Chapter 441: Chaos

Following the appearance of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor's manifestation.

Beneath the Demon-Subduing clear light.

Beside Fire Knight Alwin, an evil spirit that had been lurking and circling him was suddenly illuminated.

After being forced to reveal itself, this evil spirit opened its mouth to shriek in a desperate struggle, its entire body transforming into a streak of purple light as it attempted to plunge into the center of Fire Knight Alwin's brow.

Yet, the moment it made contact with his brow, it was like an egg striking a stone, perfectly embodying the act of overestimating one's own strength.

This was an avatar of a certain power of curse that had been clinging to Fire Knight Alwin ever since he entered this Small World.

Formless and colorless, insidious and bizarre.

It was just a pity that in front of Fire Knight Alwin, it could not exert the slightest effect.

In the end, it was even forced to reveal itself by the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor, dying a worthless death.

As the evil spirit dissipated.

A long, drawn-out sigh emanated from the base of the withered Divine Tree.

"These fellows, they actually refused to come down themselves, and instead found an outside helper like you?"

"Looking at your innate divine ability, it is extremely restraining toward the path of inner demons; it seems they must have discovered something?"

While this voice continued to emanate from this Jingtu.

A patch of soil suddenly sank down by several meters.

Afterward, a strange High Monk, appearing as if draped in pale tree bark with extremely thin and long limbs, and wearing a Kasaya that looked completely mismatched with his physique, slowly floated up from the pit.

Through Fire Knight Alwin, Su Ping saw this strange High Monk.

He discovered that his guess about entering the Jingtu appeared to be wrong.

Su Ping had originally assumed this was another scenario where an old divine monk of the Buddha Realm did not want to die, and thus was tempted and corrupted by the Dark Catastrophe.

Yet, upon seeing this strange High Monk, he discovered the other party was not that divine monk.

Rather, it was an Avatar of an inner demon that had split off from that old divine monk.

The good news: the inner demon Avatar had split off, which meant the old divine monk's true self had not yet fallen, and was likely still in a state of slumber and Seal.

As for the bad news, the splitting of this inner demon Avatar was naturally inseparable from the pollution of this space.

One could even make a bold guess that perhaps letting this inner demon Avatar actively bear all the pollution was a means of self-preservation for that old divine monk.

This resulted in the strange High Monk before him having the feeling of a Fate Child who was inextricably linked to this world in the dark.

Moreover, most of the Divine Tree's power had also been devoured by it to become nourishment for its growth.

Within the Yuanling it emitted, which carried bizarre Buddhist sounds.

If it were not for Fire Knight Alwin coming here, any other High Monk of the Great Vehicle Realm would likely have triggered their inner demons and immediately begun fighting amongst themselves.

Su Ping had Fire Knight Alwin praise the other party under the pressure, and spoke:

"You are the most perfect inner demon Avatar I have ever seen, and you still haven't fully grown yet."

"If you could completely succeed in taking this Divine Tree, and then devour a few more Small Worlds in the Buddha Realm."

"I fear even the Buddha Venerables joining forces would have to retreat step by step before you."

"These divine abilities of yours are all aimed at the Fomen lineage!"

"This indicates that the one behind you should have self-awareness, or at least one of their clones or Avatars has self-awareness."

The strange High Monk supported the ground with its thin, long arms in an M-shape, stretching its face, which resembled old tree bark, to look at Fire Knight Alwin.

In its hollow eye sockets, icy blue flames leaped.

"You are very special."

"Very, very special."

The High Monk opened its mouth; there were no organs inside, only a pitch-black hole resembling a black hole.

Yet, a voice emanated from within.

The tone of that voice was very strange, yet it was the Sanskrit that could be considered mainstream within the North King Time Domain's Fomen lineage.

Sanskrit, like Immortal script, possessed divine power in itself.

Learning it was naturally equally difficult.

Tian Rulai had also studied it bitterly for a period of time.

However, if one counted Tian Rulai's talent as level two after bitter cultivation.

Then this one was level ten, capable of influencing the level of Immortal Emperors above the Ninth Stage!

Of course, it was only influence; whether it could succeed depended on the firmness of one's various states of mind and Dao paths, and whether there were any flaws.

Under the other party's Sanskrit, Fire Knight Alwin's state of mind remained as firm as a rock.

This caused the pale blue flames in the strange High Monk's eye sockets to flicker a few more times.

"Truly strange, how did I miss a special fellow like you before?"

"However, it does not matter."

"This Shikong Haiyu is the next target chosen by Chaos."

"The awakening of Decay is merely the prelude to the start of the war."

"Special fellow, Chaos welcomes a special existence like you."

"Praise Chaos, accept Chaos, and then become one with Chaos... Nameless person, what do you think?"

When the strange High Monk asked this.

Accompanying its voice, a projection appeared behind it, using the entire world as a screen.

In that projection was a world like a vast universe composed of countless burning planets emitting various evil rays of light.

In that world, evil red halos flew everywhere, and there were clusters of red light about the size of planets randomly darting back and forth.

Looking closely, one could see endless Chaos Demon Gods and monsters of various shapes laughing heartily and slaughtering each other within.

Even if those Chaos monsters are blasted until their Divine Soul is completely annihilated.

They can still be reborn from some red light somewhere.

This makes their life-and-death struggles a daily game.

Furthermore, there are also Chaos monsters constantly devouring various foods, and even tearing off parts of their own bodies to fill themselves.

Likewise, no matter how they gorge themselves, they can recover as good as new whenever they want.

As for the wild release of other desires, one can also catch a glimpse of it to some extent in the projection.

Fire Knight Alwin tilts his head, watching with great interest.

The strange High Monk and the Chaos evil spirit possessing the strange High Monk, however, have fallen into an eerie silence.

"What kind of monster is this guy?"

The Heart Demon Avatar looks at Fire Knight Alwin's handsome face, feeling some jealousy in his calm state of mind.

The Chaos evil spirit deliberately displays the Chaos Divine Power to reveal a corner of the Dark Disaster Chaos.

Naturally, it would not be without a purpose.

Whether it is language or projection, it is all to allow the Chaos Power to erode the other party, letting the other party become like them, praising Chaos, worshipping Chaos... a dog!

But why, after the other party has watched for so long, is there not the slightest reaction of being affected?

Back then, I myself fell after just a momentary glimpse.

I even believed in my heart that the Chaos World was the destination they should reach after many years of bitter cultivation.

Maintaining this projection is obviously very strenuous.

After just over ten breaths, realizing this move has no effect.

The strange High Monk shakes his head, and the projection behind him immediately dissipates.

This makes Su Ping feel slightly disappointed.

The scenery in Chaos has special features everywhere.

Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one.

Not to mention those Chaos demon gods and monsters in Chaos, the weakest of which are existences above Dao Integration.

Whether they are fighting, devouring, or releasing other desires.

After ignoring the Mental Pollution, if taken for a genius to comprehend, perhaps after a period of time, they could comprehend some divine abilities and techniques.

After Su Ping memorizes everything and seals it away.

Although he does not respond to the other party.

Both sides know that the previous proposal is impossible to achieve.

Thus, accompanied by another light sigh.

The surroundings of the sacred tree, which was originally the Jingtu, suddenly seem to fade, and the protection suddenly dissipates.

Then, the sky seems to crack open a large hole.

From the opening, pairs of pitch-black hands stretch out.

At the same time, silver-white scriptures emerge on the body of the strange High Monk.

These are all scriptures of the Fomen; as they glow, the sound of Buddhist scriptures also rings out, and one can even see Buddha Pagodas appearing in mid-air.

Each passage of scripture carries the weight of billions of tons, about to press down on Fire Knight Alwin.

At this moment, Su Ping, knowing his own capabilities, has Fire Knight Alwin take a step back, retreating behind the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor.

Swish!

The Dharma form of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor also moves at this moment.

The True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword is drawn.

With one sword strike, the sword light slashes through the pitch-black hands stretching out from the hole.

At the same time, this Emperor steps forward, and the phantoms of the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird appear on his body.

Once the Four Symbols phantoms appear, they immediately collide with the strange High Monk.

Those chains formed by the scriptures could originally intercept even the movement of a Small Thousand World.

Upon touching the Four Symbols, it cannot be said they collapsed at a single touch, but they shattered upon contact.

Boom!

The chains shatter, and the scriptures dissipate.

Cracks appear on the tree-bark body of the strange High Monk.

Su Ping feels a bit of heartache over the massive amount of Divine Power consumed by the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor.

But now is not the time to be stingy.

With a thought in his heart, the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor swings his Long Sword again.

The sword light follows the path torn open by the Four Symbols and slashes across the face of the strange High Monk.

In an instant, it splits the body of the strange High Monk in two.

The strange High Monk's thin, long body falls.

Yet, it does not lose its vitality due to the Demon-Subduing Clear Light; instead, after wriggling like soft mud for a few moments, it recovers.

However, its gaze toward Fire Knight Alwin carries a trace of surprise.

"To think you could wound our True Spirit."

"Something is wrong, this True God you summoned... exactly what kind of sacred being is it!"

The Chaos evil spirit inside the strange High Monk, besides being bewildered, also feels some fear.

It leaps violently, and actually vanishes into the sky, disappearing from sight.

At the same time, the entire world turns into a gray-white and pitch-black world.

More and more black holes appeared in the sky, and various corrupted realms emerged on the ground as well.

True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor swung his sword once more, destroying the countless black hands descending from the sky with a single strike.

…………

In the sky, although he was somewhat surprised that his move had been broken again.

The strange High Monk's voice let out a cackle:

"This world has already become a part of us."

"Although we cannot borrow Chaos Power because of the arrangements made by those old things."

"But it does not matter; relying on the power generated by this world itself is enough to wear you down!"

"Keep breaking them, and after you are exhausted, you will become our plaything."

"I must study your Divine Soul to see exactly what is special about it that allows you to ignore the temptation of Chaos!"

Su Ping had True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor continue to slash and destroy the attacks encroaching from all sides.

He himself had Fire Knight Alwin return to the front of the withered Divine Tree.

He extended his right hand and placed it against the surface of the tree.

Hum!

As his mental power permeated inside, he established a connection with the Divine Tree.

Su Ping could feel the consciousness of the Divine Tree trapped by the power of Chaos.

Su Ping could feel it.

The grievance and anger of being invaded and having its power forcibly extracted.

Filled the inner consciousness of this Divine Tree.

Su Ping could not help but nod slightly; fortunately, there was still a chance to avoid using his trump card of Void Divine Power.

Su Ping had Fire Knight Alwin use the Abundant Spirit Water.

The Purifying Spirit Water was of too low a grade to be of much use, and on the other hand, there was not enough time to pour in such a large quantity to achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change.

Furthermore, the Divine Tree was suppressed, and Su Ping could feel that it was mainly influenced by a certain shadow of Chaos Power in terms of its status.

That was a phantom of a Chaos Demon God.

It sat cross-legged, presiding over the consciousness of the Divine Tree, suppressing the Divine Tree's resistance.

However, as the Abundant Spirit Water dripped down.

The dripping sound also caused the phantom of the Chaos Demon God to wake up abruptly.

It raised its massive head, which had five bull horns, and saw the foundation of Rule Power contained within the Spirit Water.

"How... is this possible?"

"This is, Rule?"

The phantom of the Chaos Demon God trembled all over, just from seeing the figure behind the Abundant Spirit Water.

It dissipated into nothingness entirely.

Without the suppression of the Chaos Demon God's phantom.

Once the Spirit Water fell, the Divine Tree used the help of this suddenly appearing Divine Power to cleanse the pollution of Chaos Power from its body.

Immediately!

The Divine Tree, which should have been withered, suddenly kept growing taller and larger.

In the blink of an eye, it was like a slide show.

The Divine Tree had transformed into a towering tree ten thousand meters high.

On the trunk, pieces of paulownia leaves appeared.

The white light of the leaves spread out in a flash, allowing this world to return to normal.

Although what had died and been destroyed could not be restored.

It still allowed the world to regain its vitality.

And at the moment when the vitality emerged.

In the sky, the strange High Monk also had to reveal his true form again and was immediately locked onto by True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor.

"How is this possible?"

"That was the prohibition of the four Demon Venerables of Chaos; how could it be broken?"

The strange High Monk found it hard to accept.

The Chaos Evil Spirit, however, already had the intention to retreat.

It violently detached itself from the strange High Monk's thin, long body.

Seeing that it was about to open a black dot to escape and leave the Buddha Realm.

But then, a voice of the Immeasurable Buddha Venerable was heard.

A beam of Buddha light descended, directly pinning down the Chaos Evil Spirit.

Following closely, the sword light of True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor had already fallen.

In one stroke, it destroyed this strange High Monk and the Chaos Evil Spirit.

Without the protection of the Divine Tree and this world.

This time, they had no possibility of resurrection.

The Buddha light vanished.

Fire Knight Alwin also received a message.

It was unexpectedly from the holy monk who was buried underground and had almost fallen along with it.

He had relied on the Seal Hubo and throwing out his inner demon Avatar as a shield to block the Chaos pollution.

At the same time Su Ping resurrected the divine tree, he also awoke from a certain profound state, and after perceiving the situation on the scene, he decisively chose to take action.

This divine monk seemed to have known the cause and effect at the same time.

He thanked Fire Knight Alwin.

Then he spoke words that made Su Ping feel this High Monk was reliable.

It was that he believed the Xiantian Changqing Shensheng had a predestined affinity with Fire Knight Alwin.

Perhaps following him to where the Salvation Lineage was located could allow it to play a greater role.

Therefore, this time, in addition to the promised High-grade Spirit Stone as payment.

Su Ping could also take this divine tree home.
