Chapter 360: Chapter 191: The Demon Lord Battles the Demon Lord! The War of Imperial Arms, the Shattering of the Galaxy! The Resigned Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing!_3

Initially, her cultivation level was much higher than Dugu Weizun’s, but after employing the imperial weapon, their strengths were almost equal, so in the end, she stepped back and allowed Dugu Weizun to take away the Arhat who had turned to the demonic path.

She had no choice but to retreat. The young were too impetuous. Dugu Weizun would fully unleash the imperial weapon at the slightest disagreement and even considered reviving a divine weapon.

The female bodhisattva didn’t want to play such a game with Dugu Weizun. It was too depleting, and if they both ended up injured, it would delay the grand plan of the Buddhist Sect’s eastward propagation and simply hand Dao Sect an advantage on a silver platter.

House of Divine Armies.

Inside a cave heaven, a rather portly elder waved his hand and erased the images in the void, sitting down with a chuckle.

Behind him were nine types of weapons including the Divine Sword, a wild blade, a square sky halberd, a Silver Spear, and a phoenix-winged golden lancer, each a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon resonating faintly with the portly elder.

“Dugu Weizun is not up to par. He is far less powerful than Dongfang Qingcang,” the portly elder said, shaking his head slightly.

In this battle, Dugu Weizun appeared to be on the losing side, relying solely on the Devil Sword Breaking Red Dust for support. Dugu Weizun’s willingness to make a sacrificial play, extremely ruthless, increased the might of Devil Sword Breaking Red Dust, causing Myriad Demon Mountain’s Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang to step back.

If the fight continued, Dugu Weizun would have to fully unleash the imperial weapon, and in the end, even divine weapons might be revived, resulting in a fight to the death with him.

Dongfang Qingcang went to demand an explanation and stabilize the wavering hearts within the Demon Clan. He wasn’t truly intending to engage in a decisive battle with Heavenly Demon Hall. Even if he won, the victory would come at a great cost to his vitality, not worth it for Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, and would be a classic case of winning the battle but losing the war.

Summit of All Stars.

The northern part of Qianyuan Divine Province was entirely the territory of the Barbarian Clan. The environment here was notably harsher than those of the Human Clan and Demon Clan, but it was suitable for the Barbarian Clan.

The Barbarian Clan had naturally strong physiques and the Barbarians from Qianyuan Divine Province were Star Barbarians, skilled in using the power of the stars to temper their bodies, unafraid of the perilous environment.

Atop the Summit of All Stars, constructed from countless fallen stars, a middle-aged man of about ten feet tall with bulging muscles sat cross-legged. Starlight from beyond the heavens streamed down like a reversed galaxy, constantly tempering his physical body and simultaneously nurturing his Primordial Spirit.

“The Galaxy Body Cleansing Scripture is indeed difficult to cultivate,”

the middle-aged man sighed. He was practicing a top-tier Barbarian imperial scripture, which was among the strongest body tempering cultivation techniques in Qianyuan Divine Province.

While cultivating, he also observed the grand battle happening in the sky from afar but showed no intention of assisting his allies from the Demon Clan.

This was a personal grudge. Even as allies, he would not interfere unless the Four Sacred Lands of Mortal World threatened to annihilate Myriad Demon Mountain.

“Dongfang Qingcang, this Demon Lord, lacks determination. It’s time for him to step down,”

said the middle-aged man as the battle concluded, returning to his starlight tempering.

He had long seen that Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang, fearful and overly cautious, lacked the strategic ability. Relying on the Demon Clan wouldn’t work; focusing on strengthening the Barbarian Clan internally was the correct move.

He also knew the reason. Three thousand years ago, in a battle with that old Daoist from Bai Yujing, Dongfang Qingcang was almost beaten to death, severely damaging his Dao heart.

Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak.

“Tsk, just as I, the old ancestor, expected,”

Han Li retracted his gaze, looking at Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing with a smile.

“What are you trying to say?”

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing felt a jolt in her heart but feigned calmness, speaking coldly.

Her cultivation was sealed, and she didn’t know what had happened, but she had some guesses in mind.

She and the Heavenly Moon Wheel were captured by this man. Surely the Demon Lord of Myriad Demon Mountain, Dongfang Qingcang, would react.

This man’s composure indicated that Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang had not discovered the truth of their capture and had taken the matter to the head of Magic Domain Devil Temple.

Heavenly Demon Hall’s Demon Lord was extremely powerful. In less than a hundred years after succeeding the position, he dared to snatch someone from the hands of the Buddhist Sect’s female bodhisattva. With Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang knocking on his door, given Demon Lord Dugu Weizun’s temperament, it was highly likely that he would not offer any explanation.

What this man was watching must have been the great battle between Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang and Demon Lord Dugu Weizun.

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing was astute, handling the Demon Clan’s affairs very competently during her stewardship, earning high regard from Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang.

Although she hadn’t seen any scenes, she deduced quite a lot of what occurred in the Devil Region from Han Li’s tone and actions.

Seeing him take pleasure in the misfortune of others, it was highly probable that Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang returned without accomplishing anything and could not do anything to Demon Lord Dugu Weizun.

Since Myriad Demon Mountain’s Demon Lord would not be able to find this man and could not vent his anger on Heavenly Demon Hall, upon his return, although he would rage, it was unlikely he would search for her publicly. Instead, he would likely do so in secret.

Based on her understanding of Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang, Xue Yueqing felt that she was probably being abandoned.

Xue Yueqing wasn’t disappointed; when she fell into this man’s hands, she already had this realization.

An organization that appeared suddenly, possessing four Tongxuan Realm powerhouses and one top-tier imperial weapon, as well as three Supreme Grade Divine Weapons, was sufficient to shake a Sacred Land.

If they had one more divine weapon as their pillar, this organization could become a new Sacred Land in Qianyuan Divine Province, even the foremost Sacred Land.

After all, Sacred Lands like Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, and Myriad Demon Mountain only had one Tongxuan Realm powerhouse, with at most one more hidden away, far inferior to this organization.

It was normal for Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang to return without success and ultimately give up on her. His traces were eradicated by the imperial weapon, and unless Myriad Demon Mountain revived a divine weapon, it was unlikely to detect any clues.

But the cost of reviving a divine weapon is immense, isn’t it?

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing didn’t feel she was worth that price. The resources consumed in reviving a divine weapon could produce at least four or five Divine Yuan Realm Demon Emperors.
