Chapter 121

You sealed the lands of Tushan and Qingqiu, to prevent the Fox Clan's hiding place from being discovered by Mo Zu, and you imparted many Dao arts to the Fox Clan.

Some of these Dao arts were comprehended by you in Di Yu.

You selflessly imparted these Dao arts to the powerful ones of the Fox Clan in Qingqiu and Tushan.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Dao arts the Fox Clan itself comprehended, it would be difficult to become one of the flourishing races of the Two Realms.

After settling the Fox Clan, you wandered in Mortal Dust for some time.

You will miss Xiao Ya Huan, and you will also miss Ye Xue.

During this period, you heard much news about the Demon Dao.

After Mo Zu's battle with Tianhu Shizu, he remained unseen for a long time, yet the Demon Clan of the Blood-Painted Star Domain became increasingly reckless.

The Demon Clan's chaos swept across the Star and Mortal Realms.

Even though countless Demon Clan troublemakers were slain by the mighty ones of each domain, they continued to launch invasions endlessly.

You deeply know the nature of demons.

Mo Zu does not care about the lives and deaths of the Demon Clan's masses; even if the Demon Clan were utterly annihilated, to Mo Zu it is worthwhile as long as the goal is achieved.

"Have you seen it? Are you envious?"

In your mind, the voice of the Purple Mist Little One sounded again.

"That is what you aspire to!"

"You are Tianmo Chuan! You once swore to become the strongest Heavenly Demon! How could you let others take the Demon Clan's ancestral position?"

"Kill him! Go become Mo Zu!"

"The Demon Ancestor Position rightfully belongs to you!"

The voice of the Purple Mist Little One reverberated back and forth in your mind.

You step by step headed toward the Blood-Painted Star Domain.

Blood-colored patterns gradually spread, covering your body; your eyes narrowed, and two streaks of scarlet trailed from the corners of your eyes, like flowing blood lines.

The Demon Clan quickly noticed you.

The powerful aura emanating from you caused the Demon Clan to hesitate; none dared to block you.

"Xue Mo Chuan! He is Xue Mo Chuan!"

Some cultivators of the Heavenly Demon clan recognized you, shouting in alarm the name you once bore among the Demon Clan.

"Has Xue Mo Chuan returned? Wasn't he long dead in the old era?!"

"Even Xue Tianmo is dead; how could Xue Mo Chuan possibly still be alive?"

"How did he become this strong? This bearing even surpasses that of the original Xue Tianmo!"

You heard countless voices, their words revealing fear of you and shock at your return.

You strode forward with wanton arrogance, greatly enjoying such attention.

In the Blood-Painted Star Domain, where no living beings had dared to tread for years, you nonchalantly entered and locked onto an aura deep within the domain from afar.

"You have finally come."

Mo Zu strode forward, clad in a crimson long robe, as if he had long anticipated today.

"I come, on behalf of an old friend, to suppress you."

Your tone was insolent, and you arrogantly said: "Moreover, the Demon Ancestor Position is mine; you are unworthy."

"You have a perfectly good Heavenly Dao Divine Office to sit in, yet you insist on wading through the murky waters of the Living World; having abandoned the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, what are you before me?"

Mo Zu had long seen through your origins, and grew ever more arrogant.

"Devouring you will yield a better effect than that fox; let you become the final stepping stone for this seat to set foot in the Wangxian Realm."

You wished to suppress Mo Zu, and the other side likewise did not wish to devour you.

The Demon Dao is such that it is destined not to have two peaks standing side by side.

Mo Zu is confident of surpassing you, and you also have confidence in suppressing Mo Zu.

The great battle erupted in an instant.

Mo Zu cultivates the Path of Devouring; he rose amid the early chaos of the New Heaven and Earth, from an obscure nobody to the pinnacle of the Star Domain.

You once transformed to mortal, and also held a divine office; the Demon Dao you cultivate is not pure enough.

In the battle with Mo Zu, you were suppressed.

Had you not once stepped into the Wangxian Realm, and your understanding of the Great Dao Principles surpassed that of Mo Zu, you would likely have been defeated in a short time.

Mo Zu's devouring power is overly domineering.

Everything can be devoured by him and transformed into Demon Dao power.

One could even say that the entire Blood-Painted Star Domain is nourishment for Mo Zu.

Your decline is becoming ever more apparent.

At this moment, the voice of the Purple Mist Little One sounded again in your mind.

"Come! Merge with me!"

"Only by merging with me can you become a true demon!"

"You have already been a deity once; now you should taste what the Extreme Dao Demon is like."

"I will make you forget all worries, act solely for yourself, and experience the world's most extreme desires!"

"That is far more fun than being a deity."

Becoming a deity or a demon—everything lies within your thoughts.

A deity will thoroughly suppress your desires; a demon will thoroughly release them.

You stand at the center of the Balance Bridge; no matter which direction you step, everything will topple.

You have no third option.

The Mo Zu's offensive grew ever fiercer; all the techniques and divine powers you unleashed were devoured by him, and he grew stronger with each battle.

Mo Zu stretched out a hand from afar, conjuring a gigantic palm whose palm held a ferocious mouth, madly sucking your blood and qi.

""Hahaha! Great!""

""Is this the blood qi of one who once stepped into the Wangxian Realm? How wonderful!""

""Xue Mo Chuan, you truly delight this venerable one!""

You were almost turned into a blood person, your surging blood and qi, like mist, being devoured by Mo Zu.

The standoff lasted a long time.

Your body became withered, like a dry corpse, and you lifted your gaze to the smug Mo Zu.

Bang!

The next moment, that demonic hand with a ferocious mouth shattered.

The violent blood and qi sprayed uncontrollably in all directions, making the already crimson Blood-Painted Star Domain even more vivid and alluring.

""Why, after being devoured by me, can you still control your blood?""

Mo Zu voiced the question, yet was not startled.

You gave no answer; the sprayed blood fell upon every spot of the Blood-Painted Star Domain, like seeds, quickly taking root and sprouting.

Finally, they turned into blooming blood lotuses.

This is one of the supreme Dao arts you comprehended in Hell—the World-Destroying Blood Lotus.

Using your own deathly qi to stir the spirits of Hell, thereby breaking the boundary between life and death, you plant the lotus with your body.

The World-Destroying Blood Lotus, rooted in the Underworld Hell Principles, most strongly restrains the Dao of living beings, taking extreme demonic desire as nourishment, stirring the emotions of living beings.

In reincarnation, new life arises—I come from Hell!

Where the blood lotus blooms, desire knows no end.

""I am Tianmo Chuan; those who offer sacrifice to this venerable one may obtain the Extreme Dao Heavenly Demon Art.""

Your voice rang out simultaneously in the ears of countless living beings across the Blood-Painted Star Domain; this place is not only Mo Zu's lair, but also yours!

In an instant, endless power surged toward you.

Your desire was driven to the extreme.

At this moment, you have but one goal: to become the Strongest Heavenly Demon!
