The Ancestor of All Demons

Master Red Arm looked at the churning viscous waves in the Blood Lake below, and felt his scalp tingle.

He originally was a loose cultivator from overseas and had considered going to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to join Shi Feiyang. However, he heard that several of his old rivals had joined early, and he worried Shi Feiyang wouldn't accept him and his rivals would take revenge. He feared that instead of seeking an opportunity to cross tribulation, he would end up losing his life at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain.

Excelling in Gathering And Replenishing, his mana was formidable. This time, he came to the Star Constellations Sea to join the Blood God Monarch, hoping to become a "Minister of Dragon." Once the Demon Realm was established, he might also receive some fiefdom. Unexpectedly, he had to walk through the Blood Pool.

Now the four gates of the Blood Demon Altar City were sealed. To see Deng Yin's stance, it was impossible not to enter, but he truly dared not.

This fellow turned around and said to one of his disciples, "The Blood God Monarch wants to refine our bodies and condense our Primordial Spirits. Such a good fortune, let you take it first for your master. Go down!"

Not allowing the disciple to resist, he stretched out his hand, grabbed in the air, and five red lights tightened on the disciple, like a Demon Claw catching the disciple, and threw him into the Blood Pool.

This time, he brought his entire household to the Star Constellations Sea, including two wives, sixteen concubines, and over fifty disciples. The one he threw down was his most favored disciple.

Once the disciple entered the Blood Pool, not even a bubble rose to the surface before he sank to the bottom.

Everyone stared intently at the Blood Pool, waiting for what would happen next.

Previously, Master Xiao Yue entered to reshape his flesh. After all, he was a Primordial Spirit Body. This time it was a living person being thrown in. They wondered if the outcome would be the same.

The "Blood God Scripture," ever since the "Good Volume" was cut into the Hua Bi Pearl by Master Chang Mei, and everyone fought over the "Evil Book," finally fell into Deng Yin's hands, over a thousand years ago. Later, Deng Yin roamed the world until he was sealed by Master Chang Mei at the Star Constellation Sea Floor, more than four hundred years ago.

The vast majority have only heard the name of this Demon Cult Holy Scripture, rumored to be extremely powerful, but few knew its reality. Everyone came to find Deng Yin this time because the great tribulation was approaching. They came with a mindset of trial and error and realized they boarded a pirate ship.

They came in good health, but there's no going back now!

The person in the Blood Pool began to struggle wildly, the surrounding blood corroding his flesh, rapidly dissolving his hair, skin, muscles, and internal organs into blood.

At first, he still cast spells with all his might, releasing two Flying Forks, a Demon Blade, and three Demon Flags for defense, trying to fly out of the pool in unity with the sword.

As the head disciple of Master Red Arm, his mana was not weak, yet now in the Blood Pool, the Sword and Fork Demon Banners slashed a few times in the blood but were quickly melted and disappeared. All spells were nullified by the blood.

He released a summoned demon head, but it was restricted by the blood and taken away. He couldn't summon it back again.

The surface was calm, but beneath the water, he struggled fiercely. In about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, his whole body turned into blood until even the skeleton dissolved, leaving only his Lifebound Demon.

After a while, the Lifebound Demon began to grow, relying on the Primordial Spirit Body to develop into a Divine Demon Body, effectively undergoing a rebirth.

Finally, he floated upward, flying out of the water, hovering above the Blood Pool as a bloody shadow.

Deng Yin said, "Very good. From now on, you are among my Blood Demon Army."

The man shook his body, restored to his human form, turned to look at Master Red Arm with a gaze containing venom and a hint of pride, knelt before Deng Yin, "I will surely follow the orders of the Blood Demon Emperor!"

Deng Yin nodded, letting him stand aside. With a wave of his hand, four more blood shadows emerged from the Blood Pool, those being the demon heads this man refined.

In life, they were girls from good families, captured by this man, then killed when he tired of them, and their original spirits seized and refined into Demons.

Now, they were also reborn in the Blood Pool. The prohibitions on their original spirits had been dissolved, and with new bodies, they transformed into four beautiful young girls, knelt before Deng Yin, sobbing, "Thank you, Master, for granting new life. We are willing to serve you to death!"

Deng Yin laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! From now on, you are all under my command. Together we shall establish our grand Demon Path, and someday this land will be ours!"

With a precedent set, others couldn't delay. Some were eager, while others dragged their feet, but ultimately all had to experience a journey through the Blood Pool.

Those with experience removed their Magical Treasures and sealed their refined Demons before entering.

Once they regained their bodies in the Blood Pool, they retrieved these items. Deng Yin did not interfere.

Deng Yin's Blood Pool and the Giant Wood God's True Yang Jade Liquid Pool both have the function of reshaping flesh.

However, the Giant Wood God's pool reshapes all beings into human forms, whether demon or ghost, coming out as humans.

Deng Yin's pool creates demon forms; whether human or ghost, upon emerging, they turn into Divine Demons.

Even if a common wandering soul, an ordinary mortal who knows nothing, enters, they can become a Blood God's son, automatically possessing Heavenly Vision, Divine Hearing, Telepathy, Destiny Communication, and Divine Feet Power, capable of flying and traversing the earth effortlessly. However, the divine abilities vary in size, and the mana varies in strength; some Heavenly Vision can see ten miles, others can see a hundred.

The spells they cultivated in life that match will all be retained, but those who cultivated Righteous Path Immortal Law will no longer be able to use them.

Some have cultivated into Nascent Soul, reaching the level of Earth Immortal, but after entering the Blood Pool, their Nascent Soul melts, all turning into Lifebound Demons.

It is said that among them is a Mahayana Venerable named Sikong Zhan.

Sikong Zhan originally went to Taishan to seek refuge with the Giant Wood God. He was timid yet stubborn, thinking that with his status and divine power, at least he could directly become a protector beside the Giant Wood God.

Even if he can't match Lu Yu and Ji Nan, he should at least be the third one, right?

Not only did he originally possess Sect Leader Level mana, after following Chi You, he became even more brave and diligent, holding himself in high regard.

However, the Giant Wood God did not look at him differently; those who can make the Giant Wood God look differently must be at least at the Heavenly Immortal level. Although Lu Yu hasn't reached Pure Yang, her mana already rivals several Heavenly Immortals. Ji Nan was almost at Pure Yang back then, but due to Sha Hongyan, he reverted from Yang to Yin, yet his mana still matches Lu Yu.

Sikong Zhan's mana compared to these two is simply not at the same level, and his Primordial Spirit is far from Pure Yang, more Yin than Yang. As a Golden Immortal level master, how could the Giant Wood God particularly care about him!

At first, Sikong Zhan was unconvinced, wanting to directly fly to the top of Taishan, but he was smashed down by a ten-thousand-foot giant wood conjured by the Giant Wood God in mid-air.

More defiant, he cast spells to blast the wood, intending to show the Giant Wood God his level, but the Thunder Pearl was taken by the Giant Wood God, and the two Magical Treasures he released afterward were taken away from afar.

Then the Giant Wood God released five more giant woods from the top of Taishan to smash down. Sikong Zhan still used his original method to blast them, unaware that the five giant woods contained Five Elements circulation changes. His Five Fire Divine Thunder was ineffective, instead being pressed down in a valley at the foot of Taishan for seven days and nights before being released.

Sikong Zhan was both ashamed and furious, no longer going to Taishan, turning instead to the West to seek refuge with Deng Yin.

After all the humiliation faced from the Giant Wood God, he still hoped to rely on Deng Yin, become a Guardian Elder, and someday follow Deng Yin to slaughter his way to Taishan and cleanse the Divine Wood Palace in revenge.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yin didn't particularly care about him either; no matter who it is, none can avoid going through the Blood Pool.

If it weren't for the Demon Path top experts guarding the four gates of the Altar City, he would certainly have killed his way out directly!

With no choice, he had to unload all his Magical Treasures and demons. His wives, concubines, and disciples had long been eradicated cleanly by Jiang Xuejun, leaving him solitary. With no one to entrust his Magical Treasures and demons to, he figured no one here would dare take them, thus entering the Blood Pool.

The process of dissolving one's flesh, viscera, and bones is extremely painful, though it lasts only the time of one or two cups of tea, it feels like an eternity for the person involved.

Sikong Zhan, holding a grudge, finally endured, obtained a new Blood God Avatar and flew out of the Blood Pool, returning to the poolside to find his Magical Treasures and demons, suddenly discovering his Lie Que's Double Hooks missing!

The Double Hooks are treasures left by the ancient immortal Lie Que, ancient exotic treasures cherished dearly for years, the foundation of his life, absolutely should not be lost!

He looked around, seeing the poolside crowded with heads, some were blood shadows, others had reverted to normal human form, some were looking towards Deng Yin on the Dharma Platform, others were chatting with friends and family.

Everyone seemed like a treasure thief, yet none seemed like one!

Sikong Zhan was furious, thinking: You little thief, you truly have the guts of a bear and a leopard, dared steal my thing. Steal something else, perhaps, but those Double Hooks are linked to my spirit, how could you steal them away!

He promptly formed a seal and concentrated, connecting with the Double Hooks, then sprayed a mouthful of True Qi and lightly shouted: "Hooks come!"

In front of Deng Yin's Dharma Platform, a person suddenly erupted with blue and green hook-shaped light, one rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise, instantly tearing the person's body into several pieces!

In the past, if someone were shredded by the Double Hooks, their physical body would be destroyed, with the Primordial Spirit also damaged.

Coincidentally, having just entered the Blood Pool's transformation, gaining a Blood Demon Incarnation, already became a Divine Demon type. After being shredded, rather than bursting, it formed a ball of bloody light that trapped the Double Hooks, then restored to human form, firmly wrapping the Double Hooks with a Magical Treasure.

People nearby shouted abuse too: "Rascal! Stop immediately!"

Sikong Zhan was angry that these people were helping the other person curse him, yelling: "You little thief, dared steal my Treasure Hook; you truly have a death wish!"

Thinking that in saying this, the spectators would understand what's happening and would stand by his side, or at least stay neutral.

Who knew these people cursed even more harshly: "You are the thief! Do you know who he is? You dare insult Red-Handed Venerable! You are the one with a death wish!"
