Demon God Hundun was almost an embodiment of the will of the Demon domain, as well as the strongest Demon God. However, due to his chaotic nature, not only was he senseless and incapable of differentiating between things, but his thoughts from the moment before would change with the next. He was incapable of any long-term planning, nor could he effectively assemble allies, so he was instead the weakest in terms of overall strength.

He was like a demonic beast among Demon Gods, a terrifying Demon God beast.

However, his strength was indisputable, and demonfolk from the Hundun lineage were all natural demonic seeds. There was an extremely small number of them, but they were all exceptionally powerful, as well as strange and unpredictable.

As a result, despite all being Demon Sovereigns, the old man known as Ying Zhe served as their undisputed leader. They did not even have the courage to speak up to him.

Even to the Demon domain, Demon Sovereigns were a precious resource. They were forbidden from killing one another without good reason. Otherwise, even the victor would face harsh punishment.

Only the Hundun lineage was not constrained by this, or perhaps it was better said that the constraints were useless, as chaos was their nature.

No matter how wise and brilliant this “sir Ying Zhe” seemed, his nature would belong to chaos at the end of the day, so it would not be strange if he attacked them without any reason, much less face any punishment. He was like a mad dog, unafraid of anybody.

Ying Zhe’s eyes swivelled in different directions like a chameleon, taking in the expressions of all the Demon Sovereigns. The corner of his lips raised his cheeks high up, almost reaching his ears. His friendly, amicable appearance immediately became eerie and twisted.

All of the Demon Sovereigns lowered their heads, afraid to make eye contact with him.

“As I command, activate the formation.”

The Demon Sovereigns did not dare to waste any time. The Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous was immediately activated, and the twelve stone pillars lit up one by one. The surging demon qi blotted out the sky, crushing down layer after layer.

Chao Tianjiao gazed out. She could no longer see the Demon Sovereigns anymore. Only the twelve Demon Gods stared down on her silently, like they had been there for eternity. Meanwhile, she became as insignificant as an ant. Any of the Demon Gods only needed to extend a finger to crush her to pieces.

“Zhenwu Purges the Demons, the Seven Stars as One! The Divine Turtle as Armour, the Black Snake as Arms!”

Chao Tianjiao stood stern and fearlessly, drawing her blade from her sheathe. The seven stars in her Yang Soul shone, and she erupted with light, like a goddess of war.

Li Qingshan only felt like his Yin Soul was almost about to be sliced to pieces. He said furiously, “Are you trying to kill me?” Isn’t this old guy trying to recruit you? Why’s he turning against you without even batting an eye?

“Be quiet!” Chao Tianjiao’s voice was icy-cold and harsh, devoid of any human emotions. There was only the fierce aura of slaughter.

Ying Zhe’s expression changed. Across the boundless Demon domain and the billions of demonfolk, there were none that did not hate or fear the Zhenwu Emperor, even when it came to the Hundun lineage.

“You actually practise the path of xuanwu as well! That’s even less reason to spare you! Descend, Hundun!”

At that instant, eleven of the pillars dimmed. All of the light gathered in the pillar under Ying Zhe’s feet. The totem of Demon God Hundun suddenly began to move.

Its large, round head was devoid of any facial features. Four thick, stubby limbs protruded from its colossal body while its skin was pink like an infant’s, except it was covered in veins and creases. It was both ugly and foolish.

It crawled around the stone pillar cluelessly before extending its head towards Chao Tianjiao and Li Qingshan. Suddenly, a huge, abyss-like mouth cracked open, emitting a voice that resembled an infant’s cry, yet also hundreds of times sharper. It leapt off the stone pillar and lunged over.

“Slice!” Chao Tianjiao advanced instead of retreating, swinging her blade to receive it.

She channelled all the power and will she had developed through her life-long cultivation into the biting-cold xuanwu blade aura. Even when Li Qingshan’s Yin Soul was on the verge of shattering, he could not help but praise it. “Nice! But that’s completely useless.”

“Demon God Hundun” swallowed her in a single gulp. Its mouth immediately closed, and everything returned to silence.

Twelve Demon Sovereigns had worked together to cast the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, and they were located in the Demon domain as well. That was already an overwhelming power. All attempts at resistance would be pointless. Even if she risked her life, she could not even touch a hair on them.

The Demon Sovereigns looked at one another. Didn’t he just say to not kill her? Why had he changed his mind in the blink of an eye? However, no one dared to ask him. The Hundun lineage was a gathering of madmen in the first place.

Ying Zhe stood with his arms behind his back, turning back into the amicable old man. “Don’t worry, fellows. She will return very soon.”

He pointed at the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous and “Demon God Hundun’s” colossal body rapidly shrank and consolidated. Demon qi gathered together, sticky like pitch, condensing into a black and red egg.

“This is… the demonic embryo of chaos!” a Demon Sovereign cried out.

“At least someone knows.” Ying Zhe nodded. “She practises the path of xuanwu, so she will never yield. However, it’s not like she’s…” He paused there and pointed at the sky. All of the Demon Sovereigns understood what he was talking about. He was referring to the Zhenwu Emperor.

He continued, “In the demonic embryo of chaos, all thoughts will be twisted and reduced to chaos. If she doesn’t even have anything left, what is there to hold onto? What willpower? What persistence? What belief? All of it is nothing. Tu Wancheng, don’t you want revenge? When she emerges again, perhaps she’ll have turned into a whore.”

“Really?” Tu Wancheng was overjoyed. In the past, even if Chao Tianjiao died in battle, he could forget about laying a finger on her. The way he vented was just fucking a few demonic beasts to death too. Now that he suddenly saw hope, that part of him immediately stiffened.

“As long as you’re not afraid that she’ll suddenly make an attempt on your life in bed.”

Tu Wancheng shivered all over, and that part of him softened again. The Demon Sovereigns all laughed.

“Old Tu, feel free to go about it. We’ll watch over you on the side.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Tu Wancheng clasped his hands modestly. “We can all get our fair share and take turns to fuck this bitch. We can’t let any brother miss out.”

“You bunch of fools!” Ying Zhe suddenly cursed aloud. “What are you waiting for? Go and prepare the surprise attack on Black Cloud city! Laughing away like a herd of stupid pigs!”

The laughter came to a halt. The Demon Sovereigns were irritated, but they had nothing to say. They could only keep their distance from this madman.

Ying Zhe’s anger vanished as quickly as it came. In the blink of an eye, he gazed at the demonic egg of chaos in the centre of the formation tenderly again.

“A cultivator who practises the path of xuanwu only to be returned to chaos and be reduced to a demonfolk in the end. This is an absolute slap in the face to the Desireless Heavenly Palace! Hehehehe!”

In the demonic embryo of chaos, demonic thoughts and twisted chaos surged over like the flood.

Chao Tianjiao swung her blade a few times and was swallowed by the endless chaos in the blink of an eye. She did not dare to waste any more of her strength.

Li Qingshan said, “That old guy is trying to turn you into a demonfolk.”

“I know,” Chao Tianjiao said impassively.

“What do you do now?”

“I die.” Chao Tianjiao did not even feel a hint of fear. Instead, it sounded a little like liberation.

“Don’t forget, we still have our agreement in thirty years’ time. If you die, who am I supposed to get my revenge on?”

Li Qingshan felt very aggrieved, very wronged, and very unwilling to accept this. If she died, his Yin Soul definitely could not survive either.

He could not help but recall that afternoon many years ago when he practised the Innate Method of Practising Qi, followed by the Gui Water Method of Condensing Qi, the Arts of the Boundless Ocean, the Demon Suppression Statuary, the Battle Demon Statuary, the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction, the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Prosperity, and finally, the Heavenly Tome of Liberty.

Qi Practitioner, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Soul Nascence, Yin Soul… he had gone through all of the suffering and hardships tirelessly to raise it to its current state, and now, just because of a stupid woman, it would be gone just because she said so.

“You!” Chao Tianjiao’s expression finally changed. “Is there something wrong with your head?”
