Chapter 796: Chapter 758 Realm of Affection

"Brother Dong, where are you? Can you do something for me?"

The sweet voice of Pang Lin rang in Dong Tianze’s mind.

In a cave dwelling within the Yin Spirit Temple on the Xuan You Continent, there pervaded a thick scent of blood.

Drops of blood marks of varying colors, like glimmering crystals, were arranged in complex formations within the bloodiness.

If one looked at the blood marks magnified a million times, they would discover an array of intricately interwoven bloodline crystal chains that encompassed the bloodline truths of an entire race.

At this moment, Dong Tianze was seated amidst the blood, using his Spiritual Soul to decode those bloodline mysteries, turning them into his own power.

When Pang Lin’s request was heard, he was somewhat puzzled.

Since the Old Thunder Dragon was captured alive and imprisoned in Panshi Fragment Land, none of the Human Race sect powers above should dare target Pure Land or Pang Lin.

As for the Alien Tribes, they also lacked such strength at the moment.

Under these circumstances, who could threaten Pang Lin?

Thinking thus, Dong Tianze still gathered his power, and the dense bloodiness in the cave, along with the blood marks, surged violently back into his body.

The Heaven Phoenix Mark on his brow also suddenly shone bright, transforming into a resplendent and aloof phoenix.

The Phoenix Seal glowed brightly, brightening the dark cave as if it were daytime, even the cobwebs became sanctified in the light.

"The Old Dragon is dead, the Thunderbolt Profound Argumentation He comprehended, I have consumed as a Tao Fruit. That..."

Pang Lin, somewhat embarrassed, continued, "I am at the peak of the Immortal Realm now, already qualified for Divine Enthronement, but at the moment there’s no extra fate to use."

"Not long ago, the last bit of fate was taken by Li Yuqing, who successfully became a True God."

"As for me, I don’t know how much longer I’ll have to wait."

Pang Lin sighed softly, seeming somewhat disheartened.

Out of touch with the outside world, Dong Tianze, who had been secluded in this cave for a long time, casually inquired about her situation.

He quickly learned that the dark "Sky Curtain" of the Fifth Realm had disappeared, pulled away by some force, and that Li Wang, Ghost Mother, Jiang Fan, Zhu Ji, and others had all broken free from the Fifth Realm.

Zhu Ji had moreover broken through to the True God Realm in Purgatory, reaching the next mysterious realm.

His deeds inspired all existing True Gods; everyone was rigorously cultivating their realms, attempting to surge into the next realm to prepare for a challenging future.

"You mean, a True God needs to die for a bit of fate to become available?"

Dong Tianze soon grasped the idea.

He immediately ran through several names in his mind: Li Wang, Ghost Mother, Jiang Fan, Dong Shangqing, and Pei Yishan.

Zhu Ji had already advanced, officially stepping into the next realm, so he discounted him immediately.

And when Pure Land was attacked by the Old Dragon, although Dong Shangqing did not directly intervene, he still came over intending to assist.

Thus, Dong Shangqing was excluded as well.

What remained were Li Wang, Ghost Mother, and Jiang Fan.

"Li Yuqing and myself, after we new generation rise as gods, we’ll have much stronger confidence facing the future. In truth, many of the older generation True Gods, both in strength and potential, can’t keep up with the times," said Pang Lin in a low voice.

Dong Tianze nodded, "Yes, I deeply understand this point."

The deceased Tian Du San Ren, Li Yuanli, Lin Qiyang, and others like Li Chu, were in his view long overdue for elimination.

The living Yin Ji, Dong Shangqing, as well as Jiang Fan, when judged on current combat strength, likewise belonged to the weaker category.

"My brother just dealt with the Old Thunder Dragon for me, and it seems he still must station himself in the Fifth Realm. Besides, causing a True God to die would also destroy the unity within the Human Race, so..." Pang Lin seemed hesitant too.

Dong Tianze frowned, "You don’t have to talk to him about it; the responsibility he bears is too great. I’m different, I’m a lone wolf, the sect behind me is no more, my master is dead, I’m not afraid to bear any consequences! Tell me, who is your intended target?"

Pang Lin said, "The legacy I received comes from Heaven Phoenix, and you were once a Divine Guard. Among those responsible for the fall of Heaven Phoenix were Long Xiao, Zhu Ji, Li Wang, Ghost Mother, Liu Fu, and Jiang Fan."

"Long Xiao is dead, Liu Fu is dead, Zhu Ji is currently beyond your capabilities to deal with, and Li Wang and Ghost Mother are a tougher nut to crack."

"How about Jiang Fan?"

She sought Dong Tianze’s opinion in the end.

"The mightiest human emperor, Jiang Fan... then it’s Jiang Fan!" Dong Tianze’s eyes flashed with a hint of blood, saying, "After becoming the Blood God, I have finally secured my realm’s cultivation, and I believe I can overcome Jiang Fan!"

"Brother Dong, the Human Race godhood system, after the True God Realm, starts with God Commencement, followed by God Manifestation, and then Dominion," Pang Lin explained.

"The True God Realm corresponds to Low-rank God, God Commencement to Middle-level God, God Manifestation to High God, and Dominion to Sovereign."

"Within the Heaven Phoenix legacy I received, there are cultivation techniques for the subsequent realms, but I haven’t yet penetrated them. I can only tell you roughly what the God Commencement Realm is like."

"..."

She briefly described the details of the God Commencement Realm, the form of the Spiritual Soul, and the directions for the enhancement of profundities.

Dong Tianze’s eyes lit up as if he had learned the true essence of the spells he had long yearned for, listening intently, quickly knowing what directions to enhance himself in the future.

After a long while, he exhaled deeply, saying, "I now have even greater confidence in killing Jiang Fan!"

...

Outer Starry Sky.

Hun River Demon Realm, Realm of Affection.

This is a world of the demon clan with an extremely high level of civilization, boasting ancient demon kingdoms that have stood for ten thousand years.

The Ghost Demon Clan, the Di Mo clan, the Horned Demon Clan, the Hei Mo clan, the Devil Scale Tribe, and others with different appearances all rely on Demon Element Power as their sustenance, and they can all be seen in the Realm of Affection.

In the mountains far from the hustle and bustle, the Demon Element Power floats like mist, never dissipating throughout the year.

A pretty female demon from the Ghost Demon Clan, with the same origin as the Original Demon, was picking medicinal herbs in the forest with a bare face toward the heavens and earth, like a lively spirit in the mountains.

When she twisted off a vermilion fruit called the "Seven Emotions Demon Fruit" from the tree, she unexpectedly raised her head to look towards an uninvited guest.

A handsome demon man, carrying a Black Gold Demon Sword, simply appeared before her eyes.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and a sense of familiarity inexplicably arose.

She felt that her Demon Soul could resonate with the other party, and the profound secrets hidden within her bloodline seemed to be compatible with his.

"Who are you?" Yuan Hui curiously asked.

"Like you, I am also one of His nine avatars," the Source Demon said with a smile.

"What do you mean by one of the nine avatars?" Yuan Hui frowned, not understanding the meaning in His words, and said, "Ever since I became a Demon God in this world, I have rarely left the Realm of Affection, nor have I had much contact with other Demon Gods, so I don’t quite understand what you mean."

"You really don’t know?" the Source Demon asked in surprise.

Yuan Hui shook her head.

The Source Demon stared into her eyes and, with their mutually connected Demon Souls, perceived that despite her being a Middle-level God, she didn’t have a trace of aloofness in her emotions; instead, she had deep-rooted feelings for another God Spirit.

Many of her core memories, many spells from the Original Demon Tao that originated from the beginning, had been stripped out.

The image of the God Spirit she admired became extremely vague in the Source Demon’s scrutiny, as if deliberately obscured by some force.

"Let me explain it to you, so that you can clearly become a part of my power," the Source Demon said, unwilling to probe further, directly revealing the truth to her, "There are nine existences like you and me in total; we are part of the plan. Our source— the Original Demon, He is currently in Purgatory."

"Your words..."

The Source Demon hesitated for a moment before revealing the harsh reality, "The person you love, I can’t see His appearance. You don’t know your own identity, but He does. He approached you and made you fall in love with Him, then took the Demon Tao Secret Skills from your memory that came from the Original Demon, using unusual methods."

"Including, the truth you should have known like me, was also taken by Him."

"Where is He? What is His name?"

The Source Demon inquired.

In mid-air, the Demon Element Power surged, faintly condensing into a face that was cold and indifferent.

Pang Jian, who was in Purgatory and had promised to help the Source Demon in battle, focused his attention on this event, observing the battlefield below.

Not long ago, with his assistance, the Source Demon defeated another opponent.

Now, only this demon woman was left, as well as another powerful opponent who had been aware of everything all along and had been waiting for the Source Demon.

However, an unexpected event occurred here.

"He..."

Yuan Hui opened her mouth, intending to say the name of that person but found that she couldn’t remember it at all.

It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that the person who left had been gone for a very long time and had not returned as promised, to spend the endless, long life together with her in the Realm of Affection.

She was a Demon God with an endless life, but she could no longer remember how many years she had been waiting in this world.

If the Source Demon hadn’t appeared, she would have never had any doubts, always believing that the person she had been waiting for so long would surely appear one day in the future.

Afterward, that person would never leave again.

But now, as time slipped by, she slowly forgot even the name of that person.

This shouldn’t have happened.

"The promotion of the Original Demon to Sovereign is a plan that is silently being promoted by He Motian, and it is also unanimously agreed upon by the other Great Demon Gods. The one capable of digging out her memories and making her indifferent to them must be a High God."

"Among the five High Gods, there is one who is secretly disrupting this plan, it must be so," the Source Demon said, looking up into the sky.

"Just wait a moment," the voice of Pang Jian resonated in the sky.

He used the power of the Demonic Robe to lock down the Realm of Affection, trying to find traces related to this world from the three Great Demon Gods He Motian, Fahua, and Luan Ji.

The true forms of the three Great Demon Gods, as well as their other active Demon Bodies, are not including the Realm of Affection in the current territories they inhabit.

And to investigate their past activities, he would need to strip away memories of the past, which would consume a great deal of his time and energy.

However...

With a thought of his divine intention, using robust Demon Element Power, and adding his own strength, he meticulously carved out the appearances of He Motian, Fahua, and Luan Ji.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

A multitude of Demon God images, male and female, old and young, fell from the sky all at once.

All of them appeared before Yuan Hui.

"Among them, is there the person you know?" Pang Jian asked.

"A Ji!" Yuan Hui cried, pointing to a tall and handsome demon figure, and said, "His name is A Ji, I remember now!"
