After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"Hey, you little bastard!"

The blood-red demon's eyes were bloodshot, and the deep-seated sense of crisis was instantly overwhelmed by rage.

The red-haired demon quickened his pace, and for some reason, the little girl running across from him suddenly slowed down and ran to a rickety street lamp.

The red-haired demon didn't care whether the girl ran fast or slow. Since she was in front of him, he rushed to the lamppost without saying a word and grabbed the little girl.

But the moment his hands touched the little girl, she transformed into countless streams of light and scattered.

Given the Red-Haired Demon's intelligence, it was a bit hard to understand for a moment, so he stared blankly at the area in front of him where the little girl had just disappeared.

"...The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Realm".

The sky was bright.

The red-haired demon felt an unprecedented white light enveloping the area, and he subconsciously looked up.

It saw the light.

Then came an overwhelming darkness.

……

I don't know how much time has passed.

The red-haired demon was in pain all over his body, especially his head, which felt as if it had been smashed and then pieced back together. Every part of his body ached, and no part of him felt comfortable.

Stimulated by the pain, the red-haired demon slightly opened his eyes. A light tore through the darkness, and the red-haired demon saw an unfamiliar rooftop.

Then two heads, one in front of the other and one above the other, leaned closer and laughed.

"You're awake. Qi's surgery was a success. Now you're a lovely girl." [7--8≤¤0÷∈]

The red-haired demon tilted his head in confusion.

Chapter Five: You're Awake

Before it got dark, Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun went up to the roof of the community government building. Instead of standing, they crawled on all fours to the roof railing, their four eyes peering out from inside.

Now it is the end times, and the underworld and the human world have inexplicably connected. The sky is covered by eternal night, and even though it is now dawn, the sky is dark, like the sky before a storm.

In the darkness, on the street opposite the community government building, a red-haired demon with bulging muscles and hair like burning flames sat on the ground, clutching a few bones that must have been from the "Anglerfish" demon he had killed the day before, and munching on them.

The immense yin energy swelled outwards as the red-haired ghost devoured the "angerfish" ghost's body, bringing with it gusts of foul-smelling yin wind.

Little Yama whispered in Zhou Yan's ear.

"This red-haired demon doesn't seem to have much intelligence. Later, I'll use the Soul Imprisonment Technique to trap it and then try to enlighten it."

Zhou Yan hesitated as he looked at the solid, explosive muscles on the red-haired demon's body.

"Brother Yan, should we hold out a little longer?"

I've only been practicing lightning magic for a day!

Zhou Yan estimated that if he wanted to confront the red-haired demon blocking his way head-on, he would need at least half a month of lightning magic training.

Little Yama said with disdain.

"Scared?"

Zhou Yan countered with a question.

"We are human beings, not African honey badgers, who want to fight with everyone."

Little Yama walked to Zhou Yan's side and put his arms around Zhou Yan's neck.

"Xiao Yan, tell Brother Yan honestly, do you really have no way to cripple this red-haired devil?"

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then reached out and touched the Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Merit Seal on his waist.

As a sacrificial artifact of the Shenxiao Dao, this thing not only makes the cultivation of thunder magic twice as effective, but it can also be used as a ritual artifact to invite the Antarctic Longevity Emperor to send down heavenly thunder to exorcise evil.

Zhou Yan hesitated.

"Yes, there are...but..."

Zhou Yan took out the Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Merit Seal.

"If I use the method of summoning gods, the degree of control will be very poor. I can only use lightning to strike one location."

After Zhou Yan cultivated the Thunder Technique, he could freely control and release the thunder, striking wherever he wanted. However, when he used the Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Seal to summon the gods, the thunder that descended was indeed more powerful, but it was not as easy to control as he could.

Little Yama was very satisfied.

"So, all we need to do is lead that red-haired, long-legged mature woman to where the lightning will strike when you cast your spell, Xiao Yan?"

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

"You haven't even started customizing the character's face yet, and you're already deciding on the image?"

Little Yama asked, puzzled.

"Isn't a red-haired mature woman good enough? I want to keep that guy's fiery hair, so when he walks over, there will be a row of sparks on the back of his head, making him both handsome and beautiful."

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment.

"Actually, I wanted to turn it into Shana's."

Shana also had her hair in a blaze of fire.

Little Yama was somewhat disgusted.

"What's so interesting about a washboard? If you want to look at something, look at a mature woman with a great figure and long legs."

Zhou Yan retorted.

"Do you know how adorable a girl is who you can hold in your arms and rub her head?"

It would be even better if it had some fur and a tail, then it would be even more enjoyable to pet.

"Gnawing...gnawing..."

The red-haired demon below, who was eating "monkey fish," seemed to smell something, put down his food, and looked up to sniff.

On the rooftop of the community government building, Zhou Yan immediately lay down. Little Yama also controlled the surrounding Yin energy to form a wind, blowing his and Zhou Yan's scent away from the red-haired ghost.

The red-haired demon below sniffed a few times, but didn't smell anything strange, so it lowered its head and continued eating its food.

On the rooftop of the community government building, Xiao Yanjun nudged Zhou Yan with his arm.

"This red-haired demon seems very perceptive. If we stay on this street for too long, he might discover us."

Zhou Yan understood Little Yama's meaning.

"If you're confident, Brother Yan, um..."

Zhou Yan looked around and pointed ahead.

"Brother Yan, do you see that street lamp? The one that's still on."

Little Yama looked in the direction Zhou Yan was pointing.

Yesterday, the street where the community government is located was ruined because of the battle between the red-haired demon and the "monkey" demon. The streetlights, which had not been maintained for a long time, fell one after another, and only one streetlight survived.

Little Yama nodded.

"I saw it."

Zhou Yan began to retreat.

"I'm going downstairs now to set up an altar and request the Dharma. Brother Yan, listen to me recite the precious proclamation of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor. When I start reciting the Great Compassion and Great Vow, there will be thunder fifteen seconds later. If you include the time it takes for the lightning to fall, it will be sixteen seconds."

Following "Great Compassion and Great Vow" are "...Great Sage and Great Mercy. Jade Pure True King, Antarctic Longevity Emperor, Heavenly Venerable of the Primordial Saint," a total of twenty characters. Zhou Yan has a way of reciting these twenty characters at a steady pace for fifteen seconds.

Little Yama nodded.

"Okay... I'll go down with you."

Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun went downstairs and found a clean room with a window facing the road. Xiao Yanjun stood in front of the window and looked at the red-haired ghost standing on the street outside.

Zhou Yan then took out the Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Complete Merit Seal, placed it on the ground, made several hand seals around the seal, and began chanting.

"High above, in the Divine Firmament Palace, the Spirit Gathers and Illuminates. The Seventh Primordial Ancestor divides the Six Qi into True Qi, responding to the wondrous Three Paths, emptily and freely opening up new possibilities."

The Divine Firmament Jade Pivot, placed on the ground, emitted a faint light.

"Reaching the highest heavens, ruling over all the realms."

The Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Complete Power Seal began to rise from the ground and slowly rotate.

"In the ten extremes, it governs all things. It proclaims the golden talisman to shine its light and relieve suffering, and bestows its grace to nurture and nourish all people. Its benevolence extends to the very foundation of Heaven and Earth, and its compassion extends to all calamities."

Zhou Yan could feel his consciousness beginning to float out of his body, rising from the ground to the sky, where streaks of silver snakes began to flow across the sky, which was covered by dense yin energy.

The Antarctic Immortal Emperor heard Zhou Yan's call and began to lend him his power.

"Great compassion and great vow..."

The moment Zhou Yan spoke of the great compassion and vow, Little Yama's pupils contracted, and he rushed out of the office.

……

"crunch..."

"crunch..."

The red-haired demon sat on the ground, inhaling and exhaling the abundant yin energy of heaven and earth while eating the corpse of the "monkey" demon.

The red-haired demon has no intelligence or logical thinking. From birth, it only has instincts. When it is angry, it will vent its anger. When it is hungry, it will look for food. When it is bored, it will wander around. When it sees its own kind, it will attack.

The red-haired demon lived like a wild beast born of the land, possessing at most some supernatural powers that mortals lacked.

Yesterday and today are the same. Like countless days before, the red-haired demon eats his fill, sleeps, and goes out to find food when he's hungry. However, this meal is better, and he's been eating since last night and still hasn't finished this morning.

The red-haired demon instinctively felt that he probably wouldn't have to worry about food for the next few days, and could relax...

"Snapped……"

The red-haired demon felt a slight sensation on his forehead.

The red-haired demon instinctively turned around, and his gaze fell upon a little girl who was only 1.5 meters tall walking past him, her body radiating a dense aura of yin energy.

That alone wouldn't be so bad. The red-haired demon doesn't want to move when it's full. As a physical evil spirit, it won't easily hunt for food unless it's hungry.

Therefore, the "Survival Manual Against Ghosts" in Little Yama's possession states that the simplest way to deal with evil spirits like the Red-Haired Demon is to throw out five people so that the Red-Haired Demon can be fed, and the others can easily leave.

But the little girl opposite her stretched out her finger, gave the middle finger to the red-haired demon, and shouted at the same time.

"Hey, you little bastard!"

The red-haired demon didn't understand what the middle finger meant, but an emotion called anger arose uncontrollably in its heart. This emotion came so quickly and so fiercely that almost instantly, the red-haired demon's instincts were completely consumed by rage, leaving only the thought of tearing the little girl in front of it apart and devouring her to drive its strong body.

Under extreme emotional stress, the muscles in the red-haired demon's entire body began to writhe and tense under his skin, like a wriggling eel.

The red-haired demon's already superhuman physique tensed up. He pushed himself up with his feet on the ground and chased after the little girl who had already run far away, his eyes bloodshot.

Pa had only chased after him for a few steps when the red-haired demon felt an instinctive, inexplicable sense of crisis that crept up his spine, neck, and scalp.

The bait was "Jade Purity True King, Antarctic Longevity Emperor..."

The fiery red-haired demon's hair stood on end, sparks scattering outwards along its path.

The Three-Red-Haired Demon couldn't understand the meaning of the voice, but it could sense that the current situation was not normal.

3. The girl running ahead turned around and gave the middle finger again.

"Hey, you little bastard!"

5. The red-haired demon's eyes were bloodshot, and the deep-seated sense of crisis was instantly overwhelmed by anger.

The red-haired demon quickened his pace, and for some reason, the little girl running across from him suddenly slowed down and ran to a rickety street lamp.

The red-haired demon didn't care whether the girl ran fast or slow. Since she was in front of him, he rushed to the lamppost without saying a word and grabbed the little girl.

But the moment his hands touched the little girl, she transformed into countless streams of light and scattered.

Given the Red-Haired Demon's intelligence, it was a bit hard to understand for a moment, so he stared blankly at the area in front of him where the little girl had just disappeared.

"...The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Realm".

The sky was bright.

The red-haired demon felt an unprecedented white light enveloping the area, and he subconsciously looked up.

Then came an overwhelming darkness.
