Chapter 2894 - 110: Refusing the Imperial Edict (Part 3)
In the Shenxiao World, facing the gods controlled by Xuan South Duke, his voice was even more arrogant: "What of Emperor Yuan Xi? The present is different from the past, today will triumph over yesterday! I have founded the Spirit Clan, enriched the potential of the Demon Realm, and set foot above the absolute summit, opening up new possibilities for the Demon clan. Looking back millions of years later, it may not be that his achievements surpass mine! Xuan South Duke! Only one who knows the times is a wise hero, do you not think so?!"
The offensive of the gods in the Shenxiao World grew fiercer.
Yet in Mo Yun City, Xuan South Duke coldly stared at Tiger Taisui: "Heaven decrees a man’s doom by bestowing madness upon him! Tiger Taisui, you are courting your own death!"
"Hahahaha!" Tiger Taisui laughed wildly, his fist like a towering mountain, possessing a sky-shattering might: "Tiger Taisui has never known death and invites you to join me on this path of doom!"
It is madness that defines him, cruelty that defines him, cunning that defines him, madness that defines him.
He indeed has no fixed image, only seeking to achieve his goals in life, regardless of the means.
At this moment, he intended to use this madness to arrogantly kill Xuan South Duke.
But suddenly, a large hand radiating golden light reached out, blocking his fist.
There was a momentary stalemate between the palm and fist, both dispersing before a full collision.
Chan Fayuan stepped forward sluggishly, saying: "Why is Tiger Venerable’s hostility so heavy? Might as well listen... to what Emperor Yuanxi’s last will is."
Chan Fayuan was for the Knowledge and Hearing Bell...
This thought just flashed through Tiger Taisui’s mind when he intended to use the claim of the Knowledge and Hearing Bell in the Shenxiao World to sway Ancient Nan Mountain. Suddenly, a sword point aimed at his brow, forcing him to retreat half an inch on stage under the sharpness leaping from Lu Ximing’s fingertip!
"Dear neighbor, I have no intention of being your enemy," Lu Ximing said softly: "But for the sake of the Demon clan’s big picture, you must let Xuan South Duke deliver the decree, to see what layout Emperor Yuan Xi has prepared, so I can assess?"
Tiger Taisui was furious. The arrangement of the God Enthronement Platform in the Shenxiao World, when has it ever been spoken of to you? When you, Lu Ximing, set your pieces to capture the divine infant, what big picture did you consider? Now you speak of a big picture!
But raging serves no purpose. There is still a Lu Qilang in the Shenxiao World, who might be used as a bargaining chip against Lu Ximing.
As he pondered these, a shadow suddenly struck from behind him, Ji Xingkong’s large foot stepping out of the darkness, kicking his shaky form, moved by Lu Ximing, off the God Enthronement Platform!
"Off with you, then!" Ji Xingkong squeezed onto the God Enthronement Platform, his foot intercepting the already spreading demonic patterns onto the platform surface, saying with schadenfreude: "Lord Buddha does not bully you, this process of infringing upon the God Enthronement Platform is merely temporarily halted, not scattered. But if the Shenxiao situation involves Emperor Yuan Xi’s last will, wouldn’t you think it’s impolite not to listen?"
In an instant, three Heavenly Demons made their move.
Boom Boom Boom!
The seal on Tiger Taisui was also broken, and Xuan South Duke stepped into Mo Yun City, coming to face him!
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
Toward the rabid-dog-like behavior of these Heavenly Demons acting in unison, Tiger Taisui was furious in his heart, but instead laughed loudly: "Fellow sirs, you speak truly, indeed, it was my oversight! How could I not hear Emperor Yuan Xi’s last will?"
Looking at Xuan South Duke, he said: "Shenxiao World, governed freely, nothing more than each playing their pieces, each pursuing their desires! So, go ahead and tell, what plan is it that has had the God Enthronement Platform secretly bestowing divine power upon the Shenxiao World over the years, ultimately for what purpose? What kind of grand scheme requires keeping it from us, the Venerable ones, yet calls for me to clear the path?"
In this posture, it seemed as if Xuan South Duke was turned into a mere messenger. As if he was always in league with Lu Ximing and the others, and Xuan South Duke was the one being besieged.
However, Xuan South Duke showed no anger, for he knew Tiger Taisui had no claim!
"It is not about having you step aside; it’s about having you not grab."
With one hand holding the imperial edict, he thus made a defining statement before solemnly speaking: "In those days, Emperor Yuan Xi was stabbed by the Master Daoist Yizhen of the Human Race. It was Ancestor Yuzhen’s timely arrival from the Chaos Sea, joining forces with Emperor Yuan Xi, that repelled Master Daoist Yizhen. Later, Ancestor Yuzhen convened the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar and perfected his Shenxiao World, which you all know.
Emperor Yuan Xi often reminisced about Ancestor Yuzhen during his life, also recorded in history.
But it cannot be openly recorded, fearing it would be destroyed by the Human Race; one thing is—
Emperor Yuan Xi did not wish for Ancestor Yuzhen to perish thus, did not wish for the Demon clan to forever lose its pillar.
Therefore, he arranged the Shenxiao World, constructing the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods, crafting for him a Divine King Body, waiting for the Shenxiao World’s completion, for Ancestor Yuzhen’s spirituality to return, to consecrate him as the Supreme Revered Deity with forces of the world’s divine way!"
