Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Demon Heart, Holy Court Descend

The storm gradually ceased, and a bottomless pit appeared beneath the ground.

That pit was precisely where the Dao Source at the core resided.

Xu Zimei’s gaze fell indifferently.

Yet, she did not sense any aura of Great Emperor Funiu within it.

Suddenly turning around, Great Emperor Funiu was standing right behind her.

With both hands raised, he emitted an overwhelming surge of power.

From within the deep pit, an endless stream of Dao Source power gushed forth, soaring into the sky.

It was a river imbued with Taoist Charm.

The river of Spiritual Energy above erupted with unprecedented strength, continuously flowing into Great Emperor Funiu’s body.

With a wave of his hand, the Dao Source returned within him.

“Come again,” Xu Zimei said.

Great Emperor Funiu’s gaze was deep.

“Dayan Divine Art,” he uttered softly, and the Dao Source in his hands began to transform.

The entire Qianniu Taoist Court trembled, and the areas enveloped by the Dao Source experienced earth-shattering changes.

The freshly planted Immortal Trees instantly grew into Sky-reaching Great Trees.

One Divine Beast after another broke through, filling the air with their roars.

All beings of heaven and earth began to transform in an evolutionary manner.

And Great Emperor Funiu was the endpoint of all this evolution.

Under the blessing of the Dao Source and Dayan Divine Art, the might around him grew increasingly majestic.

The void had already shattered into a Black Hole.

The surroundings were in ruins.

Xu Zimei approached through the void, and Great Emperor Funiu let out a shout.

Like a divine sound of heaven and earth, the waves of his voice spread out, shattering the void along their path.

“Everyone retreat beyond a hundred li,” Dongfang Li bellowed.

The entire Qianniu Taoist Court was almost destroyed.

However, with the existence of the Dao Source, it seemed like any destruction could be restored.

A punch came directly at her, like a cannonball, reaching Xu Zimei at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Xu Zimei resisted the punch head-on, and both figures distorted in the void.

The Space-Time Profound Meaning continuously erupted.

The whole world was stirred up; apart from the sun above, which remained unharmed, nothing else could exist in the vicinity.

“You’re not there yet,” Xu Zimei exclaimed.

Her body was engulfed in surging Demonic Qi, with whirlwinds perpetually spinning inside her.

Shaking Heaven Power erupted bit by bit.

“Is that so,” Great Emperor Funiu chuckled.

At that moment, an equally Heaven Shaking Demonic Qi burst forth around him.

The Demonic Qi rolled in, completely annihilating the void.

After soaring into the sky, it merged with the Demonic Qi surrounding Xu Zimei as if they shared the same origin.

“This is,” Xu Zimei knit her brows slightly.

“Are you also of the Demon Race?”

Unfortunately, that was not right; she did not sense any Demonic Qi from Great Emperor Funiu.

“Though everyone despises the Demonic, sometimes this power is truly desirable,” Great Emperor Funiu said with a smile.

He launched a punch, and a fierce explosion spread between them, and their figures began to separate.

At that moment, the Demon Heart that had disappeared from Xu Zimei’s sight was once again sensed.

Her eyes sharply turned towards Great Emperor Funiu.

The ‘thump, thump, thump’ of its beating sound drew closer and closer, as if it were right under her nose.

“You’ve merged with my Demon Heart,” Xu Zimei said in astonishment.

“It seems you’ve discovered,” replied Great Emperor Funiu.

“I thought the people of the Holy Court disdained us,” Xu Zimei responded.

“I’m not from the Holy Court; I merely received their favor,” the Great Emperor Funiu explained again.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. You shouldn’t have merged with that Demon Heart,” Xu Zimei said.

“I know I shouldn’t have,” the Great Emperor Funiu replied.

“But the power was laid out before me, and after guarding it for countless years, I ultimately couldn’t resist.”

Under the influence of the Demon Heart, the Great Emperor Funiu began to transform.

His heart seemed like the core of his body, his blood turned black, and a Demonic Qi faintly radiated from his eyes.

“How is it?” the Great Emperor Funiu asked.

The original Azure Ox had transformed into a black ox, like an unparalleled Bull Demon, bellowing “moo moo.”

Xu Zimei smiled, took out Tyrant Shadow, and made a cut on the palm of his hand.

Fresh blood turned into a line of blood, flowing from the center of his hand.

The blood flow became greater and greater, “whoosh whoosh” the sound of water rang out, and before long, the fresh blood actually flowed into a Blood River.

With a wave of Xu Zimei’s right hand, the Blood River came crashing down from the sky, sweeping toward the Great Emperor Funiu.

“What is this?” the Great Emperor Funiu shouted.

“Demon Blood,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“You have a Demon Heart, right? I’m just giving you a little present.”

The Great Emperor Funiu tried to escape the encirclement of Demon Blood, only to find out all of a sudden that he couldn’t move.

The Demon Heart inside his body seemed to have been summoned and stopped beating.

All the organs and meridians infected by the Demon Heart fell eerily silent at this moment.

The Great Emperor Funiu felt completely immobilized.

He struggled and, besides his head, the rest of his body began to move uncontrollably.

“What exactly have you done?” the Great Emperor Funiu asked.

He felt that even his source of Tao had been infected by the Demonic Qi; the Qianniu Taoist Court existed because of this source.

The Immortal Trees and Divine Beasts that were originally there began to mutate.

One by one, they were bursting with Demonic Qi.

“You say you’re not courting death? Even the people of the Demon Race can’t withstand the Demon Heart, let alone a human like you,” Xu Zimei said.

He slowly approached the Great Emperor Funiu and reached out directly, pulling the heart out from his chest.

Looking at the Demon Heart in his hand.

This red and black heart began to beat again.

Filled with evil and monstrosity.

“I was wondering why I couldn’t feel the existence of the Demon Heart, and why you could swallow my Demon Heart and not die. Turns out it was sealed,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

What kind of existence was the previous Demon Lord, even if he was one of the beings at the pinnacle of this world.

How could a Great Emperor possibly swallow the Demon Heart.

Furthermore, how could the Holy Hall rest easy allowing the Great Emperor Funiu to guard the Demon Heart alone?

“Cultivation is not easy. Becoming a Great Emperor must also be full of hardships,” Xu Zimei said.

“What do you want to do?” the Great Emperor Funiu asked.

“I have two friends. Let’s allow them to cultivate in the Qianniu Taoist Court,” Xu Zimei replied.

“Is it that simple?” the Great Emperor Funiu asked, surprised.

“My enemies were never you from the beginning. You’re not worthy,” Xu Zimei shook his head as he replied.

He looked at the Demon Heart in his hand, as the power of the Sealing on its surface was circulating continuously.

It was as if there was a membrane of separation blocking his Demonic Qi.

He looked at the Sealing and punched down hard.

With a “boom,” the Sealing remained intact, which seemed to activate the Sealing.

A beam of light shone from the Sealing.

Xu Zimei felt something and looked up at the Firmament above.

In the place illuminated by the light, the Demonic Qi was dispersed, and the clouds began to part.

A scene was projected above their heads.

Numerous figures wearing golden robes appeared upon the Firmament.
