Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 250 The Great Calamity Approaches, A Replay of One's Own Fate

Five hundred years later.

"They did everything they could to the best of their ability."

Li Changsheng flipped through his own record of immortality and made his evaluation.

"In this era, only you can be so leisurely." Yang Wushang floated beside him, gazing at the sky: "This time, it is I who have retreated."

"Even if you're here, you can't change anything," Li Changsheng said, shaking his head.

"When do we begin?" Yang Wushang asked.

"Once I have met Wuyou, we will go to the vicinity of Guixu to evolve ourselves."

Li Changsheng stood up and said, "After many years, I will surely return, with a completely new look!"

"I look forward to that day," Yang Wushang said.

Li Changsheng recalled Yang Wushang to the world, and created an avatar to travel to the former site of the Changsheng Demon Kingdom.

Upon arriving at the former site of the Immortal Demon Kingdom, one finds a restriction left behind by the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Sensing his presence, the void distorted; the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor had returned.

The empty palace now only has the two of them left.

"I will relive my own life," Li Changsheng said.

"I am also prepared. I will surely return when you awaken." A stream of light appeared at the fingertips of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor: "This is all the sacred runes and supreme scriptures in the world, all of them are for you."

The Three Heavenly Daoist Scriptures, the Three Great Daoist Venerable Scriptures, the Amitabha Buddha Scripture, and the Ancient Demon Saint Embryo Scripture were all handed over to Li Changsheng.

"You once asked me how long a long life is."

Li Changsheng said calmly.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor nodded: "Yes, I want to know what realm I need to reach before I can wait for your awakening and return."

  

"I don't know either."

Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "We made a ten-thousand-year pact before, let's make it again."

"How long will this take?" Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor asked.

"Ten thousand years!" Li Changsheng looked up at the sky: "Ten thousand years later, if you don't come back, I will enter the starry sky and search for you across the entire cosmos."

"I'm afraid I won't live to be 100,000 years old. Even a true immortal's lifespan is only 15,000 years," sighed the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Li Changsheng took the storage bag from his waist and handed it to Liu Wuyou: "This is for you and Chengdao and the others. It contains six immortal peaches, each of which can extend your lifespan by 100,000 years."

"A lifespan of ten thousand years?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically. "Where did you get this? There's no way such a peach could exist in this world!"

"That blood-red demon tree gave me this, and I also ate one, which is why I dared to rebuild myself," Li Changsheng said.

"Six pills, ten thousand years..." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor gripped the storage bag tightly and asked, "Where are Xian'er and Yu'er?"

Li Changsheng sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't have that many."

He could only apologize to Bai Xian'er, Ao Yu, and Xia Yanbing.

Although they all had some connection, Li Changsheng didn't pay much attention to them.

These six immortal peaches were already quite risky; they represented the limit of what he was willing to give up.

Li Changsheng's figure disappeared, but the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor did not stop him. Instead, he said, "I will definitely return within 100,000 years."

After saying that, he left with the peaches.

Li Changsheng returned to the residence and left with Yang Wushang.

He arrived at the edge of the Ruins of Return, looked at this bottomless abyss, pondered for a moment, and then turned into a grain of soil, drifting down to the edge of the Ruins of Return.

Once a true immortal breaks in, he will immediately retreat into the Void to seek a way out.

He called out to Yang Wushang, his expression solemn: "I'm ready, are you?"

"I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for you," Yang Wushang said with a smile.

"Then let's begin." Li Changsheng took out a peach brimming with vitality and said, "This peach can extend your life by 100,000 years. In the early stages, I will help you guide the laws, and once you are able to nurture it on your own, I will stop."

"Thank you. When I awaken in the future, I will certainly honor you as the Dao Ancestor!" Yang Wushang said solemnly.

Li Changsheng smiled, said nothing more, and let Yang Wushang stay by his side, turning into soil to nurture him together.

The laws of immortals and gods guide us, and the principles of Yin and Yang give birth to the supreme Yang.

Li Changsheng also began to gestate, drawing upon the power of the Great Dao and integrating it into his own chaotic energy to strengthen the chaos.

The Great Dao returns to One, evolving into Chaos!

Recreate yourself, seize the creation of heaven and earth!

The boundless power of the Great Dao enveloped the Land of Return to Nothingness, causing Yang Wushang to fall into a deep slumber, while Li Changsheng still retained a portion of his consciousness.

Stop paying attention to the outside world and focus on nurturing yourself.

Meanwhile, the outside world...

The Heavenly Heart Demon Queen divided the Immortal Peach among Wutian and the others, and she and the Five Great Saints each received one.

A lifespan of 100,000 years!

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor sealed off the surroundings and said, "This is a great calamity of heaven and earth. If we cannot withstand it, then we shall all leave."

"Demon Emperor, we understand." Wutian said in a deep voice, "As long as we live, there is hope. If we cannot stop them, we will leave and return within 100,000 years."

"No matter what happens in the future, no matter where we are, within 100,000 years, we will return to this world and welcome the return of immortality!" the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor solemnly declared.

"Don't worry, Demon Emperor, within 100,000 years, I will definitely surpass the True Immortal, return to this world, and welcome my master!" Sun Chengdao said firmly.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said, "The ten thousand-year agreement means that once Changsheng emerges from seclusion, we will no longer need to be separated, and he need not worry about becoming a burden to us."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and the Five Great Saints made a pact.

No matter where we are in the future, we will surely return and reunite in this world.

"Demon Emperor".

An anxious call came from behind; it was the voice of Daoist Taiyi.

"Taiyi, what is it?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor let him in.

Taiyi said solemnly, "There are more True Immortals than expected, a full thirty. The formation won't hold for long. At the latest, it will be broken in eight hundred years."

"Eight hundred years?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor frowned and said, "Send down the order: all Heavenly Court officials, return to your posts. I am going to take the initiative."

"Taking the initiative?" Immortal Taiyi was taken aback, not expecting the Demon Emperor to choose to take the initiative.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly, "Rather than waiting to die, we might as well take the initiative and fight!"

"We are willing to follow the Demon Emperor and take the initiative to attack," Wutian said. "We still have a great defensive formation and an opportunity to take the initiative. Once they break the formation, we won't even have that chance."

"That's right. We have the great formation behind us, so they can't break through it for a while, and they can't do anything to us." Sun Chengdao agreed.

Taiyi pondered for a moment and said, "I will go and give the order to follow the Demon Emperor into battle."

In today's world, there are no more true immortal resources left, unless one plunders the origin of heaven.

But their purpose was to prevent the true immortals from plundering the origin of heaven, so how could they plunder it themselves?

Following the order from the Immortal Taiyi, all celestial officials returned to their posts and reinforced the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor led the cultivators into the formation, turning their gaze towards the group of True Immortals who wanted to break through it.

These true immortals were not all of one group; they were divided into different small groups.

The smallest group had only three members!

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor did not choose the three True Immortals, but instead set his sights on the group with the largest number of members.

Seven True Immortals!

Following the gaze of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, the immortals exclaimed in astonishment: "Demon Emperor, you wouldn't be thinking of choosing the most, would you?"

"Why not?" the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly, "Three True Immortals are enough to establish a foothold among them, but these True Immortals require seven. Isn't that obvious?"

The immortals were taken aback.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor continued, "If they weren't strong enough, they would have been eaten long ago. How could they have survived until now?"

"We will follow the Demon Emperor's arrangements," Jiu Youming solemnly replied.

All the cultivators of the Heavenly Court, all the immortals, even the true immortal Jiu Youming, entered the Demon Emperor's World.

The Demon Emperor also transformed into a stream of light and merged into the formation.

The True Immortals, who were attacking the formation, were unaware of the Demon Emperor's arrival.

The seven immortals were surrounded by dazzling immortal light, and their bodies were covered with immortal runes, each line representing an infinite path.

The seven True Immortals attacked the formation while simultaneously guarding against the other True Immortals.

Suddenly, the formation fluctuated, and a five-colored ray of light enveloped a True Immortal, dragging him directly inside.

"A True Immortal from the Xuanhuang Realm?"

The True Immortals who were attacking the formation were also taken aback by this scene.

Then came boundless rage: "A mere early-stage True Immortal dares to attack us? Does he really think he's the Undying Daoist from back then?!"

The Immortal Tree of yesteryear was known as the Immortal Taoist!

If that person were still alive, they would absolutely not dare to come to this world again.

Unfortunately, that person is already dead, forced to death by cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm!

Rumble

Within the formation, terrifying immortal light erupted, and immortal runes illuminated the void, attempting to forcefully break free of its restraints.

But the next moment, endless starlight converged, transforming into a starry sky that enveloped the true immortal.

"A mere ant at the early stage of True Immortal..."

boom

Before the words were finished, a huge millstone shattered the void and shattered the body of the true immortal.

The True Immortal was torn apart, but was rapidly coming together again.

But that supreme millstone, with the flow of Yin and Yang energies, and at its center, a chaotic energy, carrying the power to obliterate everything, came forth.

"You're just a mid-stage True Immortal, I overestimate you." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor sneered, and countless roots spread out, turning the True Immortal into nourishment.

A powerful aura rippled through the air as the Demon Emperor forcibly refined the corpse of a True Immortal, causing his aura to surge.

"It's been too long since I've improved like this." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed with cold light as he looked at the True Immortals as if they were a group of prey.

With the array forming a natural barrier, she doesn't need to worry about safety for the time being.

Then let's take this opportunity to kill a few more and improve ourselves!

With the fall of this true immortal, who was refined alive by the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, cultivators across the land gained confidence.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor strikes again, selecting a suitable prey.

He doesn't bother with those small groups of three or four; each one is a true powerhouse.

Those that are numerous merely establish themselves in the starry sky by virtue of their sheer numbers.

Finding a way amidst the starry sky brings temporary peace.

Those cultivators in the world who knew the truth looked up at the sky every day, wanting to know what was happening up there.

Unfortunately, they were too weak; the strongest among them was only a Yin God cultivator, and they couldn't advance.

As for the Azure Heaven that shrouds the Great Shang Dynasty, it has already joined the battle, handing over all power to the King.

In the Land of Return to Nothingness, Li Changsheng also kept an eye on the sky, waiting for changes to occur.

Time flies, a century has passed, and the sky remains unchanged.

Two hundred years have passed, and nothing has changed.

Li Changsheng was not in a hurry; he had plenty of patience to wait, as the great calamity of heaven and earth might not have arrived yet.

Three hundred years, four hundred years, five hundred years...

Until the sixth hundred years later, beyond the heavens, endless starlight shone, and Li Changsheng saw array patterns, like ancient dragons resurrected.

The continuous lines of the starry sky connect the stars, mobilizing their power.

The great calamity of heaven and earth has finally officially erupted.

Li Changsheng kept his mind focused on the sky, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear of missing something.

Within that star array, there were countless cultivators who had contributed their power.

When they lost their strength, they recovered and never dared to stop for a moment.

Li Changsheng saw the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, who revealed her true form and displayed her ultimate power.

He saw a star explode and be obliterated by a true immortal.

He saw a bull demon the size of a star, roaring to the sky and shattering the star.

Above the heavens, the interstellar war was even more brutal than expected.

Large numbers of cultivators fell from the sky; some were at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, some at the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, and some were cultivators who had reached the Dao.

Three hundred years later, Li Changsheng saw the corpse of an immortal.

The Daoist School of Taiyi!

The old Taoist immortal perished in this battle.

Then came the Buddhas of Buddhism, the wandering immortals of the Three Holy Lands, and the immortals of the demonic path...

One by one, immortals fall, and an era comes to an end.

Li Changsheng felt a deep sorrow for these immortals.

With boundless starlight, and a true immortal body larger than the stars, plucking stars and seizing the moon is merely a matter of casual effort.

These are true immortals, who have transformed into immortal beings. To them, the stars of the mortal world are like toys.

The war in the stars continued, and countless cultivator corpses fell like rain.

Another eight hundred years have passed.

Li Changsheng saw a tree branch falling from the starry sky.

Those are willow branches.

Li Changsheng used a portion of his power to bring the tree branch to his side; it carried the aura of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Once I've reenacted this, I will definitely avenge you!

Li Changsheng thought to himself, glancing at the soil beside him, which was Yang Wushang.

Yang Wushang is now capable of conceiving on his own and no longer needs his help.

He continued to gaze at the sky, wondering what was happening up there—whether Liu Wuyou had only broken a branch or had already perished…

Rumble

Suddenly, the heavens and earth shook, and Li Changsheng was stunned.

The earth is shifting, the sea is surging, and an apocalyptic scene is unfolding.

And in the starry sky, there was an enormous hand that grabbed all living beings in the world.

The earth cracked and mountains collapsed, the sea shifted, and endless seawater surged in, submerging Guixu.

Li Changsheng was puzzled. Whose hand was that?

If they are true immortals during a great calamity, why don't they directly extract the essence of heaven and earth?

Moreover, those creatures were taken away by the giant hand without being harmed.

Li Changsheng watched quietly, and more than a thousand years passed before the world returned to peace.

Everything has changed drastically. The Great Wilderness is gone, and the land of the world has been divided into four parts.

The four seas are still the four seas, only their locations have changed.

Li Changsheng's Guixu is now considered to be the endless seawater in the East Sea, flowing into Guixu.

The giant hand laid down the living beings, turning them into specks of light that dissipated into the world.

Everything returned to calm; the anticipated catastrophe did not occur, and the very essence of heaven and earth was not taken away.

However, the cultivators from those worlds, including the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, never appeared again.

Li Changsheng collected the willow branch, intending to nurture it into a priceless treasure to accompany him.
