Scripture of Days Past

All the fiends present were astonished by this perplexing turn of events.

How had a second, golden Chu Qiguang emerged from the body of the first one?

The Chaotic Heavens King and the Supreme Elder were also deeply unsettled. They instinctively retreated and observed Chu Qiguang from a safe distance, their expressions wary.

"What the hell are you?!" the Chaotic Heavens King yelled in bewilderment.

"The three of you are very strong!" Chu Qiguang praised with a smile. "You've impressed me. Are you willing to serve me? Think carefully before you answer because you'll only get one chance."

As Chu Qiguang spoke, a sense of agitation and intense discomfort began to arise within him. He knew that his condition was being triggered by the large number of fiends present.

The Supreme Elder's fur bristled like steel needles as he yelled, "He's just bluffing! He's not a Dao Comprehension-state cultivator. There's no way he can take on all of us at once!"

The Yaksha Wraith tore off his broken wing, stuffed it into his mouth, and began munching on it with murderous rage in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, no fifth-state martial artist, no matter how powerful, could survive against so many opponents at once. Unfortunately for Chu Qiguang's adversaries, this was precisely the type of situation he thrived in.

The three fiend kings pounced on Chu Qiguang once again, and in response, he whipped out his Undying Seal.

The three fiend kings felt as if they were attacking a massive vortex capable of absorbing and redirecting the force of all of their attacks.

As the battle wore on, Chu Qiguang remained completely unscathed, while the three fiend kings all suffered injuries from their own attacks.

"He's using some type of force-redirection technique to turn our attacks against us!"

The three fiend kings exchanged glances, knowing that they had to change their strategy.

However, before they had a chance to do anything, Chu Qiguang suddenly asked, "What kind of books do you like?"

At the same time, a burst of strange force surged out of Chu Qiguang's body, instantly encompassing everything within a fifty-meter radius.

As soon as this strange force swept over the Chaotic Heavens King, he felt a burst of unbearable pain in his head, as if someone had reached into his skull and was forcibly stuffing something into his brain.

He let out an agonized howl and turned to his companions for help, only to discover that all the lesser demons around him were undergoing terrifying mutations.

All manner of gruesome appendages were growing from different parts of their bodies. Before long, even the Supreme Elder had succumbed to the disturbing phenomenon, collapsing to the ground in agony as his body swelled and squirmed grotesquely.

The Yaksha Wraith wasn't faring any better. A series of strange eyeballs had begun growing out of his mouth, which was stretched wide open in a silent scream.

"I... I surrender..." the Chaotic Heavens King yelled frantically as he fell to his knees.

"I told you before. You only get one chance, and you chose to squander it."

In the next instant, greenish-yellow slime began oozing out of the Chaotic Heavens King's entire body. Under the effects of the demonic tainting, his consciousness gradually began to fade.

At the same time, he could feel something or someone else seizing control of his body. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the demonified Yaksha Wraith had already knelt before Chu Qiguang.

By combining the Ring of Ignorance with the Demon Refinement Technique, Chu Qiguang had demonified around a third of the fiends within a fifty-meter radius before seizing control of their bodies. All the fiends outside that radius could only look on in shock and horror.

Zhang Jitian was also watching from over a hundred meters away, and he was just as astonished.

Chu Qiguang can create demonic tainting?! And he can control demons?! Just how many secrets is he hiding? Surely this ability alone is enough to topple an entire nation!

However, Chu Qiguang was still not satisfied.

The symptoms of his condition had already subsided, and he thought, The Ring of Ignorance's effective radius is too small, and it also takes effect a little too slowly. In addition, it doesn't seem to work on Dao Comprehension-state cultivators like Layman Evergreen. I guess it can only be used to deal with small fry.

Also, the Demon Refinement Technique can only control demons with qi and blood circulating through their bodies. However, some demons no longer have qi and blood circulation after undergoing demonification, so Demon Refinement Technique only has a success rate of around twenty to thirty percent. It'll suffice in situations like this, but I still have to focus on reaching the Dao Comprehension state as soon as possible.

With the three fiend kings under Chu Qiguang's control, all the other fiends were either swiftly killed or forced to surrender.

Lei Yushu picked up a rock, then rushed over to the tiger fiend that Chu Qiguang had severely wounded. She viscously brought it down upon the tiger fiend's head over and over again until it was completely pulverized.

"That's enough, isn't it?" Zhang Jitian asked in disgust.

With the tiger fiend well and truly dead, Lei Yushu wiped the blood from her face, then said coldly, "These fiends are clearly very well-trained, so they must've eaten countless people and destroyed countless villages."

"How do you know that?" Zhang Jitian asked, clearly unconvinced.

Lei Yushu didn't bother arguing with him. Instead, she flicked open the bag strapped to the tiger fiend's waist, and dozens of human fingers instantly fell out.

"Fiends have voracious appetites, especially the more powerful ones, so they often carry snacks to make sure they don't go hungry," Lei Yushu explained.

Meanwhile, Chu Qiguang was making short work of the other fiends, sparing those who surrendered and killing those who resisted.

After slaying all the insubordinate fiends, he called the three remaining one-tentacle fiends over, then asked them why they had attacked his group.

After hearing their explanation, Chu Qiguang was rather bemused.

"The emperor gave me immortal pills that can drastically enhance one's cultivation base and extend one's lifespan? Who told you that?"

The fiends continued recounting the rumors they had heard, while Chu Qiguang listened with a thoughtful expression.
