Chapter 570: Chapter 569: Innate Sacred Weapon River Map and Luo Book, World-Shaking! [Second Update]

It seemed to have hit a sore spot, and it became somewhat annoyed and said, "I have no idea what you’re talking about!"

After speaking, it turned to Venerable Emperor Chong’en and Mencius, saying, "You two, do not delay. Let’s join forces to resolve them, and then we can decide on the matter of positions, avoiding further accidents!"

It flew forward, stood upon the Donghuang Bell, and the Extreme Sacred Weapon hummed, with its divine sound shaking the heavens and earth.

After a slight hesitation, Venerable Emperor Chong’en commanded the gods, pointing their spears at the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race.

Only Mencius made no move, seemingly still hesitating over something.

"Confucian Sub-Saint, what are you waiting for? Do you plan to sit back and reap the spoils like a fisherman?" the Demon Ancestor couldn’t help but urge, his tone rather indignant.

Mencius, however, said loudly, "In my early years, I once said: ’Life, I desire it; righteousness, I also desire it; if the two cannot be obtained together, I will give up life and choose righteousness.’ "

"You are nothing but a traitorous knave; forgive me for finding it difficult to associate with you."

Mencius’ long robe fluttered, and though he was just a book-holding scholar, he stood tall and steadfast, surrounded by an enduring Vast Righteous Qi.

This candid demeanor made many sigh in admiration.

"Worthy of being the Confucian Sub-Saint, despite the allure of profit, he refuses to bow. No wonder he can read the great principles of heaven and earth in books..."

Of course, there were also some Quasi-Saints who sneered.

"How pretentious! At this point, who isn’t using every means possible for a Saint position?"

"Feigning virtue, clearly wanting to sit back and enjoy the fruits!"

Spectators from all sides had mixed reactions to Mencius’ words.

But for the Ten Great Saints, they each revealed a smile.

Bai Ze said, "I’ve heard that in later generations, someone used the truths in books to enlighten all beings and became a Saint. I originally thought this to be absurd, yet today, you have opened my eyes." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

As the leader of the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race, Bai Ze possessed formidable strength and naturally sensed the profound and terrifying nature of the Vast Righteous Qi surrounding Mencius.

Although it did not understand the methods of Confucian School cultivation, just from Mencius’ aura and words, it already looked at Mencius with newfound respect.

After a slight pause, Bai Ze said, "As for the Mortal World Saint positions, you may compete for them as you please. We have no interest in the matter; we have emerged this time only to exterminate the Primordial Demon. If you will not ally with it, then we shall naturally not infringe upon each other."

"Of course, if you insist on intervening in the affairs of our Demon Race, we don’t mind a fight either."

Bai Ze’s words were naturally directed at what Venerable Emperor Chong’en said.

Its towering form stood upon clouds, imposing and majestic, its aura unfettered by ancient Qilin.

"Oh?"

Venerable Emperor Chong’en, upon hearing this, squinted slightly. After glancing at the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race, he smiled, "Since it is an internal matter of the Demon Race, I, as an outsider, how can I interfere?"

"Gentlemen, please proceed as you wish!"

Venerable Emperor Chong’en had already discerned that these Ten Great Saints had turned to Netherworld Techniques.

Indeed, if they wish to try for the Mortal World positions, it’s not impossible.

After all, that was the path the Demon Ancestor took.

But Venerable Emperor Chong’en was well aware that the Demon Ancestor had no other choice and had to take the gamble of touching the Mortal World position.

Yet for these Ten Great Saints, there was no necessity to take such a risky move.

After all, the Supreme Yang Qi conflicts with the Netherworld Techniques. To forcibly ascend to the Celestial Dao Gate, they must suppress their own Laws.

The consequence of doing so means facing the Saint Tribulation, where the Tribulation Crosser would almost solely rely on their physique to withstand it!

The horror of the Saint Tribulation needs no elaboration.

There are very few Quasi-Saints in the world confident enough to rely solely on their physique to endure it!

Understanding this, he decisively retreated to the back.

Leaving only the Demon Ancestor, whose expression was as unsightly as if they had swallowed a dead rat.

"Venerable Emperor Chong’en, the Demon Race is cunning and changeable, how could you easily trust Bai Ze’s words?"

The Demon Ancestor’s near-reckless words not only heightened the killing intent of the Ten Great Saints but also made the other Quasi-Saints laugh out loud.

"Marvelous, truly marvelous."

"Imagine, the Master of the Demon Race Celestial Court insulting their own kind as cunning and changeable?"

"It can really say whatever it wants, haha..."

The Demon Ancestor’s deeds in the Southern Domain had already infuriated various Quasi-Saints. During the time of the Demon Realm, this fellow even attempted to use the Donghuang Bell to refine other Quasi-Saints.

Although it ultimately did not act upon this, it still managed to offend all major powers.

Therefore, at this moment, the watching Quasi-Saints felt no sympathy for the Demon Ancestor’s predicament; instead, they were filled with schadenfreude.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en chuckled lightly, "If that’s the case, I definitely cannot associate with you, Demon Ancestor."

"After all, the Demon Race is cunning and unpredictable. Who knows if you, Demon Ancestor, might trick me?"

"I..." The Demon Ancestor’s face turned red and was about to explain, but Venerable Emperor Chong’en already retreated to the distance with an indifferent expression, saying, "With cultivation that reaches the heavens, Demon Ancestor, you surely don’t need help from outsiders for your troubles."

"You handle it yourselves."

With these words, Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s stance had become thoroughly clear.

The Demon Ancestor’s chest heaved, suppressing its anger with difficulty, and no longer expecting help from others, turned its icy gaze towards the Ten Great Saints.

"Without assistance, I am still unafraid of you!"

"With the Donghuang Bell here, what can you do to me?"

The Dragon Robe on the Demon Ancestor danced in the wind, standing atop the Donghuang Bell with an impossibly towering posture.

Like a Monarch of Heaven and Earth, overbearing across the world!

But in the next moment, a cold snort sounded from below the Sea Eye of the North Sea.

Then, under the eyes of all, an Ancient Scroll burst forth with thousands of rays of light, rising without wind from the Sea Eye.

And at the sight of that Ancient Scroll, the Demon Ancestor’s haughty and ferocious expression was instantly replaced with pallid terror.

Its eyes filled with disbelief, and its entire body trembled slightly.

The Donghuang Bell also emitted a series of quivering sounds under its tremor.

"What is that?"

"Why does it feel so familiar?"

At the time, all the Quasi-Saints narrowed their eyes.

All eyes were fixed intently on the Ancient Scroll rising from the Sea Eye.

Amidst the myriad rays of light, the Ancient Scroll gradually unfolded, revealing the contents within.

There, the Two Modes alternated, Four Symbols evolved, and the Five Elements were newly born.

Mountains rose from the ground, transforming in the blink of an eye into a Thunder Pool.

Rivers flowed endlessly, instantly becoming glaciers.

The contents constantly changed, seemingly demonstrating the transformation of heaven and earth.

Moreover, the overwhelming pressure of the Extreme Sacred Weapon surged forth at this moment, sweeping the entire North Sea in a vast sweep.

Not only did it shake the North Sea, but the strongest entities across the Great Thousand Domains also sensed its aura.

From Great Qin to Western Heaven, to the Netherworld, even the unmanifested Quasi-Saints couldn’t help but cast their gaze in the direction of the North Sea.

At this time, at the borders of the North Sea, all the Quasi-Saints there already had their eyes wide open.

Voices filled with wonder and doubt arose, and the ancient presences simultaneously spoke a single name.

"It’s actually the Top Grade Innate Sacred Weapon, River Map and Luo Book?!"

"Is that the legendary River Map and Luo Book?" Mencius also showed a look of shock.
