Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 144: Killing Liang? Killing Hao?
"I accept!"

"I'll accept any price!"

As soon as Lu Dongbin finished speaking, Shi Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head and spoke in an extremely hoarse voice.

As Shiliang raised his face upwards, the dried blood scabs attached to his face fell off, revealing a face that shocked Shentian immensely.

"You are."

Shentian took a step forward in disbelief, almost stepping into the Chaos Demon Pillar's barrier, but even so, it could not hide Shentian's excitement.

Looking at Shiliang's face, Shentian opened his mouth several times, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them.

Until Lü Dongbin noticed something was wrong, turned around and asked in confusion: "Why, do you know him?"

"I don't know." Shen Tian looked at the figure kneeling on the ground and said with a rare tone of concern, "Are you Shi Liang or Shi Hao?"

When he heard the word "Shi Hao", Shi Liang's body trembled noticeably. His scattered eyes slowly focused at this moment and gradually fell on Shen Tian.

When he saw Shentian's face clearly, Shiliang's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Shentian? You are Shentian? But how is this possible?"

"Sure enough, you are really Shi Hao." Shentian finally understood where the increasingly strong feeling of throbbing in his heart came from since he entered Junan Mountain.

After thousands of years, meeting an old friend again, the complex emotions are beyond description.

Shen Tian sighed softly, "I thought you had died in the great upheaval of heaven and earth during the Chaos Period."

"No, I escaped that great change in the world by luck. Have you forgotten? It was your clone who told me personally." Shi Liang said with a helpless smile.

"Then how did you escape from the hands of those great wizards of later generations? After the eight gods sealed the Holy Lord and his companions, there were still hundreds of great wizards in the world."

"This is a long story." Shi Hao raised his head, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"At that time, after learning that the [King's Seat] convened by the Eight Great Demons was actually a trap set by the Eight Great Demons to sacrifice us demons."

"I will use the special nature of the power of blood to disperse myself into thousands of drops of blood and merge them into the mountains, rivers, and trees to weaken my demonic energy."

"But the impact of this method is also extremely uncontrollable, because I can't actively gather the scattered blood together again."

"Even my own will is evenly distributed among these thousands of drops of demonic blood. Whether it can be reunited depends entirely on my own luck."

At the end, Shi Hao shook his head and said, "So if hell and reality hadn't merged, I don't even know how long it would take for them to reunite."

"I see." Shen Tian nodded in understanding, then continued, "Then you were sealed here because of Shang Yuan's betrayal and a surprise attack?"

"Not really! Shang Yuan is just a minor character in this matter. Anyone can take his place."

"The key is still Di Yuan. That guy is the mastermind of everything. He planned everything for the power of my blood." Shi Hao said hatefully.

Shen Tian was slightly puzzled: "The power of blood? What does Di Yuan want your power for?"

"Humph, what else can I do? It's all to tame the Sky Burial Beast in his hands."

"More than two thousand years ago, Emperor Yuan captured a Sky Burial Beast from somewhere. Since then, Emperor Yuan has repeatedly approached me, hoping I could help him tame it."

"But taming the Sky Burial Beast would not benefit me at all, so I naturally rejected him. And since then, Di Yuan has been plotting against me." Shi Hao said indignantly.

However, after hearing what Shi Hao said, Lu Dongbin suddenly became excited: "Heaven Burial Beast? Are you sure that Di Yuan has a Heaven Burial Beast?"

"Of course it's confirmed!"

"Because I've only seen it once!" Shi Hao said, "The Sky Burial Beast only feeds on pure blood of living beings, and the blood it feeds must come from demons above the demon level."

"And the only thing that can do this is my blood power. So the moment I broke through to Chaos Monarch, Emperor Yuan set his sights on me."

"I guess Shang Yuan was a pawn arranged by Emperor Yuan from the very beginning. Everything he did was to lure me into Junan Mountain and seal me here."

Shentian looked at Lü Dongbin and asked, "Is there anything special about this Sky Burial Beast?"

"It's more than just special. Can't you tell the Sky Burial Beast's ability from its name?" Lu Dongbin said excitedly.

"Burial of Heaven?" Shentian asked as if to confirm.

Lü Dongbin said, "Yes, it is the Burial of Heaven!"

"The Sky Burial Beast originated from chaos. It is a beast of chaos, unbound by any rules or order. It is a divine beast that truly transcends the Three Realms and is not part of the Five Elements!"

"If we can tame the Sky Burial Beast, maybe we can actually kill Tian Dao!"

Seeing Lü Dongbin's serious expression, Shi Hao swallowed his saliva and said, "Can the Sky Burial Beast really be tamed using the blood of living beings?"

"What a joke! The Sky Burial Beast is a beast of chaos. The reason it devours the blood of living beings is simply because it despises other food."

"Only the Way of Heaven can give the Sky Burial Beast a hint of appetite." Lu Dongbin said as he looked towards Shentian and continued with a burning gaze.

"Shentian, if you want to completely solve the problem of yin and yang balance from the root, then the only way is to subdue the Sky Burial Beast and kill Tiandao."

"Otherwise, everything in the world, no matter how many reincarnations it goes through, will still be a puppet of the heavens, and will still be unable to escape the confinement of that history book of time."

Hearing this, Shentian fell silent.

In fact, when destroying Pangu's treasure box, Shentian wanted to reshape the world and bring a glimmer of opportunity for change to the demons' inevitable demise, nothing more.

But after Lu Dongbin's regret appeared, after learning that the Heavenly Dao had killed one Heavenly Dao seed after another, and after learning that even the devil was just one of countless seeds.

Shentian had actually discovered that all the threads of fate were intertwined with himself, and even if he wanted to escape, it was too late.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Tian said calmly, "I will subdue the Sky Burial Beast, and I will kill Di Yuan and Shang Yuan one by one, but everything else should be put aside for later."

"What we need to do now is to free Shi Hao from this forbidden sky nail."

"You are right, I was too impatient. I will repeat the liberation magic to you again to avoid any mistakes." Lu Dongbin said.

Then he repeated the liberation magic.

"Do you understand the principles of magic? You have to use the divine power of the sheep and the cat alternately to reshape Shi Hao's soul." Lu Dongbin asked.

Shen Tian affirmed, "Don't worry. When it comes to utilizing the sixteen divine powers, no one except the Holy Lord can be more adept than me."

"Let's start!" Lu Dongbin said as he stepped back.

Upon hearing this, Shentian closed his eyes and said to Shihao, "Shihao, I will use the power of the sheep to separate your soul from your body."

"But in order to prevent your body from being destroyed by the Sky Burial Nail and the nine Chaos Pillars, I will keep your Chaos Power within your body."

"Therefore, after your resurrection, your strength may drop back to the level of a Primordial Monarch. You'd better be mentally prepared in advance."

Shi Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Come on, I'm ready. Is there anything more unacceptable to me than being trapped here for thousands of years?"
