The First Demon of the Chan Sect

"How is this possible, how can it be? Junior, what exactly have you done to me!" The tender and smooth-skinned child shouted loudly.

The sharp howl, along with the milky cries, made it impossible for anyone to associate him with the ancient visage and immortal bearing of Jiang Ziya.

Despite the ludicrousness of this scene, no one could bring themselves to laugh.

At this moment, the water level of the Sea of Death God had completely receded into the ten-thousand-foot-deep pit that Li Qingming and Jiang Ziya had just created.

Now, everyone was floating under the distant heavenly vault, all silent as cicadas in winter.

It is truly terrifying— "Time Reversal, Reincarnation Emptied!"

The comprehension of time-space rules has reached such a degree, chaotically reversing time and space, applying the power of space-time rules solely to one person, altering the course of time!

This is beyond the dominion of the Heavenly Dao, stepping into the way of the Great Dao!

Niu Qingtian, inhabited by the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm titan Man Niu, was deeply moved and murmured, "A bull, even more bullish than this old bull!"

The sixty-plus Sub-Saint Middle Stage disciples of Ziwei Palace, previously saved by Jiang Ziya using the Heavenly Net Umbrella, were now shocked to their cores.

Their Master, who previously possessed a mighty Golden Body, had in the blink of an eye turned into a two or three-year-old child? This was truly baffling.

"Master!" the sixty-plus Ziwei Palace disciples cried frantically as they swiftly crossed the heavenly vault, wanting to approach the now child-like Jiang Ziya.

"Hmph, overestimating your own abilities!" Li Qingming turned his head to glance at these elite disciples of the Ziwei Palace, his dark cyan robe sleeve flicking lightly.

"Woo~~~"

A wild Gang Wind rose out of nowhere, fiercely sweeping across the sea surface of the Sea of Death God, blowing them all away.

Having done all this, Li Qingming looked towards Jiang Ziya, still enveloped in golden light, and said, "If it weren't for wanting to give you a chance, why would I have bothered competing with you for so long? I could crush you with one finger!"

Jiang Ziya, having been turned into a tender child by the power of the space-time rules employed by Li Qingming, looked up in terror, shaking his chubby little hands, and said, "Please, change me back, change me back quickly! I will give you Spiritual Treasures, I can offer you Spiritual Treasures..."

As he spoke, Jiang Ziya tore a small gourd strung around his neck with red ice silk, opened the gourd lid, and frantically poured it out.

"Clang clang..."

A crisp and pleasant sound of metal clashing rose, the luxurious luster of gems soared, and thousands of Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Objects that had shone brightly during the ancient Divine Enthronement Battle spilled out of the gourd, covering an area of several tens of meters.

Golden light dazzling, with heads like scissors and tails like stocks, the Golden Jiao Scissors; a Wind and Thunder Stick a zhang in length, flickering with the light of wind and thunder; the War-torn Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover ablaze with intense flames…

Piece by piece, Innate Spiritual Treasures and Acquired Merit Treasures that had galloped across Primordial in the Divine Enthronement Battles as if they were mere cabbages, were piled into a mountain.

"This, this Jiang Ziya is really damn rich! With so many Innate Spiritual Treasures and Acquired Merit Treasures, did this guy rob a major sect?" Long Xuhu and Yang Jian, having unknowingly flown over from afar, stared wide-eyed at the mound of numerous treasures and exclaimed together in astonishment.

Li Qingming was silent for a moment, then said, "Pretty much! Among these are Spiritual Treasures from the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Buddhist Sect, enough to support a major sect!"

"This is... utterly frustrating..." Li Qingquan, hearing this, wordlessly looked at the small mountain and finally understood why the incarnated Man Niu, Niu Qingtian, harbored such hatred towards Jiang Ziya.

Man Niu silently flew forward, touching the jade-like yet massive Sky Flipping Seal, continuing to caress the Wind Fire Wheel surrounded by fierce fire and the dense Gentle Wind Law... his facial expression turned somber.

"These, all these are for you!" The child's small face scrunched together, his complexion turning beet-red, "Just please let me revert back!"

Li Qingming watched indifferently and said, "Release the divine chains on Poseidon and that gray-haired one!"

"Alright, alright, I agree!" Jiang Ziya responded without any hesitation, his large eyes even misting slightly.

"Do it!" Li Qingming gestured towards the distance, and Poseidon and Hades, who had already come to the surface of the sea with the crowd, hurriedly flew over and sat cross-legged before Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya, not daring to delay despite his gloomy expression, firmly placed his hands glowing with Divine Patterns onto the icy divine chains.

"Clang clang!"

The chains stirred without wind, a Divine Light flashing with the character "Tao" emerged, locking onto Jiang Ziya's mind like the Merit Golden Wheel of the Buddhist Sect, radiating an immeasurable and mighty aura. A total of twelve mysterious Divine Powers flowed along the air's vibrations into the chains.

This was not a power that Jiang Ziya could control on his own; he could only pray that the "Dao" character divine pattern could absorb the divine power infused into the chains.

"Crack! Crack!"

The chains shook more violently and were accompanied by loud metallic forging sounds.

Then, a glaring white light streaked across the sky, and the six divine chains locked on their hands, feet, and collarbones all turned into powder under the effect of the white light, scattering into the void.

"Whoosh!"

Poseidon and Hades opened their eyes almost simultaneously, feeling the divine power restored within their bodies. Joy filled their eyes, even more exciting than escaping from the water prison.

"Thank you, Master, for saving me from the water prison, and for removing the divine chains from Hades and me!" After the excitement, Poseidon turned over and knelt on one knee before Li Qingming, humbly thanking him.

Hades, also not ungrateful or heartless, knelt before Li Qingming as well, saying, "Titan Clan, Hades, one of the twelve gods, thanks his savior! From now on, Hades will serve you as the master, through fire and water, and will not dare to disobey!"

Li Qingming smiled faintly, waved his sleeves lightly, and seeing the two helped up, said, "It's just a small matter; step aside for now!"

"Yes, Master!" The two brothers stood up and respectfully moved to one side.

"Turn me back, quickly turn me back!" Jiang Ziya, somewhat weakened, raised his small head and looked at Li Qingming with eyes full of pleading.

"Just stay like this!" Li Qingming's lips curled up with a light smile, saying, "Actually, you look quite cute like this, much better than that old man's shabby skin you had!"

"No, you can't do this!" Child Jiang Ziya's face twisted, and the "Dao" character divine pattern behind him began to fluctuate irregularly as his emotions wavered.

"Buzz!"

Rings of golden ripples spread from Jiang Ziya to all sides, cleansing and starting to merge with the death rules' power that had already been gathering from the entire Netherworld God Star.

"Hm?" Feeling the power of death rules still converging above the Sea of Death God, Hades frowned, his dark eyes flashing with a serious look.

He quickly flew beside Li Qingming and said, "Master, the power of death rules of the Netherworld God Star seems to have begun merging with the 'Dao' character divine pattern behind him! This energy is too vast; it might be too late to stop it now!"

"Damn, is this guy planning to self-destruct?" What Hades sensed, Li Qingming could naturally sense too. He cursed under his breath, looking at the increasingly distraught Jiang Ziya, then turned to the people behind him and said, "Fly out of the planet, this guy has gone mad; he's going to explode!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and had not expected him to be this crazy.

"Hahaha, you forced this on me! Rather than living this life in such a skin, I'd rather die happily!" Childish Jiang Ziya laughed strangely, and the "Dao" character divine pattern behind him grew stronger. The power of death rules in the world, carrying tremendous pressure, thundered into existence.

"Go!" Li Qingming glanced at Jiang Ziya and took the lead, rushing towards the cosmic starry sky outside the Netherworld God Star.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several dazzling streaks of light cut through the heavenly vault, carrying endless pressure as they dashed into the distant void.

Disciples of the Ziwei Palace also panicked. None of those who had cultivated to the Sub-Saint Middle Stage were fools. They did not want to die; they still aspired to become saints, harmonize with the Dao, and roam the Central Heaven World!

Thus, they abandoned Jiang Ziya, abandoned this so-called Master, and turned into tunneling light, disappearing into the sky.

Jiang Ziya had completely gone mad, merely laughing wildly without stopping the disciples or Li Qingming and the others from escaping: "Hahaha, escape? I won't let you get what you want, I won't let you get what you want... Let's all die together, let's all die together! Hahaha... Vast and myriad, detonate the heavens! Explode!"

"Boom!"

The "Dao" character divine pattern instantly submerged into the void, and the death power, thick enough to almost materialize, surged tumultuously, completely throwing the Netherworld God Star into chaos.

The Sea of Death's waters churned wildly, giant waves soared to the sky like giant dragons, soaring through the cosmos.

The whole world, after a pause, completely shattered, the essence of endless death power transformed into essence water and sprinkled across the heavenly vault; dark droplets fell onto the ground, where everything they touched wilted, flowers and grass withered, and solid land turned into fine white sand, plunging the world into deadly silence.

In the distance on the horizon, a massive crack spread forth, the long and bottomless crack seeming to split the entire Netherworld God Star open, magma violently churned as scorching air currents burst forth from the cracks on the ground.

In the heavens and the earth, spiritual energy, laws, rules... everything seemed to find a direction to vent, furiously erupting and stirring the world into a dead silence! (To be continued.
