I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

The reason why these vengeful spirits within the Blood Prison Demon Sect's mountain gate are unable to be reborn in the afterlife is that the former Blood Prison Demon Lord mortgaged everything in order to prove his Dao.

This included the Fallen Demon Lamp, which he had stolen from his own residence, and many disciples of the Blood Prison Demon Sect.

If the Blood Prison Demon Lord succeeds in attaining enlightenment, that would be fine; at least he could slowly repay his debts.

However, since the Blood Prison Demon Lord failed to attain enlightenment, everything within the Blood Prison Demon Sect's mountain gate naturally became a bad debt.

But the question is, who can truly default on their debt to Heaven?

The Fallen Demon Lamp is still alright, as its rank is high enough and it was stolen by the Blood Prison Demon Lord himself. She has the ability and means to transfer this part of the cause and effect back to the Blood Prison Demon Lord.

The disciples of the Blood Prison Demon Sect, however, did not have this method.

Thus, they all became "bad debts" owed to Heaven and Earth.

Unable to live or die, they could only wander inside the Demon Sect's mountain gate, enduring endless sins and punishments day after day.

Until it completely transforms into the most ferocious cursed spirit in the world, its magical power is profound and its strength is immense, even lightning and fire find it extremely difficult to restrain.

With the extraterrestrial enemy about to awaken, if these cursed souls who owe the Heavenly Dao their debts fall into the hands of the extraterrestrial enemy, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.

Now is almost the perfect time to get rid of these vengeful ghosts.

Firstly, the extraterrestrial enemy has not yet fully awakened, leaving a time gap.
Secondly, the will of Heaven has not yet been completely corrupted. He has eliminated many cursed souls that pose a significant threat to the world in advance, and the true will of Heaven will likely support him silently.

Having fully grasped the causes and consequences, and having received the various benefits promised by the Fallen Demon Zhaoming, Zhong Lixiao finally accepted this difficult task.

Zhong Lixiao sat cross-legged, his aura as a "living person" radiating outwards to its maximum.

For these vengeful ghosts and cursed spirits within the Demon Sect's mountain gate, they were truly like warm sunshine and juicy meat.

The warm sun can dispel the cold, and fatty meat can fill your stomach.

Although they had already vaguely sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Zhong Lixiao, they were still driven by instinct and quickly gathered around him.

In a short period of time, at least tens of thousands of cursed souls gathered around Zhong Lixiao.

In the era when Zhong Lixiao was already revered as "True Lord", let alone such a large number of cursed souls, even if the number gathered exceeded one hundred, it would be a great threat to him.

This also shows how powerful these cursed spirits are.

This further demonstrates the tremendous growth Zhong Lixiao has achieved over the years.

These cursed spirits gathered around his body, turning the entire world into darkness, as if the mortal realm had been transformed into the underworld.

It even interfered with and disrupted the void dimensions around Zhong Lixiao, making spacetime extremely strange.

Seeing that the cursed spirits had gathered enough, Zhong Lixiao immediately began to rapidly form hand seals while chanting incantations.

As he spoke, Zhong Lixiao seemed to transform into a master of music.

The five notes of the pentatonic scale (Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu), representing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), seem to influence the myriad principles of heaven and earth.

This method was precisely the means by which Zhong Lixiao obtained the Great Dao of Annihilation from the demonic musician Shang Jiuyin during his trip to the underworld.

Enter the Dao through music, use the myriad principles of heaven and earth as the strings of a musical instrument, and when you speak, it is the celestial sound of the Great Dao.

It was clear that after Zhong Lixiao chanted incantations for a while, these cursed spirits also clearly sensed great danger.

They began to erupt into complete chaos, letting out a series of piercing screams.

Instantly, even Zhong Lixiao's mind felt a strong stimulation, a tingling sensation on his scalp, and even a bone-chilling cold.

What level has Zhong Lixiao reached now?
The wailing and howling of these hundreds of thousands of cursed spirits had some effect on him, which shows just how exaggerated the power of so many cursed spirits gathered together and attacking at the same time must be.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to experience such a cacophony, even if they survived, their soul would likely suffer severe damage.

Fortunately, these cursed spirits are extremely difficult to deal with, but Zhong Lixiao is even more difficult to deal with now.

Zhong Lixiao was seen chanting incantations, and a large number of tangible incantations continuously manifested from his mouth.

These incantations, amplified by the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, overwhelmed the ghostly howls of those cursed spirits, and then completely entered their bodies.

Then, Zhong Lixiao changed the incantation he was holding, and the incantation he was reciting also changed.

However, a large number of divine chains of order precisely wrapped around the many cursed souls present, following the location of the incantation marks.

three days later.

The cursed spirits surrounding Zhong Lixiao grew increasingly frenzied, their bodies emitting almost tangible black smoke.

Zhong Lixiao's "salvation" not only failed to quell their resentment, but seemed to further inflame it.

If it were someone else, they would most likely have given up now.

but.

For Zhong Lixiao's salvation, this is just the beginning.

"Edict!"

Zhong Lixiao finished making the last hand seal with both hands, and in the next instant, an unprecedentedly blazing divine light emanated from him and spread to every corner in all directions.

Enraged, the scattered cursed spirits immediately launched a counterattack, determined to tear Zhong Lixiao apart.

But in the next instant, one after another, illusory lamps lit up above the heads of each cursed soul.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Lixiao's eyes immediately brightened.

It wasn't easy; he finally managed to precisely ignite the bronze life lamp that Zhong Lixiao had specially customized above the heads of these cursed spirits.

This move was something he learned from the underworld after arriving there.

And now it is the perfect tool to suppress these cursed spirits!
That's right. To help these cursed spirits find peace, the first thing to do is to kill them all.

Completely extinguish the resentment that has accumulated on them over the years, and even some of the rules that prevent them from being completely annihilated.

And this is the key to converting these cursed souls!
In the blink of an eye, another seven days have passed.

The bronze life lamps above the heads of these cursed spirits had also solidified completely.

"Destroy!"

Having made thorough preparations well in advance, Zhong Lixiao suddenly spread his hands out to both sides.

Beams of divine light immediately began to sweep outwards from Zhong Lixiao in all directions.

Puff puff!
These numerous cursed souls, "nailed" to death by the bronze life lamp, immediately exploded like clusters of fireworks.

At the eerily sinister gates of the Demon Sect, an extremely bizarre fireworks display took place.

In the next instant, Zhong Lixiao's figure seemed to grow incredibly tall.

And within his small world, he instantly encompassed all these cursed souls.

Then came the portion of the Yellow Springs River authority from the opposite side of the Dao Seed of Light, which attracted the mighty power of the Yellow Springs River.

The numerous cursed souls that had been "nailed" apart by the bronze life lamp were all dragged into the Yellow Springs power by Zhong Lixiao to be soaked and washed.

Birth and the moment of birth, death and the instant of death.

No matter how many sins one committed in life, once washed away by the waters of the Yellow Springs, they are immediately severed from their past and future.

Moreover, almost all the cursed souls here were harmed by the Blood Prison Demon Lord and are themselves victims.

They shouldn't be condemned to eternal damnation!

At that very moment, a thunderclap suddenly rose from the ground above Zhong Lixiao's head.

In that instant, Zhong Lixiao felt as if he were facing the entire world.

In that instant, he felt incredibly small, smaller than ever before.

Clang, clang, clang.

It was the Fallen Demon Lamp from the mysterious stone palace, which flew away from the eye of heaven and earth and hovered directly above his head.

This directly helped Zhong Lixiao withstand most of the heavenly might, but even so, Zhong Lixiao still felt astonishing pressure.

at the same time.

The nine Dao Lords of the mortal realm simultaneously gazed towards the direction of the Demon Sect's mountain gate.

Not long ago, they were also visibly shaken by the sudden change in the celestial phenomena, and were somewhat bewildered.

The specifics are still unclear, but unexpectedly, just a few days later, someone at the Demon Sect's mountain gate has triggered a heavenly punishment.

Was it that fellow Daoist Zhonghuang who caused this big commotion again?

Many Dao Lords of the mortal realm were immediately silenced.

They couldn't help but recall the strange events of ten days ago!

That day was the day when Fellow Daoist Zhonghuang and many Nascent Soul cultivators from the mortal realm entered the Netherworld together.

On the same day, the life-bound soul lamps left behind by the many Nascent Soul Venerables who entered the underworld in their respective sects in the mortal realm were in grave danger.

Although the lights of these soul lamps eventually stabilized, they still caused quite a commotion.

On that same day, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, and the horns of the end of an era suddenly sounded throughout the world.
Only ten days have passed!

Ten days is nothing to a cultivator at the Dao Lord level.
Is that enough for them to finish a game of chess and a cup of tea?
Even the shadow master couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment.

Deceiving Heaven?

With someone like Zhong Lixiao who disagrees, no matter how much he tries to deceive, it's all meaningless.

The film's creator was both amused and exasperated, and suddenly felt somewhat lost.

After all that scheming, what exactly was he planning?
According to his original estimate, his method of deceiving Heaven could buy humanity at least several hundred or even a thousand years.

As a result, from the time he conquered the heavens until now, it has only been a little over a hundred years.

At this moment, not only the Shadow Lord, but also the other Underworld Lords, one by one, are all somewhat confused.

If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Sect's mountain gate is currently under the influence of divine punishment, they would really like to go over there, grab Zhong Lixiao's ear, and yell at him to shut him up.

but.

Now that things have come to this, all they can do is try their best and leave the rest to fate!

The Demon Sect's mountain gate.

Rumble!
Endless calamity clouds rolled endlessly, and at this moment, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt extremely insignificant.

This is completely different from the feeling of being locked by the bronze life lamp of the underworld.

The bronze life lamps of the underworld seem more like a way to gather and attract great power.

It's like when you break a boulder on your chest, you remove the smooth boulder that was placed on your chest, allowing the power of heaven and earth to directly converge into a "life nail," which is then fiercely driven into the object locked by the bronze life lamp.

It's like the power of the entire world converging at a single point, striking you directly.

No matter how indestructible or indestructible you are, under such immense pressure, you will be instantly pierced.

However, the might of Heaven in the mortal realm is essentially more like a crushing defeat on a power level.

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

If Zhong Lixiao had barely touched the threshold of "three" before, then this divine might was like a crushing defeat at the level of "two" or even "one".

In summary, one focuses on quality, and the other on quantity.

Zhong Lixiao was under unimaginable pressure. Even his natal magic treasure, the Mountain and River Seal, was now floating and sinking in his primordial spirit, appearing extremely agitated.

but.

That's why Zhong Lixiao felt a little excited.

Experiencing the might of the heavens might not be bad!
At a different point in time, Zhong Lixiao would never have been so reckless and arrogant as to provoke the heavens.

The problem is, just as he was about to convert those cursed souls, divine punishment followed.

This fully demonstrates that what the Fallen Demon Zhan Zhaoming said is true—because of him, the extraterrestrial enemy that is eroding the will of heaven has begun to awaken.

He has very little time left; perhaps only a year remains.

Since he would have to face the fully awakened extraterrestrial enemy a year from now, why not test His edge now?

Furthermore, if the "bronze life nails" that are abundant in the underworld could be combined with the majestic heavenly power that is abundant in the mortal world, then it might actually be possible to forge them into some kind of deadly weapon!
Zhong Lixiao secretly transmitted his voice, "Senior Zhaoming, I must eventually face the might of Heaven. Please refrain from making a move for now, so that I may also witness the power of Heaven and Earth!"

The spirit of the Fallen Demon Lamp, Zhao Ming, glanced at Zhong Lixiao unexpectedly, then with a flicker, disappeared directly above his head.

The next instant, Zhong Lixiao felt an unprecedented surge of power.

Even though there was no real weight pressing down on him, Zhong Lixiao still trembled instinctively.

He felt as if the entire world was pressing down on him.

Zhong Lixiao didn't find this particularly unfamiliar.

The techniques he learned from the Shinto system, such as "spiritual empowerment," and from the geomancer's way, such as "moral empowerment," are essentially similar.

But clearly, this method is far more sophisticated.

Perhaps only a single thought landed on him, but it felt as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on him. Eight faintly visible pillars of heaven appeared around Zhong Lixiao.

These eight celestial pillars were actually formed from the Dao seeds of the eight Dao Lords he had refined.

Rumble!
Even so, the ground where Zhong Lixiao stood still collapsed directly beneath his feet.

It was as if an earth dragon had turned over, causing the entire earth to crack and shake, even triggering countless forbidden formations at the Demon Sect's mountain gate, which emitted dazzling and brilliant light.

It seems that these forbidden formations are echoing Zhong Lixiao's thoughts, and are following him to face the might of heaven.

Zhong Lixiao's actions were undoubtedly outrageous and directly and thoroughly angered the will of Heaven.

Therefore, Zhong Lixiao got what he asked for!

A dazzling beam of lightning pierced the sky and tore through the heavens, striking fiercely towards the location of Zhong Lixiao within the Demon Sect's mountain gate.

In that instant, this bolt of lightning seemed to become the only light in the world.

This caused the light at the Demon Sect's mountain gate to instantly engulf everything.

Outside the Demon Sect's mountain gate, darkness seemed to instantly engulf everything in other areas.

Ouch!

With a thunderous roar, the azure dragon formed from the spirit of the Mountain and River Seal roared and snaked out from Zhong Lixiao's primordial spirit.

It grew bigger and bigger, and then it went against the current, colliding directly with the tribulation lightning that fell from the sky.

The Mountain and River Seal is Zhong Lixiao's natal magic weapon. During its forging process, it originally absorbed some of the tribulation lightning power from when the original Four Symbols Dao Palace Master, Zang Yuanshang, was undergoing his tribulation.

Using it to receive the power of tribulation lightning is certainly a good fit for its profession.

But in the next instant, the azure dragon transformed from the Mountain and River Seal was immediately defeated.

You can even see very clearly that a large number of dragon scales on the dragon's body have fallen off.

Endless dragon blood spilled out, revealing the hideous bones inside.

The dragon's body even emitted a large amount of black smoke, as if it had been roasted.

After a mournful cry, the spirit of the Mountain and River Seal, Azure Dragon, disappeared. Even the Mountain and River Seal itself lost much of its spiritual power.

The Mountain and River Seal is Zhong Lixiao's natal magic weapon. When it was struck and damaged by the tribulation lightning, a considerable portion of the damage was directly fed back to Zhong Lixiao's body.

Even though Zhong Lixiao had used the membrane of the small world to resist the calamity, he still could not stop the massive power of the tribulation lightning from raging wildly on Zhong Lixiao's body.

In an instant, the entire space of the Demon Sect's mountain gate, including Zhong Lixiao's, was completely engulfed by endless lightning.

In an instant, Zhong Lixiao's entire body was cleaved open, with large amounts of blood and bone fragments spilling out.

As for the entire Demon Sect's mountain gate, it was completely plowed up by the tribulation lightning.

The Demon Sect, which was almost completely turned into the underworld due to the endless cursed souls that had been entrenched there, seemed to have been "resurrected" because of this tribulation lightning.

Even the most stubborn Yin energy is now melting away like snow meeting the sun.

Although Zhong Lixiao had expected this, he still gasped in shock.

Is this the power of heaven and earth?
It should be noted that his current strength is almost on par with that of the Dao Lord, yet he suffered such damage simply from withstanding a heavenly tribulation.

Keep in mind that the extraterrestrial enemy has not yet fully awakened!

Zhong Lixiao's expression was unusually solemn.

However, although his body was indeed damaged to a considerable extent, the power of the Great Dao of many Dao Lords in the mortal realm continued to flow into his body.

It helps him continuously repair the various injuries to his body!
Especially the power of the indestructible bone that is transformed after the Yin-Yang transformation is really quite useful.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao also vaguely sensed that after surviving a tribulation of lightning, his magical power, Dao body, and Dao bones had all undergone a baptism of the laws of heaven and earth, thus undergoing a certain transformation.

Fate is like a hammer, and he is like a piece of iron being forged, becoming more and more refined in the process.

but.

Before Zhong Lixiao could even get excited, the rolling tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly expanded to more than ten times their previous size.

Clearly, Zhong Lixiao's arrogant attitude had thoroughly angered the will of Heaven.

Zhong Lixiao's expression immediately changed.

This tribulation lightning is truly ruthless; its power has increased so many times over!
The spirit of the Fallen Demon Lamp quickly said, "Do you need my help? If it really doesn't work, you still have a lot of merit on you. Perhaps you can use your merit to offset your sins!"

Upon hearing this, a cold smile immediately appeared on Zhong Lixiao's face.

If one were to use merit to atone for one's sins at this point, wouldn't that be tantamount to begging for mercy?

If he can't even get past this hurdle, how can he talk about protecting the era that belongs to him?

With a roar, Zhong Lixiao's Blood Courage Path, belonging to the Human Demon, immediately became extremely violent.

The White Ancestor's Pillar of Heaven Dao directly manifested its true form.

Zhong Lixiao merged his body with the pillar of heaven within this small space, thereby once again resisting the overwhelming power of heaven.

In the next instant, the endless lightning, like an endless waterfall, transformed into a tangible liquid, continuously cascading down upon the small area.

It washed over Zhong Lixiao's body and soul!
Zhong Lixiao was instantly engulfed by endless tribulation lightning, and endless pain swept over him, instantly distorting his face.

His roar thus became completely mixed with the howling of the tribulation lightning.

At this moment, throughout the world, all those with high cultivation levels simultaneously heard Zhong Lixiao's enduring roar.

These powerful figures were all terrified!
Their world was destroyed one era after another due to the end of the era.

Aside from attaining enlightenment, it's actually quite difficult to attract heavenly tribulations.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Lixiao had attracted such a terrifying heavenly tribulation without making a sound.

The mortal realm has witnessed the successive attainment of the Dao by nine Dao Lords.

They were quite familiar with the Dao Lord's Tribulation of Attaining Dao.

Compared to the Heavenly Tribulation and the Tribulation of the Dao Lord's Proof of the Dao, the Human Tribulation is actually more difficult.

What exactly did this Emperor Zhonghuang do to attract such a powerful celestial calamity?
Unbelievable!

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, those who were watching the heavenly tribulation were surprised to find that the momentum of the raging heavenly tribulation had once again become countless times greater.

Even more incredibly, amidst the rolling thunderclouds, there seemed to be a "guillotine" used to strangle the most heinous criminals.

When this Heavenly Thunder Guillotine is unleashed, not only ordinary cultivators but even Dao Lord-level beings feel a slight pain in their necks.

If they were struck by this kind of heavenly lightning, even they would most likely be separated from their bodies.

They are the masters of the Dao, and in theory, they live as long as heaven and earth.

Even if the personified avatar is beheaded by heavenly lightning, it will not die in essence.

But the problem is, this is divine retribution.

Even if they were beheaded, the price they would have to pay to recreate a new persona would be extremely high.

Having reached this point, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he's already dead.

This fellow Daoist Zhonghuang has not yet attained enlightenment.

If his true form were truly severed by the Heavenly Thunder Executioner, then he would most likely be executed by Heaven!

at the same time.

As the power of the Great Dao continuously nourished Zhong Lixiao's body, the injuries he had sustained from enduring that tribulation were gradually healing.

As you can see, Zhong Lixiao's flesh and blood are writhing rapidly, and his entire body is enveloped in a light containing astonishing Dao essence.

Given time, the Dao injuries on his body will completely disappear.

Moreover, having undergone this tribulation, he is like a piece of fine iron that has been forged through countless trials. All the impurities and flaws on his body will be eliminated as a result, and his cultivation will surely reach new heights.

But now, an even more terrifying Heavenly Thunder Guillotine has appeared amidst the heavenly thunder.

Instantly, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Zhong Lixiao's forehead.

With the blessing of the Great Dao such as Undying Bones, Blood Courage, and Heavenly Pillar, Zhong Lixiao's magical power is inexhaustible.

As long as he isn't killed by the attack, and given time, he can recover quickly.

With the added power of the "Butterfly Transformation," what doesn't defeat him only makes him stronger.

It seems that these hardships and tribulations will eventually transform into nourishment that helps him break free from his cocoon and become a butterfly.

This has already been proven in Zhong Lixiao's case.

The two tribulations that followed have now become nourishment for him.

However, it was obvious that Tianyi also sensed the special nature of his physique and directly disregarded martial ethics to push the intensity to the limit.

They even came up with the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine!
Even if he has a strong regenerative ability, what's the point of regeneration if he's beheaded by a guillotine?
He hasn't reached the point of being impossible to destroy or bury yet!

At this moment, time seemed to stretch on endlessly in Zhong Lixiao's eyes.

The Demonic Lamp of Fallen Sin floated directly above his head, actively helping him to share the pressure from the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine.

Even so, Zhong Lixiao still felt a chill run down his neck.

And the supernatural power "Heaven favors the simple-minded" was even more frantically warning him.

Unfortunately, there was nothing Zhong Lixiao could do.

Dangerous!
Dangerous!

Zhong Lixiao could even catch the glow of the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine slowly slicing towards his neck; this moment felt like eternity!

The next moment, Zhong Lixiao was surprised to find that the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine had stopped not far from him.

The Heavenly Thunder Guillotine swayed, its blades emitting a series of trembling sounds.

at the same time.

Throughout the world, the sound of thunder could be heard everywhere.

It looked as if something was colliding and clashing!
Zhong Lixiao's expression was strange, but he instantly realized that this might be an opportunity.

Without saying a word, he immediately unleashed a large number of Order God Chains at the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine.

Soon after, the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine, bound by numerous chains of divine order by Zhong Lixiao, was slowly dragged toward the small world.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao's heart was pounding even harder.

He had already angered the heavens, and now he was doing something like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

but.

Zhong Lixiao was incredibly audacious!

Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death!
Since we've already fallen out, let's seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and pull off a big heist!
Although Zhong Lixiao is not yet a Dao Lord, the combined power of the Yin and Yang Dao Seeds has already given him the power of a Dao Lord.

In addition, the Order Chains are originally the authority of Heaven.

If things had proceeded at the normal pace, he would never have been able to catch the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine.

Because its speed has transcended time and space.

But by sheer coincidence, Zhong Lixiao captured the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine with the Chain of Order!

If we don't completely win him over, we'll be letting him down!

Keng.

With a resounding clang of the Heavenly Thunder Guillotine, this instrument of torture, symbolizing the might of Heaven, was dragged into the small space by Zhong Lixiao.

Then, what awaits it is layers of sealing.

Rumble!
Endless thunder roared, and the mighty power of heaven swept across the land.

In an instant, all living beings in the entire world were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with fear.

Those who are slightly better off are probably only the nine Dao Lords.

They were all a little stunned!

How can a person cause so much trouble?
It was clearly felt that the supreme heavenly might swept across the sky above the Demon Sect's mountain gate, as if it wanted to completely destroy the entire world.

But in the next instant, even powerful figures like Zhong Lixiao heard a muffled groan resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

It's as if fate has been punished!

All the powerful figures, including Zhong Lixiao, had a flash in their eyes at the same time.

Sure enough, the tribulation lightning that had just seemed poised to destroy the world gradually dissipated.

The clouds drifted by calmly, as if nothing had ever happened! (End of Chapter)
