Chapter 359 The Name of the Demon Ancestor, Thunder Prison Pagoda!
[In the fourteenth year, you traversed war and ruins, searching for potential opportunities, while simultaneously eliminating the invading Demon Emperor from beyond the realms and rescuing forces affected by the war.]
[In your twentieth year, you noticed a sudden increase in the evil clan's attacks against you, and you became more cautious in your actions. To enhance your self-defense capabilities, you specifically sought out the Floating Ancestor, who was also fighting on the front lines, and humbly sought his renowned battlefield-defending divine power—the Eightfold Floating Pagoda.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, relying on your extraordinary skills as a Grandmaster of Sacred Spirit Arrays and the complete teachings of the Ancestor of the Floating Pagoda, you spent five years painstakingly crafting a rudimentary "Eight-Part Floating Pagoda," and your mastery of spirit arrays also broke through to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster of Sacred Spirit Arrays.]
[In the twenty-eighth year, during a counter-encirclement campaign, you were ambushed by four Heavenly Demon Emperors, one of whom was the tenth-ranked Heavenly Demon Emperor among the extraterrestrial evil races. After a fierce battle, although you managed to kill one Heavenly Demon Emperor and severely injure another with your exquisite formations and formidable strength, you also paid a considerable price yourself.]
Left with no other choice, you self-destructed the Eightfold Floating Pagoda, using the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique to feign death and escape, disappearing into the chaotic battlefield.
[In your thirtieth year, your injuries healed, but this misfortune also brought you good fortune. Under the extreme pressure of being on the verge of life and death, your cultivation naturally advanced to the mid-stage of the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign.]
[What will surprise you even more is that, along with the advancement of your cultivation and the transformation of your state of mind, your understanding of the Supreme Spiritual Light has also reached an unprecedented new height—the third level, "The Realm of Heavenly Connection"!]
This realm is profound, not merely a simple accumulation of power, but a sublimation of essence. You understand that "reaching the heavens" means condensing your will, spiritual power, divine soul, and even the supernatural abilities of your spiritual veins into a single, unified whole, merging them into that "light that reaches the heavens."
[Once this light is unleashed, it is no longer merely a supernatural power, but a manifestation of your own "Tao," a final strike that transcends all limits and involves giving your all!]
Its power is so vast that it can drain most of your spiritual energy and mind, but its destructive force is also terrifyingly unimaginable, enough to make you unleash terrifying combat power in a short time that could threaten or even severely injure a late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign!
[In the thirty-first year, your strength has greatly increased, but you haven't let that power go to your head; instead, you've become even more cautious. You know that the extraterrestrial evil races will never let you go, and the top ten Heavenly Demon Emperors are even more terrifying.]
Instead of acting rashly, you remained hidden like a ghost in the shadows of the battlefield, using your mastery of sacred spirit arrays to gather intelligence and await the opportune moment.
[In the thirty-fifth year, after years of meticulous observation, you have finally identified an opportunity. The tenth-ranked "Soul-Devouring Demon Emperor" has experienced a temporary supply shortage due to frequent battles, and he himself appears to be severely depleted from a secret mission, no longer at his peak condition.]
[Subsequently, you made thorough preparations, not only setting up multiple concealment, interference, and escape formations, but also choosing a battlefield in an ancient, shattered plane with an extremely unstable spatial structure, so that even if you were outmatched, you would still have room to maneuver.]
[In the thirty-sixth year, you used a meticulously fabricated aura of "severely injured Saint-grade" as bait to successfully lure the Soul-Devouring Demon Emperor into a pre-ordained killing plane. By the time he realized something was wrong, he was already trapped in a triple Saint-grade array, a net of heaven and earth.]
[Without hesitation, you unleashed your power instantly! The three mid-stage Saint-grade warriors pushed the third level of the Tai Ling Tong Tian Guang, "Tong Tian Zhi Jing," to its limit. The three beams of Tong Tian Guang converged, transforming into an unparalleled pure beam of light that instantly pierced through all of the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor's defenses, precisely annihilating his demonic soul core!]
[Boom! The tenth-ranked Soul-Devouring Demon Emperor didn't even have time to utter a final wail before his demonic body disintegrated and his soul scattered under your long-planned killing blow!]
[You were not careless. Your clone, in conjunction with the triple-layered sacred array and spiritual fire, thoroughly refined its remains, ensuring absolute safety and erasing all traces.]
[Then, you swiftly gathered the essence of the demonic remains refined by the Soul-Devouring Demon Emperor and quietly escaped using a backup plan. The shockwaves from the fall of a Saint-level being could not be completely concealed, and news of your powerful kill of the Tenth-Rank Demon Emperor at the mid-stage of the Saint-level swept across the battlefield like a storm.]
[After this battle, your fearsome reputation reached unprecedented heights. The extraterrestrial evil races, in their rage and terror, revered and cursed you in the name of "Demon Ancestor."]
In this vast world, you are regarded as a pillar supporting the heavens, your prestige ranking alongside ancient giants such as the Ancestor of the Buddha and the Ancestor of the Supreme Spirit. You are revered as one of the "Six Ancient Ancestors," and your reputation as the "Demon Ancestor" resounds throughout the universe.
[In your fortieth year, you hide in a completely self-constructed, isolated spiritual array space, and begin to process your most important spoils of war.]
[Using the essence of the demonic remains refined by the Soul-Devouring Demon Emperor as its core, and fusing it with numerous sacred materials collected over years of battles, further infusing it with all your understanding of the Thunder Prison Spirit Array, you have, with the supreme skill of a Grandmaster of Sacred Spirit Arrays, finally forged a peerless Sacred Artifact—the Thunder Prison Floating Pagoda Pearl!]
This bead is not only a peerless sacred artifact, but it also possesses an extremely terrifying growth characteristic: it can actively devour and refine the corpses of powerful extraterrestrial evil beings, transforming their remains and resentment into a "Demon Lightning Bead" with terrifying destructive power!
Each Demon Lightning Bead possesses the power of a full-force self-destruction of a Demon Emperor of the corresponding level; it is a one-time, deadly weapon!
[Once you master this treasure, your hunting will become even more frenzied. With the help of your extraordinary skills, which have reached the late stage of a Grandmaster of Saint-grade Spirit Arrays, you will perfectly conceal your aura and tracks, specifically targeting and hunting down lone demon emperors from beyond the realm.]
[In just a few years, the number of Demon Emperors you have slain has increased dramatically, and the number of various Demon Lightning Orbs you have accumulated has also grown significantly, especially the Saint-grade Demon Lightning Orbs refined by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, of which you have already amassed five!]
Your slaughter has instilled fear in the lower ranks of the evil race, and has made your fearsome reputation as the "Demon Ancestor" even more bloody.
[In your fiftieth year, your frenzied slaughter has finally crossed the line of the evil race's tolerance. Two top powerhouses, ranked seventh and eighth respectively in the "Heavenly Demon Emperor Sequence"—the "Nether Spring Demon Emperor" and the "Abyss Demon Emperor"—have joined forces to launch a relentless pursuit against you.]
Facing two formidable opponents ranked in the top ten, you found yourself in an unprecedentedly fierce battle. In this critical moment, you no longer hesitated, detonating all the Demon Lightning Orbs you had accumulated at once.
The terrifying chain of explosions created a destructive storm; even a powerful Demon Emperor was caught off guard by this suicidal attack, his demonic body shattered, leaving him severely injured and coughing up blood.
[Seize this fleeting opportunity, and in conjunction with the Thunder Prison Pagoda Pearl itself, launch a full-scale attack on the more severely injured Abyss Demon Emperor, ultimately slaying him completely!]
[Then, you combined your two clones and the formation to force the Youquan Demon Emperor, who was both shocked and enraged and still recovering from serious injuries, into a desperate situation.]
After another fierce battle, at the cost of severe injuries, you successfully slew this top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperor, ranked seventh in the rank, and brought him to his knees!
[In this battle, you, at the mid-stage of the Saint rank, devised a plan to turn the tide, fighting two opponents single-handedly and decisively defeating the seventh-ranked "Nether Spring Demon Emperor" and the eighth-ranked "Abyss Demon Emperor"!]
The news sent shockwaves throughout the world! The infamous reputation of the "Demon Ancestor" not only terrified the evil races, but also caused the entire world to awe and look up to him.
The higher-ups of the extraterrestrial evil race are furious beyond measure, but they also feel a deeper fear of you. In the short term, no Demon Emperor will dare to easily challenge your might.
Your ferocity has reached its zenith.
[In your sixtieth year, after years of bloody battles and the accumulation of vast resources, you have finally reached the late stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme realm.]
[With your strength surging and possessing two Saint-grade Demonic Lightning Pearls capable of threatening late-stage Saint-grade beings, you believe you have truly reached the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World.]
However, your wanton slaughter has finally attracted the attention of the true pinnacle of the extraterrestrial evil race. During a battle to annihilate the extraterrestrial evil race, the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor personally descended and launched a sneak attack on you, the Demon Ancestor whose hands are stained with countless demonic blood!
Even if you've reached the late Saint-grade level and wield powerful treasures, facing the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor, you still feel an almost hopeless gap in power. It's an absolute crushing defeat in terms of cultivation level!
[You've exhausted all your methods, with the Thunder Prison Pagoda Pearl and the Saint-grade Demon Thunder Pearl exploding one after another, yet you're still suffering a steady defeat, facing imminent destruction.]
At the critical moment, the Immortal Emperor arrived just in time, severely injuring the Holy Demon Emperor, forcing him back, and saving you from the brink of death.
[In the sixty-first year, your injuries gradually stabilized with the help of the Immortal Emperor, but your vital essence was still severely depleted. On this day, the Immortal Emperor summoned you to his secluded cultivation realm.]
He tells you that he has recently been comprehending the principles of time and space, and has a premonition of his own demise. He frankly states that if anything untoward happens, he intends to entrust his damaged "Eternal Immortal Body" to you.
"Originally, I chose Maha," the Immortal Emperor said calmly. "Although I know his intentions are wicked, his cultivation and strength are indeed the strongest among the remaining candidates. In this chaotic world, perhaps his formidable power can temporarily preserve his Dharma body from being lost."
He turned from the light to you, his gaze filled with scrutiny and expectation: "However, your appearance has changed my mind. In terms of strength, you are far superior to Mo Ci, and what is even more commendable is your clear stance on matters of principle. Perhaps it is more appropriate for you to inherit the responsibility of protecting the Dharma body."
You remained silent. In this cataclysmic war that lasted for decades and was extremely brutal, even beings like the Nine Emperors and Five Ancestors had fallen one after another. The Heavenly Emperor, the War Emperor, and the Floating Pagoda Ancestor, among other giants, had all shed their blood in the sky.
Of the many powerful figures who once competed for the Eternal Immortal Body, only a handful remain. Those who retain both strength and prestige are truly just you and Patriarch Maha.
The Immortal Emperor, seemingly sensing the complexity in your mind, continued, "I have a backup plan within the Eternal Tower, and I have scattered the legacy of the precursor to the Eternal Immortal Body into dozens of hidden locations throughout the Great Thousand Worlds."
His voice deepened, carrying an undeniable air: "If your successor, or the one who receives the inheritance, deviates from the original intention, refuses to relinquish the Dharma Body, or even falls into evil ways—these scattered inheritances and the Eternal Tower's backup plans will naturally react. You'd better take care of yourself."
[You remained silent, but ultimately chose to accept the responsibility.]
In the sixty-second year, the offensive of the extraterrestrial evil race suddenly intensified to an unprecedented level, and the great war entered its final decisive stage.
[The true form of the Heavenly Evil God descends, plunging countless beings throughout the vast world into madness and despair.]
The Immortal Emperor rose resolutely into the sky, transforming into a golden light to confront the Heavenly Evil God.
[And before you, a terrifying demonic aura descends. The Holy Demon Emperor, once severely wounded by the Immortal Emperor, carries boundless killing intent and personally targets you, the "Demon Ancestor."]
[You have reached the late stage of the Saint-grade realm, wielding the Thunder Prison Pagoda Pearl and the only remaining Saint-grade Demonic Thunder Pearl, your strength is now vastly different. However, compared to a peak evil race like the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor, you are still at a disadvantage.]
[You fought from the earth to the heavens, from the vast universe into the spatial turbulence. The sacred array you laid out was torn apart layer by layer, the light of the Thunder Prison Floating Pagoda Pearl gradually dimmed under the corrosive influence of demonic energy, and the explosion of the sacred demonic thunder pearl could only leave wounds on the opponent that were difficult to heal, but could not kill them.]
The battle raged on for an unknown duration—perhaps a fleeting moment, perhaps eternity. You felt your power rapidly draining away, and your consciousness began to fade.
Finally, a mournful howl that shook the entire world resounded—
The Immortal Emperor chose to burn all of his immortal essence, transforming it into an immortal seal to temporarily suppress and seal the Heavenly Evil God.
[You then perished at the hands of the Holy Demon Emperor —]
[This simulation has ended.]
You can choose one of the following three items.
[I. The Inheritance of the Supreme Spiritual Heavenly Light (Heavenly Realm)]
【Second, the eternally immortal body (damaged)】
【Third, Thunder Prison Pagoda Pearl (A peerless sacred artifact)】
