Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 345 [The Great Demonic Path: Life Through Flow, Death Through Defiance] (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

"hehe!"

Hearing Blood Demon's words, the Yin-Yang Demon Lord sneered, "Fellow Daoist Blood Demon, I admit that this Holy Law Heavenly Demon is stronger than me, but if you say that with his joining us, we can suppress the Primordial Heavenly Demon and obtain more demonic fortune, I simply don't believe it!"

"Yeah?"

The Blood Demon didn't refute, but simply chuckled, "In that case, let's wait and see!"

At least----

He still trusted Xuan Yin!

In the Primordial True Realm, a place with several sages in charge, Xuan Yin was able to pull off all sorts of amazing feats right under their noses. In the Demon Realm, where there are no sages in charge and everything is unrestricted, how could Xuan Yin be any less adept at creating mischief than he was in the Primordial True Realm?

Xuan Yin's gaze lingered on the Blood Demon, the Joyful Demon Lord, the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, the Hun Tian Demon Lord, the Tai Xu Demon Lord, and the Soul-Seizing Demon Lord. If a great demonic cultivator could be so capable of causing trouble, what if he combined their abilities with his own Dao of Law?

Finally, his gaze fell on the Joyful Demon Lord, and a bold idea came to him!

Suddenly, Xuan Yin laughed: "Fellow Daoists, your abilities are such that you can stand alone when you are alone, and together you are invincible in the Demon Realm!"

I have a plan that can gradually erode the foundations of many branches of the demonic path from the bottom up, making the leaders of those branches do the work for us. I wonder if any of you fellow cultivators are interested?

"What method?"

The Blood Demon Taoist immediately became interested.

Xuan Yin pondered for a moment, then looked at the Joyful Demon Lord: "Fellow Daoist Joyful, using the conception and refinement of offspring to strengthen your own origin is nothing more than a minor path! Have you ever considered that you alone will give birth to 99% of the beings in the Demon Realm, turning them into your offspring?"

"What?"

The Demon Lord of Joy was startled, then shook his head and said, "If I were to give birth to those demonic fetuses, wouldn't that deplete my source power?"

He was only thinking about strengthening himself, so why would he be thinking about increasing the number of demons?

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord scoffed, "What kind of terrible idea is this? Do you think you can devour so many demonic cultivators by having Fellow Daoist Huanxi constantly produce offspring?"

"Of course not!"

Xuan Yin shook his head and slowly said, "Therefore, we still need the help of a few fellow Daoists!"

He glanced at the Blood Demon Daoist, then looked at the Soul-Seizing Demon Lord: "Giving birth is just a process; the key lies with me, Fellow Daoist Blood Demon, and Fellow Daoist Soul-Seizing! The demonic path is lawless; without the constraints of karma, the many demonic fetuses born will not obey our commands!"

"What if the demonic fetus conceived by Fellow Daoist Joy were to be integrated with the bloodline of Fellow Daoist Blood Demon and the pure soul power split from Fellow Daoist Soul Stealer, and then I were to inscribe upon them the rules that determine their life and death, and finally—let them go and join other branches of the demonic path to cultivate other demonic systems?"

"If the cultivators of the Great Dao, such as the Heavenly Demon, Earthly Demon, Water Demon, Fire Demon, and Wind Demon, are all demonic embryos created by us—then can the masters of these demonic lineages still control their corresponding branches of the demonic path?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Blood Demon Daoist and the Soul-Seizing Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord of Joy's breathing quickened: "The beings of the Demon Realm, I alone have created! Truly, this is a path to heaven!"

As for the origin of the demonic fetus, it's not a big problem; just devour a few more Great Free Heavenly Demons or Quasi-Saints of the Demonic Path.

"And what about us?"

The Demon Lord of Chaos couldn't help but speak up: "If this succeeds, all the benefits will be yours! Shall I and the other two fellow Daoists just watch from the sidelines?"

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord and the Tai Xu Demon Lord immediately nodded, saying in unison, "That's right, we must also obtain a share of the demonic fortune from it!"

"otherwise----"

They may lack strength, but to disrupt Xuan Yin's plans, leak the information, and alert the other demon lineage leaders to take precautions, wouldn't that be an easy task?

Upon hearing this, Blood Demon Daoist felt a surge of killing intent, but Xuan Yin stopped him.

"These three fellow Daoists are naturally useful too!"

Xuan Yin slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Huanxi's gestation of a demonic fetus is a source of income, but the native demons of the Demon Realm cannot be ignored. Fellow Daoists Yin Yang and Tai Xu, since you are skilled at weakening other demonic cultivators, then do your best to eliminate some stubborn demons!"

"And Fellow Daoist Hun Tian, ​​since you are skilled in transforming into demonic forms, after Fellow Daoists Yin Yang and Tai Xu have eliminated those ungrateful demons, you can use your transformations to replace those demon ancestors!"

"As for those demons who were eliminated, they can serve as nourishment for Fellow Daoist Huanxi, so that we can nurture more demon embryos under our control!"

"Within three cycles, I will turn 99% of all beings in the Demon Realm below the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon realm into puppets under our control!"

"The Demon Realm doesn't need so many voices!"

Hearing Xuan Yin's words, the three of them immediately brightened up, especially the Demon Lord of Chaos, who excitedly grabbed Xuan Yin's hands: "Fellow Daoist is truly a genius, even more demonic than the Demon Ancestor!"

"When Luo and you stand together, who can tell who the true Demon Ancestor is?"

Luo Yan wanted to monopolize everything, to reverse the primordial chaos and achieve the unique Dao Fruit, while Xuan Yin wanted to pull them together to create a monopoly, first monopolizing the beings of the Demon Realm, and then monopolizing the fortune of the Demon Path!

Although none of them are human, following Xuan Yin will at least bring them many benefits.

None of them were fools; with a little deduction, they could conclude that the future Xuan Yin described to them was very promising!

The Joyful Demon Lord gave the Blood Demon Daoist a reproachful look: "Fellow Daoist Blood Demon, why didn't you introduce Fellow Daoist Saint Law to us sooner? With Fellow Daoist Saint Law leading us, how could our demonic path not prosper!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon's lips twitched involuntarily: "You lot, your attitudes change way too quickly!"

really!

In terms of being inhuman, he, the former master of the Lesser Vehicle of Demonic Path, is still no match for Xuan Yin, the second-generation Luo who is recognized by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!

You're more than just a second-generation Luo; you've surpassed your master!

Even though Luo is strong, he probably couldn't have come up with such a wicked idea!

Monopolizing the birth of demons, eroding the foundation of the demonic path, and completely controlling the lower-level demonic beings, with all demonic beings being born by the Joyful Demon Lord alone—is this a method that a normal person could come up with?

Xuan Yin ignored the Blood Demon Daoist's gaze and said with a pained expression, "Everything I've done is for the sake of the demonic path!"

"If the demonic path continues to fight amongst themselves, how can they possibly surpass the immortal and Buddhist paths in the future?"

"Those powerful figures in the demonic path only know how to exploit others and increase their own strength, without ever considering sacrificing their own interests for the greater good, or contributing their own power to the propagation of the demonic path!"

"How can the glory of the demonic path be restored while we're surrounded by such vermin?"

"Since they don't want to have children, then they shouldn't. Even if they don't, Fellow Daoist Huanxi can support the entire Demon Realm on his own!"

Upon hearing this, the Joyful Demon Lord exclaimed excitedly, "I alone gave birth to all the beings of the Demon Realm! Fellow Daoist Holy Law Heavenly Demon is truly my confidant!"

Xuan Yin was very satisfied with the Joyful Demon Lord's performance and solemnly declared, "What we are about to do is a great undertaking that surpasses even the achievements of our ancestors. Neither the Mahayana nor the Hinayana demonic paths can describe what we are about to do! In that case, today, the Great Vehicle demonic path shall emerge, and both Mahayana and Hinayana should be under the command of our Great Vehicle demonic path!"

"I shall become the master of the Great Vehicle Demonic Path!"

Boom!

Before the words were finished, the Great Dao of the Demon Realm trembled. It seemed that even Rahu, who was in charge of the origin of the Demon Realm, felt that Xuan Yin was more suitable to be the Demon Ancestor than Rahu.

The Great Vehicle of Demonic Path!

The Mahayana Demonic Path, which transcends both Hinayana and Mahayana demonic paths, encompasses everything!

In an instant, the demonic energy descended and converged upon Xuan Yin, and the very source of the demonic realm showed an unprecedented favor towards him.

The demonic path should flourish, the demonic realm should be unified, and a new demonic ancestor should replace the old one!

This is the will of the origin of the demonic path!

Although the majority of the demonic path's fortune was suppressed by the Twelfth-Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus, that was the demonic path's fortune before Luo was suppressed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

All things in the universe move forward. Since the demonic path has gained dozens more branches, its overall fortune will naturally continue to grow.

After establishing the Great Vehicle Demonic Path and gaining the recognition of the Demonic Realm's origin, Xuan Yin felt that the portion of the Demonic Path's fortune that he had previously sacrificed had returned!

"You can do that?"

Xuan Yin was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he remained calm. He simply looked at the Joyful Demon Lord and the others beside him and made a grand promise: "I will not enjoy this glory alone. Once the Great Ascension Demon Path unifies the Demon Realm, I guarantee that all of you fellow Daoists will be able to wield a power in the Demon Realm!"

Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon immediately bowed to Xuan Yin, saying, "Greetings, Lord of the Giant Ascension Demonic Path!"

The Joyful Demon Lord and the others echoed, "We have met the Lord of the Great Vehicle Demonic Path!"

Afterwards, the group made a solemn oath to advance and retreat together, and with the help of Xuan Yin's scheme, they would gradually devour the fortune of other branches of the demonic path!

However, the Blood Demon still pointed out any flaws in Xuan Yin's plan: "Fellow Daoist's plan can be said to be unprecedented, and it will be difficult to find one that can be replicated in the future! But for this plan to succeed, the Creation Demon must stop creating other living beings for a short period of time!"

One-tenth of the beings in the Demon Realm are incarnations of the Hun Tian Demon Lord, but three-tenths were created by the Creation Demon.

Of the remaining six-tenths, one-tenth were the Blood Demon race created by the Blood Demon, and the rest were native creatures born in the Demon Realm.

In the Demon Realm, only the Blood Demon and the Creation Demon are skilled in the Way of Creation!

Blood Demon naturally supports Xuan Yin.

However, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, the Creation Demon must also be incorporated into the Great Vehicle Demonic Path!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately nodded: "Leave this matter to me!"

"As for now—"

"Let's do what we can first!"

[The Joyful Demon Lord is favored by the very essence of the demon realm, capable of giving birth to a million demon fetuses at once!]

Within the Blood Demon Palace, the flow of time has increased a hundredfold. In just about three days, the demonic fetus conceived by the Joyful Demon Lord will be born in the Demon Realm!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yin inscribed a rule on the Joyful Demon Lord and used the power of the Law to alter the flow of time in the Blood Demon Palace.

Without hesitation, the Blood Demon transformed his own essence into streams of bloodline power and merged them into the demonic fetus being conceived by the Joyful Demon Lord.

The Soul-Stealing Demon Lord followed closely behind, diverting a portion of his soul power into these demonic embryos so that he could gain fortune through them.

Upon seeing this, the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, the Taixu Demon Lord, and the Huntian Demon Lord also used their supernatural powers to establish a causal relationship between themselves and the demonic fetus conceived by the Joyful Demon Lord.

Although the three of them could not directly participate in the gestation process of the demonic fetus like the Blood Demon, the Joyful Demon Lord, and the Soul-Stealing Demon Lord, they could still obtain a share of the demonic fetus's future fortune through this means.

Seeing that all six had established a karmic connection with the demonic fetus, Xuan Yin immediately nodded in satisfaction, and then used the power of the Law to inscribe a rule.

Those who obey me live, those who defy me perish!

This rule is similar to the Dragon-Man Annihilation Divine Power created by the Nine-Headed Clan, which would allow Xuan Yin to easily control the life and death of these demonic fetuses in the future.

Although he had not learned the Dragonman Annihilation, he had seen the even more powerful Ascending Man Annihilation Path, so it was not difficult for him to deduce a similar method!

Moreover, the rule he inscribed has a higher priority than that of the Joyful Demon Lord, the Blood Demon, the Soul-Stealing Demon Lord, and the Yin-Yang Demon Lord.

This rule applies to the true spirit of the demonic fetus, similar to the Divine Reversal Curse that Xuan Yin had seen, which even a saint could not easily break.

Even if these demonic fetuses eventually become Great Luo Immortals or Great Free Heavenly Demons, Xuan Yin can still use the rules to make them fall into the calamity of losing themselves.

Of course, there is also a slight possibility that these demonic embryos may transform into innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots!

Only by creating one's own demonic vein and using rules to fight against rules can one avoid perishing directly under the rule inscribed by Xuan Yin.

Of course, this possibility is unlikely. Even if the cultivation speed of the demonic path is fast, even if the wisdom of a certain demonic fetus is comparable to that of a top-level innate saint, it would take dozens or hundreds of eons to reach that point!

Even if a demonic fetus could truly reach this point, Xuan Yin would have already ascended to a higher level!

Xuan Yin's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner under the impetus of the Blood Demon Daoist.

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord and the Taixu Demon Lord have begun to target the solitary and aloof Great Freedom Demons in the Demon Realm!

The Demon Lord of Chaos seized this opportunity, took advantage of the situation, and used his demonic form to replace many of the native creatures born in the demon realm.

A large amount of primordial power was devoured and refined by the Joyful Demon Lord, who has now completely transformed into a mother nest that is constantly gestating demonic embryos.

Blood Demon Daoist and Soul-Seizing Demon Lord spend most of their time protecting Joy Demon Lord, but they also occasionally help Yin Yang Demon Lord and Tai Xu Demon Lord!

The Great Free Heavenly Demon is naturally not taken seriously by the Yin-Yang Demon Lord and the Great Void Demon Lord, but if he wants to make a move against the leader of a certain branch of the demonic path, he will need the help of the Blood Demon Daoist and the Soul-Seizing Demon Lord!

The Blood Demon is the strongest.

The Soul-Seizing Demon Lord, skilled in the art of manipulating the primordial spirit, is extremely suited to using underhanded tactics.

In just ten thousand years, the group quietly killed three powerful demonic cultivators, all of whom had barely reached the quasi-saint level.

But a Quasi-Saint is still a Quasi-Saint; he can provide more primordial power than the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

Xuan Yin, however, did not rush to pay homage to the Creation Demon. Instead, he first explained his plan to the incarnation of the Tongtian Sect Master, the Earthly Immortal.

Master Chedi had only one task: to keep an eye on the Primordial Heavenly Demon for him.

Only when the Primordial Demon King is preoccupied with other matters can his plan be successfully implemented!

During this time, Xuan Yin also used the Tianyuan Cauldron to help the Golden Spirit Mother refine the half of the Zhou Tian Star Tree into a primordial spiritual treasure.

【Star Crown】

Although it only has forty-five restrictions, which is only considered average among top-grade innate spiritual treasures, it can still provide great help to the Golden Spirit Mother.

Xuan Yin referenced the Nine-Colored Phoenix Crown of the Holy Mother Taiyuan to create this innate spiritual treasure. It can manifest illusory images of stars in the heavens to protect itself, and can also be used to enhance the Star Dao of the Holy Mother Jinling's cultivation!

If this treasure were in the primordial world, drawing upon the power of the stars, the Golden Spirit Mother, relying on the authority of Doumu, could mobilize at least 30% more star power.

Of course, that was in the primordial era!

The stars of the Demon Realm are not prominent. The four most brilliant stars, Luo, Ketu, Zi, and Yuebo, are all controlled by powerful demonic beings. Although Jinling Shengmu is a second-generation Doumu, she is unable to mobilize the power of these stars.

unless----

One day, the Golden Spirit Mother will be able to leave her own mark on these four demonic stars!

After doing all this, Xuan Yin quietly left the Blood Demon Palace to pay homage to the Creation Demon!

at the same time.

The struggle in the Primordial Realm did not subside after Xuan Yin's departure. After Xuan Yin and the Golden Spirit Mother were banished to the Demon Realm by the Primordial Heavenly Lord, the Tongtian Sect Leader took up his sword and stormed Mount Kunlun.

The entire fortune of the Chan Sect was directly reduced by 30% by the Tongtian Sect Master using his great sword magic!

Saints are immortal and indestructible, neither increasing nor decreasing. Even if the Tongtian Sect Master attained sainthood twice, he could not directly sever the Great Dao of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

As long as the Great Way endures, the sages will never die. To achieve this is already the limit!

After cutting off 30% of the Chan Sect's fortune, the Tongtian Sect Leader went to Shouyang Mountain and, without saying a word, sliced ​​off ten thousand feet of the mountain.

no way!

He did want to diminish the fortune of the Human Sect, but Taiqing Laozi's methods were far superior to Yuanshi Tianzun's, and his sword light could not even reach the fortune of the Human Sect.

Shearing off ten thousand feet of Shouyang Mountain to peel off a piece of Laozi's dough is already the limit!

Moreover, through the changes in the fortunes of the True Man of Thorough Earth, the Evil Corpse, and the Spirit Immortal lineage, he also knew that Xuan Yin and the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit were not only safe and sound, but had also killed the Holy Mother of Taiyuan, a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses.

Since the two of them hadn't suffered any losses, he was too lazy to cause any more trouble for Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun!

However, while he didn't cause trouble for the two, Emperor Donghua did try to sow discord among them. After using the Wangshu Divine Soul within the Wangshu Immortal Sword to guide the Moon Goddess Wangshu back, he couldn't wait to establish a separate immortal lineage.

The lineage of sword immortals!

The opponent chosen by Emperor Donghua was none other than Tai Ming Zhenren, with whom he had some connections!

To ensure everything went smoothly, Yuanshi Tianzun temporarily lent the Pangu Banner and the auspicious clouds of the heavens to Donghua Dijun, who wished to establish the Great Dao of Sword Immortal.

With the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure, and the Zhutian Qingyun, a rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao, Taiming Zhenren would naturally be no match for Donghua Dijun.

But he was unable to establish the lineage of sword immortals!

Just as the Sword Immortal Dao manifested, preparing to replace the Supreme Immortal Dao of Tai Ming Zhenren, it was directly destroyed by a single thought of the Tongtian Sect Master!

"What the hell?"

To this, the Tongtian Sect Leader only responded with one sentence: "I, a humble Daoist, have attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the Dao of Swords, yet I have not even established the Great Dao of Sword Immortal. How dare you, with your meager swordsmanship, establish any Great Dao of Sword Immortal?"

His meaning was very clear.

I aspire to establish the path of the Sword Immortal!

you can!

But it is necessary—

First, you must surpass him, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Sword Dao, in your swordsmanship. Otherwise, how could you be worthy of opening up the so-called Great Dao of Sword Immortal?

No one can argue with this reasoning!

after all----

The Tongtian Sect Leader is the number one swordsman in the Primordial True Realm. If the Donghua Emperor establishes the Great Dao of Sword Immortal, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to him, a Grand Luo Immortal of the Sword Dao?

And because of this incident, the Dao of Immortality preserved the position of the Nine Immortals of Hunyuan!

Then, it came to the affairs of the human race!

With Shennong's return, the power of the Lieshan Divine Dynasty has reached a new level. Both the Fuxi Divine Dynasty and the Jiuli Divine Dynasty have expressed their willingness to honor Shennong as the common ruler of the human race!

After Shennong returned, he did not remain idle. He not only cultivated the five grains and other things, but also nurtured various spiritual plants that could improve the prehistoric environment.

There are also Spirit Mushrooms that can nourish the earth's veins, Water Purifying Algae that can purify the water veins, and Sun-Burning Poison-Extinguishing Trees that can absorb toxic energy, and so on!

These spiritual plants inspired many humans to begin transforming the barren lands of the prehistoric world, such as the desolate mountains and wilderness in the southern part of the prehistoric world, which were covered with poisonous barriers.

Among them are the territory of the Panhu clan and the Daoist temple of King Pan—the Ten Thousand Mountains!

The Hundred Thousand Mountains are filled with poisonous energy, and only the Panhu clan, along with some poisonous insects and Gu worms, can survive in such an environment.

As the human race continued to develop the Hundred Thousand Mountains, more and more resources were discovered, including Ganoderma lucidum and other herbs suitable for refining elixirs, as well as some unmined immortal gold and divine iron suitable for crafting weapons.

Shennong discovered new medicinal herbs here, developed new elixirs, and passed on the method of turning poison into medicine to various human dynasties.

However, as the human race continued to penetrate deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, conflicts arose with the Panhu clan. The human race is now on the rise, with dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the Panhu clan is naturally no match for them.

Left with no other choice, the leader of the Panhu clan could only turn to their former ancestor, Panwang, who is now the ruler of the Plague Department in the Heavenly Court, for help!

Pan Wang was naturally furious!

However, he also knew that the rise of the human race was an inevitable trend of Heaven, so he dared not directly attack the human race. Instead, he went to Kunlun Mountain to seek an audience with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"It's alright!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, observing the birth and death of the Heavenly Dao rules, slowly spoke: "The great rise of the human race is a fact, but great rise is accompanied by calamities. The Heavenly Emperor's calamity is a calamity of heaven and earth, the Human Emperor's calamity is a calamity of war, and the Earthly Emperor's calamity is a calamity of plague! Only by breaking through the calamity can Shennong truly become the Earthly Emperor!"

"If that's not possible, inheriting the Great Dao of the Earth God will be the end of his path!"

In the original natural order of Heaven, the three emperors all faced tribulations when they attained enlightenment. These tribulations were not caused by the intervention of sages, but were naturally generated by Heaven and Earth!

When Fuxi ruled the human race, natural disasters were frequent, which led to the creation of the Primordial Eight Trigrams, allowing the human race to avoid calamities through them.

When Shennong ruled over the human race, there were no natural disasters, but there were epidemics. That's why Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to solve the source of the epidemics that plagued the human race.

Although the overall trend of the Heavenly Dao has changed in this era, the calamities that are due will still occur, and only in the midst of calamities will there be an opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun planned to send Panwang to complete Shennong's tribulations, which could be considered as a lesson to Shennong for his previous disobedience.

Shennong will either break free from the tribulation and become the Earthly Sovereign, or he will be struck down to the mortal realm by the tribulation!

"I see!"

Hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Panwang was overjoyed: "As long as I go along with the calamity, this calamity may become Shennong's opportunity to attain enlightenment, or it may allow my cultivation to advance further!"

"Let's see who has the greater skill, Shennong or this humble Taoist, and who will have the last laugh."

If Shennong cannot break the calamity he has brought down, then he can seize a portion of the fortune belonging to the protagonist of heaven and earth from Shennong.

However, if Shennong breaks his tribulation, he may face the reckoning of human karma.

"That's right!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded: "You may act freely. Even if you are ultimately outmatched—this humble Daoist will still step in to save your life!"
