Chapter 2108: Rain Demon, Heavenly Demon Mountain
“Old Huo, set your mind at ease. Your Majesty will ensure your wounds are fully mended,” the Blood Demon Old Monster remarked to the elderly man with a grin.
The old man gave a slow shake of his head. “While the Primordial Life Holy Fruit is a rare treasure, it can only preserve a portion of my life force, granting me but a few more years of existence.”
Despite the immense Life Force contained within the Primordial Life Holy Fruit held by Yang Xiaotian, it was fundamentally incapable of repairing his shattered Holy Vein, Dantian, or Divine Soul.
Yang Xiaotian instructed the elder to consume the fruit first. He then pressed his palm against the man’s back, channeling the profound energy of the Ultimate Life Holy Body.
“The Ultimate Life Holy Body!” the old man gasped, his shock evident.
He was utterly stunned by the sensation.
Could this level of Life Power truly be?
It was the Thirty-Fourth Layer of the Ultimate Life Holy Body!
Only reaching such a height could produce such staggering vitality.
As the energy of the Ultimate Life Holy Body surged into him, the old man felt his ruined Holy Vein and Dantian begin to knit back together significantly. Even his Divine Soul experienced a wave of incredible relief.
The deathly pallor of his face was replaced by a healthy, vibrant glow.
His breathing gradually steadied and returned to normal.
Yang Xiaotian eventually withdrew his hand.
Since they were standing in the middle of a street, it was not the right environment for an extended healing session. However, in that brief moment, he had successfully anchored the man’s life force and initiated the recovery of his internal injuries.
At the very least, the elder was now capable of walking and flying without assistance.
“Fire Demon offers his deepest thanks to the Holy Master.” Feeling his strength returning and his condition stabilizing, the old man knelt before Yang Xiaotian in profound gratitude.
This elder was none other than the Fire Demon Elder.
In the past, both the Fire Demon Elder and the Blood Demon Old Monster served as the primary lieutenants to the Myriad Demon Saint.
During his time on the Three Pure Continents, Yang Xiaotian had previously discovered Divine Medicine, various Cultivation manuals, and a wealth of Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones left behind by the Fire Demon Elder in his hidden Cave Mansion.
Yang Xiaotian reached out to help him stand.
The Blood Demon Old Monster smiled at his old comrade. “Old Huo, from this moment forward, you should join us in addressing the Holy Master as Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty?” Though confused by the title, the Fire Demon Elder nodded and immediately adjusted his speech to address Yang Xiaotian as Your Majesty.
“Let us find a place to settle,” Yang Xiaotian commanded. He led the group away from the bustling street toward the city’s premier tavern, where he secured a private courtyard for a few days of rest.
These establishments were typically founded by the major powers of the Primordial Demon World, offering a degree of protection and safety.
Once he had changed into fresh robes, the Fire Demon Elder sought out Yang Xiaotian in the main hall of the courtyard.
Yang Xiaotian began to question him regarding his experiences over the years and the nature of his feud with the Rain Demon’s followers.
Faced with Yang Xiaotian’s questions, the Fire Demon Elder held nothing back and recounted his story with total honesty.
It appeared that the Fire Demon Elder had remained within the Primordial Demon World all this time. He had ventured into the Demon Territory searching for clues regarding their former master, the Myriad Demon Saint, after hearing rumors of his presence there.
His arrival in the Demon Territory eventually led to a violent dispute with the Rain Demon’s subordinates over Primordial Demon Energy.
Periodically, the Heavenly Demon Mountain in this region erupts with Primordial Demon Energy, a phenomenon that draws powerful experts from all over to compete for the resource.
On one occasion, the Fire Demon Elder was fortunate enough to secure a large quantity of the energy, which incited the greed of the Rain Demon’s faction and sparked the conflict.
Despite his considerable strength, the Fire Demon Elder was overwhelmed by a coordinated attack from several of the Rain Demon’s men. The battle left his Holy Vein snapped, his Dantian crushed, and his Divine Soul in a state of collapse.
Rather than finishing him off, the Rain Demon’s followers cast him into the streets to rot.
With his Cultivation foundations destroyed, the Fire Demon Elder’s life had been a miserable struggle ever since, a fate he considered worse than death.
He had resigned himself to a lonely end until his unexpected reunion with the Blood Demon Old Monster and the others, an event that filled him with renewed hope.
Yang Xiaotian then moved to ask about the military might of the Rain Demon and the caliber of his followers.
“The Rain Demon possesses terrifying power!” The Fire Demon Elder’s expression turned grim, and a flicker of dread appeared in his eyes. “Within the Demon Territory, his influence is so vast he practically rules the heavens with a single hand.”
“He commands a hundred Demon Generals, every one of whom has reached the Unity Realm Stage—and they are exceptionally powerful even by those standards.”
“Even the Star Storm Demon has entered his service.”
Yang Xiaotian raised an eyebrow in surprise. “The Star Storm Demon!”
The Star Storm Demon was a well-known powerhouse on the Holy Realm List.
This list, often referred to as the Eternal Realm List, consists of rankings held within the Holy Realm, hence its dual name. Though the myriad realms house countless experts, only ten thousand individuals are recognized as dominators on the Eternal Realm List.
For the Star Storm Demon to hold a place on that list meant his power was beyond question.
“Yes, the Star Storm Demon, a true dominator of the Eternal Realm List!” the Fire Demon Elder confirmed solemnly. “Beyond him, many other masters of the Demon Sect have sworn fealty to the Rain Demon in recent years.”
The Fire Demon Elder proceeded to name several notorious figures, all of whom were infamous Old Mos within the Primordial Demon World.
“It is shocking that so many Old Mos, including a figure like the Star Storm Demon, have submitted to him. It is no wonder his word is law in the Demon Territory.” Both the Dragon Corpse Beast and the Blood Demon Old Monster were visibly unsettled by this news.
The Abyss of Darkness, however, remained perfectly composed.
Though he too was a dominator on the Eternal Realm List, his standing was significantly higher than that of the Star Storm Demon.
After a moment of hesitation, the Fire Demon Elder spoke up. “Your Majesty, the Rain Demon is a formidable foe. Perhaps it would be wise to depart the Demon Territory for the time being.”
He was deeply concerned for Yang Xiaotian’s wellbeing.
He knew that if the Rain Demon’s subordinates discovered he had been healed, they would undoubtedly return to finish the job, likely targeting Yang Xiaotian as well.
Recognizing the elder’s concern, Yang Xiaotian offered a reassuring smile. “There is no need for alarm.” He then added, “Tell me about the other major factions operating within the Demon Territory.”
The Fire Demon Elder quickly shared everything he knew.
Following this, Yang Xiaotian asked when the Heavenly Demon Mountain was expected to erupt again. Upon learning it was only a few months away, the group settled in to wait.
During this interval, Yang Xiaotian balanced his own Cultivation with regular treatments to heal the Fire Demon Elder’s internal damage.
The months passed quickly.
On the eve of the Primordial Demon Energy eruption, Yang Xiaotian and his companions checked out of the tavern and began their trek toward the Heavenly Demon Mountain.
Watching Yang Xiaotian approach the mountain, the Fire Demon Elder felt a knot of anxiety. He knew the Rain Demon’s forces would be there in full strength when the energy surfaced.
A violent confrontation seemed unavoidable.
“Old Huo, do not fret. Unless the Rain Demon himself intervenes, His Majesty will be perfectly safe,” the Blood Demon Old Monster said, noticing the elder’s worry. “After all, we have the Abyss elder among us.”
“Abyss elder?” The Fire Demon Elder blinked, confused.
“Allow me to introduce the esteemed Abyss of Darkness,” the Blood Demon Old Monster said, gesturing toward the shadowed figure.
“What? The legendary Abyss of Darkness!” The Fire Demon Elder stared at the dark presence beside Yang Xiaotian in total disbelief.
The Abyss of Darkness, standing close to Yang Xiaotian, gave a slight nod toward the elder.
The Fire Demon Elder’s mind raced; this was a high-ranking dominator from the Holy Realm’s elite list!
It was now clear why His Majesty and the others were so unbothered by the upcoming journey.
The Abyss of Darkness was most famous for his legendary duel with the Present Buddha, a clash that remained a topic of awe even many years after it took place.
