Ch 77: Lotus of Gods and Demons

【In the first year, you constantly practiced the Demonic Tome, using it to digest and integrate the massive Demonic Blood Qi and Demonic Qi within your body.】

【In the six hundredth year, you digested a portion of the Demonic Blood Qi, and your body’s strength increased more than threefold. However, because your Qi had already reached its limit, even the tempering of the massive Demonic Qi only made your Demonic Qi more condensed, without much increase in quantity.】

【In the seven hundredth year, you were still constantly digesting the Demonic Blood Qi…】

Chu Mo raised his head, gazing at the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought in the distance, and suddenly said, “I’m very curious, are you unable to leave this realm? Moreover, as time passes, will your power gradually decline?”

On one hand, Chu Mo was indeed curious about the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought’s situation. On the other hand, Chu Mo also wanted to delay for a while, allowing himself to better digest everything brought by the Demonic Cultist sacrifice.

The Black Emperor’s Divine Thought’s eyes narrowed slightly, thoughts flashing through his mind. He recalled the numerous Demonic Cultists dissipating beside him and had the same intention as Chu Mo to stall for time. Although he was confident in achieving final victory, a victory that was almost mutually assured destruction was different from a victory with only serious injuries.

Yes, the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought knew that his best outcome now was to win in a heavily injured state. After all, his Changbai Mountain Divinity had been completely shattered by that previous charge. Even if there was a possibility of nurturing it in the future, it wouldn’t be possible in a few hundred years.

“Guess?” the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought said coldly, then deliberately revealed some seemingly useful, but actually useless information, “Curious about the origin of this palace under your feet?”

“Heh, this is the original version of the Yanjing Imperial Palace… Didn’t expect it? Zhu Di’s palace would actually appear here, in my hands!”

Chu Mo’s pupils contracted. He had thought of many possibilities before, such as this palace being related to the Black Emperor’s main body, or perhaps a Divine Palace that fell from the heavens, but now it seemed…

However, Chu Mo was also complaining inwardly, why was this Black Emperor’s Divine Thought so much harder to get information from than the Black Emperor’s Avatar during the Demon Qing period? Was it because he had truly entered this space, threatening the other party?!

【In the three thousand four hundredth year, you continued to absorb Demonic Blood Qi and Demonic Qi, but could no longer gain any increase in Qi or physical strength! You made up your mind to abandon and re-cultivate.】

【In the four thousand six hundred and seventieth year, with the support of terrifying Demonic Qi, you quickly stepped into the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm for the sixth time by re-cultivating the Demonic Tome.】

【In the nine thousand seven hundredth year, you stepped into the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm for the tenth time! Once again, you touched the point where there was no further progress to be made.

The first five times were transformations of Righteous Qi, and the last five times were transformations of Demonic Qi. This allowed the Qi in your body to simultaneously reach the extremes of righteousness and evil, containing a balance of yin and yang. Combining your Sage method of utmost good and utmost evil, you vaguely comprehended a corner of the Yin-Yang Domain.】

【In the ten thousandth year, after countless temperings and countless deductions, you were certain that you had reached the true limit.

You tempered every realm you had cultivated in the past to be impeccable.

You finally made up your mind and took a step forward, becoming a Half-Step Transcendent Realm…

You felt that you seemed to be able to break through, but you sensed that familiar bottleneck! You realized that perhaps you had to use your own Source Lifespan to break through this bottleneck again.

Recalling everything from your past experiences, constantly synthesizing everything you had learned, you finally comprehended the Destruction Method——

Lotus of Gods and Demons!

This method fuses the Righteous Qi and Demonic Qi in the body according to a specific ratio, coordinates it with the soul power of the Sage Realm, and launches it out. Separated from the stability of the spirit, the two Qi of righteousness and evil will explode with unimaginable terrifying destructive power due to the conflict.】

“What Buddha’s Angry Fire Lotus?” Chu Mo complained inwardly, but also noticed that the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought’s killing intent had risen. Perhaps it was because only the last batch of the strongest Demonic Cultist Army remained, and their lives had entered their final period of decline.

“Brother Zhang,” the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought said hoarsely, with polite manners, but with each word spoken, the killing intent increased, “There is still a chance now. Lower your head, admit the Divine Right of Kings, and you are still the co-ruler of the land under your feet!”

“I am a person who cherishes talent very much. The fact that I want to collect those heroes of the past is enough to prove everything…”

To this, the only thing Chu Mo did was, “…Lotus of Gods and Demons!”

Chu Mo’s expression was cold. He continuously used the Luck Technique to extract the power of luck, transforming it into Righteous Qi within his body. Then, he continuously condensed the Demonic Qi sacrificed by the last batch of dying Demonic Cultists, which could no longer be absorbed by him to become stronger… matching it with the Demonic Qi within his body…

◈◈◈

This was a number far beyond imagination… Righteous Qi and Evil Qi!

“This guy is…” The Black Emperor’s Divine Thought’s eyes twitched. He realized something, but also felt that this person in front of him seemed to be committing suicide… No, was this person mentally ill? It was fine when he self-destructed the Demonic Cultist Army before, but now he was actually…

With a sneer, the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought retreated, holding a mentality of watching the fun, thinking that if the person in front of him committed suicide, so be it, just don’t let the blood splatter on him.

Chu Mo’s arms trembled violently, his skin cracked, and large patches of blood burst out of his skin because he couldn’t withstand the pressure. At this moment, Chu Mo seemed to have turned into a fragile doll. However, using Extraction of Immortality, Chu Mo forcibly maintained the balance of his body, so that it wouldn’t collapse on the spot.

Finally, a wisp of destructive aura flowed.

A strange lotus flower, half gold and half black, gradually took shape in the palms of Chu Mo’s hands.

“Ah? Wait, this guy! Demonic Qi and Righteous Qi were really forcibly fused together by him? And this amount? This has already exceeded the average Extraordinary Realm…” The Black Emperor’s Divine Thought was stunned for a moment, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. The mentality of watching the fun before was swept away, and he felt his mentality explode…

In fact, the fact that Chu Mo’s Righteous Qi and Demonic Qi could be converted into each other had already made the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought feel very unbelievable.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had done something similar before, although it was done cleverly with One Qi Transformation, and it wasn’t as skillfully used as Chu Mo. But considering that the person in front of him had cultivated Zhu Yuanzhang’s method to the extreme, it didn’t seem completely incomprehensible…

But… the essence of Zhu Yuanzhang’s method was to use clever methods. But the person in front of him allowed the two Qi to exist simultaneously, forcibly fusing them… This kind of thing! The Black Emperor’s Divine Thought had never heard of it… No, wait…

“Taiji Yin-Yang, the Two Forms Dao, righteousness and evil oppose each other, the Dao of Balance, the Shang and Zhou Dynasties… Impossible!”

The Black Emperor’s Divine Thought’s defenses were broken. That was such a distant ancient matter. He could tolerate the fact that the person in front of him could do what Zhu Yuanzhang had done. After all, even if the changes in the world made it more difficult to do these things, it could only mean that the person in front of him had a stronger talent than Zhu Yuanzhang…

But, touching the ancient times… Even if it was just a prototype and a corner, this made it impossible for him to understand and accept. You have only cultivated for a few years? Without millions of years of hard work and accumulation, how could you touch a corner of that realm…

However, the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought soon didn’t have time to think about it carefully.

Because… the brilliant lotus flower had left Chu Mo’s palms.

In just an instant, the lotus flower bloomed with amazing beauty, slowly rotating. Although it looked like it was moving very slowly, it appeared in front of the Black Emperor’s Divine Thought in an instant.

At this moment, the Sage spiritual thoughts that Chu Mo had stationed within, which were harmonizing the two Qi of righteousness and evil, collapsed. This directly caused the brilliant lotus flower to become extremely unstable and extremely violent.

The Black Emperor’s Divine Thought’s hairs stood on end. He wanted to continue retreating, but it was too late—he had missed the last chance to escape because of the momentary distraction caused by extreme shock.

The terrifying loud noise, wrapped in violent energy, exploded at this moment.

The lotus flower bloomed——

“Boom!”

The energy that seemed to destroy the world poured out from the small lotus flower. Every part of the already very unstable Divine Palace’s small world rippled with waves.

I will update two more chapters tomorrow. I should be listed at noon the day after tomorrow… Originally, the editor asked me to list it tomorrow, but I thought that it would not be good to break it off here. It is better to pass the final key climax of the late Ming Dynasty and return to the main world, and then list it, otherwise some readers who are not willing to spend money, watching the key climax, have to wait for the pirated version, which is also very uncomfortable. After reading it comfortably, the retreat should be more comfortable… Cough cough, but those who are willing to support, it is best to support it
