Chapter 435: Demon God? Is He Strong? (5k)

Dense Devilish Qi dissipated.

The surrounding world began to fluctuate.

This independent Small World, constructed from an Emperor Weapon imitation, seemed unable to sustain itself and could collapse and disappear at any moment.

Shi Huang's entire appearance changed.

His eyes were crimson, and his entire presence was sinister and terrifying.

“Finally… I've waited for this day…” He lowered his head and examined his body, filled with excitement.

He laughed loudly, his voice hearty but unpleasant, like the sound of metal scraping, causing one to frown.

Suddenly, he felt someone watching him.

He looked up.

Immediately, he met a pair of calm and deep eyes.

“You don't seem surprised at all?” Shi Huang stared at Wang Mu and spoke slowly.

“His mental state was clearly abnormal; either his Divine Soul was incomplete, or someone was influencing his subconscious, trying to control his behavior…” Wang Mu said indifferently, “Now it seems it was indeed the latter.”

From his perspective, the things Shi Huang did felt too contradictory.

He clearly collaborated with the Saint Advent Society.

Yet he never made a move against Little Nannan and the others.

The Saint Advent Society and the two Holy Lands were obviously not prepared for an all-out war with the Wang Family, but Shi Huang pointed his spear directly at Wang Mu after leaving the Heavenly Ruins.

It was as if he were charging headlong, completely disregarding how the situation changed.

It was like the left brain attacking the right brain.

If Shi Huang were an impulsive person, that might be explainable.

But was he?

He had fought on the border battlefields for years, excelling in formations, troop deployment, and strategic planning, earning a prestigious reputation.

Wang Mu had read the records of Shi Huang leading troops in battle several times; they were very methodical.

If such a person were a reckless brute,

Wang Mu didn't quite believe it.

His actions instead gave Wang Mu a strong feeling, like a person who knew their time was short and was desperately trying to finish certain things.

Of course, those were just guesses.

They had to be combined with some concrete evidence.

For example, the Demonized Supreme Bone the System detected inside Shi Huang… “Shi Huang” stared at Wang Mu, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes: “Back then, I truly misjudged you! To think a natural-born Trash who couldn't Cultivate could reach this step! Had I known earlier, this deity would never have chosen him as the stepping stone to live out my ninth life!”

“This deity is very curious, what exactly happened to you?”

Hearing this, Wang Mu gave a half-smile: “It sounds like you're very familiar with me?”

“Shi Huang” said with a smile: “When you were born, this deity even sent gift money!”

The conversation sounded very harmonious.

Like small talk between a long-unseen senior and Junior.

But it was terrifying upon closer thought.

Years ago.

The Prince Wei Mansion and the Martial King Mansion had Young Lords born one after another.

The Saint Advent Society was looking for partners at the time, and these two families were under heavy scrutiny.

Originally, the Prince Wei Mansion had the highest priority.

Not only did they have deep foundations, they also controlled the World-Suppressing Army of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

However, the Young Lord of the Wang Family bore a curse and could not Cultivate; even the methods of the Saint Advent Society were useless.

Not only that.

The experts of the Saint Advent Society observed his Luck, and it was incredibly dim.

In the future, not only would he achieve nothing, he would likely drag the entire Wang Family into a bottomless abyss.

In contrast, Shi Huang on the other side was exceptionally suitable.

Wang Mu gave a light laugh, “Speaking of which, should I call you Shi Huang now, or should I call you—Great Extinction Demon God?”

As soon as these words were spoken.

“Shi Huang's” pupils suddenly constricted: “How do you know this deity's name?”

It was an ancient existence that had already lived through eight lives.

Its title had resounded through the heavens during the Desolate Ancient Era, but in these epochs, it had almost never walked the world.

Wang Mu suddenly calling out its name gave it a sudden shock.

Little did it know.

At that very moment.

In Wang Mu's eyes, the panel belonging to Shi Huang had already changed.

[Name: Great Extinction Demon God]

[Race: Heavenly Demon]

[Age: 821,245,748…]

[cultivation: Soul Transformation Peak]

[Trait: Primordial Heavenly Demon God — Possesses one of the oldest Origin Bloodlines of the Heavenly Demon race. Born with spirituality, excels in feeding on Luck, can devour the Luck of other living beings and even worlds to replenish itself and grow infinitely]

[Investment Suggestion: Huge potential, but the required cost is extremely terrifying. Investment is not recommended!]

[…]

“Truly a super big fish!” Wang Mu marveled in his heart. This was a truly old fellow; his age was endless at a glance, having lived through unknown epochs.

Now, with the help of the body of the Child of Luck, Shi Huang, he was about to live out his ninth life.

Once successful.

God knows what level his cultivation could reach.

It was no exaggeration to say.

For a moment, Wang Mu even thought he was about to become a god instantly.

After all.

If he could max out the investment progress of this old monster, when its cultivation reached Major Achievement, even if he wasn't invincible in the world, he wouldn't be far from it.

However, after thinking carefully, Wang Mu could only helplessly give up.

The System had already made it very clear.

This old monster fed on Luck, and could even devour the Luck of the world.

Moreover, Wang Mu guessed that he was likely the Holy God worshipped by the Saint Advent Society.

In that case.

Whether it was its background, power, or even all the resources it could mobilize, it would be at a terrifying level.

Most likely much more terrifying than the current Wang Family.

What would Wang Mu use to invest in it?

Feed it all the Children of Luck he knew now?

Isn't that a joke?

If the progress bar couldn't be filled, wouldn't that be a total loss?

After calming down.

Wang Mu stared quietly at the Great Extinction Demon God and said, “I just made a random guess. So you really are called by that name? It's really ugly.”

Great Extinction Demon God: “???”

“Hmph!” The Demon God sneered, “You boy, you really do have many secrets! But it doesn't matter. Soon, all those things will belong to me!”

His eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement.

Today was truly a good day.

Wang Mu was even more so his lucky star.

How many years had it been.

He had been hiding in the Supreme Bone within Shi Huang's body, constantly eating away at his Luck and corroding his mind.

All for the sake of replacing him.

It wasn't just a simple Possession.

It was to annex and merge everything—from the Divine Soul, Physical Body, personality, consciousness, Luck, to Karma.

However, this was not a simple task.

Shi Huang's Luck was too strong and his Dao Heart too firm; for years, progress had been slow, and he could only influence him subtly.

But the effect was minimal.

For example, in the Heavenly Ruins, he desperately wanted Shi Huang to kill and capture Little Nannan and the others, and then devour their Luck.

To him, those were incomparable tonics.

But Shi Huang was very stubborn.

No matter how he influenced him.

Shi Huang forcibly diverted those thoughts, his mind filled with things like not killing innocent people, and then transferred all negative emotions and killing intent onto Wang Mu.

He just couldn't understand.

Why care so much about a Trash who couldn't Cultivate and was born with a curse?

Just because his grandfather slaughtered your entire Shi family?

Could your entire Shi family combined have Luck as dense as those prodigies under Wang Mu?

However, until now.

He felt that Shi Huang's approach was actually too correct.

If not for this.

How could Shi Huang's Dao Heart have been broken head-on by Wang Mu, causing him to lose the will to live,

thereby giving him an opportunity to seize?

The day he broke through his cage was at least over a hundred years earlier than expected.

Moreover, this Wang Mu in front of him clearly hid countless secrets.

The current him, the Luck above his head was no longer dim and lightless as it was when he was born; instead, it was incredibly dazzling, like a brilliant galaxy.

If he could devour Wang Mu,

his cultivation path in this life would surely be extremely smooth, achieving an unprecedented Supreme Peak… The Great Extinction Demon God's eyes were full of greed, staring at Wang Mu as if staring at a Supreme treasure.

Wang Mu hated such looks.

He shook his head and sighed.

“Compared to you, I still liked that guy just now more!” Wang Mu said, “Although he was stubborn and narrow-minded, at least he seemed like a human!”

“Human?” The Great Extinction Demon God's lips curled up, and he said disdainfully: “You Human Race are originally the lowliest race in the world, only happening to get some Luck to have today! And this deity is the eternally indestructible, immortal, and undying Supreme Heavenly Demon… Why do I need to be like a human?”

His voice was sharp, making Wang Mu's ears ache. He picked his ears impatiently. "By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't truly replaced Shi Huang yet, right? You've only temporarily gained control of his body… As long as I beat you down and thoroughly dig out that bone you're parasitizing, everything will be over."

Hearing this, the Great Extinction Demon God narrowed its eyes and sneered, "What arrogance! A mere member of the Human Race dares to speak such big words?"

The moment its voice fell…

Its voice came to an abrupt halt.

Its figure suddenly blasted back thousands of miles, crashing through countless mountains and rivers, stumbling uncontrollably.

Wang Mu's figure appeared where the Great Extinction Demon God had just been standing. He brushed some dust off himself and looked up indifferently. "You don't seem like much!"

"You're looking for death!"

The Great Extinction Demon God was furious, its aura soaring to the heavens.

It roared toward the sky.

A vast demonic light gathered in its mouth, turning into a purple beam of light that shattered the void and headed straight for Wang Mu's face.

Wang Mu held one hand behind his back and placed the other in front of him.

In the next moment, his robes fluttered and were thrown high behind him, and his long hair flowed, yet he stood there like a thousand-year-old tree, unmoved by the wind and rain.

The beam of light, filled with an aura of destruction, failed to harm him in the slightest.

In the next instant…

Wang Mu disappeared from his spot, broke through the Void Realm, and appeared in front of the Great Extinction Demon God, landing a palm on its face.

"With such big words, who are you trying to stink to death?"

Boom!

This palm seemed casual, but its power was staggering, as if a divine mountain supporting the heavens and earth had collapsed.

The surrounding earth cracked apart.

Hundreds of unfathomably deep fissures appeared.

The Great Extinction Demon God was sent flying once again.

A glaring handprint appeared on its face.

"Dammit!" The Great Extinction Demon God was fuming. Wang Mu was blatantly humiliating it. How could it, a dignified Demon God, suffer such an insult?

"Dammit what?" Wang Mu appeared again, grabbed the other's neck, and threw it high into the air.

Then, he formed a hand seal, and countless runes filled the air.

A brilliant fire lotus soared into the sky.

It exploded right on the Great Extinction Demon God's chest, shattering countless scales and leaving it a bloody mess with a charred body.

Wang Mu pressed his palm down lightly.

A giant Golden-Winged Great Peng descended from the sky, stomping the Great Extinction Demon God into the abyss and snapping the bone wings on its back.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roars echoed throughout this world.

Wang Mu was relaxed and casual; with a simple wave of his hand, he unleashed powerful Divine Abilities, almost never repeating the same one.

The Great Extinction Demon God never expected that it would be suppressed and beaten by Wang Mu.

From beginning to end…

It basically had no chance to fight back.

How could it be anything but miserable?

"Ah—"

The Demon God roared, and this world shook and became illusory, as if it were about to break apart at any moment.

This place…

Was, after all, the world inside a replica of an Emperor Weapon.

The rules were incomplete, and there were many restrictions.

It was impossible to unleash the full power of the Great Extinction Demon God.

Once it left this place…

It would have many more methods.

Unexpectedly…

Wang Mu instantly caught its thoughts and said indifferently, "A turtle in a jar, why bother putting up a desperate struggle?"

He formed a hand seal.

An ancient Dao Seal condensed in the Void Realm, turning into the character 'Freeze'.

In an instant…

An invisible ripple spread out.

The world that was about to break apart instantly fell into a state of calm.

The majestic power of the Void Realm covered the entire space like a tide, trapping the Great Extinction Demon God within a cage.

"Void Realm Law…" the Great Extinction Demon God whispered with a sneer. "I have lived for endless ages and am well-versed in endless Laws. You want to imprison me with a Law? Wishful thinking!"

Immediately…

It chanted ancient incantations and also activated the Void Realm Law, attempting to break through the cage Wang Mu had set up.

Wang Mu shook his head gently, tapping his finger in the Void Realm repeatedly to create thousands of tiny runes, sketching an ancient pattern in the air.

"Taixu Seal: Suppress!"

Buzz—

In an instant, the power of the Void Realm around Wang Mu intensified several times over.

An indescribable pressure enveloped the Great Extinction Demon God from all directions. Fine cracks appeared on its body, as if it could be crushed and torn into ten thousand pieces at any moment.

A hint of terror finally appeared in the Great Extinction Demon God's eyes. "The Taixu Dragon Spirit Scripture! Just how many ancient methods have you mastered?"

The Taixu Dragon Clan…

Was the race most proficient in the Void Realm Law in the world.

This was a favoritism granted to this race by the Heavenly Dao; no other race could surpass them in the Dao of the Void Realm.

Even for an existence like the Great Extinction Demon God, it was the same.

Even at its Peak…

It wouldn't dare say its attainment in the Void Realm Law was stronger than that of the Taixu Dragon Clan.

And this clan's Legacy Cultivation Technique, the Taixu Dragon Spirit Scripture, was the Major Achievement of the Void Realm Law in the world. If cultivated to the extreme, one could even use it to condense the Dao Scripts of the Void Realm Law.

During the Peak of the Taixu Dragon Clan, such existences were not rare.

They were enough to be envied by all races.

And Wang Mu's understanding of the Taixu Dragon Spirit Scripture was clearly extremely profound and deep.

His casting was also exceptionally experienced.

He displayed the power of this ancient Legacy to the fullest… Under the constraint of the terrifying power of the Void Realm…

The Great Extinction Demon God could not move.

Hearing its question, Wang Mu thought about it carefully. "That, I really can't remember! It's a good time to count them~"

The moment his voice fell…

A Chaos Galaxy instantly appeared behind him.

That galaxy was so special.

It didn't seem like a vision or phantom condensed by Divine Abilities or techniques at all.

It was as if it truly existed.

Countless giant stars were rotating with a rumbling sound; it was silent, yet it contained an indescribable and terrifying weight that made one's heart race.

Grand and ancient figures condensed behind Wang Mu, standing within the galaxy and emitting endless majesty.

Those figures gradually solidified.

Every inch was sketched by dense runes, a naturally formed dao rhythm.

The first figure wore a golden flame-patterned emperor's robe with divine patterns on its brow. Behind it were ten suns crossing the sky, piercing the firmament, and a Three-Legged Golden Crow prostrated at its feet.

The second figure wore azure-black heavy armor and had white hair and green eyes. It stepped on an ancient Kunpeng, and behind it, endless runes condensed into the Guixu Sea Eye, with every drop of seawater seemingly hiding a Small World.

The third figure wore a Constellation Crown and a Purple Cloud Robe, holding a compass that rotated stars. With every breath, countless nebulae moved, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions rose and fell within them.

The fourth figure was surrounded by Chaos Purple Qi and stepped on a Yin and Yang Vortex. Its simple hemp Daoist robe was inscribed with dense ancient runes.

The Great Extinction Demon God was instantly dumbfounded.

The Solar Emperor Scripture!

The Northern Dark Emperor Scripture!

The Heavenly Ziwei Emperor Scripture!

The Primal Emperor Scripture!

…It was not unfamiliar with any of them.

Because it had lived long enough.

The Origin of every Emperor Scripture could be traced back to a Supreme Great Emperor who was invincible in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Such a person, once seen, would never be forgotten.

The Great Extinction Demon God could not imagine just how much Luck Wang Mu possessed to allow him to master four Emperor Scriptures simultaneously.

No, it was more than that.

Including the Taixu Dragon Spirit Scripture of the Taixu Dragon Clan, although it wasn't an Emperor Scripture, it was not far from one.

It just wasn't created by an Emperor, but it could similarly lead to the extreme of a Great Dao, and achieving the Emperor's Seat was not impossible.

If this were to get out…

The entire Northern Region, the Cangyuan Realm, and even the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would fall into upheaval.

Wang Mu, how does he deserve this?

"Alright, the time is about right. It's time to… send you on your way!" Wang Mu spoke calmly, slowly pressing down his right hand.

Behind him, the four phantoms of the Great Emperors made the same movement.

Endless power of Law descended from the sky, as if enough to destroy the heavens and earth and restart the era.

The Great Extinction Demon God, imprisoned by the vast power of the Void Realm, could not resist at all.

In an instant, its Physical Body disintegrated.

Its Devilish Qi was annihilated and vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No one knew how much time had passed.

The entire world finally became quiet.

Wang Mu came down to the ground.

A terrifyingly deep pit had appeared here.

Shi Huang was covered in wounds, lying within it, his life or death unknown.

Wang Mu slowly approached.

He made a grasping motion in the air.

A crack opened in Shi Huang's chest, and a golden bone stained with Devilish Qi was forcefully extracted from his body.

"Aieee—"

In an instant, a shrill scream came from within Shi Huang's body.

The golden bone vibrated.

It seemed to want to struggle further.

But how could it struggle even a little bit in front of Wang Mu?

He tightened his fingers, and with a bang, that bone instantly exploded, turning into dust that filled the sky.
