Chapter 612: Is it useful?
At a certain location within the Endless Ocean.
Amidst a vast land strewn with ruins.
At this moment, a figure emerged from the wreckage.
With each step this figure took, the entire void trembled.
The figure's visage was imposing, his eyes like stars, inscrutable, his long silver hair cascading over his shoulders, surrounded by an aura of 'Divinity'.
Each of his movements was accompanied by a tremendous force.
"This body... so weak, does the Heavenly Dao seek to weaken me in this manner?"
The figure slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly uncomfortable with his own body.
Boom!
In the Firmament above, countless thunderbolts flickered, ready to strike down and annihilate the figure at any moment.
"Even if I am weakened, I am not to be humiliated by the likes of you, puny Heavenly Dao!"
The figure seemed enraged by the phenomena above the Firmament.
He turned towards the void and beckoned with one hand.
"Bring the Bell!"
The figure 'Donghuang Taiyi' spoke with a cold voice.
His voice was like a divine command.
As he spoke.
The void rippled in waves.
But after a moment.
The ripples calmed down again.
"Clever little Heavenly Dao, leaving most of its strength to resist the void, preventing me from summoning?"
The figure 'Donghuang Taiyi' chuckled.
He didn't care at all.
The figure moved, intending to soar into the skies.
But before he could act.
Two figures flew towards him from a distance.
Donghuang Taiyi looked up.
He saw Ji Meng and the Demon Master arriving.
"Demon Emperor! Do not be rash!!"
As soon as Ji Meng arrived, he said in a hurry.
"Ji Meng? Kun... Kunpeng?"
Upon seeing the two, Donghuang Taiyi was taken aback.
Especially when he saw the Demon Master, his gaze deepened.
"Demon Emperor, you must not be impulsive. In this era, you do not yet know the specifics. If you act rashly, we from the old era will have lost completely!"
Ji Meng was truly anxious.
He had just seen Donghuang Taiyi intending to fight against the New Heavenly Dao head-on.
"Yes, Demon Emperor, you must absolutely not be impulsive!"
The Demon Master also feigned concern as he spoke.
"What is this about a complete loss? I have just resurrected, you must explain things clearly to me."
Donghuang Taiyi frowned slightly.
Seeing this.
Ji Meng didn't think much and started to recount to Donghuang Taiyi straightforwardly.
He told all that he knew.
After speaking, he even opened up the list of the New Heavenly Proud, presenting it to Donghuang Taiyi for him to see.
"Is that so..."
"What's so interesting about this New Heavenly Proud list? Why trigger the Catastrophic Tribulation in such a manner? Skulking about, striking down the younger generation, do you not feel ashamed?"
"If you want to provoke the Catastrophic Tribulation, then do it in a grand and upright manner. Slaughter all of the people of the new era directly, and even if the Catastrophic Tribulation does not arise, it will have to!"
Donghuang Taiyi's tone was filled with confidence and dominance.
"Yes, Demon Emperor,"
Ji Meng repeated his affirmation.
Before the two highest commanders of the Demon Race emerged, he, as the Demon Saint, naturally could disregard everyone within the Demon Race.
But now that the Demon Emperor was resurrected, the control of the Demon Race should fall into the Demon Emperor's hands.
He naturally had to follow the Demon Emperor's orders.
Hum!
A tremor rang out in the void.
Suddenly, streams of characters flew out from within the void.
These characters formed a brand new list, completely different from the New Heavenly Proud list.
At the same time, a piece of information entered Ji Meng's mind.
"This is... this is the list of all the powerful beings of the new era specially created by the Heavenly Dao for you, Demon Emperor. Also, the Heavenly Dao wants you to be careful," Ji Meng said, his expression a bit odd.
"Heavenly Dao? The Old Heavenly Dao?" Donghuang Taiyi murmured, not particularly concerned.
The Old Heavenly Dao indeed had the standing to speak to him in such a manner.
He looked up at the list floating in the void ahead.
[The list ranks all the powerful beings that have survived to the present in the new era, rated by their combined threat to the Heavenly Dao.]
[First Place: Sun Wukong. Location: Tianzu Continent.]
[Second Place: ??? (Jiang Baiyi). Location: Wuji Continent.]
[Third Place: Ye Luo. Location: Divinity Continent.]
[Fourth Place: Milada. Location: Tianying Continent.]
...
[Sixth Place: Baize. Location: Divinity Continent.]
[Seventh Place: Belial. Location: Tianzu Continent.]
[Eighth Place: Kabala. Location: Burial Immortal Continent]
[Ninth Place: Hundun. Location: Divinity Continent.]
[Tenth Place: Taotie. Location: Divinity Continent.]
[Eleventh Place: Qiongqi. Location: Divinity Continent.]
[Twelfth Place: Taowu. Location: Divinity Continent.]
...
[Nineteenth Place: Mary. Location: Tianzu Continent.]
[Twentieth Place: Baal. Location: Tianzu Continent.]
...
Donghuang Taiyi looked at those names, unconcerned.
In his view, no matter how powerful the beings of the new era were, they were nothing more than chickens and dogs.
How long has the new era been born?
And how long did the old era last?
This was not even in the same league.
Nothing worth seeing.
As far as Donghuang Taiyi was concerned, if he took action, those people of the new era would surely die!
This was inevitable.
However, when Donghuang Taiyi saw the names Baize, Hundun, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taowu, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Ji Meng, Kunpeng, are Baize and the others' names coincidences?" Donghuang Taiyi asked with a slight frown.
"This..."
Both Ji Meng and the Demon Master were seeing this list for the first time and had no idea what was contained within it.
Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's question, they hurriedly looked at the list, wanting to see what was inside.
When they saw the names belonging to the five, Baize included, they were also stunned.
Ji Meng immediately took out the Old Heavenly Dao Imprint and began to communicate with the Old Heavenly Dao.
Donghuang Taiyi noticed but did not disturb him.
His gaze solemnly fell upon the Demon Master.
That look made chills run down the Demon Master's spine, fearing an attack from Donghuang Taiyi.
"Kunpeng, the Hetu Luoshu is useful, isn't it?" Donghuang Taiyi slowly let out this remark.
As soon as these words were spoken,
The Demon Master instantly went on high alert.
"What's the matter, can't you answer just one question?" Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Good, it's useful..." the Demon Master swallowed hard and struggled to say.
"I'm glad to hear it. The Hetu Luoshu is a precious item indeed, it was my esteemed elder brother's Companion Spirit Treasure," Donghuang Taiyi said emotionlessly.
His words were calm, yet they contained a murderous intent that wished to tear the Demon Master into thousands of pieces.
This tension caused the Demon Master to become defensive.
Between the two of them, a battle seemed imminent...
