Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 309: Chapter 149 The Trend of Heaven and Earth, Three Great Demon Kings_2

Ji Zhaoyang looked at the Mu King seated on the throne, slightly bowing his hand in salute. Just as he was about to speak, the Mu King spoke first:

“Your Highness the Third Prince, I have heard recently that the Mu Kingdom is not quite at peace.”

Ji Zhaoyang was somewhat surprised. The Mu King had always avoided discussing state affairs, yet today he took the initiative to bring it up.

“Indeed, there have been small countries within the Mu Kingdom that have allied with demons to launch rebellions. However, these matters are just minor issues, today I came to the palace to discuss a major matter with the Mu King…”

Before Ji Zhaoyang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Mu King.

“Is the loss of thousands of soldiers and five cities in my Mu Kingdom simply a trivial matter in the eyes of the Third Prince?”

There was a hint of accusation in the Mu King’s words.

Ji Zhaoyang raised his eyes: “What does the Mu King mean by this?”

The Mu King cleared his throat lightly, and from the side door next to the main hall, a pale-faced beardless servant came out holding a royal decree. His shrill voice echoed loudly:

“His Highness the Third Prince, due to his rashness, has caused our Mu Kingdom to lose five cities, nearly ruining a great situation. From today onwards, all memorials to the throne will no longer enter the Great Yin palace. All officials will gather in the imperial palace hall for morning court sessions.”

After reading the royal decree, a well-coordinated sound of armour clashing could be heard. Eight hundred soldiers in armour gathered outside the royal palace hall.

These soldiers all possessed the Qi Transformation Realm cultivation. Their auras connected into an army formation, supplemented by Human Dao Fate, they could confront a Great Cultivator of Transforming God.

Outside the main hall, several Yin-Yang Masters dressed in hunting clothes stepped into this place, all possessing well-established Qi Refinement Realm cultivation.

The inner servant looked down at Ji Zhaoyang with a lofty attitude, his smile was cold: “We ask His Highness the Third Prince to surrender the army talisman and seal.”

Ji Zhaoyang fell silent. He didn’t respond to the inner servant, didn’t even pay attention to these armoured soldiers or the Yin-Yang Masters.

He just looked at the figure on the throne and said softly:

“Is this the decision of the Mu King?”

“How dare you! How dare you openly question the Mu King?”

The servant yelled angrily. But in the next moment, those authoritative eyes turned to him.

It seemed as if the radiance of the Great Sun had descended in those eyes, burning his mortal body and Spirit Soul to ashes in an instant.

He, who was the Great Steward of the Mu Kingdom, didn’t even get a chance to use his mana, and was turned into ashes in an instant.

Ji Zhaoyang walked toward the beaded curtain. Behind him, the eight hundred armoured soldiers prepared their formation, and several Yin-Yang Masters summoned their shikigami.

As Ji Zhaoyang stepped forward, a surge of mana spread out from him. The mana of the Spirit Refining power easily shattered all defensive measures, dissolving and vanishing the physical bodies within the mana.

Ten years had allowed him to further advance his cultivation to the Late Stage of Spirit Refining. He could slay everyone present with a single thought.

The so-called army formation and Yin-Yang Techniques were nothing in his eyes- he himself was the strongest in the Mu Kingdom.

With everyone silenced, Ji Zhaoyang walked to the back of the beaded curtain. He lifted the hanging beads.

However, when he saw the figure behind the curtain, he could not help but be surprised.

The Mu King, seated on the throne in an ochre robe, had a monstrous face with a red and long nose instead of a human one, a pair of black wings that were hanging behind him, and a fan in his hand, looking down at Ji Zhaoyang.

On the Mu King’s body, Ji Zhaoyang could clearly perceive a large amount of Human Dao Fate mixed with demonic qi. It made him a strange creature that was a fusion of human, demon, and king.

“You’ve given up your human status and chosen to ally with that monster?”

Ji Zhaoyang asked with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

“Given up my human status? No, no, no, I’ve merely found my true self!”

The Mu King’s words were filled with shocking madness, his red face adorned with a brilliant smile.

Anger flashed in Ji Zhaoyang’s eyes, and the massive Sun God Dharma Image emerged behind him, overbearing everything around. It felt like the whole imperial palace hall was about to turn into a ball of fire under the will of the Yang God:

“You are the ruler of the Mu Kingdom!

You, who hold the Human Dao Fate, the king! To think, you’ve abandoned your human body and become a demon. You are the first incurable fool!”

“The ruler of the Mu Kingdom? You still acknowledge me as the ruler of the Mu Kingdom?”

The Mu King’s face bore a mad smile, his aura that was a combination of Human Dao Fate and Demonic qi hardly inferior to that of Ji Zhaoyang’s.

“You, the Third Prince of the Great Yin, host all the military forces in our Kingdom! All the officials and nobles are lead by you, and the common people spread tales of how the Third Prince has made a figurehead out of the Mu King.”

“I bear the name of the King of the Mu Kingdom, but I hold no real power. What is the meaning of such a kingship?”

Ji Zhaoyang’s face trembled with anger: “I’ve told you years ago, once I repel those demons and restore peace to the world, I will return to the Great Yin.”

“Return to the Great Yin? Your words sound good, but who can abandon the immense power brought about by a single decree from the ruler of the world?”

The Mu King simply did not believe Ji Zhaoyang’s words.

He grew up among a hundred kingdoms, the world he knew was just these hundred kingdoms.

The power of ruling a single kingdom was enough to draw countless people like bees to honey, let alone establishing a previously unheard of powerful nation after uniting a hundred kingdoms. This was an unprecedented feat in the history of this world.

He didn’t believe Ji Zhaoyang would willingly give up such supreme power.

However, the Mu King didn’t notice that resentment in Ji Zhaoyang’s eyes towards him had transformed into pity for a frog at the bottom of the well.

The next moment, the immense power of the God Refinement Peak Stage obliterated everything in the royal palace in an instant.

The roar of the Mu King echoed throughout the entire capital.

“From today onwards, the Mu Kingdom will no longer be a vassal of the Great Yin.”

“The Great Yin may be the Mortal Emperor, but I am the Heavenly Emperor! The Demon King!”

“My name is, Great Celestial Hound!”

In an instant, the gaze of the Dusk Eyes fell upon the land, and the Great Celestial Hound, having gathered the Fate of the Human Dao and the Demonic Evil Qi, stepped across the threshold of the God Refinement Peak Stage and entered the Void Refining Stage.

Meanwhile, at the ancestral hall of the Divine Path Religious Sect.

As the origin of the Yin-Yang Masters, the ancestral hall of the Divine Path Religious Sect worshipped the two Heavenly Masters who created the cultivation method of the Yin-Yang masters.

All the Yin-Yang Masters and followers within the Divine Path Religious Sect worshiped the Heavenly Masters and spread the faith of incense and fire.

However, from some point onwards, the Yin-Yang Masters discovered that they could placate demons as deities, thereby eliminating the Demonic Evil Qi and refining them into shikigami.

Initially, the orthodox Yin-Yang Masters rejected this practice as a desecration of the Heavenly Master.

Yet, as some Yin-Yang Masters achieved dramatic increases in their shikigami power by venerating demons, more and more Yin-Yang Masters started to venerate demons as well.

They built shrines for demons, invited them into the shrine to burn incense and to transform the demonic Evil Qi into deities.

To dispel the fear of the people, the Yin-Yang Masters claimed that there were eight million deities in the world and everything could become a deity.

While the two Heavenly Masters were in seclusion, digesting the power of the faith of incense and fire, these demon deities were shamelessly placed in the main hall of the ancestral hall.

The demon worshipped by the most Yin-Yang Masters was a nine-tailed white fox. This white fox possessed strength comparable to a Heavenly Master, and even the Heavenly Masters found it difficult to subdue.

Therefore, the Yin-Yang Masters considered inviting the white fox into the shrine to worship it as a deity, hoping to find an opportunity to refine the white fox into a shikigami.

The capital of the Mu Kingdom collapsed, and the Great Celestial Hound declared himself as the Heavenly Emperor.

On this day, the eight million deities in the ancestral hall of the Divine Path Religious Sect flew out and occupied the ancestral hall.

A beautiful woman with nine fox tails appearing from her back appeared at the secluded place of the Heavenly Masters, absorbing the power of the eight million deities and the earthly power to suppress the two Heavenly Masters.

After that, a seductive voice echoed throughout the Divine Path Religious Sect.

“My name is, Yu Zaoqian!”

Within the isolated Dajiang Mountain.

Dong Youzi established the Dajiang Mountain and used his strength to suppress the demons in this realm, thus establishing the Order of Demons and Monsters.

And the order of demons and monsters has only one rule, which is to respect the strong!

As long as there was sufficient power, Dong Youzi could be venerated as the Ghost King, commanding the Dajiang Mountain and making all the demons in the world dare not do evil.

But as the saying goes, what gains by power loses by power.

A decade later, Dong Youzi eventually met his challenger, a young monster with sharp horns on his head and a sake gourd on his back.

Born from the suppressed demonic qi, he rode on the major force from the Dusk Eyes, reaching the God Refinement Peak Stage in just over a decade.

In the battle, he was blessed by heaven and earth and successfully broke through the Void Refining Stage, defeating Dong Youzi and becoming the new Ghost King of Dajiang Mountain.

“My name, Shuten-doji!”

On this day, the Dusk Eyes, once faded, regained their glow in the sky, and a hundred ghosts appeared between heaven and earth.

On this day, Shen Yuan was still under the tree, diligently cultivating the fields.
