01x37 - Episode 37

[bunniefuu]

Now that Cang Jiumin
has returned to Barren Abyss

and Devil Palace
has been activated once again,

it won't be long

before the Devil God's return.

None of this would have happened

if both Hengyang and Xiaoyao Sects

hadn't shielded that evil being.

This is something unforgivable.

We are a leaderless group

in the face of a very powerful enemy.

As the chief of Chixiao Sect,

I'm happy to take on the leadership role.

What do you guys think?

Well…

You're absolutely right, Chief Cen.

Great Medicine Valley is at your service.

Resources Sect is with you too.

Good.

Now, chiefs,

get back
and gather your disciples at once.

I'll lead you all
to Barren Abyss in three days.

We'll take Cang Jiumin out.

See? They hate you to the core.

There's no place for you

other than Devil Palace in this world.

Chief Qu was k*lled.

This is bad.

Susu is in danger.

What's wrong?

What's on your mind?

Are you wondering

who k*lled Chief Qu?

Only three people were at the scene.

Chief Qu is dead.

Li Susu is unconscious
with serious injuries.

Only Dimian knows the whole story.

All immortal sects are convinced

that you were hiding Sky-Slashing Sword

and k*lled the chief.

They thought you stole the evil bone
trapped inside Li Susu

and returned here.

It was all you.

Why?

Take a guess.

To pin Chief Qu's m*rder

on me.

But why did you have to hurt Susu?

That wasn't us.

We would've brought her here too

if we knew that
the evil bone was inside her body.

However, it doesn't matter.

As long as we retrieve the evil bone

and insert it into your body,

my lord will be revived.

The Sky-Slashing Sword…

Dimian k*lled Chief Qu with the sword

and stole the bone afterward.

You're smart.

Cang Jiumin.

I suggest you let go of the past

and move on.

You wanted to be good,

but what was meant to be

had found its way to you.

The people you care about,

the people you love,

they are all going to die because of you.

Do you still remember what my lord said?

Cang Jiumin.

He'll join the immortal sect.

He'll mistakenly believe
he's capable of overcoming evil with good.

He'll bask in the warmth
of friendships and emotional bonds

only to realize it's all but a dream.

Susu has suffered terribly on my behalf

due to the evil bone.

Maybe Nian Baiyu was right.

Stop right there.

What?

I see it now.

I won't

be pushed around anymore.

You people kept telling me

that morphing into the Devil God
was my calling.

Fine. I'll accept my fate.

I'm glad you came around.

With Qu Xuanzi dead,

Cang Jiumin has gone,

and all immortal sects
focusing their attention

on exterminating the devil fetus,

I'm able to lay low

and take time to heal.

I've got luck on my side.

The evil bone has enormous power.

I can't fuse with it just yet

or it could backfire.

Now that I have the evil bone
and Sky-Slashing Sword,

I'll just have to wait

for the right time

to retrieve Bone-Refining Seal

and God-Slaughtering Crossbow.

Dimian, Susu is awake.

She's heartbroken.

Would you please go check on her?

It would be greatly appreciated.

Right. I almost forgot about Susu.

Hopefully, she hasn't
pieced it all together.

Susu.

Apologies, Father.

You came to see me.

It should've been the other way around.

Don't worry about it.

You're still grieving

over Chief Qu's death.

It's perfectly understandable
that you're too overwhelmed to visit me.

You already know what happened, don't you?

I did a terrible job

of protecting…

I, too, was stabbed by him.

Father.

Only you were there.

Can you tell me what really happened?

We were very close

to completing the formation.

Both Chief Qu and I were drained.

That was when

Cang Jiumin showed up out of nowhere.

I recognized his weapon.

It was the Devil God's Sky-Slashing Sword.

He attacked Chief Qu
and before I was knocked unconscious,

I saw him cast a spell on you

and walk off with something black.

Bone-Refining Seal

isn't the first devil weapon
I came into contact with.

There's also a devil crossbow

that has fused into my body.

Tantai Jin told me about
God-Slaughtering Crossbow himself.

If he had Sky-Slashing Sword,

he would've told me too.

If he did have the sword
and was truly determined to k*ll,

I don't think anyone
could have survived it.

Are you absolutely sure

that it was Sky-Slashing Sword?

I was once a leader of demons.

I know Sky-Slashing Sword when I see it.

I wish I was strong enough

to protect Chief Qu.

This helplessness reminds me

of my days back in the Devil Realm.

The devil fetus
is the root of the Devil God.

Nothing is going to change that.

I should've known
that he wasn't being sincere.

I was wrong

about him.

Susu.

You must cut him out of your life

and move on.

Don't repeat my mistake.

It's getting late.

I should probably go.

Rest well, Susu.

This is the only way to get to the truth.

Yaoguang, I need to see you.

This place looks even more lifeless

than it did 10,000 years ago.

How did you know that?

Are you questioning me?

Susu.

It's unsafe for you to be around Dimian.

I have to do this to keep you safe.

Are you two

all that I have?

What do you mean?

Ten thousand years ago,

Dimian changed sides

and worked against me
in league with the gods.

I want the evil bone returned

and him to welcome me on his knees

in front of Devil Palace
when I'm restored.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Master,

our scouts outside Barren Abyss
have reported back.

Jiumin is in Barren Abyss.

How is he?

Siying and Jingmie were bowing to him

as if they were serving him.

Those were their exact words.

Don't tell anybody about this.

Jiumin must have had his reasons.

However, right now,

those short-sighted fools
from Chixiao Sect

are calling the shots around here.

We are the only ones who trust Jiumin.

UNCLE ZHAOYOU, FROM LI SUSU

No, there's one more person.

Susu?

Father.

How is your recovery coming along?

Yaoguang told me that

you usually take care
of your own injuries.

I know a thing or two
about healing wounds.

I could examine yours.

I'm good.

I've been a demon for over 10,000 years.

My blood would contaminate you.

Well, I'm your daughter. I'll be fine.

I've lost one of my fathers.

All the more reasons to be there for you.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes.

All right.

I shall not let your filial piety
go unappreciated.

Come on in.

I'm just worried
that the nasty wound will scare you.

Why?

Is there something
you're afraid to show me?

Susu.

I've been around for 10,000 years,

yet our time spent together

was less than a tenth
of your time spent with Chief Qu.

I feel so guilty.

He was a busy man.

I didn't always get his attention.

However, he was noble and honest

and had a big heart.

Growing up
with such positive influences in my life

is truly the luckiest thing
to ever happen to me.

Yaoguang, did you examine
my father's wound?

Was he really stabbed
by Sky-Slashing Sword?

He said he has been a demon
for over 10,000 years

and heals himself
with his own demonic energy,

so I didn't examine it.

The wound…

It was caused by Father.

Susu.

Don't be scared.

They will find you

soon enough.

Dimian.

Where do you think you're going?

So it was a ploy by you

and my daughter?

That's right.

Dimian, you aren't
getting out of here today.

Hand the evil bone over.

Have you found the Devil Palace?

Cut the crap.

Hand the evil bone over

and I'll grant you an easy death.

Do you think

you can get the evil bone?

Don't waste time on this old man.

We can't let Dimian get away.

This is bad.

I received another wound before I healed.

This won't do.

They've found the Devil Palace.

I must absorb
the evil bone's power right off the bat

so that those two fools will get nothing.

MOUNT CHANGZE

Uncle Zhaoyou.

Uncle Zhaoyou.

Are you all right?

Come on.

Susu.

Just now,

Siying and Jingmie appeared.

Did they want to rescue Dimian?

They had the same goal as us,

which was to seize Dimian

and take back the evil bone.

Since we failed,

I'm sure Dimian will absorb
the evil bone at all costs.

I'm afraid that will be irrecoverable.

By the way,

where is Jiwu?

He heard that Chief Cen
and others had set out,

so he summoned the disciples
to catch up with them.

Jiwu has been troubled lately.

He'll be digging his own grave

by rushing to Barren Abyss.

That won't do.

Someone must stop him now.

-Then I'll go to stop Jiwu right now.
-All right.

Let's split up.

I'll go after Dimian.

MOUNT CHANGZE

-Welcome back, Devil God.
-Welcome back, Devil God.

-Welcome back, Devil God.
-Welcome back, Devil God.

-Welcome back, Devil God.
-Welcome back, Devil God.

-Welcome back, Devil God.
-Welcome back, Devil God.

-Welcome back, Devil God.
-Welcome back, Devil God.

My lord, we hardly made it.

Dimian got away.

Shall we send all the demons after him?

No.

Instead, I'll call them all back.

I'll command all the demons and devils

and revive Barren Abyss.

Dimian has left with the evil bone,

which means Susu is free from the turmoil.

She should be safe now.

Master won't let Dimian escape.

But this pair of devils and Barren Abyss…

If they get the evil bone back

and fuse it with my body…

I'll definitely not repeat

the advent of the Devil God.

No. Tantai Jin is up to something.

You two are my trusted aides.

Come with me into the palace.

Demons are gathering.

Something serious might happen.

The cloak
that Chongyu Harp transforms into

can temporarily make me
invisible to common demons

and help me get into Barren Abyss.

I hope I'm not too late.

Demons from all over the world

have gathered in Barren Abyss.

This is the right time.

-My lord.
-What's the matter?

You've been around for centuries.

Have you ever heard of Xiaoyao Sect's
Incarnation-Abandoning Array?

Cang Jiumin.

What are you trying to pull?

Cang Jiumin.

These runes only hurt demons.

It seems like an immortal technique.

My feet are stuck.

Cast away my incarnation

together with the Devil Realm.

If I die,

what else can you count on
to welcome your Devil God back?

Tantai Jin.

What exactly are you afraid of?

You actually tried
to take your own life like an idiot?

I'm not afraid.

You're the one who's afraid.

What a joke.

Do you think a perished incarnation
can prevent my return?

You think too highly of yourself.

Is that so?

Since the Devil God
has everything under control,

why bother advising me to stop?

Tantai Jin.

You chose to sacrifice your life so soon.

What a pity.

Tantai Jin.

Why did you choose to die?

Mingye?

So the Heart-Guarding Scale

still retained a sliver
of your divine consciousness.

That's right.

You've managed to awaken it again
by using the divine soul

to refine the Heart-Guarding Scale.

I see.

The Incarnation-Abandoning Array
is entering its last phase.

It's not too late for you to stop.

My very birth comes from
the Devil God's evil thoughts.

If my destruction

can save the world and its beings,

my existence won't be in vain.

Joys and sorrows of the world are no more

than the appearance
and disappearance of love.

Tantai Jin, you were born
for the Devil God's sake.

If so, what do you die for?

I know

that life is priceless,

but since my death

can prevent more deaths,

I prefer to safeguard this place.

I want to safeguard everything behind me,

just like how you wanted

to safeguard the Mohe River.

Once, you asked me

why I selected you
to enter my Fleeting-Life Prajna.

Do you understand now?

During that w*r,

the evil bone which was sealed away

fell into the mortal world
as the Pillar of Heaven scattered.

The Devil God will use the evil bone

to select a devil fetus
for his resurrection.

I had used up all of my divine power.

All I could do was to leave
my Fleeting-Life Prajna at the Mohe River.

Jize had seen shadows of both of you

in Sangjiu and me.

I knew

that you were certain to come.

Your death can't end
the Devil God's existence,

while your existence can start his death.

Now, I've done what I could.

Tantai Jin.

It's time for you to make a choice.

Our 10,000-year affinity ends here.

Farewell.

Monü.

What happened?

Without that protective artifact,

I'm afraid

we would already be dead by now.

Monü.

You were right.

Cang Jiumin is indeed full of tricks.

We must retrieve the evil bone

and awaken the Devil God.

Nian Baiyu.

Your master has been
deprived of cultivation.

I don't think he can play any more tricks.

Watch him closely.

We'll insert the evil bone into his body

and the Devil God will be resurrected

when we return after a few days.

As for your tribesmen,

they will all be free.

Did you smell that?

I think I smell humans.

Over there.

After her.

The entrance to Barren Abyss
is ahead of us.

Chief Cen, should we keep going?

Barren Abyss is where demons gather.

They know the terrain better than us.

If I send our disciples
into the abyss rashly,

I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy casualties.

However, the evil bone
and the devil fetus are at Devil Palace.

Demons everywhere are gathering here.

If this goes on,

the Devil God
will be resurrected in no time.

If he takes the chance
to activate All-Grieving Way,

everything will be too late.

Lord Liuzhi,
you're getting a little impatient.

How about this?

You can send your disciples into the abyss

and scout it out first.

I thank you on behalf of all sects.

-You…
-Back at Devil-Subduing Peak,

Hengyang and Xiaoyao Sects
vouched for the devil fetus.

Now it has escaped,
which has led to a disaster.

I'm willing to lead the two sects
to enter the abyss first.

We'll locate the devil fetus.

Chief Gongye.

I understand how eager you are

to make up for your mistake.

Although Hengyang Sect has made

an irredeemable mistake,

we cultivators always try
to be magnanimous.

I guess I'll have

to give you this chance.

Thank you, Chief Cen.

Notify us if you discover anything.

There are too few of you.

Don't fight them head-on.

Lord of Evil.

Devil God?

It's impossible.

I've already absorbed the evil bone.

It's mine now.

I'm the Devil God now.

Lord of Evil.

You didn't disappoint me after all.

Do you think you can replace me

and steal my powers

after absorbing the evil bone?

All greedy beings in the world

will end up as the vessel
of the evil bone.

You're mine now.

I'm not Siying.

I couldn't care less
about reviving the Devil God.

Now that you've lost all of your powers
and have no way to fight back,

why don't I just

eat you?

My lord, it's all my fault.

If you'd rather die than be the Devil God,

I'd definitely get you out of here.

I wouldn't be here today without Master.

However, besides him,

there was another person
I was greatly indebted to.

That person is you.

Back when I was still a hostage,

my siblings plotted against me.

I was injured and stranded.

You risked your life to find me,

helped me return to the Jing Kingdom
and ascend the throne.

Later,

when I lost all hope because of Ye Xiwu,

you risked your life again

-to save me from the fire.
-Your Majesty.

Without you,

there wouldn't be me.

I could never find her again

without your help.

I wouldn't take the credit.

It's the blessing

that you're born with.

Blessing?

I was born as the devil fetus
with the evil bone.

You call that a blessing?

In this vast Mount Changze,

there's no one else but you

who can drink with me now.

Who's sneaking around?

Your blood smells complex.

I haven't tasted this in quite a while.

It does taste special.

Loyalty, naivety,

recklessness,

and a bit of bitter guilt.

So are you here because of your loyalty

or your guilt?

I'm here to save my lord.

He took me as a friend,
but I betrayed him.

I must save him at the expense of my life.

Your blood contains the rich taste I love.

I shall grant you your wish then.

You're cunning indeed.

It's not easy to cultivate
for 1,000 years.

Set him free and I'll set you free.

Set me free?

I'll suck your blood dry.

My lord.

JIN

You can only turn into me.

So that was the life of the devil fetus?

I said let him go.

It tastes awful.

Your blood can absorb our demonic power.

Only the Devil God
is capable of this feat.

-You're truly the Devil God.
-Go.

However, you're a little different
from him.

Your blood contains

a slight sweetness
and a touch of sunshine.

Although it was a tiny bit,

I could taste them.

What was that?

Let's go.

My lord.

They're finally engaging us head-on.

You'd better escape

while Siying and Jingmie aren't around.

But they told you to keep an eye on me.

I shouldn't have believed what they said

and acted on my own initiative.

It's pointless to say this now.

Let's escape from this place first.

Okay.

You saved me
without telling Siying and Jingmie.

They will find out eventually.

What's your plan?

Worst-case scenario, I'll die here.

What about the people of Yiyue Tribe?

I can't just sit idly by

and let them k*ll you.

So this is your plan.

You're putting the whole tribe at stake

just to save me?

I'll escort you out first.

Then I'll think of something.

If I can't save them,

I'll die with them.

Let's figure out a solution together.

Thank you, my lord.

These people

are from my tribe as well.

Let's go.

-Be careful. You're hurt.
-I'm fine.

We've almost arrived.

The exit is right ahead.

Devil fetus, you're such a troublemaker.

I can't let them know
Nian Baiyu tried to save me.

-My lord, what are you doing?
-Go to hell.

You tried to kick down the ladder

even when you haven't escaped yet?

Those who betray me

will die.

Besides, he was willing to help me escape
after I intimidated him.

I won't keep cowards like him

by my side.

I was wondering

if that guy had a change of heart

after obeying my command

for so many years.

So it was you.

Now, I have one less obedient lackey.

Sorry about that.

How exactly did you get out?

The entire Devil Realm is my residence.

All demons and devils are my subjects.

Do you think you can trap me here?

Don't you think it's hilarious?

Siying spared your life
for our lord's sake.

But you?

You keep ruining my plan
over and over again.

Siying isn't here right now.

I'll k*ll you and leave your body intact.

This is more than enough.

Go.

You k*lled plenty of our men.

Now, they will seek their revenge.

Suck him dry!

Cang Jiumin.

We shouldn't have spared you.

Good.

You're finally willing to use
the powers of the devil.

That's how the Devil God should behave.

I need to get out of here.

What a pity.

He's just a husk after all.

Why don't we just k*ll him?

What's with the rush?

We haven't retrieved the evil bone yet.

Come on.

Let's bring that brat back.

Show yourself and beg for mercy.

Don't waste my time.

Otherwise,

I'll break all your bones when I find you.

Show yourself.

How can I escape?

Judging from the traces
left behind by the devil energy,

Dimian may have absorbed the evil bone.

If he returns to Devil Palace with it,

it will be too late.

Show yourself.

Give me your power.

My lord?

That was his voice.

Dimian is here?

This is the scent of the evil bone.

Help me.

The devil energy
is surging within his body.

Did he absorb the evil bone?

Run!

Jingmie!

This isn't enough.

Jingmie!

Run!

It's the evil bone.

The evil bone is absorbing energy.

Run quickly.

My lord.

Siying.

I still need more power to be resurrected.

That's the Devil God's voice.

Dimian is under the Devil God's control.

My lord.

Siying.

Are you not willing
to sacrifice yourself for my sake?

My lord, ever since you brought me back,

I had decided

to live and die

for your sake

for all eternity.

My lord, wait for me.

From now on,

I'm a part of you, my lord.

Siying.

Dimian has the evil bone.

No one can stop him now.

Is he heading to Devil Palace?

Is he going to activate All-Grieving Way?

This is too dangerous.

No way.

I have to inform
the immortal sects immediately.

What should I do?

I won't make it in time like this.

This warning bell was set up by Master.

If I trigger Stone Inscription Array,

the immortal sects
will notice it immediately.

This is the fastest way.

Hurry up.

Trigger the alarm.

This is great.

It's from the warning bell
by Barren Abyss.

The devil energy has triggered the array.

Tantai Jin.

We finally got you.

The devil fetus has appeared.

The evil bone
shouldn't have fused with him yet.

Everyone, initiate the form
together with me.

The Devil-Subduing Formation.

Gongye…

Chief Gongye,

I'm willing to lead
the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect

to capture Cang Jiumin alive.

-Chief Gongye.
-No.

He's Tantai Jin.

He's the devil fetus.

He k*lled Master and stole the evil bone.

He isn't the Cang Jiumin you know anymore.

Even today,

you still feel pity for the devil fetus.

The immortal sects of Four Continents

wouldn't have been forced
into such a predicament

if it weren't
for your womanly benevolence.

Why?

Where are they?

Chief Cen is right.

We can't make the same mistake again.

The immortal sects
mustn't show him any mercy.

Otherwise, other immortal sects

will be jeopardized.

Enough said.

This is the time to k*ll the devil fetus.

Tantai Jin.

You won't get away this time.

Why is no one coming here?

Stop Dimian

before it's too late.

Chief Cen is launching a lethal attack.

I want him to perish

and suffer a terrible fate.

I'll avenge my son's death.

Go and stop Dimian.

Don't let him activate All-Grieving Way.

Chief Gongye.

You were close to Jiumin.

How can you bear to do this…

Cang Jiumin never existed.

He has been the devil fetus all along.

He joined the immortal sect

just to retrieve the evil bone.

k*ll him. k*ll the devil fetus.

Tantai Jin.

You will pay with your life.

Why?

Why is no one coming?

Why?

I can't believe he got away.

He won't be able to get away.

Hengyang Sect, follow my order.

Follow me into Barren Abyss.

If you see Tantai Jin,

k*ll him on sight.

Let's go.

Get up.

Activate it for me.

Open the door

and activate All-Grieving Way.

My plan will come to fruition
after this step.

Siying.

Siying.

Who k*lled you?

Siying.

Wait for me.

Ten thousand years passed by in a flash.

The evil bone has finally returned
to where it belonged.
