CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 361: IMMORTAL DEMON SILENCE, WITCH-DEMON MERGER

"What should we do now?"

Candle Dragon flew towards The Three Pure Ones. Just now, to deal with Luo Hou, Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Primordial Qilin had all resorted to a mutually destructive method.

Who knows when they will return?

Now, the leaders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans are gone. Naturally, the war between the three clans cannot continue.

Those beings from the three clans, manipulated by Luo Hou to attack the Hongtian Taoist, were instantly turned to nothingness under the Divine Skills of the Hongtian Taoist.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn’t help but look towards the Twelve Ancestor Witches. At this moment on the battlefield, only the Twelve Ancestor Witches had the qualifications to battle them.

"Let’s go!"

Emperor Jiang knew that now was not the time to fight The Three Pure Ones. The great catastrophe had just ended, and they also needed some time to recover their original injuries.

The "Pangu’s True Body" they summoned was forcibly destroyed by Luo Hou. The backlash from the great array left them with no ability to contend with The Three Pure Ones at the moment.

Of course, The Three Pure Ones were the same, just outwardly strong but inwardly weak, merely holding on by force!

But the three clans were in great grief, the sources of their bloodlines falling, and in a short time, it would be impossible for them to return to their peak!

Yuanshi Tianzun, his heart stirred, suddenly looked towards Kunpeng: "Daoist Kunpeng, Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, Primordial Qilin, as well as Emperor Jun and Daoist Taiyi, have all fallen in the great calamity. Would you be willing to stand up, restore order to the world, enlighten the sentient beings, and become the sole Heavenly Emperor?"

"Me?"

Kunpeng pointed to himself, somewhat incredulous. But on careful thought, besides The Three Pure Ones, there really wasn’t anyone more suitable than him!

After all...

Before the reshaping of the Primordial, he was the first Human Dao Saint in the Primordial, the teacher of the Demon Clan, with few in the True Realm of the Primordial having higher cultivation than him.

Of course, he also knew that Yuanshi Tianzun wanted him to become the Heavenly Emperor, certainly for his own plans, to spare the Three Taoist Sects from having to face many turbulence directly.

"It’s you!"

Yuanshi Tianzun slowly spoke: "Now, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Demon Clan, Human Race, can all be said to be leaderless. Who else in the vast Primordial is more suitable to command the Heavenly Court than you?"

This time battle also cost the Three Taoist Sects quite a bit, with several Saints falling. He would have to spend some effort to retrieve their True Spirits.

And the Witch Clan, in this battle, did not suffer much loss. Only the Twelve Ancestor Witches had their "Pangu’s True Body" forcibly broken by Luo Hou, suffering some Tao injuries, but given the Witch Clan’s foundation, it wasn’t a big issue. According to Yuanshi Tianzun’s estimate, in a hundred yuanhui at most, the Twelve Ancestor Witches would be restored as before!

He needed a person, or rather a being, to temporarily hold the Witch Clan in check for them.

Kunpeng was a good choice, with strength, prestige, and ambition, and his position in the Demon Clan was actually more difficult to shake than that of Emperor Jun.

Of course, he urged Kunpeng to become the Heavenly Emperor, also to divide the Witch and Demon clans.

Xuanming and Donghuang Taiyi, though having offspring, were too weak and had no possibility of becoming the common leader of the Witch and Demon clans in the short term.

Moreover, Kunpeng and Emperor Jun, although both were great powers of the Demon Clan, were not of one heart with Emperor Jun. Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, Nuwa, clearly had their own schemes, but they did not inform Kunpeng. This clue could not be hidden from Yuanshi Tianzun!

He didn’t believe that guys like Fuxi would fall so easily, especially Emperor Jun, who was not one to sacrifice selflessly!

"Good!"

Kunpeng did not decline and immediately agreed. He knew that Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to use him, but how could he not have his own plans?

His position as the "Ancestor of the Mixed Kun" needed to transform the void into reality and refine false into true, which required a massive amount of Power of Faith. Becoming the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World was undoubtedly a shortcut that could save him a lot of time.

Even if Yuanshi Tianzun schemed against him, at most, he would voluntarily die once. In terms of escaping, Kunpeng indeed had much to say.

As long as I die fast enough, the so-called karma cannot fall upon me!

Soon, under the hint of Yuanshi Tianzun, Candle Dragon, Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, Kong Xuan, and Minghe, actively supported Kunpeng to become the new Heavenly Emperor.

Candle Dragon and Grand Saint of Nine Spirits had both cooperated with Yuanshi Tianzun, and Kong Xuan, if not wanting the Phoenix Clan to be labeled as colluding with Luo Hou, could only endure humiliation and temporarily obey Yuanshi Tianzun’s orders.

As for Minghe, he purely enjoyed watching the chaos, wanting to involve himself in everything, wishing to chop all the Primordial Saints once.

This time, in the great calamity, he wore three layers of disguise and chopped quite a few Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals. His Killing Dao also advanced rapidly during this time.

With The Three Pure Ones returning to their Dao Fields to recuperate, the discourse of Primordial Heaven and Earth fell to Kunpeng.

However, The Three Pure Ones did not completely give up instigations; Daoist Duobao, Nanji Daoist, and Xuan Dou were all arranged to the Ancient Starry Sky.

Additionally, with Jin Ling Saint Mother and Zhao Gongming originally in the Ancient Starry Sky, the Three Taoist Sects might hide in the background, but had not lost much influence.

"Kunpeng, the Heavenly Emperor?"

Meanwhile, in the Witch Clan’s territory, Fuxi, Emperor Jun, Nuwa, Donghuang Taiyi, upon hearing of Kunpeng’s ascension, couldn’t help but twitch their mouths, seemingly somewhat incredulous.

"What a bargain for him!"

Emperor Jun sighed, looking at Xi He and the others who had just been resurrected and molded into the Ancestor Witch Bodies: "However, he is merely a puppet of The Three Pure Ones!"

The reason why they did not inform Kunpeng of their plan for the "Witch-Demon Merger" was because Kunpeng was too adept at adapting to circumstances!

Of course, put nicely, that’s one way to say it!

Put bluntly, he was shameless, a traitor, extremely efficient when the wind was favorable, but might choose to run when the wind was against him.

Before the reshaping of the Primordial, in the Witch Demon Tribulation, Kunpeng had once fled with the "River Map" and "Luo Book," secretly becoming a Human Dao Saint in Beiming.

Later, after the reshaping of the Primordial, he joined the Phoenix Clan and backstabbed Yuan Feng once.

Among the Saints of the Primordial, if Zhunti and Jieyin were perceived as those without limits, then Kunpeng definitely had the most flexible bottom line!

If they were to reveal their plans to Kunpeng, in case he saw The Three Pure Ones as being too powerful, he might change course and directly inform The Three Pure Ones of their schemes!

Emperor Jiang also understood the concerns of Emperor Jun and others, immediately speaking: "During this time, Daoist Fuxi, please take the trouble to retrieve those fallen Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals from the Space-Time River and reshape them into the Ancestral Witch True Body for those who might be allied with us!"

Currently, the Witch Clan, besides the Twelve Ancestor Witches, have War Ancestor Witch Xingtian, Star Ancestor Witch Jiu Feng, and then the newly changed bloodline members: Yi Ancestor Witch Fuxi, Creation Ancestor Witch Nuwa, Light Ancestor Witch Taiyi, Void Ancestor Witch Di Jun, Sun Ancestor Witch Xi He, Moon Ancestor Witch Wang Shu, and Spirit Ancestor Witch Bai Ze!

They still lack three Ancestor Witches to evolve a second set of the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array"!

Of course, the ambition of the Witch Clan was not limited to this. If possible, they also wanted to evolve a third and fourth set of the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array," then with overwhelming might, sweep across the Primordial, letting The Three Pure Ones know the cost of betraying Father Pangu!

In the view of Emperor Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, those Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals who fell in this great calamity, besides the certain individuals from the Three Taoist Sects, and Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Primordial Qilin, all had potential to be recruited.

Soon, under Fuxi’s efforts, Pan King, Yu Qiang, Hao Tian, and Turquoise Pool’s True Spirits were fished out from the Infinite Space-Time River!

All of them had unfortunately fallen while battling Chaos Demon Gods or Luo Hou, and coupled with past grievances with the Three Taoist Sects, Fuxi successfully recruited them without expending much effort.

"In fact, those Chaos Demon Gods are not all unconsiderable!"

Fuxi suddenly spoke, "Not all Chaos Demon Gods thought to destroy the Primordial, like the Illusion Demon God and others."

Although this time, The Three Pure Ones were powerless before Luo Hou, the final strike of the "Spirit Treasure Daoist Monarch Dharma Form" with the "Heavenly Creation Divine Axe," they truly did not have confidence to withstand it head-on.

That strike had already surpassed the category of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, touching upon the Great Dao General, and even the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array" might struggle to resist.

"We can consider!"

Zhu Jiuyin immediately nodded, "However, before helping them reshape the Taoist Body, they must first swear by the Great Dao and Father God!"

If not absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t want to use those Chaos Demon Gods, but since there was no other choice, they must first eliminate potential hidden dangers.

"Agreed!"

Fuxi also supported this viewpoint.

Emperor Jiang immediately decided, "After one hundred yuanhui, it will be the time to confront The Three Pure Ones!"
