Chapter 755: Chapter 774 Submission from All Quarters

A cloud of auspiciousness surrounded by golden light, upon which Nuwa stood erect. At her side was a woman, her disciple Xue Fengge. Nuwa looked down with a smile, radiating an aura of peace, giving the impression of a gentle, nurturing spring rain.

“Nuwa,”

Billions of demons knelt down, with a thunderous cry that shook heaven and earth, reverberating across the infinite firmament. Both Emperors bowed respectfully, their faces showing devout reverence.

“We greet Saint Nuwa.”

All the guests instantly snapped back to reality, hurriedly kneeling and worshiping Nuwa. Although they had known that Nuwa would grace the Demon Gathering with her presence, the tension and profound awe they felt when facing the arrival of a Saint were extreme.

Below the Saint, all were mere ants—this was no idle saying but an eternal truth, the very reason the Saints stood above all living beings.

“Please rise,” Nuwa said softly, her face wearing a gentle smile.

As Nuwa’s voice fell, the roaring sounds gradually ceased. Under the leadership of both Emperors, everyone began to stand.

“Although I am a Saint, I am also of the demon race. Today, as the demon race once again governs the Three Realms, this is a grand occasion for our kind. Despite my status as a Saint, I must do something.”

Nuwa’s voice was serene as she gently waved her jade-like hands, and Holy Light showered down from the sky. Demon beasts, yet to awaken their Spiritual Wisdom, transformed under the Holy Light, their eyes now showing the Spiritual Light unique to humanity.

“We thank you for your grace, Nuwa,”

The two Emperors bowed again, and amidst the reverberations from all directions of the world, billions of demons rejoiced. Their hearts were now united as one.

“Goodness prevails in Heaven since the beginning of the Primordial era. The Three Realms have long been in chaos. The Ancient Demon Court, born from Heaven and Earth, should govern the Three Realms…”

The voice of Nuwa resonated like that of Heaven and Earth, compelling all creatures to listen attentively. Yet no one saw the Emperors’ flushed faces, their eyes ablaze with fervent divine light; clearly, Nuwa’s presence would catapult the prestige of the Ancient Demon Court to its pinnacle.

The Demon Gathering continued, and Nuwa’s presence rendered the grand event exceedingly solemn and stately. The subsequent proceedings were quite straightforward.

The two Emperors hosted the guests, presenting an abundance of Spirit Fruits and Immortal Brew. Shortly, the atmosphere of the Demon Gathering relaxed, and celestial music began to echo throughout the Ancient Demon Court.

Saint Nuwa sat in meditation high above. As a Saint, she naturally did not partake in the festivities, with only a dozen Quasi-Saints remotely toasting her with a cup of liquor, which prompted Nuwa to nod gently in acknowledgment.

“Alas, Ye Xuan seems to be in a difficult spot now,”

Lu Ya Daoist was seated with Zhen Yuanzi at a table, and at that moment, Lu Ya fiddled with the green gourd in his hand, uttering a deep sigh.

“With the Ancient Demon Court reclaiming the Three Realms and Saint Nuwa herself gracing the occasion, this momentum is unstoppable. As the saying goes, there can be no two suns in the sky, nor two rulers over the people. I fear that the Ancient Demon Court is about to make a significant move!” Zhen Yuanzi frowned and said.

“Could it be… Do you think that Donghuang Taiyi will make a move against the Heavenly Court right away?” Lu Ya suddenly asked in shocked, hushed tones.

“Heh!”

Zhen Yuanzi laughed coldly, “With the Ancient Demon Court’s power now secured, how could it possibly tolerate the existence of the Heavenly Court? The stage is set for a quite a spectacle. Let’s just wait and see how things unfold.”

“Hisss!”

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi’s words, Lu Ya couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air. He looked towards Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun, only to see them toasting with guests from all sides without any sign of abnormality.

“The old servant has a report to present!”

Suddenly, Nanji Xianweng stood up quietly. He put down his wine cup, bowed to the two great Heavenly Emperors, and at that moment, all eyes were focused on Nanji Xianweng.

As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. The guests were busily toasting each other, but Nanji Xianweng chose this moment to stand up solemnly. No one would believe there was no reason behind it.

“What urgent matter does the Southern Emperor have?”

Emperor Jun smiled slightly, a trace of sharpness flashing in his eyes. It seemed he was asking Nanji Xianweng, but in fact, this was a scene from a script that was set to be enacted.

“Today, the Ancient Demon Court reclaims authority over the Three Realms of heaven, earth, and humanity, yet that Fake Heavenly Court still exists. Moreover, Ye Xuan has not attended the Demon Gathering, clearly harboring a rebellious heart. Our Ancient Demon Court is the legitimate authority of Heaven and Earth. If we do not eradicate this Fake Heavenly Court, how can we let the beings of the Three Realms think the Ancient Demon Court incompetent?”

Nanji Xianweng’s words were powerful and righteous. However, as his remarks ended, an oppressive silence fell over the entire Demon Gathering, and a suffocating atmosphere began to grow.

“The Southern Emperor is correct. As the saying goes, heaven cannot have two suns, nor people two masters. It is time for this Fake Heavenly Court to disperse like smoke and clouds,” stated Marquis of Wind, stepping forward and adding his voice in support.

“Indeed, today is the day our Ancient Demon Race reclaims dominion over heaven and earth. This Fake Heavenly Court is just right to offer up in sacrifice to Heaven and to rectify the name of the Ancient Demon Court,” proclaimed Marquis of Rain with a resounding voice.

Following the remarks of the two Ancient Great Demons, the Ancient Demons rose one after another, with calls for battle echoing in all directions. A terrifying aura of bloodlust spread, causing the guests to shiver in fear and feel the utmost terror in their hearts.

Premeditated, a barefaced scheme. This was a plan long in the making!

The various factions were not fools. How could they not see that this was the Ancient Demon Court making a stark example for them to beware?

Although the Demon Gathering had caused the various factions to bow their heads, seemingly putting the Ancient Heavenly Court back in control of the Three Realms, if the Ancient Demon Court did not display its strength, these factions would surely harbor hope.

The Ancient Demon Court sought to establish its authority!

Yes, it was about establishing dominance, and the chosen target was the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven. By slaughtering the Heavenly Court to the last, the renown of the Ancient Demon Court would shake the world, instilling extreme dread in all factions.

Moreover, even without using the Heavenly Court to establish dominance, the Heavenly Court still had to be eliminated. In this Heaven and Earth, only one Heavenly Court can exist, especially since the Hongmeng Purple Qi is suspected in Ye Xuan’s possession, compelling the two great Heavenly Emperors to act against Ye Xuan.

At this moment!

Heaven and Earth were silent, and not a sound was to be heard. An immensely oppressive atmosphere pervaded the entire Demon Gathering. One could hear even a pin drop, as all eyes were fixed upon the two Heavenly Emperors, waiting for them to speak.

“Only one Heavenly Court can exist between heaven and earth, and our Ancient Demon Court is the legitimate one. Since Ye Xuan is obstinate, then I shall have no choice but to wreak slaughter and annihilate this Fake Heavenly Court.”

With a grand wave of his hand, Donghuang Taiyi’s voice, vast and authoritative, echoed through Heaven and Earth. It was at this moment that war drums began to roll from all directions, and the Ancient Demons clamored in the name of the Heavenly Emperor.

“We mustn’t!”

Startingly, an urgent voice rang out, and Shen Gongbao abruptly stood up, his face as white as a ghost, yet still bowing to Donghuang Taiyi and said: “May the Heavenly Emperor’s wisdom be clear. How can that Heavenly Court compare to the Ancient Demon Court? It would be better to spare Ye Xuan’s life. In doing so, the merciful and loving way of the two Heavenly Emperors could be demonstrated.”
