There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 119 The Present World - The Origin of Resentment

Hao Chen stood above Nanshan Mountain, coldly looking down. After returning to deal with the Chaos Myriad Realms Dragon, he had the little fire dragon search for the whereabouts of the Copy Demon God.

After searching for so many days, he finally found the place where the cloned demon god was healing. Unexpectedly, the other party had played a trick and was hiding in one of the many different dimensions in Nanshan.

The Copying Demon God was born in the chaos and is one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. He wields the law of copying, but he was severely injured in a great war that swept through the chaos. His terrifying chaotic body was severed, and he was forced to hide and recuperate. He has not yet recovered to his full strength.

It is indeed powerful, because it can almost perfectly replicate anything of a lower rank than itself, even living beings.

However, it is also weak, because each copy is not generated out of thin air, but is completed by the copying demon god consuming its own essence and spirit. If the target to be copied is too powerful, it may be drained in an instant.

The reason why Hao Chen has such a deep impression of the Copying Demon God, or even hates him, is because the Copying Demon God had made a move in the past, causing him great trouble and almost severing his path.

"Little Fire Dragon, this is not something you can get involved in. You should step back for now," Hao Chen said to the little fire dragon beside him.

However, Charmander gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, one more person means one more strength. Let me stay. I'm already prepared..."

Before the little fire dragon could finish speaking, Hao Chen shouted, "I said get out of the way."

"Big, big brother, I..."

"Back off!!!"

Seeing Hao Chen's resolute gaze, the little fire dragon could only retreat to a distance unwillingly, secretly blaming itself: Why? I've tried so hard, and I'm only one step away from the path of the emperor. Am I still not able to help?

Hao Chen watched as the little fire dragon retreated, then took a deep breath and released his own aura, a terrifying energy awakening within Hao Chen's body.

One after another, immortal and blazing rays of light soared into the sky, illuminating the heavens and earth.

In the light, Hao Chen transformed into a majestic figure, like an ancient king revered by all spirits in ancient times.

The next moment, Hao Chen's grand Dao voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui..."

At the same time, an incredibly terrifying aura emanated from Hao Chen and descended towards Nanshan Town.

The next moment, Nanshan began to tremble slightly, and as the tremors intensified, the entire Nanshan shook violently as if it were about to collapse. Spatial gaps tore through the void, revealing the alternate dimensions within.

As the alternate dimension was exposed, various terrifying auras were revealed within it. However, some of these auras retreated on their own after sensing Hao Chen's presence.

Even so, no fewer than ten auras were not afraid of Hao Chen; instead, they were awakening and sublimating.

"I am looking for the Copy Demon God. What business is it of yours? If you want to fight, then let's fight."

Hao Chen roared, his aura becoming even more terrifying and vast, and a blurry, enormous figure slowly emerged behind him.

Without hesitation, the owners of those auras retreated rapidly upon sensing Hao Chen's change, shrinking back into the alternate dimension.

After all, Hao Chen's actions were undoubtedly a provocation, but Hao Chen's aura also showed that the other party was not easy to mess with, not to mention that the other party was not looking for trouble.

They were all not at their peak, and some had already perished, leaving only their undying spiritual consciousness. There was no need for them to fight to the death over such a trivial matter, lest they completely perish.

Seeing that those auras had all withdrawn on their own, Hao Chen stopped paying attention to them and instead looked at one of the alternate dimensions: "Copy, do you want to come out on your own, or should I invite you out?"

Seeing that his opponent still showed no intention of revealing himself, Hao Chen decisively unleashed a devastating attack: "Eight Secrets Return to One!"

"Boom!"

With Hao Chen's intervention, time and space seemed to freeze under his immense power, leaving only dazzling light and radiance that shone brilliantly throughout the world.

The next moment, the alternate dimension where the copy was located exploded under Hao Chen's power, and the vast and unparalleled fluctuations of order continued to bombard the surroundings without diminishing their momentum, annihilating everything.

Suddenly, a blazing light burst forth from the explosion, shooting off into the distance like lightning.

"Trying to leave?" Hao Chen's gaze sharpened, his expression unchanged, and he immediately made his move. In an instant, countless Yin-Yang runes intertwined and manifested.

He directly used his divine power to invoke the laws of heaven, evolving endless yin and yang runes, which instantly transformed into an unparalleled array that blocked the radiance.

After the light was stopped, it transformed into a humanoid figure filled with chaotic energy and entwined with countless divine laws of order, resembling both a god and a demon.

Although the figure looked terrifying and exuded an aura that dominated the world, Hao Chen still sensed the weakness beneath that power.

"Hmm? What business do you have with me? I believe I have not offended you."

The Copy Demon was a bit confused. He had finally escaped from the underworld and was now hiding here to heal his wounds. He hadn't even had a chance to go out and cause trouble before he was found out.

If it weren't for sensing the formidable aura emanating from the other party and worrying that a fight would worsen his injuries, the Copy Demon God would never have spoken to Hao Chen so politely.

But since Hao Chen had come to pick a fight with the Copy Demon God, he naturally wouldn't give up so easily. He decisively struck first, raising his hand and throwing a punch at the Copy Demon God.

"How dare you! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The Copy Demon was also furious. He never expected that even after he had been so humble, the other party would still dare to attack him. Did they really think he had a good temper?

"boom--"

The copying demon god had a cold expression, his divine power boiling uncontrollably, vast and boundless, carrying many laws, and he also threw a punch.

After receiving Hao Chen's punch, the Copy Demon God, relying on the fact that although he was no longer at his peak, he still possessed some of the Great Dao of the Copy Demon God, and fiercely swung his fists at Hao Chen.

"Humph!"

Hao Chen's body was filled with yin and yang energy, and his aura continued to rise, gradually approaching the aura of the cloned demon god. Then, he struck the cloned demon god with a palm.

The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle, their fists and palms clashing and exchanging blows, flying from the ground to the sky and back again.

But the next moment, the copying demon let out a scream, and its body flew straight out.

"What?" The Copy Demon God exclaimed in disbelief, then looked at the weapon in Hao Chen's hand in horror: "That's the World Tree? No, no, that's impossible!"

The copying demon seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world, trembling all over, unable to even move its body.

Hao Chen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He held a tree branch with more than a dozen leaves that shimmered with Heavenly Dao runes, and kept brushing them down at the replica demon god.

Streams of immortal light, seemingly eternal, fell upon the astonished replicating demon god.

"Crack!"

Like the sound of porcelain shattering, cracks began to appear on the body of the replicating demon god, and chaotic light shone through the cracks.

The Copy Demon looked down at its shattered body, initially filled with terror, then seemingly relieved: "Heh, after hiding for so many years, I finally couldn't escape your reckoning, Daozi!"

Under Hao Chen's gaze, the cloned demon god's body began to glow, and then firefly-like specks of light flew out from its body—first one, then two, then three…

Soon, the cloned demon god's body flew out of countless beams of light, and even more points of light, his body also looked somewhat illusory.

After the physical body disappeared, the primordial spirit of the cloned demon god also glowed, then disintegrated, transforming into the power of heaven and earth, and returning to the world.

Watching the cloned demon vanish before his eyes without leaving a trace, Hao Chen murmured, "Is it really gone?"

Even though Hao Chen didn't want to believe it, he searched every inch of space but couldn't find a trace of the true spirit of the copying demon god.

Looking at the dilapidated Nanshan, Haochen waved the branches of the World Tree in his hand, causing countless laws to fall, making Nanshan seem to turn back time and return to its state before the great battle.

After doing all this, Hao Chen met up with the little fire dragon in the distance, and then they flew together toward the Deer Man Shop.

"Big brother, you're so awesome!" The little dragon really wanted to flatter him, but unfortunately, he lacked the vocabulary. After thinking for a long time, he could only manage to come up with "awesome."

After Haochen left, a point of light emerged from the void and then disappeared into the River of Time.

From within the light, a cryptic message emanated: "Daozi, you destroyed my physical body and primordial spirit, you destroyed everything I have, so I will never let you off easy."
