Chapter 578: The Absolute Domain Cauldron

The sect’s battles always followed the principle of confronting soldiers with soldiers and generals with generals. Regardless of which side had more troops or stronger leaders, the one that exceeded in either would likely see the other side defeated nine times out of ten. The balance of victory and defeat tilted not only on strategies but primarily on absolute strength.

Indeed, Li Hui had brought many strong allies, but after many years of existence, the Hongmo Sect was well aware that the Heavenly Talisman Sect was advancing and had made arrangements beforehand. Surely they wouldn’t remain idle, would they?

In fact, the Hongmo Sect not only prepared but brought forth many experts, especially four ancestors in the Profound Law Stage. However, as soon as they stepped onto the battlefield, the situation suddenly changed.

A terrifying wave of blood rolled violently, and a fierce energy surged, freezing the four ancestors momentarily with the divine eye. In that brief moment, by the time they reacted, they had already fallen into an overwhelming abyss.

“This is not an abyss,” one of the talented ancestors declared. “We are inside the body of an ancient corpse.” His insights enabled him to quickly assess their surroundings.

“Attack! Break the walls and escape!” The four unleashed their powers, hoping to burst free, but talismans flickered all around, making it unlikely that they would succeed in the next two hours.

The Di Jiang Corpse strode toward a crack in the sea, leading them to the Hongmo Sect’s most fearsome torture zone, a realm of four penalties and eight methods.

Deep within the locked domain, a figure lifted its head and grinned, “Hehe, good kid, how many years has it been, and you’ve gained enough power to stir up waves?”

Suddenly, a voice echoed around, “Hehe, Hongmo Zheng, you’ve practiced my boundless demonic skills but still can’t break free from worldly barriers?”

“Barriers? You see every bond of kinship as a barrier, asking me to forget that I served you. Do you truly believe I’m practicing boundless demonic skills? I’m merely taking their essence to lessen the pain of the punishment here.”

“Outrageous! You ungrateful dirt that can’t stick to a wall! The demon skills I taught you pointed directly to the True Demon Path, yet you’ve discarded the most vital parts.”

“Blood Moni, stop the nonsense!” Hongmo Zheng straightened his back and said, “Shang Feiran has trapped you in this absolute domain, which for me is just another form of punishment outside the four penalties and eight methods. Today, my brothers are marching against the Hongmo Sect; no need to put on a façade of kindness before me! Use all your tricks; don’t be a coward.”

“Hahaha.” The blood-colored figure landed, and white hair spread out, revealing a graceful form. It sneered coldly, “Most men are devoid of feelings, so I shall help you sever your ties, leaving only the demonic intent to comprehend the True Demon Path. Isn’t that good?”

“You’re a woman?” Hongmo Zheng was taken aback. After being trapped in this absolute domain with this being for so long, it was his first time seeing the true form of the demoness.

“Ah! What a strange logic! And what of being a woman? This Demon Lord is formless, my body materializes at will.” The demoness smiled softly, fully exposing her form to Hongmo Zheng, every pose dripping with temptation.

“Underestimating me won’t do you any good; the Heavenly Demon’s Illusions are ineffective against me.” Hongmo Zheng yelled, and blood-colored ripples erupted around him. However, suddenly, a blood palm imprint emerged on his brow, shaking his entire body.

“Tsk, tsk, so arrogant! This is not the Heavenly Demon’s Illusions; that low-level trick is something I discarded long ago. Little dear, haven’t you felt a bit uncomfortable with your brow ever since you’ve been close to me?”

“Uncomfortable?” Hongmo Zheng’s expression turned serious. Blood Moni had secretly meddled with him without him realizing it.

“Giggle, look at that dead expression! Don’t make me worry!” The demoness panted, “Come, let’s merge into one and never part! Let’s reach the peak of passion together. I love you so much; you are my heart!”

“Cough, cough, when did you turn me into a cauldron?” Hongmo Zheng finally pieced it all together. Blood Moni had never intended to share hardships, not even when resisting the Demonic Tribulations together in this absolute domain.

“You little brat say such unpleasant things! What cauldron? I am only taking you as my disciple, borrowing each other’s strengths to create an unrivaled demon lord. I’ve previously merged with demon cultivators, but it didn’t amount to much. Finding a true demon body is a chance I won’t miss,” Blood Moni explained while a booming power broke through layers of restraint, striking toward the heart of the absolute domain.

“Ouch!” The demoness smiled seductively, “Your brother is so eager! Is this the reward for good deeds? Back in the Earth Axis Hall, you stopped me from achieving my goals and let that little demon escape. Who would have thought that escaping the Hongmo Sect’s pursuit would lead to something great? Tsk, truly remarkable! I didn’t even have the courage to attack Hongmo, just making some noise. How many years have passed? This kid shines like the sun! Once I disguise as you and share time by his side, there will be an opportunity to slip in and make us all one.”

“Even if it means Together in ruin, I will not let you succeed.” Hongmo Zheng fell backward, his body booming as he unleashed his demonic skills with fierce methods. He wouldn’t let his brothers down!

“Gargling, how naïve! I knew you would react this way! So, hee hee, therefore…” The demoness suddenly transformed into countless skulls, ensnaring Hongmo Zheng within. Soon, sounds of gnawing echoed as the mystical domain resonated with eerie voices, “Being with me, I can finally fix what’s missing! Such pure True Demon Intent! You have no idea how desperate I’ve been to see you sitting in front of me every day! Gaining you two or three years early may leave some side effects, but the arrow is on the bow, so it must be shot.”

“Ooooo, ooooo…” A chilling wind swept through as Hongmo Zheng appeared, a vast vortex forming behind him, absorbing all the profound demonic energy within the absolute domain. His pupils vanished, leaving only an unfathomable blackness.

“Boom!” The Di Jiang Corpse forcibly invaded the absolute domain, with the four demon path ancestors expending significant effort within; otherwise, they would have spent a lot more time breaching the barriers.

The absolute domain was a mysterious location, deeply steeped in demonic nature since ancient times. Even demon cultivators were reluctant to enter, fearing they would face severe demonic transformation and lose themselves.

Hongmo Zheng managed to hold on until today, relying entirely on the cultivation methods taught by Blood Moni. However, with Blood Moni’s malicious intentions, using the environment of the absolute domain to cultivate him as a cauldron, now that she sought to harvest early, even if the fruits were unripe and bitter, in a matter of necessity, he had no choice.

“Good brother, you’ve finally come,” Hongmo Zheng smirked, looking at the Di Jiang Corpse. However, in the next moment, he was taken aback, feeling something was wrong.

Dark talisman light surged and enveloped Hongmo Zheng. The Di Jiang Corpse pressed a golden talisman to its forehead, then clapped forcefully on its body; each slap sparked talisman light, suddenly looking up.

A tremendous fortune poured into the absolute domain. When Du Miaochan read fortunes, Li Hui warned that the heavenly secrets must not be leaked. This secret resided within the absolute domain. Hongmo Zheng, becoming Blood Moni’s cauldron, could lead to Blood Moni wanting to devour Old Li in the future. They had to break through this barrier and help Hongmo Zheng turn the situation around.

“Who is it?” The four ancestors in the Profound Law Stage took a defensive stance.

“Hehe, Hongmo Zheng, do you see? Li Hui has imprisoned us within the talisman corpse to make you and me clash with these four old ghosts. What a brilliant plan!”

“This is bad! He is Blood Moni, who obtained the boundless demonic sect’s heritage. We must eliminate him, or we won’t survive!” the four ancestors lunged into action…
