Purple Marquis had always thought that he was the one who benefited the most from this battle.
He would use the Pantheon of Demons to crush the feudal lords, eliminate the Dongfang Royal Family, and ascend to the throne of the Emperor, overlooking the world and standing at the peak.
When the day came for him to ascend to the throne, the resources under his control would be no small matter, and he would have many bargaining chips to exchange with the Divine Sects and Sacred Grounds. It was another matter if he would still regard the Pantheon of Demons as the national religion and respect the Sect Leader as the leader as the leader as he had promised.
Although the Pantheon of Demons was powerful, it was still a demon force after all, and was regarded as an enemy by the human orthodoxies.
Moreover, its strength was much weaker than the Divine Sects of the Sacred Grounds.
When the time came, he could use the conflict between humans and demons to persuade the leaders of the Divine Sects of the Sacred Grounds to kill the Pantheon of Demons. It would not be difficult.
However, he did not expect Demon Emperor Han Guang to be his mortal enemy, Dongfang Jie.
He was just a troublemaker used by Dongfang Jie.
When the birds are gone, the bow is put away, and the hound is cooked. Purple Marquis certainly understood this. The day he overthrew the Dongfang Royal Family was also the day he died!
This already made him extremely sad.
However, what made him feel even more sorrowful was Jiang Tian's strength. He was unexpectedly strong!
Purple Marquis had also realized how powerful Jiang Tian was, which was why he chose to assassinate Lin Hanqing and destroy the Zhenyuan Hou family first.
He wanted Jiang Tian to become a duckweed without any backing, and then he would gather enough strength to kill him.
However, he had never imagined that Jiang Tian, a rogue cultivator from outside the river who came from a remote and desolate place, would actually be powerful to such an extent!
The Pantheon of Demons had so many Soul Formation Grand Cultivators, who could be considered peerless giants, but none of them succeeded.
This kind of peerless killing situation was resolved by Jiang Tian.
"How can there be such a person in the human world? He must be the reincarnation of an Immortal! "
Purple Marquis sadly realized that he had chosen the wrong opponent. It was not that he had chosen the wrong Zhenyuan Hou, but that Zhenyuan Hou had Jiang Tian by his side.
If he had a chance to choose again, no matter how the Pantheon of Demons tried to bewitch him, he would never choose to start a bloodbath and eliminate Zhenyuan Hou. Among the marquises, he could already be considered powerful. His son, Zi Yunxiao's talent and cultivation were decent as well. Three generations of prosperity meant ten generations would not be a problem.
However, because of his ambition and his underestimation of the enemy, everything was lost.
At this moment, he didn't dare to continue fighting, because even a peerless giant like Niu Ben and an ancient monster like the Decimating Abyss weren't a match for Jiang Tian, so he was even less of a match. Stubbornly resisting would only lead to death. If he surrendered and begged for mercy with a sincere attitude, he might have a chance of survival.
"Haha, spare your life? Give me a reason! "
Jiang Tian sneered. He stepped into the void, his posture graceful and otherworldly. He approached Purple Marquis step by step as if he was taking a leisurely stroll. His aura was vast, majestic, and divine, causing Purple Marquis' heart to palpitate.
"I know everything about the Pantheon of Demons, including the troop arrangements, the traps, and the barriers, as well as the shortcomings of the Cultivation arts of the great demons. I only beg for Saint to spare my life. I am willing to tell you the truth. The Pantheon of Demons is the empire's mortal enemy, and Saint must eliminate it. I need this information … "
Seeing that Jiang Tian had no intention of letting him go, Purple Marquis pleaded, "I once went deep into the Critical Canyon and saw an ancient treasure that seemed to contain rare treasures. Only I know the route …"
His mind spun at lightning speed, and many thoughts came one after another.
He was extremely wealthy, and his cultivation resources were as vast as the sea, but they would soon be confiscated. Jiang Tian was completely at his mercy. Moreover, although Jiang Tian was at the Nascent Soul realm, he had the strength of a Void Return Saint. To be honest, although he had a lot of resources, none of them were useful to a Void Return Saint.
He had many cultivation manuals, many of which were even on par with the Imperial Family's Eastern Rising Purple Qi. However, for Jiang Tian to reach such a realm, his cultivation arts were probably of an even higher level, and he didn't care about these at all.
It was as if this was the only bargaining chip he had.
"You don't know as much as I do!"
Jiang Tian didn't say anything and slapped down with his palm.
This palm was like the palm of a Buddha. It was incomparably heavy, as if it could crush the world and destroy the stars.
In Purple Marquis's perception, the entire world was rapidly disappearing. Patches of darkness formed a pure black background. In the universe, only Jiang Tian, who stood tall like a Buddha, and that palm that seemed to fill the heavens and earth, was left.
"The palm formed a supreme domain that froze matter, vitality, laws, and even the Great Dao. I can't escape at all! "
"Sigh, it's all my fault for being blind!"
Purple Marquis wailed in his heart. In the eyes of everyone, he didn't struggle at all and just knelt on the spot. Even his physical body, God, and even his spirit were crushed by Jiang Tian's palm.
The space seemed to be as thin as a cicada's wing. Crystal clear broken bones flew everywhere, and divine blood filled with surging essence and vast laws surged in the sky. The fluctuations of laws shook heaven and earth, triggering bursts of thunder.
"The might of a Saint is unparalleled, we admit defeat!"
"Saint! We admire you! "
Many Marquises were so scared that they curled up and knelt on the ground like quails in the cold wind. Their faces were as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. Jiang Tian's palm just now was as easy as swatting a fly, but the mysteries it contained were endless and extremely profound. Even a Soul Formation Cultivator couldn't resist it.
"Ah! Oh my god! "
Marquis Shanshui wasn't far away. He only felt that his head and face were covered in blood and flesh and there was a faint burning feeling, which was caused by the remaining vitality and laws.
He touched his sticky hair and found an eyeball surrounded by laws and surging vitality. It was connected to meridians, flesh, and blood.
"I died so miserably!"
The eyeball blinked and emitted a vague sound, mournful and resentful.
Soul Formation Grand Cultivators were powerful; they could be reborn from a drop of blood and have billions of clones. This eyeball contained Purple Marquis's bloodline and Divine Soul, which gave birth to an angry spirit.
"Ah, oh my god! Ah! "
Marquis Shanshui was so scared that his eyes rolled back and he immediately fainted. His eyes rolled back and kept twitching as if he had been electrocuted. White foam came out of his mouth with a hint of green. He was so scared that his courage was gone.
"Ah!"
Jiang Tian had been bullied by Li Liudao many times in his previous life, so he hated the Marquis Shanshui's family.
But then, Li Liudao's power was destroyed and Marquis Shanshui was so frightened. Jiang Tian suddenly felt relieved, or rather, he didn't want to argue with Marquis Shanshui anymore. It was like when you went back to kindergarten and faced the bully who bullied you in kindergarten, you would only find it funny, but not arouse hatred.
Marquis Shanshui didn't know that he had avoided a disaster in a flash by passing out.
"Go to hell!"
The next moment, Jiang Tian looked away and thought.
Instantly, strands of Law of Annihilation began to spread along Purple Marquis's body inch by inch. Even his broken bones, divine blood, and even fragments of his soul were all burned to ashes, completely vanishing from this world and turning into nothingness.
One of the top ten cultivators of the empire, Shen Hegu, the Marquis of Purple Marquis, was dead!
"Saint, we surrender!"
Purple Marquis's army collapsed. Many Golden Core Warriors knelt in the sky and didn't have the slightest intention to resist.
"Dad!"
Then, a scream came from the army.
It was Purple Marquis's son. Zi Yunxiao saw his father completely die and screamed.
"Jiang Siqing, if I return to the peak, I swear I'll kill you!"
