157: Chapter 157 Inner Demons Chaos the Immortal

Are we going to cause trouble for the Demon Immortal Clan already?

The Four Great Fierce Beasts were surprised by Lu Hu's efficiency, and of course, they were curious about his wicked ideas.

"What method? Hurry up and tell us."

"Whatever plan you have, feel free to speak plainly."

"Simple. You go out and cause a ruckus to buy me some time."

Lu Hu raised his hand, and the Great Dao of the Demonic Heart manifested. "Besides the Art of Avatar, I specialize in a Great Dao called the Demonic Heart, which can breed inner demons."

"What a clever trick!"

The eyes of the Four Great Fierce Beasts lit up. Their nature was to find joy in destruction, and they were experts in sinister tactics.

Once Lu Hu explained the effects of the Great Dao of the Demonic Heart, they immediately thought of several methods.

Qiong Qi immediately suggested,

"No time to lose. Let's find a progenitor to test it on. How about Samsara? He just resurrected and is still in a weakened state."

"Progenitors are hard to kill; that's boring."

Lu Hu shook his head. He looked at the Primordial Origin of the Immortal Realm at the bottom of the hall. The seven-colored radiance illuminated the entire hall like a dream, and that vast original power made Lu Hu more and more covetous as he watched.

"The heart of the world should be able to transmit my power to any corner of the Immortal Realm."

Lu Hu's tone was flat, but his words were chilling. "My target is the Demon Immortal Clan, excluding the progenitors."

"Ruthless enough, I like it." Qiong Qi flapped his pitch-black wings and laughed loudly.

"Brother, this method is exactly what I wanted. Staying in this Small Immortal Realm all day has made me restless. I'll go find a progenitor to play with right now."

"We're going too."

The other three beasts chimed in. To them, a task where they could provoke and cause chaos without worrying about life or death was practically tailor-made.

They would definitely have a good time.

"Since no one has any objections, we shall proceed as planned." The Great Dao of the Demonic Heart around Lu Hu instantly surged to its limit.

"Next, I will use the connection of the heart of the world to quietly spread the power of the Great Dao of the Demonic Heart throughout the entire Demon Immortal Realm."

"As for the Demon-Immortal Progenitors, the four of you will handle them."

...

...

Once the discussion was settled, the Four Great Fierce Beasts immediately set off.

The four culprits stealthily sneaked into a progenitor's forbidden zone.

"Stone Ancestor, we've known each other for so many years and I've never given you a gift. Today, I'll give you one!"

This Demon-Immortal Progenitor was named Shi Ling, and his true form was a strange stone.

As soon as the Four Great Fierce Beasts acted, a sky full of foul filth poured down, drenching the forbidden zone where Shi Ling was buried. The sleeping Progenitor Shi Ling was naturally soaked through.

"Four Great Fierce Beasts!!!"

Progenitor Shi Ling was furious. At the same time, waves of Eternal aura erupted as other progenitors of the Demon Immortal Clan woke up simultaneously, pressing toward this location.

"Hahaha... Treat yourself to a bath, don't mention it."

The Four Great Fierce Beasts laughed heartily, launched a few more attacks, and then retreated.

"Beasts!"

A hot-tempered Demon-Immortal Progenitor barked angrily.

They headed straight for the core territory of the Demon Immortal Realm. The auras of Eternal Realm experts collided in the void, causing space to continuously shatter.

...

Small Immortal Realm, Four Fierce Beasts Hall.

Lu Hu stood upon the heart of the world. The Great Dao of the Demonic Heart, like an invisible black mist, followed the connection between the heart of the world and the Demon Immortal Realm, silently spreading to every inch and corner of the Demon Immortal Realm.

"Done."

Lu Hu finished his work and, carrying a hoe, chose a patch of land in the Small Immortal Realm to farm.

The seeds had been sown; now he just had to wait for them to sprout.

...

The Great Dao of the Demonic Heart was a supreme Dao that aimed directly at the human heart and bred inner demons, making it the most difficult to guard against.

Three years had passed since the Four Great Fierce Beasts' ruckus.

The Demon Immortal Clan in the Demon Immortal Realm continued to cultivate and live as usual.

They were completely unaware that eerie changes had begun to occur silently.

First, it began with the low-level beings. Whenever they saw a sharp object, images of themselves throwing themselves onto it would surface in their minds. Standing at the edge of a cliff, they would constantly imagine the scene of themselves jumping off. When facing a powerful expert, despite feeling instinctive awe, they couldn't stop thinking about attacking them and being casually swatted to death. Hearing the sound of heavenly thunder, the tragic sight of their souls being scattered by the lightning would repeatedly flash before their eyes.

Under the influence of intrusive thoughts, images of their own deaths were constantly generated based on their surroundings.

And this phenomenon would become even more terrifying after cultivation.

Once they cultivated, the inner demons would strengthen accordingly. Various distracting thoughts would mysteriously surface in their minds, cracks would appear in their firm Dao hearts, cultivation speed would plummet, and the slightest carelessness would lead to qi deviation and damaged meridians.

Even more terrifyingly, the inner demons were like maggots on a bone, whispering in their ears at all times, tempting and urging them over and over to put the thoughts in their minds into action.

A momentary lapse in thought could still be suppressed with willpower, but this constant mental erosion brought countless beings of the Demon Immortal Clan to the brink of collapse.

Those with weak minds had already begun to commit suicidal acts under the guidance of their inner demons. Those with profound cultivation were also plagued by inner demons all day, their Dao hearts wavering, and their cultivation regressed instead of progressing.

Disputes erupted within the clan. The already hostile Demon Immortal Clan became even more manic and restless.

For the young of the Demon Immortal Clan, the situation was even more difficult.

Their minds were not yet mature, and they did not understand the meaning of death. Out of curiosity, they began to put the ideas in their heads into practice.

The daily death toll of the Demon Immortal Clan rose higher and higher. The once-prosperous Demon Immortal Realm was gradually shrouded in an atmosphere of despair and oppression.

In the Samsara Forbidden Land, Progenitor Samsara's Samsara Great Dao had always enveloped the entire Demon Immortal Clan. Among all the progenitors, he was the one who could most intuitively observe the state of the clan.

After all, the true spirits of the entire Demon Immortal Clan had left Dao imprints upon his Samsara Great Dao.

"Hmm? Another internal conflict?"

Progenitor Samsara opened his eyes.

In recent years, the population of the Demon Immortal Clan had been steadily decreasing.

This had happened many times before, mostly due to major clans within the Demon Immortal Clan fighting for profit and power.

However...

Progenitor Samsara frowned, his gaze sweeping over the various Demon Immortal groups.

He did not see any large-scale battles occurring.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his divine sense swept across the entire Demon Immortal Realm like a tide, carefully investigating every anomaly.

"Where is the problem?"

Progenitor Samsara murmured, then left the forbidden land and arrived at a major Demon Immortal Clan.

Half a day later, Progenitor Samsara left with a solemn expression and appeared at another major Demon Immortal Clan.

"Who is it?"

Progenitor Samsara's face was grim; he had discovered the reason for the continuous decline in the Demon Immortal Clan's population.

They were not falling due to civil war, but rather self-destructing. Inner demons were rampant. This method was sinister and difficult to detect.

Progenitor Samsara's figure flickered as he appeared in the Extermination Progenitor's forbidden land and informed him of the situation.

"I haven't discovered the opponent's methods, but the Dao hearts of the clan's beings are destroyed and inner demons are running wild. This is definitely no accident!"

"It must be the Four Great Fierce Beasts and that new remnant of the Immortal Dao from last time!!" Extermination Progenitor roared, his aura surging like a world-destroying flood. He wished he could turn the entire Demon Immortal Realm upside down right now to find the Four Great Fierce Beasts and skin them alive.

"Most likely."

Progenitor Samsara agreed with the Extermination Progenitor's view.

To be able to silently affect the entire Demon Immortal Realm, their strength must be comparable to the Eternal Realm. Combined with the previous frequent provocations by the Four Great Fierce Beasts, the phenomenon within the Demon Immortal Clan was likely the work of that new Eternal-level remnant of the Immortal Dao.
