I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 398 - 398 Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet

Han Zheng suddenly realized he might have been severely misled by the rumors about the Black Mountain Demon.

Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao had always told him about how adept the Black Mountain Demon was at manipulating people's hearts, and that they needed to be wary of its sinister methods.

Yan Xuankong had also mentioned that among the Four Great Demon Kings of Southern Mountain from the past, the Black Mountain Demon was the weakest, only somewhat better at escaping; its true combat power was hardly concerning.

But now, seeing the Black Mountain Demon effortlessly pull a giant mountain from the ground, especially when it was just in its Primordial Spirit Body, was this supposed to be weak?

Yan Xuankong was also surprised and said, "Damn, since when did this stone spirit become so strong?

But I wasn't deceiving you, the strength of this stone spirit really wasn't impressive sixty years ago, it only fled when it saw me.

However, I also mentioned, that was sixty years ago, over the years it must have improved indeed.

Moreover, the Black Mountain Demon has already gathered the Four Spirits Power and now only needs to completely break away from its old form and reshape its Demon Body.

This process might not be completed yet, but it has already influenced it, making its Primordial Spirit stronger, which isn't surprising.

Also, it's not that the Black Mountain Demon is excessively strong, but rather, Abbot Pu Du is probably nearing the end of his life span, hence his diminished strength due to declining vitality and blood.

The Great Compassion Temple practices body refinement disciplines, with two Martial Arts pathways.

One is the Body Refinement pathway, cultivating the Buddhist's indestructible body, achieved late in life but immensely powerful in the later stages.

The second pathway is law cultivation, with techniques like the Great Compassionate Palm, Buddha's Flower Picking Finger, Vajra Demon Suppressing Transformation, and other potent Buddhist secret techniques.

Abbot Pu Du had both talent and strength initially, hence he followed the dual path of body refinement.

However, now it seems his vitality is declining, and the power of his indestructible body can't be fully utilized, leaving him to rely on the secret techniques from the Great Compassion Temple to fight."

Han Zheng had guessed as much.

Among the Yang God Realm Martial Artists in Southern Mountain, Abbot Pu Du was one of the oldest, even older than the ancestor of the Bai Family.

If the ancestor of the Bai Family had entered the phase of declining blood and vitality, it goes without saying for Abbot Pu Du.

Sixty years ago, Abbot Pu Du was already looking for a successor, ready to hand over the position of abbot to Fa Jing once he stepped into the Yang God Realm.

But unexpectedly, the successor he chose ended up colluding with Demons.

Out of necessity, Abbot Pu Du ended up running the Great Compassion Temple for many more years.

At that moment, the Black Mountain Demon stood with his hands behind his back and suddenly laughed loudly, "Abbot Pu Du, you've aged as well, far from what you once were.

Furthermore, you were never my match, even less so now.

I know you won't give up resistance, but I must say, your resistance is futile now."

As he spoke, the Black Mountain Demon waved his hands, and from the already blasted-open passage behind him surged an overwhelming wave of Demon Energy.

One after another, Demons emerged—Great Demons of the Xuan Gang Realm and numerous Demon Lords who had formed their Demon Cores, followed by dense crowds of Innate Realm Demons. At a glance, there were at least thousands of them!

Fa Ming and others felt a pang of despair upon witnessing this scene.

Although the Great Compassion Temple wasn't caught off guard by a sudden attack from the Black Mountain Demon thanks to Han Zheng's timely warning,

facing an assault by thousands of powerful Demons now, the Temple couldn't hold them off.

Han Zheng frowned slightly at the sight of these Demons; something seemed amiss.

Over these sixty years, the primary agenda of the Black Mountain Demon had been to plot for the Four Spirits Land, to reshape its Demon Body, and undergo transformation.

Among these, the Black Mountain Demon had long taken control over the Bai Family and the Great Compassion Temple through various means.

The last one, Refining Blade, had been conquered by storming through with Bu Tiange's help, while Gale Valley was taken in one fell swoop by exploiting the Demon Chaos across regions to distract the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Given this, the Black Mountain Demon's objectives were already achieved, so why open a new passage at the Bottomless Cave outside the Great Compassion Temple and hide so many Demons there? Was he intent on annihilating the Great Compassion Temple?

Seeing these Demons attack the Demon Cleansing Bureau made sense to Han Zheng, but their attack on the Great Compassion Temple puzzled him.

Yan Xuankong suddenly became agitated and exclaimed, "Damn it! I know what the Black Mountain Demon is up to!

That ambitious stone spirit actually wants the Great Compassion Temple's Divine Weapon, the 'Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet'!"

Han Zheng was slightly taken aback, "Didn't you say the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet is a divine weapon with divinity? Even past abbots couldn't use it at will, what use would it be if the Black Mountain Demon took it?

Moreover, with the divinity within the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet, the Hundred Feather Demon King among the Four Great Demon Kings merely touched it and his arm shattered instantaneously.

Is the Black Mountain Demon seeking death by trying to seize such an item?"

Yan Xuankong's tone was complex, "Under normal circumstances, it indeed would be seeking death, but don't forget, the Black Mountain Demon has seized the power of the Four Spirits, and is about to transform and reshape its demon body.

No one knows what the reshaped demon body will look like, but what if it could wield the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet?

This divine weapon contains divinity related to the secrets of becoming a deity.

This stone spirit is probably not just aiming for a further advancement in cultivation, it even wants to uncover the secrets of becoming a deity and step into the realm of the Demon God, which even the Demon Clan has not reached!"

In the past, Yan Xuankong had pursued the Black Mountain Demon, driving it into a terribly sorry state.

Who would have thought that sixty years later, he was barely clinging to life with his Primordial Spirit, while the other dared to pry into the secrets of becoming a deity.

Hearing this, Han Zheng's face changed slightly and he urgently shouted to Master Pu Du, "Abbot Pu Du! Watch out for your Great Compassion Temple's Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet!

The Black Mountain Demon isn't coming for the Bottomless Cave, it intends to seize the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet from your Great Compassion Temple right after reshaping its demon body!"

Master Pu Du's expression changed at once.

The Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet was their treasured heritage of several millennia, absolutely essential to preserve.

Moreover, Master Pu Du was well aware of how powerful this divinity-containing divine weapon could be.

If it could be freely wielded, its power would far surpass Refining Blade's Thousand Mechanism Transformation.

However, every use of the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet required the relic left by past generations of the temple's strong monks as a power source for activation.

Moreover, the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet was inseparably tied to the Great Compassion Temple, could not leave its premises, and the formidable power it wielded could unleash a great backlash on its user, thus it was not deployed unless at critical moments.

The Abbot Pu Du understood that not only demons, but other Human Warriors also couldn't wield the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet.

But if the Black Mountain Demon was scheming for the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet, it must have been largely certain of its plan!

At that moment, the Black Mountain Demon also heard Han Zheng's words, its slightly bluish eyes sizing up Han Zheng with a look of interest.

"So, you're the one who killed Luo Daoren and also defeated Bu Tiange, Han Zheng?

Tsk tsk, outstanding individuals from the Demon Cleansing Bureau really are everlasting, with Chen Baxian in the previous generation and now you, Han Zheng.

It's just too bad you don't have the same time Chen Baxian had to rise.

I'm also curious, how did you guess that I wanted to take the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet?"

The Black Mountain Demon didn't wait for Han Zheng to reply, but scratched its head and said, "Never mind how you guessed, you can't stop me anyway."

As its words fell, the Black Mountain Demon waved its hand, and countless demons charged toward the people of the Great Compassion Temple.

Master Pu Du's body blazed intensely with Buddha Light, intending to quickly return to the temple gate to control the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet.

As long as the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet was in his hands, even if all of the Great Compassion Temple's monks were barricaded at the temple gate, the enemy could absolutely not breach it.

But in the next moment, the ground under Master Pu Du began to churn wildly, like a dragon flipping the earth.

Countless thick underground pillars surged crazily from beneath, blocking in front of Master Pu Du.

Just as Master Pu Du was about to smash these pillars, an intense burst of demon energy exploded from within them, trapping him in the middle.

"I haven't been idle during these sixty years; I've dabbed a bit into arrays.

I'm determined to have the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet, old monk Pu Du, try to get out of my Heavenly Demon Formation first!"
