Fate Demon God, Requesting a Trade
Hongjun suddenly became violent, his gaze sharp and fierce, just as he was about to devour the entire Heavenly Dao.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
A mysterious power suddenly erupted. This power did not originate from the Heavenly Dao, but had always been hidden within Heavenly Dao.
It was extremely unfamiliar, yet incredibly powerful, and intended to use his body as a medium to seize the fruits of the Devouring Heavenly Dao.
"Who are you?"
Hongjun was furious, and his aura began to surge violently, emanating a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world.
Everyone was stunned. The Dao Ancestor's aura was incredibly terrifying, as if he could explode at any moment.
"Ha ha..."
A loud laugh rang out, and Hongjun's face contorted into a ferocious expression, as if he had become a completely different person.
The aura emanating from his body also changed, shifting rapidly and constantly.
At this moment, Hongjun laughed loudly, "You take the Heavenly Dao as your source, and I take you as my source. No matter how much you scheme, you still underestimated me."
In the end, I reached a higher level.
"Hongjun, you were destined for tragedy, but in the end, you made my life complete!"
It was a terrifying scene. Hongjun grinned maliciously and uttered chilling words, actually mocking his own tragic fate.
Everyone knew that something was wrong with the Dao Ancestor at this moment; it was as if he had been possessed.
"Are you the Fate Demon God?" At this moment, Hongjun's expression returned to normal, and a terrifying divine light shone in his eyes.
He unleashed a power that swept across heaven and earth, determined to banish the Fate Demon God.
"Hongjun, isn't it a little too late to realize this now?"
His expression changed again, a perfect example of a face-changing act. His body was engulfed in raging demonic flames, which began to burn and melt the space around him.
"Get out, or I'll refine you along with me. How could my scheme possibly benefit someone else?"
The demonic flames surrounding Hongjun subsided, and he regained the initiative.
"No need to leave, you can all go together."
At this moment, Ling Xiao raised his hand and grabbed, abandoning the Fangtian Halberd, and a large axe that shimmered with nature and vitality appeared in his hand.
He set off and chopped down at Hongjun's head.
He won't be like the villains in cartoons, waiting for the protagonist to transform and evolve.
Now is the best time to kill both the Fate Demon God and Hongjun.
This is the moment he's been waiting for.
"Ling Xiao! How dare you!" Hongjun roared, unleashing a terrifying surge of energy. Although he was Fate Demon God, his own magical power remained formidable.
If he weren't the Fate Demon God, he would already be a complete Heavenly Dao Realm expert!
"Hongjun, I told you long ago that devouring the Heavenly Dao would bring backlash, why didn't you listen?"
Ling Xiao sneered, his hands moving without pause. The Axe of Nature burst forth with natural light, its sharpness enough to cleave through Chaos and sever even the most precious treasures.
"So you knew all along that the Fate Demon God was hiding within the Heavenly Dao, and you were in cahoots?"
Hongjun was shocked. He hadn't expected that Ling Xiao had known about this all along. No wonder he had been so fearless and even provoked him to devour the Heavenly Dao.
"Collusion? You didn't just find out now that the Fate Demon God is the former Kunpeng, did you?"
Ling Xiao laughed, Axe of Nature fell mercilessly.
Boom...
The great axe cleaved down with unstoppable force, but struck a large cauldron. This object was the Cosmic Cauldron, Innate Supreme Treasure and the most precious possession of the Qiankun Ancestor.
Hongjun kept it all this time, never having the chance to give it away. It was originally intended for Nuwa to use to Mending the Heavens, but with Mount Buzhou still standing, what was the point of mending the sky?
The Cosmic Cauldron trembled violently under the giant axe, nearly flying away.
Hongjun's expression changed drastically, and he almost lost his mind. Now he finally understood why the Fate Demon God was hiding in the Heavenly Dao.
It turns out he was the one who orchestrated all of this.
Hongjun almost vomited, utterly exasperated by his own stupidity.
In that brief moment of distraction, the Fate Demon God regained control.
His gaze, deep and cold, fixed on Ling Xiao, and he shouted:
"I'll give you a choice: help me devour the Heavenly Dao Hongjun. If you succeed, you will gain my friendship, and I will reward you handsomely. I'll grant you one request."
"Or you can watch from the sidelines, but do not take action, or you will bear the consequences."
Now is a critical moment, and he naturally cannot tolerate Ling Xiao killing Hongjun.
Because they are one, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
[A trade request has been detected from the Fate Demon God. Please make a choice.]
[Option 1: Grant the request of the Fate Demon God and be rewarded with one Law of Fate.]
[Option Two: Refuse the request of the Fate Demon God, and you will be rewarded with an Innate Supreme Treasure.]
Just as the Fate Demon God finished speaking, the system's voice suddenly rang in Ling Xiao's mind.
The choice was triggered imperceptibly.
"System, I refuse." Ling Xiao refused without even thinking.
Believing in the promises of the Chaos Demon God is like believing that pigs can fly.
Even a seemingly upright demon god like Yang Mei would go back on his word, which shows that this group of demon gods lacks any sense of benevolence or morality.
In an instant, the choice was made, and Ling Xiao obtained an Innate Supreme Treasure.
He stared directly at the "Hongjun" version of the Fate Demon God and said, "I won't choose either of these two options. I choose the third one: kill you all."
When it comes to making choices, Ling Xiao is the best at it.
The safest course of action is to kill the Fate Demon God and Hongjun.
Otherwise, regardless of who wins between these two, they will both be at the Heavenly Dao Realm, and killing them at that point won't be so easy.
"You're asking for it! I'll remember this, you'll regret this."
The Fate Demon God coldly threatened, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
"I've killed more than one demon god; one more won't make a difference."
Ling Xiao countered sharply, his Axe of Nature radiating an undying light, even sharper than the Pangu Banner, practically a youthful version of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.
Lush greenery, a single swing of the axe creates and destroys worlds, giving rise to endless wondrous phenomena.
"You are ignorant and arrogant! I am the most mysterious and powerful being among the three thousand demon gods. How can I be compared to those worthless demon gods?"
The Fate Demon God was furious, feeling greatly insulted that Ling Xiao had actually compared him to other gods.
Can these be compared side-by-side?
The next moment, the Fate Demon God, who had just uttered those harsh words, disappeared again, replaced by Hongjun.
As soon as Hongjun gained the upper hand, he saw a large axe fall towards his forehead.
He was immediately enraged and unleashed the supreme power of the Heavenly Dao with a wave of his hand, catching the Axe of Nature with his bare hands.
Those two enormous hands, like those of a creator, possessed incredible divine power, emanating awe-inspiring phenomena as they slapped out.
In the blink of an eye, in that instant, it seemed as if the ocean had turned into mulberry fields, and countless light-years had passed.
Even the saints were dazzled and dumbfounded, almost kneeling in awe.
Such a major event has occurred in such a short period of time.
When Dao Ancestor was advancing to the Supreme Realm, Chaos Demon God suddenly appeared, and it was the strongest one among them, the Fate Demon God.
Zhun Ti, Laozi, and the others were astonished. According to Ling Xiao, the Fate Demon God was none other than the Kunpeng of yesteryear.
What shocked them most was that the Fate Demon God seemed to be possessing the Dao Ancestor, and the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
The saints turned pale and trembled under this terrifying power.
