Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 99, Section 98: The Road to Lust is Long and Deep

Xiao Qingfeng, as a cultivator in the Kaiyang Realm, also cultivated the Path of Rebirth, which is one of the paths that symbolizes the power of "life". Rebirth from a drop of blood and the revival of withered trees are not difficult for him.

However, Xiao Qingfeng took the initiative to sever his own life.

In order to curse Lu Changyuan, he gave up everything, and the consequences of this were extremely terrifying.

Lu Changyuan didn't even have time to make any effective defenses.

His cultivation level is not yet at the fifth realm, he has not yet comprehended his own path, and he is not a physical cultivator with a strong physique.

Almost the instant Xiao Qingfeng exploded, a thin, yet deep black line was abruptly imprinted on his skin.

Immediately afterwards, the black lines seemed to come alive, spreading at an alarming speed and covering his entire body in the blink of an eye.

If the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique" still existed, that would be wonderful.

This thought flashed through Lu Changyuan's mind.

He felt as if every inch of his skin was being tightly bound by invisible ropes, growing tighter and tighter, threatening to strangle him. His throat felt as if it were filled with lead, and he could barely breathe. The suffocating sensation, accompanied by the excruciating pain of his internal organs being crushed, surged through him like waves.

"How are you?" Mei Zhaozhao's voice was filled with obvious worry as she approached from a distance.

Lu Changyuan raised one hand with difficulty, his five fingers slightly spread, signaling her to stop.

"cough!"

He suddenly bent over, and a mouthful of thick, ominous black blood spurted from his throat, falling onto the dark ground.

"do not come."

Mei Zhaozhao froze, hovering in mid-air, somewhat at a loss.

Stab it!

A sound of flesh being forcibly torn came from Lu Changyuan's body, followed by a muffled "bang," as if something tightly connected had been forcibly snapped.

Lu Changyuan groaned, knelt on one knee with his sword in hand, and looked down at his chest in disbelief.

There, at some unknown time, a hole the size of a bowl had appeared, completely empty inside.

"Young Master Lu!" Mei Zhaozhao's exclamation suddenly rose, her voice trembling with fear.

"Don't make a sound, you won't die."

The way of the Underworld Lord is death. Lu Changyuan temporarily assumes the power of the Underworld Lord. He cannot die in the Underworld Kingdom. Xiao Qingfeng saw this, which is why he desperately self-destructed.

Why would someone risk self-destruction to severely injure Lu Changyuan?
Lu Changyuan slowly stood up, feeling a cool breeze blowing across his chest.

A mere fatal wound.

It's not actually that fatal. A cultivator can survive without a heart, not to mention that the Netherworld Qi has already begun to slowly nurture Lu Changyuan's flesh and blood.

You are about to die

The chilling reminder resurfaced in my mind.

Xiao Qingfeng is gone, how could I possibly die?
"Violent!"

A sharp, piercing cry, piercing straight to the soul, exploded without warning!

Lu Changyuan turned around abruptly. The sound came from the birdcage that had fallen to the ground during his fight with Xiao Qingfeng not long ago.

Sometime later, the birdcage had overturned, the black cloth covering it had fallen to the side, and the cage was now empty.

wind!
Without warning, the chilling wind suddenly turned violent, carrying the deathly aura of the underworld, and finally gathered in the sky.

Lu Changyuan and Mei Zhaozhao looked up at the same time and saw a red bird with feathers as red as blood above the dark sky of the Underworld.

creak.

creak.

The chilling chewing sounds reached their ears clearly.

It was clearly a bird eating, yet it strangely stirred up the most primal hunger in Lu Changyuan and Mei Zhaozhao's hearts.

Lu Changyuan suppressed the strange feeling and squinted. He finally saw clearly what the red bird was eating: a bright red, still-beating heart.

My heart?

"what is that?"

Mei Zhaozhao's voice tightened; the aura emanating from the red bird made her instinctively feel fear and disgust.

Lu Changyuan's expression was extremely solemn as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly: "Desire Demon."

The strangeness I sensed in the room earlier was not an illusion.

The emotions that Su Youwan had sealed away in the birdcage, those that had been materialized, were most susceptible to the influence of lust.

If it were Xiu Taishang, he should have killed the birds in the cage, but Su Youwan did not, and now a problem has indeed arisen.

Lu Changyuan snapped back to his senses and asked in a deep voice, "Did you control Xiao Qingfeng to self-destruct?"

Xiao Qingfeng's final state, with his crazed appearance and bloodshot eyes, was completely unlike that of a normal person.

He cultivated the Path of Transformation because he wanted to live, so how could he give up his life and self-destruct?

The only explanation is that Xiao Qingfeng has been controlled.

Yes, since falling from the Yao Guang realm, the four hundred years of obsession and torment have already caused cracks in his Dao heart. Before, Xiao Qingfeng was half a step into the Yao Guang realm and was immune to the lust demons. Now that he has fallen to the Kai Yang realm, he is indeed very vulnerable to being invaded by the lurking lust demons.

The redbird slowly finished eating Lu Changyuan's entire scarlet heart and let out a very cheerful cry.

Wind blows.

The enormous bird body suddenly contracted, transforming into a red shadow no bigger than a fist in the crimson light, and rushed straight towards Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan was just about to raise his sword to meet the attack.

Boom!
A sudden, unprecedentedly loud noise rang in his ears.

Not only that, with a bang, Lu Changyuan's left eye exploded, and scarlet blood dripped down his cheek.

Lu Changyuan suddenly discovered that half of his body was unable to move.

You have been corrupted by lust.

In an instant, the bird arrived.

However, the bird did not harm Lu Changyuan. Instead, it leaped into Lu Changyuan's body and firmly occupied the place where Lu Changyuan's heart should be on his chest.

"Young Master Lu!"

Lu Changyuan knelt on the ground, gripping the edge of his chest tightly, his fingers turning white from the force, trying to pull out the red bird that occupied the space of his heart.

Not moving.

This bird seemed to be his heart, an unnatural fit.

The next moment, Lu Changyuan's only remaining right eye was also completely swallowed by the crimson, and a monstrous demonic energy erupted from his body!
The gray of the sky was replaced by a thick, dark black, as if the entire underworld was being forcibly stained into the shape of a demonic kingdom by the demonic energy emanating from Lu Changyuan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sky over the Tianshan Mountains, which had been a clear, bright blue, suddenly darkened.

The bone-scraping wind blew everything up.

The Daoist sect leader's voice immediately resounded throughout the entire Tianshan Mountain: "All disciples, close your caves! Those at the fifth realm and above, come to the summit of Tianshan Mountain!"

Accompanied by repeated shouts of "Yes, sir!"

All the Taoist disciples transformed into streams of light and rushed up to the mountain peak.

Jiang Jiayi squinted and turned to Xia Lianxue, saying, "I have to go too."

Xia Lianxue also looked up at the sky: "What happened?"

"I don't know, but it's probably related to lust."

The little fairy in the white dress nodded, and then watched as Jiang Jiayi transformed into a red light and rushed into the mountain peak.

Qiu Yuehan walked over: "Junior sister? Aren't you going to help?"

Xia Lianxue shook her head: "My injuries haven't healed yet. Besides, with Jiang Jiayi and the Daoist sect leader here, it doesn't make much difference whether I'm here or not."

That being said, Xia Lianxue was prepared to help at any time. She wasn't going now simply because she felt it was unnecessary to interfere in matters of the Daoist sect.

Qiu Yuehan put down her sword, a hint of worry flashing across her cool face.

She had just felt a strange palpitation, so she touched her magic runes.

I hope the old monster will be alright.

He'll definitely be fine. He's so strong, and his mind is incredibly deep.

Xia Lianxue suddenly touched her chest and felt a sharp pain.

She looked somewhat confused, then softly asked, "Young Master?"

Qiu Yuehan's expression remained unchanged: "It will be alright."

"Ah."

Xia Lianxue always believed that Lu Changyuan's strength was divine, and that he could walk on flat ground even in the most dangerous places.

It's illogical, but she just believes it.

The fairy in the white dress spoke softly, changing the subject: "Since Senior Sister has connections with the Spirit Clan, why don't you go back for a visit sometime soon?"

Qiu Yuehan responded with an "okay," but her mind was preoccupied with the old monster, so she didn't hear what Xia Lianxue said at all.

~~~~~~~~
Jiang Jiayi arrived at the mountain peak in the blink of an eye.

On the snow-covered white mountaintop, several elders were already waiting. Without further orders from the sect leader, they could only wait outside the main hall.

"Vice Sect Master, what happened?"

Jiang Jiayi waved her hand, she was also a little puzzled at this moment, this show of force was a bit too much.

"I'll go in and ask her."

In just a few breaths, the innate sword body turned into red light and instantly entered the back hall.

Unlike before, that slender figure was no longer lying on her side, but standing straight, leaving only her back view.

Moreover, the three-foot-six-inch sword had already been drawn and was even firmly held in the hand of the Daoist Master.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiayi frowned.

Something big has happened.

"What happened?"

The Daoist Master, now wearing a gilded mask, said calmly, "The Desire Demon has come down. I had anticipated this. It seems the Jade Palace incident was its test."

Jiang Jiayi's voice suddenly turned icy: "Does the main body want to come down?"

"I exchanged blows with it, and only saw half of its body."

"It's troublesome."

If what comes down is a clone of the lustful demon.

This is a minor matter; the Daoist sect leader could kill him with a single sword strike.

If the demonic creatures that come down are all of them, it's not a big problem. The Daoist sect leader here can naturally strike them back.

But what came down was only half of the body.

What about the other half of the body?
The Daoist Master's voice was icy: "I watch over the world day and night; there shouldn't be any cultivator capable of bearing the other half of the Desire Demon's body."

If the lustful demon wants to bypass the Heavenly Mountain and descend to earth, it can only seek out a human cultivator, induce him to become possessed, and then devour the cultivator's will to sneak into the human world.

However, the Desire Demon's rank is too high and its strength too great. Even a Yao Guang cultivator should not be able to bear half of the Desire Demon's body.

think about it.

When Su Wuxiang fell into demonic possession, the power of the lustful demon only decreased by a hundred percent at most, let alone that of others.

Most of the time, those cultivators who fall into demonic possession are being devoured by the demons of desire, rather than the demons of desire possessing them and descending into the world.

"If we really let it come down, the problem will be huge." Jiang Jiayi's expression was also solemn: "So you're in such a hurry to gather your disciples, is it for the sake of vanquishing the demons?"

The Daoist sect leader did not speak, but stared intently at the sky.

"If it really did sneak half of itself down here, we'll turn the whole world upside down to find it."

Jiang Jiayi also looked up at the sky along with the Daoist sect leader: "But if it really found someone who can carry half of its body, it must have been planning for many years and tried every means to find someone, so it must not be easy."

The Daoist sect leader said softly, "But this is also an opportunity."

Jiang Jiayi turned around abruptly: "What are you doing?!"

A token was given to Jiang Jiayi.

The Daoist sect leader drew his sword and ascended into the sky: "It only has half of its body in the Outer Heaven. Now is the perfect opportunity to severely damage it. I'm giving you the sect leader's order: if things go wrong, begin the demon-slaying campaign at any time."

"You are crazy!"

The Taoist master did not turn around.

The three-foot-six-inch longsword unleashed a whistling sword aura that sliced ​​and shattered the entire cloud layer.

The mysterious techniques rose up in layers from the sword.

The two cold words were uttered by the master of the Taoist sect.

"Taiyi!"

The universe is divided into Yin and Yang, and Taiyi reappears.

The Daoist sect leader, alone with his sword, charged into the Outer Heavens.
