The road is vague

Chapter 323 Primitive Evil God Cult

Li Mo, suspended in the air, looked slightly pale.

He staggered slightly, then took a deep breath to calm the backlash on his soul.

After a while, he suppressed the weakness after unleashing the dual chaotic lightning. He first glanced at the shattered island, then shot out a beam of spiritual light, retrieving a blue demon core and a shrunken conch shell.

The value of a demon core goes without saying.

This conch shell is no ordinary object; it is a precious magical artifact material that can be used to forge defensive magical artifacts.

"The power of the soul is the foundation for a Golden Core cultivator to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. We should pay more attention to it in the future."

After muttering to himself in a low voice, Li Mo first put away the Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet, then recalled the True Demon Avatar, and finally arrived near the Evil God Grass.

The cactus fruit on the evil god grass looks like it will be ripe soon after a few more blood sacrifices.

After the True Demon Avatar swallowed this fruit, the potential and strength it gained were secondary. After all, the True Demon Avatar was already at the Golden Core stage, and it was impossible for it to experience a significant increase in potential like an ordinary human after swallowing it. However, it would undoubtedly be much easier for it to leave this edge of the sea, enter the area ruled by the gods, and then reach the main continent on the other side of the Forbidden Sea in the future.

After all, according to intelligence, neither the Lost Continent nor the nearby archipelago and sea areas are suitable for him to cultivate for a long time.

However, if one were to reach the Eastern Ridge Wasteland on the other side of the Forbidden Sea, although many of the Misty Clan were equally unfriendly to humans, quite a few Misty Clan members chose to be accommodating. According to the Misty Nine Fox Clan members, many humans settled and lived there, and some even intermarried.

Think so.

Li Mo flew towards Coral Island.

He plans to spend some time in seclusion on this island to consolidate his Golden Core stage cultivation.

After all, compared to Little Treasure Island, Coral Island is the largest island in this Four Treasures Sea Area, with the fewest population and the most barren, making it more suitable for his secluded cultivation. His True Demon Avatar can take this opportunity to continue the blood sacrifice to the Evil God Grass while learning about the Thunder Yuan Sect of Great Treasure Island and the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book.

He was ultimately just a passerby here, and had little attachment to this place.

"Foolish old man."

As Li Mo called out, the phantom of the Divine Grass Waa Wa, riding a money-stealing rat, leaped out from his sleeve.

Li Mo took out the man-eating vine fruit he had obtained in the Heavenly Realm.

"Now that I have advanced to the Golden Core stage, you should tell me how to obtain this magical artifact, right?"

He had once sealed a Golden Core stage Wu Clan giant. He originally planned to wait until he advanced to the Golden Core stage and find a way to finish repairing the half-built super-large Seven Star Zhou Tian Altar in Stone City before sacrificing the Wu Clan giant to communicate with the order of heaven and earth a second time. However, he did not expect to encounter such a setback and had to flee here.

"I didn't tell you back then because it was for your own good."

The old man sighed, "Sacrificing to the witch clan and fusing with witch artifacts can enhance one's cultivation, allow one to comprehend the order of heaven and earth, and gain extraordinary power, but do you know what the price is?"

"What is it?"

Li Mo only knew that after sacrificing himself to the Witch Clan, he seemed to be transforming into a member of the Witch Clan himself, and could be sacrificed as a member of the Witch Clan by others. He was unaware of any other changes at the moment.

"It's one thing to gradually lose the ability to reproduce, but eventually you might even lose your innate Qi and gradually approach the physique of the Wu Clan, becoming a naturally born existence. However, this is the Mountain and Sea Realm, and your essence will gradually evolve into something similar to our Immortal Root or the ancient Mountain and Sea Demon."

Li Mo's expression changed slightly, but he was also somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong with transforming into your naturally born essence?"

“In times of prosperity, of course there is nothing wrong with it, and it can even be said to be a great opportunity. But when the world declines, you have seen our situation. The Mountain and Sea Realm will absorb us as nutrients. Do you still think this is a good thing?”

The old man's words immediately made Li Mo's face turn extremely ugly.

Fortunately, he immediately added a sentence.

"However, the witch clan you sealed was an underage one who had not yet truly aligned with the order of heaven and earth. Sacrificing three or five of them would not be a big deal. In addition, your physique is special and has been contaminated by evil spirits. Even if you want to align with the Mountain and Sea Realm, it will not accept you so easily. But if you want the witch artifact to take shape, you will need to build the Seven Star Great Zhou Altar. This is no small project, and you can only slowly work on it after you reach the Golden Core stage."

The Seven Stars Celestial Altar mentioned by the old man is definitely not the miniature altar in the underground ruins of Cangyuan Stone City.

Instead, they were those enormous altars that were built halfway through by the bamboo rat spirits, who had enslaved thousands of people from the Great Qian Kingdom.

Sudden.

Li Mo suddenly had an idea, and his eyes lit up.

"If we can eliminate that Thundercloud Venerable, we can not only seize his Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, but also try to drive those cultists to build an altar. At the same time, we can also protect the humans here. It can be said to be killing three birds with one stone."

Not only that.

When it comes to establishing cults, True Demon Avatar is a master in this field.

Back then, when he was in the Chen family of Bai'an City, he used the method of spreading bloodline pollution to reside in other people's bodies. He could even endow them with spiritual roots, allowing these polluted people to cultivate for him, and finally reclaim his bloodline, greatly increasing his strength.

Gradually.

A sinister and evil plan to gradually replace the Lei Yuan Sect was slowly forming in Li Mo's mind. This was also his understanding of the True Demon Avatar ability after advancing to the Golden Core stage and improving his personal realm.

Two days later.

After advancing to the Golden Core stage, Li Mo's escape speed more than doubled.

He crossed distant seas and arrived near the sparsely populated Coral Island, where he once again witnessed a small-scale battle between the evil cultivators of the Thunder Origin Sect and the island's inhabitants.

"It's like sending a pillow when you feel sleepy."

After a cold smile, Li Mo summoned his True Demon clone.

The true demon clone understood Li Mo's plan perfectly. Instead of rushing to attack, it kept looking around for a suitable target.

After a fierce battle between the cultivators and martial artists on the warship and the mutated cultists, the outcome gradually came to a conclusion. This time, the fierce and valiant residents of Coral Island gained the upper hand and drove away the Thunder Origin Cult cultists who came to plunder.

As the warships sailed further away, many cult members were seriously injured and drifted on the sea, waiting to die.

Upon seeing this, the true demon's clone knew that the time was ripe.

He vanished in a flash, arriving above a cultist with octopus legs. From his vantage point, he looked down upon the cultist, who was floating on the sea, his body pierced by two spears, barely clinging to life, awaiting death.

He only noticed the humans standing in the air and instinctively struggled to get up, but he was too weak.

"Hmph, you want to survive and gain extraordinary power?"

The voice of the true demon avatar was so seductive that it stunned the cultist.

The demonic avatar chuckled in a low voice, "I am the primordial evil god. Uphold my authority, guard my secrets, and fulfill my will. I will grant you immense potential, great power, and new life."

The dying cult member struggled to speak and ask questions.

"Great primordial evil god, what is your will?"

“To build an altar, a very, very, very large altar, would require at least several thousand people and more than ten years of time to finally defeat Venerable Lei Yuan.”

The cult member trembled, seemingly struggling internally.

He finally made a decision.

"I am willing to become your believer!"

The true demon avatar didn't know if he was being genuine, feigning reluctance, or harboring other motives, but none of that mattered to him. During their conversation, his primordial true demon blood was already brewing the corresponding rules of corruption.

Just like the Chen family back then.

The other party may have various thoughts, but you must not betray him.

Then, the true demon clone, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Mo, smiled wickedly. He stretched out his right hand, and a finger silently detached, turning into a clump of demonic blood that flowed into the cultist's wound.

"It might hurt a little, you'll have to bear with it."

Say it.

The true demon clone immediately pulled out the two spears stuck in his body, and the cultist let out a painful scream.

"what……"

Only after the demonic blood flowed into his body and his wounds healed rapidly did the cultist struggle to his feet, panting.

He stood upright, his upper body visible above the sea.

He could feel an evil, corrupting force rapidly merging into his body.

This power did not conflict with the other evil spirit power within him. Instead, it acted like a parasite, eroding the evil spirit power that had corrupted and mutated him into his current form, and granting him even greater potential.

"Congratulations, you have been reborn."

The true demon's clone was affected by this, and its aura weakened slightly.

But it's worth it.

The investment made now will surely yield double the returns in the future, once these believers die. All the cultivation levels enhanced by the demonic blood will become his power as the demonic blood returns to his avatar.

The only thing he needed to be careful about was to hide carefully during this period, just like the demon steward who hid in Bai'an City back then. He must not be discovered by anyone with ulterior motives and then be killed.

Fortunately, the true demon clone can hide in the ethereal dream world at any time and return to the side of the original body.

The cultists knelt in devout worship on the sea.

"Thank you, great primordial evil god. Now, what should we do?"

“Take me to the Great Treasure Island. I need to corrupt more heretics and gradually erode the Lei Yuan Sect.”

After receiving the divine message from the true demon avatar, this octopus-shaped cultist immediately devised a plan for him, recounting the various orders on the Great Treasure Island and the Lei Yuan Cult cultists who could be developed as a target, showing utter loyalty.

Li Mo couldn't help but wonder if this same demon had subdued Liu Biao and Chen Wang in the same way.

unconsciously.

Three months have passed.

The true demon clone has initially settled down on the Great Treasure Island, secretly recruiting more than fifty cultists and using these cultists to carry out several blood sacrifices on the evil god grass on the wild island.

He received good news a couple of days ago: the cactus fruit has ripened.

However, due to the presence of these fifty-odd cultists, the demonic blood of the True Demon Avatar has been continuously diluted, and its cultivation level has temporarily fallen to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

If he continues to expand his followers and dilute his demonic bloodline, his cultivation level will continue to decline.

These followers have far greater potential than other cult members.

As time goes by, their strength will continue to increase, and they will gradually rise to the middle and upper levels of the Lei Yuan Sect, whereupon they will secretly construct the Seven Star Great Zhou Altar and realize Li Mo's plan to replace him.

“Great Primordial Evil God, I received news yesterday that Lei Yuan Demon Path has once again sent the Three Kings Serpent to attack Xiaozhen Island. However, Xiaozhen Island is not his ultimate target. His plan is to spend ten years sacrificing the blood of everyone on Xiaozhen Island before contacting the slave-hunting ships of Xuanwu Island to launch an attack on Caibei Island. He needs the Thunder Spirit materials in the hands of the Golden Turtle Master to further strengthen his control over the Three Kings Serpent.”

The octopus-shaped cultist, who was first bewitched by the true demon's clone, has now become the leader of the Primal Evil God Cult.

The true demon clone was very satisfied with the efficiency of this cult leader.

Xuanwu Island?

"Oh, that's the closest spirit island to Four Treasures Island. It's the territory of the Trident Sea God, and one of the larger spirit islands among the many in the Thousand Treasures Islands. Because the Trident Sea God's management is relatively lax, commerce is quite developed. Some rogue cultivators skilled in disguise often choose this island as a trading post. Some say this is intentional on the part of the Trident Sea God, to attract more people..."

The Three-Forked Sea God is a transformed great demon king, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, far beyond the reach of ordinary transformed lesser demons, and holds an extraordinary position in the Thousand Treasures Islands.

"understood."

The true demon clone nodded slightly.

“I will be leaving for a while. During my absence, you must urge the followers to practice diligently and not slack off.”

"Yes!"

a few days later.

The true demon clone returned to the shattered wild island, looked at the evil god grass in front of it, grabbed the ripe evil god fruit, and swallowed it.

A strange and evil power surged within the True Demon's body, causing him to activate his demon form.

The giant, originally with dark skin and no gender, began to expand and grow larger, then quickly contract and recover. After repeating this transformation several times, he changed from a standard demon form into an even more ferocious and brutal evil god form. As his size increased, his skin became covered with strange markings, and plant veins could be seen writhing beneath his skin, exuding a sinister aura of plant spirits.

"Is this the form of the evil god after consuming the evil god fruit?"

Compared to evil gods formed from the corruption of evil spirits and the evil faith, this form of evil god is more like a vegetable, or rather, it incorporates the man-eating vine element of the witch clan.

"It seems that what Master Dai said about the Evil God Grass being a special order formed by the corruption of the Seven Star Realm Witch Clan is not without basis."

After muttering to himself, the true demon avatar saw that the demonic body was gradually stabilizing, and immediately reverted to Li Mo form.

As for the true demon avatar, its purpose was to fuse various characteristics to form the ultimate depravity and filth. Therefore, it felt nothing at all when it was corrupted by this evil god-like defilement.

"Next, we will focus on running the Primal Evil God Cult."

After secretly returning to Treasure Island, the True Demon clone dissipated its demonic blood within just six months, expanding to more than a hundred followers. Through the corruption of evil spirits within these followers, it gained a deeper understanding of the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book.

The contamination of the primordial demonic blood, though not as widespread as that of the evil spirit, is more insidious and more depraved.

Given enough time and proper manipulation, he does indeed have a considerable chance of replacing Venerable Lei Yuan and taking control of that evil spirit.

This matter is not urgent for now.

Even with the assistance of those two demon cores, Li Mo, as a Golden Core cultivator, would still need to go into seclusion for at least several years to completely stabilize his cultivation level. For Li Mo, this was just a matter of a blink of an eye.

He is most likely planning to find a way to forge one or two treasures to save his life.

The true demon clone didn't feel anything special about it.

His predecessor had been hiding in Bai'an City for over thirty years before developing a cult, and using this cult to raise his cultivation to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

His plan to replace the Lei Yuan Sect on Da Bao Island and secretly build the Seven Star Great Zhou Altar also requires time to develop.
