Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

"That's true, but I've been planning for them for many years. Even if I haven't done anything great, I've certainly put in a lot of effort. How could they just sit by and watch me get killed?"

"It's impossible to resurrect all the Chaos Gods to save me. But it's not a problem if only one or two risk their lives to resurrect and save me."

Facing the Great Black Heaven Demon God's mockery, the Demon Ancestor calmly retorted. Ultimately, he had still rendered meritorious service to the Chaos Demon God. The fact that the demonic path had become what it was now, reduced to a tool for the Chaos Demon God's resurrection, was entirely due to his efforts.

Even for the sake of this matter, the other Chaos Gods would not abandon him no matter what, and would do everything they could to save him if he were in danger.

Otherwise, who would dare to serve the Chaos Demon God in the future? If you do a good job, there's no benefit; if you do a bad job, you'll be discarded. Who wouldn't feel disheartened?

Therefore, the Demon Ancestor was confident that the other Chaos Demon Gods would not abandon him to his death.

Even if those fallen Chaos Gods can't help, surely Yang Mei, who is still alive, can't find an opportunity to save him?

It was precisely because Yang Mei was there to back him up that the Demon Ancestor was so confident. That was Yang Mei, the strongest existing Chaos Demon God, and also a powerful figure in the Primordial World and Chaos.

Even Hongjun Daozu, the number one person in the primordial world, was far from being his match without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

With such allies around, why should the Demon Ancestor panic? It's his opponents who should be panicking!
“That makes sense, but since we dared to come, how could we not have been prepared for this? To tell you the truth, we were prepared to never return before we came.”

"Our Dao fruits are all entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. Once we die, we will immediately merge with the Heavenly Dao."

"At that time, we will certainly become puppets of the Heavenly Dao and lose our freedom forever, but those Chaos Demons who hide in the dark and see us as vessels will not have a good end either."

"The Heavenly Dao could use us as coordinates to pinpoint the location of those Chaos Gods, forcibly incorporate their remaining true spirits into our bodies, and then devour them."

"Do you really think that just because they're dead, Heaven can't do anything to them? That's a joke. With us here, Heaven can pinpoint their location whether or not these Chaos Gods have been resurrected."

"Demon Ancestor, this is what it means to be trapped in one's own web. If you didn't regard us as vessels for the Chaos Demon Gods, how could we have established contact with them, thus giving the Heavenly Dao the opportunity to lock onto and even devour them through us?"

Ketu the Demon God sneered, clearly having made thorough preparations. They also knew that, given their current situation, they were utterly powerless against the Chaos Demon God's attempt to possess them.

Therefore, if this matter is not resolved, no matter how much of an advantage they have when they besiege the Demon Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor can immediately turn the tide by having the corresponding Chaos Demon God possess them.

With this in mind, how could they rashly attack the Demon Ancestor without being fully prepared? That would be suicide!

Their solution was simple: the Chaos God wanted to possess them, so they would create a situation where the Chaos God wouldn't dare to possess them.

So how can we prevent the Chaos Gods from possessing our bodies? The answer is simple: they should all connect with the Heavenly Dao.

If we were to ask who the Chaos Gods fear most in the primordial world, it would undoubtedly be the Heavenly Dao. No matter what it is, as long as it's related to the Heavenly Dao, the Chaos Gods dare not touch it.

Therefore, as long as they are also related to the Heavenly Dao, the Chaos Demon God not only dares not possess them, but also keeps them at a distance, and even has to be controlled by them.

They are now the best resurrection vessels for the Chaos Demon God, and are inextricably linked to him.

This situation, for them, only brings harm and no benefit, leaving them constantly controlled by the Chaos God and unable to break free.

But for the Heavenly Dao, this connection only brings benefits and no harm.

With these connections, the Heavenly Dao can pinpoint the location of those Chaos Gods and then devour them without waiting for them to revive.

Therefore, for the Chaos Demon God, this move is a devastating weapon; once unleashed, it will surely subdue them. If they dare to possess another's body and wish to perish together, then so be it.

It was precisely because they possessed this powerful weapon that these demonic cultivators dared to surround and kill the Demon Ancestor.

Of course, while this weapon is powerful, it requires sacrificing oneself to activate it. One must kill oneself before one can kill the enemy.

Once they align themselves with the Heavenly Dao, they are no longer themselves. It's no different from being possessed by the Chaos Demon God; the only difference is that they went from being controlled by the Chaos Demon God to being controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, these powerful demonic cultivators would never have unleashed this deadly weapon. Their actions in besieging the Demon Ancestor demonstrate that they did not wish to die; they wanted to live.

Therefore, given even the slightest chance, they would not choose to perish together with the Chaos God. Of course, if the Chaos God did not give them that chance, they would not mind perishing together.

After all, being subject to the will of Heaven is better than being subject to the chaotic demons. The will of Heaven is just, and as long as they act in accordance with Heaven, there are basically no problems.

However, being controlled by the Chaos God, given the Chaos God's nature, it would inevitably squeeze every last drop of value from them and then completely devour them.

"you……"

Now it was the Demon Ancestor's turn to be caught off guard. He hadn't expected that this group of powerful demons would be so resolute, completely determined to perish together with the Chaos Demon God.

If they do it this way, he'll be the one being controlled and won't dare to do anything reckless.

The reason is simple: in the eyes of the Demon Ancestor, the life of the Chaos Demon God is definitely more precious than the lives of these powerful demons. To perish together with them would be a huge loss.

With such thoughts in mind, the Demon Ancestor was naturally taken advantage of.

"Stop beating around the bush and tell the truth. What exactly is your purpose in coming here to find me?"

"Don't say you're here to ambush me. If you really were here to ambush me, why waste so much time talking to me? Isn't this giving me a chance to recover?"

After a long silence, the Demon Ancestor spoke in a deep voice. The fact that everyone was willing to chat and joke with him instead of swarming him clearly indicated that they wanted something from him.

The claim that they came to surround and kill him was just a pretext. If they really wanted to kill him, they wouldn't give him a chance to speak. The fact that they made him speak meant there was still room for negotiation.

He was speechless. He thought his plan for the demonic path was foolproof. Even though everyone knew it was a trap, they were too deep to resist and could only accept their fate.

But to his utter surprise, he had greatly underestimated the wisdom of the crowd. It's true that people can always find a way; even in a seemingly hopeless situation, they could always find a new path.

They devised this method of using the Heavenly Dao to force the Chaos Demon God to his doom, leaving him helpless and forced to admit defeat.

“If the Demon Ancestor wants to hear the truth, then let’s speak frankly.”

“We did intend to ambush and kill you, but your strength is undeniable. Even if we were to kill you in the end, we might not be able to survive your final counterattack.”

"None of us want to die, so we hope that the Demon Ancestor can cooperate and sacrifice half of his Great Dao Imprint to the Heavenly Dao."

"Or perhaps you could help us devise a plan to lure and kill a Chaos Demon God, so that we can sacrifice him to the Heavenly Dao in exchange for the Heavenly Dao's intervention to eliminate this threat to us." Seeing that the Demon Ancestor was willing to admit defeat, the Demon God Jidu and the others quickly put forward their demands.

As they said, they were still unwilling to fight the Demon Ancestor to the death. The casualties, regardless of success or failure, would be too great, and they couldn't accept that.

However, given the Demon Ancestor's past record, even if the solution were real, they dared not believe it.

In this predicament where they are blocked from both sides, the only way for them to solve the problem is to introduce an absolutely impartial third party, the Heavenly Dao.

If Heaven intervenes, it will surely resolve the hidden dangers they face and free them from their identity as resurrection vessels for the Chaos Demon God.

But getting the Heavenly Dao to intervene is easier said than done. Without sufficient benefits, the Heavenly Dao simply won't bother with them.

In this situation, they came up with a desperate measure: to sacrifice the Chaos God in order to force the Heavenly Dao to intervene.

For the Heavenly Dao, devouring the Chaos Demon God to replenish itself is the key to its future ascension to the Eternal Heaven and Earth. Therefore, it would never refuse such a benefit under any circumstances.

At this cost, they could certainly persuade the Heavenly Dao, but where could they find a Chaos Demon God? With their strength, working together, they could definitely hunt down a newly resurrected Chaos Demon God.

But the prerequisite for hunting the Chaos Gods is to find them first. If you can't even find them, how can you hunt them?

With this in mind, the demons couldn't help but turn their attention to the Demon Ancestor. If anyone was most likely to find the Chaos Demon God, it would definitely be him.

Even if he himself is a Chaos God, sacrificing him would be just as effective.

"Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Upon hearing the conditions offered by the demons, the Demon Ancestor refused without hesitation. To ask him to sacrifice half of his Great Dao Imprint was simply impossible.

What is the Great Dao Mark? It is his proof of being a Chaos Demon God, and also the key to his future breakthrough to the Eternal Realm. If he lacks even half of it, he will likely have no hope of ever reaching the Eternal Realm in this lifetime.

Even if it could be repaired, the cost would be so high that it would deter even the Demon Ancestor. Simply put, repairing the Great Dao Mark is even more difficult than resurrection.

How could the Demon Ancestor possibly agree to such a demanding request? It would be tantamount to making him ruin his own future.

As for helping the demons by luring and killing a Chaos God and making them sacrifice themselves, that's even more impossible.

If he dares to do that, it would be tantamount to cutting himself off from the Chaos God. Not only would the Primordial World want to kill him, but the Chaos God would also not let him go.

The price is so high, how could the Demon Ancestor possibly do it given his personality?

Therefore, the Demon Ancestor had no chance of meeting the conditions offered by the demons. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, there was nothing more to say; they could only fight to the death.

"kill!"

Without any explanation, the Demon Ancestor made his move immediately. With a wave of his hand, the four supreme sword intents of Execution, Trapping, Annihilation, and Slaughter emerged, transforming into countless sword lights that swept towards the demons.

The demons, however, were well-prepared for this, and even acted before the Demon Ancestor himself. Having known the Demon Ancestor for many years, they were well aware of his character and had been on guard against him for some time.

They even guessed beforehand that the Demon Ancestor would never agree to their conditions. But people always have a bit of wishful thinking, so they wanted to try their luck no matter what.

What if the Demon Ancestor agrees under pressure? How will we know if we don't try? After all, the cost of a life-or-death struggle is too high; it's best to avoid it if possible.

But now that the Demon Ancestor has taken the initiative, it's clear that negotiations are impossible, and all we can do is go all out.

"burst!"

The moment the great battle broke out, the Demon God Jidu gritted his teeth and directly detonated the companion spirit treasure, the Ji Arrow, that was stuck in the Demon Ancestor's body.

The Ketu Bow and Ketu Arrow are the accompanying spiritual treasures of the Ketu Demon God. Separately, they are both top-grade innate spiritual treasures; together, they are a supreme innate spiritual treasure.

And this was only the situation when they were first born. Now, after years of refinement by the Demon God Jidu, their level has been raised to the level of a half-step innate treasure, and their power is comparable to that of an innate treasure.

Or to put it another way, once the Demon God Jidu breaks through to the realm of Hunyuan, his companion spirit treasure will inevitably transform along with him and be promoted to a supreme innate treasure.

In other words, the Ketu Arrow can be regarded as part of the Ketu Demon God's Dao Fruit, as his Dao Fruit of achieving enlightenment through a weapon.

Now, in order to kill the Demon Ancestor, the Demon God Jidu is willing to self-destruct, which shows that he is really risking his life.

It should be understood that once this arrow is destroyed, the Dao Fruit of the Demon God Ketu will inevitably be damaged. Even if he eventually cultivates to become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he will be one or two levels lower than expected.

boom!
The Jidu Arrow self-destructed, unleashing a terrifying force that exploded centered on the Demon Ancestor's chest. Even his body, forged through countless trials and tribulations and said to be indestructible, was shattered by this terrifying power.

Along with his physical body, his primordial spirit and true soul also shattered instantly. The Demon Ancestor, already wounded, suffered another severe injury.

The Demon Ancestor was in a bad state, and so were the powerful demonic cultivators who opposed him. The four great sword lights swept in, and none of the demons could withstand them, suffering heavy injuries as well.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian were forged by the Demon Ancestor, and he is undoubtedly the most proficient in this art. With his strength, even without the four swords in hand, the power he unleashes would far surpass that of the four swords.

"kill!"

The demons forcefully suppressed their injuries, formed a demon-refining array, divided the void, and evolved into countless spaces, taking the Demon Ancestor's shattered physical body and primordial spirit into them, and quickly began to obliterate them.

At the same time, the demons joined forces to depose the Demon Ancestor from his position and forcibly seize the demonic fortune, using it to bless themselves instead of continuing to bless the Demon Ancestor.

The Demonic Path is still a supreme path on par with the Immortal Path. Even though it has declined now, its fortune should not be underestimated.

With its blessing, the demons could unleash combat power comparable to a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Conversely, with its blessing, the Demon Ancestor could even temporarily suppress his injuries and return to his peak.

Therefore, at the moment of the battle, everyone joined forces to seize the demonic destiny to prevent it from becoming an aid to the Demon Ancestor.

"Ah~~"

"You are looking for death!"

A furious roar rang out, and the Demon Ancestor, his physical body torn apart, reappeared. (End of Chapter)
