Chapter 1458: Internal Strife

Chapter 1458: Internal Strife

“You’re the one with something wrong with your head!

Chao Tianjiao simply shut her eyes and stopped acknowledging him. She gathered her focus and circulated the Heavenly Tome of Xuanwu, using her cold and harsh determination to fend off the invading demonic thoughts. Even in these dire straits, she did not waver in the slightest.

Her extraordinary willpower earned Li Qingshan’s admiration. Even when he faced death, he often experienced great terror, but that would often set off his will to live, allowing him to defeat his enemies through his courage and resolve.

However, she did not seem to be afraid at all. Was this really just a result of everything she had been through on the battlefield?

However, while she could give up her life, he could not give up his Yin Soul. He asked, “Don’t you have any other ideas? Like asking for help from the Myriad sect?”

His original body remained in Black Cloud city, so he could ask for help. At a time like this, he was even willing to expose this secret.

What was strange was she did not even consider this. Was she incapable of this, or did she refuse to do this?

“Ask for help?” Chao Tianjiao said, “If a Demon Sovereign was trapped in Black Cloud city, would the Demon domain provide help?”

Li Qingshan thought about it and sighed. “Of course not.”

At the end of the day, he had still overestimated her status as the first senior sister.

Even if the Myriad sect gathered all of their direct disciples, they would not necessarily be able to breach the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, and half of them would die here at the very least. Trapped in the formation, she would definitely die as well.

That was unless the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance or the two sect masters stood forward, but the higher their cultivations were, the stronger the repulsion from the laws of the Demon domain was. On top of that, with such a large plan being carried out, the Demon domain probably had cards up their sleeves as well. Even Human Immortals might not necessarily give them an advantage.

The only thing he could be certain about was she would still be dying.

The Demon Sovereigns were not idiotic villains who had too much to monologue about. Once they detected something amiss, they would definitely activate the formation and kill her first.

That was why the Myriad sect would never venture deep into the Demon domain and start a war under such disadvantageous circumstances even if they found out she was trapped here.

This was the brutality of war. Even the glorious and triumphant first senior sister in the sect would be abandoned like everyone else.

However, he refused to give up so easily. He drew all of the surging demon qi and demonic thoughts into his Yin Soul and began circulating the Heavenly Tome of Liberty.

From a certain perspective, the demonic egg of chaos was a good place to practise the Heavenly Tome of Liberty. In order to demonify the first senior sister of the Myriad sect, the Demon Sovereigns had made a tremendous investment in this. There were all sorts of resources available.

Even with the various kinds of twisted chaos, the path of great liberty was filled with impermanence and change, so it was not afraid of that at all. His current comprehension happened to exceed his cultivation as well, so it was perfect for him to swallow all of these resources.

Chao Tianjiao opened her eyes. Her mind settled. She was also surprised. This kid really has something up his sleeve. He can actually devour demon qi and use the resources of the Demon domain to cultivate! If he doesn’t die here, he’ll definitely achieve great things in the war against the Demon domain. It’s all thanks to the fact that he can still persist with cultivation that he’s helped me block the demonic thoughts. Instead, I’m the one who’s dragged him down.

Without any regard, Li Qingshan circulated the Heavenly Tome of Liberty almost in a frenzy, refining the demon qi and demonic thoughts.

Compared to Chao Tianjiao’s calmness, his behaviour was almost deranged. The Yin Soul’s face constantly twisted and changed, from fury to fear, then to greed… However, he was growing stronger bit by bit.

It was the struggle of a caged beast!

Normally, he would still worry about his Yin Soul losing control and flying into a rampage, so he would not dare to act so recklessly. Now, he no longer had any considerations at all. It was almost impossible for him to take back this Yin Soul anyway, so if it lost control, then it lost control. He completely treated it as a cultivation experience for him to learn from.

Even if he refined his Yin Soul into a Yang Soul—which was basically impossible—it would be impossible for him to break free from the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous. Only if his Yin Soul completely demonified and broke free from his body would the Demon Sovereigns perhaps worry about him as “one of their kind”.

However, that was the most unacceptable result. He would rather blow up his Yin Soul than let that happen. He had already prepared himself for that too.

However, perhaps because he had comprehended the path of great liberty a little too well, or perhaps this mentality was perfect for practising the Heavenly Tome of Liberty, he encountered no signs of losing control at all even after cultivating for so long.

Right when it was absolutely meaningless, he instead made drastic progress, advancing along smoothly. It was far too ironic.

“Dammit!”

Chao Tianjiao thought he had finally learnt the emotion of fear. She sneered. “If you behaved a little, you’d still be watering plants and tending to crops in the Hundred Herbs garden. You wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Li Qingshan flew into a fury. “And you still mention it!”

Why would Chao Tianjiao fear him? “Hah, I’m about to die, so am I supposed to be afraid of teasing you? You want revenge on me? I still have debts to settle with you! Back then, you just managed to hold me at bay with words! There’s no need to wait thirty years. You can go die right now!”

“Alright, very well!” Li Qingshan laughed out of anger and malice bloomed in him. “I’ll make you die an absolutely horrible death!”

He continued to cultivate as he drew a wisp of scorching will from the chaotic, twisted demonic thoughts, sending it into her body.

“Hmph!” Chao Tianjiao sneered. “Is this it?”

She did not even have to try and guard her mind. She had severed that part of her body a long time ago, ending any possibilities of lust.

Her Yang Soul had been condensed from the biting-cold aura of bleakness from the seven stars of the north. It was frigid and harsh, able to suppress all demonic thoughts naturally.

“I see now!”

Li Qingshan abruptly understood why Li Liehuo and her were so powerful, far more than Si Long who was also a Human Sovereign.

The more pure and more extreme the power was, the faster they would advance and the more lethal it would be.

The Heavenly Tome of Scorching Fire was as such. The Heavenly Tome of Xuanwu was as such too.

However, the price was once they reached a certain realm, their path would become more and more narrow, until it turned into a bottleneck that they struggled to overcome.

The synonym to pure was extreme.

Even more terrifyingly, this pure power had turned around to corrode their minds.

Just from a slight provocation from him, Li Liehuo would go as far as to break the sect rules to kill him. Was he just born with a violent temper, or had he been devoured and assimilated by the scorching fire?

Chao Tianjiao’s ability to remain fearless in dire straits probably was not a demonstration of her courage either. True courage manifested when overcoming fear. It was not as simple as fearing nothing at all.

In the past, Gong Yuan had taken a similar path. Not only did she treat everyone cruelly, but even she herself had almost been devoured by the power of Ruin’s End in the end.

They pursued power in order to carry out and live up to their wills. If they were abducted by power instead, they would not be far from cultivation deviation.

The first senior brother and first senior sister who were ever-glorious on the surface were actually being constantly twisted by power, forced to use extraordinary willpower to control this great and pure power.

As a result, they were forced to rampage on the battlefield, using slaughter to pacify their restlessness. However, the more they used it, the sooner the power would backlash.

If they could not break through the sixth heavenly tribulation and reach Human Immortal, they would never go out peacefully. They would either erupt into flames or flash and die out as light.

“The three of us really do have some similarities. Since we want more, then we’re burdened with more too. It’s very fair. However, if you really think you can resist it through willpower alone, then you’d be absolutely wrong! At the end of the day, you’re still human! Erm, woman.”

Li Qingshan laughed madly as he set off even large flames, scorching away at her icy-cold willpower.

With a great demon like him helping out, the demonic egg of chaos finally began to serve its function.
