Kill, Kill, Kill! You All Deserved to Die

"Hahahaha, I finally got out! This Pure Water Alms Bowl suppressed me for tens of thousands of kalpas. At last, it was my turn to emerge!"

The great fiend beneath the ground laughed wildly as it spoke.

Li Zhengyuan took one look and thought, I'm finished! Treasure hunting was treasure hunting, but how had he provoked such a terrifying fiend? Upon careful sensing, he discovered that the monstrous creature radiated a ferocious aura. Its qi was in utter disorder, its killing intent surged skyward, and the karmic burden upon it was so heavy it had nearly condensed into black clouds.

He braced himself and stepped forward. "What monster lies below?"

"Little brat, I am no monster. I am an Innate Divinity!"

Li Zhengyuan was so angered he laughed. What Innate being grew into such a thing? The thick karmic burden above its head and the overwhelming killing intent made it obvious at a glance that it was some sort of Ferocious Beast. He took the Earth Book he had concealed above his head into his hand, instantly setting up a formation as he cursed, "You vile devil, how dare you deceive me! Do you think my sword is not sharp enough?"

"Hahahaha, little brat, you are merely Innate and know nothing of the heavenly workings. As the Dao of Heaven turns, where there is good, there is evil. I am an Innate Divinity formed from the Chaos Fiendgod of Evil." The creature seemed to know what Li Zhengyuan was thinking.

Li Zhengyuan found that reasonable; it carried some hint of the Dao. Yet he had never heard of such an Innate Divinity among those transformed from Chaos Fiendgods. Besides, Innate Divinities transformed from Chaos Fiendgods were generally of the same generation as Hongjun. Why, then, had this one been trapped below and bound by iron chains?

The creature seemed to hear his thoughts and roared, "If not for that old thief Hongjun, how would I have ended up like this?"

Li Zhengyuan sucked in a breath and no longer dared to think carelessly. This monster could actually hear people's thoughts—how strange. He kept calculating with his fingers, and the heavenly secrets became clear. This creature was Hun'e, indeed transformed from the Chaos Fiendgod of Evil. However, it had formed from a severed finger left behind after that fiendgod's death, fused with baleful qi. From the moment it was born, it pointed at Heaven and cursed the earth, cursed the Father God, slaughtered living beings, and destroyed the earthly membrane. This enraged the Dao of Heaven, which sent down the Thunder Calamity. The creature barely withstood it using a spirit treasure, exchanging the calamity for grievous injuries across its body. Then the Dao of Heaven sent down the Human Calamity, allowing Hongjun Daoist to encounter it. Hongjun Daoist used the Pure Water Alms Bowl to suppress it here, then bound its limbs and soul with divine iron chains. At the slightest struggle, earth lightning would strike it down without cease, day and night. Hongjun Daoist had bound it for its own good. The Pure Water Alms Bowl was a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure capable of producing Immaculate Pure Water, which could remove evil qi and killing intent and calm karmic burden. He had used it to guide and reform Hun'e, hoping it would mend its ways and attain enlightenment soon.

But Hun'e did not appreciate the kindness shown to it, like a dog biting Lü Dongbin. Day and night, it nursed its resentment without end, cursing the Dao of Heaven and cursing Hongjun, swearing that once it emerged, it would kill, kill, kill—destroy Heaven and earth and damage the Dao of Heaven.

Today, the Dao of Heaven was aware, and thus it had used Li Zhengyuan's hand to eliminate this creature and set the heavenly will right.

Only then did Li Zhengyuan understand. "That's right. It is time to kill him."

He stepped forward, brandished his sword, and cursed, "Hun'e, you do not understand the heavenly workings. Back then, Hongjun Daoist sealed you here and used Immaculate Pure Water to purify you day and night, hoping you would turn toward good and embrace the righteous path. Yet you remained ignorant, devoting yourself to resentment and cursing the Dao of Heaven. Today is your day of death!"

As he spoke, the treasured sword in his hand swung without pause, sword light flashing. The Earth Book flew before him and shifted into a new formation, beginning to refine the demon. The creature's limbs were bound by iron chains forged from divine iron, leaving it only its fleshly body to rely upon. It spewed foul qi from its mouth, defiling Heaven and earth.

Li Zhengyuan poured in more of his mana, determined to eliminate this demon today. His hand seals changed continuously as he muttered incantations. The Earth Book's might grew even greater, refining the demon until it screamed miserably.

The Treasure-Seeking Rat beside them did not dare move. Leaving was not an option, nor was staying. This young master looked young, but his methods were formidable. It dared not provoke the old demon, nor did it dare provoke this Daoist. I'd better wait quietly and see what this young master plans. It wouldn't be impossible to step forward and lend a hand when needed.

"Ah, the Dao of Heaven is unjust! The Dao of Heaven is unjust! Back then, you failed to kill me with the Thunder Calamity, yet you not only struck my Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Lost Soul Bell, down in rank, but also blasted me half to death.

Then you sent that old Daoist Hongjun to subdue me. I refused to yield, so he suppressed me, leaving me to suffer day and night. At the slightest struggle, I would be struck by lightning.

And now, you have once again used this Daoist's hand to put me to death. Do you know that the Dao of Heaven cherishes life?"
