Chapter 338 Blood River True Scripture_2
The demon bear mocked, "Ever since you became a lapdog of the Heavenly Court, you kill our kind more zealously than the human cultivators!"
"Lapdog? It's just that the common monsters of the wild are jealous. I am the Jiazi Great Year Deity, ranked first among the deities of the Sui Department!"
Jiazi Great Year Deity Ao Kun said, "Now in Dongsheng Divine Continent, there is no distinction between humans and demons, there is only the Heavenly Court!"
These were not empty words, nor were they said for the Emperor of Heaven; he truly believed them from the bottom of his heart.
The dragon clan has many offspring, and Ao Kun was a descendant of the Shangshui True Dragon. However, his mother's bloodline was insignificant, and the Dragon Blood within him was diluted, never getting attention from the Dragon Palace.
As a youngling, he was bullied. In the eyes of those with richer dragon blood, he was nothing more than a Dragon Vein Demonic Beast.
In the demon race, bloodline is everything. Ao Kun had thought this would be his lot in life, until the Heavenly Court sent the Shangshui Immortal Register to his doorstep.
Starting as an insignificant minor official in the Sui Department, Ao Kun seized every opportunity. In just four to five hundred short years, he ascended to the position of Jiazi Great Year Deity.
There might have been conspiracies from the Heavenly Court or perhaps it was luck, but Ao Kun didn't care because the Heavenly Court had changed his fate.
Therefore, any cultivator or demon that violated the heavenly laws must be severely punished to demonstrate the Heavenly Court's majesty.
"Hehehe..."
The demon bear laughed scornfully a few times, disdainfully saying, "I'm just a rural wild demon, but even I know that 'those not of our kind must have a different heart'! As a noble of the dragon race, the emperor of the demons, don't you know this principle?"
"Nonsense and sedition!"
Ao Kun understood this naturally, but his loyalty lay not with the Heavenly Court, but with the heavenly laws upheld by it.
Under the heavenly laws, all beings are equal!
"Wanton slaughter of living beings must be punished!"
At Ao Kun's command, the Great Year Deities serving the month immediately formed the Yuan Chen Demon Suppression Formation.
"Using overwhelming numbers to bully the few, such is the way of the Heavenly Court!"
The bear demon howled, transforming into a blood shadow rushing to attack, unaffected by the formation's divine light as if it couldn't injure him at all.
Only a streak of lightning, like a foot-following maggot, couldn't be shaken off no matter what.
Ao Kun had anticipated this and shot out a purple lightning from his Treasure Bead in his hand, which formed a lightning net to envelop the blood shadow.
The demon bear blood shadow darted left and right with a sizzling noise, its crimson color growing thinner by the moment.
Ao Kun said coldly, "This is a Divine Skill left by the Heavenly Monarch of the Sui Department. Under Divinity Transformation, there is no escape. Surrender quietly and accept your punishment from the Heavenly Court!"
"I'd rather die than submit to the Heavenly Court!"
The demon bear squeezed a spell, detonating the moonlight and shattering the lightning net with terrifying power.
The mere remnants of the blood light, ignoring the Formation and Prohibition of Monkey Mountain, burrowed into it.
"Even in death, I should return to the tree hole of Monkey Mountain, seeing this life through to its end..."
The bear demon's body and soul were destroyed by ninety percent, and his consciousness was beginning to blur, vaguely recalling the beginning of his cultivation.
It gained sentience when it awoke from hibernation in Monkey Mountain, acquiring an innate ability to devour. By consuming flesh and blood, it could grow in strength.
Afterward, the bear demon sought enlightenment far and wide, only to be turned away at every door, ridiculed by cultivators and his own kind alike.
He chose the path of devouring Qi-Blood to break through realms, starting stealthily, then brazenly consuming living beings by entire mountains and rivers as he grew in power.
After consuming just a few mountains' and rivers' essences, he was pursued by Mountain Gods and River Lords. Relying on his Innate Divine Ability, he killed a few and ended up on the Heavenly Court's wanted list.
Since then, for hundreds of years, the demon bear was on the run, rising from the bottom to the top hundred of the wanted list, hunted by the Righteous Gods of the Sui Department wherever he hid.

While on the run, the bear demon exchanged information with other heretical evils and learned that breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm would make him eligible for amnesty.
This is called having strategic value!
The bear demon vocalized disdain for the Heavenly Court, but in reality, his greatest wish was to be amnestied by it, even if that meant becoming a lowly third-rank mortal official.
As the remaining soul burrowed into the formation, it hadn't yet found a tree hole to settle in for transformation when a powerful Mana swept over it.
"This fellow, why do you feel somewhat familiar?"
Sun Changsheng's voice transmitted as he closely observed the remnant soul, preparing to perform the Soul Search.
As the blood shadow just landed in his palm, like a swallow returning to its nest, it immediately merged into one with him.
"This is..."
In Sun Changsheng's soul, numerous memories emerged, from when the bear demon found the Red Stone Egg to devouring endless Qi-Blood and being hunted by the Heavenly Court's Sui Department until death.
Accompanying these memories was a Cultivation Technique, more mysterious than the Heaven Patching Scripture, seemingly not a heritage from this world.
"The Blood Sea Scripture!"
"This technique originates from the Stone Egg, which is to say, from me..."
Sun Changsheng suddenly fell silent, recalling the many teachings of his master, the reasons for always urging him towards kindness.
"It must have been Master's Mana that is Tong Xuan, predicting my origin, that he took great care in instructing me, fearing I would take the path of demons!"
"Perhaps it was ordained that I could not change my fate, that was why Master drove me from the mountain!"
At this thought, Sun Changsheng's Primordial Spirit trembled, and in pain, he began to roll chaotically on the ground.
Outside.
The Jiazi Great Year Deities have besieged Monkey Mountain.
Ao Kun looked at the Formation and Prohibitions with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
The divine laws contain regulations forbidding cultivators from arbitrarily enclosing land for secluded cultivation, but these regulations are relatively new and not thoroughly implemented in the Cultivation World, with many violators.
As the saying goes, "the law does not punish the multitude;" when ordinary Righteous Gods encounter such cases, they would turn a blind eye.
However, in Ao Kun's eyes, those who violated the divine laws must be captured and sent to the Heavenly Prison for punishment.
Having encountered it today, he was determined to administer a strict punishment as a warning to others.
Sun Changsheng's voice came through, carefully observing the remnant soul, ready to cast the Soul Search technique.
The Xue Ying had just fallen into the palm, like a swallow returning to its nest, directly merging into one.
"This is…"
Sun Changsheng's Primordial Spirit now possessed many memories, from the bear demon finding the Red Stone Egg to devouring endless Qi-Blood, being hunted to death by the Heavenly Court's Sui Department.
At the same time, a Cultivation Technique appeared, more profound than the Heaven Repairing Secrets and seemingly not an earthly inheritance.
"Blood Sea Scripture!"
"This Cultivation Technique originates from the Stone Egg, which means it comes from me…"
Sun Changsheng suddenly fell into silence, recalling the many principles his mentor had taught him, and why he was always urged to follow the path of goodness.
"Certainly, my mentor's mana was profound enough to divine my origin; that's why he took great care in teaching me, fearing that I would walk the path of demons!"
"Perhaps my mentor banished me from the mountain because he foresaw that my fate could not be changed!"
Upon this realization, Sun Changsheng's Primordial Spirit trembled, and he rolled around on the ground in pain.
