The light swept across the empty palace, and finally, like two cold, sharp swords, pierced through layers of spatial barriers, fiercely nailing towards the unreachable Thirty-three Heavens Beyond!
The humiliation of the past surged into his mind in an instant—as fellow guests of the Purple Cloud Palace, and as dignified Innate Deities, they were actually deceived by the two brothers, Di Jun and Tai Yi, with a casual remark that their status was "second only to my brothers."
And the result?
The demon race has risen to power, and all demons come to pay homage. Yet his name is listed alongside Ji Meng, Bai Ze, and others, merely one of the so-called "Ten Great Demon Saint"!
The position of Celestial Venerable? That belongs to the Qing Huan.
The Demon Emperor's throne? Nuwa and Fuxi sit atop it.
I've been reduced to a mere Demon Saint, forced to obey orders?
Such mockery and contempt are like poisonous thorns, deeply embedded in the heart for eternity.
"Now Demon Script has been born, enlightening all demons and establishing an unprecedented foundation! I shall be the Teacher of Ten Thousand Demons!"
A turbulent current of revenge and ambition surged within Kunpeng's heart.
"This is immeasurable Luck and Merit! From now on, I am invincible. Di Jun, Tai Yi, even if you possess the Chaos Bell and the River Diagram and Luo Script, how dare you easily harm me in the slightest?!"
Thinking of this, the pent-up anger in my chest transformed into soaring heroic sentiments.
Without further hesitation, he suddenly rose into the air, his black robe billowing, causing the waters of the North Sea to surge backward and the heavens and earth to change color!
The colossal and boundless true form of the Demon Saint —the astonishing Dharma form of Northern Darkness Youyu transformed into a Peng—manifested beneath the Primordial Wilderness sky. Its wings, like clouds hanging from the heavens, soared ninety thousand miles high with a single flap, carrying a majestic power that shook the Primordial Wilderness as it hurtled straight into the Yunxiao!
"Heavenly Dao's will prevail!"
A sharp shout, its sound resounding like an ancient thunderclap, instantly spread throughout the heavens and the earth, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of every sentient being.
At this moment, all beings, whether immortals, gods, demons, or monsters, with any intelligence, involuntarily looked up at the sky, their minds captivated by the magnificent celestial sound.
"I am Kunpeng! I have observed that the demon race has long lost its culture, its heritage has been severed, and its education has not flourished. Although it is favored by the heavens and its race is prosperous, it is ignorant and chaotic, irresponsible and disorderly, and its fighting is endless!"
I felt that the Heavenly Dao was flawed, and pitied the ignorance of all living beings. Therefore, I devoted myself to the utmost effort, spending tens of thousands of years to thoroughly researching the innate Innate Divine Script, examining all the ancient inscriptions, and integrating the strengths of countless living beings and the wisdom of all races. Finally, I created this 'Demon Script'! It contains the mysteries of Creation, can enlighten the intelligence of the demon race, inherit the Primordial Wilderness traditions, carry on the supreme knowledge of the sages, and receive the great grace of Heaven and Earth!
I hereby declare to Heavenly Dao above and to all living beings below, from this day forth, I, Kunpeng, shall be the teacher of the demon race!
The oath has been made, and Heavenly Dao has responded!
Rumble--!
The entire Primordial Earth trembled violently, and thunder rumbled endlessly in the depths of the sky, as if countless worlds were being created and annihilated.
Endless primordial pure energy surged forth from nothingness, vast and mighty, sweeping across the heavens!
These pure energies were not disordered, but rather as if guided and woven by an invisible giant hand. In an instant, they unfolded a colossal scroll across the boundless Primordial Wilderness sky, stretching east to west, north to south, and covering hundreds of millions of miles of territory!
This scroll is neither gold nor jade, neither silk nor cloth, but is purely formed from the power of the Heavenly Dao and the pure energy of the laws. It is vast and boundless. Only the Pangu Temple, where the Turbid Qi of the earth is suppressed and where the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan reside, is a unique domain where the pure and turbid energies meet, and it is not completely covered by it.
The Kunpeng stands beneath this scroll of heaven and earth, as insignificant as a speck of dust, yet as majestic as the creator god.
With eyes like lightning and Spiritual Sense reaching the heavens and earth, he used his finger as a pen, gathering the power of creation, and wrote the first Demon Script in mid-air towards the boundless scroll:
"Sky--!"
With a single stroke, heaven and earth resonate!
The huge word "" bloomed with immeasurable golden light, as if it had triggered the original power of the ancient world.
As soon as the characters were finished, auspicious Auspicious Qi rose and rays of light shone everywhere!
A mythical Qilin, pure white as jade and bearing profound Dao Divine Beast on its back, stepped proudly out from the auspicious heavens, its feet resting on Lotus Platform formed from five-colored auspicious clouds!
It was surrounded by a gentle and sacred "Auspicious Script Qi," which, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, silently spread across the Primordial Earth.
"Roar!"
"Awoo!"... In the Primordial Wilderness mountains, forests, marshes, and thickets, countless ferocious beasts that ate raw meat and drank blood, and ignorant and chaotic wild animals, had their minds touched by this Auspicious Script Qi.
In an instant, for the first time, the Sun, Moon, and Stars, mountains, rivers, grass and trees were clearly reflected in their scarlet and savage beast eyes, and an unprecedented sense of clarity was born in their chaotic sea of consciousness!
The roars gradually subsided, replaced by low murmurs filled with surprise and awe.
Their fur shed its skin, their claws gleamed, and a faint yet undeniably real Yao Qi rose from their bodies—at that very moment, as the Qilin treaded on the lotus and its literary energy shone brightly, countless wild beasts and ferocious creatures on the Primordial Earth awakened their spiritual power and instantly became demons!
The Kunpeng's brush moves like dragons and snakes, using heaven and earth as paper and the laws of nature as ink, never ceasing its strokes.
"Land--!"
With a single word, mountains and rivers take shape, the meaning of "great virtue carries all things" permeates the air, and a deep pulse resonates from the depths of the earth.
"Mysterious--!"
The appearance of this character is dark and profound, revealing the secrets of the universe, with stars appearing and disappearing in their arrangement.
"Yellow--!"
When this character is formed, the central element, Earth, is thick and heavy, and the vital energy that nourishes all things flows through it.
"Road--!"
When the Dao character, containing the supreme truth, manifested, the Wenrui Qilin stretched its neck and let out a long cry. The auspicious light instantly surged, and the range of illumination suddenly expanded, catalyzing more living beings to awaken their intelligence and transform into the demon race!
Wherever the spirit of literature reaches, Malevolent Qi dissipates, and hidden evils lurk, filling the world with a sacred aura of enlightenment and the nascent birth of civilization.
Kunpeng was completely absorbed in the great undertaking of creating scripture, and the birth of each Demon Script was accompanied by unique phenomena:
It might summon the stars to shed their slivers of starlight, or attract divine birds and cranes to dance in the sky, or draw the Plant Spirits to manifest their illusory forms in worship...
What is written is no longer simple symbols, but a chain of laws that pry open the Primordial Origin and build the foundation of the demon race's civilization! Each word weighs more than a thousand pounds, carrying the Luck and the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
Time lost its meaning amidst the vast, wondrous phenomena. An unknown amount of time passed, until the 129,600th Demon Script, symbolizing the beginning and the return to oneness, was imprinted upon the Heavenly Dao Scroll with unprecedented brilliance—
It was an incomparably enormous and supreme being, embodying all the primordial energy and future Luck of the demon race:
"Demon--!"
The moment the word "demon" was uttered, the world fell silent! Then, an unprecedented uproar ensued!
Boom--!
One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Demon Script trembled in unison, unleashing a brilliant divine light that pierced through the entire Primordial Wilderness universe!
Boundless golden light, purple aura, auspicious clouds, and Caiyun, like the first ray of light at the Heaven-Opening, instantly engulfed everything in sight.
In the eastern sky, the vast and mighty Hongmeng Purple Qi stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, spanning the sky and dyeing the Primordial Wilderness a noble purple-gold color!
On the shores of the North Sea, the vast, cold waters beneath the feet of the Kunpeng have transformed from turbulent waves into an ocean of golden lotuses!
Countless golden lotuses, formed from pure Merit and the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, burst forth from the water, layer upon layer, blooming in competition. Each lotus petal exudes the charm of the Dao and emits radiant light.
Where the Golden Lotus blooms, the karmic fire is extinguished, Malevolent Qi is purified, as if this once ominous place has been transformed into a supreme pure land where sages preach!
