Chapter 757: Brotherhood Fusion

The two demon gods exchanged glances. One of them said lazily, "Have you come to visit your mother? Do you have a travel permit?"

Qin Mu shook his head. "No."

The other demon god glanced around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have any gratuity?"

Qin Mu was puzzled. "What do you mean by 'gratuity'?"

"You're not very discerning, are you? 'Gratuity' naturally refers to heavenly materials and earthly treasures, anything valuable."

The first demon god snapped, "This is a place for suppressing the greatest evils. You have no travel permit, and nothing valuable to bribe us with. And you still want to enter? Get lost!"

Qin Mu quickly smiled and said, "I do have some treasures. What do you think of King Ren Sheng of Tianqi's boat? Can I use this boat to gain entry into the pass?"

The demon god sneered, "What use is a boat to us? We can't leave this place anyway..."

The other demon god's expression changed slightly as he looked at the boat. He quickly grabbed his companion and smiled apologetically at Qin Mu, "He was just joking with you. You may enter."

Qin Mu thanked them and walked into the Jade Lock Pass of Youdu.

"Are you out of your mind!" The voices of the two demon gods came from behind him. "That's King Ren Sheng of Tianqi's boat! When has King Ren Sheng ever let anyone else use his boat? This 'Qin Fengqing' has the King's boat, so he must be one of the King's trusted confidants. If you had driven him away and he complained to the King, we'd be in serious trouble!"

"You're more discerning, Brother; I was rash. What's this young man's relationship with the King? To be able to borrow the King's boat, he must have quite a background."

"Most likely a visitor from the Heavenly Court... Wait, what did he say his name was just now? I was too focused on how to fleece him; I didn't hear clearly."

The two demon gods exchanged glances. One of them bravely called out to Qin Mu, "Young man, please stop. What was your name again just now? Could you repeat it?"

Qin Mu turned back, a bright smile on his face. "Esteemed Deities, my name is Qin Mu, Qin Fengqing."

The minds of the two demon gods exploded. They stared blankly as he walked into Jade Lock Pass. Just then, two more demon gods arrived for their shift change. They passed Qin Mu, looked at him briefly, and chuckled, "Someone's here at Jade Lock Pass? Brothers, have you checked him?"

The two demon gods stood frozen. The arriving demon gods frowned, walked closer, and smelled the pungent odor of urine. They saw that the ground around the two demon gods' feet was soaked.

"Qin..." One of them stammered, "Qin, Qin, Qin... He Who Must Not Be Named is back!"

His voice suddenly became incredibly loud and shrill as he shrieked, "This is terrible! He Who Must Not Be Named is back and has broken into Jade Lock Pass! To arms! To arms!"

"Quickly notify all the deities and immortals! That overlord whose name cannot be spoken has returned to pick up his mother!"

Inside the Jade Lock Pass of Youdu, Qin Mu heard the shouts from behind him. Feeling surprised, he turned to look. The four demon gods, seeing him turn, were utterly terrified. With a few thuds, all four demon gods fainted.

"That being whose name cannot be spoken? Are they talking about me?"

Qin Mu couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, he shook his head and thought to himself, "Twenty-two years ago? So I'm twenty-two years old this year. The Village Chief said I was twenty-two, but Granny said I was twenty-one. Now it's finally settled; they don't have to argue anymore. Hey, you four!"

He shouted, kindly reminding them, "Aren't you going to escape? Do you intend to be eaten?"

The four fainted demon gods immediately jumped to their feet, transformed into four streaks of demonic light, and vanished.

"My brother's notorious reputation is really quite widespread." Qin Mu mused. This trip to Jade Lock Pass had been unusually smooth, somewhat beyond his expectations.

From within the pass came the thumping of drums, filled with killing intent. He immediately felt countless powerful and terrifying auras emanating from inside. Clearly, a large number of troops were stationed within the Jade Lock Pass of Youdu, guarding strictly to prevent the suppressed entities from escaping.

Qin Mu composed himself, silently peeled off the willow leaf on his forehead, and whispered, "Brother, I've come to see Mother..."

His eyes suddenly welled up with emotion, and he revealed a gentle smile. "You've seen Mother, but I never have. Mother held you, kissed you, but she never held or kissed me. If you hadn't committed such a great transgression, I wouldn't have been unable to see Father, unable to see Mother..."

In his third eye on his forehead, on the continent marked with the character 'Qin', the Big-headed Infant sat, looking up at the sky.

Heavenly Duke's avatar and Emperor Chi's consciousness instantly tensed. Heavenly Duke's avatar shouted loudly, "Qin Feng... Qin Mu, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything rash!"

Qin Mu's voice came through: "Who doesn't want to spend their childhood cherished by their parents? Who doesn't want to be accompanied by their parents when they're young? But I didn't have that. Brother, I've come to see Mother. You must compensate me. Today..."

His body swayed, his voice a little hoarse. "I need to borrow your strength, Brother! I can't control the demonic nature, but you can. You can't control divine arts, but I can. Brother, Qin Fengqing, come out!"

Heavenly Duke's avatar and Emperor Chi's consciousness both roared in unison, shouting, "Don't do anything rash—"

Above the continent, the sky vibrated. Qin Mu's consciousness pierced through the firmament: "Brother, let's merge into one. We'll go see Mother together!"

The Big-headed Infant shot up into the sky, flying outwards.

"No—"

Heavenly Duke's avatar and Emperor Chi's consciousness both flew outwards in unison, but saw the seal suddenly strengthen. It was Qin Mu covering his third eye with the willow leaf, sealing them within the Qin character continent.

The two landed, their hearts turning cold.

"That little scoundrel Qin Mu! He can't control his demonic nature at all, he can't control Qin Fengqing at all!" Heavenly Duke's avatar was furious. He paced back and forth anxiously, then suddenly looked up at the Great Buddha in mid-air and shouted loudly, "Old Buddha, wake up quickly! Something big has happened!"

The Great Buddha was in a deep slumber and couldn't hear him at all.

"Is this Old Buddha here to suppress Qin Fengqing, or to sleep?" Emperor Chi's consciousness couldn't help but be furious as well.

Qin Mu's body swayed, his physical form rapidly expanded, and arms sprouted out. At the same time, two more necks grew from his neck, leaving him with six shoulders, six arms, and three heads.

One of the heads suddenly transformed into the form of a child. Instantly, Qin Mu felt an incredibly terrifying power surging over him like a tidal wave!

That power was not gained from the opening of divine treasures or the activation of heavenly palaces; advancing his cultivation realm could not bestow this power. This was the power of rules, the laws of Youdu, the power of heaven and earth, the power of Youdu's Great Dao!

He was like an ancient god born of nature, and also like a demigod who grew stronger with age, possessing the strengths of both ancient gods and demigods!

"Naughty little brother, I'll control the power, and you control the rules!" The infant head spoke with a child's tender voice.

Qin Mu felt a surge of power, like a vast ocean, pouring into his physical body. His body expanded again, his muscles continuously swelled, and the various Great Dao laws of Youdu transformed into countless pieces of information and flooded his mind, instantly clear, effortlessly grasped, as if he was born with the ability to control them.

The big-headed doll form of Qin Fengqing controlled the demonic nature, while Qin Mu controlled the strength and rules.

He grew taller and taller, towering into the clouds, as tall as a mountain.

*Rip—*

Qin Mu tore off the willow leaf again. At this moment, within the Qin character continent, Heavenly Duke and Emperor Chi's consciousness looked out at the world. The seal had become weak. Emperor Chi tried to break the seal, but Heavenly Duke's avatar shook his head and said, "There's no point trying to escape; we can't. Qin Mu and Qin Fengqing, working together as brothers, have completely mastered the power of the Youdu Divine Son. The reason he revealed the seal is that the power he now controls means he doesn't need to worry about us interfering."

Emperor Chi's consciousness flew up into the sky and indeed saw that the seal had become incredibly thick and strong, with no possibility of breaking it.

"Let's just accept our fate," Heavenly Duke sighed. "Now we can only hope Qin Mu still retains his sanity and isn't completely controlled by his brother."

Within the pass, the divine demon camp guarding Jade Lock Pass was filled with a chilling aura of hostility. Divine demons stood atop high towers, holding bows and arrows, their gazes sharp and ready for battle.

*Thump, thump, thump.*

Incredibly heavy footsteps approached, shaking the ground and mountains. Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the divine demons, and beads of sweat as large as beans streamed down their temples.

"Don't be afraid!" A majestic and extraordinary Demon General, with extremely high cultivation, clearly the commander here, stationed by the command of Earth Count, said sternly, "Don't be afraid! He was sealed by Earth Count for over twenty years. Even if he breaks the seal, his strength will only be that of twenty years ago. We wield the treasures given by Earth Count; there's no need to fear him in the slightest!"

He shouted loudly, "Our Jade Lock Pass army has never feared the Youdu Divine Son! If he comes, we will capture him!"

At that moment, he saw a divine demon with three heads and six arms approaching, whose entire body was covered in Youdu runes. Those marks seemed to have transformed into the Great Dao of Youdu itself, etched onto the divine demon's skin!

He had three heads: one was that of a child, and the other two were those of a youth. The two youth heads had one with a calm gaze and the other with a fiery one.

The Demon General's gaze was blank, and his eye twitched violently. "It's over, it's over. He used to not understand divine arts and spells, so we could still fight him. Now, his mastery of Youdu's divine arts and spells is higher than any of ours... It's over."

The three-headed, six-armed Qin Mu walked past the divine demon camp, looking down at the divine demon soldiers within.

Qin Fengqing turned his head and licked his lips excitedly. "Naughty little brother, with your abilities, you could devour this whole place in one gulp! Once you taste these little things, you'll never forget it and will definitely love eating them. They're very refreshing!"

Qin Mu suddenly bowed and said in a deep voice, "I have come to see my mother. If you don't block me, you won't die. I ask for your understanding, fellow Daoists."

The Demon General's body stiffened, and his voice was hoarse. "I am stationed here by the command of Earth Count..."

*Rumble—*

Qin Mu suddenly erupted, instantly unleashing a martial divine art, 'Thousand Palms Returning from the Heavenly Peaks'. Immediately, mountain-like palms, fists, seals, and fingers appeared in all directions. Violent power poured forth, shattering the sky and earth, and a massive abyss appeared directly!

The Demon General looked at the abyss in front of the camp, his eye twitching violently. The size of the abyss was precisely the same as the divine demon camp!

In other words, if Qin Mu's move had landed on them, it would have instantly turned all these soldiers to dust and ashes!

"Divine Son, please—" the Demon General said, cupping his hands.

Qin Mu took two steps, then stopped. Cold sweat streamed down the Demon General's forehead. Qin Mu said, "I don't know the way. I trouble you to show me the way."

The Demon General gritted his teeth, flew out of the camp, and said in a deep voice, "I will personally lead the way for the Divine Son!"

Qin Mu thanked him.

The Demon General, steeling himself, led the way. He felt a pair of eyes constantly staring at his neck from behind. He secretly looked back and saw the chubby baby head staring at him, drooling.

"So plump and tender, hehe... Good little brother, let me have a lick, I won't eat it, just let me taste..."

Throughout Youdu, innumerable ancient heavenly palaces shook as incredibly powerful beings awoke one after another.

"The Youdu Divine Son, he's back again?"

"Back then, Earth Count made the decision to spare him, and only banished him, allowing him to live. And he dares to return?"

"Earth Count will have nothing to say this time, right? Let's go to Jade Lock Pass and take our revenge!"

From within Earth Count's domain in Youdu, streaks of light flowed, carrying overwhelming auras towards Jade Lock Pass. The entire Youdu seemed to come to a boil at that moment.

Within Earth Count's Eye, the old Emissary of the Underworld looked at the commotion below, sensing the ancient auras. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and said, "Earth Count, should we intervene now? I'm worried Heavenly Venerable Mu won't be able to stop them."

"He is another Earth Count," Earth Count's voice came from inside the palace. "An Earth Count unbound by any restraints. How could he not be able to stop them?"

The old Emissary of the Underworld's heart trembled slightly.
