The captain of the guard looked even more upset. As a Zhenmo level powerhouse, dealing with a small Tianmo should've been easy. But this Tianmo kept unleashing the Primordial Force and actually endured several of his attacks.
Where was he supposed to put his dignity after that?
The captain of the guard roared, and in the next heartbeat, he revealed his true form. A massive serpent rose above the ground, hissing at Yun Jin as nine heads spat venom at the same time. This was his true body, the Nine Headed Serpent Demon.
"What a fine Nine Headed Serpent." Yun Jin looked irritated too.
She raised her palm. Countless demonic marks surfaced across her skin. These marks opened their mouths and devoured the venom without stopping.
"What is that…"
The entire inner city erupted into a frenzy.
"That's a natural demonic pattern of the Devouring Demon Clan."
"Heavens, this super genius is actually someone from my Devouring Demon Clan."
"Which wandering clansman finally came home?"
"Stop! You need to stop right now."
Members of the Devouring Demon Clan rushed forward to halt the fight.
The captain of the guard trembled and instinctively pulled back his power.
After all…
All of them were servants of the Devouring Demon Clan. If he had known his opponent belonged to that lineage, he never would've dared open his mouth.
The venom vanished.
The captain looked at Yun Jin with obvious flattery. "I didn't know you were a distinguished member of the Devouring Demon Clan. I've offended you. Please forgive me."
Yun Jin let out a cold snort, looking bored. "I knew the moment I revealed my identity, you wouldn't dare attack anymore. A dog is still a dog. How would you ever bare your fangs at your master. What a waste. All the skills I earned through hardship, and nowhere to test them."
He didn't dare feel even the slightest anger at being called a dog to his face. He just kept agreeing.
Yun Jin sheathed her sword and walked past him without expression, showing she'd already lost interest.
An elderly demon from the Devouring Demon Clan walked over with a warm smile. "Welcome home, child of our Devouring Clan."
Yun Jin's eyes softened. "Thank you. I've been adrift outside for two thousand years. It wasn't easy to find my way back."
The demons around her exchanged looks.
A noble demon, drifting outside for two thousand years, and this one even possessed such astonishing talent.
They were about to ask more when a huge muscular man walked over.
The crowd instantly opened a path.
"The Demon God invites you." The man spoke stiffly, as if he wasn't used to talking.
"The Demon God? Demon God Darén wants to see me?" Yun Jin looked pleasantly surprised.
The man quietly gestured for her to follow.
Without hesitation, she walked with him toward the Demon God Palace.
Once the two disappeared from view, the demons burst into discussion.
"That kid's about to rise in one leap."
"It's always better to cultivate your own people than outsiders. With the Devouring Clan's innate ability, plus mastery of three Primordial Forces, how are we supposed to lose the disciples tournament this time?"
"But… how could our Devouring Clan have a clansman stranded outside. Could this Liu Yue really have no issues?"
"If she had something to hide, would she dare see the Demon God?"
"True. Demon God Darén sees through all illusions. If she had a problem, she'd never be able to hide it."
"I think our Devouring Clan is about to welcome a true peerless genius."
Everyone grew excited. As a superior demon clan, they were born with innate divine abilities and were naturally a step quicker than other clans. But one step quicker didn't mean every step stayed quicker.
Take the genius invited by the Violet Lightning Demon God. Not a single member of the younger Devouring generation could compare to him.
It was embarrassing for a superior clan.
But now…
This Liu Yue appeared like a heavenly phenomenon. Her cultivation and mastery of the Primordial Force weren't inferior to that genius at all. She also possessed the Devouring Clan's divine ability. In the disciples tournament, the Devouring Clan was finally going to claim the top spot.
The Demon God Palace of the Devouring Demon God looked majestic from afar.
The closer Yun Jin got, the colder the air became. Darkness deepened until the sky itself turned pitch black. By the time she reached the palace gates, the world around her had become a field of endless night.
Even with her Tianmo level strength, she could only make out blurry shapes in this darkness.
What was this place?
Her gaze flickered.
She suddenly remembered the name of this small world.
The Polar Night Demon World.
Night.
So this world was tied to night itself.
"I can only send you this far." The man pushed open the palace doors, then silently stood guard.
Yun Jin glanced around.
Outside the palace, row after row of identical muscular figures stood motionless. Judging by their numbers, there were at least a hundred of them. And every one of them possessed Zhenmo level cultivation.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that these men alone could sweep through the Vast Azure World, the Spirit Beast World, and the Void Mirage World.
And they were…
Just gatekeepers of the Demon God Palace.
Yun Jin fell silent.
The difference between worlds was so overwhelming it left her uneasy.
Seventy years… how much could she bridge that gap?
She forced down her thoughts and stepped into the hall.
Inside, the darkness was even thicker.
Her vision was completely swallowed. Even with her Tianmo strength, she couldn't see anything. She didn't try to sweep away the darkness with the Primordial Force.
Instead, she knelt respectfully. "Liu Yue obeys Demon God Darén's call."
After a brief silence…
Several eerie green lamps ignited.
Yun Jin stayed kneeling with her head bowed, not daring to lift it. It wasn't an exaggeration. Even if she used every card she had, she only had a one in a thousand chance of fighting the Devouring Demon God to a draw.
And this level of powerhouse…
There were seven more in the Polar Night Demon World. She had no hope of shaking this world yet. She could only endure and endure until the time came.
A long moment passed.
A distant voice echoed through the hall. "At the palace doors earlier, your thoughts fluctuated greatly. What were you thinking at that moment?"
Yun Jin answered quietly, "After wandering for two thousand years, I've finally returned to my clan. I can finally meet Demon God Darén. Liu Yue was simply overjoyed."
The Primordial Yin Yang masked fate.
Even after examining her carefully, the Devouring Demon God couldn't detect a single trace of falsehood. He nodded with satisfaction. No demon could lie in front of him. This Liu Yue was telling the truth.
"Wandering for two thousand years? Why were you stranded outside?"
Yun Jin replied softly, "My parents were Song Ming and Hai Jing. They ventured out two thousand years ago and were trapped in a secret realm within the Grim Terror Demon Domain. They died there. During their journey, they conceived me by accident. Before they passed, they used the last of their strength to push me out of that realm. For the past two thousand years, I've been wandering through the demon domains. I crossed the five great demon regions and finally returned to the Devouring Demon Domain."
As she spoke, emotion welled up. Tears slid down her face.
Song Ming and Hai Jing weren't names she made up.
She had gone through the missions of the Polar Night Demon World, and one of them was called the Final Wish of Liu Yue.
