Seven Demon Gods
Endless Chaos.
"The best time has come! Ling Xiao and Heavenly Dao Hongjun are both severely injured. It's truly heaven's help... Our great opportunity has arrived!" A demon god emanating Chaos energy laughed loudly.
He is the true "Chaos Demon God" who controls the Law of Chaos. In the past, during the great battle in Chaos, he easily survived by taking advantage of the convenience of his own laws.
The Law of Chaos is one of the ten top-tier laws, demonstrating its formidable power.
"Indeed! That Golden Crow named Ling Xiao is truly foolish, daring to even dream of sealing the Heavenly Dao. This is something none of us would dare to even consider."
"Most incredibly, he almost succeeded in sealing most of the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the Old Earthworm was so frightened that it fled in panic."
"In this way, the Primordial World will become a paradise for gods and demons, and no power will be able to restrain us anymore."
A deity whose eyes seemed to hold the passage of time echoed this, saying that he was the God of Time, and had a connection with the Shichen of Time Demon God, and that they shared the same laws.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Seize this opportunity to wash the Primordial World in blood, sacrifice billions of lives, and achieve my Great Dao!"
Another demon god, brimming with murderous intent, roared, already impatient, his murderous aura emanating from him corroding the surrounding Chaos energy.
The Law of Slaughter: Slaughter Demon God!
Its very existence is for Slaughter; it's been pent up for years without much killing.
He can forgo opportunities, but he must kill to his heart's content.
"Hehehe... Whatever, whatever!" A demon god with an illusory form chuckled, showing little opinion of his own.
"I will personally sever the head of that Golden Crow!"
The demon god, radiating an icy aura that nearly froze the Chaos void, coldly roared.
Five demon gods spoke, leaving only Yang Mei and the last demon god remaining.
"What you all say is absolutely right. Heavenly Dao Hongjun has been severely injured, Ling Xiao is critically wounded and on the verge of death, and the other Sage are nothing but chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning. This is the best time for us to make our move."
Yang Mei and said with a smile, turning his gaze to the last demon god.
The other demons also looked over, clearly indicating that this demon held a pivotal position among them.
They all followed his lead, waiting for this demon god to nod in approval.
The last demon god shrouded in shadow remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "That Golden Crow is critically injured and on the verge of death; it can be killed at any moment."
"I have other plans now. I'll go to the Purple Heaven Palace first. From my observation, Hongjun has also suffered severe injuries and is currently in a weakened state."
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to kill Hongjun and usurp the Heavenly Dao!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining six demon gods were stunned, their faces filled with shock. This idea was bold and risky, but if it succeeded, the rewards would be immense.
Then we can also take down Ling Xiao's Chaos Green Lotus, achieving the best of both worlds.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Let's do it this way!" The God of Time smiled leisurely, expressing his deep approval. He simply loved this Gao Ming design.
Being straightforward is meaningless.
Things that are easily obtained are not enough to impress him.
"Let's make this clear first, I will be the one to cut off the Old Earthworm's head!" The Slaughter Demon God was only interested in killing, and the thought of killing a powerful figure like Hongjun filled him with immense excitement.
"I'm fine with anything, but how should the profits be distributed in the end?" the Chaos Demon God asked in a deep voice. They didn't come here to kill for fun; ultimately, it was for profit.
"We'll distribute the spoils after things are done. It's too early to talk about that now. I hope everyone can work together. If I find anyone not following the rules..."
"The only outcome is death!"
The Shadow Demon God spoke coldly, and upon hearing this, all the demon gods couldn't help but shiver and dared not ask any more questions.
"That's settled then. Let's get started without further ado!" Yang Mei said with a smile, trying to ease the tension.
His original intention was only to obtain the Jade Plate of Creation; the Chaos Green Lotus was secondary. However, now that they have seven demon gods, problems are bound to arise in the final distribution.
If the Shadow Demon God's plan succeeds, he still has a good chance of monopolizing the Jade Plate of Creation.
After all, among all the demon gods, he was only the Shadow Demon God.
"Move!" The Shadow Demon God uttered two words, and all the demon gods instantly moved, heading towards the Purple Heaven Palace.
Purple Heaven Palace.
Hongjun sat cross-legged on the Nine-Layer Cloud Bed, quietly regulating his breathing and meditating. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.
"Damn you! You actually sealed away a portion of my magic power!"
His face was grim, and his killing intent towards Ling Xiao surged within him.
Hongjun did not expect that when Ling Xiao sealed the Heavenly Dao, he was also affected. As a result, he realized that after breaking free from the Heavenly Dao, a part of the seal remained in his body, which directly affected his own magical power.
He attempted to refine it, but found it extremely difficult, requiring a price and a very long time.
After his initial shock and anger subsided, Hongjun's expression gradually calmed, becoming devoid of both sorrow and joy.
Ling Xiao's sealing of most of the Heavenly Dao's power is both a bad thing and a good thing for him.
There is a lot of room for maneuver here.
Ultimately, he could even thank Ling Xiao, for the greatest gratitude being for sending him to annihilation, freeing him from the torment of Dao injuries.
"Trying to seal the Heavenly Dao at your own cost will only lead to your demise due to the backlash from the Heavenly Dao!"
Hongjun thought to himself, a cold smile flashing in his eyes. Ling Xiao had suffered severe Dao injuries in order to seal the Heavenly Dao, and was probably just barely clinging to life, with the possibility of perishing at any moment.
In other words, he could kill Ling Xiao with one hand right now.
Hongjun felt a surge of murderous intent and wanted to take this opportunity to wipe them all out.
But he still had some hesitation. Ling Xiao, that cunning villain, might have a backup plan. What if he were to place another seal on him? Wouldn't that lead to a major disaster?
"Let me test the waters!"
Hongjun did not act rashly, but consumed two strands of Heavenly Dao Origin to revive Jieyin Zhun Ti.
Then they summoned the Three Pure Ones, who were waiting outside, into the room.
Correcting his expression, Hongjun regained the detached and otherworldly demeanor of the Dao Ancestor.
A short while later, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Sages approached, clasped their hands in a respectful bow, and performed the traditional disciple's salute.
"Disciple greets Master, wishing you boundless blessings and peace!"
"No need for formalities!" Hongjun said calmly, without any sadness or joy, without the slightest sign of anything unusual, just as usual.
This puzzled the saints. The Dao Ancestor had run away so fast and looked so disheveled before, which was completely different from his current state!
Did the teachers not suffer the severe blow they thought they had?
If not, then why run?
They dared not ask this question and could only keep it to themselves; the Dao Ancestor's current demeanor reassured them somewhat.
His face still screamed invincibility.
After exchanging greetings, Laozi eagerly spoke first, earnestly saying:
"Master! My foundation has been damaged, and I am on the verge of collapse. Please have mercy and lend me a hand."
This was the first time Laozi had been so sincere since becoming a disciple of the Dao Ancestor. It was a critical moment, and he could not afford to be careless.
Upon hearing this, Hongjun remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "No rush. I already have a plan for your foundation."
"There are more urgent and important things I need to assign you!"
