The Twenty-Second: The Rage of Kunpeng Shakes Heaven and Earth

  Just as the crowd was about to be slaughtered, a loud roar came from Mount Buzhou: "I am Kunpeng, who dares to be reckless and slaughter the human race here?"

  As soon as Kunpeng's voice fell, an iron ruler flew out from Mount Buzhou and appeared in front of the crowd of demons. It suddenly grew larger and struck down at Taotie and Qiongqi, who were caught off guard. The two beasts were smashed to pieces, their brains bursting open, and their spirits annihilated.

  The Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi were shocked to see this, these two powerful beasts, each with a Golden Immortal late-stage cultivation, who would have thought that in just one round they would all be killed, it seems that Kunpeng's strength is far higher than they had imagined, and now they are secretly on guard.

  Everyone thought that today would be the end of their lives, but who knew there was still such a twist. Suddenly, a figure flew in from Mount Buzhou and stood before everyone. This person was none other than the demon master Kunpeng.

  Kun Peng had just come out of his closed door, and he had already calculated the great disaster of the human race. He rushed over immediately, and it happened to be at this critical moment that he saved all the people of the human race.

  Everyone was overjoyed and tearful, saying that the Holy Master would not abandon our human tribe after all. Under the leadership of Suirenshi, everyone knelt down to the two and said: "Holy Master, your longevity is boundless, we hope you can save our human tribe."

  Looking at the withered and yellow-skinned people, Kunpeng couldn't help but feel that the human tribe had suffered a great calamity in just a hundred years of his observation. Although he knew that the demon tribe was responsible for this, he also felt that the saints' indulgence towards the demon tribe was to blame. His heart seething with anger, Kunpeng couldn't help but deeply resent those selfish and self-serving saints who stood high above.

  Kunpeng stood before the crowd, gazing up at the sky. A surge of heroic passion rose with his anger, and he began to curse: "Taishang Laojun, you established your own teachings, calling yourself the most revered of all humanity, daily receiving incense offerings from humans. Now that humanity is in trouble, you stand idly by. Though you are a sage, what face do you have to stand before heaven and earth?"

  In the Eight Scenic Palace, Taishang Laojun was sitting with his eyes closed, but when he heard these words, his eyes suddenly opened wide. However, after a moment, he let out a long sigh and did not take any action.

  "Kunpeng scolded again: 'Nüwa, you are the holy mother of humanity, and all humans are your children. When they encounter difficulties, you don't even notice or ask about it. How can your conscience bear it? Laojun's indifference is still understandable, but as a mother to humans, this is inexcusable.'"

  In the palace of Nüwa, the goddess heard Kunpeng's words and was furious in her heart. She didn't want to be like this either, but as a saint of the demon clan, what could she do? She couldn't help but feel conflicted, unlike Laojun who had a different state of mind.

  Kunpeng scolds, how can the saint not know? It's just that for now, he can't be hurt. Kunpeng had just received the worship of the Honghuang people, but was killed by himself. He is afraid that in the future, the Taoist sect will not be able to develop even half a step in the world. However, although the saint does not die or perish, he attaches great importance to his reputation. Just now, he was scolded by Kunpeng in front of the Honghuang people, but Laojun's mood is high and he doesn't care about Kunpeng's words too much. Niwa, on the other hand, can't take it. She has the lowest cultivation among the saints, so she gets angry immediately.

  The sage exerted his power, and the heavens and earth changed color. A group of dark clouds gathered in the sky, as if they were about to press down on Kunpeng. Kunpeng felt his legs go weak, and he almost knelt down. How could Kunpeng not know that this was the sage's mighty power? But at this moment, it concerned his own prestige among humans, and he vowed to resist until death. With great effort, he steadied his body, but the sage's power was still too much for him, a quasi-sage, to bear. In an instant, he was injured by Nüwa's vital energy, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body barely managed to stand upright.

  After Zi Yuanchen transformed into the Heavenly Path, the Sage was the highest existence. Everyone who saw the Sage trembled with fear, but Kunpeng dared to scold the Sage for the first time since the creation of the world, and it was a double scolding at that. As a result, everyone admired Kunpeng's courage.

  Actually, Kunpeng did this for two reasons: one was that Nüwa had gone too far, and the other was that he wanted to take a gamble. If he didn't die after going through this calamity, then from now on he would be able to permanently obtain one-tenth of humanity's luck.

  The two emperors, Jun and Taiyi, were dissatisfied with Kunpeng's assistance to the human tribe, but seeing Kunpeng's boldness made them feel relieved. Before the sage appeared, the two relied on their treasures and could be said to have been walking sideways in the vast expanse of the universe. However, once the sage emerged, they found themselves suppressed everywhere. Therefore, although they were currently in an adversarial state with Kunpeng, they did not launch a group attack by the demons, but instead watched from the sidelines as the sage lost face.

  At this time, Kunpeng naturally knew that it was Niangniang who attacked him. He only heard him coldly hum a sound and said: "Niangniang, if you have the ability, you can directly kill me. Are you still a saint with such sneaky behavior?"

  Kunpeng has great merit, so Nüwa cannot bear to kill him. However, seeing Kunpeng's audacity, she is at a loss for what to do. Just now, with just one strike, the Heavenly Way warned her. Helpless, she can only let Emperor Jun, the Demon King, take action and help her out of this predicament.

  Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Kunpeng thought to himself that the Honghuang tribe was so kind and only repaid kindness without remembering grievances. If this continued, they would likely suffer even more pain in the future. He sternly shouted at the crowd: "Heaven is not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs. You should get up, it's just one death, nothing big, what are you crying about!"

  The crowd heard Kunpeng's words, their hearts and minds shaken, they stopped kneeling and prostrating themselves, supporting the elderly and holding children, all stood up, each puffed out their chest, following Kunpeng to loudly shout towards the vast sky: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all living things as straw dogs!" Their voices echoed throughout the desolate wilderness...

  The human race is like an ant, in the midst of the vast and numerous tribes of the Primordial Chaos, living a life that is most humble and insignificant. Yet, it was chosen by the Heavenly Way as the main protagonist of the Primordial Chaos, and there must be something worthy about it. The key lies in the two words "faith". With faith, there is pursuit; with pursuit, there is change. And so, the human race has been slowly developing itself over thousands of years.

  A million-strong tribe, with a determination to die, accused heaven and earth. What a magnificent sight! The heavenly way was moved by the response of life, only to see that in an instant, the winds and clouds raged, the sun and moon changed color, and the heavens and earth trembled! Those saintly onlookers who witnessed this scene also felt a chill in their hearts, and couldn't help but think that even ants should not be underestimated.

  In the Zi Xiao Palace, the Taoist ancestor Hong Jun, who had already transformed into the Heavenly Way, looked at all this with a cold expression, but his face was expressionless. He suddenly nodded slightly and then summoned two young boys from outside the palace, instructing them in a few words.

  But then the demon emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi sat on top of Yun's head, initially still enthusiastically watching Kunpeng scolding the saint, who would have thought that Kunpeng would make such a big commotion again.

  Looking at the anxious crowd of demons beside him, he thought that if Kunpeng continued to cause trouble, today's formation might not be able to hold. At this point, Donghuang Taishang struck the Chaos Bell in his hand, and the ancient, sonorous sound spread out, ethereal and lingering, stopping everyone from moving.

  Kunpeng knew that today's battle was inevitable, and he didn't hold back either. He held the "Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Gong De Chi" high in his hand, and placed the newly refined "Pangu Ding" on top of his head. The Pangu Ding transformed into a brain-sized cauldron, emitting a mysterious yellow light that protected his entire body.

  The Demon Emperor Jun saw the 'Pangu Ding' and his eyes lit up, he waved his hand and tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals charged forward. Kunpeng also didn't speak, raised the 'Jiutian Yuanyang Gongde Chi' and struck directly, but only saw that where the ruler passed, pieces of blood mist rose into the air, and tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals were killed like cutting vegetables, in an instant they were all killed without leaving a single armor. It turned out that Kunpeng on the one hand deeply hated these demons for helping the tiger to bully, slaughtering innocent people, and on the other hand also wanted to establish his dominance in front of everyone, so he didn't show any mercy with his hands, beating the demons to death.

  Just now, the battle was just a probing attack, but Emperor Jun did not expect that 500,000 demon soldiers and generals would be so vulnerable in Kunpeng's hands. He was so angry that he let out a cold hum, stepped down from the cloud head, and the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure "River Map" and "Luo Book" flew out of his hand, straight towards Kunpeng.

  Kunpeng thought that his own state of mind was close to the perfect and great, and he also wanted to try his hand at Emperor Jun, the 'River Map' and 'Luo Book' were those pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, born from chaos, and he also wanted to see the power of these two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures.

  Kunpeng threw the 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' into the air, and the 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' shone brightly in the air, but it did not fly towards the 'River Chart' or the 'Luo Book', instead flying onto the 'Pangu Cauldron' on Kunpeng's head, merging with the light emitted by the 'Pangu Cauldron'.

  At this moment, the 'River Chart' and 'Luo Book' arrived, like a boundless large net, about to wrap up Kunpeng, but was blocked by the Xuan Huang Qi released by Pangu Ding and Jiutian Yuanyang Gongde Chi, unable to advance.

  At this time, Kunpeng had only beheaded one corpse, but his cultivation was still above that of the quasi-sage middle period's Yao Huangdi Jun. The 'River Chart' and 'Luo Book' were pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, but the 'Pangu Cauldron' and 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' on Kunpeng's head were post-heavenly merit treasures, with the protection of the mysterious yellow energy of heaven and earth. Even if it were a pre-heavenly treasure, it would be difficult to break through Kunpeng's defense, let alone the 'River Chart' and 'Luo Book', which were only pre-heavenly spiritual treasures.

  At this moment, the Demon Emperor Jun felt a bit embarrassed, and his heart was secretly crying out in distress. The quasi-sage realm couldn't make the divine power within him grow and flourish, so Emperor Jun also had a feeling of being unable to exert himself. The 'River Chart' and 'Luo Book' were becoming increasingly difficult to control, and could only slowly retreat under the counterattack of the mysterious yellow energy.

  Kunpeng had long wanted to deal with the demon emperor Jun, but he never had the chance. This time, Emperor Jun came to his door himself. If Kunpeng couldn't teach him a lesson, it would be difficult for him to stand firm in Honghuang in the future. So, Kunpeng exerted his magical powers and directly smashed the 'Nine Heavens Original Yang Merit Ruler' onto Emperor Jun's head.

  The Emperor Jun was delighted to see Kunpeng exerting his full strength, 'He Tu' and 'Luo Shu' were indeed top-notch pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, ranking among the top ten in terms of defensive power among the many spiritual treasures in Hongyuan. Kunpeng had never had any good spiritual treasures before, so Emperor Jun only needed to exhaust Kunpeng's strength, and then he would be at his mercy. Unfortunately, Emperor Jun did not discover the true identity of this 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler', thus suffering a great loss.

  When the 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Body' arrived, Emperor Jun looked at the situation and only then did he realize that this treasure was not ordinary. Wanting to dodge was already too late, under the pressure of Shi Nai, Emperor Jun could only use the 'River Chart' and 'Luo Book' to protect himself, barely withstanding Kun Peng's attack.

  The "River Chart" and "Luo Book" were indeed pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, but under the attack of the post-heavenly Meritorious Virtue Treasure, they quickly fell. The "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Meritorious Virtue Ruler" struck Emperor Jun's body, instantly causing him to spit out fresh blood and fall backwards in a straight line.

  Everyone was shocked that Kunpeng could wound Emperor Jun so quickly, especially since Kunpeng had been wounded by the Holy One just a moment before. His strength must have decreased, yet he was still able to swiftly wound Emperor Jun, which showed how profound his cultivation was. The Holy Ones outside the Nine Heavens also felt unbelievable upon seeing Kunpeng's cultivation.
