Chapter 128: Ask for the Hammer, Get the Hammer: The Three Pure Ones Riot in Chaos

Following the guidance of light, Xiang Xuanqing soon found the origin of light.

“Hey? Where’s Guangming Daoist? Where did Guangming Daoist go?”

【Darkness Demon God】 Xiang Xuanqing looked around but found no trace of the Light Demon God.

“Left? Unlikely—the Ding Tou Qi Jian just took effect, and I expended a lot. Xiang Xuanqing pondered, suspecting his Great Worship ritual might have accidentally knocked out his ‘good brother.’

One with the Dao, gone without a trace.

The Light Demon God probably just awakened and was immediately plunged into slumber by his own curse.

“What do I do now? I finally found a direction.”

Xiang Xuanqing held the Six Soul Banner in one hand and the Ding Tou Qi Jian set in the other, ready to find another ‘good brother.’

“Who should I curse this time? Got it—the Curse Demon God. His resistance to curses must be the highest.”

Xiang Xuanqing selected his new target for deception.

There was no choice—finding other Demon Gods blindly in Chaos was far too difficult.

Directly cursing someone and using them as a ‘beacon’ was the most practical.

Soon, Xiang Xuanqing completed his second ritual setup.

The curse doll bore the inscription 【Curse Demon God】.

At that moment, Chaos churned, Daoic phenomena arose, and the void rippled.

A sharp shout rang out, shaking all directions.

“You wicked thief, daring to betray fellow Daoists—your heart deserves death!”

“Die!”

A brilliant sword flashed, dazzling and radiant.

Divine auroras shimmered, purple clouds radiated light, and Daoic divine radiance streamed through Chaos.

“Hmm?” Xiang Xuanqing’s thoughts moved like lightning; he raised the Six Soul Banner. Wind howled, Dao collapsed into chaos, and an unyielding, indestructible, unchanging aura erupted—endless darkness swallowed all light.

“Daoist?” Xiang Xuanqing saw the newcomer—five-colored radiance illuminated the void. Jing Yao Shangzun arrived wielding a dazzling divine sword.

“Who’s your Daoist? I am the Five Elements Demon God!”

Jing Yao Shangzun’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He feigned ferocity, glaring at Xiang Xuanqing: “I arrived just in time to see you plotting to betray a fellow Daoist. As a Demon God, aren’t you ashamed?”

“Today, I, the Five Elements Demon God, shall punish evil, uphold justice, purge darkness, and restore peace to Chaos!”

“Kill!”

Above Jing Yao Shangzun’s head, a five-colored divine tower emerged, nine tiers high, wreathed in misty clouds and swirling purple vapor, layers upon layers of divine light, impervious to all methods.

The divine sword in his hand flared again—brilliant swordlight pierced through spacetime, illuminating the entire void and shattering endless darkness.

“You bastard!” Xiang Xuanqing’s face darkened.

Punish evil, uphold justice??

What nonsense!

Some people wear masks to better remove the masks within their hearts.

Jing Yao Shangzun clearly had itchy skin.

“Want a beating? Fine!” Xiang Xuanqing gripped the Six Soul Banner, commanding darkness, overlooking past and present, as all Dao and methods trembled and wailed before him.

Fantastical Daoic phenomena manifested in the void: in boundless Chaos, sun and moon shone together—but the sun was black as ink, the moon crimson as blood, dark and eerie, a chilling aura spreading in all directions.

Xiang Xuanqing manipulated his Dark Dao artifact, unleashing a crushing, ominous killing intent toward Jing Yao Shangzun.

“You’re ruthless? I’m no pushover!”

【Five Elements Demon God】 Jing Yao’s five-colored divine tower rotated the Five Elements, offering peerless defense as he withstood the Six Soul Banner’s assault. He redirected his swordlight—fire ignited the void in roaring flames, smoke pierced the heavens in blazing light, boundless Li Fire pierced the darkness, striking straight at Xiang Xuanqing’s third eye.

BOOM!

Dao roared. Black mist, like a flowing waterfall, fell before Xiang Xuanqing, drowning the swordstrike.

“Even if you’re pure, you won’t get to eat it in Chaos!”

Xiang Xuanqing’s gaze was calm. He flicked the Six Soul Banner and hurled it directly at the five-colored tower.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM! Thunderous roars echoed as Chaos opened and closed, and hurricanes swept across.

Countless Chaos black holes appeared; boundless Chaos hurricanes destroyed heaven and earth, shaking even the stable, ten-thousand-zhang demonic true bodies.

Thousands of darknesses, entwined with Chaos hurricanes, became blades of annihilation, tearing through the Five Elements’ divine light, seeking to crush the 【Five Elements Demon God】 alive!

“Impressive!”

【Five Elements Demon God】 Jing Yao stabilized his stance. His five-colored tower shot skyward; shattered light barriers reformed, sealing out all darkness.

His eyes sparkled with excitement.

“This kind of battle—this kind of Dao comprehension—is truly exhilarating!”

The two Demon Gods fought from the origin of light to the depths of endless Chaos.

Their clash stirred eternal radiance within Chaos; countless universes, myriad planes, and innumerable worlds were born and perished with each strike.

Dao itself was being worn away.jpg

Jing Yao Shangzun grew more excited with every blow. He seemed to have truly forgotten his identity, acting only as the Five Elements Demon God, swinging wildly, squandering his Demon God power without restraint.

“So this is the feeling of a Luo Supreme—I understand!” As the battle intensified, Jing Yao Shangzun fiercely clashed with Xiang Xuanqing, deeply comprehending the mysteries of Dao.

“You understand? Fine. Now it’s my turn.”

Xiang Xuanqing, having played along with Jing Yao Shangzun, finally stopped holding back.

WHOOSH—WHOOSH—WHOOSH!!

Wind howled; the long banner flapped fiercely.

The first tail of the Six Soul Banner rose high—its surface now bore the honorific name 【Five Elements Demon God】.

SHU!

A dark ray shot from the Six Soul Banner, soaring upward, divine light like a silken thread, transforming into countless illusions, faint and indistinct.

Instantly, a torrent of killing intent swept through Chaos, forcing Jing Yao Shangzun to stagger backward.

“Daoist, it’s me!” Jing Yao sensed impending doom and cried out urgently.

“Who’s your Daoist? I am the Darkness Demon God!”

Xiang Xuanqing smiled: “You appeared out of nowhere and attacked me without cause. As a Demon God, aren’t you ashamed?”

“Today, I, the Darkness Demon God, shall punish evil, uphold justice, obliterate the Five Elements, and restore peace to Chaos!”

Familiar words spilled from Xiang Xuanqing’s mouth. Jing Yao Shangzun realized his situation was dire and tried to flee.

“Now you want to run? Too late!” Xiang Xuanqing bowed deeply to the Six Soul Banner. Terrifying darkness and curse power pierced through eons, bypassing the Five Elements Tower’s defense, descending upon Jing Yao Shangzun.

“Ahh!”

A piercing scream echoed through Chaos.

Jing Yao Shangzun saw only darkness. His form wobbled, staggering forward unsteadily.

Xiang Xuanqing immediately chased after him.

“You dared ambush me!” Xiang Xuanqing seized the Six Soul Banner by its shaft and began brutally beating Jing Yao.

“Aaaahhh!!” Jing Yao was pummeled from all sides, nearly having his spirit scattered.

“Stop! Brother, I’m sorry!”

“Don’t hit! Don’t hit!”

Jing Yao begged for mercy. Though he now wore a Demon God body, Xiang Xuanqing’s blows struck directly at his soul.

He barely rose when Xiang Xuanqing kicked him into a dark vortex.

“You boasted of your strength, called me a wicked thief, claimed you’d uphold justice?”

“I let you comprehend Dao! I let you be exhilarated! Now you’re satisfied, right?”

Jing Yao Shangzun got exactly what he deserved—nearly driven into catatonia by Xiang Xuanqing’s Six Soul Banner.

Moments later.

Jing Yao crawled out of the dark vortex, lying in Chaos groaning.

“How did you find me?” Xiang Xuanqing reset his curse ritual.

“I caught a faint lingering resonance of the Light Dao.” Jing Yao Shangzun spoke honestly.

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: “Good. At least Guangming Daoist didn’t die in vain—he led you to me.”

Jing Yao’s lip twitched: “You really cursed Guangming Demon God to death?”

“Not exactly dead.”

Xiang Xuanqing thought: “He’s in a deep slumber. Won’t wake up anytime soon.”

“You’re incredible!” Jing Yao Shangzun acknowledged Xiang Xuanqing.

No wonder he was the most mischievous of the Li family’s three brothers—even in this alien Chaos era, he could invent new tricks.

“By the way, what exactly is going on right now?”

Jing Yao Shangzun asked: “Is this an inherent function of your Dao realm, or did we accidentally enter some time-space?”

“Hard to say.”

Xiang Xuanqing shook his head: “I can’t guess the specifics.”

“You can’t guess something?” Jing Yao didn’t believe it.

Xiang Xuanqing glanced at him: “I’m afraid I’ll guess right.”

Jing Yao Shangzun’s heart chilled—he recalled a certain man skilled at “correcting” everything.

“Then don’t guess.”

He chuckled awkwardly: “Let’s focus on finding Yu Chen Daoist instead.”

“Aren’t we still slowly probing the path? Why did you rush out so recklessly?” Xiang Xuanqing gave Jingyao a withering look.

“Come on, bow a few times to this doll.”

Using the Death Curse Technique twice has drained the Dark God significantly; it needs a rest.

“You caused this mess—now you bear the consequences.” Xiang Xuanqing explained to Jingyao, annoyed, how the Seven-Arrow Nail Technique worked.

Jingyao Shangzun said nothing and immediately began the ritual.

“Will cursing the Curse God even work?”

As he cultivated, Xiang Xuanqing said: “Do you have a better way to locate Him?”

Jingyao Shangzun promptly fell silent.

After twenty-one bows, the seventh cursed arrow shot forth.

Jingyao Shangzun followed the curse’s trail.

“Destruction, are you mad?”

The Curse God had bad luck—Yucheng Daojun randomly chose a direction and happened upon Him.

“Friend, forgive me!”

Yucheng Daojun now wanted to create a huge commotion, drawing the attention of other Gods—ideally, making Xiang Xuanqing and Jingyao come over.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

The World-Ending Mill rolled through chaos, symbolizing the transition from existence to nonexistence, unleashing the primordial might of the Dao that heralded the Final Calamity and ended all ages.

Yucheng Daojun, the God of Destruction, launched a furious assault on the Curse God; His ancient, invincible aura caused the Curse God’s pupils to shrink and his face to turn pale.

Attacking with lethal intent right away—what’s wrong with you?!

The Curse God had no desire to fight this madman and retreated while fighting.

“Friend, you’ve got to put in some effort!” Yucheng Daojun was displeased—how could a God be so weak?

To force the Curse God to unleash his full power, Yucheng Daojun charged recklessly, swinging the World-Ending Mill in a wild frenzy.

Too strong, too monstrous!

The Curse God tried to flee, but it was already too late.

Because the cursed killing force set by Xiang Xuanqing and Jingyao had arrived.

Impossible to block, impossible to evade, impossible to escape!!

This curse seemed to rise from reality, emerge from the future, and come from the past—its infinite cursed power locked onto the Curse God’s true spirit.

“Who is this?”

The Curse God was numb—he hadn’t provoked anyone, so why were one and then another targeting him?

The curse’s power erupted; the Curse God summoned a scroll of curses and braced himself against it.

As Xiang Xuanqing had predicted, His resistance to curses was extremely high.

But He was still tricked by these two dishonorable bastards, Xiang Xuanqing and Jingyao.

In that moment of distraction, Yucheng Daojun, wielding the World-Ending Mill, struck with ferocity.

“I…” The Curse God had countless words, but none could escape his lips.

The Three Pure Ones completed a silent, coordinated strike from afar, subduing the Curse God.
