Ruofeng Lin’s Purpose, the Arrival Ritual of the Chaos God

Special Reincarnator EX051, you have suffered severe Demonic Energy Erosion. Initiating a check.

Checking...

You have resisted Demonic Energy Erosion.

Bai Cangshu’s flesh rapidly knit back together. Using a method similar to the World-Shaking Heavenly Palm, he converted qi into electromagnetic force and, with Magnetic Field Rotation, blocked the strongest second stage of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique in an instant.

As a result, that strike had failed even to completely cut him apart.

Faced with Seven Nights Demon Lord’s question, Bai Cangshu had no interest in thinking about it. Such matters were things only mediocre mortals would ponder.

He had never felt any confusion over his own existence.

Seven Nights Demon Lord wanted to speak again, but the thunderclouds overhead had already rolled down, seeming ready to merge with the other’s body.

With one hand on his sword, he was about to unleash the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique in rapid succession when, in the next moment, a roar that seemed capable of destroying everything erupted.

"Ha!"

World-Shaking Thunder Roar!

Golden lightning exploded alongside the blue-white thunder flashing within the storm clouds. In that instant, Seven Nights felt the heavens and earth spin, while some force field beneath the ground broke into a completely chaotic frenzy.

"Urgh—pfft!"

He turned sideways and raised the One Evening Sword before him, but before the blast even reached him, he had already coughed up blood. Then he could only watch as the two-colored lightning completely swallowed him.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted in the mountain range beside the Imperial City, raising a massive mushroom cloud. In an instant, it completely cleared away the miasma that had shrouded the Imperial City year-round. The terrifying shockwave became blazing-white ripples that surged toward the mountains and the city.

Boom!

The expressions of Yin Moon Dynasty’s several demon generals changed. Seeing the horrifying scale of the blast, they immediately formed a seal with both hands. Layer upon layer of light appeared around the imperial palace, only for them to watch helplessly as the shockwave, carrying endless sand and dust, smashed through the city walls and countless buildings before crashing toward them.

At that moment, Ruofeng Lin, who had been confronting Qiqi, suddenly expanded at extreme speed. With a sweep of his right hand, a boom rang out, and the four demon generals simultaneously vomited blood as they were sent flying.

The purple barrier shattered in an instant as if struck by an extraordinary impact. Qiqi lifted her brows, still staring coldly at Ruofeng Lin before the destructive shockwave reached her.

"You were protecting those people…"

Boom!

The blazing-white shockwave passed through their bodies. The noble clans of the Yin Moon Dynasty were utterly unable to resist and were all blasted away. Those closer to it were reduced to nothing but scattered flesh and bones.

Qiqi realized something. Ruofeng Lin’s fusion with this individual suspected to be the Moon Demon could not possibly have been merely for that kind of immortality.

In the setting of A Chinese Ghost Story’s television adaptation, the Moon Demon was the final boss. She was the embodiment of the world’s resentment, practically immortal and indestructible, and had almost single-handedly orchestrated every tragedy.

But Ruofeng Lin, whom many regarded as The Sage, could not possibly have been unaware of information that even Reincarnators knew.

Qiqi knew that Ruofeng Lin must have weighed every action carefully, just as he had already intervened twice to save others.

The first time was when she and Mercenary Tao had casually intended to kill Pudu Cihang, and he and the Moon Demon had acted at the same time. The second was when that terrifying explosion struck, and he intervened again, distorting the area affected by the blast.

Almost all the impact and explosion had been borne by the imperial palace district, while the ordinary people in the outer Imperial City had suffered comparatively few casualties.

But these thoughts merely passed through Life of Silence Seven Seven’s mind before quickly fading away.

She no longer cared.

Hoo…

She exhaled a long breath of stale air. A trace of killing intent buried through perhaps more than a dozen mission intervals could finally be released.

Ruofeng Lin lowered his hand and turned around. Seeing the girl whose eyes had always been lifeless looking at him with undisguised killing intent, he instead felt a thread of relief.

"How wonderful, Qiqi. You, with that look in your eyes, are invincible…"

Pfft!

Ruofeng Lin’s pupils contracted as a piercing pain appeared across the surface of his skin.

"Ah!"

The Moon Demon did not possess Ruofeng Lin’s tolerance. She let out a shriek almost instantly, touching her face as a crimson line of blood ran down from the center of her brow.

Qiqi appeared behind them. She raised her right hand, and the Emperor-Slaying Ghost-Crying Blade spun. In the next instant, scarlet sword qi swept through thousands of meters of surrounding space.

Everything was being cut apart. Destructive Battle Aura had been completely condensed into cutting qi blades. Neither Demonic Energy nor armor had any effect before such blades.

Feeling the fluctuations that could continuously weaken him, Ruofeng Lin understood that this was Qiqi’s essence. Qiqi was a genius born for slaughter.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Amid sprays of blood, the fused flesh-and-blood body of him and the Moon Demon exploded with a crash into a vast pool of gore.

Within that eerie purple blood was both demon blood and his extraordinary blood.

Ruofeng Lin calmly watched it all. He completely relinquished control over the body, and the Moon Demon’s shrill voice immediately rang out.

"Reincarnator?"

"Ha, you cannot kill me!"

"No one in this world can kill me anymore!"

She had devoured the Reincarnator named Ruofeng Lin. In exchange, she had granted him another life and allowed him, through this method, to escape the gaze of that great existence.

But at the same time, she had obtained many secrets she could never have known before.

For example, the true identities of the Seven Generations of Grudges.

For example, the greater powers hidden within this world.

The Moon Demon quickly instigated a war. Seven Nights Demon Lord successfully became Possessed by Demon, the Seven Generations of Grudges were personally dismantled by her, and the Seven Generations of Karma were likewise dealt with through Ruofeng Lin’s schemes.

The Moon Demon, the embodiment of the world’s resentment, had completely lost her restraints. Though she still hid behind Seven Nights Demon Lord, fear had long since vanished from her heart.

She merely needed Seven Nights Demon Lord to stand in front of her and serve as a target for the so-called chosen one of Destiny and the grander tale of fate that Ruofeng Lin had mentioned.

Countless strands of resentment gathered, and the Moon Demon’s body emerged once more from the blood mist.

As long as the resentment of the world remained, she, the Moon Demon, possessed an Immortal Body!

The Moon Demon spread her arms and let out an exhilarated scream, but in the next instant, countless sharp blades pierced through her body again.

She could not even see the enemy’s movements. She could only watch as her body was cut to pieces once more.

"Ruofeng Lin, what is going on? Hurry and use your power to interfere with her!"

The Moon Demon roared in her heart, but there was no response. She could only summon vast amounts of Demonic Energy and begin spraying it indiscriminately in all directions.

Ruofeng Lin’s consciousness, however, seemed to be drifting above the entire Imperial City.

He looked down upon everything below. That mausoleum had already shattered, just as he had never expected to survive long enough to enter the Black Emperor pathway himself.

Or rather, he had not constructed the Black Emperor’s mausoleum for his own resurrection in the first place.

Ruofeng Lin’s consciousness gazed down from the sky. His spirit body was immensely powerful, and in an instant, the entire city came into view.

Even though the outside world had already been turned upside down by battle, even though the aftershock of Mercenary Tao and Seven Nights Demon Lord’s fight had nearly destroyed the city—

Everyone was dirty and disheveled, but no one cared. They licked the dust and grit from one another’s bodies and stripped away all their clothes.

They indulged in endless pleasure to their hearts’ content.

He saw a woman sitting atop a gaunt man, using a knife to cut open his chest.

The pain made that heart beat even more violently.

"Ah!"

Cries rose and fell. Some people, having already finished their pleasure, began to descend into the brutality that followed waning desire. When even pleasure could no longer satisfy them, another desire rooted deep within their bones began to grow.

Slaughter!

Feasting!

Shaking his head, he descended from the sky in his spirit body and found the dying Pudu Cihang.

This great demon could probably be considered a Fierce-tier demon, but unfortunately, the helpers Qiqi had brought this time were simply too powerful.

Ruofeng Lin had not expected that, during the interval before Seven Nights Demon Lord even made a move, Pudu Cihang would be casually killed by the two of them.

If he and the Moon Demon had not rescued him, this ritual would probably already have ended.

His spirit body entered Pudu Cihang’s body, and the demon’s Demonic Power immediately surged.

All Sentient Beings Have Feelings!

Pudu Cihang was an extremely arrogant demon. Because of this world’s depravity, dead souls were forbidden from being delivered beyond, allowing demons to run rampant.

Thus, Pudu Cihang believed that the Immortals and Buddhas had all fallen into utter corruption, and he began comparing himself to them.

Pudu Cihang consciously modeled his abilities after the Buddha’s. Not only could he disguise himself with a golden Buddha body, he had also cultivated the Life-Reaping Buddhist Chant.

Pudu Cihang’s twisted nature made him completely reverse Buddhist teachings. Buddhism sought transcendence, while he pursued desire and depravity.

That was the fundamental reason Ruofeng Lin had kept him alive.

His ritual required such a force.

If he had to grant desire through his own power alone, Ruofeng Lin truly worried that he would be unable to keep everyone immersed in such desire for long.

Listening to the Sensual Music all around him and smelling that faint, suggestive scent even in the air, Ruofeng Lin finally relaxed slightly.

On the other side, the Moon Demon began to be affected by Life of Silence’s Heart Light Pulse, and her very essence started to weaken.

Ignoring the Moon Demon’s ceaseless cries for help from within their shared consciousness, Ruofeng Lin controlled Pudu Cihang. The enormous demon centipede body appeared and began racing madly around the Imperial City.

Countless feet traced all manner of marks across the ground.

As symbols continued to descend, Demonic Qi and Demonic Energy were cleared away. Replacing them was something formed from the convergence of endless Sensual Music and licentious scents, gathering within the immense circular symbol.

"In the name of the Cult of Lechery’s followers, I offer a feast for the arrival of my god!"

The giant centipede raised its head toward the sky and made this wish. Its voice, accompanied by the giant circle, sent golden runic power blooming upward into the heavens.

Rumble!

It seemed as if muffled thunder exploded in the sky.

An invisible change began to take shape between heaven and earth.

Then Ruofeng Lin detached himself from Pudu Cihang’s body. Pudu Cihang immediately realized what he had suffered and began loudly chanting the Life-Reaping Buddhist Chant.

Ruofeng Lin merely floated upward in his spirit body and, using Teacher of Chaos’s rank and authority, instantly twisted the target of Pudu Cihang’s ability.

The Life-Reaping Buddhist Chant began echoing within the circle.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Large numbers of humans who had indulged in terrifying pleasure could not withstand the Life-Reaping Buddhist Chant. Their heads and bodies exploded in an instant.

Under Ruofeng Lin’s influence, the exploding flesh and blood began forming a second ring.

A dense scent of blood spread outward. The Moon Demon, or more precisely, the Moon Demon who was being repeatedly killed and revived in battle with Life of Silence, noticed it as well.

But Life of Silence was certain that she only needed a little more time to erase the existence of the Moon Demon and Ruofeng Lin.

No matter how advanced their immortality was, being continuously killed by her would gradually grind away their existence.

Even if the resentment remained and the Moon Demon was reborn afterward, the reborn Moon Demon would no longer contain the present consciousnesses of the Moon Demon and Ruofeng Lin.

Qiqi slashed down fiercely. Her Battle Aura cut through the Moon Demon, the imperial palace behind her, and even the entrance to the Yin Moon Dynasty that had appeared farther below.

"Damn it, damn it…"

The Moon Demon became afraid. Her consciousness was connected to Ruofeng Lin’s, and she already knew what the problem was.

The Moon Demon immediately transformed into a purple shadow and flew toward the mountains.

But before she could get far, she saw a golden Ki Blast fly out from the mountain range and blast her straight back.

The Moon Demon let out a shriek.

"Holy Lord, Ruofeng Lin is trying to bring an evil god into this world! Please kill him quickly!"

"Moon Demon, Ruofeng Lin and you are connected as one. If I cannot kill you, how can I kill him?"

Seven Nights Demon Lord’s voice emerged from the mountains at the same time.

The Moon Demon discovered in astonishment that after that terrifying explosion, Seven Nights Holy Lord and that Reincarnator seemed to have stopped fighting.

Neither side had suffered fatal injuries.

Buzz!

A crimson fan swept in from behind. Bai Cangshu’s body flickered, and Seven Nights instantly drew his sword. The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique clashed with Qiqi’s slash.

Life of Silence Seven Seven took two steps back. Frowning, she was about to strike again when someone instantly appeared before her and seized her right hand.

Killing intent spread. Life of Silence slowly raised her head and looked at Mercenary Tao, whose hair, illuminated by qi, truly gave him something of the appearance of a Super Saiyan.

"Are you betraying me?"

She showed no displeasure. Instead, it was more as though she were giving Bai Cangshu an opportunity to explain.

Bai Cangshu felt the Heart Light Pulse continuously affecting him.

In the next moment, beneath his own heart, another heart began pounding violently as well.

Buzz…

A layer of silvery-white, illusory fluctuations began spreading from Bai Cangshu’s body into the outside world.

The two fluctuations canceled one another out, creating rings of ripples.

"Betrayal? I would not call it that, Miss Qiqi. We are merely partners."

"Don’t worry. Since I promised to help you kill Ruofeng Lin, I will certainly kill him. It is just that right now…"

"I am very interested in what he is trying to do!"

Bai Cangshu’s thinking was far more meticulous than Qiqi’s. From the moment Ruofeng Lin had unusually acted to save Pudu Cihang, he had realized that Pudu Cihang must have held some special purpose for Ruofeng Lin.

Thus, after the World-Shaking Thunder Roar directly blew apart the miasma and he sensed that some force had saved the ordinary people copulating within the city, he roughly understood that these people were the key to some kind of ritual.

After seeing Ruofeng Lin personally draw that enormous circle, he received a prompt.

You have come into contact with the special ritual: Arrival of the Chaos God.

Ruofeng Lin intended to bring a Chaos God from the Warhammer World into this astonishingly vast Native World!

Though he did not understand why, Bai Cangshu instinctively sensed amusement in such a thing.

And besides… there was still a chance!
