Chapter 434: Early Birth, Two Dominant Personalities, I'Ll Let You Out Now

The mountain in front was not high, but many Buddhist sutras were inscribed on it to suppress the Demonic Energy here. However, Chosen Monk Jin Chan couldn't just fly over. He needed to climb to the top of the mountain and take off the Zen Robe himself.

With a sincere look on his face, he walked towards the mountain with the Buddhist bone radiating bursts of Buddha aura to fight against the terrifying Demonic Energy here in his hand. None of the arrays on the ground fazed him as he sped his way through. Although he was walking, he had already reached the foot of the mountain in just an instant.

He felt the eyes of the demoness on him, but he was at ease after knowing that she could not step out of the sealed place.

"I shall leave this place after obtaining the Zen Robe. Please, do remain here at ease," he said with a natural expression, regardless of whether she could hear him.

The Demon-Burying Abyss was bound to become a place of concern for many forces. When the time came, there would definitely be many experts who would come to rebuild the seal to prevent the demoness from breaking out of the seal. Otherwise, the Upper Realm would have to prepare itself for a terrible disaster.

The demoness in red still seemed confused after hearing the words. She didn't know what Chosen Monk Jin Chan's intention was. To her, that Zen Robe was something that could provide her with a little warmth in the dark underground. It was only when she was close to that Zen Robe that she could feel a sense of peace. However, she never understood what this emotion was. All she knew was that the Zen Robe was helpful to her, but the person in front of her now wanted to take it away.

She was suddenly hit by a wave of uneasiness. The next moment, a glaring hostility appeared in her befuddled eyes, and it even turned cold and indifferent as she saw red. Immediately, something startling happened in the Demon-Burying Abyss again, the terrifying malic covered the sky, and many stars and continents outside trembled like they were about to fall. Countless cultivators and Ox Spirits were horror-stricken then.

"What's going on inside?"

"Did the seal loosen?"

Jiang Chuchu and everyone else who were waiting outside the Demon-Burying Abyss were watching this scene in shock. Chosen Monk Jin Chan was also stunned, but he kept moving along.

He already knew that the demoness in red was not in good condition. In his previous life, it was because of sympathy that he messed up his Buddha Heart by stealing the Buddhist Mountain's most valuable treasure, the Zen Robe, to try to expel her demonic nature. But the moment he was about to approach her, she pointed at the centre of his eyebrows and pierced through his head, killing him on the spot. For that reason, his Buddha Heart was more stable in this life. He only wanted to take the Zen Robe and leave this place without concerning himself with the demoness in red.

The Zen Robe was the treasure of the Buddhist Mountain. There was even a saying that it was not a thing of this world. Of course, such a precious item had no reason to be in a place like this.

*Chi!*

The terrifying fluctuations came again, and Ah Dazzling brilliance erupted here. The demoness in red seemed to want to come out, but she had no way to resist the mighty power with the arrays under her feet. Even with this level of pain, her expression did not change one bit, and she was still trying to forcibly break out.

There was a terrifying energy floating on her fair hand as countless Principles were evoked. At this moment, there was even Primal Devouring Chaos condensing, but it was difficult to release it.

Even so, with this, the arrays that held her seemed to be weakening.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chosen Monk Jin Chan sped up again as he climbed towards the top of the mountain. His Buddhist Bone was emitting a radiant brilliance like a bright lamp.

However, a terrifying energy rushed over from a distance. It was a red spear stained with blood that had pierced through the void. It was shot in Chosen Monk Jin Chan's direction.

*Boom!* This place exploded all of a sudden as runes filled the sky. The faces of many monks fell abruptly when they saw this. They tried to resist, but they ended up being blown away by the wave and coughing up blood. It only took a split second for them to be severely injured.

"Who!?" Chosen Monk Jin Chan was also startled by the sudden attack. As his cold eyes stared into the far distance, he saw a figure in a tattered black battle suit stalking over. The figure was glowing, but its energy was eerie. Its eyes seemed to be ablaze, and the figure felt as though it was dripping with prestige and power. Seeing the figure only further turned the monk's face darker.

[It's in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm!] Chosen Monk Jin Chan felt the majestic pressure, and as its figure approached him. It felt like the mountains and seas collapsed, and they submerged him.

The blow earlier obviously came from this figure, and it was intended to kill the monks behind Chosen Monk Jin Chan.

Someone in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm could hardly find anyone they could call their worthy opponent in the Demon-Burying Abyss. Even the most powerful monk Chosen Monk Jin Chan brought this time was only in the Sacred King Realm. The blow just now had already caused heavy damage. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have been pierced by the opponent's spear and killed right there and then.

However, Chosen Monk Jin Chan's expression was soon replaced by one of disbelief when he noticed the familiar figure behind the attacker—Gu Changge.

"Brother Gu, what is the meaning of this?"

Face glum, Chosen Monk Jin Chan couldn't make sense of what sort of relation Gu Changge had with the black figure. He also couldn't understand what Gu Changge was up to. However, he didn't notice that with the arrival of Gu Changge, the bewildered eyes of the demoness in red within the arrays gradually gained focus. Although she was still dazed and disorientated, her unwavering eyes were now on Gu Changge.

"M-Master..." she mumbled incoherently. No one other than Gu Changge could understand her words.

Despite that, Gu Changge didn't react. He made it seem as though he hadn't seen her. Instead, he kept staring at Chosen Monk Jin Chan. [As expected, she isn't in her best state of mind after being sealed away for so long. Still, no matter if she is calm, or violent and murderous, she is not someone ordinary people could get close to. Her strength is so terrifying that even a True Daoist would not have the courage to face her. They would scamper away. I guess this is just how fearful she is. So feared that it seeps into one's soul. But, this is good news for me.]

"Are you planning to break the seal here and release this Demoness, Chosen Monk Jin Chan?" Gu Changge lightly asked, his eyes falling on the Zen Robe behind Chosen Monk Jin Chan as he walked in its direction.

The black figure was a few steps behind him, following him respectfully. This was the figure who tried to surrender and follow him in front of the sea of blood before. With its strength, it was the powerful, irrefutable ruler of this place. Furthermore, in order to make things easier for Gu Changge, he named it Ah Da.

Chosen Monk Jin Chan's face fell, but he quickly realised that Gu Changge had told the figure to attack him because he had misunderstood his intentions. Still, now wasn't the right time for him to question the black figure's identity.

"It's a misunderstanding, Brother Gu. I wasn't trying to break the seal—" He was about to explain, but Gu Changge didn't give him a chance to continue speaking. Gu Changge's face was indifferent when he suddenly raised his hand and slapped forward. With a bang, Chosen Monk Jin Chan Buddha was sent flying and coughing up blood, his body almost exploding. If it weren't for his Buddhist Bone emitted a faint Buddha aura around his hands at the critical moment, blocking Gu Changge's attack, he would have died from the blow earlier.

"You are a monk, but you have such vicious intentions... You even want to remove the Zen Robe used to seal this place off to release the Demoness and bring disaster to the world? I'm very disappointed in you, Chosen Monk Jin Chan!" Gu Changge mentioned in a cold and indifferent tone.

"Gu Changge, you—" Chosen Monk Jin Chan coughed up blood and struggled to get up from the ground with a wretched expression. The Buddha aura in his body glowed as he tried to repair the injury from the blow that almost killed him. He didn't know if he could take another hit even if he had his Buddha Bone. And yet, he didn't know if Gu Changge was really mistaken, or if he was planning to kill him off here. This made his heart turn cold.

He took out an artifact from Buddhist Mountain, the Demon-Killing Staff. This treasure contained the power of killing demons. He wouldn't be able to fully activate it with his current strength, but it could at least provide him with a little protection.

"What about me?" Gu Changge hummed and strode ahead. It was as though he intended to kill Chosen Monk Jin Chan here. "I had a feeling you were hiding something, Chosen Monk Jin Chan. It turns out you came here with the intention of releasing this Demoness!"

Chosen Monk Jin Chan's face continued to fall when he saw how far Gu Changge was going. "Don't sling mud at me, Gu Changge! I am only here to retrieve a treasure that belongs to Buddhist Mountain!"

"Oh? That's a good excuse. You have to release the Demoness in order to get back the treasure though." There was a faint hint of mockery in Gu Changge's smile, but his eyes remained unperturbed.

Seeing this left the rest of the monks in shock. They didn't think Gu Changge would appear and try to kill Chosen Monk Jin Chan. As they thought that Gu Changge had misunderstood Chosen Monk Jin Chan wanting to break the seal, they started to step out to stop the fight. "Protect the Chosen Monk!"

*Boom!* A wave of brilliant Buddhist sutras rose and, like a star that had fallen, turned the void crystal clear and holy. However, Ah Da only glanced at them as if he was watching mere ants, and then the terrifying wave of the spear sent all of them flying. He chose not to kill without Gu Changge's instruction.

"They should be punished for colluding with that Demoness, trying to cause chaos in the world. Kill them," Gu Changge casually instructed. He had no intention of showing mercy. Like before, he thrusted a palm at Chosen Monk Jin Chan in front of him.

Like angry thunder, the Demon-Killing Staff in Chosen Monk Jin Chan's hand emitted A dazzling Buddha aura as it tried to counter Gu Changge's blow. However, the gap in strength between the two was too great, and Chosen Monk Jin Chan was blown away in an instant. He kept coughing up blood as his body almost exploded.

Not even the Demon-Killing Staff could withstand the blow from Gu Changge's palm. With his grave injuries, none of his means to counterattack was useful in the face of true power.

The rest of the monks were no match for Ah Da at all. Killing them was no different from annihilating ants. In an instant, their souls had exploded into nothingness.

"It seems that the commotion in the Demon-Burying Abyss is related to Buddhist Mountain," Gu Changge commented while landing another blow. However, Chosen Monk Jin Chan was very decisive this time. With chills all over his body, he put both the Demon-Killing Staff and his Buddhist Bone to use when he saw Gu Changge's ruthless attack.

At the same time, array records were summoned, and a huge Buddha Lotus bloomed as terrifying energy emerged. He continued to cough up blood as he quickly fled and disappeared in it. He knew that he would definitely die at Gu Changge's hands here if he didn't choose to escape. At this point, he no longer dared to retrieve the Zen Robe. Surprisingly, Gu Changge didn't go after him. He only calmly watched on with indifferent eyes.

[You won't be able to take the blame if you don't run away anyway.] In fact, he hadn't planned to kill Chosen Monk Jin Chan here. After all, both the seal here in the Demon-Burying Abyss had to be broken, and the demoness in red had to be able to emerge ahead of time. This kind of event was bound to cause an uproar in the Upper Realm and it would be troublesome for him if there hadn't been someone he could put the blame on.

At the moment Chosen Monk Jin Chan escaped from this place, Gu Changge looked at Chan Honyi, and there were slight changes in his expression when he walked towards her. The little girl who liked to wear red, and would timidly tug on the hem of his clothes from his memories had now overlapped with the woman in front of him.

Seeing him, the demoness tried to walk out of the arrays. But when she got close to him, a scorching and terrifying energy suddenly swept over her, making a sizzling sound from her body. The pain, however, didn't stop her from stubbornly moving towards Gu Changge. She was dead-set on walking out through the seal.

*Chi!* Even though the horrifying sound grew more piercing as green smoke wafted in the air, it was as though there was a Heavenly Barrier stopping her from moving forward. She couldn't help the sad look on her face then. Gu Changge also noticed the scars on her hands from when she touched the arrays just now. They might have healed quickly, but they were still terrifying to look at.

None of the arrays in front of him could stop him. As long as he wanted to, he could destroy them at any time. Although it was laid by the Demon Lord then, he and the Demon Lord were essentially the same being. Thus. he could easily destroy the arrays.

Soon after, Gu Changge spoke in an ancient and obscure language, "I'll let you out now. You're free from now on."

Chan Honyi cocked her head to the side, her silky locks drooping. Even though she understood what he meant, her expression still looked confused. She then stretched out her fair and clean hand to test the arrays in front of her, but there was still a burst of brilliance that let out a terrifying hissing sound as a puff of green smoke appeared.

However, she seemed to have gotten used to the pain. All she did was look at her hand with a blank gaze before her eyes slowly fell on Gu Changge's face again. She felt she had forgotten many things, but the person she was looking at used to be very important to her.

[In her current state, she might attack me immediately if the arrays are destroyed and the hostile Demonic energy isn't here. She might be out of sorts now, but she has another personality that wants to destroy me.] Gu Changge looked pensive as he fell into his thoughts. He had seen Chan Honyi's other personality just now. If it wasn't for the arrays here which wiped away her hostility, she definitely wouldn't have held back against him.

Thinking of this, Gu Changge still decided to give it a try. But before that, he went to get the Zen Robe sealed on the top of the mountain. This item was effective in suppressing Chan Honyi's hostility. He had to acquire it first.

Many wisps of Buddha aura intertwined and finally turned into a majestic and vast force that swept in all directions. As soon as the Zen Robe was loosened, the countless Buddha's images in this place disappeared immediately, and the Buddha's voice permeating everywhere finally returned to the Zen Robe.

Gu Changge had to admit that this piece of Buddhist Mountain's treasure was extremely mysterious and profound. Anyone would feel peaceful, and the hostility would dissipate as long as one was close to it.

At the moment Gu Changge took away the Zen Robe, all the arrays inscribed in the void and between the four walls collapsed and disappeared with a thought in his head. The seal had been broken.

The chilling sound of thousands of great demons wailing could be heard in the Demon-Burying Abyss. As if feeling something horrifying would happen, all the great demons began to flee. A vast and terrifying Demonic Energy suddenly soared into the sky, making it tremble.

The starry sky, within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometres, went dark the next moment. The dim stars and red clouds in the sky were enough to make this a shocking scene. Many cultivators of the various forces were left frozen. It frightened them to see the red cloud billowing in the distant sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The moment Gu Changge finished doing this, he felt a surge of hatred and murderous aura envelop him. Chan Honyi stood where she was, the confusion in her eyes disappeared as coldness filled them. Even her pupils were dyed blood red. As her hair fluttered, the terrifying hostility which seemed to have been accumulated for countless years erupted like a mountain flood. The earth-shattering force felt like it could shake up time itself.

At this moment, all she could see was Gu Changge, and she only had one thought in her head...

[Kill him.]

However, the void in front of Gu Changge cracked open before she could make a move. He had anticipated this and summoned Ah Da. Swiftly, he turned around and left. Even without him, the seal here would break and dissipate within half a year, and Chan Honyi would emerge from this place. The Zen Robe did have a miraculous effect on suppressing her hostility, but in conjunction with the arrays here, Gu Changge did not want to take any risks. He was sure a disaster was waiting to happen once he got close to Chan Honyi at this time. Now that he sped up her emergence by half a year, it made things much easier.

The personality dominating Chan Honyi's now was already the indelible hatred in the deepest part of hell. After seeing Gu Changge disappear, her expression didn't change at all. Instead, she remain cold and heartless, and she didn't make any moves.

The next moment, she suddenly opened her mouth and stared at the bottom of the abyss. A huge wave of Demonic Energy and demonic entities gathered towards her like a river flowing into the sea. There were also a rush of spiritual energy, heavenly mist, and Dao Energy among all the others that gushed into the Demon-Burying Abyss. This was an incomparably overbearing method to plunder everything in the world.

The starry sky went dim, and the large expanses of stars seemed to be swept away at this moment, leaving only barrenness in the blink of an eye. It was also only in that instant that the lives of all the Ox Spirits and monks were devoured.

[Chan Honyi's mind and soul are damaged, and her memory and mind are confused. One of her personalities is left with remembrance, and the other is with hatred. It's good that she can't think like ordinary people at the moment. Otherwise, she would have easily uncovered my current identity. I'll let her blow off some steam for now.]

After Gu Changge left the bottom of the abyss, he went to find Jiang Chuchu and the others to meet up and leave the Demon-Burying Abyss. There were some things that he didn't need to explain to her. She could make a rough guess of the situation herself.

"Chosen Monk Jin Chan escaped from the teleportation array after being severely injured earlier. Does what happened in the Demon-Burying Abyss have something to do with him?" Jiang Chuchu asked. She was about to take down Chosen Monk Jin Chan, but he was cautious as he blasted her away with the Demon-Killing Staff and fled into the distance without stopping. Worried that something would happen to Gu Changge at the bottom of the abyss, she decided not to chase after the monk.

Gu Changge shook his head before he explained things in his own words. "The Buddhist Mountain once used a treasure to seal a Demoness at the bottom of the Demon-Burying Abyss, but Chosen Monk Jin Chan intended to take that treasure away regardless of the consequences. He planned to release her. I saw what he was going to do and fought him, but he managed to escape despite being severely injured."

He also told her about how an abbot of the Floating Buddhist Temple once stole a Buddhist treasure, and how he left it at the bottom of the abyss. According to Gu Changge, the reincarnation of the former abbot of the Floating Buddhist Temple was Chosen Monk Jin Chan, who was caught up in his stubbornness to release the Demoness sealed in the Demon-Burying Abyss.

Jiang Chuchu couldn't help feeling restless after hearing this. It seemed that the horrible, unusual fluctuations just now was a sign that the Demoness of the Demon-Burying Abyss had emerged half a year earlier...
