"...Several small towns around the core area of the Eternal Night Royal Family were suddenly shrouded in black fog overnight. All the people in the town, whether they were powerful profound practitioners or powerless women and children, all died in the black fog... Soon, all the accusations were directed at the Eternal Night Royal Family. This was because when the Eternal Night Royal Family's core profound skill, the 'Eternal Night Fantasy God Record', was activated, the black fog would surround them. Those who died under the 'Eternal Night Fantasy God Record' also had their bodies turned black and were entangled in black fog, which would not dissipate for several days."
"...Afterwards, the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region took the lead in launching an attack, calling the 'Eternal Night Royal Family' an evil demon family that massacred innocent people in order to increase their magic power. Then, in the name of protecting the Profound Sky Continent and eliminating demons and defending the Way, they joined forces with the other three holy places to encircle and suppress the Eternal Night Royal Family..."
This was what Feng Qianhui had told him about the Eternal Night Royal Family back then, and what he had described was the accusation that the Tianwei Sword Domain had placed on the Eternal Night Royal Family.
The name of the "Eternal Night Magic Codex" can be changed, but its "darkness" attribute cannot be changed. Therefore, the color of the Eternal Night Royal Family's profound energy is black...
Using despicable means, Tianwei Sword Domain framed the Eternal Night Royal Family as "the evil demon clan".
However, Tianwei Sword Domain would never have dreamed that the Eternal Night Royal Family, who carried the devil soul or devil blood and practiced the "Eternal Night Fantasy Demon Canon", could indeed be called the demon clan!
Moreover, they are from the ancient demon clan!
“Jasmine, you said earlier that Fen Juechen’s power increased dramatically because he merged with a demon soul. Could it be that demon soul is the residual soul of Ye Mufeng that was sealed in the Soul Sealing Coffin?” Yun Che gradually sorted out Jasmine’s story in his mind, and he also had a rough outline in his mind of the things she didn’t mention.
"Back then, after the Soul Sealing Coffin was opened by Fen Juechen, Ye Mufeng's remaining soul wanted to take over Fen Juechen's body, because Fen Juechen was filled with deep resentment and extremely negative emotions, making him a perfect host body given by God. But Fen Juechen's willpower was too strong, and when he tried to devour Fen Juechen's soul, he was counterattacked. At the same time, he also discovered that Fen Juechen was Ye Huang after reincarnation, so he gave up struggling and let Fen Juechen devour his demon soul. At the same time, with the last bit of his willpower, he transferred the source power that was locked in the demon soul into Fen Juechen's body, allowing him to slowly absorb and integrate it."
“Is this ‘absorption and fusion’ also a feature of the Eternal Night Demon Clan, or the ‘Eternal Night Illusionary Demonic Scripture’?” Yun Che asked immediately after. Because Jasmine had clearly said that the direct transfer and inheritance of profound energy was harder to achieve than ascending to heaven.
But Fen Juechen's absorption and fusion of the magic source was obviously a direct transfer or inheritance of the profound power. In just a few years, he leaped from the Spiritual Profound Realm to the Sovereign Profound Realm. It was a mythical leap across five realms!
"Of course not! Otherwise, how could the demons be defeated by the gods in ancient times? The reason why this happened is just a very special and somewhat strange coincidence created by the forbidden reincarnation technique." Jasmine said calmly. She was also very surprised and puzzled that Fen Juechen could directly absorb the demon source hidden in his body, but now she spoke very calmly. Obviously, the truth of the matter was not out of her cognition.
"coincide?"
“I just said that a thousand years ago, in order to imprison Ye Huang’s soul and cast the forbidden reincarnation technique on him, the Eternal Night royal family separated 20% of Ye Mufeng’s soul and merged it into Ye Huang’s soul, making Fen Juechen’s soul essentially a combination of Ye Huang’s and Ye Mufeng’s souls, with Ye Huang’s soul as the main part. And this strand of Ye Mufeng’s soul and the remnant soul of Ye Mufeng that he devoured in front of the Soul Sealing Coffin are from the same person, but they are completely different in nature. The latter is the prey that he devoured later, while the former is his root soul!”
Yun Che: “~! @#￥%…”
"Since this 20% of the root soul was originally Ye Mufeng's soul, it is perfectly compatible with Ye Mufeng's magic source. This also allows Fen Juechen's entire soul to be compatible with Ye Mufeng's magic source to a certain extent. Coupled with the complete obedience of the magic source, Fen Juechen can directly absorb and integrate the power of the magic source into his own power."
"However, this 'matching' is only a small part after all. Therefore, although Fen Juechen can directly absorb the magic source, the speed is still relatively slow. After several years, he has only absorbed less than half of it. Moreover, the absorption process... especially the initial process is extremely painful. Moreover, due to the existence of 'incompatibility', when he carries this power, his body and soul are constantly suffering from the pain of being torn apart... I'm afraid that ordinary people can't even endure that kind of pain."
“…” Yun Che was silent. This should be the “hell” that Fen Juechen mentioned.
"At the same time, the incompatible external power will also greatly reduce his life span. If he maintains his current state and does not continue to absorb, he can only live for another three years at most. And if he continues to absorb the magic source, the remaining life span will only be shortened again." Jasmine sneered: "Humph, the direct transfer and inheritance of power is not so easy! If it were someone else, facing this price, even if the power was ten times stronger, it would be absolutely impossible to accept it. Only someone like Fen Juechen, whose life is bleak, would choose this desperate path."
“So, you both have two lives, but you are blessed by the Samsara Mirror, and your luck is so good that you can be punished by heaven! As for Fen Juechen… he can even be called the most miserable existence in the entire Profound Sky Continent. He drags his broken life and broken soul, carries the hatred of two clans and two lives, and has to endure the pain of living a life worse than death with every breath.”
"I paid such a price to gain this power, but you still defeated me and spared my life once again... Humph, I'm afraid the resentment, humiliation and hatred I feel must be so deep that you can't even imagine."
"I did think about killing him before, but since he is so pitiful, I'd better let him live. He won't live for many years anyway, and with me here, he can't kill you no matter what." Jasmine's tone changed slightly, and she said meaningfully, "Even if I'm not here, he probably can't kill you. Let him live and kill other people he wants to kill. After all, among those he wants to kill the most, you are the last one."
“The other person he wants to kill… could it be someone from the Four Sacred Grounds?” Yun Che asked.
"Of course! After all, it was the Four Sacred Lands that wiped out the innocent Eternal Night royal family, and it was also the root cause of his two tragedies. His only purpose in living now is 'revenge'!"
The word "revenge" made Yun Che think of his last seven years in Cangyun Continent...
The only purpose of living is revenge... Isn't this the voice that filled my soul almost every day, every night, every breath, and even every moment during those seven years...
Perhaps, there is one person in this world who can truly understand Fen Juechen’s completely twisted beliefs at this moment… and that is Yun Che.
But the difference is that at that time, besides revenge, he also had Ling'er...
only……
“When revenge becomes the only belief, any advice or resistance will not be of any use. However, with the little life he has left, no matter how fast he grows, how can he endanger the level of the Holy Land, let alone revenge…” Yun Che paused, and suddenly thought of something, frowning and said: “A thousand years ago, Ye Mufeng’s strength was not stronger than any Holy Land Master, but after releasing the devil blood, it took the masters of the four Holy Lands to join forces to defeat him. Fen Juechen is also a royal bloodline, can he also…”
“Of course!” Jasmine responded confidently, “Although my bloodline has lost 30% of its original strength due to the forbidden art of reincarnation, I still have about 70% of it. Moreover, Fen Juechen has already known how to unlock the magic blood in my bloodline.”
"That is... the Heavenly Sin Sword!"
“…No wonder he wanted to participate in the Devil Sword Conference and obtain the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword.” Yun Che whispered, “So it was to release the imprisoned Devil Blood. Since the key to releasing the Devil Blood lies in the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, then, will he be able to control the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword afterwards?”
“No!” Jasmine shook her head: “Back then, Ye Mufeng was far superior to Fen Juechen in terms of profound strength and devil blood concentration. Even after fully releasing his devil blood, he still did not have the ability to control the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword. Speaking of which…” Jasmine glanced at Yun Che: “Aren’t you curious about why the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword can release the devil blood of the Eternal Night royal family?”
“I guess… the ‘demon blood’ of the Eternal Night royal family came from that Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, right?” Yun Che said cautiously.
“Hmph, you guessed right!” Jasmine unknowingly walked to the soundproof barrier she had set up for Hong’er. Looking at the sleeping Hong’er, her cold eyes suddenly softened. “According to Ye Mufeng’s memory, more than 10,000 years ago, the Heavenly Sin Sword was accidentally found by the ancestor who founded the Eternal Night royal family in a desolate place in the south of the continent. When the ancestor of the Eternal Night picked it up, he did not feel the power of the sword, but instead felt a strange and eerie aura. When he was about to discard it, he accidentally touched a drop of black liquid on the hilt… The moment he touched it, the drop of black liquid instantly penetrated into his body.”
“Devil…blood!?” Yun Che asked in amazement.
"The devil blood entered his body. Although the blood power contained in it was very weak, the level was too high, causing his profound strength to undergo a qualitative change in a short period of time. Even his soul was affected, causing his temperament to change drastically. However, fortunately, the Eternal Night Ancestor's profound strength was extremely strong. Although his temperament became irritable and easily angered, it was far from the point of being heartless and bloodthirsty. Moreover, he basically retained his complete rationality and clearly knew that his temperament change was caused by that drop of devil blood."
"So, after he founded the Eternal Night royal family, he set a strict order that his direct descendants must take advantage of the weakness of their bloodline after they are born to imprison at least 90% of the demonic blood in their bloodline! Unless they encounter a catastrophic disaster, they must never release it. This has been the case for the entire ten thousand years of inheritance. And the Heavenly Sin Sword has also become the 'holy object' and 'forbidden object' of the entire family, guarded from generation to generation. Except for the King of Eternal Night of each generation, no one in the family is allowed to approach or touch it, let alone let it fall into the hands of outsiders. The name 'Heavenly Sin Sword' was also given by the ancestor of Eternal Night, implying that anyone who touches it is committing a sin of heavenly punishment!"
“Then what about the Eternal Night Illusionary Demonic Tome? Where did it come from?” Yun Che asked.
“It’s also the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword!” Jasmine’s eyebrows sank slightly. “The Eternal Night Illusionary Demonic Codex was obtained from the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword by the Eternal Night ancestor who picked up the sword. He removed the word ‘demon’ and renamed it ‘Eternal Night Illusionary God Record’. As for how it was obtained, it is not mentioned in the memory inheritance of the Eternal Night royal family. It is obvious that they do not want future generations to know. It was also with the help of the rare devil bloodline and the Eternal Night Illusionary Demonic Codex that the Eternal Night royal family used a very short period of time to possess the highest level of strength in the Profound Sky Continent.”
“The devil blood… the Eternal Night Illusion Demonic Scripture… they all came from the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword! Where did the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword come from? Why is there devil blood and devil power on it that wiped out a clan millions of years ago?” Yun Che asked with a serious face. Perhaps, this was the key to everything.
Jasmine’s face was also solemn. “This is exactly what I care about the most. Before the Eternal Night Ancestor picked it up, there was no record of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword in the Profound Sky Continent. It was as if it appeared out of thin air. The Eternal Night Royal Family didn’t know where it came from, and neither did anyone else. However, we should be able to find out the answer soon…”
"Go to the Supreme Ocean Palace in two months. While you are investigating the Moon-Slaying Demon Cave, you can also attend the Demon Sword Conference! I want to see what is hidden in the Heavenly Sin Sword! I just hope that the things inside will not be dispersed in these ten thousand years!"
Jasmine’s voice was slightly low, because the reappearance of the demon blood and demon power that had been extinct for a million years would surely be a major event that shocked the entire world even if it happened in the Realm of the Gods. However, her expression was very firm and calm, because in the plane of the Profound Sky Continent, even if she could only exert a very small part of her power, nothing could escape her control.
“I understand.” Yun Che nodded, then took a deep breath and fell into a long period of contemplation while digesting everything that Jasmine had told him today.
"What are you thinking about? Do you suddenly feel that the world you have seen in these two lifetimes is simply insignificant?" Jasmine slightly raised her delicate face like a porcelain doll, with a sophisticated tone and attitude.
“I was thinking about… Fen Juechen.” Yun Che raised his head and looked at the white world of the Sky Poison Pearl: “He is indeed as you said, extremely pitiful and sad. And the most pitiful thing about him is that… he thought he had nothing, no relatives, and only hatred, but under the arrangement of fate, he found the soul of his father in his previous life. However, this father did not give him the warmth of family affection and the support to survive. Instead, he used him as a sustenance for revenge… It can even be said that he was a tool.”
Ye Mufeng's remaining soul recognized that Fen Juechen was Ye Huang. He should have known that after handing over his memories and magic source to Fen Juechen, he would gain great power, but at the same time he would also suffer pain that ordinary people could not imagine. Even his life would be reduced to only a few years, turning him into a walking corpse with only "revenge" in his mind...
Back then, they spared no expense and violated the teachings of their ancestors to cast the forbidden reincarnation technique on the deceased Ye Huang, just to keep him alive and leave a trace of blood for the Yongye royal family. But a thousand years later, the remaining soul of Ye Mufeng personally destroyed everything, and completely destroyed the son he had saved with great difficulty...
This is absolutely not something a father should do.
“If Fen Juechen can succeed in his revenge now, I’m afraid he won’t have any attachment to the human world anymore.” Yun Che whispered with emotion. Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Lingxi’s figure suddenly flashed before his eyes…
Maybe, there is also...
Jasmine naturally knew what Yun Che was referring to, and sneered, “Ye Mufeng released his devil blood a thousand years ago, and his soul changed qualitatively, and his temperament naturally changed greatly. His remaining soul also endured a thousand years of torture. In his mind at that time, revenge became much more important than his son! This is the ‘devil’! The ‘devil’ that distorts human nature!”
“Demons… are indeed terrifying things! That fellow Fen Juechen…” Yun Che sighed helplessly, “I still hope he can live a few more years. Otherwise, my aunt’s heart, which is softer than cotton, will definitely be sad for a long time.”
“In addition, what he hates the most is probably the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. In this respect, he and I can be considered to have a common enemy… and we can also add the Sun and Moon Divine Palace.”
