The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 782 - 325: Life and Death Uncertain

"Slash!"

With a loud shout, Li Qingming swung down his gripping right hand as if it were a clenched fist.

"Witch!"

Pangu’s True Body’s pupils suddenly burst open, holding the axe handle tightly, without any hesitation, cleaving towards those twelve Chaotic Demon Gods.

"Boom crackle crackle"

Thunderous shock in the void, the giant blade made contact with the fabric of space, causing this vast expanse to manifest a distorted state, followed by an immediate black crack tearing open in the void, endless Chaos Qi rushed in through the gap, and the stars from beyond the realm shot down brilliant beams of light through the crack!

"Boom!"

The giant axe trembled violently, tearing through the void, pale yellow ripples, sweeping over the bodies of the twelve Chaotic Demon Gods like a gale.

"Clang clang~~~"

Two loud noises rang out, and all twelve Chaotic Demon Gods turned into illusory shadows, and two pitch-black broken swords fell from the Heavenly Vault, shattering into pieces as they touched the ground.

"Sputter!"

The Old Taoist violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the blood was deep red with golden rule fluctuations, punching a fist-sized black hole through the void, deep and terrifying.

Li Qingming, in the distant sky, was also not faring well. By using the Twelve Ancestor Witch God Evil Formation alone, his demonstrated strength had already surpassed the Heavenly Dao Realm; the True Yuan and Power of Primordial Spirit he spent were incalculable, naturally causing substantial damage to himself.

At this moment, his disheveled hair draped over his shoulders, his complexion pale. If not for his strong will to survive, he would have probably fallen from the Heavenly Vault by now.

"Cough, cough..." The Old Taoist coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, looked at Pangu’s True Body in the distance, and said, "Youngster, I didn’t expect you could exhibit one-tenth the power of Pangu! Originally, I wanted to keep you by my side as a child to tend the fire. Now it seems, that idea is akin to nurturing a tiger. Since that is the case, I shall send you on your way!"

With these words, the Old Taoist laughed sinisterly, a tremendously evil aura spreading from his body, surging like a tidal wave in all directions.

The entire Heavenly Vault above, that enormous space crack once again tore open, with monstrous Demonic Qi surging wildly, bursting from the large fissure, swirling around the Old Taoist.

"Bring me the blade!" The Old Taoist’s voice became piercingly cold, he calmly extended his right hand and uttered a sharp command.

"Whoosh!"

From the abyss beyond the endless fissures, a blood-red long knife descended from the sky, with Tao Runes engraved on the slender handle, thin as cicada wings, the bodies of the Ancient Fierce Beasts on the blade faintly visible, their roars seemed to echo through the blade, as if they could shatter the Firmament and cleave Heaven and Earth.

Li Qingming’s complexion drastically changed as he pointed at the distant Old Taoist and yelled in shock, "Impossible, you are... you are..."

"Hehe, you know who the Old Taoist is? But it’s too late, take your Pangu’s True Body with you on the way!" The Old Taoist cackled eerily, without any further explanation, he raised the blood-red Demon Blade in his hand and fiercely slashed down towards Pangu’s True Body and Li Qingming.

"Roar~~ Roar~~"

The long knife lit up with a burst of Blood Radiance, Chaotic Demon God shadows, along with the swing of the blade, solidified into form, attacking Pangu’s True Body as soon as they emerged from the blade.

They simultaneously unleashed Lifebound Rules Forbidden Techniques, breaking space into nothingness, transforming into infinite Power of Destruction, creating a massive storm of rules, heading straight for Pangu’s True Body.

"Boom rumble!"

The Heavenly Vault thundered instantly, turning into a collapsing twist of shattering, as the Infinite Stars beyond the realm were affected by the attacks of these Chaotic Demon God shadows, obliterated into dust without a trace of resistance, the massive Meteorite Belts were unable to react in time, struck by the explosion of stars, vanishing into nonexistence.

Li Qingming’s pupils contracted, the ancient Big Cauldron on top of his head flickering with Qing radiance, the worlds within it slowly began to evolve.

Mountains, Heavenly Vault, oceans, Barbaric Beasts, Demon Gods... everything came to life, stepping out of the world within the cauldron, joining Pangu’s True Body in their attack on those Chaotic Demon Gods.

The two sides collided instantly in the unseen, a deafening explosion immediately spread earth-shatteringly in all directions.

Under the continuous breaking of Heaven and Earth, the rule powers protecting Li Qingming and the Old Taoist instantly swept across like raging waves, both were lifted high into the sky.

As for the myriad Barbaric Beasts, Immortal Gods from the world within the cauldron, and the Old Taoist’s ten-directional Chaotic Demon Gods, the battle was exceedingly brutal. These illusory shadows let out piercing screams, their bodies and flesh, formed by rule powers and Spiritual Energy, were torn apart in mutual combat, and most of them turned to ashes in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

Piercing screams, filled with almost madness, echoed from the fierce battlefield!

The conquest continued, the attacks from both parties converged into a storm of rules, breaking the Endless Void.

The Fusang Divine Wood began to fracture from the top down, and as all the forces belonging to Li Qingming on the battlefield - Immortal Gods, Barbaric Beasts... including Pangu’s True Body - all perished, with only a few Low-level Chaotic Demon Gods of the Old Taoist barely clinging on to life, the Fusang Divine Wood finally collapsed completely, turning into the purest Flame of Fire Element Rules, burning everything on the battlefield.

Li Qingming, continuously coughing up blood in the high-altitude storm, his face showed neither joy nor sorrow, with no discernable expression. Meanwhile, the Old Taoist opposite him had a face full of shock and horror.

"Being forced into such a dire situation is already the second time in three Yanji! To thank you, Old Tao will now send you on your way!" The Old Taoist was terrified, deciding to directly resort to a Forbidden Technique. Even if this incarnation, this part of the Primordial Spirit perishes, he would not allow Li Qingming to continue to exist. His potential was simply too great; if he was allowed to continue to grow, there would be no way for him to survive in the future.

"The Great Dao Judgment!"

The Old Taoist’s expression was solemn, his hands forming Mysterious Seal Techniques. With a flick of his sleeve, he created a storm of shattered nothingness, which then reversed to become a pitch-black ink-like black lightning, approaching in a flash, striking towards Li Qingming in the distant void. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Boom!"

The mighty cracks gushed with star rivers, while endless stars from beyond flooded in like a massive ocean, tumultuous and surging. Rules and Spiritual Energy from all directions interwove, traversing past, present, and future, as if the Great Dao raged, thundering across the starry sky with a single thunderous roar!

Under the enormous pressure of the Great Dao, the Golden Crow Holy Star cracked piece by piece, and the endless cosmic space became the battlefield for Li Qingming and the Old Taoist. Chaos exploded, trembling the star universe, and within the vast Starfield, that dark and shining thunder seemed to become eternal amidst Heaven and Earth.

"Break!"

Li Qingming bellowed, his voice vast, shattering the surrounding stars. With a forceful swipe of his right hand towards his forehead, a soft "pfft" was heard as the Eye of Heavenly Punishment suddenly opened. A grayish-brown thunder, thin as a pinky, shot out like a darting fish, meeting the black thunder head-on.

"Crack!"

The clash of black and gray thunder stalemated in the cosmic starry sky, electric arcs crackling wildly, fracturing the starry sky into a series of minute Crystal Wall cracks.

"Trickle!"

Li Qingming’s body radiated dazzling treasure light, as golden Tao Runes surged forth.

Despite this, because he had used his ultimate strength, his body still exhibited hair-thin cracks, and crimson blood oozed out like trickles.

"The Eye of Heavenly Punishment!" The Old Taoist in the distance saw the streak of grayish-brown lightning, his complexion turning extremely ashen, "Despite my high estimation of him, I didn’t expect he had such a trick up his sleeve! It seems that I must abandon this incarnation!"

The Old Taoist cursed bitterly twice, his body suddenly exploded, surging with infinite Black Demonic Energy that poured into the long river of Tao Rules swirling around him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The long river began to churn violently, with streams of black Demonic Qi carrying endless Rule Power, feeding straight into the black lightning.

"Boom crackle!"

Empowered by this Rule Power, the black lightning compressed completely, becoming as thin as a hair.

It roared madly, like a parasite, burrowing into the gray lightning. Inside the pinky-thick gray thunder, the black lightning wreaked havoc like a fish in water, eventually even starting to devour the gray lightning.

Finally, the gray thunder was consumed entirely by the black thunder. It opened its fangs in midair, like an enraged lion, rushing headlong towards Li Qingming.

At this moment, Li Qingming lacked any strength to resist. He could only watch helplessly as the thunder descended upon him.

"Whoosh!"

Just at that moment, the starry sky Crystal Wall, already riddled with holes from the lightning’s might, burst open with a rumble, revealing a gap over a person’s height tall. Beyond that crack was endless darkness, filled with terrifying thunders, each far more formidable than the black thunder.

Endless suction came from the crack, frightfully overwhelming, dragging both Li Qingming and the black thunder into its depth.

The black thunder destined for Li Qingming began to struggle wildly. Suddenly, a brilliant Pure Golden light flew out of the thunder, escaping the grasp of the crack’s suction.

The lightning, caught within the suction’s power, ultimately smashed into Li Qingming’s top of the skull. Li Qingming, rendered unconscious by the lightning’s strike, was also swallowed by the crack.

Moments later, the crack closed, and all returned to calm!

From behind a large star, the Old Taoist’s form slowly emerged, shining with golden light, as he watched the empty cosmic starry sky and whispered, "It seems that the junior has perished! He had it coming to him, journeying the Path to Heaven and even bringing along his own Primordial Spirit. Truly, the Great Dao is with me!"

Glancing at his illusory body, the Old Tao mused to himself, "Hmm, out of the tenth of Primordial Spirit, only a ten-thousandth remains. It will take another Calamity’s time to recover. Quite troublesome indeed!"

"Whoosh!"

Just at that moment, a Pure Golden brilliance pierced through the Void, escaping into the distance. Through the light and shadow, one could vaguely discern that it was a Three-legged Golden Crow with black feathers around its neck.

"Oh? A suitable body has come right to me," exclaimed the Old Taoist in delight, zipping into the body with a swoosh.

Jin Hang, who was speeding through his flight, suddenly shuddered, followed by an old voice that said, "Hehe, your name is Jin Hang, right? This body is quite good, let Old Tao have it!"

"You are, you are that... Ah!!" Before Jin Hang could finish his cry, his voice abruptly stopped.

The stunning Golden Crow bird flapped its wings, a flash of Blood Radiance in its eyes, and murmured, "It’s time to hasten their pace!" (To be continued.
