Chapter 1755: Connate Demon Fetus

The interment of heaven and earth and the layout of the bronze palace swiftly took shape; they were firmly rooted in the easternmost point of the Abyssal Hell. Lu Yun brought out a tiny floating peak and placed it on the eastern side of the bronze palace.

“Master, I don’t know what your final wishes are, but since you resent me in death, I will resurrect you.” Lu Yun took a deep breath and looked at the doll carved from Soul Extendere Wood. It wasn’t time to place the Netherdark Talisman on it yet. His master’s name, birth date, and eight characters of his horoscope were etched onto the wood’s surface.

Lu Qingtian was his master’s name. Qingtian were the characters for blue sky, and bai yun were the characters for white clouds. White clouds should be present in a blue sky, hence Lu Yun was named what he was. According to his master, if Lu Yun had been born a girl, his name would be Lu Baiyun.

He’d asked Lu Qingtian more than once where he came from and who his parents were, but his master’s answer was always the same—he’d found Lu Yun by the side of the road.

After Lu Yun grew up and commanded the winds and clouds in the world of darkness, he’d personally investigated his background. He came up empty-handed and still didn’t know who his parents were. When he’d reached great perfection in formula dao, he’d calculated his past.

His parents had been an ordinary couple on Earth and abandoned Lu Yun by the side of the road because they’d been too poor to raise all of their children. Several thousand years had passed since their time and his birth parents had long returned to dust. They left behind no traces of their existence or any karmic relationships. His relationship with Earth was severed the moment the Tome of Life and Death brought him to the world of immortals—apart from his tie to his master, Lu Qingtian.

Lu Qingtian was an initiate in tomb raiding and an heir of Fuxi’s.

Lost in memory, Lu Yun gazed upon the fake person resting in the coffin. When he came back to his senses, he found that many minds were sweeping through the area. He didn’t erupt with outrage as he noted the consciousnesses of numerous eighteenth level sequence experts.

“You need to think carefully about this!” Chu Xingran suddenly said. “Although you can destroy the demon of malice if you revive your master, it will also give rise to a slew of karmic consequences. Your master is just an ordinary mortal.”

Ordinary mortals were most closely associated with karmic ties. While immortals could and would casually kill cultivators, they didn’t dare touch mortals. Even immortals practicing demonic dao exercised caution when they collected mortal souls for cultivation. They elected to rule over mortal nations and incite war, harvesting only the souls of those who died in battle.

The retribution from killing a mortal to use in cultivation was infinite times greater than simple cultivation through slaughter. Whether it was killing a mortal or having anything to do with them, a string of karmic repercussions was sure to follow.

“There’s got to be other ways to eliminate the demon. Xie Tianxun might not be right,” Chu Xingran tried persuading.

“Actually, I miss the old man. He raised me, after all. I wanted to resurrect him long ago, I just didn’t have a reason or excuse to. But now…” Lu Yun lifted his head at the murky skies above him. “Logic dictates that I should do so.”

Hummm.

Black ripples oscillated through the air without forewarning as a massive demonic shadow rose from his body. The demon of malice had always been by Lu Yun’s side, following him like a shadow and never departing to hide elsewhere. A laughing and crying face like an akasha ghost’s—similar to Moran Dongning’s mask—slowly formed over Lu Yun’s head. The young man could see traces of his master in the ghostly face

He paused when he saw the face; this was certainly not what the demon was supposed to look like! Moran Dongning must have done something to seal it away once before. But now that there was a doll made of the Soul Extendere Wood, the demon was drawn out of hiding.

……

“A connate demon fetus!” A piercing shriek rang through the air. The soul ghost suddenly extracted itself from Princess Mu’s zombie and pounced on the ghostly face.

A connate demon fetus?!

Lu Yun jumped with surprise when he heard this. A connate demon fetus was the ultimate peak of demonic dao in the Land of Reincarnation. The demon of immortal dao had established an era of demonic dao once he obtained it, thereby causing the great devastation that ended the current cycle.

Lu Yun had never thought that the connate demon fetus would be his master’s resentment!

“No, no wait, I didn’t get the Tome of Life and Death in the past loops and couldn’t resurrect the dead. Even though I always visited Earth to pay respects to my master’s tomb, he wouldn’t have resented me!” Lu Yun’s thoughts flew rapidly and he realized who was at the heart of this—Moran Dongning!

She was the Time Guard and protector of this land’s time and space. She wasn’t part of the reincarnation cycle and didn’t have a destiny in this land. As such, she could walk freely through the long river of time and others would naturally begrudge her for it. She was a thorn in the side of many and they all wanted to kill her.

Since she didn’t have a place in the worlds of the Land of Reincarnation, she faced danger at every possible second. If it wasn’t for the Spacetime King protecting her, she would’ve died a long time ago.

She was the one who’d delivered the connate demon fetus and placed her ghost mask—a token of her identity—on Lu Yun’s body. It was because of this that the demon of malice didn’t cause trouble for the young man. It didn’t stir to action until Lu Yun accessed sequence.

“No wonder my previous calculations told me that this is an opportunity for the Demonic Vine. It’s a connate demon fetus!”

The demon of malice was incomparably terrifying—he extended his jaw and bit down on the soul ghost before Lu Yun could react.

Shrieking with anguish, the soul ghost lost one of its arms to the demon. At the same time, the mammoth wills in the surroundings noticed the unique attributes of this demon and recognized the connate demon fetus.

Booooom.

Boom!

Boom.

Hands reached down from above to grab the demon of malice. Whoever obtained the connate demon fetus would be able to establish an era of demonic dao and administer the Land of Reincarnation.

The demon fetus took human form and appeared as an old man with white hair—Lu Qingtian. Instead of the youthful looks and ethereal air that should be wrapped around him, he blazed with demonic flames and was the epitome of something from the depths of hell.

He ignored Lu Yun from beginning to end, soaring into the sky and expanding himself so that he could grapple with the arms in the void.

“He’s my master! Even if he resents me with all the bitterness of existence, he is still my master!” Lu Yun set his jaw. His master’s resentment hadn’t attacked him; all of its malice was directed toward the outsiders.

Lu Yun ground his teeth and put away his Netherdark Talisman, shooting up into the firmament to where his master was. They stood side by side in the skies of the Abyssal Hell.
