King of Creation Chapter 2053 - 2038: Xuan Hu’s Resolve (First Update)
Previously on King of Creation...
As the inheritance concluded, the entire White Bone Secret Realm collapsed with a roar, transforming into countless white dust.
A flood of blood-red surged in from all directions, immediately turning the White Bone Secret Realm into an exact replica of the Demon Soul Realm.
The original Blood Pond had already dried up by now, and all the battle intent and Blood Qi within had been completely devoured by the War Soul Blood Flag.
However, in the next moment, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Neither his Divine Sense nor the resonance with the War Soul Blood Flag detected any so-called inheritance treasure.
In many inheritances, besides the inheritance itself, there are often several inheritance treasures.
Few might contain one or two items, others could have four or five, even more.
The stronger the inheritor’s cultivation, the richer their possessions, the more abundant their inheritances.
For example, when Ye Zhen obtained the Earth Core Fire Commander’s inheritance back then, he gained the Red Moon Soul Ring, which is an inheritance treasure.
But now, the inheritance of an Ancient Demon God had no inheritance treasure, leaving Ye Zhen both incredulous and somewhat disappointed.
With a thought, Ye Zhen once again submerged his Divine Sense into the War Soul Blood Flag, and instantly, everything within the original White Bone Secret Realm, whether above or below ground, appeared vividly in his mind.
Unfortunately, not even a shadow of an inheritance treasure was seen.
Yet in perspective, the War Soul Blood Flag should qualify as one.
Being a High Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, especially an auxiliary type, it’s worth as much as dozens of inheritance treasures.
Since there were no inheritance treasures, Ye Zhen, using his Divine Sense, meticulously examined the Ancient Demon God inheritance obtained by the Mystical Mechanism Avatar to determine which path of Demon God of the Demon Clan it belonged to.
After a careful inspection, Ye Zhen suddenly felt relieved.
This Ancient Demon God named Yany Tu, it turns out, is also a Soul Demon.
Moreover, a genuine Soul Demon Sovereign, far mightier than Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Avatar that relied on certain techniques from the War Soul Blood Flag to masquerade.
Yany Tu is a true Soul Demon Sovereign, but his inheritance is extremely diverse.
Not so much diverse, but his various Soul Demon Sovereign Divine Skills serve as the center, expanding outward massively.
Apart from Soul Demon lineage secret arts, Yany Tu also deeply studied Bone Demon secret techniques.
However, Yany Tu’s studied Bone Demon secret techniques, as a Soul Demon Sovereign, differ from those of Bone Demon Lord Bai Fan.
The Bone Demon secret techniques mastered by Yany Tu primarily served his Soul Demon Divine Skills or were oriented towards the Soul Demon line; this was his focus of arduous cultivation.
However, given Yany Tu’s mastery level, whatever Bone Demon Divine Skills Bai Fan knew, Ancient Demon God Yany Tu also knew, and Yany Tu knew parts of what Bai Fan didn’t.
After all, Yany Tu’s level was there, an Ancient Demon God, known as Creation God, and rather ancient.
Even if Bone Demon Lord Bai Fan cultivated rigorously for tens of thousands of years, he might not reach Yany Tu’s level.
Just like the Ten Thousand Bone Divine Skill employed by Bone Demon Lord Bai Fan, it also existed in the inheritance obtained by the Mystical Mechanism Avatar.
This explains why this inheritance Secret Realm contained such an immense quantity of bones.
The bones here were the remnants of various elite clans, indirect victims or methodically collected skeletons during Yany Tu’s era.
In addition, almost everything forming the War Soul Blood Flag, like battle intent, killing intent, Evil Qi, Blood Qi, and Death Qi—numerous negative energy Divine Skills—all were explored by this Ancient Demon God Yany Tu.
The extensions connected with these powers were countless.
The amount of Divine Skills accumulated by an Ancient Demon God over tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, is utterly terrifying.
Even with Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Power, it would require immense time to review everything.
As for comprehending and cultivating all, even with Yany Tu’s inherited memories, the time needed is vast.
Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar requires substantial time to fully acquire the Ancient Demon God Yany Tu’s inheritance.
However, regarding the abundant number of Divine Power secret techniques within Yany Tu’s inheritance, Ye Zhen and the Mystical Mechanism Avatar don’t need to cultivate them all.
The Mystical Mechanism Avatar only needs to select some main secret techniques for cultivation.
Like more Soul Demon Sovereign secret techniques and Bone Demon Divine Skills that can enhance the power of the Soul Demon.
As for the others, except for a few distinctly valuable ones, they can be set aside for cultivation as needed later.
To Ye Zhen, some of the rare Divine Power secret techniques in the inheritance are also quite valuable.
This relief stems from recognizing that this Ancient Demon God Yany Tu, being a Soul Demon Sovereign, the High Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure-level War Soul Blood Flag which Ye Zhen now holds is the most powerful inheritance treasure.
It can exponentially amplify the power of Soul Demon secret arts, whether configured for individuals or scope-wide effects.
In essence, this single War Soul Blood Flag stands in for several hundred or even a thousand inheritance treasures.
In the inheritance memories of Yany Tu, the War Soul Blood Flag is a postnatal supreme treasure with power approaching a Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, when Ye Zhen’s mentor Lud Li killed it, a large amount of the War Soul Blood Flag’s origin power was consumed.
Later, the remnant soul, in order to leave behind an inheritance, painfully divided the War Soul Blood Flag’s origin power and refined it into numerous Inherited Blood Banners, dispersing them in all directions, so that its inheritance could see the light of day again.
Fortunately, the origin power of this Blood Flag can also grow on its own.
By coincidence, the War Soul Blood Flag obtained by Ye Zhen has grown to this day and, after devouring the origin power of other Inherited Blood Banners, its grade has leapfrogged to Acquired Spirit Treasure, and now to High Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.
Sadly, there are still quite a few Inherited Blood Banners containing the War Soul Blood Flag’s origin power, whose whereabouts are unknown.
Perhaps they are damaged, or have dissipated with the passage of time, or are hidden in rarely visited mountains and lakes. Now that the inheritance is over, Ye Zhen wishes to retrieve the other Inherited Blood Banners to restore the War Soul Blood Flag’s origin power.
The possibility of that is very small.
The grade of the War Soul Blood Flag can only stop at High Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure. As for restoring to become a postnatal supreme treasure that can rival a Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, that depends on chance.
In fact, Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar, though it borrowed the Dao Realm body of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, still derived its power origin from the Demon Soul Avatar obtained from the Demon Soul Realm.
Now, having also acquired the Ancient Demon God inheritance of the Soul Demon lineage, instead of calling it a coincidence, it’s more of a result of effort.
Back when Ye Zhen unintentionally got caught up in the Demon Soul Realm, he achieved the Demon Soul Avatar and has since been pondering things about the Demon Soul Realm.
He has his several Corps Leaders continuously explore the situations within the Demon Soul Realm, searching for possible places of inheritance.
At last, there is a result.
And this time being able to seize the Ancient Demon God inheritance, first, Ye Zhen himself took the initiative, and second, he was already the de facto controller of the Demon Soul Realm, gaining geographical advantage, not to mention the advantage of being on home ground.
"I say, Brother Ye, congratulations on obtaining this Ancient Demon God’s inheritance, shouldn’t you treat us to some wine?" said Zhu Hong, comfortably patting his belly in a carefree manner.
"Brother Pig, forget the thanks, treating for wine is certain! When we return to the Primordial Continent, at least a hundred-year-old courtly Jade Liquid, as much as you want!"
"Good, a hundred-year courtly Jade Liquid, Old Zhu will remember this! As much as you want, remember that, my belly hahahaha...."
"However, it’s better for you not to reveal this avatar easily on the Primordial Continent, the Demon Clan avatar, and having acquired the Ancient Demon God’s inheritance, even though your true self is from the Human Clan, those bastards from the Heavenly Temple won’t see it that way!" said Xuan Hu coming forward.
"Hmm, I understand!"
Ye Zhen nodded heavily, knowing that Xuan Hu had his interests at heart.
Even without Xuan Hu reminding him, Ye Zhen would be very cautious.
"The baldies from the Heavenly Temple, what is there to fear! If they really come, worst comes to worst, we’ll fight it out!" Zhu Hong exclaimed with a carefree manner.
"A life-and-death struggle, who’s afraid!" Xuan Hu glared at Zhu Hong unfriendly, then turned to Ye Zhen and said, "Brother, send us in please."
Ye Zhen was momentarily unresponsive, puzzled, "Brother Hu, where to?"
"Your Temporal Sequence Space."
Xuan Hu’s expression was somewhat solemn, "During this period, we’ve improved our strength rapidly, from the Dark Palace Realm to the Late Stage of Realm King Realm, which made us somewhat arrogant.
However, today’s battle made us realize that our strength is far from enough. Facing those in the Dao Realm, even when we joined forces, we couldn’t prevail.
If not for Old Zhu’s Innate Divine Ability, I don’t know how many times I would have died.
Now that there is time, and with your Temporal Sequence Space, we should focus on cultivation, improving our Cultivation.
The sooner we elevate our Cultivation to the Peak of the Ninth Stage Realm King Realm, the better, and then consider breaking through to the Dao Realm."
Xuan Hu thought deeply, while Zhu Hong was more straightforward, "Hey, this old tiger is just afraid of dragging you down."
"Dragging me down?"
Ye Zhen was astonished, "How is that possible, in today’s battle, if it weren’t for a few elder brothers...."
Xuan Hu raised a hand, stopping Ye Zhen, "No need to say more. It’s not just for you, the incidents in the Taimeng Demon Realm have already taught us a deep enough lesson!
Besides, I don’t want to encounter such things again in the future, and I especially don’t want to watch helplessly or be forced to submit, when my little niece Chi Ling’er is in danger.
Even more, I don’t want to again have my brothers almost lose their lives because of me...."
Halfway through speaking, Xuan Hu’s voice choked up, a few sobs in his words.
Even though Xuan Hu is known for his tough demeanor, feeling his voice choked, he abruptly cut off the conversation.
Beside him, the always carefree Zhu Hong, his expression also turned grave and serious.
Ye Zhen also knew that Xuan Hu was reminded of all the matters related to the Taimeng Demon Realm, a man full of emotion and righteousness, yet not wanting to shed tears in front of others.
So Ye Zhen didn’t say much more, "Then let’s cultivate diligently, if you lack Cultivation resources, just speak up directly."
"Don’t worry, Cultivation resources aren’t really lacking, and this time we’ve obtained quite a few Dao Realm bodies from the Demon Clan, and with these, in Old Zhu’s hands, they can all become delicious meals, very nourishing delicacies!" said Zhu Hong, even beginning to drool.
In the next moment, with a wave of Ye Zhen’s hand, Zhu Hong and Xuan Hu’s figures vanished into thin air, directly sent by Ye Zhen into the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space.
