Chapter 272: Un-transforming Bone, Azure Heaven Blood, Avici Ghost, Demon Painted Skin

The bone-textured Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli was as warm and moist as jade, hanging in Qian Chen's palm like a beautiful jade pearl.

Xin Xin Shisan Niang only thought this was a magic treasure of Qian Chen's, feeling only that the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli was full of Dao rhyme and must have some miraculous properties.

Seeing that after Qian Chen had taken out so many strange demon path objects, he finally used a righteous path magic treasure. Xin Xin Shisan Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief—how could a true inheritor of the Dao Sect have bone forests, blood rivers, evil Buddhas, and poison corpses by his side?

A normal magic treasure finally appeared, otherwise she would have thought Qian Chen was a demon lord impersonating a true inheritor of the Dao Sect!

Staring at the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli in his palm, Qian Chen was silent for a long time before whispering and smiling: "This object has been with me for a long time, and it was originally a foundation of my lineage... Alas, the Dao is different!"

At this moment, many feelings surged into his heart. When facing Miaokong, all kinds of calculations were only slightly better, but after merging with the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli—that power of controlling the life and death of demon lords between flipping his hands; that strength of achieving Nascent Soul in an instant; that freedom of being unscrupulous and doing whatever he wanted.

Qian Chen closed his eyes and missed it slightly for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, it was already clear.

He smiled slightly and waved his hand to strike out the Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli. At this moment, amidst the eight great halls, under the encirclement of the Innate Eight Trigrams Array, a young demon god with three heads and eight arms suddenly appeared.

Demon qi soared into the sky, and the turbid and evil qi of the entire demon abyss gathered toward that figure.

That bone forest, that turbid blood river, that poison corpse evil Buddha, and the huge energy accumulated in the demon cave were all seized by the phantom of that demon god at this moment...

After the Battle of Chang'an, the residual hundreds of thousands of Nine Heavens demon lords were also swallowed by this god-demon, transforming into ferocious and terrifying demon heads; the phantom divine talisman of the Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly, the Marshal of Demon Subduing, also transformed into an indifferent and ruthless divine head; the last Dao head, Supreme Ruthless, looked exactly the same as Qian Chen in his previous life.

Beneath these three heads of god, demon, and Dao was the robust body of a young god-demon.

Eight arms rotated, wearing a blood lotus dharma crown, with bare feet stepping on a pair of burning karmic fire wheels, gathering endless grievances and karmic power, with ten thousand ghosts entwined and roaring.

The front left arm held a Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao gathered from the blood river, the front right arm held a Bone Faceless Demon Ring, the back left arm held a Blood Flame Bone Fire-Tipped Spear, and the back right arm held a General General Xuehe Mixed Heaven Red Silk.

The two arms in front of the chest held the Heaven-Destroying Bow and the Heaven-Shooting Arrow.

The two arms on the shoulders, one held the Nine-Layered Hell, the Nine-Yama Wujian Wujian Molong Hell Cover transformed by the Yama Dragon King carrying ten thousand ghosts, drumming up demon fire and fierce wind, and one hand held up the countless bone stupas in front of the eight great halls, a forty-nine-story pagoda stacked together.

Once these eight artifact phantoms were formed, they began to devour the surrounding bones, blood river, grievances, fierce ghosts, and demon qi.

In just an instant, this demon cave lost one percent of its space, the demon qi became seven parts thinner, and even the various arrangements Qian Chen had set up earlier were plundered of some of their foundation. If this continued, the entire demon cave would be swallowed by this young demon god, allowing Him to truly manifest.

Qian Chen's face sank, and he threw the jar containing the last battlefield relics of the Chang'an battle toward the demon god phantom. In just an instant, the last remnants of the million Nine Heavens demon lords were all swallowed by the demon god phantom, making His figure a bit more solid.

Xin Xin Shisan Niang shivered the moment the young god-demon figure appeared.

Her mind was blank, and even her breathing stopped. In front of that figure that seemed to destroy the world, her hands and feet went soft, and she completely lost the ability to resist. At this time, where could she still care about thinking about what relationship this demon god had with Qian Chen, she only cared about shivering.

She wished she could transform into her demon body and be a pitiful, helpless, and shivering little fox.

The three heads of the young god-demon opened their eyes, and there was nothingness in their eyes. He was staring at Qian Chen, and the two looked at each other deeply, both seeing their own shadows in the other's eyes.

Qian Chen hung the Inner Scene True Thunder Pill above his head and struck the god-demon phantom with one palm. This god-demon phantom with monstrous demon power had no power to resist only when facing Qian Chen, because it lacked the most critical point of self, which was Qian Chen himself.

Inside the young god-demon's body, a bone-like jade god-demon was struck out.

Qian Chen re-divided the Primordial God-Demon True Body, and with one palm struck out the Bone God-Demon from the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli. The Bone God-Demon's body was like jade, far stronger than the four-faced twenty-eight-armed god-demon formed by the combination of the earliest twelve bone relics.

The god-demon roared to the sky, but was immediately smashed into an iron hall by the Supreme Eight Scenery Furnace.

Immediately after, the Affectionate Blade slashed out a god-demon gathered from an infinite blood sea. The Blood Demon phantom floated above a blood sea that almost submerged the demon abyss. Qian Chen launched the sword light, slashed out the Ice Soul Ancient Shendao from the "Supreme Yin Cutting Affection Blade Scripture", froze the entire blood sea, and turned to suppress it beneath an iron hall.

The Affectionate Sword slashed off the young demon god's human skin, transforming it into a human skin that covered the world. The long sword nailed it into an iron hall.

The Magnetic Light Bottle emitted a primordial magnetic divine light, swallowing the five viscera in the god-demon body's abdomen into the bottle. The five viscera were like five small worlds, with five qi surging, each hiding a hell of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Five Viscera Hell was also struck into an iron hall.

The seven strings of the Thunder Sound Zither moved in unison, hooking out an indescribable demon soul and sealing it within an iron hall.

Immediately, the Dragon Sparrow Ring set, stripping away the eyes of the illusory demon god's body; the demon god's eyes hung high like pearls of the sun and moon, and were then struck into the iron hall at the Dui trigram position.

The Heavenly Luo San lowered clear light, inviting out a god from the brain of the demon god's phantom.

That god, with the Heavenly Luo San atop its head, walked into the iron hall at the Qian position. Bone, blood, skin, soul, five viscera, brain god, and eyes—the young demon god was dismembered into seven parts, leaving only a vast and mighty demonic qi still in place, supporting the demon god's image.

Until the final strand of demonic qi was also swept up by Qian Chen's sleeve, taken into his Universe in the Sleeve, and sealed in the Kun Hall.

Eight iron halls suppressed the bone, blood, skin, soul, qi, five viscera, brain god, and eyes of Qian Chen's demonic body.

After Qian Chen stripped away these eight, he held the final bit of demonic light in his palm.

This was the demonic origin and demonic thought belonging to Qian Chen's demonic path.

Qian Chen's face was already slightly pale; he did not know if it was because suppressing his own demonic body consumed too much spirit and magic power, or the discomfort of dismembering another self alive... To be able to make such a decisive choice to dismember his own avatar, he could now be called a ruthless person in the countless realms of the cosmos.

With a backhand, he suppressed this bit of demonic thought within his Dao heart.

Qian Chen finally thoroughly dismembered his demonic path foundation, temporarily resolving the hidden danger of Demon Qian Chen.

Finally, he struck the eight magic treasures remaining on the demon god's hands into their respective iron halls. Having finished all this, Qian Chen turned back, only to see Xin Shisan Niang, who was trembling and pale with fright.

Qian Chen's face was also as pale as paper; he turned back and forced a smile, saying: "This is a great demon I suppressed years ago. I used this place to dismember and suppress it, but I have startled you, Shisan Niang!"

Shisan Niang dared not ask—why do the two heads of this great demon look exactly like you? She could only smile bitterly: "Not at all, not at all, fellow Daoist, you speak too seriously! I am just... feeling fortunate that you suppressed such a demon, preventing the common people from suffering its disaster."

She clutched her skirt nervously, fearing she would arouse the suspicion of this ruthless person.

Qian Chen only sighed: "Does Shisan Niang know why I brought you here?"

Showdown! Showdown!

Xin Shisan Niang felt increasingly nervous and asked tremblingly: "This is... why?"

"Because I have sealed this great demon here, I fear I cannot come to look after it often, and I fear it will escape the seal. Therefore, I need to entrust a fellow Daoist to keep watch."

Qian Chen looked at Xin Shisan Niang, his eyes clearly saying—it's you!

Xin Shisan Niang could not help but say: "This demon is so powerful, I fear even the many nearby noble families combined could not deal with it. For such a crucial matter, my cultivation is low, and I truly cannot bear it."

Qian Chen shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, do not worry. The true spirit of this great demon has been taken away by me. Even if the remaining parts rush out of the seal, it will only be an ignorant demon. It will only do evil by instinct! Suppressing it again will not be difficult."

"And even if this demon breaks the seal, I have still left behind means in the Thunder Sea to deal with it, at least enough to delay until I return to handle it. I only ask you, if the demon cave undergoes any strange changes, go and awaken a spirit in the spirit cave and ask it to come and suppress this demon."

Qian Chen left behind three spirit talismans and said: "It is very sleepy, and I am sometimes not in this realm. If any trouble arises, you can ignite a spirit talisman and silently recite 'Thunder Bead' three times. Say: 'By my order, let him suppress this demon' and it will be done!"

Xin Shisan Niang took the spirit talismans, and Qian Chen finally instructed: "After today's layout, the demon cave will appear in the world, which will inevitably attract much trouble. This is a part of my seal arrangement, to lead that villain and this demon to kill each other. If any righteous person accidentally enters this deadly demon cave, I will tell you the many seal techniques I have set up here, and you, Shisan Niang, can use them to save them."

Xin Shisan Niang nodded slightly and agreed.

She let out a sigh of relief and looked up at Qian Chen, whose every move today seemed extremely mysterious and unfathomable.

Qian Chen smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Then I leave it to you, Shisan Niang!"

He turned to look at the eight iron halls that each sealed a part of his demon body and a magic treasure. He first came to the Gen Hall, which sealed the Bone God Demon. The magic treasure in the hall was the Bone Formless Demon Ring, which transformed into a two-phase world, evolving a Bone Dao Palace within the hall.

Qian Chen left a book in front of the hall—Unchanging Bone.

Immediately after, he came to the other seven iron halls and left the hall names on the plaques.

The Dui Hall sealed the eyes; the hall name—Void Xu Xu Jian Sheng.

The Kan Hall was the place where the five viscera were sealed; the hall name—Wucang Prefecture.

The Li Hall was the place where the Blood Sea God Demon was sealed; the hall name—Pale Sky Blood.

The Zhen Hall was the place where the human skin was hidden; the hall name—Demon Painted Skin.

The Xun Hall was the place where the demon soul lurked; the hall name—Avici Ghost.

Finally, the Qian and Kun halls were the places where the brain god and demonic qi were sealed respectively; the hall names were Yu Yu Jiuyou Qi and Jade Emperor Court.

The eight trigram locations of Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan were where the eight iron halls of Jade Emperor Court, Yu Yu Jiuyou Qi, Avici Ghost, Void Xu Xu Jian Sheng, Unchanging Bone, Demon Painted Skin, Pale Sky Blood, and Wucang Prefecture were located. They were arranged in eight directions, suppressing this demon abyss.

Qian Chen sighed long, leaped up, and with the help of the eight iron halls suppressing the demon cave, his spiritual sense mastered this demon cave, remotely locking onto the earth veins of the nearby counties where this meta-magnetic earth aperture was located. He reached out and used spiritual light to outline the earth vein situation of the surrounding counties, then turned to ask Shisan Niang: "Can Shisan Niang point out the fundamental locations of the many noble families nearby?"

Shisan Niang did not know why, so she pointed out the ancestral graves of the Jin, Lei, Xin, Tao, and other noble families in the nearby counties.

Qian Chen closed his eyes and silently connected the qi rhyme of their ancestral grave earth veins with the demon cave. This meta-magnetic earth aperture was the location where the earth veins formed an aperture, and the ancestral graves of the several great noble families were all feng shui treasures, so their qi fortune was already vaguely connected. Thus, this action did not consume much of Qian Chen's energy.

He opened his eyes and smiled: "The ancestral grave qi fortune of those several great noble families is already connected to the demon cave. As long as the demon cave opens once, the many demons suppressed within can follow this mysterious connection and find their ancestral graves!"

Xin Shisan Niang widened her eyes: "What will happen then?"

Qian Chen smiled: "Nothing more than the buried ancestors growing red hair, some strange and ominous things happening in their later years, some movements in the coffins, some strange things wandering in the blessed lands, some weird things happening in the mansions, the clansmen suffering from several kinds of curses, and the family having some of their qi fortune stolen!"

Xin Shisan Niang took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and whispered: "Then what about my Xin family?"

"Does Shisan Niang still care about the life and death of those old fossils in the family?"

"My father and mother are also buried in the ancestral land!" Xin Shisan Niang said.

Qian Chen untied an iron chain from between the eight iron halls and handed it to Xin Shisan Niang: "You can use this to suppress it. As long as you tie this chain in front of the grave, not only will the demons not disturb it, but it will also protect you a little."

Shisan Niang turned and said: "Then it's fine!"

"By the way, fellow Daoist Qian. My family has a few old foxes who have lingered on for many years using the method of avoiding death. Do you think they will also be targeted by that demon?"

"If Shisan Niang dislikes red hair, you can also write the names of Unchanging Bone or Demon Painted Skin. Unchanging Bone is stiff but not dead, Demon Painted Skin sheds its skin and wears it... The demons of these eight halls each have strange abilities, and their death states are all different!" Qian Chen smiled.

The two looked at each other and smiled. The eight iron halls beside them were chilling, and the eerie atmosphere made people shudder.
