Free Web NovelChapter 540: Chapter 273: Demon Country Ancestral Court! Imperial Expedition (Part 2)
Amidst momentary flashes, the massive Celestial Patrol Hall swiftly traversed across the boundless expanse.
It resembled the sun god’s chariot in ancient mythology, or the Lingxiao Palace of the Divine Emperor personally leading an expedition, enveloped in endless incense fragrance, fully displaying the ethereal way of illusion.
The Celestial Dao Body was stationed there, much like how Hongjun covertly resided in the Celestial Dao Authority. Although it held only a trace of Celestial Dao Will, it wielded the Incense Fire Dharma Realm Divine Dao, and the combination of the two was extraordinary.
I use my divine heart to replace the celestial heart.
I wield the Human Dao to govern the Celestial Dao.
Within this region, the Heaven and Earth’s Will evidently sensed Zheng Yi’s Celestial Dao Body’s dominion and majesty, encompassing an intangible fortune, rising mightily.
Where the Great Dao points, all others retreat.
The Outer Realm Demon Country twisted reality space, capable of concealing the cities of the Demon Country, much like the entrance to the Nine Netherworld Hell, scattered across the vastness of the land.
However, this time, as the Celestial Dao Body personally arrived, the Heaven and Earth’s Will was at its disposal, alongside the grand Celestial Patrol Hall flying through the sky, streams of golden lightning continuously flashed ahead like guiding markers, directing the Celestial Patrol Hall towards the most precise direction.
Along the way, the Five-Colored Five Elements Ghost Emperors took turns in action, their origins each occupying the Power of the Five Elements, though they served with bodies under the Incense and Candle Divine Dao, they could wield powers similar to Divine Dao Cultivators.
The Five Directions Ghost Emperor unleashed the Five Elements Power, with their colossal divine bodies, unleashing terrifying power, instantaneously demolishing one Demon City after another.
Also being annihilated were large numbers of Corpse People, demon fiends, and various other bizarre races and ghosts; to humans, these twisted and strange life forms were primitive and bloodthirsty.
But to the Doomsday World, to the will of this land’s consciousness, they were like tumors, growing and spreading across the earth.
Under the guidance of the Celestial Patrol Hall, the Five Directions Ghost Emperor rapidly demolished one Demon City after another, advancing towards the core city of the Outer Realm Demon Country.
...
Buzzing!
Amid towering mountains that pierced the clouds, a gigantic basin was embedded in the deepest part.
Thick black fog shrouded this sky, cold and ominous, spreading from the basin in all directions.
Heavy clouds concealed everything, from the outer world, utterly obscuring what possibly lay within.
Surrounded on three sides by ten-thousand-zhang high towering peaks, forming a massive barrier, completely enveloping the central basin.
Thick layers of black fog covered the land, once ventured inside, nothing could be seen, a darkness where not even a hand could be seen waving.
Yet, unexpectedly, within this darkness was where the headquarters of the entire Outer Realm Demon Country lay.
Beneath thick and dense clouds, four towering altars continuously spewed yin qi into the air, an icy aura circulated under the clouds, as if everything was about to freeze.
This city harbored the first-generational Corpse People during their growth phase, demon fiends, and various peculiar beings transformed into intelligent life forms.
But in commonality, these life forms were all twisted and mutated bodies, mysteriously infected, despite having gained intelligence, incompatible with the entire Doomsday World, like pathogens feeding on the life-source of this land.
Zheng Yi knew well in his heart, relying on the Celestial Prayer Skill of the Incense and Candle Divine Dao, he forcibly usurped the Power of Rules.
The true root of his success lay precisely in the presence of these tumors.
Evidently, the Celestial Dao or Gaia Consciousness of this place was persistently at a disadvantage in the conflict with the blood moon in the sky, repressed to the point of powerlessness, cornered until it allowed a little wolf cub like himself to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth.
Otherwise, judging by his current actions, without the blood moon’s restraint in the sky, the first to be crushed should have been the Celestial Dao Body, followed by the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, severing the root, extinguishing the Dao legacy.
Unfortunately, it now had no choice but to seek his aid.
Snatching from a tiger’s mouth, tightrope walking, naturally perilous to the extreme.
However, equally so, the profits were substantial.
A violent tremor shattered the stability of this Demon Country city, perceiving the arrival of a formidable enemy, the entire Demon City quaked.
Within the quivering black fog, colossal terrifying figures faintly emerged in the haze, the awful tide-like demonic power twisted reality space, relentlessly releasing dreadful and peculiar auras.
Amid the infinite roar of demonic qi, it was clear to see that within this Demon City, not only did the terrifying Corpse People reside, but various demon fiends mingled, forming a genuine Demon Country.
Indeed, the name of the Outer Realm Demon City was truly worthy of its reputation.
Conversely, humans here reduced to mere blood food, akin to the livestock they once used, holding even lower status, slaughtered at any moment, human corpses hung by the wayside, like pigs ready for butchering, glistening bare, evoking an eerie ghostly charm.
This was unrelated to belief or cruelty, but a war of races.
The victor lives, the vanquished perishes.
Irreconcilable coexistence.
But Zheng Yi’s gaze ultimately fell, looking beyond these bizarre scenes, through endless barriers, he saw the deep heart of the Demon City, a chain of divine temples.
The core temple enshrined bizarre altars.
There stood the altars of the Four Great Ancestral Spirits, the origin of the Demon Country’s birth, and the root of its belief.
The existence of the Ancestral Spirits determined that the Outer Realm Demon Country represented a civilization that began evolving and transforming in the conventional sense.
Even if this civilization was founded on death, even if it was twisted, from a dimensional perspective, it indeed birthed a new ecosystem of another form.
As the Corpse People, born from human corpses, mutated from zombies, already regarded as higher intelligent beings and this was precisely what the Doomsday Heavenly Dao couldn’t tolerate.
Because once a civilization of higher intelligence establishes, it is the most crucial step in seizing the rules of this world.
And among the zombies that evolved the fastest, from the birth of the light of wisdom, whether in speed, power, or other superpowers, these Corpse People already could easily crush human evolvers.
Thus able to continuously expand, establishing hundreds of cities for the Outer Realm Demon Country’s forces in a mere few decades, it inevitably became Zheng Yi’s thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh.
It could be said the Outer Realm Demon Country itself was a bug in this world.
Regrettably, it encountered Zheng Yi.
A far larger bug, able to traverse between the Doomsday World and Cultivation Realm.
Otherwise, there truly might be a chance the Corpse People would establish dominance, occupying this continent.
Completely trampling human civilization into the filthy mud, never to rise again.
...
Buzzing!
A low sound echoed, a huge shadow descended from above, seemingly to cover this entire realm.
The subtly wafting Celestial Patrol Hall, like the divine hall where Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage, suspended, surrounded by endless incense fragrance, paused over this Demon City.
Subsequently, an invisible pressure bore down from the heavens.
The surging wind scattered the surrounding thick fog, faintly revealing the sight of the capital within the Outer Realm Demon Country.
In an instant, what fell into one’s eyes was the multitude of human remains, countless human corpses hanging after death, distributed around the city wall like piglets.
The sheer number made one’s scalp tingle.
More bones piled like mountains, countless human skins fluttered on flagpoles, making a sizzling sound in the wind.
And on the city gate roads, all covered in black hair, innumerable strands intertwined, forming almost like a carpet.
At a glance, the number of dead bodies exceeded beyond pits holding ten thousand, even hundreds of thousands couldn’t describe.
A massive, uncountable number.
Even the flapping human skins swayed in the wind, like countless resentful spirits wailing in the air.
Cold aura surged through the air, dropping the temperature significantly.
This was the unwillingness of countless Human Race departed souls, unwilling to leave, unable to enter reincarnation, only to wander in this Demon Country, lamenting endlessly for eternity.
Crack!
Brilliant golden lightning tore through the thick fog, exposing the city of immense resentment directly under the sunlight.
The gigantic Celestial Patrol Hall emerged from the clouds, transforming into a massive shadow descending from the sky, a terrifying pressure looming overwhelmingly.
Even the core headquarters of this Outer Realm Demon Country couldn’t withstand the suppression power of this highest divine artifact of the Incense and Candle Divine Dao, the entire Demon City, alongside the land, even the entire basin began to tremble lightly.
