Chapter 588 Selling My Future Son-in-Law for One Face, I, Styx, Withdraw!
Chen Changsheng stood there simply, holding the God-Slaying Spear. He was alone with just the spear, yet he seemed to be an insurmountable chasm, separating everyone from the greed for the Eastern Emperor Bell.
The murderous aura emanating from the gun was icy cold, seemingly capable of freezing one's soul, causing all the powerful figures present to feel a chill in their hearts.
Guang Chengzi's face drained of all color, his lips trembled, and he tried to say something but couldn't utter a single word.
He could feel Chen Changsheng's cold gaze locked onto him, and the sharpness of the black spear tip made his brow ache, his primordial spirit sounding an alarm.
He had no doubt that if he uttered just one more word, the weapon capable of piercing through a quasi-saint would pierce his skull in the next second.
The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
He stared intently at the God-Slaying Spear, his mind in turmoil.
The weapon of the Demon Ancestor Rahu!
This is a treasure that even a saint could fight against.
crazy!
The Jie Sect has gone mad!
Those demon race saints were forced to retreat repeatedly by the killing intent. Even their powerful physical bodies felt fear in the face of this pure killing intent.
Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, ready to explode at any moment.
The Styx Ancestor, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved.
He sheathed the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords that were hovering beside him, and the light from the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Lotus beneath his feet also dimmed.
He glanced at Chen Changsheng, then at the ashen-faced Yu Ding Zhenren from the Chan Sect, and suddenly let out a hoarse laugh.
"That's enough, that's enough."
The Styx Ancestor shook his head, his voice indifferent, yet clearly resonating throughout the entire space.
"This treasure is wonderful, but it is not meant for me. I, your ancestor, do not wish for it."
After saying that, he actually turned around, took a step, and his blood-red figure disappeared at the entrance of the passage, decisively withdrawing from the competition.
This scene stunned everyone.
Who is the Styx Ancestor?
That was a notorious villain in the primordial world, a top expert among quasi-saints, whose blood sea never dries up and whose Styx River never dies. He was always lawless and only cared about profit.
How could he back down just because of a few threats from Chen Changsheng?
This is unreasonable!
Guang Chengzi and the others were completely baffled, but Chen Changsheng understood perfectly.
He knew that the Styx Ancestor wasn't afraid of him, but rather giving face to his brother-in-law, Yang Jian.
More accurately, it's about giving face to the future son-in-law.
Yang Jian's marriage to the daughter of the Styx River is the natural order of things.
An ancient monster like the Styx Ancestor, who has lived for countless years, could naturally glimpse a trace of heavenly secrets.
He was Yang Jian's brother-in-law, so they were relatives.
By taking a step back, the Styx Ancestor can avoid a deadly battle with himself, a madman wielding a god-slaying spear, and also do his future son-in-law's family a favor. Why not?
"You're smart to know what's good for you," Chen Changsheng thought to himself with a cold snort.
The retreat of the River Styx was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, shattering the fragile standoff.
Guang Chengzi was both shocked and furious to see that even the strongest Styx had left.
What was astonishing was that Chen Changsheng's power of intimidation was so great that even the Styx Ancestor took the initiative to retreat.
What angered them was that this meant their Chan Sect had even less hope.
No! Absolutely not!
If he were to leave in such a disgraceful manner today, what would become of Guang Chengzi's reputation and the reputation of the Chan Sect?
He was severely punished by his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, for losing at the Peach Banquet last time. If he returns empty-handed again this time, he might not be able to hold onto his position as the eldest disciple!
A crazy idea rose from the bottom of his heart.
Fellow Daoists!
Guang Chengzi suddenly turned to Maitreya Buddha and the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, shouting in a shrill voice, "Are you all willing to watch such a supreme treasure fall into the hands of this boy alone?"
"Who does Chen Changsheng think he is? He's just arrogant because he has the backing of the Jie Sect and a few powerful magic weapons. He doesn't take any of us seriously!"
"If we back down today, won't he take advantage of us all in the future?"
"The Styx Ancestor is cowardly and afraid of trouble; that's his own choice! Should we, the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and our fellow Daoists of the Demon Clan, follow his example?"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. Pointing at Chen Changsheng, he roared, "No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person! If we join forces, are we afraid of him?"
"If we join forces and suppress him, we can then discuss the ownership of the Eastern Emperor Bell! It's better than him taking it all for himself!"
Guang Chengzi's words were highly inflammatory.
Maitreya Buddha was initially hesitant, but when he heard "suppress him, then discuss ownership," his eyes visibly brightened.
Yes, regardless of who ultimately gets it, we need to clear away the biggest obstacle first.
Chen Changsheng is a real pain.
Those demon race saints were even more excited by what they heard.
"That's right! Guang Chengzi is right!" roared the Ox-Headed Great Sage. "This is our Demon Emperor's sacred object! It must not fall into the hands of outsiders! We'll fight him to the death!"
"Let's give it our all!"
Immediately, public sentiment was agitated.
Under Guang Chengzi's instigation, the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the Demon Clan actually formed a temporary alliance.
Powerful auras rose up once more, intertwining and transforming into an overwhelming pressure that pressed down fiercely on Chen Changsheng.
"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"
Chen Changsheng looked at this group of people who were blinded by greed, and instead of being angry, he laughed.
What he was really thinking was, "Finally, no more nonsense. I'm just waiting for you to make your move."
"Since you've chosen to die, don't blame me!"
"Let's do it!"
Seeing this, Guang Chengzi knew there was no room for maneuver, so he was the first to make a move!
The replica of the Pangu Banner above his head once again burst forth with dazzling light, and thousands of chaotic sword energies condensed into a sword light that could open up the world, tearing through the chaos and slashing straight at Chen Changsheng's face!
"Amitabha!"
Maitreya Buddha also made his move at the same time. He raised the string of prayer beads in his hand, which transformed into a golden Mount Sumeru, carrying the power to suppress the three thousand worlds, and smashed down on him!
"Avenge the Demon Emperor!"
The great demon saints roared in unison, unleashing their various innate supernatural abilities and demon clan secret techniques, transforming into a dazzling torrent of energy that swept across the sky!
In an instant, the entire chaotic space was filled with violent energy.
The combined attack of dozens of Grand Luo Golden Immortals and several Quasi-Saint level experts was powerful enough to change the color of the heavens and earth and dim the light of the sun and moon!
However, faced with this devastating siege...
Chen Changsheng simply stood still, without moving an inch.
He even put away the God-Slaying Spear.
He simply raised his head, looking at the barrage of attacks, his eyes filled with disdain and pity.
"With such meager skills, you dare to try and steal treasure?"
"Today, I'll show you what despair truly means."
The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly raised both hands upwards!
