Chapter 524: Two Faces And A Cracked Demon God
Above the massive sky.
Two powerful and threatening figures could be seen moving. The unleashed residual powers from each wave and kick would cause rivers to dry up and disintegrate many other things into dust.
Qi kept coming through from every direction—making the surrounding spaces twisted as the terrifying Immortal Qi turned into a boiling ocean.
They were shocked as the world was several times more powerful than the Eldritch World. In the past, they had to move into the Chaos for a fight.
The earlier destruction they caused would have destroyed the previous Eldritch World. They would have flattened the world and caused space to collapse—destroying the world!
However, the space was still stable without any cracks despite the ground being destroyed. It was able to withstand the residual impact. Such resilient areas were very inviting for Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals to duel!
Hongjun waved it off and seriously said, “Luohou, calm down. I really don’t have anything to admit! In all honesty, I just woke up not too long ago, hence this has nothing to do with me.”
“Nonsense!” Luohou smiled coldly. He had seen through and groaned in a low voice, “Cultivator Hongjun, how could I not see through your tricks? This is all within your calculations! I shouldn’t have trusted you back then! Tell me! What did you do to turn the Eldritch World into this? What’s your plan?”
“Luohou, you should know that I can’t possibly do this.” Hongjun frowned. He too was feeling bitter and shocked as he helplessly said, “Furthermore…I used my body as the Path, so I’ve now been separated from the Heavens when I woke up…”
Who could he complain to?
He was also a victim!
All of them mysteriously fell asleep back then just like Luohou. It was normal for them to sleep for a few years since it was nothing in comparison to their lifespan. Who would have thought the world had transgressed with such massive changes by the time they awakened!
Perhaps the Eldritch World had been going through some unusual evolutions that placed them to sleep!
Luohou was furious and groaned in a low voice, “I don’t care! You promised me back then to cast my demons as the main characters of the world! You and I will share the Eldritch World and seek the Truth! When I woke up earlier, I realized my demons aren’t stronger but are being bullied instead! You have to give me an explanation!”
“Casting the demons as main characters?”
A suspicious voice was heard as Daji and the other five gradually appeared in mid-air and concurrently looked at Luohou and Hongjun.
Daji scoffed coldly, “The Absolute Era was your plan?”
Luohou and Hongjun were shocked as they looked with a glint in their eyes at the group of people.
“Jade Emperor, Jade Empress, and Nuwa? All of you here?”
Hongjun’s pupils dilated as he looked at their group in shock.
At that moment, Nuwa was no longer releasing the Qi of a Saint but a…Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!
The Jade Emperor and Jade Empress had become a lot stronger! Both of them were close to becoming Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!
On the other hand, Yun Shu and the other two’s Qi were shocking!
T-this…
He was dumbfounded.
He was secretly joyful when he initially woke up and noticed the world’s changes.
It was because he thought he was still the most powerful being in the world. The current changes in the Eldritch World were beneficial for him and he should be able to enjoy everything with his strength.
However, it was unexpected that he ended up being surrounded by a group of powerful beings including those he once knew…
It did not feel good at all!
Luohou was just as shocked as Hongjun and felt heavy-hearted.
In truth, he came to Hongjun not only for revenge since the demons were merely his tools. The crux was that their world had changed with way more opportunities than before!
Even though he wanted to take revenge on Hongjun, his true purpose was to monopolize more opportunities by getting Hongjun to stay away!
However…everything was not going according to plan as there were other characters involved…
Hongjun asked Nuwa, “What’s the matter?”
The Jade Emperor beside her asked, “Daozu, why don’t you answer Immortal Daji’s question first?”
Meanwhile, he signaled to Daozu with a look.
Hongjun dared not to waste any time and said after a moment, “We did intend to bring about the Absolute Era. However, we did not have a choice as I’ve used my body as the path and merged with it, hence it would be beneficial for me if the world weaken…”
Therefore, Hongjun had been leading the Eldritch World according to his plan by secretly cultivating and developing Saints—trying to fill up the void in the world.
However, he did not expect Luohou—who lost to him—had not died back then. Instead, he had stayed hidden in the Bloody Sea and waited for his recovery to make a comeback!
Furthermore, he was unwilling to compromise that time round!
He would leak the Eldritch World’s location if Hongjun refused to share the world with him to the Chaos. Many figures would then approach that world and attempt to take over it!
Therefore, Hongjun had no choice and did not step in when Luohou destroyed Buddhism.
Luohou cultivated the Killing Path and wanted to use demons to kill all humans upon the Absolute Era’s arrival. Once that was completed, he could then upgrade his power.
Luohou scoffed coldly from feeling insecure and wanted to leave, “Damn! You make it sound good, that you and your path merge into one while all you wanted was to use the Law Pangu left behind to upgrade your power! I don’t want to stay here anymore since we don’t get along from cultivating different paths.”
Daji’s face remained expressionless and said in a calm voice, “Master doesn’t like demons. Don’t go yet since we’ve just met!” Her white gown fluttered in the air as her figure vanished from the spot and reappeared before Louhou with a single step.
“Haha, there are many who don’t like demons! Who can stop me from going where I want in this world?” Luohou laughed wildly as wild killing intent lashed out from his eyes. He then growled, “You may be powerful but you don’t have the right to stop me yet! Get out of my sight!”
His weapons flashed with a glint in the dark as terrifying Qi gathered into a long black dragon and stabbed toward Daji as he spoke!
Daji raised her hand as ice crystals gathered in front of her and formed an ice wall.
Crack!
The long spear penetrated the wall as ice fragments shattered and flew outward in all directions with the spear’s sharp edge pointing at Daji’s face.
Daji remained in the same spot with her emotionless beautiful eyes.
Such calmness further irritated Luohou. His pupils dilated as his killing intent reached its peak to the extent that even the wind was growling.
“You’re asking for death! My Godly Killing Spear is meant for killing! Nobody can stop it! You are overestimating yourself from having that ice wall!” Luohou was furious as he gathered his full power and increased his strength!
The energy he lashed out turned into a whirlwind and collided with the mountain behind Daji into nothingness. The surrounding hundred miles of terrain had been flattened!
However, her ice wall was still able to block such unimaginable power—disallowing it to pierce through!
Regardless of Luohou’s attempts at using his full strength, his power was blocked by that wall and he could not even penetrate it!
The God Killing Spear’s tip was soon covered with a layer of frost without him realizing it.
How could that be!?
Luohou’s eyes widened while his heart shivered from complete helplessness. A sense of powerlessness was overwhelming him.
Crack!
More layers of frost spread on his spear.
Luohou quickly reacted and did not hesitate to let go of the God Killing Spear before turning around to escape.
“You can’t escape since I’ve said so!” Daji’s eyes were cold as she gently raised her delicate hand. The frosty spear suddenly turned around and pointed at Luohou as though it received an order.
The long frosted spear shot out according to her finger pointing!
It left behind a trail of beautiful but terrifying frost.
One could feel that terrifying sense of power. Luohou’s face changed and he felt an itch in his scalp. He could only retaliate with spells since his Rank Twelve Deluxe Merit Black Lotus had gone missing alongside the Lord Demon!
The long spear moved forward and penetrated through his spell with an unstoppable Qi!
On the other side, Fire Phoenix was getting impatient and flexed her red wings behind her. Her body turned into a fiery flame before she vanished.
The crowd felt dumbfounded as flames suddenly appeared in Luohou’s stomach by the time they reacted!
A layer of flame rose from his body as he groaned. In the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned into ashes and evaporated.
Hongjun stared with widened eyes as he watched the entire event right in front of him and cautiously gasped.
Had Luohou just evaporated in just three breaths?
Luohou and himself were not unfamiliar with the strength of Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals as they had refined their paths for countless years. Even though Daji and Fire Phoenix had joined forces, it was still very terrifying.
They could kill him as well since they could kill Luohou!
Hongjun’s face turned green and shivered.
The Jade Emperor and Jade Empress could not help smiling upon seeing Hognjun’s reaction—finding it amusing.
‘Daozu had not expected this, eh?’
It was just Luohou. He had not seen Lord Dog fight yet. A single paw of his could crush more than 10 Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals to death as though it was merely playing!
Hongjun shivered and smiled, “Jade Emperor and Jade Empress, why don’t you introduce me to these two super powerful and beautiful Immortals?”
“They’re Immortal Daji and Immortal Fire Phoenix.” Jade Emperor paused before continuing, “The Eldritch World’s changes were caused by their husband.”
Hongjun was very shocked. However, it did not stop him from bootlicking as he opened his mouth and said, “I knew it! There must be an expert behind who elevated the Eldritch World! We not only survived the catastrophe but even gained a lot from it! These two Immortals’ husband is so awesome! It’s so magical! Please allow me to express my admiration to your husband.”
He raised his hands with a solemn face as he sincerely bowed at Daji and Fire Phoenix.
Thereafter he continued, “Both of you have my admiration for being so powerful and done a great favor by killing someone like Luohou. Please allow me to worship you!”
He bowed again after speaking.
Jade Emperor, Jade Empress, and Nuwa were all rendered speechless.
Hongjun had always placed himself high above the rest as the mysterious and well-respected Daozu. He had remained that way for countless years and never behaved as such.
Damn it! Who would have thought he was such a good bootlicker!
So, it seems that Daozu’s true nature was such.
Everyone had two faces and behind their reputable public image was merely a bootlicker…
The essence of the world was bootlicking each other.
At the same time.
In another part of the world…
Lord Demon led the demons to wait for their Demon God’s return.
They were filled with anticipation and could almost see their bright future calling out to them.
Suddenly, the Demon God’s statue cracked.
It cracked…
The crowd stared blankly and could not believe the sight. They rubbed their eyes in unison and looked again…
A burning flame exploded from a crack in his heart.
“The Demon God is…dead?”
“It’s… It’s not possible?”
Damn it!
Such an abrupt death was worse than their previous Lord Demon!
The demons must have been targeted! Such a way of dying was too unreasonable! Nothing was going smoothly since the beginning.
No, that was not the only issue as everything had been progressing wrongly!
How could they live on?
Lord Demon collapsed. “This world is too dangerous. It’s too difficult…for demons!”
“No, I need to start hiding!”
