Volume One: The Calamity of Witch and Demon Chapter 192: Polaris and the Sun—Which Shall Be Emperor?

When Dijiun saw the Lord of the Great Dipper in such a state, how could he possibly spare him? He immediately produced the River Diagram and the Luo Writing, and then two ring-shaped sacred treasures appeared in his hands.

They were the Solar Essence Wheel and the Lunar Essence Wheel.

At that moment, the two treasures intermingled in a most peculiar fashion, radiating an overwhelmingly powerful aura.

"So Dijiun still had such a hidden trump card even now!" Hou Yi exclaimed in amazement.

But the Solar and Lunar Essence Wheels were already spinning at high speed, hurtling straight toward the Lord of the Great Dipper.

The Lord of the Great Dipper hastily invoked the laws to resist.

What is going on? Why can I no longer sense the resonance of the Great Dipper Star?

Suddenly, panic seized the Lord of the Great Dipper.

"Come help me block them!"

Yet to his utter surprise, the Lord of the Rabbit and the others swiftly fled from his line of sight.

"Forgive us, elder brother!"

At the same time, the other Heavenly Lords of the Year did not dare meet the gaze of the Lord of the Great Dipper. Instead, they rapidly wounded the star god beside them, then flew swiftly to the side of the demon court, arriving behind Dijiun.

After that, more and more star gods began attacking the people beside them.

"You are courting death!"

At that moment, the Lord of the Long Day Star, Changxi, and the others turned sharply toward the star gods who were defecting one after another.

The next instant, they and several other star gods suddenly erupted with terrifying power, instantly striking down the traitors.

In an instant, the starry expanse was filled with an intense and dense aura of metal and slaughter.

There was also the bone-chilling, soul-freezing rhyme of the Great Yin laws.

Of course, some managed to escape the attacks of the Lord of the Long Day Star and Changxi because they were fairly strong or simply lucky.

"How is this possible? Why are your powers so great?"

Many people looked despairingly at Changxi and the others.

"Wasn't it already impossible to advance to the Primordial Unity realm?"

"If you are incapable yourself, you should look for the problem within yourself, not keep complaining."

Changxi and the Lord of the Long Day Star cast sharp looks at those who questioned them, and answered coldly.

"Each of you lacks a pure understanding of your own laws and star offices. How could you possibly have any chance of breaking through?"

After hearing Changxi and the others, they were instantly reduced to ashes of despair.

At this point, Dijiun saw that many of his plans had been disrupted. How could he possibly remain seated? He immediately seized a treasure and charged into the ancient star gods.

However, when Changxi saw this, she forcefully blocked him.

"Oh? Is this not my dear sister-in-law? So warm toward me. Could it be that seeing me marry your sister has made you take a liking to me?"

"Maniac. Today I will make you pay the price. I have nothing to do with such an ungrateful creature."

"Don't speak so harshly. You have not even tried, so how can you know that you will not end up liking me as she does?"

Dijiun looked at Changxi with a wicked, seductive smile, though something indescribable glimmered in his eyes.

"Shut up. Go back and tell her this: from now on, if I ever see her again, I will kill her without mercy!"

By the end of her words, Changxi's gaze was filled with ice. Even her look toward Dijiun was one of utter disgust.

"Oh, but look at you. You wield the Great Yin law, while I command the power of the Great Sun law. Is not the Solar and Lunar Essence Wheel just like the two of us now?"

"Shut up!"

"Something like you even dares call itself the Great Sun law? Utterly ridiculous."

Great Yin rhythms surfaced over Changxi's body, instantly freezing Dijiun.

He felt as though even his primordial spirit was about to be frozen solid; the Great Sun law he had always been proud of was rendered utterly powerless before Changxi.

By this time, countless quasi-sage demon kings and demon saints of the demon race were already locked in fierce battle with the ancient star gods.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared beside the multicolored sphere and thrust directly into it.

It was the Rat Year Lord, the last one who had made no move until now.

After the sphere was pierced, the Lord of the Great Dipper suddenly burst into frenzied laughter.

"If you will not give me a future, then let us all perish together!"

Then he flashed swiftly to the shattered sphere and self-detonated.

"Stop him!"

Countless star gods cried out toward the Lord of the Great Dipper with bloodshot eyes. But it was already too late.

The next instant, they watched in horror as the sphere began to collapse and disperse, revealing the Purple Star Emperor, now even weaker, his origin almost entirely depleted.

"Good! My long plot has not been wasted. Today, I have already lost nothing. So long as you die, this starry sky will truly belong to me alone from now on!" Dijiun suddenly wore the look of a man whose scheme had succeeded.

Suddenly, countless star gods noticed purplish imperial qi gathering incessantly around Dijiun.

However, Dijiun was not condensing it from the Purple Star Emperor Star, but from the Sun Star.

And when the demon race of the heavenly court saw Dijiun's current state, they were overjoyed.

The ancient star gods, by contrast, looked anxiously toward the Purple Star Emperor.

As the purplish-red imperial qi continued to gather around the emperor, just as it was about to form the imperial seal, everything suddenly came to a halt at that very moment, and no further change occurred.

"Hahahaha! It seems you are not suited for this imperial throne after all!" Hou Yi still did not forget to mock Dijiun.

Then he continued to fight alongside the witch clan warriors, slaying the demon army.

Meanwhile, an entirely different change suddenly took place on the side of the Purple Star Emperor.

Countless multicolored streams of energy continuously converged toward him.

"This is..."

"The purest of stellar laws! Could it be..."

Seeing this, countless star gods thought that the Purple Star Emperor was about to attain the Dao. Yet the next moment, they were disappointed to discover that things were not as they had imagined.

After the Purple Star Emperor gathered the pure stellar laws, an unusual transformation actually took place in his body.

At the same time, Dijiun discovered that he could no longer condense the imperial path laws at all.

"All demons under my command, attack the Purple Star immediately. Do not let him have any chance of rising from the ashes."

Dijiun looked at the Purple Star Emperor with venomous hatred, wishing that the emperor would collapse and die before his eyes at this very moment.

However, after the Purple Star Emperor gathered the stellar laws, nothing untoward happened.

Though he still looked as though he could collapse at any moment, there was no sign that he would die immediately.

And the star gods quickly resisted the demon race's attacks.

After a long while, the Purple Star Emperor smiled faintly and said, "So be it. Perhaps this still is not the time of my destiny."

The next instant, he smiled at the gathered star gods.

"You have worked hard to protect me."

Then the Purple Star Emperor took out the Purple Star Imperial Seal.

"So there was still this thing."

Seeing it, Dijiun's heart suddenly stirred with certainty, and he knew how important this object was to him.

The demon kings of the demon race also heard Dijiun's intent, and all began scrambling to seize the imperial seal from the Purple Star Emperor's hands.

Yet they discovered that the Purple Star Emperor seemed not to have the slightest intention of defending it.

He did not even grant them a glance.

But very soon, they understood why he acted this way.

Because when they touched the imperial seal, they found themselves instantly fixed in place, unable to do anything at all.

The imperial seal was never that simple. Those who had not won its recognition could not lightly lay a hand upon it.
