Chapter 668 — The Demon King Breaks Free of the Seal

"I was merely curious about what the Divine Son of Youdu was, and came here by accident, and was muddled into being sealed and suppressed here. You have seen me before. You once stared into my eyes for two days and two nights.

. .

" "You are the Heavenly Duke!

" Shen Mu blurted out. The Heavenly Duke's clone nodded helplessly. "It is enough that you know.

Do not spread it about — it would cost me too much face. Though you will have no chance to spread it about either. You are sealed here too.

" Shen Mu's expression went blank. He stared around him, dazed. The Heavenly Duke, the Crimson Emperor, the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha, and the Earth Earl's horn — since when had his third eye held so many terrifying beings? "Elder brother? I have an elder brother? " He suddenly came to himself and said hurriedly, "When Divine Son Chiming was about to kill me, it was my elder brother who threw me in here? How did I not know I had an elder brother?

Is there not another me hidden inside my body? " The Crimson Emperor knew nothing of this and naturally could not answer. The Heavenly Duke, however, seemed to know a great deal. "That elder brother of yours is also Shen Fengqing. You, too, are Shen Fengqing.

I cannot explain it clearly either.

He was born a holy one, a demon king, knowing only slaughter. You were born later — only after the Earth Earl sealed him did you give birth to your own consciousness. He represents evil.

. . " Shen Mu said excitedly, "Then I represent good, is that right? " The Heavenly Duke's clone hesitated.

Looking at his excited expression, he could not bear to tell him the truth, and said vaguely, "An infant has neither good nor evil.

It depends on nurture and teaching. Born into a good family, good outweighs evil; born in a place where villains are everywhere, evil outweighs good. . .

" Shen Mu relaxed and let out a breath. He laughed. "I knew I represented justice and goodness. My upbringing was excellent. The old folks in our village are all famous good people! " White light shot three zhang from the Heavenly Duke's clone's eyes before it finally subsided. "This is not your fault either.

That Shen Fengqing is too cunning.

He deliberately let us break the seal so that he could escape in the confusion, and then threw you in to be suppressed. That way you can never take back the body, and can only be trapped here with us. By now, that fellow has most likely been wreaking havoc outside. Crimson Emperor, does your Suspended Void Realm have any power to defend itself? " The Crimson Emperor hesitated, then shook his head. "My mortal body has already been wholly transformed into the Suspended Void Realm, and my primal spirit dissolved itself.

When I entered this microcosm, I was gravely wounded. . .

" Shen Mu suddenly understood, and asked, puzzled, "You are the Crimson Emperor's thought? How did you get in here? Were you not in the Crimson Emperor's brain? How is it that you too are sealed here? If you had not suddenly vanished, Divine Son Chiming would not have struck to kill us! " The Crimson Emperor's three faces flushed red at once. Abashed, he said, "That. . .

it is a long story. " Shen Mu's eyes flickered. "We are all sealed and suppressed here. We have all the time in the world.

Your Majesty the Crimson Emperor may as well tell it in stages. " The Crimson Emperor hesitated, unwilling to speak it aloud. The Heavenly Duke's clone laughed. "Let me tell it for him. When he entered this microcosm, his soul scattered.

But he was unwilling to die just like that, so he turned his mortal body into the Suspended Void Realm and preserved his thought-consciousness as an undying divine consciousness. So long as someone could bear his thought-consciousness, he could live again.

Not truly live again — rather, another him would live again. " Shen Mu understood at once. He sneered, "In other words, the Crimson Emperor's thought would completely erase the thought of the person he possessed.

Though that person would not have his soul, he would have his thought-consciousness, thinking and doing exactly as he did — not him, and yet him!

Though he died, his thought-consciousness lived on. That is a kind of body-snatching! The Crimson Emperor had actually set his sights on me, believing I could inherit his thought-consciousness, and that erasing my thought would suffice. But unexpectedly. . . " The Crimson Emperor sighed.

"But unexpectedly I met a three-eyed monster infant. I had meant to possess him, but I found that this three-eyed monster infant's thought-consciousness was absurdly strong, and utterly foul, filled with the most vicious thoughts. I could not erase his thought at all; instead, he drove me out. And after being driven out, I suffered the deepest humiliation and was trapped here. " "Serves you right! " Shen Mu sneered. The Crimson Emperor was enraged. The Heavenly Duke's clone said, "Stop bickering, you two. The greatest question now is how long it will be before the Suspended Void Realm is extinguished.

" The Crimson Emperor was silent a moment, then said, "This Shen Fengqing — just how strong is he? " On the Sacred Mountain of the Suspended Void Realm, the sky split and the earth cracked with a thunderous roar. Divine Son Chiming was hammered brutally to the ground by an enormous fist. The Sacred Mountain shuddered violently and kept sinking. "Shen'er is so strong. . .

" The First Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, lying on the ground, showed surprise and relief as he looked at the giant infant of majestic build — and was then sent flying by a huge palm.

The First Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, tumbled through the air like a spinning top, flying far away, still wondering, "Why did Shen'er strike me? Does he still resent me for shattering the Second Ancestor's bones? " "Turn this place into a little Youdu!

" The infant, exhilarated, smashed down at the Sacred Hall.

The Sacred Hall shattered into pieces, and nearly half the mountain peak caved in. "Bring Mother here to live with me! Though Mother does not allow me to eat people — that is a nuisance.

. . " Divine Son Chiming roared and shot up from underground, charging at the infant to kill. Bang.

A fist met him. Divine Son Chiming was almost flattened against the fist and sent flying backward. The infant's eyes suddenly lit up. It clapped its hands and laughed.

"That is it — first eat everyone here, and would that not settle it?

"
