Chapter 355: Protect Me
Hearing the words of the Tongjiao Master, Sun Zhe suddenly recalled the conversation between Taishang Laojun and the Death Spirit Demon Ancestor on the Void Battlefield. It seemed that the Death Spirit Demon Ancestor had comprehended the Rule of Death only after devouring the Dao Soul of the Primordial Lord.
With this association, Sun Zhe immediately understood that the Primordial Lord must have entered the Demon Realm alongside the Tongjiao Master and the Supreme War Ancestor, only to be captured by the Death Spirit Demon Ancestor, who ultimately devoured his Dao Soul. After all, the Dao Soul of the Primordial Lord was transformed from the essence of Pangu the Great, which naturally possessed some extraordinary abilities.
"Then, senior, you..."
Thinking of this, Sun Zhe couldn't help but look at the Tongjiao Master.
"Hehe, you want to ask why I was only sealed and not devoured for my Dao Soul, right?" Seeing the look of confusion on Sun Zhe's face, the Tongjiao Master seemed to see through his thoughts and asked with a smile. However, to Sun Zhe, that smile appeared somewhat bitter and a bit astringent.
"Although the three of us are brothers with a common origin, all transformed from the essence of Pangu Father God, we each walked completely different paths. Among us, my elder brother is the most talented; he comprehended the Law of Causality and was the first to enter the Realm of the Ancestor Deity, gaining insight into the Causality Rule. Therefore, nothing can escape his calculations. My second brother is kind-hearted and took a steady path, seeking peace of mind; thus, he achieved the position of Pangu Ancestor just a step behind my elder brother. As for me, I am driven by a strong killing intent and have comprehended the Law of Slaughter!"
"Although my second brother achieved the position of Pangu Ancestor, his strength was not great due to his understanding of rules. In the end, he could only be captured by that Death Spirit Demon Ancestor and had his Dao Soul devoured. As for me, while I did not achieve the position of Pangu Ancestor due to my focus on slaughter rules, my power has already reached a level where it can manifest externally and has fused with my Dao Soul. Unless I willingly allow it, even if that Death Spirit Demon Ancestor were stronger, he would not be able to devour my Dao Soul!"
As he spoke, the Tongjiao Master waved his right hand, and four Black Longswords that had previously vanished suddenly roared out like four towering pillars standing proudly in mid-air. A terrifying aura emanated from these four swords. At this moment, the Tongjiao Master continued,
"These Zhu Xian Four Swords are manifestations of my Law power. They once killed Ancient God Strongmen; no matter how strong he is, that Death Spirit Demon Ancestor is merely an Ancient God Strongman—how could he dare to devour my Dao Soul?" As he spoke, an arrogant aura emanated from Tongjiao Master’s body. With his Pinnacle of Divine Realm cultivation capable of slaying Ancient God Strongmen, few could match him in this regard!
"You also cultivate the Law of Slaughter; you should know that entering this path is not particularly difficult. The challenge lies in advancing through it; this process becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. By the end, breaking through to the Realm of the Ancestor Deity becomes unimaginably challenging—even I have been stuck at that stage for countless years."
"However, every disadvantage has its advantage. Although advancing in the Law of Slaughter is difficult, its power grows increasingly terrifying as one progresses. If one can reach great mastery and achieve Destruction Rule, it would likely be considered one of the most destructive rules—ordinary Ancient God Strongmen would absolutely not stand a chance! And with my current realm facing ordinary Ancient God Strongmen, I am unafraid; it is precisely because of my manifested Law of Slaughter."
"Then why couldn't you protect Nine Continents just now?"
Sun Zhe had no doubts about Tongjiao Master's strength but did not understand why he had said what he did earlier; he could not believe that Tongjiao Master would speak without reason.
"Protecting Nine Continents... how could I not want to? I am transformed from Father God's essence; my life's mission is to protect Nine Continents. Otherwise, I could have safely hidden in Nine Continents to cultivate until reaching Realm of the Ancestor Deity before taking action—there would have been no need to risk entering Demon Realm."
"Unfortunately, I no longer have that qualification or strength!"
With a slow sigh, the figure of Tongjiao Master gradually faded away, leaving only a faint phantom in its place. In an instant, the once proud figure had completely vanished, as if a different person had appeared in its stead.
"Senior, you..." Seeing the change in Tongjiao Master's aura, Sun Zhe's eyes filled with deep shock.
"Sun Zhe, haven't you realized? This is no longer the Demon Realm you once knew; this is the Demon Realm!" In the blink of an eye, Tongjiao Master returned to his original form, but his aura had irrevocably changed.
"Although the Death Spirit Demon Ancestor dares not devour my Dao Soul, he will not allow me to regain my strength. He has not only destroyed my body but also stripped me of all my divine power, sealing my Dao Soul within the Nine Demon Cauldrons on this land of the Demon Realm. Unless I choose to submit one day, I can only slowly fade away. In other words, I am left with nothing but a Dao Soul; how can I protect the Nine Continents World?"
His words were filled with profound sorrow. He was the essence of Pangu the Great, possessing extraordinary qualifications and unparalleled talent. He should have achieved the position of Pangu Ancestor and enjoyed the admiration of countless people. Yet now, he had become like this—unable to protect the Nine Continents and unable to live normally under the sun. He could only watch helplessly as his senior's Dao Soul was devoured and as the beings he protected in the Nine Continents World suffered greatly.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Zhe tried to suppress the shock in his heart. He stepped forward to stand before Tongjiao Master and spoke earnestly.
"Is there any way for you to regain your former strength? If I can help you, Sun Zhe is willing to do everything possible—even if it costs my life!"
Tongjiao Master was one of the three giants of Daoism, his strength considered second only to Pangu Ancestor. Even though Sun Zhe's Killing Clone had reached the Pinnacle of Divine Realm, it could not compare. Moreover, Tongjiao Master had limitless potential; entering the Realm of the Ancestor Deity was only a matter of time. If he could exchange one Killing Clone for an Ancient God Strongman comparable to Supreme War Ancestor for the Nine Continents World, Sun Zhe would not hesitate for a moment.
It was not that Sun Zhe's character was particularly noble; he too sought revenge and was calculative. However, a man must know when to act and when not to act. Regarding the survival of the Nine Continents, Sun Zhe was willing to sacrifice one of his Killing Clones for a glimmer of hope for them.
Watching Sun Zhe's serious expression, Tongjiao Master said nothing. From his unwavering gaze, he could tell that Sun Zhe was indeed serious. He also understood that Sun Zhe's motivations were not solely for him; it was about the survival of the Nine Continents—a matter concerning an entire race!
"There is no way. I am left with only my Dao Soul; it is no longer as simple as regaining a physical body. Even if you take away the Nine Demon Cauldrons, I cannot leave here. The Death Spirit Demon Ancestor has calculated everything; he intends to exhaust me here!"
After a moment's pause, Tongjiao Master slowly spoke again. Just as Sun Zhe prepared to respond, Tongjiao Master suddenly turned to look at him with Jet Black Eyes fixed intently on him as if he were a rare treasure and said earnestly,
"Sun Zhe, although you are my junior, your ability to reach Pinnacle of Divine Realm in just a few hundred years indicates that you are indeed someone who carries great fortune in your path. Your qualifications and mindset are extraordinary. If given time, perhaps thousands of years later you could truly step into that supreme Realm of the Ancestor Deity. But now, with both armies from the Demon Realm and Shura Realm attacking Nine Continents imminently, you may not have that much time left."
"Now I wish to protect Nine Continents but find myself powerless. However, you managed to be brought here from Demon Realm Continent by my Zhu Xian Four Swords; this shows we are destined to meet. As practitioners of Daoism value fate and causality, this must be heaven’s decree as well. I hope you can help me protect Nine Continents!"
Fixing his gaze on Sun Zhe without any hint of jesting, Tongjiao Master spoke each word with utmost seriousness.
"Protecting you for the Nine Continents?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Sun Zhe's face as he slightly shook his head, clearly not understanding what Tongjiao Master meant.
"Under Pangu Ancestor, everyone else is but an ant. Although I can contend with an Ancient God Strongman, there are varying strengths among them. I can only match a typical Ancient God Strongman. In the face of an existence like the Death Spirit Demon Ancestor, I can only be reduced to my current state. While your cultivation is decent now, you have no power to resist an Ancient God Strongman."
"The only way is to let you step into the Divine Realm, to comprehend the Destruction Rule, and become an existence like the Death Spirit Demon Ancestor, or even surpass him. Only then will you have the qualifications to face those Ancient God Strongman and truly protect the Nine Continents World!"
Tongjiao Master's words were powerful; even though he had lost his divine power, there was still a momentum in his speech, akin to a colossal figure from ancient times.
"This... how is this possible?"
Sun Zhe suddenly trembled, finding it hard to believe.
"How can it be impossible? My killing Law has already taken form and can be externalized. As long as I am willing, you can completely devour my killing Law power and transform it into your own killing Law power. At that time, I will use my Dao Soul power to fully assist you in comprehending the Destruction Rule. By then, entering the Realm of the Ancestor Deity will be no difficulty at all!"
Gazing steadily at Sun Zhe, Tongjiao Master's voice resonated like the sound of the earth itself, filling the entire space with his voice, echoing like a stunning melody, a wave of sound!
