The Demon Emperor's Back No Longer Aches! Hongjun Wants to Hold a Grand Assembly in the Sea of Blood!
On the Carousel, the muscles on Di Jun's face were tightening inch by inch. The confident smile that could reflect the heavens was slowly fading from the corners of his mouth until it stiffened.
He saw it with his own eyes.
The tiny figure, upon which he placed all the hopes of the demon race and regarded as the ultimate opportunity to attain enlightenment, leaped lightly from the pink "hair dryer" pig.
Immediately afterwards, the little guy, like a puppy that had sniffed out a priceless treasure, reacted.
He strode forward on his two chubby little legs, completely ignoring the dazzling Milky Way beneath his feet, paved with billions of stars, as if walking on flat ground.
Tap, tap, tap--!
He launched his attack towards that inconspicuous Companion Star in the distance, which served as the location of the Imperial Kitchen.
"Rabbit! Lin Shen is here!"
That childlike voice, filled with pure longing and boundless joy, was amplified by the Myriad Stars Great Array, piercing the ears of every demon god with unparalleled clarity and utter ruthlessness.
The entire Heavenly Court was deathly silent.
The magnificent procession, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, came to a halt.
The deafening ceremonial music and cheers are gone.
The countless flying spirit flowers and rain of light seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, frozen in mid-air.
An awkwardness more suffocating than the vacuum of the starry sky enveloped all the demon gods.
All the demon gods, like puppets under Immobilization Spell, stiffly turned their heads, their gazes blankly following that small figure and the destination of his frantic run.
The Imperial Kitchen.
A stew of Stewed Rabbit.
With a "thud," the feather fan in Strategist Bai Ze's hand fell to the clouds. He felt as if his primordial spirit had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, and the whole world was spinning.
It's over.
Barbie Q is here.
Three thousand years of painstaking effort.
The entire demon race devoted themselves to this cause.
The most extravagant and Luxurious Parade since the World Creation of Primordial World.
It turns out...
They actually lost to a pot of Stewed Rabbit of dubious origin?
Where is Heavenly Principle?!
At this moment, the "culprit" of this accident, the Qiankun Food Sage, is swaying his head and circling his Large Black Pot, looking completely intoxicated.
He had just sprinkled another handful of his secret stash into the pot, which was said to be powder made from the seeds of some kind of Spicy Divine Plant from the Chaos Era.
Instantly, an even more domineering and captivating aroma, mixed with the unique freshness of the Lunar Jade Rabbit, soared into the sky and precisely entered Lin Shen's nostrils.
"It smells so good! It smells so good!"
Lin Shen's speed suddenly increased dramatically; his short legs almost left a blur, and a faint Golden Light of Merit even followed behind him.
The Qiankun Food Sage finally noticed the unusual force that was rushing towards him at breakneck speed.
He turned around abruptly and was met with a small figure hurtling towards him at an almost Sage's Teleportation speed.
Those big, dark eyes burned with a light hotter than the Solar True Fire, fixed intently on the pot of meat in his pot.
The Sage's Heart of the Qiankun Food Sage skipped a beat.
An extremely strong sense of foreboding instantly enveloped his Food Dao Sacred Soul.
His first instinct was to lift the lid and hide the whole pot.
It's too late.
"Brother Qiankun! I want some too!"
Before the cute yet fierce voice could finish, Lin Shen had already pounced and landed firmly on the round waist of the Qiankun Food Sage.
He clung to her like a baby koala, holding on tightly with all his might, refusing to let go no matter what.
"Senior brother, you've been stealing delicious food again!" Lin Shen's little face was puffed up with anger, but drool was still dripping from the corners of his mouth as he launched his accusation.
No! No! Absolutely not!
The Qiankun Food Sage was so frightened that he lost his mind, his hands waving wildly, and his voice distorted.
"Senior brother, I... I'm just... testing the dishes for you, junior brother! Yes! Testing the dishes!"
As he explained, he gazed with an almost desperate look at the distant, now-stopped Starlight Carousel.
He saw it.
He saw the Demon Di Jun's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He saw Donghuang Taiyi's eyes, which seemed to be spewing forth tangible Solar True Fire.
It's over.
What did I do...? I managed to abduct the main guest at the Demon Race Heavenly Court's victory celebration banquet?
This feud is bigger than Buzhou Mountain!
However, Lin Shen didn't care about any of that.
He clung to the waist of the Qiankun Food Sage, his little nose twitching greedily at the aroma wafting from the pot, muttering indistinctly, "Bunny... eat bunny..."
As he spoke, he slid off Qiankun Food Sage's waist, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and tried desperately to peek into the Large Black Pot.
That pure, unadulterated, Primal Desire for delicious food made it impossible for any living being present to feel even the slightest bit of Heart of Blame.
Di Jun's face turned from black to green, then from green to white, and finally, all his emotions turned into a long sigh filled with endless frustration and helplessness.
What could he do?
He couldn't very well tie this Little Ancestor up and force him to continue watching the parade, could he?
If we really do that, the entire Demon Race Heavenly Court will probably follow in the footsteps of Kunlun Mountain's Yuxu Palace tomorrow, and be wildly dancing in the Chaotic Currents.
Di Jun struggled to calm the violent urge within him to chop up the Qiankun Food Sage and feed him to the Golden Crow. He forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace through his teeth and flew toward them.
"Ahem, since you like it, young friend, then... let this fellow Qiankun cook it for you."
His voice was gentle, yet his gaze dimmed the starlight surrounding the Qiankun Food Sage by a third.
That look seemed to say:
If this rabbit stew isn't cooked well, you can stay and use it as fuel for my Myriad Stars Great Array!
The Qiankun Food Sage and Earth was startled. He quickly patted his plump chest and swore that he would use all his knowledge to make the most delicious Stewed Rabbit in the entire Primordial World.
In this awkward and strange atmosphere, Lin Shen had already brought over a Small Stool.
He sat obediently by the pot, his chubby little hands supporting his chin, eagerly waiting for the meal to be served.
What parade, what ceremonial procession, what demon emperor?
He doesn't care.
All he knew was that delicious food would be coming soon!
It was devoured in a whirlwind.
Lin Shen ate to his heart's content, his belly round and full, and let out a burp filled with the rich aroma of rabbit meat.
As is customary, once everyone has eaten their fill, it's time to offer a thank-you gift.
Lin Shen tilted his little head and thought for a moment. He realized that today he not only ate delicious rabbit, but also rode a sparkly Carousel and saw many uncles and aunts wearing beautiful clothes.
A thank-you gift should be given in double!
So he puffed out his cheeks and gently breathed out—
Two strands of Origin Qi, more concentrated than ever before and almost solidified into Seven-Colored Glaze, drifted leisurely from his mouth.
A wisp of lightness drifted towards Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, whose expressions remained complex.
Another wisp, like Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, drifted towards the group of Demon Gods who were still maintaining their ceremonial formation, standing dumbfounded in the Milky Way.
The moment that Origin Qi merged into the body.
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's bodies trembled violently at the same time!
"Snap--!"
A sound of shattering Shackles originating from the deepest recesses of their bloodline and primordial spirit exploded in their minds!
That's it!
It is that Innate Dao Injury that has accompanied them since the beginning of their lives, originating from the time their fathers fought against the Great God Pangu, belonging to the Golden Crow Clan!
This wound is the greatest obstacle to their breakthrough to the Higher Realm! It is a shadow that has haunted their hearts for billions of years!
But at this moment, under the wash of this warm, vast aura filled with endless Life Origin, the Innate Dao Injury that had troubled them for billions of years melted away instantly, like snow meeting the blazing sun, leaving no trace!
An unprecedented sense of clarity and harmony spread throughout his body, and every thought seemed to be cheering with joy!
Di Jun sensed it!
His Cultivation Bottleneck, which had been stagnant for countless eons, has loosened!
He was only one thin layer of paper away from reaching the supreme Sage Realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!
"This... this..."
Di Jun trembled with excitement. He looked at Lin Shen with his eyes filled with indescribable gratitude, shock, and fervor.
It was worth it!
It was totally worth it!
Let alone just a Parade Ceremony, even if we dismantled the entire Demon Race Heavenly Court and burned it for firewood, as long as we could get this light breath, we would have made a fortune!
Meanwhile, the Origin Qi dispersed into the Demon God Army.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless demon gods, as if receiving timely rain after a long drought, experienced a sudden surge in their cultivation levels!
The demon general, who had been trapped at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal for countless years, stepped into the Grand Unity Realm in one step, causing a shower of heavenly flowers to fall!
The demon god who had just entered the Great Luo had his Dao foundation stabilized instantly, and even faintly touched the threshold of the middle stage!
In an instant, auspicious clouds gathered and Myriad Auspicious Qi auspicious omens filled the entire Demon Race Heavenly Court. One after another, beams of light shot into the sky, creating a scene even more spectacular and lively than the meticulously planned parade just now!
Just as the entire demon race was immersed in the ecstasy of this unexpected blessing...
High above the nine heavens, in the eternally unchanging Zixiao Palace, a seemingly ordinary decree, yet imbued with the Supreme Heavenly Dao Will, spread throughout the Three Realms of the Primordial World.
"The three-thousand-year period has arrived."
"The Third Preaching begins immediately."
"The Place of Preaching, the Netherworld Sea of Blood."
"The Main Speaker is Houtu."
The decree was issued, and all was silent.
The revelry of the Demon Race Heavenly Court came to an abrupt end.
All the extraordinary phenomena of the breakthrough instantly subsided, and all the ecstatic demon gods suddenly looked up at the Beyond the Heavens.
All living beings turned their gaze to that Most Mysterious in the Primordial World, where the Six Paths of Reincarnation had just been born, shrouded in endless karma and Profound Aura.
A new chapter has begun, in an undeniable way.
