The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 298 - 144 Emperor’s Treasure "Kongtong Seal" (Part 2)

Chapter 298: Chapter 144 Emperor’s Treasure "Kongtong Seal" (Part 2)

"Boom!" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

A colossal turquoise hand surged down from the sky, not only suppressing Zhunti’s Saintly aura but also indiscriminately impacting Jieyin alongside him.

The hand swallowed the heavens and split the earth. It forcefully smashed the two Saints from the West deep into the ground, where a dark hole continuously spewed out scorching magma.

The members of the Demon Race were instantly frightened, almost stopping their breaths. Although Li Qingming was somewhat accused of ambushing, his presence was terrifying. Just standing several zhang away without moving, he casually flattened Zhunti and Jieyin into the heart of the magma.

Let alone the Demon Race, even the collective Saints were dumbfounded, never expecting Li Qingming’s cultivation to be so fearsomely profound! Fortunately, they had a deep relationship with Li Qingming, otherwise, Jieyin and Zhunti would have been examples.

Even the dignified Saints were so easily manipulated. Jieyin and Zhunti’s humiliation was beyond words.

Jieyin’s face turned particularly ugly as he emerged from the magma, but under such circumstances, he had no choice but to bow his head.

"Qingmingzi, as for this gift of yours! We in the West will certainly remember it, and we’ll settle things later." With no other options, Jieyin could only grudgingly throw down those harsh words and drift away.

After the Western Two Saints left and a tea time passed, suddenly, a surge of Dragon Qi roared, with nature’s spiritual energy continuously emerging. Suddenly, a golden light soared into the sky, flying out a small square seal.

Li Qingming lifted his head and sighed inwardly: "Kongtong Seal, it really is the Kongtong Seal!"

The Kongtong Seal is a treasured possession of the Human Emperor, protected by the Five-colored Divine Dragon, impervious to all methods, and capable of stabilizing the elements between heaven and earth — truly a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, especially effective in suppressing Qi Fortune.

When this Spiritual Treasure appeared, Laozi showed joy and said: "Hahaha! It should indeed belong to me!"

The Three Pure Ones are united; neither Primordial nor Tongtian would snatch Laozi’s items. As for Houtu and the Netherworld River, it’s also impossible. Their relationship with Li Qingming is close, and they wouldn’t harm their friendship with Li Qingming over a Spiritual Treasure that is of no use to them.

Having said this, Laozi flicked his duster, intending to capture the Spiritual Treasure.

Unexpectedly, just as he swung it mid-air, Nuwa snorted coldly, using the Red Embroidery Ball to knock Laozi’s duster aside, saying, "Eldest senior brother, the function of this Spiritual Treasure is clear to both of us. As the Holy Mother of the Human Clan, this Kongtong Seal rightfully belongs to me!"

Laozi frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Holy Mother of the Human Clan? When the Demon Race slaughtered the Human Clan, did you stop them? When humans prayed to the Holy Mother for salvation, did you appear? Now, the name of the Human Clan’s Holy Mother is probably in theory only. What right do you still have to control the Kongtong Seal?"

Laozi’s words were sharp as a knife, deeply piercing Nuwa’s heart. Her face pale, yet she stubbornly said, "The human race was created by me; their fate should be determined by me. Why can’t I control the Kongtong Seal?"

Helpless, Laozi could only shake his head and say, "If so, we still need to have a showdown!"

"By all means!" Nuwa replied coldly and indignantly, then turned and flew towards Chaos Outer Heaven.

Laozi and the All Saints exchanged glances, fixing the Kongtong Seal in mid-air, and followed closely behind Nuwa.

...

In the Void of Chaos Outer Heaven, Laozi and Nuwa stood opposite each other. The other Saints stood quietly tens of miles away.

Laozi waved his robe sleeves and bowed slightly, asking, "Is Junior Sister really intent on seizing the Kongtong Seal?"

"Hmph! The affairs of the Human Clan should rightfully be controlled in the hands of the Holy Mother and have nothing to do with your Human Sect. Elder brother, if you want to snatch it, you must see if I agree!" Nuwa scolded, stretching out her delicate jade finger towards the sky, summoning an object from the horizon, which was the Supreme Innate Treasure previously lent to Fu Xi, the Mountain and River Map.

Nuwa raised her hand gently, and without any wind, the Mountain and River Map autonomously spread, infinitely spreading while the surrounding space rippled, its immense suction force like waves on a boundless ocean.

"Mountains stir, performing the Primordial!" Nuwa shouted.

Once again, the Mountain and River Map expanded, enveloping Laozi along with the tens of miles of space around him.

From start to finish, Laozi was smiling relaxedly, not frightened by being wrapped into the map’s spatial domain.

"Lady Nuwa, do you think this Mountain and River Map can trap the Old Tao?" Laozi looked around at the beautiful scenery in the space within the map, seeming quite leisurely.

As Laozi’s words fell, the surroundings transformed: a magnificent small world replaced the previously scenic mountains and rivers. Now, great mountains stretched endlessly, ancient trees towering.

A vast expanse of magnificent landscape, coming from afar without an end, suddenly covered the whole sky, the Great Mountains rising and collectively pressing toward Laozi.

"Hmm?" Laozi slightly furrowed his brow, pointed a finger towards the sky, and the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram appeared out of nowhere.两条 Yin and Yang Fish, slick and smooth, slithered out from the Tai Chi Diagram. Their mouths continuously spat out black and white airflow; the two streams intertwined, instantly forming a Black and White Holy Sword.

Laozi’s Daoist robe fluttered as he stood poised in mid-air, his Black and White Holy Swords raised high. It seemed as though the spiritual energy of the entire world was being mobilized, following his lead.

"Boom!"

Laozi channeled the Yin Yang Qi, striking downwards powerfully. He split the looming Great Mountain right into two halves. The vast aftermath spread for miles, with black and white ripples swirling outwards.

A ruthless glint flashed across Lady Nuwa’s eyes as she muttered to herself, "What a grand elder brother! Indeed, his methods are ingenious!"

She then flung an object from her hand. It was about the size of a human head, glowing bright red. Upon closer inspection by all present, it was recognized as the Acquired Merit Treasure, the Red Embroidery Ball.

After leaving Lady Nuwa’s hand, the Red Embroidery Ball grew rapidly in size upon catching the wind. By the time it hovered above Laozi’s head, it had expanded to the size of a grinding plate, bearing the overwhelming force of Mount Taishan.

Laozi chuckled lightly again, his smile now filled with boundless confidence. Amongst the spiritual treasures that Nuwa could utilize, only the Mountain and River Map and the Red Embroidery Ball were notable. Now that the Red Embroidery Ball was deployed, it indicated that Lady Nuwa had exhausted her tricks, at least against him.

With the Supreme Treasure near him, Laozi and the Flat Stick in his hand radiated endless Taiqing True Essence, which instantly turned into a hemp rope. It circled around the Red Embroidery Ball thrice, halting its advance completely, entangling incessantly with the transformed rope in mid-air.

Lady Nuwa’s Mana was already inferior to Saints like Laozi. At this moment, with the Mountain and River Map binding Laozi and the tangled mess with the Red Embroidery Ball, she would soon exhaust her Mana. Not to mention seizing the Kongtong Seal, even keeping these two Innate Treasures seemed unlikely against Laozi’s force.

Considering this, Lady Nuwa simply gave up resisting, retracting both treasures and left without looking back, heading straight for Nuwa Palace.

Stunned, Laozi and all Saints watched Lady Nuwa’s delicate departing figure, unable to recover their senses for a long while.

"Elder brother, since Sister Nuwa has conceded voluntarily, we might as well return to the Primordial Era," Primordial was the first to recover, shaking his head.

This struggle between the two provinces seemed quite inexplicable!

Meanwhile, at the Buzhou Mountain Range, chaos ensued. With all Saints gathered in Chaos Outer Heaven, and Kongtong Seal left unattended, Di Jun, who had been eyeing the treasure, became more eager.

Bai Ze, the loyal lackey, always played a significant role. Discerning reactions was his forte. Catching Di Jun’s hesitating expression and randomly glancing at the spiritual treasure in the sky, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, ’the worthy holds the treasure.’ Now that all Saints are at Chaos Outer Heaven, they simply cannot spare attention to this place. If we obtain this treasure now, the matter is settled. Even the Saints wouldn’t blatantly rob our Demon Race of the spiritual treasure. In my view, you must decide promptly."

"Yes, big brother! With the Northern Emperor Li Qingming and Lady Nuwa supporting us from behind, even the Saints wouldn’t dare to act rashly before our Demon Race!" Taiyi, upon hearing Bai Ze’s words, fervently urged.

Poor Taiyi was unaware that Lady Nuwa he mentioned had already returned to the Nuwa Palace, and Li Qingming had completely abandoned the Demon Race during their massacre of the Human Clan. Yet they were still indulging in daydreams. How sad!

"Fine, we’ll just seize the spiritual treasure outright! Facing the upcoming Calamity, it will give us leverage against the Witch Tribe!" Di Jun’s expression hardened, as he swiftly lunged towards the Kongtong Seal.

On the side of the Witch Tribe, Ju Mang was rather astonished and pointed at Di Jun, exclaiming, "Damn, Di Jun has some nerve! He dares to snatch a Taiqing Saint’s predetermined spiritual treasure. Does he have a death wish?"

"Huh?" Di Jiang abruptly turned his head, saying, "No way, we can’t let the Demon Race seize the Kongtong Seal!"

As Di Jiang stepped forward, thousands of spatial patterns burst forth from the ground, forming an elaborate teleportation array. With a flick of his finger, a spatial crack appeared instantly, and he stepped through it, his face cold and determined.

"Crack!" When Di Jiang re-emerged, he was already beside Di Jun, shooting out his right fist in a blow.

"Hmph! I’ve been on guard against you Witch Tribe all along!" Di Jun coldly chuckled, with the River Diagram and Luo Book suddenly manifesting above his head. White, radiant light sliced through the sky, enveloping Di Jun within.

"Boom!"

Di Jiang’s fist, imbued with the force of space and an incomparable bloodline energy, slammed into the protective light of the River Diagram and Luo Book. The vibrations it caused instantly fractured the space.

"Shriek!"

Di Jun flicked out a metal plate, swiftly slashing towards Di Jiang’s left arm, with golden light surging like a burst dam, shooting up violently!

"Damn it! A spatial barrier!" Di Jiang coldly snorted, deploying his famed Divine Skills. The space in front of Di Jiang was sheerly cut by endless space power, as if he had been moved inside a mirror.

"Boom!"

In that instant, a terrifying wave surged forth. This space barrier couldn’t withstand Di Jun’s attack at all. The glaring golden metal plate shattered the space, striking Di Jiang’s left arm.

"Puff!"

Blood soared against the heavens, bright red blood gushing from the wound! (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote via recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
