Chapter 224: Nine Continents, Nine Clans, Nine Emperors
"Sigh, since the War of the Demon Gods, in the land of the Eight Continents, eight out of ten have been lost, which is not even comparable to the Four Continents or the Demon Continent. Otherwise, in the past, the Nine Continents were equal in size," said Heavenly Will Ancestor.
"Well, continuing our previous topic, why do you call me Young Master?" Yao Wuqing asked.
"The Nine Continents, Nine Clans, Nine Emperors. And you, Young Master, are the direct descendant of the Demon Emperor from back then!" Heavenly Will Ancestor said.
"Oh, and then?" Yao Wuqing calmly inquired.
"After the War of the Demon Gods, the Nine Emperors were all severely injured, their strength reduced to less than one-tenth. They were all heavily wounded by the tyrants of that time, and many perished. As for the other emperors, this old servant does not know much. However, regarding our lineage, this old servant knows a bit. After the great battle with the Demon Gods ended, Cultural Ancestor charged into our Demon Continent. The Demon Emperor was gravely injured and could not withstand Cultural Ancestor, who was also at the Demigod Realm, leading to his demise at their hands."
"Wait! The method to cultivate to Demigod was created by the Nine Emperors, but why can Cultural Ancestor also do it? Moreover, even if the Demon Emperor was heavily injured and possessed Void Demon Fire, he should not fear Cultural Ancestor, especially since he also had the Demon Blade!" Yao Wuqing questioned.
"Young Master, you are mistaken," Heavenly Will Ancestor paused for a moment before continuing: "First of all, what kind of proud individuals are the Nine Emperors? How could they possibly keep secret techniques for cultivating to Demigod Realm? Furthermore, with the existence of heavenly fire, who among them could be a match for the Nine Emperors except for divine beings?
Secondly, when the Demon Emperor fought against Cultural Ancestor, he did not possess Void Demon Fire! Moreover, after the War of the Demon Gods, the Demon Emperor sustained fatal injuries; thus, he came to possess the Demon Blade."
"I understand now. The Demon Emperor knew that his time was up and had someone take away the demon fire to prepare for a comeback. And as for the Demon Blade, could it be forged from the remains of the Demon Emperor?" Yao Wuqing asked.
"Exactly. Yes, that was indeed the plan of the Demon Emperor because refining demon fire requires a significant amount of time for adaptation. Even if the Demon Emperor immediately passed on the demon fire to his offspring, it would not be enough to fend off enemies; hence...the Demon Emperor fell. Later on, when many from the demon clan were collecting his body, they discovered his last words. Using the body of the Demon Emperor as material, they forged a weapon for passing down within the demon clan and commanded future generations of Demon Emperors to engrave their understanding of martial arts and Fighting Spirit into the Demon Blade; thus came about this Sacred Artifact!"
"Young Master, do you understand what this old servant is saying?" Heavenly Will Ancestor asked.
"Am I a descendant of the Demon Emperor? What about you all? And why is the inheritance of the Demon Blade associated with demon fire?" Yao Wuqing inquired.
“Young Master, you are the direct bloodline of the Demon Emperor. To put it bluntly, we are nothing more than treacherous ministers and thieves who usurped the master's throne.”
“Back then, the Demon Emperor ordered all Offspring to split into two groups. One group remained to coexist with Demon Emperor City, while the other consisted of the elite descendants of the demon race. Even if Demon Emperor City fell, we still had a chance for a Comeback! As expected, the Second Generation Demon Emperor did not disappoint; three hundred years later, he returned forcefully, reclaimed Demon Emperor City, and retrieved the Demon Blade. However, there were only five direct bloodlines of the Demon Emperor left.”
“After approximately ten thousand years, disaster struck the demon race once again. Alas, perhaps it is Heaven's Will, or maybe our demon race is simply not meant to perish. After ten thousand years of development, during the time of the Nine Emperors, oh no, it was actually Eight Emperors. When the War of the Demon Gods occurred, all members of the Chaos Emperor lineage had already fallen, leaving only the Eight Emperors.”
“After ten thousand years of development, only three emperors remained among the Eight Emperors: the Demon Emperor, the Thunder Emperor, and Emperor Yan. Four emperors perished during the era of the Demon Gods, while one emperor died at the hands of an enemy; the remaining three emperors were unable to provide aid in time.”
“At that moment, a Divine Relic descended from the heavens, driving the Demon Emperor, the Thunder Emperor, and Emperor Yan into madness! Why? Because within the Divine Relic was a Divine Status! Now, Young Master should understand that after reaching the Demigod Realm, without a Divine Status, one cannot comprehend the path of divinity or create a Divine Status, thus making it impossible to become a god.”
“I understand. So, did the Demon Emperor, the Thunder Emperor, and Emperor Yan go to obtain the Divine Relic? And they all fell? No, if they had fallen, then the Demon Blade could not possibly be in my hands; they must have returned heavily injured,” asked Yao Wuqing.
“Now that Young Master understands this principle, you can see why Demon Emperor City was renamed as such,” said Heavenly Will Ancestor helplessly.
“After returning severely injured, fearing that other Demigods would covet their Flame, they once again emulated what happened ten thousand years ago by sending their disciples away to preserve their strength for a future Comeback. Unfortunately, having witnessed what happened ten thousand years ago, today’s Demigods would not give the Demon Emperor another chance to rise again. Thus came my pursuit and near demise, right?” asked Yao Wuqing.
“Exactly, that is correct,” nodded Heavenly Will Ancestor.
“So without the Demon Emperor, did the demon race ultimately become a scattered group? Is that how your strongest clan, the Void Demon Dragon, came to power?” asked Yao Wuqing calmly.
“Young Master, please understand that our ancestors had no choice back then; otherwise, it would have led to mutual slaughter among our own kin,” quickly explained Heavenly Will Ancestor.
“There’s no need for so much explanation; I have no interest in the Demon Emperor. Moreover, your ancestors renaming it to Demon Emperor City is enough to show your loyalty to him. Even if you were to grant my clan, the Void Demon Dragon, his position now, what difference would it make?” said Yao Wuqing indifferently.
“Thank you, Young Master, for your understanding,” said Heavenly Will Ancestor respectfully.
“Elder Tianyi, do you think that when the Thunder Emperor and Emperor Yan entered the Divine Relic, they obtained something?” asked Yao Wuqing curiously.
"According to ancient texts, Emperor Yan acquired a top-grade Heavenly Artifact, the Flame God Pearl! He passed it down as a Sacred Artifact. Meanwhile, the Thunder Emperor obtained a pair of hammers—the Thunder God Hammer! These two weapons, along with the Demon Emperor's Demon Blade, are all top-grade Heavenly Artifacts," explained Heavenly Will Ancestor.
"The Demon Blade is also a top-grade Heavenly Artifact? Can a Demigod Realm corpse be used to forge a top-grade Heavenly Artifact?" Yao Wuqing asked in surprise.
"When the Demon Blade was originally forged, it was merely a top-grade Sacred Artifact. However, after thousands of years and tens of thousands of years of continuously absorbing blood through Slaughter, the Demon Blade eventually advanced to a top-grade Heavenly Artifact," Elder Tianyi said.
"How many years ago was the War of the Demon Gods?" Yao Wuqing inquired.
"Over fifty thousand years," Heavenly Will Ancestor replied.
"Over fifty thousand years? Sigh, my own past is hard to trace. Forget it; killing the Void Heavenly Sovereign will count as revenge for my parents. Heavenly Will Ancestor, did you summon me just to tell me this secret?" Yao Wuqing asked.
"Please do not address me so formally; Young Master can simply call me Heaven's Will," Heavenly Will Ancestor hurriedly said.
"Then I'll call you Elder Tianyi," Yao Wuqing replied.
"Thank you, Young Master. Young Master, my lifespan is already less than a year; it is time for me to impart all my power to you. I hope Young Master can lead our Barbaric Demon Tribe towards a brighter future!" Elder Tianyi said respectfully.
"Your path is different from mine. Besides, I do not wish to take over Demon Emperor City. How about this: you can transfer all your Fighting Spirit into Yao Tianshang instead?" Yao Wuqing suggested.
"Tian Shang is already an Eightfold Battle Saint; he can only absorb up to one-tenth of the Fighting Spirit before reaching saturation," Elder Tianyi said.
