Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 915 The Collapse of the Dao Court!
With the ability to transform his inner demons into intangible forms, and given that the Primordial Heavenly Demon was already at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he was even more powerful than Emperor Jiayou, who was currently at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Therefore, its influence is simply beyond anyone's comprehension.

Soon, the causal scenario began to unfold, and Emperor Jiayou, just like in official history, began to face the suppression of the officials and ministers led by the Grand Tutor of the Dao Court.

In official history, he chose to face the challenge head-on.

However, this time, under the interference of the Primal Heavenly Demon, he gradually developed a desire for pleasure, and his originally high fighting spirit was gradually worn away.

"Forget it."

"Even if I win, what's the point? Once the Daoist Emperor reaches a thousand years old, he will ascend to heaven on a dragon throne. The middle and early stages make no difference to me."

"Unless one reaches the level of a Great True Lord, then even slight changes can be made."

"But it's too difficult for the Great True Lord. Not only does he have to control the court, but he also has to make the Three Dukes completely submit. It feels like that will never happen, and he will have to suffer a lot."

"But why should I suffer like this? If the Grand Tutor wants power, just give it to him. Anyway, he doesn't have many years left. When he is reincarnated, he will be stripped of his golden nature and will have no protection. He will be far happier than me. Why should I compete with him for this short time? I might as well enjoy myself."

The more Emperor Jiayou thought about it, the more lazy he became.

"The hardships I've endured in this life were already borne by the founding emperor when he entered the pass. Now all I need to do is enjoy my life in peace!"

Of course, Emperor Jiayou didn't just collapse all at once.

Or rather, his true self had a vague sense that something was wrong, and even though he was being misled, he instinctively wanted to pull himself together and rise up.

However, the Primordial Demon Lord would not give him that chance.

Emperor Jiayou's several attempts to rise up were all secretly influenced by him, either through tipping him off or by making him act foolishly, ultimately ruining them all.

A series of more than a dozen causal events followed.

Emperor Jiayou's instinct to resist was completely suppressed by the Primal Heavenly Demon, and he ultimately chose to give up, becoming a puppet emperor of the Daoist Grand Tutor.

Haha. It's done!

Upon seeing this, the Primordial Demon burst into laughter, and then the [Time-Shifting Instrument] in his hand suddenly shone brightly, emitting endless shimmering colors.

"Boom!"

The next second, the Primordial Demon returned to the mortal world, riding a gust of yin wind to the court of the Daoist Temple, revealing the true form of the black-robed youth.

Almost simultaneously, Emperor Jiayou also came to his senses.

Although the Primordial Heavenly Demon had just activated his magic weapon and used his methods, and it seemed like a long time had passed, it all happened within the realm of cause and effect.

In reality, only a moment has passed.

However, after that instant, when Emperor Jiayou regained his consciousness, he was no longer the same person as he had been a moment before; his entire demeanor had undergone a dramatic change.

His original high morale turned into decadence and laziness. His cultivation level in the middle stage of Golden Core plummeted, and he became someone who had just entered the early stage of Golden Core. His cultivation level also dropped rapidly. Large amounts of his memories and knowledge were erased out of thin air. Even the scene in the imperial court changed significantly.

The number of capable ministers decreased significantly, while the number of sycophantic ministers increased significantly.

The Three Dukes remained unchanged, but the Three Dukes of this generation were not capable enough, so even though Emperor Jiayou was incompetent, no one took advantage of this to control the court.

This was also a result that the Primordial Heavenly Demon had already foreseen.

In other words——

'At this moment, the Dao Court only has four early-stage Golden Core cultivators! Without someone in control of the court, no one can fully utilize the power of the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws]!'

Why did it choose to target the Daoist court?
The answer is simple: the Buddha had already done it once before and had plenty of successful experience, so doing it again was a piece of cake for him!

"Besides, the Dao Lord of the Dao Court won't interfere. The key to the 'Dao of Patrolling on Behalf of Heaven' lies in the 'on behalf of Heaven.' Even if a few Golden Core True Monarchs die, or even if the Tianwu royal family is destroyed, as long as the 'Dao Laws of the Immortal Kingdom' remain, the world of Jiangdong won't be turned upside down. At most, it'll just be a change of blood."

The Primordial Demon let out a wild laugh. The next second, the yin wind it transformed into blew into the bodies of Emperor Jiayou, the Grand Tutor, the Grand Preceptor, and the Grand Protector, while it paid no heed to the assembled officials.

I'll eat it!

The primordial demon split into four, and he truly feasted. The souls of the Grand Tutor, Grand Preceptor, and Grand Protector were the first to collapse, and were soon devoured by him.

Emperor Jiayou managed to hold on for a moment, but he was no longer the authoritative emperor who ruled Jiangdong alone. The cause and effect had been altered, and he was now a puppet emperor who had been decadent for hundreds of years. Even with the blessing of some of the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws], he could not resist the devouring of his inner demons.

"Boom!"

A moment later, a synchronized explosion was heard, and the four Golden Core cultivators of the Dao Court exploded at the same time, without any loss of qi, blood, or magical power.

All that was left was an empty shell.

As for its interior, it was completely devoured by the Primordial Heavenly Demon!
In an instant, both inside and outside the Dao Court, four star-shaped formations of fruit-ranking beings lit up simultaneously, almost instantly attracting the attention of True Lords from all over the land. This was followed by a deafening roar:

"All of them perished!?"

"The Three Dukes are one thing, but how could Emperor Jiayou have perished? He was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm; even if he had perished, he should have been able to return immediately."

"They seem to be completely dead?"

"This is impossible!"

Under the astonished and enraged gazes of the assembled True Lords, the figure of the Primordial Heavenly Demon appeared, holding the [Time-Shifting Instrument] in his hand, a wicked smile playing on his lips:

"Impossible? Hahaha, nothing is impossible!"

Then, he raised a finger and placed it to his upturned lips:
"The next one is you!"

Before he finished speaking, the Primal Demon vanished with the wind. He wasn't worried at all that anyone could discover his methods, since the Change of Cause and Effect Fruit was too secretive.

The unknown often brings fear.

This is why the Primordial Demon did not leave, but deliberately appeared, left a message, and then departed, all to amplify this unknown fear.

Fear me!

'In this age where no one understands my true nature, the more people fear me, the less they can control their thoughts, and the easier it is for me, as their inner demon, to take advantage of their vulnerability!'

Thinking of this, the Primordial Demon once again took out the [Time-Shifting Instrument].

He then changed his magic incantation, flipping the wondrous treasure over and transforming it into the "Time-Shifting Ritual," thus restoring the altered cause and effect of Emperor Jiayou's corruption.

"call!"

In an instant, Emperor Jiayou returned to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but he had already been devoured by the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to be resurrected. However, in return, the original Heavenly Demon's gains can instantly transform him from the early stage of the Golden Core realm back to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm!

"Jie Jie"

With a wicked laugh, the Primordial Demon felt a surge of pure and powerful energy emerge from within, instantly replenishing his demonic body.

In an instant, his cultivation level improved dramatically.

"I can devour the four golden core souls and use them to refine a true treasure specifically for the Heart Demon, further enhancing my status and combat power."

Thinking of this, he didn't rush to make another move.

"Let him rest for a few days first."

He made a hand seal and ignited a ball of yin fire at his fingertips: "Once I have forged four demonic artifacts, I will take the life of that Immortal Lord of Tribulation Crossing!"
