Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 553: Demon Slayer Advances to the Fourth Rank

The loud, distant, majestic and solemn bell sound echoed in Chu Tai's mind.

At the same time, the energy in the Donghuang Bell burst out, and one ancient sacrificial text after another to worship the gods surrounded the Nine Songs, showing a unique rhythm under the pressure of the ancient sacrificial sounds.

Sometimes it is sacred, sometimes it is passionate, sometimes it is grand, sometimes it is mysterious, sometimes it is high, sometimes it is heavy, and there are many different rhythms.

As the rhythm changed, eight figures appeared beside Chu Tai.

One has a breath of pure and clear air, emitting a clear blue light that unifies all things; one has a breath as heavy as a mountain, and as virtuous as the earth, emitting a yellow light that carries all things; one has a brilliant and powerful spirit, dazzling and vast...

The auras of the eight figures gathered around the Donghuang Bell, with auspicious clouds piling up and auspicious mists appearing.

Tian Mo couldn't help but take two steps back, saying in horror: "How is this possible? Why would such a thing..."

It's not that he completely couldn't understand the mystery of the Donghuang Bell, but it was precisely because he understood part of it that he couldn't believe it.

In the perception of the Heavenly Demon, the eight figures surrounding the Donghuang Bell were not human figures, but eight extremely high-quality true Qi. As for those ancient sacrificial texts, they also contained their own mysteries, and some of them were even the embodiment of the fragments of the Dao Fruit.

How could a magic weapon of this level appear in the hands of a fifth-grade cultivator?

The demon was shocked and frightened, but at the same time he felt a trace of uncontrollable greed.

'Although this treasure is mysterious, its connection with the other party is not close enough. If I can assimilate it in the ritual of the Heavenly Demon Seizing the Dao, can I also obtain the ownership of this item? '

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the demon completely let go of his desires.

"In the past, the Heavenly Demon Patriarch overpowered the two True Lords Hunyuan and Qingshi, and forged the supreme foundation of our Heavenly Demon lineage, but it also left an insurmountable shackle on our descendants. Over the past thousands of years, countless geniuses have come one after another, but they can only open up branches outside the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Way, and it is difficult to achieve self-realization with the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Way. Today, let me reproduce the highest mystery of the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Way."

The devil took light steps, and the glazed light began to shatter, turning into pieces of inverted and blurred colorful light that flew everywhere, and from them flowed a wonderful melody formed by the intersection of countless human desires.

This piece of music contains upside-down dreams and a confusing melody of the five elements, but no matter who hears it, no one will feel the slightest bit of evil and decadence. The emotions and desires in it are extremely clear, like mellow old wine. The passion, joy, anger, and even hatred inside have evaporated for the most part over a long period of time, and the remaining part is in the sedimentation, converging into the original dream and desire.

The original desire of the human heart and the highest expectation of the soul are all gathered into this demonic music.

It is precisely this kind of sedimentation that has allowed this Heavenly Demon Music to shed the many mysteries added by generations of Heavenly Demon monks, shed the indulgence and depravity, and return to the Heavenly Demon Music taught by the founder of the Heavenly Demon Dao in the original period.

It is an ancient heavenly music originating from the ancient immortal way, and is also a partial reflection of the summary of the Heavenly Demon Patriarch's own practice and insights.

The surge of such truth actually aroused the subtle response of the Donghuang Bell.

In an instant, the poems and sacrificial texts on the ancient bell flowed with auspicious colors, countless bizarre scenes appeared and disappeared in the light, and the infinite universe appeared and disappeared.

It was also at this time that Chu Tai realized that many records in the sect described the demon's seizure of the Dao as extremely terrifying.

In Chu Tai's past understanding, the so-called Heavenly Demon Seizing the Dao was a kind of demonic method similar to stealing an individual's cultivation and Dao Fruits. Although it was difficult to deal with, there were ways to deal with it.

But now it seems that the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Seizing Dao probably still contains the concept of the ancient immortal path's magic test. It's just that the Heavenly Demon Patriarch has alienated the core of the original magic test to a certain extent, turning the test originally imposed by the Immortal Emperors into a common test for the Heavenly Demon Dao and the Immortal Dao cultivators.

'In the beginning, the demons' seizure of the Dao was not only a test for the cultivators, but also a test for the demons themselves, requiring them to give up their egos to a certain extent, integrate into the Dao that was seized, and then be reborn from the cultivator's Dao heart and Dao fruit, and with incredible changes, perfectly occupy everything of the cultivator.'

'It seems that the Heavenly Demon Seizing the Dao itself does not only mean seizing and plundering, but also means competing and suppressing. It's just that the Heavenly Demon Dao cultivators themselves may not be completely sure that they can successfully seize the Dao, so they choose to show the aspects of plundering and seizing.'

'However, if this is the case, there will probably be some problems with the inheritance of Dao Fruit and True Qi, and there will be some traces of others left behind. Is this why the Heavenly Demon cultivators become more and more inhuman as time goes by?'

With the protection of the Donghuang Bell, Chu Tai's mind turned, and after analyzing the foundation and origin of the demon's methods, he quickly made a decision.

He was very clear that the demon in front of him chose to burn himself and sublimate himself, in a way that was almost self-abandoning, to create an opportunity to leave his own traces in Chu Tai's individual concept, and at the same time to create an opportunity for himself to be reborn in Chu Tai's body and even in the Tao Fruit in the future.

After all, according to the ritual of the Heavenly Demon seizing the Dao, once the Heavenly Demon burns himself and sublimates his own foundation, the ceremony will only be over when Chu Tai completely assimilates his essence, or the other party successfully takes over Chu Tai's foundation and Dao fruit.

Before that, the power bestowed by Jade Calendar Master would be difficult to play.

Chu Tai, who understood this, naturally did not want the other party to really merge with him. He had a thought, and the results of the condensation of pieces of Dao fruit fragments such as [Boy], [Alchemist], [Flying Immortal], [Face Reader], [Geographer], [Coroner], [Painting Maker], [Announcer], [Morning Light], [Samanera], [Bhikkhu], and [Monk] emerged, manifesting rounds of colorful clouds that surrounded him, and faced the wonderful joy of the Heavenly Demon that appeared after the Heavenly Demon burned his own essence.

At this time, Miaole had already lost his self-awareness as a demon and was just instinctively approaching Chu Tai.

Therefore, when the fragments of Tao Fruit appear in front of it, the music will not avoid them, but will directly blend with them.

And these Dao Fruit fragments themselves had become somewhat active due to the previous sacrifice. When they encountered the Heavenly Demon Music, they all manifested strange phenomena, making the strange phenomena even more splendid.

Chu Tai took this opportunity to analyze the power of the Heavenly Demon bit by bit. Relying on the Dharma Meaning of [One] and the embryonic form of the Tao Fruit, he gradually absorbed it and achieved his own fourth-grade foundation.

The most amazing thing is that in this process, after the power of the Heavenly Demon Music was filtered through many Dao Fruit fragments, his hidden self-essence was also differentiated.

Once this differentiation begins, it will be a very good opportunity for Chu Tai to target.

Under the perception of the Dharma meaning of [One], a complete individual is differentiated into many differentiated incomplete individuals.

Chu Tai can use the Dao Fruit fragments to quickly find these incomplete individuals that are trying to be completed, and use the power of the Donghuang Bell to suppress and crush them.

During this period, Chu Tai also solved the problem of the activity of the Dao Fruit fragments, crushing, gathering, differentiating and absorbing some of the sacrificial power that emerged from them.

And when the last bit of essence approached Chu Tai, he mobilized the Donghuang Bell to slowly fall down, crushing and suppressing it completely.

At the moment when the demon disappeared, a force descended from the darkness and transformed its foundation and magic power into a part of Chu Tai.

Chu Tai also took advantage of the fact that the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit was completely condensed. The moment he was promoted to the fourth level, his mind moved, and layers of auspicious colors and rays of light surrounded the Donghuang Bell, slowly shrinking inwards and blending into it bit by bit.
