Chapter 1869: Ancient Demon Corpses

*Tap... Tap...*

Ling Yun’s clone and the female immortals descended the ancient stone stairs. On the wall to their right, they could see numerous murals depicting the ancient demon races that once inhabited the realm.

Although the place had long been buried underground, Ling Yun could see the murals remained intact, as if naturally preserved.

Shen Ying and the other female immortals explained to Ling Yun about the Ancient Era, which was the era when the ancient demons lived.

Even without listening to them, Ling Yun could guess the Ancient Era was truly chaotic, but the situation changed with the appearance of the Zhizun Clan. Zhizun Buxiu’s ancestors led their clan members and other cultivators in the war against those demons, and righteousness ultimately defeated evil.

Although the Zhizun Clan and the righteous cultivators won the war, many of their important members died in the war, and the clan declined afterwards.

After the defeat of the ancient demons and the end of the Ancient Era, Xie Zuzhou was born. However, he was not born as a demon but a devil, and he was much crueler than the demons.

After building his strength and troops, Xie Zuzhou led his subordinates to fight against the other races.

At the same time, Zhizun Buxiu was born in the Zhizun Clan, and his birth brought about changes in the clan.

In the end, Zhizun Buxiu and Xie Zuzhou became rivals, and they attacked each other for different goals. One fought for righteousness, the other for evil.

Their battle lasted for a long time, but in the end, there was no victor.

After their fight lasted so long and there was no winner, Zhizun Buxiu and Xie Zuzhou both decided to withdraw.

Zhizun Buxiu brought members of the Zhizun Clan to live in their current domain, and Xie Zuzhou brought his subordinates to live in the demon domain, which was better known as the Ancient Devil Domain by the cultivators of the current era.

As time passed, the members of the Zhizun Clan experienced decline once again, and their strength could not be compared to their past members.

Fortunately, they had Zhizun Buxiu, who continued to strive hard to protect them from Xie Zuzhou and his demon race.

On the contrary, Xie Zuzhou and his devil race made great progress, and their name was feared by all cultivators in the Supreme Realm.

If not for Zhizun Buxiu’s existence, they would have long since taken over the entire domain in that realm.

"Look." Ling Yun stopped walking and looked at the five demon images that Ai Qing was pointing at. "They were the past leaders of the five extinct ancient demon races, and they died at the hands of the ancestors of the Zhizhu Clan."

Shen Ying spoke. "In the past, the Ancient Calamity Demon Race was the strongest among the five, and their abilities were truly troublesome. The Zhizun Clan even lost many of their members when they fought against that demon race, but they succeeded in exterminating that race in the end."

"The Ancient Abyss Demon Race is the second strongest, and you will understand why they are so powerful if your daughter manages to bring that race back into this universe." Fen Hongyi said.

Ling Yun nodded slightly; his right hand brushed against the murals. "You guys might be worried that they’ll cause chaos if they come back to life, but I’m not the least bit worried about them."

"Phew!" Mu Xianyu exhaled softly. "Actually, we’re not worried about them, and we can defeat them if we want. However, Chaos forbids us from attacking them, and he wants other living creatures to stop them with their own power."

"If it weren’t for that, we would have already killed these demons, and the Ancient Era might never end." Mai Lingyi chimed in.

"Yeah."

They didn’t linger there for long and continued down the stairs.

After some time, they arrived at the bottom of the place, where Ling Yun saw the corpses of five giant demons lying on five stone structures.

"Are you surprised?"

"A little." Ling Yun nodded to Shen Ying. "How can their corpses still be perfectly intact after they’ve been dead for so long?"

"We suspect it was Chaos’s doing, but we don’t know the reason behind it."

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow for a moment, but Chaos did have the ability to preserve the five demon corpses. Just as he was about to step forward, the place suddenly shook quite strongly, and five demon souls appeared in front of them.

Fen Hongyi and the others immediately moved in front of Ling Yun and prepared to attack the five demon souls, but he stopped them and walked past them.

Ling Yun looked at them one by one. "These are your soul remnants, right?"

"Yes." The Ancient Calamity Demon nodded. "We have been waiting for your arrival for a long time, the Primordial Chaos Dragon’s heir."

Ling Yun frowned. "How did you know about me?"

"Your aura." The Ancient Abyss Demon pointed at him. "Even though we have long been dead, we could never forget his aura, and we felt his aura from your body."

"Are you curious why we were waiting for you?" The Ancient Asura Demon asked.

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "Tell me."

"Hmm." The Ancient Star-Devouring Demon gazed at him. "A young man came to us after our deaths; he preserved our corpses and left a fragment of our souls within them."

"Hmm?" Ling Yun and the female immortals were shocked to hear that.

The Ancient Blood Demon spoke. "He told us that you would come here one day in the future, and we would be your power to bring change to our universe."

"A young man." Ling Yun created a qi screen, showing a picture of Tang Xiao there. "Is he the one?"

"Yes!" The five ancient demons answered simultaneously.

Shen Ying and the others exchanged glances, not expecting that Tang Xiao would do such a thing.

"Even though these are just our soul remnants, they contain some of our past strength."

"Besides our past strength, our soul remnants also have all our memories."

The Ancient Asura Demon looked at Ling Yun. "Can you tell me your main purpose for coming here?"

"Honestly, I didn’t know Tang Xiao did all that, so I was surprised by the presence of the soul remnants of the five of you." Ling Yun pointed to their corpses. "Your corpses are my main purpose for coming here today."

"Our corpses?"

Ling Yun nodded. "My daughter has a big dream, and she is struggling to create her device. If she succeeds in creating it, she will bring your five races back to this universe."

The five ancient demons were baffled after hearing that. After all, all members of their races became extinct long ago, so they couldn’t possibly exist anymore.

"I can’t explain the details to the five of you, but—" Ling Yun paused and looked at them one by one. "But I believe that my daughter will succeed in doing so, and your five races will return to this universe."

"How can you be sure of that?"

"I’ll show you a few things." Ling Yun opened the portal to his Yin-Yang Chamber.

A short while later, Hua Ning and Hua Yue emerged from within the Yin-Yang Chamber, leaving the five ancient demons gasping in shock. Although they had been dead for a long time, they could sense a familiar aura from the two women.

Ling Yun looked at Hua Ning and Hua Yue. "Transform into your beast forms."

Hua Ning was the first to do so, and she transformed into a dark phoenix of considerable size.

Hua Yue followed her mother by transforming into a leviathan-dragon. Her size was not as large as her original form, as the place could not accommodate her gigantic body.

"This." The five ancient demons were shocked after their suspicions were proven. The dark phoenix and leviathan-dragon races were extinct long ago, and it was the Long Hun who wiped them out, but two of them stood before them now.

Ling Yun spoke to them again. "They used to be ordinary people, and they were born without cultivation veins. That’s why I used the technique to turn them into demons, but I didn’t expect they would turn into extinct beast races: the dark phoenix and leviathan-dragon races. Since I can do it, I believe my daughter can also bring your five races back to this universe in the future."

"Why do you want to bring our five races back to this universe? Aren’t you afraid that they might bring trouble for you?"

"Hahaha," Ling Yun laughed. "Since you already know I’m the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, you shouldn’t need to ask that, right? Right now, I’m still an ordinary human, but I will evolve into the Primordial Chaos Dragon in the future, and I’m confident in my ability to stop them."

"We—"

"Alright, I don’t have much time to talk nonsense with you guys; otherwise, those devils will notice our presence, which will bring us trouble." Ling Yun moved quickly, touched the five demon corpses, injected his aura into them, and sent them to his soul world.

Ling Yun’s action caused the five remnant souls of the five ancient demons to disappear, but they didn’t truly disappear; they remained in his soul world alongside their corpses.

Ling Yun looked at Hua Yue and Hua Ning, who immediately returned to their human forms. After that, he looked at Shen Ying and the others. "Enter my Yin-Yang Chamber now, and we will return to my residence."

After they had all gone inside, Ling Yun followed them and closed the portal.

*Swoosh*

Chaos suddenly appeared in the place; he explored around before waving his hand. In an instant, five demon corpses appeared on five stone structures, and he disappeared afterwards.
