Chapter 358: Ji Du: Not? Who Between Us Two Is the Demonic Path?!

The Dinghong Stele, it actually came flying toward me?!

At this moment, Yang Mei's scalp went numb, his heart violently shaken.

What is going on?!

More importantly, no matter how hard he tried, he seemed unable to break free from the Dinghong Stele's seal.

In the dark, there was a ferocious, unstoppable force, dragging him relentlessly, trying to pull him into the interior of the Dinghong Stele.

Indeed, that was exactly the case.

In but a short moment, the azure light completely overwhelmed and descended.

And Chen Ku and Yang Mei Daxian were once again inside the Dinghong Stele.

To the outside world, they had simply vanished, disappearing without a trace.

But at the same time.

All kinds of events in the outside world were still undergoing drastic changes.

At this moment, the primordial black canopy that blotted out the sky and sun, capable of destroying the world, had been completely blown away by the Time Tower, flapping loudly, hanging in a corner.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed about to flee.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti had a tacit understanding.

"Suppress!"

With a low shout, the two acted in unison.

The sage's might was overwhelming.

In a single thought, they seized the black banner.

Instantly, Jieyin and Zhunti also felt something.

"Hiss... Primordial Banner? This is actually an innate treasure?!"

Jieyin exclaimed, already sensing the nature of this treasure.

An innate treasure—this is even more precious than top-grade innate spiritual treasures, let alone innate supreme treasures.

This time, Yang Mei Daxian has essentially sent himself another great opportunity.

Zhunti couldn't help but gasp, sighing softly:

"Hehe..."

"That Yang Mei Daxian, to set up an ambush, actually didn't hesitate to discard such a level of spiritual treasure."

"Truly... extravagant."

If Yang Mei Daxian heard this, he would surely spit blood in anger?!

Is that something this venerable one willingly discarded?!

Moreover.

Furthermore, the Chaos Green Lotus also displayed its divine power, suppressing the Dinghong Stele, preventing it from flying out of the primordial world.

After all, as long as it remains here, Chen Ku still has a chance to escape.

But once it reaches beyond the Chaos Realm, who knows what will happen.

Immediately after, Jieyin spoke again in a low voice:

"Bring forth the spiritual treasure, guard this great realm!"

The words fell, and Zhunti nodded.

Immediately, each of them produced the Five Elements Yin-Yang Disk and the Seven Treasure Wondrous Tree.

Endless immortal light poured down, divine radiance burst forth, shining in harmony.

The area of billions upon billions of miles was completely suppressed.

No one could easily escape from this realm.

Of course, Jieyin and Zhunti's action was also to protect Chen Ku from being taken away from the primordial world.

Just after completing all this.

Above the heavens, boundless red light suddenly appeared, accompanied by a towering figure.

The comer was none other than Hong Yun.

Although previously told to guard the Western Buddhist Sect, now this battle was simply too shocking to ignore.

And Yang Mei Daxian, an existence of such stature, had already appeared.

Hong Yun naturally could not remain indifferent, and came directly.

"This... this, what on earth is going on?!"

Upon appearing, Hong Yun asked, bewildered.

He stared at the Dinghong Stele before him, feeling utterly unfamiliar and doubtful.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin also stared at the Dinghong Stele and replied:

"This matter is again the scheme of Yang Mei and company."

"They have already trapped Chen Ku's disciple using this treasure."

"Now, they are clashing within the world inside the stele."

Jieyin explained the dragon's vein.

Upon hearing his account, Hong Yun's expression changed dramatically.

"What? Fellow Daoist Chen Ku is trapped inside?!"

"Then we should not delay—hurry and act to rescue Fellow Daoist Chen Ku?!"

Before the words finished, Hong Yun moved to prepare for action.

Or rather, he intended to directly charge into the world inside the Dinghong Stele to assist Chen Ku.

However, at this moment, Zhunti spoke up:

"Wait!"

"Do not act rashly; Yang Mei and the others will be dealt with by my grandnephew Chen Ku."

"We should remain here to bless Xingtian's safety; that is most important."

"He is today's most crucial pawn and must not be lost."

Jieyin also nodded in agreement.

Today's events can be said to have arisen because of Xingtian, or rather because Yang Mei and the others used Xingtian as a pawn to set their scheme in motion.

Moreover, the Wu Clan still does not understand the mystery here.

Once Xingtian dies, all that the Western Buddhist sect has done will still come to nothing.

Furthermore, they previously witnessed with their own eyes that Chen Ku took the initiative to act, dragging Yang Mei into the world within the Dinghong Stele.

Judging by this, Chen Ku may well have everything under control, so there is no need to worry overly.

As for the world within the Dinghong Stele:

A flash of divine light, and Chen Ku and Yang Mei's figures fell out.

Seeing this, Ji Du, who had just been grim-faced, suddenly sneered coldly.

"Hmph, what of the laws of time..."

"Still unable to escape this..."

Ji Du was full of mockery.

He naturally assumed that Chen Ku's temporal law had also failed, making it ultimately impossible to escape the Dinghong Stele's bonds, right?!

However, before he finished speaking, an unintentional glance revealed Yang Mei's face deathly pale, filled with shock and horror.

Instantly, Ji Du's words cut off, and he stared at Yang Mei in disbelief, exclaiming:

"Yang Mei?!"

"Why... why are you also here?!"

Clearly, this scene was completely beyond Ji Du's expectation.

Hearing this, Yang Mei's face also sank like water, glaring angrily at Ji Du.

"Damn it!"

"It was Chen Ku who dragged me in here!"

His words paused, and Yang Mei showed a thoughtful expression, finally realizing something.

"He... he seems to have used the ability to constrict the timeline, making it impossible for me to resist."

Indeed!

The earlier shock and horror gradually calmed down.

Yang Mei the Immortal also sensed the strangeness of it.

He faintly realized that he had seemingly been forcibly dragged back by Chen Ku from a mysterious and divine timeline.

After all, his earlier sneak attack had come without any warning.

By reason, Chen Ku should not have been able to detect his presence.

Only time could imprint what had happened, leaving no trace missing.

After all, as a space demon god, he had once witnessed the might of temporal law.

Yang Mei's realization of this is not surprising.

And indeed, it is true.

At this moment, Chen Ku showed a strange smile.

He seemed to have discovered more wonderful uses of temporal law.

Previously, Yang Mei intended to disguise himself as him, slay Xingtian, and stir up hatred between the Buddhist sect and the Wu Clan.

But temporal law not only allows one to trace back to earlier times, but can also directly trap Yang Mei within this Dinghong Stele.

Thus, Yang Mei could not possibly carry out that framing act.

And precisely for this reason, Chen Ku appeared quite composed.

"Hehe, next..."

"We can settle accounts properly."

He chuckled lightly, looked at Yang Mei and Ji Du, and said thus.

On the other side, Yang Mei and Ji Du's faces were both extremely grim.

The sneak attack had already failed, and now all three were trapped within the Dinghong Stele.

It seems only a direct confrontation remains.

"This child has comprehended extremely profound temporal law; do not underestimate him!"

Ji Du said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, although Yang Mei did not speak, his eyes were also full of solemnity and reverence.

This information also startled him greatly.

"Chen Ku's rate of improvement is too astonishing."

"No use saying more!"

"No need to hide anything—use your methods!"

Yang Mei responded to Ji Du thus.

Clearly, the two still had other schemes.

Indeed!

Hearing Yang Mei's words, Ji Du's face turned grim, yet he said nothing more.

He stared fixedly at Chen Ku, then let out a sudden, loud shout.

"Demons, hear my command, form the array!"

The words had barely fallen.

In an instant, cries of battle erupted all around, vast and extraordinary, deafening.

As far as the eye could see, vast waves of demonic energy surged forth, covering the sky and earth, immense as an abyss.

Beneath that overwhelming demonic aura, countless figures likewise surged forward to attack.

At a rough glance, there were tens of millions, densely packed, causing heart-pounding dread and chills down the spine.

Demons!

This is the race originally created by Rahu, opposed to the Immortal Dao.

And Ji Du, as the chief of the Four Great Demon Generals from that time, naturally commands countless demonic beings.

No need to say more—these demons had long lain hidden in ambush, awaiting only his order to reveal themselves thus.

Every demonic being surged with demonic energy, their faces twisted and ferocious, exuding a gloomy, bloodthirsty aura.

Slaughter seemed deeply rooted in their hearts, enduring through countless ages, impossible to cleanse entirely.

Yet Chen Ku merely glanced briefly, his expression calm and untroubled, showing no trace of panic.

"Demons, then..."

"Merely some Taiyi Golden Immortals, or perhaps Golden Immortals of the Great Luo, at best."

He said this in a single sentence.

Beings of such a level, in his eyes now, were already not worth mentioning.

Beneath a sage, all are ants.

Even more so in the eyes of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even if the demons were of Daluo Golden Immortal level, Chen Ku could slay them with a single thought.

Upon hearing that his countless demon subjects were thus scorned by Chen Ku, Ji Du's face also stiffened.

Thereafter, his expression grew ever more sinister and ferocious.

"Sharp-tongued brat!"

"How could you possibly know the wonder of my demon race's great array?!"

He replied with a single sentence.

At the same time, the countless demons had already begun forming the array.

Only seen, countless figures arranged in the four directions, each holding a battle flag, fluttering in the wind, raising endless mournful gusts.

Yin and evil!

Deceitful and treacherous!

The demon army's flags hunted, countless zhang of demonic energy surged and condensed into substance.

Boom—rumble—rumble!

Heaven's sound rang forth, heavy and vast, making hearts tremble, bone-chilling cold.

How magnificent this sight!

Not long after, boundless demonic energy rose and fell, intertwining.

A colossal demonic furnace, spanning several tens of millions of li, lay horizontally, just enough to envelop Chen Ku within.

Beneath the demonic furnace, black flames blazed fiercely, like the karmic fire erupting from hell, possessing the terrifying might to burn through the heavens and consume all things.

Surveying his surroundings, Chen Ku wore a faint smile, yet sighed:

"Alas, alas..."

"Everyone says the demon race has long been extinct."

"Who would have thought that even now, so many demonic beings still cling to life?"

As he spoke, Chen Ku extended his divine sense, observing and sensing the profundity of the so-called demon great array.

This time, his heaven-defying comprehension finally reacted.

【You observed the demon great array, experienced it firsthand, comprehended 10% of the demonic dao principles!】

Upon hearing this prompt in his sea of awareness, Chen Ku's eyes instantly brightened.

Another ten percent comprehended?!

How delightful!

It seems this demon great array indeed possesses something extraordinary.

Or rather, the gathering of tens of millions of demonic beings to set up the array also releases sufficiently profound and rich demonic dao principles.

This is what allowed Chen Ku to comprehend again.

Moreover, back when he was on Rahu's body, Chen Ku had already comprehended many demonic dao principles.

Now, with demonic dao principles in his heart, looking at the demon great array before him, it was no longer something obscure or profound.

Even, it might be said that Chen Ku understands this demon great array better than Ji Du.

But on the other side, Ji Du does not know what Chen Ku thinks.

"Today, let you taste the might of my demon great array."

Ji Du said this with a cold smile.

Hearing this, Chen Ku came back to his senses.

His gaze toward Ji Du held only deep disdain.

"Just this?!"

"Not enough to see, not nearly enough to see!"

Arrogant!

Overbearing!

Chen Ku's response was blunt.

Upon hearing this, Ji Du became even more furious.

"Let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"

"Kill!"

With that command, he finally stopped wasting words.

Instantly, millions of the Demon Race shouted in unison, the battle flags in their hands fluttering up like surging waves, endless and continuous.

The formation began to operate.

The black flames grew even more intense, leaping up to a height of tens of thousands of zhang.

Immediately after, it released intense waves of scorching heat, wave after wave sweeping toward Chen Ku.

If it were any other ordinary primordial great power, even a single strand of flame would be enough to burn away their qi and blood, reducing their flesh to ashes.

However, Chen Ku at this moment was as calm as taking a leisurely stroll in a quiet courtyard.

No matter how endless the demonic flames rose around him, he remained unmoving.

No!

More precisely, every strand of demonic flame that touched Chen Ku's flesh saw large portions of demonic laws instantly annihilated, making it impossible to display divine power.

This is the power of comprehending the demonic laws.

The demonic flames attacking him did not cause Chen Ku the slightest pain or panic.

On the contrary, he even felt a sense of affinity.

Each strand of demonic flame, to him, felt like an endless source of power being drawn in.

At a certain moment, Chen Ku also made a move.

"Break!"

He softly uttered a command.

At the same time, he thrust out a palm.

This palm appeared light and casual, as if done offhandedly.

But the next moment.

Whoosh...

Whoosh...

Only then did one see that beneath this palm, before Chen Ku, the tens of thousands of zhang-wide demonic flames suddenly surged, exploding outward in a shocking manner and sweeping instead toward the demonic beings.

The black sea of fire spread, and in an instant, swallowed tens of thousands of the Demon Race.

"Ah......"

"Ah......"

For a time, various mournful screams echoed without cease.

Seeing this, Ji Du's pupils contracted sharply.

"Why?!"

"How can he also control demonic fire?!"

Ji Du stared again, dumbfounded, feeling profound disbelief.

Demonic fire, except for those who master demonic laws, absolutely cannot be controlled.

However, before Ji Du could continue thinking further.

Chen Ku also simply stopped pretending.

With a thought, the demonic laws he mastered surged forth in a mighty release.

Boom!

Following this, Chen Ku's aura suddenly surged, shocking the ten directions and the universe.

At this moment, Ji Du's heart was greatly alarmed.

No way?!

Who exactly is the demonic path?!
