Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 232
Chapter 232: Dissecting the Demon
. Those fearing the unknown finally found their source.
“What is this thing?”
“It looks so strange! Where did it come from? Is it some unethical hybrid created by some madman at the Academy of Sciences, a hybrid of a human and a ferocious beast?”
“Where’s the army? Quickly send out the mecha troops to kill this thing. It’s obviously no good!”
“After I saw it, my fear grew stronger and stronger. A voice in my heart told me to run!”
“Mom, I want to find Mom.”
“The end of the world has finally arrived?”
The official website livestream caused a huge sensation, with countless comments flooding the screen.
The Mingzhong world has become able to translate thoughts into words, and comments are generated at an extremely fast rate.
The extraterritorial Sky Demon was smashed into the pit, inexplicably furious.
It wanted to kill, to destroy, to burn itself.
“Roar—”
A roar like an ancient beast resounded through the sky, the sound waves forming a visible shockwave that spread outward.
Its roar was enough to raze the entire continent to the ground, and Mingzhong and his men had no means of resistance!
“Disperse.”
With a single word, the sound waves solidified, collapsed, and dissipated.
“I haven’t seen this thing in decades. I didn’t expect to see it here today.” Jiang Li gazed at the alien demon with interest. It looked like nothing he had ever seen before.
“How old are you?”
“Roar—”
It was no wonder Jiang Li hadn’t realized there were intelligent, scheming alien demons lurking in Kyushu. The alien demons he had seen were all like this: irrational, unable to communicate, like wild beasts.
“I just wonder if a celestial immortal-level alien demon looks like this.”
The alien demon’s eyes were bloodshot. Upon seeing Jiang Li, it was about to attack, regardless of the difference in strength.
However, before it could raise its hand, Jiang Li’s invisible hand grasped it.
Bai Hongtu was right. Before Jiang Li, the alien demon had no chance.
Before Jiang Li, those at the Fusion Stage, the Tribulation Stage, and even the Earthly Immortal Stage were no different.
When he had fought with the Xumi Buddha before, it was out of consideration for their friendship, not wanting him to suffer a disgraceful defeat.
Jiang Li never held back against an alien demon!
The Outer Demon exerted all its might, but still couldn’t break free. It roared in rage, creating another sonic shockwave.
“Disperse.”
The sonic shockwave dissipated again.
A massive four-armed golem, larger than a city, emerged from behind the Outer Demon. The four heavy objects in its hands were transferred to the golem’s hands.
“What, what is this, a holographic projection?”
People had only seen this kind of scene in movies, where magic could explain it away. But how could this thing appear in real life?
Although it claimed to be a holographic projection, people had a vague feeling that it was a physical object.
One as large as an entire city.
The golem was arrogant, seemingly omnipotent. Indeed, it was so powerful that if it waved its four arms, even the stars in the sky would fall, transforming into streams of fire and consuming the world.
Jiang Li blasted the golem to pieces with a single punch and sneered, “That’s all?”
“Uncle Jiang?” Daoist Master Yu Youxian, the most popular live streamer of the moment, recognized Jiang Li.
Although she had never met Jiang Li, she had seen his statue.
Jiang Li’s strength completely dispelled everyone’s fear. Some noticed Yu Youxian and began to inquire about the figure at the center of the battlefield.
This was an official livestream, impossible to fake. People were deeply interested in Jiang Li, eager to know his identity.
Without permission, Yu Youxian dared not reveal all that had happened in Jiuzhou, hoping to get away with it.
Bai Hongtu contacted his apprentice and, upon learning the situation, waved his hand, “Ming Zhong has agreed. Speak freely.”
Reassured, Yu Youxian began to explain the battle: “I heard about Uncle Jiang and the Outer Demon from Master, but it’s not necessarily accurate. Uncle Jiang’s name is Jiang Li. In our Jiuzhou world, he’s the Human Emperor, a Mahayana cultivator, the strongest being in Jiuzhou, and has slain the Outer Demon numerous times.”
“The term ‘battlefield’ isn’t quite accurate. We don’t usually call a one-sided battle a battlefield…”
It was indeed a one-sided battle. After the golem was shattered, the Outer Demon repeatedly tried to resist, but Jiang Li held him in his grasp, preventing him from performing any moves, not even self-immolation.
“Old Bai, would you like to try a few moves?” Jiang Li suggested.
Seeing the Outer Realm Demon like a puppet in Jiang Li’s hands, Bai Hongtu figured he could do it too, and took up the fight with his sword.
“The one with the bruised face and nose is my master, Bai Hongtu, the Sect Master of Dao Sect. He’s at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and in my opinion, the second most powerful person in Jiuzhou.” Yu Youxian tried her best to save her master’s image, but it was probably a bit difficult.
“My master is truly powerful. The reason he didn’t show it so clearly is because the Outer Realm Demon is even stronger, an Immortal-level being. Do you know what an Immortal is? It’s a being that can freely roam the void and travel through worlds. Only Uncle Jiang can guarantee victory.”
“Oh no! This is a live stream! Jiang Li, you’re screwing me!” Bai Hongtu came to his senses and cursed Jiang Li, a jerk.
Bai Hongtu was indeed powerful, a major level below an Earth Immortal, yet he still had the power to destroy an Immortal and injure the Outer Realm Demon.
“Turn off the live stream. We’ll have to autopsy it later.” Jiang Li approached, carrying the Outer Realm Demon.
“It’s still alive,” Ming Zhong turned off the live stream, cautiously reminding Jiang Li.
“Outer Demons automatically dissipate upon death, leaving behind not even a trace of their remains.” Jiuzhou repeatedly attempted to dissect an Outer Demon, but discovered it could only be dissected while alive; once dead, nothing remained.
Even defeating it was difficult, let alone capturing it alive.
Until Jiang Li appeared, his unparalleled skill defied all odds, capturing the first living Outer Demon.
People then discovered they couldn’t understand the Outer Demon’s structure, and even the Immortal Elder Changcun expressed his helplessness.
“I’ve told you everything about the Outer Realm Demon. This is the conclusion reached by the Immortal Realm through long-term research. No matter how much you study, you can never surpass the
Immortal Realm’s research.” These were the words of Immortal Elder Changcun.
Jiang Li, however, felt that the Immortal Realm had studied the Outer Realm Demon in depth, but Immortal Elder Changcun might not know everything. They might even gain unexpected insights,
perhaps revealing the coordinates of the Immortal Realm hidden within its belly.
Only Jiang Li could control the Outer Realm Demon, and he had to keep it close to him. Jiang Li couldn’t possibly keep it leashed around.
So, he decided to dissect it.
Jiang Li summoned all the knowledgeable cultivators in Jiuzhou, including Taoist Tianming, Immortal Elder Changcun, and Bai Xueling. They borrowed immortal artifacts and rocks from other mountains to serve as tools, and together they dissected the Outer Realm Demon.
The number of cultivators in the Fusion Stage of the Mingzhong World had rapidly increased, multiplying several times.
“Outlander demons look different, and their internal structures are different too. This one’s heart and spirit altar are integrated.”
“There are so many arms. Let’s dissect the arms first… Disgusting! There’s no bone or flesh inside, just eyes.”
Bai Xueling nearly vomited. She cut open the skin on her arm, revealing eyeballs stuffed inside.
Without even looking up, Tianming Daoren said, “Be content. The last time you weren’t here, that Outlander demon’s skin was even sewn together with its face, with its facial features facing inward, so you couldn’t tell from the outside. It had a human face, a dog’s face, a monkey’s face, and so on. And its body wasn’t muscle, just tiny hands less than half an inch long… It didn’t seem to have genitals. Immortal, don’t Outlander demons have males and females? Wasn’t the last one female?”
“It depends on luck. Some have, some don’t.”
“Why did you call me here?” Ji Zhi looked confused. How could he understand this?
Jiang Li rolled his eyes. “I didn’t expect you to draw any conclusions. This Outlander demon wouldn’t have arrived so coincidentally. Someone must have summoned it through some ritual. Go back in time and see who used what means.”
