Chapter 599 The Demon Ancestor Returns, the Gods Appear

Under the golden light, all beings rose from despair.

This light screen gave them confidence and faith; Jiang Zu was still there, and they had not been abandoned.

Beyond the Six Paths, in a desolate, chaotic void, a massive rift is slowly widening.

Dark red flames burned at the edge of the rift, and an ancient road slowly emerged from it, leading to the endless depths of the void.

The road was paved with bones, each bone as clear as jade, shimmering with an eternal luster.

Those are the remains of gods who died in battle, the bones of all those who defied the heavens throughout the ages.

Some are human bones, some are animal bones, and some are the bones of gods and demons.

Every bone bears the marks of swords and blades left during the battle, and within each bone is sealed an undying battle spirit.

On either side of the road were endless voids and shattered stars, and at the end of the road was endless darkness.

Countless tattered battle flags stood on both sides of the road. The flags were rotten, but the runes on them still shone, faintly but stubbornly, which was the eternal belief of the gods.

At the end of the ancient road, a quiet, dark stone chamber stands, and in the center of the chamber lies an ancient bed of white bones belonging to gods and demons.

The ancient bed has deep bone patterns, imbued with endless killing energy. A silver-haired youth lies quietly on it with his eyes closed. His figure is slender and lonely, his skin is fair, and his long silver hair is scattered on the white bone bed.

His eyes were closed, his breath was deathly still, and his body was wrapped in thick, dark demonic chains, sealing his soul and blood. He had been asleep for ten thousand years, like a perfect body that had been sleeping for eternity, devoid of any life.

In an instant, the void trembled violently, and an ancient and desolate stone platform burst forth from the sky.

The platform was entirely black, its surface mottled, etched with the marks of time and battle.

Countless dim soul shadows floated on the platform. Each soul shadow was once a god or demon who dominated the ancient times, but now only remnants of their souls remained, floating, lingering, and waiting on the high platform.

This is the platform for bestowing titles upon generals.

Since time immemorial, the Platform for Appointing Generals has been suspended in the void, bearing countless ancient souls who died in battle, waiting for the being who can awaken them and lead them to fight again in the heavens.

At this moment, the platform for bestowing generalships burst through the air and hovered above the ancient bed of white bones.

The platform slowly rotated, and the spirit figures on the surface began to tremble, as if sensing something.

A more solidified soul figure emerged from the platform, with a slender figure, snow-white hair, and a face exactly the same as the figure on the ancient bed of white bones.

That was the remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor, the only wisp of his true spirit remaining after countless battles against the heavens.

The remnant soul drifted down from the platform where the general was to be appointed, like a light feather, and slowly sank into the sleeping body on the ancient bed.

The soul has returned to its rightful place!

hum!

The ancient sealing magic chains that had been binding the young man shattered inch by inch, turning into black ash that dissipated into the void.

The silver hair, silent for eternity, danced wildly without wind. The young man slowly raised his eyelids, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes that seemed to survey the ages.

"Having endured countless tribulations and hardships, I have finally returned!"

The Demon Ancestor's gaze was calm and indifferent, yet it pierced through the chaos and penetrated the six realms. A peerless demonic power, silent for eternity and suppressing all heavens, suddenly exploded!

The entire ancient path of white bones trembled and bowed its head, the tattered battle flags and runes along the roadside shone brightly, the chaotic air currents from beyond the realm all sank down to pay homage, and all the fierce and demonic energy within the Six Paths of Shattering bowed and submitted.

The silver-haired man slowly rose and stood on the ancient bed of bones. His physical body was immortal, his soul was perfect, and all the ancient seals had been broken. The first demon of the Primordial Era had been fully awakened.

A brilliant black and white light shone brightly in the sky above, and the Tai Chi diagram of gods and demons broke through the void and appeared in the world, spinning with a roar!

Yin and Yang separated life and death, and the Daoist principles of black and white swept across the heavens, covering chaos and reflecting the six realms. Even the golden light curtain of the New World's laws trembled slightly.

The Demon Ancestor stepped forward and landed on the platform for worshipping generals. Hundreds of millions of demonic shadows rose and fell beneath the diagram of gods and demons, kneeling in worship, while millions of remnant souls of gods and demons bowed and followed.

When the Demon Ancestor appeared, the entire world seemed to exist because of him; he was like an unparalleled being looking down upon all living beings.

"Who rules this vast and boundless land? Only I, the Demon Ancestor!"

The Demon Ancestor of All Ages, one of the two great heroes of the Primordial Era, a peerless powerhouse who has been able to directly confront the Heavenly Dao since time immemorial, has returned.

The moment he stepped out of the Path to Heaven, the entire void suddenly fell silent.

The surging chaotic energy, the collapsing fragments of laws, and the falling stars all paused for a moment before him.

His aura spread out, domineering, desolate, and arrogant, like an ancient and eternal demonic mountain, pressing down on everyone's hearts.

He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the new world, where he saw the golden light curtain.

A slight smile played on his lips, his voice low and hoarse, carrying an ancient, suppressed emotion: "The methods left behind by the Heavenly Emperor... As expected of you, Heavenly Emperor. This time, I've come to fight alongside you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a tremendous upheaval erupted throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths.

"The Demon Ancestor, that's the Demon Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor of all ages!"

"My God, he's really returned! The greatest demon of all time, one of the strongest beings in the world!"

"Legend has it that the Demon Ancestor is ruthless and insatiable, using all things as pawns and gods and demons as his generals; no one dares to contend with him!"

Countless ancient monsters, having lived through countless ages, turned pale and trembled uncontrollably as their deepest memories were awakened: the scene of the Demon Ancestor dominating all realms and commanding gods and demons was vividly before their eyes.

"With the Demon Ancestor around, we still have hope!"

Countless ordinary people knelt and kowtowed, shouting loudly at the silver-haired figure.

The words "Demon Ancestor" echoed through the crowd, like a shot of adrenaline injected into everyone's heart.

The Demon Ancestor's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and he murmured in a low voice, "The peerless Demon Ancestor who disappeared for countless ages has truly returned."

The old man guarding the tomb smiled: "After slumbering for eternity, the Demon Ancestor has returned to his throne and his strength has greatly increased. In all realms, a giant capable of contending with the Heavenly Dao has finally appeared."

Chen Bei stood at the front of the crowd, clenching his fists, his eyes flashing with excitement: "The Demon Ancestor has returned, the ancient gods are really coming back."

In the Fifth Realm, Chu Bawang and Mo Qi, who were busy saving all living beings, saw the Demon Ancestor return and showed expressions of joy, as if they had just expected it.

The King of Chu said softly, "I knew you wouldn't die."

Mo Qi stared at the Demon Ancestor, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He saw the Demon Ancestor's supreme aura and thought, "As expected, you've indeed broken through to that legendary realm. If I survive this, I'll definitely have a good fight with you!"

Seeing the Demon Ancestor return, Rogue Dragon raised a question: "The Demon Ancestor has returned, so what about the legendary ancient forbidden god, Dugu Potian? Shouldn't he also return?"

As everyone knows, Dugu Potian and the Demon Ancestor are known as the two great heroes of the ancient world, having survived nine reincarnations without perishing. Their combat strength and foundation have always been equal. Now that the Demon Ancestor has returned, there is no reason for Dugu Potian not to return as well.

"Dugu Potian Yao..."

Upon hearing this, the old tomb keeper looked in the direction of the platform where the general was to be appointed and answered firmly: "He will return. He will not let us down. The Demon Ancestor has appeared in the world and sounded the horn of war against the heavens. He will surely return as well."

The Demon Ancestor nodded slightly: "Back in the ancient war, one of them commanded the gods and demons, and the other was in charge of the chaos of reincarnation. They led the overall situation of the ancient war. It can be said that the two were indispensable. Now that the six paths have collapsed and the Heavenly Dao is about to emerge, there is no reason for Dugu Potian to lie low and avoid the world."

Not only the old man guarding the tomb was discussing this, but everyone who knew about the Demon Ancestor and Dugu Potian was also discussing this issue.

The two ancient heroes who fought against the heavens are renowned throughout history.

hum!

Just as the commotion of the Demon Ancestor's return subsided, a beam of light shone from the depths of the void.
