Chapter 40 The Demon Emperor Dijun Takes Action, Suppressing and Killing Hou Yi!
“What is he trying to do?”
The same thought surfaced in the minds of everyone from the Xiao family, their tension reaching its peak. They already knew the answer. But they couldn’t bring themselves to believe it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows shot out at once, like a rain of falling stars and fire. The spiritual energy across tens of thousands of miles surged violently. It transformed into raging tides of spiritual power, madly rushing toward the three divine arrows.
In an instant, they soared to the heavens, piercing through three suns.
“Aaaaahhhh…”
A series of agonized screams echoed down from the nine heavens as the three brilliant suns simultaneously exploded. They turned into three blood-soaked, falling three-legged golden crows, crashing to the earth.
At that exact moment, the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family skipped a beat. It was too shocking!
Three suns had been pierced at once.
The remaining three-legged golden crows roared in fury, unleashing countless blasts of divine golden crow fire. But now they were afraid. They no longer dared to challenge the towering giant and scattered in all directions. Yet the colossal giant did not stop.
Instead, he once again drew his bow and nocked his arrows.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
…
Five divine arrows were fired in succession, each one carrying supreme divine power, claiming the life of a three-legged Golden Crow. Golden blood sprayed wildly across the sky, drenching the heavens and earth!
Just a moment ago, the Golden Crows had been flaunting their might, seemingly ready to destroy the world — now, they were nothing but corpses. The members of the Xiao family were completely immersed in shock.
“This person is too powerful — definitely the strongest of this era!”
“He’s terrifying. If I had even one-billionth of his strength in this life, I could die without regret.”
“He’s a savior. Without him, this world would already be destroyed.”
“I can’t even imagine that such a powerful being exists in this world.”
…
The Xiao family members were all talking at once, their gazes toward the towering giant filled with boundless awe and reverence. But Xiao Yueying remained silent, her eyes fixed firmly on the heavens. She did not believe this matter would end here!
That colossal giant was indeed incredibly strong — he had slain the Golden Crow Crown Prince, bearer of the royal bloodline, with a single arrow. But that was the Golden Crow Crown Prince!
Behind him stood the overwhelmingly powerful Heavenly Court of the Demon Race!
Behind him stood the all-powerful Demon Emperor Dijun!
Where was the Demon Race’s Heavenly Court?
Where was the Demon Emperor Dijun?
Could they really allow their own crown prince to be slaughtered like this without retaliation?
Just as Xiao Yueying’s heart surged with disbelief, a thunderous voice echoed across the skies.
“Hou Yi of the Wu Tribe, you go too far!”
Boom! Boom! Boom-boom-boom!
The thunderous sound came from the heavens above—cold, indifferent, like an emperor gazing down from on high, ruling over all creation, his divine might as oppressive as a prison.
The moment the voice faded, the void suddenly split open into a massive abyss, and an overwhelming divine pressure descended from the sky!
The members of the Xiao Clan felt their hearts tremble and quickly looked up. There, they saw an incomparably enormous golden hand tearing through layers of space, crashing down from the heavens. Its surface shimmered with divine patterns, inscribed with countless heavenly laws, as if it were the only light in existence—dispersing darkness and embracing all illumination.
The ten-thousand-zhang-tall giant was already unimaginably massive, able to step over wild, ancient mountains as if they were mere stones. But this golden hand was even larger, descending with unstoppable power, aiming to crush the giant outright!
“Hea… heavens!”
“Whose hand is that? Could it be a Great Emperor?”
“Is ‘Great Emperor’ all you ever think of? That’s clearly the hand of a god!”
“Exactly! This is the hand of a divine being—an expression of Heaven’s will!”
“The giant was too powerful, so Heaven sent down divine punishment!”
“I think the divine voice mentioned a name—Hou Yi? Could this ten-thousand-zhang giant be called Hou Yi?”
“What’s the Wu Tribe? Never even heard of it!”
…
The Xiao Clan members boiled with excitement once more. That ten-thousand-zhang-tall giant, like a savior, was incomparably mighty—his nine arrows had slain nine suns, radiating unmatched glory and invincibility.
In just an instant, he turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Under the crushing pressure of the golden hand, he couldn’t even move!
Could this truly be the hand of a god?
Or perhaps the will of the heavens themselves?
Had the giant grown so powerful that even the gods could no longer tolerate him?
What did the words of the divine being truly mean?
Why was the god reprimanding the colossal giant?
And who exactly was Houyi of the Wu tribe?
Countless questions flooded everyone’s minds. They strained their eyes toward the sky, trying to pierce through the endless divine radiance and see clearly who was delivering this heavenly punishment.
It was as if the illusion realm responded to their yearning, and the scene began to rapidly zoom out.
Further and further…
The crowd looked toward the shattered firmament, their hearts pounding with excitement. They saw that above the dome of the sky, there was yet another layer of heavens!
This higher heaven was even grander, shrouded in immortal mist, and faintly visible was a majestic, solemn divine court standing atop the clouds.
Before the immense heavenly gates stood countless mighty demons. At the very front were two three-legged golden crows, both dressed in imperial attire, their eyes filled with fury and sorrow. The entire sky seemed to resonate with their emotions, exuding an aura of grief.
The moment Xiao Yueying saw the leading golden crow, she trembled violently and shouted, “Dijun! That’s Dijun! The Demon Emperor Dijun! The supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court!”
“What? The Demon Race’s Heavenly Court?”
“That palace built in the sky… is the Heavenly Court?”
“That golden palm print must have been cast by the Demon Emperor Dijun himself!”
“The Supreme Heavenly Emperor, who acts on behalf of the heavens—who could possibly resist him?”
“The giant must have kicked a steel plate this time. He’s surely doomed!”
…
The Xiao family members erupted into another frenzy of discussion, almost to the point of madness. Before today, who could have imagined that the Three-Legged Golden Crows could transform into suns, burning billions of lives to ashes?
Who could have imagined a towering humanoid figure, ten thousand zhang tall, wielding a divine bow and shooting down a sun with a single arrow, clearing the skies and restoring the world?
And who could have imagined that above even the Golden Crows, there existed a dazzling Heavenly Court—a Demon Race’s Heavenly Court established above the heavens?
Alas…
Countless sighs echoed.
The Demon Race’s Heavenly Court stood high above the firmament, ruling the celestial realm.
With the Supreme Heavenly Emperor descending to deliver divine judgment, even a savior-like giant, no matter how powerful, could only be crushed to death.
Yet just as despair engulfed the crowd—From the farthest reaches of the earth came a violent tremor. A majestic aura, equal in might to the Demon Race’s Heavenly Court, erupted from the earth’s extreme edge.
It was as if the slumbering overlord of the land had just opened his eyes.
