God Ruler (Part One)
Upon hearing Xue Mingcheng's words, Peng Tianxia, Ao Zhenhai, and the other Demon Lord were overjoyed.
These ants from the Great Ruin Realm are now on the verge of transforming into dragons.
At the Celestial God realm, they can already fight demon lords who are far above their level. If they were to break through to the God Lord realm... that would be extremely terrifying.
Therefore, it must be stopped!
However, they are monarch-level figures, and at this level, their actions are subject to many restrictions.
Furthermore, since the Demon Race is currently in hiding, any action by them would easily attract the attention of the divine realm. Therefore, they have not made any moves until now.
For Demon Lord, concealing the secrets of heaven is... very simple.
"Heh, interesting. A group of monstrous geniuses, taking the final step, only to find themselves with nowhere to go... What must that feel like?"
Peng Tianxia laughed.
"This is the safest approach. They've pushed themselves into a corner, only to find that the Heavenly Dao's energy they've been waiting for hasn't appeared... An interesting scene."
Ao Zhenhai was also quite looking forward to it.
At this moment,
The battle on the battlefield was extremely fierce!
The allied forces of ten million Demon Race have suffered millions of casualties!
They charged forward relentlessly.
Dugu Yuqing felt almost completely exhausted. The Vermilion Bird was perched on his shoulder and could only occasionally help him with its flames.
His body was already covered in wounds, and he had taken Su Baiqian's divine medicine three times along the way!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Lu Rang like a madman. The divine ox staggered and he no longer rode it. Three blades of grass burned away the blood of the Demon Race, but at this moment he was almost numb from killing, and he also vomited blood!
Nan Feng, Xin Ning, and others also felt immense pressure.
The reason they were able to contend with, and even kill, the Demon Lord was because their understanding of the Dao was at a higher level than that of the Demon Lord level.
However, the vast chasm between different levels of strength still exists.
They grasped a higher level of the Dao, like a child wielding a sharp blade.
In contrast, the Dao comprehended by Demon Lord level is like an adult with only bamboo poles, wooden sticks, and other weapons.
In such situations, a child can indeed kill an adult.
But if this continues, the child's physical strength and experience will be completely overwhelmed.
In fact, a child wielding a sharp weapon was facing not just one adult, but more than a dozen!
There were thousands of children around, also holding wooden sticks, etc...
How do I play?
If they hadn't possessed extraordinary talent, even if they had comprehended a high level of the Dao, they would have already perished!
Even Jiang Li, who was responsible for defending the rear and controlling the situation, was pale-faced with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth!
On his chessboard... he has slain over a million powerful Demon Race warriors!
But the situation is very difficult!
"Hahaha... That's exhilarating... One sword can't kill you all, so let's see how you'll withstand ten swords, a hundred swords, ten thousand swords!"
With a long roar, Dugu Yuqing caused the sword of rules in front of him to rise and fall, as if it were about to influence the great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
He has reached his limit and is about to break through!
"One blade of grass... not green enough, not green enough, I want a whole Green Grassland!"
Lu Rang was also shouting loudly!
"One me cannot save millions of Demon Race, so let millions upon millions of me appear—"
Qing Chen smiled slightly, and his body emitted countless rays of light!
"One melody is like the wind, a hundred melodies are like the sea... I will cleanse the world of its dust!"
"When the vocal range is complete, the world will forget the dust of the world!"
The Nan Feng remained still.
"As the Celestial Master, I shall control heaven and earth; the realm of runes shall be a universe unto itself!"
All of Lin Jiuzheng's runes were already trembling!
"My Big Brother once said that knowledge is an ocean... So, I don't just want a book, I want... the ocean of knowledge!"
Even the Xin Ning is whispering!
At this moment, they had all reached their limit!
Just one step away!
He will become a god!
However, right at this very moment...
Four terrifying figures suddenly appeared in the sky.
Those were four Demon Lord whose cultivation was beyond compare!
Xue Lushhan, Xue Mankong, Peng Tianxia, Ao Zhenhai!
The four of them made their move!
The moment the four Demon Lord moved, the entire void seemed to boil, and spacetime itself trembled.
A person of the highest rank, when calm and dormant, remains unmoved by heaven and earth; yet, every move they make is like a giant whale churning, causing the ocean to tremble.
The endless Demon Race army, including powerful figures like the Demon Lord and the Heavenly Demon, were all shocked. Feeling the boundless pressure from the heavens, they all knelt down!
Millions of powerful Demon Race knelt on the ground.
At the same time, the four Demon Lord sneered.
"Does a bunch of ants think they can leap over the Dragon Gate?"
Xue Lushhan sneered and said:
"Today I will show you what true despair is!"
"Gentlemen, let's move!"
Immediately, the four Demon Lord attacked simultaneously.
An inexplicable aura emanated from it, the aura of Demon Lord!
Their auras merged into one, blotting out the sky and instantly sealing off the entire space.
At this moment, everyone was shocked and paled. Under the suppression and blockade of this energy, everyone felt that they couldn't even circulate their divine power!
This is the Demon Lord. He doesn't need to lift a finger; with just a thought, or simply by sitting there, he can suppress an entire region!
"You want to break through to the God Lord level? You're dreaming!"
Ao Zhenhai sneered and said:
"We sit cross-legged high above the heavens. Unless you grant our permission, you will never be able to open this door!"
The connection between heaven and earth and this battlefield has been severed!
At this moment, Dugu Yuqing and the others were unable to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth.
For cultivators who choose to observe the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and advance to the realm of the Divine Lord, this is tantamount to annihilation!
Without the manifestation of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, one cannot perceive the Heavenly Dao, let alone imitate and create one's own divine domain from the Dao manifested by Heaven and Earth!
Any cultivator facing this situation would likely despair...
It's like having exhausted all your strength to cross the last mountain, thinking you're about to see the ocean, only to find that there's no sea on the other side, just an endless desert!
Upon seeing this, all the Demon Race were overjoyed!
"Great! Haha, so what if these monsters are ferocious? They've reached their end!"
"We'll all die eventually!"
"They killed a million of our Demon Race; we must annihilate them completely!"
Many Demon Race now harbor fear and resentment towards Nan Feng and his group.
I wish they would die soon!
High above, the four Demon Lords all revealed mocking smiles.
"Ants are just ants. Do you know that we are the Ruler of your fate?"
"The vital energy of heaven and earth is obscured; your path is blocked."
"You are indeed very strong, even stronger than I was in my youth, but unfortunately... you have chosen the wrong path!"
They acted like Ruler, delivering a verdict.
But, at this very moment, on that battlefield...
"Bite--"
A clear and melodious note from the zither suddenly rang out!
That was... the sound of the Nan Feng playing the zither!
A zither melody rang out, and all the Demon Race looked over in shock.
"She can still play the zither?"
"Was she not restricted under the suppression of the Demon Lord?"
The many Demon Race were utterly surprised!
As soon as the Nan Feng zither began to play, the notes immediately soared!
The music flowed like water, rushed like clouds, and poured out like a great river!
Boom!
Nan Feng's aura erupted instantly, stretching for thousands of miles. That area seemed to have been Ruler her. Every note she played seemed to have gained life in that region, becoming eternal!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Instantly, the Demon Lord in the sky changed drastically!
They all knew what this meant...
The girl playing the piano...
In that instant, he condensed his own divine domain.
Reaching the realm of a god?!
Without divine intervention or the manipulation of the natural order?!
"Without anyone to observe or learn from, how could she possibly evolve a divine realm?!"
Xue Lushhan's astonished voice echoed throughout the Star River!
However, this is just the beginning!
Following the Nan Feng, another terrifying aura erupted.
The area around Qing Chen seemed to have transformed into an endless Buddhist realm, filled with Buddhist light and golden radiance that bathed the starry sky. In that void, mysterious and unfathomable Buddhist figures sat cross-legged...
Every single one is exactly the same as Qing Chen!
Yet another deity!
