Chapter 49: Demonic Pagoda Appears

"Xihuang World! This world is great, kid, thank you for letting me be reborn. What reward do you want?"

The demon in the form of Rāhu suddenly burst out with a tremendous pressure that shook the world. Under this pressure, it seemed that even the heavens would surrender!

Zhang Qian's face changed. This pressure was exactly the same as the pressure from Luohou that he had sensed in the prehistoric world. After hearing what Luohou said, Zhang Qian's heart even began to beat faster. He vaguely felt that the other party might really be the Demon Ancestor Luohou.

The demon clan was born from the demon ancestor Rāhu. Legend has it that as long as there is a demon alive, Rāhu will not die and will be reborn.

"You...you are really Luohu? This is impossible!"

As the pressure from Luohou became stronger and stronger, a trace of doubt arose in Zhang Qian's heart. It was this trace of doubt that collapsed his belief that everything was false. Then he was pressed to the ground by the indescribable pressure, unable to move.

"Impossible, could it be that the legend is true, and Luohou can really be resurrected by the demon?"

Blood oozed from the corner of Zhang Qian's mouth, and a sense of fear gradually rose in his heart.

Luohou gently stretched out his hand towards Zhang Qian, and a tremendous suction force was generated, sucking Zhang Qian directly over.

Zhang Qian struggled desperately, but couldn't get free at all.

"Don't waste your energy. I, Luohou, roam the wilds of the wilderness, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot destroy me. As long as the Heavenly Demon Clan is not destroyed, anyone who faces the Heavenly Demon will remember my name, and I will be reborn immediately. Hongjun is far from being able to kill me! You are just a tiny ant, how dare you resist me!"

At this moment, Luohu's aura became domineering and boundless, as if he was the supreme being in the heavens.

Zhang Qian's heart sank, because what Luohou said was exactly the same as in the legend.

"No...no, it's all fake. You are a fake. I don't believe it!"

The crack in Zhang Qian's heart grew bigger and bigger, and he already began to believe it. The key was that the pressure and magical powers unleashed by Luohou were too terrifying, real and true, and directly covered the heaven and earth.

"Hmph, what is true? What is false? If you dare to doubt me, you will die!"

Luohou clenched his hands, and an immense force that could crush the universe erupted. Zhang Qian's body shook violently, and he vomited blood wildly, and was about to turn into a pool of meat paste.

In a flash, Zhang Qian was about to let go of the restless jade fragment and make the black pagoda flying in the jade fragment appear, so as to escape from the current danger, but he saw the surrounding scene out of the corner of his eye and saw that the ground was still in the shape of gold bricks, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"You are fake, not real, you can't fool me. The real Luohou's pressure can destroy the small world, but now this world has not changed at all!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhang Qian felt a surge of confidence in his heart, and that trace of fear slowly dissipated. As the fear dissipated, Zhang Qian felt that the big hand that Luohou had manifested was gradually losing its strength.

Bang!
Zhang Qian fell to the ground and hurriedly swallowed a healing pill. He calmed his mind and immediately felt that his character had become more complete, harmonious and transparent, and he had made considerable progress.

The key point is that he felt his deep fear of Luohou gradually dissipated. This fear had been hidden in the deepest part of Zhang Qian's heart. He didn't want to think about it, but now this experience made him feel inexplicably relieved as if he had broken through and then stood up again. The fear of Luohou finally dissipated, and there was also less crack in his own heart and mind.

"Is this what it means to temper one's character? It really works, but it's too dangerous. I almost had to use my trump card."

Just now, Zhang Qian almost believed that the person opposite him was the real Luohou who was reborn. The more he believed it, the greater harm Luohou could cause him. On the contrary, as long as Zhang Qian firmly believed that Luohou was fake, he would not be harmed at all.

However, the most difficult thing in this world is nothing more than the word "faith". Facing the extremely real illusion of the devil and the most feared thing in your heart, it is not easy without even a trace of self-doubt.

hum!
At this moment, the demon who looked like Rāhu on the opposite side suddenly roared angrily, and a divine spear with murderous aura appeared in his hand.

The shaft of this spear was silver-white and the tip was blood-red, exactly like the god-killing spear that could kill saints in Zhang Qian's memory.

Puff!

Before Zhang Qian could take a closer look, the God-killing Spear, filled with murderous aura, stabbed towards him.

fast!
Incredibly fast!

When fighting against the devil, once you fall into the devil's illusion and start to doubt yourself, it will be impossible to defeat him.

It is true that there is no possibility of victory unless you eliminate the self-doubt in your heart.

Just because of one thing, the speed of the devil's attack is the fastest in the world, and there is nothing faster than it.

The fastest thing in the world should be the light of stars, the speed of which is unattainable.

However, there is something that is countless times faster than light, and that is thought. For example, Zhang Qian now thought of the scene in Xingyunzhou, and his mind turned to Zushenzhou, which is billions of miles away. His thought is equivalent to going from Xingyunzhou to Zushenzhou in an instant.

The speed at which the devil attacks is so fast. The devil is invisible and formless. Once he attacks, he kills with his thoughts, leaving no place for people to hide.

Zhang Qian didn't want to hide either. He knew that he was still in the illusion of the Heavenly Demon. With the Heavenly Demon's attack speed comparable to that of thoughts, there was no way he could dodge.

Facing the murderous God-killing Spear, Zhang Qian simply closed his eyes and refused to look at it. He was resolute in his faith and had no fear at all. He just silently said, "It's fake, all fake. He can't hurt me. The real Luohou has been dead for a long time."

Chi!
With a slight sound, the God-killing Spear, filled with murderous energy, suddenly pierced through Zhang Qian's chest, and the blood-red tip of the spear emerged from behind him.

However, Zhang Qian's expression remained unchanged and he did not look injured at all.

"As long as I firmly believe that everything is fake, you can't hurt me at all."

With a slight smile, all the fear in Zhang Qian's heart disappeared. Even though the demon opposite him still looked like the Demon Ancestor Rāhu, he became very calm instead.

"Humph! Go away! I have been guarding the First Palace for so many years, and you are the first person who can see through the illusion so quickly. But it won't be so easy when you go to the Second Palace."

The demon on the opposite side moved and stopped attacking, obviously acknowledging that Zhang Qian had passed the first palace.

“If I hadn’t been restricted by Shangyuan Bajing Palace, you wouldn’t have passed so easily.”

This demon was still somewhat unwilling, but unfortunately he was restricted by Shangyuan Bajing Palace and could not resist the magic formation in Shangyuan Bajing Palace. He could only let go according to the rules.

Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "Come on, let me go, I don't intend to let you go. Since I have already passed this first palace, you are useless."

"Hahahaha, arrogant, what do you want?"

Zhang Qian's aura suddenly changed, and he clasped his hands together to form a pagoda shape.

hum!
The void began to tremble inexplicably, as if some extremely ferocious creature was about to be born.

"I have attained great freedom, and all demons follow me! I am everywhere in the heavens and the worlds, capturing all the evil spirits and monsters!"

Zhang Qian closed his eyes and recited. His expression became extremely pious, yet with a hint of supreme arrogance.

"Demon Pagoda, come out!"

Boom!
As Zhang Qian shouted, the void trembled, and the broken jade in the depths of his soul moved, and a black nine-story pagoda suddenly appeared above his head. This pagoda looked very illusory, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind, and the whole pagoda seemed to be just a shadow.

Even so, as soon as this pagoda appeared, inexplicable sounds of ghosts crying and demons howling suddenly rang out in the void.

A strange demonic aura spread out from this extremely illusory pagoda, instantly covering the demon on the opposite side.

Bang!
The demon on the opposite side exploded directly and turned into an uncertain demon shadow.

Whoosh!
The Demon Pagoda above Zhang Qian's head turned slightly, sucking the demon in directly, and then suppressed it inside the pagoda.

"It's really amazing!"

Zhang Qian smiled with satisfaction. This pagoda was the Heavenly Demon Pagoda in the broken jade deep in his soul. As soon as he fell into the illusion of the Heavenly Demon, Zhang Qian felt the broken jade move.

The illusion of the Demonic Pagoda filled with demonic energy inside the broken jade vibrated, and was about to rush out of the broken jade. Zhang Qian still wanted to use the help of the Demonic Pagoda to temper his own character, so he could only suppress the pagoda and only receive the information instilled by the Demonic Pagoda.

This message was similar to the one instilled by the Zhuxian Sword before, but what the Zhuxian Sword instilled was the Zhuxian sword intent, while what the Heavenly Demon Pagoda instilled was a terrifying demonic magical power.

This magical power is called the Great Power of the Heavenly Demon Pagoda. It is simpler than Zhang Qian expected to use. He only needs to pinch the Heavenly Demon Seal with his hands and he can use his true energy to manifest an illusory Heavenly Demon Pagoda. This Heavenly Demon Pagoda contains a trace of the powerful and demonic charm of the real Heavenly Demon Pagoda.

As soon as he appeared, he easily subdued the demon on the opposite side.

The real Demonic Pagoda is the most precious magic treasure in the hands of the Demon Ancestor Rāhu. It is the treasure that he uses to control billions of demons. Its power is terrifying.

Although Zhang Qian could only trigger a trace of the true meaning of the Heavenly Demon Pagoda through this magical power, it was enough to subdue the Heavenly Demon on the opposite side.
