Chapter 426: What Happened? Everything Didn’t Go As Planned

　　Vroom!

　　Instantly, the demonic Qi rushed to the sky. Countless demonic clouds covered the sun and dimmed the light. They were rushing in one direction.

　　The powerful demonic power was vulgar, making the world change colors.

　　Lord Kunpeng was in the middle of the group. His eyes glinted. He was wondering how all the demons he sent out failed their mission.

　　He thought it through. None of that should have happened.

　　Those were merely some Dog Demons, and yet, they made two Taiyi Golden Immortals lose touch with him. The Nine-Tailed Fox was even wilder. He sent out a Daluo Golden Immortal along with three powerful demons and many smaller demons. And yet, none of them made it back! Did they all fail? Impossible!

　　“Rubbish! They ruined my plan!”

　　Lord Kunpeng could not help growling, “Those were merely some Dog Demons, Nine-Tailed Fox and Phoenix. They can’t even get them? Then I don’t want to keep those demons either!”

　　The Pig Demon by the side said, “Lord, why don’t we start off by killing the Nine-Tailed Fox and Dog Demons?”

　　“Hmph! Do you think I did all these to attack the fox and dogs?” Lord Kunpeng glared at the Pig Demon. He said coldly, “They’re just some by-products. I can easily kill the fox and the tiny dog. My aim is the…Heavenly Temple!”

　　Pig Demon realized and said, “So you want to invade the Heavenly Temple! The Lord’s very ambitious.”

　　“What do you mean by invade? I’m owning it!” Lord Kunpeng corrected the Pig Demon. “The Heavenly Temple was originally a temple for demons. It belongs to my kind. How’s that invading?”

　　Pig Demon said, “You’re right, my Lord.”

　　Lord Kunpeng said calmly, “With your intelligence, there’s no point in me speaking to you about this. Ask everyone to hurry up, we’ll launch a surprise attack and leave them no chance to prepare!”

　　Instantly, the demonic clouds traveled quicker, leaving a long line of demonic Qi lingering in the air.

　　After half an hour, the demonic clouds went to a valley. The gigantic shadow covered up the entire valley.

　　The powerful Qi rushed up from the demonic clouds like water. The demons in the valley all shivered in terror. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

　　Daji and Fire Phoenix looked serious. They walked out from the valley and looked at the demon cloud. Behind them, many demons looked up and felt uneasy.

　　“What a terrifying Qi!” Black Bear Demon shrunk its neck. “Really? Do they need so many demons to attack us?”

　　Wild Boar Demon’s tiny eyes bulged as it gulped uneasily. “Little Green, it’s over. We’re over this time!”

　　Little Green the Python Demon had turned into half-human and half-python. Its long python tail was twisting behind it. It said, “Are you scared? Look at the demon cloud, there’s a Pig Demon up there. It seems to be quite high up in the rankings. Go and make friends with the pig, who knows, it might let you stay with them.”

　　“Scared? I’ve worked my way up here from the ordinary realm. What made that happen? It was all because of my Demon King!” Wild Boar Demon said with a straight face. “We worked our way up here from the ordinary realm. We’re seniors here! You want me to take their side? Really?”

　　Black Bear Demon praised, “Nicely said! Old pig, I’m looking at you differently now. I didn’t expect you to speak with such profoundness.”

　　Little Green said in a serious tone, “The three of us have been following our Demon King all along. We’ve seen things that we wouldn’t have seen in our entire life. We’ve tasted delicious food beyond our imagination. Although those were only the leftovers…but those gave us a lot of opportunities! We’ve come to where we are today…so what if we die!”

　　Meanwhile, a powerful Qi rushed down from the demon cloud. It was very powerful, as if something had erupted. All of the surrounding trees bent from the sheer force of it. Many small demons had crashed on the ground. It was a mess.

　　Little Green and the other two instantly lost the courage they just built. Little Green could not help saying weakly, “If only Lord Dog’s here, I’d feel safe no matter how many of them are here.”

　　Wild Boar Demon said, “Lord Demon will step in? I think so. After all, it made me into this fat pig. It wouldn’t let others have my meat.”

　　Black Bear nodded. “You’re right, that same goes for my bear meat.”

　　On top of the demon cloud.

　　Lord Kunpeng looked down from above and smiled mockingly. It had a nonchalant look and said calmly, “That Nine-Tailed Fox has quite some connections. She managed to gather so many demons. However, they’re not at all powerful! As the Ancestor of all demons, I’ll give them all a chance as a gesture to the Nine-Tail Fox and Fire Phoenix!”

　　“Lord Kunpeng, I understand!”

　　The Pig Demon understood what Lord Kunpeng meant. It marched forward and yelled, “Lord Kunpeng’s the Ancestor of all demons. Now that we don’t have a Demon King, Lord Kunpeng’s the rightful candidate. Nine-Tailed Fox, Fire Phoenix, you two are powerful demons. Don’t take it wrongly. Lord Kunpeng’s feeling generous and is willing to give you all a second chance. Put down your weapons and surrender right now!”

　　Daji’s face was cold. She looked up and said, “Impossible! If you want to fight, we fight!”

　　“Ha, goodbye then!”

　　Lord Kunpeng scoffed and did not waste any more time. He lifted his hand and slammed his palm down from the air.

　　Vroom!

　　Instantly, a powerful pressure fell on the heads of all demons in the valley. The destructive Qi erupted. Before it arrived, the highest point in the valley had already been turned into dust. It had been destroyed!

　　This Qi had no shape or form, but it appeared in the hearts of the demons. It made them panic and go wild as if they would vanish in the next moment.

　　Meanwhile, a painting suddenly appeared on top of Daji’s head. It then gradually unscrolled itself. It was a painting of a mountain and river. It floated in the air and turned the Qi of Lord Kunpeng into nothing.

　　“The Land of Mountains and Rivers Painting?”

　　Lord Kunpeng’s eyes glinted. His expression did not change. He flipped his hand and a big golden stamp appeared in it. As his hands moved, the stamp grew even bigger. In no time, it was as big as a rockery. Two words were seen at the bottom of the stamp!

　　Vroom!

　　As the golden stamp appeared, the air seemed to be unable to contain such an item. It started making sounds as if the air was about to crack open.

　　As the massive stamp landed, an even more powerful Qi crashed down. Even though it was far away, everyone found it hard to breathe, as if the sky was about to collapse.

　　Vroom!

　　The massive golden stamp attacked the world projected by the painting. Instantly, the projection was destroyed by the stamp.

　　However, following that, a new world with tall mountains and prosperous land came out. It was an even more advanced world, defending the attack from the gigantic stamp.

　　Lord Kunpeng raised his hand and the stamp flew back to him. He scoffed coldly, “Empress, do you think I can’t sense you if you hide?”

　　Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

　　Along with the galloping of horses, three snow-white horses with wings flew over in the sky. They had one horn each on their heads. There was a golden carriage behind them as they moved forward. The carriage had a colorful glow. It was a majestic sight.

　　Inside the carriage, the Empress’s calm voice was heard. “Brother Kunpeng, you seem excited. What do you want to do?”

　　Lord Kunpeng said coldly, “It’s my matter with my demons, unless the Heavenly Temple wants to get involved?”

　　The Jade Emperor smiled and walked out from the horse carriage. He laughed and said, “Ha-ha-ha, Brother Kunpeng’s so funny. The Empress and I came out for a walk and we happened to be here. We’re just asking out of curiosity.”

　　Lord Kunpeng looked at the Jade Emperor and Empress. He narrowed his eyes.

　　They came out for a walk?

　　Did they think it was a pig they were lying to?!

　　Why would the Jade Emperor and Empress simply leave the Heavenly Temple?

　　Also, what were those behind them? They needed so many armed Heavenly Soldiers ‘for a walk’?

　　Lord Kunpeng quickly thought about it. The situation was clear—the Heavenly Temple was here to attack!

　　This should not be! He had hidden his tactic well. Only his own demons knew about it. How did they find out? Even the Jade Emperor and Empress had come! This was a major problem! So strange!

　　Furthermore, he merely planned to attack the Heavenly Temple. He was not ready to attack yet. Currently, Lord Kunpeng was merely trying to attack the Nine-Tailed Fox. And yet, the Heavenly Temple appeared all of a sudden?

　　What was the situation? Lord Kunpeng was lost.

　　Weird. Very weird!

　　Lord Kunpeng tried to sound less surprised. He said in a low voice, “I don’t know what’s going on, but this doesn’t affect my original plan. Since you’re here, we might as well sort it out!”

　　The Jade Emperor said coldly, “What? Brother Kunpeng wants to eat us as well?”

　　“Why not?” Suddenly a voice rang in the air, followed by a blood-red glow shooting out.

　　Styx Laozu gradually appeared before the crowd. Behind him was a violent army with cruel and violent Qi.

　　Styx Laozu laughed wildly. “Jade Emperor, I let you go the other time. This time, the Heavenly Temple will be destroyed, again!”

　　“Cut the nonsense! Wipe them all out!” With that said, the stamp in Lord Kunpeng’s hand already flew out. It was about to smack the Empress.

　　The Empress lifted her hand and the painting instantly wrapped around her body. Different projections became her shield as she cast a spell. The hairpin on her hair rushed out and stabbed Lord Kunpeng!

　　“Ha-ha-ha, my armor’s better than yours!” Lord Kunpeng smiled and a golden glow surrounded his body. A golden bell was formed.

　　Vroom!

　　The sound of a bell was heard. Although it was not loud, a powerful sound of Qi rushed to the ears of the people. Ripples were formed in the air as if the world had been shaken up.

　　The Empress’s hairpin landed on the golden bell but it simply bounced back, unable to penetrate it.

　　“Eastern Bell!” The Jade Emperor’s face sank. He felt a sense of challenge right away. “After the death of Eastern Emperor, this bell has been missing. You actually have it!?”

　　Lord Kunpeng smiled arrogantly. He said, “Eastern Bell, an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. The best armor! It can even take a blow from a Saint! I can just stand here and let you all hit me without getting harmed at all!”

　　Meanwhile, Styx Laozu’s weapons, Yuan Tu and Abi, turned into lights and attacked the Jade Emperor!

　　The Jade Emperor thought on his feet. A tower instantly appeared above his head with a sword drawn out to block both Yuan Tu and Abi.

　　“Eh?” Styx Laozu frowned. He was shocked.

　　The sword in the Jade Emperor’s hand had turned into Deluxe Merit Treasure. And somehow, he sensed that the Jade Emperor was way more powerful than the last time. The Empress, too, as if they had grasped the nature of the world better now.

　　They were not like this when they fought the other day.

　　He refocused and instantly looked serious again.

　　The fight between the four Quasi-Saints was so intense. Even a little Qi from them was able to make the surroundings vanish. If they kept on fighting, the Immortal Realm and even the Ordinary Realm might collapse!

　　Back then, the dragons, phoenixes, and kirins were fighting this way. That was why the Prehistoric world collapsed. Countless blocks were caused and ever since then, the three species went downhill.

　　Of course, the four of them did not dare to cause any extra harm. As they fought, each of them only damaged the air and fought off the ground. Although it seemed as if they were fighting right in front of each other, the truth was that they fought in a different dimension. Each punch was lost in that dimension. If not, this land would have been instantly destroyed.

　　As for the others, they were merely watching.

　　The treasures and spells kept bombarding that space. Different spells rushed up into the sky. It was a mess. The valley had instantly been turned into a wasteland. It was engulfed by the flaming sea and water. All plants had been wiped out.

　　Although the Jade Emperor and Empress were involved, Daji was not having the upper hand because they did not have a Daluo Golden Immortal on their side!

　　While the opponents had three Daluo Golden Immortals!

　　“Immortal Daji, don’t panic, we’re coming!”

　　Ao Cheng and Ao Yun came over for additional support. They had a bunch of sea soldiers behind them.

　　With that, at least they had more quantity on their side!

　　“Let me have this cow!” Lu Yue said as he shook his grey plague bell. Instantly, a strange sound was heard. The surrounding small demons fainted while the grey plague smoke rushed toward the Daluo Golden Immortal Cow like a mist!

　　Moo!

　　The cow scoffed as two shots of water rushed out its nose. It instantly swallowed the grey mist with a long treasure in hand. Then, it attacked Lu Yue!

　　Ye Liuyun, Ao Yun, Ao Cheng, and Lan joined forces to attack a large demon in its Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

　　Xiao Chengfeng, Daji, and the Fire Phoenix were facing the Pig Demon.

　　The Pig Demon seemed lazy but it was very powerful. It had a red flag flapping in the air. Suddenly, its body buffed up and it turned into a gigantic Pig Demon that was as tall as three meters!

　　Daji removed the Xuan Water Bracelet from her wrist. She lifted her hand and instantly, the Xuan Water rushed in like a tsunami, engulfing the Pig Demon. She then turned the water into ice. However, those were active ice!

　　Xuan Water was already chilly and corrosive. After it had turned into ice, the thick chill turned into mist. The mist was very corrosive. It sizzled as it floated in the air.

　　The chilly ice was like a white gigantic python, ready to attack Pig Demon!

　　Pig Demon raised its hand and the red flag behind it rose in the air and started flapping in the air. Instantly, a sea of flames erupted. The flames were very special, rippling as if they were alive!

　　As the flames touched upon the chilly ice, the chilly ice instantly melted into water. Following that, the Xuan Water was vaporized by the flame and completely vanished!

　　The flame was wild. It was launched at Daji.

　　Fire Phoenix narrowed her eyes. Her wings started flapping in the air. Her Phoenix Fire had turned into a giant flaming phoenix. It attacked the wild flames and yet, the Phoenix Fire showed signs of melting.

　　Xiao Chengfeng’s face sank. He could not help saying, “This flame is so strange!”

　　“Ha-ha-ha, this is my astonishing Flaming Flag. It has the effect of causing the opposites of everything. It’s undefeatable! Lord Kunpeng rewarded me with this so we can win this battle!”

　　The Pig Demon laughed and stretched out the flag. The flame became even more violent, turning into a flaming dragon and roaring at the crowd. “Merely three Taiyi Golden Immortals, you’re like ants in front of me!”

　　“My sword’s better than your flag!” Xiao Chengfeng drew his longsword and it turned into light. It shot right into the flame. The sword cut open a path and stopped right in front of the Pig Demon.

　　Pig Demon lifted its hands and waved the flag to block the longsword. Its eyes glinted. “Deluxe Merit Treasure? Still far from mine!”

　　It scoffed coldly and waved the flag wildly. Limitless flames danced in the air like a snake while a lot of flaming balls rushed toward Daji and the group. Countless meteorites fell from above, surrounding them.

　　The flame was too terrifying, it was as if it could engulf anything. An ordinary spell cast on the flame was like a paper being thrown into the flame, instantly burnt. Its temperature was higher than Fire Phoenix’s Fire. Very destructive!

　　Suddenly, the three of them felt worn out and hopeless.

　　On the other side, the four Quasi-Saints were fighting more and more intensely. The treasures let out a glow in all directions. Even though they held the fight in another dimension, the space had cracked open due to the overwhelming pressure. The aftermath of the explosions had crushed many meteorites.

　　However, all four of them had defensive armor on. They each also had an attacking treasure. It was too difficult to win against one another at this point, so all they could do was to wear out the opponents.

　　Lord Kunpeng glanced around and saw that his side was winning against Daji. However, he did not seem pleased.

　　Nothing was going to ruin his plan. If the news did not slip out, those from the Heavenly Temple would not be as well prepared. He then thought about how the Southern Sea Dragons and the Kirins pulled out. He was so furious and frustrated!

　　If the two groups were involved, they would have won the battle from the start! They would not have to fight in the air and would have attacked the Heavenly Temple by now! It would have been as easy as picking up a parcel!

　　And now it was so challenging!

　　“Stupid pig! Stupid pig!” Lord Kunpeng was getting more and more furious. It could not help growling out loud, “Pig teammates! I’ve got pig teammates!”

　　The Pig Demon who was still flapping the powerful flag jolted. It stopped abruptly and flew toward Lord Kunpeng. “My lord, you called for me?”

　　Lord Kunpeng was so dumbfounded, he almost stopped breathing. “Why did you come here? Are you giving the Nine-Tail Fox a chance to rest? Go back there to kill them all! Why do I have such a stupid pig by my side!”

　　“Right, right, I’m a pig!”
