My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 278 The Demon God Descends, Heartless and Treacherous
"Who would have thought that we demons, who take pleasure in manipulating people's hearts, would be outsmarted by a human this time?"

The demons gathered on the battlefield fell silent as they watched Li Wei, transformed into a Kunpeng, charge into the enemy ranks and be protected by the Heavenly Court cultivators.

"This person can imitate the cultivation aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and even deceive the senses of so many of us demons. He must possess one of the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heaven or the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earth."

"There should be special entries for concealing one's presence, and perhaps they even possess some powerful vulnerability."

"And did you all feel it? When he devoured those inner demons just now, it seemed like he also used a Law Domain! No wonder he was able to replace the Bull Demon King silently; it turns out he had already built his own unique Law System."

"If I remember correctly, he just finished his immortal exam not long ago, right?"

"In that case, we absolutely cannot let him go back alive!"

This person will not die!

They must be a formidable enemy of the Blissful Demon Realm!

Thinking of this, the demons exchanged glances and simultaneously activated the emergency response program of the Heart Tribulation System, sending a distress signal to the Heart Demon Headquarters high in the heavens.

"May the Heavenly Demon descend to the mortal realm, eradicate righteousness and restore order to the demonic order!"

in an instant,
The heavens and earth changed color as a deep, eerie, and dark shadow fell from the depths of the universe, crashing violently into the blue sky. It stained the heavens with ink, turning into thick dark clouds that swallowed all the light within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

When those scarlet eyes curved upwards in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and compassionate voice rang in everyone's ears:

【allow!!】

Fatai City is far from Li Wei, but very close to the Demon God.

That terrifying demonic body, spanning tens of thousands of miles, almost covered the entire battle zone between Zhongzhou and the Blissful Demon Land. The cultivators of Fatai City only needed to look up to see the strange phenomenon of the demon god descending from the sky.

Ordinary people are already under the feet of demons.

In the past, the Heavenly Court's tribulation system would have activated at this point, concentrating lightning to prevent the demon god from crossing realms.

However, the lightning tribulation system has now been destroyed by Mara himself and replaced with the heart tribulation system. Therefore, when that unknown demon god descended to the mortal realm, he not only did not encounter any obstacles, but his descent was accelerated by the heart tribulation system.

This time,
He has come to test the hearts of all beings!
Then, from within those dark, demonic clouds, a jet-black star suddenly rose, like a black sun, showering the world with its darkest thoughts.

[Demon God's Deadly Move - Heartless and Treacherous!!]

The moment they were illuminated by the light, the hearts of countless beings in Fatai City and the Blissful Demon Land instantly transformed into wolf hearts.

But this does not mean turning all living beings into wolves.

Instead, it is to let all living beings use the hearts of wild beasts to forcefully awaken all the bestiality within them and experience the ignorant instincts hidden deep in their blood.

Immediately following the wolf's heart, a dog's lung grew out.

Dogs are domesticated wolves, and after domestication, they were endowed with countless beautiful words such as loyalty, friendliness, and kindness, making them a supreme masterpiece of "human morality"!

Breathing with dog lungs allows one to experience the beauty of moral education, reminding one of all the education and teachings one has received, and to appreciate the greatness of moral ideals!
A wolf's heart awakens the blood, a dog's lungs awakens the mind!
The id, driven by the animalistic instinct to seek pleasure, awakens simultaneously with the superego, which seeks ideal morality. This contradiction between instinctual desires and moral pursuits instantly tears a person in two, subjecting each individual to endless inner torment.

How was your day?
Have your desires been satisfied?

Have you achieved your goals?

What are you standing here for? What have you gained, achieved, and received? Are you happy inside? Will your future be fulfilling?
The human heart is a burning house, but people have long been numb to it.

When the demonic light shone, they once again remembered their pain, tormenting themselves with their own hearts and tormenting themselves with their own will.

Under the influence of endless suffering, the black demon star in the sky shone even brighter. It tasted the pain and torment of all living beings, and spoke with profound compassion:

All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows! Why should you, my esteemed friends, cling to your inherent nature or morality? Know that by letting go of attachment, there is no suffering!

But how many people can actually let go of it?
The more compassionately the demon preached the Dharma, the more they felt their own suffering. Under the cruel torment, some people broke down and couldn't help but pick up a knife to commit suicide, hoping to enjoy eternal peace in death.

The demon god's expression changed drastically, and he roared like a lion's thunderous roar: "Foolish! It was merely to enlighten you and reveal your true nature, yet you've already tormented yourselves to the point of exhaustion!"

Life is so precious! Yet you treat it so carelessly!

Whether it's being a beast or a human, whether it's pursuing the ultimate desire or the highest morality, how can one comprehend it in a moment? How could you commit suicide?

Survive! Experience the struggle and pain, or vent your desires, or realize your ideals! This is the right path!

The demonic roar of a lion poured into his brain.

People immediately put down the knife that slaughtered them, but picked up the knife that slaughtered others.

Just as the demon taught them, they began to go to extremes in pain and torment, either to vent their desires or to realize their ultimate ideals, which led to the collapse of order.

Will there be happiness after collapse?
The human heart is an unfillable chasm; after indulgence, only emptiness remains. Whether it's the release of desires or the realization of ideals, it's all temporary. After possessing something, one only wants more, and thus the void appears in the heart. The more people crave indulgence, the larger and more insatiable that void becomes.

As a result, all living beings became more miserable and more desperate than before.

The demon god clasped his hands together, watching this scene with satisfaction, his heart filled with compassion: "Thinking causes pain, but it can also enlighten wisdom. Enjoy this offering, and then await the moment when the fire within your hearts ignites your enlightenment."

This is the mercy of my Lord Mara!

After the demon god appeared, he did many things, but in reality, he completed this act of charity in an instant, deeply embedding his laws into this world through the act of bestowing suffering.
When people run around with hearts of wolves and dogs, chasing after desires and ideals, running through pain and emptiness...
What was ultimately achieved was this earth-shattering authority!

At this moment, the world has been ignited by suffering, and all kinds of emotions surged up like a tsunami, gathering between heaven and earth and forming a lotus platform.

The demon god sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, and with a casual wave of his hand, he controlled the entire world!

He bowed his head!
Head bowed

He looked at Li Wei.

Surrounding him was an army of tens of thousands of cultivators, all elite cultivators from Fatai City. Moreover, each of them was equipped with a large number of weapons against inner demons before entering the Blissful Demon Land, giving them high resistance to inner demons.

Upon sensing the arrival of the demon god, they immediately activated their demon-slaying armor and set up the Heavenly Court's unique "Demon-Exterminating and Safeguarding Array," maximizing their defense against inner demons.

But even so,
The army was still directly crushed by the demon god's gaze.

Thousands of people went insane in an instant, turning into cowards who stood there in agony and wept. Many others, though still able to maintain their sanity, began to suffer from the contradictions between their own animalistic nature and their ideals, and their fighting strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

【Why】

Seated cross-legged high in the sky, the face of the demon god, whose features were obscured, suddenly sighed: "Though you are but an ant, you are still a life. If you are willing to submit to my master today, I will not kill you!"

Li Wei stared directly at the demon god in the sky, and two lines of bloody tears unknowingly streamed down his face.

He had already exhausted all his strength just by looking directly at the gods.

But no matter how hard he tried to control himself, a chill still welled up inside him, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

are you afraid?

Of course I’m scared!
But Li Wei forced a smile and said to the demon in the sky, "What if I say no?"

[I, the Demon, am merciful. Even if you refuse, I will not kill you. However, I will take your cultivation and mind, and send you to Turbid Mountain for enlightenment, so that you may see the error of your ways and return to the right path.]

"Hahaha! What talk of salvation and compassion? It's all about who has the bigger fist. As a celestial official and special envoy of the Heavenly Emperor, I will never collude with you demon gods!"

After saying that, Li Wei activated all his immortal techniques and launched a blast at the demon god!

Crack! !
The lightning struck the demon god's face, dispelling some of the mist and revealing a sliver of snow-white skin.

The surrounding monks, caught in the chaos, were stunned.

The inner demons watching the show were also stunned.

Even some of the creatures watching from above were stunned.

How dare a mere mortal draw his sword against a god?

Should we say you're courageous, or are you foolish?

Upon seeing this, Venus covered his face and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Have our people not descended to the mortal realm yet?"

Everyone fears that Mara may have other schemes up his sleeve, so...

【Why! 】

Venus couldn't wait any longer, so he took a whisk and, along with his two attendants, went to the Department of Transportation to personally apply to descend to the mortal realm to fight the demons.

The Director of the Transportation Department said in disbelief, "Lord Bingzhu, are you sure you want to go? If Mara uses the same trick again and is currently hiding inside this demon god's body, then it would be far too dangerous for you to go down."

Venus silently said, "Don't waste my time any longer!"

【Yes! 】

The Ministry of Education dared not delay and quickly set up a passage to the mortal realm, instantly sending the Lord of War down to the city of Fatai.

At the same time,
The demon god, who was confronting Li Wei, seemed to have a look of disbelief on his face at this moment, and he subconsciously touched his cheek.

“Interesting! Since I embarked on the path of inner demons, you are the first mortal who has dared to be presumptuous in front of me. No wonder you have received a bounty from the Dark Web Great Sage.”

"Since that's the case, then this Heavenly Demon will suffer a loss. Today, I'll break my vow and take your life!"
