Chapter 238: I Am the Heart Demon of Your Life

Qian Chen said: "You know that although the Profound Emperor is somewhat muddled! But the Great Tang has not lost the hearts of the people, and An Lushan will die sooner or later. So, you want to use An Lushan to first destroy the Great Tang in the hearts of the people of the world, as a pioneer, and then you can calmly swallow An Lushan's foundation. Not only can you have his subordinates and influence, but you can also use his cultivation foundation to forge a more powerful life-bound god-demon. Finally, push all the sins and karmic force onto An Lushan. With the identity of an innocent person, or even a scholar who killed An Lushan to ask for his crimes, you can re-collect the hearts of the people of the world—and carry out the usurpation of the Tang!"

When the Profound Emperor heard "muddled," his expression was unkind, but Qian Chen spoke calmly and unhurriedly, as if he had this status and could naturally accuse him. The Profound Emperor endured it...

He didn't even need to hear what Qian Chen said later; he knew who the mortal enemy was now.

The Supreme Clarity Pearl floated in the hands of the Profound Emperor, manifesting a world within itself. Between the gathering and dispersing of clear qi, pavilions and towers, immortals and exotic beasts, and countless rays of immortal light intertwined, signaling that this pearl was a supreme treasure, even among magic treasures.

"Li Linfu, your original plan must have been to use the demonic nature hidden in the Buddhist bone, like manipulating a puppet, to swallow all the foundations after An Lushan cultivated into a Supreme Supreme Tian Mo, becoming the nourishment for your resurrection. An Lushan is the puppet, and you are the magic-manipulator!"

"So you divided your essence into three parts: your soul hidden in the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele, your cultivation hidden in the Buddhist bone, and your demonic nature hidden in An Lushan's magic heart. But now, not only did An Lushan not cultivate into a Primordial Spirit, but even his Immortal Magic Body was slashed by me. You failed to seize his foundation and only picked up some leftovers. Even the magic heart was slashed by me along with An Lushan's demonic nature, and your realm was broken."

"You only have one spirit treasure, the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele, which is your weakest moment. This body now is just an empty shell! Besides the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele, what else do you have left?"

Qian Chen laughed: "The Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele is not as good as the Shangqing Pearl. Once the magic stele is restrained, you are not even as good as An Lushan!"

"Your Majesty... are you still not taking action?"

The Profound Emperor did not need Qian Chen to analyze so much for him; he already knew who the real threat was. The Shangqing Pearl was thrown from his hand, and with just one smash, it smashed the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele that Li Linfu had hurriedly put up into the dust. And at this time, Li Linfu was at his weakest, and even a righteous cultivator at the peak of Core Formation could kill him.

But at this moment, Crown Prince Li Heng, who was standing behind the Profound Emperor, suddenly had a ferocious expression. He backhanded a trail of blood flames and slapped the Profound Emperor's back. The countless seals in the Xingqinggong, the protective spiritual light of the Shangqing Pearl, and the guards who had never left the Profound Emperor's side...

Among the protections that were almost foolproof, the only one who was not on guard was the Great Tang Crown Prince, Li Heng, who also had the authority of the Shangqing Pearl.

No one could have thought that Li Heng would take action at this time.

Li Mi shouted, "Crown Prince, what are you doing?"

"Crown Prince, are you rebelling?" He Zhizhang roared.

Even the officials following the Crown Prince panicked. Someone shouted loudly: "It's not the time yet! Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, this is not the time to seize power!"

There were also those who, although panicked, hardened their hearts and went along with the mistake, shouting to the thousands of guards in the tower: "Those who protect the Crown Prince's ascension will be enfeoffed as Dukes!" The traditional program of the Great Tang was actually staged at this moment that no one expected.

After Li Heng sneak-attacked the Profound Emperor's back, he actually had a look of horror, as if he hadn't expected it himself. He looked tremblingly at the palace guards rushing toward him, rushed a few steps toward He Zhizhang on the hall, and decisively rolled his eyes and fainted.

At this moment, the Crown Prince's officials were all dumbfounded.

Seeing Yan Shu roared and killed toward Li Linfu. The palace was in chaos in an instant, and the Rainbow Feather Garment Melody that was playing stopped halfway. The purple clouds dissipated. Li Linfu, wearing An Lushan's skin, laughed, broke through the spiritual light suppressed by the Shangqing Pearl, merged with the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Stele, easily blocked Seeing Yan Shu's sword light, and broke through the Purple Cloud Array and left.

Qian Chen sighed and closed his eyes.

He looked back and said: "Calculated all the secrets of heaven, but in the end, let the magic dragon go. All efforts wasted!"

"No need to argue! Li Heng is controlled by others. What he hit into the Profound Emperor's body is a demon. This demon can destroy a person's heart and nature, making people's minds muddled!"

He Zhizhang's beard and hair drifted disheveled on his chest, and he asked in shock: "What kind of demon can plot against the Crown Prince and the Emperor in this Xingqinggong, with these countless forbidden methods, and even the spiritual light of the Shangqing Pearl?"

"Of course it is the Child-Mother Heart-Confusing Demon refined from the bones of the Profound Emperor's mother, Consort Dou! There are very few curses and evil arts in the world that can break the spirit treasure's divine light and palace seals. Besides this kind of demon refined with bloodline cause and effect, who else can do it?" Qian Chen turned around and roared.

He sneered and looked around: "Master Miaokong, at my weakest moment, you still didn't dare to take action!"

"You cannot break through the heart demon I brought you. In this life, you will never have the courage to take action against me again. Run! Run while I am blocking the magic calamity! Otherwise, having lost the merit of waiting for work at ease, my next action will be the time of your death!"

The reason Qian Chen fought until he was exhausted was to lure out Master Miaokong, this last uncertain factor, and let this poisonous snake bite himself with its most fatal fangs, but the shadows he left for Master Miaokong were too deep and heavy.

When Qian Chen had exhausted all his trump cards, Master Miaokong actually did not dare to take action against him.

That moment was truly the time when Master Miaokong had the greatest opportunity to take action. Having missed this opportunity, just as Qian Chen said, if he didn't dare to take action at such a time, Master Miaokong would never dare to face Qian Chen head-on again. This would be the heart demon of his life.

Qian Chen finally pointed this out, which was the first sword slashed toward Master Miaokong.

"I won!" The person in the dark sneered in his heart, but his trembling hands explained something: "He said so just to shake my mind. I saw through his trap of using his body as bait to lure me into the hook, and took action in the dark, making his great plan to remove demons fail."

"If I had taken action, with his viciousness and cunning, who knows how many ambushes he still had!"

"This is not my heart demon, I won! I am more vicious and cunning than you, I am the demon, you are not!" Master Miaokong roared frantically in his heart: "I absolutely did not fear you! No!"

Qian Chen walked out of the Huage Xianghui Tower. He didn't even look back at the Profound Emperor who had been plotted against. He knew that when he walked out of the tower, the last chance to save the magic calamity had also failed. What he would face next was the surging magic calamity that was about to destroy the Great Tang—the Heaven-Tilting Magic Calamity.

"If I cannot slash the magic calamity in the bud, then with one person and one sword, together with the righteous path of this world, I will suppress it alive. Since the sky is about to tilt, I shall use one hand—to save the tilting sky!"

"My sword, no resentment, no regrets!"

Seeing Yan Shu came to his side. There was no disappointment of all efforts wasted on his face, only firm and enlightened heroism. He held the sword box, letting the blood slide from his shoulder, still laughing, and asked Qian Chen: "Qian Shidi, if Master Miaokong had really taken action against you at that time, it would have been a world-shaking blow. Qian Shidi, did you really have a way to deal with it?"

"Killing him is like slaughtering a dog!" Qian Chen sneered.

After walking far away, he suddenly laughed: "Perhaps I was really fighting for my life? Master Miaokong missed the only chance in his life to kill me, who knows. After all, fighting a Primordial Spirit while penetrating the law, and still wanting to hide too many trump cards, is a joke."

"Others are, but you, Qian Shidi? I don't believe it... at least you can still fall into the magic path!"

Qian Chen looked at the mess after the prosperity of the Thousand Autumn Festival had dissipated and could not help but sigh.

"Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, Junior Sister Ning, the sky of the Great Tang is about to collapse! Tomorrow is the moment when this prosperous age collapses... Having killed An Lushan, our mission there with the Lord of Samsara is also completed!"

"Qian Shidi, you want to retreat?"

Qian Chen's footsteps paused slightly, and he said faintly: "I have never had a way to retreat..."

"My sword, would rather break than bend!"

Ning Qingchen said in a low voice: "I also want to hold up this Heaven-Tilting Calamity with my Yan Shixiong Brothers. With these tens of millions of people in Chang'an and the countless living beings of the Great Tang, one should uphold the righteous path. Even if I die for it, I... will not regret it!"

"Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, Yan Yan Shixiong Qian!" Si Qingguo rushed up from behind. She had taken off her gorgeous clothes and simply wore a Daoist robe. Seeing Yan Shu laughed: "Why are you following us instead of watching the Profound Emperor?"

"The magic calamity is coming, and there is no need for me to be your ears and eyes at the Profound Emperor's place anymore! Moreover, I am no longer this princess. Princess Yuzhen entrusted me to find her mother's remains, but in the end..." Si Qingguo sighed: "How can I still have the face to inherit her identity?"

Qian Chen said sternly: "Then guard the Great Tang for her once!"

The day after the Thousand Autumn Festival, the Profound Emperor fell into a coma, the Crown Prince was imprisoned, the Heaven-Tilting Magic Calamity occurred, the Nine Nethers opened, Luoyang fell, and a million magic troops had broken through Tongguan and besieged Chang'an!

On this day, white bones covered the vast land, and the living beings in the whole city were hung upside down... ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
