Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1637 - 440: The Path Cleared and Enduring the Beating (5k)_2

The destruction of the Yang Devil might be directly related.The moment Jiu Nian began to step into death was when the Yang-destroying Devil began to personally observe, personally participate, and escort a being of All Gods to the onset of death.

And the true moment Jiu Nian stepped into death was when the Yang-destroying Devil had accumulated for many years, and with countless demons sacrificed at that time, he truly touched death from the point of merely seeing a vague illusion for the first time.

Thinking more deeply, when the female Ba was suddenly pregnant, the Yang-destroying Devil had already been sensing death and pursuing it for many days. Under the witness of the Yang-destroying Devil, many people had already stepped into death.

But in the same scenario, when Li Qiu was dying years ago, the Yang-destroying Devil had not started to truly perceive death, had not taken any steps.

Back then, as far as the Yang Devil went, it was all just big talk; in actuality, not a step was taken, and not a neck was lengthened to take a look.

Thinking about it this way, many things fall into place.

It definitely wasn't because he told Juice some outrageous story that made Juice act, giving life to the female Ba's womb.

Instead, he deceived the Yang Devil, causing the Yang Devil to split and morph into a Yang-destroying Devil, and only after the Yang-destroying Devil sensed death year after year did these results occur.

Even though the Yang-destroying Devil didn't step onto the so-called path of death, there was after all an accumulation.

If not for the previous accumulations, the Yang-destroying Devil wouldn't have touched death in one try this time.

Yu Ziqing felt that he had underestimated the Yang-destroying Devil.

An All Gods Divine King, willing to abandon everything, unflinchingly and resolutely pursue death, even if it meant complete downfall from body to heart.

How terrifying would the power it erupts be?

At the very least, in the Yang-destroying Devil's current state, over time, his rank is bound to change.

The first touch of so-called death signifies that living beings have felt death.

After all, even if we take a step back, the Yang-destroying Devil is still considered living now.

To say that in an instant, he broke through the eternal barrier between life and death is not an exaggeration.

The female Ba was the first beneficiary of the Yang-destroying Devil's pursuit of the path.

The Yang-destroying Devil's journey was carving out a possibility, step by step, from nothing.

Allowing the identity of a female Ba the possibility of conception.

That slight possibility, maybe just captured through the efforts of Han Dong and the female Ba.

In Yu Ziqing's eyes, Divine Light shone, mystery brewed, and after a long pause, he slowly withdrew his hand.

The female Ba and Han Dong looked at him apprehensively, waiting for his response.

"I think it might not be a bad thing.

But to be on the safe side, I should confirm it with someone.

Has Li Qiu visited?"

"She has, but she doesn't understand either."

"Hmm, I'll find someone else, who is undoubtedly the only one knowledgeable in this path in our time."

Yu Ziqing took out the Communication Jade Scroll and sent a message to Almsgiving Town, asking someone to bring the Yang-destroying Devil over.

...

In Almsgiving Town, Jia Shisi wielded a long blade, slicing through the air with a single strike.

As the Heavenly Blade emerged, a blood-red blade shadow refined to the extreme pierced downwards, directly falling into the Abyss Rift Valley.

The blade light did not dissipate, drawing a line through all touched demons, turning them all to dust.

The blade light didn't harm the Abyss Rift Valley even slightly, charging through directly.

A Great Demon, having only the upper body left, trying to escape back to the present world from the Abyss Rift Valley, saw the blade light surge out from beneath it, instantly cleaving it in two.

The blade light shot into the Abyss, slowly disappearing from sight.

The next moment, the Great Demon's body split into two, collapsing to the sides, and from within its body, the blade light emerged again, splitting it into four, and then into eight, cascading this way.

In a few breaths, the Great Demon was completely enveloped and shredded by the blade light.

The debris scattered within the Abyss Rift Valley, covering an area several tens of miles in radius outside the canyon.

Its True Body, and its Devil Soul, everything was chopped to pieces, each the same size.

Soon enough, a horde of hungry ghosts rushed out, skillfully and expertly cleaning the battlefield, leaving no speck behind.

The war at the Abyss Rift Valley was essentially at its end.

The fall of the Great Demons happened swiftly, don't expect those strong ones to play fair.

Any slight inconvenience and they would call for backup instantly.

Especially after the first Great Demon fell, the situation basically turned into a mass attack, and Great Demons died even faster.

Quick recovery, difficult to die, wasn't considered a major issue anymore.

In the past, pollution from demonic qi and erosion were the most worrisome, but now they weren't considered significant problems for the people.

With time passing, although sweet rain remained scarce, some strong individuals had accumulated a bit.

Some bold and resolutely minded strong individuals have started to develop new uses for sweet rain.

For some Third Tribulation Realm experts on the brink of crossing tribulation, fearing instability in their state of mind and encountering Heart Devil Tribulations, they actively enter Devilic once, nurturing Devil Thoughts, and honing themselves.

When the self-training reaches a point that control becomes increasingly difficult, they use the sweet rain kept in reserve to complete an Almsgiving Ceremony to return themselves to normal.

Thus, the likelihood of encountering Heart Devil Tribulation afterward becomes very low, and even if unfortunate enough to encounter it, the chance of overcoming it becomes high.

When there were no hungry ghosts or sweet rain, this kind of strategy didn't exist.
