Great Demon Sun Wukong

Gazing upon the Heavenly Stele that had suddenly appeared, whether it was the Cangming Ghost King or the Netherworld Qin King, whether it was the Demon Emperor Di Jun or the countless armies, all were dumbstruck as they looked at the stele. The pressure emanating from it rendered everyone unable to make any rash moves.

Then, as the crack gradually vanished, a colossal Heaven's Gate appeared beside the vanishing fissure in the void, towering a hundred meters tall. Nobody knew what material the gate was crafted from, but everyone found that just one additional glance seemed to threaten to draw their souls into it.

Feeling the eeriness of the gate, everyone dared not look any longer. At that moment, it was clear in the hearts of all present that both the World Suppressing Stele No. 3 and this Heaven's Gate signified the imminent arrival of one person—the Domain Lord of the Huangquan World—Tyrant Yue Huangquan!

Indeed, following the appearance of the Heaven's Gate, both the Ghost King and the Qin King suddenly rose into the air and, positioning themselves to the left and the right respectively, pushed open the massive gates with combined force. After the gates were opened, the pair knelt down in the void.

As the two knelt, all present, whether they were from the Demon Clan or the Crimson Army, began to kneel in large groups. Even those who were still climbing the city walls simply leaped down to kneel with both knees on the ground.

"We welcome the Domain Lord!"

"We welcome the Domain Lord!"

After everyone knelt, the Ghost King and the Qin King first shouted aloud, and then all joined in unison with a resounding cry! As the shouts dissipated, melodious fairy music emanated from within the Heaven's Gate, and with its rise, dozens of incredibly beautiful fairies flew out from the gate.

These fairies, some holding petals, some with Jade Dew, scattered their contents ceaselessly. As all the fairies flew out of the gate and positioned themselves to both sides, a handsome white-clothed, silver-haired, and silver-eyed youth walked out slowly with hands clasped behind his back!

As this beautiful youth stepped out of the Heaven's Gate, everyone was immediately roused with high spirits and shouted at the top of their lungs, "We welcome the Domain Lord, we welcome the Domain Lord!"

The Netherworld World's Domain Lord, the Tyrant, Yue Huangquan!

He was the god of all those present, the living god of supreme majesty!

As Yue Huangquan noticed everyone's shouts, he lightly pressed his hand downward. Instantly, the noise ceased, and no one made another sound.

Then Yue Huangquan first glanced at the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi within Battle Demon City, then at the three million of the Light Army at the foot of the mountain, now reduced to scorched earth, followed by a look at the kneeling Ghost King and Qin King on either side. Finally, he looked towards a distant place.

At last, he said, "Cangming Ghost King and Netherworld Qin King, heed my orders: cease the attack on the Demon Clan's Battle Demon City! Gather your remaining forces immediately. Among the twenty-two Outer Cities where the Light Army of Yao Guang resides, each of you will take ten. Demon Emperor Di Jun, heed my order: immediately send someone to take over the remaining two Outer Cities!

Let this be the end of the matter. Cangming Ghost King and Netherworld Qin King, remember, from this day forth, for a thousand years, not a hair of the Demon Clan shall be harmed."

After pausing, he continued, "All beings of the Netherworld World, heed my decree: from now on, whoever schemes against the Demon Clan, slay! Whoever tarnishes the prestige of the Demon Clan, slay! Any Demon Clan member bullying others with their power, slay! Those who fight over cities in secret, annihilate their city!

Demon Emperor Di Jun, Cangming Ghost King, Netherworld Qin King, concentrate on enhancing your strength, and prepare for the Six Kingdoms War fifty years from now!"

"Furthermore, everyone, abandon the pursuit of the World Suppressing Stele. If anyone meets a member of the Demon Clan named Sun Wukong, offer him your greatest support and assistance, and do not trouble him."

Having finished, Yue Huangquan waved towards the World Suppressing Stele No. 3. The originally stationary stele at the gate of Battle Demon City suddenly rose into the air, hovering above the city.

Then, Yue Huangquan snapped his fingers in the distance. Immediately, the World Suppressing Stele burst into bright orange radiance, spreading thousands of miles in an instant. All beings within this range felt their wounds healing at an incredibly fast rate, and those uninjured felt their strength slowly increasing!

"Everyone, sit cross-legged where you are, you will receive a quarter hour's cleansing by the World Suppressing Stele!"

Upon hearing Yue Huangquan's words, all were ecstatic, including the Qin King, Ghost King, and both Di Jun and Taiyi! A cleansing from the World Suppressing Stele could allow one to directly comprehend higher levels of the Cosmic Law. Moreover, it could purify the impurities within one's Soul Body.

The benefits were so significant that even the King of Qin, who had fused with seven Taoist Spells, could not ignore them. It is known that unless one has fused with the Nine Law, no matter how much one improves their strength, there will always be some impurities within the soul.

These impurities could be mental flaws, such as hatred and fear towards someone, obsession or regret about something, greed, or extravagant desires for certain objects.

Moreover, some people, when comprehending Cosmic Law, would experience some flaws in the Law due to certain reasons or absorb some detrimental yet indelible substances into their Soul Energy. Such instances were countless. Therefore, to receive the purification of the World Suppressing Stele was the greatest longing for all beings from Netherworld World.

Soon, the baptism came to an end. Everyone felt as if they had undergone a complete transformation. While they were still marveling at the wonders of the baptism, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky. The voice boomed like thunder, causing some of the weaker individuals to nearly faint. Everyone instantly looked up and saw a massive rift torn in the sky.

The cosmic storm-like forces emanating from this enormous rift caused everyone's hearts to tremble.

"Was that really necessary? Do you need my help?"

"Hmph, Yue Huangquan, spare me the sarcastic remarks. If it wasn't for the cosmic storm I just encountered, would I be in such a sorry state?"

While speaking, a huge figure about ten meters tall appeared. The figure wore coarse hemp garments and had a square face with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His somewhat long hair was casually tied behind his head. However, upon closer inspection, one could see his clothes were somewhat tattered, indicating he was a bit worse for wear.

"Why not take the proper gate instead of showing off by tearing through space? Whom do you have to blame for this?"

"I'd rather be blown away by a cosmic storm than to use your broken gate!"

"Who cares? What brings you here this time? For the World Suppressing Stele, right?"

"Indeed. A few days ago, I sensed the presence of my doppelganger left in the Pangu World, so I felt there might be an issue with the stele. Later, my older brother deduced that the stele ended up in your territory. If we weren't on good terms, I might have suspected you stole it."

"I am not interested in it; that stele is a hot potato I'd rather not handle. However, the stele is indeed with me, but it's in the hands of a youth from the Demon Clan. Moreover, he still carries your essence on him. Tsk tsk, surely he's not your illegitimate child, is he?"

"Nonsense, I don't even have a wife, let alone an illegitimate child. Hurry up and take me to that person before the folks from other Divine Kingdoms find out and cause trouble."

Yue Huangquan obviously understood the gravity of the situation and without saying more, turned around to fly off. However, at that moment, the huge figure suddenly stood in Yue Huangquan's way, then turned and called out to the people below: "Who has taken control of my doppelganger? Come out and let me have a look!"

After a brief silence, Di Jun, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, soared into the sky and then said, "Might I ask if the senior is referring to me?" Upon finishing his words, he waved his hand, shattering the Xuanyuan Sword, and the shards of the sword reformed into a similarly large figure about ten meters tall.

Then Di Jun realized that the phantom in the sword bore an exact resemblance to the man, aside from the huge Battle Axe on his back and even the clothes worn were identical!

Seeing the emergence of this phantom, the giant suddenly let out a mournful sigh, "I never expected you truly fell. Alas, fortunately, it must have been that kid, the Yellow Emperor who sealed it. He has some foresight after all; otherwise, I would have taught him a lesson. By the way, where is that little flower?"

Then Di Jun saw that the phantom's mouth was moving silently as if it were communicating with the man using a special method. But suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck across Di Jun's mind.

This phantom, this replica, was the soul manifestation of Pangu the Great God from the time when heaven and earth were created, sealed by the Yellow Emperor using Great Divine Power. Now this towering figure, identical to the phantom, wouldn't that mean this giant is Pangu himself? My own ancestral being, the one who created heaven and earth?

And by his words, was this phantom merely one of his doppelgangers? A doppelganger possessing such might? How powerful then is Pangu?

With these thoughts, Di Jun suddenly kneeled in the void with both knees and bowed deeply, saying: "The Demon Clan's Di Jun pays respects to Pangu the Great God!"
