Chapter 342: Chapter 256 Heavenly Demon Seizing Body, Continuous Backup Moves_2

Time passed, and he felt as though he had slept a long, long dream. In that dream, he seemed to be back in the boundless dark world of his dying moment, as if countless black tentacles were entwining his entire body, sticky and heavy, yet he was utterly unable to move even the slightest bit. Meanwhile, in the void around him, innumerable indistinct shadows flickered incessantly.

Some of these shadows were merely looming nearby, while others approached his ear, incessantly whispering in various strange or familiar languages, and some shadows seemed to be quietly speaking in the language of his former life. Yet, frustratingly, he couldn’t make out a single word they said, which filled him with great urgency.

In a daze, he thought he saw one tall shadow with its head lowered, standing silently in the void, never too far from him nor too close, while the other shadows kept their distance from it, seemingly ignored by everyone else.

After an unknown amount of time, the tall shadow suddenly lifted its head and began to walk slowly toward Zhao Sheng.

Upon seeing this, the other shadows vanished in a flash, dispersing into clouds of fog and disappearing from sight.

The tall shadow took several steps to approach Zhao Sheng, then leaned down as if to scrutinize Zhao Sheng’s face up close.

...

Zhao Sheng felt he could even sense the warm breath from the figure, but the shadow’s face remained a blurry mess. Despite desperately blinking his eyes and straining to see, he couldn’t make out the face at all, which sent chills down his spine.

Boom!

A thunderous roar suddenly filled the darkness, and after a dizzying whirl, Zhao Sheng finally opened his eyes to clearly see the face of the shadow, and he immediately cried out in shock.

“Impossible, how could it be you!”

The person’s features were identical to Zhao Sheng’s.

It was as if he were looking at another “himself” in a mirror, the only difference being that the other’s eyes were full of malice, and his expression wildly sinister and outrageous.

What further stunned him was that this “Zhao Qingyang” was slowly merging into his body as if wanting to become one with him.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng was extremely anxious yet unable to move at all. He could only watch as “Zhao Qingyang” integrated into his body bit by bit. At that moment, Zhao Sheng’s mind was suddenly filled with countless mad thoughts.

“You are me, and I am you! Twin as one, faces of Yin and Yang, why distinguish between you and me!”

“Kill! Kill! Slay all those who have belittled you, misunderstood you, obstructed your path forward!”

“To seek longevity, one must stop at nothing! The road to immortality is paved with skeletons, flesh and blood forming mountains, a single Immortal Skill achieved over ten thousand parched bones!”

“Family is but a burden! They have never brought you any good, only hindering your progress. Why not cast them aside? Travel light!”

…Numerous inconceivable mad thoughts flooded his mind, causing a splitting headache, almost brainwashing him.

Just then, a splendid jade light burst through the endless darkness, shining brightly and instantly purifying the myriad devilish thoughts.

Ah!

In an instant, the tens of thousands of “devilish thoughts” were wiped out by the jade light, and “Zhao Qingyang,” screaming, tried to struggle away from Zhao Sheng’s body. But under the illumination of the light, the entire demonic shadow melted away like snow in sunlight, vanishing in a blink.

“Am I…am I dead?”

In the dark void, Zhao Sheng regained his consciousness, looked around, and murmured in confusion.

But soon, his gaze cleared, and he immediately dismissed the idea he’d just had.

He wasn’t dead yet, or the Book of Hundred Lifetimes should have appeared on its own.

“Eh, Divine Sense has grown this much?!…”

Meanwhile, in the outside world, the body of the Dragon Emperor suddenly shrank dramatically, replaced by a petite and exquisite mini dragon, no longer than three feet.

Its previously translucent body now appeared exceptionally condensed, as if reborn anew.

The Dragon Emperor swiftly swam around, and for a moment, the hall was filled with flashes of dragon shadows.

After each passing of a dragon shadow, a demon possessed by a Heavenly Demon would fall, their bodies instantly dissolved into a pool of poisonous fluid by the Purple Luo Poison.

Even more terrifying was that the intangible Heavenly Demons couldn’t escape the fate of dissolution by the Purple Luo Poison either.

At that moment, an exceptionally old yet defiant voice suddenly echoed through the grand hall: “Galoduo Chi, you’ve ultimately failed to endure.

Fool, what an idiot!”

“This Emperor told you that people from the Otherworld cannot be trusted, yet you were foolish enough to desperately gamble with the Blood God’s Son taking over your body.”

“Hmph, you dimwit, you claimed to have wisdom rivaling the heavens, yet you thought to fight poison with poison.

You really came up with the ludicrous idea of using an Outer Heaven Demon to combat the Ghost Lord of the Blood God’s Son.

In the end, not only did your efforts fail utterly, but even This Emperor has suffered alongside.”

But This Emperor never imagined that you, a Great Chi Jian, a peerless Emperor of your time, would also break your word and go back on your promises. You even dared to seal away This Emperor’s True Body, using it as a reserve for Spiritual Origin

If it weren’t for the heaven-defying Divine Skills of This Emperor, the Blood God’s Son would have devoured This Emperor long ago.

Besides, you should die a good death, why leave behind such disgusting things.

Heavenly Demon seizing body, huh! If This Emperor’s flesh was still here, there would be no need for all this trouble.”

Having been sealed for ten thousand years, the Dragon Emperor finally awakens, instantly venting the grievances accumulated over ten millennia.

At this moment, the remnants of the Heavenly Demon’s Devilish Thought within the blood-colored demonic fog are dissolved by the five-colored rainbow light.

The five-colored light net seems to be drawn by something as it automatically drifts towards the Chi Demon Banner, and layer upon layer of the light net keeps wrapping around it.

And the Demon Lord Ghost Chi, which tried to utilize the Spiritual Treasure’s True Spirit to transform and reincarnate, no matter how furiously it roared and struggled desperately, was gradually pushed back into the face of the banner.

In the end, the layers of light film formed by the brilliant colors resolutely sealed the Chi Demon Banner again. This was all part of an intricate contingency plan by Galoduo Chi on the verge of death, aiming to prevent the Outer Heaven Demon inside the Chi Demon Banner from breaking free of control.

Regrettably, the backup plan he left before death only worked halfway.

The Blood God’s Son, which he had imprisoned within the Divine Eye on his forehead, took advantage of a severe space-time disturbance eight hundred years ago to successfully escape.

“Hmph, Galoduo Chi, count yourself lucky! This Emperor can’t do anything about a dead man, so let your clan bear the brunt of This Emperor’s wrath!”

After expending some effort to kill the One-Horned Demon, the Dragon Emperor lifted its Dragon Head high, slightly pacifying its anger. However, having been pointlessly sealed for so many years, its resentment nearly took on a physical form.

Once the fury of a peerless Dragon Emperor befalls the Ghost Chi Clan, a cataclysm will ensue, with blood flooding thousands of miles.

At this time, however, the Dragon Emperor was unaware that the Ghost Chi Clan had been wiped out by the Human Clan ten thousand years ago.

Shortly after, the Dragon Emperor came to its senses, gently swung its miniature dragon form, and slowly began to roam around the grand hall.

Its current state is very poor. The Primordial Spirit is so weak that it must find a suitable body for possession as quickly as possible.

Even though it was keenly aware of the massive difference between the souls of humans and True Dragons, it could no longer care about that at this moment. Because if it did not act, it would soon be discovered by the Heavenly Dao and would surely die without a doubt.

“Ugh, this body is too old; it has no potential.”

“Alas, the body is too weak to withstand the impact of the Primordial Spirit.”

“Eh, this person’s physical strength is not bad, but the hasty cultivation has completely ruined the body.”

The Dragon Emperor has extremely high standards, and even the body of the Iron Pan Master does not meet its criteria.

“Eh! This youngster is not bad! He’s young, his Life Force could actually rival that of a Dragon Serpent of the same level, and his physical strength is also decent. Let This Emperor take a closer look.”

In one corner of the grand hall, the Dragon Emperor suddenly stops, looking down at Zhao Sheng who lays on the ground, its interest piqued.

“Haha, not bad at all! Life Force extremely vigorous, sinews and flesh very resilient, it seems that a superior Body Refining Technique has been practiced.

Truly rare, indeed very rare!

I choose this one! Being the vessel for This Emperor’s flesh is also your honor!”

With that, the Poison Dragon Emperor excitedly dissipated the Purple Luo Dragon Body, and the Primordial Spirit turned into a streak of light, swiftly rushing towards Zhao Sheng’s Purple Mansion between his eyebrows.

Just as the Dragon Emperor’s Primordial Spirit was about to enter Zhao Sheng’s Purple Mansion,

at that moment, a bright Yellow Light suddenly burst forth from Zhao Sheng’s body,
