The Demon Is About to Descend

Chapter 24: The Demon Approaches

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

In the family council hall, Patriarch Yu Yuanzhen sat in the high seat, his cold eyes cast downward as the elder below him trembled.

Just moments ago, the caretaker of the family's leased land had come to report a matter of great importance, yet after presenting it, it turned out to be nothing more than a book.

The book on the table had a blue cover that had long since faded to white, its exterior worn and tattered.

"Hmph! You had better not be wasting my time." Yu Yuanzhen snorted, picking up the book to leaf through it.

"The matters recorded in this book are the secret history of the family; none but the Patriarch and the caretaker may view them!"

The opening two sentences piqued his curiosity, and he continued to read.

I am Yu Qingtian. In the wild, desolate lands, I obtained the power of the Thunder Demon Zhong Su, causing my martial soul to evolve into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. I hereby establish the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and I hope my descendants will honor the demon as their ancestor to repay this debt of gratitude.

Thereafter, I used this supreme martial soul to dominate the world, earning the title of the strongest beast martial soul.

There is no one on the continent who does not know the fame of me, Yu Qingtian!

In the year 291 of the Douluo calendar, at the age of 139, I—lacking a divine position—successfully broke through to level 100. Yet, suffering from the lack of a divine position, I could not ascend to godhood, though my strength shocked the world.

However, the stronger I became, the more I sensed the power of the demon—a power that was unspeakable, unimaginable, and unfathomable.

At the same time, I learned a secret.

Demons are immortal and will eventually be resurrected!

It is only a pity that I will not live to see that day. I have sealed all my power into a Thunder Stone and placed this book inside it as well.

If one day the Thunder Stone senses the aura of the demon, this book will appear automatically. Whoever sees this book must notify the Patriarch as soon as possible to welcome my master—the Thunder Demon Zhong Su!

Under the master's leadership, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family shall dominate the continent and reach the pinnacle of glory!

Reading this, Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned ugly. His own family was built upon the power of some demon? How could that be?

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was his pride! Bastard!

This must be fake.

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head repeatedly, his heart unwilling to believe this result, yet he felt a sense of panic.

Nowadays, the word "demon" was no stranger on the continent. Many people believed in the existence of demons; after all, Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall had offered a bounty for a demon's life as the Second Pontiff, and there was no one who did not know this explosive news.

"Demons, demons, why are there demons everywhere?"

Yu Yuanzhen slammed his hand against the armrest, furious.

He continued reading, hoping to find some flaw in the book, but he was left disappointed.

The subsequent records in the book were all precautions and miscellaneous matters, including the demon's appearance, preferences, and habits. It seemed the recorder truly viewed himself as a servant.

However, one thing caught Yu Yuanzhen's attention.

Yu Qingtian speculated that when the Sea God previously condensed his divine position through faith, he had actually obtained the power of another demon.

Theoretically, as long as one obtained the power of a demon, it was possible to create one's own divine position.

Create one's own divine position!

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, and he sat up straight. If that was the case, he was inclined to believe it.

While demons might not be trustworthy, a demon that could help him become a god was absolutely worth trusting.

"So the Sea God became a god by obtaining the power of a demon. My ancestor was already a level 100 existence back then; aside from lacking a divine position, he was no different from an ordinary god. His speculation should not be mere nonsense."

And now that the ancestor's record is in my hands, does that not mean the demon is about to be unleashed?

Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath and slowly closed the book.

"Is this... true?" he asked, his eyes lowered as he suppressed his excitement.

Below, the elder, whose waist and legs were already aching from kneeling, hurriedly replied.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, I can confirm that this flew out of the forbidden land suddenly, and the Thunder Stone mentioned in the ancestor's book is hidden deep within the forbidden area of our leased land."

"Very good!" Yu Yuanzhen stood up excitedly and burst through the roof, leaving the main hall.

According to the records in the book, his ancestor had left him a stroke of fortune inside that Thunder Stone!

The fortune of a level 100 powerhouse—how could one not be tempted?

"Fortune, here I come!" he exclaimed excitedly.

In the secret chamber of the Pope Palace, Shendu hung quietly on the wall. In his mind, divine power was constantly increasing, with countless tiny wisps of power merging into a small river of divinity.

Suddenly, a significantly thicker stream of divine power surged into the Divine Position Space, causing Shendu to nod in satisfaction.

Not bad. Yu Yuanzhen was indeed obsessed with strength.

In the original story, Yu Yuanzhen was a cultivation fanatic. His top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, combined with dragon transformation and inherited soul bones, made his strength second to none among his peers.

If Sword Douluo were at the same level as him, it would be hard to say who would be stronger!

It was a pity that he never broke through level 96 in his entire life. At level 95, he was beaten to death by the Spirit Hall to protect his family, and the most tragic part was that his family was wiped out as well—a truly miserable life.

Such a miserable life, it certainly needs a change. I only hope that when you meet your master, you can manage to survive his hands.

After all, Zhong Su is hardly a gentle or refined fellow!

Shendu let out a raspy laugh, then fell silent, waiting.

In Tianshui City, Dai Xieyue stood upon a rooftop with a grim expression; even after rushing here, he still hadn't found a trace of the Talisman.

"Damn it, go and search again!" he shouted in a fit of rage.

The Shadow Ninjas covering the surrounding rooftops vanished in unison, setting off once more to hunt for the Talisman.

Dai Xieyue remained where he was, lost in thought.

This is impossible. The sensing range of the Sacred Dragon Carving is vast; there is no way the target could have left that range in such a short amount of time.

Damn it, what could be the reason?

After pondering for a long time without finding an answer, Dai Xieyue flew into a rage.

"Hmph, if I still can't find it, this Highness will slaughter the city! I refuse to believe you won't come out then!"

High above the rooftops, a cold aura of death permeated the surroundings.

As one of the Heaven Dou Empire's vital cities, Tianshui City boasted the prestigious Tianshui Academy, and the geniuses within were a frequent topic of conversation, largely because the academy's students were all stunning beauties.

At this moment, inside the Soul Fighting Arena.

Shui Bing'er, the captain of the current Tianshui Academy team, had just finished a soul fight, and her opponent had been a Soul King.

Most importantly, she had won!

"Shui Bing'er! Shui Bing'er!"

"My god, to think she could even defeat a Soul King! She truly lives up to her name as the continent's number one female genius!"

The arena erupted in cheers, the crowd chanting Shui Bing'er's name.

Meanwhile, several powerful soul masters stood frozen in shock, completely unable to fathom that such a thing could happen.

A level 41 Soul Ancestor had actually defeated a level 54 Soul King? Even for a cross-rank battle, this was unheard of!

In the exit tunnel, Shui Bing'er's expression suddenly shifted; a hideous, cyan mask manifested on her face before forcibly fading back to transparency.

"No, I can't hold it back anymore!" She hurriedly turned her body completely invisible, quickening her pace as she vanished into the tunnel.

At the same time, on a distant rooftop.

"Hehehe! Found you!" Dai Xieyue smirked coldly.
