Chapter 702 - 702 Ancient Legend
702 Ancient Legend
“Interesting!” Ye Qiu stared coldly at the faintly discernible demonic energy on the bone. The corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up into a faint smile. “I didn’t expect to meet you after so many years. Isn’t this fate?”
The hatred for the demon seed in Ye Qiu’s heart didn’t disappear. In the depths of his memory were countless sages of the Heaven Mending Sect who had died tragically at the hands of the Demoness Tianmeng. There was also that unsmiling but kind master in his memory.
Although Tianmeng had already died and reincarnated into a human, becoming the current Little Mengli and becoming Ye Qiu’s grand-disciple, this didn’t mean that the hatred in Ye Qiu’s heart for the demon seed had disappeared.
The current Little Mengli was human and was brought into the cycle of reincarnation by Martial Uncle Xuanyi to sacrifice herself to atone for her sins. Her karma was also borne by Xuanyi alone. However, under the premise of all forgiveness, it was because she was a human now, not a demon seed.
Ye Qiu wanted to bring her onto the right track. For Xuanyi and the world, he accepted her as Violet Cloud’s disciple. The hatred that Ye Qiu had suppressed for many years seemed to have been aroused again now that the demon seed had appeared.
Standing up, Ye Qiu looked around the entire wasteland. The scene of white bones was extremely terrifying.
Yaya, who was standing behind him, was already pale with fear. Clearly, such a scene had a huge impact on a little girl’s heart. Not to mention her, even Ye Qiu felt nauseous when he saw it.
From the scale of this battle, most of the people who were killed were soldiers of the Heavenly Fire Empire, and a large number of them were citizens of the Fire Nation. Their deaths were extremely terrifying. Their eyes were empty. They had been killed in an extremely terrified and helpless state.
The demon seed sucked their blood and extracted their souls. Its methods were extremely cruel.
Yaya couldn’t help but ask as she watched her master walk and stop to observe the situation of the corpses. “Master, did you discover anything?”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu stood up and turned around to look at her, thinking seriously. “Hmm… Come, carefully observe this corpse and see what you find.”
Ye Qiu didn’t directly explain his discovery. Instead, he threw this question to Yaya and let her check it herself. His greatest goal in leaving the mountain was to train Yaya and save the crisis the Fire Nation was facing.
When Yaya heard her master’s words, she couldn’t help but tremble. She was still a little afraid and didn’t dare to approach the corpse. However, looking at her master’s serious gaze, she instantly understood her master’s intentions.
Even though she was very afraid, she still silently cheered herself on in her heart. She gritted her teeth and walked up. She squatted down and observed seriously for a long time. Suddenly, Yaya said, “What an evil aura.”
Yaya felt like she was looking straight at fear with just a few glances. It was as if she was in infinite fear, and thousands of vengeful spirits were staring at her. Her face instantly turned pale from fear. Yaya was terrified and uneasy. Then, she asked, “Master, what is this aura?”
Seeing that she was so curious, Ye Qiu smiled faintly and explained, “Demonic aura!”
“Demonic aura?” This was the first time Yaya had heard this word. She was stunned on the spot. “What is this? Why does it make one feel a fear that goes straight to the soul?”
At this point, Ye Qiu slowly told a story. “At the end of the Immortal Ancient, after the Ten Fiends left, that ancient Immortal Realm opened an era of heroes competing. This era is also called the Calamity of the Myriad Races!
“In this calamity, the myriad races rose, and heroes stood everywhere, starting a cruel and bloody war. It was also from that time that the foundation was laid for the status of the various large clans in our current era. Many of these so-called large clans that you know have survived that war.”
“But what does this have to do with demonic aura?” Yaya didn’t understand.
Ye Qiu smiled and continued, “At that time, heroes competed for supremacy. Even though they fought fiercely, they were always in a state of balance.
“However, because of the appearance of a certain clan, this balance was broken, causing the destruction of the Immortal Ancient Era. The Immortal Realm fell apart and became the remains that are the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. And this clan, the demon seed, wreaked havoc in the world back then!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yaya’s face turned pale in disbelief. “Demon Seed!”
This was the first time she had heard this word. Looking at her master’s serious expression, she instantly understood. What her master meant was that the evil aura she sensed in front of her was the demon seed that her master mentioned.
Thinking of this, Yaya’s face instantly turned incomparably pale and she was at a loss. According to her master, the destruction of the Immortal Ancient Era was related to the demon seed.
Now that the demon seed had reappeared and appeared in their Fire Nation, didn’t that mean that their Heavenly Fire Empire was about to become history? She couldn’t help but start to feel afraid.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu shook his head and continued, “The origin of this demon seed is unknown. I heard that there were rumors. At the beginning of the Immortal Ancient, a supreme expert appeared on that vast plateau.
“I don’t know what kind of battle he experienced. He was seriously injured and completely fell asleep after walking across that plateau. It’s also because of his fall that his corpse was eaten by ten living beings, making them incomparably powerful. Their bodies are supremely perfect.
“These ten living beings were the Ten Fiends that dominated the world in the early years of the Immortal Ancient.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yaya was instantly shocked. She had no idea that that dazzling era was indirectly caused by a mysterious expert. The Ten Fiends could rule the world just by eating a piece of his meat.
This wasn’t the end. Ye Qiu continued, “After that, the era of the Ten Fiends began to descend. Someone knew that the body of that highland expert could bring supreme power. More and more living beings are starting to rush onto the plateau, wanting a share. Those who can eat it can rule a region. Such temptation is extremely great, but that plateau is filled with danger. Most living beings will die on the way before they reach that plateau.”
Speaking of which, Ye Qiu had heard this story from Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu. Later on, after he fused with that drop of divine blood, he also saw that terrifying scene with his own eyes. It could be said that the opening and prevalence of the entire Immortal Ancient Era came from that highland expert.
Hearing such a story, Yaya gradually became curious. After a while, she asked, “Then how was this demon seed born?”
She was very curious. The Ten Fiends ate the meat of that expert and became the strongest experts in the world. The latecomers also received a portion and also shone in their respective eras.
However, how was this demon seed born? Yaya did not understand, and many people did not.
