Yueye's Assistance, Ilex: My Path Is Not Solitary!

A stern shout echoed.

Leading them were three Demon Race Squad Leaders. One of them, with gray wings on his back, was Kolok of the Winged Demon Race. He gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with horror.

"Such terrifying spiritual power fluctuations... it's the awakening of a human's Innate Inner Spiritual Power!"

Beside him, a burly Mad Demon Squad Leader responded in a gruff voice, "This kind of Talent is more terrifying than any Child of Light recorded! We must report this immediately!"

"Yes! We absolutely cannot let such a Genius grow!"

Just as they reached a consensus and prepared to send someone back to report, a clear, cold female voice sounded without warning, carrying a hint of condescension.

"What's going on, making so much noise?"

The sound of hooves approached, and a merchant caravan, bearing a flag with a special tribal emblem, slowly rolled in.

Kolok recognized the tribal emblem on the flag, his expression stiffened, and he immediately suppressed all his outward aura, bowing respectfully.

He strode forward and respectfully reported the phenomenon in the sky and their suspicions to the closed carriage curtain.

After a long while, the clear, cold female voice came from behind the curtain.

"I understand. I will report this matter to my superiors."

With that, the caravan passed by them without stopping, continuing its journey.

Only after the caravan was far away did the Demon Race Squad Leaders dare to straighten up.

Inside the carriage.

Yueye leaned against the soft cushion, but her expression changed.

She commanded the Maidservant beside her, her voice devoid of any warmth.

"Pass down the order."

"Eliminate all the Demon Race members who participated in the report just now. Silence them."

"Leave no one alive."

Inside the carriage, it was silent.

Yueye's fingertips lightly traced the brocade cushion. The aura contained within that sky-piercing pillar of light still echoed in her mind.

Pure light.

And, hidden in the deepest part of that light, an almost imperceptible wisp of... darkness.

That was a power unique to the Devil Race.

Humans could never possess such Spiritual Power.

That awakened one, like herself, was a hybrid of human and devil.

She had to help him.

Yueye sighed softly, her long eyelashes drooping slightly.

"Little one, this is as far as I can help you."

If possible, she really wanted to take this newly awakened fellow creature under her wing and personally nurture him.

In this world, the only one who could share her plight... perhaps, was him.

Unfortunately, venturing deep into human territory to find someone was tantamount to seeking death.

This Thought could only remain a Thought.

As she was lost in thought, outside the carriage, a few short, sharp, and tragic screams rang out one after another, quickly falling silent.

In the grass.

The bird-demon Kolok pressed his body extremely low, almost stopping his breathing.

He had felt something was wrong from the very beginning.

As a staunch supporter of war, he already harbored extreme disgust for the appeasement faction like Yueye, who advocated "human-devil trade."

Her abnormal attitude just now had confirmed his suspicions.

As expected!

Watching his colleagues, who had been conversing just moments before, being cleanly eliminated by Yueye's guards, intense hatred erupted in Kolok's eyes.

He silently took out a jet-black feather, cut his fingertip, and dripped a drop of devil blood onto it.

A nearly imperceptible message crossed space, reaching the Star Rail Guard directly.

"Yueye has betrayed the Devil Race and is harboring a human Genius!"

He concisely described the events.

After a long while, the feather vibrated, sending back a piece of information.

Kolok read its contents, trembling all over with excitement.

Lord Star Demon God has personally issued the order!

They will unite with the Mad Demon Race, the Hell Demon Race, and the Winged Demon Race, where he is located, to prepare an ambush and intercept Yueye's next caravan!

At that time, Lord Star Demon God will personally make a move to hold back Moon Demon God, preventing her from rescuing!

With this "betrayal of the race" ironclad evidence, even if Yueye dies, the Moon Demon Race will have nothing to say!

"Good, good, good!"

Kolok clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"Yueye, you're dead!"

He looked at the chaotic scene of the silencing in the distance and heavily kowtowed three times on the ground in that direction.

His teeth gnashed.

"Brothers, I will avenge you!"

Within the Demon Race Territory, undercurrents were already surging.

At the same time.

In a hidden Heaven-Piercing Holy Tower, in a place rarely visited by humans.

At the top of the tower, there was an eternal silence.

An ancient soul phantom appeared without warning.

In his semi-transparent eyes, a hint of confusion flashed first, then was replaced by utter astonishment.

"How is this possible?"

The ancient voice echoed in the empty tower top, with a hint of trembling.

He was completely stunned.

Ilex, the Holy Death Spirit Archmage.

Once an Innate Full Light Spiritual Power User, the most dazzling Child of Light on this continent, he had ultimately become the monarch of the undead.

He had waited for too long, only to find a successor who could carry on his legacy.

And just now, it was the pillar of light that shot up from Odin Town that awakened him from his endless slumber.

Ordinary people might only feel the vastness and divinity of that light.

But he, Ilex, clearly perceived the essence of that light.

That was an Innate Inner Spiritual Power that had perfectly reached one hundred points in the Light Attribute!

Not only that!

In the deepest part of that ultimate light, there also lurked a wisp of... darkness.

A wisp of darkness that perfectly blended with the power of light, with no conflict whatsoever!

Ilex's soul trembled.

This was precisely the most perfect undead magic cultivation physique he had envisioned his entire life, yet concluded could never exist in this world!

More perfect than his own physique!

In his understanding, this was a paradox.

Even for a human-demon hybrid, light and darkness would only conflict with each other, never simultaneously awaken.

To take a step back, even if by some miracle dual attributes awakened, they would inevitably suppress each other, making it impossible to reach high levels in a lifetime.

To take ten thousand steps back, even if both attributes were powerful enough, the total Innate Inner Spiritual Power could never break the shackles of one hundred! Mixed spiritual power would only bring the end of potential prematurely!

Even with the most perfect ratio, 99 points of light and one point of darkness, would be far inferior to 100 points of Light Attribute Innate Inner Spiritual Power!

But now, this assumption he had overturned countless times, this impossible miracle, had appeared alive and well!

"Haha... Hahahahaha!"

Ilex's soul projection fluctuated violently, emitting uncontrollable laughter of ecstasy.

"Heaven has not abandoned me!"

He made up his mind instantly.

At all costs, he had to find this child!

Hummm--

Ilex's semi-transparent body suddenly ignited, which was his spiritual origin that had slumbered for ten thousand years!

An invisible will, centered on the Holy Tower, spread out like a spiderweb, crossing mountains and rivers, passing through formidable passes, covering more than half of the Demon Race Territory!

Inside the cave.

Long Xuanye was completely unaware of the earth-shattering ripple he had already caused.
