章節 154: Tao Demon (1)
"Finally! Finally!" a monster of a size of an entire continent roared with happiness after a small heart within her body started to beats. If one capable of seeing through skin and flesh, they will be surprised by the fact this queen carries her own heart with sixty-six smaller version beside her own.
Amongst the sixty-six hearts, more than half of them stopped beating. But today was a great day for her because one of her offsprings located in Lowest Realm has reappeared. Because the queen is connected with the child as she gave birth to them, unless they successfully cut off her part of the heart and the children, it will be impossible to kill them.
"Mother, did one of our brothers reborn into his fetus stage again?" one of the Thirty-two monsters resting by her side asked.
"Yes! Your youngest brother is reborn into the Lowest Realm again! All of you, stop getting lazy, the time for us to rescue your brother is here!" the queen stands and nudges the children to follow her. When all of them was awake, the emptiness of the area they're located turned into the deepest hell mortal can imagine.
"Devouring Realm, open!" the queen howls and opens a portal leading connecting her and the Lower Realm. When the energy uniting the entrance stabilize, thirty-two Tao Demon with the size of a kilometer height and weight between 100,000 tonnes to 150,000 tonnes took a leap.
In the next moment, the world in the Lower Realm turned into havoc.
The Devouring Queen Mother, Tao Tie, and her thirty-two children! If one of the Tao Demon is equal to turning a Sea Region into hell, then a pack of thirty-two Tao Demon and the Queen Mother Tao Tie equals the destruction of the entire Lower Realm!
"Devouring Queen Mother! Your abnormal diets end here! Anti-Tao Demon Squadron, attack!" one cultivator leads a team of around 500 to 600 men strong squadron to fight against the Tao Demon.
"Hahaha! I wonder whose child you are, but to say that you're the Anti-Tao Demon Squadron? I hope you can give my children a challenge because..." The Devouring Queen Mother speaks using human-tongue language.
"Captain! The monster can speak the human language!" a few soldiers is stunned by Taotie's ability to communicate with them without difficulties.
"Stupid! The Devouring Queen Mother is a million years old monster with sixty-six Tao Demon child! Of course, she can communicate using the human language!" the captain knocked his subordinate's head to wake him up from muttering nonsense.
"Children... Your meal is ready!" Taotie summoned her child. With her body acting as their footing to move around. In a flash moment, the fight between cultivator against monster started.

"What kind of monster is this?" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised by the four-legged creature with a [Tao] word on the top of its head. After calming himself, Zhang Wu Ji reaches to the monster to try pulling it out from the withered tree.
And when it was out from the tree, the activity from the monster gets stronger as it started to struggles inside his arms. It moves a little more before both eyes opened to take a look at the world it lived within.
"ROAR!" a gentle tune came out from the monster as it tried to make a sound. While Zhang Wu Ji did not notice, the reaction from Sheng and his Tamed Beast changed into something else and surrounded him.
"Hiss!"
"Moo!"
"Bzzz... Bzzz..."
"Ouuu!"
His tamed beast treated him with full aggression, with Sheng controlling the movement of the earth around him and transferred everything far from his reach!
"Sheng, what happened? Did this monster..." Zhang Wu Ji looks at her as he talked, but Sheng next action puzzled him. Her hand swung upward to control the earth and created a hill to stop him from leaving that spot.
"Sheng! What happened!!!" Zhang Wu Ji cannot control his emotion and raised his voice. But that voice turned into a form of Devouring Domain that not only exhaust the Natural Energy around him, it even destroyed the earth and turned them into ashes of emptiness, a soil that not worth a dime.
"What's wrong with me? This is!" Zhang Wu Ji took a mirror out from his Spatial Ring, and on his forehead, the word [Tao] has shifted from the monster to him! When he looks at the creature on his arms, Zhang Wu Ji is shocked by the shriveling corpse!
The Sun Devouring Fruit Tree, the Infant Creature, everything is gone! Only the word [Tao] remained in this world, positioned on his forehead!
Jade Lord in her form of a ball of light approached Sheng to whisper something to her before Sheng changed the word so Zhang Wu Ji can understand.
"Jade Lord said that master is infected by the Tao Demon and turned into its host. From what she knows... Nothing is capable of escaping from the Devouring Disaster, Tao Demon..." Sheng said.
"What? Tao Demon? What is that?" Zhang Wu Ji's blankness came out once more in front of all his subordinates. But at the same time, a knock came from the outside, a sign that someone else with the same Mark of Sheng requesting for entry.
"Zhan Yu is back from outside with Xuanzhi," Sheng replied and allowed their access. Then, a tower of light brings the two into the realm.
"Master," Zhan Yu and Xuanzhi pay Zhang Wu Ji their respect and saw the [Tao] word on his forehead. With both of the spirits are an Inner Qi Lord before death, their rich experience immediately notices the fault on their master.
"Sheng, what happened to our master during the time we're not here?" Xuanzhi throws a few pieces of engraved talisman surrounding Zhang Wu Ji, while Zhan Yu asked for an update from Sheng about what's happening.
After they got briefed with the incident happened on their master, Xuanzhi immediately activated a series of Formation Array to stop the condition from worsening. While the external symptom can be controlled, the inner is not.
Zhang Wu Ji is expected to suffer from emotional backlash from time to time, depending on the hunger of the parasite using his body as the host. But in exchange for this misfortune, his cultivation now followed a different path compared to before.
His cultivation now is somewhat similar to how the Tao Demon strengthens itself. Through an uncontrollable diet of devouring everything with Natural Energy. And to try the differences, Zhang Wu Ji chose a forest to test his ability.
"Devouring Domain!" Zhang Wu Ji's intent allowed a circle of darkness spreads a kilometer away from his spot and in a blink of an eye, the entire one-kilometer diameter from him turned into a ring of emptiness. Similar to when it happened in his System Realm, the land turned into a sea of useless white powder.
As for his cultivation, he's two strands of Soldier Qi stronger.
"This... What a cursed way of increasing my strength..." Zhang Wu Ji cannot feel happy about such a convenient ability. Although the increment of his energy exceeds his expectation, Zhang Wu Ji felt such a method of cultivation is immoral and despicable.
"Master, Jade Lord and I have a suggestion." she initiates a conversation with Zhang Wu Ji in attempt to make him feel better.
"Go ahead and speak..." Zhang Wu Ji lost his interest in listening to anything that tried to bring him some positivity because no matter what they say, this ability has become a part of him and either he wants it or not, it will be there to protect this host from dying.
"Jade Lord says that to prevent the destruction from surpassing the limit of saving, how about master try to meditate more using the Baixue Jade Mat? Your Jadeskin Inheritance Body also allows you to stop such a condition from worsening." Sheng explained.
"That's correct! Won't I purify the destructive force instead of feeling burdened by it?" Zhang Wu Ji understood what Sheng and Jade Lord tried to tell him.
Like obtaining enlightenment, Zhang Wu Ji mind no longer muddled by the stress. He leads his troops a week later to executes their attack to subjugate as many parts of the Golden Husk City from the Upper South Merchant Corporation.
They say the war helps one to reach his maturity earlier, and this sentence is right on the point because taking the position of the Leading Vanguards, Zhang Wu Ji leads his people to strike at his opponent forces without leaving them to mature on their own.
"Left, Right and Middle Battalion, follow my lead and attack! We will destroy their City Wall on our first push!" Zhang Wu Ji ordered. With six thousand foot soldiers on position, Zhang Wu Ji took the initiative to attack with a set of Celestial Bombing Quiver that destroyed one of their six Guard Towers.
"Attack!" Zhang Wu Ji's shout brings all his men charging to the City Wall. With Yuan-Tie Assault Cannon in their hand, every soldier is capable of firing three barrels of this one-time use weapon before resorted to hand to hand combat.
"Yargh!" six thousand Yuan-Tie Assault Cannon fired at the City Wall on their own will, while Zhang Wu Ji is about fifty meters away from the City Wall, ready to destroy them at the closest proximity.
Calmly, Zhang Wu Ji took a single shot Celestial Bombing Quiver out to deliver a shot, but the City Wall's guards weren't that useless as he thought. They reposition their archers to fire at where he's trying to take an aim.
"Are you sure you aimed at the correct target?" Zhang Wu Ji smirks.
"Piu!" an arrow struck one of the archer's head before the archer pulled the bowstring. The attack did not stop there. The archer dies one after another, forcing the guards to stop trying too hard in killing a lone soldier.
"They didn't answer me... Sad," Zhang Wu Ji said and fired his single shot Celestial Bombing Quiver. Once it explodes, two third of the section turned into rubbles allowing the enemies to enter their Golden Husk City.
Luckily, the guards weren't some militiamen but trained soldiers. They quickly cover the gap with plenty of soldiers. As the entrance required the soldiers from Zhang Wu Ji's side to climb uphill, the exhaustion from the climbing may affect the number of casualties.
"Let me do it!"
"Iron Rhinoceros Martial Body!" one soldier reach the top. With a scream of pain as he activates his bloodline, the soldier soon turned into a charging fortress that crushes the bones of his opponent in that single charge.
The defense soon crumbles as more soldiers successfully cross their defensive line. Because they're all trained harshly to remember their focus, the five thousand five hundred remaining soldiers made their way into the city and left the matter to the Thousand Star Battalion.
As Zhang Wu Ji's elites of his soldiers, the Thousand Star Battalion separates into five teams of two hundred people each and attack the five remaining Guard Towers.
The attack greatly exhausts their enemies supply with more soldiers entering the City from that shattered section of a wall. After claiming the land and more soldiers went deeper into the Golden Husk City, Zhang Wu Ji was left alone here in their entrance.
He then checked his surroundings for any survivor or fellow soldiers. After it was confirmed that nobody else remains in this location, Zhang Wu Ji smiled like a greedy devil while opening the Devouring Domain!
"HONG!" the ability that once causes havoc in this Lowest Realm finally came out properly again.

"Curses! Liang Tian, how can you appear here out of sudden! The Jie Clan and Upper South Merchant Corporation should cause disturbance to your soldiers while we attack from behind!" in total, there are twenty more members from this vanguard team capable of scouting is all stopped before they successfully enter the Seven Star County's border.
"I'll have to praise that brat when we get back." Liang Tian cannot believe his eyes about the sneak attack from members of the Upper Counties.
