Chapter 52 The Soul-Eating Lamp, The Murder and Prison Break
"My name is Lei Kui, the current Beast King of the ferocious beast clan. Greetings to fellow Daoists Mo Yuan and Jin Chanzi!"
Lei Kui looked at the two of them and spoke softly and kindly.
Mo Yuan and Jin Chanzi came for the Nine Netherworld and the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation. Although their cultivation levels were not impressive, Lei Kui developed an inexplicable trust in them.
Seeing the arrogant Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, he was filled with passion and took the initiative to show himself.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lei Kui!"
"What are the origins of this Youdu Mountain and the Reincarnation Chaos Demon God? As one of the former three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the Reincarnation Chaos Demon God doesn't seem right to me. He lacks a fundamental essence and is unfamiliar with the laws of reincarnation. Where is his majestic and domineering aura?"
Mo Yuan returned Lei Kui's greeting and voiced his doubts.
Before the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation makes his move, he needs to learn as much as possible about this powerful being. Only in this way can he use the corresponding methods to send him to the point of no return.
"Fellow Daoist Lei Kui, hurry up and tell us! This humble Daoist is eagerly awaiting to hear Senior Reincarnation's joke!"
Jin Chanzi stared intently at Lei Kui, looking on with curiosity.
Lei Kui did not speak immediately. He turned to look at the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, a meaningful smile on his lips.
Are you here to attack me?
The Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation felt a jolt in his heart, and his killing intent intensified.
Those painful and dark past experiences were something he had always been unwilling to mention, but now Lei Kui was going to expose his scars in public, and this sense of shame made him furious.
"Senior Samsara, why be so stingy? We all want to know about your magnificent deeds, so let Fellow Daoist Lei Kui tell you in detail!"
"Otherwise, the three of us will have no choice but to flee from the Nine Netherworld and spread your existence throughout the Primordial World. At that time, those who come to deal with you will probably be powerful beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal or Quasi-Saint level."
"After all, if Senior Reincarnation were to wipe us all out in this Netherworld, you could continue to lie low here and still possess treasures like the Qilin Seal. Wouldn't that be better?"
Mo Yuan spoke eloquently, beginning to soothe the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, while simultaneously analyzing the pros and cons for him.
With the help of the six-winged golden cicada's molted body and the assistance of the Golden Cicada, he will surely be able to escape the Nine Netherworld. As for the Golden Cicada and Lei Kui, their speed will only be faster.
The Chaos Gods of Reincarnation cannot hold them back!
"So, you really are very thoughtful!"
The Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation stared intently at Mo Yuan. For a moment, he couldn't find a reason to refute him and could only let Mo Yuan be so arrogant and domineering, letting this junior jump around in front of him.
Mo Yuan is even more shameless than that Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
This kind of open scheme is unbreakable.
And what Mo Yuan said was also true. As long as he killed them, he could accumulate strength again and seek an opportunity to attain enlightenment.
But in the heart of the Chaos God of Reincarnation, he preferred to subdue Mo Yuan and make him a sharp blade in his hand to stab the heart of Hongjun Daozu.
"During the Great Calamity of Creation, the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation was annihilated by the Great God Pangu. Only one of his eyes escaped into the newly born primordial world, transforming into Youdu Mountain at the bottom of the North Sea, which evolved into the Ruins Demon Valley connecting the Nine Netherworlds and the North Sea."
"But the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation suffered too many injuries. By the time he recovered his will, condensed his primordial spirit and true spirit, and reshaped his body, it was already the late stage of the Dragon-Han Tribulation. At that time, Youdu Mountain had already been occupied by the demon race."
"After learning that the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation was still alive, Demon Ancestor Rahu personally came to the Nine Netherworld to suppress the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, opened the Soul-Eating Lamp, and trapped him to death in the Nine Netherworld with the waters of the Styx River."
"That Soul-Eating Lamp is also known as the Well of Reincarnation. Any demon who retains even a trace of their soul can be reborn with the power of the Chaos God of Reincarnation..."
Lei Kui lowered his eyelids, parted his lips slightly, and spoke calmly.
The fate of the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation was quite tragic. He finally had a chance to be reborn into the world, but the Demon Ancestor Rahu ruined his plans, and he became a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
During the initial calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties and the war between the Dao and the Demon, the remnants of the ferocious beasts of Youdu Mountain were under the command of the Demon Sect, which is why Lei Kui knew so much about this matter.
"Demon Ancestor Rahu... I am determined to kill you!"
The Chaos God of Reincarnation roared madly, his voice hoarse and filled with shame.
Clearly, what Lei Kui said was true, reminding him of the fear of being dominated and exploited by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
"Fellow Daoist Lei Kui, could this so-called news have been reported to Demon Ancestor Rahu by the ancestors of the ferocious beast clan?"
Mo Yuan revealed a strange expression and asked Lei Kui for confirmation.
Since the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, the remnants of the ferocious beast clan of Youdu Mountain have never appeared in the prehistoric world again. Even in the war between the Dao and the Demon, not a single ferocious beast was involved.
That might lead us to infer that the mission of the ferocious beasts of Youdu Mountain was to guard the Nine Netherworlds and prevent the Chaos God of Reincarnation from escaping.
But why would Demon Ancestor Rahu entrust such an important task to the ferocious beast clan? Isn't this Demon Lord afraid that the ferocious beast clan will turn against him?
Upon hearing Mo Yuan's question, Lei Kui turned to look at him in surprise.
How did they uncover the truth from just a few clues?
Mo Yuan's insight and wisdom far exceeded his expectations. This Mo Qilin of the Qilin Clan was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
"I have attained enlightenment."
"Senior Samsara was betrayed by the ferocious beast clan, which is why he has fallen to such a state!"
"After the war between the Dao and the Demon ended, he tried to control the ferocious beast race, but he was stopped by the successive Beast Emperors and Beast Kings at the cost of their lives. That's why there are less than ten orthodox ferocious beasts like Lei Kui and Ao Heng left."
Jin Chanzi was no fool, and he quickly added.
The Soul-Eating Lamp, spanning tens of thousands of feet in diameter, constantly devours the primordial spirit and origin of the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, which is why its vitality is so weak.
The remains of the ferocious beasts near the Soul-Eating Lamp were either the ancestors of the ferocious beast clan who perished together with the Chaos God of Reincarnation, or they were controlled by the Chaos God of Reincarnation and voluntarily transformed into part of his body.
As for those demon corpses, they were probably some of the remnant souls of demons who returned to Youdu Mountain after the war between the Dao and the Demons, were reincarnated in the Soul-Eating Lamp, and were then killed by the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation.
The many secrets and the ins and outs of the tragic fate of the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation were now fully revealed to Mo Yuan and Jin Chanzi.
"That's exactly right."
"Mount Youdu is the last refuge of the ferocious beast clan. How can anyone else be allowed to lie low here? Even if this person is a Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, he cannot gain the loyalty of the ferocious beast clan. All he will get is death."
"Who could have predicted that Demon Ancestor Rahu was no pushover? He didn't kill the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation, but instead used him as a pawn to allow the demon race to reincarnate and resurrect... My ferocious beast race also contributed a great deal to the opening of that Soul-Eating Lamp."
Lei Kui's words confirmed Mo Yuan's guess.
The moment he finished speaking, the Killing Prison in his hand flew towards the Soul-Eating Lamp, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into something thousands of feet long, then burst into dark ochre flames.
What is the Soul-Eating Lamp?
The waters of the Styx River, tens of thousands of feet deep, served as lamp oil, while the Killing Prison served as the wick. The dark ochre-colored beast fire was the flame itself, capable of instantly enhancing the power to burn the primordial spirit and true soul, causing the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation unbearable pain.
"Stop right there! Take away the murderer and the prison breaker!"
The Chaos God of Reincarnation roared in terror.
After merging with the ominous tribulation rules, killing aura, and beast fire of the Killing Prison, the corrosive power released by the Styx River was all-pervasive, and his primordial spirit was being twisted and torn apart.
Furthermore, the power of the God-Slaying Spear carried by the Prison Killer was also attacking his primordial spirit. He felt his Great Luo Three Flowers begin to dissipate and dim, and the five elements in his chest gradually collapsed.
The God-Slaying Spear is a fierce and rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao, possessing the power to kill even saints. Even if the Prison Slayer only carries less than one-tenth of the power of the God-Slaying Spear, he still cannot withstand it!
The Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation was extremely annoyed and also felt the threat of death. Before this, he did not know that the Prison Killing Rift had such great power and could also activate the Soul Erosion Lamp.
Even though Demon Ancestor Rahu was defeated in the war between the Dao and the Demon, and even though he had transformed into an extraterrestrial demon, he still did not let him go. Instead, he used this method to put him in danger of death.
Of course, he wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.
After the war between the Dao and the Demon ended, he began plotting to break the deadlock.
Faced with life and death, he could no longer afford to lie low or bide his time; he had to survive!
"Those who can survive safely for several eons in the primordial world are no ordinary people! I originally thought that Lei Kui, the Beast King, who was at the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, had no way to restrain the Reincarnation Chaos Demon God, but he gave me a huge surprise."
"The Soul-Eating Lamp and the Prison-Slaying Demon God will surely perish in this way."
Mo Yuan seemed to be deep in thought, calculating in his heart.
Just as the three of them exchanged knowing glances, ready to each display their unique abilities and surround and kill the Chaos God of Reincarnation as if he were a wild monster, a sudden change occurred.
The Nine Netherworlds began to tremble, and the waters of the River Styx surged.
Nearly a thousand ferocious beasts, their eyes bloodshot, had somehow entered the Netherworld and were charging madly toward Mo Yuan, Jin Chanzi, and Lei Kui.
Two of the peak Golden Immortal beasts targeted Mo Yuan and Jin Chanzi, while the other beasts charged into the Soul-Eating Lamp, colliding wildly with the Killing Prison.
The raging evil energy of heaven and earth surged and raged. The Killing Prison seemed to be polluted under the blood of the ferocious beasts, and the originally blazing beast fire was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, demonic energy surged and raged, and demonic laws manifested in the Nine Netherworlds. Then, a demonic lotus suddenly appeared, imprisoning the Chaos God of Reincarnation in its center.
But that demonic lotus looked somewhat illusory.
"I should have known you wouldn't surrender so easily!"
"The demonic restrictions that Demon Ancestor Rahu once laid down, as well as the shackles formed from the Netherworld energy, should have been dispelled by Senior Samsara long ago, right?"
"Those new generation of ferocious beasts were also part of your long-planned scheme! Using the blood of ferocious beasts to taint the beast fire that killed and broke into prison, and to obliterate the fortune of the ferocious beast clan, this move was indeed particularly ruthless and vicious."
Lei Kui narrowed his eyes and said wistfully.
The Chaos God of Reincarnation was even more deeply hidden than he was.
This reversal was truly unexpected for him.
Lei Kui channeled his magic power, and the pale lightning and fire transformed into streams of light that landed on the two ferocious beasts at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. In an instant, they turned into ashes.
They were not the legitimate members of the ferocious beast clan, and Lei Kui would not feel any guilt in eliminating them.
"Fellow Daoist Lei Kui, how long until the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation is freed?"
"If you trust me, then hand over the control of the Killing Prison to me. After that, you and Fellow Daoist Jin Chanzi should leave the Nine Netherworlds. I will use all my trump cards to fight the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation to the death!"
"If I fail, you should go to Kunlun Mountain and report this to the disciples of the three religions. They will surely come to Youdu Mountain to avenge me."
Mo Yuan did not lose his composure. He looked at Lei Kui and said seriously.
Before coming to Youdu Mountain, he was prepared to face the calamity of death. He knew how difficult it would be to cleanse the lingering thoughts of the Chaos God of Reincarnation and to make Youdu Mountain a blessed land.
Now, the Reincarnation Chaos Demon God possesses a primordial spirit and a physical body, and is about to break free from the suppression of Demon Ancestor Rahu. At that time, he will reveal combat power at least at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Even if Lei Kui and Jin Chanzi stayed here, they couldn't help him!
"Fellow Daoist Lei Kui, let's follow Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan's arrangement!"
"Let's lead the beast kings, including Aohun, away from the Youdu Mountain territory, so that Fellow Daoist Moyuan and the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation can fight a bloody battle without restraint."
"The fact that Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan was recognized by the will of Pangu shows that he has enough confidence to face the Chaos God of Reincarnation. We cannot become a burden to him."
Jin Chanzi acted decisively and helped Mo Yuan persuade Lei Kui.
Immediately, he threw a drop of his essence blood at Mo Yuan, telling him that through this drop of essence blood, he could activate the power of the six-winged golden cicada's molting and use the Golden Cicada Stealing the Sky Technique to traverse space.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, I believe in you! The Killing Prison and the Soul-Eating Lamp can still trap the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation for three days. You must be careful. If you really cannot become his opponent, then escape first."
"The method to activate the Killing Prison is all contained within this lightning bolt, but I need you to use the Primordial Mirror to cleanse the lingering resentment of the Chaos Demon God of Reincarnation from me and those beast kings."
"Otherwise, if we fall under their control, you'll be attacked from both sides!"
Lei Kui pointed a finger, and lightning flashed, landing on Mo Yuan's brow.
Mo Yuan did not hesitate at all. He activated the Primordial Mirror, drawing upon the runes of the laws of motion and the will of Pangu. Soon, they evolved into a phantom of the Primordial Mirror, which could be temporarily controlled by Lei Kui.
Lei Kui bowed solemnly to the phantom to show his reverence for Pangu's will, then held the phantom in his hands and left the Nine Netherworld with Jin Chanzi.
For a moment, the atmosphere became heavy, and time seemed to stand still.
Mo Yuan, with his peak True Immortal cultivation, was to directly confront the Reincarnation Chaos Demon God, who exuded the aura of an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
