Chapter 29 The Power of Pangu's Will
Since leaving Fenglin Continent and traveling in this primordial world, Mo Yuan has only encountered two enemies. One is the Xuan Gu Demon King, who was ambushed and killed by him with the White Tiger's Tooth, and the other is Xuan Zhi Zi, who died under the Tai Hao Flying Knife.
Now, the Vine Demon King led a group of subordinates to surround and kill him, but he used his supernatural powers and Taihao Flying Knife to kill most of them. Even the remaining three demon generals are now in danger of losing their lives.
Mo Yuan's blood was surging. He had an urge to fight the Vine Demon King head-on. This urge came from the depths of his bloodline and from the pride of being the young master of the Qilin clan.
"Boom!"
The world spun around, and a deafening roar echoed.
Under the Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light and the Qilin Sky-Treading Strike, the dozens of True Immortal Realm demons who charged towards him were directly crushed, their severed limbs scattered on the ground, leaving no trace of life.
As a result, the Vine Demon King, who originally had hundreds of subordinates, now only has three demon generals barely clinging to life, and he is practically a commander without troops.
"Vine Demon King, why don't we wait until I've eliminated those three demon generals, then we can have a fair and square battle and see if I can force you to your doom with my late-stage True Immortal cultivation?"
Seeing the Vine Demon King's menacing aura, ready to attack him, Mo Yuan spoke calmly.
The moment he finished speaking, he soared into the sky, using his physical strength to crash into the three demon generals. He was like a moving mountain, colliding fiercely with them.
The lightning patterns on their limbs were lifelike, releasing bolts of lightning. Soon, the three demon generals were seen to be covered in black smoke, their meridians and origins having suffered considerable damage.
The three water dragons and the Taihao Flying Knife simultaneously revealed their killing intent. In the blink of an eye, one demon general was torn to pieces by the water dragon, while the other two were pierced through the forehead by the Taihao Flying Knife, their primordial spirits and true souls destroyed before they could escape.
It can be said that from the moment Mo Yuan chose to engage in battle, all of this happened within a quarter of an hour. He wiped out the Vine Demon King's subordinates with overwhelming force.
The combat power he displayed was not what one would expect from a late-stage True Immortal.
"hateful!"
"You mere ant at the late stage of True Immortal, yet you possess so many treasures and powerful methods. I, the King, will trample you under my feet and see what secrets your soul still holds."
"I will devour you as food to enhance my cultivation level. All your resources will belong to me."
The Vine Demon King gritted his teeth and roared at Mo Yuan.
They arrived in good health, but now they are all alone.
However, as long as he eliminates Mo Yuan and inherits all of his resources, he can improve his cultivation level and combat power, thereby enhancing his status among the demon race.
Then, even more powerful demon generals and demon soldiers will come to join him, and he will be able to regain his former prestige and domineering power.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan said calmly, "Judging from your background, you should be from some kind of vine-like spiritual wood. Logically speaking, you should be able to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, comprehend the ultimate principles of the heavens, and embark on a bright and righteous path."
"Unfortunately, you treat living beings like grass, and have devoured countless lives. Today, I will slay you, you demon, and bring justice to those who have been killed by you."
In the primordial world, the sins of killing and the karmic consequences are the most difficult to eliminate.
After slaying so many of the Vine Demon King's subordinates, Mo Yuan clearly sensed wisps of killing intent entering his body and then appearing in the Chaos Sea where his Dao Fruit resided.
The same applies to cause and effect, karma.
Although these acts of killing and karmic consequences did not increase the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, they would invisibly affect his fortune. If he were to be dragged into the great calamity of the Lich King in the dark, that would be even worse.
Only by eliminating the culprit, the Vine Demon King, can the karmic ties he has accumulated be severed on their own. However, the sin of killing is ultimately a thorny issue that requires him to cleanse himself with the merits of the Heavenly Dao.
Left with no other choice, Mo Yuan had to stand on the moral high ground and sentence the Vine Demon King to death.
In this way, Mo Yuan could kill him with a clear conscience.
"You ignorant brat, I am a demon king appointed by the Heavenly Court, guarding this vast and desolate land for His Majesty the Demon Emperor. Who dares to kill me? Who can kill me?"
"The Qilin Clan is long gone. Do you really think you're the young master of the Qilin Clan? In today's primordial world, members of the Qilin Clan are only fit to be mounts or servants to be driven around."
"How can fireflies rival the brilliance of the moon? Today, I will show you what the wrath of a demon king truly is! I will drain your blood and leave you to die in terror!"
The Vine Demon King was furious, and he said viciously.
Countless vines, gleaming with light, attacked from all directions with lightning speed, blocking Mo Yuan's retreat and seemingly trying to bind him tightly.
Mo Yuan made no move, letting the vines wrap around him.
Just as the Vine Demon King was manipulating the vines to pierce Mo Yuan's skin and suck his blood, the Qilin True Fire at the top of the Wind and Cloud Horn emitted a joyful Daoist cry, which then directly transformed into a sea of fire.
Mo Yuan and the Vine Demon King were both surrounded by this sea of fire.
The countless vines were no match for the burning Qilin True Fire, turning into dust in the blink of an eye, and then spreading towards the Vine Demon King's hands and arms.
"How is that possible?"
The Vine Demon King exclaimed in disbelief.
He severed his own hands and arms, then traversed the void to escape the sea of fire.
He doesn't understand!
How could Mo Yuan, who was only at the late stage of True Immortal, control such terrifying Qilin True Fire?
After learning about Mo Yuan's situation, he carefully studied the secrets of the Qilin clan and became certain that the Qilin True Fire wielded by Mo Yuan would not harm him.
But now, harsh reality has slapped him in the face.
Even a powerful Qilin clan member at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level wouldn't possess such formidable Qilin True Fire, would they?
Seeing the astonished expression on the Vine Demon King's face reminded Mo Yuan of Xuan Zhi Zi, who had the same expression when he saw him unleash the Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light.
Subsequently, Mo Yuan naturally realized that this demon in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm must have a good understanding of the Qilin clan, otherwise his reaction would not have been so strong.
"Xuanzhizi, Vine Demon King!"
"Those two demons will probably never have imagined that their defeat stemmed from knowing too much about the Qilin clan, which led to underestimating them. They never anticipated that I would be the variable they were facing!"
"My Qilin True Fire has reached the level of Auspicious Fire Reaching the Heavens, and it has a natural restraint on demons like the Vine Demon King who are rooted in spirit wood. Touching it will damage their very essence, and they can only escape by cutting off their tails like a gecko!"
Mo Yuan was at a loss for words. He had finally found a way to deal with the Vine Demon King: to use the Qilin True Fire to scorch him until he cried out in agony.
Taihao Flying Knife, Water Element Pearl, and Qianyuan Pagoda transformed into streams of light, instantly sealing off the east, west, and south directions, giving the Vine Demon King no chance to escape. Meanwhile, Mo Yuan activated the Qilin True Fire and charged towards the Vine Demon King.
"This is outrageous!"
When the Vine Demon King saw that Mo Yuan was coming on strong and seemed to have him cornered, he was so angry that his whole body trembled slightly.
With his hands forming hand seals, his dark robe instantly transformed into something tens of thousands of feet long, blocking his way and attempting to resist the burning of the Qilin True Fire.
"A low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, I am destined to have it!"
Mo Yuan realized that the dark robe worn by the Vine Demon King was actually a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and he then had another excuse to kill the Vine Demon King.
With a thought, Mo Yuan sent out a few drops of Earth Core Jade Breast Milk, shimmering with a mysterious yellow light, from the Qian Yuan Tower, which instantly fell into his mouth.
Earth Core Jade Breast Milk is a precious spiritual liquid that cleanses the marrow and tempers the body, but it can also replenish one's own magic power and vital energy at critical moments, allowing Mo Yuan to return to his peak state.
As the Earthly Ancestral Qi Scripture circulated within his body, those few drops of Earth Core Jade Breast Milk transformed into pure energy that filled his meridians, and soon his aura increased significantly.
Five-colored light crashes down from the sky, and a Qilin treads upon the heavens in a strike.
Mo Yuan unleashed these two divine abilities without hesitation. This practice of using a powerful move as a basic attack immediately aroused the resentment of the Vine Demon King, who then considered escaping.
As a demon king in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, he was forced into such a desperate situation by Mo Yuan. He felt ashamed and filled with resentment and regret. He shouldn't have provoked this young master of the Qilin clan.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, one should be forgiving when possible!"
"I am a demon king appointed by the Heavenly Court. Don't force me to perish together with you. I only wish to avoid using the trump card bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Court, otherwise you would have already been annihilated."
Blood trickled from the corner of the Vine Demon King's mouth as he staggered backward.
A jade slip appeared in his hand. As it was unfolded, demonic script appeared, and a vast and boundless demonic aura surged forth, containing some kind of forbidden energy.
The Vine Demon King's gaze fell upon the jade slip, his eyes filled with heartache.
This imperial edict jade slip was bestowed upon him by a powerful Heavenly Court expert at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm when he was officially appointed as a Demon King. Every Demon King listed in the Heavenly Court's register possesses an imperial edict jade slip.
Once the essence blood is dripped into it, an attack left behind by the Taiyi Golden Immortal will be activated, which should be enough to kill Mo Yuan.
However, after this attack, the imperial edict jade slip will turn to dust, which also means that he has lost his identity as the Demon King. It will be extremely difficult for him to regain the imperial edict from the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, the Vine Demon King was somewhat apprehensive. Mo Yuan possessed treasures such as the Water Element Pearl; if he were to survive this attack, he would have suffered a double loss, like trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice instead, losing both his wife and his army.
"Yeah?"
"Since you have such a trump card, then I will no longer hold back."
Mo Yuan's eyes gleamed as he looked at the imperial edict jade slip.
nice one!
If he could turn it into his own, he would have another trump card.
Seeing Mo Yuan advance instead of retreating, staring covetously at the imperial edict jade slip in his hand, the Vine Demon King's heart skipped a beat. Cold sweat poured down his back, as if the giant hand of death had gripped his lifeline.
Could it be that Mo Yuan still has unactivated treasures?
"escape!"
The Vine Demon King burned his essence and origin, flying towards the Water Element Pearl. He was confident he could dodge the attacks of the three water dragons and buy himself a chance to survive.
Mo Yuan is too terrifying; he is already afraid.
If time could be reversed, and he could have a chance to choose again, he would definitely not offend Mo Yuan.
"The Primordial Mirror, the Preface!"
"go!"
Mo Yuan ultimately chose to rely on the will of Pangu to suppress the Vine Demon King.
As the Primordial Mirror flew to the Vine Demon King's front, it opened itself, revealing the contents of the Order Chapter. Boundless and supreme power law runes appeared before the Vine Demon King.
Instinctively, the Vine Demon King wanted to see what Mo Yuan's treasure was, but with just one glance, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his primordial spirit was directly annihilated.
The demon king, a mid-stage Golden Immortal, couldn't even hold on for a single breath.
Just as the Vine Demon King fell, the imperial edict jade slip in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and a figure emerged from the jade slip.
"As expected of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, even a single imperial edict jade slip is so complex, able to operate on its own after the death of the Vine Demon King, and even attempting to harm me."
"Unfortunately, even powerful demons at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level must kneel and bow before the will of the Great God Pangu, becoming fish on a chopping board at my mercy!"
Mo Yuan remained unmoved, standing quietly in the distance.
