Above the Great Dao

Chapter 498: Ruler of the Demon Domain


The Black Pot looked at Chen Shi in confusion, "Woof?"

Chen Shi took out the geographical map drawn by Zhong Wuwang and said, "It's very dangerous over there, with many demon-transformed creatures, including some of your kin. So I'm thinking of taking our mother with me..."

The Black Pot's eyes lit up, "Woof!"

Chen Shi shook his head, "Zhong Erniu said it's extremely perilous."

The Black Pot placed its front paw on his shoulder, bent another front limb, muscles bulging, and laughed, "Woof, woof!"

Chen Shi tentatively asked, "How has your cultivation progress been recently?"

The Black Pot laughed heartily, raised its paw to grasp, the Circulation Fire Realm erupted, and the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler whistled its way over, caught by it. The Black Pot twirled the rod, causing the earth to tremble, lightning crackling around, an intimidating sight.

Chen Shi was persuaded by the Black Pot and had no choice but to agree to go to the Demon Domain in the underworld together with it.

Before long, the man and the dog arrived in the underworld, the Black Pot revealed its True Body, stepping on Demon Fire, galloping through the Ten Thousand Great Mountains with Chen Shi standing on its forehead, directing it according to the geographical map drawn by Zhong Wuwang.

Now, although the Black Pot hadn't reached adulthood, it had grown two to three times larger than before, stretching seven miles from head to tail, nearly three miles tall, and its running speed was incredibly fast. In just two days, they reached the outskirts of the marked Demon Domain.

Chen Shi looked around, feeling a chill in his heart.

The demon qi here was indeed very dense, causing the creatures to exhibit demonized states, and the demon flowers which were rarely seen elsewhere bloomed everywhere.

These flowers bloomed faintly, their stamens grew into beautiful young girls, bent at the waist stuck in wall holes, crying out for help.

However, the demonized entity itself was hiding behind the wall, with a gaping mouth waiting for someone to take the bait.

There were also some quite peculiar demon trees, growing many branches harder than iron, with shapes like swords and knives.

The towering trees often reached nearly a hundred feet high, frequently seen waging war against one another, their sword-like branches hacking at each other.

They hadn't walked far before encountering two sets of demon trees at war, like opposing armies, soldier against soldier, general against general, limbs flying in all directions, broken swords and knives littering the ground.

The Black Pot stopped to observe, with Chen Shi standing on its head, watching as one demon tree had its roots severed, losing its balance and collapsing to the ground, speared by a thousand swords and knives from two demon trees, green liquid oozing from its body as it perished.

"Black Pot, shrink your body size, we can't be too conspicuous after entering the Demon Domain," Chen Shi advised upon witnessing the scene.

The Black Pot laughed heartily, its laughter echoing like thunder, conveying its thoughts to Chen Shi's mind, making him feel like he heard it speak, "Although the Demon Clan respects strength, I feel like there might be someone stronger than you here..."

The Black Pot took bold steps, walking with a dragon's tread and a tiger's step, freely exuding its aura, clearly indifferent to the advice.

The deep demon qi here made it feel right at home, feeling its cultivation strength continuously rising just by breathing.

Seeing this, Chen Shi had no choice but to go along with it.

"The demon qi here is dense, just as Zhong Erniu said, the Heavenly Venerate was severely injured by Wu Qi, and before dying, escaped here where the Primordial Spirit fragmented and disintegrated."

He gazed around, thinking, "His fragmented Primordial Spirit formed this Demon Domain. However, there's something very peculiar..."

His face showed increasing confusion, "Why do demon qi and evil qi coexist here?"

He sensed both demon qi and evil qi present in this Demon Domain, with evil qi accounting for thirty percent and demon qi for seventy percent.

He himself was a Grandmaster of the Demon Path, otherwise, he wouldn't have conceived the method to demonize the True God, with high attainments in the Demon Path. The Heavenly Venerate's fragmented Primordial Spirit forming demon qi and evil qi in a three-seven ratio puzzled him greatly: "This implies either the Heavenly Venerate practiced both demonic and evil paths or the Heavenly Venerate was cultivating the Demon Path, and the source of the evil qi wasn't from him."

The first guess was tolerable, but the second would mean the Heavenly Venerate was unrelated to the bizarre phenomena involving devouring the Sun and Moon's flesh and blood and the changes in heaven and earth!

"If it's the second, then many of my past conjectures about the Heavenly Venerate will have to be overturned!"

He suppressed his perplexity, observing his surroundings, thinking, "I haven't observed closely enough yet. After determining the danger here, I'll let Li Tianqing come. With his observational skills, he will certainly make an accurate judgment!"

The Black Pot carried him deeper into the Demon Domain, the scope of its influence vast, diverse demons entering his field of vision.

These demons often transformed from the flora and fauna of the Great Shang Era and mutant beasts, as well as some demonized humans, becoming twisted and powerful, quietly trailing them.

What secretly alarmed Chen Shi was how enormous the Demon Domain was, indicating the Heavenly Venerate's past life cultivation was extraordinary!

"I wonder if in this lifetime, the Heavenly Venerate has achieved what he did in his previous life? He's been cultivating for over ten thousand years now..."

Just then, deep roars echoed around, causing the Black Pot to pause, warily observing the surroundings.

In the darkness, massive shapes approached them from all directions, not just from one place!

As they gradually discerned the forms, they saw these demons resembling giant apes, except they had large flowers and foliage growing on their backs.

They were much taller than the Black Pot, immensely imposing, exuding formidable demon qi.

They gazed at the Black Pot with hostile expressions.

The Black Pot's expression turned serious, it stood upright, let out a roar, and a flame erupted from within, forming the Circulation Fire Realm, which circulated around its right arm. As the Circulation Fire Realm flowed to its sharp claws, the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler appeared.

Chen Shi witnessed this and silently praised in his heart, thinking, "The Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler, the Black Pot uses it even more skillfully than me. But then again, I have wielded its Immortal Artifact, the Taiyi Demon Extinguishing Shuttle, more times than it has."
