389: Chapter 389 Heavenly Dao Sect (2)

Heavenly Dao Sovereign heard this, a faint smile curling his lips. He looked at everyone, his eyes holding a hint of reassurance and an even more undeniable certainty: "Rest assured. How things were before is how they will be in the future."

This single sentence was like a calming pill, settling into everyone's hearts.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of relief.

After all, when one could be called a sect founder or ancestor and rule over a territory, who would be willing to lower themselves and become someone else's subordinate?

Their speed through the void was extremely fast. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the familiar aura of the Domain of Chaos rushed toward them.

In this region, the Laws were chaotic all year round, yet it also nurtured countless Heaven And Earth Treasures and gave birth to many unruly powerhouses.

"Everyone, until we meet again," Immortal Devouring Great Emperor spoke first. He exchanged a glance with Heart Devouring Great Emperor beside him. Black Qi surged around them, turning into two streaks of light that sped toward the Immortal Devouring Sect.

The Immortal Devouring Sect was located in the Immortal Devouring Mountain Range in the eastern part of the Domain of Chaos. The mountains were covered with strange vegetation that devoured the immortal path, making it one of the top powers in the Domain of Chaos.

Blood Venerable chuckled darkly. Amidst the churning blood mist, his figure had already vanished from the spot, leaving only a cold voice echoing in the void: "Farewell."

His figure turned into a streak of blood light, flying toward the Blood God Sect, which was shrouded in blood mist all year round with soaring Evil Qi.

Next, nebulae swirled around Vastness Great Emperor as he turned into a brilliant pillar of light, flying toward the Vast Star Sea in the west. The Vast Sect was hidden deep within the star sea, accompanied by the stars.

Steps of Laws appeared beneath Great Emperor Yu Dao's feet as he walked step by step toward Mt. Yu Dao in the north. Mt. Yu Dao towered into the clouds, its peak covered in Great Dao runes, serving as the Foundation of the Dao Controlling Sect.

In the blink of an eye, only the Heavenly Dao Sovereign and the four Great Emperors—Heng Yu, Mie Chen, Jue Jie, and Wan Jie—remained in the void.

The Heavenly Dao Sovereign's gaze was deep as he looked toward the Holy Demon Sect and said in a heavy voice, "Let's go, back to the sect."

As his voice fell, five figures turned into five long rainbows, speeding toward the mountain gate of the Holy Demon Sect.

The Holy Demon Sect was located in the Saint Demon Mountain Range in the center of the Domain of Chaos. The mountain gate towered into the clouds, forged from hundreds of millions of tons of profound iron mixed with Saint Demon Crystals. Three blood-red characters, "Holy Demon Sect," were carved on the gate, exuding a sense of dominance and ruthlessness. Every stroke contained the ten-thousand-year cultivation of the Saint Demon Great Emperor. If an ordinary Cultivator approached, their Divine Soul would likely be shattered by the Evil Qi within the characters.

On both sides of the mountain gate stood two Saint Demon stone statues, tens of millions of feet tall. The statues were lifelike and emitted a sky-high Evil Qi, serving as the core of the Holy Demon Sect's mountain-protecting array.

Five figures descended from the sky and landed on the plaza of the Saint Demon Hall.

The plaza was paved entirely with Divine Stones, each weighing a million pounds and carved with profound runes. This was a Spirit Gathering Array meticulously arranged by successive Sect Masters of the Holy Demon Sect.

The Heavenly Dao Sovereign stepped into the Saint Demon Hall.

Inside the hall, the beams were carved and the rafters painted. The ceiling was inlaid with countless Star Stones, shining brightly and illuminating the entire hall like daylight.

Ten-thousand-year Demon Patterns were carved on the hall pillars, each containing terrifying power. In the center of the hall sat a throne carved from Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade. Dragon Qi faintly circled the throne; it was the Sect Master's throne of the Saint Demon Great Emperor, still exuding a majestic aura after ten thousand years.

The Heavenly Dao Sovereign walked straight to the warm jade throne and sat down.

The four Great Emperors—Heng Yu, Mie Chen, Jue Jie, and Wan Jie—sat respectfully on jade chairs on both sides below the throne, their expressions solemn.

Sitting on the throne, the Heavenly Dao Sovereign's gaze swept over the four people below. He then flicked his finger, and four pale-gold sound-transmission Talismans silently vanished into the void, flying toward the four directions of the Holy Demon Sect.

These four Talismans were sent to the four Supreme Great Emperors: Vast Heaven Great Emperor, Great Emperor Jie Zhu, Great Emperor Xing Qiong, and Great Emperor Yu Jie.

Before long, four figures rushed to the Saint Demon Hall.

Vast Heaven Great Emperor, Great Emperor Jie Zhu, Great Emperor Xing Qiong, and Great Emperor Yu Jie.

As soon as the four entered the hall, they saw the young figure sitting on the throne.

Vast Heaven Great Emperor was stunned at first, then his brows furrowed tightly as a flash of anger crossed his eyes. He shouted sternly, "Who are you? How dare you sit on the Sect Master's throne of my Holy Demon Sect?"

His voice was like a thunderclap, exploding within the hall and causing the Star Stones on the ceiling to tremble slightly. His Imperial Might suddenly erupted, pressing down toward the young man on the throne.

After speaking, Vast Heaven Great Emperor abruptly turned his head to look at Heng Yu, Mie Chen, and the other two sitting on both sides below, his eyes filled with questioning.

But when he saw that Heng Yu, Mie Chen, and the others were calm and showed no surprise, the doubt in his heart grew even stronger.

Given the personalities of Heng Yu and the others, if someone dared to intrude into the Saint Demon Hall and sit on the Sect Master's throne, they would surely intervene. Yet now they sat steadily, which made Vast Heaven Great Emperor feel suspicious.

Just then, the young man sitting on the throne slowly stood up.

A flash of light surrounded him. The ordinary green robe he wore instantly transformed into a black dragon robe embroidered with the stars of the heavens. His aura shifted from the youthful greenness of a young man to a domineering and peerless majesty that overawed the Universe. He was exactly the Saint Demon Great Emperor they were familiar with.

But before everyone could react, his aura changed once again. The dragon robe vanished, replaced by a snow-white Daoist robe carved with Heavenly Dao runes. A faint golden light surrounded him, and a surge of noble spirit rushed forth, making him look like a completely different person from the previous Saint Demon Great Emperor.

This aura was vast and boundless, as if it encompassed the entire world, making the four Great Emperors feel a trace of awe originating from their Souls.

"What, you don't even recognize me anymore?" A calm voice came from the figure, sounding like a Heavenly Dao decree echoing throughout the hall.

Vast Heaven Great Emperor's pupils contracted suddenly. The Heaven-Shattering Great Sword in his hand gave a violent "buzzing" vibration. He cried out in shock, "You... you are the Saint Demon Great Emperor?"

"The Saint Demon Great Emperor is me, and I am the Heavenly Dao Sovereign," the Heavenly Dao Sovereign spoke plainly. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority. "The Saint Demon Great Emperor was merely a disguised identity."

As his voice fell, he flipped his palm, and an ancient heavenly book suddenly appeared in his hand.

The book was entirely golden, its pages carved with countless profound Heavenly Dao runes. The runes flickered with a faint golden light, and a vast, ancient, and supreme aura emanated from the pages, filling the entire hall.

The heavenly book floated in mid-air, with billions of Dao Laws circulating around it, as if it could control the life and death of all things in the world. It was indeed the legendary heavenly dao heavenly book.

Upon seeing this, the pupils of Vast Heaven Great Emperor and the others shrank violently, and their breathing became rapid.

The heavenly dao heavenly book was a legendary supreme treasure that governed the order of the Heavenly Dao. It contained the Great Dao principles from the beginning of the Universe's birth and possessed the supreme power to destroy the world or redefine the Universe.

No wonder the Saint Demon Great Emperor could develop and strengthen the Holy Demon Sect into one of the top powers in the Domain of Chaos within ten thousand years.

It turned out he was actually the Heavenly Dao Sovereign, holding a supreme treasure like the heavenly dao heavenly book.

The Heavenly Dao Sovereign held the heavenly dao heavenly book and smiled faintly. Then, with a flip of his palm, the heavenly book vanished from his hand, and the vast aura also receded.

Vast Heaven Great Emperor took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. He bowed to the Heavenly Dao Sovereign and asked in a heavy voice, "Sect Master, why did you disguise yourself as the Saint Demon Great Emperor and hide your identity for so many years?"

The Heavenly Dao Sovereign sat on the throne, his gaze distant as he looked at the void outside the hall. His voice carried a hint of weariness and a hint of relief: "Because I wanted to live a stable life. The Domain of Chaos is situated in the crack between the Light Realm and the Dark Realm. If I had exposed my identity early and the news of me holding the heavenly dao heavenly book had spread, the Light Realm and Dark Realm would never have allowed my Holy Demon Sect to develop so smoothly, nor would they have let us form an Alliance with other powers. They probably would have joined forces to invade long ago."

Vast Heaven Great Emperor nodded, understanding in his heart.

The Light Realm and the Dark Realm had always been incompatible, yet both viewed the Domain of Chaos as a thorn in their side. If they knew the Heavenly Dao Sovereign was presiding here, they would surely stop at nothing to seize the heavenly dao heavenly book. At that time, the Domain of Chaos would surely be plunged into the fires of war.

"Then why expose your identity now?" Great Emperor Jie Zhu asked in a solemn tone. The Qi of Tribulation around him churned slightly; he was clearly very concerned about this question.

A complex look flashed in the Heavenly Dao Sovereign's eyes as he spoke slowly, "Because we found the cosmic supreme treasure, the creation god axe, in the Creation Secret Realm. To seize the creation god axe, I had to expose my identity."

"What? The creation god axe."
