Chapter 166
**Chapter 179: The Thunderous Disruption of Decency**
"The Lord... Di Jiang is dead."
"Di Jiang is dead again? How long has he been out? Who did it?!"
"A human."
Silence hung in the depths of the void, suddenly pierced by two clusters of eerie blue light—eyes that seemed to freeze the starry rivers of the primordial era within their crystalline depths.
Crash—!
The sound of clashing chains shattered the stillness.
The figure rose, the celestial bodies behind it gradually veering off their cosmic paths under an invisible pressure.
"An anomaly! An anomaly has appeared?!
Observe him, record him! This may be our opportunity!"
The urgent voice reverberated through the universe, filled with excitement and greed.
"Yes... my Lord, what should we do next? Di Jiang is dead."
"If he’s dead, then we’ll just release another."

"Captain Zhao, Chen... the Governor spent several million last night."
In the C Province Demon-Slaying Office, Xiang Xiaoyuan rested her chin on her hands, a frown etched on her face.
"Chen Huai'an must be procuring supplies. Didn’t he say he would help us with resource issues? If he’s not buying the Church’s holy water and crosses, he must be finding some alternatives..." Zhao Ying, munching on fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk, shrugged it off. As long as Chen Huai'an spent the money wisely, that was all that mattered.
"Captain Zhao, if he’s really buying resources, that’s fine, but that’s not the issue."
Zhao Ying raised an eyebrow. "What’s going on? Did he blow several million at a KTV?"
"Not quite." Xiang Xiaoyuan pulled up the spending records to show Zhao Ying. The payees were all from "Tiandao Entertainment," a name typically associated with gaming companies.
"What? Chen Huai'an spent several million on a game?!" Zhao Ying was taken aback. "What kind of game requires that much money? He could just make his own game with that cash and be the GM—he’d have everything he wanted!"
"I just don’t know. I looked into it, and the company doesn’t even exist. Do you think the Governor might have been scammed?" Xiang Xiaoyuan’s brows knitted together. Despite Chen Huai'an’s formidable strength, he was still young, and that foolishly sincere look in his eyes always gave the impression that he could be sold out and still hand over the money.

The **Chao Sheng Jue** was still too gentle.
Was there no other, more violent technique available?
With a mindset of giving it a try, he overlayed the **Lingxi** (spiritual insight) onto the **Tianmo Gong** (Heavenly Demon Technique) in his mind.
In an instant, the stone tablet underwent a transformation.
**[Tianmo Dafa]**
**[Modifiable Project Preview]**
**[Seize the unformed essence of heaven and earth → Seize the essence of demons and cultivate demonic energy]**
**[Refine the unwilling souls of myriad spirits → Refine the souls of evil spirits and demons]**
**[Shatter bones for firewood, burn blood for light → Shatter the bones of evil spirits and demons, ignite the blood of evil spirits and demons]**
**[Nine Tribulations Thunderfire refines the flesh → Nine-Nine Purple Sky Divine Thunder refines the body]**
**[Anger, ignorance, greed, and resentment refine the demonic eye → True Fire of Samadhi refines the fire eye]**
**[Seven emotions as locks confine the dragon marrow → Yin and Yang harmonize to condense the dragon spine]**
**[The wails of all beings boil the heart's fire → The faith of all beings molds the golden body]**
**[The sun and moon fall as adornments, the stars dissolve into the palm; at the end of this path, refine heaven, refine earth, refine demons, with all evils as fuel!]**
"What the hell... this is an absolutely insane modification tool for the Moon Spirit Wind Shadow technique..." Chen Huai'an was dumbfounded, utterly amazed.
What was this?
This was what they called—no one supports my ambition to soar, I’ll just cheat my way to the mountain peak.
Was this still a demonic technique?
This was essentially an extraordinary body refinement method!
And it was the nemesis of evil spirits and demons!
The **Chao Sheng Jue** was a path for law cultivators, while the **Tianmo Gong** was for body cultivators.
He could almost envision himself, after mastering both body and law, effortlessly seizing and refining evil spirits and demons in an instant.
Refine!
It must be refined!
Chen Huai'an cradled the stone tablet as if it were a treasure.
He had always had a fear of reality, and wasn’t it because his strength didn’t match his avatar? Once he achieved extraordinary cultivation through dual mastery, when he finally met Qingran, she would only be able to sing "Conquer" on the bed, heh heh heh!
**[Would you like to use Lingxi to modify the details of the Tianmo Gong?]**
**[The modification will generate a brand new technique, and the original Tianmo Gong stone tablet will be retained.]**
"Modify!"
**[Please name the new technique.]**
Chen Huai'an stroked his chin, his eyes darting. "Let’s not change the name; we’ll still call it Tianmo Gong."
Buzz—!
A crimson stone tablet materialized beside the black one.
Unlike the black stone tablet, which oozed demonic energy, this crimson tablet exuded fire energy and righteous aura.
He stored the Tianmo stone tablet away.
This thing was like a ticking time bomb; it might come in handy later. He then began reading the first volume of the Tianmo stone tablet.
This volume was titled—**Blood Cocoon**.
In summary, it required devouring the flesh and blood of hundreds of evil spirits and demons to refine oneself, forming a new flesh and blood cocoon. The more evil spirits and demons consumed, the stronger the cocoon would become, with the threshold for cultivating the second volume set at one hundred.
It was worth mentioning that although the overall technique had been modified, the core of the technique remained unchanged. When he placed the crimson stone tablet next to the remnants of the Tianmo Gong, the aura from the two pages of remnants tried to penetrate the crimson stone tablet but was repelled by the righteous aura, creating a feeling akin to wanting to acknowledge a father who wouldn’t recognize him.
In other words.
Even if he cultivated the modified version of the main text—the Tianmo Gong, he could still control those who practiced the remnants—the true Tianmo Gong.
This was quite interesting...
A flurry of self-serving schemes flashed through Chen Huai'an's mind.
"Heh heh! Qingran, baby, enhance your strength, demons! Where are the evil spirits and demons?!" Chen Huai'an was now very excited; after all, the Demon-Slaying Office had many tasks, most of which were related to evil spirits and demons.
He wanted to rush out and take on a task right now.
But glancing at the time—four-thirty in the morning.
Since dawn was approaching, he might as well get some sleep.
He was indeed at the second level of Qi Refinement but hadn’t reached the point of not needing sleep. From the moment Di Jiang descended until now, one thing had followed another, keeping his mind in a constant state of tension. Finally, with a moment of peace, he felt a wave of fatigue wash over him.
He lay back on the bed, just about to close his eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Huai'an remembered something he hadn’t done and quickly sat up to open the game customer service—he hadn’t annoyed anyone today.
"Help me deduce who is hiding behind that demon cultivator." Chen Huai'an squinted.
He had already conducted an experiment.
Even if the **Tianji** (Heavenly Mechanism) deduction hadn’t been completed, the celestial phenomena would still manifest. This meant that even without spending a dime, he could make the hidden presence feel as if they were being scrutinized by the **Tianji**.
**[Tianji deduction in progress... Warning, target is protected by a Dao artifact. Forcing the deduction will incur at least a 2000-layer luck deficit. The player’s current strength cannot bear this, thus the Tianji deduction is rejected!]**
"Heh heh heh... Let’s see how I can annoy you to death~"
Chen Huai'an felt a rush of satisfaction.
He turned off his phone and fell asleep.
