Chapter 82 Breakthrough Tribulation Arrives
The blazing sun was obscured by the billowing demonic energy. Led by the Nine-Headed Lion Demon Saint, all the powerful figures of the Demon Court and the younger generation of strongmen had arrived.
The arrival of the powerful demons from the Demon Court drastically changed the atmosphere of the Jade Pool Pure Land, turning the originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere into one of grimness and severity.
Humans and demons are inherently opposed. In the ancient era after the retreat of the Primordial Clan, the conflict between the human and demon races in the Big Dipper region lasted for a long time.
More than 10,000 years ago, the Azure Emperor of the demon race attained enlightenment and became an emperor. He then unified the demon race in the Eastern Wilderness with his own strength and became the Heavenly Court of the demon race.
During the reign of the Azure Emperor, relations between the human and demon races eased, and there were no major conflicts between them.
However, four thousand years ago, the Azure Emperor passed away, and the Eastern Wilderness Demon Court also split up with his departure.
Many demon forces, such as the Heavenly Demon Palace, were unwilling to be enemies with the human race. They broke away from the Demon Court and became independent again, while maintaining good relations with the human race.
The remaining forces within the Demon Court are radical factions hostile to the human race, who aspire to recreate the glory of the Azure Emperor and lead the Demon Court to dominate the Eastern Wilderness.
Especially now that those demon saints who were "promoted" to sainthood by the late-life Green Emperor are nearing the end of their days, the Demon Court's actions have become increasingly insane and unscrupulous.
"Hahaha, what's wrong? Yaochi, keep playing the music and dancing for this Holy One!"
The nine-headed demon saint, with his thick, fluffy golden hair as radiant as the sun, laughed wildly, then his expression suddenly changed.
"Does it mean that your Jade Pool doesn't welcome our arrival?"
"Of course not. The Yaochi Assembly is open to all, and welcomes any fellow cultivators. Seniors of the demon race, please!" The former Yaochi Holy Maiden appeared and made a gesture of invitation.
"Hahaha, little girl, you're not bad. Be my great-granddaughter-in-law." The Nine-Headed Demon Saint said in a carefree manner.
"Senior Demon Saint, you flatter me." Yao Yiyi smiled, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I'm not joking with you..."
"Yiyi is a candidate for the next Queen Mother of Yaochi. If Fellow Daoist Nine Heads wants to choose a great-grandson's wife, you should look for someone else." The Old Lady of Yaochi walked over, leaning on her dragon-headed cane, her voice loud and forceful.
"It's you!!!" The Nine-Headed Demon Saint's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
The holy masters and powerful figures of various holy lands and great religions also showed different expressions, clearly recognizing the identity of the Old Lady of Yaochi.
Although the old lady is only a third-level immortal who has severed her Dao, this place is Yaochi's home ground, and she can borrow the power of the supreme imperial weapon, the Western Emperor Tower, making her almost invincible.
"If you are here to attend the Yaochi Gathering, please take your seats," said the Old Madam of Yaochi in a calm voice.
"snort"
The Nine-Headed Demon Saint snorted coldly, but said nothing more and sat down directly.
At the third quarter of Chen hour, in the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace.
The Jade Pool Pure Land was filled with distinguished guests; almost all the important figures from the major forces of the Big Dipper had gathered.
The once-in-five-hundred-years-long Jade Pool Peach Banquet has officially begun!
A tense atmosphere, as if about to erupt into conflict, enveloped the entire venue.
The oppressive atmosphere emanating from the older generation of powerful figures caused the younger generation of prodigies to hold their breath.
The Yaochi Grand Assembly, which takes place only once every five hundred years, has never been a celebratory gathering of eating and drinking.
Every Yaochi Grand Assembly is customarily accompanied by a battle between Saint Lords, where disagreements often escalate into open conflict.
As a neutral force in the Eastern Wilderness and even the entire Beidou region, Yaochi Holy Land often serves as a witness to the conflicts between various forces.
In this era, the greatest conflict in the Eastern Wilderness was naturally between the human race and the demon court.
"Now that Tianxuan has perished, the territory it left behind is truly a treasure trove of geomancy. My Demon Court intends to use it as our second base. Who agrees? Who disagrees?" This was the opening statement of a powerful figure from the Demon Clan, forceful, domineering, and leaving no room for argument.
These words instantly caused the competition to skip the warm-up phase and go straight to the battleground.
The Demon Court's domineering declaration immediately provoked collective opposition from a host of holy lands and major religions.
"I disagree. Even if the Tianxuan Holy Land is destroyed, it is still the territory of my human race. How could it be the territory of your demon race to occupy it?" The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Beginnings spoke first.
"That's right, we will not give up an inch of our human territory," the Purple Mansion Saint Lord echoed.
"Although Tianxuan is no more, we will guard his territory for him!" The leader of the Ziwei Sect said sternly.
The three forces that spoke first, like the Tianxuan Holy Land, were all located in the central part of the Eastern Wilderness, giving them an advantage due to their proximity.
Following them, other holy land forces such as Jiuxiao, Sixiang, and Dayan also spoke out in opposition to the Demon Court's domineering actions.
Their strong opposition stems from reasons that are certainly not as noble as they claim.
Their true purpose remains profit; they want to seize Tianxuan's secret treasure.
On the surface, the Tianxuan Holy Land has been divided up and looted, but all the major forces know in their hearts that the true secrets of Tianxuan have not yet been revealed.
Somewhere in the Tianxuan Holy Land exists a divine land, within which lies the supreme inheritance of Tianxuan.
The Imperial Scripture inheritance of Tianxuan is precisely the reason why the sacred lands of Jiuxiao and Sixiang are not giving an inch at this moment.
"Since you disagree, then let's fight!!!" The powerful Kui Niu of the demon race roared.
"Jade Pool, open the battle arena of life and death!!!" another powerful figure from the Demon Court shouted.
The Queen Mother of the West glanced at the Old Lady and finally nodded in agreement: "Open the battle arena!"
The powerful figures from all sides walked out one after another, their fighting spirit surging like the sea, and thick streams of blood energy bursting out from the top of their heads, reaching the heavens.
Rumble!
The leaden clouds were like mountains, thick and heavy, making it hard to breathe.
The thick, gray clouds almost pressed down to the ground, emanating an ancient aura accompanied by a strong sense of killing intent.
The vast training ground stretched as far as the eye could see, covered with knife marks, arrow holes, and bloodstains. Although no corpses lay scattered about, the aura of the fallen warriors was indelible, penetrating to the very core of one's being.
This is the Battle Arena of Life and Death at Yaochi!
Countless brilliant figures have perished here, leaving behind one eternal legend after another.
……
Meanwhile, deep within the Jade Pool, on a certain mountain peak.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Jade Pool Gathering is truly a gathering of heroes. Even from this distance, you can feel that terrifying aura." Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
According to Yao Lao's soul perception, the number of 'Battle Saint' level experts who have arrived at Yaochi this morning has exceeded three digits.
All the Dou Sheng on the Dou Qi Continent combined probably don't have as many participants as in this one tournament.
Not to mention that most of the Dou Sheng in the Dou Qi Continent are only three stars or below, while the various Saint Lords and Emperor Lords are almost all at the peak of Dou Sheng.
"Stop looking, our most important task right now is to protect the group leader." Luo Feng casually tossed a large spirit peach to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan took the spirit peach, took a bite, and juice overflowed. "It's been a whole night, and there's still no movement inside. I wonder how the group leader's breakthrough is going?"
"There shouldn't be any major problems." Luo Feng had a lot of confidence in Qin Feng.
Rumble~
Suddenly, a muffled rumble of thunder exploded.
Above the hill, dark, ominous clouds continued to gather.
"...The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things..."
In the center of the room, Qin Feng was enveloped by a massive amount of divine essence, and it seemed as if supreme scriptures were being chanted in the darkness.
One after another, the sun rose slowly from behind Qin Feng, and the five divine treasures within his body resonated in unison, emitting the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao, like the resounding of a great bell.
He was enveloped by a vast divine power, gathering endless divine essence into his body, and divine light, like a tide, washed over every inch of his flesh and blood.
Having accumulated enough, I break through the barriers and enter the four extremes.
Boom!
Deep purple lightning descended from the sky.
