Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 208 Brothers Without Heart

The ten brothers of yesteryear are now either dead or scattered.

Yang Dingtian sighed deeply, his heart heavy with sorrow. He longed for the days before the dust settled.

If it weren't for the unresolved issues, perhaps the brothers wouldn't have broken up.

He sent a message to Yang Wushang, and went ahead to the Great Snow Mountain to wait.

Li Changsheng merged into the void and followed Yang Dingtian to the Great Snow Mountain, where he watched from the shadows.

He also hoped that Yang Dingtian would help him comprehend the yin-yang evolution of chaos. If he had no other choice, he would have to take action and save Yang Dingtian from Yang Wushang's clutches.

As long as I don't reveal my identity and don't kill Yang Dingtian directly, those old monsters shouldn't pay any attention to me.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

If Yang Wushang remembered the kindness shown when the seal was lifted, he wouldn't have tried to kill Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian stood atop the snow-capped mountain, his body radiating intense heat, gazing out at the wind and snow between heaven and earth.

About fifteen minutes later, the temperature suddenly soared, the wind and snow dissipated, and the surrounding snow began to melt.

High in the sky, Yang Wushang, dressed in a golden robe, appeared from the void.

Before anyone arrived, the ancient, oppressive power of the sun had already set.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety, and bowed respectfully: "Big Brother."

"Since you still call me elder brother, you should have come to find me sooner, instead of contacting me now." Yang Wushang's voice was cold, but his gaze towards him softened. "Not bad, Taiyi of Penglai, although he doesn't have much skill, has indeed improved you considerably."

Yang Dingtian sighed softly and said, "Master is extremely capable. He invited my elder brother here today because there is something he wants to discuss with him."

  

"I also have something to discuss with you," Yang Wushang said. "You and I are brothers. Now that I am the Demon Emperor, you should enter the Demon Kingdom to assist me. I have also reserved a throne for you."

"Eldest brother," Yang Dingtian sighed and shook his head, "Tenth brother could never enter the demon kingdom. Now, brothers are either dead or scattered. Tenth brother only wants to understand why second brother would ambush eldest brother. How did we brothers come to this?"

"Second Brother? You still call him Second Brother?" Yang Wushang's eyes turned icy cold: "Remember this, that beast is not your Second Brother. He's just a greedy, self-serving animal!"

"Blinded by profit?" Yang Dingtian was shocked: "What profit?"

"Now you are almost on par with Kunpeng. If you improve a little more, you will also be qualified to compete with me."

Yang Wushang said indifferently, "I'll tell you now, back then we sealed it away, and the Demon Emperor also sealed the Sun Treasure. The method to unlock it is in my hands..."

"Back then, your second brother overheard this matter, but I didn't take it seriously. Instead, I said that the key to unlocking it was the Sun Immortal Sword."

"That beast dared to ambush me while I was sealed away, and steal the Sun Immortal Sword! If it hadn't been sealed away in time, I would have killed him long ago!"

Even a severely injured Yang Wushang is not someone the third strongest in the world can contend with.

After being sealed away, the Third Under Heaven dared not unseal Yang Wushang and wanted to open the Sun Treasure as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, even the third-best person in the world who obtained the Sun Immortal Sword did not know how to unlock the Sun Treasure.

The true method to unlock it is known only to Yang Wushang!

"I see." Yang Dingtian smiled wryly, looking at the melting snow around him.

Even the endless snow cannot chill my heart as it does right now.

For the sake of the Sun Treasure, they secretly attacked their elder brother, who was their closest relative!

"After you lifted my seal, the second prince dared not leave the Great Shang again, because he feared me!"

Yang Wushang said coldly, "In order to deal with me, he devoured his other brothers to improve himself. That's all there is to it."

Yang Dingtian fell silent; at this moment, he was utterly disheartened.

Unexpectedly, brotherhood would lose to the treasure of the sun.

"Your current strength is no less than that of the second prince," Yang Wushang said indifferently. "I may bestow upon you the title of king to assist me in killing the second prince and unifying this era."

Yang Dingtian stared at him blankly: "Brother, do you still believe in Xiao Shi now?"

"If you lift my seal, I will naturally trust you." Yang Wushang stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly: "I promised you the throne. As long as you are obedient, I will not mistreat you."

"Obey me?" Yang Dingtian chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Before, I listened to everything my elder brother said, but now, I don't want to anymore."

"Hmm? You're going to betray me too?" Yang Wushang's eyes turned cold, and his oppressive aura intensified in the void.

The entire snow-capped mountain was shaking, and even the void was distorting.

A terrifying pressure enveloped Yang Dingtian, whose body was emanating the power of the Yin and Yang energies. Although the pressure was not as great as that of Yang Wushang, it was still enough to withstand it.

Seeing this, Yang Wushang withdrew his oppressive aura and showed admiration: "Not bad, you have really grown up now."

Yang Dingtian remained silent. "Have you grown up yet?"

Yes, in the past, I, along with my other older brothers, were all children in my eldest brother's eyes.

A child who needs his older brother's protection!

Even without his elder brother, he has survived all these years, although the early years were miserable, when he was used as a laborer by his master.

But he persevered through it all, successfully became an apprentice, learned the Way of Yin and Yang, and even gained insights into the sacred runes of Yin and Yang, which led to a leap in his strength.

Even now, I'm only slightly inferior to top geniuses like Kunpeng; if I can't beat them, I can retreat.

Even when you're all alone, you can still live a carefree life!

"I have said that you are now qualified to compete. Since you are unwilling to be king, then come and find me when you feel that you are strong enough."

Yang Wushang's words were devoid of any emotion and extremely cold: "In this era, only one strong person will be chosen. If you can defeat me, I will surely give you the Sun Treasure."

"Brother, I never thought about the Sun Treasure." Yang Dingtian's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained, "I just wanted to see you, brother. I never thought about the treasure."

"Whether you've thought about it or not, you know perfectly well," Yang Wushang sneered. "My words are always valid. When you are strong enough, you can come and compete for it."

"Brother, how can you be so sure that I need the Sun Treasure?" Yang Dingtian was anxious; he really hadn't thought about wanting the Sun Treasure.

"The desires in one's heart will always swell with the increase in strength."

Yang Wushang slowly walked up to him, looking directly at his own brother: "Dingtian, I ask you, have you come to see me today because you want something?"

"I, I..." Yang Dingtian opened his mouth, but for a moment, he couldn't say anything. He did indeed have a request.

Yang Wushang understood, but instead of getting angry, he calmly said, "That's how it should be. Whatever you want, whatever I have, I can give you, as repayment for lifting the seal."

"Brother, I..." Yang Dingtian opened his mouth, but the words wouldn't come out.

"If you don't even dare to speak up, your elder brother will be very disappointed."

Yang Wushang said coldly, "You are a descendant of the Sun Demon Emperor, so just say what you want!"

Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Wushang with a complicated expression: "Big brother, are you really going to be so heartless? I only want the complete Taiyin Sacred Rune, and I have never thought about the feelings of unsealing it. In my opinion, you are the big brother, and it is only right for you to unseal it."

"Heartless? I've long been heartless, so how can I be heartless?" Yang Wushang sneered, flicked his finger, and a golden light entered Yang Dingtian's body: "I'll give you the Taiyin Sacred Mark, and I'll give you time to cultivate. If you don't come to me, I'll kill you anyway."

"Brother, you've changed. We shouldn't be like this. I never intended to compete with you..."

"Shut up! Your weak appearance only brings me shame!"

Yang Wushang said coldly, "Remember this: from this day forward, the lineage of the Sun Demon Emperor has no brothers, only enemies!"

"I don't want it to be like this," Yang Dingtian said sadly.

He only wanted harmony among his brothers, and even though their brotherhood had long since soured, he didn't want them to kill each other anymore.

He could kill the third-ranked person in the world, because the second-ranked person was indeed a scoundrel, but he couldn't bring himself to attack Yang Wushang.

"In this era, there can only be one strong one! And there can only be one Sun Bird!"

Yang Wushang uttered a cold remark, then transformed into a golden light and departed from the snow mountain.

"Brother, you never considered my feelings at all. I never thought of competing with you, never had any other thoughts..."

Yang Dingtian roared almost like a thunderclap, his voice resounding through the heavens and earth, shaking the wind and snow.

But Yang Wushang has already gone and will never return; it is unknown whether he heard this.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, manifested himself, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go back to Penglai."

The ten brothers' relationship has now completely broken down.

He pondered Yang Wushang's words carefully; Yang Wushang should be aware of those old monsters' plans.

There can only be one strong one!

This slaughter has only just begun. The end will only come when the strongest is chosen.

Li Changsheng didn't know who would emerge victorious in this era, but he was certain that he would not be the victor.

He was well aware of the difference in natural talent.

After returning to Penglai Island with Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian was still recovering from his heartbreak.

Yang Wushang's words chilled him to the bone.

He also felt an unprecedented loneliness, having lost all his loved ones at that moment.

Li Changsheng sighed, "Cultivate diligently, and when you become the Chaos Sun Bird, use your strength to defeat your elder brother."

"Even if we defeat our elder brother, what then?" Yang Dingtian sighed.

"After you defeat your older brother, tell him that you never thought about the Sun Treasure. That will be more convincing than your current self."

Li Changsheng said calmly.

Yang Dingtian replied, "This disciple understands, but I have no comprehension of the Dao of Chaos. How can I possibly surpass you, elder brother?"

"Even if we, master and disciple, fail to research the Chaos Dao and fuse the complete Taiyin Sacred Runes, you may not be weaker than your elder brother if we work together," Li Changsheng said.

Yang Dingtian sighed, "This disciple still does not want to fight with elder brother. In that case, this disciple would rather avoid seeing him."

"You can't just watch your older brother perish, can you?" Li Changsheng retorted.

Yang Dingtian was taken aback: "Who in the world could kill my elder brother?"

"In this day and age, your eldest brother seems to be number one, unmatched by anyone."

Li Changsheng said calmly, "But is he really number one? Putting aside my own master, Jiu Youming has never used his full strength. And what about the others? Could they join forces against your elder brother?"

"Even if your elder brother can sweep aside today's geniuses, what about the geniuses of the Eastern Continent? What about when the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor returns?"

"My older brother..."

Yang Dingtian looked solemn. He still couldn't figure out how to fight against the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

The Three Thousand Worlds Law is simply outrageous!

Moreover, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor had also comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and his comprehension was truly extraordinary.

"Work hard in your cultivation. In the future, when you have enough strength, you might be able to save your elder brother." Li Changsheng patted his shoulder, giving him the motivation to work hard in his cultivation.

Judging from this, Yang Dingtian still cherishes brotherly feelings.

Yang Wushang could utter heartless words, but Yang Dingtian could not do them.

But this also serves as his motivation for cultivation.

As long as one diligently cultivates and studies the Way of Chaos, one's efforts in nurturing him will not be in vain.

As for the future, if possible, it is not impossible to save Yang Wushang's life, provided that Yang Wushang knows what is good and bad.

"Master, I understand." Yang Dingtian nodded emphatically.

He didn't want Yang Wushang to perish, and he thought that Yang Wushang might have been provoked by the third-ranked person in the world.

If Yang Wushang could feel the brotherly affection, perhaps things would change.

Looking at Yang Dingtian, who listened to advice, Li Changsheng sighed softly, still somewhat naive and simple-minded.

Having obtained the Taiyin Sacred Rune, Li Changsheng also began seclusion to refine the complete Taiyin Sacred Rune.

Before going into seclusion, he also sent a telepathic message to Ao Qing, asking him to remember to send a telepathic message if there was any news about Sun Chengdao and Wutian.

He went into seclusion again to refine the complete Taiyin Sacred Runes.

A solitary, yin aura permeated the entire body.

That feeling of being supreme and feeling lonely at the top captivated Li Changsheng.

Once again, I saw the Great Dao that pierced through the starry sky. Like the Sun Bird, the Moon Bird was an existence that had taken the Great Dao of Yin to its extreme.

The ancient holy embryos are not ordinary immortals or gods; before their cultivation, they were also top-tier immortals and gods.

This can be seen from the true dragon runes and ancient sacred symbols.

The difference between the Four Seas True Dragon and the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark is not just a little bit.

As the Taiyin Sacred Runes were perfected, Li Changsheng's foundation became increasingly profound, and his demonic essence became even more abundant.

Unfortunately, the aura of immortals and gods still did not increase, which was due to his own cultivation level.

Because it contains the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark and the complete Sun Sacred Mark, its body and soul have already undergone a transformation, making it easier to forge.

A terrifying aura of Yin flowed through his body, making him appear like a Yin deity.

His sixty-sixth leaf is also beginning to take shape, already forming the prototype of a world, and is not far from being successfully refined.

Time passed in seclusion, and in the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed. Li Changsheng finally finished refining the Taiyin Sacred Runes.

He looked at the message; twenty years ago, Ao Qing had sent him a message containing news about Sun Chengdao and Wutian.

A human and a demon emerged from the Immortal Demon Kingdom, their strength increasing rapidly, and sought revenge against Kunpeng.

This time, Kunpeng was severely injured and fled in a sorry state.

Not long after, relics were also sent from the Eastern Continent, and geniuses from all over the world fought each other.

Sun Chengdao and Wutian obtained a treasure in the ruins, but were besieged and severely injured.

This time, they were pushed into the Netherworld, where they were protected by the Nine Netherworlds.

The other geniuses also went to the Netherworld, hoping that the Nine Netherworld would hand them over.

But none of them gained anything; unable to defeat the Nine Netherworld, they could only retreat.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, told Yang Dingtian to cultivate diligently, and then left Penglai.

They vanished in a flash of light, arriving in the Netherworld, where the Netherworld energy still shrouded the sky and blocked out the sun.

Li Changsheng bowed and said, "I am a Taoist from Penglai Island, paying my respects to my fellow Taoist from the Nine Netherworlds."
