Chapter 187, Page 186: [What? My world was shattered by the Heavenly Demon?]

The celestial demon that appeared in the void had a human-like appearance.

With curved horns on its head, a black face and fangs, purple eyes and red hair, the upper body of the Yang God was sculpted into a strong and muscular form, while the lower body was a wisp of black smoke that gradually thinned...

The Heavenly Demon's hundred-foot-tall demonic body hovered before the planet-sized fruit, appearing extremely small, yet its attitude was extremely arrogant.

He stared at the cracks in the orange-red membrane of the mortise and tenth heaven, crossed his arms over his chest, and the greed in his heart transformed into purple flames that burned fiercely in his eyes.

"My people, who are born from my demonic energy, have done well. They have actually damaged the fruit from the inside to this extent."

As your catalyst, I have destroyed five fruits of varying sizes and have extensive experience. I know all too well how to speed up the destruction of the fruit now. Let me lend you a hand.

Of course, as a reward, I will also receive a share of the blessing of the Path of Destruction.

In the void, the Heavenly Demon smiled broadly.

He did have extensive experience in destroying fruits, but in the past he had only conquered weak worlds below the fifth rank. How could they compare to the fruit in front of him that could accommodate a fifth-rank cultivator?

The thought that he had arrived just in time and could share in the rich blessings of the Path of Destruction filled him with uncontrollable elation.

It is not too late.

The next moment, his Yang spirit transformed into a black and red demonic aura and burrowed into the crack in the membrane of heaven and earth.

It continued to destroy the seal that filled within it, used for temporary bonding, and disappeared deeper into the fruit.

"Is this the Heavenly Demon who cast the dragon's corpse into this world?"

The moment the demon arrived near the fruit, Chen Sheng, with his will permeating the entire fruit, saw the demon's figure.

His mind raced, and he immediately mobilized the information stored in the fruit pit to simulate Ying Zheng's voice, which was filled with the thoughts of the Heavenly Demon, and transmitted it to the Heavenly Demon.

“Get out!

"This fruit is my spoils of war. If you dare to enter, you will be making an enemy of me!"

Although they are all celestial demons, they are in competition with each other when destroying the fruits of their labor.

"Haha, junior, you're quite perceptive to have detected me so quickly."

"Unfortunately, my Heavenly Demon clan has always been fond of helping the weak and oppressed, and I came here to help you. Why don't you appreciate it?"

The demon laughed loudly and sped forward through the crevice.

Chen Sheng secretly weakened the seal that filled the gaps, guiding the opponent's movement trajectory while continuing to act.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I do not need your help here."

"Haha, you can only accept my act of helping others."

"This is outrageous! In that case, let's see who's the real deal."

"Good, you have ambition. Only someone like you, who is invincible within a single fruit and has cultivated an invincible mindset, would dare to say such a thing."

Back then, I was just as naive and arrogant as you, until I left the land that gave me life and nurtured me. Only then did I, like a frog jumping out of a well, realize how vast the world truly was…

The words of the Heavenly Demon were a powerful attack. He constantly used words to provoke any weak thoughts that might exist in the hearts of his kin, and then pierced through the inner membrane of the Heaven and Earth.

Then he saw the blue sky and the dark earth, and a person with a Yama fruit pit embedded between his eyebrows, whose crystal-clear Yang God only had a pair of eyes and a furnace, was floating nearby, calmly watching him.

"No, it's a scam!"

The Heavenly Demon was startled and immediately transformed into a beam of demonic light, turning back to flee the way it had come.

The Heavenly Demons are a race favored by the Path of Destruction; even if they obtain the core of the Yama Fruit, they are destined to be unable to become the rulers of the world.

The moment the Heavenly Demon saw Chen Sheng, the man who had merged with the core of the Yama Fruit, he understood:
His clansmen, who were formed from his demonic energy, turned out to be useless. After creating a cataclysmic disaster that severely damaged the fruit, the fruit gave birth to a savior hero. As his clansmen were killed, the savior hero naturally became the master of the fruit.

This story is cliché, but for the demons who specialize in invading the world, it's inevitable that they'll get their shoes wet if they walk by the river often enough. Occasionally, they'll hear about their clansmen getting into trouble with some kind of fruit.

I never expected to run into it today.

Despite the fruit's broken appearance, even the most impoverished world ruler possesses the immense power to manipulate heaven and earth; he is no match for it.

If you can't beat them, you have to run away.

Little did they know, there was no way back from the crack in the membrane between heaven and earth behind them.

Click!

"what……"

The demon's body crashed into the golden, shimmering crack, and was torn into shattered demonic energy by a sudden burst of golden lightning.

Then, even more golden lightning bolts shot out from the gap, forming a dense net that enveloped him.

Seeing this, the demonic energy immediately tried to hide in the space and escape, but it could not pass through the seemingly large mesh of the lightning net. Instead, it was blasted out by the powerful lightning bolts and was seriously injured.

This golden lightning was originally a type of magical lightning that the Thunder Emperor and the Radiant Sun God could only condense at the sixth level.

Now that Chen Sheng has used the power of the fruit to condense it in advance, it is naturally easy to deal with a fifth-tier demon.

After struggling to escape for a while, the demon finally realized the situation and stopped struggling in vain.

He gathered his Yang Spirit into a single mass, and with a fierce yet restrained expression, looked at Chen Sheng not far away and laughed.

"Lord of the World, I advise you not to kill me, or you will surely regret it."

My demon race's Eastern Region Bliss Demon King, who wants to attain the realm of the eighth-order Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, is currently leading a Heavenly Demon army to wreak havoc on the Ren-character side branch.

I am one of the soldiers.

Previously, I wandered around the area and sensed that some fruits in the area I had been in were about to perish, so I reported this matter remotely.

Within a few days to a few months, members of their kind will arrive one after another to witness the destruction of the world.

If I die here, the Demon King will tear you, this tattered fruit, to shreds, and refine you, the ruler of this world, into a servant of the Heavenly Demon, keeping you by his side to enslave you for eternity…”

"The Demon King of Elysium?"

The words of the Heavenly Demon stirred a ripple in Chen Sheng's clear and tranquil mind. For the first time, his bright black and white eyes looked directly at the Heavenly Demon.

The pupils dilate slightly, and the field of vision shifts.

The world in his eyes became a combination of vast information and various energy fluctuations.

Through the constant information exchange between the individual and the world, his gaze penetrated directly through the layers of the demon's image, and he quickly found and read through the other party's life memories.

The information he gleaned from it made Chen Sheng's heart sink.

"There really is such a demon army in this void nearby."

Chen Sheng was able to discern from the Heavenly Demon's memories that some of his words were true and some were false.

The Blissful Demon King, at the seventh-order Dharma Body realm, did indeed lead a group of Heavenly Demons from the eastern region of the Yama Fruit Tree's roots to the Ren-character branch to plot his advancement to the eighth order. However, his report of discovering the fruit's impending destruction was merely a ruse to deceive Chen Sheng.

In order to seize the blessing of the Path of Destruction from his own kind, he did not inform anyone.

Even so, the fruits of the main world and this world all hang on the branches of the Ren-character tree.

"There's a seventh-tier demon lord nearby who's dedicated to the Destruction Fruit; this is making my situation somewhat dangerous."

Having obtained such important information by chance, Chen Sheng focused most of his energy on the part of the Heavenly Demon's memory related to the Demon King of Bliss.

Because the image of a powerful figure in the demonic path often carries extremely important metaphors and symbols of power, his first focus was on the somewhat strange image of the Blissful Heavenly Demon.

It is a Dharma image composed of two bodies sitting back to back.

The figure on the left is a woman, bald with no eyebrows, fair skin, beautiful face, and graceful figure, with no hair on her entire body.

Somewhere within the body, there exists a place like an abyss, warm, moist, loving, and compassionate, brimming with vitality, as if capable of nurturing all life in the world.

The body on the right is that of a man with thick black hair, dark skin, a ferocious face, a strong physique, and a body covered with a thick layer of hair.

It also possesses majestic masculine features, exuding yang, strength, and power, and carries a long human-shaped bag in its hand, which seems to contain a vast source of life.

The male and female share the same spine, each displaying the appearance of a Buddha or a demon, yet they are born as one, making them appear both strange and sacred.

This is what the Demon of Bliss looks like. According to legend, He controls all the pleasures of desire between men and women in the world, as well as the power related to procreation.

It can make sentient beings addicted to pleasure and unable to extricate themselves, and can also give birth to a large number of celestial demons after exchanging themselves or with others, and has the other name of "the demon that breeds thousands of children and grandchildren".

According to His plan, He came to the Ren-character tree branch this time to first take a batch of low- to mid-grade fruits to accumulate power. The ultimate goal was to destroy the Bei Ke World and seek to advance to the eighth-order cultivator.

"Life is truly full of disappointments, eight or nine out of ten times."

I've worked so hard on the Jambudvipa tree for so long, and finally built up this little bit of wealth. How could I have encountered such a calamity?

Sigh, it seems that next time I'm reincarnated, I'd better leave the branch with the character "壬" and establish a few bases on other branches.

Once things are running smoothly over there, perhaps we can move our main body there to avoid this disaster.

Hmm... That doesn't seem right either. Is there any absolutely safe place in the world? If this place is dangerous, does that mean other places are safe?

The most reliable way to deal with this is to increase your own strength.

"Huh? In a world where people are crippled, would anyone really want to become the ruler of the world?"

"I can easily break this rotten fruit."

Just as Chen Sheng was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a male and female voice overlapping each other.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the Blissful Demon from the Heavenly Demon's memory had come to life. Both heads turned to look at him and spoke.

“My name is Viraja, benefactor, would you be willing to give me the fruits of your possession?”

Moreover, the changes that occurred in his memory also caused the Yang spirit of the external demon to become distorted and deformed, transforming into the appearance of the Blissful Demon.

"Made."

Upon seeing this, Chen Sheng couldn't help but swear.

The golden light of the Yama Fruit pit between his brows shone brightly, and a large hole immediately appeared on the membrane of heaven and earth in front of him, pushing out the rapidly changing demon.

Like a cannonball, it was launched far into the void.

The surface of the fruit was soon covered with golden lightning, making it look like a golden hedgehog.

Inside the fruit, Chen Sheng's expression was serious.

He had seen Zhao Ji use this method of perceiving the world through the memories of others once, in Wang Wenqing's memory.

But that was within the same world, only a few thousand miles apart, and Zhao Ji did not have the ability to descend through memories.

But now, not only is there the World Membrane as a barrier, but he and the Blissful Demon King are also separated by a vast void. How could the other party project his will into him? Are seventh-level cultivators that strong?

But what happened next quickly made Chen Sheng realize just how strong a seventh-level cultivator really was!

In the void, in just a dozen breaths, the Blissful Demon King, with the help of that Heavenly Demon's memories, traversed a vast distance and arrived here in his entirety.

The two figures, sitting back to back, were not tall, but the male and female figures were laughing and each raised a palm forward to strike.

As the palm struck out, their volume rapidly increased, expanding in the blink of an eye to the size of a continental plate inside a fruit, making Chen Sheng's heart pound.

When the membrane of a fourth-grade fruit is intact, it is very difficult for a seventh-level cultivator to break through it.

However, the fruit is now severely damaged and absolutely cannot withstand such an attack.

He could only control the golden lightning to shoot up from the fruit, but it was struck by two palms and shattered into a shattered golden wave.

Then, he watched helplessly as his palm struck the cracked membrane of heaven and earth.

boom!
The fruit trembled violently, the crack widened, and two large holes were punched into the membrane of the fruit.

Inside the fruit, the world trembled and a torrent of demonic energy entered, instantly driving all the dragon vein masters in the world into a frenzy, causing them to unleash their power.

This is not like when Ying Zheng forcibly controlled it with an array. The dragon vein was directly endowed with intelligence by the Blissful Demon King, giving birth to the instinct to want to cause crazy trouble.

The dragon veins in the sky burrowed into the earth, the dragon veins in the sea flew into the sky, and the dragon veins in the earth submerged into the sea.

Their frenzied pursuit and turmoil unleashed a power that posed a sign of complete collapse to the world.

Even though Chen Sheng used the full power of the Yanfu Fruit core to suppress it and mobilized a large amount of the fruit's power, he could only restore some of the dragon veins to their senses. When he started to clean up the other dragon veins, the purified ones were quickly corrupted back into demonic form.

This was a complete and utter defeat that was impossible to stop.

After the destruction thirty years ago, the fruit was like a piece of porcelain that had been broken and barely pieced back together, unable to withstand any further turmoil.

Under the attack of a seventh-level cultivator, the world was immediately destroyed.

"Damn it, the difference in strength is too great, there's no hope."

Chen Sheng was a decisive man; after only one exchange, he realized that the situation was hopeless.

He threw off the Bone-Illuminating Mirror and directly absorbed the five bewildered women in the Dragon King's Palace into his body.

Next, he merged his Yang spirit and physical body into one, taking with him the dragon bodies of the five women and the Yama fruit pit between his eyebrows, and transformed into a Yama insect. He then escaped through the stem of the Yama fruit tree and into the branch connected to it.

Just before leaving, Chen Sheng turned around and glanced back.

Under the relentless attacks of the Elysium Demon King, the orange-red fruit shattered like a rotten persimmon, and from its many wounds, massive amounts of matter were spraying into the void.

As much of the pulp is lost, the fruit completely loses its ability to restrain the pit, allowing it to escape with the pit...
