Chapter 1126: 799 Origin of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord

The voice of the Underworld River Ancestor was filled with disdain, clearly looking down on the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, not believing that the latter could save him.

For the Underworld River Ancestor to think this way was completely normal. After all, you, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, are still sealed yourself, without any chance of escape, so how could you have the face to save him from ascending to heaven?

"Control?"

After hearing the words of the Underworld River Ancestor, Jiang Chen immediately caught the keyword.

In Jiang Chen’s understanding, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was sealed by the angry Primordial Heavenly Sovereign because of his name, but according to the Underworld River Ancestor, things might not be that simple.

Otherwise, if it were just a seal, how could it be said to break free from control? The prerequisite for breaking free from control is that one has already been controlled by someone else.

So, is it to say that the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord is not just sealed by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign but controlled by him?

With doubts in his mind, Jiang Chen did not respond immediately but started to ponder silently.

"What, did I touch a sore spot of yours?"

Seeing Jiang Chen silent, the Underworld River Ancestor thought he had hit the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord’s pain point and couldn’t help but sneer.

"Your origins might deceive others, but they cannot escape my eyes. People all say that, like the rest of us, you are also a descendant of the Innate Saints and hence valued by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who took you as his disciple."

"However, I know this is not the case. Because of the Sea of Blood, I too have some connections with the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and know some of his secrets. Thus, I am aware that until his demise, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had never taken any disciples."

As the most unclean place in the Prehistoric World, the Sea of Blood is closer to the Demonic Way than to the Immortal Dao. Even so, in the early years before the Underworld River Ancestor was born, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was once active in the Sea of Blood for some time.

And it is precisely because of the influence of the residual aura of the Demon Ancestor that the Underworld River Ancestor’s temperament is different from the other Innate Saints of the Mystic Sect, acting unscrupulously and even more like the Demonic Way.

Being fated to the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, the Underworld River Ancestor naturally knew many secrets about Luo Hou, so he was aware that this patriarch of the Demonic Way, although he had established it, had, in fact, no disciples.

That Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, unknown where he sprang from, just took the name of the Demon Ancestor’s disciple to act.

"Fellow daoist jests, can you truly know the divine abilities of the Demon Ancestor?"

Jiang Chen mimicked the laughter of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, pretending not to take the Underworld River Ancestor’s words to heart.

Despite appearing calm on the surface, Jiang Chen’s heart was extremely excited. Could this be that, by a stroke of luck, he had managed to coax out the secrets of Heaven and Earth from the mouth of the Underworld River Ancestor?

Honestly speaking, Jiang Chen was also very curious about the origins of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord. As the Underworld River Ancestor said, this guy seemed to have emerged out of nowhere.

There was no trace of him before, yet as soon as the Great Ancient era ended and the Distant Ancient Era began, he suddenly appeared, stirring up storms in the Chaos World.

It could be said that one of the main reasons that the early Distant Ancient Era was called the Dark Age was due to the havoc caused by the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord.

This guy appeared suddenly and, taking advantage of the time when the Saints and the Great Divine Transcendents were busy repairing Heaven and Earth and had no time to pay attention, drove Fierce Beasts with Demonic Way secret methods, openly triggering the Calamity of the Fierce Beasts, and even provoked conflicts among myriad tribes, causing endless wars.

Thanks to the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, the recently shattered Chaos World almost completely collapsed after the cataclysmic battles between the Witch and Demon tribes.

It wasn’t until Fuxi, the Heavenly Emperor, emerged out of nowhere, unifying the power of myriad tribes with his supreme grandeur, that he calmed the chaotic Fierce Beasts and restored peace to Heaven and Earth, forcing the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord to retreat into the Chaos and not show himself for one million years.

The title of the second-generation Demon Ancestor came from this, representing his achievement of almost destroying the Chaos World, similar to the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

His deeds were astonishing, but that did not explain the origins of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord. Self-proclaimed as the successor of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, but prior to the ancient era, his traces were unseen.

After his emergence, the strength he displayed was extremely impressive, nearly reaching that of a Saint, surpassing many Great Divine Transcendents and causing shock in the hearts of many.

In the Prehistoric World, all living beings, except for the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial who are detached from Heaven and Earth, would leave traces behind if they ever existed. No one could appear out of nowhere.

But the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord broke this common sense. He had no traceable background, giving the impression that he just sprang up out of the blue.

There could only be two explanations for this situation—one, the origins of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord were related to the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial; the other involved an Innate Treasure. Only in such cases would there be no traces left.

Origins related to the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial...

That’s why the fact that the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord is the disciple of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was taken for granted by people. After all, of those born of the Primordial Daluo Jinxian, Luo Hou was the only one.

...

......

"Indeed, the divine abilities of the Demon Ancestor are strong. If not so, you would not exist."

"Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord, why do you take the name ’Primordial’? Do I need to spell out the reason for you?"

The Underworld River Ancestor did not deny the strength of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. On the contrary, he highly recognized it; and it was because of the existence of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord that he believed the Demon Ancestor to be strong.

From the earlier words of the Underworld River Ancestor, Jiang Chen drew two conclusions. First, the appearance of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord was definitely related to the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. Second, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord might indeed have some kind of relationship with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.
