Death Demon

A voice echoed in Li Shiwei's heart.

Just like everyone else, everyone will inevitably say something in their heart.

This is called 'heartfelt voice'.

But how many people will actually think about it...?

Is the voice in one's heart truly spoken by oneself, or by something else?

Li Shiwei immediately closed her eyes.

However, she was surprised to find that she could still see things even with her eyes closed.

Her consciousness seemed to have strangely split into two parts.

One person could clearly perceive the things in the outside world, while the other seemed to be trapped in a dream.

In her dream, she was exactly the same as in reality.

But there was one more person.

In front of her was a girl who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

She had fair skin, wore a dress, and had long black hair that trailed on the ground, yet it was surprisingly clean.

This girl gives off an impression... as if she is spotless.

Her skirt only reached her calves, and she wasn't wearing shoes or socks. She just stood there on the ground, and although it was covered in dust and dirt, it gave off a strange, clean feeling.

"...Demonic thoughts." Li Shiwei immediately said, "A secondary celestial demon? It actually found its way here."

After speaking, she immediately tried to take action.

But at this moment, the girl, who was clearly stained but still looked spotless, raised her head and glanced at Li Shiwei.

The little brat's hand suddenly went limp.

She... couldn't bring herself to do it.

"You're mistaken, I'm not a demon." The girl said indifferently, stood up, and walked to Li Shiwei's side.

She was still a child's size, so she was much shorter than Li Shiwei, only reaching about Li Shiwei's chest.

The innocent and pure girl looked up at Li Shiwei, stretched out a slender finger, and poked Li Shiwei's chest.

In an instant, Li Shiwei felt the demonic thoughts in her heart calm down, and her mind immediately became clear.

"I'm merely using the body of the Heavenly Demon. As you can see, this appearance is just the Heavenly Demon's pleasure. He's always liked this, especially towards me," the girl said.

Her voice wasn't as emotionally rich as the Heavenly Demon's; instead, it had a particularly indifferent quality.

It wasn't the indifference of Shen Shuibi.

Shen Shuibi's indifference was nonchalant; she was thinking about other things, which made her appear somewhat aloof.

The girl's voice was even colder, carrying a chilling Death Intent that Li Shiwei found difficult to describe...

It was as if, just hearing the other person's voice gave her the illusion that she was about to die.

"Especially to you? Who are you?" Li Shiwei became cautious. She knew she was under the influence of demonic thoughts, so she dared not let her guard down.

But for some reason, she always had a strange feeling.

She sensed that the other party had no ill intentions or hostility, and even actively restrained their power, which made her subconsciously ignore the option of resistance.

"Who is she? Who is she? Why don't you guess?" At this moment, a teasing voice came from Li Shiwei's ear.

Li Shiwei immediately turned around.

Another girl, who looked exactly the same but whose hair, eye, and clothing colors were completely opposite, was standing behind Li Shiwei.

White hair, white eyes, black dress—otherwise, she was exactly the same as the previous girl.

White pupils, with the whites of the eyes turning black, making it look very terrifying.

But in a rather intimate voice, she walked up to Li Shiwei and said to her with a smile again, "Guess who she is?"

Her innocent appearance evoked pity, but it sent chills down Li Shiwei's spine.

At this moment, the girl who was initially spotless gently reached out her hand.

The girl who appeared later, with the opposite color, was directly destroyed. Although it was a void demonic thought, it should normally be immune to damage, but it was destroyed at its root.

Unfortunately, after that, another new one emerged from the surrounding open space.

The spotless girl reached out again.

Another one destroyed.

And so, a new one emerges.

Continue to destroy, continue to reappear.

Soon, it seemed that the girl who was against the color found this boring, so people began to appear all around her.

A large number of people, a vast number of people, all kinds of different people.

A rustic villager, an armored soldier, a market vendor, a portly merchant, a beautiful young girl, a valiant warrior, a cheerful boy, a ruthless swordsman, a gentle mother, a scholar in a blue robe, an elderly man in his eighties...

A sea of people was gathering in this direction.

Li Shiwei was terrified because the scene was too bizarre.

But the spotless girl's eyes didn't even wave, she merely waved her hand.

All of these people were destroyed once again.

"It's annoying, Bojun. If you continue like this, I will eliminate your escape route the next time you confront the Buddha." The spotless girl said, "I have already accepted your body. If you continue, you will not see any good shows after this."

She spoke

"Alright, alright, just kidding~ Besides, isn't this body beautiful? It's so pretty! All of this is formed from the Dakini Heaven. It would be hard to find a body that can compare to it in all the heavens." At this moment, the girl with the reversed color reappeared, smiling, and hugged the spotless girl.

Li Shiwei stood to the side, taking deep breaths repeatedly, her expression serious.

She didn't know what Bojun was, but she knew what 'Buddha' represented and understood who Dakini Heaven was.

Then, the existence before our eyes becomes obvious.

Mara of Self-Transformation.

Why?

Why would they look for me? I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable mortal...

"Yes, you are indeed an ordinary mortal. Normally I wouldn't bother looking for you. But don't you think this figure is quite interesting?" The Heavenly Demon pointed to the spotless girl he was holding.

"The most terrifying being in all the heavens, the enemy of all Dao Lineage, the final destination of all life, the end of all things, is now confined in the body of such a young girl. Isn't that interesting?" the Heavenly Demon said in a mocking tone.

"Oh, you probably don't know any of these titles, but you should know 'Death Demon', right?"

The voice of the Heavenly Demon came softly.

Li Shiwei skipped a beat.

She felt a rush of heat to her brain, her heart stopped, her inner world became chaotic, her cultivation became scattered, and her Dao heart was instantly shaken.

Then, she simply fainted.

The little brat didn't have Li Qi's big heart and unwavering will; just hearing the words "Death Demon" was enough to make her collapse.

Coma is a human self-protection mechanism, and this little rascal made full use of it.

"Hmm, I'm really dizzy. My soul is shaken. I'm afraid it will leave me with a chronic illness. What do you say?" The Heavenly Demon looked at the Death Demon with a grin.

Unexpectedly, even he, the Heavenly Demon, hadn't anticipated this.

The deaths resulting from the Human-Shaman War, the war between humans and dragons, and the involvement of the demonic path have actually attracted the Death Demon.

One of the Four Demons, who had long since sealed themselves away, has now been drawn back to this world by the deathly aura that permeates the universe.

"It doesn't matter. The root of the problem is the root of the problem. As long as she exists, that's enough. In the future that was cut off by Wushen Mountain, it was she who made Li Qi willing to accept you and me. She is the key to facing Li Qi," the Death Demon said.

"That period of time has been erased, what else do you want to do? Don't even think about Li Qi. Even I can't make a move with that Witch Xian personally watching over him, let alone you." The Heavenly Demon sighed, her delicate body pressed against the Death Demon's body again.

The Death Demon remained completely expressionless. "Then you lost, not me."

"So, I've already lost. You're not even as good as me, yet you still want to make a move? Without my cover... if Amitabha knew you had awakened, the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss would have been prepared just for you, a Buddhist Pure Land where all death is eradicated. If you were to sleep there... tsk tsk tsk, you wouldn't wake up even if the universe were destroyed." The Heavenly Demon said with a grin.

"Let's wait until he arrives. The deaths brought about by this war are not enough. Although the future has been cut off, the power consumed by Wushen Mountain must be considerable. After all... the cutting off requires someone else's consent. Let's wait and see for now. Just erase her memories, and then... wait quietly without interfering." The Death Demon said.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Honestly, you start ordering people around as soon as you wake up, even though I'm older than you all..." The Heavenly Demon pouted with her girlish figure and then gently tapped her finger.

Li Shiwei's soul was completely cleansed, and all demonic thoughts vanished.

The Death Demon glanced at his spotless girlish body and shook his head. "I've already cooperated with you quite a bit."

"It's very beautiful, don't you think? Moreover, the most important thing is not the skin itself, but the skin inhabited by the Death Demon. That's what makes it so appealing, you know? The identity is different now." The Heavenly Demon looked his work up and down.

Who would have thought that such a charming, lovely, and innocent girl harbors the most evil within her?

This is the true evil of all the heavens, a purer form of wickedness than any other being.

There are many reasons for killing.

Some are driven by anger, some by self-interest, some by a sense of justice and righteousness, some by resistance, and some by self-preservation. In the most vicious and heinous cases, killing is merely for one's own pleasure and satisfaction.

But there are reasons for all of this. Killing is just a means. Even if killing is for pleasure, it is still for pleasure that one kills.

However, this is not the case for the Death Demon.

For him, killing and death were the very essence and purpose of everything.

There was no purpose, no joy or sorrow, no likes or dislikes, no justice or evil, only killing.

The Death Demon doesn't like killing, but he doesn't hate it either; he just calmly takes more lives.

Why, you ask?

There's no reason why.

It's like... a natural phenomenon. It appeared, so life had to end. It's that simple. Even the Death Demon himself doesn't know why.

But, is there a reason?

No need, just kill them.

Kill and kill, kill and kill until the heavens fall, the myriad worlds fall silent, kill until nothing remains in the universe.

An enemy of all Dao Lineage, a killing machine without any reason, and... quite intelligent.

The Death Demon always knew how to bring about the most death.

The current Human-Shaman War, and between humans and dragons, are still too small.

The Death Demon had successfully instigated a larger war and unleashed real carnage, but unfortunately, that reality was thwarted by the Wushen Mountain.

The Death Demon didn't intervene; there was no need.

One future may be cut off, but there are still countless futures to come.

It doesn't matter.

The future struggle has been confirmed to be related to Li Qi, who will ignite an even greater conflict, as evidenced in many possible future scenarios.

This has been observed for a long time.

All of this is related to the Heavenly Demon. Everything stems from his companion, who dragged Li Qi into the vortex. When the Heavenly Demon falls, the Buddhist Kingdom will inevitably fall. Thus, this vortex caused the appearance of the Wushen Mountain, which in turn triggered the emergence of Human Path. As a result, dragons, gods, and demons all found themselves on the battlefield.

Everything was because of Li Qi, which provoked the Heavenly Demon to throw himself into the situation without hesitation.

The Death Demon glanced sideways at the Heavenly Demon.

The other party seemed oblivious, examining the body with great interest, as if genuinely believing that entering this body was something to celebrate, and was even willing to leave the Formless Heaven to help the Death Demon.

It's hard to understand. From the day it was born, the Death Demon has had a hard time understanding the Heavenly Demon, who is always willing to pay a huge price for some inexplicable things.

But it doesn't matter anymore; the Death Demon doesn't care about those things, nor does it care what the body looks like.

The hidden plan has already been laid; how many times can Wushen Mountain cut away the future?

With that thought, the Death Demon vanished.

The Heavenly Demon smiled and vanished from the spot.

Only Li Shiwei opened her eyes.

"Hmm?" She looked at the battle report in her hand with some confusion.

Were you just spacing out? No, right?

If you check the time, it really only took one blink.

Let's continue reading the battle report.

After reading the battle report for a while, she suddenly felt annoyed and couldn't continue reading.

Her parents' achievements were so outstanding that she seemed like a useless person in comparison.

Both parents are the pride of heaven, among the strongest of all the fifth-rank beings in the myriad realms, and are almost destined to hold high positions in the future.

But there was nothing she could do.

Annoyed.

She had actually accepted this fact before, after all, the idea that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes is a luxury, and whether the offspring are outstanding or not has little to do with the parents' generation.

The children of great beings may have a higher starting point, but that doesn't mean they will reach a higher end.

If you can't do it yourself, your starting point may very well be your destination.

Thinking this, she got up in frustration and suddenly swung a punch.

It's just venting; the world is already on the verge of death anyway.

But with that casual wave of her hand, Li Shiwei suddenly realized something was wrong!

But all that could be seen was a silent wave of energy passing by. Wherever Li Shiwei's attack hit, everything collapsed, and all matter disintegrated into its original form of energy.

With a single move, a massive canyon, three thousand miles long and one thousand miles deep, was created, without any explosion or similar sound.

It's less of an 'attack' and more of a 'melting of ice and snow'.

Li Shiwei herself was stunned.

The stone at his waist started yelling wildly, "Boss!? You... had an epiphany? What happened?"

"I... I don't know." Li Shiwei glanced at her hands.

Just a moment ago, she seemed to have touched some kind of... Daoist essence?
