Chapter 867: Sudden Change

The blood of the innate god and demon was extremely terrifying, containing boundless might. It manifested three thousand phantom images of gods and demons, beginning to suppress the immortal jade.

The ancient jade was wreathed in endless immortal mist, shooting out divine rays. Each ray flowed with myriad auspicious colors, with phantom images of true phoenixes and true dragons appearing within, very mysterious.

After a moment of resistance, the light emitted by the immortal jade grew even more intense, but the innate god and demon blood was also more terrifying, both locked in a stalemate.

"Little divine herb, does this ancient jade have no artifact spirit?" Yang Tian asked doubtfully. How could Murong Feng have subdued such a treasure?

"I don't know. Little Jade can talk, but now it won't speak," the little divine herb said, its memory still incomplete, unable to recall much.

Yang Tian did not press further, lest the little divine herb fall asleep. He kept staring at the ancient jade. The immortal patterns on it were extremely terrifying. Although not as intricate as those on the River Chart, these patterns were too dreadful, containing boundless divine energy.

He wanted to take out the tortoise shell to divine the origin of the ancient jade, but then gave up the thought. Such a terrifying treasure, if it failed, would surely bring backlash.

The innate god and demon's bloodshot eyes showed some impatience, but its aura was somewhat weakened. The innate divine blood it had just spat out was its own origin blood.

At this moment, it extended a finger, and a black light shot out, striking toward the immortal patterns of the ancient jade to kill them.

Its speed was extremely fast. The entire world was filled with terrifying black light, interweaving into dreadful nets, intending to suppress the ancient jade.

The innate god and demon also kept opening its mouth, spewing out streams of filthy aura. Although the ancient jade was terrifying, this filthy aura could turn even a celestial artifact into scrap iron if touched. Against an unmanned ancient jade, it was somewhat effective.

"Brother Yang Tian, will Little Jade be caught by it?" the little divine herb tugged at Yang Tian's sleeve, lamenting, "If Little Jade is caught by it, what will we do?"

Yang Tian also had a headache. Such a level of being was not something he could interfere with. If not for the ancient mirror above his head, he would probably have been discovered by now.

The ancient jade was surrounded by filthy aura, coupled with the innate god and demon blood floating above it. The situation was very unfavorable, after all, the origin of this being was too terrifying—it had crawled out from the Life Ancient Well.

"This is immortal mist!"

A sudden exclamation rang out beside Jiang Nan, instantly delighting him. "Senior Yan Long, you're awake?"

"I was awakened by this innate demon. I never thought this flawless world would nurture such a demon!" Yan Long also felt a chill run down his spine.

"Is this god and demon very terrifying?" Jiang Nan couldn't help asking. From Yan Long's tone, he could tell that this demon's origin was shocking.

"This is a demon born from heaven and earth, not cultivated later but formed innately. This world has flawless Dao laws, meaning it was born at the dawn of creation!"

Yan Long's face was full of shock. This demon was too terrifying, no ordinary creature. It was born of heaven and earth, its body indestructible, formidable to the extreme.

"I never expected flawless Dao laws to give birth to a flawless god and demon. If it leaves this place, it will surely cause a catastrophe!"

Yang Tian was also stunned. A being born of heaven and earth, nearly immortal—too terrifying.

"Didn't the one who created this world know that a demon was born?" Yang Tian was very puzzled. How could such a formidable figure leave a scourge here?

"There are two possibilities. This innate demon was placed here by someone to perfect its body in this flawless world."

Yan Long's words made Yang Tian's mouth twitch. What kind of terrifying figure would capture an innate god and demon and suppress it here to perfect its body?

The first ancestral land of the Divine Herb Valley was very mysterious. It was rumored to have been created by the Medicine God, but that was inaccurate—just a rumor. Some also said it was the Medicine God's residence, while others claimed it was created by a Supreme Being, and the Medicine God was merely a herb cultivated by that Supreme Being.

However, the legends of the Medicine God were extremely terrifying. It suppressed the myriad realms, and all races bowed down. In that great era, the Medicine Clan rose and dominated the land, formidable to the extreme.

Later, the Medicine God fell, leaving behind a terrifying killing formation in the Divine Herb Valley, capable of slaying gods!

Outsiders dared not invade. That era was too distant to trace. Even Yan Long only knew a little.

"This situation is somewhat impossible. Nurturing a demon goes against the heavens. The second possibility is that the master of this world wanted to raise the demon and then kill it to seize a great opportunity."

"Raise it and then kill it?" Yang Tian was speechless. Wasn't that like taking off pants to fart?

"Heh, the merit you obtained that day would drive even a god mad. If you kill this demon, you might become a god on the spot—a god of merit!"

Yan Long's words made Yang Tian's jaw nearly drop. Kill it and become a god? Nonsense.

"If this innate demon emerges, it will cause immense slaughter, countless deaths," Yan Long said gravely. It would be terrifying then, with nothing able to stop it.

"Now that the world is perfecting itself, if you slay it, you will gain boundless merit." Yan Long also felt it was somewhat unreal. This guy was too terrifying; no one could provoke him.

Yang Tian clicked his tongue. Then he quickly asked, "What is the origin of that immortal object?"

Hearing this, Yan Long was silent for a moment, then said bitterly, "I'm not sure either. This immortal object is damaged, its immortal patterns severed. I don't know who shattered it—too terrifying."

"But this immortal object belongs to the little divine herb," Yang Tian said, glancing at the little divine herb's tear-streaked face, murmuring.

"Its origin is becoming more and more terrifying. This ancient jade cannot be taken by the innate god and demon. Their auras are incompatible. Even if taken, it cannot exert its power."

Just as his words fell, the ancient jade suddenly trembled. The filthy aura floating around it shot out strands of divine rays, extremely terrifying, directly piercing through the filthy luster.

The ancient jade floated in endless mist, its true form unclear. It grew more and more terrifying, with immortal patterns flowing through heaven and earth, as if the Dao of Heaven was operating, sending chills down one's spine.

"Little Jade is awake." Seeing this, the little divine herb suddenly exclaimed in delight.

Hearing this, Yang Tian looked over with a grave expression. Inside the ancient jade, a terrifying fluctuation seemed to be awakening. The divine rays it shot out were sparkling and crystalline, wreathed in endless immortal radiance, mysterious and terrifying.

"Suppress it for me!" Seeing this, the innate god and demon roared, and the divine blood floating in the air became terrifying, beginning to press down.

Buzz!

The ancient jade trembled, emitting a sky-shaking chant, like a vast sea roaring, shaking the ten directions.

The immortal object had awakened, extremely terrifying. It broke free from the demon's suppression and shot toward the little divine herb.

The ancient jade flowed with the aura of time, extremely terrifying. It traversed the void, and the world seemed to freeze, appearing directly above the little divine herb's head.

"What's going on!" Seeing the ancient jade so close, Yang Tian exclaimed in astonishment.

The little divine herb glowed all over, its body flowing with sacred aura, emitting divine rays as if about to ascend to immortality. At this moment, carried by the ancient jade, it flew toward the ancestral well.
