“Such a big egg?”

Jiang Changsheng was interested and went closer to take a look.

He discovered that the egg was absorbing the martial arts spirit energy underground. The vitality inside was already very powerful, almost comparable to the Grotto-Heaven realm.

It could reach the Grotto-heaven realm the moment it was born?

He subconsciously wanted to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas to collect it, but on second thought, it was not strong now. It would not be too late to collect it when it became stronger.

He immediately left a reincarnation mark on the huge egg and continued forward.

The wasteland was vast and abundant with resources. There were countless magnificent mountains along the way. As the land was large enough, it was rare to see living beings. However, with his speed, he would soon encounter new ferocious beasts. This time, he encountered a group of ferocious beasts. Hundreds of ferocious beasts moved forward together and occupied a radius of hundreds of miles, which was enough to show how huge they were.

Jiang Changsheng sensed their aura. The strongest among them was only at the level of a Demon Venerable.

Against them, he could do whatever he wanted!

Attack!

Year 37 of the Taihe Era, June.

Jiang Changsheng returned to Longqi Mountain and fused with his avatar. The reason why he came back was because he wanted to rest. He could not devote all his energy to strengthening the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.

During this period of time, no one noticed that he had left behind a clone.

Mu Lingluo returned to the Mu Family and led them to continue fighting in the Great Wilderness.

Jiang Changsheng returned to the courtyard, took out the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, and began to pull the bowstring.

After he broke through, the bow was so light in his hands.

Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes brightened as she excitedly asked, “Master, are you going to attack again?”

Ji Wujun, Huang Tian, and Hei Tian also opened their eyes and looked at him curiously.

Jiang Changsheng casually said, “Yes, the Seven Demon Saints have wreaked enough havoc in the ocean. It’s time to take action.”

With his net worth being almost equal to that of the supreme demon, even though he was confident in a one-on-one fight, he was not strong enough to fight against the entire demon race, especially since he was dragging Great Jing with him. Naturally, he could not act rashly. However, his followers were in trouble, so he had to provide support.

“The Seven Demon Saints are extremely powerful. 5000 years ago, their status was similar to the current supreme demon. Fortunately, they were not there when the Sacred Dynasty fought. Otherwise, the Sacred Dynasty would not have lasted for more than a few years. It was naturally a good thing that the Dao Ancestor was willing to take action. However, the body of the Demon Saints is comparable to the body of a Martial Emperor and cannot be destroyed,” Ji Wujun said, her tone filled with helplessness.

Bai Qi curiously asked, “Are the Demon Saints that powerful? Will they submit to the supreme demon?”

Ji Wujun shook her head and said, “How is that possible? I reckon they haven’t seen the supreme demon yet. But no matter how strong they are, they can’t be his opponent.”

Fear surfaced in her eyes.

“The strength of the supreme demon is indescribable. Although the Sacred Dynasty was far less powerful than it was 5000 years ago, at least there was a Martial Emperor. However, he still died in the hands of the supreme demon. His corpse was also taken away by the supreme demon. This is a disgrace to the human race.” Ji Wujun sighed.

Bai Qi curled his lips and said, “No matter how strong he is, can he compare to Master?”

Ji Wujun said, “Perhaps not, but the supreme being of the demon race controls the entire demon race. For ten thousand years, the demon race has never been so unified. Looking at the history of the demon race, this supreme demon is definitely one of the greatest existences. And I’m just talking about his talent. It is said that he has cultivated for less than two thousand years, but no one knows how old he is. He only appeared two hundred years ago. In the past, the Sacred Dynasty and the demon race did not know of his existence.”

There was something she did not say. Even though the Dao Ancestor was an Immortal God, he might not be able to deal with the supreme demon.

Perhaps in the hearts of all living beings in the demon race, the supreme demon was an Immortal Demon God!

Jiang Changsheng started to aim and narrowed his eyes. “How can there be an immortal body? It’s just that you were not strong enough. As long as you are strong enough, no matter how strong an enemy is, they will turn to dust.”

These words made Ji Wujun’s spirits rise. The Dao Ancestor was powerful enough to kill a Demon Saint that was equal to a Martial Emperor?

On a continent, demonic energy pervaded the sky, causing the world to be dim and oppressive. The sky and ground were filled with scenes of martial artists fighting demon beasts. The mountain was filled with corpses, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood were insufficient to describe this scene.

Qing Tian wielded his halberd as he fought against a ten-thousand-feet-tall tiger demon. This tiger demon had evolved into having a half-human body. Its lower body was similar to a human, but its upper body retained its tiger body. It had four tiger eyes and black fur. It held a bone knife formed from fangs and slashed at Qing Tian with great force. Wherever it passed, mountains and rivers were shattered. The blood on its body made it look like an ancient demon god wreaking havoc in the world.

Qing Tian angrily shouted and waved his halberd. Terrifying true qi condensed into a blade light that swept across the sky. It collided with the four-eyed tiger demon with unstoppable momentum and cut off strands of its fur, but it did not break through its flesh.

“Human martial artist, do you honestly think that the Demon Saint conferred me the title of Demon Venerable for nothing? I was the Demon Venerable under the Supreme Being before, and I have stepped into the Great Paragon realm. Do you know what the Great Paragon realm is?”

The four-eyed tiger demon laughed unbridledly. His voice was like thunder, covering up all the shouts on the ground.

Qing Tian leaped up and flew to the same height as him. He coldly said, “Is the Great Paragon realm very strong? Remember my name. Qing Tian, after you reincarnate, this will be the name of the Martial Emperor.”

He raised his left hand and quickly tapped his chest a few times. In an instant, it was as if he had undone some seals. Traces of purple energy overflowed from the surface of his body and condensed into a terrifying purple giant. It was clad in armor and was a thousand feet tall. Even though it was not as huge as the four-eyed tiger demon, its aura was extraordinary and it became the most dazzling existence in the dim world.

The four-eyed tiger demon frowned and immediately roared.

“Roar!”

The tiger’s roar shook the sky. Countless demon beasts and martial artists were shocked to death.

Qing Tian leaped high into the air and smashed down with the halberd with both hands. The huge purple shadow on his body also picked up a huge halberd phantom and smashed it down together.

Bang!

The phantom of the huge halberd collided with the bone knife, and the terrifying impact set off a terrifying gale that crushed the broken mountains in all directions, causing dust to fly tens of thousands of miles away.

The ground beneath the four-eyed tiger demon’s feet collapsed in an instant and its legs were bent from the pressure.

With a loud shout, the purple giant ignited with raging flames and burrowed into the halberd.

Boom!

The halberd burst out with boundless purple flames, instantly drowning the four-eyed tiger demon and burning the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles.

In the distance, on a cliff, a group of severely injured martial artists was praying. Leading them was an old man who knelt on the edge of the cliff and kept kowtowing, praying for something.

“Titan God Pangu, please save us again…’

“Titan God Pangu…”

Not only him, but other martial artists were also chanting this sentence. In despair, they thought of Pangu of the Celestial Clan who had executed two great Demon Venerables.

Because of Pangu’s actions, the Celestial Clan was deified on this continent, and Pangu was the god of protection in everyone’s hearts.

After so many years, the continent ushered in a new crisis, and they were powerless to resist. They could only pray for Titan God Pangu to show his might again.

All the wounded who could not fight were praying silently.

As for the battle in the distance, they did not see it as hope.

The four-eyed tiger demon that was drowned by the sea of purple flames suddenly emitted four rays of light that pierced through the sea of fire. Following that, he opened his bloody mouth and sucked in the torrential flames.

It then revealed a smile, and a burnt smoke spread out between his fangs. He smiled contemptuously and said, “Is that all you’ve got?”

Qing Tian was furious. He suddenly threw the halberd and pierced through the four-eyed tiger demon’s flesh, nailing it to its chest. However, it did not cause any substantial damage.

At that moment, Qing Tian raised his hands and circulated his true qi. Immediately, the halberd burst out with purple flames again and spun at high speed, wanting to pierce through the four-eyed tiger demon’s body.

Whoosh—

A terrifying gust of wind came and Qing Tian turned his head. Before he could react, a small mountain smashed down on him and sent him flying.

This small mountain contained a huge amount of demonic power, making the rocks extremely hard. It smashed onto Qing Tian, causing him to vomit blood and fly hundreds of miles away. Coincidentally, he landed among the praying martial artists and almost hit one of them.

Qing Tian immediately got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up and saw a demonic figure that was larger than a four-eyed tiger demon walking over from the end of the world.

There were two Demon Venerables!

Qing Tian’s heart sank to the bottom. Ever since he appeared in public, he had killed a Demon Venerable under a Demon Saint. However, he did not expect to encounter a tough opponent in the second battle. Evidently, there was a huge gap in strength between the Demon Venerables.

The four-eyed tiger demon alone was already troublesome for him, and now there was another Demon Venerable. For the first time, he felt powerless.

He suddenly thought of what Elder Tianji said earlier.

“A Martial Emperor is not only individually powerful, but he can also unite the entire human race. No matter how powerful one person is, he can’t rival the might of a race!”

When he heard that, he disdained it and thought that the Martial Emperor was just not strong enough.

As long as they were strong enough, they could contend against a race!

But now, he finally understood.

Qing Tian looked around at these reckless martial artists and was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “You injured guys, why aren’t you hiding? It’s too dangerous here!”

However, no one paid any attention to him. Even though they were exposed on the cliff, they were still fearless and focused on praying.

Qing Tian listened carefully. These fools were praying for the Celestial Clan’s

Pangu to take action.

He had also heard of Pangu, but he did not admire him. After all, Pangu was not a human.

Now that they were facing a great enemy, these martial artists did not want to fight to the death. Instead, they begged for reinforcements from another race. They were simply a disgrace to the human race!

Just as Qing Tian was about to curse out loud, he saw the four-eyed tiger demon walking over with the huge Demon Venerable behind him. The huge Demon Venerable was surrounded by surging demonic aura and its true appearance could not be seen. It was just like a huge walking mountain, making him feel oppressed.

Qing Tian walked to the edge of the cliff and cursed under his breath. His eyes then became firm.

Even though it was different from what he expected, he was prepared to fight to the death.

On the day he trained in martial arts, he had sworn that he would never escape death if he had to fight. He would either die in battle or kill every single powerful enemy!

Qing Tian raised his halberd and faced the endless demon beasts in front of him. At this moment, he exuded an indomitable aura.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar descended from the sky. Qing Tian subconsciously looked up and widened his eyes. He saw a scene that he would never forget.

A huge hole was pierced through the demon clouds that covered the sky. The diameter of the hole was at least ten thousand miles, or even larger. Countless white beams of light fell from the sky like a torrential rain. Among them, two white beams were obviously larger than the rest, similar to the arrival of immortal gods, who brought light to the dark world..
