A familiar feeling of weightlessness returned as Ye Yu’s soul-body floated in midair, gazing downward.
After activating the auto-training talent, his body decisively delivered a punch.
The amber-like jade instantly shattered.
Surprisingly, the life-blood didn’t fall to the ground but slowly floated in midair.
Then, a surge of overwhelming demon energy shot skyward, stirring waves of spiritual force.
Even a body at the Ascension Realm trembled twice before adapting quickly.
Ye Yu spread both hands, lifting the life-blood upward through empty space, then began circulating the Heavenly Nourishment Technique.
In the next moment, his body emitted a gentle purple glow.
Strands of demon energy radiated from his palms, fully enveloping the life-blood.
When everything completed,
his body abruptly changed gesture, finally forming an extremely complex hand seal standing before him.
This was the sixth form of the Heavenly Nourishment Technique — Blessings Bestowed by Heaven!
This form maximizes the mobilization of surrounding demon power, gathering it into the body to nourish the physique.
Seeing this, Ye Yu grew curious.
He had been in the demon world a long time. Even without ever eating pork, he had seen pigs run.
Normally, something like great demon life-blood would be swallowed outright to merge with the bloodline, right?
Why bother performing the Heavenly Nourishment Technique properly?
This question didn’t trouble Ye Yu long,
because soon the truth became clear.
After just a few breaths, the ancient great demon life-blood suddenly began violently pulsating,
as if boiling.
His body kept the Blessings Bestowed hand seal and slightly parted his mouth, as if inhaling.
In an instant, the life-blood shattered into countless extremely fine blood threads.
The brilliance was so intense the entire cave was dyed blood red.
Then the blood threads wildly surged into Ye Yu’s body.
The purple glow on his body grew ever brighter.
He returned to his original form—monkey.
At that moment, the glow abruptly stopped, replaced by a dull heartbeat gradually growing louder.
Each heartbeat made his body grow larger.
After one minute,
Ye Yu’s body had become a giant ape over twenty feet tall; the hair on his head had visibly turned white.
His feet were bright red!
A terrifying burst of demon power erupted again, and with this, Ye Yu broke through Ascension Realm on the spot, soaring into the Demon Immortal Realm.
Seeing this, Ye Yu’s soul-body felt strange.
Wait — in this dream, his true body was only a monkey demon. How did it suddenly mutate?
Could the power of a single drop of life-blood be that great?
Enough to alter his genes?
That didn’t seem right. White hair and red feet — is that even a kind of monkey demon? He had never heard of this before.
Ye Yu couldn’t figure out these questions.
What surprised him even more was that the refining process of this ancient great demon life-blood lasted a full hour.
Only after auto-training finished did it succeed.
Everything was timed perfectly.
Ye Yu returned again to his body.
At this moment, he had become an early-stage Profound Demon!
(In demon realms above Ascension, from low to high: Demon Immortal, Profound Demon, Earth Demon, Heavenly Demon, Golden Demon, Demon Lord, Demon King, Demon Emperor.)
He had leapt two major realms at once, just as demon world rumors said: if luck was good, a drop of ancient great demon life-blood could overturn fate and start your comeback life.
But compared to the realm change, Ye Yu wanted to understand the bodily transformation more!
Time passed like flowing water.
At age 28, Ye Yu had reached mid Earth Demon realm.
Only then did he finally understand what a white-haired, red-footed monkey demon was.
No — simply calling it a monkey demon was too presumptuous.
It deserved an honorific — after all, this was one of the ten fiercest monkeys in the world, the War Beast Zhu Yan!
Perhaps many now did not know this name.
But in ancient times, Zhu Yan’s name was fearsome.
Ancient texts recorded: There is a beast like an ape, white-headed and red-footed, named Zhu Yan, whose appearance means great wars!
What does “great wars” mean? Wherever he appeared, wars broke out.
He was the very symbol of war, thus called War Beast.
To understand his identity, Ye Yu spent several years carefully reading books.
At first, he knew nothing and wandered the demon world,
triggering many demon wars.
At that time, Ye Yu was annoyed, thinking demon life might be just endless fighting.
Day after ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) day, you hit me, I hit you.
Later, by studying ancient books, Ye Yu truly understood the symbolism of his white head and red feet.
The battles of the demon world all originated because of him.
Tsk, tsk — truly lamentable.
A calamity not a beauty.
Without saying a word, he stirred massive wars—Zhu Yan the War Beast indeed lived up to his name.
Afterward, Ye Yu further studied ancient great demon life-blood knowledge,
to see whether transforming from an ordinary monkey demon into Zhu Yan with a single drop would bring negative effects.
After tireless effort, Ye Yu found the answer:
His monkey demon bloodline might be impure!
Ordinary monkey demons could not bear Zhu Yan’s life-blood at all.
Though of the same species, just a little contact meant certain death.
Zhu Yan’s violent aura was simply unbearable to other demons.
Thus, the most likely explanation was that his body already carried Zhu Yan’s bloodline, though very diluted.
But after passing the heavenly tribulation,
he had successfully activated that bloodline power, which was why a tail had appeared behind him.
Afterward, refining Zhu Yan’s life-blood had become smooth.
All thanks to the power of his bloodline.
Only this explanation could clearly account for everything.
And naturally, this was the correct one.
Of course, to Ye Yu, monkey demon and Zhu Yan were one and the same.
“You call yourself a monkey demon, I’ll be Zhu Yan; we both contribute to the demon world.
Only difference is, Zhu Yan can be a lot more boundless and free!”
