I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 3124 - 1484: You Are the Demon Lord! (2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"So that’s how it is!"
Chen Mobai nodded with a face of sudden realization. Although he had refined the Purple Cloud Palace long ago, it was only after Harmonization that he truly controlled this Innate Treasure.
After a small demonstration of his power, a fist-sized black flame was enveloped by descending Saintly Virtue Pure Light and fished out from the black hole vortex.
"No, don’t seal me..."
The True Spirit of Hei Shen Daoist Monarch floated within the flames, seemingly understanding his fate, and shouted loudly.
As the Saintly Virtue Daoist Master, Chen Mobai would certainly not let go of such a Demon Path miscreant.
However, this was his first time sealing a Seventh Rank opponent, and he hesitated about where to seal him?
In the Three Realms, the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor had thrown himself into the Gate of Taixu, but here he couldn’t just seal him in the Purple Cloud Palace?
As the current Sect Master of the Purple Cloud Palace, Chen Mobai could not allow any filthy Demon Path creatures inside.
Thinking over and over, it seemed he could only seal him on the spot.
After all, aside from his two Great Daos, Hei Shen Daoist Monarch also had the Power of Annihilation surrounding him, which Chen Mobai did not want to carry around.
With this in mind, Chen Mobai immediately maneuvered the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, compressing Hei Shen Daoist Monarch and the suppressed black hole vortex to refine the Void into a Law Domain, transforming it into a powerful seal.
As the sealing progressed, the black hole vortex continued to shrink. Even though the Cangsheng Pot didn’t need the Qianqiu Yuan Yang Ruler, it could already fly easily. Soon, Xuanming steered it over to thank Chen Mobai.
"Senior’s intervention saved the countless beings in Xuanhu Dojo, a boundless merit!"
At the mouth of the Cangsheng Pot, Xuanming and other Nascent Soul Cultivators flew out, witnessing Chen Mobai refining a part of the starry sky into a Void seal, and saluted him deeply.
"It’s just a small effort. Although I’ve suppressed the Destruction Tribulation here, new threats could spread from the Mystic Palace, so you should take this opportunity to stay away from the Northern Territory."
As Chen Mobai spoke, his eyes flickered, and he had already regained control of the Cangsheng Pot through the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, drawing a familiar figure from it.
It was Qi Yuheng.
"Junior Brother Chen, while I always believed that with your extraordinary talent, you’d achieve Harmonization sooner or later, I didn’t expect it to be so soon." Qi Yuheng, having heard from Xuanming and others about Chen Mobai’s deeds, realized his form was being moved uncontrollably from the Cangsheng Pot, felt both astonished and emotional upon seeing the familiar smiling face.
After recollecting with Qi Yuheng, Chen Mobai flicked his sleeve, activating the Void Great Dao, and directly flung the Cangsheng Pot across a dozen or so star systems, helping Xuanhu Dojo’s group escape the pursuit of the Destruction Tribulation.
At this moment, the sealing process reached its final step.
As it was his first time, he was a bit inexperienced.
Just as the True Spirit of Hei Shen Daoist Monarch and the black hole vortex were about to be compressed to a single point, a strange transformation occurred in the Void, causing them to suddenly vanish.
If not for the Authority of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao immediately revealing the answer, Chen Mobai might have believed that Pure Yang had intervened to rescue Hei Shen Daoist Monarch.
At the moment of sealing completion, a talisman embedded in Hei Shen Daoist Monarch’s Great Dao foundation was triggered, transporting him to a place Chen Mobai had once visited.
Primordial Heaven.
[Could this person be one of the Demon Lord’s Seventy-Two Forms, and sensing the impending sealing, automatically triggered the Primordial Demon Talisman?]
This question arose in Chen Mobai’s mind, but no answer came from the Saintly Virtue Great Dao.
It was evident the Demon Lord’s Realm was too high to probe.
Nevertheless, Chen Mobai, having harmonized, could freely enter and exit this Demon Lord heritage Secret Realm of Primordial Heaven, given his possession of the Purple Cloud Palace, he ventured in once more.
Soon, he arrived again at the Dao Kaleidoscope, a place that previously made him struggle with each step, now he crossed over with one stride.
Upon entering, he witnessed a chilling scene.
The missing Hei Shen Daoist Monarch was there, his True Spirit and Great Dao seemingly melting, rising into wisps of black smoke.
Hei Shen Daoist Monarch’s form resisted, like a black moth, yet akin to the Cangsheng Pot being drawn into the black hole vortex before, he could not resist being drawn towards a corner of the Apocalypse Great Mill marked by axe and knife cuts.
Over half of the black smoke had already merged into a corner, gradually lighting up as one of the Three Thousand Demon Paths, becoming part of the Primordial.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai felt he needed to do something.
After all, it was evidently a handiwork left by the Demon Lord; if the enemy wanted it, he must prevent it.
Chen Mobai immediately maneuvered the Purple Cloud Palace, attempting to pull back the Hei Shen Daoist Monarch partially devoured by the Apocalypse Great Mill.
He soon discovered, however, that the power of the Purple Cloud Palace could not penetrate this part of Primordial Heaven.
Had this place transcended the Purple Cloud Universe?
Chen Mobai’s face changed with surprise, but he quickly activated the Turtle Treasure within him and found it could still be activated, allowing him to return to the city or the Purple Cloud Palace.
This eased his mind.
He thought for a moment that the Demon Lord had plotted against him and he was going to be trapped in Primordial Heaven.
The Turtle Treasure, being the original form of Qing Nu’s past life, retained traces of half-step Creation. From this, it could be seen that it was above the Purple Cloud Palace, this Innate Treasure.
"Fellow Daoist, save me quickly; if the Demon Lord devours me, he might break free from Taixu Ancestor’s seal and wreak havoc on the masses once again!"
At this point, Hei Shen Daoist Monarch also saw Chen Mobai enter, and while struggling not to merge with the Apocalypse Great Mill, shamelessly sought help from his opponent.
"Aren’t you a Demon Path cultivator who should give everything for the Demon Lord’s emergence?" Chen Mobai asked curiously, walking to the Apocalypse Great Mill.
"You jest, fellow Daoist. I practiced the Demon Path only because there was no hope of Pure Yang; I wanted to explore an alternative path. My true intention was solely personal cultivation, with no desire to release the Demon Lord," Hei Shen Daoist Monarch shook his head vehemently, claiming he merely lost his way temporarily, nature-wise still belonging to the Xuanmen Righteous Path.
"But spreading the Destruction Tribulation attempting to annihilate the world’s nascency is an actual crime deserving execution."
Chen Mobai’s words silenced Hei Shen Daoist Monarch; according to Central Dojo’s rules, such actions inevitably meant sealing, possibly even being refined into a Seventh Rank Magic Artifact, eternally enslaved for the universe’s development.
"Fellow Daoist, help me; whatever punishment from Central Dojo, I’ll bear it!"
Upon realizing more of his True Spirit and Great Dao were being devoured by the Apocalypse Great Mill, Hei Shen Daoist Monarch immediately vowed, hoping Chen Mobai would aid him.
After all, failing this hurdle would certainly result in losing his self, becoming part of the Demon Lord Primordial.
Comparatively, Central Dojo at least belonged to the Dao Venerable lineage, the Xuanmen Righteous Path, and even if transformed into an artifact, his True Spirit would remain intact.
"If that’s the case, then let me take you to see Senior Brother Taixu for judgment."
Internally, Chen Mobai had already decided to intervene; he said, and exercised "The Union of Differences," this pre-refined Innate Treasure once again resonated with his Heart and Mind.
[Why are you here again?] Apocalypse Great Mill was puzzled, given the effort Chen Mobai previously took to leave Primordial Heaven with Bai Guang.
[Came in inadvertently, but I was heading to the Mystic Palace anyway; mind if I pass through?] Chen Mobai explained his entrance’s reason and pointed at Hei Shen Daoist Monarch, mostly devoured, [Can you pause with this one? I fear the Demon Lord left a contingency in you, and if it absorbs sufficient part of the Three Thousand Demon Paths, it might break free.]
Though the Demon Lord’s consciousness had revived in the Three Realms, his True Body remained sealed by Taixu True King. Currently, the chaos only plagued the Three Realms; if the Purple Cloud Universe were to be unsealed, it would incur great guilt upon him.
[Absorbing the Three Thousand Demon Paths is an automatic program left in me, I can’t stop it. But since you’ve refined me, you can try removing it.]
Apocalypse Great Mill sounded a bit helpless; although an Innate Treasure, it was repeatedly pondered and refined by many Great Abilities of the Purple Cloud Palace, some elements and programs were beyond its control.
[Alright, let me give it a try.]
Chen Mobai nodded, extended his hand, and placed it upon the Apocalypse Great Mill beside him.
Then a startling scene befell Hei Shen Daoist Monarch.
Originally consuming him in faint streams, the Apocalypse Great Mill, upon Chen Mobai’s touch, surged with unbounded voracity as if restraints were lifted.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Apocalypse Great Mill spun in Chen Mobai’s palm. In merely one circle, Hei Shen Daoist Monarch was completely engulfed, lighting up the Li Flame Heavenly Demon corner.
Inside, Hei Shen Daoist Monarch’s True Spirit retained a trace of consciousness, his face twisted like black flames surfaced, looking at the dazed Chen Mobai in horror:
"You are the Demon Lord!"
