Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 603 Unexpected Fortune

The demons' method of dealing with the Demon Ancestor was very effective. If he could not recover his physical body in time, the flesh and blood fragments and the primordial spirit fragments that had been separated into endless worlds would truly be obliterated.

Even if he doesn't die by then, his strength will decline to the extreme, and he will fall from the realm of Hunyuan.

If he can't even maintain the combat power of the Hunyuan level, then what difference is there between him and a lamb to the slaughter in front of the demons? Wouldn't he be at their mercy?

Therefore, upon realizing that things were not going well, the Demon Ancestor held nothing back and immediately used forbidden techniques to forcefully suppress his injuries at all costs, allowing himself to briefly return to his peak condition.

With the combined forces of the demons, they could easily suppress the Demon Ancestor, who was already heavily injured. However, they were helpless against the Demon Ancestor who had returned to his peak.

The supreme power of the half-step Creation Realm erupted suddenly, sweeping across the entire primordial world in an instant.

Then, all the demons' supernatural powers failed, and the fragments of the Demon Ancestor's physical body and primordial spirit, which had been separated into endless worlds, returned to their places in an instant.

"Hold on!"

"He can't maintain this state for long. If he can hold on for a while longer, the damage he's been suppressing will explode."

"In addition, the backlash from forcibly using forbidden techniques will not only completely render him unable to fight, but will also cause his strength to drop below the Hunyuan level."

"Think about it, even if the Demon Ancestor below the Primordial Chaos level has many tricks up his sleeve, he can't possibly turn the world upside down in our hands."

With the Demon Ancestor's sudden outburst, the already unsure demons immediately became uneasy, and their morale began to plummet. Seeing this, the Demon God Jidu had no choice but to speak up to appease them, fearing that some might flee without a fight.

If everyone joins forces, even in the most critical situation, there is still a fighting chance. But if anyone runs away, causing morale to collapse, then everything is doomed. Every single person present will face the Demon Ancestor's retribution.

"Fellow Daoists, do not panic. Even if we are no match for them, it is nothing. With the outbreak of the Demon Ancestor, the Saints must have already received the news and are rushing here."

"No matter how strong the Demon Ancestor is, he is no match for the combined might of all the saints. With their help, we are certain to win this battle."

The Great Black Heaven Demon God also sensed that the situation was not good, so he also spoke to comfort him.

Sure enough, as the two spoke one after the other, the unease among the crowd immediately subsided.

Because what they said was true; the Demon Ancestor's current condition meant he couldn't afford to fight for long.

Similarly, because of his sudden outburst, his aura swept across the entire prehistoric world.

In this situation, not to mention saints, even those great masters in seclusion were awakened and released their divine senses to look at this place, wanting to find out what had happened.

The threat posed by the Demon Ancestor to the prehistoric world is self-evident. Once the Demon Ancestor's whereabouts are discovered, the saints of the Xuanmen and the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals will never let him go and will surely rush to the scene immediately to join forces to kill him.

So, just as the demon god Ketu said, if they could hold out for a while longer, victory would surely be theirs.

"Humph!"

"Killing you won't take much effort; one move will suffice."

The Demon Ancestor had obviously heard their conversation, and with a cold snort, he suddenly turned on everyone and attacked.

He meant one move, not to boast, but because he only had one chance to make a move. After that, regardless of the outcome, he would have to leave; otherwise, he would be trapped.

Because the sages of the Xuanmen sect and the Grand Luo Golden Immortals of Hunyuan could surround him at any time.

Even at his peak, when facing a combined attack from a Xuanmen Saint and a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he couldn't guarantee he could escape 100%, let alone in this state.

His current peak condition cannot be maintained for long, at most thirty breaths, before the forcibly suppressed injuries will fully erupt and become even more severe.

If his injuries flare up while he's surrounded by saints, things will get really messy. Even if Yang Mei arrives in time, she might not be able to save him.

In other words, he's doomed.

boom!
The four sword intents merged in the Demon Ancestor's hands, transforming into an extremely dazzling innate killing divine light, seemingly capable of annihilating all things in heaven and earth, shattering all the great Dao and rules, and sweeping mightily towards the demons.

Leaving aside what the demons thought upon seeing this, it is said that both the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Styx Ancestor were utterly shocked.

The Demon Ancestor's predecessor was the Slaughter Demon God, one of the Chaos Demon Gods, and he was the one who forged the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

From this supernatural power, the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that the Demon Ancestor's control over the Zhuxian Sword Intent was completely superior to his own.

Just watching his technique brought me many insights, which is why I was so impressed.

As for the Styx Ancestor, he cultivated the innate path of slaughter. From the Demon Ancestor's divine power, he saw a killing intent far surpassing his own, and it even faintly reflected his own future path.

Therefore, he was also shocked.

In the path of innate slaughter, he had only just begun, while the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, also known as the Slaughter Demon God, had already stood at the pinnacle of this path.

He has a long way to go. He must not be complacent just because he has achieved some success. He is not worthy of it.

"So strong!"

If the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Styx Ancestor were merely shocked, then the demons were terrified. This sword strike was too powerful; even if they joined forces, they couldn't withstand it.

With a single sword strike, at least 80% of them would be killed. The remaining 20% ​​would not die, but would be severely injured, suffering irreparable wounds, which would be no different from being dead.

"Fight!"

"Even if it means self-destructing my natal magic weapon, I will block this sword."

The demons knew that even if they wanted to hide now, they had no chance and could only grit their teeth and fight.

Therefore, they gritted their teeth and prepared to self-destruct their respective natal spiritual treasures to weaken the power of the sword light and buy themselves a chance to survive.

However, before they could make a move, at the crucial moment, another unexpected change occurred.

A tremendous surge of fortune suddenly blessed them, causing their strength to skyrocket. Not only did they all enter the realm of Hunyuan, but the two strongest among them, Jidu Demon God and Daheitian Demon God, even directly reached the sixth level of Hunyuan.

"This is……"

There was no time to ponder where this stroke of luck came from. With their strength surging, the group immediately abandoned the idea of ​​self-destructing their natal spiritual treasures and instead unleashed all their power to activate the Demon Refining Array beneath their feet as much as possible.

On one hand, it was to refine this sword light; on the other hand, it was to prevent the Demon Ancestor from escaping in the chaos.

After the Demon Ancestor fully recovered, why didn't he leave immediately, but instead attacked them first? It wasn't that the Demon Ancestor didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't leave.

He is currently trapped in the Demon Refining Array set up by the combined forces of the demons. How can he leave without severely injuring the demons and breaking the array? Therefore, the purpose of the Demon Ancestor's sword strike was not only to injure people, but also to break the array.

However, due to a mysterious surge of luck, the demons' strength increased dramatically, and they were no longer afraid of the Demon Ancestor's sword light, thus thwarting his plan to break the formation.

If the formation cannot be broken, the Demon Ancestor will not be able to leave.

Rumble!
A powerful demonic energy surged forth, unleashing endless lightning that carved out the void, dividing it into countless worlds. The sword light surged forth, colliding with these endless worlds.

In an instant, all worlds shattered. But the next moment, under the overwhelming power of thunder, all worlds reappeared. Then the sword light turned again, and all worlds perished once more. But immediately, with a flick of thunder, all worlds were reborn…

Thus, as the myriad worlds continued to be created and destroyed, the power of the sword light grew weaker and weaker, until finally it was completely extinguished.

The Demon Ancestor, who was about to leave, was dumbfounded upon seeing this. The Demon Refining Array was still in place, and he was trapped, unable to leave at all.

"Who created the Demon Realm?!"

With just one glance, the Demon Ancestor understood the whole story and gritted his teeth.

That sudden surge of fortune originated from the creation of the Demon Realm. Among all the realms, the Demon Realm was about to be born, which was an immense boon to the demonic path, naturally causing its fortune to skyrocket.

Of course, as the Demon Realm is later occupied by the Xuanmen, the fortunes of the Demonic Path will inevitably plummet.

But that's all in the future. The future decline of the demonic path's fortune will not affect the current surge in the demonic path's fortune.

The Demon Ancestor had just been deposed by the demons, and now the demonic path was experiencing a surge in fortune, which naturally benefited the demons. As a result, the demons, who would normally have had a hard time surviving under the Demon Ancestor's sword, not only survived but also temporarily suppressed him.

"Who created the Demon Realm?"

Not only was the Demon Ancestor curious, but all the demons were curious as well.

If they remembered correctly, all the powerful figures in the demonic path who were capable of creating a demonic realm were currently focused on besieging the Demon Ancestor, leaving them with no extra power to create a demonic realm.

hiss~~

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but gasp. It was obvious that the powerful figure who created the Demon Realm was most likely not a member of the demonic path, but rather a powerful figure from the Xuanmen (mystical sects).

Why do they think this way? Because at its peak, the demonic path had thousands of powerful cultivators, more than 90% of whom were transformed from powerful cultivators of the Xuanmen sect, and some even played multiple roles.

Given the precedent of powerful figures from the Xuanmen sect, it's perfectly normal for them to impersonate powerful figures from the demonic path and establish a demonic realm.

After all, establishing a demonic realm at a time when the demonic path is in decline is clearly more detrimental than beneficial to it. Normal powerful figures in the demonic path would certainly not do such a thing, but powerful figures in the mystical sects might be different.

The clone creates the Demon Realm, and the main body then strikes to defeat the powerful demonic figure portrayed by the clone, taking over the newly born Demon Realm and refining demons into the Dao.

What is this? This is definitely a major achievement!
Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for powerful figures in the demonic path to suspect that the demonic realm was created by powerful figures from the mystical sect using their clones.

This was all a show orchestrated by the powerful figures of the Xuanmen sect to gain merit. However, it inadvertently helped them a great deal by trapping the Demon Ancestor.

However, none of that matters, at least not for the time being. The most important thing for the demons now is not to investigate who created the demon realm, but to find a way to make the Demon Ancestor give in and agree to their previous proposal.

Then, the Demon God Jidu suppressed his other thoughts and anxiously shouted to the Demon Ancestor:
"Demon Ancestor, stop hesitating. The Xuanmen Saint will be here soon. If you continue to entangle with us, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

"If you don't want to perish together with us, you'd better agree to our previous demands and hand over half of the Origin Mark."

"Otherwise, if this stalemate continues, you know the consequences."

The Demon God Ketu was truly out of options; with the arrival of the Xuanmen experts, the Demon Ancestor was indeed trapped. But what did that have to do with them?
In the end, it was the Xuanmen experts who sacrificed themselves to the Demon Ancestor, not them. Why should Heaven intervene to help them resolve this hidden danger?

Or to put it more bluntly, from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, it is undoubtedly more advantageous for them to be possessed by the Chaos Demon Gods. This way, by simply keeping an eye on them, the remaining Chaos Demon Gods can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, don't expect Heaven to help them on its own initiative. If they want Heaven to intervene, they must pay a sufficient price.

Sacrificing to the Chaos God or to the Demon Ancestor became their only two options.

Therefore, they were determined to accomplish this before the Xuanmen Saint arrived. Otherwise, once the Xuanmen Saint arrived, the rest would be none of their business.

Although the Demon Ancestor would still die, at most it would be considered a mutual destruction, which is not the result they wanted.

They didn't want to perish together; this was their last resort. Whenever possible, they only wanted to win, or at least achieve a win-win situation.

The Demon Ancestor agreed to their conditions, offering half of the Great Dao Imprint, which prompted the Heavenly Dao to intervene and eliminate the threat to them. As a result, the Demon Ancestor also gained the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

In the end, both sides survived, so it was a win-win situation.

"If I can be buried with you after I die, it won't be a loss."

Despite the advice of the Demon God Jidu, the Demon Ancestor remained unmoved. He figured he could simply self-destruct; perhaps that would buy him a chance to survive.

"Indeed, it's not a loss. It's not just us who were buried with you, but also the Chaos Gods corresponding to us. Your death alone was exchanged for so many Chaos Gods to be buried with you. How can it be considered a loss?"

The Great Black Heaven Demon God sneered, "How long has it been? The Demon Ancestor has already forgotten? It's not that they don't have ways to control the Chaos Demon God."

If they are truly pushed to the limit, they will offer themselves as sacrifices to the Heavenly Dao. The Chaos Gods who regard them as vessels will not fare well and will perish along with them.

Can the Demon Ancestor bear this price?

Sure enough, as the demons' voices faded, the Demon Ancestor's expression changed drastically. Involving so many chaotic demon gods was indeed a difficult situation.

But to ask him to sacrifice half of his Great Dao Imprint was out of the question. Other Chaos Gods were important, but none were as important as his own future.

He would never agree to sacrifice his own future in exchange for the survival of the other Chaos Gods.

"One World Tree seed, that should be enough, right?"

Just as the Demon Ancestor was struggling with his decision, the voice of the Great Immortal Yangmei suddenly came, giving the demons another option.

"The World Tree is a Chaos Spiritual Root, comparable to the Chaos Azure Lotus. Its value surpasses that of a Chaos Demon God. Offering it as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao will be enough to solve your problem."

Fearing they might not know what the World Tree was, Yang Mei further explained.

The World Tree, a Chaos Spiritual Root, is a treasure as powerful as the Chaos Green Lotus, and will at least become a Chaos Supreme Treasure in the future.

Its value is astonishing, far exceeding that of a Chaos God.
