"Devil Demon... A lineage?"
Ye Yi gasped. He had never heard the old man Mu Tian mention it before. All he remembered was that Mu Tian had told him that the Devil Demon Mountains had existed a long time ago, but he had never been told that there was a Devil Demon lineage here and that it had such an ancient history.
"Then this River of Blood?" Since this was a place belonging to the Devil Demon lineage, and this person emerged from the River of Blood, this River of Blood must have a close relationship with the Devil Demon lineage. It also contains abundant stellar energy, and perhaps it will be a great opportunity.
"That is the blood of our ancestors," the man sighed, as if he had returned to the era millions of years ago when their ancestors ruled the world of illusions. "Back then, the Illusion World couldn't accommodate our ancestors, and the top power of the Illusion World dominated by the Demon God Temple began to attack our ancestors. A total of 10 master-level figures, hundreds of realm masters and demigods, the top powers launched almost all their forces to besiege our ancestors. They were afraid that if our ancestors became a god-like existence, they wouldn't be able to rule the world as they pleased anymore. For millions of years, there hadn't been a god born, and that must be the reason. That battle lasted for over a month, and finally our ancestors launched a stellar burial, destroying all the enemies. And I transformed into this River of Blood to protect our Devil Demon lineage." The man became more and more excited as he spoke, proud of his ancestors' supreme.
"Stellar Burial!" Ye Yi was shocked. This move was not unfamiliar to him. He had used it when the Heavenly Emperor suppressed the demons back then. It was a very terrifying move. Once used, even the person who used it would be counterattacked. In other words, anyone who used this move would definitely not survive!
"You also know this move!" The man clearly felt surprised. That was his ancestors' strongest attack. Up to now, no one knew about it.
Ye Yi nodded and told him about that dream. The man was even more astonished after listening and then suddenly understood, "No wonder since you entered this mountain range, I have felt the energy of the mountain starting to fluctuate. Something that hasn't happened for millions of years!" The man sighed.
"This is! What's going on. Isn't it because I'm not a cultivator?" After hearing the man's words, Ye Yi felt a bit strange. He had always believed that it was because he wasn't a cultivator that the stellar energy helped him heal.
"You are not a cultivator!" The man became even more astonished. He clearly felt the fluctuation of stellar energy on Ye Yi, and when he delved deeper into perception, that energy seemed to sink into the stone and disappear without any waves.
"It turns out to be a semi-gathering-elementary cultivator!" He said. "Do you really think that just because of this reason you could enter the Devil Demon Mountains!"
"Perhaps, isn't it?"
"Haha!" The man laughed. "The energy shield of the Devil Demon Mountains will automatically launch an attack as soon as it senses the fluctuation of energy. Didn't you feel any energy attacking you when you entered?"
"Yes!" Ye Yi of course remembered. When he tightened his grip on the Devil Demon Mountains, that powerful energy fluctuation "Then how?"
"Oh, such an ignorant child!" The man smiled and shook his head.
It turns out that the stellar energy of the Devil Demon Mountains doesn't attack when facing the same type of energy. If the energy on Ye Yi's body was any other type of stellar energy, he would have already been dead long ago.
After hearing this, Ye Yi broke out in cold sweat. He never expected that the unlucky stellar energy had saved his life. But he also marvelled at the wonder of the mountain, that it could make the energy approach without attacking.
"Why did your ancestors do this?" Ye Yi asked. Such a powerful person ended up in such a situation. He was also very touched.
"Perhaps it was because your ancestors had a longing for their hometown." The man said quietly.
Hometown? Right, his ancestors the Devil Demons originated from Earth, so Earth should be his hometown.
"It's because I came from the same place as him, so..." Ye Yi muttered to himself. Now there was only this explanation. Otherwise, how could a small cultivator like me be chosen by such a terrifying existence?
From the conversation with the man, Ye Yi learned that although they called themselves the "Tianmo" lineage, and referred to the original powerful figure Tianmo as their ancestor, this was merely a respectful term, just like how the Chinese people call themselves descendants of Yan and Huang. It was not that the generations of descendants of Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor actually gave rise to this. Becoming descendants of Yan and Huang was the respect shown by the later generations to the two emperors. ,
When the demon god descended upon this mountain range, he protected the weak and enabled them to gradually grow stronger. In gratitude for the demon god's kindness, they called themselves the "Demonic Lineage".
Hearing this, Ye Yi sighed with emotion. Although the demon god was called a demon, he helped the world with great righteousness. However, those who called themselves righteous people were doing things contrary to their own moral principles. It was truly sad and lamentable!
"Ancestral power ruled the world. Even after death, his legacy still exists. Back then, many people hoped to obtain the legacy and traveled thousands of miles to come here, but none of them were recognized by the Qi. Although we call ourselves the 'Demonic Lineage', we cannot inherit the legacy and can only protect our ancestors and wait for the appearance of someone who can truly inherit our ancestors' mantle!" The man revealed this great secret, his eyes looking at Ye Yi. He believed that Ye Yi was the person they were waiting for.
"Legacy?"
"Yes! The legacy of our ancestors, the second King's legacy!" The man stared fixedly at Ye Yi, waiting for his reply.
" King!" Ye Yi was shocked. The King! Who would dare to claim such a title? Apart from the Heaven Emperor from billions of years ago, there were still people who dared to claim to be the King!
"Right, King!" The man replied. "Back then, our ancestors acted against the natural order and refined Qi, eventually achieving enlightenment and becoming the supreme King!"
Ye Yi was silent. He never expected that there could be a second King in the world. He had never heard it from Mu Tian Elder either. But soon, he was relieved. The Elder was merely a minor sect elder. How could he know these great secrets? From what the man had said before, it was not difficult to understand that when the demon god massacred all directions, he had already been hated by the top forces in the Illusion World. How could they help the demon god enhance his reputation? Perhaps the identity of the second King had been buried along with the demon god's demise. Time was the catalyst for amnesia. Millions of years had passed, and who would remember that there had been a second King in history?
Ye Yi sighed, "Star Lord, that was such a terrifying being. Once the Star Essence reached its full potential, one became a Star Lord. And those who practice Star Body cultivation must possess Star Essence. The Star Essence is the supreme essence of all things. It's unimaginable what terrifying power would be unleashed once the Star Body was fully formed. The might lies above the dominion. Apart from the Heavenly Emperor and the Illusion God Realm, no one can defeat it in a one-on-one battle. And the Heavenly Emperor, apart from being the first Star Lord, also achieved the status of a Heavenly Emperor. It's hard to imagine how awe-inspiring the Heavenly Emperor is."
"The elder brother Ye, do you wish to inherit the ancestral legacy and bring the Sky Demon Lineage back into existence? To tell the world that the Sky Demons still exist!" The man said with a resounding voice to Ye Yi.
Ye Yi said nothing. He nodded solemnly. The actions of the Sky Demons made him feel (awe-inspiring). However, the outcome was so dismal. He chose to accept the inheritance. Although this might bring him many very terrifying enemies, as long as he could return, as long as he could see his family again, and return to his homeland, it wouldn't matter if all the people in the world were enemies!
