Chapter 332: Chapter 322: Alone, Suppressing the Holy Land, A Multitude of Saints Fall Silent

In the Dragon God Sacred Land’s Saint Lord Hall, Hong Yuan gazed gloomily at the Sky-connecting Tower Tao Species and the various colored Jade Simples on the green wooden table.

To command all paths with one, creating a forbidden weapon of slaughter... what was he thinking...

This obviously involves the age-old problem of ’Tao Mark Contradiction.’ Throughout ancient times and even in later eras, no Great Emperor—

No, not necessarily. There must have been an exceptionally brilliant Great Emperor who began to address this problem.

Hong Yuan thought of the Great Dream Emperor.

The prophecy stated that the Great Dream Emperor would become the strongest Great Emperor of all time, the Supreme Grandmaster of all schools, unmatched by anyone.

Clearly, the Great Dream Emperor was the one who resolved the issue of "Tao Mark Contradiction."

The Great Dream Emperor is a Human Clan Emperor. This means the Heavenly Palace forces of the Human Race definitely possess research materials on solving the ’Tao Mark Contradiction’ problem.

If this is the case with the Human Race, then the Demon Court of the Demon Clan would certainly not have neglected research on this monumental problem.

The deeper he thought, the brighter Hong Yuan’s eyes became.

Although at this moment he was not strong enough to assert his power in the Human Race’s domain, wasn’t he free to come and go as he pleased within the many territories of the Demon Clan?

Moreover, that group of individuals had helped Tianli, forcing him into hiding and to take refuge in the Great Moon Virtual Mirror for over two thousand years—that huge debt had not yet been settled.

Even if it were in a dream, if this grievance was not addressed, Hong Yuan couldn’t convince himself.

In his view, the Human Race and Demon Clan were all the same; after all, his essence was that of an Extraterrestrial Demon.

If they did not obstruct his pursuit of the Path of Immortality, Hong Yuan wouldn’t care if they fought to the death.

If they obstructed his progress, then he would have to take matters into his own hands.

I’ll bring Han Kui with me. It’ll prevent her from doing something foolish in secret again. The eighth act of the dream must not fail, Hong Yuan thought to himself.

With the Myriad Silence Realm fully active, the entire Dragon God Sacred Land was under his observation.

With a sweep of his consciousness, Hong Yuan immediately realized what Han Kui was up to.

When he saw Han Kui scribbling in a pink notebook and a black notebook, and became aware of their contents—

Hong Yuan fell into a rare silence.

「Meanwhile.」

A severe argument erupted among the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land.

"Saint Lord, the territory of the Dragon God Sacred Land, founded by Han Jiuming, is expanding greatly, seriously harming our interests."

"Not only is our Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land’s territory being encroached upon, but even the other two Holy Lands are discontent with the Dragon God Sacred Land. Those Dragon Transformation Cultivators and the aquatic cultivators are far too arrogant."

"I’ve heard that the Demon Court also has objections to Han Jiuming. Why don’t we join forces with the other two Holy Lands to put pressure on him?"

"Exactly! With so many demons, their numbers give them strength. Surely he wouldn’t dare to massacre us all, right?"

"..."

Led by Blue Tiger Demon Saint and Fiery Turtle Demon Saint, the other Saints voiced their dissatisfaction, exerting pressure on Sky Fox Great Saint, who was the Ten Thousand Demon Saint Lord.

They were former subordinates of Tianli, having once expended great effort to help him hunt down Hong Yuan, wishing for nothing more than Hong Yuan’s death.

Now that Hong Yuan had risen to power, replacing Tianli’s supreme status within the Demon Clan, they naturally feared that Hong Yuan would settle accounts with them.

Sitting on the Saint Lord’s Chair, Sky Fox Great Saint carried herself with immense grace, as proud as the world’s most noble empress.

She gently caressed the soft sword in her hand, seemingly contemplating the suggestion made by Blue Tiger Demon Saint and the others.

Heh, even though Han Jiuming is honored by the great demons as the Great Moon Star Lord, his temperament isn’t as serene and tranquil as the Great Moon Star. He’s a night butcher who slays demons without blinking, Sky Fox Great Saint sneered internally. Want me to be the vanguard and bear the brunt of Han Jiuming’s wrath? Dream on.

Remembering how Hong Yuan had gone on a killing spree in the Kunyu Tribe, Sky Fox Great Saint shivered involuntarily.

She cleared her mind of extraneous thoughts and spoke softly, "Han Jiuming merely reached his peak in the Kunyu Tribe. Now he’s a spent force, experiencing a final, fleeting resurgence. Do not provoke him!"

Sky Fox Great Saint concluded with a sharp warning.

Startled by this, the agitated Blue Tiger Demon Saint and Fiery Turtle Demon Saint, among the others who had been clamoring, were momentarily struck speechless.

After all, a one-rank disparity between Saints meant a difference as vast as heaven and earth.

And a Great Saint—that was a title only an eighth-rank Saint who had survived three tribulations could claim.

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

The verdant land of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land suddenly shook, and even the azure skies trembled as if overburdened.

Cries of alarm rose throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land. The Demon Saints in the Saint Lord Hall quickly tried to determine the cause of the commotion.

When they realized that Hong Yuan had caused such a huge disturbance, they were all greatly alarmed.

"Han Jiuming?"

"Damn it, what is he doing here..."

"Everyone, don’t panic! With the Saint Lord here, Han Jiuming wouldn’t dare to be too outrageous!"

Many Demon Saints swiftly communicated via voice transmission, all tacitly bowing their heads, waiting for Sky Fox Great Saint to take the lead.

Sky Fox Great Saint: "..."

What is this indescribable, frustrating feeling? she wondered. Could it be that her status as Saint Lord truly carries no weight?

Taking a deep breath, Sky Fox Great Saint decided not to quibble with these cunning subordinates any longer.

If she continued to do so, she didn’t know if "Han Jiuming" would die young, but she felt that she would definitely complete her demonic life path before "Han Jiuming" did.

She flew out of the main hall, bowed to Hong Yuan, and said clearly, "May I ask what brings the Dragon God Saint Lord here?"

In the sky above, Hong Yuan stood indifferently, with Han Kui by his side. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Although Hong Yuan displayed not even a fraction of his power, and his aura showed no phenomena like True Dragons or Immortal Phoenixes, his mere presence nearly suffocated Sky Fox Great Saint.

What kind of imposing aura was that?

It was an aura capable of shattering mountains and rivers, of suppressing heaven and earth.

Too terrifying!

"I, Han, would like to borrow a few things. Also, why don’t I see Blue Tiger and Fiery Turtle? Do they think so little of this Han?" Hong Yuan asked with a smile.

However, his gaze was fixed intently on the Saint Lord Hall of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, his eyes icy.

Inside the Saint Lord Hall, Blue Tiger Demon Saint and Fiery Turtle Demon Saint exchanged a look, both seeing the terror in the other’s eyes.

With the Saint Lord here, Han Jiuming wouldn’t be so brazen, right?

Let’s go. Whether it’s fortune or disaster, it’s unavoidable. Han Jiuming is a Saint Lord, after all; he shouldn’t be so petty...

Sigh—

The two quickly exchanged messages via voice transmission, ultimately sighing helplessly before flying out of the main hall together, showing respect towards Hong Yuan.

Inside the hall, the other Demon Saints pondered for a moment and then also followed them out.

"We pay our respects to the Dragon God Saint Lord!"

The numerous Demon Saints bowed their heads low to Hong Yuan.

This scene was utterly astonishing, primarily because they were all members of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, yet they were bowing to the leader of a power they had previously disdained.

The Disciples and Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land were astonished, staring blankly at Sky Fox Great Saint, hoping she would intervene.

Sky Fox Great Saint’s expression, however, remained unchanged; she continued to offer Hong Yuan a radiant smile.

Damn it, that sly vixen really can’t handle important matters, the great demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land thought.

The previous Saint Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land was Tianli, the Heavenly Horned Ant, who had brought supreme glory to its demons.

With Tianli’s brilliant example before them, their disappointment in Sky Fox Great Saint’s performance was extreme.

Jiuming is so amazing! Han Kui’s eyes rippled with emotion, completely filled with Hong Yuan’s image.

「Two hours later.」

With the respectful farewell of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, Hong Yuan, satisfied, left with Han Kui.

As for Blue Tiger Demon Saint and Fiery Turtle Demon Saint, after settling their affairs with their families or disciples, they both committed suicide, transforming into a rain of light that scattered and vanished from the world.

They were dead.

As he journeyed towards the other two Holy Lands, Hong Yuan sensed this and snorted inwardly: At least they knew their place.

Blue Tiger Demon Saint was a Soul Tao Demon Saint, and Fiery Turtle Demon Saint was a Wisdom Tao Demon Saint.

If he had not coveted their legacies, Hong Yuan would have dealt with them harshly long ago and would not have given them a chance to settle their affairs.

However, this incident only deepened Hong Yuan’s confusion: This Cold Moon Dragon dream realm... it’s truly too realistic!

Is the Dream Tao school, favored by heaven and earth, truly this formidable?

Could this be the secret behind the Great Dream Emperor becoming the most powerful Great Emperor of all time...?

Various perplexing thoughts lingered in Hong Yuan’s mind.

It could only be said that while there were advantages to experiencing the Dream Tao ahead of time, there were also drawbacks.

Ultimately, however, the pros outweighed the cons. After all, who else but him was the pioneer of the Dream Tao? In the real world, the Dream Tao had yet to even become an established school!
