Chapter 28: By Order of the Human Ancestor, the Punished Tribe of the Human Race, King Lan, Appears!
In fact, the previous great battle involving Zhongshan Shi, Yi Zi, and others had completely ignited the fighting spirit of Taihao, Emperor Yan, and the others.
The latter did not know the origins of Zhongshan Shi and his companions.
Therefore, they could only assume they were reclusive cultivators who had remained hidden.
Now, with the human race facing a catastrophe, they had emerged from seclusion by order of the Human Ancestor to fight.
Such individuals were willing to spare no effort for the human race, fighting to the death.
And since Taihao and the others enjoyed the reverence of the human race, what reason did they have to retreat and not fight?
The fervor and pride of the human race surged, leading Taihao to declare, "The human race is destined by heaven; who dares to bully us?"
Therefore, Taihao directly requested to join the battle and assist Zhongshan Shi and his companions.
Following this, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Zhuanxu also reacted, bowing and making similar requests.
"We beg the Human Ancestor to permit us to fight!"
Upon hearing Taihao and the others' words, Zhou Yuan calmly glanced at them.
It seems they've really gotten carried away.
Fighting against Di Jun and the others now would be no different from seeking death.
Zhou Yuan knew clearly that only the returning powerhouses of the human race might have a chance to contend with Di Jun and his ilk.
Thus, he did not agree to Taihao and the others' request.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Yuan softly said:
"There is no need for such urgency, everyone. This seat has its own considerations!"
He could not let Taihao and the others go to their deaths in vain.
Pausing, Zhou Yuan continued to give instructions:
"You may temporarily dispatch your strongest subordinates into the Primordial World."
"Each of you will guard a human tribe, preventing the Demon Race from resorting to desperate measures."
Zhou Yuan's considerations were quite thorough.
Although Di Jun had descended, it would likely be difficult for him to defeat Zhongshan Shi in a short period.
After all, Zhongshan Shi was an invincible existence in another world.
Therefore, these top powerhouses could continue to face off against each other.
The most important thing was to prevent the Demon Race from taking advantage of the situation to attack ordinary humans.
Zhou Yuan clearly explained the stakes involved.
Taihao and the others nodded repeatedly.
They understood that Zhou Yuan was right.
No longer dwelling on it, they dispersed and each dispatched their subordinates to protect the human race.
Having done all this, Zhou Yuan continued to sense the situation in Huoyun Palace.
Meanwhile, in Huoyun Palace!
"Zhongshan Shi, although I do not know exactly who you are."
"However, by shattering the physical body of my Great Sage of the Demon Race today, you have made an enemy of the Heavenly Court."
"If you cease your actions now and submit to my Heavenly Court, I will let bygones be bygones!"
Di Jun, clad in a radiant Daoist robe, fluttered as if stirred by a wind, rustling loudly.
His entire being exuded a grand aura of one who commanded the universe.
He looked down at Zhongshan Shi and his companions, his gaze sharp, his words indifferent.
His tone seemed merciful, offering Zhongshan Shi and the others a chance to repent.
Zhongshan Shi scoffed, looking directly at Di Jun and saying:
"In this world, the only one worthy of my submission is the Human Ancestor!"
"Who do you think you are, to speak to me in such a manner?"
Hearing Zhongshan Shi's words, Di Jun's expression suddenly darkened.
"Arrogant!"
"Do you not know that beyond the heavens there are heavens, and beyond men there are men?"
"If you refuse to repent, I, this Heavenly Emperor, will surely turn you to dust."
Di Jun inadvertently shifted from referring to himself as "this seat" to "this Heavenly Emperor,"
hoping to intimidate Zhongshan Shi and his companions with his title.
However, he had underestimated Zhongshan Shi and the other three.
In their original world, the four of them had all experienced countless storms and were supreme prodigies capable of changing the very heavens.
So why would they care about a mere threat from Di Jun?
Zhongshan Shi remained resolute, angrily denouncing Di Jun.
"As the Heavenly Emperor, you should have compassion for all beings and treat them equally!"
"Maintain the order of the heavens and reduce worldly karmic retribution from killing."
"Yet you condone the Demon Race's atrocities. You are unworthy of your position, how can you call yourself Heavenly Emperor?"
Although Zhongshan Shi was posing a rhetorical question, his words were filled with undisguised mockery.
This time, Di Jun finally flew into a rage.
"Sharp-tongued!"
With a furious roar, Di Jun's figure flickered, and he directly plunged into the fray.
He unleashed the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique, transforming into a streaking light that moved unpredictably.
Di Jun then evolved the Life and Death Great Technique, enveloping the four of them!
Despite his strong words, Zhongshan Shi did not dare to underestimate Di Jun.
He immediately met the attack, clashing head-on with Di Jun's might.
The battle between Quasi-Saints was world-shattering!
Di Jun and Zhongshan Shi!
These two could be considered the strongest among the Quasi-Saint realm in this era.
Therefore, their great battle stirred up immense ripples in the void.
Magnificent and unpredictable waves!
Above the nine heavens, tribulation light spread for thousands of miles, vast and boundless across the universe.
The sheer scale of the spectacle was enough to instill fear and make one's hair stand on end!
This was a collision of Daoist Magic, a contest of laws!
With a mere thought, the two could manifest countless chains of order, stretching across the void.
"Clang..."
The sound of clashing metal echoed, piercing through gold and shattering stone, deafening to the ears!
The laws they wielded seemed to materialize, displaying astonishing resilience and power.
Plucking stars and drawing the moon!
Burning mountains and filling seas!
Terrifying scenes that resembled the end of the world were conjured effortlessly by both of them.
At this moment, all living beings finally understood.
It turned out that Zhongshan Shi had not unleashed his full strength in his previous battle against Fuxi.
Only now, facing a true powerhouse, did he reveal such terrifying combat prowess.
All living beings gasped in disbelief!
"The Human Race... is quite something..."
Such thoughts surged through the minds of countless powerful beings.
Meanwhile, in the arena, Zhongshan Shi and Di Jun continued their fierce battle.
Great mountains collapsed, turning into dust in an instant.
The four seas churned, raising monstrous waves.
The Primordial World trembled, and the Chaos universe was shaken.
The terror of Quasi-Saints was fully displayed.
In the midst of the battle, Di Jun suddenly waved his hand.
"Mountain River Society Map, appear!"
As his voice fell, a treasure materialized, swelling against the wind, evolving into a scene of mountains, rivers, all things, the universe, and stars.
The Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain River Society Map, contained a universe within!
Zhou Yuan, who had been closely monitoring the situation, saw this and his pupils contracted sharply.
"Nuwa, you finally couldn't help yourself, could you?"
Zhou Yuan sneered, speaking with hatred.
The Mountain River Society Map was originally Nuwa's possession, and she had clearly bestowed it upon Di Jun to aid him in battle.
Although she had not appeared directly, Nuwa had already intervened in today's battle.
As for Di Jun, he now wielded the Mountain River Society Map, evolving another world.
