Longevity Chronicles

At most, he could resist for a mere moment longer, and then the Daoist would be devoured alive.

Thus, at this time, Tang Xianzong still had the composure to speak, only his voice was filled with resentment, the ultimate form of hatred.

"No matter who you are, no matter how much Yin Susu dotes on you."

"I must eat you alive, and I will extract your soul to torment it for a hundred years, a thousand years."

Hearing these words, Tao Qian shook his head and sighed.

"Mr. Tang Daoist has come to such a state, yet still does not dare to speak disrespectfully about Yin Susu; you must be fearing the Devil God."

"Fearing that Yin Susu's father will reclaim the mighty power you possess now, that's why you're holding back so uncomfortably."

"What your father thinks, I will not comment on."

"However, he thinks that you should not join the Devil God Army, and he is right about that."

"When I came here, Yin Susu once asked me to tell you…"

Tao Qian's last sentence perked Tang Xianzong's ears.

Even though he knew it would not be anything pleasant, he still held onto hope, thinking he might catch a flaw in the words, or perhaps this fellow wasn't brought by Yin Susu to replace his role as her favored male courtesan.

But what he heard instead sealed his fate.

The Daoist, with hands behind his back, flew forward, and just as he was about to continue speaking, he seized the moment when Tang was intently listening.

Suddenly, he stretched out both hands, firmly grasping an object and evaporating the Taiyin Pond Water covering it.

Subsequently, an extremely sinister and shocking burst of blood light shot to the heavens with a "boom", and at that instant, the terrifying murmurs of the Devil God, louder than ever before, echoed for tens of thousands of miles around.

In an instant, countless people mutated into madness due to this anomaly.

A few nearby Great Demons, upon having their devil bodies touched by the blood light that pierced the sky, screamed in agonizing pain.

Before their very eyes, their devil bodies, forged over many years and believed to be indestructible, were being eroded into powder.

During this astonishing upheaval, everyone saw that the object was a long crimson rod, blunt at one end and pointed at the other.

Once its restraints were removed, it expanded in the wind.

In an instant, it had become like a towering crimson pillar, gripped tightly by Tao Qian as he inserted it into Tang Xianzong's dark rift that seemed to swallow the heavens and the earth.

As the blood pillar penetrated it, Tang Xianzong let out an unprecedented howl of pain.

At that moment, Tao Qian's voice, infused with a hint of satisfaction, also resonated across the battlefield.

"This object is called the 'Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Needle', also taken from the Bottom of the Taiyin Pool, specifically designed to counter your Exotic Treasure: the Heavenly Demon Blood Bag sacred robe."

"No matter how powerful you are, as long as your strength is borrowed from the Devil God, you will always be beneath Yin Susu."

"No!"

"Yin Susu, you treacherous witch, even if I become a ghost, I will entangle you life after life, never letting you have a moment of peace."

Accompanying Tang Xianzong's mournful howls and curses, an unforeseen earth-shattering change occurred right before their eyes.

Not long ago, he was an overlord who wished to establish a Devil Country on Earth and transmute all people into Devils, making him the supreme Devil Lord.

Now, he could no longer summon that gorgeous Devil haze and clouds, nor could he produce the Heavenly Demon Nightmare Winds.

His enormous devil body, containing the terrifying origin of the Devil God, was draining rapidly into the piercing crimson pillar.

Throughout the process, no matter how fiercely Tang Xianzong struggled and fought back, it was futile.

As soon as the Blood Transformation Divine Needle penetrated the sacred robe, all his power went out of control.

Within moments, no trace of the Devil God Dharma Form was left on the battlefield.

All that the crowd saw was a Corpse Mountain amidst a battlefield covered with Blood Lake Meat Sauce, and atop a strange altar,

Tao Qian stood silently with a grotesquely covered corpse lying before him in Scarlet Envelope.

A long crimson rod was inserted into the heart of the corpse.

The two Exotic Treasures, seemingly forming a certain balance, lay peacefully on the altar without any abnormal movement.

Has it... ended?

As the crowd wondered in amazement, whether it was on the battlefield or within Seeking Immortal City,

the World Suppressing Army soldiers and the many civilians who had been mutated into Devils by the Heavenly Demon Nightmare Technique, all began to revert to their original forms at this moment.

Moreover, a breeze from an unknown source swept through, completely dispersing the already crumbling Devil haze and Demon clouds.

As the haze dissipated, Infant Sect Master Li Shantong, who had been silent until then,

suddenly stood up and declared loudly:

"Tang Xianzong is dead, the Destiny of the Devil God Army has run out."

"Everyone, follow me in slaughtering the remaining group of demons, and restore peace to Southern Yue under the bright sky."

These few words from the leader of Southern Yue's Great Sect sounded like an acknowledgment.

As his words fell, atop the high Corpse Mountain altar, Tao Qian's body suddenly trembled.

Amidst a daze, Tao Qian seemed to see layers upon layers in the void, the many counties and cities within Southern Yue, and tens of millions of civilians all cheering, as strands of indiscernible but very real Fortune began to gather, forming in an instant a majestic tide like that of a vast ocean.

With a "boom", it surged towards the altar and towards Tao Qian's body.

Inside Tao Qian's mind, a familiar voice suddenly echoed:

"This is Human Dao Fortune; only those with merit in saving the world can obtain it."

"Although I, the monk, am not adept at scheming or planning, by painstakingly pondering and arranging, I have at last ensnared ambitious overlords like Tang Xianzong, Ji Xianxian, Qin Wuxiang, and eradicated many devils from Southern Yue along with several surrounding provinces."

"Although this still cannot make up for the threat of the shattered Ancestor God Forbidden Power, it has, for a short time, benefited billions of common people."

"To summon such an immense Human Dao Fortune is expected and rightfully mine."

Hearing this voice, Tao Qian immediately saw a Buddha Light Illusion appear before him, visible only to himself.
