This Child Has Courted Death—He Deserves to Die!

"This old servant pays his respects to Eldest Sister and Young Master."

Old Tuo suddenly appeared before them and respectfully bowed. However, Chu Tian noticed that Old Tuo's gaze was slightly gloomy, though he concealed it well—at least, Chu Yunshang could not see it.

"Grandpa Tuo, I told you to call me Yunshang. You always agree, then call me Eldest Miss again the very next day." Chu Yunshang pouted, ran forward, hugged Old Tuo's arm, and shook it coquettishly.

Old Tuo had guarded the Sacred Emperor Peak's main hall for many years. All four Chu siblings had been born in that hall and had grown up under his watch. Though they were not family by blood, their bond surpassed that of family.

"All right, all right, my Eldest Miss, stop shaking me. These old bones of mine are about to be shaken apart. Next time, I definitely will."

Old Tuo grinned, his face full of smiles, but as he spoke, his eyes turned toward Chu Tian. "Young Master, the Supreme Yin Yang Art you mentioned just now... could it be the cultivation method left behind by the Supreme Demon Clan that invaded our Hengtian Continent in ancient times?"

"Old Tuo is truly knowledgeable. It is indeed one of the Supreme Demon Sect's supreme secret arts, left behind after the Supreme Demon Clan withdrew from the Hengtian Continent—the Supreme Yin Yang Art, cultivated by their higher-ups and core disciples. The reason Little Tian knows of it is because the Destiny Dao Venerable's inheritance contains information about the Supreme Yin Yang Art."

Chu Tian replied in a low voice, though his fists had already clenched tight. Naturally, he had made up the part about the Destiny Dao Venerable's inheritance containing records of the Supreme Yin Yang Art.

The system had only plundered the Destiny Dao Venerable's inheritance, not his memories. Moreover, the Destiny Dao Venerable had been a Dao Venerable from a hundred thousand years ago, while the Supreme Demon Sect had been jointly exterminated by the major righteous top sects of the Hengtian Continent nearly a million years ago. The demonic scriptures and divine abilities it left behind had been jointly sealed away by the experts of those sects. The Destiny Dao Venerable might not necessarily have known about them.

Still, whenever something came up, pinning it on the Destiny Dao Venerable could save him a great deal of needless explanation and trouble.

"Bastard! He deserves to die!"

"That beast actually dared to be so utterly frenzied and lawless, scheming against the Chu Family's eldest legitimate daughter!"

Suddenly, Old Tuo let out a low roar of fury. A sharp gleam burst from his clouded eyes, and the terrifying aura that flashed by made even the dim night sky seem to tremble. His hunched back straightened, as though the figure of a tall, burly man emerged behind him. Gray hair danced wildly, demonic aura surged into the heavens, as if he were about to destroy the world.

Chu Yunshang's face turned deathly pale in fright. In that instant, it seemed as if her vision had blurred and she had seen some illusion. The hunched old man before her stood as tall as a mountain, blood-red hair spilling down his back—a Demon God whose hands were stained with countless lives.

"Grandpa Tuo, what's wrong?" Chu Yunshang's voice trembled.

Yet very quickly, the scene she had seen vanished. The kind smile remained on Old Tuo's face as he grinned at her. "Eldest Miss, it's nothing."

"That's good. Grandpa Tuo, you were so frightening just now. You looked like a Demon God who had slaughtered countless people."

Chu Yunshang playfully stuck out her tongue, then turned to ask her younger brother whether he had seen it too.

Chu Tian shook his head and directly denied it. "Sister, perhaps you've only just returned from your training and your mind is exhausted, so you had an illusion. Grandpa Tuo has watched over our family's main hall for years and has never even left the sect. How could he possibly be a Demon God?"

"That's true. I really must be tired."

The sight from before had badly frightened Chu Yunshang. She was still unsettled, her face somewhat pale. After kissing Old Tuo and her younger brother once each, she turned and returned to her room in the main hall to rest.

Once they watched Chu Yunshang leave, the smiles on Old Tuo's and Chu Tian's faces vanished at once.

"Young Master, can you be certain that Eldest Miss is cultivating the Supreme Demon Sect's supreme secret art, the Supreme Yin Yang Art?" Old Tuo's expression was rarely solemn. He seemed like an entirely different person, and an extremely terrifying light flickered in his eyes.

"Grandpa Tuo, not only is it the Supreme Yin Yang Art, I can also be certain that it is the secondary formula of the Supreme Yin Yang Art."

Chu Tian's gaze was icy as he said word by word, "Eldest Sister has been turned into Ye Feng's Humanoid Demon Soldier Furnace Cauldron."

"The day Eldest Sister ignites her divine fire will be the day the Supreme Yin Yang Secret Art reaches great completion. The Seven Emotions and Six Desires within her will burn away, and Yin-Yang power will condense into a Demonic Dao Fruit. At that time, Eldest Sister will fall into the demonic path and become a Humanoid Demon Soldier devoid of emotion and desire. Once the person cultivating the main formula of the Supreme Yin Yang Art harvests the fruit, she will become nearly like a stone—without personal desires, knowing only slaughter and cultivation, providing her master with the fruits of her cultivation."

Chu Tian's earlier question had actually only been a test. At the stage he had been reborn into, the Great Vengeance Demon Lord was still young, and Chu Yunshang had not yet married Ye Feng. Thus, he had not been certain whether Chu Yunshang was already cultivating this secret art.

But once he received Chu Yunshang's answer, surging killing intent filled his heart.

The Supreme Yin Yang Art was divided into the main and secondary formulas. Whoever cultivated the main formula became the master of the secondary formula's cultivator. Their souls would be linked, and they could never escape one another for life. If the main formula's cultivator died, the secondary formula's cultivator's consciousness would instantly be annihilated. Furthermore, the moment one cultivating the secondary formula ignited divine fire, they would become a furnace cauldron for all eternity, their cultivation gains automatically shared with their master.

And that was not all.

Once the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of a secondary formula cultivator burned to ashes, they would attain Supreme Forgetfulness. Free from all external distractions, their hearts would contain only their master. They would live for their master and die for their master, wholeheartedly devoted. Their combat power would multiply, and their cultivation speed would become astonishingly fast. They could be called Humanoid Demon Soldiers that combined offense and defense, while also assisting their master's cultivation.

During the Primordial Era, the higher-ups and core disciples of the Supreme Demon Sect would capture the geniuses—and even high-ranking members—of major sects, forcing them to cultivate the Supreme Yin Yang Art and forging them into exclusive Humanoid Demon Soldier Furnace Cauldrons. Their methods were too evil, and the Supreme Demon Sect was utterly unrestrained. In the end, the enraged major sects of the Hengtian Continent joined forces to besiege them and wiped out the sect completely.

The numerous demonic scriptures and divine abilities left behind by the Supreme Demon Sect were sealed away together. Only the sect masters and vice sect masters of the major top sects could open them.

In the original story, after Chu Yunshang ignited her divine fire, she severed emotions and desires and fell into the demonic path. Possessing an Innate Sacred Bone, her combat power soared, and her demonic might shook the heavens. After betraying the Sacred Heaven Sect, she slaughtered countless people, drawing the wrath and resentment of the entire Hengtian Continent.

Chu Tianwang loved his daughter deeply and repeatedly stepped forward to protect her, causing the Chu Family to be loathed by many sects as well.

The Chu Family, which had endured for a million years, was ultimately destroyed, and this was closely connected to it.

By then, the Chu Family had long become the target of heaven's wrath and public resentment across the Hengtian Continent. No family had been willing to extend them a helping hand.

Otherwise, how could a top great clan that had been passed down for a million years—with the connections, alliances by marriage, and relationships accumulated across generations—be so easily exterminated?

Chu Tian had originally thought that Ye Feng only made Eldest Sister cultivate the Supreme Yin Yang Secret Art after the wedding, once she had married into the Ye Family and taken up permanent residence at Sacred Emperor Peak.

Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Ye Feng to be so audacious and unscrupulous that he had already exploited Chu Yunshang's innocence to make her cultivate the Supreme Yin Yang Secret Art.

After all, the earlier one began cultivating the Supreme Yin Yang Secret Art, the more extreme the sublimation upon igniting divine fire. Once the Seven Emotions and Six Desires burned away, the Demonic Dao Fruit that bloomed and formed would have even greater effects.

"Audacious beyond measure! Audacious beyond measure! This child has already courted death—he deserves to die..."

Old Tuo was trembling all over with rage. He seemed extremely familiar with the Supreme Demon Sect's demonic cultivation. "Young Master, Ye Feng must be killed. He actually dared to cultivate the Supreme Yin-Yang Demonic Art, treating Eldest Miss as a demon soldier furnace cauldron and refining her into a puppet."

"But what should be done now? Once the main formula's cultivator dies, the secondary formula's cultivator's consciousness will immediately collapse and be extinguished." A faint layer of blood-red color covered Old Tuo's clouded eyes, and his voice trembled.

"Moreover, as cultivation continues, the dependence a cultivator of the Supreme Yin Yang Art's secondary formula feels toward the main formula's cultivator will steadily deepen. The process cannot be interrupted. Otherwise, the secondary formula's cultivator will instantly suffer the destruction of both body and soul."

"Eldest Miss is so kind and lively. Though her talent is astonishing, and she was accepted as a disciple by an extraterrestrial Holy God from the moment she was born, she has never put on any airs. Yet she... she has been harmed by such a petty man, such a petty man..."
