Chapter 1411: Chapter 670: Join the Game

"Lambs—these things are just another possible evolution of the Demon Demon Path.

Just like our Mystic Sect’s Supreme Supreme Dao, which in the very beginning was derived from those Demon Clan emperors’ paths of evolution.

From mountain chicken evolving into Phoenix, from carp evolving into Heavenly Dragon, from maggot evolving into La Immortal.

Devouring matter, absorbing energy, step by step growing larger and stronger—endless devouring, endless evolution, until you become a beast of infinite possibilities.

And at the ultimate end, you devour the earth, devour the starry sky, and grow into the Doomsday Mule.

Lambs are of the same kind, only they made all sorts of massive mistakes along the Dao, and so lost control.

For example, before their own Dao Body flesh evolved strong enough to condense into a stable container, they acquired energy that was far too powerful.

As if they’d evolved some kind of biological fusion reactor core inside their bodies, whose energy was too strong, causing a power surge, loss of control, and core meltdown.

So the runaway, overflowing energy radiation destroyed their genetic spectrum, severed their molecular chains, wrecked their flesh, making it impossible to form a stable entity.

This situation is similar to our Mystic Sect Old Gods, whose bottleneck reaches the point they can’t hold it anymore, and they explode and die—just like the Heavenly Person Five Decays.

But lambs haven’t yet reached the point of simply exploding, and they also don’t slowly decay in five stages; it’s a kind of stable, long-term loss of control.

Though energy keeps leaking out without end, the core reactor still continuously emits radiation.

Though the container leaks on all sides, their flesh is indeed incomparably tough, so they can still endure such radiation and keep growing and evolving.

Yet they’re in a state of runaway berserkness, and cannot repair the BUGs in their own flesh, so the more they devour and evolve, the stronger the radiation inside them becomes.

Thus lambs rot as they grow, heal as they burn, radiate as they leak.

Like a ship with broken seams that let in wind and rain, but which is constantly patched up—so long as it doesn’t sink, it can keep sailing.

As long as it can keep drawing enough material from the earth to repair its flesh, it can keep on existing, keep on evolving.

And when it reaches that point, in order to complete its final evolution, in order not to face loss of control and death, it will devour everything around it.

So in a certain sense, lambs are simply a necessary path on the way to becoming a Mule. The only difference between the two is just a container’s rupture, a Daoist Heart running wild.

All demons, all Dragons, all beasts—once they set foot on this road of no return, sooner or later they’ll sink to this state."

Tie Dan stared at those eight flaming lambs, roaring with wild joy in the Fire Sea, gulping down demons, devouring the earth, swallowing magma, and for a moment he was dazed.

After all, this might also be his own alien path. Back when he incarnated as Yazi and lost himself on Mars for five hundred years, in essence he wasn’t much different from a lamb.

And back then, those Demon Ancestors from the Outer Heaven Strange World that he ate on Mars, fundamentally could also be considered different breeds of sheep; they were all Refining God and Returning to Void Realm juveniles.

As the saying goes, you are what you eat—directly eating sheep to repair the Dao Body is naturally the fastest, and it was precisely by eating a lot of sheep that Tie Dan managed to recover.

And if one day in the future he fails to守 his Daoist Heart, he’ll probably be devoured by the sheep in his heart, or by other sheep.

That said, to be fair, mutton really is quite tasty, and packed with nutrients...

"By the way, why are you still hanging around here? Planning to stick around till you die?"

Then Tie Dan turned around and saw three Emei Sword Immortals behind him, blood spraying in the wind.

Mm, they too looked like weather‑beaten, leaking hulls, with blood streaming all over. After all, the Cang Bai, Cang Wu, and Cang Ming of this world had been fighting their way for five hundred years straight, covered in wounds, with old injuries still unhealed; now not only were they bleeding from the seven apertures, all the wounds on their bodies had split open again, their Daoist robes soaked and dyed scarlet. Someone who didn’t know better would think they were from the Chaos Divine Sect.

By contrast, Tie Dan looked calm and leisurely—he was dead man’s bones, after all, and as everyone knows, moonlight is inherently reflective; as long as there’s light, Taiyin Moonlight can be used to Body Refining and condense one’s form. So not only had he not weakened from the battle, he had borrowed the radiation, instantly refilling his Qi Power to Nascent Soul Peak; his Dao Body grew even more condensed. Now he was wearing Emei’s clothes as well, the Silk Taoist Robe fitting him perfectly, the Dark Crane Silken Robe draped over his shoulders, skin gleaming with lustrous light, long hair streaming in the wind, appearing like some Immortal descending to the dusty world.

"Didn’t I already tell you? They’re having a nuclear leak right now—radiation all over the sky and earth. Every moment you’re losing HP by the percent. You living people can’t tank this."

"Cough, cough... we... we must remain here... to slaughter this horde of demons... otherwise, cough cough cough, otherwise we’ll be too late... they’re headed for the city!"

The one coughing blood while speaking was nine feet tall, with a short beard under his chin—none other than Emei’s Cang Bai. Just now he’d skewered the demon horde with his sword, fighting at full capacity; now he’d also been blasted by the radiation of the Eight Sheep, his old wounds flaring up, coughing blood until even his Qi was nearly too choked to circulate.

But what he said did make sense. At this moment the Eight Flame Sheep had clearly eaten all those unlucky Monster students who’d been tricked into coming to read Books; now they were spraying radiation everywhere, Demon Light blazing on all sides, trampling a road of blood and fire as they burned everything across the mountains, carrying roaring magma streams. They completely ignored the Mystic Sect Sword Immortals over here, heading straight for the human town not far off.

Tie Dan pinched his fingers to calculate, and understood the reason.

"They’re muddle‑headed—completely out of control.

That Flame Transfer Ball Great Array just now had those eight brothers themselves as the Array Eye, resonating together. After that round of expenditure and the transfer‑calculation of flame balls, they’d already pushed both firepower and computational power to the limit, already at the brink of Beng‑style collapse.
