V2c3: Yuehua’s Madness, Ye Kai’s Suffering.
After Wanwan opened the entrance to the Demon Realm, Ye Kai frantically fled inside.
More accurately, he fled to the border between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm.
This area was mostly inhabited by Demonic Cultivators and rogue cultivators with eccentric personalities.
At this moment, Ye Kai’s face was still etched with the terror of escaping Yuehua. His legs were twisted into pretzels, and he could only move forward by relying on Demonic Energy.
Even so, every step he took sent a piercing pain through his feet.
He left a long trail of blood wherever he went.
“Crazy woman, Yuehua is truly a madwoman.”
Ye Kai deeply regretted not understanding Yuehua’s nature thoroughly back then.
Now, after not even a few days of pleasure, both his legs and one hand were twisted into pretzels, and his other hand had been torn off.
Fortunately, he was no ordinary person and could recover by absorbing the Cultivation Level of other cultivators.
Wanwan mocked, “This has nothing to do with whether you killed Yuehua or not. You brought this upon yourself. Not only did you reveal so many truths to her, intensifying her Obsession and hatred, but you also captured female disciples from Azure Bamboo Peak and put on all sorts of lewd performances before torturing them to death.”
“Even if you killed her afterward, her Obsession would merge with the Demon Seed in her corpse and turn her into a demon.”
“Ultimately, you deserve it all.”
Ye Kai’s face was extremely grim. Despite the resentment in his heart, he didn’t dare to retort to Wanwan.
He could only plaster on a smile and say, “Wanwan, I know I was wrong.”
Having forcibly opened the passage to the Demon Realm, Wanwan was also a bit tired. “Figure out how to heal yourself. I need to rest for a while; don’t disturb me.”
After Wanwan fell asleep, Ye Kai spent the next few days capturing passing cultivators to heal his injuries.
He also reattached his arm. Just as his injuries were starting to heal, he began looking for female cultivators to reward himself again.
However, Yuehua had no intention of letting him go.
Wanwan sensed Yuehua’s presence drawing nearer and immediately woke up.
She wanted to warn Ye Kai, but then she heard ‘unspeakable’ sounds.
Wanwan was so exasperated that she almost laughed. “I think you’re tired of living. To be thinking of pleasure at a time like this! Your Master will be here with a sword in hand in no time.”
Ye Kai, who was in the midst of his pleasure, snapped out of his desires and gradually regained clarity when he heard Wanwan’s words.
He drained the female cultivator under him in one go and, with a tense and fearful expression, asked, “How did that madwoman find me?”
This was the border between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, separated from the middle realm by two layers of world barriers.
Besides, he hadn’t seen Yuehua plant any tracking spells on him.
“You are her greatest Obsession now. A large part of the reason she became a demon was because of you. What’s so strange about her finding you?”
As soon as Wanwan finished speaking, screams erupted from all around. These were the final cries of Demonic Cultivators killed by Yuehua as she casually dealt with them on her way to find Ye Kai.
“Damn it, she’s here so quickly.”
Seeing the approaching figure in the distance, Ye Kai was intercepted by Yuehua before he could even escape.
“You deserve to die!”
Yuehua’s voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
The Demonic Energy surrounding her was even stronger than before.
“What should we do, Wanwan?”
Looking at Yuehua now, Ye Kai’s legs trembled involuntarily.
The horrific experience from the previous period was still vivid in his mind.
He was truly terrified of this demonized Yuehua.
Wanwan replied irritably, “What else can we do? Get beaten up again, of course.”
Ye Kai anxiously asked, “Can’t you just send me directly into the Demon Realm?”
He refused to believe that with so many Demonic Cultivators and true demons in the Demon Realm, there wouldn’t be any powerful beings who could suppress Yuehua.
“No.”
In the Demon Realm, Wanwan had many unresolved matters concerning her main body.
Bringing Ye Kai in at this time would stir up a lot of trouble.
More importantly, if her Aunt Yan Ruyu found out that she was idle in the Human Realm and deliberately targeted someone who belonged to her people, it wouldn’t just be a beating.
Recalling Yan Ruyu’s methods, Wanwan was still afraid.
Her current actions had already broken the rules.
According to her original plan, she only wanted to guide Ye Kai to deal with Lin Mo.
But recently, she had personally intervened against Lin Mo two or three times.
It was like children playing games. As long as the parents didn’t interfere personally, no matter how severe the outcome, it was just a conflict between the children.
If a parent were to personally discipline the other child, the nature of the situation would change.
She just wanted to prove she was better than her aunt and see her aunt embarrassed.
She didn’t want to see tomorrow’s sun.
But ultimately, it was all because Ye Kai was useless.
She simply couldn’t stand Ye Kai’s idiotic brain, which was so stupid it could eat shit.
If she hadn’t acted back then and put the Demon Bead she had nurtured for many years into Lin Mo’s body, how could Lin Mo have exposed his Demonic Energy?
How could Ye Kai have possibly defeated Lin Mo?
Thinking of the Demon Bead being given away to Lin Mo for free still pained her greatly…
“Why not?”
Ye Kai was getting anxious, his tone becoming a bit aggressive.
“I said no, and that’s final. Do you have any dissatisfaction with my words?”
Wanwan’s voice turned cold, clearly angry.
Compared to Ye Kai’s worthless life, she didn’t care about anything else.
“You need to understand your position. Without me, you are nothing, just a useless piece of trash who can do nothing but rage impotently.”
Ye Kai was infuriated by the scolding, and he even felt an urge to kill Wanwan.
Remembering that he still needed Wanwan’s help, he suppressed his anger for the time being.
“Wanwan, you are right, I spoke too rashly just now. What should I do now?” Ye Kai asked in a conciliatory tone.
Wanwan saw through his thoughts clearly.
She found it laughable. This was the biggest difference between humans and demons.
They were always fantasizing about impossible things in their minds.
Therefore, such people would become nourishment for demons.
“Keep stalling. When I open another passage for you, we’ll slip away.” Wanwan said perfunctorily.
Then, Ye Kai’s body, which had finally been healed, was once again twisted into pretzels by Yuehua, causing him immense suffering.
Worse than the last time, Yuehua had also gouged out one of his eyeballs this time.
When Wanwan opened another passage, Ye Kai didn’t have a chance to retrieve his eyeball and fled in a panic.
Seeing Ye Kai escape once again, Yuehua’s ultimate goal remained ‘slaughtering demons.’
However, after saying this, she tilted her head and considered a new problem: “My arm, my eyes, what should I take next?”
As her transformation into a demon progressed, she gradually developed new consciousness, or rather, a new personality, moving from the initial unconscious actions driven solely by instinct.
This demonized personality would become more mature with the passage of time.
…
Let’s rewind two months ago, to Lin Mo’s timeline.
After Lin Mo amassed Regret Points from the demonic cultivators outside the Demon Realm who intended to rob and kill him,
He naturally entered the Demon Realm to continue leveling up.
He relied on the Demonic Energy of the Demon Race that Wanwan had planted inside him when she framed him. This allowed him to break through to the late Nascent Soul Stage.
He then asked Magic Cannon to take him into the Demon Realm.
Magic Cannon led Lin Mo to a deep abyss before stopping.
“Brother Mo, look down. That’s the entrance to the Demon Realm.”
“Only Demonic Cultivators and demons can break through that barrier and enter the Demon Realm.”
Lin Mo looked into the bottomless abyss that resembled a hell and asked, “What if they are not Demonic Cultivators or demons?”
Magic Cannon chuckled, “Then they fall into the abyss.”
“I heard there’s a mysterious power at the bottom of that abyss that seals Cultivation Levels.”
“I’m leaving now, bye-bye.”
With that, Magic Cannon jumped into the abyss.
Lin Mo watched clearly as Magic Cannon disappeared after jumping into the abyss, presumably having entered the Demon Realm through the barrier.
Meanwhile, Magic Cannon, having successfully entered the Demon Realm, took out the Pill Lin Mo had given him and weighed it in his hand.
“A cultivator actually wants to enter the Demon Realm? What an idiot.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Magic Cannon felt a hand grab his shoulder.
“Who were you calling an idiot?”
Magic Cannon instantly turned around and, upon seeing Lin Mo’s smiling face, stumbled backward in shock, asking with disbelief, “You, how did you get in?”
“Same as you, I jumped in.”
“How is that possible?” Magic Cannon shook his head in astonishment.
In thousands of years, he had never heard of anyone other than demons and Demonic Cultivators being able to reach the Demon Realm.
Unless they possessed the power to break through the Demon Realm’s barrier.
However, that was only achieved a hundred years ago by that unknown rogue cultivator who sealed the Old Ancestor.
And this person before him, although very strong, was only a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.
“Don’t change the subject. You took my stuff, so you have to fulfill your duty and help me get familiar with the internal situation of the Demon Realm.”
Magic Cannon bowed and agreed, starting to introduce Lin Mo to the general information about the Demon Realm.
The entire Demon Realm was almost divided and occupied by three major demon races.
They were Baili, Qianchi, and Chiyan.
In the Demon Realm, the status of Demonic Cultivators was lower than that of demons.
Or rather, Demonic Cultivators had to rely on true demons to survive in the Demon Realm.
One hundred years ago, before the Old Ancestor of the Demon Realm was sealed, all the demons in the Demon Realm obeyed Chu Tiange.
Since the three demon races were without a ruler, they naturally developed independently, and their relationships grew increasingly strained.
Currently, Lin Mo was within the territory of the Qianchi clan.
Lin Mo observed his surroundings.
It felt similar to the Human Realm, except that the sky here was a dark crimson. As for the plants around him, Lin Mo had never seen any of them before.
After walking for a while, Lin Mo noticed that the Demonic Cultivators and demons within the Demon Realm paid him no mind.
Upon closer consideration, this was not strange.
After all, who would expect someone to be cultivating in the Demon Realm?
As long as Lin Mo didn’t use Spiritual Energy in the Demon Realm, they would all treat him like one of their own.
Besides, Lin Mo was, in a way, half-kin to these Demonic Cultivators and demons.
He did have half demon blood in him, after all.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but become curious: ‘My mother was also a demon, I wonder which clan she belonged to in the Demon Realm?’
Perhaps he could even recognize some relatives.
The security in the surrounding area was quite good; in half a day, he hadn’t encountered any Demonic Cultivators looking to rob him.
Magic Cannon was speechless upon hearing Lin Mo’s desire to be robbed.
Having lived for so long, it was his first time seeing someone with such self-destructive intentions.
“Brother Mo, the Demonic Cultivators inside the Demon Realm are different from those outside. Here, Demonic Cultivators are all affiliated with demons, especially within the territories of the various clans. Without knowing the other party’s identity, no one dares to make a move casually.”
Lin Mo asked, “What about outside the territories of the clans?”
Magic Cannon replied, “The borders between the three major demon races are quite chaotic. Due to territorial disputes, Demonic Cultivators without affiliation to the three major demon races here often get into conflicts.”
Lin Mo said, “Then let’s go there.”
As Magic Cannon had said before, there were quite a number of powerful beings in the Demon Realm. If he were to offend someone within the territories, it would likely involve a whole group of people pulling strings behind the scenes.
And the more chaotic the place, the more suitable it was for him to collect Regret Points.
“Ah?” Magic Cannon stood frozen.
“What?” Lin Mo looked at him and saw the fear on Magic Cannon’s face.
“Brother Mo, we don’t have any demon clans to rely on, no backing. Going there is suicidal.”
“To put it bluntly, even though Brother Mo has the Cultivation Level of Nascent Soul Stage, is famous and capable at the border of the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, there are countless cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Soul Severing stages there. You won’t be able to blend in.”
“Besides, the moment you make a move, your identity will be exposed, and you will inevitably be besieged by many demons and Demonic Cultivators.”
“Why don’t we leave the Demon Realm and become mountain kings at the border? That would be carefree and comfortable.”
Magic Cannon was truly scared.
Due to not having any affiliated demon clans, he generally didn’t dare to come to the Demon Realm alone.
Therefore, he always stayed at the border between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm.
Moreover, with his Golden Core Cultivation Level, in this Demon Realm where Golden Cores were as common as dogs and Nascent Souls were everywhere, it was simply not enough.
Lin Mo patted Magic Cannon’s shoulder and chuckled, “Don’t be afraid, Brother will protect you.”
Magic Cannon still wore a troubled expression on his face, but inwardly he was cursing, “This guy’s brain is really not normal. A Nascent Soul covering a Golden Core? You really can’t cover anyone in this Demon Realm.”
Seeing that Magic Cannon still wanted to leave, Lin Mo took out the Liuli Sword and held it to his neck, still smiling, “You have two choices: die with me there, or be killed by me right now.”
Magic Cannon, tears streaming down his face, chose the former.
At least the former offered a sliver of a chance for survival, while the latter was certain death.
Perhaps he could even slip away in the chaos.
He just hoped this person wouldn’t be as arrogant as he was outside, slashing at anyone he disliked.
A few days later, they arrived at the border of the three major demon races.
Lin Mo clearly felt that the Demonic Cultivators here were much more hostile towards him.
Although they didn’t attack immediately, many of them were staring at his every move.
Magic Cannon reminded him, “At this time, Brother Mo, you must keep a low profile. Absolutely do not get into conflicts with anyone, and it’s best not to stare at people constantly.”
“The Demonic Cultivators here usually move in groups. Even if they don’t have any affiliated demon clans behind them, they shouldn’t be underestimated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo’s eyes met with a Demonic Cultivator walking towards him.
The Demonic Cultivator looked coldly at Lin Mo, “What are you looking at?”
Lin Mo rolled his eyes and said, “My eyes are on me, I can look at whatever I want. What business is it of yours?”
Seeing this situation, Magic Cannon quickly retreated, not wanting to be implicated by Lin Mo.
He secretly shook his head. This master truly didn’t listen to advice…
As Magic Cannon had predicted, the Demonic Cultivator in front of Lin Mo’s face was furious. He waved his hand, and seven or eight people immediately appeared beside him.
He glared fiercely at Lin Mo, saying, “Kowtow to me twice, hand over the items in your storage ring, or die.”
Lin Mo answered a question with a question, “Are you the leader of this group?”
The Demonic Cultivator was stunned, then chuckled, “What, you want to join me?”
“As I said, kowtow to me twice, hand over the items in your storage ring, and I might consider taking you in.”
Lin Mo cut to the chase. Once he confirmed that the lesser would not be backed by the greater, he took out the Liuli Sword in his hand.
The person before him had the cultivation of the Soul Splitting Stage, while the rest were at the Nascent Soul Stage.
To ensure that he could attract more ‘fish’ in the future, Lin Mo decided to finish this quickly.
In an instant, Demonic Energy surged around him. Before the group could react, their legs were severed one by one by Lin Mo.
Fear and regret spread in their hearts.
None of them had expected that this young man at the Nascent Soul Stage would be so terrifyingly powerful.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they regretted it, it was too late. Lin Mo’s Liuli Sword had already taken all their heads.
Magic Cannon, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. What had he just seen?
A Nascent Soul easily killing a Soul Splitting cultivator?
No, that wasn’t the point.
The main point was that his great master was actually a Demonic Cultivator?
He had been hiding it quite deeply.
Lin Mo glanced at Magic Cannon, “Take their storage rings.”
Magic Cannon respectfully complied. For the time being, he had no thoughts of escape. He had a premonition that following Lin Mo would lead to a life of luxury.
The next two months passed.
Lin Mo’s accumulated Regret Points reached 450,000.
Sensing an impending breakthrough, he spent 50,000 Regret Points, instructing the System to attach Demonic Energy to his divine soul when he broke through to the Soul Splitting Stage.
The moment he broke through to the Soul Splitting Stage, Lin Mo clearly felt a difference in his control over the Demonic Energy within him.
Now, as long as he didn’t want to use Demonic Energy, no one could detect that he was also cultivating demonic arts.
At this point, he began to consider how to get revenge on Ye Kai.
Thinking of Ye Kai, Lin Mo’s eyes turned icily cold.
He now had the strength to kill Ye Kai, but mere death would be too easy for him.
He had gone through hundreds of reincarnations, and his cause of death in each life was related to Ye Kai.
Moreover, Ye Kai had framed him with his sins. If he didn’t expose Ye Kai’s actions and thus whitewash himself, Lin Mo would be unable to sleep peacefully.
[I know the host has questions. Let’s set the price at two hundred per question first.]
“My question is about how to spend points with you. If you still charge me for inquiries, I’ll figure it out myself.”
[Host, you already have hundreds of thousands of Regret Points. Can you stop being so stingy? Two hundred Regret Points are nothing to you, aren’t they?]
“I’ll give you three seconds to decide.”
Just as Lin Mo was about to count down to one, the System compromised.
[I’m defeated by you, stingy host. The most direct way to expose Ye Kai’s actions is to let everyone see what he has done.]
[Although you can’t afford the ‘Yellow Millet Dream’ skill yet, you can buy a small portion of it.]
[The abilities of Yellow Millet Dream include predicting life and death, seeing past and future timelines of an individual, etc.]
[It also includes the ability to extract memory scenes and materialize them.]
[You can purchase the last ability separately.]
Hearing this, Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.
This was a good skill.
Not only could it reveal Ye Kai’s actions to the public, but it could also be used to earn a lot of Regret Points.
What if Yuehua and Shen Ke’er’s divine souls knew that he had been reincarnated hundreds of times and died by their hands hundreds of times?
Wouldn’t that bring in a massive amount of Regret Points?
After all, these two had an unusual relationship with him. The amount of Regret Points obtained depended on the target’s relationship with him and the degree of their regret.
Most importantly, it would be satisfying.
“Then, how much Regret Points does this ability require?”
[Buying it separately costs one million. Using it once costs one hundred thousand.]
“Get lost. Don’t try to rip me off.”
“You just said that buying the ability to predict life and death separately only cost thirty thousand Regret Points. Yet, this memory extraction ability costs one hundred thousand per use?”
[If the host feels it’s a loss, they don’t have to buy it.]
“Then I won’t buy it.” Lin Mo shrugged decisively.
With so many Regret Points, it would be better used to improve his own strength.
There was no need to buy an ability that could only extract memories.
The System was flustered. [Host, why aren’t you playing by the rules?]
“It’s too expensive. I just think it’s not worth it.”
[Then the host can bargain.]
[Anyway, you’ve bargained many times before.]
Speaking of which, the System’s voice sounded a little aggrieved.
Lin Mo said, “I’ll name a price: six hundred thousand to buy this ability, not to use it once.”
[Host, you’re cutting into my main artery!]
Lin Mo also felt it was a bit excessive. “Then fifty thousand to buy this ability.”
[What the heck, why are you bidding lower and lower?]
“Four hundred thousand.”
[Wait, six hundred thousand it is. It’s truly my good fortune to meet a host like you.]
“I’m not that good.”
The System roared, [I wasn’t praising you.]
Lin Mo smiled; this System was really easy to bully.
However, even if this skill cost six hundred thousand Regret Points, he was still short by a lot.
It seemed he had to kill more people in the Demon Realm who intended to rob and kill him.
…
On Ye Kai’s side, after Yuehua gouged out one of his eyeballs, he had no opportunity to heal.
Within just a few days, Yuehua would come looking for him.
Although Wanwan managed to help him escape every time,
He had to endure the pain of his limbs being twisted into pretzels each time, and Yuehua had also taken his left ear, his upper lip, one of his… and one of his… eggs.
His spirit was on the verge of collapse. His current appearance was so hideous that even Wanwan found it hard to look at.
And this time, when Yuehua came looking for him again, her face, unlike her previous coldness, had a hint of excitement.
“This time, what should I take from you?”
“Let me think, your brain?”
“Forget it. Your cerebrum and cerebellum have atrophied. Mo’er wouldn’t like it.”
“I’d rather take your vocal cords. If you can’t speak, you won’t be able to sweet-talk others anymore. Mo’er will definitely like that too.”
Yuehua’s self-muttering sounded like demonic incantations in Ye Kai’s ears.
“Crazy woman, don’t come any closer…” Ye Kai screamed in terror.
His limbs, which had finally healed, were once again twisted into pretzels by Yuehua.
This time, he couldn’t even scream in pain; his vocal cords were already removed by Yuehua’s Demonic Energy.
Fortunately, in the nick of time, Wanwan saved his dog’s life once again.
However, this time the passage led to the Demon Realm.
