At that mont, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said, "Either beco my slave or die. The choice is yours—I am giving you the right to choose!"
"Are you trying to trick ?" Ye Fan asked awkwardly.
He simply couldn’t believe that the Seven-Colored Demon Empress would bring herself to kill a man as handso as him. Impossible! Thus, his confidence naturally surged.
But the Seven-Colored Demon Empress simply replied, "Just try walking out of Demon Mountain."
Seeing the Seven-Colored Demon Empress’s assertive and murderous gaze, Ye Fan suddenly dropped his airs and laughed. "Hahaha, we’re all one big family here, why be so heartless? Besides, Demon Mountain has a wonderful environnt. It’s just the kind of place I like. I really can’t bear to leave. I wouldn’t go even if you tried to drive away!"
It must be said that the highest state a man can reach is that of forbearance. Clearly, Ye Fan had reached this ultimate state, for he was well past the impulsive, hot-blooded age of his youth.
"Get out!"
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress genuinely didn’t want to see that shaless look on Ye Fan’s face anymore.
Ye Fan sheepishly walked out.
Sooner or later, I’ll pin this woman down and show her what I’m really made of. But now is not the ti.
Ye Fan stepped outside, where the Nine Evil Demon General and the Xiao Tian Demon General crowded around him.
"You’re not dead? It’s a damn miracle!" the two of them exclaid, sizing Ye Fan up.
Their words angered Ye Fan. What the hell is wrong with them? Don’t they know how to talk? He said dejectedly, "Did you two co here just to laugh at my misfortune?"
"No, no, no, that’s not what we ant," one of them said. "We were just thinking that from now on, there’s one more person to help us share the big boss’s wrath!"
"That’s right, that’s right! Brother, hang in there!" the other added, and both of them gave Ye Fan a sympathetic look.
Ye Fan said, "Got any wine? I need a drink right now!"
"Let’s go, we’ll take you!"
The two Demon Clan experts threw their arms around Ye Fan’s shoulders and led him away from the grand hall.
「That night.」
In the Holy Land of Demon Mountain, the moon shone brightly amidst a scattering of stars. A stunningly beautiful woman stood before a statue. This was the Undying Demon Phoenix, the very first leader of the Demon Clan.
At this mont, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress knelt.
"Master, your disciple has co to see you," she said.
It had to be acknowledged that the Undying Demon Phoenix was an imnsely powerful mber of the Demon Clan. To have trained an expert like the Seven-Colored Demon Empress was no simple feat.
Just then, the statue began to glow and then spoke. Its voice was that of an elderly and frail woman, sounding as if she could draw her last breath at any mont.
"Disciple," she said weakly, "I have left but a sliver of my life force within this statue. I am barely clinging on. The duty of revitalizing our Demon Clan now falls to you."
"I understand, Master!" the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said respectfully.
She thought back to the past, when the Demon Clan had seven supre experts. Now, she was the only one left. Of the others, so were dead, and the rest were in seclusion. Those reclusive experts would only erge if the Demon Clan faced a great disaster.
The statue said to her, "You have a knot in your heart. Your mind is in turmoil!"
"No, Master, I certainly do not!" the Seven-Colored Demon Empress hurriedly replied.
The statue sighed. "Love between a man and a woman is a common affair, so I won’t stop you. But you must not end up like your senior brother. His death was so tragic that no one even knows where his body lies!"
"Master!" The Seven-Colored Demon Empress blushed. She hadn’t expected her master to discuss such things.
Moreover, the one disturbing her heart was that shaless man. The very thought of him made her determined not to let him off easily. That man had defiled her.
At this mont, the statue spoke again. "I know what is on your mind. In fact, everyone in your lineage must face a trial of love. It seems you have already found the one who has triggered yours."
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress wanted to object but held her tongue, uncertain if her master was trying to trick her.
Then, the statue said, "I will now tell you how to overco this trial of love: either kill him or beco his Daoist couple! Only then can you break through this trial and ascend to the Ancestor Realm! Only a Demon Ancestor can revitalize our clan. I hope you will not disappoint or the Demon Clan!"
Thinking of this, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress felt a wave of pressure. Just as she was about to speak, the Undying Demon Phoenix suddenly cried out in shock, staring at her in astonishnt.
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress asked in confusion, "Master, what’s wrong?"
"Strange... I can feel the Ancestor Realm Bloodline and your senior brother’s blood in you. Of course, your senior brother’s blood is rely a catalyst. The Ancestor Realm Bloodline is the true key! No, this isn’t the Ancestor Realm Bloodline. This might be the legendary Saint Realm blood! The Ancestor Realm Bloodline doesn’t possess such terrifying power!"
Hearing this from the Undying Demon Phoenix, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress’s first thought was of Ye Fan. He was the one who had used his own blood to heal her injuries. Besides him, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
The Undying Demon Phoenix said to her, "The world is vast, its planes are wide, and it is full of countless wonders. The Ancestor Realm Bloodline is rely the blood of an Ancestor Realm Martial Artist. Although there are no Ancestor Realm cultivators in this world yet, on the path of cultivation, the Ancestor Realm is rely the beginning!"
Instantly, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress was stunned.
The Undying Demon Phoenix continued, "Above the Ancestor Realm is the Saint Emperor—a realm of despairing difficulty. After all, very few Martial Artists ever achieve the Ancestor Realm. As the saying goes, a single general’s success is built upon the bones of ten thousand. I have seen the Ancestor Realm Bloodline before! Child, stay still. Let test this blood in you and see if it truly is of the Ancestor Realm!"
"Mhm!" The Seven-Colored Demon Empress imdiately stood still.
The phantom of the Undying Demon Phoenix moved forward, attempting to test the blood with her power, but she was instantly thrown back. In that brief mont, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress had the unsettling illusion that her master was trying to strip her of her blood. However, she still believed that her consistently gentle and kind master would never sche against her.
At this, the Undying Demon Phoenix sighed. "This is indeed not the Ancestor Realm Bloodline. This is a blood far more terrifying. Its owner bestowed it upon you! It will never leave you, for it has already fused with you!"
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress was truly shocked.
However, the Undying Demon Phoenix then said, "Child, I am sorry."
"Why, Master?" the Seven-Colored Demon Empress asked, confused.
The Undying Demon Phoenix explained, "Child, just now, a greedy thought arose in my heart. I wanted to extract the blood from you. I never expected that I, too, would have a mont where I could not resist such avarice!"
The Undying Demon Phoenix was grief-stricken, for she had nearly committed an unconscionable act.
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress said, "If Master desires it, you need only take it. It doesn’t truly belong to anyway."
"There is no need. This is your fated opportunity. How could I steal your fortune?" the Undying Demon Phoenix imdiately refused. After pondering for a mont, she asked, "Child, who exactly bestowed this fortune upon you?"
