Chapter 185 - Child of the World, Two Devil Kings, Demon Emperor of the Demon Abyss

The seal of the Saint Province Dao Square vanished.

The Jiuyang Sect reappeared in the world yet again, this time the Immortal Soldier and the likes of Dong Yao were nowhere to be seen. Immediately, mist started rising and the great formation that was initially suppressed by the Golden Heave Path started to evoke again, blocking off line of sight.

“Brother Jiang, am I dreaming?” Xi Yao still had not come out of her shock as she grabbed onto Jiang Ming’s arm as her warm breath exhaled onto his arm.

“Are you trying to take this opportunity to take advantage of my Senior Brother?” Linglong grabbed Xi Yao’s hands off him, as she kneaded and pinched her, “It’s really soft and boneless”

Xi Yao’s face turned red as she quickly pulled out her hand and harrumphed, “You perverted lady!”

Jiang Ming ignored the two, turned around and disappeared without a trace. He teleported away, arriving in the Submerged Dragon Continent.

What was in front of him were mountains of different heights, rivers and ravines across the horizons. Birds could be seen soaring in the skies and beasts fighting in their natural habitat. There wasn’t anything unusual about the place.

Jiang Ming swept his hand mid-air, slashing the void in front of him, bringing a whole new world into revelation.

Thick demonic fog rolled through the area and the grounds were pitch black. There were all kinds of demons roaming around, each giving an eerie aura yet were powerful nonetheless.

He noticed a few of the demons pouring some sort of black liquid into the gullies. These black liquids were like living creatures that quickly drilled into the grounds.

As Jiang Ming’s eyes shone, he discovered that the places that were infected by these liquids no longer had the breath that the lands of the mortal world was supposed to have, but instead gave off the power of the abyss.

These aura of the abyss were rapidly rising.

‘Are they trying to turn this place into a demonic domain?’ Jiang Ming was shocked.

In a far distance, there was a huge spatial gateway where demons of all kinds swarming in and out like tidal waves.

Roughly estimating, there were already as many as ten millions of these demons spreading across the hills with varying strengths.

He saw a 100-feet tall demon standing right next to the gateway.

Jiang Ming quickly opened up the Human Path Record.

Name: Hei Luoli

Race: Abyssal Devil Troll Clan

Gender: Male

Cultivation Base: Level 11 (Heavenly Immortal Realm)

Background: The underlings of the Blood Red Abyss Small Chiliocosm’s Third Devil King

Relationship: -98

Innate Talent: Immortal

Status: Currently following the orders of the Third Devil King, Xue Tao to guard the gateway.

When he first came over to demonize this mortal word, he gazed around. When he saw that this was just a planar world, he was shocked, wondering why would the Devil King choose to demonize such a small mortal world? After all, the cost of completely demonizing the little world with the origin source of the Abyss, is too much of a consumption, and will not be enough to be compensated. He’s afraid that the Devil King’s thousands of years of accumulation will be exhausted in just one go, hence he couldn’t believe it!

What kind of secret is hidden in this mortal world?

Who was the one who opened up the gateway to cross worlds? Why is there the scent of the Devil King?

Legend has it that the Devil King left an imprint somewhere in the mortal world. Could it be that this is the world? What secret can there even be in a mortal world?

Could it be that the Devil King wants to merge this world into the abyss or rather devour it? But that can’t be! Even if the Devil King devours this world, it is of little use to him.

Demonizing the lands here already is sufficient for it to cater to the power of the Sky Devil, so why continue doing so? Could it be that we’re trying to bring forth the True Demon or maybe the Demon General?

No, even if the Devil King has boundless resources, he won’t be able to demonize the world and bring upon the Demon General.

Upon reading through the ‘Status’ Jiang Ming felt restless.

‘What secret does the mortal world actually hold? There’s first the Golden Heaven Path and now even the Devil King from small chiliocosm did not hesitate to exhaust their boundless resources to bring upon demonization to this world.’ He was puzzled, really puzzled by all this. However, he noticed something important, that was, the Devil King Xue Tao seemed to be determined on taking over Tianyuan World.

‘Blood Red Abyss Small Chiliocosm, why does this seem so familiar? Oh I remember! The demonic invasion that took place over at the Northern Region was also from this small chiliocosm, but it was the Ninth Devil King’s underling that time. This group today belongs to the Third Devil King. To think that they came from the same world. Could it be that the secret of the mortal world had something to do with their world? How are the abyss divided though?’

Jiang Ming suppressed his thoughts as he could not wait any longer.

Once more and more Sky Devils and True Demons descended, then it would be even more of a problem.

As for the Sky Devils and the True Demons, Jiang Ming also learned from his chat group’s friends that they were a division of the demonic domain, corresponding to the Heavenly Immortal and the True Immortal; where Demon General corresponded to the Immortal General, both of the Mystical Immortal Realm.

Hum….

Ripples started to form in the void as immeasurable pressure descended onto the land. It was the World Projection.

With a simple thought, Jiang Ming evoked the projection as boundless lights instantly rained down, cleansing and purifying all evil, demonic energy and darkness.

The power of World Projection suppressed all of the demonic energy that transformed the land. The demons collapsed one after another as though there was a bottomless mountain pressing down on them, and when the lights shined on them, loud shrieks could be heard before they turned into wisps of black smoke, disappearing without a trace. The light purifies and restraints demonic cultivations.

Right next to the gateway.

“How can there be such a strong power in this world? The Devil Troll Hei Luoli was shocked and what made him even more unbelievable was that he was almost unable to move a muscle under the suppression of the World Projection.

It was simply unbelievable.

Hei Luoli hurriedly evoked his demonic blood, burned through his essence, trying to break free and escape through the gateway.

“Perish!”

How would Jiang Ming allow his wish to come true? He bombarded him with the Unlimited Killing Punch. Energizing with the power of his inner world allowed his punch to greatly exceed the limits of a human being.

The moment he landed onto the gateway on impact, the gateway which was forged by the Devil King clone instantly shattered. “We’re finished!” Devil Troll Hei Luoli had a face of despair.

The expressions on the other 80 Sky Devils were also of extreme desperation. “Who in the world are you?” Devil Troll Hei Luoli asked while looking at Jiang Ming who was shrouded in bright light.

On top of his head, demonic flames were ignited, twisting the void as he tried to break free from the World Projection’s suppression.

“What a strong devil! It’s no weaker than a True Immortal already!” Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up. In order to avoid any incident, he had the Level 14 Immortal weapon, Universe Furnace that was suppressing in his inner world, to release a wisp of immortal energy, which completely suppressing Hei Luoli, rendering him unable to move one bit. Immediately after, the Universe Furnace suddenly appeared, floating on top of them. As the furnace turned upside down, it released a powerful suction, swallowing the Devil Troll Hei Luoli and the other 80 Sky Devils whole, suppressing them inside.

Jiang Ming did not leave immediately, and continued to maintain the World Projection to evoke the power of light, quickly cleansing and purifying the demonic region.

Slowly the power of mortal law returned to the land and the suppressed world’s origin started to operate again.

It didn’t take long for the area to be completely purified. It was also at that moment, Jiang Ming suddenly felt a burst of clarity in his heart, as his comprehension of the world’s origin and the operation of law rose to an even greater level.

There was also a kind of intimate aura gathering before him from various parts of the world.

“Is this destiny?” Jiang Ming raised his head and had a sudden clear comprehension of what had transpired.

Save the world and you would receive the blessing from heaven and earth.

From now on, he would have boundless luck, the ability to turn bad luck into good luck and also receive the blessing of heaven in this planar world.

“If it was the old me, I would be very happy, but now…” Jiang Ming shook his head.

He no longer cared for it.

The things that this mortal world could provide him no longer sparks his interest.

After keeping away all the trophies he got from the devils, Jiang Ming started to write on the Human Path Record.

With his mind as the pen and his spirit aiding his mind, he wrote: Blood Red Abyss Small Chiliocosm’s Third Devil King, Xue Tao.

The person’s was written in incredible detail and without any accidents, the details were shown below:

Name: Xue Tao

Race: Xuemo Clan

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Level 14 (Devil King, Golden Immortal Realm)

Background: Blood Red Abyss Small Chiliocosm’s Third Devil King

Relationship: -72

Innate talent: Immortal

Status: In ancient times, there was a blood-colored lake in the demonic domain, which gave birth to a large number of xuemo. He coincidentally swallowed a droplet of blood that had boundless strength, which made him grow and evolve rapidly. He ended up devouring all the other xuemo that were in the lake.

Ultimately, he devoured even the blood-colored lake and gave himself a name, with Xue as his surname and Tao as his name, Xue Tao. As the bloody waves loom, it would surely sweep through the Demon Abyss and the heavens.

Upon leaving his birth place, he started to conquer the demonic lands. Through carnage, devouring and growing in a land filled with bloodshed, he had life-and-death battles for tens of thousands of years before he became the Devil King of a new era. He never continued to grow up until he became the third Devil King standing at the pinnacle of this demonic land.

He also knew a lot of secrets. For example, the place that he was in was just a small chiliocosm called the Blood Red Abyss and that Blood Red Abyss belonged to the Boundless Demonic Domain. There is a passage that connects the places together, which he secretly used to go into the Boundless Demonic Domain. But he later returned with severe injury in just 10 days’ time. Fortunately, the non-native demons find it hard to descend into their world.

He spent his following years constantly sneaking into higher and higher levels of the Demonic region to commit bloodshed, in search of an opportunity to break through.

A hundred thousand years, a million years, ten million years and slowly billion years had passed. After witnessing how grand and magnificent the battlefield was, and also watching Devil Kings falling like the rain, his desire to break through started corroding his mind. Upon reaching this stage or cultivation, the next step forward will be even harder, much harder than breaking through the skies.

It seems as though his potential had been exhausted.

Just as he was about to join a new Demon Emperor and exchange his credit for further opportunities to improve himself, the Ninth Devil King angered him. Just when he was about to beat him to death, the Ninth Devil King revealed a secret: Somewhere in the mortal world, there are hidden secrets that allows the Devil King to improve further in cultivation and that he had already set up a demonic inheritance there.

He believed the news when the Ninth Devil King swore on it. After pondering for a long time, he accumulated nine seeds that were infused with his own demonic spirit and used the coordinate that the Ninth Devil King provided to barely tear a tiny opening in the world, throwing the nine seeds as an investment for the future.

Tens of millions of years ago, one of the demonic seeds had matured and he found clues about the world containing a certain great secret. He then collected various rare materials, forged an interdimensional gateway and allowed a great number of demons to descend.

Just when it looked like he was about to completely take over the mortal word, an immortal gateway opened up and the Buddha descended. It was a huge battle that even caused the sun to fall, the sea to run dry and destroyed more than half of humanity. The land towards the east was shattered and a huge part of it submerged into the deep sea. In the end, he was defeated and the Demonic spirit clone was killed. The incident strengthened the Devil King’s idea of seizing the opportunity over in this world. After all, it was much safer than the bloodshed in the higher-level world.

When the last demonic spirit matured, formed a clone and opened up another interdimensional gateway, he depleted billions of years of accumulated resources to demonize the mortal world, regardless of the cost. He was determined to succeed this time.

Unfortunately, he still fell short in the end. Devil King Xue Tao: Damn it! Why is there such a powerful being hidden in such a small little world? Not only did he destroy the Ninth Devil King’s arrangement, annihilate the immortals who descended on the Golden Heaven Path, but he also destroyed my demonic land! I’ve sent over 81 Sky Devils and among them were Hei Luoli who was comparable to a True Devil! A whole hundreds of millions of year’s effort going down the drain just like that? Fortunately, the demonic spiritual clone is now hidden somewhere. If it was killed, then I’ll join hands with the Ninth Devil King to destroy this mortal world and see what secrets lie beneath it!

Upon reading through the ‘Status’, Jiang Ming’s heart sank. To think that the world was actually targeted by two Devil Kings!

Devil Kings were akin to the Golden Immortals.

It seemed that the Blood Red Abyss was not an independent existence but whether the Infinite Demon Abyss that it was part of was considered a middle chiliocosm or a great chiliocosm was uncertain. ‘The source of the Demonic Dao inheritance has finally been found.’ Jiang Ming was speechless.

The ‘Status’ display on the Human Path Record had not ended yet, and the current status of the Devil King’s clone appeared below. It was very simple. After a certain person cultivated into the Extreme Path Realm, the demonic spirit had awakened and taken over the person’s body. After learning of the series of events that took place in the Tianyuan Continent, he didn’t dare to reveal himself but instead went over to the Submerged Dragon Continent to finish forging the interdimensional gateway and hid himself after.

Coincidently, the Golden Heaven Path appeared and he took this opportunity to evoke the interdimensional gateway, thinking that it would be quite some time before their battles ended. Never did he think that the incomparably arrogant immortal soldiers could be destroyed with just a flick!

Devil King’s clone: I will just continue hiding for another ten, hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years! After this unknown Jiuyang Sect expert ascends into the higher realm, I will initiate my plans yet again! As for the secret? Now that I know it’s within Jiuyang Sect, there’s nowhere to run! “Can he even hide from me?”

Upon reading, Jiang Ming simply sneered.
