Chapter 266: Chapter 250 [Fate Compass, Spirit Treasure Graveyard] (Request for Subscription)
"No concern for life?"
Luo Hou’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Regarding Xuanqing’s words, he did not believe a single word.
Had it not been for his supreme Demon Path among all paths, his formidable power, coupled with his quick reactions in dispelling that abnormal power, would he not have turned into a Spirit Root already?
Becoming a Spirit Root, losing consciousness, how is that any different from falling into the calamity of self-loss in Daluo?
Moreover, Xuanqing’s Divine Skills, are either making someone pregnant or making someone’s head bloom, there’s no concern for life, but what about the risk of social death!
Social death is still death!
If other Cultivators came to know that he, Luo Hou, had become pregnant, or his head had bloomed, the image of Demon Ancestor he painstakingly built for many years would collapse in an instant!
"Heavenly Demon Transformation!"
Luo Hou, fueled by the flames of rage within his heart, ferociously attacked Xuanqing. Ten thousand demonic shadows filled the boundless space-time, as an astonishing murderous intent exploded in an instant.
Darkness enshrouded heaven and earth, a sense of destruction permeated the void, leaving only the terrifying power of the "God Slaying Spear" and the endless light of Principles soaring through the cosmos.
"One, two, three, statue!"
Xuanqing repeated his old trick, again utilizing the Creation Great Dao, but this time he did not make Luo Hou’s head bloom; instead, he rendered his body momentarily stiff. A flash of divine light passed, and the myriad demonic shadows froze in the void.
He did not use "Instant Blossoming," also for fear that Luo Hou would discover him secretly stealing his Principles and would fight him with all his might.
"Refining Dao Furnace, emerge!"
Xuanqing shouted loudly, and a boundless Refining Dao True Intent swept across the void from the auspicious clouds above his head, transforming into a Great Dao treasure vase that devoured all of Luo Hou’s demonic shadows.
"How could this happen?"
Luo Hou broke free from his restraints, his black hair disheveled, his anger uncontrollable. The Great Dao spanned the void, directly summoning the three great demon bodies of greed, anger, and ignorance aiming for a four against one.
The incarnation of greed evolved into an Infinite Black Hole, the body of anger helmed towering Demon Fire, and the body of ignorance unleashed a "Destruction Divine Thunder" in a blink.
As for Luo Hou himself, he operated the "God Slaying Spear" while hiding behind the three great demon bodies.
These three demon bodies all boasted strengths comparable to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals. Their aura shook the Chaos Void, and together they possessed the power to annihilate all heavens.
"Purple Lightning Hammer!"
"Immortal Slaying Gourd!"
"Netherworld Geomancy Map!"
Xuanqing did not dare to be careless, prompting various colored Spiritual Treasures to strike at the three great demon bodies. He understood the feeling of facing Taiching, the venerable elder.
He too had comprehended "One Qi Becomes The Three Pure Ones" and realized the true intent of "Equal to the Way and Heaven," but it was not enough to evolve into the combat power of three saints.
Thus, he could only defend passively.
However, with the power of fate on his side, the Divine Skills of Luo Hou’s three demon bodies could not harm him.
"Slaying Gods, Exterminating Immortals!"
Luo Hou, however, was constantly seeking for Xuanqing’s weaknesses, knowing that Xuanqing possessed the power of fate, ordinary means simply could not touch him.
But the guidance of the power of fate also had its limits; if he could destroy the timeline faster than Xuanqing could weave fate, he could overpower and forcefully break Xuanqing’s power of fate.
Just like Pangu had done before.
No matter how much fate you weave, as long as my power is strong enough, everything can be turned into nothing in an instant, and thousands of fates will collapse into one.
The three great demon bodies led the front just to give Luo Hou’s true self an opportunity to find Xuanqing’s flaws.
Boom!
The void violently trembled, the shadows of the "God Slaying Spear" seemed to penetrate through the ages, with past, present, and future fates overlapping at this moment.
"Kill!"
Magnificent killing power penetrated through ancient and modern times, countless timelines collapsed, thousands of cause and effects were shattered, and endless fates turned into bubbles in a flash.
Clearly, facing the combat power of four saints, Xuanqing was no longer able to weave fate in time!
"Cosmic Light Bell!"
But Xuanqing was not without other means; right when the "God Slaying Spear" was about to strike him, the boundless universe of dust suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Seven Treasures Skill!"
Taking advantage of the universe of dust evolved from the "Cosmic Light Bell" blocking the edge of the "God Slaying Spear," Xuanqing immediately triggered his Divine Skills, furiously striking at Luo Hou.
Seven-colored divine light sliced through time and space, trembling the universe, forcibly repelling Luo Hou’s body.
While Xuanqing himself took this opportunity to distance himself from the three great demon bodies.
"That should be enough!"
Xuanqing looked at Luo Hou’s true self and smiled.
He only intended to use the opportunity of sparring with Luo Hou to free-ride the mysteries of his Demon Path. Now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally did not want to continue fighting to the death with Luo Hou.
It was not that he was afraid of Luo Hou, as he still had the "Chaos Bell" and "Execution Saint Sword Formation" that he hadn’t used yet. But he also didn’t want to reveal them just yet.
These two methods were prepared for the one at Purple Cloud Palace; he didn’t intend to use them against Luo Hou.
Otherwise, once the "Execution Saint Sword Formation" is deployed, Luo Hou and his three great Demon Bodies, despite possessing overwhelming powers, will instantly be trapped within the sword array.
"What a pity!"
Hearing this, Luo Hou immediately laughed and said, "I was looking forward to seeing what hidden methods you have, Daoist!"
He could feel that Xuanqing still had reserved strength. In this great battle, he currently had the advantage, but if he pushed Xuanqing to desperation and made him use his last resort, the final outcome would still be uncertain.
Suddenly, an idea struck Luo Hou, and looking at the "Refining Dao Furnace" above Xuanqing’s head, he smiled and said, "I wonder, Daoist, whether you still wish to retrieve your Fate Compass?"
Xuanqing was startled and quickly inquired, "Daoist, do you know the whereabouts of the Fate Compass?"
This "Fate Compass" was his Companion Spirit Treasure when he was the Fate Demon God. If he could retrieve it, his strength would increase substantially.
His previous form was one of the most supreme Chaos Demon Gods. Though he didn’t possess a Chaos Treasure, his Companion Spirit Treasure was a Top Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.
However, ever since he was cleaved by an axe by Pangu, his Companion Spirit Treasure, along with his True Spirit’s reincarnation, completely vanished without a trace!
He himself had no sense of it; could Luo Hou really know the whereabouts of the "Fate Compass"?
"It’s just a guess!"
Luo Hou laughed and said, "In fact, I deduced this based on the memories of several Greedy Demon Gods. Unlike us, their physical bodies were annihilated but their True Spirits were unharmed after the Sky Opening Cataclysm. Knowing that Pangu had fallen, they also sought opportunities within Chaos!"
"They found a Chaos Origin Sea surrounded by hundreds of Chaotic Universes, scattered with Spirit Treasure Fragments left from the Sky Opening Cataclysm!"
"That place is full of endless lethal dangers, even they dared not venture too deep and only retrieved their Companion Spirit Treasures from the periphery!"
"If I’m not mistaken, that place was turned into a Spirit Treasure Graveyard by Pangu!"
Regarding the power of the Greedy ones, he was quite aware that fighting alone he might not match them, but if the three joined forces, even he wouldn’t be able to overcome them quickly.
Considering how dangerous they found it, venturing there probably wouldn’t end well for him.
Therefore, he had thought of finding some helpers!
He intended to go there to retrieve his own Companion Spirit Treasure, the "Destructive World Mill." With this treasure, no one could stop his plan to counter-refine Primordial.
"Chaos Origin Sea?"
Xuanqing was startled, then deeply moved, recalling the Chaos Origin Sea he witnessed when he enlightened his true self via the "Earth-breaking Chisel."
He projected the scene he saw: "Is this the place you’re talking about?"
"Exactly!"
Luo Hou immediately showed a delighted expression: "Yes, that’s the place. Do you want to go with me, Daoist?"
"I’d better not."
Xuanqing looked disheartened: "To be honest! That place, I believe, is related to Pangu’s backup plan. I once created a Heavenly Dao Treasure called Earth-breaking Chisel from Buzhou Mountain, which has power against Earth Dao! But recently, under an unseen pull, it flew towards that Chaos Origin Sea!"
"If I’m not wrong in my calculation, that Chaos Origin Sea is where Pangu’s Transformation took place!"
"Therefore, unless Daoist has the ability to fight Pangu for hundreds of rounds, I advise you not to target that Chaos Origin Sea!"
If that place really is Pangu’s backup return site, going there rashly might encounter Pangu’s lingering mark.
Just Pangu’s remaining mark, with a third of his original strength, coupled with other precautions, it would not be something he and Luo Hou could handle.
Losing the Companion Spirit Treasure would not be a big loss.
Anyway...
He has now re-asserted his Dao and already possesses the "Refining Dao Furnace," a treasure of attesting Dao!
"This..."
Luo Hou frowned upon hearing this. He was merely speculating based on the memories of several Greedy Demon Gods that their Companion Spirit Treasures might be there, but he could not be completely sure of his guess.
If they rashly went there, not only might he not retrieve the "Destructive World Mill," but he might also receive a few more axe strikes from Pangu, which he certainly did not want to see.
However, Xuanqing’s words greatly alarmed him; if Pangu truly returned from that place, could they handle him with their current strength?
"Thank you for the reminder, Daoist!"
Luo Hou spoke slowly, unwilling in his heart, but did not mention going to the Chaos Origin Sea again.
That place really is deep waters!
After a brief conversation with Luo Hou, Xuanqing turned into a rainbow light and left, preparing to refine the Spirit Fruit condensed by Luo Hou’s Dao.
Soon, he returned to the Undying Volcano, manifesting Infinite Refining Dao True Intent: "This Luo Hou, he probably still has some methods he hasn’t used, his Demon Path contains more than twelve hundred kinds of Innate Great Dao!"
Even with Immortal Dao suppressing it, beings cultivating the Demon Path are as numerous as stars, and their insights constantly strengthen the Demonic Origin.
Moreover, Luo Hou, being a Heavenly Dao Saint, can utilize the power of Heavenly Dao to comprehend many Great Dao within Primordial, even if these years he was suppressed by Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, it did not affect his comprehension of various Great Dao in the Heavenly Dao Prison.
Thinking of this, Xuanqing sighed: "Luo Hou has comprehended so many kinds of Innate Great Dao; Hong Jun, who is united with Heavenly Dao, holds the Creation Jade Disc recording the Three Thousand Great Dao. Although incomplete, conservatively estimated, he probably has comprehended at least two thousand kinds of Great Dao!"
He was certain about this.
He had seen Hong Jun’s "Creation Jade Disc"; although it lacked a piece, it was still a Chaos Spirit Treasure, and it recorded at least two thousand kinds of Great Dao.
Hong Jun’s current strength was definitely above both him and Luo Hou.
Absolutely not to be underestimated!
