Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1033 Chi You? Dao Fruit Awakening?
"Restraint." Chi You chuckled as he sensed the power in Baihu Jianbing Shenjun's sword strike.

"When it comes to killing, the most taboo thing is restraint!"

Seeing the sword strike from the White Tiger Guardian God, Chi You, who had only made a feint with his palm, suddenly produced a long saber in his hand.

It was his personal weapon, the Tiger Soul Blade!

During his years in the Blood Maple Forest, he not only restored his body, but also found his Tiger Soul Blade—or more accurately, the Tiger Soul Blade found him!

"The essence of killing and warfare is the means of struggle."

"The struggle itself is not for the sake of struggle, but for the sake of victory."

"It was for plunder."

"After the battle, everything your opponent owns will belong to you!"

Chi You shouted loudly, showing no mercy because the person in front of him was a junior. He went all out from the start.

The moment the Tiger Soul Blade appeared, the sword in the hand of the White Tiger Supervisor God Lord exploded.

"Do you see it!"

"This is true ruthlessness—going all out and leaving no room for retreat."

"restraint?"

"Who are you trying to impress with your restraint?"

Will your enemy care about your restraint?

Will he be moved by your restraint?

"will not!"

"He'll just think you're being stupid!"

Even now, I think you're being stupid!

"Are you showing me restraint because you look down on me, or are you just too arrogant to see your own limitations?"

The killing intent in the light of the Tiger Soul Blade was completely undisguised.

"The essence of warfare has never been in words."

"You want to change the definition of killing and ruthlessness, and you want me to accept your definition of killing and ruthlessness."

"It's very simple."

"Come, defeat me!"

Hearing Chi You's words, the White Tiger Supervisor God hadn't said anything yet, but the gods who had been forcibly brought in by Chi You were already terrified.

How could someone who has achieved the Taiyi level be without insight?

How could they not see what kind of scene this was?
This is a struggle over the principles!

Chi You from ancient times, now the White Tiger Guardian God.

These two beings, who jointly wield the Way of Slaughter and Brutality between heaven and earth, clash over their differing understandings of slaughter and brutality!
Unlike other paths—other paths may still have the possibility of being proven—this is different.

But the way of killing and warfare is the way that hangs above weapons and spears.

That is the way that must be practiced with blood.

The conflict arising from such a path can only end in killing.

—Just like the disputes between military strategists.

The distinction between right and wrong lies solely in the outcome of the killing.

The winner is right, the loser is wrong!

At this moment, they were already caught up in this struggle over the Dao.

Chi You and the White Tiger Supervisor God.

These two are terrifyingly powerful individuals who simultaneously wield the art of killing.

One is an unconventional immortal being, so powerful that even the combined forces of the Great Luo Immortals could not suppress it.

The other is the innate divine metal that attained enlightenment, a natural, unconventional form of indestructible metal.

The battle between these two men, the struggle between them that arose from their desire to kill each other, could be described as a conflict in which neither could actually kill the other.

Such killings and battles are clearly meaningless in their ideological disputes.

Therefore, Chi You chose a different approach.

Props competition.

These deities who were imprisoned were merely tools in the battle between Chi You and the White Tiger Supervisor God.

Chi You chose to kill.

The White Tiger Guardian God chose to protect.

If Chi You were to kill them in front of the White Tiger Supervisor God, then the White Tiger Supervisor God would be considered to have lost this battle.

The one who wielded power and defined the act of killing was still Chi You.

Conversely, if Chi You had failed to kill these immortals in front of the White Tiger Supervisor God, then the White Tiger Supervisor God would have won this battle of righteousness.

That proves that the White Tiger Guardian God is more skilled in killing and has a better understanding of killing than Chi You.

In this way, Chi You would naturally acknowledge the White Tiger Supervisor God's understanding of killing and warfare.

This also means that the White Tiger Guardian God has completed the unification of killing and warfare, and has completed the definition and rewriting of killing and warfare.

The path of killing and conquest thus arises.

At this time, he will also reap the fruits of his killing and achieve the Great Luo.

The moment they realized this, these imprisoned deities were at a loss for words to describe their feelings.

To say they regret it... the Dao competition before the Great Luo was indeed an unprecedented opportunity for them, the Taiyi.

Even a mere opportunity to observe would draw a swarm of Taiyi cultivators...

And their treatment at this time is far more than just being bystanders.

That has already become part of this struggle for the Dao!

It is an indispensable part of that fruit!

Such an opportunity is truly extraordinary!

Even those great immortals who wish to draw inferences from one instance to another would seek the opportunity to 'test the law with their own bodies' in the face of such a chance.

But if I were to say I don't regret it...

He only wanted to sneak a peek, but he was inexplicably caught up in the situation and became a tool for these two supreme Dao Lords to define the Great Dao—his own life was now hanging in the balance between victory and defeat in this battle for the Dao.

Who could be happy or calm if something like this happened to them?

Who can be willing?

Who can be grateful for morality?

The cultivation of these immortals was already extremely difficult... Who could withstand this sudden calamity?
But what terrified these gods the most was another change.

That was the most fundamental source of power within their immortal path—the foundation of their divine nature. But as Chi You raised his hand, these immortals seemed to have transformed into a part of Chi You's system of slaughter.

Their power has already been used by Chi You.

When Chi You's Tiger Soul Blade slashed down with an incredibly brutal and savage manner, the power within their bodies also transformed into that Tiger Soul Blade, surging forth from their internal organs, their limbs, their souls, and their spirits, to dismember them.

They clearly possessed their own power, and even at this moment, they could still 'mobilize' their own power—yet this power was still controlled by Chi You.

Consequently, they were all being controlled by Chi You.

Their minds were focused on the White Tiger Supervisor God, their eyes wide open, their minds expansive, watching this battle with all their might, while also praying for the White Tiger Supervisor God's victory.

Their existence seemed to divide the world in two during this struggle for power.

Their reason and consciousness sided with the White Tiger Pancake God, praying for the victory of the White Tiger Military Supervisor God.

But their instincts, their bodies, and even their power sided with Chi You, wanting to destroy them—to turn their existence into the slaughter that followed Chi You, into a wisp of light within the Tiger Soul Blade.

The swords were merely clashing, not yet touching, but the lingering resonance of their struggle already seemed poised to crush everything.

The lingering influence of that path spread outwards from this true Blood Maple Forest.

The immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons gathered around the gate at the edge of the blood maple forest listened to the second clash of swords and felt the lingering Dao energy emanating from it. Their eyes changed.

"We can't hesitate any longer."

The Arhat Subduing Tiger stepped forward, "The real Blood Maple Land has already been taken by someone before us."

"This Daoist rhyme is proof enough—if we hesitate any longer and remain deadlocked, then the greatest fortune in this Blood Maple Forest will be taken away by someone else!"

"Is this the secret of Chi You?" The Lion Camel King also took a step forward.

"No wonder Chi You's existence could not be erased even by the Great Luo."

"It turns out that although he was just a mortal, he was connected to the power of the Dao Fruit."

"No, it's not that the power of the Dao Fruit is connected to him, but rather that his very existence is equivalent to a Dao Fruit!"

"This is the source of his immortality—the Dao is still there, so how could the Dao Fruit be killed or obliterated?"

"No wonder that in that mythical era, in that age of great strife, humanity and the human race ultimately chose Xuanyuan, who was not so adept at killing, rather than Chiyou, who was extremely adept at killing and whose very being symbolized killing!"

"So Chi You wasn't human at all, much less an ordinary person!"

"He is a Dao Fruit that has awakened spiritual intelligence!"

"He's a demon!"

"A demon of the Dao Fruit!"

Sensing the Daoist rhythm, and feeling the traces of the Dao Fruit within it—the Lion Camel King made an extremely absurd judgment without hesitation.

Of course, his judgment was extremely unusual and outrageous.

However, his unwavering and confident demeanor led all the other immortals and Buddhas astray.

What is a demon?
All things in nature are created, and those with spirits are called demons.

This was the original Demon Emperor's definition of the demon race—under this definition, innate saints and sages were all included in the demon race.

Even humans are beings with spirits, and they are all members of the demon race!
In the understanding of the demon race, anything in the world can be made to gain sentience and become a demon.

Flowers, birds, insects, and fish are acceptable.

Grass, trees, bamboo, and rocks are acceptable.

All kinds of weapons, armor, spiritual objects, magical artifacts... are acceptable.

Following this logic, all sorts of elixirs and magical treasures could be imbued with sentience and transformed into demon gods.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for a Dao Fruit to awaken sentience and transform into a demon god.

At that moment, everyone present believed in the Lion Camel King's judgment.

In particular, the King of Nanshan and the Wolf Spirit had complete trust in the Lion Camel King's judgment.

"As expected of Pantian, which holds countless secrets!"

"Can this fruit awaken sentience and transform into a demon god?"

"After that, when we fight against Pan Tian, ​​wouldn't our Dao Fruits also be affected by Pan Tian and develop their own sentience?" The two avatars of the extraterrestrial powerhouses felt a chill in their hearts.

“Great Sage, it is the most difficult for spiritual beings to attain enlightenment—their greatest tribulation is being coveted and refined by others.”

"Was that commotion of swords clashing just now an attempt by someone to refine the demon god Chi You?"

Amidst the intense chill, the King of Nanshan suddenly uttered this question.

Upon hearing this question, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Then came uncontrollable daydreams.

Chi You's strength was indeed extremely terrifying—but in any case, he was ultimately not a Great Luo!

There has always been a formidable barrier between it and Da Luo.

It is comparable to Ronaldo, but not the real Ronaldo!

So... since he is not the Great Luo, it means that he may be defeated by them.

This means that Chi You's 'Dao Fruit' may indeed be refined again!
What does it mean to refine a Dao Fruit?
Doesn't that mean becoming the Great Ronaldo?
In that instant, everyone's eyes changed!
After all, the Blood Maple Forest was just a tremendous opportunity and a stroke of luck.

It's something that would be exciting to obtain, but even if we don't get it, it won't be a big loss for anyone.

But now... Chi You is a Dao Fruit that has become a spirit; he himself is a Dao Fruit, yet he doesn't possess the great power of a Great Luo Immortal... He can be refined like those ginseng-like beings and sesame-like horses...

The opportunity within this Blood Maple Forest is a real one, a chance that can allow someone to ascend to the Great Luo realm in one step!
Yes, it was a matter of chance, not opportunity!
Given such an opportunity, who can back down? Who is willing to back down?
Especially now, with the sound of swords clashing coming for the second time—a sign that someone is refining the 'Chi You Dao Fruit'—who could sit still?

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk is the Arhat who subdues tigers in Buddhism!"

"Our Buddhist sect has been favored by the Human Emperor, who has granted us the destiny of great prosperity!"

"Your Majesty Chi You, although you have attained enlightenment through the Dao, you still deserve the respect of the human race."

"I, the Tiger-Taming Arhat, am here; how can I allow you to refine Chi You!"

"Hey you inside, stop right now!"

With a shout, the Arhat Subduing Tiger stepped directly into the doorway, heading towards the depths of the human realm.

In that instant, the Arhat Subduing Tiger also considered many more possibilities.

—That is another possibility besides Chi You's attainment of spiritual enlightenment through the Dao Fruit.

Is it possible that Chi You actually died under this long seal, and that the 'Chi You' in the Blood Maple Forest today is not the real Chi You?

Rather, it was the millennia-long worship of Chi You by the human race that manifested and unified within the human realm, thus giving rise to the present 'Chi You of the Dao Fruit'.

Compared to the possibility suggested by the Lion Camel King, the Tiger-Taming Arhat believed that his current conjecture was more in line with the human race's situation and more in line with the current circumstances—a 'fake Chi You' who had stolen Chi You's name would undoubtedly be more easily 'accepted' by the Human Emperor, and more easily suppressed and refined by them, without having to worry about being attacked by the human race!
In the blink of an eye, the Tiger-Taming Arhat had already made a decision.

That must be the situation in the Blood Maple Forest!

It is not Chi You from the mythical era who has lived to this day.

It was not as the Lion Camel King described, that the Dao Fruit gave rise to sentience.

Instead, in this land of humanity, there is a demon that has secretly stolen the human race's sacrifices to Chi You and then usurped Chi You's title!
It was at this moment that two tiger roars rang out in that humane place.
