No matter what, today was a battle between the powerful figures of the human race and the demon race.
It had nothing to do with ordinary living beings!
And the Ten Golden Crows' actions were truly despicable!
Great Emperor Yuanshi roared furiously and threw a fist that dominated heaven and earth, intending to thoroughly destroy the Ten Golden Crows.
"How dare you!"
Di Jun's eyes nearly split open in rage.
The Ten Golden Crows carried the Heavenly Court's legacy and were also Di Jun's most beloved ten sons.
Naturally, he could not allow them to fall.
With a furious shout, Di Jun ignored everything else and hurriedly transformed into a streak of light, blocking Great Emperor Yuanshi's attack.
Di Jun directly took Great Emperor Yuanshi's strike.
His body was sent flying, leaving him in a miserable and wretched state!
However, Di Jun was desperate to protect his sons. Though he had already suffered grave injuries, he immediately reacted.
He stood firm once more and activated the Cosmic Star Array to protect the Ten Golden Crows.
"Yuanshi Bell!"
Seeing Di Jun's actions, Great Emperor Yuanshi shouted softly.
The treasure was connected to its master by heart and will. The Yuanshi Bell immediately flew up and hung above the nine heavens.
The bell rang, resounding through heaven and earth!
An exceedingly terrifying pressure surged forth, directly preventing the Cosmic Star Array from displaying its might.
At the same time, waves of vast power poured forth, enveloping the Ten Golden Crows.
The Ten Golden Crows were completely restrained, and even the True Sun Fire could no longer reveal any of its power.
At that moment, the Ten Golden Crows also shrieked without end. Massive soundwaves, sharp enough to pierce gold and split stone, swept outward and made everyone shudder.
They stood at the very center of the Yuanshi Bell's pressure.
They felt waves of terrifying force, as vast as an ocean, crashing down upon them.
Wave after wave of agonizing pain surged through their bodies, enough to drive one mad.
"Ah! Father, save us!"
In an instant, the Ten Golden Crows all cried out.
Only then did they realize how reckless and childish their act of Ten Suns Across the Sky had been.
Before an expert like Great Emperor Yuanshi, they had no power to resist whatsoever.
The might of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon was truly terrifying!
"Yuanshi, this one's opponent is me."
"Do not lay a hand on this one's ten sons!"
Seeing this, Di Jun was beside himself with grief and rage as he shouted loudly.
Yuanshi replied with a cold sneer:
"Hmph! Anyone who attacks my human race is the human race's sworn enemy!"
"You brutal creatures slaughtered the human race."
"Today, this one will make you experience the human race's despair and grief!"
As his words fell, Great Emperor Yuanshi's thoughts stirred.
The Yuanshi Bell descended directly, seeking to envelop the Ten Golden Crows.
This sight filled the Ten Golden Crows with utter terror.
Unable to care about anything else, they all ignited their essence blood and unleashed tremendous potential.
Yet they were not doing so to fight Great Emperor Yuanshi.
Rather, they were doing so to flee.
By then, the Ten Golden Crows understood that they and Great Emperor Yuanshi were simply not on the same level.
However, even though they burned their essence blood at all costs, two of the Golden Crows still reacted a fraction too slowly.
Shu Kun, Ji Xing!
They were Di Jun's third and fourth sons.
At that moment, the Yuanshi Bell let out a thunderous, muffled boom.
Then, the bodies of the two Golden Crows, Shu Kun and Ji Xing, exploded, their fleshly bodies completely annihilated.
"Ah..."
Having lost two sons, Di Jun was maddened by grief and hatred.
Enduring a terrifying pressure from the Yuanshi Bell, he leaped into the battlefield.
"Shu Kun! Ji Xing!"
Di Jun cried out the names of his two sons, pushing his divine sense to its limit as he searched for their auras.
After a long while, he reached out and seized two faint, flickering divine lights.
They were the remnants of Shu Kun and Ji Xing's true spirits.
Even if they could be revived through them, it would be incomparably difficult.
Moreover, after suffering such devastating injuries, the foundations of their Great Dao had been damaged. They would likely never recover their former peak cultivation.
"Yuanshi, I will fight you to the death!"
The demon race had been forced into such a state today, and Di Jun was consumed by hatred and rage.
With a furious roar, he looked coldly at Yuanshi, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.
Seeing Di Jun like this, Yuanshi sneered inwardly, utterly disdainful.
Even when Di Jun had used all his strength earlier, he had found it difficult to pose any threat to him.
Not to mention that Di Jun's state of mind was now in disarray.
Even if they continued fighting, he would only be seeking his own death.
"Hahaha! What do I have to fear?!"
Perhaps believing that the human race's calamity of slaughter had been resolved, Great Emperor Yuanshi laughed heartily.
Then he charged forward to meet Di Jun, clashing head-on with his sharp edge.
The battle erupted once more.
Heaven-shaking and earth-moving!
All living beings knew that this might be the final battle between the human race and the demon race.
After all, Great Emperor Yuanshi, Lan Biwang, and the others possessed cultivation that overshadowed the ages and sought to completely exterminate the demon race.
Di Jun was the same. Two of his most beloved sons had fallen, leaving behind only threads of their true spirits.
This made his killing intent surge even more violently!
There could be no reconciliation between the two sides; it was a struggle to the death.
Countless great experts and mighty figures, as well as the saints, watched in secret with solemn expressions.
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages likewise wore anxious and grave expressions.
In truth, all living beings were somewhat puzzled as well.
Logically speaking, with Di Jun and the Ten Golden Crows trapped in such desperate straits, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the others should have appeared long ago to join the battle.
However, they simply could not intervene to aid Di Jun.
The reason was simple: Di Jun had been able to wield the power of the Cosmic Star Array alone earlier only because countless demon race experts within the Heavenly Court had acted to set up the grand formation.
They had then bestowed the formation's power upon Di Jun alone.
If Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the others abandoned the formation and intervened directly now,
then Di Jun and the Ten Golden Crows would certainly die!
Meanwhile, outside Huoyun Palace.
Zhongshan Shi and the others stiffened as they received a divine-sense transmission.
"Kill Fuxi and restore clear skies to the human race!"
Upon hearing this, Zhongshan Shi, Yi Zi, and the others froze before immediately understanding.
Then, they all revealed astonishing killing intent and stared at Fuxi with cold, sharp eyes.
Fuxi Trapped in a Desperate Situation, the Saints Finally Descended!
"Kill Fuxi and restore clear skies to the human race!"
This divine-sense transmission was precisely Zhou Yuan's order to Zhongshan Shi and the others.
Zhou Yuan knew that after this battle, the human race could no longer live as peacefully and uneventfully in the Primordial World as it had before.
Even if the human race made no move, it would inevitably become irreconcilable with the demon race in the future, locked in a struggle to the death.
