Chapter 468: Internal Support

“Ancestor!”

With a sorrowful cry, a powerful Demon Clan member instantly fell to the ground in reverence.

The other Demon Clan members, who were still processing things, paused for a moment, carefully observing the appearance of the Innate Demon Infant, and suddenly realized who it was.

“Ancestor! You have finally awakened!”

“We pay our respects to you, Ancestor!”

Almost all of the Demon Clan members were extremely emotional; the appearance of the Innate Demon Infant meant that they now had a Great Emperor above them, and they were no longer the neglected children of a stepmother.

The Innate Demon Infant frowned.

What’s going on here?

Is someone actually crying?

Is this really the same bloodthirsty, crazy, lawless Demon Clan he knew?

When things are unusual, there’s usually something up!

He looked at this group of demons, their faces filled with grievances, as if they had a hard story to tell.

“Enough, stop acting all shameful! The Demon Clan doesn’t shed tears, don’t you know that?” the Innate Demon Infant said unhappily.

If it weren’t for the fact that these demons were seasoned veterans, he would have swallowed these whimpering ones whole by now.

“What exactly happened? Tell me!”

The Innate Demon Infant’s words were like poking a hornet’s nest.

“Ancestor, our Demon Clan is suffering!”

“That Lu Ye, he’s simply inhumane!”

The Innate Demon Infant’s expression darkened. He pointed his finger and instantly obliterated the whiny Demon Clan member, turning him into dust.

“Speak normally!”

The rest of the Demon Clan members felt a chill run down their spines, suddenly reminded that this ancestor wasn’t someone to be trifled with; he was a terrifying existence that made the heavens tremble.

“Ancestor, it’s like this. Within the Nine Heavens, a reborn Celestial Lord has appeared, named Lu Ye. In his previous life, we don’t even know how we provoked him, but after his rebirth, he specifically hunts down our Demon Clan…”

“From the First Heaven onwards, every time he ascends a level, he kills demons. Even if he doesn’t kill all, only a few remain.”

“Our Demon Clan hasn’t even offended him, yet he hunts us down mercilessly, level by level!”

“He even says that killing demons doesn’t need a reason, that we demons don’t have pain receptors—what does he mean we don’t feel pain? We have flesh and blood, we’re living beings too!”

“The worst part was in the Fifth Heaven; we finally had a talented genius among us who was developing the Demon Clan immensely, even hoping to unify the Fifth Heaven, but he—he killed him outright!”

“Even when the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was around, we never felt this oppressed. When he kills, he doesn’t differentiate between young or old; any demon is fair game!”

The one speaking was a top-level Void Realm member of the Demon Clan. Even though their clan leader just got obliterated, he felt like crying more and more as he spoke.

Who did the demons offend?

Isn’t it tough enough being a demon?!

Upon hearing this, the Innate Demon Infant erupted in fury.

How despicable!

“So why didn’t you just kill him as soon as he ascended to the Sixth Heaven?” the Innate Demon Infant asked.

“We couldn’t! He’s with the Heavenly Gate, and they’re protecting him, how could we possibly strike?”

The Demon Clan, having finally revived an ancestor, felt like they found their backbone and started unloading their grievances.

All their accumulated complaints came pouring out.

It’s tough!

So tough!

“See, this is what you call using the Demon Clan to kill him,” the Darkness Origin remarked gleefully.

The Innate Demon Infant’s expression was dark.

“You said he’s a reborn Celestial Lord, what does that even mean? What’s the difference between reincarnation and rebirth?”

The Demon Clan hurriedly explained the concept of rebirth again.

“You know he’s reborn, right?”

The Innate Demon Infant asked the Darkness Origin.

“Of course, otherwise why do you think I’ve targeted him since the Third Heaven? No, I even started in the Second Heaven, but really, there was nothing I could do,” the Darkness Origin replied.

The Innate Demon Infant began to ponder.

“Now that I’ve awakened, it will be the end for Lu Ye!”

The Darkness Origin perked up instantly.

“What do you plan to do?” the Darkness Origin asked.

“First, gather the Void Realm members of the Demon Clan!”

The Demon Clan members exchanged glances; they actually wanted to advise the Innate Demon Infant to reconsider. After all, if they couldn’t win, couldn’t they just hide?

They could stay in the outer realm and avoid confronting Lu Ye again.

“Hurry up!”

The Innate Demon Infant shouted in anger.

He felt utterly humiliated; this group of people was making the Demon Clan lose face.

Once, they suppressed the heavens and ruled an entire era.

And now they were reduced to this pathetic state!

At that moment, Lu Ye also opened his eyes.

“Nine Lives, the plan might need some changes. The Innate Demon Infant has awakened early; it’s the same one who broke your Stone Sword last time and you crushed him to death. He’s now scheming to kill you; perhaps we should put the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace on hold for now!”

Upon hearing that name, Lu Ye perked up.

Right, in his previous life, once Lu Ye broke through to the Great Emperor realm, the Stone Sword evolved into a Divine Weapon.

But the evolution was rushed.

Just after it finished evolving, it joined Lu Ye in a rampage against the Dark Chaos.

After Lu Ye killed two Great Emperors, he went on to fight five others, causing the heavens to crumble.

The strongest among them was this Innate Demon Infant, to the point that even the Stone Sword shattered.

In the end, the Innate Demon Infant was pounded into pulp by Lu Ye’s fist, his Dao Fruit reduced to dust.

And now this guy had awakened early.

At this moment, Lu Ye’s Primordial Force was fully restored.

“Alright, let’s deal with him first!”

A cold killing intent flashed in Lu Ye’s eyes as he summoned the Stone Sword.

The Stone Sword was now entirely crimson.

It had consumed a lot of precious materials and was rapidly upgrading.

It was many times stronger than it was in his previous life at the Sixth Heaven.

In this life, all resources were solely enjoyed by Lu Ye, so the Stone Sword was far from being frugal like in the past.

In fact, it wasn’t really frugal in the past; it was simply poor.

“Nine Lives, the Innate Demon Infant has activated the Hundred Sons Return to Heaven technique, controlling a hundred Void Realm members to come and kill you in the Nine Heavens.”

Hundred Sons Return to Heaven technique?

Lu Ye recognized this spell.

In his previous life, the Innate Demon Infant used the Ten Thousand Sons Return to Heaven technique to gather infants for him. Now, using the Hundred Sons Return to Heaven likely meant he had control over only about a hundred Void Realm members in the Demon Clan.

“Can you handle a hundred Void Realm members controlled by a Great Emperor?” the Darkness Origin asked.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment.

“No problem!”

If he couldn’t win, he could always run.

“Good, then I’ll tell the Innate Demon Infant that I’ll use the treasures given by the Reincarnation Celestial Lord as bait to attract him, and you can come to reap the rewards!”

“Sounds good!”
