Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth!
When they heard this cry from Taoist Chun Feng, the expressions of all the Lords of Heaven altered swiftly.
In the beginning, there were no demons in the world. Those so-called demons were given that name in order to differentiate the alien races, by human beings who had gained the upper hand during primitive times.
Due to the rise of the Human Tribe, the name “demon” was gradually accepted by the public. At last, a demon race came into being, and during antiquity times, numerous Demon Tribe experts and Demonic Emperors appeared on the scene.
Frankly, the conceptual scope of the phrase “Demon Tribe” was much wider than that of “Human Tribe”. Technically, the Human Tribe was just a small tribe back then, which later gradually rose to domination and differentiated themselves from the Demon Tribe.
It could be said that in the beginning, the entire primitive world belonged to the Fierce Beasts and the Demon Tribe. However, somewhere in the middle of these primitive times, an originally inconspicuous race among the Demon Tribe in the Central Plains started to flourish. As if being favored by God, this race successfully flourished at an incredibly high rate, gained their independence from the huge Demon Tribe, and named themselves the Human Tribe. By the end of these primitive times, this Human Tribe even managed to repress the Demon Tribe on their own without any help. They became the largest tribe at that time as well as a leader of hegemony in antiquity times. This supremacy lasted till the end of antiquity times when the Heaven Realm Macro World disappeared from the Central Star Area.
On account of the disappearance of the Heaven Realm Macro World, since antiquity times, the Heaven Realm Macro World had no knowledge about other macro worlds. However, the embarrassing part was that the current Heaven Realm Macro World almost became a world dominated by the Demon Tribe, except for the palm-sized Seven-deity Regions where the Human Tribe was still ruling. Furthermore, if it was not for the powerful inhibition imposed on the whole Seven-deity Regions, perhaps today, the Human Tribe in the Seven-deity Regions would also have been reduced to becoming slaves of the Demon Tribe.
This was the reason why the highest level of the Seven-deity Regions harbored an intense fear of the Demon Tribe, but they also understood them pretty well.
The Demon Tribe comprised of countless races, and the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth was one of them.
Among the Demon Tribe, the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth was not the strongest but they were the most troublesome, for the size of its members was too enormous.
Let’s think about the meaning of “Heaven and Earth”.
This so-called “Heaven and Earth” referred to the whole world. The Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth was a huge demon that could engulf the world and swallow it wholly.
This tribe actually had another name in primitive times— the Rare Python Tribe.
This was a race derived from the Serpent Tribe. The greatest features of this tribe were the gigantic bodies of their members. Their favorite pastime was to stretch out and wrap up the world they were in, just like what Wang She was doing now on the vast planet below.
This kind of activity was, of course, unwelcomed by others. No matter if it was a macro world, a micro world or a vast planet, there were still other creatures living in them. Once the huge demon coiled it up and defecated on it, how could others keep living in it? It was really disgusting!
For this reason, the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth was disliked by all among the Demon Tribe, too.
Unfortunately, not only did the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth have colossal sizes and nasty habits, but they were also extremely strong.
If they did not have that sort of strength, they could not have grown to that size in the first place!
Thus, the sizes of their bodies were proportional to their strength level. A Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth that could wrap an entire macro world would possibly possess a strength as powerful as a Celestial Immortal, while the one that was able to wrap a micro-world would have a strength at the level of an Earthly Immortal. As for the one like Wang She, who was able to wind around a vast planet at one go, his strength would be about the same level as that of a Divine Immortal.
This was utterly beyond their expectations.
“How could that be?”
“Isn’t Wang She one of the Human Tribe? How come he has turned into a huge demon?”
“And what he transformed into was a Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth with strength on par with a Divine Immortal!”
Yu Taixuan’s face darkened, and rivulets of cold sweat dripped from him. This situation was completely unexpected. They had believed that with the combined strength of so many Lords of Heaven, it would be more than enough for them to exterminate both Wang She and Zhou Bao, who were still weak after undergoing the Void Thunder Tribulation, for good. But now, in the blink of an eye, they had become the prey of their designated victims. How did that happen? Catching the viciousness flitting in the ice-cold pupils of the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth, Yu Taixuan snarled out his orders without any further delay.
“Hurry, let’s get out of here, hurry up!”
At this point, be it the legendary Thunder Emperor’s fairy weapon, or the wish to kill Bill, oh sorry, to kill Zhou Bao, or to kill Wang She, all these became the lowest priority in their minds. The only thing that mattered right now was to run for their lives.
“Trying to run away now? Don’t even think about it!”
A stream of mighty willpower was released from the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth. Its coiled body suddenly straightened up and it looked exactly like a python out hunting for its prey. Abruptly, it swooped forward, opened its giant mouth and swallowed the golden warship in one gulp. In the process of swallowing, the demon paused for a second as if something had lodged inside its throat, but thereafter, the warship slipped down its maw and disappeared. Divine Wind Palace had gone to a lot of trouble to invite all the Lords of Heaven from Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and Youxian Temple, but now, they had all been swallowed by Wang She. Even Zhou Bao would find this kind of thing unbelievable, let alone Divine Wind Palace.
“How could that be? It’s impossible!”
“Is this the same Wang She we know? He has merely undergone seven Void Thunder Tribulations, how come his strength has grown to such an extent?”
“Whoosh!”
The giant python Wang She had transformed into seemed to have had quite a meal. It let out a huge burp, and then its body started shrinking rapidly. In the end, it disappeared out of sight. Zhou Bao was the only one who had a clear view across the atmosphere and clouds which enveloped the vast planet. He saw the huge demon disappearing and it reappeared as Wang She. His face was deathly pale and he laid in a pit which had been created by a thunderbolt strike on the vast planet, weak and panting intensely.
“Digestion problem?” Zhou Bao appeared next to Wang She, displaying a trace of a creepy smile.
“You should have a go at swallowing it!” Wang She snapped. Then, he attempted to force himself into a sitting position but instantly collapsed and sprawled on the ground.
“Hee hee, engulfing heaven and earth! Never thought I could obtain such a Divine Sense when going through the seventh Thunder Tribulation! Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for me to punish those guys!”
“Compared to the Divine Sense you recently acquired, I’m more interested in your transformation as a Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth!”
“What is so interesting about that? Did you really think it was an interesting event when a mere kid of five or six years of age, fell from a cliff after being hit by a treacherous palm attack? No, it was just that I was lucky at that time, because at the bottom of that cliff stood a den belonging to a Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth born in antiquity times. I don’t know what happened, but when I woke up, I was already a Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth!”
“No way!” Hearing Wang She’s tale, Zhou Bao’s expression turned increasingly odd. “Wang She’s experience sounded just like a story of a character in a legend. His soul time-traveled to this world and possessed an egg. When it hatched, Wang She was born as a descendant of the Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth race. Then, he successfully transformed into a human being by constant practice and sneaked into the Human Tribe. Considering his eagerness to take on Divine Wind Palace, could it be that this guy’s final objective was to eliminate the Human Tribe?”
Zhou Bao started musing on these far-fetched ideas. At this point, the horizon suddenly seemed to quake and a blazing light soared into the sky. Looking up, Zhou Bao saw a burst of starlight coming from the northern part of the sky. The light was so bright that Zhou Bao’s eyes were dazzled by its brilliance.
“Child-endowing Buddha also survived the Void Thunder Tribulation, and probably had endured eight Void Thunder Tribulations at one time.” Wang She sighed. This time he underwent seven Void Thunder Tribulations but failed at the eighth, which means that if he still wants to overcome the eighth Void Thunder Tribulation, he would have to face a severe hardship, numerous times more severe than this time, when they underwent the Void Thunder Tribulations together.
“Eight Thunder Tribulations? Yeah, that’s right. With the strength he has been concealing, it was actually difficult for him to not conquer the eighth Thunder Tribulation!” Zhou Bao said. Then, he wheeled around to look at Wang She and went on, “Are those guys really dead?”
“No, three of them managed to escape!” Wang She shook his head. “The Divine Sense of gobbling up the world is indeed impressive. However, I only grasped it a short time ago, so when I first cast it out, I was not careful enough and let some expert with fairy weapons on that ship break through the space and escape. But don’t worry, they must have been badly hurt in my space of engulfing. Even though they fled, their strength would have been significantly reduced!
After speaking, as if something had occurred to him, Wang She opened his mouth and released a jet of cyan light. From this light, several shining Pure Yang Celestial Devices and a fairy weapon popped out.
“In terms of fairy weapons, if we count the two they used in their escape, in this operation, they were carrying three fairy weapons! How extravagant of them!” Wang She stuck out his hand and grabbed the column-like object flickering with a white light. “But luckily, I was the one who took all the advantages!”
“This time, Divine Wind Palace certainly suffered a great loss, let alone Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and Youxian Temple. We can let the latter two go free, but not Divine Wind Palace. Though Yu Taixuan escaped, the rest are all dead. It’s a good time for us to round up the whole Divine Wind Palace at one go.”
“Are you going to wipe out Divine Wind Palace by making use of this opportunity?” Wang She was a little stunned. “Boy, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Although it might seem pretty remarkable when you saw me gobbling them up, you should know I only achieved that with the help of the Qi Power I got after undergoing the Thunder Tribulations and comprehending the Divine Sense. If you asked me to do this all over again, it would be impossible. What’s more, the inhibition in the Seven-deity Regions won’t allow me to do so there, either!”
“Humph, it doesn’t matter if you can turn into your original form. When you launch your Real Body of Roc, your strength won’t be inferior to your Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth form, or perhaps it will be even more powerful!”
“You do have a point. To me, transforming into my original form is merely a makeshift strategy. The really powerful technique is my Real Body of Roc. However, I just survived many Thunder Tribulations, so it will take a long time for my Real Body of Roc to evolve into the Original Spirit of Roc. As you just witnessed, my original form is not a man but a Giant Demon of Heaven and Earth. Thus, I have to exert greater efforts to turn the Original Spirit of my original form into the Original Spirit of Roc!”
“Dude, be patient. Now, with our combined powers, it’s not impossible to turn Divine Wind Palace upside down, but the chain reaction as a result of this is not something we can afford!” At this moment, the voice of Child-endowing Buddha could be heard. “Therefore, don’t do anything rash!”
