The Ancestor of All Demons

Xin Ru was furious and shocked to have two avatars forcibly collected by Shi Feiyang in succession. She gathered the remaining four avatars around her and shouted at Shi Feiyang, "Do you dare come down with me for a showdown?"

Without waiting for Shi Feiyang to agree, she took Zhu Youmu and other followers and flew back to the ground directly above the Blood Hole. Her huge body began to shrink, eventually disappearing into the Blood Hole.

Master Fen Tuo transmitted his voice saying, "Below is the Cave Heaven Realm created by the demoness. Once you go down, your Top Three Flowers will be scattered. Be very careful."

He didn't say whether Shi Feiyang should go or not but only mentioned the danger, leaving it to Shi Feiyang to decide.

Previously at Baihua Mountain, Xin Ru had already used this skill. The Buddhist experts present recognized the danger and dared not go down. Even if they went inside, their Top Round Lights would be broken, and their Golden Bodies destroyed.

Shi Feiyang had long planned to go down for a final resolution with her. Signalling to Master Fen Tuo that he was safe, he said to Xin Ru, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

He manifested three small purple and blue men on his head, forming a purple and blue light screen that enveloped him. Then he willingly descended into the Blood Hole.

Below was an endless void enveloped by thick Demon Blood Evil Fog, constantly surging forward to seal a person within a Blood Fetus.

Shi Feiyang used Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire to protect himself, dispersing the Demon Blood Evil Fog, preventing it from contaminating his Immortal Body.

Xin Ru summoned Zhu Youmu and others to surround Shi Feiyang in the center, starting a group attack. Xie Shan also kept shaking the Heart Lamp, sending thousands of sparks flying towards him.

Shi Feiyang used "Ten Days Heavenly Punishment," encircling himself with ten Sun Wheels, which wildly sprayed purple and blue flames in all directions, breaking through their Buddha Light, spells, and melting away inferior magical treasures. Most people couldn't get close, forced to retreat continuously, eventually retreating to a thousand miles away.

Xin Ru seized the opportunity to spur the array with her four avatars, causing the pervasive Demon Blood Evil Fog to form tidal waves, one after another, surging towards Shi Feiyang.

Her "Fetus Burial" array wasn't merely about Demon Fog surging; it also twisted space, forming spatial waves with increasing magnitude and frequency, eventually forming four black holes.

Originally, there should be six, but since the Divine Demon incarnations of the Asura Path were eliminated by Shi Feiyang, there were only four left.

Moreover, these were formed by karmic power, surrounded by black and red karmic fire. Due to karmic influence, all Three Realms and Six Paths cannot escape, all will be drawn in, thus trapped in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Shi Feiyang dared not let himself be touched by those incessant karmic fires either, raising his hand to release five clusters of colorful light, which turned into five colorful Lotus Platforms upon landing.

The five Lotus Platforms all grew to twelve petals; not only was the central main lotus flower large, but many branches also grew around it, with large lotus leaves and multiple small lotuses blooming on them.

Shi Feiyang stood on the central Yellow Lotus, flanked on both sides by one green, one white, and front and back, one red and one black. On each Lotus Platform stood his avatar.

Xin Ru saw this scene as if witnessing the most terrifying thing in the world!

"How is it possible? How could it... how..." She suspected she had fallen into Shi Feiyang's illusion.

"This must be fake! It must be fake! It couldn't truly be happening!" Xin Ru tried relentlessly to cast spells to break the illusion, yet no matter how hard she tried, what she saw remained five lotus flowers bearing five identical youths.

Xin Ru used the Conch Leaf Talisman to turn back time to before she went to Baihua Mountain. At that time, Shi Feiyang should have only had three lotus platforms in his hand! How was it possible to simultaneously contain all Five Elements?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

She wanted to scream, aiming to prove reality wrong and herself right.

Seeing her confusion, Shi Feiyang asked her, "Guess why the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader hasn't come yet?"

Xin Ru froze, of course, she had previously contacted the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, attempted contact during the duel too, yet there was always no response, neither a reply nor an appearance.

Why was that?

Shi Feiyang certainly wouldn't tell her that when she last turned back time, he changed the Heavenly Number with the Heavenly Treasure Mirror...

Heaven was round, representing the eternal cycle of time, Earth was square, representing endless spatial extension.

The ancients observed heavenly phenomena, calculated cycles of the sun, moon, and stars to define the Heavenly Number, aiming to confirm time.

With only the Earth Dao, everything was still and static.

With the Heavenly Dao, everything experiences change, renewal, birth, aging, sickness, and death, endlessly...

Shi Feiyang had painstakingly obtained this treasure to counter the power of the Conch Leaf Talisman.

Any destiny under the Treasure Light of the Heavenly Mirror was determined by the possessor of the Heavenly Mirror!

Xin Ru caused time to reverse, but Shi Feiyang ensured all five lotus platforms were in his possession.

The old man Shi Pi was also within the Treasure Light, and Shi Feiyang retained his memory, allowing him to regain his physical body through time reversal.

The Conch Leaf Talisman was truly formidable; not only did the old man Shi Pi's physical body revert to its prime state, but the Twelve Divine Demons, Heavenly and Ten Earths Ruyi Divine Thunder, and others were all restored back to him. Only the Blood Lotus Calyx was retained by Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang did not keep the old man Shi Pi on Jiuhua Mountain, allowing him to reverse with time back to the Star Constellations Sea to avoid Xin Ru discovering any flaws.

With complete memory before and after the time reversal, the old man Shi Pi marveled at the prowess of both Buddhist and Taoist methods — one was capable of reversing time, and the other could arbitrarily alter the Heavenly Number. Knowing his future path lay with Shi Feiyang, he pretended nothing had happened. When Xin Ru requested again, and Deng Yin sent people, he followed to Jiuhua Mountain once more.

There was also the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, who returned to the North Sea, but he didn't retain his memory.

In the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's perspective, he originally had an agreement with Xin Ru to steal the Evil Dragon's nest in Outer Heaven Divine Mountain. If Master Chi Zhang stayed in Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, he was prepared to help at Jiuhua Mountain.

But suddenly, he discovered his Black Lotus was missing.

With his Divine Power, it was impossible for anyone to directly steal the treasure from him.

He painstakingly calculated and finally noticed some clues, guessing it might be related to Xin Ru using the Conch Leaf Talisman to reverse time. Perhaps he had done something, maybe went to battle at Outer Heaven Divine Mountain or rushed to Jiuhua Mountain, losing the Black Lotus, and Xin Ru reversed time, and he came back.

Regardless of the possibility, the Black Lotus was indeed taken by the enemy!

This heavily set back his previously soaring ambition, after much calculation and farsight, even though it seemed only half a day had passed, things were not the same. Xin Ru was at the end of his line and would soon be eradicated, making any effort at Jiuhua Mountain futile, and he might suffer heavy losses.

Thus, he declined Xin Ru's summons, thinking instead, once Xin Ru was annihilated, he'd have another chance to act with only one path left — going to the West Sea.

His senior brother, Cha Shuangying, had left many contingencies over the years, not content with departing the world!

So he turned to the West Sea, returning to the Demon Palace where Cha Shuangying once resided to cultivate.

But this reason, Shi Feiyang didn't plan to explain to Xin Ru clearly. He said to Xin Ru, "Do you know why I came back to your Fetus Burial Demon Formation for a duel? Because I want to conduct an experiment, to see how to open a world. Now that my Five Elements Lotus are complete, I intend to leverage your Array to open a new Pure Land..."

Xin Ru, hearing this, wanted to curse; it was shameless!

The Great Ru Pure Land was something she had meticulously planned and schemed for decades, exhausting a millennium of cultivation and countless efforts, about to be established.

Yet Shi Feiyang wanted to forcefully seize it!

She roared, shaking her eight arms, pouncing at Shi Feiyang, and commanded her four avatars and all her followers to simultaneously attack Shi Feiyang in a life-and-death struggle.

Shi Feiyang began to cast a spell, his true form, along with the four avatars on the Lotus Platforms, began casting and conducting.

The five Lotus Platforms spewed twelve strands of Five Elements Primordial Qi upwards.

Then, the five people simultaneously emitted ten beams of finger light, in blue, red, yellow, white, and black, weaving together in the air to form a net, within which large Thunder Pearls condensed.

Shi Feiyang previously wielded this Thunder Skill alone, but this time, he operated it together with four avatars, with a continuous energy supply from the Five Elements Lotus Platforms.

Xin Ru, believing that in his array, Shi Feiyang couldn't draw down the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder from the sky, didn't expect Shi Feiyang to take out the Five Elements Lotus.

The gigantic light net exploded into a multitude of colors, not only spawning endless Thunder Pearls on the web but the web itself layered over and over. In an instant, three hundred and sixty layers of Thunder Net formed, covering the entire world, before detonating!

This tremendous explosion truly shattered and collapsed the space.

This Fetus Burial Array could already generate countless spaces; each person would be generated a separate space upon entering it, transforming them into a Demon Embryo before reincarnating into the Great Ru Pure Land.

Xin Ru planned to distribute all the Thunder Pearls Shi Feiyang created into various spaces to dissipate them, after all, the Ruyi Yin Thunder explosion of old man Shi Pi before was like a speck of dust within his Kong Family.

No matter how much energy, it could be dissipated.

However, Shi Feiyang's complete Thunder Net, named Pre-Postnatal Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder Net, had the interaction of Five Elements Generation and Conquest between Thunder Pearls and the essence of continuous birth from prenatal and postnatal phenomena, which was not something her array's generated spaces could block.

Billions of Thunder Pearls exploded simultaneously, reacting and continuously creating new ones, multiplying geometrically, shattering all the countless spaces generated by the Fetus Burial Array!

These "Fetus Burial" worlds were blown apart, their foundations collapsed, and the inside which was a beautiful ground paved with gold bricks, the Great Ru Pure Land, fractured and the sky disintegrated.

The Great Dafang Guang Buddha's Pure Land, painstakingly built by Xin Ru over decades, was utterly ruined inside.

The great Four Elements all mixed into one mass.
