A Robbery Several Eons Late

The top-level Demon Gods of the Primordial Wilderness were all extremely arrogant. Other than beings stronger than themselves, no one else was worth their notice.

Li Xinghe, however, was merely one of the last Demon Gods to be born. It could even be said that he was an extra. During the Creation Tribulation, he had only barely reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

At that time, Cause and Effect and Qian Kun had already reached the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. To them, Li Xinghe was no different from an ant.

The Demon Gods of the Primordial Wilderness also had their own hierarchy of contempt. For example, now that Cause and Effect had appeared and displayed the strength of a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Ancestor Qiankun no longer dared to put on airs.

Li Xinghe looked utterly depressed. What the hell, why? Cause and Effect was a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and you shut right up. I'm also a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, yet you look down on me.

"Cause and Effect Demon God, do you think you can profit from our conflict? If I hadn't been waiting for you to take the bait, I would have dealt with Qian Kun long ago."

The moment those words were spoken, Ancestor Qiankun jumped up again. "Brat, you only won because of your treasures. If you've got the guts, come again."

"Sorry, I wasn't targeting you specifically. I meant that both of you here are trash," Li Xinghe said blandly.

This time, even the Cause and Effect Demon God was enraged. It would have been one thing if Lord of Destiny had said it, but what right did a well-connected nobody like him have?

If not for the Creation Tribulation, I could kill you ten thousand times with a single thought.

"Courting death. Since you refuse to speak, I'll capture your primordial spirit first and force the answer out of you." Cause and Effect took a step forward, and countless Karma Threads shot out from his body.

All things beneath heaven and earth were tainted by Cause and Effect. Even in the Chaos World, only laws such as time, space, and Destiny could transcend its control.

Ancestor Qiankun also seized the chance to recall his Qiankun Cauldron, then hurled it straight at Li Xinghe.

With two former top-level Demon Gods joining forces, Li Xinghe remained completely unruffled.

When the two drew close, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended. A pearl surrounded by chaotic aura appeared above Li Xinghe's head.

"Young man, you have no martial virtue!" Ancestor Qiankun rapidly retreated, but the Qiankun Cauldron had been pinned in place and could no longer be recalled.

The Cause and Effect Demon God was cursing as well. He had hidden in the shadows for a long time. Earlier, Ancestor Qiankun had said that Li Xinghe spent most of his time cultivating his magic power and had no time to refine Chaos Supreme Treasures.

And Li Xinghe truly had not used a Chaos Supreme Treasure. He had only used the Pure World White Lotus to fend off his enemies, so he thought Ancestor Qiankun had guessed correctly.

What he did not know was that Li Xinghe had long known the Cause and Effect Demon God was hiding nearby. Besides, mere Qian Kun was not qualified to make him use a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

But the Cause and Effect Demon God was different. The Law of Karma was extraordinary, and his opponent was already a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He could not be underestimated.

"Let us pretend I was never here today!" The Cause and Effect Demon God hurriedly severed his Cause and Effect with Li Xinghe.

It was too terrifying. The Chaos Supreme Treasure possessed astonishing power, but what was truly frightening was that Li Xinghe could actually wield its might.

In theory, to unleash the power of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, one had to refine at least one-third of its Chaos Divine Prohibitions. Even a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal would need to spend a very long time doing so. What gave Li Xinghe the right?

"You want to leave? How could that be possible without leaving something behind?" Li Xinghe snorted coldly.

Back in the Chaos World, if Pangu had not persuaded him otherwise, after robbing the Chaos Pearl, the Cause and Effect Demon God would have been next.

This was a robbery delayed by several Eons. The Cause and Effect Demon God had finally appeared, and such an opportunity was hard to come by.

At the Cause and Effect Demon God's level, it was difficult for Li Xinghe to divine his whereabouts. If the other party had not formed Cause and Effect with him first by harboring hostile intentions, Li Xinghe might have been plotted against today.

The Chaos Pearl's pressure suppressed all directions, alarming even the Ancestral Dragon beneath the Eastern Sea.

It was fucking terrifying. They were both pearls, yet the Chaos Pearl was not merely a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than his Ancestral Dragon Pearl.

But the rebellious Ancestral Dragon was not afraid. He was even wondering whether he might have a chance to seize it in the future.

The Cause and Effect Demon God was crushed by the Chaos Pearl's pressure until he could barely breathe, desperately thinking of a way to escape.

"What? At this point, do you still intend to hide your Accompanying Spiritual Treasure?" Li Xinghe suddenly asked.

The Cause and Effect Demon God's expression changed. As a Chaos Demon God, he naturally possessed an Accompanying Spiritual Treasure. He had not even brought it out during the Creation Tribulation.

Before Pangu Axe, no spiritual treasure had any power to resist.

Moreover, very few in the Chaos World knew of his Accompanying Spiritual Treasure. After the Creation Tribulation, no one should have known about it.

But at this point, he could no longer keep it hidden.

Against Pangu and Pangu Axe, he had no chance at all. But against Li Xinghe and the Chaos Pearl, he could still struggle.

The next second, an ancient tree behind the Cause and Effect Demon God rapidly grew larger, barely blocking the pressure of the Chaos Pearl.

The Karma Tree, the Cause and Effect Demon God's Accompanying Spiritual Treasure, was a Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure. In terms of power, it ranked among the very best in all Chaos, likely inferior only to the Accompanying Spiritual Treasures of Time and Fate.

Li Xinghe's eyes lit up. As expected of one of the foremost Chaos Demon Gods. The Karma Tree's grade was probably not much worse than the Wheel of Time and Destiny Roulette from back then.

"Li Xinghe, consider this my loss today. From now on, you walk your bright road, and I'll cross my narrow bridge." The Cause and Effect Demon God rapidly retreated.

"You want to run after losing? Where in this world could such a cheap deal exist? Didn't you see Ancestor Qiankun offer up his Qiankun Cauldron?" Li Xinghe took a step forward. The Law of Space surged, and he appeared directly behind the Cause and Effect Demon God.

Ancestor Qiankun wanted to cry but had no tears. You were clearly the one who robbed it. He only wanted to say, "I was careless back then. I didn't dodge, and the Qiankun Cauldron was taken away."

The Cause and Effect Demon God's expression grew increasingly grave. Li Xinghe had displayed powerful Laws of Space and Destiny, both of which stood above the Law of Karma.

Now, whether in cultivation, laws, or treasures, he was being completely crushed. He had no chance of victory.

But if he surrendered just like that, where would he put his pride?

Among the Three Thousand Demon Gods of Chaos, the strongest, Pangu, had fallen after creating heaven and earth. Time and Fate had disappeared without a trace. The Space Demon God Yang Mei was left with only half his body and had temporarily departed the Chaos World. Chaos had been completely slain.

No matter how he calculated it, the Cause and Effect Demon God should now have been the strongest one. Yet Li Xinghe, this scheming bastard, had appeared.

Seeing the Cause and Effect Demon God still resisting desperately, Li Xinghe was in no hurry. He had yet to fully unleash the Chaos Pearl's power.

One always had to keep something in reserve, lest someone with ulterior motives set their sights on it.

"It seems you still haven't given up hope." Li Xinghe smiled faintly and took out another treasure.

It was the Primordial World's Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. "This treasure gained one-tenth of the Merit of creation. Killing with it incurs no Cause and Effect. I wonder whether it will be enough to kill you, Cause and Effect Demon God."

Even the Cause and Effect Demon God could not endure this any longer. A Chaos Supreme Treasure and a Merit Supreme Treasure—are you the Great Dao's illegitimate son or something?!

"What do you want?"

Li Xinghe finally revealed a faint smile. Although he also wanted to kill the Cause and Effect Demon God, he vaguely sensed that the Great Dao seemed to be watching again.

Though the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler incurred no Cause and Effect when killing, he did not dare gamble on it.

"Ten Karma Tree Fruits, and I'll let you leave."

"Impossible!" the Cause and Effect Demon God roared. Li Xinghe was actually after those.

The Karma Tree bore only one fruit every One Yuan Meeting. Most of its fruits had been directly consumed by the Cause and Effect Demon God to comprehend the Law of Karma.

From the birth of Chaos until now, only a hundred Eons had passed, and he had consumed most of the Karma Tree Fruits.

Especially after the Creation Tribulation, when his Demon God body was slain, he had used up many more fruits after reincarnating and cultivating again. He did not even have ten fruits left himself.

But facing the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, he quickly changed his tune. "At most three!"

"Eight!"

"Four!"

In the end, the two settled on five Karma Tree Fruits. The Cause and Effect Demon God completely severed the Karma Threads and swore never to cross paths with Li Xinghe again.
