Taiyi and Kunpeng led seven core Demon Saint of the Demon Clan, along with a group of top Formations and Artifact Refining elites, to successfully tear open the gap in the Heavenly Dao Barrier with the help of three enormous Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Formation. They then fled into the vast Depths of Chaos to seek the opportunity to attain the Hunyuan Dao.
Their departure took away a significant portion of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
Although the Heavenly Realm continued to function, with Di Jun personally overseeing it and Fuxi and Changxi assisting in overall coordination, its administration inevitably fell into a period of chaos.
The duties of each Demon God need to be readjusted, and the command chain of elite Demon Marshal is temporarily disrupted due to the departure of some Demon Saint.
The complex affairs of the Heavenly Court left Di Jun and Fuxi exhausted, inevitably reducing the precision of their monitoring of the lower realm, especially key areas.
The complex management system and personnel scheduling left by the Demon Master Kunpeng also showed signs of sluggishness due to the lack of a sufficiently strong and familiar core leader.
This brief period of chaos and power vacuum caused by the lack of top-tier combat power is like a faint light in the dark night; though inconspicuous, it is enough to attract certain beings to launch conspiracies.
In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Golden Lamp above the auspicious Auspicious Cloud the Yuanshi Tianzun flicker, illuminating the figures of ten Golden Crow deep within the Tanggu, whose restlessness has only grown stronger due to their long imprisonment.
The True Sun Fire surrounding the Golden Crow was not purely blazing golden; it had already faintly revealed an ominous dark red within. This was a sign that the Seed of Malice Yuanshi had quietly laid down earlier, along with the Golden Crow's inherently violent nature, had been fermenting under the suppression day after day.
"Taiyi has fled far into Chaos, taking with him the core strength of the Demon Clan race. Di Jun is currently busy sorting out the chaos in the Heavenly Court."
The Yuanshi One's gaze pierced through endless time and space, landing on the magnificent Heavenly Realm palace. His voice carried a slightly cold and hard tone. "The Demon Clan's manpower has been weakened by the construction of the Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Formation and the departure of its elites, which is precisely when its management is most chaotic and superficial."
The operation of the Heavenly Dao has reached a critical point. If the stagnant Calamity Qi is not cleared, it will surely backfire and devour the Primordial Desolation Origin!
The troublemaker Spirit Gourd, has been imprisoned, and no one can issue a warning anymore.
Now is the time to Restore Order and take swift and decisive action!
Without further hesitation, the Jade Ruyi shone brightly, and its clear, cold Yuqing Immortal Light instantly pierced through layers of Space Barrier, silently appearing on the outskirts of the Sun Star Tanggu.
The Guardian Formation set up by Di Jun sensed the power of the Saint and attempted to retaliate, but under Yuanshi full force of Yuan Shi, the Formations runes, which were powerful enough to trap or even kill Great Luo, quickly dimmed and collapsed as if erased by an invisible hand.
The entire process was completely silent.
At the same time, Yuanshi flicked his finger, and with his Magical Power, he shaped a wisp of pure Sun primordial power into a nimble Flame Sparrow.
This being, conjured from holy power, exuded the pure aura of the Sun Star. It passed through the newly broken Formations without any hindrance, nimbly flashing across the scorching air of Tanggu.
"Chirp--"
A crisp yet piercing cry shattered the fiery silence of Tanggu.
"Look, what's that?" The First Golden Crow Prince was the first to notice the anomaly, his huge golden pupils suddenly contracting.
"A being formed from the True Sun Fire, it looks like a fiery being from the Sun Star outside Tanggu?" Another Golden Crow curiously peered over.
"No, how could creatures from outside get in?"
"The Restriction... could it be that the Restriction my father set up... has a flaw, or has it failed?"
The eldest prince was the first to notice that the restrictive force surrounding Tanggu had become incredibly weak, and the sense of restraint had vanished.
He cautiously extended his divine sense, and sure enough, he could no longer imprison them!
"The Formations has truly failed!" The youngest Golden Crow Prince excitedly flapped his wings, creating a surge of fire. "Father must have seen how diligently we've been cultivating and lifted the Restriction!"
Years of pent-up repression and an intense longing for the outside world, like ignited kerosene, erupted instantly under the influence of malevolent thoughts.
"Whether the Formations is flawed or malfunctioning, this is a rare Formations, brothers. Let's take this chance to get some fresh air and go down to the lower realm!"
The Second Prince, whose personality was the most impulsive, could no longer restrain himself. With a long cry, he transformed into a dazzling golden rainbow and immediately rushed out of Tanggu, towards the Primordial Desolation Earth he had longed for!
"Second brother, wait for me!"
"Charge! Let's follow Second Brother to the Primordial Desolation Earth and have some fun!"
Ten impulsive souls, suppressed for countless years, completely lost the reins of reason at this moment.
Ten blazing streaks of light, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, carrying pure Destruction energy, rushed out of Tanggu and out of the Sun Star like Primordial Ferocious Beast breaking free from their cages, heading straight for the Primordial Desolation Earth!
As the ten Golden Crow left the Sun Star and flew towards the Primordial Desolation Earth, their speed was incredibly fast, thanks to the Innate Divine Ability of the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation.
Not long after, they descended from the Heavenly Realm.
In an instant, the Primordial World celestial phenomena underwent a dramatic change!
The sky was occupied by ten terrifying Sun, which were not high in the sky, but like runaway chariots of fire, galloping wildly in the sky close to the earth!
An unimaginably intense light swept across the earth, billions of times more intense than the Sun falling from the Sun Star!
The air was instantly boiled, emitting a sizzling sound.
The grass and trees turned to ashes the moment the light touched them, the earth dried up and cracked, and the rocks shattered due to the terrifying temperature difference.
Rivers, lakes, and seas are evaporating at a visible rate!
The vast East Sea, South Sea, and West Sea, under the baking of ten Sun, began to heat up, with scalding steam shooting straight into the sky, forming a pale, Shrouding the Heavens cloud that was then instantly torn apart by the new light and heat.
Many rivers dried up, lakes dried up, and countless Water Tribe creatures that could not escape struggled in vain in the scalding water, turning into charred remains in an instant.
"Ah! My eyes!" In the Human Race tribe, one after another mortal's eyes were instantly blinded by the bright light, countless blisters appeared on their skin, and they collapsed to the ground convulsing in extreme pain, turning into charred skeletons in just a few breaths.
"Fire! Fire everywhere! Run!"
"Mother! Father!"
In the wilderness, a little demon helplessly watched as his parents turned into torches in the path swept by the True Sun Fire. He didn't even have time to scream; he could only shield them with his body. However, the next second, he followed in their footsteps.
"Help..."
The mournful screams echoed across the land as countless lives met their doom without warning.
Far from Buzhou Mountain, on the edge of the region, the settlement of the Witch Clan also suffered a devastating catastrophe.
When the Golden Crow descended to the mortal realm, they avoided Buzhou Mountain, the stronghold of the Witch Clan; otherwise, they would have been dealt with long ago before they could cause significant damage.
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
"Roar!"
A fierce Witch Clan Warriors attempted to use his Wu power to withstand the power of the True Sun Fire, but his proud and powerful Physical Body was rapidly carbonized under the scorching heat of the ten suns.
With his last remaining will, he roared and charged into the sky, only to turn into a cloud of scattered ashes a hundred feet from the ground!
In his village, all the wooden and stone houses burned and collapsed, and the elderly, women, and children who could not escape were turned to ashes by the high temperature.
"Damn hairy beast!"
The Great Witch Kuafu was holding a meeting in his tribe when he watched helplessly as the settlement on the edge of the tribe was ignited by the True Sun Fire in the instant the ten suns swept by, and countless tribesmen screamed and disappeared in the flames.
The Ancestral Witch Totem Pillar enshrined in the tribe was instantly melted by the high temperature.
My people!
The Ancestral Witch Jumang is above!
This machine-made, hairy beast is committing atrocities!
He stared at the tribe bathed in the True Sun Fire, and at the burned-out Jumang Totem Pillar of the Ancestral Witch Jumang, his eyes bloodshot, and roared to the sky.
Deep within the Houtu Palace, the Incarnation of Empress Houtu suddenly opened her eyes, a complex light flashing within them before returning to calm.
The Earthly Dao blockade remains secure.
As the ten Golden Crow fluttered about excitedly in the lower realm, the serious consequences they caused also had a repercussions on the Fortune of the Demon Clan race itself.
The Heavenly Realm, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The celestial Heavenly Patrol Mirror responsible for monitoring the Sun Star vibrated violently, emitting a distorted and indistinct alarm sound, but its light was dim and the information was disordered and unclear.
What happened?
Di Jun's heart pounded, and he demanded an answer in a stern voice.
The Demon God on duty was filled with terror and confusion. "Your Majesty! The Heavenly Patrol Mirror is being inexplicably interfered with; the energy in the direction of the Sun Star... is completely chaotic!"
Unable to identify the specific situation!
"The River Diagram and Luo Shu!" Di Jun knew something was wrong and immediately communicated with the treasure.
However, a persistent haze shrouded the River Luo Star Chart, and the position of the Sun Star, which should have shone like a star, also presented a strange and oppressive dark red color!
"Entangled Karma and effect... Heavenly Secrets obscured? Oh no, Tanggu!"
Di Jun instantly understood the reason. A chill ran from his feet to the top of his head, and he could barely maintain his Demon Emperor dignity. "Immediately muster the troops! Wait until I return from Tanggu! Hurry!!"
However, can the Saint's divine Heavenly Secrets be easily dispelled in a moment?
In the short time that Di Jun was mobilizing his troops, the ten Golden Crow had already broken out of the Sun Star's range and were galloping wildly across the Primordial Desolation Earth. They had no scruples and felt extremely exhilarated. Their scorching flames sprayed down, burning the earth's creatures and leaving behind shocking blackened paths.
All life along the way was extinguished under the scorching heat of the ten Sun.
The vast plains turned into scorched earth, the dense forests into a sea of fire, the rivers dried up, and the oceans boiled... Vast resentment and deathly aura rose like black columns of smoke from the depths of the damaged earth!
The invisible golden pillar of Fortune hovering above the Demon Court now swayed precariously, emitting a piercing cracking sound.
All the races of the Primordial World, whether Human Clan, Demon Clan scattered across the Primordial Desolation Earth, or various Spirit Plants, suffered heavy losses in this undeserved calamity, and their boundless hatred for the Demon Court ran deep in their bones.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Heavy footsteps, like the beating of drums, echoed across the earth.
A towering giant appeared on the land ravaged by the ten suns; he was none other than the Great Witch Kuafu!
Looking at the scorched and broken earth, smelling the blood of his Popular Support and all living beings burning in the air, Kuafu's grief and anger and his determination to protect his people completely ignited his Witch Blood!
"You flat-feathered thieving bird, how dare you harm my Witch Tribe and wreak havoc on the Primordial Desolation Earth that my Witch Clan protects!"
Kuafu's roar shook the universe; his towering figure seemed to be the only pillar on this scorched earth.
Without further hesitation, he took a single step, traversing tens of thousands of miles!
He brandished the enormous, mountain-like Peachwood Staff in his hand and chased after the ten rampaging Golden Crow!
At first, the Golden Crow didn't pay much attention to the giants below. However, after they ate several Peachwood Staff from Kuafu, countless Golden Crow Feathers were broken, and the fourth and fifth Golden Crows were seriously injured.
They immediately realized how dangerous it was and fled from Kuafu's attack range.
The Golden Crow sensed the threat posed by this Great Witch clan. They flew into the sky, continuing to spew true fire, while circling in the air and forming Golden Crow Great Formation, attempting to lure Kuafu away from the core area of the Witch Clan. At the same time, they attacked this overconfident pursuer with scorching light and heat.
"Sizzle--" The raging True Sun Fire continued to scorch Kuafu's Witch Body.
His bronze skin began to turn red and emit blue smoke. The power of the True Sun Fire was indeed formidable. Kuafu was blinded by rage and, despite the scorching heat of the fire, tried to attack the Golden Crow in the sky. As time went on, his flesh began to smell burnt.
The Witch Blood flowing within his body seemed about to boil and evaporate under the high temperature!
"Thirsty... so thirsty!" Extreme dehydration and burning pain assaulted Kuafu's nerves.
Just then, he saw a wide river ahead that was about to dry up.
Kuafu roared, "The Return of the Long River!"
He suddenly bent down, opened his mouth wide, and activated the Secret Technique of the Witch Clan.
The remaining water of the great river transformed into a giant waterspout, which he swallowed whole!
His skin, which had been reddened and swollen from the True Sun Fire, had calmed down somewhat.
However, this was only a drop in the ocean; the scorching Sun never stopped!
He then rushed to a vast inland sea and drank all the water from the Marshland that was about to evaporate completely!
"Not enough!" Kuafu looked at the cracked lake bottom, his eyes burning with an indomitable flame, and continued to stride forward, chasing the Golden Crow in the sky.
His body was like a moving volcano, its internal magical power surging and boiling wildly under extreme heat and depletion, each step incredibly heavy, leaving deep cracks in the earth.
But Physical Body strength has its limits. Even the incredibly powerful Great Witch Kuafu could not withstand ten days of continuous burning and plundering of his essence by true fire.
He chased for seven days and seven nights, traversing endless Primordial Desolation Continent, drinking the waters of several great rivers and marshes, until finally, on a desolate plain near the setting Sun, he breathed his last.
Its massive body swayed precariously, exhausted of moisture and strength, and a terrifying aura of blood and heat emanated from it.
He let out a final, defiant roar, "I hate it! I hate that I can't kill you... feathered... thieving birds!"
After saying this, the towering giant collapsed with a thud!
He fell on the scorching, blackened earth, beneath the ten Golden Crow he had been chasing!
The last trace of Water Element Power within its body evaporated completely, and its enormous form gradually lost its luster under the scorching heat of ten suns, transforming into a crimson hill stretching for thousands of miles, becoming the first monumental sacrifice of this disaster.
The Peachwood Staff in his hand fell to the ground, and where the giant tree landed, it instantly absorbed the earth's turbid energy and grew into Peach Forest stretching for thousands of miles, bringing a faint glimmer of life and coolness to this scorched land.
Kuafu's death ignited the fuse for the Witch Clan's revenge.
