Chapter 839 The Rise of the Demon (Part 6)
"Come out on your own, or choose to be captured by me?"
A thick, black flame ignited on the palm of the hand, landing precisely in what would appear to be a blank space to an ordinary person.
Han Yi remained calm, his arm moving straight forward until it stopped in front of the empty space, motionless.
"..."
The phantom figure had no choice but to realize that it had been discovered.
They had hidden themselves very well and had no idea where they had slipped up.
He resigned himself to his fate, discarding his disguise and revealing his true form.
In reality, its so-called true form was nothing more than a pale, irregularly shaped shadow. "Tell me... what are you?" Han Yi lowered his head, observing the white shadow drifting through the air with interest. "You can't be a demon king, can you?"
He could sense the same aura emanating from the white figure as that of the Demon King Kuqi.
Strangely, his strength was so weak that it seemed he could easily crush him with a single finger.
There was absolutely no sense of overwhelming pressure when facing the Kuqi.
"..." The white figure fell silent, trembled like ripples on water, and slowly coalesced into a human face.
“They’re different… Kuqi is an ancient demon… not an ordinary demon king like me… They have infinite lifespans and are almost immortal…” The human face showed a helpless expression as he explained.
"I see..." Han Yi said thoughtfully after listening.
The Demon Realm is extremely vast, beyond imagination and beyond physical quantification.
It is boundless, and no one has been able to discover its boundaries.
Up, down, left, right...
From the deepest abyss to the outermost scorched earth... every layer is chaotic and teeming with countless races.
The deeper one goes into the demon realm, the purer the demonic energy becomes, the less chaotic it is, and the more orderly it is. Naturally, the demons that appear there become increasingly powerful.
The majority of those occupying the upper levels are still ordinary demons.
The ordinary demons mentioned here are compared to the original demons.
Ordinary demons, or demons formed through intercourse, or demons created by plundering external demonic energy and causing pollution, or even experimental weapons made by powerful demon lords.
The Primal Demons, also known as Ancient Demons, are a powerful race born alongside the Demon Realm, originating from its very essence. Each Primal Demon is born extraordinary, possessing immense power that crushes ordinary demons.
It can be said that, apart from its scarcity, it has no flaws.
Demon King Kuqi.
He was a member of the original demon race, the giant race, and one of the strongest among them, the Demon King.
In comparison.
Night stroll.
The demon king before me is an ordinary demon king from an ordinary race on the outermost layer.
They were far inferior in terms of natural strength.
The pressure it exerts is much less, so it doesn't attract much attention.
Even the seal he was in was created casually.
There was none of the three layers of seals that Kuqi had, layer upon layer, specifically targeting him. "So... ordinary demon kings like you... usually serve as the vanguard of invasions, clearing the way for ancient demons..." Han Yi narrowed his eyes, and the flames that had just been extinguished on his palm reignited.
After listening to all this bizarre and outlandish tales, I gained a lot of knowledge and broadened my horizons.
This basically resolved his doubts.
Night Wanderer and Kuqi were both demon invaders during the last demonic calamity.
The only difference is the identity sequence.
The weaker demon kings, like the Night Wanderer, infiltrate the human world silently through various means, creating chaos and causing turmoil, thus facilitating the subsequent large-scale demon army.
The number of deaths and injuries that will result in this process is by no means small.
Faced with a demon king of another race, returning everything to dust is the best course of action. "No, no, no!!!" Night Wanderer suddenly became agitated, his face contorted with tension. "Great Demon Devourer, I swear on my demonic soul, I have never intentionally harmed the innocent. My presence in the human realm was not my own doing; it was all driven by the Demon Lord, beyond my control..."
Ah!!! I can release my memories for you to view!
The approaching fiery hand, with its terrifying heat, sent shivers down his spine.
Before he could explain further, a white projection screen suddenly appeared in front of Han Yi.
The scenes depicted show how Ye You, who was free and unrestrained in the Demon Realm, was forced to come to the Human Realm. Before he could do anything, he was captured, imprisoned, and sealed away for thousands of years.
"Oh? What I'm seeing... could it be the truth?"
Unfortunately, Han Yi didn't believe it at all.
A demon king... claiming innocence... This feeling... is as ridiculous as a murderer claiming to be kind, righteous, and peace-loving. "This is a true story; you can watch with your mind at ease. There's no way it could be fake..." A clearly aggrieved expression appeared on the person's face.
If it weren't for the Demon Lord's order, why would he have left his race and come to the human realm?
Although the Demon Realm is strong overall, the Human Realm is no less powerful.
For most races in the demon realm, the human realm is also a dangerous melting pot. If they are not careful, they will be captured, dissected and studied to extract useful materials, or even eaten alive as cultivation materials.
"You still dare to make me relax?" Han Yi sneered, unmoved in the slightest.
Who knows what kind of weird tricks this guy might have up his sleeve? What if he tries something underhanded...?
It's not that I'll hurt him, but I'm mainly afraid that if I'm careless and make a mistake, the other party will get away.
"No!!!" Ye You suddenly screamed. Clinging tightly to the inside of the cauldron, he had nowhere to retreat.
The approaching flames had already given him a sense of impending death.
"I can do a lot of things! Infiltration, assassination, information gathering..." Ye You rattled off a list of skills, like an insurance agent pushing a product.
"What's the use?!" Han Yi's eyes grew increasingly dangerous.
What he needs is demonic energy, demonic essence!
Without magic energy, it is of no value to him.
The things Ye You mentioned... does he think there's no one in his Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who could do them?
Does he need a demon to help him?
ridiculous!
Ye You grew increasingly uneasy; just looking into Han Yi's eyes sent a shiver down his spine. "Information... I know a lot more... It's a special ability stemming from my race, allowing me to easily uncover secrets that are impossible for ordinary people to discover..."
"Oh?"
Han Yi stopped moving his hand, intrigued.
The hope of life seemed to be right in front of them, and the night stroll also became more invigorating.
"Entry and exit from various secret realms...the location of the Demon King's seal...and places where large amounts of demonic energy exist..."
He finally realized that what people were most interested in was demonic energy and demonic essence.
Although I don't understand why the other side is still not satisfied.
Having already absorbed the power of an ancient demon, absorbing too much alien demonic energy in a short period of time could very well cause him to explode and die.
Night Wanderer, driven by a strong will to survive, has pulled out all the stops to cater to their tastes.
He didn't hesitate at all, even if it meant becoming a traitor.
"Really?" Han Yi looked at the other person suspiciously.
"Really! Really!! Absolutely true!!!" Night Wanderer nodded quickly and somewhat comically, which immediately caused the demon soul to tremble wildly like ripples.
“But…” Han Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, “How can I… how can I trust you?”
boom! ! !
The black fire blazed fiercely, and the intense flames instantly filled the cauldron, covering everything except the small area where the white figure was located.
"I will serve you as my master!!!" The wandering ghost cried out in terror, "Master, master!!!"
With a hiss.
He spat out a transparent, somewhat crystalline substance. Instantly, a tearing, weakening sensation appeared throughout his demonic soul.
Suppressing extreme pain, Ye You pleaded, "The magic crystal... this is my magic crystal core. We can use it to sign a demon soul contract... I will serve you as my master... My life and death are in your hands..."
"No need. I don't believe it." Han Yi said calmly, then suddenly waved his hand down.
As I've already said, he doesn't understand the demon race, nor does he know their methods.
If there are some strange or unusual methods involved... then falling for them would be disastrous.
"No!!!!!!!"
Night Wanderer let out a piercing scream, unable to move.
He could only watch helplessly as the giant hand, engulfed in black flames, completely enveloped him.
"Huh... I'm not dead?!" A moment later, Ye You opened his eyes again and realized that he seemed to be alive.
"How do you feel?"
Han Yi placed his palm on Ye You's forehead and asked calmly.
"I feel... nothing..." Ye You paused, then answered instinctively.
"Answer truthfully, don't hide anything." Han Yi smiled and activated a wisp of his bloodline spirit seed, letting it seep into Ye You's body.
"It's alright..." Ye You asked with a puzzled look, "It's cool and refreshing, quite comfortable..."
"Comfortable?"
Han Yi frowned and stopped inputting the spirit seed.
Upon closer inspection, the Night Wanderer's originally somewhat ethereal soul form was now clearly much more solid, and even appeared to be slightly larger than before.
After a moment's thought, he understood the reason. Bloodline spirit seeds do indeed have the ability to erode the mind.
But it also depends on who the target of the erosion is.
The Demon King's Night Wanderer, though the title of Demon King is somewhat undeserved, is extremely weak.
And so many years have passed since the seal was placed...
Ye You had practically no demonic energy left in his body... so little that it wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Han Yi didn't even look at him.
even so.
Demonic energy is, after all, a power several levels higher than that of bloodline spirit seeds. This fundamental difference allows it to completely ignore the abilities of spirit seeds and instead assimilate and absorb them.
"So... the first thing to do is to find a power on the same level as the demonic energy to sever the body's defenses..." Han Yi pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea.
