The Demon Emperor Spat Blood from a Single Palm Strike; the Gu Clan Showed Its Overbearing Might

"That terrifying presence... it seems to be an ultimate imperial weapon of the Myriad Demon Divine Court!"

"And that other world-destroying force... came from the Gu Clan?!"

The vast force of the ultimate imperial weapon and that terrifying, sky-spanning palm print.

Had even alerted countless surrounding Dao domains.

Numerous mighty experts had turned their attention to the Gu Clan.

They saw Lu Jue confronting the Gu Clan with an ultimate imperial weapon.

"Has the Myriad Demon Divine Court gone mad?"

"How dare he bring an ultimate imperial weapon to the Gu Clan in the Northern Nether Dao Domain and run wild!"

"I heard Lu Jue's son died, and the Gu Clan's divine son was involved."

"Lu Jue has lived all these years, yet he's still so impulsive."

"His son's dead, so why not have another? Is it worth throwing his own life away?"

As the mighty experts watched in secret.

The sky-spanning palm print, overwhelming and tyrannical, came crashing down in an instant!

Boom-

An earthshaking crash erupted.

The Demon Emperor Bell rang in rapid, violent peals, and even much of the chaotic divine light was scattered by the blow!

The next moment.

The void shattered layer after layer.

Even though the Demon Emperor Bell's defenses were unparalleled.

The Demon Emperor was still slapped straight into the void.

A moment later.

The Heavenly Demon Dao Domain.

The void ten thousand feet above the Myriad Demon Divine Court suddenly shattered.

The Demon Emperor appeared, then was slammed deep into the earth!

Rumble-

The void shook, heaven and earth trembled, and sand and stones flew everywhere!

The Myriad Demon Divine Court's many magnificent halls and lavish divine palaces were reduced to ruins in an instant!

The countless mighty experts of the Demon Race inside.

Had no time to escape before they joined the buildings on the road to the Yellow Springs.

The sight caused an uproar across countless Dao domains.

The mighty experts watching in secret were all struck by deep dread and shock.

With a single palm strike, Lu Jue had been sent from the Northern Nether Dao Domain all the way back to the Heavenly Demon Dao Domain.

The one who had just struck was absolutely an existence beyond a Great Emperor!

They had not expected the Gu Clan to have remained quiet and kept a low profile in recent years.

Yet its foundation was still so formidable and profound, showing no sign of weakening.

It could casually bring out an existence beyond a Great Emperor!

The mighty experts of the various major factions felt even greater apprehension and awe toward the Gu Clan.

The Gu Clan was absolutely not to be provoked lightly!

The Heavenly Demon Dao Domain.

The Myriad Demon Divine Court, more than half of which had been destroyed.

Amid a pile of rubble.

The Demon Emperor flew out, looking battered and miserable, his face dark.

He looked at the Demon Emperor Bell in his hand, which was now covered in countless cracks.

There was no anger left on his face, only resentment and lingering fear.

Even with the Demon Emperor Bell protecting him.

That palm strike had nearly killed him and extinguished his Dao.

The Demon Emperor Bell had also suffered severe damage because of it.

Before long.

An old Golden Crow ancestor of the Demon Race with an incomparably powerful presence appeared before the Demon Emperor.

The old ancestor's face was full of anger as he berated him.

"Who told you to provoke the Gu Clan!? Do you know what you're doing?!"

The Demon Emperor's expression was ugly, his face twisted.

"They killed my son. Was I supposed to swallow my anger and say nothing?"

The old ancestor snorted coldly.

"Even so, you shouldn't have been so impulsive!

The fate of the countless demons in our Myriad Demon Divine Court rests on you.

One careless move, and we'll be doomed beyond redemption!"

The Demon Emperor laughed in anger. "It wasn't your son who died, so of course you don't care!"

"You!"

The old ancestor flew into a rage.

"Since you're so unyielding, find a way to clean up the mess you made yourself!"

The old ancestor then swept his sleeves and left.

The Demon Emperor watched his departing back with a cold gaze.

"You old fossils...

If I get the chance, you'll be the first ones I deal with!"

Those old men held their positions and drew their pay for nothing. They were useless when it mattered and only knew how to blame others afterward.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The Demon Emperor raised his eyes to the shattered sky, a cold glint flashing in them!

"Gu Clan, this isn't over!"

Meanwhile, at the Gu Clan.

Inside the ancestral shrine, which formed a world of its own.

Several supreme existences who seemed to have transcended this world appeared to be calmly discussing the matter.

Mysterious, weighty presences surrounded them, while laws circled them in submission.

"Ninth.

That old bird dared to come and provoke our Gu Clan. Why didn't you kill him just now?

I know that ultimate imperial weapon couldn't have stopped you."

"Suizhi, why are you still as hot-tempered as you were tens of thousands of years ago?"

The Ninth Ancestor smiled helplessly.

"Our Gu Clan has two.

Ancient freaks who have been sleeping since the Desolate Ancient Era and the Primordial Era.

They are about to awaken in the Heavenly Demon Dao Domain.

There are also some other prodigies with no less talent.

Who are training in the Heavenly Demon Dao Domain.

For now, this is only a personal grudge with Lu Jue. The others in the Myriad Demon Divine Court won't interfere.

But if I'd killed Lu Jue just now.

We would have completely broken with the entire Myriad Demon Divine Court.

If the Myriad Demon Divine Court went mad.

It might first slaughter our Gu Clan's prodigies and monstrous talents.

That would be no small loss."

The others spoke up at this point.

"In that case.

Let's have all the prodigies and monstrous talents training in the Heavenly Demon Dao Domain return to the Gu Clan first."

Gu Suizhi snorted softly.

"That Demon Emperor Lu Jue definitely won't let this go.

Once those prodigies and monstrous talents return.

Why don't we go straight to the Myriad Demon Divine Court and wipe it out?

As the saying goes.

Strike first to gain the upper hand; strike later and suffer!

Rather than sit and wait for them to come knocking, why don't we take the initiative?!"

The Ninth Ancestor smiled wryly.

"There's no rush.

Let's wait until Jin'er returns from that inheritance site.

Jin'er's parents have gone to his maternal grandfather's birthday banquet.

Right now, the little fellow Jin'er has the final say in the Gu Clan."

"That works too."

The Myriad Demon Divine Court was a hegemonic power that dominated an entire Dao domain.

The Golden Crows were far from the only ancient imperial clan within it.

There were also many other top-tier demon clans, including the Kunpeng and the Azure Lions!

Yet the Gu Clan paid them no mind at all.

If the conversation between these people were to get out.

Many jaws would surely drop again.

Outside, as the Gu Clan's mysterious mighty expert nearly killed the Demon Emperor with a single palm strike.

And caused numerous factions to tremble.

The Youxuan Dao Domain.

Inside the Quasi-Emperor's inheritance site.

The mighty experts of the human and demon races who were searching for the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle suddenly changed expression.

When Gu Beimo and the other three Peak Quasi-Emperor experts dealt with Lu Jun's Dao protector.

The powerful force they gave off.

Was also sensed by the mighty experts present.

The human mighty experts from the True Martial Immortal Palace and the other factions breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although they did not know which major power the newcomers belonged to.

The presences of those Quasi-Emperors were indeed human.

The demon mighty experts from the Myriad Demon Divine Court and the other factions.

Sensed the Quasi-Emperor experts who had entered afterward.

And realized they clearly did not belong to the Demon Race.

Their expressions turned ugly.

Originally, the Demon Race had twelve Quasi-Emperors on its side, while the True Martial Immortal Palace's side had only ten.

By comparison, the Demon Race had held the advantage.

But now, four human Peak Quasi-Emperor experts had arrived at once.

The situation seemed to have turned against them in an instant!

The three mighty experts of the Golden Crow clan among them also sensed that their Third Prince had fallen!

Their expressions all changed drastically in an instant.

The Third Prince had fallen?!

Even his Quasi-Emperor Realm Dao protector had died!

Those mighty experts of the Golden Crow clan.

Immediately turned angry gazes on the human mighty experts from the True Martial Immortal Palace and the other factions.

"You humans are despicable! You actually had Quasi-Emperor Realm experts gang up to kill our clan's prodigy!"

A mighty expert from the True Martial Immortal Palace snorted coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"We've been searching for that thing ever since we came in. How would we have had time to concern ourselves with your prodigies?"

"If you want to fight now, we'll see it through to the end!"

The atmosphere immediately grew tense, like drawn swords and cocked crossbows.

The two sides looked ready to come to blows.

Fortunately, people on both sides urged restraint, and they did not immediately fight.

The gazes of the Golden Crow clan's mighty experts were icy.

"Don't think a few extra Peak Quasi-Emperor helpers give you the right to run wild!"

"Once we find the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle, we'll settle this properly!"

They had already made up their minds.

Once they found the bottle.

They would join forces with the other demons.

They could simply summon a few Great Emperors and have them suppress and kill all these human Quasi-Emperors here!

Meanwhile.

In the great hall where Gu Xuanjin and the others were.

Tears slowly slid from Lü Yifei's eyes for the first time in a long while.

He had slain his enemy with his own hands and taken his long-awaited revenge.

Yet there was not a trace of joy in his heart.

His A-Yuan would never come back.

Gu Xuanjin said nothing more.

He simply let Lü Yifei remain quietly immersed in his own world.

After a long while.

Lü Yifei wiped away his tears and let out a turbid breath, seemingly at peace.

The knot in his heart had come undone.

The power of the Ghost God around him grew even denser.

After composing himself.

Lü Yifei came to Gu Xuanjin's side, knelt, and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, Divine Son, for allowing Yifei to take his revenge!"

"From now on, whatever the Divine Son commands, Yifei will not so much as frown!"

He had made those three kowtows with wholehearted sincerity.

If he had never met Gu Xuanjin.

Even if he had been fortunate enough to recover his cultivation, he could not have killed Lu Jun.

He would even have thrown his life away in vain.

Because Lu Jun had a protector at the Quasi-Emperor Realm by his side!

Gu Xuanjin reached out a hand, and invisible sword intent helped Lü Yifei to his feet.

"For now, there isn't much I need you to do."

"Cultivate diligently. Do not disappoint me."

Lü Yifei said solemnly, "Rest assured, Divine Son. Yifei will not fail to live up to your expectations!"

Gu Xuanjin nodded slightly.

Then he turned his calm gaze toward the eerie coffin suspended in midair.
