The First Demon of the Chan Sect

Above the Heavenly Vault, three tremendous auras were spreading.

At the center of the storm, the figure of the Rule Dao Body had already gradually become invisible, but the overwhelming aura of death tightly shrouded everyone's hearts.

On the other side, the Golden Boat City Lord's golden light slowly faded, revealing a burly and fierce figure. His robust body, tense muscles, and supremely dignified face all showcased the formidable strength of the Golden Boat City Lord.

At this moment, he was holding a giant axe, as if ready to create Heaven and Earth, striking fiercely at the Rule Dao Body.

Looking up at Li Qingming racing down from the Heavenly Vault, the Essence Blood of the Swallowing Sky Bear in his heart clearly took effect, transforming him into a huge Swallowing Sky Bear with a long spear in its claw, standing upright, truly ferocious!

At this moment, the Defense Magic Array enveloping Cold Origin Ancient City showed massive breakdowns, with endless starlight falling from the Heavenly Vault. Three shadows almost drew all the nature's spiritual energy of the entire Cold Origin Ancient City.

"Three Half-step Heavenly Dao Level Great Powers going all out. Damn it! They are fighting with their lives!" Long Xuhu was extremely shocked, his eyes slowly narrowing.

Yin Xi, with a glint in his eyes, said to Li Qingquan and others beside him: "Pay attention to the battle. If we survive this, this conflict will benefit us for a lifetime!"

...

"Death Rule, you, being under the Great Dao, dare to meddle in the disputes among Cultivators and even want to destroy an entire city. Do you want the Great Dao to completely erase you?" Li Qingming roared, attacking forward.

"Indeed, Rules have no emotions. Even if you return this time, you will still be eradicated by the Great Dao!" bellowed the Golden Boat City Lord, also striking furiously.

The two contending with the Rule Dao Body, neither afraid of heaven nor earth, even if an incarnation of the Great Dao arrived, they would not sit idly by—they would undoubtedly make a ruthless move.

At this moment, the Rule Dao Body had completely gone mad, not listening to what the two were saying at all. Newly born spiritual intelligence was already extinguished by rage; the nine huge horns on its head kept flashing, waist-long gray hair fluttering, constantly roaring, crazily inhaling and exhaling nature's spiritual energy, attempting to refine the entire city, killing all people here.

"Boom!"

Endless Death Rule transformed into thousands of giant dragons soaring in the air, sweeping towards the two men, the black Demonic Qi piercingly bright, making the small plaza within a ten-mile radius completely boil.

"Rules, die!" Golden Boat City Lord roared, his eyes cold as lightning, the huge axe tracing a Mysterious trajectory in the air, carrying boundless Rule Power, slashing down.

The Heavenly Vault cracked, the earth sank deeply, the axe light successively cleaved several giant dragons transformed from the Power of Death Rules, then flew straight towards the Rule Dao Body's head.

"Boom!"

The piercingly bright gray Rule Power completely erupted, the giant axe directly cleaving onto the Rule Dao Body's shoulder, splitting him in two, and the body of Rule Dao Body also faded instantly, the storm of converging nature's spiritual energy abruptly halted.

"Zing!"

The Rule Dao Body, split in two by the giant axe, from its fifteen-foot-tall body, inexhaustible black Death Rule Power dispersed into the surroundings, slowly dissolving into the air.

"Ah, damn it, damn it, you all should die!"

At that moment, the unexpected happened; as the Death Rule Power was about to completely dissipate, the two parts of the Rule Dao Body's body, under the horrified gaze of everyone, started to converge, the paused storm of spiritual energy started flowing again, even faster than before.

"Holy shit, what's this?"

"Rules, Death Rules... Could it still control its own life and death?"

"No way, if that's true, then it's too defying!"

Previously seeing the Rule Dao Body being split in half, the spectators had fallen into joy. But now, the situation suddenly took a drastic turn, leaving them, the spectators, with their hair standing on end.

"Old guy, get out of the way!"

Just then, a sky-shaking roar suddenly came from above the Heavenly Vault.

Up above the Heavenly Vault, the giant bear beast that Li Qingming had transformed into crushed the void, extremely fierce. Terrifying silver Space Rule Power enveloped him, and the purple long spear turned into a giant dragon, tightly following behind Li Qingming, striking down.

"Good lad, you were actually holding back before!" Golden Boat City Lord turned around abruptly upon hearing it. When he saw Li Qingming in this state, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still stepped aside in the void.

"Death Rule, this is not the place for you. Daoist is sending you back home right now!" Li Qingming roared, the Bitter Bamboo transformed dragon fierce, shaking its head and tail and charging towards the mad Rule Dao Body, intending to completely scatter him.

The dragon burst down, emitting tide-like Dragon Roars, ripples appearing in circles, the purple dragon soaring into the air, lunging at the Rule Dao Body.

"Roar!"

Rule Dao Body roared, its eyes shooting out two pitch-black Flying Snakes, snapping and twisting, entangling the purple dragon, stopping it from proceeding further.

"Die for me!" Li Qingming's eyes sparkled brilliantly, the purple dragon instantly expanded, carrying a trace of bright silver Spatial Law Power, breaking the two Flying Snakes and rushing forward.

"Thunderous roar!"

Cold Origin Ancient City trembled, the giant purple dragon tore at the Rule Dao Body countless times, stirring up circles of towering purple lights.

At last, the slender spear body was soaked in fresh blood, nearly piercing the Rule Dao Body thoroughly, with the spear even embedded in his body.

Brilliant powers of Death Rules madly overflowed, illuminating the entire ancient city. The aura of the Rule Dao Body grew weaker and weaker until it was almost nothing.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the dark power of Death Rules converged, as the Rule Dao Body tried its old trick to resurrect once again.

The people below tensed, secretly thinking, "No way, could this guy really have an Undying Body? Even with a body like a smashed watermelon, can it still reform?"

Golden Boat City Lord, not far away, also wore a look of worry, having suffered greatly under similar circumstances before, otherwise, it would not have been Li Qingming's turn to take action.

"How could I let you have your way?" Having anticipated this move by Rule Dao Body already, Li Qingming bellowed fiercely. His massive form burst forth, reaching Rule Dao Body in an instant, his fore-claws shimmering with silver and gold as the powers of Space and Time Rules instantly merged.

"Swoosh!"

The Supreme Power of Space-Time Rules, at this moment, was employed by Li Qingming. His claw reached out like lightning, mercilessly piercing the Rule Dao Body's forehead, delving deep into its mind where blood trickled out, a ghastly sight.

"Indeed!" After groping inside for a while, Li Qingming revealed a cold smirk, his claw violently pulling out a black thread.

This black thread was the fundamental power of Death Rules, the very reason this Rule Dao Body possessed such formidable energy.

Staring at the black thread struggling in his claw, Li Qingming sneered coldly, spewing out a puff of gray flames, enveloping the thread.

"Boom!"

The gray flames, seemingly without any temperature, incinerated the black thread into ashes within moments, scattering into the air.

"Bang!"

With the thread gone, the body of the Rule Dao Body started to crumble, with incessant "crack" noises as the powers of Death Rules dissipated.

His eyes dimmed, trying to halt this decline but powerless, he finally met the end of his brief life.

"Howl..."

Ultimately, he let out a gargantuan howl to the skies, his fierce eyes wide open, his massive fanged mouth exuding a puff of Demonic Qi, transforming into a dark wind rushing towards Li Qingming.

At the same time, he was manipulating the horrific nature's spiritual energy gathered here to crush Li Qingming to death.

"Die!" Li Qingming roared, his Dao voice echoing and shattering the Demonic Qi, his claw thrusting forward with the Bitter Bamboo Spear.

With a "pfft," the head of Rule Dao Body completely exploded, the crimson blood shooting up three thousand feet, a horrifying sight.

However, Li Qingming did not intend to let it go at that; he retrieved the Bitter Bamboo Spear, his huge forepaws gently stepping on the fragmented body of Rule Dao Body.

"Pfft!"

A soft sound, the body of Rule Dao Body exploded entirely, turning into a mist of blood, showering the Heavenly Vault.

A Great Power that embodied the rules, had not yet shone in this world before his life and soul utterly vanished!

"Phew! It's over!" Li Qingming let out a light breath, reverting from his bear form back to human.

"Rumble!"

Yet, just as he thought it was over, the uncontrolled storm of nature's spiritual energy began to disperse, sparking utter chaos in the area with buildings within twenty li collapsing and the already cracked defensive array above the Heavenly Vault finally shattered under this pressure.

"Damn this Rule Dao Body of Death Rules, even in death, you leave me such a mess!" Li Qingming's expression slightly changed, utilizing all his power to disperse this potentially earth-shattering spiritual energy.

At this moment, seemingly forgotten by everyone, Shadow Four, Shadow Five, and Shadow Six, seeing the broken array above, suddenly their eyes lit up, they leaped up, transforming into three rainbows, ready to flee this realm.

"Since all troubles started because of you, and now, when it's coming to a head, you think to escape? Die for me!" Golden Boat City Lord, his face ashen, flicked his sleeves lightly, sending a terrifying golden light shooting out, whipping towards the brothers in the Heavenly Vault.

"Buzz!"

The terrifying golden light pierced the void, with unmatched might, lightly brushing against the brothers.

"No!"

As the golden light approached, the brothers screamed in horror, their expressions freezing as they started cracking from the face, blood oozing out continuously as their formidable True Sub-Saint True Yuan leaked out, their concealed Primordial Spirits also rapidly splitting.

Their bodies burst into a brilliant spray of blood, their Divine Souls shattered, the golden shooting light sending them into the end of their lives, souls destroyed!
