Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004

Three demons stand high above the collective unconscious sea of all beings, overlooking the endless ages, undying and immortal.

Since the birth of living beings, they have sprouted and endured till now.

Throughout history, true demons have only ever been these three.

Many cultivators have attempted to study the Heavenly Demons, seeking a method to become demons.

But like becoming a god, it remains elusive, never achieved by anyone.

Even Luo Hou, who is known as the Demon Dao Ancestor, acts with reckless abandon, capricious and bloodthirsty.

Yet he is still not a true demon.

Only those who can eternally stand upon the spiritual ocean may be called a demon.

Now, a fourth true demon has been born.

The three demons of Greed, Anger, and Ignorance gazed at the demon embryo being nurtured, their expressions changed dramatically.

"How is it possible? When did he become a demon?" the woman exclaimed.

Suddenly, she awoke with a start, in the illusion, Lu Chenzhou had been with her day and night, without resistance.

It wasn’t she who subdued Lu Chenzhou.

It was Lu Chenzhou serving the demon, studying her, researching the heart demon, and finding a way to become a demon.

She was a bit unsure, confused about Lu Chenzhou’s motives.

"Friend Lu, are you unable to defeat us and want to join us?" the beautiful woman asked with a smile.

"No, if he becomes a true demon, wouldn’t he squeeze us out of our positions?" The lean old man frowned.

"The structure of the three demons is already formed, does he want to become the fourth true demon?" the muscular man said harshly.

The reactions of the three demons were each unique, Blue Mountain and Red Leaf, along with many ancient Buddhas, looked even more shocked.

"I have only heard the Heart Emperor hypothesize that if one cannot become a god, perhaps one could study the Heart Demon Dao to achieve true demonhood, forging a new path.

Throughout history, many have researched top cultivation methods like the "Great Freedom Heaven Magic" and the "Dao Heart Seed Magic," yet none have comprehended the Heart Demon Dao... We were all wrong, to research the Heart Demon Dao, one cannot imagine it from thin air but must live with the heinous heart demon day and night, one slight misstep means death and path destruction, only a friend like Fellow Daoist Lu with high skill and daring would attempt it." Blue Mountain sighed.

It’s not that people don’t know the research methods, they’re just afraid to try.

Ordinary heavenly demons are manageable, but true demons are avoided even by great powers, it is an unsolvable problem.

But Lu Chenzhou is different; his will is exceptionally strong, he possesses an immortal body, and masters the World Dao, which is the key.

Missing any of these factors, success is impossible.

Otherwise, the moment the Greedy Demon invades the mind, death is announced, sinking into the Heart Demon World, never to awaken again.

"Amazing... but becoming a demon, will it affect his mind? Is Fellow Daoist Lu still himself?" Red Leaf hesitated.

"The fourth true demon, the structure of the spiritual dimension has changed... I hope the new true demon is a friend, not a foe." the True Buddhas murmured.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the Martial Arts Tree; after the birth of the Heart Demon Dao, his advancement accelerated, finally pausing temporarily at the eighth rank.

His consciousness descended within the demon embryo, discovering countless pathways leading to the Three Thousand Worlds and all living beings.

He had a feeling that when his demonic body breaks out of the embryo, a single thought could spawn countless heart demon embodiments.

These heart demons are ancestors to him, part of his body, like cells, capable of regenerating endlessly.

Unlike Greed, Anger, and Ignorance, his demonic foundation is the Chaos World Dao.

What he has achieved is not only the heart demons of living beings but also the demons of the Three Thousand Worlds and the Great Universe.

"The current demon embryo is just beginning to be nurtured, at least it needs to reach the ninth rank to truly be born."

As the demon embryo matures, Lu Chenzhou formulated ideas on how to subdue the three demons and achieve true sainthood.

To subdue demons, one must first become a demon, which he has already completed.

Then it’s to nurture and strengthen the demon, using demon against demon, becoming the world’s ultimate Supreme True Demon.

Its counterpart is the Supreme True Saint.

Demon and Saint, are but a thought apart, just as the Supreme Principle of Heart Cultivation, are two in one, coexisting and complementing each other.

"However, since this demon embryo is an evil thing, I must ensure my will far surpasses the demon embryo’s realm; otherwise, it may backfire."

Lu Chenzhou only uses the demon to achieve the Dao, not intending to become a calamity-bringing great demon.

"With the Heart Demon Dao achieved, the Non-Emptiness is not far off, all I need is to further comprehend Silent Annihilation and Nirvana to attempt to subdue the three demons."

The three demons are strong, all at the True God level, and even more troublesome than True Gods.

For True Gods can be slain, while the three demons are the true meaning of undying, immortal unless the entire Great Universe’s beings are exterminated.

Lu Chenzhou never thought of killing the three demons; he intends to use the demon embryo to subdue them, making them his.

With a thought, True Demon Power swirled in his palm, causing the heavenly demons attacking him to stop one by one in confusion.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the beautiful woman and smiled, "You’re not my opponent anymore, even if your true self descends, I have no fear, now leave."

The beautiful woman seeing this, didn’t rashly act again, paused silently, then laughed, "Then I congratulate the birth of the Fourth True Demon King!"

After speaking, she transformed into endless black smoke, disappearing in the Buddha Country.

"Human, I do not acknowledge you!" the Anger Demon shouted, leaving angrily.

For he is a true demon born innately, how could this later-born demon embryo compare?

The lean old man’s empty eyes glanced at Lu Chenzhou, leaving silently.

They are only embodiments of true demons, completely no match for Lu Chenzhou.

As for the true bodies? The three demons, similar to the Ancient Emperor, exist in absolute spiritual states, their true forms unable to leave the spiritual dimension.

To descend to the Lower Realm, they must find a vessel, with the strongest power maintained at the top-level demigod tier.

The strengths of the three demons also vary, Greed is the strongest, Anger follows, and Ignorance is the weakest.

"Friend Lu, are you alright?" On the Wangchuan River, Blue Mountain’s form was as thin as paper, finally asking.

"It’s alright, go ahead without worry," Lu Chenzhou said with a smile.

"Alright, but I still want to mention, becoming a demon is quite dangerous, Lu Daoist Friend needs to be careful."

The figure of Blue Mountain vanished into the waves.

"Lu Daoist Friend, until we meet again."

Red Leaf, at this moment, even felt a bit of admiration for Lu Chenzhou.

Before this, she only admired the Heart Emperor.

After a fierce battle, only seventy-two Ancient Buddhas remained.

They waved goodbye to Lu Chenzhou with smiles and left.

Lu Chenzhou murmured, "See you in the next life, everyone."

After the Demon Embryo was born, Lu Chenzhou studied the Heart Demon Dao day and night, and he could sense the prying eyes of the three demons: Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.

In the Spiritual Dimension.

"I’m going to kill that Demon Embryo."

The burly man looked into the distance, preparing to take action.

The thin old man said:

"Don’t waste your energy. The Demon Embryo is just a sliver of Lu Chenzhou’s demonic thought. The foundation of the Demon Embryo lies with his true self; if you kill the Demon Embryo, it will revive. The Demon Embryo and we differ in power levels, but in essence, all are True Demon status... Isn’t that how we were nurtured as well?"

The beautiful woman nodded:

"To kill the Demon Embryo, you must deal with the source—Lu Chenzhou’s true self. Unless we descend in person, there’s no hope. Lu Chenzhou dares to let me infiltrate his mind, can even research my secrets, and can wake at any time, unrestrained by me, showing his extraordinary willpower. He is likely not far from the legendary Holy Heart. Not to mention, he possesses an Immortal Body. I estimate that those from the Stars are already driven insane; they’re in an endless conflict with Lu Chenzhou."

"What should we do then? This Lu Chenzhou clearly isn’t a mere good person; once he grows, we are in danger."

"We also exist due to the Great Universe; we are part of the cosmos’s order. Lu Chenzhou cannot kill us unless he destroys the entire universe. He’s a wise man; he wouldn’t kill us... Let’s not provoke him now, observe his next moves, and then decide our course."

Who would have thought that the lawless True Demons would find themselves helpless against a human?

"There has been a disturbance in the Spiritual Dimension; after observing, I discovered a new True Demon has been born, seemingly related to Lu Chenzhou." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⚑fire.net

In the High Tower Divine Country, upon hearing the information from Forgetful Old Mother, the Witch Master’s brows furrowed deeply.

"Has Lu Chenzhou become a demon? What is he planning?" Even the Witch Master couldn’t figure it out for a while.

After the Great Power, he could see through Lu Chenzhou less and less, that all-controlling feeling gradually fading away.

"The path to becoming a demon, with the slightest mistake, could result in eternal loss or losing control, which is actually good news; perhaps we need not intervene," Blood God said.

The gods of the Stars were hoping for Lu Chenzhou to become a great demon.

Time passed swiftly, and before long, a year went by.

Rush— The dull yellow waters of the Wangchuan River lapped at the banks of the void, and a nearly invisible, faint silhouette drifted over.

Only traces of spiritual golden light spread, protecting him from erosion.

Blue Mountain gazed at the countless points of light ahead, filled with emotion: "A new life can begin now."

He found the Xia Realm and plunged into it, his spiritual power gradually disintegrating.

In the end, only a trace of spiritual mark wrapped with rich Reincarnation Dao Essence remained.

Soon after, Red Leaf also arrived at the riverside, looked back once before disintegrating, and entered reincarnation.

Seventy-two True Buddhas transformed into falling stardust in the mortal world.

Lu Chenzhou watched as everything concluded, then retracted his Spiritual Embodiment, rubbing his temples, seemingly tired but filled with anticipation as he returned to Tianxia.

With the changing seasons, three years later.

First Martial Arts Hospital affiliated with Myriad Phenomena Dao Palace.

"Little Lu, you’re about to become a father, are you excited?"

On the birthing bed, a beautiful lady exuding endless mature charm held the hand of the man in front of her, smiling.

"Excited, how could I not be? I just want to see what kind of demon genius is born after my wife being pregnant for three years."

The man was Lu Xuanjian, and the beautiful woman was the mother of Li Kongkong, Jade Fan Immortal Ling Susu.

After becoming a Daoist Couple, Lu Xuanjian had been battling outside and had become a Heavenly Realm expert.

In the relatively peaceful era, Lu Xuanjian longed for a child.

Unexpectedly, this pregnancy lasted three years.

Now that the myriad races have integrated, having a foreign bloodline would be normal.

However, they were both authentic natives of old Tianxia.

In this time, Lu Xuanjian had also probed with telekinesis, only to find a very normal human embryo.

No abnormalities, nor had he been cuckolded.

He was puzzled, as such a thing had never happened before.

Not only Lu Xuanjian, but outside the hospital as well, a group of martial arts masters and experts were densely packed, waiting for the result.

Soon after, with the cries of a newborn, a new life was born.
