Chapter 609: The Eternal Demon King

The celestial realm has its own formations, and so does the netherworld.

The formations of the celestial realm are vast and profound, embodying ultimate yang and immense power, with infinite subtleties.

The formations of the netherworld, however, are yin, soft, mysterious, and filled with sinister energy, possessing tremendous might.

Shui Miao’s destructive weapon was based on the mutual destruction of the five elemental energies of yin and yang, generating various types of devastating and evil energies.

Immediately, the Black and White Reapers summoned their magical treasures and jointly formed the Black and White Twin Demon Formation.

Shui Miao offered no resistance, relaxed his entire body, and allowed the formation to activate. Soon, he sensed waves of sinister yin energy spreading around him, enveloping his body and growing stronger. These evil yin energies infiltrated his body in various ways, causing hallucinations and threatening to make him lose himself entirely.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

Shui Miao had learned the art of formation crafting from Saint King Luotong in the Realm of Rakshasa. Luotong’s formations were primarily based on netherworld techniques, filled with all sorts of sinister yin energies. Therefore, Shui Miao was thoroughly familiar with netherworld treasures and could wield them effortlessly. After sensing the energies, Shui Miao realized these sinister yin energies were rather ordinary. Instantly, he activated his spiritual power, expelling the evil energies from his body.

However, the Black and White Twin Demon Formation, sensing Shui Miao’s spiritual structure, immediately exerted its full power and soon generated an energy force that directly countered Shui Miao’s.

When this new wave of sinister energy pressed upon him, Shui Miao was horrified.

“How can this be?”

Shui Miao was shocked to find that his spiritual power could no longer resist the suppression of this new evil energy.

“Haha, you brat, you’re scared now, aren’t you?”

“Hmph! You conceited fool, do you think underworld treasures are inferior to heavenly ones? Do you believe underworld deities are weaker than celestial beings? Well then, since you hold that view, today my brother and I will let you experience firsthand what true treasures are like.”

Sensing Shui Miao’s helpless resistance and his spiritual energy retreating, the Black and White Reapers became excited.

Black Reaper continued, “Yin and yang—only with yin can there be yang. The formations of the netherworld are the most powerful. The celestial realm? Haha, those are just leftover formations from the netherworld.”

“Brat, surrender already. Today, you’re definitely going to make a fool of yourself.”

White Reaper chimed in with a shout.

“Guys, I haven’t even really started yet.”

Shui Miao activated his Time Protection Treasure, blocking the evil energies. Then, he summoned his core treasure—the Supreme Treasure of Life. Two spirit guardians at the Immortal Emperor level instantly expelled the evil energies from his body, gathering them into a small ball. Shui Miao’s consciousness entered the Time Pagoda, where he began to study the evil energy ball in detail.

Previously, Shui Miao had never really separated and utilized the yin and yang energies of the five elements.

Observing this energy that had suppressed him, he gradually understood: within the five elemental energies were distinctions of yin and yang. These evil energies were all of the utmost yin and sinister nature, combining in various ways to adapt to an opponent’s spiritual structure, creating targeted evil energies for full suppression.

“Indeed, the combination of yin and yang energies is incredibly profound!”

Shui Miao shifted his focus, summoning his Soul Devouring Power.

Since his last lightning tribulation, his Soul Devouring Power had been integrated into his spiritual energy, its characteristics fading. Now, by reactivating and gathering it, he reshaped this power.

He activated the Time Pagoda, reversing time. Inside, it felt like a long time had passed, but outside, only a blink of an eye had occurred.

The Black and White Twin Demon Formation, adapting to counter Shui Miao’s Time Protection Talisman, had just begun forming a new evil energy to destroy it when suddenly, a surge of Soul Devouring Power erupted from the talisman, instantly consuming a massive amount of evil energy.

“Hehe, gentlemen, I wonder if your magical treasures can counter this Soul Devouring Power of mine?”

Having landed the first strike, Shui Miao immediately launched a counterattack, unleashing his Soul Devouring Power to devour the surrounding evil energies.

“What the hell is this thing?”

“Shui Miao, who exactly are you? How can you possess such evil energy?”

“Cursed! This energy is terrifying—it feels like the Great Devouring Demon Qi of the Ancient Demon King!”

“How is that possible? He’s a celestial being—how could he wield the Great Devouring Demon Qi of the Ancient Demon King?”

“It must be him! He must be one of the Ancient Demon King’s followers. I heard from Wu Chang Yi Dao that he once encountered a mysterious figure in the Rakshasa Sea—maybe that was him…”

“No, our formation has already adapted to counter his energy…”

In a panic, the Black and White Reapers quickly adjusted their formation’s spirit guardians to generate a counterforce. But this time, the energy they produced was actually the Auspicious Violet Qi!

“These netherworld treasures can actually emit Auspicious Violet Qi? This is becoming truly fascinating…”

Shui Miao’s mind raced. He quickly adjusted his yin-yang elemental energies, combining the yang energies into a pure, blazing white celestial force, which he launched directly at the Black and White Reapers.

“Boom…”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As soon as the white celestial force was unleashed, it collided with the evil energies, producing a thunderous roar. Instantly, it shattered the sinister yin energies, unstoppable like a white lightning bolt tearing through the night sky. It struck Black Reaper first, sending him flying with a massive explosion. Then the lightning struck White Reaper, who tried to flee but was hit in the back before he could escape, also exploding and flying away.

The two netherworld treasures fell to the ground, their functions ceasing.

Shui Miao quickly retracted his celestial energy and Soul Devouring Power, seized the two magical treasures, and forcefully probed their inner structures with his divine consciousness, completely deciphering their formation arrays.

Indeed, the formations within these magical treasures were incredibly profound.

Now that Shui Miao had obtained their formation structures, he could replicate them exactly, or even improve upon them to create even more perfect magical treasures.

“Brothers, I meant no offense. Just now, I took the advantage.”

Shui Miao bowed respectfully, sincerely apologized, returned the two magical treasures to the Black and White Reapers, and also presented them with numerous spirit stones and high-grade pills.

His attitude was humble and genuine.

The Black and White Reapers stood up, seeing Shui Miao’s humility and remembering their prior agreement, so they no longer felt the need to say anything further.

“Alright, alright, Brother Shui Miao. Considering your filial devotion to your father, we’ll pretend this never happened. Just keep it a secret.”

“Yeah, Brother Shui Miao, you’re truly admirable. You’re honest, keep your word, and you’re also powerful and filial. I, White Reaper, admit defeat willingly.”

Seeing the many spirit stones and high-quality pills, the Black and White Reapers became excited.

When you accept someone’s gifts, it’s hard to hold a grudge. The Black and White Reapers were smart men.

To them, this wasn’t a big deal anyway. With so many benefits gained, what was there to complain about?

Shui Miao laughed and chatted with the two netherworld deities for a while, as if they had been close friends for years. After arriving at the netherworld together, Shui Miao bid them farewell. Then, he headed straight to the Island of Evil Dragon in the Rakshasa Sea, preparing to bring his friends back to the celestial realm for a grand adventure.
