Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

Chapter 110 Urban Life: Ascension? NO!

It can be said that everything in the world today is under Loran's control. He possesses the strongest violence in the world, and he also possesses the greatest power in the world.

He has already reached the pinnacle of this planet and this civilization.

However, the Demon Heart is an insatiable heart, and Loran is still striving for progress.

According to Sha Yuan's memories, demonic cultivation begins after a human demon (i.e., after opening the ancestral aperture purple palace), and can be divided into earth demons, immortal god demons, and finally heavenly demons.

If we use the analogy of the nine stages of the Golden Core in the Immortal Path, the Human Demon is equivalent to the stage from the initial formation of the Golden Core to the second stage, the Earth Demon is equivalent to the stage from the third to the sixth stage, the Undying God Demon is equivalent to the stage from the seventh to the eighth stage, and the Heavenly Demon corresponds to the ninth stage of the Immortal Path, the Ascension Realm.

In her previous life, Shen Ke was a peak Earth Demon who had already touched upon the "immortality" of an Undying God-Demon. However, she was hunted down by an Immortal of the Eighth Rank, who was equivalent to a peak Undying God-Demon, and thus met with great calamity.

Previously, Shen Ke, who regained his magical power with the help of a magic weapon, was equivalent to the early stage of the Human Demon realm, while the other Celestials were equivalent to a crippled Human Demon. Even if they cultivated to the Profound Realm, they had only made up for some shortcomings by accumulating time and mastered some mysteries that should belong to the Human Demon realm. It would not be difficult for Shen Ke to kill them.

Because of the Five Emperors Great Demon God Body, Loran was close to the perfection of the human-demon stage when he first formed the Purple Mansion. This is because the human-demon stage is about using magic power to refine the imperfect parts of the physical body and cultivate the perfect spirit, thus cultivating demonic light.

The first and second stages of the Immortal Path are also known as the Precious Pearl Realm and the Divine Pearl Realm, where one achieves the perfection of human immortality and cultivates a protective immortal aura.

Previously, Loran simply lacked knowledge about cultivation beyond the Purple Mansion. After receiving knowledge from Chen Ke as a supplement, he quickly filled in the gaps, and a pure white, unblemished light of the Heavenly Demon Great Freedom emerged from the Purple Mansion.

This Heavenly Demon Great Freedom Light is to cultivators above the Purple Mansion level what the Outer Qi is to martial artists. With a sweep of the demonic light, it can sweep away the supernatural powers and spells of cultivators who have not yet generated divine light.

If I had mastered such techniques when fighting Shen Ke, I probably could have ended the battle within ten moves.

The Realm of Earthly Demons, despite its name, has little to do with the earth. It was simply a name borrowed from the concept of "Earthly Immortals" from the Immortal Path by the Demonic Path's founder, who used it for convenience when naming cultivation realms in the Demonic Path.

If one were to cultivate based on the concept of "realm," a large number of aspiring demonic cultivators would likely be tricked to death. Of course, this might be a tradition within the demonic path, since everyone has tacitly passed it down, and no one can accuse anyone of being a liar.

Some demonic cultivators have speculated that the name "Earth Demon" was chosen by the founder of the Earth Demon Path to deceive more novice demonic cultivators into comprehending the Earth Demon Path.

The core essence of "Earth Demon" cultivation is to cultivate "immortality," which is the characteristic of the "Immortal God Demon" realm. When one reaches the "Immortal God Demon" realm, the core essence of cultivation is "transcendence," placing one's own mind above the minds of all beings in order to obtain the "Heavenly Demon" Dao fruit. This is different from the "transcendence" of the Immortal Dao.

The transcendence of the immortal path is a state of being that transcends the mundane world and escapes the three realms and five elements. Those who cultivate immortality pursue a state of purity and freedom, far removed from the disturbances and troubles of the mortal world.

However, the transcendence of the demonic path differs from that of the immortal path. Beyond transcending the Three Realms and Five Elements, the demonic path is imbued with a sense of "self-attachment." This attachment to the self means that even those who achieve the position of "Heavenly Demon" still mingle within the mortal world.

Although the celestial demons see through the emptiness of the mortal world, they do not regard the "self" as nothingness like the Mahayana Buddhists. On the contrary, they acknowledge their own existence and enjoy the joys and sorrows of the mortal world in a unique way. However, they are not troubled by the troubles of the mortal world because they have transcended these worldly constraints.

Compared to the Arhats, who also deny the emptiness of the "self," the demonic path differs. While Arhats seek purity through Nirvana, the demonic path clings to worldly attachments. Although they have come to terms with some things, they are unwilling to completely let go, existing in a state between acceptance and inability to let go.

Loran was contemplating his future. Should he try to break through the void and ascend to Chen Ke's other world?

Loran shook his head. Chen Ke's arrival in this world was purely a coincidence of the void. In the River Styx, void passages rise and fall like waves every moment; the randomness and danger were too great, and Loran didn't want to gamble.

More importantly, after obtaining the complete inheritance from Chen Ke's soul, Chen Ke's world held far less appeal for Loran. Just another world? Loran could communicate with other worlds anytime; who knows, one day a Loran from a fantasy or immortal world might appear in the Heaven of Free Transformation.

Therefore, the so-called Lesser Yama Realm did not hold much appeal for Loran. Moreover, due to the infiltration of the laws of another world, this universe was entering a so-called "spiritual energy revival" phase, and the concentration of spiritual energy in this universe was likely to increase further, ensuring that he would not lack spiritual energy for his cultivation.

Why not become the leader of the spiritual energy revival in this world and create an interstellar cultivation era where people "ride the light of escape, traverse the starry sky, and use magical treasures to shatter stars"?

This is the perfect opportunity to manipulate the world into our own shape.

Single-player AAA games are just as awesome as online games!

With this in mind, Loran had a flood of ideas.

He could easily play both roles: I am the ancestor who opened the path, and I am also the demon who obstructs it. Only the immortal path emphasizes restraint, while the demonic path only says, "I want it all."

Then I can solidify my identity as the Five Emperors Demon King. From then on, all cultivators will have to come to me for exams. Hehehe, I will be the eternal examiner.

In her previous life, she had always been the one being proctored, but now she was the one proctoring. The excitement brought by this change in identity made Loran feel incredibly good.

Loran suddenly came to his senses. In Taoism, where did the Five Demon Kings come from?

It seems that the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself intervened, transforming into the Demon-Slaying General to subdue a group of ferocious gods from the beginning of creation. These ancient evil gods were then given official status and became the Five Great Demon Emperors.

Loran sighed, "I'm still too green to be a demon like this. Look at how the righteous ones do it; that's what it means to have it both on the black and white."

It's just a black glove, isn't it? It's just a matter of sending out an avatar or clone; they can use it to demonstrate their power and virtue. How did the Bright King come to be? Does the Buddha also have fire? They make it sound so grand.

At that time, he will play the role of the Celestial Venerable while simultaneously sending down an incarnation, the Heavenly Demon. He will say that the Heavenly Demon is the incarnation of this Celestial Venerable who has taken on the negative aspects of the universe and is seeking merit for all people.

You who were dragged into the demonic path by the Heavenly Demon are all because your hearts are not firm. What does that have to do with me?

You said you're not satisfied and you want to appeal?

Who is standing below, and why are you accusing this Heavenly Venerable?

As for those who have benefited enough from the demonic path and want to go ashore and launder their money, is that also possible? It's just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other under a different skin. At that time, I, the Celestial Venerable, will just charge you a small fee for going ashore and laundering your money.

Thinking of this, Loran cut his finger, forcing out several streams of divine blood, and his celestial magic power surged out to envelop the divine blood.

Under the regenerative power of divine blood, an incarnation of Loran appeared, bearing a striking resemblance to Loran but exuding an even more sinister and malevolent aura.

Using his unrestrained and ever-changing celestial magic, Loran transformed himself, instantly dispelling his original demonic aura and replacing it with extremely pure Five Elements Dao Qi.

Loran laughed and pointed at the avatar.

"From now on, you are the Demon Ancestor Luo Chuan, and I am the Dao Ancestor Luo Lan."

Chapter 111 The Godslayer: Survivor of Yinshan

"Boss, please give me a hug."

Upon arriving in the city of "Heaven of Freedom," urban Loran was greeted by a newcomer who clung to his coattails. Urban Loran examined the memories they had shared and was somewhat surprised.

"Godslayer, it's actually this old anime?"

“You’re in luck. I suggest you sweep through the Netherworld and delve into mythology. First, seize Mara’s title of ‘Son of Mara’.”

"Wait, who did you possess? The sect that was wiped out by the Five Hells Holy Sect? The Yin Ghost Sect? Doesn't sound like a good guy?"

Urban Loran was a little surprised. Offending Luo Hao at the beginning, are you intentionally increasing the difficulty of the game?

"The Five Prisons Holy Sect was destroyed, but it wasn't Luo Hao who gave the order. That old hag Luo Hao has been neglecting her duties for years, hiding in Mount Lu pretending to be a hermit. The Five Prisons Holy Sect is full of demons and monsters."

"For example, the Lu family in Hong Kong, because their young master is a disciple of Luo Hao, almost controls the entire Five Prisons Holy Sect in the south. From the underworld to the legitimate world, everyone is inferior to the Lu family, and they are extremely arrogant."

"As far as Luo Hao is concerned, as long as the Five Prisons Holy Sect can obey her orders, she doesn't care what the Five Prisons Holy Sect does in the meantime." Godslayer Loran was somewhat disdainful of Luo Hao. With the heroes of 'Hehua Zizaitian' backing him up, he was not afraid of offending any of the damned Five Prisons Holy Sect.

"And don't be fooled by the fact that this Yin Gui Sect looks like a demonic sect. It's actually a branch of the Yin Shan Sect, although the Yin Shan Sect is inherently a bit sinister."

New Loran is pouring out his grievances to the city of Loran.

"You have no idea what that old hag Luo Hao did. That woman is practically an Empress Dowager Cixi with invincible power."

"What kind of mess has she made of the East? Can you believe it? She's a god-slayer who existed since the Qing Dynasty, and she still managed to make Hong Kong a British colony. She has absolutely no shame."

"This old hag clearly has the power to accelerate the development of civilization, but just because she personally hates modern technology, she would rather stay in seclusion in Mount Lu than let her homeland benefit in the slightest."

"Moreover, because this old hag is extremely feudal and meddlesome in worldly affairs, the country has been unable to have a substantial modern revolution. In addition, her dog-shit Five Hells Holy Sect has allowed a bunch of compradors to flourish, and the Lu family in Hong Kong, where her disciple Lu Yinghua is from, is the number one comprador."

"He's a living embodiment of xxn."

"The person and the sect are just occupying the toilet without doing anything. If someone else had her power of 'a dream of wealth and power,' they would have eliminated famine in the world long ago and entered the interstellar age."

Urban Loran nodded, then turned his head and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

The Godslayer Loran revealed a murderous smile: "What else can be done? How can someone like her be changed?"

"Only kill!"

"Big Boss" Loran, the Godslayer, rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Next, I plan to summon 'Moro King Mara' directly, preparing to kill gods and become a Godslayer. Do you have any suggestions?"

Urban Loran looked at Godslayer Loran with a very strange gaze, leaving Godslayer Loran stunned.

"what happened?"

"Is this kid still Loran? He can't even grasp this." Death God Loran also joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

"That's right, that's right!" This was Douluo Luolan. "What is our Luolan? A Heavenly Demon? You actually want to play some kind of god-slaying game with Pandora? When has Luolan ever followed any framework set by others?"

Hokage Loran reprimanded him in a tone that suggested he was hopelessly incorrigible: "If you insist on following the path of god-slayers created by Pandora and Prometheus, you'll only be able to seize one authority from each slain god. Their true spirit will simply pat its behind and return to the 'Undying Realm' of the Netherworld, and can find another opportunity to descend to the mortal realm next time."

"This is not worth it at all. I worked so hard to kill a god, and now I have to be at Pandora's beck and call, only to end up with a mere power? Would I be reduced to begging on my knees? The demonic path is a winner-takes-all game. Since I've already killed all the disobedient gods, I want everything they have."

At this moment, Loran interrupted.

"Let me give you an example. For instance, you could follow the upgrade path of the Multi-Treasure Celestial Venerable. In my world, there's a technology called 'Divine Armament,' an upgraded version of the 'Divine Mask.' It can forge people's faith in the gods into a magical artifact that can wield the power of the gods."

"Therefore, you can develop a 'Divine Power Magic Treasure Refining Method' based on the technology I remember. In the future, you can directly refine the disobedient gods you find into magic treasures, saving Pandora and the gods from being stingy and only granting them one power."

"Oh right, I made a stupid mistake!" Godslayer Loran suddenly slapped his forehead as if waking from a dream, as if a lightning bolt had struck his mind, making him instantly realize the truth. His eyes widened, and a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face.

Seeing his reaction, Hokage Loran smiled slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face. He gently patted Godslayer Loran's shoulder and said, "It's good that you understand."

This action seemed to open a door to a new world, and Loran the Godslayer's thoughts burst forth like a spring. All sorts of novel ideas and concepts sprang up from his mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes sparkling, as if he couldn't wait to put these new ideas into practice.

"I think I should focus on the Heavenly Demon Divine Power I have mastered, the 'Curse of No Appearance'."

"What is the most distinctive feature of the gods in the world of Godslayer? It is that they have various appearances due to the intricate nature of their myths and legends, and these appearances endow them with power."

“My Heavenly Demonic Power, ‘Formless Ritual,’ allows me to achieve ‘formlessness’ and ‘myriad forms’ in another sense. Why don’t I refine those disobedient gods into one of my own forms?”

"The so-called appearance is a treasure, the appearance is the soul, the appearance is the spirit. As long as I refine those disobedient gods into my appearance, won't I have everything?"

The Heavenly Demon is inherently ever-changing, transforming in countless forms across different divine appearances. Doesn't this perfectly align with the original meaning of the supernatural power "Formless Form"?

One of them, Loran, said, "Brother, the ethereal world you're in really resembles the interior of my place. It's given me a lot of inspiration. If you ever create something amazing, I want to be the first to share it; it'll definitely inspire me."

"Definitely, definitely." Godslayer Loran nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Alright, then let's wish our future Lord of the Netherworld all his dreams come true." Urban Loran offered his blessings with a smile.

"Good brother, I won't say much more. I'll send you a copy of all the divine cores from the Eastern pantheon when the time comes," the Godslayer Loran assured him.

The Godslayer Loranmei has gone offline. I'll finish up things in the East first, and then I'll refine that shameful monkey into one of my avatars.

Chapter 112 Godslayer: The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls

Shanghai, the "Magic City" of the East, is one of the few ports in this closed country that has access to the sea. Just like a certain "Shanghai Bund" in Loran's memory, due to its geographical advantage, it is one of the few cities in the entire East that is full of modern civilization.

Because of the presence of a certain old witch, this ancient country remains as gloomy and desolate as ever.

Although the existence of Luo Hao allowed this country to be spared a little bit of its humiliating colonial history, of course, it was only a little bit.

After all, he was a "peerless genius" who could come up with the idea of ​​handing over the East to the Japanese and letting two Italians manage the extraordinary affairs within the East. His apprentice was also a "great genius" who was willing to give up his almost "crown prince of the East" status because he was obsessed with Kabukicho in Tokyo. You can't expect Luo Hao to come up with any normal ideas.

Some technological achievements from outside the country still flowed into the country through some compradors. These products of the new era seemed out of place with the local feudal backwardness, giving the feeling that the Beiyang warlords had ruled into the 21st century.

"I'm not happy, I'm very unhappy right now."

Loran grabbed a middle-aged man by the neck; the man was bleeding from all seven orifices, and behind him was a sea of ​​fire.

Loran didn't have much interest in the original owner's connection to the Yin Ghost Sect and didn't intend to seek revenge. However, the people who wiped out the sect were determined to eliminate them completely, which annoyed Loran greatly.

Loran chose to send these idiots from the Five Prisons Holy Cult into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

This is a banner about nine feet long, its pole resembling cold, black jade, radiating a chilling light. The banner surface is a grayish-white color, embroidered with numerous eerie black patterns. These patterns twist and writhe on the banner surface as if they were alive, giving one a creepy feeling.

Loran gripped the long banner tightly, feeling its weight and coldness. He swung it sharply. In an instant, the banner hummed in the air, as if it were cheering as it was released.

As the long banner was waved, the vengeful spirits that had been wandering aimlessly in the sea of ​​fire seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, surging towards the banner. They darted through the fire, screaming, desperately trying to break free from the force's hold, but ultimately could not resist and were all drawn into the banner.

As more and more vengeful spirits were absorbed into the long banner, a layer of dark purple malevolent energy began to emanate from it. This energy, like a thick fog, enveloped the banner, making it appear even more sinister and terrifying. The banner's own power also continued to increase, as if it had become the master of this sea of ​​fire.

"Indeed, those who follow the demonic path cannot do without the Myriad Soul Banner!" Loran said with emotion, looking at the long banner in his hand.

"The cult leader... will not let... you go..." the man bleeding from all seven orifices in Loran's hand uttered intermittently.

Loran sneered: "Won't let me go? She should be thinking about whether I'll let her go next!"

With a burst of force from his five fingers, he extinguished the last vestige of life in this branch leader of the Five Hells Holy Sect. With a shake of the Myriad Souls Banner, the branch leader's soul was extracted and entered into the banner, adding power to it.

Loran raised his head, then headed to his little life to deal with that shameful monkey.

The destruction of the Five Hells Holy Sect's branch altars, with no one spared, shook the Eastern Lands. Since the founding of the Five Hells Holy Sect, it had never suffered such a great loss.

After all, putting aside the fact that the Five Prisons Holy Sect has a huge number of superhumans, accounting for nearly 30% of the total in the Eastern Land, the female demon king behind it alone is enough to make anyone who dares to offend the dignity of the Five Prisons Holy Sect back down.

For a moment, the forces in the East were all amazed, wondering whose general this was, that he was so brave!

However, the enraged Five Hells Holy Sect found nothing. The crime scene was like a blank sheet of paper, and no amount of spiritual communication, summoning, or tracing could uncover the murderer.

Starting with their motives, the Five Prisons Holy Sect has always been domineering and has offended countless forces. Even this branch has offended unknown forces. The Yin Ghost Sect is just a small victim of their ruthless methods and is nothing to them.

For a moment, Lu Yinghua, the current nominal leader of the Five Prisons Holy Sect, felt a chill run down his spine. He knew all too well how much his capricious master valued her reputation. If she found out that someone had offended her dignity but hadn't been punished in time, what terrifying fate awaited Lu Yinghua?

For a moment, Lu Yinghua felt as if he could see his father going to another world.
