Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

[He is a saint, not a demon; a celestial being who has transcended tribulation.]

"Nothing to be surprised about!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou chuckled and said, "At the beginning of chaos, those top-tier Chaos Gods, relying on the affiliation of other Chaos Gods, were already comparable to the Three-Proof Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Although my strength is not as great as Pangu's, I can still rank among the top ten Chaos Gods!"

"Moreover, although I have relinquished my identities as a Heavenly Sage and the Originator of the Demonic Path, my insights into the Heavenly Path and the Demonic Path remain!"

With a thought, a surge of demonic energy erupted, transforming into a nascent form of the Heavenly Dao, which in turn evolved into the origin of the Demonic Dao.

"This is—the Demonic Heaven's Path!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was able to become a Heavenly Dao Saint without relying on the Primordial Purple Qi. Luo Hou had been the dark side of the Heavenly Dao for twenty eras. Even if he was not as good as Dao Ancestor Hongjun in his understanding of the Great Dao, it was not difficult for him to evolve the Heavenly Dao and the Demonic Dao with his own power!

Xuan Yin's current evolution into the origin of the demonic path still requires the support of the dark aspects of the four paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God to attain the status of the ancestor of the demonic path. However, at the level of Hongjun and Luo Hou, their Great Dao no longer needs any living beings or any branch of the Great Dao to support them!

To Xuan Yin's astonishment, the aura of the Great Dao of Destruction, the Great Dao of Annihilation, and the Great Dao of Darkness manifested on Luo Hou's body, as if it were a chaotic universe of its own.

At this moment, Rahu manifested the Great Dao, seemingly the source of all Daos. Although his physical body had not yet escaped the confines of the chaotic universe...

It is a framework, but it has already obtained exemptions from the chaotic universe.

If we consider the entire chaotic universe as a supreme monarch, then Rahu at this moment is undoubtedly a feudal lord who has carved out his own territory.

Although on the surface he is still a subject of the will of the chaotic universe, the will of the chaotic universe cannot govern him, this vassal king. This results in Rahu being able to disregard the will of the chaotic universe and violate its rules to a certain extent.

Although Luo Hou's current aura is only comparable to a three-proof Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he has actually begun to understand the principle of transcendence!

Having great personal strength and transcending the chaotic universe are actually two different things. It is not that the stronger one is, the easier it is to transcend—otherwise, the sages would not have thought of seeking emptiness through reduction!

According to the deductions of the sages, as long as certain conditions are met, even a person who has only attained the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal has a chance to transcend!

However, if certain conditions are not met and one is bound by the Great Dao of Chaos, even if you are a powerful being comparable to Pangu, capable of easily tearing apart chaos, it will be difficult to reach the realm of transcendence!

The so-called transcendence is to be free from any constraints and to be above everything. All tangible and named things, such as identity or realm, are themselves a kind of constraint.

In the understanding of the sages, transcendence means being able to define everything at will, easily rewrite all the rules in the chaotic universe, and reshape all beings' understanding of the Great Dao and the realm.

As long as the transcendent being is willing, he can be at any realm, and can even directly overturn several cultivation bodies in the Primordial True World.

system.

For example, in the Immortal Path, one can make the Great Luo Golden Immortal the first realm of cultivation, and also make Qi Refining and Deity Transformation the highest realm that countless cultivators yearn for—however, what kind of Qi the Qi Refining cultivators were cultivating at that time is unknown!

Perhaps it's the primordial purple aura!

Perhaps it is the primordial primordial energy!

Listening to Luo Hou's explanation, Xuan Yin seemed to have an understanding: "Being in it, yet the Dao is outside of it, is this the principle of transcendence?"

'

Xuan Yin himself, and his Great Dao, have not escaped the framework of the Chaotic Universe. No matter how strong he is, he cannot change this fact. As for Luo Hou—although he himself has not yet escaped the framework and constraints of the Chaotic Universe, his Great Dao has already escaped it!

This is the biggest difference between the two!

"Pretty much the same, I guess!"

Luo Hou stood with his hands behind his back, neither denying nor denying, but merely chuckled, "However, now you are the true origin of the primordial demonic path—the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!"

"Don't get it wrong!"

"And I am merely a passerby who happened to be here, saw you bewildered by the Great Dao of the Chaotic Universe, and had a brief conversation with you."

!

'

"You can call me Luo Tian!"

The former Rahu, now Luo Tian, ​​chuckled and continued, "Now, I request that you return my Shattered Universe Seal, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin, though extremely reluctant, could only take out the Shattered Universe Seal: "You wouldn't be thinking of reforging the World-Destroying Millstone, would you?"

'

In the past, in order to prove his Dao, Luo Hou dared to conceive the idea of ​​reversing the primordial true world.

Now, in order to transcend, Luo Tian might not hesitate to reshape the Great Millstone of Annihilation and use it to grind away this chaotic universe!

Don't worry!

Luo Tian shook his head: "I'm not that stupid. Even if I were to rebuild the Great Millstone of Annihilation, I wouldn't do it before that guy Pangu creates the Second Primordial World and merges the two Primordial True Realms!"

If he really does that, perhaps, just as the Great Millstone of Annihilation reappears in chaos, a divine axe that opens the heavens will fly down from the upper reaches of the river of time!

If Pangu could shatter the world-destroying millstone once, he could shatter it a second time!

Of course, in pursuit of transcendence and to enhance his strength, he will definitely recreate the World-Destroying Millstone at some point in the future!

In his view, the best time would be when Pangu's plan fails and the entire chaotic universe faces an immeasurable calamity!

After obtaining the Shattered Universe Seal, Luo Tian left the Primordial True Realm. It is unknown whether he was preparing to go to the depths of the Chaotic Universe to find Pangu's Divine Split or to find other fragments of the Great Millstone of Annihilation.

Looking at the place where Luo Hou left, Xuan Yin remained silent for a long time. As a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal who had only attained enlightenment in this era, his foundation was far inferior to that of Hongjun, Luo Hou, and others!

Although he used various tricks to greatly improve his strength and even achieved the second proof of Hunyuan Daluo before Yuanshi Tianzun, he was a complete novice when it came to transcendence!

However, he wasn't in a hurry!

Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun and others spent twenty epochs without succeeding in transcending, so why should a cultivator who has just attained enlightenment be in such a hurry?

It would be best if Pangu, Hongjun, Luohou, and others could transcend before him, so that he could refer to their path to transcendence!

Even if everyone fails, it doesn't matter; it will only help him avoid the wrong path!

In his view, it is not a bad thing to have a sage standing on the opposite side of him. Appropriate struggle can make thinking and the great way collide and help him to climb the great way!

With the timeline converging and Rahu leaving the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm can now be described as completely transformed.

Or rather, the current demon realm is nearly ten times larger than the demon realm of the past.

In particular, the abyss world, which was opened up by the gods, has now become part of the demon realm.

Moreover, more than a dozen great worlds have appeared around the Demon Realm, all created by powerful demonic cultivators under Xuan Yin Mo.

For example, the Heavenly Demon Realm created by the Heavenly Demon, the Earthly Demon Realm created by the Earthly Demon, and the Creation Demon Realm evolved by the Creation Heavenly Demon using the Great Dao of Creation —

Even the supervisory soldiers opened up a Tiger Demon Realm between the White Tiger Realm and the Demon Realm, serving as a transit point between the two realms, and even actively encouraged some of the tiger clan to cultivate the demonic path!

The Demon Realm has now begun to take shape as a true realm. As the number of powerful demonic cultivators continues to increase, the number of worlds surrounding the Demon Realm will inevitably increase as well!

Now that Xuan Yin had become the originator of the demonic path, he naturally needed to manage it properly, and directly announced that he would preach the Great Dao at the Heavenly Demon Palace in the Demon Realm.

In an instant, all demons came to pay homage!

"What a magnificent origin of demonic cultivation!"

Nuwa's incarnation, the Creator Demon, was the first to descend upon the Demon Palace: "Now, the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, and Gods have all become nourishment for the Demonic Path, truly possessing a grand and impartial spirit!"

Others may not be able to see through the true nature of the Heavenly Demon Palace, but Nuwa, as a sage, could easily discover that the Heavenly Demon Palace had become a place where all paths converge.

With the dark sides of the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God merging into one, the current Demon Realm is more than ten times more powerful in its origin than the Demon Realm of the past.

Nuwa herself has benefited greatly from integrating the dark side of the earth into the demonic path. She is now an original shareholder of the demonic path. It can be said that her power in the demonic path is second only to Xuan Yin, and is even slightly higher than Jian Bing and Shen Ni, who have gained the favor of the demonic path, were born in response to calamities, and whose great Dao is in harmony with the mysteries of the demonic path. They are destined to become saints of the demonic path in the future.

In fact, as the timeline converges, the origin of the demonic path continues to strengthen, and the demonic path is now capable of supporting new saints!

However, Jianbing, Shenni, and Nuwa were not in a hurry to take that step!

The Creation Demon looked at Xuan Yin and laughed, "Now that you are the new Demon Ancestor, have you considered where you intend to lead the demonic path?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Yuanshi Tianzun and the others were defeated this time. By becoming the Demon Ancestor, you've essentially placed yourself in opposition to the Immortal and Buddhist paths. Although the Divine and Human paths haven't fully evolved yet, and your relationship with Donghuang Taiyi and Fuxi is alright, you still have to consider the future!"

At this moment, Xuan Yin can be considered the originator of the demonic path, but he can also be considered an enemy of all paths.

Inheriting the Dao Fruit of Rahu and integrating the dark sides of the four paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God certainly elevated the demonic path to an unprecedented level. However, the demonic path is still the demonic path, and in the years to come, it will inevitably become the target of blame-shifting by many saints, great supernatural beings, and great Luo Immortals.

No matter what happens in the Primordial Realm, it can always be blamed on the Demonic Path. Xuan Yin, the Demon Ancestor, is the biggest scapegoat in the Primordial Realm!

"Isn't this exactly what I wanted?"

Xuan Yin remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was secretly delighted. As long as the benefits were right, he didn't mind taking the blame for someone else.

His preparation of the three proofs of cause and effect was precisely to use the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to transform the Great Dao insights of the person who was making him take the blame into his own use, wasn't it?

Moreover, his reputation in the Primordial Realm wasn't much better to begin with, so what impact would taking on a few more undeserved blame have?

Even with a bad reputation—

Could it be any worse than Rahu was before?

Furthermore, strength is the foundation of one's existence in the Primordial True World. As long as one is strong enough, even if one does something that is morally reprehensible and despised by the world, there will naturally be great scholars in the vast Primordial True World to defend him!

However, he can't be blamed for nothing; he should at least receive some benefits!

Therefore, after hearing the analysis of the Creation Demon, he still decided to announce some things to all living beings in the prehistoric world after the sermon ended.

The reason why Nuwa, Shenni, and Jianbing did not immediately become demonic saints was probably because they wanted to see his choice, to see how this new demonic ancestor would define the demonic path, and where he would lead the future of the demonic path.

The rebellion of the gods is not a big deal, but Jianbing is one of the Four Supreme Saints, and Nuwa is both a Saint of Heaven and a Saint of Earth, as well as the Holy Mother of Humanity. She still has to care about her reputation to some extent!

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed. During these three thousand years, Xuan Yin preached the Great Dao in the Heavenly Demon Palace, earnestly explaining his understanding of the Demonic Path.

"The path of demons is also the path of trials!"

"I created the demonic path to temper all living beings and delay the arrival of immeasurable eons, not to stand in opposition to them!"

"For us demonic beings, the various desires in the hearts of sentient beings, such as greed, anger, and ignorance, are undoubtedly the best resources for cultivation!"

"Therefore, the claims of annihilating all living beings and reversing the primordial chaos are utter nonsense—it's just some malicious individuals slandering the demonic path!"

At the end of his sermon, Xuan Yin looked at the many Great Freedom Heavenly Demons and great demonic masters gathered in the Heavenly Demon Palace, and then slowly began to redefine the future of the demonic path.

Others may stigmatize the demonic path, but for him, the Demon Ancestor, the demonic path must be a sacred path that can bring benefits to the Primordial True World.

"yes!"

The demons all nodded in agreement.

Of course, some people scoffed at it, arguing that the demonic path takes all living beings as its sustenance, so why make it sound so grand?

However, they dared not reveal their true nature in front of Xuan Yin, a saint of the demonic path.

After giving his sermon, Xuan Yin did not hesitate. He entrusted all the affairs of the Demon Realm, large and small, to Shen Ni, the future Demon Saint, and then returned directly to the Primordial True Realm.

Upon returning to the prehistoric world, he heard some unfavorable comments about himself. Some powerful immortals even gave him an extremely unpleasant title, something like "World-Calamity Demon Lord"!

Even after he returned to Jin'ao Island, some outer disciples and nominal disciples of the Jie Sect looked at him with extremely strange eyes.

Upon learning of this, Duobao jokingly exclaimed, "We pay our respects to the Demon Lord of Calamity!"

Xuan Yin looked helpless. Even without using the Dao of Cause and Effect to deduce, he knew that this title was undoubtedly the work of the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

Public opinion can be devastating, and accumulated slander can damage one's reputation. As a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, he became the Demon Ancestor and the Calamity Demon Lord who intimidated the Primordial True World, which affected the reputation of the Jie Sect in the Primordial World.

Even some disciples of the Jie Sect, failing to see the scheme behind it, followed the rumors circulating in the Primordial Realm and called him the Three Calamities Demon Lord!

"Let me explain!"

Thinking of this, he shook his head and, using the authority of a Heavenly Dao Saint, declared to all living beings in the Primordial True Realm: "What 'World-Calamity Demon Lord'? I do not accept this title!"

Duobao and the others were immediately stunned.

Even the sacred sites of Kunjin Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, Qianmi Mountain, and the Netherworld couldn't help but cast a few slightly surprised glances.

"I am not on the demonic path, but on the righteous path. All my efforts in supporting the front lines are entirely for the benefit of all sentient beings!"

"The Heavenly Tribulation is a screening process by the Three Realms to select cultivators in the Primordial True World. It allows cultivators with accumulated merit to advance further, while those burdened by karmic debts perish under the Heavenly Tribulation, causing the spiritual energy they absorbed to return to the Primordial World, thus delaying the arrival of the immeasurable calamity!"

Xuan Yin declared righteously, "The Demonic Path is also the Path of Trial, the supreme holy path created by San Ning to temper all living beings in the primordial world—everything I have done is for the sake of the Three Realms of the Primordial World!"

"That name of the Calamity Demon Lord is clearly a slander against me by the Demon Lord Yuan Diao!"

His voice suddenly became incredibly impassioned, even tinged with heartache and indignation, as if he hated the beings of the primordial world for being deceived by villains: "People of the world, remember this: I, Xuan Yin, am the true successor of the Xuanmen sect, the Heavenly Venerable Mao Jie who has tempered countless beings in the primordial world and delayed the arrival of immeasurable calamities!"

"My heart is as clear as day!"

"I believe that one day, all living beings in the primordial world will understand my good intentions!"
