Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage-Chapter 65 - Chaos Heaven Demon Talks About Ancient

“Om——”

This black pearl trembled, as if it was going to fly out from the coffin. Wukong felt a sense of eeriness, lifted his staff, and struck the sarcophagus. Gold light burst forth from the staff, and he silently recited Buddhist scriptures, chanting the “Heart Sutra.”

Giant “swastika” symbols floated out, suppressing the area above the sarcophagus. Although he loathed the Buddhist Sect, he couldn’t deny that its cultivation techniques and scriptures were effective tools for dispelling evil!

The black pearl began to tremble violently, and a terrifying aura swept through, clearly surpassing the power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The Heaven-Defying Taoist also gave a light shout, pinched a Dharma Seal with one hand, and with the other, held up the Sun Shooting Divine Bow towards the void, suppressing it above the sarcophagus! The black pearl began to emanate streams of black aura, thick as ink, flowing around within the sarcophagus. The pearl’s tremors became increasingly violent. Despite Wukong pressing the sarcophagus with the might of ten million catties, it continued to shake as if it were about to break free at any moment.

“Roar——”

As the black pearl trembled, a divine sound transmitted directly into Wukong’s Niwan Palace, causing his Primordial Spirit to shudder.

The Heaven-Defying Taoist shouted, “This thing must be the sarira of those demon heads!”

Wukong also sensed this power and said, “In that case, I wonder why the Green Emperor would leave something like this behind?”

The black Qi in the sarcophagus transformed into a demon head, then a dragon, then a beautiful woman… it shifted endlessly. However, Wukong severed his evil thoughts and with his heart’s profound wisdom, which had been enlightened through the cycle of Reincarnation, how could he be confused by this sarira? The gold light bursting from the Buddha Beating Staff grew more and more intense, and Buddhist Sanskrit characters floated down into the sarcophagus.

“Thump!”

The sarira suddenly shook, the black Qi surging, and the entire sarcophagus cracked. Wukong shouted out as he saw he couldn’t suppress it any longer, and swung his staff down on the sarira! The strength of this blow was immense, surely enough to crush it into powder.

The sarira flashed and dodged, then charged towards Wukong’s forehead.

The Heaven-Defying Taoist gave a light cry and cast a Dharma Decree. The Heavenly Emperor’s Giant Seal headed straight towards the black sarira!

“Heh heh, thinking you can sneak up on me, it’s a bit too late for that!” The black sarira was crushed into powder, but Wukong remained vigilant, turning around to strike forcefully with his staff, immediately radiating dazzling golden light.

Just then, a Primordial Spirit attacked Wukong from behind, taking the shape of a demon head.

The demon head had abandoned its sarira that housed its Primordial Spirit, using the sarira to distract Wukong while the Primordial Spirit lurked nearby, ready to invade Wukong’s Niwan Palace and seize his body. But Wukong, clever and discerning, saw right through it, resulting in the enemy losing both the wife and the soldiers.

The demon head’s Primordial Spirit screeched and fled, touched by the golden light and emitting wisps of smoke and mist, but the Heaven-Defying Taoist, with True Sunfire swirling around him, blocked the doorway. He pinched a Dharma Seal and cast the Heavenly Emperor’s Giant Seal towards the demon head’s Primordial Spirit!

“Don’t kill me… I will gladly become your servant or beast of burden,” the demon head’s Primordial Spirit pleaded, transforming into a delicately beautiful young woman, who could melt any heart with her deferent look and gentle voice.

But who was the Heaven-Defying Taoist? Unlike Wukong, who severed his evil thoughts, the Taoist was utterly cold and emotionless. What use was such pleading? The Primordial Spirit’s Art of Enchantment might have some effect on Wukong, but to the Heaven-Defying Taoist, it was like “playing the lute to a cow.”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist sneered and said, “This demon head is proficient in the Art of Enchantment, and quite formidable at it!”

Wukong laughed and said, “Perfect, perfect! I have yet to assimilate over two thousand of the Three Thousand Great Paths, and this Path of Enchantment counts as one.”

The demon’s Primordial Spirit was greatly shocked and said, “Taoist Master, Taoist Master, please do not kill your servant… Your servant is willing to work like an ox or a horse.”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist said indifferently, “Hmph, your art of enchantment is useless against me, even if the witches from the Asura Blood Sea were to use such spells on me, they would be futile! Now I ask you, what exactly are you?”

Seeing that the art of enchantment had no effect, the demon’s Primordial Spirit didn’t dare to struggle. After all, it was now being held in the palm of the Heaven-Defying Taoist, who was deploying the Heavenly Emperor’s Giant Seal. With True Sunfire surrounding it, fiercely burning, just a single clasp of the hand would reduce it to ashes, never to recover. It had no choice but to say, “I am a Chaos Heaven Demon…”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist frowned and said, “Chaos Heaven Demon, what is that?”

The demon’s Primordial Spirit hurriedly replied, “In ancient times, when Pangu was Splitting Heaven and Earth, there were three thousand demon gods obstructing him, but Hong Jun wielded the Slaying Immortal Four Swords, forming the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, and together with Pangu, they slaughtered all three thousand demon gods clean. We are of the same origin as those demon gods, born from chaos, hence we are called Chaos Heaven Demons.”

Wukong said, “So, you are a demon spawned from chaos…”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist asked, “Then how did you end up inside this coffin?”

The Chaos Heaven Demon replied, “I was imprisoned here by the Green Emperor, Ling Weiyang.”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist further inquired, “If you are a Chaos Heaven Demon, then you should have grown within chaos, why did you come to this Earth Immortal Realm?”

This continent is known as the Earth Immortal Realm, a name long established, though some also call it the Mortal World, with various names used.

The Chaos Heaven Demon then said, “Pangu’s act of Splitting Heaven and Earth was against the natural order, a rebellion against the Great Paths… We were ordered to come and slay cultivators within the Earth Immortal Realm.”

Wukong understood in his heart; it was because of these Chaos Heaven Demons that the ancient battle took place, surely a tremendously difficult fight with blood raining down, flames of war engulfing the entire Earth Immortal Realm, to the extent that even Nuwa wept blood… After listening to the Chaos Heaven Demon, Wukong then asked, “How high are the cultivation levels of you Heaven Demons?”

The Chaos Heaven Demon dared not lie and could only say, “If to be classified by the realms of your Earth Immortal Realm, each demon head would be a Taiyi Golden Immortal.”

Hearing this, Wukong couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart; it was no wonder they originated from chaos, blessed by nature, all of them were Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Once the Chaos Heaven Demon finished speaking, the Heaven-Defying Taoist clapped his hands together, and the True Sunfire blazed fiercely!

The Chaos Heaven Demon cried out, “You cannot kill me!”

But Wukong had already sat down cross-legged, while the Heaven-Defying Taoist used the True Sunfire to completely melt away the thoughts of the Chaos Heaven Demon within the Primordial Spirit. He then tossed the Primordial Spirit to Wukong, who grabbed it with one hand and, circulating the Hongmeng Dharma Gate, displayed the Three Thousand Transformations, absorbing the Primordial Spirit into his body. After a moment, two more marks appeared on his Golden Core, for the Path of Enchantment and the Path of Chaos. Wukong did not understand what this Path of Chaos was and had no matching spells to deploy it, but he did not find it useless. He needed to acquire Three Thousand Great Paths for his Dharma Gate; otherwise, his Golden Core would not reach Perfection.

Wukong said, “The two paths I comprehended from this demon’s Primordial Spirit are not very useful; there are no corresponding Dharma Decrees to deploy.”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist shrugged and said, “Three Thousand Great Paths, after assimilating part of the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Sense, I only managed to gather just over nine hundred. I’ve been accumulating for so long and have gathered only a few dozen more. The road to the Great Paths is long and arduous! You haven’t succeeded in Enlightenment yet, my friend, you must keep striving.”

Wukong pondered for a moment and said, “I’ve noticed there are thirty brick houses here; I fear every one of them contains the Primordial Spirit sarira of a Chaos Heaven Demon. It would be best to refine them all.”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist replied, “That’s a good idea; refining these demon Primordial Spirits could indeed deepen our Mana.”

But when the two came out, the buildings had all vanished, and turning around, even the brick house they had just left had disappeared.

“How come they’re all gone?” Wukong asked with a frown.

The Heaven-Defying Taoist said, “There were thirty such structures here, those twenty-nine others must also have entered this Ancient Battlefield, gaining the secrets of the Ancient Battle from those demons… That’s why they’ve disappeared.”

Wukong asked, “Then why didn’t we see anyone?”

The Heaven-Defying Taoist said, “It must be the Green Emperor’s doing; he must have his reasons for acting in such a manner!”

At that moment, the remaining twenty-nine had all extracted the secrets of the Ancient Era from the Chaos Heaven Demons.

The Great Might Heavenly Dragon brought his hands together and chanted “Amitabha Buddha,” sighing, “Such a great secret was hidden in the battle of the Ancient Era! These Chaos Heaven Demons came from chaos, so where is this chaos exactly?”

Everyone was momentarily stunned, coming to understand the reason behind the ancient battle of the Ancient Era.

So it turns out that such events occurred during the Ancient Era, even Pangu’s act of creation was obstructed by demon gods…
