Chapter 668 — The Demon King Breaks Free of the Seal

The giant infant reached out and seized the middle-aged emperor. The emperor struggled, could not break free, and sneered, "I am only thought-consciousness. What can you do to me?

" Crunch.

The infant bit off half his body in one bite, then swallowed him down in another. "Not tasty.

No human flavor, no ghost flavor either.

. . What is going on?

" A head grew from the infant's neck — the Crimson Emperor's head, growing from small to large. The infant flew into a rage, raised its fists, and rained down blows like a storm, until at last it drove him out of its body once more. The Crimson Emperor scrambled up and cried loudly, "I told you, I am thought-consciousness, not the true Crimson Emperor.

You cannot eat—" Smack— The infant clapped him under its palm, and the mountains trembled.

The infant lifted its hand; the Crimson Emperor lay spread-eagled beneath the enormous palm print. In the distance, the Heavenly Duke's clone wanted to shout a warning but dared not raise his voice: "Crimson Emperor, do not struggle, do not talk back. Once he tires of playing, he will stop. " The Crimson Emperor got up, furious: "Do you know who We are? You—" Smack! The Crimson Emperor lay flat again, the palm print deeper.

He struggled out and said, "We—" Smack!

Smack!

Smack! The infant struck him no one knew how many times, until the Heavenly Duke's clone watched with his heart in his throat.

At last the sturdy, snow-pure, adorable baby lost interest in the Crimson Emperor.

The Heavenly Duke's clone crept forward, pulled the Crimson Emperor up out of the ground, and whispered, "In this sealed continent, do not resist him. Resist him and you will be beaten. Alone, I cannot break the Earth Earl's seal and the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha's suppression, but now that you are here, I have some confidence. Do not make a sound, lest we alarm this Demon King of Havoc. We move together. " The Crimson Emperor said, "I am only the Crimson Emperor's thought-consciousness. I have little power. I fear I cannot break the Earth Earl's seal or the Great Brahma's suppression. " The Heavenly Duke's clone laughed. "If it were only the Earth Earl's seal, it could not have held me.

The crux is the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha. In the past this old Buddha was most respectful to me, addressing me as 'Daoist brother,' but now no matter how I call him he pays no heed — most likely he has gone sleepwalking again. This great Buddha of his is manifested in a dream; he too is thought-consciousness.

You hold him off, and I can break the Earth Earl's seal. It need not be a great breach — only a crack, and we can seize the chance and escape. " The Crimson Emperor's eyes lit up. He bowed and said, "I place my hopes in you, Daoist brother. . . " "Quiet. Do not alarm that Demon King of Havoc. " The two looked toward the infant Shen Fengqing.

The sturdy little fellow was crawling over the mountains and rivers of the Shen-character continent on hands and knees, trying to crawl out of the Shen-character seal, but wherever he crawled the Shen-character mountain range shifted to match, so that he could never escape.

"Now!

" shouted the Heavenly Duke's clone. The Crimson Emperor shot into the air at once, charging the great Buddha in the sky. His body shook, and he manifested three heads and six arms. The great Buddha above the Shen-character continent suddenly blazed with Buddha-light, Buddha-sound rose in a great swell, and countless Sanskrit characters swirled around the Buddha with a clatter, then pressed down from above. "Great Brahma, Daoist brother, your Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception is no match for my Three Primes' undying divine consciousness!

" Both were thought-consciousness; they collided, and the Heavenly Duke's clone felt the pressure lift at once.

He began breaking the Earth Earl's seal. The Heavenly Duke's power was boundless; he raised a leg and stamped down hard, and the shifting Shen-character continent abruptly stopped moving. The Heavenly Duke's clone lifted a hand and parted the sky, splitting it open in a line, like eyelids drawing apart left and right. "Crimson Emperor, no need to fight the Great Brahma any longer. Let us seize the chance and escape!

" the Heavenly Duke's clone shouted. The Crimson Emperor was startled and delighted.

The two ancient beings soared into the air, turning into two streaks of light flying toward the crack. But just then, in the eyes of the infant trapped among the Shen-character mountains, a cunning look appeared, and a smile rose on his face. The Crimson Emperor and the Heavenly Duke were about to fly out of the seal when two chubby hands suddenly seized the streaks of light, yanked them down hard, and slammed the two of them brutally onto the ground. The Heavenly Duke and the Crimson Emperor were thrown into a daze. They looked up in haste and cried out together, "Bad! " — for the enormous infant had gripped the crack in the sky with both hands, and half its body was already out of the seal, its two chubby short legs kicking this way and that.

Suddenly the infant's right foot caught the edge of the crack, and it scrambled clumsily out. The seal in the sky slowly healed.

The Heavenly Duke and the Crimson Emperor exchanged a glance, then flew up again, trying to burst out before the seal closed. The crack grew smaller and smaller, about to shut, when suddenly the infant's voice came from beyond the sky: "Catch my little brother! " A figure dropped out of the crack, tumbling head over heels from the sky — a youth, by the look of him. The Heavenly Duke and the Crimson Emperor pretended not to see. They were about to burst through the crack when suddenly a huge golden willow leaf pressed down from beyond the sky and, with a smack, covered the whole sky.

Buddha-sound rose, Buddha-light blazed, and the Earth Earl's seal and the great Buddha's suppression merged into one, impregnable, never again to split the sky open. The Crimson Emperor was shocked and furious. He rushed at the great Buddha and cried, "Heavenly Duke, Daoist brother, I will hold off the old Buddha.

You break the seal! " The Heavenly Duke's clone was dispirited. He shook his head. "It is no use. It is already too late.

This willow leaf is stuck to the third eye, and it has joined the seal and the suppression into one. When the willow leaf was being peeled back, there was still a chance to break the seal; once the willow leaf covers it, there is no escaping, even if you wish it.

" The Crimson Emperor was crushed. The two landed and stared at each other, sighing long and short. "Just now, it seemed someone fell from beyond the sky," the Crimson Emperor said suddenly.

The Heavenly Duke remembered too — it seemed that Demon King of Havoc had said something like "catch my little brother. " An ominous feeling rose in his heart. "Could that person be.

. .

" As he spoke, a tall youth walked over, muddled, and asked the two of them, "Elders, where is this place? " The youth was fine-featured and handsome, except for a vertical eye on his forehead. "This is bad!

" Seeing the youth, the Heavenly Duke's clone sighed. "The rightful owner has been thrown into the seal, and that Demon King of Havoc, Shen Fengqing, has escaped! This is bad, this is bad.

. .

" Shen Mu was gentle and refined, very courteous. He saluted and said, "May I ask how the two elders are called? And could you tell me where this place is? " "This is the place where your elder brother is sealed. It is a jade pendant refined from a fragment of the Earth Earl's own horn, hidden in your third eye.

Look — that great Buddha in the sky is the muddled, muddle-headed Great Brahma.

This middle-aged emperor before you is the first Celestial Emperor of the Chiming era, the Crimson Emperor.

And I.

. . " The Heavenly Duke's clone sighed.
