Chapter 2092: Demon (II)

Li Hao changed when he set foot into order. The smile slid off his face and he looked on coldly. “My thanks to Fellow Daoist Chaos Sky for facilitating all of this. Order is a good thing!”

Spring Autumn continued to struggle with Chaos Sky as the young man melded with order.

“Why?!” she shrieked. “What are you doing??”

Wasn’t this playing right into Chaos Sky’s hands if he integrated with order and became the master of order??

So you just wanted to work for Chaos Sky all along??

What is the point of all of this and trying to kill Long Zhan if you still become Chaos Sky’s puppet, especially now?!

She was utterly befuddled about Li Hao’s decision and it showed on her face.

Is your final trump card to become the master of order?! What kind of joke is that??

Then what was she and the Human King doing all of this for??

Spring Autumn flew into a rage!

You bastard Li Hao, you’re just messing around! Just give up and admit you’ve lost if you can’t establish a chaos. There’s no need to have to determine a victor or a loser in this battle.

“Hold your horses, this isn’t Chaos Sky’s order, it’s humanity’s order. What are you so worked up about...” Li Hao’s voice traveled over. “Humanity is ultimately revered at the head of this chaos. Humanity is king and makes the decisions for all living beings!”

Who says that Order is Chaos Sky? Didn’t you and I kill his replica?

Have you forgotten?

Although she’s a major monster spirit, Spring Autumn is a seriously forgetful being. I won’t be able to kill Long Zhan through just relying on order alone.

Countless supernatural characters had landed among the various worlds in the western region. They were arrayed in a formation, as if the worlds of dao were ready to revitalize again.

“Be careful, Long Zhan...” Chaos Sky suddenly bellowed. He was grappling with a mix of emotions. That little bastard had voluntarily become part of order. While that wouldn’t pose too much of an issue for Chaos Sky, it would be a huge problem for Long Zhan!

The dragon didn’t understand, but knew that this was a development to take seriously. He charged Li Hao, sweeping his tail through the void and smashing through the strength of order!

Immense strength constantly forced Li Hao back.

And yet, the young man was in no hurry.

He slowly backed away and declared in an increasingly resonant voice, “I control order. Those who destroy it should be annihilated by heaven and earth! To all worlds in the western region, humanity is king. Chaos beasts do not follow the natural order of existence. Hence, today I establish this rule through order that they are to be executed!”

“Who do you think you are?!” Long Zhan roared. “Do you think you can compel the myriad worlds of the west to pay homage to you with just a few words?!”

What a joke!

Chaos Sky, however, watched mournfully. He knew that trouble was upon them. This was bad, because he’d already brainwashed the western region!

Indeed, the entire west existed under a kind of order of faith. Chaos Sky had nearly indoctrinated the entire region. He’d extracted the desires, troubles, darkness, and ambitions of countless souls, then planted a seed in them in return.

Order was the one and only.

If he’d successfully infiltrated Li Hao, then the young man wouldn’t have been able to do anything because Heaven’s Stratagem carried Chaos Sky’s will.

The second point was that Li Hao himself bore the faith of hundreds of billions of people. It was intermixed with order, which resulted in a natural captivation of humans.

One could say that the denizens of the west were most easily beguiled if the instruction came wrapped in the form of order. And this was something that Chaos Sky had worked to establish.

In order to ensure a safe and organized region, he’d been brainwashing everyone with a mental faith. That also included the powerhouses of his own world.

This was one of the reasons why he’d been so insistent on retrieving the Heaven’s Stratagem.

He just hadn’t thought that Li Hao really would fully assimilate with order.

“Li Hao, you’ve become the puppet of order in combining with it!” he yelled. “You know full well that this is no loss to me. It’s not worth it to do so just to kill Long Zhan...”

He didn’t know whether he should be happy or worried.

Chaos Sky was happy that Li Hao was now part of order. That gave him a chance to control the young man again. But he was worried that... Long Zhan would really be done for if the young man lost control. He wouldn’t be able to exert control over Li Hao either. It would be a double whammy.

The chaos beast finally understood the implications of what had just happened.

“Chaos Sky, you...” He couldn’t help but curse. You are such a bastard!

He could feel it too, that a formidable wave of faith was erupting in the western region. There was a powerful will rising to the forefront, the intent to conquer everything and safeguard order...

That intent was furiously nurturing the supernatural characters that Li Hao had left scattered everywhere. They blazed with strength and brought with them unbounded spirit.

Li Hao’s presence billowed. He was fully part of order now and had become its protector. An extremely dense will exploded, one to protect order and safeguard humanity...

There were thousands upon thousands of worlds in the western region and countless human beings. The power of faith drifted through the air, alongside the power of order. Various cultivators and mundanes seemed to catch sight of something in the air—a savior was batting a dragon.

That was an evil dragon that sought to sabotage order!

The darkness should be slain!

“Kill it!”

“Execute it!”

“......” The voices seemed to bubble up from the heart and filled the western region.

The powerhouses fighting Supreme Zhang and the others also sensed something. As strong as the Nine Layer Guard were, their expressions twitched and they ardently looked behind them.

“It’s... the dao master...”

The dao master!

Who they meant by the dao master wasn’t Chaos Sky, but the real master of order dao!

Even Withdrawal couldn’t help but take a look back after he sliced through the Ash Emperor’s fishing pole with a swing of his sword. His emotions were complicated as this was the energy ripple of the dao master... No, the Order master.

Someone was building real order, whereas Dao Master Chaos Sky had never truly integrated with order or the Heaven’s Stratagem. Although he used order, it was just a usable dao to Chaos Sky. It wasn’t the one and only.

All premier heavyweights were thus.

Li Hao was the same, he’d never really become one with the star of time. He just used time as one of his methods, that didn’t mean he was time.

That was the case for Chaos Sky.

Although he’d employed order all this time, he was yet to become fully combined with it. He didn’t want to because that would mean his future would be limited to the path of order.

That was not the choice of an apex powerhouse!

Withdrawal was well aware of this, but he didn’t find anything inappropriate about Chaos Sky’s decision. So long as Chaos Sky still controlled order, it was fine even if he wasn’t the master of order. That was because only Chaos Sky was in control of the dao of order.

But now... Withdrawal hesitated. Was that... Li Hao?

Had he integrated with the Heaven’s Stratagem and transformed into order, which meant that he’d taken control of order in the west?

What... was going on?

Had the dao master lost sufficient control over Heaven’s Stratagem? The entire western region seemed to be under Li Hao’s jurisdiction now. So many people were fighting. How had the young man done it, to spontaneously exert control over the west?

The supreme that Withdrawal fought also sensed something. He broke out in a smile with a cough.

“How interesting... the master of time has run off to integrate order instead of time! So who’s the master of order now? Do the Nine Layer Guard follow Chaos Sky or the dao of order?”

The guards shifted uneasily and attacked more slowly than before.

“Don’t be beguiled by them!” growled Withdrawal. “We have always followed order! It’s just... well, order might not be under Li Hao’s control at the moment. The dao master will have a way to get it back. Li Hao is just a destroyer, a visitor of order!”

Li Hao was taking over the order in the west. By now, everyone understood why the young man had insisted on establishing his chaos in the west. This was a great place. Taking control of order here might enable him to spontaneously conquer the vast western territory!

Chaos Sky had taken care of it well and made all the arrangements.

Withdrawal’s words did not put the Nine Layer Guards at ease.

“You are all powerhouses under the command of the Order master.” The supreme laughed meaningfully. “You have jurisdiction over the nine layers on behalf of order! Now that he’s lost control over order, Chaos Sky is just the incarnation of darkness!

“What, do the Nine Layer Guards actually pursue darkness and not order?”

The guards looked intently at the supreme, emotions flickering over their face. What should they do now? Would the dao master regain control over order?

Ripples swept over the western region, it was the will of Chaos Sky. The man had also realized that this situation was very bad. Just as the group here thought, he was attempting to seize back control of the west and order!

......

On the fringes of the western region.

The strength of order over Li Hao blazed with magnificence!

Chaos Sky howled as he fought two people at once. The power of darkness surged and immense willpower swept the four corners. His intent to conquer the chaos dominated the region!

If he allowed the situation to continue, then Li Hao might take over the entire area and all of the worlds controlled by humans!

Long Zhan moved quickly as well, bringing his full strength to bear against Li Hao. He clawed through the layers of order in front of Li Hao.

“Don’t you want to establish your chaos, Li Hao?” he snarled. “Don’t you want to wield time? Don’t you seek freedom? Don’t you wish to discuss dao throughout the heavens?! How are you willing to become a puppet of order??”

There was nothing the dragon wanted to do more than to swear profusely.

Aren’t you going to become the second Order master with what you’re doing?? So everything you spoke of before was just bullshit? Were you just going through the motions of establishing your chaos?

Is your aim to establish yourself as the guardian and protector of order and humanity?!

This was the last thing he’d expected. Even if Li Hao had fully become part of time, Long Zhan would’ve believed that this was just part of the plan. After all, the young man had been cultivating and wielding time all along.

The Heaven’s Stratagem was just a newly seized treasure. It also contained a lot of power of faith that Li Hao wasn’t willing to accept. But for some reason, the young man was absorbing all of it now!

If this was the case, shouldn’t you have just accepted it when Chaos Sky invaded you??
