Chapter 8: The Devil's Way

  Ye Qing discovered during this tribulation that he didn't have a powerful attacking technique, and was unable to exert his full strength, which is why the tribulation was so difficult. Therefore, Ye Qing decided to create an earth-shattering and heaven-destroying technique to increase his own strength.

  Ye Qing had always envied the demonic realm's avatar after ascending to the heavenly realm, which possessed the tyrannical and unparalleled magic of the Catastrophic Demon Dao. Therefore, Ye Qing also planned to create a similar magic like the Catastrophic Demon Dao. Moreover, Ye Qing had the innate treasure, the Heaven-Defying Blade, so he still had confidence in creating the Catastrophic Demon Dao.

  However, before creating the Tribulation Demon Dao, Ye Qing first had to refine the Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, the Sky-Splitting Blade. With Ye Qing's current cultivation at the early stage of Mahayana Golden Immortal, it took nearly 10,000 years to refine the thirty-two seals of the Sky-Splitting Blade, which shows how difficult it is to refine a Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure. However, during the refinement process, Ye Qing also gained some insight into the destructive path contained within the Sky-Splitting Blade. Now, Ye Qing has more confidence in creating the Tribulation Demon Dao.

  Ye Qing slowly closed his eyes, and the image of Pangu opening up the sky kept appearing in his mind. The profound trajectory, the powerful soul continuously deduced the secrets of Pangu opening up the sky. Ye Qing's understanding of the destructive way also deepened unknowingly. When his soul could no longer deduce the secrets of Pangu opening up the sky, Ye Qing stopped the idea of continuing to deduce it. Relying on the newly obtained secret of Pangu opening up the sky and the destructive way, in Ye Qing's soul, a rough framework of the Jie Mo Dao method slowly came out. As time passed, the Jie Mo Dao became more perfect, and finally, after 90,000 years, Ye Qing created the first six layers of the Jie Mo Dao. The back was still unable to be created based on Ye Qing's current strength, but in these 90,000 years, Ye Qing also perfected the evolution key and created the 16th layer of Gong Fa.

  Jiemo Dao is a cultivation method that refines the intent of the knife, requiring immense spiritual power and a robust body to cultivate. If one's spiritual power is insufficient and they force themselves to cultivate it, they will be counterattacked by the powerful and overbearing intent of Jiemo Dao. Without a strong body, it is impossible to control the overbearing intent of the knife.

  It can be said that Jiemo Dao was tailor-made for Ye Qing to cultivate. With his robust spiritual power, Ye Qing cultivated Jiemo Dao all the way to the fifth level. The sixth level is no longer within Ye Qing's current spiritual power to cultivate; it requires even more powerful spiritual power.

  After cultivating Jiemo Dao, Ye Qing's spiritual power increased by nearly 10%, making Jiemo Dao a cultivation method for refining one's spirit as well.

  Each layer of the Tribulation Demon Path is a world apart, with the power of the next layer being nearly ten times that of the previous one. This can be seen from the terror of the Tribulation Demon Path created by Ye Qing.

  Ye Qing stood up and looked at the distant mountain range that was thousands of meters high. The surging knife energy flowed in his chest, and a violent knife energy burst out from his body. A few feet away, one could see a shocking scene: since Ye Qing closed his eyes, his whole body emitted an aura that dominated the heavens, and a fierce and boundless breath rushed forward. Within a radius of thousands of meters, the entire space became distorted and blurred. On top of Ye Qing's head, the sky was faintly bright and dark, changing unpredictably.

  Bang!

  A blade of air, as solid as substance, suddenly transformed into a ferocious beast, bursting out from Ye Qing's body and heavily striking the distant massive mountain range. The towering mountain range, thousands of meters high, was reduced to nothing under Ye Qing's Devil Dao. Wherever the Devil Dao passed, spatial cracks crisscrossed, and the vast blade of air swept across an area of hundreds of millions of miles, leaving behind a gigantic chasm over a hundred million miles long and a massive spatial rift in the sky.

  Ye Qing stared at the devastating power of Jie Mo Dao, his eyes wide with shock. Although Ye Qing knew that his creation, Jie Mo Dao, was very powerful, he had not expected it to be so terrifying. This was still just the first layer of Jie Mo Dao's power; if it were the fifth layer, the power would be even more frightening. However, seeing the destructive force produced by Jie Mo Dao, Ye Qing did not dare try again. If he continued, this island would be destroyed, and this was his home, which Ye Qing could not bear to destroy again.

  Ye Qing had been cultivating on this small island for nearly a hundred billion years, and now his cultivation was at the peak of the Honghuang universe. He could go anywhere he wanted. At present, the highest cultivation in the Honghuang universe was only at the peak of Daluo Jinxian, but Ye Qing's fifth-layer Jiemo Dao made him invincible in this realm. So, Ye Qing thought of going out to travel and find some heavenly treasures to plant on the small island. The small island had been desolate for a long time, with only a few trees growing in some areas after millions of years of evolution. The Honghuang universe was still young, having just opened up tens of billions of years ago, and it contained immense energy and matter. Even a stone contained energy equivalent to ten atomic bombs in later eras. The dense concentration of energy and matter made it impossible for ordinary creatures to survive here, only those who had reached the cultivation level of Fangxian could live on. Therefore, these trees born in the early days of the Honghuang universe were extremely precious, and would be highly sought after as treasures in later eras.

  At the beginning of the vast universe, many heavenly and earthly spiritual objects and treasures were born. Taking advantage of the fact that most of the pre-heavenly gods are currently in retreat, the land of the vast universe still maintains its newly opened appearance, and most of the spiritual objects and treasures are still unowned, so Ye Qing thought of going out to find some spiritual roots and treasures.

  Ye Qing thought that after he left, if someone else occupied this small island, what would happen. So, on the edge of the island, he erected a stone monument with the words "Jie Mo Island" written on it. The three characters were written by Ye Qing using the fifth layer of the Jie Mo Dao's mysterious meaning, and they were filled with an aura of invincibility. If one had good comprehension, they could grasp a hint of the Jie Mo Dao's mysterious meaning and their cultivation would greatly increase. However, this was just Ye Qing's unintentional move, but unexpectedly, it brought him a talented disciple who was a genius.

  Ye Qing left the island and flew towards the Honghuang Continent. Along the way, Ye Qing walked and stopped, occasionally stopping to comprehend the secrets of the universe. At times, he would use his divine sense to scan the lands he passed through. In this manner, he spent three thousand years walking and stopping. One day, Ye Qing's divine sense encountered a special place. It was special because Ye Qing's divine sense couldn't see through what was inside. Ye Qing was extremely curious about what kind of spiritual treasure could be hidden within.

  Anyway, Ye Qing had a lot of time on his hands. When he was bored, he found a treasure that made him very happy. Ye Qing dove headfirst into the sea and arrived at a mysterious cave.

  Inside the cave, there was a naturally formed large array. The array was perfectly formed, without any artificial polishing. Inside, mist rose and it was impossible to see one's fingers when stretching out one's hand. Moreover, illusions would occasionally appear, and energy would surge violently. Although the atmosphere was shocking, it seemed as if something was suppressing it, preventing the energy from spreading outside. Furthermore, the energy inside did not harm the surrounding plants, which was truly extraordinary.

  Ye Qing looked at this innate grand array and felt that he should learn it first. Ye Qing sat down cross-legged, his vast soul constantly deducing the natural grand array. As Ye Qing deduced, the mystery of the innate grand array slowly unfolded. A hundred years passed, and Ye Qing finally mastered the innate grand array and learned that it was the Thirty-Six Heavenly Slaughter Array.

  Ye Qing dispelled the innate grand array, and the spiritual object inside finally revealed its shape. It turned out to be an innate spiritual treasure resembling a metal book, with a chaotic color. Ye Qing looked at this treasure, thinking that if he didn't know that Zhong Yuansi's earth book wouldn't appear here, he would have thought this treasure was Zhong Yuansi's earth book.

  Ye Qing didn't hesitate and suddenly appeared in the void with a giant hand. The moment it appeared, it reached out to grab the book. He wanted to seize it, but unexpectedly, the book wasn't so easy to tame. It mysteriously dodged the giant hand's grasp, evading its capture.
