…

Over a hundred years, Xu Yang had done many things, but they all served the same purpose.

Eradicating demons!

How to eradicate?

The demon head endures due to Boxun’s essence and Mara’s mighty support.

Mortal cultivators, when facing the overlord of the Desire Realm, are naturally helpless.

Only power and authority of equal standing and level can sever the demon head and eliminate the threat at its roots.

What power could match Boxun and rival Mara?

The Supreme Taoist Ancestor and Laojun, perhaps?

Initially, Xu Yang wasn’t sure either. After all, he was a person who had traveled through time from the future. Whether it was the Supreme Taoist Ancestor or the demon Mara Boxun, they were both too distant to him; with no contact and no understanding of their might, it was difficult for him to come to a conclusion.

But it didn’t matter if he didn’t know—he could verify through practice.

During the intersection of the two worlds a hundred years ago, the Wandao School had already begun researching demonic qi.

After a hundred years, countless experiments, and numerous attempts, they achieved significant results.

The Demon Transformation Spirit Talisman and Spirit Pills promoted by the White Jade Capital were a result of this research.

The Spirit Talisman and Spirit Pills were only secondary.

The key lay in the Demon-Breaking Scripture Skills.

Experiments showed that the Taoist True Scriptures could effectively restrain demonic qi, even completely eliminating it.

This was the experimental result—the power of the Supreme Taoist Skill wasn’t inferior to that of Boxun’s demonic abilities and might even surpass it.

Thus, Xu Yang handed down the Taoist scriptures and personally expounded them to assist the disciples of the White Jade Capital in their practice.

After a century, not only did he discover new understanding in old knowledge and advance further in his Taoist accomplishments, but he also developed targeted Skill Traits.

Like the Taoism Skill Trait “Demon-Exterminating and Guard of The Dao,” as well as the Teaching Skills “Maintain Integrity and Virtue” and “Preaching and Expounding Dharma.”

These Skill Traits could effectively enhance the “demon-eradicating” effect of the Taoist True Scriptures.

Hence, Xu Yang not only had a background but also external support!

Combining the two, what would the effect be?

“Ahhhh!!!”

The Blood Demon screamed, its face instantly contorting, the sea of blood around it dissipated, visions of Buddha and Bodhisattvas, wrathful King Kong and Arhats, monks, and nuns—all exploded into nothingness, turning into countless demon heads screaming in agony.

Xu Yang’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to preach, the resounding chants of the Taoist True Scriptures radiating purifying lights of lotus flowers, clouds of blessings illuminating the heavens, visions of Chaos Yuan being dissected, the creation of Yin and Yang, and the rotation of the Five Elements revealed their divine wonders.

This was the tangible manifestation of “The Dao”!

Merely Xu Yang himself, even while expounding the True Scriptures, wouldn’t have such wonderful skills.

However, regardless of when or where, the Attribute Panel and Skill Traits would always be a reliable support and aid for him.

With the enhancement from traits like “Demon-Exterminating and Guard of The Dao,” “Maintain Integrity and Virtue,” and “Preaching and Expounding Dharma,” the effect of Xu Yang’s proclamation of the Taoist True Scriptures dramatically enhanced, which allowed for such great Tao manifestations to appear.

Manifesting great Dao through preaching, such methods were nearly divine!

Given this, you can imagine the predicament of the Blood Demon.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Amidst the screams, all illusions shattered.

The Blood Demon’s body twisted, unable to remain seated, it toppled over, awkwardly collapsing into the void, its form distorted, twitching in agony, and gradually disintegrated into a crimson flow.

Faces emerged from within, both male and female, all different.

An old man with white hair and long eyebrows, a youth with a stern countenance, a flirtatious and enchanting woman, a youth with an evil smile…

Shadows burst forth from within the body, faces contorting in succession.

The Blood Demon’s expression was twisted, a picture of chaos and madness.

“Vast heavens above, why do you scorn me, why!?”

“So what if it’s heaven, I, Yuwen Shang, will defy fate!”

“Even if I descend into the Demon Path, I would not hesitate!”

“Master, no, please don’t…”

“Hahaha, in the heavens and earth, I alone am honored!”

“How could Snow God Mountain perish by my hands?”

“White Jade Capital, if this vengeance is not avenged, I, Zhang Shaobai, will have lived in vain!”

“Prajna and Mara, the honorable Boxun…”

Amidst the chaos, shadows vied to emerge, faces transforming incessantly.

Yuwen Shang, Sikong Ya, Yu Wuxin, and other nameless individuals struggled out from within the Blood Demon, screaming and roaring, trying to escape this body yet being dragged back by countless blood threads.

They cannot escape, nor merge back!

Self-contradicting, self-conflicting, the pain is excruciating.

To demon objects, isn’t the power of the Tao also a form of contamination by filth?

Yuan Spirit Cultivators faced with the erosion of filthy demonic qi run the risk of falling into the Demon Path.

And filthy demon objects, when faced with the purification of the Taoist True Scriptures, can also have their roots of achievements ruined.

Thus, the confusion of the Blood Demon, its unstable form, all the images of Yuwen Shang, Sikong Ya, Yu Wuxin, and others.

These individuals were part of the Blood Demon, its achievements, its foundation.

Now, with the foundation shaken and the achievements deteriorating, one can only imagine the Blood Demon’s predicament.

In agony and screams.

However, Xu Yang’s expression remained unchanged, and the Taoist True Scriptures continued resounding without pause.

Finally…

“Ahhhh!!!”

With one last scream, the Blood Demon’s form exploded.

The shadows and faces, and that rouge-robed, bewitching youth, all burst and collapsed into streams of blood.

The streams of blood boiled over, evaporating into nothing, leaving behind only a single scarlet blood lotus held in place by the purifying light within the void.

Blood lotus!

Demon Seed!

The fundamental essence of the Blood Demon, an incarnation of Boxun, an indestructible source.

Alas, it was but a part and not the main body; even its destruction could not eliminate the Blood Demon, at most causing it to lose a portion of its power.
