Chapter 1390 - 736: The Terror of the Heaven-Burning Demon Lord

In those eyes filled with violence, a trace of reason and clarity gradually appeared.

After a long time, with a bang, countless flames converged as Heaven-Burning Ancestor fell to the ground, his expression ugly.

"Has Heaven-Burning Demon Lord... regained consciousness?"

The Demon Venerables present were shocked at the scene, yet dared not speak.

"Pay respects to the Ancestor!"

Heaven-Burning Ancestor prostrated on the ground, bowing with the Phoenix Clan’s salute.

The Five Virtues Phoenix Master nodded slightly, then spoke:

"You are assimilated with the Great Dao; it is the will of the heavens. Even if I intervene, it would only delay your awakening for a brief moment."

"Yes..."

Heaven-Burning Ancestor lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Even though he was previously in a state of madness, upon awakening, with his Venerable Peak power and nearly Daoist Lord level, he understood his predicament.

Dao transformation is absolutely irreversible. Even with the so-called Immortal Embryo, it would require abandoning all previous power.

"Worry not, I will arrange for your descendants, and they will inherit everything you leave behind."

"Even with my intervention, your current state only allows for brief clarity."

"Now, I need you to do something else."

Having heard this, Heaven-Burning Ancestor dared not refuse, nor could he refuse:

"Please instruct me, Ancestor."

The Five Virtues Phoenix Master flicked his fingers, sending a soft glow to Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s forehead.

In an instant, Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s eyes widened, then quickly relaxed.

"Please rest assured, Ancestor, I will undoubtedly fulfill the task."

"Go."

The Five Virtues Phoenix Master nodded slightly, thoughts spinning as the entire Emperor Palace began to hum.

Boom!

Instantly, all within the Emperor Palace took action, like a storm, space ripples surged in towering waves.

At this moment, a space fissure suddenly appeared before Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

In the fissure was a Heavenly Dao path adorned with red phoenix patterns.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Heaven-Burning Ancestor rushed into this fissure, directly from the Underground Palace to the Fifth Floor of Ten Thousand Gods Cave.

In the next moment, he was quickly approaching the Sixth Floor along the Heavenly Dao path.

With each breath forward, Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s Five Virtues power visibly weakened, as if boiling water in a pot.

At this point, the clarity in his eyes also diminished, with madness and brutality gradually flooding his heart.

"Kill! Kill those enemies of the Phoenix Clan!"

In the void, a crimson fiery arc surged forward, like a meteor falling to the lowest level of Ten Thousand Gods Cave.

...

"What has the Demon Race done now!?"

Jiang Shu, Phecda Daoist Venerable, Taiwu Daoist Venerable, and other powerful figures raised their heads in shock, staring at the beam of light.

The power unleashed by the Ten Thousand Demons Formation was indescribable.

It shook the entire Golden Crow Realm.

Jiang Shu even suspected that if not for the Golden Crow Realm absorbing numerous Little Worlds, it might be collapsing now.

In an instant, countless moonlights suddenly gathered before them.

Xi’e.

The remnant thoughts of the Heavenly Empress appeared again.

Jiang Shu’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the Heavenly Empress, immediately speaking: "What exactly is happening?"

At this moment, all decorum among allies was forgotten as they quickly inquired.

"A rather powerful entity has arrived. The Ten Thousand Demons Formation provided a coordinate, and in the void, it is rapidly approaching."

Xi’e slowly raised her hand, a water mirror emerging.

Now, the mirror reflected the boundless starry sky, along with a red radiance darting like a meteor.

"This, this is..."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shu and Taiwu Daoist Venerable were undeniably most shocked.

Because they recognized the object, or rather the demon.

"Heaven-Burning Demon Lord!"

Jiang Shu spoke in a deep voice, not expecting Heaven-Burning Demon Lord to come again.

Evidently, such actions prove a Demon Lord from the Demon Race intervened again.

Otherwise, given Heaven-Burning Demon Lord’s muddled state, after escaping the Emperor Palace, he should have first slaughtered demons in the Demon Domain.

Coming to the Ten Thousand Gods Cave signifies Heaven-Burning Demon Lord, at least now, maintains temporary clarity.

Without a Demon Lord’s intervention, it’s impossible.

Moreover, with the current Human Clan and Demon Race standoff, ordinary Demon Venerables entering is ineffective.

Only methods akin to a Demon Lord can truly reverse the situation.

Yet, a Demon Lord’s action might attract numerous Daoist Venerables, triggering Heavenly Dao’s response.

The best solution is for Heaven-Burning Demon Lord, a destined sacrifice, to undertake life-and-death sacrifice.

Upon hearing Jiang Shu mention Heaven-Burning Demon Lord.

All Daoist Venerables around frowned.

They had long known about the Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s madness and power surge, yet were surprised by his critical intervention now.

"Which Phoenix is this?"

The Celestial Court Demon Venerable hurriedly asked.

"This is Heaven-Burning Ancestor, a Phoenix Clan powerhouse, who ascended to a Half-step Daoist Lord Realm using the formation. But for some reason, now his cultivation nears the Demon Lord realm."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke solemnly, "Though he previously lost his mind, his power is extraordinary; I’m no match for him."
