The Breaking Defense of Tian Chan

"Since you were the one who broke the rules first, don't blame me!"

Tian Chan hovered high in the sky, her gaze fixed angrily on the fallen Heavenly Dao before her.

Because she controlled the power of the righteous path and could completely obliterate Evil Spirit Immortals, two Immortal Emperors were specifically keeping an eye on her. If she were to personally intervene... she would be entangled by the two Immortal Emperors, so she didn't dare to make the first move.

But it wasn't easy for an immortal capable of killing Evil Spirit Immortals to finally appear on her side, only to be struck down and killed by this fallen Heavenly Dao?

For an Immortal Emperor to personally intervene, they truly had no shame left.

However, the fallen Heavenly Dao in front of her remained silent, looking at her with a placid gaze.

Ever since this fallen Heavenly Dao was defeated by her last time, its strength had become even more unfathomable. It was likely that it had received help from the Evil Spirit Emperor after returning, and the Heavenly Dao power within its body had almost completely corrupted into the path of evil spirits.

It had almost reached the level of a top-tier Immortal Emperor, while she was only at the peak of the Immortal Venerable realm... Even if she deployed the Heavenly Dao Cauldron and the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower, she probably wouldn't gain much of an advantage.

"I will definitely eradicate the scourge of the evil spirits!"

Without any hesitation, Tian Chan directly took out the Heavenly Dao Cauldron and the Demon Suppression Immortal Tower. As the Heavenly Dao Cauldron appeared in the world... endless righteous energy of the Heavenly Dao surged forth, its imposing manner like a blazing sun and a river of stars.

Stepping on the immortal cauldron, holding the immortal tower in her hand, with her back facing all living beings... she faintly possessed the aura of a Heavenly Emperor!

However, right at this moment, the fallen Heavenly Dao opposite her spoke up.

"I wonder if the myriad races of the Nine Heavens... know about your identity as a woman?"

!!!

With just a single sentence, the fallen Heavenly Dao directly broke through Tian Chan's mental defenses.

[How is this possible? How does she know my identity? Even Immortal Emperors cannot detect my disguise!]

Tian Chan panicked. She never expected that the evil spirit in front of her could actually see through her disguise.

"Heh... even if you spread this around, would anyone believe you? I control a domain of the Heavenly Dao and am the leader of the righteous path. I have lived my life upright and honorably. Whether I am a man or a woman... do you think it matters?"

Tian Chan was not afraid in the slightest. "Even if my identity is exposed, I am still a female emperor who defends the common people of the world, unlike you... who, despite being a Heavenly Dao of a domain, willingly degenerated and became a lackey of the evil spirit plane."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao slightly narrowed its eyes. "Upright and honorable? Do you even believe that yourself?"

Tian Chan: "......"

Suddenly, the figure of her junior sister Yunya appeared in her mind.

She had cultivated the Dao for twenty thousand years, running about for the righteous path from beginning to end. She had never done anything to be ashamed of, nor had she ever slaughtered the innocent, taking it as her duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao.

If she truly owed anyone, she only owed her junior sister Yunya.

After the evil spirit disaster broke out, her sense of guilt towards her junior sister Yunya reached its peak. She, of course, knew... that her junior sister Yunya had probably suffered a lot at Jiang Che's place these past few days.

"No matter what you say, I... have a clear conscience!"

Tian Chan's expression was awe-inspiring, and the righteous origin on her body almost solidified into substance. The might of the righteous path shone on the entire border wasteland of the demon domain like a blazing sun, and some low-level evil spirit creatures were even directly burned to death by the power of righteousness.

"You're getting anxious."

The Heavenly Dao said slowly, "If you truly have a clear conscience, why use this method to try and cover it up?"

"You—"

Tian Chan directly and fiercely attacked, activating the Heavenly Dao Cauldron to blast towards it!

"Deep in your heart... there are regrets, right? Let me guess... is it related to that Fairy Yunya?" The Heavenly Dao dodged while speaking, easily evading Tian Chan's immortal killing move.

"Where exactly did Fairy Yunya get those life-extending immortal pills? In order to obtain the life-extending immortal pills... did you reach some sort of deal with that Jiang Che?"

The Heavenly Dao's voice transmitted into Tian Chan's ears like a demonic sound.

Her master, the creator of the evil spirit path, had already studied Jiang Che's temperament thoroughly. It was impossible for him to give away immortal pills for free. Even if the Heavenly Dao Palace spent money to buy them... Jiang Che would definitely make her bleed.

"Shut up!" Tian Chan lowered her voice, her gaze filled with furious rage.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of her Dao heart, the Dao heart wrapped in endless righteous origin had gradually cracked. Traces of evil energy dissipated from the Dao heart, even causing a faint, imperceptible scarlet hue to appear deep within her pupils.

"Hehe..."

The Heavenly Dao looked at Tian Chan, whose mental defenses were broken to the point of faintly demonizing, curled up a smile, and then quickly left the border wasteland battlefield.

Tian Chan's Dao heart had already developed cracks; her mission was complete!

Sure enough, just as Lord Evil Emperor had said, this leader of the righteous path was nothing to worry about. She became an immortal through the righteous path... and would inevitably be bound by the righteous path. Now, her Dao heart had cracked.

"Come back!!!" Tian Chan looked at the retreating back of the Heavenly Dao, unable to remain calm in her heart, her fists tightly clenched.

"Not good!" Tian Chan instantly realized something. Her Dao heart seemed to have a problem. For a moment... she even felt a very bizarre power within her body trying to break out of its cocoon, and even the righteous origin could barely suppress it.

She immediately circulated her cultivation technique, forcibly clearing her mind and calming her spirit, which barely suppressed that evil thought.

...

Evil Spirit Domain, Evil Palace.

"Reporting to Lord Evil Emperor, Tian Chan's Dao heart has already developed cracks."

[PS: Adding a patch here, Ji Qingyi is officially renamed to Evil Emperor, and Mo Shangxie is renamed to Demon Emperor. I will slowly modify the previous titles later, but it doesn't affect the big picture.]

The Heavenly Dao, dressed in a black dress, had a pious gaze, her stunningly beautiful face looking like the most exquisite carving in the world.

"I am already aware."

Ji Qingyi sat high up in the hall, resting her cheek on one hand.

"That Tian Chan and her brother are innate Dao bodies, twin fetuses of good and evil. When she was born twenty thousand years ago, she caused the evil path origin within my body to tremble."

"From that time on, I planted an evil seed within her body, and now the evil seed has sprouted..."

The fallen Heavenly Dao lowered her eyes. That Tian Chan actually still wanted to eradicate the evil spirit disaster?

How is that possible!

From the day she was born, she had already been targeted by Lord Evil Emperor. The Evil Emperor even went so far as to expend a price to intervene, forcibly implanting the evil seed during her childhood.

An evil fetus at the level of a Dao body, once fully grown, its status... would not be much weaker than the evil path origin, and it is highly likely to step onto the path of transcendence.

Even her ability to merge with the righteous origin was a result facilitated single-handedly by Lord Evil Emperor.

As a natural-born evil fetus, even if she transplanted her brother's awe-inspiring righteous energy, it would be impossible for her to gain the recognition of the righteous origin.

Even if that Tian Chan could defeat her using top-tier immortal weapons, in front of Lord Evil Emperor... she was nothing more than a toddler just learning to walk.

Lord Evil Emperor had already stepped onto the path of transcendence.

"Lord Evil Emperor, is there a need to make the truth of Tian Chan being a woman public? Or to spread the matter of her instigating her junior sister Yunya? Once this action is implemented... just the public opinion of the Nine Heavens can quickly accelerate her demonization."

However, Ji Qingyi waved her hand and didn't say much.
