Chapter 820: Chapter 523: Original Sky Demon Disrupts Longevity, Innate Spiritual Resonance Saves the True Master (Part 3)
One year?
Ten years?
A hundred years?
He can no longer remember the years; this "True World" conflicts severely with his original memory, stretched countless times and filled with endless filth, nausea-inducing content.
His Heart Soul has completely fallen into despair.
He could not find any flaw, nor could he struggle awake; he couldn’t even bring about his own end.
He could only be forced to feel the utterly nauseating feedback, deeply entrenched, unable to be removed or avoided.
The sole comfort was that his Heart Soul ultimately held firm.
He found no pleasure in it, only anger; anger so extreme it became numbness.
And the greater comfort came in the sense that everything seemed finally to be coming to an end.
"After Tao Qian finished with the debauchery in the Sect, he seemed bored and entered the world once again."
"Finding that small evils could no longer satisfy him, he began to stir the world behind the scenes. He used the excuse of cultivating with the [Thirteenth Prince] and [Princess Bao Shou] in the Spirit Treasure Sect to gain the favor of the Zhu Royal Family. Beyond deceiving the Zhu Family and causing debauchery in the harem, he poured loads of filth onto the Zhu Dynasty, causing the Zhu Family to lose the realm."
"Through the events of the Demon City incident, the Yang Sui Uprising, the New Moon Revolt, the Qiantang Disorder, and other major events, Tao Qian took the world as his chessboard. Involving the Spirit Treasure Sect, Primordial Sect, Great Freedom Temple, the Xiu Family, the Si Family, and all major forces in the Cultivation World, he finally exterminated the Alchemist Organization."
"This organization was a legacy of the Ancestor Dragon, controlled by generations of wise Human Emperors solely to maintain the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique and protect the Longevity Realm from being invaded by Outer Realm demons."
"Until you, Tao Qian, descended as a filthy anomaly."
"Despite awakening at the last moment and realizing that he taught a monstrous demon, Duobao True Monarch attempted to sacrifice himself to save humanity, but it was fruitless. He was secretly harmed and killed by Tao Qian."
"The Forbidden Technique shattered, Tao Qian led the Evil Gods into the Longevity Realm, where tens of billions of civilians turned into Evil God blood food and were devoured completely."
...
Upon the ruins of the devoured Longevity Realm, Tao Qian’s body began to deform toward the unviewable Evil Spirit Dharma Body as if at this moment, he comprehended everything.
Looking at his disgusting Evil God monstrous form, Tao Qian suddenly laughed and realized:
"So it is, I, Tao Qian, am an alien entity, an Original Sky Demon, entering this realm precisely for destruction and pleasure."
"Those prior memories, the so-called first Heavenly Pride of the Daoist, saving the world and saving people, were all my Casting Techniques, deceiving myself to fool everyone and deluding this Heavenly Dao, borrowing Human Dao Destiny."
As these words exited.
Tao Qian’s Heart Soul, still filled with anger but also numbed and dazed, suddenly discovered that at this moment, he could control his body again.
Because of this, Tao Qian became even more desperate.
Since being able to control his body, the world became even more real, yet still without a Record, without a flaw.
Only in his heart, two choices suddenly emerged.
One, for him to continue reincarnating, continue to toy with the next world.
The other, to stay in this ruined world, quietly awaiting self-destruction.
The appearance of this choice almost meant there was no choice to make.
Tao Qian tore at his monstrous form, self-devouring, self-destructing.
This was him venting anger, the anger forced upon him for years due to experiencing those nauseating sensations.
But unimaginably, his Heart Soul was incredibly calm at this moment, still capable of thought.
This was a new skill he honed over the long torment.
"Heh, if there weren’t this choice, I might have continued to sink."
"Offering a choice, the bluff is out of tricks."
"If I choose the first option, the Dao Nightmare will automatically evolve, fabricating a new world for me to harm and toy with... But in reality, my body might completely mutate into a Demon-like entity, wreaking havoc on the world, with Ascending Immortal Island bearing the brunt, followed by the Penglai Sea."
"If I choose the second option, Demon Tao Qian appears almost indistinguishable from the ’Outer Realm Evil Gods’, seemingly possessing endless lifespan, but it’s false. Choosing means self-ending, Heart Soul and body both perishing instantly within the Star Aperture."
"This Dao Nightmare is rather generous, tormenting me for so many years and still giving me the chance to self-destruct."
"Is there really anything to hesitate about?"
With the thought stirring, Tao Qian was about to make a choice.
Other paths?
Useless, he’s tried them all over the many years of torment.
Moreover, his Heart Soul can be considered riddled with wounds, rotten beyond compare; to remain calm and clear-headed at this last moment is actually a flash of insight before dying.
Just as Tao Qian attempted to end it all, an unexpected change abruptly occurred.
A woman’s sigh suddenly echoed in Tao Qian’s mind.
Accompanying this sigh was something long forgotten: the "alien."
This object was buried within Tao Qian’s soul; upon sensing his death wish, it immediately sprouted.
Instantly, Tao Qian knew what that alien was.
It was an inspiration!
Innate Spiritual Sensing!
Its effect: helping the host perceive the true nature of the world, the profound truth of the Great Dao.
When this inspiration emerged, in a daze, Tao Qian seemingly saw a woman’s hand, emitting a clear spiritual radiance, gently brushing towards him.
Laying upon his Soul, it promptly wiped away many layers of filth.
Simultaneously, the filthy mud covering the scarlet Records in Tao Qian’s mind vanished.
All Records resoundingly emerged.
Tao Qian saw the instant and nearly roared:
"Exemption!"
"The full exemption of TMD..."
With this roar, Tao Qian’s body seemed to shiver violently as if in a fever, undergoing countless shakes.
Tao Qian finally opened his eyes and returned to the Star Aperture.
