Chapter 467: Innate Demon Infant

“Actually, I don’t have any deep-seated grudges with you from my last life.”

“The friends and family of yours that perished? That was the doing of those old fossils inside me.”

“Those old fossils have nothing to do with me! They found me, and I couldn’t shake them off.”

“In my last life, someone targeted you, but I never got directly involved.”

As Dark Origin spoke, he suddenly felt a bit wronged.

“You’re really laying it on thick in this life,” Lu Ye said calmly.

If Dark Origin had eyes right now, they would undoubtedly be rolling.

“I just sat back and watched you cross tribulation in my last life, and all of a sudden, you dragged me into self-detonation. Aren’t I justified in feeling wronged?”

“When I was reborn, I thought, instead of just watching this play unfold, I might as well take the initiative. So, I found An Li and brought her out early from her maternal clan. She was so weak that it took a lot to stuff her into the lower heavens, thinking I could wipe you out while you were still weak and unable to unleash your powers.”

“And now, here we are.”

Lu Ye scoffed disdainfully.

Dark Origin had cleaned his own hands of it all, portraying himself as an innocent little flower.

If Lu Ye believed that, he’d truly be a fool.

But it was somewhat understandable; after all, Dark Origin had surrendered, so he definitely wouldn’t be highlighting his own mistakes to Lu Ye.

Did Dark Origin hesitate when An Li tried to harm him back then?

Well, maybe there wasn’t that much hesitation…

At this moment, Lu Ye felt a bit indignant.

Damn it, he really deserved this!

But Dark Origin certainly played a role in fanning the flames.

Just when Lu Ye was about to say something more, the dark mist stirred.

“Oh? An old fossil is waking up, and it’s happening rather quickly this time.”

“Nine Lives, I’ll go check on him first. Contact me whenever you need!”

Lu Ye nodded.

The dark mist vanished before him.

Lu Ye continued to regain his Primordial Force, and once he was done, it would be time to raid the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace.

And as for the Reincarnation Celestial Lord?

Lu Ye could only pretend he was unaware of that matter. He wouldn’t breathe a word unless he became a Great Emperor.

No, even as a peak Great Emperor, it was best for him to stay silent.

Six Paths of Reincarnation, a Celestial Lord and six Emperor-level fighters, I’m telling you, it’s no joke; it could easily be touted as the number one power in the Nine Heavens. If Lu Ye even so much as showed a glimmer of hostility towards the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, he’d likely have someone teleport him back to reincarnation.

The consciousness of Dark Origin returned to the main body.

At this moment, a dense purple light sphere emitted a clear glow from within Dark Origin, which even darkness couldn’t obscure.

The purple light took on the shape of a giant egg, inside which was a tiny, pure, and exceptionally healthy-looking baby, nestled as if in a womb.

Just then, the baby opened its eyes.

“Innate, why are you awake?” Dark Origin asked.

The Innate Demon Infant blew a small bubble.

This was another terrifyingly renowned existence, the Innate Demon Infant, the number one under the Demon Ancestor, who especially feasted on babies. It was a child crafted through ghastly sorcery; the creator intended for the Innate Demon Infant to be a vessel for himself but ended up being backfired upon.

Since then, the Innate Demon Infant rose to prominence, earning a terrifying reputation in the dark ages.

“I sensed a hint of danger in the air, so I woke up. Dark, you must know what’s going on, right?” the Innate Demon Infant spoke, in a voice reminiscent of a newborn.

Dark Origin couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion; damn, this old fossil really knew how to read the atmosphere. The moment he surrendered, this being could sense something was off.

“I have indeed encountered some trouble lately, but your awakening doesn’t help much.”

Dark Origin said.

The Innate Demon Infant perked up.

“So, which of the new Celestials has taken action against you?”

“Great Sage of the Nine Heavens!”

“Huh?”

Don’t kid around; if the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was making moves, the Innate Demon Infant would probably be wiped out before it even had a chance to wake up.

“It’s all the Great Sage’s fault for insisting on sealing off the Nine Heavens, preventing you all from descending and wiping out that child of the Heavenly Dao. Time and again, I targeted him, and not only could I not deal with him, but I also drained a significant amount of my source power.” Dark Origin said angrily.

“What’s his power level?” the Innate Demon Infant asked.

“Still in the Sixth Heaven, as for his power level… what was it again? Oh right, Nine Extremities Realm!”

The little face of the Innate Demon Infant darkened, utterly incredulous.

“So you’re saying you repeatedly faced setbacks at the hands of a little bug in the Nine Extremities Realm?”

“What could I do? He’s backed by the Heavenly Dao, and I can’t just off him directly. You guys are strong, but can you cross over the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and go kill him?” Dark Origin retorted, utterly justified.

“You wouldn’t let those from the Sixth Heaven go take him out, would you?” the Innate Demon Infant asked.

“Let who?”

“The Demon Clan!”

Dark Origin？？？

“The Demon Clan?”

It seemed Dark Origin sensed something odd in his tone when he mentioned those two words.

“What’s wrong? Even after being judged by the Great Sage, the Demon Clan should still be among the strongest races in the world. Surely gathering the power of the Demon Clan should be enough to wipe out a little insect of the Nine Extremities Realm?”

Dark Origin…

“Since you’ve awakened, will you come out?” Dark Origin asked unceremoniously.

The Innate Demon Infant pondered for a moment, seemingly calculating the time.

“I can come into the world now!”

All the purple light began to contract at that moment.

The Innate Demon Infant completely absorbed the purple glow, growing slightly in size to that of a five or six-year-old child, but almost immediately, a strong stench of decay surged forth, and in the blink of an eye, a beautifully sculpted child had transformed into a frightfully ancient being.

The Innate Demon Infant looked at its new form, thoroughly displeased.

Seems like he needed to devour some more children to maintain his youthful state.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the Demon Clan!”

Dark Origin headed straight to the outer realm with the Innate Demon Infant.

In the outer realm, there were indeed no restrictions; however, right now, the outer realm was sparsely populated, and its vastness only made it appear particularly desolate.

A top-tier Emperor searching for someone was still quick work.

Before long, the Innate Demon Infant faced the fleeing Demon Clan from the Sixth Heaven.

Yes, the Demon Clan from the Sixth Heaven, having learned that Lu Ye was about to ascend, were quick to pack up and leave.

Not a moment longer, they were gone.

The appearance of the Innate Demon Infant momentarily stunned the Demon Clan members.

Some recognized the Innate Demon Infant right away.

Emotions surged instantly!
