However, regardless of how things turn out, what these Taoist Monarchs worry about is merely the future and doesn't truly affect their current situation.
The ones who need to be most concerned and perhaps most terrified right now are none other than the two Demon Monarchs of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil facing Pei Xuanjing directly.
"No, don't!"
A voice filled with despair echoed through the Chaos, fresh blood stained the Punishing Evil Demon Monarch, and for the first time, terror appeared on his face. The terrifying eyes, the cannibalistic gaze, and endless sorrow surfaced on his expression as the world crumbled. The toil and labour of countless years crashed in a single moment, an unbearable agony, with a trail of his own blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
For countless years, he had brought such terror to others, yet he never expected that this time he would be the one to endure such despair.
The other Rewarding Good Demon Monarch was equally shocked, as if he recalled some unpleasant memories. It was just like the time when the other party destroyed his own world, though the methods were different, the results were identical.
This inevitably led this Demon Monarch to doubt in his heart whether his choice this time was wrong if he should have ignored that person's seduction.
Seduction, indeed.
These two Taoist Monarchs came to the Divine Continent not just out of a desire for revenge but also due to being coaxed by someone else and receiving promises from them.
It was also because of that person that they learned about the transformative potential within the Divine Continent and were moved by it.
Yet until now, that person hasn't taken any action, which makes him wonder if he's been tricked.
However, he hasn't noticed that Pei Xuanjing's gaze isn't on them but rather behind them, into the Chaos World, as if awaiting something.
"Two Taoist Friends, we haven't seen each other for many years. Having come from afar, could it be that fear of drawing near makes you hesitate to reveal yourselves?" Just as the two Demon Monarchs of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil were about to strike again, Pei Xuanjing's voice reached their ears.
Their vast spiritual consciousnesses swept towards the direction Pei Xuanjing was looking, but found nothing.
As they began to believe he was bluffing, they saw Pei Xuanjing's hand move, and the Sanbao Jade Ruyi emitted tricolored Divine Light; the two Demon Monarchs' expressions changed drastically, as where there previously appeared nothing, two figures now flashed into view.
The situation immediately became more complex. Pei Xuanjing stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the revealed figures of the Heavenly Fox Demon God and the Peacock Demon. An inexplicable look appeared on his face,
"You've finally arrived!" The Punishing Evil Demon God wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and faced the two arrivals, his expression slightly awkward, and opened his mouth to say.
It was indeed the instigation by the Heavenly Fox Demon God and the Peacock Demon God that led them to discover the changes within the Divine Continent, realizing the immense potential contained here, and thus, they came.
However, they also did not expect to repeat past mistakes.
Therefore, the two began to suspect the intentions of the other, even though they appeared; the two Demon Monarchs of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil subtly shifted to another corner, forming a triangular standoff, which was the current scene.
"Heh, Pei Xuanjing, long time no see!" The Peacock Demon God, or rather Peacock Demon Monarch, stood with hands behind his back, with the same arrogant demeanor as before, a smile appeared on his face, though his eyes were full of killing intent, and he spoke.
The previous failure was a lifetime's disgrace to the proud Peacock Yao Army, a shame that would never be forgotten unless Pei Xuanjing was slain.
"Longevity Taoist Monarch, such an imposing presence! It has been many years, and you are even more splendid than before!" The Heavenly Fox Demon God, Heavenly Fox Demon Monarch, spoke charmingly and beguilingly, her soft words like a spring breeze, as if there were no enmity between them, just old friends who hadn't met for years.
"Peacock King! Heavenly Fox King! They have also become Taoist Monarchs!"
"Demon Race, the Demon Race has returned!"
"The Demon Race's return was a matter of time, although they failed in the past and fled to the Divine Continent, it doesn't mean the Demon Race lost its strength."
"Yes, in these ten thousand years, though there was no news of the Demon Race, as we grew stronger, surely the Demon Race didn't remain idle. Although they were defeated, within the Realms of Heavenly Seas, the Demon Race is still a powerful force."
"A defeated army is bound to win, leaving when strong is manageable, but fleeing after a great defeat surely unites them as one."
"The return of the Demon Race is inevitable, if we lost, likewise, we would always think of coming back."
"This time they return, with no friendly intentions!"
Among the many Taoist Monarchs of the Divine Land World, particularly those born locally within the Divine Continent, their expressions changed drastically.
When they saw the two Demon Monarchs of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil appear, they could ignore it, as it mainly concerned Pei Xuanjing, as long as it didn't harm the interests of the Divine Continent.
However, the appearance of the two Demon Gods from the Demon Race unsettled many Taoist Monarchs, making them eager to act.
The Demon Race is different from other races; the hatred between the human race and the Demon Race is insoluble. They cannot coexist; one side must suppress the other, just like during the Conferred God War.
This return of the Demon Race truly carries no good intentions, undoubtedly well-prepared and plotting for a long time.
Although the Demon Race is a defeated party, the human race would never underestimate any defeated foe, especially not the Demon Race. They truly have the power to overturn the status of the human race.
Great calamity looms, the Realms of Heavenly Seas are inherently full of plots, and now with the Demon Race's appearance, fears of increased intrigue and gloom loom as well.
"Are you two still capable of striking?" the Heavenly Fox Demon Monarch asked the two Demon Monarchs.
Indeed, she invited them, but she did not expect these renowned Taoist Monarchs from the Realms of Heavenly Seas to be so worthless, nearly being suppressed by Pei Xuanjing alone.
Although Pei Xuanjing is indeed formidable, despite their inability to match him, they shouldn't have lasted only this long, without even probing Pei Xuanjing's true trump card.
Even now, the Heavenly Fox Demon Monarch doesn't believe Pei Xuanjing has revealed his true trump card, which is why she and the Peacock Demon Monarch had not shown up before.
However, since the other party exposed their presence, and with these two Demon Monarchs of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil still having some value, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction, not showing any trace.
Garbage is merely misplaced resources, despite the two Demon Monarchs' fame being greatly exaggerated, their actual combat prowess poor, at this moment, the Heavenly Fox Demon Monarch couldn't help but pinch her nose to align with them.
At least by letting them be cannon fodder, their value is maximized.
The Demon Monarchs of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil eyed each other, Divine Light flashing within their eyes, intertwining hesitantly.
Although withdrawing now seemed the best option, especially as the Demon Race's two Taoist Monarchs appeared, drawing Pei Xuanjing's attention.
But they had invested too much in this, and withdrawing meant gaining nothing, completely losing the opportunity to seize transformation through the upcoming great calamity.
The two exchanged glances, finally setting their resolution, to gamble, as they still had contingencies, to withdraw now meant truly receiving nothing.
"It seems you have all colluded, and I am your common foe. I've waited long for your arrival, attack together!" Pei Xuanjing appeared unsurprised by the alliance between the two sides, speaking with a smile, without any qualms about four Taoist Monarchs joining forces against him.
The expression of astonishment surfaced on the face of the Heavenly Fox Demon Monarch, though she planned to use numbers to their advantage, she hadn't imagined Pei Xuanjing would be so direct.
After all, irrespective of circumstances, they were four Taoist Monarchs, with each Monarch being exceedingly proud, what Pei Xuanjing exhibited was not just disregard, but contempt.
