My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 379 Sacrificing Oneself to Become a Demon
It turns out.

Venus's judgment was correct.

Cheng Xiaozi is indeed no match for that self-sacrificing demon, but he himself is unaware of this yet.

……

In the infinitely microscopic nanoworld, on a single nanoparticle, Cheng Xiaozi, holding a specially made immortal-path observation mirror, was observing the existence of the Self-Sacrificing Demon from afar.

Everything is fine in the infinite microscopic world, except that vision is extremely suppressed. Even the owner of the vulnerability cannot lock onto the enemy without special means.

However, the Demon of Self-Sacrifice had completely gotten rid of the troubles of the physical body and no longer had any physical form, so even though Cheng Xiaozi changed various detection lenses, he could not detect its existence.

"Since I can't take the initiative, I'll just have to defend myself!"

So Chengxiaozi took out countless specially made immortal materials and laid out hundreds of defensive formations specifically targeting inner demons on the nanoparticles in front of him.

"Shouldn't that make everything foolproof?"

Chengxiaozi didn't even need to defeat the enemy; a draw would be enough. The Heavenly Court could not win, but it absolutely could not lose. As long as it didn't lose, it would be considered a meritorious act.

He'll definitely gain the favor of Venus, and perhaps even the Emperor's favor, which would be truly...
"Hahahaha!"

Cheng Xiaozi couldn't help but laugh when he thought about his future ascension, and his laughter grew louder and louder.
Tear! ! !

The physical body at the Immortal level is already sublimating towards immortality and indestructibility. Let alone laughing, even if you use your skin to take a cannonball head-on, you will not be damaged.

But now he's grinning from ear to ear?!
Cheng Xiaozi felt the pain in the corner of his mouth, and his hair stood on end. An overwhelming fear welled up in his heart!

"How is that possible? I'm currently hidden in the infinite microscopic realm, protected by so many arrays. How could that demon possibly affect me?"

Cheng Xiaozi kept encouraging himself, trying to convince himself that it was all an illusion.

"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm not afraid, I won't be."

No matter how he tried to convince himself, the pain from the wound was real!

The blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth was warm, yet it felt like a cold tentacle, giving him goosebumps.

Panic is boiling over! Fear is spreading!
Cheng Xiaozi's Dao heart also began to tremble, as if he might fall into the abyss at any moment.

"Oh no!! My Dao heart has already shown a flaw!"

Next second,
Sure enough, a pitch-black demon appeared in his line of sight, seemingly having already discovered his location.

Cheng Xiaozi could no longer sit still, even though he knew he should control his mind and not give the demon any opportunity.

But the thought of possibly losing brought to mind the disappointed expressions of Emperor Haotian and Venus, the reproachful gaze of his family patriarch, and the mockery of countless people.

The more he tries to control himself, the bigger the flaws in his mind become.

Countless distracting thoughts flooded his mind, and Cheng Xiaozi's will became clouded!

"No! I can't just sit here and wait to die. I have to win this battle!"

Even though Chengxiaozi had already won once, no one would say anything if he conceded defeat. But at this moment, he was clearly influenced by the demon and felt that he could not lose and absolutely could not fall here!

"Even though I've set up so many defensive formations, I'm afraid they still won't be able to protect me!"

"You have to leave yourself a way out."

Cheng Xiaozi then painstakingly created a passage within his own formation specifically for escaping!

But at the very moment the channel was formed.

The Demon of Self-Sacrifice appeared behind Cheng Xiaozi, grinning maliciously, "Finally caught you!"

Cheng Xiaozi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
Yes, under normal circumstances, his idea of ​​preparing a way out for himself is definitely correct, but now he is facing a self-sacrificing demon!
As a formless and all-pervasive mental enemy, what the self-sacrificing demon needs most is a passage.

How could Chengxiaozi have forgotten this point?

He shouldn't have forgotten!
It's impossible to forget!
However, his mind had been breached and his thoughts manipulated, so he ultimately made an absolutely wrong judgment.

Upon witnessing this scene, Venus sighed: "I still haven't experienced enough..."

In fact, the best way to fight against evil is to learn from those Buddhist monks and remain steadfast and unmoved!
After all, the more you do, the more you think, the more distractions you have, and the easier it is for the enemy to seize your mental weaknesses!

If Cheng Xiaozi had obediently hidden himself in the nanoparticles from the beginning and done nothing, the self-sacrificing demon wouldn't have discovered him so quickly.

But you can't blame him for that!

After all, this guy was in the middle of the gamble between the Heavenly Court and the Great Sage, which concerned the lives of countless people and the wealth of the entire Zhongzhou City. It was understandable that he felt pressured. But Taibai Jinxing didn't ask for too much.

[A cultivator like Cheng Xiaozi, who has always grown up in a sheltered environment and has never experienced a true life-or-death battle, is no match for the demon.]

[The one truly suited to fight the Self-Sacrificing Demon is this kid!]

When Venus looked at Li Wei, he found that the man's eyes were burning like flames, his muscles were spasming, and even his will had fallen into chaos.

An endless curse was fermenting within his body, the torment of an entire hell was burning within his soul, and boundless thunder was brewing in his mind.

That is precisely the greatest nemesis of inner demons!

[In such a short time, this kid has already absorbed a loan curse worth 20 trillion. The sheer weight of this pain is something even a demon of the heart couldn't bear!]

Venus slapped Li Wei, sending him into the arena:

Go for it! That demon is yours to deal with!!

……

The third duel officially began with Li Wei's entry. The Demon of Self-Sacrifice also emerged from the infinite microscopic world, drifting in the surrounding void, constantly observing Li Wei.

"This is the person valued by the Dark Web Great Sage and the Heavenly Court?"

Pain, excitement, madness, ferocity... How could there be so many flaws in his mind?
With a mindset like that, you'd be a sitting duck in front of him!
but………

Why does it feel so dangerous?
Recalling the rumors about Li Wei, the self-sacrificing demon secretly increased his vigilance, preparing to try to test him first, but the voice of the Great Sage Bo Xun suddenly appeared in his mind.

Go and examine his mind; this may be the key to truly understanding the secrets of self-sacrifice and achieving the position of Demon God!

The Demon God's expression immediately turned solemn. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly slipped into Li Wei's body through the loophole in his mind.

Demon God above,

Is this the legendary sea of ​​suffering in the human world?!
As a demon, the Demon of Self-Sacrifice has experienced most of the troubles of the six senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought), so ordinary pain should not be able to affect his mind.

But at that moment,

The self-sacrificing demon was ultimately subdued by the pain within Li Wei's body!
Such immense and terrifying pain has surpassed the limits of human exploration, yet Li Wei, relying on his title as the most ruthless person in the Foundation Establishment realm, perfectly contained this pain within his body.

In the clash between spirit and curse, Livy's soul and will acted like a purification net, making these pains incredibly pure, almost as perfect as the purest crystallization of pain.

To gain power, was Livy even willing to abandon everything and turn himself into hell?

What a crazy and unruly will this is!
The self-sacrificing demon was moved to tears by Livy's suffering, experiencing the great resilience of the human mind as if on a pilgrimage, and worshipping "Livy" himself with almost piety!
It's important to understand that for ordinary cultivators to ascend to godhood, they need to progress step by step from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation. However, the advancement method of inner demons is unique, and the cultivation template for ordinary cultivators simply cannot be applied to them.

At this moment, as the self-sacrificing demon actively entered Li Wei's mind and personally came into contact with Li Wei's mind, which had been tempered by infinite pain, he suddenly had an epiphany and touched a realm he had never touched before!

Demon God!!
He has already seen the path to the Demon God!

The self-sacrificing demon then became even more frantic in its exploration of Li Wei's mind, constantly sinking into that pain!
But not enough!

I still can't fully understand this mindset, can't fully imitate this mindset, or possess this mindset!
Moreover, Li Wei's pain is also dissolving the existence of the self-sacrificing demon itself. If this continues, will we miss this opportunity?

The self-sacrificing demon gradually became impatient.

"Why, why, even though I'm so close to his heart, am I still unable to undergo a transformation?"

The voice of the Great Sage Mara appeared once more, striking his mind like a resounding bell: "[Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself, why can't you let go of everything else?]"

The self-sacrificing demon shuddered and suddenly had an epiphany.

"So this is what it means to abandon everything and become a demon!"

The self-sacrificing demon finally gave up all resistance, willingly dissolving itself into Li Wei's mind, allowing Li Wei to destroy, decompose, assimilate, and temper itself!

then,

The self-sacrificing demon has vanished!

However, a "brand new demon god" who has ascended to the ranks of the Heavenly Demons has appeared!

However, this is not the complete form of the Demon God. In order to rise from the mortal realm to the ranks of the Heavenly Demons, the Self-Sacrificing Demon has already given up everything. At this moment, he has no power at all and cannot have any effect on Li Wei.

Seeing this, the Dark Web immediately laughed: [Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Bo Xun! This time, the Self-Sacrificing Demon has not only abandoned his own self, but also the outcome of this gamble, abandoning everything! This will be an incomparably pure demon god!]

Mara smiled as he plucked a flower, his face showing neither sorrow nor joy.
