Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“So this is what it means: when the cunning rabbits are dead, the running dogs are cooked.”
“Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, you’re ruthless!”
Facing Gushe’s counterattack of mutual destruction without a shred of hesitation.
Huo Yunzi knew he had truly fallen this time.
Just facing the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, that cunning, unfathomable bastard, was already more than he could handle.
Add Gushe, the Mother of True Demons he had personally taught, restraining him in turn.
Even if he still had the option of cutting off his tail to survive, there was no meaning left in it.
Because he, Huo Yunzi, was not Lin Qi.
Even if his spiritual power was completely gone and he was reduced to a cripple, he would still receive Supreme protection.
He could remain unruffled by favor or disgrace, idly watching the flowers bloom and fall before the courtyard; indifferent to leaving or staying, casually following the clouds as they rolled and unfurled at the edge of the sky.
The reason Huo Yunzi could leap from a traitor who should have been easily suppressed and killed by the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm to a Supreme Heavenly Demon with ambitions rivaling the Supreme.
It was entirely because the Great Destruction needed him, Huo Yunzi, as a scapegoat.
Only then could the true mastermind behind the scenes, the ones pushing forward this catastrophe that would sweep across and destroy the entire Myriad Realms, keep their hands clean.
Just as Huo Yunzi had roared before.
Because of the existence of Huo Yunzi and his Heavenly Demon Clan, all the sins of All Heavens could be laid upon him.
Under those conditions, everyone else could enter the New World after the Great Destruction with clean bodies and contend for supremacy anew.
And not have to bear the crime of being an evil arch-villain the moment they entered the New World after the Great Destruction.
Suffering rejection from all living beings and the Heavenly Dao.
After all, whether it was the Supreme of All Heavens or the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
They themselves represented order in the old era, not chaos.
So no matter what kind of world the New World after the Great Destruction would ultimately become.
But after the Great Destruction, in the long period at the birth of the New World.
Order would end chaos and become the main melody of the New World.
Moreover, for cultivators walking the Path of Dao Union.
There was no path to gaining the Heavenly Dao’s recognition greater than reshaping the order of an entire world.
So-called acting on behalf of heaven — nothing surpassed this.
To put it plainly, the reason Huo Yunzi and his Heavenly Demon Clan could run rampant for so many years right under the noses of the Supreme and the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
Was entirely because the value of Huo Yunzi and his Heavenly Demon Clan’s existence was to become the part in the New World after the Great Destruction that would be acted against on behalf of heaven.
Huo Yunzi had long known this clearly in his heart.
Anger and unwillingness — after all, this itself was one of the prices already marked out behind his ability to become the Supreme Heavenly Demon.
What truly dissatisfied him at this moment was that it was too early.
The time that should have belonged to him and his Heavenly Demon Clan to run wild in this Great Destruction and accumulate resources and power had been ended ahead of schedule.
He was not quite certain whether this was the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor going mad.
Wanting to use the suppression and killing of him, the Supreme Heavenly Demon, to overawe All Heavens and display might across the Myriad Realms.
Thus using him, Huo Yunzi, as a stepping stone to better contend with Lin Qi.
Or whether the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor had some other scheme.
But Huo Yunzi no longer had time to think further.
He realized his fall today was unavoidable.
No Supreme had acted, no Heavenly Immortal had come to his aid.
Even if he risked everything and fled without regard for anything, managing to cling to his wretched life from the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s hands.
He would likely still be crippled.
Perhaps his future days would be like those of a stray dog, hunted by the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor until there was no road to heaven above and no door to earth below.
Rather than that, it was better to take a step back and find broad seas and clear skies.
Simply self-immolate this Heavenly Demon body, use it as resources, and plan ahead for a second life.
But before that, he still had to submit a Blood Oath.
