The Ancestor of All Demons

Deng Yin originally intended to kill all living beings in this world, so when he started killing, he showed no mercy. After speaking, he began the slaughter.

The villagers on the demon net began to "melt" one by one, starting with the skin on their bodies turning into blood water, followed by the sinews and muscles inside, and then various internal organs...

In just ten seconds or so, more than two hundred people, old and young, completely "melted" into blood water, eventually even their bones dissolved.

The liquid formed by the flesh and blood of these people bound their souls, reforming them into humanoid shapes. Regardless of age or gender, they stretched into identical blood-colored human forms, lacking features, hair, nails, only having a head, torso, and limbs, lined up in the air.

Qi Shuming and others wanted to lure Deng Yin into the Dust Formation and then use the Golden Saber to kill him, but before they could come up with a plan, all the people in a nearby village had been brutally murdered.

Li Yingqiong witnessed this scene and, with blood-filled eyes, cursed Deng Yin, saying he deserved heavenly punishment and to have his body and soul destroyed. She angrily continued, "It's all that bastard's fault... that Shi, who released such evil demons into the world, causing chaos, and even once called this demon brother! Now with blood demons wreaking havoc in the world, he's hiding in Antarctica!"

Shi Zhu listened and was unwilling, retorting coldly, "My master was humble back then, just seeking a chance to live! It was you self-proclaimed righteous people who repeatedly troubled and hunted him down. If my master had half a chance to survive, how could he be with this evil demon? If the Xie Family holds sixty percent of the blame for this calamity, then your Emei Sect should bear forty percent! Now that many from your sect are suffering and can't ascend, it's your karma!"

Back in the day, the old man Kuzhu also participated in the "hunt" for Shi Feiyang. At that time, Shi Feiyang was shedding his skin and crossing a tribulation, and he went to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to help Zhuge Jingwo seek revenge...

The feud between Shi Feiyang and the Xie Family originated from the indiscriminate killings by the Xie Sisters, Xie Ying and Xie Lin. The enmity with the Emei Sect came from the forced attempt by Zhuge Jing to take the thousand-year-old Purple River Grass.

Recalling those days, when he fled from Dinghu Peak to the East Sea and then to the North Sea, being hunted all the way, it was truly tragic. He almost lost his life.

As the feud deepened, Shi Feiyang continuously cultivated the demonic path skills and magical treasures with significant side effects but could be quickly mastered, all to defend against these orthodox sect people.

Shi Zhu's words caused the younger generation of the Emei Sect to change their expressions, and a few with bad tempers wanted to argue with Shi Zhu.

Qi Shuming hurriedly stopped everyone, "The grievance between us and Fellow Daoist Shi was settled through the mediation of True Master Jile, and no one is allowed to bring it up again! Our task now is to work together to deal with the Blood Demon Red Corpse and find a way to save the world from this great disaster, so as not to fail the Mysterious Sect's heritage we bear!"

As he spoke, Deng Yin had already brought villagers from two other villages, melting them all into humanoid forms of blood in front of the Taiyuan Five Mansions. With a snap of his fingers, the blood began to burn, turning into a flammable substance like grease, causing the souls within to struggle and wail in agony.

From afar, it appeared as a mass of demonic flame enshrouding a humanoid shape of blood, which twisted in agony and screamed incessantly.

Qi Shuming dared not delay, launching into action with all his might, prepared to fight Deng Yin to the death with their five forces!

They knew that, to achieve his goal of a demonized world, Deng Yin would continuously kill, whether at Emei Mountain or elsewhere; the only option for the Emei Sect was to eliminate him completely, with no other path forward!

As Qi Shuming made his way out, he assigned tasks, opening the doors of the Immortal Mansion, allowing the immortals to control their swords and pour out one after another.

"Deng Yin! You've gone too far!" Xuan Zhenzi pointed at Deng Yin, "My master spared your life multiple times in the past, each time offering you a chance to reform. If only he'd known, he should have reduced you to ashes back then, destroying your body and soul!"

Deng Yin, with red eyes, angrily rebuked, "You young brats dare to accuse an old man like me! The grievances between your master and me are for him and me to understand; you are unworthy of debating with me! In the past, my two beloved women — one was killed by his own hands, and the other was forced by him to be killed by me. From then on, I swore that as long as I lived, I would avenge this enmity, exterminating all his disciples and wiping out his sect from the human world! You are nothing but tools for my revenge against him..."

Shi Zhu interrupted him, "Deng Yin, my master wasted his efforts on you! Stripping you of the Blood Demon form you cultivated in your previous life, using the spiritual blood of the turtle and snake to grant you a new body, guiding you onto the Mysterious Sect's righteous path, yet you return to the demon path!"

Deng Yin retorted angrily, "Back in the desert, when he was transporting water, our interaction began with deceit and mutual exploitation! Everything afterward was merely mutual benefit. He deceived me into consuming the lotus seed to destroy the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and eventually killed me! Indeed, I've now acquired a new body and cultivated the complete 'Blood God Scripture' in this life,

"You managed to cultivate the Blood Shadow Divine Skill without skinning anyone; your master definitely didn't see that coming, did he? He loved plotting against others all his life, huh, thinking he could arrange everyone's future... I owe him nothing! Without me, he couldn't have obtained the Heavenly Treasure Mirror and the Nine Suspicions Tripod. Without these two supreme treasures, he might have been wiped out by the Buddhist sect and the Emei Sect long ago, wouldn't he?"

He laughed heartily and waved his hand, causing the hundreds of blood figures burning in the Demon Fire to pounce towards Shi Zhu and the members of the Emei Sect.

As he made his move, Princess of Stone God, Red Corpse God Monarch, Jiulei God, and even Elder Shibi all took action simultaneously.

The Emei Sect had already made their preparations before heading out. The Three Immortals and Two Elders, along with Xun Lanyin, simultaneously deployed the Two-Yi Six Harmony Flag Gate and six Treasure Beads to set up a simplified version of the Liangyi Dust Formation, intending to trap Deng Yin. Deng Yin, aware of its power, transformed into a streak of Blood Light and swiftly moved like lightning towards the weakest female disciple of the Emei Sect, intending to seize her body.

The Three Immortals and Two Elders cast their spells simultaneously, with Buddha Light obstructing from the front and the Invisible Sword chasing from the back. Li Hong also released Buddha Light among the disciples to stop Deng Yin. Deng Yin then split into a dozen Blood Shadows, attacking from all directions with a strategy to hit East and attack West, throwing the opponents into chaos.

On the other side, Princess of Stone God summoned the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword. Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun, knowing the power of this Demon Sword, combined their Purple and Blue Double Swords to fiercely attack this demoness, the Princess of Stone God.

Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun were ruthless in their killing intent, wishing to wipe out all evil demons and heretics. They hoped to use their Purple and Blue Double Swords to quickly eliminate this demoness before moving on to kill others.

The remaining disciples of the Emei Sect split into two groups, launching fierce attacks on the Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God.

The remaining Elder Shibi was voluntarily taken on by Shi Zhu, who summoned the Six Roots Pure Bamboo to release beams of cyan light to counter the Blood Flame Gold Saber wielded by Elder Shibi, and then summoned the Xuanyuan Nine Swords. Elder Shibi countered using the Five Mountains Divine Peaks, moving up and down to form five massive fireballs spewing Blood Flame Demon Fire, attempting to forcibly suppress the Xuanyuan Nine Swords.

He unleashed twelve Divine Demons, which transformed and ascended, launching an assault on Shi Zhu. Meanwhile, Deng Yin seized the opportunity to attack from behind, prompting Shi Zhu to quickly erect the Taiyi Qimen Formation for protection.

The battle descended into chaos, with Deng Yin and the Princess of Stone God's divine skills being formidable and versatile. Princess of Stone God had only her Primordial Spirit, which had long been cultivated into a Divine Demon. After entering the Demon Scripture, she became the Sovereign Demon God within the book and, after years of cultivation, became indistinguishable from a True Master, possessing several powerful Magical Treasures in addition to the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.

However, no matter how formidable she was, her power had its limits. Deng Yin was more formidable; he had cultivated Blood Shadow Divine Skill without skinning, becoming comparable to the former Palace Master of the Stone God. He could endlessly produce blood-red human figures, all in his likeness, shrouded in bloody Demon Light, flying chaotically in search of targets to attack.

Moreover, these avatars were not ordinary illusions; each could emit ten beams of Blood Shadow Divine Light, daring to face the flying swords of Earth Immortals without fear. If they were overmatched, they would crash into the opponent, or shatter against their flying swords or Magical Treasures, turning into a puddle of blood contamination, seeping into the weapon, thus causing it to lose its spiritual essence.

The Three Immortals and Two Elders attempted to trap him in the Liangyi Dust Formation, but he was slippery as a fish, his blood light flickering, now in the east, now in the west. The invisible Sword Qi of the Three Immortals and Two Elders' Taicing Mysterious Sect was formidable but always half a step too slow, unable to catch up no matter how hard they tried.

Qi Shuming astutely noticed that Deng Yin excelled at targeting the weakest points of his enemies. The weakest disciples on their side were Lei Que and Wu Wenqi, and Deng Yin focused his efforts on them. Several times, the two were narrowly saved from the brink of death, almost being enveloped by the blood light.

The True Master Miao Yi quickly devised a plan, setting a trap around the two, and in the chaos, handing his Emperor's Palace Heavenly Seal Duoshuai True Decree to Lei Que, discreetly conveying instructions and guiding his movements, while he used the Taiqing Divine Light to deal with Blood God's son.

He instantly set up the trap; Blood God's son predictably took the bait and, as he lunged at Lei Que once again, a massive burst of Taiqing Divine Light erupted from Lei Que's hand, capturing Deng Yin as he rushed forth.

This Emperor's Palace Heavenly Seal Duoshuai True Decree was bestowed upon Qi Shuming by the Heavenly God, containing the Heaven Talisman and including seals and commands.

The Talisman was the divine office conferred by the Heavenly God. Back then, to deal with the calamity facing the Emei Sect, Qi Shuming withdrew it early from the Spiritual Jade Peak, reducing his divine office by a level. Later, during the third sword fight, his physical body was destroyed, and his divine office was reduced by yet another level.

This artifact inherently possesses Heavenly Human Sensing, requiring no adjustment from the Heavenly God, automatically correcting based on actual conditions.

As the rank of the Heaven Talisman decreased, so did the wording of the subsequent seals and the assigned tasks. Initially, Qi Shuming was to serve as the Mysterious Sect's leader to manage matters concerning the group of Immortals' tribulations and final Ascension before the end of the Dharma Era. By now, the text had long changed.

But even so, this True Decree still possessed unparalleled divine might!
