<h4>Chapter 379 - Demon Incarnation</h4>


    Zhong Yue''s heart stiffened up as he thought about the meaning behind his words.


    Feng Xiaozhong continued looking at Zhong Yue with madness still rushing into his eyes. But his facial expression remained cid as he praised, "You''ve cultivated to the state of [Celestial Demon as One], you''ve killed Demon Saint and escaped from an encirclement of demon experts. Your intelligence is definitely beyond mediocre. Not only that, but you knew that the demon god would kill you after bringing such a cmity to them and thus, you even cultivated an incarnation to die in your ce while you leave underground. Such a technique, is it the 【Mystic Duplication Technique】 or the 【Psyche Ocean Flowering Heart Soul Rebirth Technique】? It should be one of the two, correct? Although Shi Tuo is attractive, in my eyes, you have more value than he does."


    Zhong Yue could have survived the demon god because he had guessed that the deaths of the eight saint n masters, magnates, and giant cultivators were a far more serious matter than the Triad Ritual - it was a great loss that would shock the whole Ancestral Star.


    If there were truly a demon god living in the Eight Barrens, then he would not be allowed to continue living, let alone leaving the demonnd alive. Hence, Zhong Yue had released his demon incarnation out while he hid underground when Shi Tuo was still there.


    That was the time when everyone''s attention was diverted toward Shi Tuo -no one was watching him. Most importantly, that demon god didn''te personally but had only struck from far, mainly to show his presence to the world so that the others wouldn''t attack the demon race.


    If that demon god personally came to the spot, he would be able to see through Zhong Yue''s demon incarnation right away.


    As for this demon incarnation, Zhong Yue couldn''t it cultivate it before as hecked a strong demonic cultivation technique. But since spending time in the Eight Barrens, he had acquired both the 【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】 and the 【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】. And after sessfully cultivating to the state of [Celestial Demon as One], he had naturally managed to refine his demon incarnation.


    However, back then, Zhong Yue was nning for his survival, and thus, he didn''t show his demon incarnation to the world.


    " 【Psyche Ocean Flowering Heart Soul Rebirth Technique】? There is such a cultivation technique?"


    Zhong Yue raised his teacup and said, "Senior martial brother, we have made a deal, tell me you are not changing your mind now, are you?"


    Feng Xiaozhong''s eyes were filled with ebullient desire as he said, "If you are willing to let me study you, I can repay you with Shi Tuo as your ve. Don''t worry, I will not take your life. I just need to dissect your mortal body and have a clearer look at the changes in your transformations, Hmm … also, your Yuan Shen needs to be checked just like your mortal body, Hmm … it also wouldn''t be good to leave out your brain as I need to look at your nervous system and the other details. Don''t worry, I''m a master at this, you won''t die if I open your head and reassemble you back together. You wouldn''t even feel any shred of difort. The ''you'' after my procedures will be exactly the same the ''you'' now."


    Zhong Yue shook his head violently, and he coughed and pushed the Demon God Contracted Puppet forward. He reminded, "Senior martial brother, your Demon God Contracted Puppet."


    Feng Xiaozhong sighed, and the madness in his eyes slowly faded away as he kept the Demon God Contracted Puppet, "Shi Tuo is strong, it will be a difficult task to capture him, but with the right preparations, it not impossible to do so. But what will I do after I''ve finished my research on Shi Tuo? Is there any other thing else that can keep me on this Ancestral Star…"


    An air of solemnity burst out from Feng Xiaozhong as he mumbled, "By then, what is there in this ce that can help me keep my sanity?"


    Zhong Yue''s scalps tingled, and he shivered, Feng Xiaozhong was a gentle schr when he was studying something, mostly when he was dissecting his research subjects. It was at times like this where he was at his most tranquil and harmless.


    However, if his inner madman were not kept in check with his passion for research, then the circumstances would be upended. Heaven knew the kind of havoc he would wreak while in his berserk state. No one could ever foresee how many people he would wipe off the face of this.


    Most importantly, a madman whose sanity was lost woulde after Zhong Yue, and he wouldn''t be so polite the next time he asked to dissect him.


    After he finished studying Shi Tuo''s spirit, Feng Xiaozhong would turn into the most crazed and terrifying existence. In his state of madness, he might just disregard his oath of not hurting a single human ande for me…


    Zhong Yue''s heart froze at the thought, and he quickly put up a smile and said, "Senior martial brother, there is more than what we can ever know in this universe. There ares home to countless other lives, obscure principles that govern the universe, and a myriad of other mysteries unknown to those that tether themselves to this small world. The universe is beyond imagination, so why don''t you step out of the boundaries of the Ancestral Star and explore those secrets for yourself?"


    Feng Xiaozhong shook his head, "If I ascend to the level of the deityhood and became a god, I might just leave the Ancestral Star. But the universe is too big, without teleportation portals, it is nearly impossible to reach to the others."


    Zhong Yue winked his eyes, and he said, "I''ve heard that there is in fact, a teleportation array formation on the Fire Celestial Star, you can reach to the others from there."


    Feng Xiaozhong''s eyes then lit up, and he raised his head and gazed at the endless sky, mumbling, "I know that there are mysteries that I cannot begin to fathom out there,ws I''ve yet to discover, and species that I''ve yet to study…"


    “That’s right.”


    Zhong Yue nodded heavily, and he continued, "Why don''t senior martial brother head over to the Fire Celestial Star and check it out?"


    "I will when my research on Shi Tuo is done."


    Feng Xiaozhong stood up, and he took the Demon God Contracted Puppet with him and said cidly, "However, before this, there are many preparations I have to do. After all, Shi Tuo is not an easy target … Hmm, also, I''ve heard that 50000 years ago, there is also a demon lord in the demon race, one that stood on par with Lord Xia. If only I can find his tomb and use the seals in it to capture Shi Tuo while I bring this demon lord''s corpse out along…"


    Zhong Yue watched as Feng Xiaozhong left, and he heaved a breath of relief and mumbled in a low voice only he could hear, "The teleportation array formation on the Fire Celestial Star is just a lie. If he were to find there is no such thing…"


    "Who says there isn''t one? There is, in fact, a teleportation portal in the Fire Celestial Star." Xin Huo suddenly said.


    Zhong Yue was startled, and he eximed, "There really is one?"


    "Of course, and not just any little teleportation portal but a gctic-level teleportation portal. It is moremonly known as the Gctic Portal."


    Xin Huo continued saying, "The universe is vast, even light itself needs millions of years to travel from one end to the other. Without the teleportation portal, how would the godsmunicate and interact with each other? However, it has been a long time, and even I can''t say for sure if the teleportation portal on the Fire Celestial Star is still operational."


    Zhong Yue was still stunned at how urate his baseless lies actually were.


    The sea monster then came back and was docile under Zhong Yue''smand, "I''ll stay for a few days, do not interrupt unless it''s an emergency. Otherwise, carry out your duties as usual."


    The sea monster received his orders and left.


    Zhong Yue stayed on the ind for nearly a week, the death of his demon incarnation was the key to his survival. Hence, he was now going to cultivate another demon incarnation.


    The Eight Barrens were now in a state of chaos, the eight saint ns are embroiled in turmoil, and the other factions are taking advantage of the opportunity to rise. How can I miss such an exciting time?


    Zhong Yue used up the leftover medicinal efficacy of the lotus saint herb to cultivate a new demonic inner core. This time, he was fairly familiar with the procedure, and so the process went smoothly.


    Furthermore, his demon cultivation technique was stronger than before. Back then, when he just arrived at the demonnd, he had cultivated the iplete 【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】 that was taught to him by Tian Mo Concubine. But now, the same 【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】 he cultivated was better than back then, and his attainments in it were stronger inparison. This was also not to mention the 【Great Sun Heavenly Demon Art】 he acquiredter on.


    Most importantly, he had created the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】, achieved the state of [Celestial Demon as One], and had poured many of his insights into his demon incarnation.


    He was preparing his demon incarnation to the fullest, intending to make him a figure no inferior to the dragon Long Yue. He was to be one of the demon leaders in the future.


    …


    Six dayster, a demon Qi Practitioner stood beside Zhong Yue, looking at the demonnd from the lone ind in the Eastern Sea.


    This Qi Practitioner had the handsomeness of the Asura Saint n, the stature of the Raksha Saint n, the physique of the Yan Mo Saint n, the pointed ears of the Ji Xiang Saint n, the bones of the Yaksha Saint n, the bellicose air of the Yama Saint n, the thick killing intent of the Shura Saint n, andstly, the immense strength of the Tian Xiang Saint n.


    In the eyes of the demon race, he appeared to be the perfect embodiment of a demon - wless and possessing the advantages of each individual race.


    "Senior martial brother, this name, ‘Mo Luo'' has a terrible reputation. It''s unusable in the demon race anymore, isn''t it?"


    The demon Qi Practitioner frowned and said, “If I continue using the name of Mo Luo, I’ll definitely be chased by the demon race till the end of the world.”


    Zhong Yue mulled, and he suddenlyughed, "If not Mo Luo, then why not you use this name? From now on, this is your name, and you will take care of the demon issues for me in my stead."


    The demon Qi Practitioner, who was now an Inner Core Qi Practitioner, was undoubtedly Zhong Yue''s demon incarnation. A light wheel emerged behind him, and he smiled, "This name? Then in the future, this name shall be known to the whole world."


    Zhong Yue took out the Demonic Spirit Waters he had and gave half of it to his demon incarnation. He thought for a few seconds before also taking out the emerald leaf and passing it to his demon incarnation.


    The demon incarnation kept the Demonic Spirit Waters along with the emerald leaf and then flew away toward the demonnd.


    He entered the demonnd and journeyed the Eight Barrens to begin his legacy in the demon race.


    ***


    One day, he arrived at the Fiend Capital, surrounded by the demondies as they looked at him affectionately. All of a sudden, one of the demondies smiled and softly said, "Such a handsome boy is quite rare nowadays. My heart nearly fell for him. I wonder who he is…"


    “I am Bo Xun.”


    Zhong Yue’s demon incarnation smiled gently and said, “Mister Bo Xun, as for my background…”


    “Bo Xun? Who is Bo Xun?”


    All of a sudden, ady''s voice came rushing into their ears, Zhong Yue looked over and saw Tian Mo Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the otherdies swarming over. They saw him and was stunned for a split second. Tian Mo Concubine was shocked and happy while she then let out a joyful shout and rushed over to hug him, hopping whileughing.


    "What are you lot looking at!"


    Ji Xiang Concubine and the otherdies dispersed the crowd, one of the courtdies said, “Don’t you see our imperial concubine is looking for a man? Why aren’t you all leaving yet? Are you trying to fight with the imperial concubine?”


    The demondies around then dispersed away, with one of them curling her lips and saying, "How dare you? When one day I am strong enough, I will snatch this Mister Bo Xun back, you b*tches."


    “You’re back.”


    Tian Mo Concubine let out her joy then she chuckled and said, "Even if you turn to ash, I will still be able to recognize you. Mister Bo Xun, you are really daring even toe back."


    Bo Xun smiled and answered, "Indeed, I am back."


    He came back at a time when there was a power vacuum in the Eight Barrens. There were no clear leaders, and the young heroes were still growing into their own. The eight grand ancestors had been revived, the Demon Queen was cooperating with Feng Wuji, and the factions were slowly on the rise. The stage was now set, and it wasn''t long before the true storm just beyond the horizon would soon sweep through the demon race.


    ***


    Meanwhile, Zhong Yue had trodden across the Eastern Sea toward Swords Gate. At the same time, in the monster Gu Xia City, the city lord, Long Yue stood up and left for the South Barren.


    The time hade, and Long Yue of the fabled Twin Yue''s had moved to the South Barren first, his arrival trembling the world.


    Zhong Yue of the Great Wilderness and Long Yue of the East Barren, they were finally about to have their fated battle in the South Barren.
