“But now, I can’t afford to be wounded, as there are more old brats out there waiting for me to take them down.”
He moved back to the edge of the fire ocean and cast out the emerald leaf. The Demon Queen who was fighting with Tian Mo Concubine was alerted and she leapt out of the battlefield. The other demon concubines and court ladies followed behind her, and the crowd of ladies flew back to the emerald leaf.
Demon Saint turned his head and smiled, he said to Zhong Yue, “You are a time-worthy opponent, I’ll settle the other old men and come back to you later.”
Tian Mo Concubine, Saint Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the other twenty-some court ladies went over to Zhong Yue and looked at the Demon Saint, Demon Queen, and the others.
Zhong Yue smiled and said, “Demon Saint, I know what you are planning, but what makes you think that everything will go as planned? You don’t want to be hurt, and I also have my own concerns. However, the time will come, very soon, when we will be able to go all out in battle!”
The Demon Saint stepped onto the emerald leaf stem and they disappeared into the fire ocean.
Tian Mo Concubine quickly asked, “How was the battle? Do you think you can defeat Demon…” Her beautiful countenance suddenly turned pallid and blood trickled out from her mouth. She was injured when battling with the Demon Queen, but she was an iron lady who didn’t want to look weak in front of her enemy and forcibly suppressed the wounds.
Even though her ranking among the eight demon concubines was lower than Saint Concubine, her prowess was in fact the strongest among the eight. She had given her best in the battle with the Demon Queen, but the Demon Queen’s prowess had greatly improved ever since she followed the Demon Saint and thus, Tian Mo Concubine was wounded.
Zhong Yue watched as the Demon Saint left, he shook his head and said, “I can’t defeat him, yet.”
Tian Mo Concubine attended to her wounds and looked at the godly charm before him. Lights flashed across her eyes and she said, “You still have this godly charm. If you go all out, do you think you can win?”
“This godly charm was only used to frighten him.” Zhong Yue laughed and he kept the godly charm, he said, “This godly charm is a just a charm meant to seal items away. If used to fight with experts like Demon Saint, it’s still not sufficient. At most, he will have to burn one Demon God Blood Charm to counter this godly charm and he can always take out a second Demon God Blood Charm. At that time, I will only die. However, he doesn’t know how many godly charms I have and thus, he decided to back down.”
The Demon God Blood Charms were able to bestow upon the Demon Saint the prowess of a demon god. They were incredibly precious and even Demon Saint didn’t have many of them. Hence, under the situation that he didn’t know how many godly charms Zhong Yue had, he wouldn’t go all out and waste all of his Demon God Blood Charms.
Tian Mo Concubine was dispirited and she mumbled lowly, “So Demon Saint is invincible…”
Zhong Yue strode forward, he said, “Invincible? No, he is not. Don’t you worry, I’ve promised you to take him down and so I will! Between the two of us, we will have a death battle, and I will kill him for sure!”
He was confident in the next battle.
The【Celestial Demon Yi】was able to fight against Demon Saint, and even though both suffered damage, it also meant that he had enough prowess to fight with a former demon god. This was the source of his confidence!
Demon Saint, a revived demon god, had a substantial amount of knowledge and experience that allowed him to be so strong and unstoppable. His past life as a demon god was his source of confidence and also the ceiling of his potential. In this life, he sought to break through his limit and be stronger than his past life. However, his past experiences and knowledge would be an invisible obstacle to him, as if he couldn’t jump out from his inertial thoughts from the past, he would never be able to take a further step.
Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was still young and relatively inexperienced. Compared to the gods, he was just like a newborn, a blank paper that was going to be drawn into a work of art. There were unlimited possibilities in his future. Whether he would be drawn into a random drawing, a common painting, a marvelous picture, or even an unworldly masterpiece was all unknown.
My【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】is still new and primitive, there is only one skill in it, which is the【Celestial Demon Yi】. With more skills being created from it and completing the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】to its peak form, this is the capital I have to face off against the former ancient demon god, Demon Saint!
Chapter 358: Unearthly Means |
Within the fiery blaze, after trying her best to suppress the injuries that she suffered from the battle with the Tian Mo Concubine, the now pale looking Demon Queen said, "When that Mo Luo fought you, he turned into a strange looking creature with a human head and a snake's body. This doesn't seem like a demon at all… Has my darling noticed anything about his origins?"
To her disappointment, the Demon Saint shook his head and said, "No idea, as far as I know, there is no such race in the Ancestral Star at all. However, in my previous life, I've seen statues that were similar to him in one of the ancient ruins. But those ruins have long since been. Thus, there isn't much information to go off of now. This Mo Luo's talent is quite rare indeed. I not sure if he's like me or if he has cultivated to this stage by himself. But if it is the latter, then his talent can only be described as terrifying."
The Demon Queen then replied softly, "Being someone not of the demon race and able to achieve the celestial demonic body ... he is a great threat to you and the demons…."
"Not really, he is not a great threat yet for he is still not strong enough. If I spread the news that Mo Luo is not a demon, then it will only be a matter of time before the strong demons on the outside swarm towards him to kill him. Besides, if I manage to execute my plan properly and complete the ritual, I will be unstoppable, and Mo Luo will die in the ritual so what need is there to worry about him?"
"Shura has been resurrected as spring so the old dogs from the eight saint clans will definitely not be able to sit still and let things slip out of their control. They will definitely resurrect themselves one by one to stop me from taking over the entire demon race again. However, little do they know that if my plans succeed, none of them will be able to win against me. Even if they are to return to their former peak state, they will still have to bow before me no matter what!"
Hearing that, Demon Queen looked at him with respect and admiration in, and she said happily, "We are one step ahead of them, and they have no idea about my darling's plan. If they knew of your plan, they would not have only planned to kill darling through Mo Luo; they would have poured every ounce of their effort into killing you."
"The power generated through sacrificing the eight magnate Qi Practitioners from the eight saint clans, the five elders from the dragons and Sha Qishan must be incredibly powerful. With this power, I should be able to kill the remnant of the Creator."
Demon Saint laughed and said, "After destroying the remnant of the Creator and using its power to destroy the heaven and earth altar, I will be able to absorb the remaining power of the altar! I will be able to create a triple ritual by sacrificing Qi Practitioners, the remnant of the Creator, and the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm!"
The Demon Saint planned to sacrifice the Qi Practitioners, the remnant of the Creator, and the secret realm to obtain the immense power that would allow him to return to his peak form during his previous life!
And with the secret realm being sacrificed, everyone in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm would definitely be destroyed along with it. Thus, Zhong Yue might be able to fight Demon Saint face to face, but he would not stand a chance against the destruction of the secret realm!
Similar to those that were sacrificed, Zhong Yue would not be able to do anything against the Demon Saint's plan.
Hence, this was why the despite acknowledging Zhong Yue's monstrous capabiliti
es, he remained unperturbed.
“Time to look for someone to be sacrificed!”
The Demon Saint then said, "The blood talismans I left behind in the previous life will be able to kill the 14 magnate Qi Practitioners."
The jade green leaf flew past a crushed plant, out of the fiery blaze and in front of them. The magnate Qi Practitioner from Tian Xiang Saint Clan suddenly stopped running, and when he looked at Demon Saint, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Demon Saint, I am willing to be your subordinate. I will not betray you no matter what for all of eternally! How about that?"
At the same time, Zhong Yue and the ladies were still searching around for any precious items, and after gaining quite a generous amount of profit, Zhong Yue stopped looting, and he proceeded to carefully examine and refine his 【Celestial Demonic Tai Chi Art】.
He had gained quite a lot from the fight with Demon Saint. As someone who was crowned a saint and was a strong Qi Practitioner who had existed long ago on this planet, the Demon Saint's battle prowess stood at the peak of the world. Zhong Yue had learned a lot from observing how Demon Saint battled.
However, it was also extremely difficult for Zhong Yue to improve himself any further; despite trying his very best, he only managed to create the【Celestial Demonic Tai Chi Art】. If he wanted to create any other arts, it would be very difficult.
I will have to keep learning more and more to increase my knowledge so that I could achieve more….
Zhong Yue looked very serious as his Fu Xi true form transformation could only last for a short while, and his【Celestial Demonic Tai Chi Art】consisted of just one move, making it risky to fight against someone as strong as Demon Saint!
Meanwhile, the Ji Xiang Concubine and the other court ladies looked at Zhong Yue with slight fear in their eyes as although the battle between Zhong Yue and Demon Saint was swift, Zhong Yue's moves had exposed the fact that he was not a demon. This greatly worried the girls.
“Trying to simplify everything is not that easy, there is another level above your current level which focuses on this aspect," said Xin Huo calmly.
"Another level?" Zhong Yue was stunned at what Xin Huo said as he very much anticipated reaching that level since only those who were on par with someone like the Creator was able to create something out of nothing with their psyche.
However, he was not even able to reach the level of simplification, not to mention the level Xin Huo had just mentioned.
Zhong Yue then thought, This Innate Heavenly Demon is also a Creator. Although the galaxy he created was much smaller than the real one, it was incredibly realistic, and perhaps if he were strong enough, he might have even created a real sun over here….
He then shook his head and thought to himself again, The Innate Heavenly Demon was also born by this world so how could he be able to create a world that created them?
Soon, he gave up thinking about this as everything on that particular level was beyond his understanding and capability.
Suddenly, another strong aura erupted, and when Zhong Yue looked towards that direction with his divine third eye, his heart thumped quickly.
He saw that the demonic priest had activated a Demonic God Blood Talisman, which granted him immense power and he fought against the magnate Qi Practitioner from the Ji Xiang Saint Clan. In almost a blink of an eye, the demonic priest had immobilized, seized and thrown the magnate Qi Practitioner into a container and sealed him with overwhelming strength!
There goes another one!
Zhong Yue put up a solemn expression as he started to analyze the Demons Saint's motive, "Is the Demon Saint trying to capture and sacrifice them to the remnant of the Creator to obtain the Creator's heritage?"
"Probably. But he will definitely attract the attention of those from the eight saint clans if he targets their people!" said Saint Concubine who was standing beside him.
Zhong Yue nodded as he agreed to what the Saint Concubine said as the eight saint clans did not touch Demon Saint because they respected him. Besides, whoever killed Demon Saint would be deemed a traitor, and everyone would be free to kill that person or clan in the name of justice.
And if Demon Saint sacrificed the people of the eight saint clans, then he would be standing on the opposite side of justice, giving the eight saint clans a valid reason to kill him!
"Even so, he is sealing them in order to sacrifice them. He seemed unafraid of the eight saint clans' retaliation. He must be relying on something, but what is it?" Zhong Yue frowned as he thought about the question in his mind.
The girls were also frowning in thought as they were clueless as to what the Demon Saint's hidden card was.
Suddenly, another terrifying aura erupted as another magnate Qi Practitioner fell victim to the Demon Saint. This had caused a major tremble within the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
There were not many demons in the secret realm, but those that entered this secret realm were elites from their clans. Their shock at seeing the Demon Saint seal away three magnate Qi Practitioners could be imagined!
Somewhere far away, the heaven shattered, and the earth trembled as four magnate Qi Practitioners gathered together and prepared to fend off the Demon Saint.
Booom——-
The four magnate Qi Practitioners squeezed out every morsel of their strength and unleashed
a tremendous power that blew away the stars in the skies. They then charged towards Demon Saint.
"Four magnate Qi Practitioners against Demon Saint ... this fight must be very interesting!" The girls surrounding Zhong Yue were excited at the prospect of watching a show.
Tian Mo Concubine then suggested, "This battle will surely attract the dragon race's magnate Qi Practitioner and Sha Qishan. The remaining magnate Qi Practitioner will definitely ambush the Demon Saint somewhere around there! Let us go and run interference!"
Zhong Yue nodded and said, "Alright, let's go! Let's see what he is relying on to dare to go head-to-head against these magnates!"
Despite being enemies with the Demon Saint, Zhong Yue secretly admired his fearlessness for fighting against all of these magnate Qi Practitioners at once. When the five elders of the dragons left the Eastern Sea, they all brought along the godly weapon of their race, and with the godly weapon, they were able to continue their pursuit of Sha Qishan even in the land of the demons, where all demons were extremely hostile towards them.
In his point of view, he did not believe that the Demon Saint would be able to wipe out the five dragon elders!
Surrounded by the girls, Zhong Yue flew towards the scene of the battle, and on his way, he saw many demons, that had also noticed what was going on, heading towards the same direction as them.
"The Demon Saint has sealed the entire secret realm, no one can get out!" said a Heavenly Dharma level elder of the Luo Shan Clan when Tian Mo Concubine stopped him.
He then said, "This dog is planning something big, instead of giving us a big fortune, he is trying to take our lives! This old man has been searching for any possible exits, but I have yet to find any. Previously, an elder from the Ashura Clan tried to get out from the black spring, but he was torn into pieces by the totem carving pieces in the black spring. Just follow me and watch how I kill the Demon Saint!"
However, Zhong Yue, Tian Mo Concubine, and the others did not take his words seriously. After a moment, when they all got close to the scene, they stopped somewhere a hundred miles away from the battlefield.
"We have to kill Demon Saint!" said an Ashura Clan's elder when he saw the Saint Concubine. As he flew towards her, he turned happy upon seeing the elder from Luo Sha Clan. He quickly said, "We will look for a good time to strike when the Demon Saint is fighting with the four magnate Qi Practitioners!"
"Mister Shura, over here," shouted Zhong Yue as he waved towards Shura.
Shura, Xiu Hongsuo, and the others hesitated for a moment when they heard Zhong Yue's shout, and they walked towards him while Shura said softly, "Any more moves up your sleeves, Mister
Mo Luo? The situation is not very good right now!"
Chapter 359: Triad Ritual (1/3) |
The two Heavenly Dharma elders saw the Shura experts' arrival, and they quickly stepped forward to welcome the Shura elder. They laughed and said, "Another Heavenly Dharma fellow cultivator, the odds of killing the Demon Saint are now greater!"
Zhong Yue and Shura exchanged looks and saw the absurdities in their eyes. Even the magnates couldn't contend against the Demon Saint, let alone the Heavenly Dharma giants?
Zhong Yue mumbled softly, "Mister Shura, did you not tell them what the Demon Saint has in his hands?"
Shura shook his head and answered, "I'm just a small figure, do you think they would listen to me even if I told them?" Clearly, the Heavenly Dharma elders have absolutely no idea about his true identity and were only regarded as a junior cultivator.
“There are only three ways to leave the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm. One, killing Demon Saint, acquire the Demon God Blood Charm and open the secret realm. Two, connect with the Creator’s scattered spirit and request him to let us go. And the third, ….”
Zhong Yue looked at the black spring waters, and he said, "Leave from these black spring waters. However, these black spring waters are composed of the Creator's broken totem patterns, strong and unearthly. The Raksha elder said that an expert died there…."
"That expert is an idiot from my Shura Saint Clan."
Shura said helplessly, "Just now, an idiot elder of the Shura Saint Clan tried to get out from there and was killed right on the spot. I've told him not to, but my words were ignored. The level of stupidity in this little shit is way too high that no words can penetrate his obstinate mind."
He couldn't help but feel helpless. The highly revered Shura Demon God has revived, and yet, he didn't come back as a mighty one, but a junior cultivator who was always lectured by his descendants. What a shame it was. He had not spoken a word about his resurrection as he wanted to avoid the betrayal of his descendants. Hence, his resurrection was done in the dark, smoothly and quietly, and with no fanfare. As of right now, he was just an ordinary Shura disciple.
