234: What's wrong with becoming a demon?

"Mother Earth!"

"After all these years, you still refuse to let us go?"

Seeing the methods the young girl used, the dozen or so giants were filled with rage in their eyes. "Things have come to this point, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has long since revived, and we should also follow the trend and return to the world!"

"You actually still want to stop us?"

At the edge of the deep pit, Xia Fan, through his clone, also learned of the roars and fury of the dozen or so giants below. A look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes. "Mother Earth?"

"This name sounds a bit familiar, but what exactly is it..."

Among the information he knew, there was no introduction about the Mother Earth.

He had only heard the name of the Mother Earth once from a demon, and knew nothing else about her.

But that young girl, by the looks of it, was definitely not some ancient being. Moreover, if she really was the Mother Earth who could seal even a dozen Demon Kings, she wouldn't have been unable to defeat him just now.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan murmured, "It seems that the young girl, like the True Lord Successor, must have obtained some kind of inheritance and inherited the will of the Mother Earth."

"Earth Mother has always been benevolent!"

In the deep pit, the young girl, while reinforcing the energy shield, said coldly to the dozen or so giants, "Back then, Earth Mother sealed you here merely as a minor punishment, hoping that you would sincerely repent."

"But now it seems, you still haven't changed!"

As she spoke, her words were full of anger and disgust, but the movements of her hands never stopped. "Since that's the case, then you shall continue your long slumber!"

"With me here, you will never leave this place!"

Hearing this, the dozen or so giants all became furious, and some Demon Kings even charged at the energy shield, but unfortunately, they were the ones being suppressed and couldn't cause much commotion!

"Damn it!"

Seeing that they couldn't break through the seal, the dozen or so giants began to curse loudly. "You yellow-haired girl, how dare you do this! When This Lord gets out someday, This Lord will surely kill you!"

"One day, our demon race will rule the world and let you know that the so-called righteousness and evil are merely labels imposed by you hypocrites!"

"Ahhh, I'm going to kill you..."

The young girl ignored the furious Demon Kings and quickened the speed of her hand seals.

Soon, that layer of energy shield seemed to draw energy from this part of the earth, and its energy visibly solidified, eventually forming a thick crystal wall of energy.

At this moment, the outside aura could not pass through the energy shield, preventing those Demon Kings from perceiving it, and the roars of these Demon Kings could no longer be transmitted out.

After doing all this, the young girl flashed a few times and reappeared before Xia Fan's clone, now with a face full of resentment. "Demon Tiger King, in order to become stronger, you did not hesitate to devour demons and harm living beings!"

"Such actions will surely be rejected by the Heavenly Dao in the future!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the energy shield, seemingly able to reach the innermost Demon King. "Your future fate will be the same as theirs!"

The reason the young girl said this was because in ancient times, most cultivators achieved their realms and power through steady cultivation, step by step, never taking shortcuts by relying on other powers.

Those who devoured others, flesh and blood beings, were classified as devils, scorned by the world, and were always hunted down and killed.

The young girl also held this belief.

Therefore, she was extremely disgusted by Xia Fan's actions, unaware that the current world was like this: survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak.

"What a joke!"

Hearing these words, Xia Fan couldn't help but sneer, and through his clone, he shouted at the young girl, "If This Lord doesn't devour, does This Lord wait for others to devour This Lord instead?"

"What's the difference between that and waiting to die?"

Xia Fan knew in his heart that in this era of great struggle, where was there any immortal path inheritance to speak of?

Some ancient beings he had seen earlier either turned into evil devils or were suppressed and restrained by evil devils. In the end, it was still those evil devils who caused huge commotions and countless massacres!

In this world, wanting to cultivate according to the immortal path inheritance was simply a pipe dream.

Moreover, now everyone else was following the path of devouring, eager to advance a thousand li a day, fearing being surpassed by others and falling behind.

Under such circumstances, if he still thought about slowly waiting for time, becoming stronger little by little with the years, he would only end up as fish on someone else's chopping block!

Xia Fan, having lived another life, did not want to waste this great opportunity, nor did he want to change his cultivation direction from now on, and he never felt that he had done anything wrong!

"You devil, you are simply beyond saving!"

The young girl, hearing this, almost trembled with anger. After all, logically speaking, Xia Fan had killed so many demons, which could be considered eliminating harm for the people. However, his ideas went against the righteous path, so she could only say coldly, "You still don't have an ounce of remorse even now!"

"One day, you will be consumed by this choice and become a true devil!"

"As long as This Lord controls this power, what does it matter if This Lord becomes a devil?"

Xia Fan's clone still had an indifferent expression, but the look in his eyes was exceptionally firm.

From his rebirth until now, he firmly believed that his path was absolutely correct.

Benevolence?

When he was still a small fry in his previous life, he had seen many instances of people losing their lives due to benevolence.

Some people even gave up the opportunity to quickly become stronger for the sake of so-called benevolence, ultimately meeting a tragic end!

If, in the end, one always dealt with things with such benevolence, then what would one use to resist aggression?

Would it be to beg others not to devour oneself?

"You... you..."

The young girl was truly speechless, and in the end, she just cursed fiercely, "You are beyond saving!"

A deep look of disgust appeared on her face. At this moment, she didn't want to say anything more to the Demon Tiger King. She took one last look at the seal she had personally reinforced, made sure there were no flaws, then raised her hand and pressed it towards the edge of the deep pit, before quickly leaving the place.

She felt that if she continued to argue with Xia Fan, she might not be able to help but explode.

Crucially, she still couldn't defeat him!

..."What's going on?"

In the central area of Mount Tai, Mahamayuri had been diligently guarding this spatial rift, preventing petty individuals from entering and disturbing his King.

Although he had let a young girl go earlier, it was because he was inferior in skill and dared not stop her.

At this moment, Mahamayuri saw that the crack in the sky was shrinking, but Xia Fan's figure had not appeared for a long time, making him extremely worried.

"He's been in there for so long, even this spatial rift is shrinking, and it will disappear soon..."

"Why hasn't the King come out yet!" (End of chapter)
