Xuan Qing Enters Demonic Path

Deep within the Chaos, the collision between the illusory image of Pangu True Body and the celestial stars has reached a fever pitch.

Chen Tian manipulated the incomplete Capital Heaven Divine Baleful Intent Array, each axe strike carrying the immense power to tear apart Chaos.

Tai Yi the Chaos Bell above his head and the Star Chart beneath his feet. Every strike of the Heavenly Emperor Sword draws upon the will of the celestial Stars.

However, their battles were by no means the only factor influencing the outcome of the Witch-Demon War.

The center of the Witch-Demon War.

Xuan Qing sat cross-legged in the void.

Witch Clan, Demon Clan, Human Race...

All the creatures that perished on the battlefield were ruthlessly transformed into their origin by the Devouring System within his body.

Xuan Qing's eyes were sometimes clear, and sometimes completely filled with deep darkness and thirst.

"Hahaha, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

"I will be the ultimate winner by Devouring System!"

The Devouring System's seductive laughter echoed from within Xuan Qing's sea of consciousness.

Xuan Qing's face showed a struggle, yet he was powerless to stop it.

Penglai in the East Sea.

Who is most interested in this major battle?

That must be Hao Tian, the protector of the Interception Sect and Outer-Heaven Demon.

"Let's fight already! Once we're done, I can go and become the Heavenly Emperor!"

After the war Witch-Demon King was over, Hongjun needed someone to manage the Prehistoric World.

When the time comes, the throne of the Heavenly Emperor will surely fall into his hands.

and...

They can even assign him Yao Chi as his wife!

The hard times are finally over! Waaah!

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

The members of the Chan Sect were also watching the battle.

Randeng stood with his hands at his sides atop the palace, his gaze piercing through the void and landing on that Chaos battlefield.

[Ding! A critical battlefield variable has been detected: Chen Tian of the Witch Clan and Tai Yi of the Demon Clan are locked in a fierce battle in the Chaos, and both are on the verge of mutual destruction.]

[Trigger the ultimate hunt mission]

A cold yet alluring mechanical voice suddenly resounded from the deepest part of Randeng Primordial Spirit's primordial spirit.

[Mission Objective: Take advantage of Chen Tian's exhaustion or serious injury to launch a fatal sneak attack and completely kill or suppress him.]

[Task Rewards: Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal Cultivation Level, Pangu's essence blood x10, Great Dao of Power Fragment x3]

[Given that the target's strength far exceeds the host's current level, and the opportunity is fleeting]

[Advance access to core rewards: Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation level]

[Accept the task and receive the reward in advance?]

Randeng never expected that the system would send him to ambush Chen Tian.

Never mind.

Let's grab the reward first, since the Dao Ancestor will cover it!

"Accept."

After Randeng finished speaking, his cultivation level instantly broke through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

However... he didn't make any move.

"Host, what are you standing there for? Go and deal with Chen Tian!"

The task system urged the Randeng.

That ingrate Chen Tian, he has to kill him to be happy.

"I'm not going!" Randeng said nonchalantly.

Going there would just be filling the ashes of a riot...

Only a fool would go!

"Fine, fine, you really think I'd make the same mistake twice, huh!"

Ever since Chen Tian the task system, it has become wary of any host.

He directly exercised his licensing authority, intending to turn the Randeng into a puppet.

"Hehehe, let me tell you a secret, I'm actually Randeng 2.0!"

Task System:???

The next instant, the mission system was directly stripped from Randeng's body.

The task system looked up and saw Hongjun smiling at him.

"Aaaaaah! This has disturbed Hongjun!"

Above the battlefield, the shadow of Xuan Qing sitting cross-legged had expanded to cover most of the Witch-Demon Battlefield.

A massive, pitch-black vortex formed beneath him, frantically devouring the Three Clans Witch-Demon and humans on the battlefield.

At this point, the Devouring System was no longer limited to corpses.

Even living beings would be absorbed the moment they came into contact with Xuan Qing's Devouring Dao.

"My husband!"

A piercing cry pierced through the carnage and wailing of the battlefield.

Qing Li transformed into a streak of azure light, rushing headlong into the ever-expanding darkness.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Stop! Stop right now! Look at what you've done!"

Qing Li stopped at the edge of the vortex, the violent devouring power almost pulling her in as well.

She radiated a warm, azure light, struggling to resist the attack.

"Husband, look at me! It's me, Li'er! Wake up!"

Xuan Qing, at the center of the vortex, trembled almost imperceptibly.

In the depths of those eyes, completely enveloped by darkness, a fleeting, extremely faint struggle and pain seemed to exist.

"Hmph, so noisy!"

The Devouring System's chilling consciousness roared in Xuan Qing's sea of consciousness, instantly overwhelming that faint fluctuation.

"A mere woman dares to block my path?!"

Xuan Qing suddenly looked up at Qing Li.

That gaze held no warmth whatsoever, only an indifference as if looking down upon ants, and a hint of impatience at being disturbed.

"Roll."

His lips didn't move, but his icy voice exploded directly within Qing Li's Primordial Spirit, carrying a strange power that eroded her soul.

Qing Li felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow. She let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. The azure light of creation surrounding her body swayed violently.

No... you are not him...

She shook her head, tears finally streaming down her face, yet carrying a stubbornness within them.

"Give me back my husband!"

She was no longer merely on the defensive; her fingertips radiated an unprecedentedly dazzling divine light of creation.

The light was gentle yet resilient, briefly illuminating part of the darkness around Xuan Qing, and then touching his brow!

She wanted to directly attack Xuan Qing's sea of consciousness and awaken his suppressed True Spirit!

"Presumptuous!"

The Devouring System was utterly enraged.

The darkness surrounding Xuan Qing instantly surged, transforming into countless ferocious tentacles that lashed out fiercely at Qing Li!

At the same time, he raised his hand, and a tiny black hole, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, suddenly formed in his palm, aimed at Qing Li's pressed finger.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll devour you first!"

"Use the essence of your Innate Supreme Treasure to help me completely refine this physical body!"

"Well..."

A long, sorrowful sigh echoed across the battlefield without warning.

The sigh carried a strange power that soothed the ferocity of the fighting, causing both sides of the frenzied Witch-Demon battle to pause in shock.

At the edge of the battlefield, ripples spread through the void.

Two golden lotuses bloomed silently, and the figures of Jieyin and Zhunti emerged from the lotuses.

Jieyin still wore that sorrowful face, as if bearing the weight of all the suffering in the world.

Zhunti held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand, his face bearing his usual compassionate expression.

"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore."

Jieyin his hands together, his compassionate gaze falling on Xuan Qing, who appeared to be going mad.

"Benefactor Xuan Qing, you have fallen into the Devil Dao. If you do not turn back, your True Spirit will be tainted and you will be doomed forever."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the roar of the battlefield's carnage and the vortex of devouring, resounding directly deep within Xuan Qing 'Primordial Spirit.

The boiling darkness surrounding Xuan Qing suddenly stopped.

Those eyes, completely consumed by a desire to devour, flickered violently, as if in a moment of struggle.

"Jieyin! Zhunti! It's you again!"

The Devouring System roared sharply within Xuan Qing's sea of consciousness.

"What? Do you two intend to interfere with the Witch-Demon Calamity?"

Zhunti stepped forward, and with a gentle brush of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, scattered specks of pure, crystalline light, temporarily halting the devouring tentacles that were spreading towards Qing Li.

"How can my fellow disciples and I stand idly by while our comrades fall into demonic possession?"

"Although my fellow disciples and I are of shallow Daoxing, we are willing to do our utmost to help Fellow Xuan Qing Xuanqing vanquish the evil forces and return to the righteous path."

Before the words were even finished, Jieyin and Zhunti moved simultaneously.

A soft yet vast golden Light Wheel appeared Jieyin the head.

Within the Light Wheel, the Western Paradise could be seen, accompanied by chanting and the fragrance of sandalwood.

The target is Xuan Qing's True Spirit origin, which has been obscured by the Devouring System.

At the same time, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Zhunti's hand emitted a seven-colored light, repeatedly brushing against the devouring vortex around Xuan Qing.

With each sweep, a section of the Devouring Dao was swept away.

"You bald Western monk! How dare you ruin my plans!"

The Devouring System was filled with shock and rage.

The golden light of the Jieyin power was able to shake his partial erosion of the Xuan Qing True Spirit.

Zhunti's Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree can even interfere with his devouring of the Great Dao.

What's more troublesome is that the actions of these two seem to have rekindled Xuan Qing's already weak will to resist!

Get out of my way!

Xuan Qing let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

He intends to devour these two meddlesome saints along with their power!

Both Jieyin and Zhunti sighed.

As space shifted, the three disappeared into the Prehistoric World.
