Hate-Filled Demon

The pure white bone walls were like a cage, with many bone spurs growing on them, emitting a faint cold light.

Erupting, countless bone spurs attacked the two like rapidly firing bullets.

Seeing Ji Tian in a state of indifference, the Demonic Dragon thought that perhaps these bone spurs posed no threat to him when he was awake, but could be fatal in this state.

The Demonic Dragon coiled its body, wrapping Ji Tian in the middle.

Boundless bone spurs clanged against the Demonic Dragon, blocked by its scales. But the bone spurs seemed alive, twisting and drilling into the gaps between the scales, an unbearable itch seeping into its Primordial Spirit.

The Demonic Dragon continuously slapped its entire body with its tail, feeling like it could alleviate the unbearable itch.

Was this a ploy to abandon Ji Tian, or did it have another purpose?

Itching, a violent itch, the Demonic Dragon's strength in lashing its body increased, only this could suppress the itch.

Sparks flew between the scales. With a violent lash, the Demonic Dragon let out a long roar, its own abdomen becoming bloody and mangled, scales flying everywhere from being struck by its tail.

"You want me to beat myself to death, you damn bone worms."

The Demonic Dragon roared, spitting out a breath of dragon fire, creating boundless water out of thin air and immersing itself.

It felt a little better, but the bone worms were still restless.

Freeze, freeze myself, freeze all of you.

The bone prison was chilling, boundless cold power permeated, freezing the entire bone prison.

The Great Desolate Skeleton sensed no movement from the bone prison and probed with its Spiritual Sense. A surge of coldness entered its body along with its Spiritual Sense.

"So cold, I want to freeze myself, but I can't. Bone Fire Blazing!"

Boundless water droplets formed on the bone walls. The droplets continuously condensed, and as their own gravity increased, they all dripped towards the profound ice.

The water droplets transformed into ghastly white flames in the air. This was a Yin Yang fire, the fire of white bones, fueled by Yin power and using the bones of skeletons as raw material. It could burn ghosts and refine all things. It was a destructive flame, harming oneself before harming others, burning oneself to gain temporary destructive power.

Boundless heatwaves resisted the boundless cold, but as the bone fire increased, the cold was continuously refined and annihilated. The entire profound ice melted, gradually revealing the Demonic Dragon's black spine.

The bone worms that had merged into the gaps between the scales also began to burn intensely.

Is this refinement? To be refined into ashes! This is destruction!

The Demonic Dragon contracted its body, condensing the refined cold energy and continuously spitting dragon breath, forming a barrier of ice to temporarily contain the burning of the bone fire.

"Ji Tian, wake up quickly, or we won't even be able to be ghosts this time."

Ji Tian's golden Sea of Consciousness was on the verge of collapse, filled with powerful hatred.

The hatred transformed into black seawater, continuously devouring the golden Sea of Consciousness.

The golden seawater receded to the surroundings of three mountain peaks, surging slowly.

The golden grand hall gradually collapsed, turning into a broken, gloomy haunted house of blackness.

Ji Tian's soul struggled to keep the entire Sea of Consciousness from collapsing, but he was almost helpless. The deities within the three mountains were also indifferent, falling into a deep sleep.

Ji Tian sighed, Is this another tribulation? This time it's going to cost me my life.

Ji Tian drifted in the black and gold mixed seawater, constantly forming hand seals. Little by little, the black seawater was contained by Ji Tian. Each bit contained was thrown towards the three Sword Mountains, and the Sword Mountains immediately condensed these black seawater into a pool above the peaks.

At this moment, a majestic figure condensed from the black seawater.

A powerful voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness: "I will kill all living beings in this world, I will destroy this Great Dao. You and I are one, why don't you help me?"

Ji Tian pondered, "I intend to walk the Way of Slaughter, but I will not choose to kill indiscriminately. What wrong have the beings of heaven and earth done? They are merely trying to survive. What wrong has the Heavenly Dao done? It is also for survival."

"Since everything in the world is for survival, am I not also for survival? Why should the Heavenly Dao deprive me of my right to survive? Look at the Netherworld, why are there so many ghosts? Are they not all filled with hatred and resentment in their hearts? Why has their right to survival been deprived?"

Ji Tian was speechless. To sacrifice one's own right to survive for the survival of others, was he willing? He muttered to himself, "Yes, the Heavenly Dao enforces order for heaven and earth, allowing the strong to prey on the weak. For the sake of enforcing order, it will also eliminate the strongest who threaten it. Is this the so-called ultimate rule, the impartiality of heaven and earth?"

"This fairness is built on the foundation of the strong; the weak have no say. The strong in heaven and earth are also weak in the face of the Heavenly Dao. I should hate heaven and earth, for it serves the strong, wantonly trampling on the survival rights of the weak. I should hate it for sealing me in the Netherworld. If not for a chance encounter, I don't know what my fate would have been. Why not hate this heaven and earth!"

Ji Tian felt an inexplicable hatred forming within him, merging with this black ocean.

"Yes, hate it, let us destroy this heaven and earth together."

Ji Tian's soul body continuously became ethereal, a tremendous power pulling him into the black ocean beneath his feet.

At this moment, the three Sword Mountains in the Sea of Consciousness emitted a dark, ethereal glow. They slowly sank towards the seabed.

Ji Tian felt his soul stir. The fear, killing intent, and ferocity within him were receding, not receding, but being devoured by hatred.

Will I sink into hatred? This world is hateful, but every being has the right to exist. I can kill them, kill them all, and then what? Only I will be left in the world. Is this the outcome I want? Is this the life I want to choose?

I want to be myself, not for others. That time I chose to bear part of others' burden, gaining their Soul Power, but the price was to find the remains of Great God Pangu. But I was still being myself, controlling all my actions and thoughts. Is that going to change now? Am I going to betray my past beliefs? Is that still me?

No, I cannot compromise. I am still me. Ji Tian felt the three thoughts being constantly devoured gradually condense. A golden light, like the rising sun, appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, breaking through all darkness. This was his strongest belief: to live for himself, to survive for his own world.

That ray of golden light enveloped the belief hall that had turned black, forming a scorching sun. Within the scorching sun, a golden hall was magnificent and beautiful.

The boundless black seawater receded. The black seawater condensed into a majestic, imposing black shadow.

It sneered, "Can you expel me? You have hatred in your heart, you can never expel me." The black shadow swirled, and boundless black water roared like fierce ghosts, charging towards the golden seawater.

"Sink, all will be dominated by death."

Ji Tian's Primordial Spirit moved, doing his utmost to merge his hatred into this black seawater. He wanted to seize more control, only then could he possibly devour the hatred in that remnant soul.

"You cannot devour me. Our Soul Power is of the same origin. One day, your Sea of Consciousness will be swallowed by hatred. Your belief in strength is too weak, haha, it cannot dispel this darkness of death."

Ji Tian stood under the scorching sun, contemplating that even with his greatest effort, he could only control less than a third of the power of hatred. He couldn't suppress this念 of hate at all, so if he couldn't suppress it, he would guide it.

Ji Tian sent a strand of Spiritual Sense towards the slumbering humanoid bat and said, "I need to borrow your body."

The humanoid being slowly opened its eyes, glanced at the surging black sea, and sent back a strand of Spiritual Sense: "I am you, and that body is also you. Have you considered the consequences?"

Ji Tian murmured, "Perhaps this will create a Demon, a Demon that only brings death. I only hope my thoughts of hate can suppress him."

Ji Tian continuously formed hand seals, unleashing various divine abilities. The entire Sea of Consciousness flashed with golden light. The boundless golden sea and a portion of the black sea surged back to attack.

Ji Tian mobilized the soul power within his entire Sea of Consciousness, restraining the churning black sea, and roared, "Condense!" Countless forces sealed the entire Sea of Consciousness.

A powerful voice echoed, "Do you want to perish together? Will you?"

Ji Tian drew a wisp of his soul, integrated it into his念 of hate, enveloped the boundless black sea, and tore through the void.

In a certain part of the Netherworld Land, a pillar of sky-piercing Killing Qi vibrated intensely. A creature within opened its eyes and let out a roar.

A distant voice echoed throughout the Netherworld Land, "The moment I am born, it will be the moment the heavens and earth perish."

Ji Tian opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "I will definitely take back this念 of hate."

Seeing Ji Tian wake up, the Demonic Dragon cried out, "Master, you're finally awake! If you had been any later, we might have turned to dust."

Ji Tian scanned it. What kind of fire was this? It was clearly Yin Fire, yet it possessed the properties of Yang Fire.

However, the realm of the caster was still a bit too low. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.

Ji Tian waved his arm, and a bone finger pointed. A phantom of a finger containing destructive power shot towards the sky.

The continuously burning Bone Fire wrapped around the phantom of the finger.

Ji Tian shook his head. If the power of one finger wasn't enough, then he would give it a punch.

A massive fist roared upwards, smashing apart the condensing Bone Fire. Its momentum unabated, it smashed through the entire bone prison.

"Clatter, clatter..." Broken bones continuously fell.

The Great Desolate Skeleton was somewhat shocked. Even its strongest divine ability couldn't refine the opponent. What could it do now?

Ji Tian and the Demonic Dragon rushed out of the bone prison. The boundless broken bones were swept towards the sky by the Demonic Dragon.

The Demonic Dragon roared, its entire dragon body pressing down on the Great Desolate Skeleton, its tail continuously lashing out.

The entire Great Desolate Skeleton instantly shattered into pieces.

The Demonic Dragon was still not satisfied. It continuously spewed dragon breath, freezing the broken bones. You can reassemble, can you? I'll freeze you eternally.

"Crack, crack..."

However, a few black bone fragments shot out from the ice, landing among the scattered bones and releasing rolling black mist.

A Great Desolate Skeleton stood up again, but it used ordinary bones. Its original skeleton had been frozen by the Demonic Dragon.

"Essence of Bone," flashed in Ji Tian's Primordial Spirit. Those few fragments were the essence of bones between heaven and earth, perhaps the essence of Pangu's Remains that had become sentient.

Ji Tian stopped the berserk Demonic Dragon and said to the Great Desolate Skeleton, "Are you willing to follow me?"

The Great Desolate Skeleton realized that the two before it were a bit too formidable to provoke, and it quickly nodded.
