands of Great Demons stood aside the hall, their dazzling Demon Light rippling through the entire Ancient Demon Court, signifying its true resurgence between Heaven and Earth.

At the center of the Demon Court, upon the Imperial Thrones!

The two great Heavenly Emperors nodded slightly, their Dharma Eyes seeming to penetrate the Heaven and Earth and the Three Realms, accompanied by the chanting of ancient demonic scripts, exuding a majesty that could reach the heavens and beyond, instilling a sense of awe at a single glance.

“Heaven and Earth were established, and all things were ignorant.

We, the Ancient Demons, were once the protagonists of Heaven and Earth.

After the Witch Demon Great War, our Demon Race had to withdraw from the stage dimly.

However, all things are indestructible, and our Demon Race is Undying.

Today, we shall return to the Three Realms to restore the glory of the Ancient Demons.”

Donghuang Taiyi spoke calmly and steadily; although his voice was serene, without any tremor of excitement, it quickened the breath of all the demons listening and caused their eyes to flicker with excitement.

“Countless ages have passed, and youth fades quickly.

Now the protagonists of Heaven and Earth are the Human Clan.

In this era, the Demon Race has been relegated to the role of Evil Demons.

I shall command the Three Realms to make all demons return to allegiance, to reignite the unsurpassed glory of the Ancient Demon Court,” Emperor Jun declared with authority.

The two great Heavenly Emperors, overwhelmingly resplendent; their every word and deed became a principle of Heaven and Earth.

With the fate of the Demon Race upon them, even Saints dared not ignore these two Heavenly Emperors, for they represented a whole race—the billions and billions of the Demon Race.

“The Heavenly Emperor!”

An elderly demon elder with white hair stepped forward; first, he bowed deeply towards the two great Heavenly Emperors, then spoke in a calm voice, “The Ancient Demon Court was once the Supreme power of the Three Realms.

However, after the Witch Demon Great War, the rules of Heaven and Earth were remade, and now there is what is known as This World’s Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

If the Ancient Demon Court is to take control of the Three Realms again, where shall This World’s Heavenly Court stand?”

“The legitimate Heavenly Court lineage stems from our Demon Race.

This World’s Heavenly Court was born out of the will of the Saints to stabilize the Three Realms.

This World’s Heavenly Court has only a nominal existence and lacks the ability to control the Three Realms,” another demon elder stated, as he too stepped forward.

Marquis of Wind and Rain were venerable ministers of the Ancient Demon Court; although they appeared aged, their Cultivation was extremely terrifying, and within the Ancient Demon Court, they possessed great influence.

At this moment, as both spoke up, all the demons in attendance turned their gaze to the two great Heavenly Emperors.

“There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two rulers over the people.

This Heaven and Earth can only have one Heavenly Court.

If the ruler of This World’s Heavenly Court can recognize the trend of the times, he should submit to the Ancient Demon Court,” Emperor Jun said calmly, as if stating something trivial and self-evident.

Clearly, in the hearts of the two Heavenly Emperors, only the Ancient Demon Court was legitimate, neither giving a second thought to This World’s Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court!

Two simple words, yet they carried an immensely heavy significance.

The Heavenly Court governed the Three Realms, with every command obliging allegiance from all beings; this was not just an idle saying.

If two Heavenly Courts were to appear in the world, to whose commands should the beings of the Three Realms act?

A single mountain cannot harbor two tigers—this simplest of truths would be understood even by mortals, how could the two Heavenly Emperors not comprehend it?

Moreover, even within the Ancient Demon Court itself, though the two great Heavenly Emperors appeared to be equals, the true Emperor was Donghuang Taiyi.

When the Ancient Demons faced a critical choice, even Emperor Jun would hearken to the commands of Donghuang Taiyi.

Yet the two were as close as brothers, which was a significant anomaly in the Ancient Heavenly Court.

It was also because of their joint rule of the Ancient Demon Court that the name of the Demon Race endured through the ages.

However, the two great Heavenly Emperors would never allow someone to sleep soundly beside their couch; this was not only to validate the name of the Ancient Demon Court but also to declare to all beings of the Three Realms that the Ancient Demon Court was the true sovereign of this Heaven and Earth.

Naturally, with their Cultivation reaching the heavens and their great confidence in regaining control over Heaven and Earth, as long as the Saints did not act, the Ancient Demon Court had no fear of the Daoist orthodoxy from all directions.

As the two Heavenly Emperors made their stance clear, the Ancient Demons showed no surprise; clearly, they had long anticipated this outcome—for in the Three Realms, there could only be one ruler, and this had never changed.

“Heavenly Emperor sees clearly,” the Marquis of Wind bowed deeply and said, “Now that the Ancient Demon Court has reappeared in the world, it is necessary to convene the Demon Gathering to unite the hearts of the Demon Race.”

“Reestablishing the Demon Court, summoning the demons from all directions is indeed urgent,” continued Donghuang Taiyi with a thundering voice.

“However, Emperor Jun and I must first visit Nuwa Palace, after all, Nuwa belongs to our Demon Race too.

Even though she is a Saint, she cannot ignore the affairs of our Demon Race.”

Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light when he mentioned Nuwa.

He exchanged a glance with Emperor Jun, and both saw the gravity reflected in each other’s eyes.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A Light Gate appeared as if it were only an arm’s length away, yet nobody saw the two Heavenly Emperors make any move—they simply waved their hands and tore through the space before them, heading toward the Nuwa Palace, beyond the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

“We respectfully send off the Heavenly Emperors!”

The Ancient Demons respectfully saw the two off.

The vast Daluo Demon Light shrouded the Ancient Demon Court, and when the two Heavenly Emperors would return from the Nuwa Palace, that would be the day the Ancient Demon Court truly manifested in the Three Realms.

…

The Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

Auspicious qi in thousands of strands, propitious clouds billowed, jade towers and splendid palaces stretched endlessly, and numerous Immortal Islands floated and sank in the sea of clouds.

The magnificent South Heavenly Gate shone brilliantly with golden light, while Heavenly Soldiers and Generals patrolled around, and the Heavenly Immortal Officials could be seen rallying their forces.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Heavenly Vault trembled, the clouds scattered, and the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven quaked violently.

The clear sky darkened suddenly, as a strand of Witch Light, tearing through the ages, overspread from the far reaches of the sky.

Shi!

Like the Nine Heavens Star Sea plummeting, akin to great stars sinking, a vast swath of light fell thunderously.

The South Heavenly Gate shattered to pieces.

As the thunderous rumbling echoed, the South Heavenly Gate crumbled inch by inch, collapsing into a pile of ruins.

“How dare you!”

An infuriated roar resounded, and the Naihe Evil Immortal’s Daluo Immortal Light exploded.

In an instant, he appeared before the South Heavenly Gate.

His usually gloomy eyes now turned blood red.

It was no wonder the Naihe Evil Immortal reacted this way; after all, it was his turn to patrol the Heavenly Palace today.

With the South Heavenly Gate shattered, how could he explain this to the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden?

At this moment, the Naihe Evil Immortal’s eyes were blood red, and the Daluo Demon Light around him boiled fiercely.

He looked ahead, determined to see which creature had the gall to commit such a brazen act.

Dong—Dong—Dong.

Like Divine Mountains collapsing, like great stars bursting, the extremely heavy footsteps resounded.

A towering figure advanced toward the Naihe Evil Immortal.

As the figure drew nearer, the Naihe Evil Immortal’s angry expression suddenly turned grave, and even the Immortal Light around him became slightly disordered.

“Witch Clan, are you a person of the Witch Clan?” When the Naihe Evil Immortal saw the Witch Light shining on the newcomer, he thundered with a voice as resonant as an echoing thunderclap.
