In her previous life, Han Wei painstakingly cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, only to die under the celestial thunder meant for ascending to immortality. When she opened her eyes a...
Chapter 133 The Former Lord of the Demon Realm
"That guy? Who is he?" Han Wei asked curiously.
Han Yu uttered a name that surprised Han Wei: "Tianren Demon Lord".
"What? Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord?" Han Wei exclaimed in surprise. She remembered the demon she encountered in the Star Luo Realm; it was because of her that she was forced to make Gu Qi self-destruct. Han Wei had experienced too much in the past thousand years, and when she was telling Han Yu just now, she only briefly mentioned what she considered unimportant or didn't want to talk about.
She didn't mention Tianren Demon Lord's name, but she never expected to hear it from her third uncle.
"Have you ever met someone who calls himself the Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord?" Han Yu asked.
Han Wei nodded: "The demon I encountered in the Star Luo Realm was him. Third Uncle, have you also been to the Star Luo Realm?"
Han Yu shook his head: "I haven't been there. The Heavenly Demon Lord you met and the one I met are not the same one."
Seeing how certain he was, Han Wei became even more puzzled. What did he mean by "not the same one"? Were there many demons called "Tianren Demon Lord"? But considering the vastness of the myriad worlds, such a thing didn't seem so surprising.
"The Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord was the ruler of the Demon Realm eighty million years ago. He died at the hands of the Jade Purity Heavenly Emperor. Although this guy is dead, he is still a centipede even after it dies. He still has many clones scattered throughout the myriad realms. For tens of millions of years, these clones have been fighting and devouring each other."
"The Tianren Demon Lord you met and the Tianren Demon Lord I met were both incarnations of the former Demon Lord of the Demon Realm," Han Yu said.
Han Wei was utterly shocked. She hadn't expected this! The Demon Realm, the Lord of the Demon Realm! The Demon Realm was one of the Nine Primordial Realms; the Lord of the Demon Realm must be an incredibly terrifying being. Even in her previous life, when she cultivated to the Tribulation Transcending stage, she had never been to any of the Nine Primordial Realms. She had no idea what they were like.
She listened attentively to what Han Yu said:
"The clone of the Heavenly Demon Lord that I encountered was very weak, but even though he was weak, I was still no match for him. He wanted to possess me because he had no body, but he failed. We ended up in the same body and kept fighting."
"We have been fighting for control of my body for hundreds of years. Every time he takes control of my body, he kills indiscriminately and makes enemies everywhere. What can I say to those enemies who come looking for me? I can only keep killing. My demonic nature is getting stronger and stronger, and I can only live in seclusion."
"Later, I encountered another clone of the Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord. That guy wanted to devour me, but he failed and was instead devoured by me. However, after I devoured him, his consciousness immediately became stronger. In order to prevent his consciousness from devouring me, I had no choice but to seal myself in this Wuzhong Mountain."
"This entire Wuzhong Mountain is sealed. As long as we leave here, that guy will come out."
Han Wei looked at Han Yu in shock, then looked around and saw that the entire Wuzhong Mountain was sealed.
"If you hadn't fallen here, I wouldn't have known you existed, and I wouldn't have been able to save you," Han Yu said, looking at Han Wei.
Han Wei asked, "Third Uncle, what about you now...?"
"I am now also an avatar of the Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord," Han Yu said. From the moment he was possessed, he had become an avatar of the Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord. Although that guy failed to possess him, his primordial spirit and Han Yu's primordial spirit began to merge from that moment on. After devouring another avatar of the Heavenly Benevolent Demon Lord, the fusion accelerated.
It's quite remarkable that Han Yu can still maintain self-awareness to this day.
“I am merging with him.”
Upon hearing this, Han Wei's eyes widened in shock. She looked at Han Yu, her eyes filled with worry: "Fusion?"
“He failed to possess me, and from that moment on, I began to merge with him. Memories of Tianren Demon Lord always appear in my mind. Sometimes, I even feel like I am him.” Han Yu looked at his hands, revealing his struggle and pain.
Han Wei wore a sorrowful expression, lowered her head, and felt heartbroken. She had finally learned that she had a relative, only to be told that he might one day disappear and be devoured.
"Third Uncle, is there anything I can do to help you?" Han Wei asked.
Han Yu looked at her and shook her head: "You can't help."
Han Wei was even more upset. Yes, she was only in the Fusion Stage, she was too weak, and there was no way she could help.
"Third Uncle, where is this place?" Han Wei asked.
"This realm is called the Blood Slaughter Realm, a world formed from a fragment of the Demon Realm. Like the Cloud Mist Realm, it is a closed interface. If you want to leave here, you have to go to Broken Realm Mountain and find the realm gate there. There is still a realm gate there that has not completely disappeared."
"Because of the special nature of the Demon Realm fragments, it's almost impossible to open a passage out using other means," Han Yu said.
Han Wei then asked, "How far is Duanjie Mountain from here?"
“The Broken Boundary Mountain is hundreds of millions of miles away from here. If you go there, it will be extremely dangerous with your current cultivation level,” Han Yu said.
Han Wei reached out and touched the jade pendant on her chest, thinking of Lu Qingheng. She said, "Someone is waiting for me. I must leave here."
“I’m stuck here and can’t get out. If you go to Broken Boundary Mountain, I can’t help you,” Han Yu said.
Han Wei looked at him and said, "I have to go. He can't wait for me for much longer. I've been tossed about in that spatial turbulence for who knows how long. I can't keep him waiting any longer. He's just a mortal. I can't let him keep waiting."
"A mortal?" Han Yu frowned.
“Third Uncle, I’m already married. His name is Lu Qingheng, and he’s a mortal,” Han Wei said.
Han Yu looked shocked: "Why would you choose a mortal?"
His tone was stern, and his expression even revealed a hint of anger.
Han Wei lowered her head and said, "He...he is the reincarnation of Master..."
Han Yu was even more shocked. His eyes widened, and after a long while, he said, "Reincarnation? Gu Qi's reincarnation? Are you sure?"
Han Wei nodded: "I'm sure."
Han Yu remained silent.
The uncle and nephew remained silent for a long time. Han Wei raised her head and looked at Han Yu, saying, "Third Uncle, Aheng only has a hundred years of life left. I don't even know how long I've made him wait. I must go back as soon as possible. Third Uncle, do you have a map? I need to go to Duanjie Mountain."
Han Yu looked at her face, his hand on the table clenched into a fist:
"Did you marry him because he's the reincarnation of your master?"
Han Wei shook her head: "No, I love him."
"A mere mortal?" Han Yu asked.
"right."
“Even if he were just a mortal, I would still love him,” Han Wei said resolutely. Her love for Lu Qingheng had nothing to do with Gu Qi. Even if he wasn’t Gu Qi’s reincarnation, she had already fallen in love with him in her past life.
Han Yu gave her a deep look, then looked away, stood up, and took a few steps back.
"Third Uncle?" Han Wei also stood up.
