From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The Nine-Turn Iron Cudgel was forged by the great master Xuanzang using the principles of the Nine-Turn Alchemy. The golden hoops at both ends of the cudgel were refined internally by the river. This cudgel is a divine weapon with its own unique aura, a new place for the spirit of the aura to reside.

Within this staff were thoughts from the Black Mountain Demon, which Jiang Liu transformed using the Yang God technique, refining away the yin impurities and turning it into pure yang energy, giving it a touch of spirituality.

The spirituality transformed from the pure Yang thought of this single element can be dominated by the spirit of the Qi structure, thus giving it the true possibility of generating thoughts.

In other words, this nine-turn iron rod has completely possessed a soul and can now be called a "divine treasure".

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Jiang Liu twirled the stick, and with his discerning eye, he observed the stick's body. He saw fish transforming into dragons and dragons into fish, and in the midst of these transformations, he sensed the beginning of a new era and the renewal of all things.

Afterwards, Jiang Liu infused it with the light of his soul—Huiyuan—causing it to circulate nine times and return to itself, thus adding another layer of spiritual charm to this divine treasure. With its heart in perfect harmony, only by holding it can the staff unleash its true power.

After storing the Divine Staff in his storage ring, Jiang Liu examined the white-shelled clam with its wavy pattern once more.

Unlike last time when his mental energy was blocked from the outside, Jiang Liu is now able to see things clearly with a clear mind and an open eye.

The primordial energy within the jade-winged, golden-scaled mermaid seized control of the corpse-like creature, entering its shell. Nourished by sea energy and dragon fire, it continuously fused its primordial energy into the corpse's body. Sea energy opened the nine orifices, and dragon fire refined the eight meridians, causing the body to constantly transform and compress, showing a tendency to metamorphose into an infant.

Rejuvenation! ?

After withdrawing his wisdom eye, Jiang Liu seemed to be deep in thought. He then instructed the artificial intelligence Honghuang to pay close attention to the subtle changes in the clam ancestor. He then transformed into a Kun fish and went out to sea, then into a Peng bird and soared into the sky. Afterward, he used the technique of riding the clouds and mist and returned to Cairo, Egypt in a short while.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying were also ready, carrying shoulder bags and suitcases, looking like they were going on a trip.

"Let's begin!"

Seeing this, Jiang Liu didn't hesitate. He brushed past the storage ring, took out the Hetu Luoshu, and opened it. The first golden page, the Inner Canon Diagram, and the first black page, the Fire Control Diagram, appeared.

As the Qi was injected, a ripple of spacetime spread out from the river, enveloping Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying.

In an instant.

The three figures vanished into the basement of the Cairo University library, while the flow of time in this main dimension remained relatively still compared to the rest of the multidimensional spacetime...

···

Late 20th century.

China, Hong Kong, and the Deer Park.

Above the entrance to the amusement park, a white-haired British man dressed in a wizard's robes shouted arrogantly at the three people on the road ahead: "Just wait, Chen Long, what comes out of the gates of hell will definitely be a demon!"

"Father is right!"

Beside the British man was a creature resembling a humanoid lizard, chuckling coldly, yet its eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

Unlike the others present, this lizardman was a time traveler who knew the plot development of this world and had traveled back in time to become a demon dragon.

This timeline is almost identical to the plot of a cartoon he watched in his previous life called "Chen Long's Adventures," and due to his "reincarnation," he has gained a deeper understanding of the details of this world.

For example, who is the mother of the demon dragon?

He doesn't have a mother!

It was created by the Holy Lord using the demonic energy of fire!

Back then, the eight immortal gods used eight divine tokens—a lotus bud, a drum, a folding fan, a castanets, a gourd, a sword, a flower, and a flute—to seal the demon into the Demon Hell. However, nearly half of the demonic energy remained on these tokens.

That's right!

The demon dragon was certain that the sealed demons had been stripped of half of their demonic energy, rather than the small portion that many anime fans in his previous life had speculated.

Over the long years, this demonic energy has also been imbued with the righteous imprint of the immortal god's token!

This is the fundamental reason why the center of demonic energy displays the pattern of the immortal god's relic!

Although these marks cannot change the nature of the demonic energy, the problem is that anyone can accept and integrate this part of the demonic energy that is marked with the imprint of the immortal god's token, except for the eight great demons themselves, who can no longer take it back into their bodies.

This is the Eight Immortals' backup plan!

Back then, after Shendu and the other seven great demons were sealed in the Demon Hell, he used sweet words to deceive them into joining forces to release him.

But as everyone knows—

The Holy Lord does not keep his promises!

Instead of releasing the other seven demons as agreed, he rebuilt his kingdom, unified the world, and even found the sword that Lü Dongbin had used to seal him, hoping to reclaim his half of the demonic energy, but he was unsuccessful.

give up?

Impossible.

Therefore, during the period when the Holy Lord regained his rule over the world, he tried every means to create a brand new spell. He extracted the purest life force of mankind, fused it with a part of his own flesh and blood, and used it as a vessel to carry the sword-shaped fire demonic energy, thus creating a brand new life form.

In theory, if a normal life form were to carry half of the Holy Lord's demonic energy, it would be able to gradually integrate the demonic energy completely into its body and grow into a demon with power comparable to the Holy Lord.

However, because the Holy Lord used his own flesh and blood and the pure life force of humans to create a vessel to carry demonic energy.

therefore.

As long as the Holy Lord lives, he will never be able to fully unleash the half of the demonic energy that originated from the Holy Lord!

It was at the time when the new life originating from the bloodline of the Holy Lord was born that he transmigrated and became the Demon Dragon. Over a long period of time, he erased the sword-shaped mark in the demonic energy and transformed it back into a dragon-shaped demonic energy like the soul of the Holy Lord.

In theory, once this stage is reached, the Holy Lord should withdraw the demonic energy, because his initial goal was to break the sword-shaped mark within his demonic energy.

But even the devil has a father-son relationship, seemingly raising him as a "crown prince"...

# Chapter 792 The Little Demon Dragon (Part 2)

In a previous life, he was a human.

In this life, I am a dragon.

Moreover, he was a "prince" dragon—

When he was alive, he cursed those officials and capitalists who rode on the backs of others.

When he was a dragon, he became the beneficiary. The little demon dragon enjoyed it with a clear conscience, and could no longer empathize with the cattle and horses he once was.

Then···

The law of yin and yang balance struck the head of his demonic little dragon.

Saint Seiya was defeated by Saint Lope and sealed into a statue, from which twelve talismans were extracted.

They thought the old emperor had abdicated and the crown prince should ascend the throne, but because the Holy Lord was not dead, but only sealed into a statue, the demon dragon was still unable to fully integrate the demonic energy into itself.

Moreover, because of Lope's presence, even though the demon dragon had the ability to fuse with demonic energy, it didn't dare to do so at the time.

Otherwise, if the twelve talismans were to become twenty-four, he himself would be turned into a dragon statue by Lopez and placed beside the Holy Lord—

How embarrassing would that be?

During the time that Shendu was sealed away, the demon dragon honed his martial arts skills, practiced magic, and occasionally tested the limits of the Yin-Yang balance...

Then he came to a truth:

Don't try to test the balance between righteous energy and dark energy!

Over the past nine hundred years, he has tried to collect various spirits, magic, and magical items developed and created by ancient civilizations, which caused the righteous side to appear due to the Holy Lord turning into a statue and breaking the yin-yang balance bug.

Then, almost a great mage appeared in the righteous faction who could successfully research and extract demonic energy!

If he hadn't acted decisively and thrown away all the powerful magical items he had collected, he would have almost gone from a demon dragon wielding fire magic to a lizardman who only knew how to fight!

The only saving grace is that the skills I've learned and the magic I've mastered won't be judged as strengthening the dark side.

It's possible that the amount of demonic energy he controls is constant, half that of the Holy Lord, but because the Holy Lord isn't dead, he can't fully merge with it...

Therefore, he then spent hundreds of years learning kung fu, fighting techniques, jujitsu, and so on from all over the world, trying to train his body to its limits.

but!

Fuck!

Who are those three guys down there?

Isn't it a bit too much of a cheat code that the righteous forces have given them?

When the "plot" officially begins, the demon dragon has not only honed his body to its current peak humanoid lizard form, but has also developed the G Foundation, which is spread all over the world except for China, and cooperates with the Black Hand Gang to resurrect the Holy Lord.

Although the little demon dragon had the idea of ​​becoming emperor, considering the law of yin and yang balance, he decided to let his cheap father take the lead while he slowly and stealthily developed his power.

In any case, as the son created from the flesh and blood of the Holy Lord, his life is also eternal, so there is no need to consider the issue of time.

As the Talisman arc begins, Demon Dragon and the Black Hand Gang work together to help Shendu find the talisman. With his formidable skills, he defeats Chen Long in their first encounter, breaking his ribs in one blow.

The demon dragon refrained from finishing off the demon because the Grand Mage's apprentice, whose father was blessed with righteous energy, arrived.

then.

In his second encounter with Jackie Chan, the latter's strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he even wore a suit of armor—the same armor that Lü Dongbin wore when he fought and battled with Shendu before he and the other seven immortal gods created the magic that sealed the demon into hell!

The little demon dragon clearly remembered that Lan Caihe's armor had only appeared in the "plot", and that was in the chapter about the Earthly Demon.

Unexpectedly, because of the Demon Dragon's severe injury to Chen Long, the righteous energy gave Chen Long such a huge boost, directly putting Lu Dongbin's armor on Chen Long!

In the "Chapter" of "Eight Great Demons Released from Prison", the righteous spirit was no longer put on an act, and Chen Long directly collected eight sets of immortal god armor in the process of fighting against the demons!

Fighting demons with the body of a mortal!

Dad also leveled up to "Grand Mage" level, and due to an accident, he defeated Daolong ahead of schedule and took over a large number of ancient magics collected by Daolong! This caused the "Charm Animal Arc" to end prematurely!

After Tru betrayed the Black Hand organization and joined the protagonist's group, he was also given a power-up, and there was no situation where he was redeemed or weakened. His physical stats were always on point, he learned magic, could cooperate with his father to chant spells and concoct potions, and could even share the Eight Immortals Armor with Chen Long. He was a melee mage.

And Xiaoyu.

She may seem ordinary, but perhaps because she is truly the reincarnation of a Saint Seiya, sometimes the power she unleashes is even greater than Chen Long, who is wearing the Eight Immortals Armor. Once, when he, the Demon Little Dragon, was careless, she kicked him away with a flying kick.

What sins did that little devil dragon commit?

Wasn't it just that during the "Demon Chapter," when the other demons were released, he secretly took a tiny bit of demonic energy from them?

Moreover, he did not intend to integrate those seven strands of demonic energy into his body. He only wanted to use them to influence the Panku Box, to break the magic, and to restore the world to the ancient state of balance between righteousness and darkness!

The balance between righteous energy and dark energy cannot be tested.

It is a truth that the little devil himself discovered.

However, perhaps influenced by the demon's fiery temper, even though the little demon dragon possesses reason, it still spontaneously and instinctively follows its desires.

Human will is no match for the influence of demonic energy.
