From Godhood to the Heavens

Demon Lord Chonglou paused for a moment, looked at the solemn-faced Di Zang, and slowly nodded before saying, "I understand!"

He stepped forward and stood before the body buried in the ground, slowly saying, "The stronger the enemy, the more excited I become!"

The next instant, the deity and demon lord Chonglou emerged from the divine court between his eyebrows. The two exchanged a glance, nodded simultaneously, and strode toward Chonglou.

Please let the spirit enter my body!

Having come this far, and having poured out their last bit of strength, it was clear that Demon Lord Chonglou understood what Di Zang meant by "fighting desperately."

That is, perhaps I really will die in this battle!

Even so, they must do everything in their power to wait for the Eastern Emperor to be promoted.

"Wait a minute, I see that the god you worship is yourself, and you are only one step away from the eighth realm. With this eighth realm origin pearl, it should be enough to break through and increase your chances of winning!"

The radiant pearl before him was none other than the Spirit King himself who had just appeared. Without the slightest hesitation, Di Zang took it into his possession the instant it appeared.

Demon Lord Chonglou was slightly taken aback, then nodded, feeling a bit more favorably disposed towards the Earth Burial. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it, his eyes shining even brighter.

"Demonic blood boils, the Heavenly Demon disintegrates, and the laws of heaven and earth are revealed!"

In just a moment, he unleashed all the supernatural abilities that could potentially enhance his combat power.

His magical power surged like a rolling tide, and his aura expanded continuously, transforming him into a ferocious god.

In an instant, the power increased many times over. Demon Lord Chonglou, holding the murderous blade, continuously poured power into his body.

Seeing that the enormous golden statue of merit seemed to be shattering, Demon Lord Chonglou suddenly exhaled and his figure rushed out instantly, his head reaching the sky and his feet touching the ground, shattering the clouds with his breath.

In an instant, it split into ten thousand Dharma bodies, which rushed towards Emperor Jiuyan, just to buy some time.

After that attack, Demon Lord Chonglou realized that he was no match for him, so he changed his tactics without hesitation. Even if he had to fight to the death, even if he killed 800 enemies but lost 1000 of his own, he would still leave a wound on Emperor Jiuyan.

Therefore, there is no need to hesitate. Thousands of incarnations fight to the death to buy time, even if they are destroyed in an instant. But with the laws of heaven and earth, the disintegration of the heavenly demon, and the boiling of demonic blood, he has no shortage of magical power.

As long as he can throw a single blow, as long as he has a breath left, he can continue to recover and continue fighting.

He unleashed a fighting force that he shouldn't have been able to display at this moment!

Fang Ping gave him the confidence to use the forbidden technique of disintegrating the Heavenly Demon and causing the demon blood to boil as a normal attack.

Emperor Jiuyan shook his head, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. So what if he was a disciple of a great sect? Even if he could fight against adversity, how could a Divine Lord in the early stage possibly compete with a mid-stage Emperor?

With a flick of his divine sword, he transformed into countless beams of light, instantly shattering the myriad incarnations. Ten thousand flames rose simultaneously, only to vanish just as quickly.

Looking ahead, Demon Lord Chonglou had already raised the murderous blade in his hand, which crashed down with a loud bang.

In an instant, it seemed that only that blade of light remained between heaven and earth, falling from the sky as if to split the earth in two.

Emperor Jiuyan's expression shifted slightly, revealing a hint of solemnity. This strike had already exceeded the limit of the eighth realm; simply put, it had reached the power of the ninth realm!

He slowly exhaled and calmly said, "Even the desperate struggle of ants cannot stop the overwhelming trend of the world!"

With a single thought, a roar resounded between heaven and earth. Emperor Jiuyan suddenly swung his sword, the sword light rising from below, seemingly without any power, only as red as blood.

The two beams of light collided, and in an instant, the aftershocks shook the heavens and the earth. The sky collapsed and the earth caved in for tens of thousands of miles around. Even the royal city collapsed in an instant, with countless houses and city walls collapsing one after another.

At the epicenter of the collision, a spatial rift stretching for hundreds of miles suddenly tore the heavens and earth apart.

The sword light overwhelmed the blade light, slicing through the dazzling blade light and shattering it into countless fragments of space, heading towards the Demon Lord Chonglou.

That towering figure of gods and demons, facing that sword light, was covered in endless demonic blood as it fell heavily backward.

Emperor Jiuyan shook his head. It was a pity that someone with such talent and the potential to become an emperor was an enemy. What could he do?

The only solution is to erase it to avoid future problems!

He glanced discreetly behind him, his aura growing increasingly rounded and powerful; it seemed his advancement was nearing completion.

Then the game here should come to an end!

Let it all end!

With a slight thought, he threw the longsword in his hand, which grew into a thousand-foot-long sword as it flew in the wind, heading towards the collapsed giant.

"go with!"

In the blink of an eye, the longsword fell, about to pierce the Demon Lord Chonglou, when suddenly he rolled away, his figure disappeared, and he appeared in another space.

Emperor Jiuyan's pupils shrank slightly. The wound had actually healed completely. His previously weak aura had not diminished at all. How was this possible?

"What a monstrous physical body! No wonder he's a primordial god or demon!"

Demon Lord Chonglou had no idea what Emperor Jiuyan was thinking. With a slight movement of his throat, a magic bean automatically rolled out from the space he had created in his mouth—how convenient!

The Eight Realms Origin Pearl had been mostly digested, and his physical body had recovered. Demon Lord Chonglou licked his lips, becoming increasingly excited.

If Emperor Jiuyan cannot kill him in one blow, he might be able to wear him down to death...

"Looks like you're nothing special after all..."

Unable to resist, he roared to the sky, his eyes filled with madness. The deity he worshipped was none other than the Demon Lord Chonglou himself, meaning that the power possessed by the deity's incarnation was the same as that of the Demon Lord Chonglou.

What Demon Lord Chonglou possessed, his divine avatar also possessed; all his supernatural powers and spells were the same. As a result, with the advancement of his divine avatar, Demon Lord Chonglou's spatial laws and numerous combat supernatural powers also increased dramatically in an instant.

If his original supernatural powers and spells were merely the beginning, now Demon Lord Chonglou can be considered to have achieved minor mastery.

In this way, although his realm did not change much, it soared rapidly as if he had been given a cheat code. Even as his divine cultivation continued to improve, Demon Lord Chonglou's supernatural powers and cultivation realm would receive a great boost.

It's true that it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others, and better to worship yourself than to worship gods and Buddhas.

Emperor Nine Flames sneered and slowly said, "If it weren't just a divine descent, this avatar would only be a seventh-realm divine being. I wouldn't be able to unleash even a fraction of my power. With just one move, you would have vanished from this world!"

Demon Lord Chonglou chuckled and said dismissively in a low voice, "Oh, is that so?"

With your current strength, even if the Great Yan Dynasty's territory spans hundreds of millions of miles, it should be an easy task for your true form to reach it.

What? Is it impossible?

Emperor Jiuyan scoffed, "You can't save yourself with just words!"

Then he shook his head and calmly said, "It's a pity that a primordial god-demon will perish here today!"

Suddenly raising his hand, a light flashed in his palm, and a small seal appeared in his palm, with tiny seal characters engraved on it: Great Yan Land!

It was none other than the Seal of the Earth God of the Great Yan Dynasty...

Every emperor possesses a sword and a seal, which are instruments to protect the country. The sword is used to command the gods and govern the land, while the seal is used to guard the mountains and rivers and govern the people.

Each one possesses the majesty of an emperor and is an unparalleled divine artifact. Although Emperor Jiuyan could not transfer the divine seal through the method of divine descent, he did not succeed.

However, he could also borrow some of the divine seal's power by dividing his mind. After all, although this land deity was of low rank, he was not the land deity of a town, county, or city, but was named after the Great Yan.

Within the Nine Flame Emperor's Divine Realm of the Great Yan Dynasty, a precious seal radiating boundless divine light trembled slightly, its brilliance growing ever more dazzling.

In the Northern Territory, the Nine Flame Emperor uttered the word "go," and in an instant, the precious seal grew longer in the wind, then shook downwards in a flash.

It encompassed the entire world, simultaneously covering both the Earth Burial Site and the Demon Lord Chonglou, and fell in an instant.

As if boundless divine power were crushing down, the two figures trembled suddenly. Demon Lord Chonglou, with his ten-thousand-foot-tall body, seemed to lift up the heavens and earth in a fit of rage, his expression becoming extremely ferocious.

Looking at the Demon Lord Chonglou who was stubbornly resisting, Emperor Jiuyan shook his head, even wanting to laugh, but not knowing what to say.

Connecting to the earth's veins, linking to all gods, and borrowing the thoughts of all living beings—even a ninth-realm emperor might not be able to bear such a burden.

This seal is equivalent to the entire Great Yan Dynasty, all spirits and gods, and the thoughts of all living beings. Not to mention just the eighth realm, even a ninth realm emperor might not be able to bear it.

The fact that he wasn't killed by a single strike already shows that Demon Lord Chonglou possesses extraordinary divine power and an incredibly strong physical body, truly befitting a primordial god and demon!

He shook his head slightly, holding a golden longsword in his hand, and turned to walk towards the Eastern Emperor.

A golden divine light burst forth, followed by a hazy purple aura that radiated boundless light, and was about to reach perfection in the next instant.

Before the Eastern Emperor, Fang Ping and the Demon King stood facing each other, their brows furrowed and their eyes wary.

Emperor Jiuyan's eyes were completely calm, showing no regard for either of them, even though he considered them to be exceptionally talented individuals, with both Demon Lord Chonglou and Earth Burial possessing the ability to fight against adversity.

Perhaps the two people in front of me are the same, but so what?

It's only the seventh realm...

Could it be that he could defy seven or eight minor realms and two major realms to fight against himself?

"God-Slaying Spear!" The Demon King smiled eerily and stretched out his hand forward.

Fang Ping sensed the unusual movement of the God-Slaying Spear and, without hesitation, sent a streak of dark light toward the Demon King.

In an instant, it was grasped in his hand, and boundless dark power surged into the Demon King's body.

In the next instant, the figures of the eight demons emerged one by one and headed towards the Demon King's body.

Emperor Jiuyan's eyebrows twitched violently, and the corners of his mouth even twitched involuntarily.

Such intense dark power, a pure demon god.

Unfortunately, none of the eight demon gods absorbed into his body reached the seventh realm, thus failing to provide the necessary boost. At best, it would only allow the Demon King, who was already incredibly close to the eighth realm, to barely cross that threshold!

However, that's not enough. Emperor Jiuyan was even looking forward to seeing what other tricks these people could come up with.

But reason told Emperor Jiuyan that delay would only lead to unforeseen changes. He was originally extremely confident, but faced with this group of people who were constantly exceeding the bounds of reason, he was now in a predicament.

Nine Flame Emperor felt a little scared. What if that emperor broke through and also possessed the terrifying strength to fight against adversity?

Even after breaking through to the ninth realm, there is still a tribulation of inner demons, which is said to be related to an unparalleled power. Whether one becomes a god or a demon, one will fall into a period of weakness.

This is the greatest tribulation. Emperor Jiuyan has never seen any god dare to undergo tribulation so openly, ignorant yet confident.

But in any case, he was no longer willing to wait, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.

The aura of the Eastern Emperor changed slightly, and a flower stamen rose above his head, with a petal slowly unfolding.

The Nine Flame Emperor smiled slightly, a thought flickering in his mind: "Enough!"

He dashed out in an instant, and at the same time, a slightly deep voice rang out!

"Qian, Kun, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen~"

The Nine Flame Emperor's momentum suddenly stopped. Looking at the world that had instantly fallen into darkness, he suddenly raised his hand, and a sun seemed to appear in the sky.

In an instant, the darkness was dispelled. Turning to look in all directions, one after another, immortal gods radiating divine light split into eight directions, each arranging itself to form a huge array.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be an array. Before Emperor Jiuyan could even examine it closely, the array suddenly began to move.

Between heaven and earth, wind and thunder clashed, and mountain fires and swamp gales followed suit, as countless attacks simultaneously swept in.

In an instant, Emperor Jiuyan was caught in an endless, relentless barrage of attacks and found himself unable to defend himself.

With a wave of his hand, he slashed down the sword light, killing one golden warrior after another. However, he recovered in an instant. The formation kept flowing and spinning rapidly. One second there was wind and thunder, the next second there was earth fire. The sky and the ground were endless and boundless.

Emperor Jiuyan's expression changed slightly. Although the continuous attacks did not cause him much harm, how could he endure being confined here?

He didn't mind the Eastern Emperor breaking through to a higher realm, but he had to control the timing. The time was now ripe, and he couldn't tolerate the other party continuing to delay.

Thus, the Nine Flame Emperor, who had been treating it as a game, became completely serious at this moment!

In the blink of an eye, thunder roared, and the emperor's wrath caused the heavens and earth to tremble. In an instant, a scorching fireball, like a miniature sun, appeared above his head and expanded countless times in a flash.

"Burning Heaven Emperor Flame, descend upon me!"

With a single thought, both inside and outside the dark world, a dazzling and scorching fireball instantly transformed into a fiery phoenix that incinerated everything, crashing down with a deafening roar.

As if piercing the sky, scattering endless flames, as if burning everything, the dark world was instantly illuminated, all the black mist was dispelled, and the falling sparks ignited the golden warriors of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The fire phoenix let out a cry, made an elegant turn in the sky, opened its sharp beak, and swallowed the demon king.

Fang Ping frowned slightly, took out a marble in his hand, poured his magic power into it, and smashed it fiercely towards the fire phoenix.

Facing the towering fire phoenix, the marble, as small as a speck of dust, emitted a dazzling light and seemed to possess an infinite suction force, suddenly swallowing the fire phoenix.
