Longevity Chronicles

Chapter 902 - 579: In the Inferior Demon World, the Carefree Travel Scripture (Part 2)

"As expected of a Secret Demon Child from the Ancestor Land, delivering such a head-on blow to all the Daoist Brothers upon arrival."

"First, they swept away our subordinate Gods and Demons, then forcibly took Brother Cang Si's beloved wife and treasures. Now, even the Five Directions and Five Turbidities brothers and sisters are no match."

"Since they are so formidable, why not let us Demon Children from other realms each perform a Divine Skill to let this talent from the Ancestor Land experience the power of our Daoist Lineages."

Upon hearing these words, Tao Qian's expression changed slightly.

He originally thought he could argue a bit and stall for time.

But who would have expected that as soon as the voices fell, there would be an overwhelming response.

"Good!"

"Agreed!"

"It should be so!"

"Just in time, I have a method to consult the talent from the Ancestor Land."

In an instant, dozens of Secret Demon Children.

Nearly seventy percent of them acted simultaneously.

Though these weren't their most lethal Slaughter Divine Powers, they were still the signature skills of each major Secret Demon Daoist Lineage.

Moreover, they acted extremely quickly.

It seemed as if they had long planned to strike at this moment.

The planning was false, but the tacit understanding was real.

None of these Demon Children were pushovers, all were cunning and skilled in sneak attacks.

There was no need for prior discussion; as soon as Tao Qian showed such overwhelming prominence, seventy percent of the Secret Demon Children simultaneously conceived thoughts of eliminating him first or heavily wounding him.

Even Tao Qian was utterly unable to react at this moment.

In his eyes, the sky shattered and the world turned upside down.

Seventy percent of the Secret Demon Children joined forces to kill one person!

Even someone at the Daoist Transformation Realm would suffer calamity.

Escape?

That was impossible.

Tao Qian only had time to blink, then immediately called forth the [Evil-slaying Sword].

As soon as Tao Qian reached out and grasped the broken sword, a light breeze containing an intense, frenzied excitement suddenly blew forth.

All the Demon Children, regardless of whether they acted, felt something strange:

Their bodies, Heart Souls, even True Spirits seemed to be lightly nibbled?

As if tiny, sharp sword teeth were slowly grazing their souls, craving everything beneath their skin, flesh, Source Qi or otherwise.

Tingly!

Slightly painful!

This feeling was tolerable.

Yet everyone felt a shiver down their spine because of it.

"Is the Evil-slaying Sword longing to be restored?"

"If we poured all our blood and flesh into it, could we make those tiny sword teeth even one inch longer?"

As these two thoughts arose, many Secret Demon Children began to feel regret.

Clearly, they had underestimated the power of the Evil-slaying Sword and its degree of compatibility with Tao Qian.

They had only thought about a sudden mob killing to remove a strong competitor without paying any price.

But they hadn't considered it could evolve into this.

The conflict was on the verge of breaking out!

The remaining thirty percent of the Secret Demon Children who hadn't acted now turned pale and fled afar.

This included True Monarch Cang Si, surprisingly, he didn't make a move.

The reason for their departure: they could all see that the conflict was now inevitable, with seventy percent of the Demon Children united to kill Tao Qian. Once raised so high, there was no turning back, forcing Tao Qian into retaliation, compelled to exhaust everything to wield that [Evil-slaying Sword], knowing it had once slain countless Innate and Acquired Gods and Demons.

Even just the sword hilt and teeth remaining could kill a few Secret Demon Children with Perfect Ultimate Happiness?

Killing, definitely possible.

"Quick, flee further away; this sudden battle might result in the deaths of a dozen Secret Demon Children, including that Tao Buddha's son from the Ancestor Land."

"Disastrous, disastrous, disastrous!"

"Indeed, our Secret Demon Sect is the most adept at internal strife of all Daoist Lineages..."

Just as a Demon Child found time to mock.

A new twist suddenly arose.

This time, it came from below.

The Secret Demon Main Path was immensely vast, deep, leading to the distant inferior demon world.

If one looked in that direction, it was like staring into a deep abyss and the great deep space.

Just as Tao Qian and those seventy percent Secret Demon Children were both forced into a "life and death struggle," a sigh suddenly came from the deepest part of the Main Path, within the inferior demon world.

Anyone who heard the sigh had their body and Heart Soul stilled.

At the same time, they heard the chanting that accompanied the sigh.

Despite the many Secret Demon Children on the scene, each a talented genius of great comprehension, not a single one could discern what the scripture was.

Tao Qian is an exception.

But he achieved it by cheating, rather than truly having the ability.

At this moment, he only felt the world come to a standstill.

In his mind, a record slowly emerged, causing his eyes to widen:

[Currently suffering the erosion of the "Sea of White Void", cannot be exempted.]

[This is the Mystical Mist accompanying the Second Generation Ancestral Master "Xu Yu Zi" of the Secret Demon Sect, contaminated by his Daoist Transformation Origin Qi; only those in the Daoist Transformation Realm can resist. Even if touched by just a wisp of mist, one will lose autonomy over their Dharma Body and Heart Soul, at its mercy.]

[Due to his disposition, Xu Yu Zi left the Longevity Ancestor Land early and has not occupied any realm of the heavens, voluntarily guarding the inferior demon world, residing in the remnants of the Secret Demon Nest.]

...

[Currently listening to the "Carefree Travel Scripture", cannot be exempted.]

[This scripture, authored by the teacher of Xu Yu Zi, is recited incessantly after receiving its legacy. If any life listens and gains insight, they can obtain great benefits.]

[The time has not come and one's comprehension is insufficient, therefore cannot be analyzed.]

...

Two records surfaced, and Tao Qian immediately understood what was happening.

Evidently, a Second Generation Ancestral Master guarding the inferior demon world sensed that these Secret Demon children wanted to prematurely commence their struggle and thus intervened to prevent it.

Though he had some means, faced with at least a "Daoist Transformation Perfection" Second Generation Ancestral Master, he could not resist, not even retain his own power.

Only managed with other Secret Demon children to look down, as slightly smelly, icy white mist swiftly filled the Secret Demon Main Path.

This scene was truly terrifying.

One must know the vastness of this main path, capable of accommodating several stars.

Now, it transformed into an endless sea of wet mist.

Deep within the misty sea, a colossal shadow flashed past, never seen or felt by Tao Qian and the others.

Soon after, numerous glowing tentacles, or perhaps wrists or feet, extended from the depths of the misty sea.

Wrapping around each demon child, dragging them deep into the misty sea, inside the inferior demon world.

Perhaps it is meant as punishment!

The process is truly unpleasant.

Once settled, even Tao Qian's face turned pale, body trembling, as if he was about to vomit out all he had in his stomach.

But right now, no one cared about that, each still wrapped tightly by the glowing tentacles, unable to move or escape.

These soft wrists contained unimaginable power.

Tao Qian even doubted whether wielding the Evil-slaying Sword could cut through one.

Probably not, at most, he could inflict some wounds.

Unable to resist, the children of demons guessed that the source of these wrist-like tentacles was likely one of the Second Generation Ancestral Masters of the Secret Demon Sect.

As the Ancestral Master remained silent, they dared not speak much.

Only instinctively surveying their surroundings, the first sight being a vast sea of mist below.

Afterward, a jagged, pitch-black cold plateau came into view, strewn with ancient Secret Demon Sect building ruins.

All demons had divine skills, traversing the plateau, eventually observing a corner of the [inferior demon world].

Boundless!

Void!

Ruins!

This seemed like a ruin world infinitely extending in various directions across the Great Abyss.

In each ruin, another world seemed to exist, varying in size, bizarrely diverse, none repeating.

And within those broken worlds existed innumerable living entities.

Their original appearance and race were unknown.

After many years in this realm, they were deeply infiltrated by the "inferior demon source energy" pervading the nest, transformed into various demons.

The multitude of species was immeasurable, even the Ancestral Masters of the Secret Demon Sect couldn't count them all.

Only giving a remark:

Innately flawed, incapable of creation, all are inferior demons.

Because of this, despite the endless demons, they remained abandoned.

Even so, they dared not utter any complaint.

Not even one dared to approach this place.

At this moment, a path sound filled with void was heard from beneath the sea of mist, under the bodies of all demon children:

"I am Xu Yuzhi, requested by fellow Daoists to oversee you all."

"Earlier, before the trial in the main path started, you began slaughtering amongst yourselves. This violates the precepts and all must be punished."

Upon hearing this, the demon children had little objection.

Until the next moment, the void voice continued:

"Ancestor Land Demon Child Tao Qian!"

"You are exempted from punishment."
