Chapter 707: Qin Mu Demonization

Crimson Emperor paced back and forth, calculating, "He cultivated my Indestructible Divine Sense and borrowed power from both you and me, which allowed him to suppress his brother from seizing the identity and power of the Son of Youdu. Now, we've given him too much power; his brother is directly restrained by Yin Tianzi's Netherworld Jade Seal. The only thing we can do now is to seal off the source, to prevent him from continuing to steal his brother's power..."

He had just finished speaking when Heavenly Duke had already sealed off the source, stopping the large-headed infant's power from continuing to drain.

"What next?" Heavenly Duke urged.

Crimson Emperor replied, "Then, we'll break Yin Tianzi's Netherworld Jade Seal, allowing Qin Fengqing to contend with him for the demonic nature of Youdu and reclaim the identity of the Son of Youdu."

Heavenly Duke stepped forward to examine the large-headed infant's condition. He saw that the butterfly-wing-like light in its three eyes was suppressed by a strange power. Within its pupils, there seemed to be a peculiar vortex that constantly receded, sealing the giant infant's consciousness.

Heavenly Duke attempted to break the seal, but Yin Tianzi's path was different from his own, and some of the runes were unintelligible to him. He could only attempt to violently shatter it. However, as he was merely a wisp of a clone with limited strength, he couldn't possibly obliterate Yin Tianzi's seal in a short time.

"This path won't work. Is there another way?" Heavenly Duke reluctantly gave up and asked.

Crimson Emperor looked up at the sky and said, "Wake up the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha. We'll combine our strength to break Yin Tianzi's seal, awaken Qin Fengqing, and together suppress Qin Mu!"

Heavenly Duke shook his head, "The old Buddha has fallen into slumber; how could he be so easily awakened? That idea won't work either."

Crimson Emperor sighed, "Then we can only leave it to fate. Let's hope Qin Mu still retains his own consciousness and doesn't cause a great disaster."

"Let's hope so."

Outside, Qin Mu manifested his three heads and six arms. His six arms flailed, and his three heads simultaneously let out short, excited cries as he brutally attacked Lou Yunqu and Fu Yanqi!

"Yaa! Yaa! Yaa! Yaa! Yaa!"

Countless divine arts instantly overwhelmed Fu Yanqi and Lou Yunqu. They felt as if countless Qin Mus were attacking them ferociously, causing their scalps to tingle.

Fu Yanqi only managed to block two divine arts before his own defensive art was violently shattered by Qin Mu.

"One Finger Rends the Seven Souls!" he roared, thrusting his right hand forward, his only remaining thumb raised, pressing down towards Qin Mu.

Behind him, a dark world emerged—a phantom of Youdu—where seven divine and demonic phantoms, each distinct in form, stood, manifesting their true appearances.

These were the deities representing the seven souls (魄): Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Shade, Swallowing Thief, Non-Poison, Filth Remover, and Foul Lung.

Empowered by the seven great deities, his strike contained the power to tear apart the seven souls.

Qin Mu clenched his four fingers into a fist, extending his thumb, meeting Fu Yanqi's attack with his own thumb. Fu Yanqi heard the sound of his right hand's only remaining finger breaking, its thumb bone snapping, and then it exploded with a *bang*.

The force then traveled from his wrist bone to his arm bone, dislocating his elbow joint. He heard the sound of his forearm bone piercing through his skin.

His forearm bone shot out from his elbow, separating from his body.

Excruciating pain surged through him. Although he didn't care for his physical body, the agony was intensely overwhelming.

Meanwhile, Qin Mu's other five arms, five fists, and five thumbs successively pressed against Fu Yanqi's glabella, heart chamber, dantian, tailbone, and qi sea.

Fu Yanqi coughed up blood, feeling his primordial spirit paralyzed. He was horrified and filled with dread: Qin Mu had sealed his primordial spirit with a Youdu divine art, and he hadn't even used the power of the seven soul deities! "His mastery over souls far surpasses mine!"

With his six arms and three heads, Qin Mu unleashed divine arts with incredible speed, like a raging storm. Interspersed among them were countless fist and foot techniques, as he simultaneously employed spell arts, sword arts, and physical combat arts!

The Three Heads and Six Arms, a supreme art from the Crimson Light Era, previously had significant flaws due to the discontinuity between Crimson Emperor and Radiant Emperor. However, Qin Mu, having cultivated both their ultimate arts, had mended these vulnerabilities.

Without flaws, the Three Heads and Six Arms truly behaved like three individuals, or even stronger, leaving Fu Yanqi no weaknesses to exploit and Lou Yunqu no opportunity to gravely injure him!

Fu Yanqi's cultivation was lower; he was still at the Jade Pond realm. After his primordial spirit was sealed, he was instantly severely wounded, taking countless divine arts and physical blows in a flash. Hundreds of sword lights and saber lights pierced his physical body, leaving him a bloody mess.

Even so, he was extremely decisive. His body suddenly retreated backward, disappearing from Yankang and vanishing into the darkness.

After all, he was a disciple of the Black Emperor of Youdu. At this moment, he employed Youdu's signature ultimate art, concealing his body within Youdu, rendering himself immune to all techniques.

However, the next moment, Qin Mu actually charged into Youdu as well!

The two clashed in the darkness. As Lou Yunqu rushed forward, Fu Yanqi's primordial spirit had already been blasted out of his body.

Qin Mu reached out and grabbed Fu Yanqi's primordial spirit, seizing it by the neck, while his other five arms blocked Lou Yunqu's attacks.

Fu Yanqi's physical body fell to the ground, still alive, and was about to pounce, when suddenly one of Qin Mu's heads shot out divine light, three beams of it nailing him in place.

Qin Mu turned his neck, and another head shot out divine light, blasting Lou Yunqu away.

Lou Yunqu was powerful enough to forcefully block the attack, but Qin Mu twisted his neck again, bringing the third head around, and three more beams of divine light shot out, blasting him away once more.

Lou Yunqu grew anxious. If Qin Mu merely killed Fu Yanqi and Kui Qingpei, it would be acceptable. As disciples of the Black Emperor of Youdu, their primordial spirits would be drawn back to Youdu.

The Black Emperor, controlling Youdu, could quickly arrange for their reincarnation, and they would still be his disciples in the future.

Historically, they had reincarnated multiple times, so they didn't fear death or the end of their cultivation path; at worst, they would just reincarnate again.

But this time was different.

Qin Mu was the Son of Youdu, whose fearsome reputation they had long heard of. Born in Youdu, he had consumed countless vengeful spirits and devoured many mighty figures, even beating Emperor's Throne-level ghosts into disarray.

If Qin Mu devoured them, they would be utterly dead, with no possibility of reincarnation.

Qin Mu repelled Lou Yunqu, immediately opened his mouth, and brought Fu Yanqi's primordial spirit towards it, an excited expression appearing on his face.

Lou Yunqu gritted his teeth, his figure flickering in and out of existence, constantly traversing between Youdu and reality. He dodged Qin Mu's eye beams, attacking Qin Mu with all his might, desperate not to give Qin Mu the chance to devour Fu Yanqi.

Suddenly, he unleashed two successive divine arts, directly shattering the physical bodies of Fu Yanqi and Kui Qingpei. As the two corpses broke apart, a blood sacrifice erupted, transforming into two beams of bloody light.

Near Yongjiang Academy, the stone statue immediately revived, flesh and blood rapidly regenerating.

Qin Mu blocked Lou Yunqu's attack, then shot several more beams of divine light from his eyes, blasting Lou Yunqu out of Youdu. He then grabbed Fu Yanqi's primordial spirit and brought it towards his mouth.

Just then, he suddenly felt a shadow overhead and swiftly dodged. With a thunderous boom, the Skygazer Platform trembled violently as an incredibly tall divine demon knelt in its center.

This demonic deity, with a burly and towering physique, slowly stood up.

"Using the bodies of my two junior brothers, I've finally revived the Calamity God!"

Lou Yunqu was overjoyed and was about to join forces with the Calamity God to jointly attack Qin Mu, when suddenly the Calamity God smashed a fist down. Lou Yunqu was caught off guard and was slammed into the ground by the massive fist!

The earth caved in, forming a huge, deep pit.

The Calamity God lifted its fist, blood continuously dripping from beneath it.

He was extremely distraught; his physical body was almost crippled by that one punch from the Calamity God. He had no choice but to abandon his body, letting his primordial spirit emerge, thinking, "A Youdu disciple's combat power won't weaken much without a physical body."

As his primordial spirit emerged, he immediately saw the Calamity God and Qin Mu engaged in a fierce battle high in the air.

At this moment, Qin Mu was almost feral. Various divine arts flowed effortlessly from his hands: Buddhist primordial spirits from the Devas King Buddha's Heaven King Sutra, the Prime Ancestor Human Emperor's Heaven and Earth Seal Arts, the Ancestral Dragon Grand Profound Art from the True Dragon Lair, or the cultivation methods and divine arts of the elders from Disabled Elderly Village, the divine arts of successive Human Emperors, or the cultivation methods of the Crimson Emperor and Radiant Emperor—regardless of whether he could previously master or even complete them, all were now unleashed by him!

Although he didn't fully possess the power of the Son of Youdu, he had borrowed a small portion of it, and his cultivation had become so profound it rivaled Lou Yunqu's.

With such potent magic power, wielding these divine arts was effortless. Even against the Calamity God, he didn't retreat an inch, instead focusing more on offense than defense.

He had no spiritual weapons or divine weapons in hand, fighting the Calamity God bare-handed. Whether in close combat or long-range attacks, his style was wild and brutal, directly crushing his opponent with divine arts.

Lou Yunqu's cultivation was deeper than his, but his divine arts were far less varied. Moreover, most Youdu divine arts targeted the soul; in terms of offensive methods, he was far inferior to Qin Mu.

"Just how many divine arts and profound methods does this guy master?"

Lou Yunqu watched the battle in the sky, trembling with fear. "Is this the full power of the Son of Youdu? Truly formidable! No wonder Master is so determined to obtain him!"

However, he didn't know that the power Qin Mu had borrowed hadn't even reached one percent of the Son of Youdu's full strength before Heavenly Duke and Crimson Emperor cut it off, to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

The Calamity God possessed immense power; a single divine art could force Qin Mu back and injure him. But Qin Mu had cultivated the Creation Arts of both Crimson Emperor and Radiant Emperor, giving him an appalling recovery rate for both his physical body and primordial spirit. Any injury quickly healed, making him practically unkillable.

Qin Mu's divine arts were short and explosive, erupting within a very short range. The terrifying power was compressed into tiny spaces and distances. He had no spiritual weapons, but his vital qi transformed into countless minuscule flying swords, darting around him, appearing and disappearing in an instant, making their threat even more astonishing!

This technique was learned from his father, Qin Hanzhen. Qin Hanzhen's divine arts could condense infinite power into an ordinary sword strike, causing damage only within a few inches or a square foot, yet possessing incredible destructive force.

Qin Mu had trained with Qin Hanzhen for a period, and although he learned some of his father's divine techniques, Qin Hanzhen followed the path of the Founding Emperor's lineage, and Qin Mu had never been able to master how to confine the power of divine arts within such small distances.

Yet now, he effortlessly mastered this combat technique!

"I'll kill you and eat you!"

Qin Mu leaped high, excited and furious, spinning wildly around the Calamity God, unleashing countless divine arts like a torrential downpour.

The Calamity God defended at incredible speed but was hit repeatedly. Suddenly, a muffled roar escaped its throat, and the Five-Thunder Pot, which Qin Mu had placed in Yongjiang Academy, immediately rumbled with crackling lightning.

The Five-Thunder Pot soared into the air, its lid opening. Five great cloud-thunders gushed out, mixed with countless Fire Bell Divine Soldiers—fist-sized fiery bells that, when rolling, emitted not a ringing sound but a thunderous roar like ancient bells.

The Calamity God activated the Five-Thunder Pot, and the cloud-thunders within surged directly towards Qin Mu. The combined cloud and thunder unleashed peerlessly terrifying power.

"He's even eating the Northern Emperor's divine arts?" Lou Yunqu was startled. He had been planning to ambush Qin Mu from Youdu, but witnessing this scene, he felt a jolt of alarm.

The next moment, Qin Mu held the Five-Thunder Pot, mouth agape, and astonishingly, treated it like a wine pot, raising it to drink deeply!

"This..."

Lou Yunqu felt a surge of trepidation. Treating the five great cloud-thunders and Fire Bell Divine Soldiers as fine wine to guzzle down—such an entity was absolutely beyond his ability to provoke.

"Forget it!"

He violently shook his body, and a portal materialized behind him. He shouted fiercely, "Netherworld Heavenly Gate! Demonic gods of all Youdu realms, heed my command! Come forth and slay the enemy!"

Darkness surged behind him as a passage to another dimension opened. A demonic god, riding a skeletal horse engulfed in netherflames, emerged from the portal.

Following it, a dense mass of Youdu demonic gods charged out, pouncing on Qin Mu!

Qin Mu was still guzzling from the Five-Thunder Pot, and in an instant, he was overwhelmed by the Youdu demonic gods.

On the Qin character continent, Heavenly Duke and Crimson Emperor tensely watched the battle outside. Seeing the situation, Heavenly Duke hesitated, "He's borrowed less than one percent of the power, and it looks like he can't win. Should we give him more?"

Crimson Emperor replied coldly, "How much more? If we mess this up, how will we fix it?"
