Demonic Self
Zhou Tong sat quietly in this forbidden area for three long years, pondering the path to breakthrough, perfecting his own cultivation, and perfecting his own path.
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!" Zhou Tong suddenly sighed.
Over the past three years, Zhou Tong has tried countless methods to break through this final barrier, but he has never been able to find a quick way to break through.
"You are on the Battle Immortal Path. Sitting here in meditation will most likely not lead to any advancement. Forcing your way through will only result in qi deviation," Ji Zi said from the side.
"The Battle Immortal Path is indeed the path to supreme combat power, and it is extremely suitable for your Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body. Unfortunately, this path can only lead to great distances and speed when there are enough opponents. You are already at least three hundred years ahead of the Golden Age, and there are no opponents who can make you advance quickly. What follows will mostly be a long and arduous process."
After three years of getting along, Ji Zi had come to understand Zhou Tong's Battle Immortal Path.
"No opponents? That's not necessarily true..." Zhou Tong looked at this forbidden area.
This place is the burial place of countless ancient gods and demons, each corresponding to a different Dao.
Legend has it that this place was once a battlefield in the Mythological Era, and even Ancient Great Emperor participated in the battles. Some extremely terrifying figures are buried here.
Moreover, the number is extremely astonishing, unknown in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions.
These countless powerful warriors, after their deaths, their blood remained undried and their bones remained intact, eventually transforming into this forbidden land— the God-Demon Ridge.
"You think you can revive a god or demon who is already dead?" Ji Zi was somewhat astonished, unsure of what Zhou Tong was planning.
"Resurrection is out of the question, but over the years I have occasionally comprehended a special technique..." Zhou Tong suddenly stood up, "The Secret Realm Transformation into a God, All Spirits in One Thought! This is certainly the path to immortality envisioned by the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate, but in fact, for someone like me who has already Annihilation the All Gods and is now just a single thought, it has a different application!!"
"The gods and demons are dead, but their Dao remains here!!" Zhou Tong his finger, and instantly all kinds of light danced in the God-Demon Ridge, shooting in all directions. His finger actually stirred the entire God-Demon Ridge.
The gods and demons who died here, the runes and Dao contained within their bodies remain here, and after countless years, they have long since transformed into various runes.
With so many gods and demons gathered, encompassing everything, it could almost contain all the ways and laws of the world.
"What are you going to do?" Ji Zi exclaimed.
"With my Essence Blood, I will bear the Dao of Heavenly Deity; with my divine will, I will evolve the souls of Heavenly Deity. I will recreate gods and demons!" Zhou Tong took a fancy to one of the divine and demonic runes, flicked his finger, and a drop of bright red blood, mixed with more than 30% purple, fell into that rune.
At the same time, on Zhou Tong's Immortal Platform, a divine and demonic pattern on the body of the Hegemonic Bell suddenly lit up. Then, the bell trembled slightly, emanating a layer of bell waves that spread out like ripples. However, this bell wave seemed to be imprisoned by some force, transforming into a halo that swirled around the bell.
Soon, the halo-like bell wave suddenly changed, and finally condensed into a brilliant divine light, which burst out from Zhou Tong's Immortal Platform and landed on the divine and demonic runes that had fused with Zhou Tong's drop of blood.
This is the great path of this god and demon.
This god and demon has been dead for countless years, and his Dao has gradually simplified over these countless years, eventually transforming into a most fundamental rune.
However, the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold can record the traces that once existed in the world. Zhou Tong perfectly restored these great principles and even returned them to this god and demon.
"Roar!!"
In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, and Zhou Tong's drop of blood rapidly transformed under the influence of divine and demonic runes and the Great Dao of Gods and Demons, gradually revealing a strange Demon God.
Its red hair flew wildly, its bronze skin shimmered with a precious light, its eyes were like knives, sharp and incomparable, and a single horn between its eyebrows exuded unparalleled divine power.
"You... gave your life to this drop of Quasi-Emperor's Essence Blood, and then forcibly resurrected the Demon God with it? No, the Demon God cannot be resurrected so easily. What else did you do?" Ji Zi found it hard to imagine what this Hegemon Body had done to actually resurrect the Demon God.
"The Lingbao Heavenly Venerate has transformed into a deity in the secret realm, where all spirits are but a thought; I am not incapable of reversing this path, transforming all spirits into a single thought... Though I am Demon God, my essence is still me; it is merely a killing intent that occasionally arises during my cultivation!"
"I have reached the point where I have no rivals on my Battle Immortal Path; but that does not mean I cannot create one!" Zhou Tong stared at the god-demon, feeling somewhat excited. This could be considered a way to break the deadlock.
"So that's how it is. This god-demon is infused with your Killing Intent, making it a kind of ' Demonic Self ' of yours. How audacious! Aren't you... aren't you afraid of dying here? Being killed by yourself?" Ji Zi was shocked.
He finally understood the reasoning behind Zhou Tong's actions.
Having cultivated to the point where Zhou Tong's physical body has reached the level of an emperor, rebirth through a drop of blood is simply a piece of cake.
He directly infused his Life Essence and killing intent into a drop of his own Essence Blood, while simultaneously fusing it with the fallen divine and demonic path, using this divine and demonic model to evolve a completely new Demonic Self.
"Even if this god-demon is resurrected, his physique may not be comparable to your Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body. Now, with your Hegemonic Blood as a catalyst for his 'resurrection,' he may even be stronger than at his peak. Especially since you infused him with killing intent, this god-demon is determined to kill you." Ji Zi didn't know what to say.
Because once this god-demon succeeds, he can replace Zhou Tong and be completely resurrected.
This method is tantamount to gambling with your life!
"Roar!!"
The roars of gods and demons were earth-shattering, and an incomparably terrifying imperial might surged forth, making it difficult even for Ji Zi to withstand. This was a god and demon evolved from Zhou Tong's Quasi-Emperor blood, and naturally, it also possessed an imperial body.
The imperial might was astonishing. Accompanied by the roars of gods and demons, it transformed into a towering, chaotic mist that rumbled loudly. It was as if the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens, threatening to engulf this entire God-Demon Ridge and turn the world upside down.
This god-demon exuded Killing Intent intent, its eyes filled with unparalleled killing intent and madness, as it charged towards Zhou Tong.
However, at this moment, the coffin of the Void Great Emperor emitted a clear light, stabilizing everything and preventing this earth-shattering imperial might from spreading out.
"Haha! Not bad, that's how strong you are, as expected of me!" Zhou Tong laughed loudly. At the same time, he casually tossed out the Array Diagram of Lingbao Heavenly Venerate, which appeared. Accompanied by Chaos Qi, Shrouding the Heavens, transforming this place into a vast battlefield.
The upcoming battle is essentially a life-or-death struggle between two Quasi-Emperor. Without the support of Imperial Weapon, the entire Divine Domain could be destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle.
"War!!"
Zhou Tong was filled with fighting spirit, his hair danced in the wind, and his eyes were sharp. He unleashed his still-imperfect Forbidden Domain, shattering the sky and cracking the Void the Great, as if World Creation.
His entire body radiated a terrifying light, surrounded by the roars of True Dragon, the leaping of Kunpeng from the sea, the soaring of Immortal Phoenix, and the flashes of lightning...
