Chapter 853 - 85: Law of Cause and Effect Versus the Great Derivation Technique

The chaos of outer demons.

This is almost an inevitable occurrence.

Duncan wants to break through the upper limit of this world, which will certainly lead to spatial tremors. Then, this world will resemble a bubble about to burst, so long as a single crack appears, those Outer Heaven Demons, who have been watching closely, will swarm in.

Even when no one raises this world’s limit, the Outer Heaven Demons will exploit the opportunity to sneak in, but such situations usually involve only one at a time, unable to cause significant destruction.

Yet this time Duncan used the Three Corpses as bait, causing a thousand Outer Heaven Demons to flood in all at once.

Although Duncan killed a significant portion of the Outer Heaven Demons, some still managed to escape amidst the chaos. They even abandoned the possessed bodies, fleeing as invisible demon shadows.

"Something’s wrong!"

"Why haven’t the Heavenly Dao Laws settled the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord?" Daoist Zhang calculated with his fingers, his expression surprised.

Demons descending to the world, leaving it in ruin.

Logically speaking, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord should be settled by this world’s laws, as he caused this calamity. Despite Daoist Zhang remaining in the world since the Northern and Southern dynasties, often reincarnating as a high-ranking figure of the Daoist sect, he has carefully avoided crossing that red line.

And now, it seems his plans have reached the stage of a supposed culmination, yet it’s unclear why that big fish didn’t fall into the net.

Daoist Zhang envisioned many contingency plans.

For instance, should the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord break through the void and fly away without bothering to clean up the mess, then he would emerge to clear the chaos of demons, reorganize the Daoist sects among humanity, and raise the ranks of many heavenly gods.

Take, for example, the position of Divine Spirit. In the future envisioned by Daoist Zhang, one person surnamed Wang should become Divine Spirit Wang, head of five hundred divine spirits, precisely a person sealed as a god during the Northern Song Dynasty.

The worst contingency plan would be if the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord not only stays but forcibly remains in this world to contend with him, then Daoist Zhang would inevitably engage in battle, while their calamity wreaked havoc, and he, having the fortune from natural predestination, would likely have the upper hand. Perhaps he might have a chance to slay an avatar of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord.

But now, the issue is that the signs of chaos among demons are indeed present, yet the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord doesn’t bear much karmic burden.

He indeed caused trouble.

But for some reason, this trouble is much smaller than Daoist Zhang anticipated.

The reason is clear.

Duncan used the bones of an Outer Heaven Demon God to refine the Southern Heavenly Gate, sealing the cracks in this world, and then used the skin of a Demon God to create the Human Emperor Banner, refining souls and spirits, and gathered the souls of the Northern Song armies to create Celestial Dao Soldiers, guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate and preventing more Outer Heaven Demons from descending upon the mortal realm.

This world has many martial arts experts, and the army includes many formidable generals. After their souls are refined, with the Heavenly Dao Law’s blessing, those Celestial Dao Soldiers easily deal with ordinary Outer Heaven Demons.

It’s as if a faucet has been plugged, preventing more Outer Heaven Demons from descending upon the mortal realm.

Duncan’s real calamity is the few hundred Outer Heaven Demons that escaped.

It’s bad!

A major event has gone awry.

Daoist Zhang, operating celestial mechanics, suddenly saw a towering gate in Yunnan, as if it were a portal to this world. The sight made him spew out an old mouthful of blood. Originally, this was a part of the plan he had laid out after ascending to the position of Heavenly Emperor, to gather the worldly fortune of hundreds of years, then conferring the Daoist gods, establishing the heavenly court’s order.

But now Duncan has done it.

Although the heavenly court may not exist at present, the Southern Heavenly Gate has been set up, Duncan, without hesitation, sacrifices his own path and splits open space, creating a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, which will become the nascent form of the heavenly court in the future.

This opportunity has been seized.

No matter how hard he tries in the future, the Southern Heavenly Gate is Duncan’s creation, unless he dares to risk dismantling the Southern Heavenly Gate to rebuild it. But then, who knows how many Outer Heaven Demons would flood in.

"It’s bad!"

"He’s going to appoint Duke of Thunder, Mother of Lightning, Divine Spirit!..."

Daoist Zhang’s eyes traversed space and saw the Human Emperor Banner made from the leg bones and human skin of an Outer Heaven Demon God. This item is a Celestial Dao Magical Artifact, recognized by the lord of this world. Duncan, borrowing the worldly fortune to refine it, though its essence resembles a soul summoning banner, with the Human Emperor’s rank blessing it, is already not weaker than a low-version Investiture of the Gods.

Duncan intends to use the Celestial Dao Magical Artifact to bind the gods.

Apart from the very few who become gods physically, other Divine Spirits seeking recognition from the Heavenly Dao must offer a thread of soul into the Human Emperor Banner.

"Such a divine artifact cannot fall into the hands of others!"

Holding the Human Emperor Banner, Duncan not only gathers the souls of deceased Northern Song soldiers but also draws a thread of soul from the earthly gods in the Guangdong and Guangxi, Ba and Shu regions, including many City Gods and Earth and Mountain Gods, to include them in the banner. The more complete the divine positions within, the more astonishing the power of this Celestial Dao Magical Artifact becomes.

When the Daoist sect spends hundreds of years building up its rank, it will be suppressed by this Investiture of the Gods, with all the gods under the list ranking below the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Lords.

Why did the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord suddenly overturn the table?

Daoist Zhang calculated with his fingers and couldn’t help but exclaim in anger: "This brat ruins my great plans!"

The current situation has completely escaped his control.

Duncan’s move has almost cornered him to despair. If he cannot disrupt the opponent’s layout, the future backlash from the Heavenly Dao’s fortune might lead to his demise, dissipating into oblivion.
