Chapter 899

Then he went straight to the central core of the Sea of Consciousness, the place where the human mind is stored—that is, where the Yuanshen resides.

The moment he entered, Cang Qu was about to plunder directly.

He discovered that deep within Long Ying's Sea of Consciousness, there actually sat a tiny figure.

This tiny figure, as if sensing life and death hanging in the balance, suddenly opened its eyes.

A mysterious and unfathomable feeling burst forth from those eyes.

The demonic-seed strange force, which had been unstoppable and all-conquering, was actually forced into a steady retreat beneath this feeling!

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Although Cang Qu hadn't deployed much of his strength, how could his demonic-seed strange force be anything simple?

How old was this boy, anyway?

He probably hasn't even grown all his hair down there yet!

How could there be a Yuanshen in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness capable of matching him?

Cang Qu's first wave of demonic-seed strange force was repelled, and he was both shocked and furious.

He immediately deployed his Heavenly Demon domain and unleashed a second wave of demonic-seed strange force.

Originally, he could have spared Long Ying's little life, letting him live out his remaining years like an idiot.

That was out of regard for the fact that Long Ying had, by chance and coincidence, cultivated a demonic seed.

After all, he could be considered one of Cang Qu's demonic descendants.

But this time, he intended to devour Long Ying until not even dregs remained!

Any existence that dared to resist him—especially in this world—must be slain!

This wave of demonic-seed strange force was far more ferocious than before.

In an instant, Long Ying completely lost all perception; his five senses were stripped away, and he felt as if he had become a fish on a chopping block, able only to be cut up at will.

On the other side, the demonic-seed strange force surged forth and went straight to the depths of Long Ying's Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, that tiny figure, watching the demonic-seed strange force surging in from all around, suddenly opened its mouth and spoke,

"With such demonic-seed strange force, you must be Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, yes?"

"Eh? Who exactly are you?"

In all the Nine Provinces, there were hardly a few people who knew that he was Heavenly Demon Cang Qu.

After all, he rarely walked the mortal world, and he carried the Heavenly Demon domain with him; every time he appeared, it could interfere with others' perception of him.

Yet in this strange otherworld, in the depths of this youth's Sea of Consciousness, he had happened to encounter someone who could recognize him?

As far as Cang Qu knew, this tiny figure was certainly not Long Ying's own Yuanshen.

Rather, it was…

"I am the Evil Emperor, Xiang Yutian."

That tiny figure spoke astonishing words, actually revealing itself to be a past Evil Emperor, Xiang Yutian, from long ago!

Originally, ever since Xie Tiao created the Dao Heart Demonic Seed Great Art based on the Heavenly Demon's notes, aside from himself, only the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian had mastered this Wu Gong.

It was said that after Xiang Yutian mastered it, he styled himself the Demon Immortal, his strength stunning through the ages.

Afterwards, he fought a person with all his might and shattered the void to depart.

This story was also circulated in the Nine Provinces.

Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, hidden in the shadows, naturally also knew some of it.

After the so-called Xiang Yutian shattered the void and vanished from sight,

Cang Qu had also gone to the site of his final battle to investigate the situation.

After all, Xiang Yutian had also cultivated the Dao Heart Demonic Seed Great Art, and shared some origin with him.

Yet the conclusion he reached was that Xiang Yutian had not only failed to shatter the void, but hadn't even reached the Shattered Realm.

Moreover, judging from the aura at the scene, Xiang Yutian had in fact had his demonic seed explode, dying without an intact corpse.

Yet for some unknown reason, in this strange otherworld, in the depths of this youth's Sea of Consciousness, a sliver of Xiang Yutian's Yuanshen was hidden.

The mystery within this somewhat exceeded Cang Qu's understanding.

"Didn't you die?"

Cang Qu halted his demonic-seed strange force and asked with some curiosity.

"Death is life, life is death; life and death, life and death—surely my lord the Heavenly Demon cannot see through this?"

That tiny figure, Xiang Yutian, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, spoke these words.

Cang Qu listened and found that these words, though they seemed a bit nonsensical, actually aligned somewhat with his own Heavenly Demon Dao.

His heart chilled; he knew this Xiang Yutian was no simple matter, and said again,

"Then what are you hiding here for?"

"Practicing Wu Gong, that's all."

Xiang Yutian replied indifferently,

"My lord the Heavenly Demon has come—is it to use the demonic seed to devour everything of this boy?"

Cang Qu gave no reply, indicating tacit agreement.

"Let me give my lord the Heavenly Demon a reminder! Even if I withdraw from here, you still cannot devour him."

That tiny figure Xiang Yutian suddenly grinned broadly, seeming somewhat smug.

"Arrogant!"

Cang Qu grew somewhat angry—a person who had cultivated a mere fragment of his leftover art, no, not even a fragment, probably just a tiny fraction of it.

Someone who had cultivated only this tiny bit of his art actually dared to mock him?

He himself was the Heavenly Demon; to say nothing of this boy, even devouring you, Xiang Yutian, along with him—what difficulty would that be?

699 Where did this monster come from?

Since you look down on this Heavenly Demon, then let me disperse you from this world as well!

The moment Cangqu thought coldly thus, the demonic seed's strange power no longer paused.

Like spider silk, in an instant it spread across the entire sea of consciousness.

Layer upon layer, it also surrounded Xiang Yutian's yuan shen tightly.

Seeing this situation, how could Xiang Yutian not know Cangqu's thoughts? He could not help but sneer once more,

"Very well, very well! Since Master Moda insists on going his own way, then I shall yield this sea of consciousness to you.

I only hope you won't regret it!"

As he spoke, the little figure's form actually gradually faded.

"Mo Xiaobei, where do you think you're running!"

Cangqu thought he was fleeing because he saw the situation was unfavorable.

He immediately directed the demonic seed's strange power to swarm forward.

He had intended to capture Xiang Yutian's yuan shen, or at the very least, retain a portion of it.

Who would have thought that wherever the demonic seed's strange power reached, it grasped at empty air.

One must understand that the demonic seed's strange power is a combined force of essence, qi, and spirit, along with a certain ineffable transcendental power, fused together.

The demonic seed can be said to transcend the existence of many powers!

Not to mention its might against the physical body.

But against spiritual things—such as divine sense, yuan shen, sea of consciousness, and the like—it is almost invariably victorious!

Yet why could he not capture Xiang Yutian's yuan shen?

"Hahaha! Master Moda, the world is far smaller than you imagine.

Since you insist on going your own way, then you shall bear the consequences yourself."

Xiang Yutian laughed wildly, left behind these two lines, and vanished without a trace.

Cangqu was utterly vexed—clearly just a fellow who had only achieved a little by practicing his own art.

Yet how could he openly evade his own Heavenly Demon's strange power and still mock him?

While he was in his vexation, this empty sea of consciousness suddenly began to tremble violently.

A great sense of alarm rose in Cangqu's heart; he ought to have withdrawn the demonic seed's strange power.

But thinking of Xiang Yutian's mockery, he was again filled with furious resentment.

Thus he actually directed the demonic seed's strange power, wanting to take this sea of consciousness down completely.

Who knew the trembling grew greater and greater, until in the end Cangqu actually felt he had lost control over a thread of the demonic seed's strange power!
