The Ancestor of All Demons

The Giant Wood God summoned celestial soldiers from the Changle World, knowing that Deng Yin, this Blood Demon, was extraordinary, with methods surpassing ordinary demons.

If Deng Yin were to invade Changle Heaven, the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals would have the protection of the Green Emperor Talisman, thus remaining fearless. However, should the Heavenly Soldiers descend to this Lower Realm and be swept into the Blood Sea, they would face immediate tribulation or even be forged into the Blood God's son.

Therefore, he didn't seek those heavenly soldiers who were of no use just for show, but instead summoned those specialized in demon slaying and eliminating evils.

First came the Wind and Thunder Guardian Altar Divine General, along with the Great General of Celestial Beasts, the White Wood Spirit Official, and others, numbering over three hundred, clashing from all sides amidst thunder and lightning, with blue light and multicolored splendor scattered everywhere.

The four old demons, Sand God Boy and others, following Deng Yin's instructions, occupied the four directions of southeast, northwest, manipulating blood qi to condense, growing deeper and stickier, surging in massive waves, incessantly beating towards the center.

Within this blood qi resided fifty thousand Blood Buddhas and three hundred thousand Blood God's sons, entirely encircling the summit of Mount Tai, fiercely attacking inward.

"What a fierce evil demon!" Qingxuan and other Divine Generals inhaled cold air in astonishment. In the Heavenly World, they had guided beings to Changle World, encountering various demons causing harm and havoc, fierce and brutal, terrifying and bloody, yet never had they encountered someone as powerful as Deng Yin!

The Giant Wood God continued to call upon reinforcements; the ones before were merely vanguards. He began summoning the primary fighting force this time — the eighty-one Changle Demon-Slaying God Kings!

The God Kings' names were long inscribed on the eighty-one green banners at the altar. As he cast his magic, the god flags fluttered, green energy surged, and celestial figures emerged one after another.

The foremost was the Nine Phoenixes Purification God King, an extraordinary deity, bearing both the Heaven Talisman and Green Emperor Talisman, also known as the Nine Phoenixes Purification Great General and Nine Phoenixes Spirit Officer. He possessed his exclusive Nine Phoenixes Purification Spell and a unique set of Nine Phoenixes Exorcism Ceremony.

He was born with nine heads, colorful bird feathers all over, donned in a big red robe, with twelve wings on his back, carrying a Golden Vessel of Breaking Filth, a Purifying Jade Bowl, and wielding a long spear surrounded by five-colored lightning.

Upon appearance, he loudly questioned the Giant Wood God, "For what reason have you summoned my true self to descend here?"

He was somewhat dissatisfied; normally, when Taoists in various worlds cast spells to invite him, whether using the Shangqing Method, Spiritual Treasure Skill, or Green Emperor's Technique, they only summoned his avatars. This time, the Giant Wood God employed the Green Emperor's Technique, invoking the righteous name of Taiyi Venerable in utmost urgency, insisting on his true self's descent.

He had the right and power to express dissatisfaction, handling multiple roles, not merely a subordinate to the Green Emperor. Strictly speaking, he was a divine official of the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm. His true self's descent to the human world slightly violated heavenly rules, though the responsibility could technically be shifted to the Green Emperor. However, it wasn't the Green Emperor who summoned him, and the Giant Wood God lacked official clerical standing. If there wasn't an unavoidable reason, once the Judicial Celestial Gods, Spirit Officers, Patrol Envoys learned of this and reported to the Heavenly God, it would spell trouble for him!

The Giant Wood God, hearing this demeanor, was also displeased. Though lacking official standing, he was the son of the Green Emperor, deserving a level of respect not only from the Nine Phoenixes but even from The Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial, Five Directions and Five Elders!

Yet, the Nine Phoenixes Spirit Officer continued no further, as he observed the surrounding situation, gasping with his nine heads simultaneously!

"What a fierce demon!"

The Giant Wood God saw this and didn't engage further, continuing to summon other God Kings.

Following were the Pure Flame God King, Thunder Drum God King, Entire Form Purification God King, Entire Form Rematerialization God King, Resentment-Dissolving God King, God King of Ungratefulness, and others…

Among these God Kings, some, like the Nine Phoenixes Spirit Officer, held simultaneous positions in the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, but most were solely stationed in the Changle World, part of the Green Emperor's private deployment.

A total of eighty-one God Kings, enveloped in the eastern Green Radiance Nine Energies, stood above the green flags.

The Giant Wood God said, "As you all can see, there are wicked demons in this world wreaking havoc. I have invited you all to eliminate evil and eradicate demons, saving the beings of this realm from suffering!"

All God Kings, recognizing the ferocity of the Blood Demon, voiced in unison like thunder: "Exterminate the secret demons! Save all beings!"

The four great demons also sensed immense threat. Observing the flickering blue light and surging Immortal Energy here, they extended their Divine Sense, engaging in a brief yet intense contest with the God Kings, with no clear victor at a glance.

The Giant Wood God didn't allow these God Kings to individually engage in a chaotic battle with the multitude of demons but directly ordered the execution of the Taiyi Venerable Prison-Breaking Formation!

Taiyi Venerable, compassionately responding to pleas, exists because those who call seek rescue from dire straits. The greatest suffering within the Three Realms is being trapped in Hell or enduring demonic tribulations.

For those trapped in Hell, it's manageable; the Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit can unleash a roar to open the Eighteen Layers of Hell, with the Emperor of Fengdu, ruler of Hell, aligned with the North Emperor's lineage. Before the North Star reallocation, the Green Emperor could directly rescue people from the Underworld. In battling the various evil demons of the Heavenly World, the Taiyi Venerable employs specialized demon-expelling and evil-eliminating techniques to rescue beings.

The eerier, more terrifying, bloodier, and more brutal the locale or enemy, the more it demonstrates his compassionate potency in responding to cries for aid.

The Taiyi Venerable Prison-Breaking Formation is capable of directly breaking through the Eighteen Layers of Hell to forcibly rescue individuals. Although the rules of the underworld are strict, if the rescued repent and reform, he can momentarily suspend the rules and take them to the Changle World, allowing for cultivation. Once they achieve success, they may then address their karma.

The same principle applies to those trapped in various demonic realms, demon domains, and evil ghost realms across the ten directions of the Heavenly World.

The God Kings under his command are well-matched for the task, unfazed by fierce demons. The fiercer they are, the more intriguing the challenge.

81 Divine Kings cast their spells simultaneously, forming a formation, and the Giant Wood God Monarch simultaneously summoned the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits. The nine-headed lion roared more fiercely than before.

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits dared not to roar freely, lest he disturb the Heavenly Gods. The voices of his nine heads were restrained together, sent directly to the Lower Realm, shaking Taishan with rumbling sounds. The blood-colored layers of Bright Clouds around shattered, and even those Blood Buddhas showed cracks.

The Nine Phoenix God King flew to the highest point, surrounded by other God Kings, holding their Divine Artifacts and spewing Divine Light, forming a battle array.

With nine heads, the Nine Phoenix God King could observe all directions, spewing forth the Breaking Filth and Exterminating Demonic Divine Flames, empowered by Green Wood Energy, instantly creating a sea of fire.

Deng Yin let out a long howl in the sky, using the Heavenly Secret Demon Divine Sound. As he sounded it, four others, including the Sand God Child and Red Lotus Demon, also let out their howls with the same Secret Demon Sound.

The five combined forces to counter the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, not only confronting him in this world but also forming a line to directly send into the Eastern Extreme Miao Yan Palace in the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, attacking the Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit himself!

Their Secret Demon Divine Sound was capable of breaking the barriers between realms and resonating throughout the Heavens, interacting and resonating with the lion's roar, and indeed, it was sent up.

The nine-headed lion stayed in Miao Yan Palace every day, feeling bored, and his caretaker was also dull, lacking strength. With nine heads, he could observe the Heavenly World, always wanting to sneak to various worlds for fun, but restricted by Heavenly rules, he couldn't roam freely.

The Giant Wood God Monarch asked him for help, so he roared in assistance, considering it an effortless task. Unexpectedly, Demons from the Lower Realm issued the Secret Demon Sound to counter him.

The demon sound emitted by Deng Yin and his four accomplices was of the highest level, undetectable by ordinary ears, directly affecting the target's mind and consciousness.

The Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit felt as if a needle pierced through his brain, causing extreme discomfort. His lion fur stood on end as he leapt up, with nine heads shaking simultaneously, roaring downward again in anger.

Deng Yin and the five engaged in a duel with him from afar, exchanging several rounds before realizing that this lion was formidable.

Of course, they knew long ago about the Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit under the Taiyi Venerate, but this time they directly confronted him. The lion, not only possessing immense mana, had been nurtured in Heaven for many years, absorbing Nine Heavens Spiritual Energy, making him impervious to demons.

Not only impervious, but also specialized in exterminating demons and breaking evil. Any evil spirits or demons heard his roar was forced to cower, otherwise, they would be directly shattered into Soul Scattering!

However, Deng Yin was such an Evil Demon who dared to counter the lion's roar with his demon sound. Despite falling behind in attack and defense, he detected the Nine Spirits Primordial Spirit's intention to run away, longing to escape to the Lower Realm.

An Evil Demon does not fear opponents with strong power but dreads opponents with an impeccable heart.

They do not fear strong will but dread when the opponent has no desires or requests...

Deng Yin then cast the Blood Buddha Great Method across the void, tempting and aiding the nine-headed lion in leaving the Miao Yan Palace.

Soon, the lion's roar in the sky went silent...

He restored 50,000 Blood Buddha Golden Bodies to their original state, spewing Blood Qi, causing the blood clouds to thicken, with Blood Thunder and Blood Rain raging.

300,000 Blood God's sons leaped and scattered within the blood clouds and rain, encircling the top of Taishan.

Thus far, the intensity between both sides was limited, with neither unleashing their full strength.

Deng Yin awaited the Princess of Stone God from below; they had agreed on this arrangement, Deng Yin above and the princess below.

The Giant Wood God Monarch knew well what the Princess of Stone God intended to do, and specifically dispatched Lu Yu to stop her.

He thought it would be foolproof, but the Iron City Mountain Demon acted at this moment...

As the Princess of Stone God also emitted a Secret Demon Sound and let out a shocking long howl, bloodwater gushed from beneath Taishan.

Taishan, with its springs, streams, and waterfalls, turned entirely red, becoming bloodwater.

Additionally, from the crevices in rocks and soil, bloodwater emerged incessantly.

These blood waters gathered increasingly, rising higher and higher, starting from the foot of Taishan, continuously rising.

With blood clouds pressing down from above, bloodwater surged from below, with bloodrain, blood qi, Blood Thunder, and Blood Hail uncontrollably falling in between.

The Princess of Stone God flew out and joined Deng Yin amidst the pervasive blood qi: "Today, blood floods Taishan! Giant Wood old one, your fate is sealed!"

The Giant Wood God Monarch did not respond, merely showing a cold smile, quietly watching the rising tide of blood water and qi swiftly engulf Taishan.
