Chapter 2708 - 1245: Demon Path of the West Continent (Part 2)
Chapter 2708 - 1245: Demon Path of the West Continent (Part 2)
"Don’t be fooled by his cultivation level only being at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, aside from being the Jie’e Sect Hierarch of this generation, he has another identity." These words from the Central Demon Lord caused True Lord Tianling to furrow his brows and once again look at the youth standing on the stone bridge, with hands clasped behind his back.
Gradually, True Lord Tianling seemed to notice something peculiar, his face showing a look of astonishment.
"What is your relationship with Tu Ming?"
Because demonic cultivation techniques are always imbued with sinister Yin Qi, True Lord Tianling hadn’t initially noticed the youth’s aura. Now that he looked closely, he could perceive that what surrounded him was the purest Huangquan Yin Qi from the Netherworld.
"I am Tu Ming." The youth answered calmly.
Upon hearing this, True Lord Tianling gave a slight nod: "Then indeed you are qualified, and it must be you."
"Let’s begin then..." The Central Demon Lord smiled and was about to speak further when his expression suddenly changed, looking up towards the direction of the West Continent.
"What’s the matter?" Tu Ming couldn’t help but ask seeing his reaction.
"An incarnation has encountered trouble." As the Central Demon Lord spoke, a wisp of black smoke flew out from the back of his head, transforming into an eye that pierced through tens of thousands of miles of void, attaching itself to a burly man struggling amidst the lightning.
Five Elements Sect.
Tianlan Treasure Map.
Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
With a slight turn of his mind, the Central Demon Lord already understood everything from the depths of this incarnation’s Sea of Consciousness.
Just as he was about to take some action, the void before his eyes suddenly split open, and an incomparably wide sleeve resembling a sky-covering garment descended from above. While intercepting his Heavenly Thunder Escape, it enveloped him.
The Central Demon Lord, seeing this scene and recalling the memories he just extracted from Chi Lei, knew it was the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor performing a great method from afar to capture him.
[Has Pure Wind and Little Thunder Immortal already been defeated?]
In the Central Demon Lord’s perspective, Chen Mobai’s impunity on the West Continent’s land could only mean that the Divinity Transformation cultivators from the two Great Holy Lands of the West Continent had lost.
While pondering, he directly dissipated all demonic Qi in this incarnation, then erased from Chi Lei’s memory everything related to the Hua Shen Demon Sect. The Heart Demon birthed from various desires directly fell into slumber in the deepest part of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.
After doing all this, Chi Lei, without any resistance, was enveloped and captured from afar by Chen Mobai’s wide sleeve.
West Continent Port.
After Chen Mobai cleared up the misunderstanding with Pure Wind True Monarch, he didn’t go for the kill against Little Thunder Immortal. After all, Ye Qing had specifically reminded him to hold back before coming.
However, when facing Chi Lei, the Apocalypse Great Mill within his body did react, and the one that lit up was exactly the same as when it did for Du Mengyun.
Supreme Heart Demon.
Besides Chi Lei, Sun Qingxue, who was turned to ash by Little Thunder Immortal, also triggered a response.
It’s a Great Tao among the Three Thousand Demon Paths, known as the "Gou Li Heavenly Demon."
This is the legacy of the Fractured Demon Sect, among the Eighteen Sects of the Demon Path, and at its highest level, one can possess an Undying Body. Of course, it’s due to the Fractured Demon Sect’s technique only allowing one to reach the Undying Body that this is the case.
Anyone who can enter the Three Thousand Demon Paths, as long as the Great Tao is not occupied, has the potential to reach the Seventh Rank.
However, in the Tianhe Realm, it’s unlikely there exists such high-level demonic path legacies.
And to Chen Mobai, this Gou Li Heavenly Demon is essentially irrelevant.
What he truly focused on was the Supreme Heart Demon Magic of the Hua Shen Demon Sect that Chi Lei harbored.
Did he cultivate it himself and develop a heart demon, or was he favored and enticed to fall by a master of the Hua Shen Demon Sect?
Could it be an incarnation of the Central Demon Lord?
And was Little Thunder Immortal aware of this?
With a wave of the Pure Yang Immortal Robe’s sleeve, Chi Lei, who had fled thousands of miles away, was swiftly captured by Chen Mobai.
Chi Lei only felt everything turn dark before his eyes, and when he saw light again, he saw his master, Little Thunder Immortal—whom he revered as a deity—pierced through the chest by a sword scar, his face pale, coughing up fresh blood continuously.
Master has been defeated!
Though he had long heard that the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor was the pinnacle God-Transcending cultivator in the Tianhe Realm, in Chi Lei’s view, his master’s physique had already reached the Fifth Rank Superior Grade. Even when facing Pure Wind True Monarch, without using the Sixth Rank Artifact, he could still exchange hundreds of moves.
And now it seems that the powerful physique of the Master was easily broken by this Sword Cultivator, the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
"Friend, please proceed."
After Chen Mobai captured Chi Lei, he spoke to Pure Wind True Monarch, who nodded, took out an ordinary Pure Bamboo, and tapped it on Chi Lei’s forehead.
When the Hua Shen Demon Sect rampaged through the Five Continents and Four Seas, only the core disciples of the Pure Palace were not possessed by the Supreme Heart Demon.
Because Pure Bamboo naturally restrains Heart Demons.
As expected, after being tapped, Chi Lei suddenly had a twisted expression, with veins bulging all over his body, his eyes turning crimson, and his Nascent Soul rushed out of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, erupting with booming thunder claps.
"Indeed, already deeply afflicted by a Heart Demon..."
Seeing this scene, Pure Wind True Monarch couldn’t help but shake his head, raised the Pure Bamboo in his hand, ready to send Chi Lei into reincarnation.
But Little Thunder Immortal suddenly stood in front of Chi Lei, coughed and extended his right hand, scattering most of Chi Lei’s Nascent Soul and suppressing the rampaging True Qi of Thunder.
"Brother Dao, if you let emotions control you, to maintain the good name of the Western Continent’s Righteous Path, I might have to take action against you as well."
Seeing this, Pure Wind True Monarch couldn’t help but have a cold expression.
Today’s incident was the audacious move of the Western Continent’s four fiends, attempting to ambush the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect.
When the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor intervened, according to the rules of the Immortal Cultivation World, the side at fault should deal with its own members, and that would have been the end of it.
However, because Sun Qingxue and Chi Lei practiced Demonic Cultivation, small punishments were insufficient. But just kill them, and the Western Continent’s Righteous Path could still salvage its reputation. However, Little Thunder Immortal’s repeated obstructions had made Pure Wind True Monarch a bit angry.
[The simple matter of killing two people, yet it wants to make me lose face.]
Frowning, Pure Wind True Monarch opened the Carefree Heavenly Travel Fan in his hand.
Little Thunder Immortal sighed and said, "Let me handle it personally."
Hearing this, Pure Wind True Monarch looked at Chen Mobai, who remained silent, allowing the two God-Transcending cultivators of the Western Continent to handle the matter.
"Did you cultivate demonic techniques and refine the Heart Demon yourself, or was the Heart Demon implanted by someone?" Little Thunder Immortal asked Chi Lei.
The conflict between the Central Demon Lord and Taixu Immortal over the duel of righteousness and evil spread across the Five Continents and Four Seas, so upon discovering traces of a Heart Demon, his and Pure Wind True Monarch’s first reaction was to consider whether Chi Lei had been possessed by this number one figure of the Demon Path?
"Disciple was overwhelmed by Heart Demons. To avoid going insane, I had no choice but to cultivate demonic techniques and refine the Heart Demon." In the presence of Little Thunder Immortal, Chi Lei answered based on his memory.
Little Thunder Immortal: "Where did the demonic techniques come from?"
Chi Lei: "Sun Qingxue of the Pure Palace and I excavated them from the site of an ancient Demon Sect."
Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at Pure Wind True Monarch, who also widened his eyes.
[How does this concern the Pure Palace?]
Understanding the situation, Pure Wind True Monarch was also infuriated. As a top-tier God-Transcending cultivator, he had long delegated all the ceremonies and mundane tasks to his disciples, focusing solely on ascendance. So he was unaware of the practices of Demonic Cultivation within the palace.
"Unfortunate for the sect, I’ll change the Sect Leader upon return." Pure Wind True Monarch said apologetically to Chen Mobai.
"Even the Generation Emperor cannot control the thoughts of all cultivators, let alone us God-Transcending cultivators." Chen Mobai expressed his understanding. Even the Immortal Gates had people like Lin Daoming, let alone the Holy Land of the Tianhe Realm.
At this moment, Little Thunder Immortal had also finished his questioning. Chi Lei’s memory had been altered without his knowledge, and his Heart Demon had long been refined by the Central Demon Lord, becoming a beacon for possession. Therefore, he was calm, indicating he had accidentally strayed into the wrong path, practicing demonic techniques.
But as long as the practice of demonic techniques was confirmed, Little Thunder Immortal wouldn’t plead for him anymore. Regardless, as a Righteous Path force, if the cultivation of demonic techniques was exposed, it was definitely punishable by execution.
Moreover, it involved Heart Demon Magic.
"Alas!" Little Thunder Immortal sighed and directly placed a palm on Chi Lei’s forehead.
Chi Lei’s Nascent Soul was instantly annihilated, his life extinguished, and his path vanished.
"You two, having sworn brotherhood with practitioners of demonic techniques, will go as well."
Seeing Little Thunder Immortal kill Chi Lei, Pure Wind True Monarch nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the other two members of the Western Continent’s four fiends, knocking the Pure Bamboo in his hand in mid-air twice.
The two Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t even utter pleas for mercy before their heads shattered like watermelons hitting the ground.
Seeing this, although Little Thunder Immortal had lifted his hand, he swallowed the lingering grievance back into his heart.
