The First Demon of the Chan Sect
Chapter 407 - 95: My Heart Belongs to You

Chapter 407: Chapter 95: My Heart Belongs to You

Under the blazing sun, all living beings were dumbfounded as they watched Li Qianqiu bowing in salute. Even Red Silk covered her mouth in surprise, unable to grasp the situation.

Li Qingming slightly smiled, stepped forward and lifted Li Qianqiu up, saying, "Xiao Er, Luo Hou is still within your Primordial Spirit Sea. If you desire to completely eradicate it, I’m afraid it will still require you to reincarnate."

"Big brother, Luo Hou first tempted Qianqiu’s body and then wished to destroy the land of Hua Xia. Since the cause originated from Qianqiu, naturally I should bear the bitter fruit. Let alone reincarnation, even if it means shattering my body into pieces, Xiao Er is willing to do so," said Li Qianqiu. Oh, no! It should be said to be Li Qingquan, his eyes filled with firm determination, his face chiseled as if carved with a knife and an axe, yet bearing a faint smile.

Li Qingming patted Li Qianqiu’s shoulder, unconcerned by the rich demonic qi emanating from his body, and said, "Xiao Er, it might be a thousand years before we meet again. You must prove yourself worthy of The Three Pure Ones and our Chan Sect lineage!"

"Xiao Er has already failed once, there’s no reason to fail again!" Li Qingquan nodded affirmatively, saying, "Please be assured, big brother, Xiao Er—Pfft!"

Li Qingquan’s words were cut off as his body suddenly trembled violently, with the trembling intensifying over time.

A mouthful of stinking blood rushed up his throat and spewed out violently.

"Damn this cursed Luo the Demon!" Li Qingming was extremely irate, the lightning mark on his brow flickered frantically.

"Big brother, hold off!" Li Qingquan wiped the blood from his mouth, forcibly stimulated the Vitality Power inside his body, and suppressed the strange tremors. He continued to say:

"Big brother, in this life I haven’t killed a single person from the Human Clan, but countless humans were killed on my command by my subordinates. Thus, I feel guilt towards the Human Clan! This time, by allowing Luo Hou into Huaxia Land, it resulted in heavy casualties among those from the Human Clan’s Tributor Pavilion and many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Thus, I feel guilt towards the Hao Tian Heavenly Venerate! Many from the Demon Race were enslaved by me through Secret Techniques. Thus, I feel guilt towards my Demon Race brethren! In this life, my death is inconsequential. It’s better to fade away with Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and at least provide an explanation to all forces involved."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingming was greatly shocked; he had never expected Li Qingquan to have such profound enlightenment! He understood in his heart that this was Li Qingquan’s final soliloquy. With this event concluded, another reincarnation was imminent, not only would his cultivation be gone, but the endless trials of becoming the Human Emperor would be intensively augmented.

"Bang!"

Heaven-reaching demonic power surged, thousands of demonic qi coalesced into terrifying black skulls, shuttling and howling in the Void, horrifyingly sinister.

"I refuse to accept this, old ancestor, I, who was cultivated by the Great Dao and found the Xuanhuang Qi, the Origin of All Realms. You, Hong Jun, you, Li Qingming, what right do you have to fight against me, I who represent the Outer Heavenly Dao, and the progenitor of the Demon Path, will soon reach the status of Supreme Saint Venerate, and you all will perish!" Wrapped in rolling demonic qi, Li Qingquan’s face and cheekbones brightened with more dazzling Demon Patterns as he laboriously moved his feet, swung his hand and all the countless skulls in the Void attacked Li Qingming.

"Damn it!" Suddenly, Li Qingquan’s expression turned, he roared in a low voice. A rich force of Vitality Power, centered in Li Qingming’s right eye, began to spread across his body.

At this moment, his entire body displayed two colors: the left half as dark as ink, and the right half verdantly vibrant. Two different colored Rule Powers within Li Qingquan’s body held their ground against each other, unwilling to yield.

"Bang!"

Li Qingming’s expression tensed, the purple long spear in his hand transformed, turning into a mysterious purple bamboo. Brushing lightly against the Void, it cleansed circles of purple halo. All the attacking skulls, upon encountering the purple halo, turned into dust and dissolved into the Void.

Then, he stood in mid-air, his hand continuously forming Seal Techniques, as if nurturing something.

"Luo Hou, you recklessly broke the Heavenly Dao, disregarding billions of lives! Better to just scatter your soul and spirit!" Li Qingquan’s expression was cold, the pitch-black demonic qi and extremely verdant Vitality Power collided in the Void, creating an immensely loud noise.

Li Qingquan’s expression turned fierce again; his eyes filled with endless chill and blood red, full of unwillingness. Emitting Divine Sense fluctuations, he roared, "Li Qianqiu, think carefully. Even if I, the old ancestor, scatter my soul and spirit, your cultivation will be gone, and you’ll have to reincarnate anew! If you agree to let me retreat into hiding, when the day comes for me to achieve the status of Supreme Saint, I will ensure you ascend to a revered position within the Hua Xia Heavenly Dao!"

Inside Li Qingquan, Luo Hou shouted and howled, causing Li Qingquan’s mind to become muddled, his forehead’s Demon Patterns became even clearer, making his entire being lose human appearance, the Heavenly Spirit above radiated Black Light, casting an incredibly pitch blackness onto the Cangqiong.

"Luo Hou, have a good journey!"

Suddenly, Li Qingming’s movements abruptly stopped, he let out a loud shout, startling all the beings present.

He flicked his finger slightly toward Li Qingquan, the rich purple Vitality Power dispersed, emitting points of Immortal Light, dispelling the Black Light, his left palm’s Five-colored Divine Light shimmered, an immense Five-colored Divine Light burst forth, intending to forcibly extract Luo Hou.

This was Li Qingming making his final effort, he wanted Li Qingquan to retain his cultivation at all costs.

"Luo Hou, now that three revered predecessors have arrived on the battlefield, you stand no chance of seizing Huaxia Land. Moreover, those Outer Heaven Demons who fled to Huaxia Land are all dead. Rather than making these futile resistances, better to release yourself sooner." Li Qingming recited from the Taoist Canon, attempting to refine Luo Hou, at least he needed to extract Luo Hou from Li Qingquan’s Primordial Spirit Sea.

"I am the future Supreme Saint, I am immortal!... Li Qingming, old ancestor, I’m not finished with you!" A beast-like roar burst from Li Qingquan’s mouth, shaking the Cangqiong into cracking apart.

Li Qingming showed no fear, constantly reciting the Taoist Canon. All he wanted was to take advantage of Luo Hou’s unstable state of mind and expel this plague-like Luo the Demon from his brother’s Primordial Spirit Sea. Whatever Xuanhuang Qi, whatever Origin of All Realms, all were mere trivialities.

Luo Hou had not expected that Li Qingquan was actually the reincarnation of a Great Power, whose soul suddenly awakened at this moment, dispelling much of the Buddha’s demon-suppressing power. Otherwise, this body would have long been under Luo Hou’s control, and it would not have come to this.

Li Qingming’s left hand held the Five-Colored Divine Stone, which emitted an increasingly brilliant and dense Infinite Light. The black mist enveloping Li Qingquan’s left side burst apart, continuously melting away with a hissing sound.

Li Qingquan’s body trembled violently, the green Vitality Power within the right half of his body boiling like boiling water, churning violently with a "gurgle, gurgle" sound.

"Ah!" Li Qingquan suddenly let out a loud cry, as the situation took a sudden turn.

"Bang"

Li Qingming watched in shock as Li Qingquan’s forehead hit the Five-Colored Divine Stone. The fist-sized Divine Stone suddenly shrank to the size of a fingernail, bursting with a Seven-colored Light, directly passing through Li Qingquan’s brow.

"Pfft!"

Right at the center of Li Qingquan’s forehead, a point of crimson flashed and disappeared. The Five-Colored Divine Stone, emitting Seven-colored Light, turned extremely dark. Wrapped around the stone was a sinister mass of black mist, emitting an endless devilish aura.

Li Qingquan’s body slid powerlessly to the ground, his lush Vitality Power disappearing in an instant.

"Xiao Er!" Li Qingming cried out in alarm, disregarding the Five-Colored Divine Stone darting chaotically in the void, and hastily supported Li Qingquan.

"Cough, Big... Big Brother!" Li Qianqiu, still slightly conscious, coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, smiling at Li Qingming, "Xiao... Xiao Er in this life... cough... has failed the Human Clan... failed the Demon Race... failed our mother and Master... In the next life... Xiao Er will come again to amend the faults of this life..."

"Xiao Er, why are you so foolish?" Li Qingming mourned, half-supporting Li Qingquan, "Big Brother has a way to drive out Luo Hou, why did you have to sacrifice your Cultivation?"

"Hehe... Big... Big Brother... Xiao Er is guilty... guilty towards Hua Xia... With all my Cultivation... what use is it?" Li Qingquan’s eyes welled with tears, his breath becoming faint.

"Qianqiu, Qianqiu..." At this moment, Red Silk, already in tears, desperately looked at Li Qingquan’s pale face, saying, "Qianqiu, you must hold on! I will go beg the Master, beg the Grandmaster. He will surely grant an immortal elixir to save you!"

Li Qingming laboriously reached out to Red Silk, who grabbed his hand and placed it on her pretty face, letting him feel her lingering warmth.

"Silly, silly girl..." Perhaps it was a final surge of clarity before death, Li Qianqiu’s words becoming more coherent, "In this life, Qianqiu has failed you! If you believe in Qianqiu, in the next life I will surely take you as my wife into the Li Family!"

"My heart is already yours; even if spurned, I have no regrets!" Tears streamed down Red Silk’s face, a boundless sorrow filling the entire Yin Yang Realm.

"Hehe... This life’s reincarnation is only for your return smile in the next life!" Li Qingquan laughed heartily towards the sky, suddenly his face flushing with blood.

"Qianqiu... Qianqiu..."

"Whoosh!"

A streak of azure light mixed with a hint of golden True Spirit sped towards the Netherworld.

Li Qianqiu’s departure was desolate, Li Qingquan’s was tragic. Together, they obtained the most precious thing.

Nobody noticed that standing behind Fu Xi, Lingchen suddenly revealed a bitter smile.

Li Qingming, his face ashen, stood up. Although he had long known that Li Qingquan was to undergo a second life of reincarnation, when the moment arrived, an indescribable fury surged within him, desperate to be unleashed.

"Ah!"

He bellowed in rage, his unmatched aura causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to wildly whirl, his terrifying pressure making all living beings on the battlefield tremble in fear.

After a moment, Li Qingming stared fiercely at the Five-Colored Divine Stone darting around in mid-air, his features distorted with rage, he pronounced word by word:

"Luo Hou, I will make your soul scatter!"
