Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1043 - 660: The Demon Child Body Nears Enlightenment, Tao Master Secretly Plots for Primordial

He just estimated the hour, then spoke again with a strange tone:

"With this Divine Smoke of yours, you can break the realm and seek your father in a breath. I truly cannot stop you, for this is my [death tribulation]."

"However, I see Brother Baimu's tattered Dharma Body, and it can't hold on much longer under my corrosion."

"In half a stick of incense, brother will perish and his Dao will vanish."

"If the [Primordial Yang Demon God] cannot arrive within this time, this will be your death tribulation."

Upon hearing these words from Tao Qian, the maddened Baimu Demon Lord couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His pained expression eased a little.

"Hahaha... what an ignorant and arrogant fool of a Demon Child."

"Half a stick of incense?"

"Within ten breaths, my father will surely come."

"Fine!"

"You and I will take ten breaths as the limit, and see whose death tribulation it really is."

Tao Qian, seeming a bit excited, actually agreed to this.

Throughout this process, he didn't pause his actions at all, still using various terrifying alien skills to wear down Baimu Demon Lord.

Ten breaths of time!

It is extremely brief, but for Baimu, it felt incredibly long.

Initially, he was utterly certain, as if it were meant to be that way, that his father, the Primordial Yang Demon God, would appear to save his life, like the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

But soon, the ten breaths passed.

The Divine Smoke was still wafting, but the Primordial Yang Demon God had not descended.

Unable to believe it, Baimu Demon Lord frantically cried out:

"No... this is impossible."

"With the divine might of Father God, even though the Primordial Yang Realm and the Search God Realm are far apart, He should be able to cross the Source Sea and descend instantly. Why hasn't He arrived yet?"

"Could it be that some change in the Search God Realm has blocked His entry into the world?"

...

Just when Baimu Demon Lord sensed something amiss and grew even more frantic.

In Tao Qian's mind, the Secret Demon voice transmission from [Master Xu Yu Zi] suddenly came.

"Ten breaths ago, the initially slumbering Primordial Yang Demon God was awakened by the bloodline Divine Smoke of his descendant, attempting to send part of His body to the Search God Realm but was stopped by thirteen Secret Demon Ancestors."

"You have roughly half a stick of incense, but if you exceed this time limit, and the Primordial Yang Demon God fully awakens, even the ancestors cannot obstruct Him anymore, lest True Fire breaks out. Losing one or two ancestors is an outcome no ancestor would accept to save face for you."

"If by half a stick of incense you cannot refine the Baimu Demon Lord, exile him from the Search God Realm. Without reason, the broken Heavenly Dao of this realm might still protect you."

"Yes, thank you, all ancestors, for your assistance. This kid understands."

He replied to Master Xu Yu Zi.

The heavy stone in Tao Qian's heart also completely fell, the death omen no longer Flashing.

The killing intent in his eyes oddly dissipated too, for a simple reason. The tribulation was decided, and to Tao Qian, the [Baimu Demon Lord] before him was no longer a mortal enemy, but an ultimate Demon Pill that could help him achieve Dao.

Given this fact, how could there be any intent or hatred? He couldn't even love it fast enough.

He saw Tao Buddha's son sigh softly, yet whether it was true or false compassion, he said:

"The ten breaths are over, it seems this is still Daoist Baimu's tribulation."

"Rest easy, with your body, my Dao can be achieved."

With this said, Tao Qian no longer cared how the Baimu Demon Lord struggled or what kind of frenzied howls he emitted, focusing solely on eroding and devouring.

Not too long, just three or two breaths passed.

Inside his body, there was a massive "boom," and the Source Qi surged like a tide, breaking through the gates, and his Mana once again surged to a new level.

In his mind, a large amount of recorded fruit burst forth:

[Acquiring the second level of Primordial Yang Inheritance!]

[Learned 'Innate Primordial Yang Divine Pattern'... This is the secret transmitted Divine Pattern of the Primordial Yang lineage, containing supreme principles.]

[Learned 'Divine Rune Diagram and Heavenly Book Notes.']

[Learned 'Taishang Nine Yang Eight Talisman True Text.']

[Learned 'Primordial Yang Red Crown Divine Chapter.']

...

Clearly, yet another layer of Divine Rune defense was eroded and penetrated by Tao Qian.

Baimu Demon Lord's centuries of arduous cultivation were all washed away without a trace, completely devoured by Tao Qian.

The pain of such an encounter is unimaginable to average people.

Even a God Demon descendant couldn't bear it, emitting a wailing cry that shook heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, the death tribulation had already enveloped him. No matter how unwilling the Baimu Demon Lord was, how could he escape? He couldn't stop Tao Qian's devouring, not having even the slightest power to resist, only hoping the [Primordial Yang Demon God] would hurry and save his life.

Yet, his father simply wouldn't come.

Very quickly, the third, fourth, and fifth layers of defense were also broken through.

The Baimu Demon Lord, with thousands of years of cultivation, lost it all in one morning.

Initially, he had the strength to curse and scream, but soon he was without strength, reduced to mere wailing, and later transformed into sobbing.

All of this, Tao Qian turned a deaf ear to.

Now, as a Demon Child body, cunning as a ghost, and extremely greedy. If it were some innocent being crying and wailing before him, he might be willing to show some mercy on behalf of his true self.

But who was Baimu Demon Lord?

A ferocious Evil Demon. Given the sins he accumulated over the past millennia, even a punishment like "a thousand cuts" or "True Fire burn" wouldn't be excessive.

Being devoured of all cultivation and Dao Heng was just the most suitable outcome for him.

...

It is unknown how long has passed, whether it has been half a stick of incense time.

Tao Qian only knew, when he awakened from the erosion, that the [Ancestral God Qi Eating Technique] was no longer operation, his stomach empty, no longer hearing cries of the Baimu Demon Lord, nor seeing the Divine Smoke wafting before his eyes.

With no sense of crisis in his heart, he immediately knew he had succeeded.

What was supposed to be a tribulation of certain death was successfully overcome by him.

The saying goes, great calamities must bring good fortune.
