Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 611: Launching Assaults

Everyone held their breath. The descent of the four immortal lightning bolts signified the establishment of the Demon Kingdom, with Zhu Tian as its first ruler.

This journey had not been in vain, for they had witnessed the founding of the Demon Kingdom with their own eyes.

Zhu Tian’s face was stern. He turned his gaze upon the Phoenix Tribe and addressed them in a deep voice. “Phoenix Tribe, the Demon Kingdom is established. Now is the time allies are needed. If you are willing to join now, this monarch promises you will be treated generously!

“If you are unwilling, due to the imminent arrival of the Great Era’s tribulation, for the sake of the demon race, I will have no choice but to employ certain methods!”

The visiting major factions were inwardly shocked. Is Supreme Zhu Tian planning to capitalize on this momentum, subduing the Phoenix Tribe and unifying the Demon Region in one go?

The Phoenix tribespeople felt a chill in their hearts. They had anticipated that Zhu Tian would move against them after establishing the Demon Kingdom, but they hadn’t expected the assault to come so swiftly.

The Phoenix Tribe’s old chieftain, Jiang Mingzi, rose to his feet and flicked his sleeve, snorting coldly. Wisps of flames drifted out from his body as he assumed a defensive stance. “Supreme Lord Zhu Tian, don’t think I’m unaware of your intentions—unify the Demon Region, unify the East Sea, and the Demon Kingdom will leap to become the greatest faction in the world. Your subsequent plan is to attack Great Xia and the Buddhist Kingdom!

“By then, aside from your Dijiang Tribe, any other race will be cannon fodder, dragged to the frontlines to battle, only to satisfy your ambitions!”

Zhu Tian released an oppressive aura combined from his own and that of the ten Transcendent Tribulation demon emperors. The oppressive aura pressed down like a towering mountain upon Jiang Mingzi, causing his bones to creak audibly.

His expression was icy, his gaze tinged with contempt as he watched Jiang Mingzi struggle desperately. “You, junior, have no manners! Never mind you, even Jiang Lianyi would have to address this monarch as ‘fellow Daoist’ if she saw me! Your knowledge is shallow, and you haven’t experienced the events of antiquity, so you’re unable to share my perspective. You know nothing of the true horrors of the Great Era’s tribulation! How are you qualified to speculate on my thoughts?!

“You pit me against the entire world based on nothing but unfounded drivel. You really don’t know how the character for ‘death’ is written!” Zhu Tian emitted a terrifying aura. His fury stemmed not from Jiang Mingzi’s wild speculation; on the contrary, it was because Jiang Mingzi’s conjecture was correct.

With the Demon Kingdom newly founded, its foundation was unstable. It was not yet able to face two formidable enemies like Great Xia and the Buddhist Kingdom simultaneously. He had to feign outrage and denounce Jiang Mingzi’s words as utter nonsense.

I didn’t expect the Phoenix Tribe to have clever individuals too. A pity their cleverness was used in the wrong place!

Jiang Mingzi subtly slipped a hand into the front of his robe. He still possessed several supreme treasures left by his ancient ancestor, capable of delivering a ruthless blow to Zhu Tian in a critical moment.

Two figures appeared, standing shoulder to shoulder beside Jiang Mingzi.

“That’s the Demon Region Dragon Tribe’s old ancestor!”

“And from the East Sea Dragon Tribe too!”

The Demon Region’s Dragon and Phoenix tribes shared glory and loss. If the Demon Kingdom subjugated the Phoenix Tribe, the Dragon Tribe would be next. They could not simply stand by and watch Zhu Tian treat the Phoenix Tribe this way.

The two Dragon tribes had sent Fusion cultivators to attend the ceremony on the surface, but two Transcendent Tribulation cultivators had secretly come.

Together, the Dragon and Phoenix tribes had three Transcendent Tribulation cultivators!

“Overestimating your capabilities.” Zhu Tian sneered. At my command, the ten Transcendent Tribulation great demons will fight it out with the three Dragon and Phoenix Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. Once these three are defeated, branding them with master-servant marks will be straightforward.

His battle strategy was like rolling a snowball—controlling every enemy he defeated and allowing his own influence to grow larger and larger. He dared to announce himself the “Number One Below Immortals” by borrowing the words of those in ancient times; this was the source of his confidence. With myself and ten Transcendent Tribulation cultivators, victory is guaranteed even if I face an ancient immortal!

However, Zhu Tian also dared not act rashly. Among these three individuals was a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator from the East Sea Dragon Tribe. If he truly attacked a member of their tribe, conquering the East Sea in the future would likely be fraught with difficulties.

Both parties sank into a stalemate for a moment.

Fortunately for Zhu Tian, he had long anticipated this scenario.

“Haha! The demons have established a nation and are on the verge of unification. How could such a momentous event occur without our Heavenly Court Creed?” Someone below the stage laughed heartily.

Those nearby quickly moved aside, leaving a circular space. In the center was Young Creed Leader Lu and a black-cloaked figure.

The two leaped into the air, landing upon the heavenly altar. Though they were only two people, they faintly formed a tripartite standoff.

“Who are you?!” Zhu Tian frowned, looking at these two figures in displeasure.

“It’s Young Creed Leader Lu of the Heavenly Court Creed!”

“It’s him! He came too!”

“Makes sense. Supreme Lord Zhu Tian is an ancient half-immortal. It would be strange if the Heavenly Court Creed didn’t show up.”

“It’s said that the Heavenly Court Creed’s origins lie in the ancient Heavenly Court Creed, presided over by Dou Heavenly Sovereign—a true immortal!”

“Is this a war between ancient factions?”

“Who’s the one in black robes? Also a Heavenly King protector?”

“It’s possible!”

The crowd below the stage grew excited. The appearance of the Heavenly Court Creed made the situation even more chaotic, and the audience wondered if a fight would break out.

Mu Baiyi and Vice Creed Leader Shi hid within the crowd, finally witnessing the Heavenly Court Creed’s entrance.

“The Heavenly Court Creed indeed came. Young Creed Leader Lu was already in the Demon Region when Supreme Lord Zhu Tian sent invitations to the various major factions. His appearance here in the Demon Region at such a critical juncture must be due to ulterior motives!”

“Exactly. But we simply don’t know who that black-cloaked figure is. If they’re merely a Heavenly King protector, they probably can’t handle this situation. To stand as Zhu Tian’s equal, could it be that the creed leader of the Heavenly Court Creed has come?”

The two discussed in whispers. Although the Dijiang Tribe hadn’t invited them, it didn’t prevent them from coming to watch the spectacle.

In the plan that Young Creed Leader Lu had given the Nine-Netherworlds Creed, one item was “External Connections with the Demon Region.” Initially, we were puzzled. With so many demon races, who were we supposed to connect with?

Now the answer is revealed. With Zhu Tian unifying the Demon Region, we need to connect with the Demon Kingdom!

“Could this also have been within Young Creed Leader Lu’s predictions...or if we push it further, could the Demon Kingdom’s establishment by Zhu Tian also be the work of the Heavenly Court Creed?”

The two exchanged a glance, noticing the fear in each other’s eyes. This is merely the young creed leader, yet he already possesses such terrifying shrewdness. What kind of figure must the sect leader be?!

Terrifying.

The corners of Zhu Tian’s mouth lifted in a cold smirk. “Heavenly Court? A meaningless thing!” The Heavenly Court was something fabricated by the Four Ancient Immortals. How could it possibly be real?

Keen observers detected the hostility in Zhu Tian’s tone. He doesn’t seem to...acknowledge the Heavenly Court Creed?

Just as Lu Yang was about to improvise a few more lines, a voice dripping with disdain rang out. It came from the Dijiang Tribe’s section of the main seating area.

“How is it that any stray and dog can simply enter the heavenly altar as and when they please?” The voice’s owner pushed off with both feet, flying onto the heavenly altar. His chin was slightly raised as he looked down on Lu Yang derisively.

“So you’re that legendary Young Creed Leader Lu, who fought to a draw with the Dao-Seeking Sect’s Lu Yang. The seemingly impressive Young Creed Leader Lu is actually hardly remarkable in person!”

“In my view, whether it’s you or Lu Yang, you’re both overhyped geniuses, nothing more than monkeys proclaiming themselves kings during the tiger’s absence in the mountain.

“You are...?”

“Zhu Yunwu!”

Zhu Yunwu, the personal disciple of Supreme Lord Zhu Tian and the Dijiang Tribe’s peerless prodigy!
