Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2043 - 1085: Finally Arrived

"Then I shall make the journey myself..."

Upon getting Tai Li’s response, the Bull Demon King let out a sigh.

Currently, the Demon Palace remains unopened, and with the Demon Saint Spear in slumber to save numerous Great Saints, he finds himself in command.

Regrettably, ties with his brother, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, have grown tense. In those days, piercing the heavens to rescue them placed a massive strain on him; had Monkey agreed to lead the Demon Clan, he’d undoubtedly serve as the Demon Empress’s top general, maybe even rising to a stature akin to the Demon Saint Lady someday...

In the realm of Creation, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven stands as the most exceptional being without question, Yuanshi Tianzun’s initial foray into subtraction that, at its zenith, truly neared the Other Shore and dared confront the Heavenly Emperor there.

In the fray at Lingshan, he alone shattered the skies, shielding every demon beneath the Jingu Bang.

One could argue that his benevolence toward the Demon Clan and his formidable might make him entirely suitable.

Yet, following those chain of incidents, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven hasn’t only suffered blows without full recovery—his spirit has dimmed as well.

"Demon Saint Lady couldn’t make it in time, likely obstructed by fellow Other Shore Tianyi, and her final meditation might stem from that. Monkey’s last summons to his master—he surely perceived it, alas..."

Such reflections left the Bull Demon King with a sense of profound loneliness.

As the mightiest figure, barely eligible for the Other Shore clashes, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven had detected the anomaly.

That plea to his master probably bypassed Golden Cicada, pointing instead toward the Buddhist Sect’s two saints.

Having emerged as the prime victor in the Three Pure Ones’ clash amid the Divine Enthronement strife, and later beholding the Lingshan Buddha attain Dao Fruit—despite Lingshan’s war against Demon Buddha turmoil—the Buddhist Sect’s roots stay alarmingly robust...

Harboring these contemplations, the Bull Demon King embarked personally toward the Divine Capital.

Unlike his past haughtiness, the Bull Demon King now seemed dulled, deeply dejected.

Still, regarding the God Sealing positions tied to Demon Clan benefits, he deemed it essential to press forward.

Viewing himself as a Creation Great Saint, he felt entitled to that position...

...

Construction on the God Sealing Platform continues fervently, as envoys from every corner infuse their faction’s wills directly into it—plain in appearance but carrying immense, silent significance.

Descending from boundless skies, the Bull Demon King halted outside the Divine Capital and beheld the God Sealing Platform ahead, infused with the might of all sentient beings.

Yet before he could voice his salutations, a gateway from the Human Dao Dynasty swung open, welcoming him inside.

Meng Qi stepped forward to greet the Bull Demon King.

"Well, Bull Demon King... good to see you alive."

Gazing upon the Bull Demon King, Meng Qi sensed a stark difference from his prior impressions.

He exuded an aura of somber antiquity.

"Legend..."

The Bull Demon King regarded Meng Qi, his gaze brimming with complex feelings.

At this point, Meng Qi’s general identity was known to most Creation-tier powerhouses.

Once, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven shared that very identity with Meng Qi.

But back then, the Three Pure Ones hadn’t grasped the path to joint transcendence, leading to their subtraction’s failure.

"Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, this way please."

Meng Qi clasped his hands toward the Bull Demon King.

"Appreciate the effort."

Guided by Meng Qi, the Bull Demon King reached the Turquoise Pool, where Tao Yu observed Daji’s mesmerizing performance.

The sight of Daji momentarily dazed the Bull Demon King, stirring memories of the Jade-faced Fox and evoking sharp wistfulness.

Confined inside the Jingu Bang for thousands of years, all his past loves had perished, leaving him with quiet melancholy.

"Greetings, Emperor."

The Bull Demon King had lived through the Human Emperor’s reign, seen that entity rend the firmament amid the Demon Clan’s golden age—a pinnacle human Other Shore.

Enemies though they were then, the Demon Clan revered the Human Emperor’s grandeur.

This successor to the Human Emperor possessed a distinct flair; spotting the alluring figure nearby suggested shared inclinations, lending him an even more approachable air.

"Take a seat."

Tao Yu motioned to the Bull Demon King before speaking.

"I’m aware of your aim. To me, the Demon Clan falls under my protection just like the rest, so the divine seats you merit won’t be denied."

"Tai Li has relayed Your Majesty’s intent to fold our Demon Clan into the Human Dao Dynasty. This... nonetheless demands the Demon Empress’s approval. Yet with the Demon Palace still concealed and Divine Enthronement looming, we’re at a loss on next steps."

The Bull Demon King upheld a respectful demeanor, this lofty Creation expert humbling himself without hesitation.

"The Demon Empress won’t object to this; safeguarding and consoling both clans suffices."

Through contact with the Demon Saint Spear, Tao Yu had confirmed the Demon Saint’s survival.

Almost duped by the Golden Emperor, Tao Yu realized that despite his elevated standing, wariness toward Other Shores remained crucial.

Since the Demon Saint endured without her passionate drive surfacing to aid the Demon Clan—while they chased Ananda—Tao Yu pondered deeper implications.

It could be that the Demon Emperor had initiated subtraction too, targeting the Demon Saint herself.

That said, the Demon Emperor’s deep bonds with both Demon and Human Clans—as Demon Emperor and Human Ancestor—meant that shielding them jointly through the ultimate calamity would aid her cause!
