Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1000 - 638: The Toad God’s Generosity Aids My Cultivation
The nine great Sky Demons, all of whom are Demon Generals, Demon Consorts, and the like, each have their origins and are not lacking in experience.
Seeing Tao Qian take action and reveal the [Ancestor Demon Qi Eating Divine Pattern], they immediately realized they had fallen into a trap.
There was no time to look at those Old Demons laughing cunningly outside the net, so each of them spoke, either advising, threatening, or enticing, all hoping to save their own lives.
If it had been any other time, Tao Buddha’s son might have considered it.
Extracting benefits from these Upper Heaven Demons, stripping them to the bone.
But alas, now, the hour was truly pressing.
Tao Qian couldn’t be bothered to respond one by one, he simply sighed and said:
"Humans die for wealth, just as birds die for food!"
"Since you have all been driven by greed and come for my body, just accept your fate."
"To perish by my hand, it’s no humiliation to you."
With those words, he gave the nine demons no time to struggle.
The "Blood and Flesh Net" inscribed with the divine patterns abruptly tightened, and from its inner walls, various terrifying visions erupted, like Chaos Demon Teeth, Chaos Life Extinguishing Divine Light, Chaos Great Extinction Divine Water... and so on, all terrifying organs existing within the undying and omnivorous Dharma Body of the Chaos Demon Ancestor.
They had all been secretly learned by the second-generation patriarchs of the Secret Demon Sect and incorporated into the divine patterns, though far from the original, still sufficient to nullify the resistance of these Outer Realm Sky Demons.
Accompanied by several howls and curses, the resistance gradually weakened, until it vanished entirely.
Within the Peach Blossom Temple, ripples spread.
Subsequently, a mountain of flesh tumbled out with a rumble.
The head still retained the appearance of a handsome young man, but looking further down, it was far from human.
Bulging, bloated was secondary, the truly horrifying part was the nine fully pronounced alien forms bursting out beneath that thin layer of belly skin.
Here could be seen a frightening horse head, two panels of Bai Gu on either side, dozens of fierce infant silhouettes in the center, along with inhuman limbs, beautiful faces, and other things interspersed... If one listened closely, they could hear various rumbling, gurgling strange sounds coming from within Tao Qian’s abdomen.
He was in the process of digestion.
If it were the "Chaos Demon Ancestor" itself consuming the demonically tainted Qi, it would have been but a mouthful, not enough to fill the gap between its teeth.
For Tao Buddha’s son, it would take two or three days, and he must be cautious, otherwise, as one of the Demon Kings inside suggested, he could accidentally bloat to death.
...
At this moment, Tao Qian struggled to maintain his heart soul, contending with the tide of discomfort flooding his body, then thought to summon Fish Basket Guanyin.
As she entered the temple, she was immediately shocked, with a face full of disbelief and worry, she said:
"Such a form? With such divine patterns, could it be you’ve practiced the [Ancestor Demon Qi Eating Technique]?"
"I heard that this forbidden technique of the Secret Demon Sect was stolen from the Chaos Demon Ancestor, able to devour all things and transform them into one’s own mana... The supernatural ability is formidable, but you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, swallowing Sky Demons like Heavenly Steed Demon, White Bone Lady, Great Strength Demon King, and the Devouring Immortal General all at once."
"In half an hour, I’m afraid you won’t withstand the foul corrosion, and then you’ll be swollen to death."
"Do not panic, I called you here to perform something to resolve this peril."
Atop the mountain of flesh, Tao Qian’s handsome head now looked quite comical.
After replying to Fish Basket Guanyin, he quickly instructed and commanded:
"After my digestion, there will be remnants of foulness from the blood food, there is a Sublime Dharma to handle it."
"First, remember this ’Song of the Toad’, then construct a simple Toad God Temple, following this ritual path, call upon the Outer Realm Innate God Demon [Toad God] to kindly grant a Clear Heart Moon Toad Tile. Upon obtaining the tile, come to my side and every 15 minutes, use the Moon Toad Tile to tap my head, purging the foul evil Qi invading the heart soul."
"Thus, I can remain lucid... Perhaps you could also receive some reward from the Toad God."
Hearing this, the beauty holding the fish basket had eyes that immediately brightened.
With an expression of excitement, she began to move while unable to resist commenting:
"Previously, there were rumors in the Great Abyss that Tao Master Suppressing Evil, besides being favored by the Lingbao Tianzun, had deep ties with the [Toad God], now it seems to be true."
"Without any offerings, not even a disciple of the Nine Toad Sect, just reciting a Flattery Scripture, one can actually obtain the Moon Toad Tile?"
While speaking, the ritual setup was completed.
Fish Basket Guanyin adopted a reverent posture, chanting the Toad Song, the contents were all full of exaggerated praise, no different from a flattery scripture.
If it were any other Toad God follower, even if a true disciple of the Nine Toad Sect, with such a rudimentary ritual they’d be dreaming to obtain a [Clear Heart Moon Toad Tile] such a supreme treasure.
Tao Qian, however, was completely different.
While the fish-basket beauty chanted the scripture, at another place.
The esteemed Tao Master, with a fawning expression, gazed sincerely at a three-legged golden toad perched on his shoulder.
Though silent, the meaning was clear: "Toad God above, you have already seen, my disciple’s demonic avatar is in distress, you must extend your mercy and grant a tile, one for the sake of your disciple, two for you to witness the entertaining spectacle of its head being bashed."
Whether it was true kinship or the allure of a good show.
In the next moment, in Fish Basket Guanyin’s startled gaze, a tear in the void above appeared suddenly, an infinite treasure light flashed and disappeared, followed by a round tile inscribed with toad patterns, jade-like, falling down.
"Huh? It really is obtained."
"Imbued with divine charm, wonderful beyond words, with the toad god’s status, were I to wield it to bash someone, even a strong person in the Half-step Daoist Realm might fall and stumble from a single strike."
"Clang!"
Truly catching everyone off guard, Fish Basket Guanyin didn’t even utter a greeting.
