Chapter 110: I Shall Resurrect Underneath the Throne (5k)
This was the second domain Yu Ziqing had ever encountered. Only those who were asleep could enter; those awake wouldn't feel the slightest perception of being covered by it.
Compared to this, Cece's domain seemed quite normal.
Here, he could still feel his own physical body, feel the Yin God; everything seemed to be projected here except for the things he had on him, which were missing.
Before, he had never heard of the Yin Devil, not even of any other Devils besides the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon was well-known simply because it tended to trouble experts; low-tier cultivators were beneath its notice.
In mainstream opinion, the Heavenly Demon was just another Devil, only more famous, hence uniquely named.
However, Yu Ziqing knew that some top-tier experts or places like the Lihuo Institute had actually separated the Heavenly Demon from other Devils.
But this Yin Devil had never been recorded at all.
If it weren't for a Devil like Lou Huai, who understood the difficulty and defected, there might never have been anyone who knew about the Yin Devil.
This guy's targets were mostly mortals across all ages—perhaps even some low-tier cultivators who needed sleep and rest and would dream.
A slightly stronger cultivator seemed to exist in a completely different world from the Yin Devil, entirely detached.
That this guy went undetected for so long was not surprising.
Yu Ziqing floated in the air, dragging Lou Huai backward for a distance.
He saw that in that collapsing inn, those who were still asleep had vanished without a trace.
Lou Huai glanced at Yu Ziqing's line of sight and immediately said,
"Rest assured, brother, they're all fine—it's like they had a nightmare and were startled awake, but brother, you'll have to fall asleep to get out, or I'll have to take you out."
"Does it have a name?"
"That, I don't know, but according to my inheritance, a Yin Devil that has formed a seed should have a name."
Lou Huai replied and immediately looked at the Yin Devil, shouting loudly,
"I am Lou Huai, Human Devil under the Devil King's command—who are you, give me your name."
The Yin Devil rushed along the street, its vehicle-like lower body moving swiftly, while dozens of arms manipulated like spears continuously attacked Yu Ziqing and Lou Huai.
"A Human Devil with a mortal? Whose subordinate are you?
Never mind, I'll kill you now for your King's sake, sparing your King any disgrace among the other Kings."
The Yin Devil's actions were powerful and fierce. The palms accompanying its arms would explode upon impact with anything.
Yu Ziqing grabbed the gasping Lou Huai, continuously dodging, temporarily putting off the thought of attacking.
Those few sentences from the Yin Devil contained quite significant information.
Did this Devil have an organization too?
Was this Yin Devil also a member under a certain Devil King?
"Are there several Devil Kings?" Yu Ziqing asked Lou Huai next to him.
"Uh, brother, I really don't know. You know my background; within the things I inherited, there's none of this..." Lou Huai said awkwardly.
Yu Ziqing didn't trouble Lou Huai.
When a Devil takes form and emerges, it naturally knows many things—that's the information from the inheritance.
Hungry ghosts have similar things, part of which comes from Yu Ziqing, and part is innate and instinctual knowledge.
As for those like Wu Shuangge and Cece, special hungry ghosts who transitioned from ordinary ones, they would inherently know much after their transition.
But clearly, the information inherited by Devils wouldn't keep current Devil conditions and power divisions continuously updated.
What Lou Huai could know were fixed pieces of information, such as recognizing a Yin Devil, understanding the domain of a Yin Devil, and knowing how to enter and exit...
Lou Huai was touched deeply by being carried along by Yu Ziqing in their escape.
In his understanding, seeing such a Devil, his brother would reflexively open his mouth with saliva almost overflowing, eager to devour, managing to gulp it down in at most two bites.
Though the Yin Devil seemed larger, if his brother unleashed his full strength, it was likely the Yin Devil would be torn apart already.
Unfortunately, to completely sever ties with Lin Fu and smoothly escape the city, Lou Huai hadn't requested a single Demonic Qi. Clearly severed as an incarnation, there was only the body, lacking any power.
Otherwise, an Eighth Tier cultivator's incarnation trained in the Devil Dao, would come with Seventh Tier, and with seventy percent of Lin Fu's Blade Dao combat strength.
In such cases, slicing the Yin Devil into a fresh platter of sashimi wouldn't have been an issue.
"Brother, you don't have to worry about me. Even though I'm weaker now, it won't be that easy for that barbarian to take me out."
"What barbarian?"
"That kind of uncivilized Devil."
"..."
Already looking down on other Devils, the speed of this guy's transition made Yu Ziqing slightly uncomfortable.
"Keep questioning it, you get my meaning?"
Lou Huai understood in an instant; provoke and glean information.
"You old crook, dare to kill me, thwart our King's grand plans—even your King won't be able to protect you, you'll soon end up as fuel in Devil Fire!"
