Chapter 434: The Causal Network is Weak, the Heart Demon Sword Kills the Demon
The changes in the heavenly secrets were naturally noticed by the practitioners in various places who had deep cultivation. Now that the situation of conflict between heaven and man was approaching, the power of the law of cause and effect was weakened. As time went on, it was bound to be suppressed and disappear. It was only because humanity rose up to fight against the heavenly law that the practitioners had a chance to breathe.
No matter they are those who are well-versed in Taoism or those who are new to the path, they all vaguely feel that since they started practicing, the constraints that cannot be explained but do exist have become weaker. Although they do not feel deeply the freedom of their own body, the righteous path of diligently practicing external skills and being rich in morality, they do feel the evil side path of killing and committing heinous crimes more clearly.
In the past, they were always watching me, and heaven and earth were killing me. As soon as I walked out of the cave and no longer hid myself from disasters, I would feel the thunder from the sky, which was intermittent. The murderous intent emanating from heaven and earth was also looming, as if they were paying less attention to me.
The Jinjing Cave in Jiyun Mountain is the Taoist residence of Baihe Zhenren. Although he calls himself Baihe Zhenren, he is actually a demon and an old demon at that. People outside call him Baihe Demon Lord or Old Demon He.
He was a wandering immortal who had committed countless crimes. Wiping out entire families and killing innocent people were just pieces of cake for him. When his demonic power was at its peak, he would easily kidnap the people in a city and use the souls of hundreds of thousands of civilians to refine his magic treasures.
Jinjing Cave is not some kind of magical treasure land. It is filled with evil spirits and blood. Human skulls are dotted inside, and red flesh and blood cover the ground for three feet. A vast demonic energy rises straight into the sky, and there are gusts of cold wind and a strong ghostly aura.
It was all because the White Crane Demon Lord was an evil cultivator who played with living souls and sacrificed bone demons. He preferred blood and turbid air. Practicing in such a bloody and dangerous place was actually much more enjoyable than that in the sacred mountain peak.
It's just that he has done many evil things and is about to face disaster. In previous years, he could still go out to have some fun and relax, but now his sins are so severe that it is difficult for him to step out of the cave. Once he leaves the cave, he will be punished by thunder from the sky and burned by fire from the earth, which will surely ruin his entire cultivation.
The White Crane Demon Lord was never idle, as he drew a circle on the ground to serve as his prison. He recruited many disciples and gathered a group of demon sons and grandsons under his command. Whenever there was a lack of blood and food, or souls, he would send his demon cubs out to get them.
I won't feel sad even if I die. There are too many people who yearn for immortality. Even if one uses some evil methods that cost one's life and shorten one's life and are quick to gain, there will still be many people seeking the Dharma. Most of them are those who are blinded by greed and do not seek immortality, but only want to be happy for a while. I practice the way of the devil and cannot deal with many righteous people, but I can be the king among mortals. Money and beauties come to me at a wave of my hand. How happy I am. I don't know how many injustices I have committed. We are really a nest of snakes and rats, in cahoots with each other.
Evil will be punished by evil, and the White Crane Demon Lord will not let them off easily. It seems that this group of demon cubs are practicing for their own benefit, but in fact, their practice methods are all backup plans, a method of self-cultivation. Unknowingly, they can refine themselves into a soul and enter the black banner of the White Crane Demon Lord, unable to be reborn.
Now that the destiny had changed, the White Crane Demon Lord felt something in his heart. He dismissed the beautiful woman he had captured from his arms, poured himself a bowl of blood wine, and thought secretly in his heart.
"This causal bond has weakened the murderous intent of heaven and earth. Could it be that heaven and earth have changed?"
Then he thought: "I am sitting in the cave, not even fully aware of the situation outside. I only let my demon children go to investigate. They have mortal eyes and low cultivation, so they cannot see the world clearly, and the information they gather is not complete."
"Now there is a change. Is it that someone from the righteous path is plotting against me and luring me out of the world, or is there something else going on?"
After much thought, the White Crane Demon Lord finally made up his mind. He had been staying in the cave for a long time, and although he had demon sons and grandsons offering him food, all he tasted was fine wine from the mortal world, and the women he had seen were all mortal beauties. When did I, the White Crane Demon Lord, end up in such a situation, worthy of only enjoying the blessings of the mortal world?
It would be more satisfying to drink the blood essence of the righteous, seize its foundation, and then find one or two righteous fairies to play with. Anyway, it's just a few thunders. With a divine banner in my hand, it's no problem to withstand a few thunders and fires. It won't hurt my Taoism. If someone plots against me, I will retreat to the cave and not come out. If there is really a change in the world...
Thinking of this, the White Crane Demon Lord could no longer suppress his thoughts, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, black gas rolled, killing half of the hundreds of demon sons and grandsons in the cave. The demon cubs lingering around the cave did not even make a scream, and immediately turned into a pool of dirty blood. Their names were on the list, and their souls entered the black flag in the White Crane Demon Lord's hand. As for the remaining demon cubs, they were not afraid, but ecstatic. They ran to the caves of their dead brothers and sisters, wanting to share the spoils. However, the beautiful maid who was serving on the side and the abducted mortal beauty were trembling with fear, tears shed, but most of them had a wooden look on their faces, without any interest in life.
"Hehe, with these demon souls as sacrifices, my divine banner will become more powerful, and I won't have to worry about this trip!"
The White Crane Demon Lord grinned. As for those dead demon sons and grandsons, he didn't care. He could just go and plunder them later. Most of them were greedy and afraid of death. The most important thing for him now was to find out what changes had taken place in the outside world.
A gust of black wind blew out of the Golden Essence Cave, and the sun shed its light, illuminating the somewhat pale skin of the White Crane Demon Lord. He looked up at the sky, and demonic energy permeated the heaven and earth. The cause and effect he had planted before brought about a calamity, and a group of dark clouds slowly came over, with flashes of lightning and roars inside, as if it had the power to destroy all things.
When the heavenly calamity came, the White Crane Demon Lord was not surprised but happy. In the past, when he wanted to go out, he would have been burned by thunder and fire. But now, he still had to condense the calamity clouds, and judging from its power, it was a bit weaker than the ordinary thunder calamity.
He laughed heartily, blood surged on his body, and he shook the black banner in his hand. The banner glowed with a black light, flew out of his hand, and flew straight towards the calamity cloud. Once unfolded, it suddenly grew larger, and black clouds descended, with black smoke billowing. Thousands of evil ghosts and ferocious gods ran out from the banner, each of them extremely ugly and full of ghostly aura, and rushed towards the calamity cloud.
The thunderbolt fell, this kind of Yangming thunder, is the most powerful thing to defeat evil. A ball of thunder rolled down, and countless evil spirits were annihilated, and the heaven and earth ceased to exist. However, the White Crane Demon Lord had been refining this banner for a long time, and there were more than tens of thousands of living souls and evil spirits hidden in it. As soon as the thunder was extinguished by the evil spirits, more evil spirits poured out from the banner, like a rolling black torrent, rushing up. No matter how the thunder from the sky came, it was helpless and even seemed to be unable to stop it.
After sending out evil ghosts to test the power of the heavenly tribulation, the White Crane Demon Lord suppressed his joy, and the black magic power flew out of his hand like a black snake, and instantly blessed the black banner. With this help, the black banner became more fierce, and the white bone joints on the banner body glowed with blood, and each section lit up. Countless black mist balls spewed out from the banner, and many blood-colored round beads lit up in the mist. Looking again, they were actually pairs of blood-colored eyes.
Roars were heard one after another, and countless white bone demons jumped out from the banners, each of them extremely ferocious. The bones on the white bone demon's body were as white as jade, without any damage or cracks, and there were 1,880 runes engraved on them. It must have been cultivated for a long time. The white bone demon was spewing black smoke, and blood was like a rainbow. The demonic energy was surging, revealing all kinds of evil.
The White Crane Demon Lord is most proud of this item, he got these bones by digging graves and robbing tombs, he took the bones of a group of righteous practitioners, and refined them with the relics of the great Buddhist masters after their death, and then used magic to refine them, investing most of his life fortune, and turned them into twelve white bone demons, which are a combination of good and evil, Taoism and magic, and extremely powerful. It is a famous magic weapon of the demon path.
As soon as the Bone Demon appeared, he ran towards the calamity cloud. The heavenly thunder that annihilated countless evil spirits fell and hit the evil bones of the Bone Demon. The lightning flashed suddenly, but it was difficult to shatter the crystal white bones, and there was not even a trace of a crack.
Good Demon Bone, when the thunder came, he just stepped back half a step, paused for a moment, his eyes were filled with blood, and instead of retreating, he advanced and rushed into the calamity cloud.
The thunder washed over his body with even greater power, but it only left a few black streaks on the Bone Demon, without damaging its origin. Instead, the Bone Demon raised its head and roared, turning into a hundred feet long, and raised its hands and legs to tear the thunder cloud apart. After a while, with the efforts of the twelve Bone Demons, the thunder cloud shattered and slowly dissipated.
The White Crane Demon Lord rubbed his brows and took a deep breath. This White Bone Demon was very powerful to control, but it was extremely mentally taxing. If he hadn't been in a hurry to break through the calamity cloud, he wouldn't have activated this hidden treasure.
The calamity clouds dispersed, and the murderous intent surrounding him weakened a little. The White Crane Demon Lord calculated for a while and grinned. His face, which was as thin as a ghost, was truly terrifying.
"Break this calamity and get a chance to catch your breath. It will take several months or half a year to condense the calamity lightning. There is a lot we can do in the remaining time. There is a lot we can do!"
He laughed loudly, demonic energy was like a pillar, blood was surging, and his laughter startled countless birds and beasts in the mountains. The white crane opened its mouth wide, and all the birds and beasts turned into blood and filled the sky, leaving only a body of dry bones on the spot.
But in his heart, he was thinking about where to go for some fun, thinking about the sweetness of the blood of the righteous cultivators. The White Crane Demon Lord couldn't help licking his lips. Thinking of the authentic fairy falling into the devil's cave, he felt pity for her, and his heart was filled with lust and desire.
"There is a lot to be done? Why do you want to know?"
A voice suddenly came, scaring the White Crane Demon Lord so much that he shuddered. He quickly stretched out his hand to grab the black banner. Twelve white bone demons stood up, and he himself turned into a black wind, flying around, and finally landed on the top of a mountain.
Before the White Crane Demon Lord could calm down, his body stiffened and he turned around slowly, and saw a Taoist standing behind him. He had clearly used the escape technique several times, but he did not expect that this Taoist was following him like a shadow, and his cultivation must be no less than his own.
The White Crane Demon Lord's eyes moved. The Taoist in front of him did not have any pure aura, nor did he show any demonic power. He was wearing a fairy robe, with two blood-black magic swords on his waist. After taking a closer look, he could see some clues. The blood-black swords contained demonic energy and a faint aura of life and death. They were clearly two superb magic treasures.
"Hello, fellow Taoist. I wonder which fellow Taoist from my Demon Sect you are. Why did you come to my Golden Essence Cave without even saying hello?"
The White Crane Demon Lord looked at the magic treasure, which was exquisitely refined. Although there was no demonic power displayed, judging from the method of manufacture, talismans and restrictions, it must be a top-notch treasure. He felt a little greedy in his heart and had the idea of stealing the treasure, but he spoke in a nice tone and tried to find out the details.
Fengdu smiled slightly. He could hear clearly the desire in Baihe's heart without concealing it at all. Seeing that this villain didn't know how to restrain himself and instead coveted his magic weapon, he no longer had the heart to tease him. He still had many people to kill, so he just decided to send him on his way.
The White Crane Demon Lord wanted to establish a relationship with someone so that he could take action in the future to seize the treasure, but then he saw the person in front of him smile slightly, and that figure captivated him and he became dazed.
He saw that a demon shadow suddenly appeared in his own soul. All the soul's defensive means were like paper. The demon shadow went straight in, shattering countless magical powers, smiled at him, and his body suddenly grew larger, boundless and boundless demonic energy surged towards him.
At this moment, the White Crane Demon Lord seemed to have seen the Supreme Demon King, the indestructible master of the demon world who had experienced all sorts of calamities. The sword flashed, and his consciousness went dark.
Fengdu turned around, and the body of the White Crane Demon Lord behind him turned into dust, his Taoist robe and magic weapons rolled to the ground. He gathered the spiritual objects into his sleeves and swung out with a sword.
The sword light flew straight into the Golden Essence Cave and exploded violently, completely wiping out the demon's sons and grandsons, leaving no trace of their bodies, and clearing out countless bones and flesh in the cave. Then it stood up and turned into a rainbow and left.
