Chapter 767: The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts

With a thunderous dragon roar, countless bolts of lightning erupted from the golden dragon\'s head, shooting straight into the purple sky. The vast purple sky that covered Lingxiao Heavenly Court flashed with lightning as if responding to the golden dragon. Then, numerous bolts of lightning were redirected back to the golden dragon.

"Boom——!"

A loud explosion sounded beyond the purple sky, and suddenly, countless beams of golden light appeared at its edges, as if being drawn in from all directions. This vast golden light passed through the purple sky, entering the golden dragon\'s horns and being absorbed by the dragon.

The purple sky gradually shrank. This sky belonged to Zhong Shan. He slowly retracted his \'sky,\' leaving behind a brilliant golden expanse high above. When the purple sky completely disappeared, the entire high sky was covered in golden light. This golden sky cast endless rays of light downwards, enveloping the golden dragon in a cocoon of golden light.

The golden sky appeared peculiar, as if it was not merely a gathering of luck but something more profound. The space seemed to distort, suggesting that this golden light originated from the Great Thousand World. Was Zhong Shan undergoing a celestial baptism? Was he ascending to a higher rank?

The Dazhen Empire awaited solemnly.

Above Lingxiao Heavenly Court, the golden light shone brilliantly. Meanwhile, on a distant mountain peak, a group of black-robed figures appeared.

"Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, who will strike first?" one of the black-robed figures asked in a deep voice.

The black-robed figures all looked at the slightly thin man in the center.

"At this point, what\'s there to argue about? Dazhen must be destroyed. Can one person make that much of a difference? Remember the rumors we\'ve heard over the years? Dazhen is not easily broken," the leader, the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, said coldly.

"Zhong Shan cannot intervene right now. We must seize this moment!" the previous speaker insisted.

"Don\'t worry. The ascension ceremony has just begun. It will take at least a day for Dazhen to ascend. In this day, we can accomplish much. I\'ve already arranged everything on my end. We will soon begin the assault on Lingxiao Heavenly Court," the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts replied.

"And then? Establish our own imperial dynasty?"

"And then? Why bother? With the leader of the Tianmo Sect here, do we need to establish another dynasty?" the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts sneered.

"Oh?"

"The Small Thousand World occasionally encounters Tianmo demons, but they do not understand the intricacies of our methods. They don\'t know the secret techniques of the Great Thousand World. Dazhen Heavenly Dynasty? We don\'t have to destroy it; we can control it," the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said.

"Control it?" someone asked in surprise.

"Yes. Once we control Dazhen, we can gradually take it over. When the time comes, I will be the emperor, and you all will hold high positions. How does that sound? It\'s much more interesting than each of us establishing our own dynasties. Moreover, with the mysterious techniques of the Great Thousand World, we could even unify this world. Wouldn\'t it be better if we were the ones to create a new era?" the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said in a deep voice.

"Can we really do that?"

"Why not? This Small Thousand World has already shown signs of a new era. If we unify this world, who else could contest us?" the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts declared.

"Good!" "Good!" The group of black-robed figures unanimously agreed.

Above Lingxiao Heavenly Court, in front of the Hall of Longevity

The key officials of Dazhen gazed devoutly at the sky, patiently awaiting the lengthy ascension process.

Suddenly, the Clay Bodhisattva\'s pupils contracted.

"Everyone!" he called out.

The ministers turned to look at him.

"The fox is finally showing its tail," the Clay Bodhisattva said calmly.

"Oh?" Yi Yan looked at the Clay Bodhisattva.

"Two years ago, I evacuated everyone from beneath Lingxiao Heavenly Court and set up a trigger array. The opponent has activated it. The first wave is a wave of feng shui," the Clay Bodhisattva said, narrowing his eyes.

Beneath Lingxiao Heavenly Court, violent winds suddenly rose from all directions, turning the environment extremely harsh. The wind came from the south, accompanied by a roaring sound.

The Clay Bodhisattva and others quickly flew to the South Heavenly Gate.

Standing at the South Heavenly Gate, they looked southward.

In the distance, it appeared as if a vast ocean was rushing toward them. Giant waves destroyed mountain peaks one after another. The immense flood quickly submerged peak after peak, and the water seemed to be contained by some special barrier, directing it solely towards the area beneath Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

The water level rose higher and higher, reminiscent of the time when Hao Meili led the dragon clan to flood the Twelve Cities of Linhai.

"Such a huge flood. Xiao Jin, summon the dragon clan to push back the water!" Hao Meili called to the little golden dragon on her shoulder.

"No need," the Clay Bodhisattva suddenly shook his head.

"Why?" Hao Meili raised an eyebrow.

"This is not real water. It is a derivative world flood. The water itself is not frightening, but the derivative world that aims to engulf all of Lingxiao Heavenly Court is. Once this derivative world envelops us, we will be completely submerged," Tianlao explained.

"Indeed, this is a derivative world pushing towards us," the Clay Bodhisattva added with a cold smile.

"What should we do then?" Hao Meili asked, frowning.

"Don\'t worry, the Wheel Palace is ready," the Clay Bodhisattva said calmly.

He performed a hand seal and cast it into the void.

"Boom——!"

Suddenly, a massive palace rose from the ground, surrounded by an eerie aura, as if it were from the underworld.

"The Netherworld Wheel Palace?" Tianlao\'s eyes lit up.

"Yes, the same feng shui array I used when we fought," the Clay Bodhisattva nodded.

As the enormous Wheel Palace appeared, a gray region emerged in the east, and the ground forming a circle around the palace began to slowly rotate. As it turned, the gray region in the east gradually shifted to the south.

Seeing this, Tianlao smiled with a sense of satisfaction, as if he already knew the outcome.

On a distant southern mountain peak, the group of Great Thousand World visitors watched a young man casting spells not far away.

The young man held several water-like threads in his hand, connected to the massive flood before him.

"Are you trying to resist my water?" the young man sneered, his fingers moving deftly, causing the water threads to twist and churn the flood with greater ferocity.

Suddenly, the gray mist from the Wheel Palace extended toward the flood, wrapping around the water and beginning to neutralize its force. The floodwaters, which had seemed unstoppable, began to slow, as if losing their momentum.

The black-robed figures observed with intense interest, knowing that this battle of magical power and strategy was just beginning.

"How is it going, Lei Jiutian?" the leader, the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, frowned.

"Almost there. My derivative world is closing in on Lingxiao Heavenly Court. Once it\'s enveloped, Dazhen will be at our mercy," Lei Jiutian replied.

"Hmm, but be cautious. Dazhen also has feng shui masters," the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts warned.

"I saw that. There\'s a palace over there, shrouded in yin energy. Placing an underworld palace in the yang world? Such a grave mistake. It shows how lacking their feng shui knowledge is in this Small Thousand World," Lei Jiutian sneered.

The floodwaters continued to rush towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court. As they neared the Clay Bodhisattva\'s array, the gray region from the east began to intersect with the flood.

A strange phenomenon occurred. Wherever the gray region touched, the water began to flow backward, as if it was afraid of the gray area.

"What\'s happening? What is that?" Lei Jiutian\'s pupils contracted.

But the next scene made Lei Jiutian even more alarmed. The gray region seemed to contaminate the water, turning it murky and polluted.

"Whoosh!"

The strange murkiness shot towards Lei Jiutian. His eyes widened in horror as the murkiness reached him through the water threads he controlled.

"What is this?" Lei Jiutian gasped in fear.

The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts and the others stepped back.

"Ah! It\'s life contamination!" Lei Jiutian screamed.

As Lei Jiutian screamed, the others retreated further, watching in horror as his hair turned white and his once smooth skin became wrinkled and aged.

Life contamination, a dreaded technique used by the Clay Bodhisattva and Tianlao in their first battle. It could corrupt a person\'s destiny, aging Lei Jiutian rapidly. He couldn\'t escape its grasp.

Lei Jiutian\'s eyes bulged as he realized his fate. In a desperate move, he unleashed his fury.

"Explode!"

"Boom——!"

A massive explosion rocked the area as Lei Jiutian detonated his derivative world. The gray area of life contamination dissipated in the blast, but Lei Jiutian paid a steep price, collapsing immediately afterward.

No one dared to help him, fearing contamination. Once youthful, Lei Jiutian had turned into a withered old man, unable to move.

The others gathered around.

"Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, I... I broke their feng shui array, but I\'ve been contaminated. Use \'Purifying Dew\' to cleanse me. Quick, I only have half a stick of incense\'s worth of time left. I know you have it. Please, I beg you!" Lei Jiutian\'s old, trembling voice pleaded.

The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts looked at him coldly and shook his head. "Sorry, I don\'t have it."

"You!" Lei Jiutian looked at him in terror, his chest heaving until he stopped moving altogether, dying prematurely from rage.

No one showed any pity. Before joining forces, they had been strangers, with no bonds of affection.

"Alright, now that their feng shui array is broken, the rest will be easy," the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said, narrowing his eyes as he gazed into the distance.
