356: Chapter 344: The Origin of the Demon Lord 356: Chapter 344: The Origin of the Demon Lord Mou Chen looked at the girl’s youthful yet delicate features and couldn’t help but be startled for a moment before his gaze settled on her slender waist. Hanging there was an Ancient Bronze Book, his pupil color deepened momentarily, and a dangerous mockery pressed from the depths of his eyes. So it turned out that the rumors were all true. Mou Chen casually raised his hand and patted his shoulder, where a bloodied wound instantly bloomed into a shiny white flower. The petals went from budding to withering in an instant, and his injury recovered as if it had never been. He lowered his head and chuckled, saying, “You don’t look a bit like your mother.” The girl’s eyebrows raised, seemingly a bit angry. Mou Chen continued to scrutinize her carefully, raising a finger and waving it back and forth, saying, “You also don’t look like your father.” The girl’s raised eyebrows sank, but this time, there was a hint of laughter in her eyes. As a thirteen-year-old girl, she would not deliberately hide her emotions; laughter meant happiness, so, in response, she began to converse with him. “Then, who do you think I look like?” The cold river water on Mou Chen’s body was gradually evaporated by an invisible current, the traces of water on his face disappeared, leaving his expression eerily pale and sinister. He laughed softly, “I think you don’t look like someone, but rather more like a member of the Demon Clan.” “Like a Demon Clan member… perched upon a cold throne,” the man’s voice grew deeper, even adopting a mysterious hoarseness. It seemed as though he was struggling to suppress complex emotions towards something, as if it were fear, yet also hatred. The girl’s expression remained unchanged; she shook her head and said, “I may look like a member of the Demon Clan, but I am not one.” She looked at the youth, with an inexplicable smile in her eyes, “You look like a human, yet you are a true member of the Demon Clan.” Mou Chen’s face became shadowed, his smiling visage disappeared, showing an exceptionally cold and ruthless face. He said softly, “You, a child of the Human Emperor, flowing with the blood of a True Immortal in your veins, why forsake your own honor and rely on the Demon Clan’s Holy Object, the ‘Bai Ye Luo Book,’ to cling to life?” The girl lifted her bright and youthful brows, with no trace of annoyance from being insulted, slightly tilting her head and laughing, “If I can live, why not live well?” She did not explain to the Demon Clan youth before her that it was not she who chose the ‘Bai Ye Luo Book,’ but rather this sacred artifact of the Demon Sect that chose a person on the brink of death. The ancient scroll became complete because of one destined to die. The girl close to death received a new life thanks to the ancient scroll. The birth history of the ‘Bai Ye Luo Book’ was not a secret to the Mortal World. The ruler of the Demon World perished in the flesh three thousand years ago; sacrificing a hundred thousand members of the Demon Clan as the price, the soul of the Demon Lord was secretly hidden in a forbidden place, which even Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan could not deduce its location. The vitality of the Demon Clan was greatly wounded; they sealed themselves away in the Demon Realm, silent for over a thousand years, the position of Demon Lord remaining ownerless. Mi Lu, elder son of the Demon Lord, was revered by the endless True Demons of the Demon Clan’s lands, rising to the position of Young Lord of the Demon Clan. On the day the seal of the Demon Territory was to be opened, in an attempt to reclaim the territories of the three thousand planes of the Demon Realm, he waged war for over a hundred years. The Demon Clan’s dimension was about to unite, yet it was refused and faced defiance by the Corpse Demon Clan. During Mi Lu’s cultivation career, he had been invincible in tribal wars and had unavoidably become proud. Seeing the Corpse Demon Clan’s cold rejection, he waged a great war. However, he underestimated the strength of the Corpse Demon Clan and was crushed by Si Li of the Royal Family alone, amidst thousands of soldiers. It was the most shameful battle for the Demon Clan. It would have been tolerable if the Demon Realm’s Crown Prince had died in that battle. But instead, their Young Lord was beaten back to his original form by Si Li of the Royal Family; his demon bones extracted, his Soul Technique fallen, and he was sealed into an egg, suppressed within the Demon Cave. As the Demon Clan again fell into an unprecedented period of profound grief, the gods of All Heavens in the Immortal World naturally did not miss this opportunity to suppress them. Twelve Golden Immortals went to the Demon World, almost entirely annihilating the land of the Demon Clan. The Demon World’s clans had no choice but to temporarily elect the Demon Lord’s young daughter to ascend to the throne, holding temporary control of royal authority. The young Female Demon Lord, with less prestige than her brother and lesser cultivation, had taken an action that astounded everyone when the Demon Clan was on the brink of extinction. She transformed her demon bones into a book and poured True Immortal blood over copper, creating an Ancient Bronze Book. With just a single Bone Book, she instantly killed twelve Golden Immortals and refined them into the Twelve Heavenly Demons, concealed within the ‘Bai Ye Luo Book.’ After this battle, the word ‘temporary’ was naturally removed from her title as the acting Demon Lord, and she was granted the crown of authority. The story of the ‘Bai Ye Luo Book’ was known to all; people also knew the Demon Lord’s bones were extraordinary, but that drop of True Immortal blood had become a secret no one knew. Why did a powerless young Female Demon Lord possess True Immortal blood? Why did the fusion of demon bones and fresh blood create such a terrifying ‘Bai Ye Luo Book’? None of this could be verified. But what people knew was that the young girl who was the Demon Lord grew up amidst time and war to become a true Demon Lord, capable of shaking the Four Seas and Eight Desolates. Later on, the Female Demon Lord, who had only ascended the throne for two hundred years, disappeared without a trace, yet her consciousness permeated the entire Demon Realm, guiding the Demon Clan to stabilize their lands. And the ‘Bai Ye Luo Book’ had become an ownerless entity, unreadable by anyone, and was worshipped as a Holy Object in the Demon Palace. The ‘Bai Ye Luo Book,’ having lost the power-sustaining force of the Demon Lord, the True Immortal blood began to dim and seal itself, and the Ancient Bronze Book started to rust and was on the verge of withering when it encountered its second rightful owner. Its master was not a Demon Lord but a girl from the snow mountains of Kunlun. And this girl, upon appearance, bore a nine-point resemblance to their Demon Lord. This was Mou Chen’s second actual encounter with the daughter of the Emperor, the uniquely gifted little Kunlun. He did not believe that the girl before him was their King, for she merely bore resemblance, without a hint of the divine. Little Kunlun’s eyes brimmed as she looked at him, a color of disappointment showing, saying, “Boring. I thought you would kneel in fear when you saw me.” Even Mou Chen, who was naturally cruel and cold as a member of the Demon Clan, could not help but laugh at this statement, “Even if you are cast from the same mold as the Demon Lord, what of it? You are not her?” His smile turned mocking, and he slowly raised his pale right hand, saying, “Moreover, this should be our second meeting.” From Mou Chen’s fingertips, a rusty nail appeared, blackened at its body, the tip reflecting the cold moonlight, gleaning with a malevolent sheen. Little Kunlun’s eyes widened, staring at the object in his hand, her body stiffening slightly. For she recognized the identity of the person before her, even though he was cloaked in a human’s skin and did not reveal a trace of his presence. But the nail in his hand, she was not unfamiliar with. It was the Evil Soul Nail. Two thousand years ago, she had died under this Evil Soul Nail.
