# Chapter 752: Ancient Demonic Art
"Then what happened afterwards? Where did the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel go?" Yun Che asked.
Mo Li slowly shook her head: "I don't know. The Evil God was the last god to fall. He might have known the final whereabouts of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel. But the memory fragments he left behind contain no mention of them at all. Perhaps, at the very end of his life, he hid them away... hid them in a place where later generations could never find them, to prevent these two roots of the gods' extinction from once again bringing disaster upon the entire Chaos Space."
"But, the Primordial Azure Dragon said his daughter was sealed inside the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. What's that about? And he also asked me to try my best to find the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword." Yun Che frowned, recalling what the Dragon God had said to him back in the Death Wasteland... it could even be called a request.
"How would I know?" Mo Li slightly pursed her lips: "In the memories I inherited, as well as the records about the ancient divine race, there are very few mentions of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. As for you finding it... Hmph, as I see it, it's simply nonsense."
"From the extinction of the gods until now, not much time has passed—only a mere million years. In this million years, countless living beings and races have never given up searching for the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. Because even though the gods perished, the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword couldn't have disappeared... there simply isn't anything in this world that could destroy it. But, for an entire million years, no one has ever found any trace of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword—not a single shred."
"Even to this day, countless people are still trying to find the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. And anyone who knows the name 'Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword' wants to obtain it. As for the matter of the Dragon God's daughter being sealed inside it, I've never heard any similar rumors before. Perhaps you and I are the only two people in this world who know about this... though it's completely meaningless."
"Then... what about the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel?" Yun Che asked.
"That supreme weapon of ultimate evil, though it possesses earth-shattering power and, like the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword, cannot be destroyed or disappear, no one would try to seek it. Hmph, forget spending effort to search for it—even if it suddenly appeared before someone, they would avoid it like the plague. Because using its power would first send oneself into an abyss of eternal doom!"
Mo Li's voice was somewhat icy and grim, perhaps due to the influence of some inherited memories, giving her a strong aversion and fear toward the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel: "And in the million years since the divine race's destruction, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel has completely vanished, never appearing. But it must be hidden in some corner of the Chaos. And after a million years... the power that slumbered after it destroyed the gods back then must have already awakened anew."
"What about the third-ranked Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal? Has it also not been found in the entire million years?" Yun Che asked somewhat urgently. The Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal... was the only method he currently knew of that could save Xiao Yaohou.
"Of course!" Mo Li answered without the slightest hesitation: "Among the scant fragmentary records about the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal, it is mentioned that it originally belonged to the only female among the three Creation Gods—'Li Suo'. With the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal on her, barring accidents, she would have eternal life—even to this day, she would not have perished or aged. However, during the fierce war between gods and demons, she fell under the encirclement of several demon lords, and the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal fell into the hands of the demon race. The divine race, until the very end—until the demons unleashed the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel—was never able to retrieve the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal."
"Therefore, the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal should have drifted into some unknown corner of the Chaos with the fall of the demon race. In these million years, the number of people attempting to obtain the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal is certainly no less than those who want the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. Because obtaining the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword grants matchless power, but obtaining the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal, as long as one isn't killed, grants eternal life."
"And if one were to obtain both..." Mo Li's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then one would truly become the eternal master of Chaos."
"However, as I said, it's also possible that the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal has already been found. After all, to obtain its eternal power, one only needs to wear it on one's person. Hiding it is far too easy, and whoever obtains it would do their utmost to conceal it, never letting anyone know of its existence... not even their closest kin."
Yun Che was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "But what does any of this have to do with Fen Juechen's situation!?"
"Of course it does!" Mo Li glanced at him sideways, her expression turning solemn and grave: "The profound art he uses is called 'Eternal Night Illusion Demon Scripture'. That is clearly... an ancient demon clan's demonic art!"
"Ancient... demon clan?" Yun Che's heart jolted: "Hasn't the ancient demon clan already been wiped out?"
"That is precisely the reason for my shock when Fen Juechen released his source power after being provoked by you." Mo Li furrowed her brows.
Yun Che's brow twitched as he probed: "Could it be... that he received some inheritance from the ancient demon clan? Back then, since the gods could leave behind inheritances of souls and blood, demons and gods existed on the same level, so they should also be able to leave behind inheritances, right?"
"No!" Mo Li shook her head: "Although demons and gods both possess power at the divine level, the attributes of their souls and source power are different—even contradictory! Before the gods perished, unwilling to simply vanish, they transformed their last power and souls into spirit forms, which guarded their final divine blood and will, thereby passing on their bloodline and power as a meager continuation of their existence in the chaos world. These remaining spirit forms and divine blood, due to their high power level, are extremely difficult to be naturally obliterated, and are even somewhat favored and protected by the world's natural energies."
"But demons are completely different! The power attributes of demons contradict pure natural energies, and most demons even fear light. Even if a demon were to leave behind a spirit form or demonic blood inheritance, it would quickly dissipate due to the rejection of natural energies. Forget a million years—even lasting a few thousand years is extremely difficult. After the end of the era of gods and demons, many divine inheritances were found and gave rise to the new 'realm of the gods'. As for demonic inheritances, in the initial period after the fall of gods and demons, they did indeed appear. But none lasted more than a few dozen generations before being completely purified by the power of heaven and earth. Within a mere thirty thousand years, demonic inheritances had completely vanished, and in the nearly million years since, they have never reappeared."
Yun Che: "..."
"Now, the power of ancient demons, which has disappeared for a million years and is almost forgotten even by the realm of the gods, has appeared in a human from this low-level plane. That is extremely abnormal." Mo Li's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Her understanding of gods and demons, and her grasp of ancient races and powers, far surpassed Yun Che's. The shock caused by the Dark Profound Force on Fen Juechen was something Yun Che simply could not comprehend.
"Since the power of ancient demons has disappeared for so long, how could you recognize it?" Yun Che thought for a moment and asked.
Without changing her expression, Mo Li said: "When I inherited the power on my body, I also inherited a portion of the memory fragments of some ancient god. And these memories happen to contain the kind of Dark Profound Force—or rather, dark demonic art—that Fen Juechen uses. So when he was circulating it, I recognized it at once. This demonic art is called the 'Eternal Night Illusion Demon Scripture', a demonic art of a high-level demon clan from ancient times—the 'Eternal Night Demon Clan'. To use this demonic art, one must possess the corresponding demonic blood or demonic soul... just as your 'Phoenix Ode Scripture' requires Phoenix blood as a catalyst to activate."
"That means Fen Juechen, who possesses the Eternal Night Illusion Demon Scripture, also carries the demonic blood or demonic soul of the Eternal Night Demon Clan!"
"Demonic blood or demonic soul that hasn't faded away in an entire million years!"
"This..." The more Yun Che listened, the more bizarre it seemed. He even felt that this was beyond what someone at his level could comprehend. The earth-shattering changes in Fen Juechen over just a few years must have an extremely unusual reason behind them... he never imagined it would be this unusual.
Just hearing Mo Li's description made his head spin.
Recalling Mo Li's earlier reaction, Yun Che thought while asking: "Since you already went to read Fen Juechen's memories, you should have a rough idea of how his power came about, right?"
"I do know now, and it's far more interesting than any way I could have imagined." Mo Li's face was expressionless and cold: "His demonic art and power come from... his father."
"Father?" Yun Che's eyes widened in disbelief: "Impossible! I killed his father Fen Duanhun with my own hands. He can't still be alive. Even if he really didn't die, Fen Duanhun's profound strength was only at the Heavenly Xuan Realm. No matter how..."
"I never said the 'his father' I referred to was Fen Duanhun!" Mo Li's expression was quite sardonic.
"..." Yun Che's expression immediately turned strange, and he murmured: "You mean, Fen Juechen is not Fen Duanhun's son? Did Fen Duanhun get cuckolded?"
"Fen Duanhun is indeed Fen Juechen's biological father. But Fen Juechen also has another father... who is also his biological father."
Yun Che: "~!@#$%^...*" (Completely dumbfounded)
"Two men... can also... have offspring?" Yun Che's voice trembled a little, and his throat gave a hard "gulp."
