Fuxi nodded with a wry smile.
Nuwa sighed inwardly.
She knew that her elder brother was more inclined to join the Demon Court.
But now, they already understood the situation.
Nuwa could not allow her elder brother to leap into a pit of fire.
At that moment,
Dijun and Taiyi were both shocked and enraged.
Di Jiang raised his hand, intending to slay the two of them right there.
They were not the Three Pure Ones, blessed with the fortune of the world's creation.
Though they possessed some fortune, killing them would not be much of a problem.
Seeing Di Jiang's gesture, Dijun and Taiyi's expressions changed drastically.
Taiyi hurriedly sent a voice transmission:
"Big Brother!"
"We must use the Golden Crow Origin-Burning Art, or we will surely die at Di Jiang's hands today."
The Golden Crow Origin-Burning Art was the innate divine ability of the Golden Crow clan. It could sacrifice one's origin to temporarily raise one's strength.
Unless they had reached a life-or-death crisis, they would never use it.
Dijun clenched his teeth, fury filling his heart, before sending a voice transmission as well:
"Fine! Use it!"
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!"
Taiyi nodded.
Then, the two instantly used the Golden Crow Origin-Burning Art.
In an instant, they reverted to their true forms. Two enormous Golden Crows appeared, and blazing Solar True Fire scorched the void as though it would melt space itself.
"Screech—"
"Screech—"
Piercing cries rang out.
Then, the two gigantic Golden Crows soared into the sky, fanning terrifying Solar True Fire with their wings.
Dijun carried the five great Demon Sages and twelve Demon Gods, who had fallen unconscious within endless reincarnation illusions.
Taiyi, meanwhile, flapped his wings as he tried to take away the Chaos Bell, also known as the Eastern Sovereign Bell.
Seeing this, Di Jiang knew Dijun and Taiyi were prepared to risk everything. He understood the principle of not pursuing desperate foes, but they could leave—the Chaos Bell could not.
Immediately, vast spatial power wrapped around the Chaos Bell. The bell rang clang, clang, clang, trying to break free from Di Jiang's restraints.
But it was ultimately futile!
Taiyi, in his true form, kept screeching as he tried to rush forward and seize the Chaos Bell.
Seeing this, Dijun hurriedly sent a voice transmission:
"Second Brother! Do not act on impulse!"
"Leave at once!"
"Otherwise, we will both die here."
"The Chaos Bell is your companion spirit treasure. Di Jiang has no Primordial Spirit, so he cannot strip it away from you. Let us return to the Sun Star first and take it back later."
Taiyi was unwilling, but he knew his elder brother's words made sense.
Then, with a flap of their wings, they swiftly departed.
Their speed of escape was no less than Di Jiang's current speed when using spatial power!
The Chaos Bell let out mournful peals!
Holding the constantly clanging Chaos Bell in his hand, Di Jiang came before Mosquito Daoist.
By now, Mosquito Daoist was already dumbfounded with terror.
He had never expected Demon Emperor Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, both so powerful, to be unable to defeat Di Jiang.
Just how strong was Di Jiang?
Oh! Right!
Di Jiang had now broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm!
He could handle Dijun and Taiyi.
But Mosquito Daoist himself could not fight them!
If he ended up alone—
Wouldn't Dijun and Taiyi simply kill him?
At that thought, Mosquito Daoist shuddered involuntarily.
Di Jiang said calmly:
"Mosquito Daoist!"
"Have you made up your mind now?"
What was there left to consider?
Even Dijun and Taiyi had been frightened into fleeing.
Other than handing it over, what else could he do?
With that thought, Mosquito Daoist dropped to one knee and said to Di Jiang:
"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang! I am willing to serve you as my master and offer up the Primordial Spirit Treasure, the Book of Humanity!"
Other than submitting to Di Jiang, he could not think of any way to escape Dijun and Taiyi's deadly hands.
As he spoke, he summoned the Book of Humanity, raised it in both hands, and presented it before Di Jiang.
Seeing this, Di Jiang looked at Mosquito Daoist with a faintly amused smile. This Mosquito Daoist truly is clever. He knows he has offended Dijun and Taiyi.
If his own strength cannot rapidly improve, or if he cannot find a powerful protector, then his death will not be far away.
When Mosquito Daoist saw that Di Jiang had not accepted the Book of Humanity, his heart pounded violently. He grew nervous. Could it be that there truly is no way out for me?
Di Jiang looked at him with a faint smile. After pondering for a moment, he nodded.
"Very well!"
"I shall accept you."
"But to prevent you from entertaining unnecessary thoughts, I will place a few measures upon you."
As he spoke, he activated the power of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror. With a wave of his hand, it entered Mosquito Daoist's sea of consciousness and Primordial Spirit—or, more precisely, his true spirit.
That mysterious power transformed into a terrifying restriction. Should Mosquito Daoist harbor any unnecessary thoughts, Di Jiang would immediately know.
And with a mere thought from Di Jiang, he could completely extinguish Mosquito Daoist's Primordial Spirit and true spirit.
Feeling that terrifying restriction within his Primordial Spirit and true spirit, Mosquito Daoist's face instantly filled with shock. His submission to Di Jiang had originally been only a temporary measure.
He had even planned to find a chance to betray Di Jiang, but now he had completely lost that opportunity.
Moreover, Di Jiang possessed such terrifying and mysterious power.
Mosquito Daoist shuddered and completely submitted to Di Jiang. Then he said respectfully:
"Mosquito Daoist pays respects to Master!"
Di Jiang said calmly, "Rise."
After Mosquito Daoist stood, he respectfully presented the Book of Humanity in his hands to Di Jiang.
"Master, this Book of Humanity—"
Di Jiang waved his hand and looked around.
Mosquito Daoist's submission caused the hidden Fuxi, Nuwa, and Ancestor Minghe to tremble with shock and unease.
Above Fuxi's head floated the Primordial Eight Trigrams, while the phantom of a compass in his eyes spun ceaselessly.
He was calculating just what kind of power Di Jiang had used!
But not long after he began, Fuxi suddenly spat out blood. His face immediately turned deathly pale as he said in alarm:
"I cannot calculate it!"
"How is that possible?!"
Nuwa was greatly startled as well and hurriedly asked:
"Brother, are you all right?"
Fuxi waved his hand. His expression shifted uncertainly as he slowly said:
"I am fine! Little Sister, Di Jiang carries great terror!"
"We must not provoke him lightly!"
Nuwa's expression turned horrified at his words.
To the southeast, Ancestor Minghe stood surrounded by the Primordial Spirit Treasures Yuantu and Abi. Seeing Mosquito Daoist submit to Di Jiang, he sharply drew in a breath.
He knew Mosquito Daoist. They had both originated from the Netherworld Blood Sea.
And Mosquito Daoist was not weak!
Yet he had now submitted to Di Jiang.
Just how powerful was Di Jiang?
Such thoughts filled their minds.
Yet Di Jiang's gaze swept over the surroundings as he said calmly:
"Three fellow Daoists!"
"After watching for so long, isn't it time for you to come out?"
Ming He, Fuxi, and Nuwa were all greatly startled. We were discovered?
After pondering for a moment, they each revealed themselves.
Di Jiang looked at them with a faintly amused smile.
He had discovered Nuwa and the others long ago when they approached.
Mosquito Daoist, however, was greatly alarmed.
There had actually been others lying in wait?
Could his master keep him safe?
No, wait! What was there to fear? His master had already broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm.
Ming He cupped his fists. "Fellow Daoist Di Jiang!"
Fuxi and Nuwa also cupped their fists. "Fellow Daoist Di Jiang!"
After returning the salute, Di Jiang looked at them with a faint smile and said:
"Three fellow Daoists!"
"Did you enjoy watching the show?"
"What? Do you want the Primordial Spirit Treasure, the Book of Humanity, in my possession?"
