Best Young Master

Chapter 1969: Chapter 1834: The Origin of the Demon Clan (Make-up 1)

The vast aura surged out and then was instantly withdrawn, without causing the slightest ripple.

Ye Fan was overwhelmed with excitement. After absorbing so much Divine Energy, Elder Xuan had finally awakened again.

"What’s going on? Where did you get so much Divine Energy?"

After restraining the aura of the Emperor Weapon, Elder Xuan questioned Ye Fan.

Last time, when they pierced through the Heavenly Prison, the energy of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was almost exhausted, and Elder Xuan thus fell into slumber. Without a hundred years, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to awaken on his own again.

However——

Elder Xuan was astonished to find that at this moment, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown had fully recovered, Divine Energy overflowing, emanating wisps of Emperor’s Might.

This shocked him to the core!

"Here’s how it went..."

Ye Fan recounted the entire course of events to Elder Xuan without leaving anything out, and in the end asked Elder Xuan what he should do.

"The Ancient Road before the Primordial Era, huh!"

Elder Xuan sighed endlessly. He had never expected that Ye Fan would accidentally break into the long-abandoned Xing Kong Gu Road from before the Primordial Era, and then follow this Ancient Road all the way to the Demon World.

"Do you know what the Demon World is?"

The two communicated with their consciousness. Elder Xuan never manifested from beginning to end, and only questioned him within Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness.

Ye Fan was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I don’t know!"

He truly didn’t know. These kinds of creatures had no blood and Qi, used Death Energy as the source of their Cultivation, yet in appearance they were no different from the Human Race. This situation was far too bizarre.

"The Demon World is actually the main body of this Tian Zang Island, a world evolved from a shattered Ancient Star of Life."

Elder Xuan spoke slowly and in detail, telling Ye Fan the entire origin and history of the Demon World without omission, leaving Ye Fan dumbfounded.

It turned out the Demon World was a gigantic world cage, a place for breeding and researching Human-shaped creatures.

Back then in that great war, countless elite strong people of the Human Race fell in battle, but some did not die. They were captured as prisoners by the Human-shaped creatures.

After the war ended, the most powerful among the Human-shaped creatures used heaven‑piercing Mana to gather several shattered Ancient Stars of Life together, forming a new Ancient Star.

However, on this Ancient Star there was no life at all—no vegetation, no water, nothing.

After tens of thousands of years of natural evolution, signs of life finally appeared on this Ancient Star, but there was not the slightest aura of life.

This was the result of interference by the Human-shaped creatures. No matter what animals or plants appeared, all took Death Energy as their Primordial source.

At this point, the rough framework of the Demon World had initially taken shape.

And at this time, those Human strong people of the Human Race captured by the Human-shaped creatures, after mating with them, gave birth to some mixed‑blood descendants.

The ambitions of the Human-shaped creatures were enormous. They wanted to dominate the entire universe, and the Human Race and Demon Clan were their greatest obstacles.

As for the Demon Clan, the Human-shaped creatures hadn’t found any particularly effective methods yet, but the Human Race and the Human-shaped creatures were already quite similar in appearance.

They took this as a breakthrough point, attempting to create an entirely new kind of life, something between the Human Race and themselves, yet obedient to their will.

Thus, these first-generation mixed‑bloods were placed in this world, allowed to evolve on their own, to see if they could discover the weaknesses of the Human Race.

In order to prevent them from breaking through this world, the Human-shaped creatures imposed a Forbidden on this world, making it impossible to traverse the Star Domain.

It was just like the Human Race penning livestock, setting these first‑generation mixed‑bloods loose on this Ancient Star and letting them slaughter each other to accelerate the pace of evolution.

What they wanted was a brand‑new lifeform that could Cultivate the martial arts and secret technique of the Human Race, possess the blood and Qi of the Human Race, and at the same time absorb Death Energy to Cultivate their martial arts.

If their experiment succeeded, they could infiltrate the planets of the Human Race at any time to gather intelligence.

In the end, they still failed!

The Demon Clan they created, although extremely powerful and in appearance indistinguishable from the Human Race, had a fatal flaw—they lacked the blood and Qi of Humans!

This was an incomplete failure. The Human-shaped creatures were unwilling to accept it, yet they were helpless and could only acquiesce to this fact.

Every once in a while, they would select some elites from the Demon World and take them back to their own world for careful training, preparing them for future campaigns into the Star Domain of the Human Race.

In the previous few dark uprisings, the shadows of the Demon Clan could be seen everywhere. They were the vanguard of the Human-shaped creatures’ army, commonly known as cannon fodder.

"Elder Xuan, then how can I leave?"

After understanding all this, Ye Fan was filled with anxiety.

If he followed the Judges to the lair of the Death Creatures, he feared that some Super Strong Man there might see through his disguise.

Once exposed, in the lair of the Human-shaped creatures, it would almost certainly mean death.

"There’s no way. The Demon World, including this Tian Zang Island, has no channels leading out. Only by going to the lair of the Human-shaped creatures can you leave—that place connects to other parts of the universe. For now we can only pray for luck and take it one step at a time." Elder Xuan said.

"What comes next will be very dangerous!"

Ye Fan could only helplessly accept this reality, while also feeling an immense sense of crisis.

After all, that was the lair of the Human-shaped creatures!

Who knew what would be there...

In the days that followed, Ye Fan did not absorb a single wisp of Death Energy for Cultivation. Instead, under Elder Xuan’s guidance, he once again Sealing his own blood and Qi.

Very soon, a month passed.

Deathly radiance coiled all over Ye Fan’s body. Like a bolt of lightning, he shot into the sky and rushed out of Tian Zang Island.

At the same time, the others also burst out one after another, gathering near Tian Zang Island.

"Very good. Compared to a month ago, all of you have made great progress. This shows that your talent and comprehension are both quite good!"

The Judges stood high above, overlooking the crowd and said, "Based on your respective performance and degree of improvement, I will now announce your ranking order. If anyone is unconvinced, you may directly challenge someone ranked above you. As long as you can defeat them, their position will become yours."

"Tu Sihai, first place."

"Luo Yifu, second place."

"Zi Yefan, third place."

"..."

"Luo Landu, tenth place!"

The order of the ten was quickly set. No one was unconvinced, and no one challenged those ranked above them. These rankings were carved out with strength; they were very clear about the gap between themselves and the others.

"No one has any objections?"

The Judges said coldly, "Good, then we depart immediately. We’ll return to Ancient Demon City first. You have ten days to reunite with your clansmen. Ten days later, I will take you into the Upper Realm."

As he spoke, two beams of light shot out from the Judges’ eyes. The Void split open at once, and a special altar appeared before everyone, only the size of a house, hanging suspended in the Void.

Under the guidance of the Judges, Ye Fan and the others stepped onto the altar, then, just like when they had come, they sprinkled fresh blood to activate the altar.

The Judges uttered strange syllables, using the Nameless Spell to start the altar. A beam of light shot out, piercing through the Void.

Ye Fan and the others set foot on the road of return.

No one knew how long had passed when everyone suddenly shuddered, rushing out of the Void Channel and landing on the altar within the Ancient Hall.

Looking at the familiar scene around them, everyone felt as if they had just woken from a dream. They could hardly believe that this past month had actually been spent on a mysterious Tian Zang Island.

"Remember, you only have ten days. Ten days from now, assemble here!"

The icy voice faded away, and the Judges had long since vanished without a trace.

"Everyone, come to the Holy Demon Hall!"

They walked down from the Ancient Hall in the Void, and before they could leave, a majestic voice rang in their ears.

It was the voice of the Ancient Demon King!

The ten did not dare neglect the summons and went directly toward the Holy Demon Hall.

Entering the Holy Demon Hall, they saw that the Judges were already there. He stood on a stone platform in the middle of the great hall, back to everyone, like a carved statue.

The City Lord, the Ancient Demon King, stood to the side. Even though there was a seat behind him, he did not sit.

"The Judges has already told me your rankings. Now I announce that I will carry out the Judges’ decision—the ranking list of the Ten Great Families will be delivered to your clans at the same time as you."

The Ancient Demon King swept his gaze over them and continued, "Your clans will benefit because of you. From now on, every year, a large amount of resources will be tilted toward your clans, fully supporting your clans!"

"Long live the Ancient Demon King, long live the Judges!"

The others burst into cheers, each of them incomparably excited. This was their glory, and also the glory of their clans.

Only Tu Sihai, Luo Yifu, and Ye Fan remained calm, showing no reaction.

Tu Sihai and Luo Yifu felt that their rankings were well-deserved; there was nothing to be particularly excited about.

As for Ye Fan, he was completely unmoved. All of this was within his expectations.

"All right, you may each go back now!"

The Ancient Demon King waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.

The others filed out of the great hall one after another, but Ye Fan did not move. Luo Landu gave Ye Fan a surprised glance and said calmly, "Master, I’ll wait for you outside."

After speaking, he left the hall together with the others.

At this moment, only Ye Fan, the Ancient Demon King, and the Judges remained in the entire hall.

No, it should be said there were only two people, as the Judges could not really be counted as a person.

"Do you still have something?" The Ancient Demon King was in high spirits and asked Ye Fan with a smile.

"Heavenly King, I would like to ask you for something!" Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

He felt that the Purple Demon Family was weak. Even though they had leapt to become the third largest clan in the entire Demon World, to truly rise would still take a long time. He wanted the Ancient Demon King to look after them a little.

"What is it? As long as it’s something I can do, I will definitely agree," the Ancient Demon King said.

His impression of Ye Fan could not be better. Relying on the resources of a Xiao family, to possess such Combat Power was simply a miracle.

He now already treated Ye Fan like a precious treasure.

"It’s like this..."

Ye Fan said, "I’m sure you know as well that the Purple Demon Family has been weak for a long time and previously suffered a heavy blow. It’s impossible for them to rise quickly. I hope that after I leave, Heavenly King, you can take care of them a bit and protect the rise of the Purple Demon Family."

"No problem. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect the Purple Demon Family so they can rise smoothly. You can completely rest assured on this point. I am still hoping that the Purple Demon Family will produce another Zi Yefan!"

The Ancient Demon King said with a hearty laugh.

"In addition, Heavenly King, after I leave, I hope you can support Zi Huan to become Clan Leader."

"That’s absolutely no problem!"

The Ancient Demon King agreed readily. In his eyes, Ye Fan’s potential was limitless; in the future he might very well grow into someone even he would have to look up to. To form a good relationship with Ye Fan now was nothing but beneficial!
