Chapter 44: Ten Demons Unite, Li Qiye Gains Ten Mighty Generals!
Kunlun Mountain, wreathed in ethereal mist and divine radiance, was the Mortal Realm’s richest spiritual haven, hailed as an immortal peak. Teeming with spirit beasts and ancient trees, it birthed creatures rivalling human intellect. Revered by Taoists as sacred, no sect could claim it, preserving its purity.
But today, that sanctity was shattered.
Boom!
Thunder roared from the horizon. The black clouds stretched endlessly as jagged lightning lacerated the sky and scourged the earth like a world-ending tribulation. A colossal shadow loomed, blanketing hundreds of peaks. A mammoth elephant, knees towering above summits, materialised. “Moo!” “The Demon Ancestor’s power is vast! The ancient thunder elephant seed remade me!” Its bellows shook Kunlun.
This was the White Elephant Demon King from Lion Camel Ridge, reborn through the ancient thunder elephant seed, his strength soaring to the realm of immortal spirit beasts. Obeying the Demon Ancestor’s command, he arrived promptly. Soon after, a deafening lion’s roar erupted. “Second Brother, I’ve awaited you! Congratulations!” Mountains quaked, avalanches roared. A palace-sized lion paw shattered a snow peak, revealing the hundred-zhang-tall Azure Lion Demon King. His lion aura unleashed blizzards across a hundred li, natural disasters at his whim—his current might.
The White Elephant laughed. “Mutual joy! Big Brother, I bow to you!” Their reunion’s aura shook Kunlun. Native spirit beasts, once proud under Taoist reverence, cowered. Compared to these titans, they were nothing. Yellow Brow, Black Bear, and other Demon Kings soon arrived, each heralded by cataclysms—sandstorms or collapsing mountains—proof of their successful transformations, all now immortal spirits. None, however, surpassed the Azure Lion.
Until a figure shook the heavens. “Roar!” A terrifying cry, blending dragon wail and bull bellow, rocked the cosmos. Spirit beasts trembled, some losing sentience. Even Yellow Brow gasped, “The Bull Demon King!” The Azure Lion tensed, claws digging in, growling warily. Mountains crumbled, the earth split. A thousand-zhang azure-blue dragon soared into the sky.
Coiling above, its draconic majesty and demonic bull aura reigned supreme—the transformed Bull Demon King. “Hahaha! Thanks to the Demon Ancestor, I unearthed the Primordial Supreme Pill beneath the Sea-Calming Needle! I’ll be his first guardian!” His roar pierced the heavens. Beasts rose from nature, demons from beasts, with clear tiers. The Bull Demon King, once a beast king, had ascended to immortal spirit, akin to young Azure Dragons or Vermilion Birds. Now, as a primordial beast, he rivaled mature Azure Dragons, poised to become a fifth celestial elephant god, ruling a star constellation and seven seats if ascended. His joy was boundless.
Other Demon Kings gazed in awe and envy. The Demon Ancestor favoured none; the Bull’s feat stemmed from his latent potential, now unleashed. But as he preened, a piercing eagle cry cut through. “Bull Legs! You, the Ancestor’s top guardian!?” Shock rippled—the aura of another primordial beast. Counting, one Demon King remained: the Golden-Winged Peng King.
In Chang’an’s Daming Palace, at the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, two Great Celestial Masters stood before the Mysterious Mechanism Tower, drenched in sweat. The tower quaked, rivalling Chong Lou’s descent. A star chart rose, revealing the Ten Demon Kings’ convergence at Kunlun, with primordial beasts born. “Quick, inform His Majesty! The Ten Demon Kings gather at Kunlun! Primordial beasts have emerged!”
