"Is this all the strength the Demon Ancestor has left?"
From a distant realm, the myriad beings transformed from the heart demon all looked towards Fang Ming.
Martial generals, immortals, fiends, mortals, monstrous beasts...
Within the Heart Demon Realm, countless beings spoke in unison:
"Youngster, how did you find this place?"
"My path, even Hongjun, has never fathroned..."
At this very moment, a terrifying demonic will, rooted in the demonic will within the heart, surged downwards. The Great Thousand Worlds began to tremble, all things started to perish, and the entire world seemed like a fleeting dream.
Heaven and earth collapsed. The boundless demonic will of Rahu Demon Ancestor roamed the cosmos, endless and infinite, seemingly capable of encompassing the entire universe with ease!
"Youngster, although I was once slain by Hongjun and am not in peak condition, I still left a contingency!"
A cold, evil voice echoed.
"Youngster, do you dare to face my trump card?"
"Though your cultivation is at the early stage of Hunyuan Wuji, the gap between the early stage and the peak is vast enough to..."
Fang Ming didn't even finish listening.
He directly unleashed an Emperor's Dao Seal!
With the Emperor's Seal unleashed, absolute power directly shattered Rahu Demon Ancestor's disguised, false mental strength!
Within this Heart Demon Realm, an intention, a heart demon, was directly seized by Fang Ming.
This was Rahu Demon Ancestor!
Before departing, Fang Ming had used the Karma Ring to deduce the past and future. In the era of Dharma decline, Rahu Demon Ancestor's strength would truly advance to the peak of Hunyuan Wuji, similar to Shen Ni...
But now, Rahu Demon Ancestor of the Witch-Demon era was merely a heart demon who had used tricks to conceal himself from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, intending to revive and return in the future...
Meeting Fang Ming two hundred billion years ahead of schedule, Fang Ming was certainly not going to be scared away by Rahu Demon Ancestor's bluffing trick that was meant to intimidate from the moment he appeared?
He sighed, "Demon Ancestor, your trick has been exposed by me, Fang Ming."
"Now, what do you intend to do?"
That heart demon remained silent, then finally said, "Good! Good! Good!"
"Young people nowadays are truly formidable! You've actually seen through me, Rahu, and realized I was bluffing!"
"The rule of the demonic path is that the strong are respected. Since my trick has been seen through and I have fallen into your hands, I, Rahu, am willing to serve you as my master!"
"I only hope that my lord can spare my life!"
As Rahu spoke.
Fang Ming immediately sensed that Rahu was indeed worthy of being a Chaos Demon God who presided over the Great Dao of Demons, a Demon Ancestor.
Rahu's personality was similar to Fang Ming's; both were seekers of the Dao and cultivators who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
This included shamelessness and admitting defeat.
After Fang Ming entered the Heart Demon Realm, Rahu immediately felt an immense sense of crisis. He knew that he was currently surviving on a sliver of primordial spirit and intention within the Heart Demon Realm, which he had formed after his primordial spirit and body were destroyed by Hongjun during the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, and was recuperating here.
His condition was extremely poor, and he was merely drawing upon the heart demon tribulation within the nine tribulations of Golden Immortals to absorb mental energy from those undergoing tribulation in the Great Desolation to heal himself.
He only possessed the cultivation of a half-step Da Luo.
The existence of the Heart Demon Realm, this Great Thousand World, was a spiritual and mental plane. Even Hongjun, who was at the Heavenly Dao realm, had been kept in the dark by Rahu's deliberate concealment.
Logically speaking, Rahu should have been safe here, even with only half-step Da Luo cultivation.
But it wasn't until today, when Fang Ming broke in, that Rahu realized that in his current state, he was utterly incapable of dealing with a cultivator comparable to Hunyuan Wuji.
Rahu first bluffed, attempting to intimidate and drive Fang Ming away. When Fang Ming tore through his disguise, he immediately begged for mercy and admitted defeat, showing no shame whatsoever.
This was the nature of a seeker of the Dao.
Demons were always shameless.
How could a Demon Ancestor care about face?
However, Rahu Demon Ancestor's plea was in vain.
Fang Ming said coldly, "Demon Ancestor and I are both seekers of the Dao, people of the same disposition."
"Both are practitioners of the path of emotionlessness."
"As fellow practitioners of the path of emotionlessness, I cannot control you through emotion. Given your former cultivation as a late-stage Hunyuan Wuji demon god with various trump cards, it is also difficult for me to physically control you and bring you within the influence of my Human Race Heavenly Court."
The Human Race Heavenly Net controlled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it could not control the chaotic energy!
And coincidentally, Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortals were beings who could break free from the control of heaven and earth spiritual energy and absorb chaotic spiritual energy to transform it into boundless magic power.
Although Rahu's Dao fruit was broken, having been struck by Pangu's axe during the creation of heaven and earth and damaged by Dao Ancestor Hongjun,
it was still a Dao fruit at the Hunyuan Wuji level!
The severe damage that caused his strength to fall to the current half-step Da Luo level did not mean that Rahu's fundamental realm had regressed.
Rahu was, in essence, still that late-stage Hunyuan Wuji cultivator; his strength had merely fallen to the half-step Da Luo level, requiring him to cultivate anew to reach his former power!
The current Rahu, relying on his damaged Hunyuan Wuji Dao fruit, could still, with limitations, absorb chaotic energy and convert it into spiritual energy to become magic power!
This meant that Rahu's existence transcended the limitations of the Heavenly Net!
The Heavenly Net could make all alien race powerhouses submit to the Heavenly Court and control all alien races.
This was because all beings in the Great Desolation, whether immortals, Buddhas, divine beings, or alien races, were confined to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could not absorb chaotic energy to convert it into their own magic power!
Therefore, the Human Race Heavenly Court could control them!
It could allow them to submit!
But Rahu Demon Ancestor – the Human Race Heavenly Court could not control him with the Heavenly Net!
As for some kind of demon-suppressing collar?
Fang Ming knew that the collar from the Beast Taming world in the system mall, even for the highest-level beast tamers, only allowed control up to the ninth stage of Heart Power, and controlling a Hunyuan Golden Immortal was already the limit.
How could it possibly control Rahu Demon Ancestor, this cultivator who was fundamentally at the Hunyuan Wuji level?
Undeniably, in the true myriad worlds, there were absolutely treasures capable of controlling cultivators at the Hunyuan Wuji level—but such treasures did not exist in the system mall...
...It was simply because the system was not omnipotent; it had only plundered a batch of goods and commodities, but that did not mean these commodities could truly encompass all the goods in the myriad worlds...
...Just as Guangchengzi's divine deduction system could not deduce techniques of the peak Immortal King level and above, Fang Ming's system also had its limitations. In short, it should not be regarded as omnipotent...
Once the system is seen as omnipotent, one is not far from death—Fang Ming did not wish to become the next Guangchengzi, with his system directly plundered by an ultimate powerhouse.
"Demon Ancestor, no matter how you submit, in reality, you cannot guarantee your loyalty, nor can you guarantee that you will permanently submit to my Human Race Heavenly Court without betraying me."
