Chapter 632: The demons join the war

Above Gansong City, Li Qi pulled Liu Junyi through the Karma threads.

But at that moment, he saw Li Shiwei.

To be honest, Li Qi thought he must have been seeing things.

After all, a dazed mind didn't just affect Liu Junyi.

Li Qi was using himself as a foundation to leverage the other party's existence, which would also affect Li Qi, as the influence between Karma is mutual, but Li Qi obviously had stronger resistance.

To injure the enemy by a thousand while losing nine hundred oneself was still a gain.

But this daze made Li Qi seem to faintly experience hallucinations...

Li Shiwei had been sent by him to the Buddhist Kingdom before the war began.

His daughter should be very safe in the Buddhist Kingdom, and it was unlikely she would come here, after all, Li Qi had also asked someone to look after her, and she had many things to do in the Buddhist Kingdom, so she should have been very busy for the past ten-odd years.

Anyway, no matter what, in the war zone, with the Star-Mansion Array already dormant, Li Shiwei, who was only a Seventh-Grade, could not possibly have come to this battlefield.

Li Qi still wanted to confirm, but unfortunately, at this moment, Liu Junyi also began to respond; he started to stare intently at Li Qi, trying to learn and break this interference, his mind having already detached from his Spirit Soul and Physical Body, transferring into a Spiritual Artifact.

First, deal with Liu Junyi.

A gentleman makes good use of external things; he was very skilled at using Spiritual Artifacts, it was just that Li Qi hadn't given him the chance before.

Now, Li Qi had actively withdrawn the Star Officials and transformed them into an Inner World for Seal and suppression, which gave him a chance to resist.

The Dragon Vein erupted again, and the front line went dark for an instant once more.

Another pile of casualties.

But Liu Junyi also seized this opportunity to directly abandon his Physical Body and Spirit Soul, letting Li Qi suppress them.

His mind had already transferred out, and the jade pendant he carried flew into the sky.

As for his body... Li Qi could kill it if he wanted.

As the jade pendant flew out, Li Qi tried to block it, but the jade pendant was exceptionally agile, and coupled with a strange suction force, it directly embedded itself into Gansong City.

Liu Junyi, with his own mind, merged into Gansong City, becoming the brain of Gansong City.

From the Gansong Armory, a large number of Spiritual Artifacts surged out, all powered by the Dragon Vein, charging towards Li Qi!

Li Qi frowned.

Troublesome.

Liu Junyi was even more formidable than he had imagined.

He definitely couldn't be defeated in a single day.

Was he really going to have to withdraw?

He was a bit unwilling.

But if he was truly delayed for a day, the casualties would be extremely severe, and Li Qi himself might even be surrounded and killed.

Thinking this, Li Qi increased his power, completely suppressing Liu Junyi's Physical Body and Spirit Soul with his Inner World!

Liu Junyi used his own Physical Body to restrict Li Qi's Inner World.

But it was useless; this was already an empty shell. By using the jade pendant he carried, he had already transferred his Inner World and mind away. After surviving this, it would only take a thousand years or so to reconstruct.

There would certainly be an impact on his Dao path, but compared to victory, this small price was completely acceptable.

Just as Li Qi was conflicted, suddenly—

“Ugh ah!!!”

The armory of Gansong City stopped, Liu Junyi's offensive halted, and Li Qi could even hear his wails!

Liu Junyi hadn't cried out even when he was beaten so badly, so why was he wailing now?

It was a sound close to collapse.

But immediately, Li Qi understood.

Because he saw it, his True Knowledge Dao Resonance saw a massive stream of information.

These information streams appeared from the Void Realm, truly appearing out of thin air, then surged into Liu Junyi's body.

What's going on?

The next moment, Li Qi noticed that the Dragon Vein's energy was still there, but... it was overloaded and out of control.

How could the Dragon Vein be overloaded and out of control?

This thing was controlled by The Axis of All Realms; The Axis of All Realms's computing power was basically infinite, and there were never any errors, at least Li Qi had never read of any cases.

The only possibility was that The Axis of All Realms's base station had been destroyed by someone.

If that were true, it would mean that the Tang Nation's war zone had completely failed.

Having lost The Axis of All Realms, all command Systems collapsed, plus Liu Junyi's recent wail came from a massive information flow...

Li Qi was very familiar with this feeling, the feeling of information flowing into the brain. He understood it too well. Liu Junyi had no The Axis of All Realms to help him process it, so he took it all directly!

Without The Axis of All Realms to help sort it out, relying solely on oneself to endure endless information would destroy a cultivator's mind in an instant.

It's just, who could destroy The Axis of All Realms's base station?

This would require someone to sneak in right under his and Liu Junyi's noses. Does a Fifth-Grade really have that ability?

If it were a Fourth-Grade, that would be absolutely impossible; a Fourth-Grade would not appear on this battlefield.

Then...

Li Qi's mind flashed back to the Li Shiwei who had suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

He didn't bother with Liu Junyi; there was no need. Liu Junyi was unlikely to awaken after The Axis of All Realms collapsed. In the war zone, with such a massive information flow, Li Qi himself had to rely on the world group Formation to share the burden, let alone Liu Junyi.

It was definitely brain-burning.

Then, first destroy Gansong!

Li Qi immediately retracted his Inner World, then went on a rampage, destroying Dragon Vein pipelines, and flying towards the location of The Axis of All Realms's base station!

The base station was very conspicuous, considered a landmark building, but it was extremely sturdy, making it difficult for even a Fifth-Grade to destroy.

Li Qi quickly swept past the base station and, looking closely, found that there was indeed someone below waving at him.

It was... Li Shiwei.

The young girl waved her hands vigorously, jumping, as if trying to take credit from Li Qi.

She had some wounds on her body and was panting from exhaustion, but she looked very happy.

Despite being only a Seventh-Grade, she had truly managed to hide from Liu Junyi, infiltrated this place, and accomplished an astonishing feat, single-handedly securing Li Qi's victory.

However, Li Qi wasn't happy at all.

His heart sank instantly, and he directly descended, crashing heavily to the ground: “You... how are you here!?”

His heart was filled with worry and rage.

Who, who dragged Li Shiwei into this?

There must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes!

Although Li Shiwei's arrival made Li Qi grit his teeth, when he landed on the ground and saw Li Shiwei rush up and hug him, Li Qi's expression immediately softened.

What else could he do? After all, she was his own flesh and blood.

Li Qi's mind again conjured up Li Shiwei's appearance when she was little, which made him deflate, sighing deeply, and reaching out to stroke Li Shiwei's head, asking sternly: “How did you get here? This place is very dangerous.”

However, Li Shiwei did not answer the question, but instead looked up and asked hopefully, “Father, did I help you?”

Li Qi was speechless.

She certainly did help.

It’s just... if he really said that, would she continue to act recklessly in the future?

So Li Qi didn't reply, but instead said, “First, tell me how you got here.”

Li Qi used a commanding tone, making the Little rabbit immediately realize that her father was serious.

“It was him, Uncle Mo.” She pointed behind Li Qi.

At the place her finger pointed, Li Qi looked back.

Then, he saw a familiar mask, a black tiger jade pendant, a long robe and cloak, plus a bamboo staff.

The Demonic Prince.

He was limping out of a pit in the ground.

That hole led directly to the underground of The Axis of All Realms's base station, meaning the damage to the base station was done by the Demonic Prince.

Li Qi's pupils contracted.

He saw the Demonic Prince.

But he also didn't see him.

To see, meant his eyes had indeed captured the Demonic Prince's figure.

But his other senses, such as his True Knowledge Dao Resonance, and various detection spells, failed to detect the Demonic Prince.

He seemed to be there, but the True Knowledge Dao Resonance couldn't see him at all.

It was as if... Li Qi was scanning Zhu Fengdan with his True Knowledge Dao Resonance.

“We meet again, Brother Li, how do you like this gift?” the Demonic Prince asked in a gentle, cheerful voice.

“You went to the Buddhist Kingdom?” Li Qi's expression was not good.

“Yes, I made a trip to the Buddhist Kingdom. The Buddha Son Sariputra has already undergone Reincarnation. I hope he'll be stronger in his next life,” the Demonic Prince said lightly.

Li Qi took a deep breath.

It really was... the Demonic Prince's style.

“A Buddha Son, undergoing Reincarnation a few times is nothing. The true spirit is immortal, memories are not lost, it’s merely a matter of starting over with cultivation, a small matter,” Li Qi replied.

“Yes, I can’t offend them too much. Those Bodhisattvas already don’t like me. If I went too far, I might not be able to leave,” the Demonic Prince chuckled, “It’s just that when I left, I accidentally ran into Shi Wei, my little niece, who was there to observe the ceremony.”

“She came to observe the ceremony... to study?” Li Qi asked.

At this moment, Li Shiwei seemed to want to say something, but Li Qi waved his hand, and the Little rabbit immediately lost her ability to speak, unable to interrupt. At the same time, her five senses were also obscured by Li Qi, making her directly lose the ability to perceive the outside world.

When adults speak, children should speak less.

The Demonic Prince, however, answered frankly: “You could say that. However, observing the ceremony was secondary. My niece primarily came to find me, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known she was my niece, would I?”

Li Qi scrutinized the Demonic Prince.

Still as... gentle as ever?

It should be considered gentle.

The Demonic Prince's Dao Resonance was the Earth Mother Dao Resonance, which compensated for his inherent deficiencies. The Demonic Prince was missing a leg and an eye and had no Yin Qi in his body, requiring the Earth Mother Dao Resonance for balance. This might have influenced a part of his personality.

Therefore, under his absolutely Yang-dominant Physique, the Demonic Prince's temperament, in normal circumstances, was actually rather effeminate, and his appearance was also like that.

However, since he was from the Demonic Dao, he wouldn't be truly normal, which is why Li Qi remained vigilant.

“Just because of her identity, she came to find you, and you helped her?” Li Qi asked in a low voice.

“Yes, after all, she's my little niece. She ran all this way to ask for my help, so it's just a small effort, why not?” the Demonic Prince replied calmly, without any hint of tension.

“A small effort? Do you know that this is the frontline war zone? The outcome of this battlefield will directly affect the initiative in the Human-Shaman War. Is this also considered a small effort? Just for you to enter the war zone, at least a Second-Grade must intervene.” Li Qi stared intently at the Demonic Prince, even if he couldn't see his expression, he could sense it from his voice.

“Second-Grade intervention? You're wrong. It was the Heavenly Demon who personally made a move, because the Demonic Dao has joined the war.” The Demonic Prince's voice was very relaxed.

Li Qi gasped.

The Demonic Dao has joined the war?

The Heavenly Demon personally intervened, allowing the Demonic Prince to interfere with the vanguard war.

In other words...

Li Qi glanced at his daughter.

Li Shiwei had also entered the Heavenly Demon's sight.

Li Qi took three steps in two, walking up to the Demonic Prince.

He was slightly taller than the Demonic Prince, as the Demonic Prince was missing a leg, so Li Qi looked down at the Demonic Prince and said seriously, “What does the Demonic Dao want to do...”

“My little niece asked me for help; she wanted to help you, so I agreed. Then I told the Heavenly Demon about it, and he also really wanted to help you, so the Demonic Dao joined the war,” the Demonic Prince said.

Yes, it was that childish, that reckless.

But, it was full of the Demonic Dao's style; the Demonic Dao should be like this, they are like this.

But these words could not put Li Qi at ease.

“What exactly does the Demonic Dao want to do? My daughter grew up in this world, without any peculiarities. If the Heavenly Demon wanted to find someone, he should find me. Finding her would be useless except to infuriate me.” Li Qi grabbed the Demonic Prince's collar.

He couldn't see the Demonic Prince's expression, because the Demonic Prince's entire face was hidden beneath that thick, plain mask.

However, the Demonic Prince's voice also became serious: “Let go.”

“The Demonic Dao must not lay a hand on my daughter.” Li Qi's gaze gradually turned terrifying.

The Demonic Prince, in turn, reached out, grabbed Li Qi's hand, and replied, “Do you want to fight me here? It will scare her, and... you cannot defeat me.”

As he spoke, the Demonic Prince's body emerged from that 'vague' sensation, reappearing within the perception of True Knowledge Dao Resonance.

It was then that Li Qi realized that in the four hundred years that had passed, the Demonic Prince had also reached Fifth-Grade.

And, as always... ridiculously strong.

Liu Junyi was definitely no match for him, no wonder neither he nor Liu Junyi had noticed the Demonic Prince.

And the Demonic Prince didn't care about these things; he merely displayed his power.

Clearly, the Demonic Prince could not accept Li Qi's impoliteness.

The two stood in confrontation for a few seconds.

Finally, Li Qi chose to let go.

There was no other way; if he really started fighting the Demonic Prince, the direction of events would be unpredictable.

After Li Qi released him, the Demonic Prince reached up to straighten his collar, his tone returning to calm: “I know you’re worried, but you should believe me, I don’t lie.”

The Demonic Prince frankly said to Li Qi, “The Heavenly Demon wants to participate in the war, I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I came here truly just to help my little niece, and she performed very well, you see... your five senses obscuring spell is about to break.”

The Demonic Prince said, pointing at Li Shiwei.

Li Qi immediately turned his head.

He saw that strange Magic was constantly surging from Li Shiwei's body.

Li Qi's method of controlling the five senses came from his past experience; back then, he was interfered with by the Five Aggregates Demonic Blood, and after breaking free, he also learned this trick.

But...

Li Shiwei was trying to break free. In such a short time, she had actually learned how to control the five aggregates!

It looked like it wouldn't be long before she could escape!

“Very much like you, isn't it? Your own flesh and blood,” the Demonic Prince said, “Alright, this place is not suitable for a long stay. Let's talk in the Shaman Dao heartland. The vanguard war is over, but the Human-Shaman War... has just begun.”

Just as the Demonic Prince finished speaking, Li Qi suddenly felt a message from the 'Alliance'.

It wasn't from Zhu Fengdan, but from someone even higher.

At the same time, Li Qi and the Demonic Prince both looked up.

The Universe—shattered, and an indescribable, aurora-like phenomenon emanated from the horizon.

That was... the fall of a Great Power!?
