Chapter 677: 146, Breaking Array_2
"Everyone need not worry, that Demon God is willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate the Summer King for our Demon Clan."
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor said, "This information was passed from Di Hong City by a significant figure from Great Yong who has aligned with our Demon Ancestor. His connection to that Demon God should be deep. Even if he hides his traces, he can still contact that Demon God."
"A Human Clan's great power?" A Demon Ancestor with flame-like pupils slightly frowned and said, "Who is he? Is he trustworthy?"
"Cannot say."
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor replied blandly, "Our Demon Clan isn't completely united, so we cannot expose his identity, but I can assure you, this person is definitely trustworthy. The contributions he has made to our Demon Clan over the years are greater than everyone present. Although he doesn't wish for the Human Clan to be destroyed, he sincerely wants to help us break through Great Yong."
Hearing this, the Demon Ancestors and Demon Gods did not pursue any further.
"In that case, let the Demon God take action."
A Demon Ancestor spoke, "Has he cultivated the Second Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method? If he lets the second primordial spirit take action, his true self can also survive."
"He didn't cultivate the second primordial spirit before entering Great Yong." The Heavenly Demon Ancestor shook his head and said, "The second primordial spirit must reincarnate, but the Crown Prince can always inspect the reincarnation. How could he dare to do this?"
All the demon clan great powers fell silent.
Indeed.
As the second primordial spirit of the Demon God, to dare reincarnate into the cycles within Great Yong, the Crown Prince would surely detect it, wouldn't that be exposing his identity?
But...
This would mean sacrificing the Demon God himself.
"According to the messages from Great Yong, the Demon God has already prepared. Regardless of success or failure, he is a hero to our Demon Clan."
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor gravely said, "But he currently doesn't dare to or can't make a move because the Second Prince has long sealed a part of his primordial spirit within the Summer King. If he dares to return to the world and makes even a slight probe, the Second Prince will surely discover his presence. Coupled with the Crown Prince descending with heavenly wrath in a single thought, he knows he has no chance of killing the Summer King."
After speaking, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's gaze swept over the demon clan great powers present, saying, "So, he sent back messages asking the clan to think of a way to assist him."
The Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors fell into contemplation.
But after a long while, no one could come up with a good solution.
"No need to think further, there's simply no strategy that could work."
A gentle voice, like a dreamy whisper, sounded, "The Crown Prince is invincible in Great Yong by borrowing the power of the Dao, and the Second Prince is a supreme expert in the psychic lineage. In terms of strategy, the Crown Prince can use Heavenly Calculation to deduce all possibilities, and the Second Prince is also penetratingly aware of people's hearts. The Demon God has no chance to make a move."
The speaker was a woman in white, her presence like an ethereal dream.
"Dream Demon Ancestor is correct. Even if we come up with some methods, they would surely be anticipated by the Crown Prince and Second Prince."
"These two have been contending with our Demon Clan since ancient times, deeply understanding our methods. Didn't we suffer enough, thinking we had seized the opportunity to besiege Great Yong eighty years ago?"
"These two... Sigh..."
"What is to be done?"
One by one, the Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors sighed.
"Meng Tu, you mean..." The Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at Dream Demon Ancestor.
"We have been struggling with those two for tens of thousands of years without managing to defeat them, let alone in Great Yong where we can't even intervene?"
Dream Demon Ancestor softly said, "Give up, we cannot kill the Summer King."
"Give up?"
The Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors frowned deeply.
How could they let go of a colossal threat that might grasp the Ultimate Path, potentially overturning the entire Demon Clan in the future?
"But... we could change our perspective."
Dream Demon Ancestor said lightly, "We can't kill the Summer King because the Crown Prince and Second Prince's attention is completely focused on him, but they can't possibly attend to the whole of Great Yong."
"Therefore, we need not waste time on the Summer King. We were unable to break the Great Yong Divine Formation in the past because our Demon Clan's strength within Great Yong was insufficient."
She slowly spoke, "But now it's different, with a Demon God already inside Great Yong. As long as we can break the Great Yong Divine Formation like eighty years ago, even just its periphery, restraining the Crown Prince's Dao's power, allowing more Demon Gods to infiltrate Great Yong with our clan's treasures, how could we not kill the Summer King?"
Her words struck the Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors to their core.
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor pondered for a moment, then said, "I agree with Dream Demon Ancestor."
"We naturally agree as well."
"If it succeeds, that would be good, but how to break the array?"
"The Great Yong Divine Formation's foundations are spread throughout Great Yong. The Second Prince cannot attend to everything, and the Crown Prince can hardly oversee the big picture, but once the Demon God acts, wouldn't he also be doomed?"
"Even with Duanmu Yan covering, given his unpredictable nature, still seems unlikely."
"After the events of eighty years ago, even if the Divine Emperor does not act against our Demon Clan, how could the Crown Prince and Second Prince not guard against this?"
Hearing this, the Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors again frowned.
Dream Demon Ancestor gently shook her head and said, "Everyone is missing the point, those who should break the array are not from our Demon Clan but... the Star Lord."
"The Star Lord?"
"He has never been willing to conspire with our Demon Clan, except for helping with the Duanmu Yan affair, and that was only because of that unpredictable guardian."
"Is there a way to persuade him?"
The Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors all spoke up.
"No need to persuade him." The Heavenly Demon Ancestor calmly said, "Although the Star Lord is unwilling to conspire with our Demon Clan, his goal has always been to destroy the Great Yong Divine Formation. As long as we give him the opportunity to break the formation, he will naturally act."
He gazed slowly around, saying, "The key lies in opportunity, as long as the Crown Prince doesn't have time to protect all the formation bases of the Great Yong Divine Formation, the Star Lord has the chance to break the array, and that will be enough."
"Then we can only scheme based on the Great Yong's national fortune and the Human Clan's fate..."
"Why not bring out the treasures that the Prison Demon God brought from the old days? Only the handiwork of the Genesis child's descendant could suppress the Crown Prince..."
"Since that's the case..."
...
...
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
On the eve of New Year's.
Deep within Di Hong City, at the center of the Heavenly Weapon Pool in the Imperial Palace of Great Yong.
Lin Yue sat cross-legged casually, playing with a dagger seemingly made from fangs with one hand, while flipping through a book with the other.
A strand of his consciousness also entered the illusion realm within the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin, experimenting with occasionally emerging inspirations and ideas.
Meanwhile, another strand of consciousness was at the Observatory of Tianxia Building, using the Heavenly Dao Heart to deduce a newly created cultivation method.
Multi-tasking like this was not difficult for him.
Suddenly—
"Finally..."
Lin Yue's lips curved into a joyful smile, "Just in time for the day before New Year. Not bad."
He glanced at the dagger in his hand and casually tossed it aside, the dagger reluctantly swayed towards him.
"I can't handle daggers, you'd better stay here."
Lin Yue chuckled, then effortlessly summoned one of the three semi-divine artifacts, a cyan wooden bow, into his hand. The bow emitted an aura of happiness.
"I can make use of you, before I harmonize with the Dao, follow me."
The wooden bow radiated excitement, as if expressing its honor.
At this moment, a stream of air drifted from Lin Yue's storage treasure, forming the image of a young woman, it was the spirit of Yanfu.
"Are you ready?" Yanfu's spirit asked.
"Yes."
Lin Yue nodded, "I have comprehended the Dao of these three semi-divine artifacts, already integrating them into my Ultimate Path. There's no need for further visits."
"Juggling so many things so quickly?" Yanfu's spirit couldn't help but exclaim, "Even in ancient times, your perception is the most terrifying I've ever seen."
Lin Yue laughed, "You were born not long before the Eternal Night, you haven't seen many geniuses, have you?"
"I've still seen quite a few." Yanfu's spirit huffed, asking, "You've been contemplating the Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Method lately, have you created a better one?"
"I've made some progress."
Lin Yue casually replied, "Now, the cultivation method I've created has about a sixty percent success rate for spirit and body unity."
"That's so high?" Yanfu's spirit was surprised, "As I recall, the best Spirit and Body Unity Cultivation Method your Human Clan has is only fifty percent success, right?"
"Viewed from another angle, that's a forty percent chance of soul dissolution."
Lin Yue shook his head slightly, "Just sixty percent isn't nearly enough, I still need to continue perfecting it."
