Chapter 837 Summary: The Demon Ancestor’s Aura
Key Plot Points and Events
- Lin Chuan orders Akatsuki to stop holding back and kill as many demons as possible. He explains that Jia Wenhe, despite being a Void Refinement expert, is only present through a limited-strength spirit body; his true body still avoids personally entering the battlefield.
- With Lin Chuan’s assurance that Jia Wenhe cannot directly threaten them, Akatsuki launches an all-out attack against the demon clan.
- Lin Chuan activates the power of the White Lotus, releasing an aura identical to that of the demon ancestor. The aura suppresses the demon clan’s bloodlines and souls, reducing their combat strength by at least thirty percent.
- Jia Wenhe is shocked by the aura and suspects that Lin Chuan may have discovered the demon ancestor’s corpse or burial site. He realizes that Lin Chuan may possess a lotus jade similar to his own and may be competing for access to the Inheritance Altar.
- The demon clan’s advantage disappears under the suppression. Akatsuki rapidly turns the battle into a massacre.
- Lin Chuan summons his Sandstone Gourd and unleashes vast quantities of sand, crushing demons across the battlefield.
- He deliberately targets Ye Qingguo and Ye Qingcheng, the sisters from Thousand Mountain Valley, even though they are not members of the demon clan. They realize that Azure Dragon intends to kill them rather than having mistaken them for enemies.
Character Developments
- Lin Chuan/Azure Dragon: Becomes much more aggressive and confident after learning the truth about Jia Wenhe and receiving the demon ancestor’s support. He shifts from defensive tactics to decisive slaughter and demonstrates his ability to suppress an entire bloodline.
- Qin Lang and Meng Jingxian: Initially hesitate because of the presence of a Void Refinement expert, but Lin Chuan’s explanation restores their confidence. Meng Jingxian is especially eager to fight, unaware of Azure Dragon’s true identity.
- Jia Wenhe: His confidence is shaken. He recognizes the demon ancestor’s aura in Lin Chuan and begins to fear that Lin Chuan may seize the inheritance before him. His uncertainty prevents him from immediately attacking.
- The demon clan: Their fear and confusion grow as the aura suppresses their power. Their previous dominance over Akatsuki collapses.
- Ye Qingguo and Ye Qingcheng: Discover that they are also targets of Lin Chuan’s attack, placing them in immediate danger.
Significant Themes
- Power gained through inheritance and bloodline suppression: The demon ancestor’s aura gives Lin Chuan overwhelming psychological and physical control over the demon clan.
- Strategic deception and counter-scheming: Jia Wenhe had manipulated conflicts to eliminate others, but Lin Chuan now turns the situation against him.
- Reversal of power: Akatsuki moves from being suppressed and nearly overwhelmed to dominating the battlefield.
- Hidden identity and dramatic irony: Meng Jingxian enthusiastically fights beside Azure Dragon without knowing that Azure Dragon is actually his protector, Mu Yuyi.
- Competition for the inheritance: Both Lin Chuan and Jia Wenhe are attempting to gather enough demon blood sacrifices to access the Inheritance Altar.
Character Interactions
- Lin Chuan reassures Qin Lang and Meng Jingxian that Jia Wenhe’s manifested body is limited and orders everyone to fight without restraint.
- Akatsuki members respond to Lin Chuan’s command by attacking the demon clan simultaneously.
- Lin Chuan’s aura affects every demon present, while Jia Wenhe observes from concealment and reacts with alarm.
- Jia Wenhe compares Lin Chuan’s aura with the lotus jade in his possession and realizes they may be pursuing the same inheritance.
- Lin Chuan’s sand unexpectedly—or deliberately—turns toward Ye Qingguo and Ye Qingcheng, prompting them to protest before recognizing his murderous intent.
