Chapter 646: The Formidable Donghuang Taiyi
In the sea.
Donghuang Taiyi's face was ashen as he looked at the firmament.
The group of demons he had resurrected had all been annihilated.
That Divine Sense just now.
Wasn't it from the people of the new era?
Donghuang Taiyi suppressed a surge of anger in his heart.
He did not choose to leave.
Instead, he stood his ground.
He sensed several energies approaching this place.
The people of the new era had mobilized the power of the New Heavenly Dao to exterminate his resurrected demons, and they did not stop there—they were coming towards him!
Did they really think he, Donghuang Taiyi, was no longer formidable?
Donghuang Taiyi decided not to leave either. His whole body's aura grew more oppressive, causing the surrounding void to tremble, as if it were about to collapse.
"Bring the Bell!"
Donghuang Taiyi suddenly bellowed, wanting to summon the Donghuang Bell again.
With the Donghuang Bell, he was a different person than when he was without it.
If he had the Donghuang Bell, he would not fear anyone.
As Donghuang Taiyi roared,
The void trembled briefly.
But nothing appeared.
Clearly, the Donghuang Bell could not descend to this world.
Donghuang Taiyi clenched his teeth.
But he still did not want to leave.
If he could endure this and then leave, he would not be Donghuang Taiyi.
With that thought,
Donghuang Taiyi stood in place, waiting.
After waiting for a while,
Streams of energy arrived from afar, causing the surrounding sea to overturn and the sun and moon to lose their luster.
One of the strong Divine Senses directly pressed towards Donghuang Taiyi, attempting to suppress him.
In the face of this Divine Sense, Donghuang Taiyi did not even lift an eyelid and took it head-on.
Such a level of Divine Sense, it did not even qualify to make him take a step back!
In Donghuang Taiyi's line of sight,
The void in front of him suddenly began to tremble.
Then a Spatial Passage emerged.
Within the Spatial Passage, various entities began to appear.
These entities were of various forms.
A few were in human shapes.
The others were very strange.
Some had demon-like appearances, others looked like angels, and then there were those that could not be described.
"Demon Emperor."
A voice came from the void.
This voice was familiar to Donghuang Taiyi.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his gaze quickly fixed on that space in the void.
He saw a figure emerge from the void.
It was Baize.
When Donghuang Taiyi saw Baize, his pupils constricted slightly.
"Baize!"
Donghuang Taiyi had known for some time that Baize had defected to the new era, but seeing him now, he still could not help feeling a surge of rage.
Their demon race had never let down Baize.
Yet Baize had chosen to do such a thing.
Betrayal!!
Donghuang Taiyi still could not quite understand why Baize would choose betrayal, especially since Baize was not the kind of person like the Demon Master.
The Baize of the past was a very loyal person.
"Demon Emperor."
Baize walked out of the void, stood beside Ye Luo, and looked at Donghuang Taiyi, inclining his head slightly in a bow.
"Baize, why do this?"
Donghuang Taiyi lowered his voice and asked somberly.
"Demon Emperor, the era has changed, our time has passed."
Baize shook his head slightly and spoke.
He looked directly at Donghuang Taiyi with a calm gaze.
"Is this your reason for betrayal?"
Donghuang Taiyi's brows twitched, and mana fluctuations faintly emanated from the palm of his hand.
"The Baize of old may have died for the Demon Race already, but the Baize of now is merely a person of the new era, where does the question of betrayal even arise?"
Baize shook his head again.
"Ha, if the Baize of old is dead, then there's no need for the current Baize to exist either," Donghuang Taiyi murmured to himself.
His words fell.
Suddenly, he exploded into action.
His entire being lunged towards Baize to kill him.
His movements were incredibly fast.
In just an instant, Donghuang Taiyi appeared in front of Baize and struck out with a palm at Baize.
Donghuang Taiyi's speed was so fast that Baize, Ye Luo, and the others could hardly react.
At the critical moment, it was still Sun Wukong who reacted, directly blocking Donghuang Taiyi with one hand.
Sun Wukong blocked Donghuang Taiyi's palm with his own.
The palms collided.
Boom!
A loud noise erupted.
Sun Wukong was forced back dozens of steps.
But Donghuang Taiyi only took a step or two back.
Clearly, Sun Wukong was no match for Donghuang Taiyi.
At least Sun Wukong's combat strength was not on par with Donghuang Taiyi's.
"Impressive," Donghuang Taiyi remarked, his blow having failed to hit its mark without a trace of anger, he gave Sun Wukong a casual glance before striking again.
This time, the others were all fully alert.
Ye Luo and the rest joined the fray.
Suddenly, a chaotic battle began.
Donghuang Taiyi faced several opponents alone without showing any signs of weakness, even displaying an increasingly fierce tenacity as the battle progressed.
Inevitably, Ye Luo and the others were weaker than Donghuang Taiyi.
However, Sun Wukong displayed extraordinary combat strength, single-handedly withstanding Donghuang Taiyi and proving to be the main force in the clash.
After a fierce fight,
Donghuang Taiyi suddenly leaped out of the melee, forcing everyone back with a move.
With one hand behind his back, he coldly observed Ye Luo and the others.
After scanning the group,
His gaze finally settled on Baize.
"Is this the combat strength of your new era? Just this? You have no chance of victory. I have not even regained one-tenth of my combat strength yet, not to mention the Demon Emperor is still around. What combat strength can your new era even speak of?"
"Baize, I'll give you one more chance, return to the old era, and I will let bygones be bygones regarding what you have done," said Donghuang Taiyi in a deep voice.
"Demon Emperor, since I am a person of the new era, I would not commit an act of betrayal. Besides, our new era might not necessarily be weaker. The people here are not the strongest of the new era. If the strongest of the new era were to appear, even with the Demon Emperor on your side, you might not be able to suppress him!"
Baize bowed to Donghuang Taiyi, speaking plainly.
In his eyes, if Chu Yuan were to take action, the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor might not have the upper hand.
Baize was full of confidence in Chu Yuan.
As long as Chu Yuan stood, the new era would never collapse!
"Oh? Isn't all the combat strength of your new era right here?" Donghuang Taiyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That's not the case."
Baize shook his head.
Now Donghuang Taiyi was puzzled.
He had seen the combat strength ranking of the new era.
The first place seemed to be that Armored Monkey.
This could be seen on the Old Heavenly Dao's combat ranking list by the shape and form of its silhouette.
He had seen that Armored Monkey, so he could be certain.
The first place was right here.
So, who was Baize talking about?
Donghuang Taiyi slightly narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
Just as Donghuang Taiyi was about to ask something more,
Ye Luo stepped forward.
His complexion looked somewhat grim.
He had already received information from the New Heavenly Dao.
The Demon Emperor could no longer be contained and was on the verge of awakening.
If they did not drive Donghuang Taiyi away now,
Later, they would have to face the combined strength of the two most powerful beings of the old era.
"Demon Emperor, back off! Otherwise, you'll stay here!"
Ye Luo could not care less at this point, directly communicating with the Heavenly Dao, drawing upon the power bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Imprint from the New Heavenly Dao...
