I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

He took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation, and called out in a low voice, "System, what's wrong with this guy? Why can't I kill him?"

In his mind, the system's voice was calm and clear: "The Plague Demon God is the incarnation of the Great Dao of Plague. As long as the Great Dao is extinguished, his body will never die."

The host's current methods are insufficient to directly eliminate its existence.

Jiang Wang frowned and pressed, "Then what's the best way to solve it? We can't just keep dragging this out!"

The system paused for a moment, then slowly said, "There are two methods."

Firstly, the host can comprehend higher-level plague laws, devour the origin of the demon god, take its place, and become the new embodiment of the Great Dao of Plague.

Secondly, they used special methods to suppress the demon god, confining it to a certain place and severing its connection with the Plague Road.

"Swallow?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang's face darkened, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

The laws of plague are inherently insidious and unpredictable. He already found comprehending the laws of space complex, let alone this nauseating path of plague. To replace it and become the embodiment of the Great Dao of Plague? What difference would that be from falling into the demonic path? Jiang Wang immediately rejected the first path and said in a deep voice, "How do you devise a method of suppression? Be specific!"

As if anticipating his reaction, the system calmly replied, "Suppressing a demon god requires a Chaos Treasure as its foundation to completely sever its connection with the Great Dao and permanently imprison it."

"A Chaos Spiritual Treasure?"

Jiang Wang was taken aback, and his expression grew even more unpleasant.

Chaos treasures are incredibly precious, extremely rare even in the primordial world. Even saints might not possess one. How could a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal like him possibly acquire one? "System, are you kidding me? Where am I supposed to find a Chaos treasure?"

The system seemed amused by his tone, its voice carrying a hint of mockery: "Host, don't worry. Although Chaos Treasures are difficult to obtain, there are alternatives."

If the spatial barrier is enhanced with the merits of the Great Dao, it can temporarily suppress the demon god.

The merit of the Great Dao can imprison someone for ninety years; if the merit is greater, the imprisonment period can be extended.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang felt a slight sense of relief, but then frowned again.

He still possesses the merits of the Three Yuan Great Dao, which he accumulated through numerous hardships and originally intended to use for other purposes, such as breaking through his cultivation level or refining magical treasures.

Now, however, it's a real pain to use it to suppress this plague demon.

However, he then thought that if the plague demon was allowed to run rampant, causing widespread suffering and death among the creatures of the prehistoric world, especially damaging the fortunes of the human race, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In comparison, while the merits of the Three Realms are precious, they must be relinquished.

"That's it!"

Jiang Wang gritted his teeth, his gaze refocusing on the Plague God, and said in a deep voice, "You claim to be immortal and indestructible, don't you? I'd like to see how long you can last!"

The Plague Demon God seemed to sense Jiang Wang's killing intent. The black mist churned even more violently, and a hint of wariness flashed in its scarlet eyes: "Jiang Wang, what kind of trick are you up to now? Hmph, with your meager skills, don't even think about touching me!"

Jiang Wang sneered and said no more. He slowly raised his hands, and his internal magic power surged like a river, all flowing into the spatial barrier around him.

At the same time, with a thought, he invoked the merits of the One Yuan Great Dao.

The power of merit, like a golden stream of light, surged from his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that merged into the barrier.

In an instant, the spatial barrier shone brightly, its original silver light was replaced by gold, emanating a righteous aura and faintly exuding the pressure of the Heavenly Dao.

The Plague God let out a roar of shock and rage, and the black mist crashed wildly into the barrier, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, failing to even stir up a ripple.

As the golden light flowed, a strange suction force arose within the barrier, and the Plague God's primordial power was slowly stripped away and merged into the barrier.

"This is... the power of merit?!"

The Plague Demon God's voice finally carried a hint of panic, "Jiang Wang, you actually dare to use your Great Dao merits to deal with me? Are you insane?"

Jiang Wang remained expressionless, his hands forming hand seals, causing the barrier to continuously shrink, trapping the Plague Demon God within.

He said coldly, "Whether I'm crazy or not is not for you to decide."

"Since you like immortality, then stay here in this barrier!"

As he spoke, a thought struck him, and he took out a bright green leaf from his storage magic treasure.

This leaf may seem ordinary, but it is a rare treasure he acquired in his early years, capable of carrying the power of space.

He compressed the barrier to the size of a palm, attached it to the leaves, and it transformed into a small ball of light, emitting a faint golden glow.

The Plague Demon God's voice emanated from the ball of light, angry yet powerless: "Jiang Wang, you think this can trap me? The day I break free, I will make you pay the price!"

Jiang ignored him, carefully tucking the leaf into his sleeve, but turned his gaze to the distance.

During their battle, he gleaned a secret from the Plague God: besides the Plague God and the Bloodthirsty God, a Curse God lurked in the primordial world.

This demon god is cunning and can randomly curse and kill living beings, making it difficult even for saints to guard against.

Jiang Wang felt a heavy weight in his heart. If the three demon gods joined forces, the prehistoric world would be in grave danger.

Just then, the system voice sounded again: "Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and successfully suppressing the Plague God."

Rewards: One copy of the Plague Law Enlightenment Technique, and one chance to draw experience points.

Jiang Wang was slightly taken aback, looking at the leaves in his sleeve with a complicated expression.

While the Plague Law Enlightenment Technique is a valuable resource, its effect on "replacing the Demon God" is questionable.

He always harbored resistance to this matter.

That path was ultimately not what he wanted.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and murmured, "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are still fighting a fierce battle. I need to get there to provide support as soon as possible."

With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.

In the void, only that leaf trembled slightly, emitting a faint golden light, as if telling the lingering echoes of this battle.

Jiang Wang stood in the void, with clouds and mist swirling beneath his feet, his gaze as deep as an abyss, looking down at the edge of the chaotic space.

That wisp of eerie green light appeared and disappeared at the edge of the field of vision, emanating a chilling aura of plague, as if even space itself was being slightly distorted by its erosion.

He frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He had little interest in this so-called plague god.

Although the green sphere cage could temporarily imprison this chaotic demon god, what Jiang Wang was more concerned about was the chaotic spiritual treasure that was sleeping deep in the system—the Heaven-Opening Axe.

Nine hundred million experience points and ninety years of time—this was originally a hurdle that was difficult to overcome.

Jiang Wang stood with his hands behind his back, his robes swaying gently in the breeze, his thoughts churning like a tide.

He wasn't an impatient person, but the pressure of time always made people feel stressed.

At that moment, he was startled and suddenly remembered the laws of time that he had already comprehended.

At that moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He raised his right hand, palm down, and tapped his fingertips lightly, creating ripples in the air, like water being rippled by a gentle breeze.

The power of the laws of time flowed silently, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and even the light of distant stars became slow and soft.

Jiang Wang's gaze locked onto the green sphere cage. With a thought, the laws of time, like invisible threads, wrapped around the green sphere.

He used his own power to compress the flow of time inside the green sphere to 1/396th of that outside.

In this way, the ninety years inside the Green Sphere would be nothing more than a few months outside.

He muttered to himself, "In that case, nine hundred million experience points will no longer be a problem." Having completed this operation, Jiang Wang did not stop.

He raised his hand and waved it, activating the laws of space. A dark crack appeared in the void, emanating a chaotic aura.

He casually tossed the green sphere cage into it, completely exiling it to the depths of the chaotic space.

He clapped his hands, as if he had accomplished a trivial task, but his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He sensed that the auras of Patriarch Bodhi and the others had vanished without a trace from the chaotic space.

"strangeness."

Jiang Wang muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although Bodhi and the others did not reveal their whereabouts in the Three Realms, their disappearance inevitably aroused suspicion.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his head, a confident smile curving his lips: "Whatever your schemes may be, with my current strength, I can handle them all."

Without further thought, he flashed and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards Fusang Continent in the Southern Jambudvipa.

Fusang Island, once a fertile land of prosperous Chinese people, is now a living hell.

Even before Jiang Wang had fully arrived, the air was filled with the stench of blood.

Looking around, hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty people seemed to have lost their souls, their eyes bloodshot, tearing at each other, their wails and screams intertwined.

On the ground, blood flowed like a river, and severed limbs were everywhere. The bodies of more than 100,000 people were piled up, a scene so horrific that it made one's heart clench.

Jiang Wang hovered in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the wind. His gaze swept over the scene of carnage, and his emotions surged like a tide.

From the moment he first entered the world of Journey to the West, his aim was to draw lots based on luck and strengthen his own power.

However, as time went by, his bond with the human race grew stronger.

Those faces struggling to survive, those helpless eyes, stirred an indescribable sense of responsibility within him.

He whispered, "Humanity shall rise."

In the distance, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were working together to maintain a magnificent array.

The formation shone with golden light, resembling a surging river encircling a ferocious demon god.

The demon god's form was blurry, its entire body blood-red, and the bloodthirsty power it emitted distorted the surrounding space.

Sweat beaded on the foreheads of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. With their combined efforts, the eight of them barely managed to trap the Bloodthirsty Demon God within the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array.

Although this formation can absorb the divine power of the demon god, the bloodthirsty demon god is the embodiment of the Great Dao born from chaos. Even if his divine power is drained, he can still use the power of the laws to continuously destroy the formation.

The eight people had to take turns repairing the formation, leaving them exhausted.

Fuxi sat cross-legged in one corner of the formation, holding an ancient zither. The melodious music carried a calming power.

The bloodlust of the people corrupted by the law of bloodlust gradually faded under the soothing sound of the zither, and they regained some of their senses.

However, cracks frequently appeared in the formation, forcing Fuxi to stop playing the zither and work with the other seven to repair it.

As soon as the music stopped, the people, who had not fully recovered, went into a frenzy again, tearing each other apart and causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

Jiang Wang's gaze fell on Fuxi, and a slight thought crossed his mind.

He greatly admired the persistence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but he also understood that the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation alone could not completely trap the Bloodthirsty Demon God.

He no longer concealed his presence; in a flash, he appeared before the great formation.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors sensed a vast aura descending upon them, and they all looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

Jiang Wang, dressed in a white robe, exuded an extraordinary aura. The rich human aura emanating from his body was almost tangible, transforming into golden light that surrounded him.

The eight people looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.

This kind of fortune far surpasses what they had obtained in the past, and even makes them wonder if the person in front of them is the embodiment of humanity.

Fuxi was the first to regain his senses, and he stood up and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I have long admired your name. Meeting you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

The other seven also bowed, their eyes filled with respect.

They knew that Jiang Wang had protected the human race and resolved crises many times, and that his appearance this time must be for the calamity in Fusang Continent.

Jiang Wang waved his hand and said calmly, "There's no need for such formalities, everyone."

I have come here solely to defeat the bloodthirsty demon god and protect humanity.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the eight people, and said in a deep voice, "I have no intention of coveting the throne of the King of Men."

If an outsider becomes king, he will likely be ridiculed by all races.

This matter will be discussed again after the demon god is dealt with.

Upon hearing this, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were both moved and deeply shocked.

They originally thought that Jiang Wang would gladly accept the position of King of Men, after all, his fortune was unparalleled.

Unexpectedly, he refused for such a reason.

Fuxi sighed, "Fellow Daoist Jiang cares deeply for the human race; we admire him."

"The matter of demons and gods is entirely up to you, fellow Daoist."

Jiang Wang nodded, said no more, and stepped directly into the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array.

Inside the formation, the Bloodthirsty Demon God roared repeatedly, and the power of the crimson laws surged like a tide, attempting to tear the formation apart.

Jiang Wang snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved it. The laws of space were activated instantly, the space within the formation solidified, forming an invisible barrier that firmly trapped the demon god.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the power of the system, amplifying the merit of the One Yuan Great Dao. Golden light shone forth, like a blazing sun, suppressing the Bloodthirsty Demon God so that he could not move.

With another thought, he activated the laws of time, causing the flow of time around the demon god to slow down abruptly, making his movements extremely sluggish.

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes, and the system notification sounded: "Ding! Successfully suppressed the Bloodthirsty Demon God, rewarded with the Bloodthirsty Law comprehension method and one experience point lottery chance."

Meanwhile, as the power of the laws dissipated, the people below gradually regained their senses, collapsed to the ground, their joy at surviving the ordeal palpable.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all amazed when they saw this.

The Yellow Emperor couldn't help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist Jiang's methods are extraordinary; the demon god was suppressed so easily!"

They thought Jiang Wang had killed the Bloodthirsty Demon God, but Jiang Wang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The Chaos Demon God is immortal and indestructible. I have only imprisoned him."

He briefly explained the matter of the green sphere cage and the chaotic space, and everyone's expressions turned solemn after hearing it.

Jiang Wang continued, "Hongjun secretly sent three demon gods to wreak havoc on the human race. The plague and bloodlust have been controlled, but the curse demon god has not yet appeared."

Currently, over 30,000 people worldwide have been cursed to death; the methods used are insidious and difficult to trace.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry.

Fuxi said in a deep voice, "The cursed demon god acts in secrecy, and the people he curses and kills are completely unpredictable."

Recently, three men named Wang Xinghan died as a result of a curse; their hearts, lungs, and kidneys ruptured, a brutal act. (End of Chapter)
