Chapter 845: Chapter 544: Wood Mother and Earth Elder Are Fundamentally Different, Lord Suppressing Evil’s Brilliance Revealed
The Nine Toad Beads are inherently a supreme treasure of the heterodox path, and even a single one possesses the power to flip mountains and absorb seas.
Gathering all nine, its power instantly advances to a higher level. Due to its close connection to the Toad God, even though Tao Qian has not practiced the secret arts of the Nine Toad Sect, he can still fully unleash the power of this set of supreme treasures.
The Nine Toads’ miniature world that emerged completely trapped the thirty-six Source Sea Demon Dogs.
And Tao Qian, holding the tile that heavily restrains the Demon Dogs, walked back and forth among the pack.
There is no need to perform any special divine skills, just constantly smashing down is sufficient,
"A pack of malicious and rebellious evil dogs, today you meet your destined tribulation."
As Tao Qian finished speaking, a series of "crack" sounds came to an end.
The Nine Toads’ miniature world opened again, and next, the scene was revealed to the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Spirit Treasures and the numerous Malignant Spirit Demons and Evil God’s Offspring from the Outer Realm: On the surface of the Source Qi Tide, the thirty-six Demon Dogs floated, all suffering severe head traumas, some flattened, some exploded, with brain matter and fresh blood mixed with bone fragments scattering everywhere.
Despite being "God Demon Species," all thirty-six dogs were still alive.
However, it was clear to everyone that they were already in a half-dead state, awaiting slaughter.
This result, this scene, was truly shocking.
Although Li Mei had described the ferocity and dominant status of the Source Sea Demon Dogs in the "Records of Strange Compilations," it was not the complete story.
In fact, the fame of the Source Sea Demon Dogs was much greater than recorded in the book.
For hundreds of thousands, even millions, or over a billion years, many innate and acquired gods and demons, as well as a vast number of Evil God’s Clans, have maintained their focus on the "Source Sea Demon Dogs."
The common understanding in the Great Abyss: any living being that can escape the Demon Dogs’ pursuit is already considered transcendent.
Those who can drive them away are deemed powerful.
Those who can suppress or severely injure them are entities not to be provoked.
Grandma Taizhen’s earlier words were very true; Tao Qian successfully guarded the pass and made a name for himself as Master Tao Da in the Great Abyss for the first time.
The first wave of Malignant Spirit Monsters and the subsequent Moon God’s Clan were just appetizers.
The Source Sea Demon Dogs were the true beginning.
As Tao Qian stood atop the Treasure Boat, holding the tile that still bore no trace of dust or bloodstain, surrounded by the thirty-six heavens-devouring Demon Dog corpses... at this moment, Master Tao Da, this Human Clan Cultivator from the Longevity Realm, was marked by a vast number of Evil God’s Clans, as well as some gods and demons, for the first time.
Even at this instant, unknown gazes with the stench of alien pollution anchored over from a distance.
Each one seemed eager to do something to Tao Qian.
Thus in an instant, a series of records exploded in his mind.
Most had no effect, being exempted by his Spirit Treasure Sublime Body.
A few, however, stirred his true reliance.
Like this one: Being marked by the acquired god and demon "Rabbit God," due to its avatar’s demise at your hands, it hates you deeply and loves you profoundly, desiring to forcibly abduct you to Guanghan Palace, feed you the Elixir of Longevity, and imprison you as a servant for its humiliation... can be exempted.
What truly concerned Tao Qian were these two:
[Name: Wood Mother’s Eye.]
[Record Type: Divinity.]
[Record: Being spied on and marked by the innate god and demon "Wood Mother," Wood Mother is a mysterious innate god and demon in the Source Sea, uninterested in fighting, preferring reproduction. Though having many offspring, few survive, hence the few that do form a species that gain Wood Mother’s favor, among which the Source Sea Demon Dogs belong.]
[Note One: Wood Mother had left a Daoist Lineage in the Longevity Realm, acquired by the "Human King Can Cong," who worshipped it for years to gain protection, receiving supernatural powers and mana, fallen and extinct later, leaving multiple relics and secret realms, with the treasure refined by Duobao Daoist, the "Undying Copper Tree," originating from the secret realm of the ancient Human King’s Three Star Cave.]
[Note Two: Because thirty-six of its offspring, the Source Sea Demon Dog clan, were severely injured by you, the bloodline’s spiritual response summoned a wisp of god and demon intent to parasitize over, once succeeded, two outcomes await: one is immediate mutation and violent death, contaminated by Wood Mother’s divinity, all flesh and mana transform into wood, becoming a humanoid tree planted in the tide; the other is the bloodline essence being seized, after merging, birthing an unknown offspring species.]
[Note Three: Cannot exempt being known by "Wood Mother," can exempt mutation cost, can exempt being seized essence cost.]
...
[Name: Earth Elder’s Touch.]
[Record Type: Divinity.]
[Record: Being spied on and marked by the innate god and demon "Earth Elder," this god is also an innate god and demon in the Great Abyss, the father of the Source Sea Demon Dogs. However, compared to Wood Mother, this god, though holding an innate god and demon title, is not known for any fame; the strength of its divinity is unknown, only that it traverses heavens and realms quietly, was captured by Wood Mother during exploration, resulting in the creation of the Source Sea Demon Dog clan.]
[Note One: Though an innate god and demon, Earth Elder is of a dazed nature, devoid of wisdom. Touching you with its divinity is a response to its offspring’s call; sensing the Toad God’s aura, it has retracted its divine tendrils.]
[Note Two: Disturbed by the Toad God’s will, Earth Elder, abandoning revenge, is willing to compensate with a volume of Lifebound Scripture, the "Taiyin Ten Earths Rejuvenation Scripture," which is presently being sent to you through the void.]
[Note Three: Practicing this Sutra grants the power of the innate god and demon, offering longevity and immortality, and when standing on the earth, one can possess supreme extraordinary power, but the price is the gradual loss of wisdom, leading to a dazed state, akin to becoming a parasitic Earth Corpse.]
[...]
As the subsequent records flowed, a crack suddenly appeared in the void before Tao Qian’s eyes.
On the cover were seven crooked large characters: "Taiyin Ten Earths Rejuvenation Scripture."
Looking at this Great Book, Tao Qian said with a wry smile on his face.
"I smashed thirty-six dog heads and ended up provoking two innate gods and demons."
"One has recorded my name, just waiting to retaliate, while the other, instead of seeking vengeance, even gifted me a Lifebound Scripture?"
"Hmm, if I truly practice it, perhaps he will have succeeded in his revenge."
Then, with a thought, Tao Qian first waved his sleeve and collected the Lifebound Scripture "Taiyin Ten Earths Rejuvenation Scripture" sent through the void.
Although he does not practice cultivation, it can be used as a collection.
If not accepted, at this moment the Toad God Tile also has a spiritual response, informing Tao Qian that if he does not accept the compensation, the "Earth Elder," with its limited intelligence, will mistakenly consider it a signal for war. Although this is a god without spiritual wisdom, it ultimately holds the esteemed status of an Innate God Demon.
If true malicious intent arises and it finds an opportunity, Tao Qian is certain to die.
The principle of quitting while ahead applies here.
As for the "Wood Mother," the Toad God also provides guidance. This Innate God Demon is indeed powerful, but its divine body is abnormal and is trapped deep in the Source Sea, unable to move.
Even if it seeks revenge, it can only dispatch some descendants.
The Source Sea Demon Dogs are already the most powerful descendant clan under the Wood Mother. These vile dogs have already met such an end, and sending others would merely be futile.
Through these two spiritual responses, the Toad God’s joy at this moment is apparent.
It’s no wonder!
The Toad God has always loved watching games like "skull-crushing," but Tao Qian, except when he smashed it once for help, otherwise doesn’t bother, shamelessly so.
Three years of boredom came to a delightful end when the doors opened to see Tao Qian smashing the heads of thirty-six Source Sea Demon Dogs with the Tile.
From the Record of the Tile, it’s clear that these demon dogs had also angered the Toad God.
It’s just that He is too lazy to act personally.
Tao Qian can fully imagine the Toad God’s current joy and glee.
An even more direct display follows:
A loud "quack" resounds!
In the skies above the Source Qi Tide, which gathers the world’s vibrant colors, a rift opens wide, and endless golden light and treasure aura pour down like Tianhe waterfalls raining golden treasure coins from various heavens, mixed with numerous Immortal Treasure Heavenly Books, quickly piling high on Tao Qian’s [Miraculous Tree Treasure Boat].
This scene, besides its effects, is also a deterrent.
Besides deep-seated enemies like the Rabbit God, Wood Mother, and Earth Elder, Tao Qian was being watched by a plethora of malignant spirits and evil gods, along with their descendant clans.
But witnessing the Toad God personally stand in support, they all retracted their presence.
Surrounded by treasures, Tao Qian muttered "Toad God is generous," and then waved to collect them.
Then, his gaze turned to the Source Sea Demon Dogs slowly regenerating.
God Demon Species, indeed incomparable to ordinary life forms, each truly immortal.
Though Tao Qian understands Secret Techniques to truly kill them.
For example, refining them for several hours with the True Fire of Suppressing Evil, ensuring all thirty-six vile dogs die and turn to ash, perhaps even producing a batch of [Nine Revolutions Life-taking Undying Elixirs].
But doing so would be costly and time-consuming.
It’s not practical at this moment, as Tao Qian has no free hands now.
Considering for a moment, he came up with an idea.
Sitting cross-legged on the Treasure Boat, he selected a golden rope from the treasures bestowed by the Toad God, then invoked a refining technique, imbuing it with profound Buddha Seals never circulated inside the Longevity Realm, accompanied by an eruption of ten thousand feet of Buddha Light.
Before long, a dog rope glittering with golden light, exuding extraordinary Buddhist charm, was born.
"Back then, Great Abyss Zen Master gave me half a scroll of the ’Nameless Buddha Sutra,’ which contained Supreme Dharma not yet revealed to the world. Even after cultivating for three years, I haven’t comprehended much, only developed some rather novel Buddhist Divine Powers."
"This technique is called ’Vajra Maitreya Binding Demon Seal.’ The Buddhist Treasure refined with it can bind innumerable devils both inside the realm and of the Outer Realm. Let’s see if this Source Sea Demon Dog can escape this."
"Go!"
With this thought, Tao Qian immediately uttered a low shout.
The golden rope swiftly split into thirty-six, perfectly binding the thirty-six demon dogs with newly regenerated heads.
The Source Sea Demon Dogs, which had just recovered, immediately aimed to charge toward Tao Qian.
Tao Qian smiled upon seeing this, forming a seal with his hand and chanting a mantra.
The golden rope on the demon dogs’ necks immediately tightened, and amid the surge of Buddha Light, all thirty-six demon dogs felt boundless pain.
They all howled continuously, collapsing to the ground, defecating and urinating simultaneously.
"This mantra is called ’All Living Beings’ Suffering Relief Mantra,’ and if recited correctly, it can remove pain and sin for sentient beings."
"However, if I recite it inversely and combine it with the Vajra Maitreya Binding Demon Rope on your necks, it pours the suffering of sentient beings into your souls."
"It’s uncertain whether beings like you, God Demon Species, can endure such suffering."
"But now it seems, you cannot."
"So, behave obediently."
As Tao Qian did this and spoke these words.
For a moment, the initially quelled malicious spirit surveillance tide due to the Toad God’s backing surged and roared again.
The reason is simple!
Tao Qian actually intends to subdue the infamous demon dog clan of the Source Sea on a mere whim?
Inside Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals, many True Immortal Elders understand the stakes.
Hence, it’s remarkable and surprising at this moment.
Once more, they recalled Senior Sister Ma Yi’s evaluation of Tao Qian.
Is it truly the moment for the Three Religions Cultivator of Evil Suppression True Monarch to emerge prominently among the Great Abyss Gods and Demons?
