Tao Demon (3)

"Assemble all Saints to participates in this war! We must stop the Devouring Queen Mother from going rampage in the Lower Realm!" a Saint Tier cultivator ordered his subordinate before joining the fight.

But their formation is worthless when fighting against the Devouring Queen Mother. As simple as a flick of her fingers, Taotie executed a random attack to throw away all her opponents.

Worst of all, their landing point was somewhat chosen by her, where they're soon swarmed by the Tao Demons when they went back on their feet. With thirty-two Tao Demon at the strength far surpassed the Tao Demon from the Lowest Realm, instead of hunting the Tao Demon, they become their food instead!

What was the best nourishment only a Tao Demon could enjoy?

Of course, is a cultivator, in their Yuan Qi Branching Tier, above 90th Stage Yuan Qi Saint! The flavor of these kinds is the best they could get!

"Ignites the Firework of Heavenly Yuan!" a Yuan Qi Emperor ordered the soldiers to lights all the fireworks. When it was executed, beautiful explosions happened throughout the continent.

It continues until three neighborhood continents lit their part of fireworks, and it expands until fifteen continents surrounding the one attacked by the Tao Demons. The beautiful explosion carries no other meaning except terror.

Ten minutes after the fireworks, more than a hundred Yuan Qi Saint charged to the continent under attack. Their intention? To slaughter the Tao Demon!

But they overestimated themselves when the Devouring Queen Mother made her move!

"Sea of Devouring!" a large scale devouring ability crushes a Sea of Continents, leaving not even a hint of land remained in this Zone. Without anything else to do, the Devouring Queen Mother and her thirty-two children made their way to the next zone.

"Upgrade!" Zhang Wu Ji was in an attempt to upgrade a tool in his hand. The Sword was nothing more than a Military-Grade Silver Weapon, but his ability turned this weapon into something unordinary.

"Hahaha! What kind of weapon actually comes out from my UPGRADE? Sheng, tell me if this is normal!" Zhang Wu Ji laughed. As a person that was bent on following his own morality, he's shocked with the results of the item he upgraded.

When he throws the weapon aside, the clattering voices actually exposed more of the similar corrupted weapons laying on the corner, all come with the same special effect.

[Sheng believes that the results of UPGRADE are following the results master wanted to achieve. Perhaps if the master tries to resist the urge to create a weapon for mass slaughter, the results will be slightly different]

Sheng replied, but the way she did wasn't as confident as to how she was usually. As the spirit that was born from the system, can she be less knowledgable than Zhang Wu Ji in the term of the UPGRADE System usage?

But this is the truth.

Sheng no longer able to explain the differences occur on the system. This system can be said to be either independent or become something on its own.

Ignoring to reply to what Sheng said, Zhang Wu Ji continued with his next row of upgrades. But with some limitation on the total number of Warrior Qi within his body, a rest must happen after a few rounds of massive upgrading.

And in his dream, the impression of a conversation between him and the Tao Demon gets stronger, until he can communicate with it indirectly through thoughts.

"Host, you're too kind against them. Use my power, massively corrupt the weapon you tried to make, and use them to nurture my strength. The stronger I am, the stronger you are." the Tao Demon starts first.

"No. You're a tumor in my body. I will not allow you to corrupt me even further. I've seen your memories, you're the one that overturned the Sea Zone and destroys more than plentiful of continents for your little hunger." Zhang Wu Ji replied.

"Hahaha! Humans like you are always the funniest creature, even in front of the Heavenly Demon like us." Tao Demon laughed. Instead of getting angry on what Zhang Wu Ji said, the demon treated what he said as insignificant.

"You!" Zhang Wu Ji wanted to vent his anger.

"Wow! Stop right there."

"Why are you venting your anger on me? Although I invade your body as a host, did you see me do anything out of your decision? I may look like a parasite in your mind, but remember, I am also one of the Heavenly Demon, and I have my own conscience." the Tao Demon stopped Zhang Wu Ji from continuing.

Zhang Wu Ji controlled himself with a deep breath and stared at the Tao Demon inside his mind.

"Do you know that the Inner Qi Branching Tier is nothing more than the beginning of cultivation? This universe that we lived within possess a total of seven realms, with the border at Middle Realm separating us a the others apart."

"Below the Middle Realm is the Lower Realm, where my tribe is born, the Lowest Realm, where we're located, and Hell Realm. The most bottom realm is known to be the prison for those that disobey the Universal Allgod or did something unforgivable." the Tao Demon started to narrate the story that he knows of.

"Wait! What do you mean? I... I cannot accept that!" the starting of the story confused Zhang Wu Ji. Although he's someone that came from a different world, this is still something that hard to comprehend.

"It means, everything here is made by the Universal Allgod. He's the one that created mankind, creatures, living plants, the seven different realms, and also the cultivation. Mankind easily forgets their roots, but it was different from creatures like us."

"In the Middle Realm, mankind destroyed the knowledge related to seven realms and also started to banish people out of no reason. Soon, their ranks split due to unforeseen reason, and from there, the beliefs changed according to their own faction."

"Soon, fake gods and religion started, with creatures like us hunted for the sake of our flesh, Natural Energy, and treasured parts. Do you know that the insect inside your System Realm actually a thinned bloodline of one Heavenly Demon named Qiongqi?"

"Not to forget, the raven is a failure from the Heavenly Demon Hundun's bloodline, and the serpents is the leftover product from his little voyeur from the Xuanwu Heavenly Beast."

"The spirits like your master and the Servant Puppet are known as Soul Fragment. Your system realm is a substantial space! Your life has been filled by Posterous knowledge, to begin with!"

"Are you sure you wanted to live like the others, remain clueless of the world?" the Tao Demon asked. This question puzzled Zhang Wu Ji, leaving him with no answer to reply.

"Even if you remain here forever until your last breath of life, you won't be able to cross the border between Peak Inner Qi Saint and Yuan Qi Cultivator. Natural Energy here is too weak to supplement your advancement, and coupled with the Natural Law, the possibility is even lower. Do you know why?" the Tao Demon added his words with a question.

"Why?" Zhang Wu Ji no longer controls himself. What he heard is something maybe the top Inner Qi Saint in this world are clueless about it.

"Because the Natural Law of Cultivator is here to stop those from Lowest Realm and Hell Realm to enter the Lower Realm. To make sure that their intention to block anything to come in, they spend no less of effort to creates a barrier between the two realms." Tao Demon said.

"What? A barrier?" Zhang Wu Ji cannot believe it.

"Yes. A barrier that not even an Inner Qi Saint can destroy it. Unless we're capable of controlling the activation on both sides, it will be impossible for us to went through the barrier by ourselves." the Tao Demon added.

"And why would you tell me this?" Zhang Wu Ji knows that the Tao Demon will not waste its time to explain everything if it did not have anything to request from him.

"My mother will come here and help to destroy the barrier. I want you to control the formation in this realm so we can end and open freedom of access from one Realm to another." Tao Demon smirks because it knows that Zhang Wu Ji is interested in the plan.

"What's my benefits?" Zhang Wu Ji said.

"I don't know, but your action may create changes that will happen for a hundred million years, and change the opinion between The Heaven Realm, Highest Realm, Higher Realm, Middle Realm, Lower Realm, Lowest Realm, and Hell Realm."

"We of the Heavenly Demon Tribe will appreciate everything you did for us, and I'm sure my mother will not hesitate to provide you everything, including bloodline, inheritance, and chances of rebirth." the rewards spoken by this Tao Demon is too attractive, especially to a mortal like Zhang Wu Ji.

"I'll consider about it. Now get lost from my dream." Zhang Wu Ji said.

"One last thing," the Tao Demon decided to add something else before their conversation is over. It caused Zhang Wu Ji to stops his footsteps from leaving.

"The Lowest Realm will no longer have any vitality to continue... The Ping An Continent is the last continent that exists in this realm. For your mankind and my Heavenly Demon tribe, helping me to destroy this barrier is the best choice." the Tao Demon ends his speech and vanished.

"Hall Master, the soldiers are ready to launch an attack to destroy the Tier 1 City Wall!" the captain reported. His report caught Zhang Wu Ji unaware as the latter is still considering the best method to attack his opponents.

"Hall Master! We receive a report from the scouts. It seems like the Inner Qi Lord of Upper South Merchant Corporation has gone to the Designer Hall in Inner Western State. At this moment, the entire Golden Husk City can be said to be a leftover city without benefits after conquering." another captain reported.

"Order all soldiers to attack the city wall, we will capture the Golden Husk City as fast as we could, and reorganize the soldiers to build a Defensive Fortress between the Crystalline River County and the Inner Western State's Designer Hall's land of control." Zhang Wu Ji ordered.

A few minutes later, the attack on the City Wall is much more ferocious, while Zhang Wu Ji is still inside his deep thinking. The topic inside his mind is no longer the issue of this Internal War, but something else.

He remembered that on the first day of every New Year, the land will receive a generous amount of blessing from the sky. But if the Tao Demon's statement is true, doesn't that means the grace did not come from heaven, but the cultivators from the Lower Realm instead?

"Lower Realm... Your action to us are not delivering charcoal during the winter but paying a gold coin to kick away a beggar! Instead of treating us as fellow mankind, we're treated as a beggar that awaiting your grace every year!" the more he thinks, the more the fact told by Tao Demon matched.

"Since the Ping An Continent is the last continent with some vitality, I suppose I should do something for the people, even if that's just for my family to live better until old age."

"Tao Demon! Come out!"
