Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 204 Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark

The Moon, lonely and cold.

The chilling aura has remained from time immemorial to the present day.

The bright moon shines on the world at all times, casting its moonlight.

Like the sun, it shines eternally upon the world, high above, supreme and noble.

An aura of immortality permeated the air, and in Li Changsheng's world, a bright moon was added.

The most ancient intertwining of Yin and Yang far surpasses the Yin Way he had previously comprehended.

With the sun and moon in harmony, his world seemed to gain new vitality.

This is not his own endless vitality, but the vitality that comes from the evolution of the sun and moon.

The interplay of the sun and moon, the generation of yin and yang, gave rise to all living things.

Li Changsheng wields the power of the sun and moon, making him seem like the master of all living beings, controlling everything about them.

The Four Seas True Dragon runes also flowed throughout his body, and his body was covered with dense patterns.

  

An ancient, oppressive aura permeated the air, a blend of the might of a dragon and the oppressive power of the moon and sun.

With the blessing of six ancient runes, Li Changsheng's body and soul are undergoing a transformation, and he once again senses the Heavenly Dao of the immortals and gods.

Unfortunately, it still made him feel uneasy, and he dared not investigate further.

The Yin and Yang energies permeated the sky, and the sun and moon shone together. As the patterns moved, he had a unique feeling.

That is the connection between the sun and the moon in the sky!

It was as if he were the sun and moon, able to summon the terrifying power of the two stars at any time.

An ancient, sacred aura intensified, as if an ancient deity had been resurrected in this era.

Yin and Yang flow, calamities rage across the four seas, and all sorts of immortal and divine paths flow within the body.

Li Changsheng was completely immersed in it, manipulating various patterns and mastering them.

The demonic seed within Yang Dingtian's body once again provided him with information about the Sun Sacred Mark, giving him a deeper understanding of the Way of the Sun.

Penglai Immortal Island is closed, and has once again entered seclusion.

Meanwhile, the outside world underwent a dramatic change.

The Shang Dynasty did not choose to hand over the eight Sun Birds, and the Crocodile Clan, led by Yang Wushang, attacked the Shang Dynasty.

I thought that Dashang could hold on for a while.

However, in the very first exchange of blows, a large number of the gods of the Shang Dynasty were killed.

The territory was also occupied by the Crocodile Clan, and the eight Sun Birds dared not fight.

The King was furious and summoned his holy sons and daughters, and also sent a message to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

The Four Dragon Kings provided immediate support, joining forces with eight Sun Birds to rout the Crocodile Clan army.

But then, Yang Wushang personally took action, and the Third Under Heaven and his group fled.

The Four Dragon Kings suffered heavy losses, and their holy sons and daughters were forced to use their trump cards to save their lives. If it weren't for the trump cards bestowed upon them by their powerful backers, they would all have died at Yang Wushang's hands.

Their cultivation levels are too weak to fight against Yang Wushang.

At this moment, these geniuses truly witnessed the power of the Sun Bird.

Compared to Yang Wushang, the other Sun Birds are simply useless!

They also recalled that those sun birds had boasted that their eldest brother was exceptionally talented, and it wasn't a lie!

But now, they couldn't understand why these sun birds were fighting with their elder brother.

Before they could find out the reason, one of the sun birds died from its severe injuries.

The other sun birds were also in seclusion healing their wounds.

Upon hearing this news, everyone believed that Yang Wushang had no regard for family ties.

Even brothers can be killed!

Ao Qing had been to Penglai, but seeing that Li Changsheng was in seclusion, he did not disturb him and could only continue to Da Shang.

He also knew that even if Li Changsheng came out of seclusion, he would not be able to fight against Yang Wushang.

Yang Wushang's strength has surpassed the Yang God Realm and is at a higher level.

Rumor has it that a Taoist master went to find Yang Wushang, but in the end, nothing came of it.

Yang Wushang continued to lead his army to conquer the Shang Dynasty, and the Shang army suffered repeated defeats.

The difference is too big!

At this moment, Wutian intervened, blocking the army and provoking Yang Wushang.

As a result, Wutian suffered a severe injury. If Sun Chengdao had not suddenly appeared and rescued him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Although Wutian possessed great talent, his cultivation time was ultimately too short. Even with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he was not powerful enough.

The king had no choice but to sue for peace.

But Yang Wushang does not accept peace negotiations; what he wants is the entire Shang Dynasty!

Of the remaining seven sun birds, two more perished, reportedly assassinated by Yang Wushang's men.

Only they themselves and Qingtian know the specifics of how they met their demise.

Despite the defeat of the Shang dynasty, it continued to resist with its forces. Unable to seek peace, it had no choice but to fight; surrender was out of the question!

Even Qingtian, inside the royal palace, almost couldn't resist taking action.

But she can't make a move yet. If she were to fight Yang Wushang, she would need to unleash her full power.

Time flies, and in just thirty years, one-tenth of the Shang Dynasty's territory has fallen.

The demon race also ran rampant within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Su Ling'er entered the Great Shang Dynasty and, in her prestigious title as the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, commanded all demons not to disturb the Central Plains.

As a result, no demon was willing to listen to her.

The ancient crocodile clan, the Taiyin Heavenly Wolf, proclaimed that the era of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor had passed, and now it was the era of Yang Wushang.

The Sun Bird attacked again, but suffered another heavy blow, with two more birds falling.

Of the eight sun birds, only three remain.

The Sun Birds returned to the Shang Dynasty to recuperate, and the Human King bestowed resources upon them to help them heal.

Not long after, in the capital of the Shang Dynasty, the three sun birds began to fight each other.

The third strongest in the world displayed immense power, directly suppressing two sun birds.

Just when the third-ranked player in the world thought he had victory in the bag, Wutian stepped in to help, buying the two sun birds time to escape.

The third-ranked man in the world went mad and wanted to kill the two brothers.

Wutian exposed the ruthless face of the Third Under Heaven on the spot, revealing that the Sun Bird that had fallen earlier was all the work of the Third Under Heaven.

He secretly devoured his own brothers to refine his bloodline and enhance his cultivation.

These words shocked the Central Plains. It was said that Yang Wushang vomited blood on the spot, angered by the third-ranked person in the world!

How could he do that to his own brother!

Having devoured five brothers, he possessed the third-highest strength in the world, surpassing the Yang God realm and achieving the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

He escaped the Shang Dynasty and survived the tribulation of lightning.

Yang Wushang personally pursued and killed him, and the third-ranked warrior in the world fled in a sorry state.

Even if he achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, he would not dare to face Yang Wushang.

Hearing that he was the third strongest in the world, he wanted to escape to the Eastern Continent, but the senior Taoist masters wouldn't let him go.

To survive, the third-ranked person in the world entered the demonic path and joined the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

The Primordial Demons don't care about being the third strongest in the world; they are inherently ruthless, cruel, and utterly cunning.

Yang Wushang led his troops to conquer the Tai Shi Heavenly Demon, but was blocked by two major demonic forces. Although he killed dozens of demons, he was unable to catch up with the third-ranked demon in the world.

The two sun birds that escaped entered the Netherworld and sought refuge in the Nine Netherworlds.

Yang Wushang led his troops to attack Youming and fought a battle with Jiuyouming in the sky. The outcome was unknown, but both sides retreated to their respective territories and let their armies fight.

With the help of the Netherworld to share the burden, the Shang Dynasty was able to catch its breath.

The holy sons and daughters of the various saints are also frantically honing their skills, hoping to improve as soon as possible so that they can fight against Yang Wushang.

Wu Tian then returned to the Great Snow Mountain to cultivate in seclusion.

Thus, the three powers of the Central Plains were in a tripartite balance, with the Shang dynasty still being the weakest.

Yang Wushang single-handedly faced two major forces without being at a disadvantage.

It seemed that Jiuyouming was also powerless against Yang Wushang, so he did not go out to cause trouble for Yang Wushang again.

Meanwhile, the ancient crocodile clan ordered the pursuit and killing of Su Ling'er.

Su Ling'er was being chased everywhere and had no choice but to seek help from Wu Tian.

Wutian's actions killed many members of the Crocodile Clan and the Taiyin Heavenly Wolf, which led to the appearance of Yang Wushang.

Another battle ensued, and in the end, Sun Chengdao intervened and rescued them from Yang Wushang's clutches.

But this time, Sun Chengdao also suffered a heavy blow.

For the first time, Sun Chengdao's Heavenly Sacred Embryo suffered a setback.

The entire Central Plains were almost entirely under the oppressive aura of Yang Wushang.

The power of the Sun Bird was displayed to its fullest extent by Yang Wushang.

Helpless, Wutian led Sun Chengdao and Su Ling'er to hide in the Netherworld, where they could also devote themselves to studying the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Yang Wushang was virtually unstoppable, finding no equal.

Many geniuses in the Central Plains seemed to have returned to the era when the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor was still alive.

That era when one person suppressed all geniuses, leaving them in despair!

Meanwhile, the other ancient demon clans also emerged from the shadows one after another.

Some joined the Holy Sun Demon Kingdom established by Yang Wushang directly, while others established their own demon kingdoms.

The two great demonic paths once again set foot on the Central Plains, and an ancient demon descended, establishing a demon kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, people from the Western Buddhist community came again. Monks spread Buddhist teachings and established a Buddhist kingdom on earth, spanning thousands of miles.

Another prodigy from the Taoist sect returned from the Eastern Continent, ready to subdue demons with his sword.

Each of these powerful individuals far surpasses the Yang God realm.

The rule previously established by the Taoist sect that those above the Yang Shen level were not allowed to enter the Central Plains was completely broken at this moment.

The restrictions on Sun Chengdao were also lifted, allowing him to unleash his full power.

The change came too suddenly, and the Four Dragon Kings once again humbled themselves and returned to the North Sea to ask Li Changsheng to come out of seclusion.

"Brother, the world has changed."

The Four Dragon Kings rushed in in a panic, startling Li Changsheng, who was in seclusion.

"What's wrong?"

Li Changsheng asked in confusion, "How has the world changed?"

"The cultivators from the Eastern Continent are starting to return," Ao Qing said in a deep voice.

"They're back?" Li Changsheng was taken aback. "How did they get back?"

"This matter begins with Yang Wushang..."

Ao Qing told Yang Dingtian everything. Upon hearing that his brothers had died, Yang Dingtian's vision went black and he fainted.

This blow was too much for him to bear!

"I didn't expect that the Daoist sect would not let Yang Wushang leave, but instead lifted the restrictions," Li Changsheng said, frowning.

Ao Qing said in a deep voice, "Yes, news has spread from the Netherworld that Master Wutian has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top."

"What exactly are the Daoist sect's plans?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Brother, I went to see the royal army and received very bad news," Ao Qing said in a deep voice.

"What news?" Li Changsheng frowned, feeling uneasy.

"According to Wang Shi, it seems that the Taoist sect is about to usher in an era of slaughter."

Ao Qing said heavily, "They will bring back the Eastern Continent, and even the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, to fight in the Central Plains. This time, they will not rely on their elders, but only on themselves."

"Has the Daoist sect gone mad? With the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor back, are these geniuses enough to kill?" Li Changsheng's expression changed drastically, and he said incredulously.

"The royal army also said some inexplicable things, saying that time was running out and that the three holy lands also supported the plan, but they had to guarantee that the Shang Dynasty would not perish."

Ao Qing said, "Therefore, the Three Holy Lands have also compromised. Whoever wins, the Great Shang will submit to them and be recognized as the ruler of the world!"

Li Changsheng was shocked upon hearing this. Did he know what the Great Shang Dynasty represented, being from the Three Holy Lands?

That's for repairing the heavens and the earth!

The blue sky unites with the Dao of Heaven and Earth!

There's only one possibility that could force the Three Holy Lands to compromise—a catastrophe of heaven and earth!

Only when a great calamity is about to befall the world would the Daoist sect go to such lengths to initiate a killing spree, select the strongest geniuses, and nurture them with all their might to become true immortals!

They need an invincible immortal to lead the entire world to find a way out.

The Daoist sect chose Sun Chengdao, but now, too many geniuses have emerged.

Leaving aside the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, Yang Wushang and Jiu Youming, who were resurrected in ancient times, are all top-tier beings.

Their natural talents are no less than those of Sun Chengdao, who possessed the Heavenly Embryo!

This is a brilliant era in which geniuses rise together!

But it was also a cruel era!

Because in this era, there are not many true immortals who can be born. Even if the heavens were to mend the world, it would be impossible for too many to be born.

In other words, many more geniuses, even the most holy sons and daughters, will be abandoned!

"We will close off the four seas and not participate in this war!" Li Changsheng said in a deep voice. "You wait for the dragon clans of the four seas to return. I will then go into seclusion to cultivate and will not participate in this great world."

"Brother, if you are willing, the entire world can concentrate its resources to nurture you." Ao Qing said in a deep voice, "This is the Ancestor's will."

"I'm not the type to fight, and I don't have that kind of talent," Li Changsheng said, shaking his head.

Those who are family know their own affairs. Don't be fooled by his supposed mastery of the Dao of the True Dragon and his supposed understanding of the Yin and Yang.

This is all thanks to the original Tree of Immortality, which is able to contain these ancient patterns.

Without the Longevity Saint Mark, he would be completely lost.

Even if it can contain holy runes, so what?

His cultivation progressed slowly, and although his supernatural abilities were quite powerful, it was impossible for him to fight against geniuses of higher levels.

Don't they even look at the monsters of this era?

Yang Wushang, who claims to be the second best in the world, is the sage of heaven and earth, Sun Chengdao, who is boundless in the cycle of reincarnation and the unfathomable depths of the Nine Netherworlds...

Anyone you randomly pick would run as fast as they can.

Unless, he unleashes the world of sixty-five leaves.

But if this thing is used, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor will definitely search the whole world for him.

"When will the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor return?" Li Changsheng asked.

"We don't know yet. The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor is too strong. The Daoist sect won't let her return at this time," Ao Qing said in a deep voice.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor has fought against Dao Integration Realm cultivators before. If she were to return now, these people might not be enough for her to kill.

"Let's wait and see. We, the Four Seas, should not interfere. If they come knocking, we should be patient," Li Changsheng instructed.

"I understand, we at Sihai have endured this more than once or twice," Ao Qing said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, but he was helpless.

He has already figured out the true path of the dragon, but he is still far from being as good as those top geniuses.

"By the way, brother, the Ancestor has decided to pass on the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark to you," Ao Qing said.

"The Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark?" Li Changsheng was taken aback, looking at Ao Qing in surprise.

Ao Qing said, "That's right. If you can comprehend the patterns of the Four Seas True Dragon, then you might also be able to comprehend the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Pattern. At that time, it's not impossible for you to overpower Yang Wushang."
