Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 927: Chapter 796: Demon Ancestor Demon Essence

Thump thump thump—

It was a frequency similar to a human heartbeat, as if the Cauldron Seal in Ye Lingyue’s hand was no longer just a cauldron, but a heart growing in the palm of her hand, brimming with life.

The black Cauldron Seal pulsed all night long, while Ye Lingyue slept soundly throughout the night.

That night, Ye Lingyue slept in a daze, as if she were dreaming.

In her dream, there were a pair of eyes gazing at her, so gentle that they made her feel entranced, unable to extricate herself.

In the same night, somewhere in the Demon World.

Two waves of demonic power clashed, one with the power of swallowing mountains and rivers, crushed the other.

When the demonic power dispersed, a demon with a bull body and lion face fell to the ground.

Olive-green demon blood pooled into a small blood pond.

After the demon beast was slain, its demon soul turned into a wisp of smoke trying to flee.

But just then, a gust of claw wind struck, swift as a flash.

It was a giant pale claw, its joints distinct, with nails as sharp as blades. It grabbed the demon soul in mid-air.

”Mercy, great Demon God.”

The demon soul struggled, but the white giant claw clenched, exploding the demon soul into nothingness.

As the demon soul burst, a drop of dark golden essence blood fell.

”It’s not it.”

After the demon soul vanished, the white giant claw transformed into a human figure mid-air; it was Yan Jiu, who had been missing for a long time.

Yan Jiu reached out, carefully collecting that drop of golden blood.

That day, after Feng Xun and Wu Zhong died, Yan Jiu painfully left Lan Cai’er behind and left the Qing Province Continent, returning to the Demon World.

Because just before Wu Zhong’s soul was scattered and imprisoned in the Four-directions Sealing Demon Array, he transmitted a trace of Divine Sense to Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu thus saw the moment Wu Zhong’s body was consumed by Ten Thousand Demons, and his Divine Soul was sealed.

Everyone, including those from the Three Sects, believed that as long as the body was destroyed and the soul suppressed, the Demon Ancestor would have no chance of resurrection.

Only the true members of the Demon Clan, and very few high-level Sky Demon or higher, knew that demons were different from humans, or even gods. True supreme beings of the Demon Clan had not just three souls and six spirits, but also Demon Essence.

Because with Demon Essence, even if the soul scattered, it could be reborn.

As long as the Demon Essence remained, a way could be found to remold the Demon Ancestor’s body.

But the condition was that the Demon Essence must be found.

Wu Zhong and Feng Xun’s bodies were destroyed, their Demon Essence forcibly suppressed by the Silent Annihilation Tower and the Four-directions Sealing Demon Array, and forcibly sent back to the Demon World.

The Ten Thousand Demons called back and suppressed by the Demon Awakening Gate took the opportunity to devour the Demon Ancestor’s soul, body, and even Demon Essence.

However, due to the many demon beasts at that time, Yan Jiu couldn’t determine which demon beast had devoured the Demon Clan’s Demon Essence.

Moreover, some demon beasts, having acquired the Demon Ancestor’s essence blood and soul, significantly increased in cultivation, and some directly broke through to Great Demons or even Sky Demons by virtue of talent. These demons, knowing they possessed something others viewed as Tang Seng’s Meat, had wisely hidden themselves long ago.

This greatly increased the difficulty of Yan Jiu’s search.

In these past ten-plus days since returning to the Demon World, he searched all the way, slaughtering hundreds of demon beasts.

But those encountered, only absorbed a small amount of the Demon Ancestor’s blood, or a sliver of residual soul, not a single one actually absorbed the Demon Ancestor’s soul power.

Yan Jiu collected only a small portion of the Demon Ancestor’s flesh and blood.

”If this continues, who knows when I’ll find the Demon Essence.” Yan Jiu frowned, preparing to set off again to search for new demons.

But just then, from the gloomy sky, a blood cloud suddenly surged.

The blood cloud moved swiftly, and on it, a Ghost Demon Ship came sailing.

The demon ship was massive, and a closer look revealed it was crafted from bones.

On the demon ship stood a mighty Great Demon.

At the bow of the demon ship, a Soul Summoning Flag fluttered, with ”Netherworld City” written on it.

Seeing that demon ship, Yan Jiu’s expression changed slightly.

The people on the Ghost Demon Ship also noticed Yan Jiu.

The burly man shouted for the ship to stop, leaping down in front of Yan Jiu.

”Lord Jiuwei, I am Wild Ambition, the Great Commander of the South Nether Ghost Army. Emperor You has learned of your return to the Southern Demon Realm and specially sends this invitation to visit South Nether City for a gathering, to reminisce old times.”

The burly man looked fierce and ferocious but was very respectful toward Yan Jiu.

Because this figure before him, centuries ago, was a legend in the Demon World, ranked ninth among the Ten Great Demon God Guards of the Demon World.

Yan Jiu glanced at Wild Ambition without speaking.

Those on the demon ship, seeing Yan Jiu’s arrogant demeanor, were disgruntled, grumbling.

Wild Ambition grew a bit impatient, repeating himself.

This time, Yan Jiu finally spoke.

”Go back and tell the Zhan Hen couple that there’s no old friendship to revisit with them.”

The veins in the temple of Commander Wild Ambition throbbed.

How bold of Yan Jiu; not only did he refuse the invitation, but he dared to directly call the South Nether Emperor by name.

Knowing that the couple of the South Nether Emperor and Empress are now influential figures holding up half of the Demon World.

The Ten Great Demon God Guards were indeed powerful, but that was centuries, even a millennium ago.

After the demise of the Demon Ancestor, the Demon God Guards have long dispersed, no longer bearing their former renown.

”Lord Jiuwei, are you sure? The Demon World today is not the Demon World of the past. Neither are you the Lord Jiuwei of those days. May I suggest you learn to adapt and recognize the current situation.” Wild Ambition advised again, with a cold snort, trying to maintain patience.

”Ha~ you’ve reminded me of the saying, ’see a man in a new light after three days.’ But don’t forget, the Demon World has always revered strength. Even if I’m no longer the same, I once stood as an equal with your South Nether Emperor and Empress, all among the Ten Great Sky Demons.”

After speaking, Yan Jiu’s aura dramatically changed.

Clad still in the garb of a scholar, holding a feather fan and wearing a gauze scarf, the usual hidden malice on his face when disguised as a human was now gone.

As he finished speaking, Yan Jiu’s handsome face was suddenly covered with dense white Demon Marks.

In the sky, a massive white skeletal hand abruptly appeared, reaching for the Ghost Ship.

The Ghost Ship was instantly crushed into fragments, the demon soldiers and guards on board turning into nothingness before they could escape.

The whole of Commander Wild Ambition shuddered, eyes filled with murderous intent.

But soon, his aura was surpassed by an even more terrifying ferocious energy.

This ferocity came from Yan Jiu.

Commander Wild Ambition’s body sank swiftly, his towering frame abruptly shrinking, being directly pressed down into the ground by the demon aura Yan Jiu emanated.
