"Hoo hoo~"
Everything within a thousand miles was razed to the ground.
Chen Jiuyang, now an Emperor Realm expert and an unparalleled mighty being, unleashed attacks of such terrifying power.
The myth of Hou Yi shooting down the sun, capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon.
To what extent could the martial path reach, to possess such divine power as in legends?
Vast spiritual energy and essence, like rolling clouds, were devoured by Chen Jiuyang's physical body, akin to a whale absorbing water.
Facing the Lotus Birth Mother, even the current Chen Jiuyang dared not be careless.
This battle, with its twists and turns, left those watching from the shadows stunned.
The Yan Emperor was not dead.
But now...
It was an excellent opportunity to kill the Yan Emperor.
"Unparalleled mighty being, Emperor Realm body, divine abilities recorded in the River of Martial Arts, peak divine abilities of the Way of the Soldier, forbidden techniques that defy heavenly principles, the unprecedentedly forged Furnace Ascension Platform..."
Numerous great figures gazed at Chen Jiuyang, clad in the black nine-dragon imperial robe, their expressions solemn, their eyes flashing with sharp light.
Even the mighty Lotus Birth Mother had perished by that arrow.
No one was willing to gamble on how many more arrows Chen Jiuyang could unleash. Though he appeared greatly depleted, who knew how much strength Chen Jiuyang still possessed?
Moreover, they held no deep enmity towards the Yan Emperor, nor were they from the Five Great Sacred Lands.
"This... truly lives up to being the Son of Destiny of the previous era..."
Chen Beixuan sighed inwardly as he looked at Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang raised his hand, and demonic energy surged from his imperial robe, enveloping the unconscious Yan Emperor.
Chen Beixuan cupped his fists and bowed, "Many thanks to Sect Master Chen for your intervention today."
"The Yan Emperor and I are closely related, so there is no need for thanks," Chen Jiuyang said, unconcerned by the probing gazes from all directions.
"As you heard the Yan Emperor's words earlier, with your current strength, you cannot protect the Yan Emperor from the pursuit of the Five Great Sacred Lands."
"I am taking the Yan Emperor back to the Sacred Sect."
"I also need to purge my sect, so I will not be staying to entertain the Guardian. When I have time, you may visit our Sacred Sect."
"Understood," Chen Beixuan nodded.
Following this, Chen Jiuyang transformed into a streak of light and flew eastward, returning to the True Demon Sect.
...
On this day, the world was shaken.
Marquis Qianyang, the Demon Lord, had, with a single arrow, annihilated the avatar of the ancient martial arts monster, the Lotus Birth Mother!
The Yan Emperor was resurrected, and the Five Great Sacred Lands were furious!
...
True Demon Sect.
The Sacred Artifact 'Eternal Calamity' stood in the void, constantly emanating boundless dark light, protecting the True Demon Sect's territory.
Even amidst the white-hot stage of the righteous and demonic war, tens of thousands of people remained within the True Demon Sect's domain.
They were returning to claim battle merits, to heal, to prepare for breakthroughs to higher cultivation realms, for logistical support, pills, and equipment, and so on.
Under the great era, Chen Jiuyang became the second person from the Dragon Kingdom to ascend to the Emperor Realm, how could this not excite and elate the entire Demon Sect?
However, some felt uneasy.
After Chen Jiuyang returned to the True Demon Sect, he did not convene a council immediately.
Instead, he proceeded to the Han Clan's Forbidden Ground.
He had faced tribulations to break through his cultivation in the front, while his own sect members colluded with outsiders to assassinate his kin in the rear. How could Chen Jiuyang not be filled with chilling killing intent?
But his immediate priority was to check on his family's situation and to treat the Yan Emperor's injuries.
The Han Clan's Forbidden Ground contained a spiritual liquid pool, possessing the effect of rebirth.
Great figures of the Han Clan throughout generations were buried within the forbidden ground.
In his nascent stages, Chen Jiuyang had obtained the Aversion to Life Technique and the Aversion to Life Saber here.
His entire family, dozens of people, resided here.
Among them were Yun Jingbai, Yun Tiancheng, as well as Qin Rouyu and his parents.
In a state of unity between man and nature, Chen Jiuyang was like an ordinary person, without any airs of a mighty being, interacting warmly with his family.
The majority of his time was spent with Yun Jingbai and Qin Rouyu.
Han Shaofa walked into the Han Clan's Forbidden Ground and reported, "Sect Master, the matters from a few days ago have yielded results."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes turned cold as he said, "Oh?"
"A total of one hundred and fifty-seven individuals are involved, along with four families from the Sacred Dao lineage. With the Sect Master's decree, all families within the sect are mobilizing their full strength."
"Oh," Chen Jiuyang said lightly, "Inform them to wait in the main hall. I will deal with and sort them out when I have free time."
After Chen Jiuyang broke through to the Emperor Realm, the effect was truly immediate. Previously, his orders could only circulate within the sect, and could not influence families of the demonic lineage to such an extent, causing Chen Jiuyang to feel discontent and reluctant to wield great power.
He had simply handed over the reins of power to Qiu Yihan, while he focused wholeheartedly on cultivation breakthroughs.
Years of dedication had finally borne fruit today.
"Yes, Sect Master," Han Shaofa said respectfully.
Now, Chen Jiuyang was the sovereign, the Sect Master, commanding all. Who dared to disobey?
The demonic path revered strength above all else.
Previously, Han Shaofa could still privately address Chen Jiuyang by name, but now, he could not.
The closer one was to Chen Jiuyang, the more they needed to understand the rules.
Chen Jiuyang said to his family, "The situation has returned to normal. The children need to attend school. Today, we will move out of the Han Clan's Forbidden Ground."
With that, Chen Jiuyang transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the True Demon Sect.
However, before Chen Jiuyang could reach the Sect Master's Hall.
The Sacred Artifact 'Eternal Calamity' transmitted a message to Chen Jiuyang:
"Sect Master 'Qianyang', having now ascended to the Emperor Realm and become an unparalleled mighty being, according to the rules of the Sacred Sect, you must come to me and leave your inheritance, to repay the grace of the Sacred Sect's nurturing."
Chen Jiuyang's figure froze for a moment, then he said, "Understood."
Chen Jiuyang flew towards the sky.
Within the True Demon Sect, only three individuals could access the Sacred Artifact 'Eternal Calamity': Sect Master Chen Jiuyang, Sect Master's Consort Qiu Yihan, and Saint Son Zhu Zhaoming.
"Swish swish swish!"
'Eternal Calamity' unfurled a scroll, and a corner of the vast, dark, and terrifying Chongming Sea once again appeared before Chen Jiuyang.
Having ascended to the Emperor Dao, Chen Jiuyang felt the goodwill of the Chongming Sea towards him.
This time, 'Eternal Calamity' unfurled more, and above the Chongming Sea, there were countless human-like imprints.
'Eternal Calamity' said, "Inject your divine soul into the blank spaces, and then leave your inheritance."
Chen Jiuyang pondered for a moment, then his celestial platform rotated, and wisps of immortal light flowed from it, entering the scroll. Soon, Chen Jiuyang's likeness was imprinted.
It was Chen Jiuyang without the unity of man and nature, clad in the nine-dragon imperial robe, exuding overwhelming demonic energy, his aura mysterious, vast, domineering, terrifying, and cold, truly like a peerless mighty being of the demonic path.
Then Chen Jiuyang began to leave his inheritance.
His memories surged like waves:
"I, Qianyang, am born with the Pure Yang Body, inheriting the Pure Yang Medical Immortal's legacy from the Tribulation Crossing Mighty Being of the Immortal Alliance. I practice the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the Emperor Yu Divine Body Technique, the Aversion to Life Technique, the Instant Annihilation Martial Dao, the Withered Wood Returns to Spring Skill..."
"To inherit my Dao, one must first be the Son of Destiny of the current era, and then be a possessor of the Heavenly Charm Body's love tribulation, before one can learn the Aversion to Life Technique."
"Then, corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, one must comprehend their five great origins and laws, and forge the Furnace of Martial Arts."
