Chapter 900 - 900 14.176 Last Violet Star - Demon Queen, Xue Bingya

900 14.176 Last Violet Star – Demon Queen, Xue Bingya

In the Infernal Region...

Compared to those that occur in the mortal realm, the natural catastrophe in the domain of demons is considerably more severe. Volcanoes that erupt sometimes are all across their region. All volcanoes have erupted simultaneously due to the Upper Realm’s earthquakes, almost submerging the area in lava in motion. It led to the deaths of several weaker demonic tribes.

Even the other seven deadly sins were alarmed by the drastic changes taking place in their homeland. Devil Shulan and Devil Fennu visited the main palace to request his highness Zihao’s assistance. After all, only Ye Zihao had the power to protect them from everyone in the Infernal Realm.

Sadly, the king doesn’t seem to be affected. Even though they couldn’t see his face, he sat securely on the throne with his head resting on his right hand.

Two of the seven deadly sins, Fennu and Shulan, came to him and bowed down in front of him. Their selected companions or vessels were in the background.

Devil Fennu said, “Your highness Zihao, please calm down everyone’s panic in the Infernal Region. The entire realm is trembling as a result of the shock from the Upper Realm, and several minor tribes have perished as a result.”

Devil Shulan exclaimed, “We implore his highness to carry out his obligations as the King of the Devil race.”

The man seated on the throne received a prompt reaction. He appeared to be asleep since he was not moving. Nobody had the suicidal audacity to peek inside this venerable’s hood to check whether he is asleep or not. Devil Fennu was about to continue speaking when he was abruptly interrupted.

“Your High... Ugh!”

.....

“Who told you that I am your king? I think you are making a mistake somewhere... Did I say even once that I care for this race or this realm?” said the man in a white hood, Ye Zihao.

The words they had just heard had silenced them all. They had nearly forgotten the shaking of the ground at this point. Even the ground inside the royal room has clearly cracked from the stress being felt by the Infernal Region. Just the area where Ye Zihao was sitting and the throne were immobile. Even though the throne’s location appears to be isolated from the whole Infernal Area, they were unable to see the chair trembling.

Ye Zihao kept talking while wearing his hood, preventing everyone from catching a glimpse of his eyes because he had been sleeping when they arrived. He was still keeping his eyes closed.

“His chair is comfortable and the softest I’ve seen in this realm, so I took a seat and that was all. Besides, I didn’t do anything to your king. When I returned here to kill time, I found your king already gone. Moreover...”

Ye Zihao abruptly released an aura that was incredibly frigid and harsh. Devil Shulan and Devil Fennu were struck immediately, suffering injuries to their faces and arms. It appeared as though this man’s cold aura manifested as jagged ice and sliced them into pieces. The entire room was now below zero in temperature. The cold, gleaming eyes cast a demeaning glance across the throne room.

Ye Zihao exclaimed, “Have you seen a behemoth care for an ant? Why would this deity even care about your puny little existence!? Scram!”

His final words were accompanied by a powerful aura that forced the four of them outside the throne chamber. Due to the unexpected aural compulsion, they were internally injured and coughing up blood.

BANG!

They were clearly pushed out of the room by the powerful being’s aura within since the door to the throne had slammed shut in front of their face.

COUGH!

For the remaining three, Devil Fennu braced himself more heavily, and his internal wounds were more severe. He coughed out part of his internal organ meat and a mouthful of blood. He clearly had serious wounds.

“Brother Fen! Tsk... Let’s go to a witch doctor!” said Devil Shulan.

Devil Fennu responded, “No... Need. G-Go under the cliff. Ask... the queen for help.”

“Are you really okay? You puke not only blood but a few of your internal organ’s flesh.” Jin Baihua asked.

“How about... We bring Sir Fennu to a witch doctor. Master will go to see the Queen.” said the vessel of Shulan.

Devil Shulan thought this plan was feasible as the whole region was still shaking and they needed someone to stabilize the region. Since his highness, Ye Zihao isn’t willing to help. Only the Demon Queen could help them right now.

“Sounds good but what if you got buried under as the quakes continue? No need I will bring you guys to the witch doctor first then go see the queen...” said Devil Shulan.

“Okay.”

“What is happening anyway? This is the first time I’ve heard about earthquakes in this realm.” Jin Baihua said.

Devil Shulan said, “You’re wrong. This tremor is not only in the Infernal Region. It was an earthquake that shook all three realms. When two high-ranked beings fight, the three realms are affected. This is an aftershock of a battle from the Upper Realm.”

“What!?”

“Immortals fight every day but this is the first time I felt the realms shake like this!”

“Of course, it’s not that simple. This kind of tremor only happened once and it was lost in the past even before we existed but the oldest of the demons know. The last time the three realms shook is when the King of Devils fought with the Immortal Emperor of Heavenly Domain.” Devil Fennu said.

Jin Baihua and the others were stunned and silent. Even though they had previously encountered the King of Devils, he didn’t appear to be as powerful as the stories suggested—instead, he resembled an immortal. Nonetheless, it would appear that they were the ones who were unaware of the difference they were up against because their power was so much more than that of the opponent. It is understandable why they were unable to observe anything because the strength disparity is more complex than a few levels.

Jin Baihua asked, “Then who is this Queen you are talking about?”

“The Queen is a demon born in this realm. She was the supreme ruler of the Infernal Region before the King of Devils had appeared,” said Devil Fennu.

Jin Baihua asked, “Then is the King of Devils not originally a devil?”

“No, rumors say he is a God that has fallen.” Devil Shulan said. “That’s why when he created us with a wisp of his soul, we took a form closer to human and possessed an appearance that is similar to the immortals.”

Jin Baihua commented, “The relationship between the Infernal Realm and the Upper Realm is too complicated.”

“Haha~ I know right~,” said Devil Shulan as they finally reached the territory of the witch doctor in their realm. “That’s the house of the witch doctor. I’m now going to ask the Queen to help us.”

“Go ahead. Cough!” Devil Fennu said.

Only when Devil Shulan took his leave did the three of them head to the house of the witch doctor to get Fennu treated. The tremors in the Infernal Region were nonstop as if the world was ending itself.

At the depths of the Infernal Realm...

Under the cliff, among the glaciers, is another throne. A devil rests on an ice bed and has pure white long hair and white eyes. The head has a white horn that resembles a crown on it, and the snake-like eyes have a disoriented expression as they stare off into the distance. The Demon Queen did not begin to gently awaken and get up to leave her position until the realm began to tremble. She is walking on a thick layer of ice, wearing a pristine black silk robe that she even dragged.

She observes as she passes through a sizable open veranda on her palace while the ground beneath her feet trembles violently and that hot lava drops like falls from above the cliff. She observed everything carelessly as if her life weren’t in any danger. Looking about nonchalantly, she noticed a person who smelled much like that man. Demon Shulan was escaping from the wave of lava that was chasing after him. Demon Shulan was running about in a panic when he discovered the Demon Queen standing on the terrace of her palace, idly watching the scene of his near-death scenario, he felt depressed by it.

“Her Majesty! Please save me. No please help stabilize the whole realm.” said Shulan who immediately fell on one knee before the Demon Queen.

The Demon Queen didn’t even look at him and just asked, “What happened?”

“Ugh! This shaking is the aftershock of the battle between two high-ranked beings. The King must be in the Upper Realm fighting with the Immortal Emperor once again. Please save our realm, it is also broken, your majesty!” explained Devil Shulan.

Finally, the Demon Queen showed signs of interest once the name of the guy who holds her heart was spoken. Indeed, the King of Devils is the only person or thing that might pique the interest of this soulless demon queen. About the others, she didn’t give a damn.

Devil Shulan eventually caught the attention of the Demon Queen, Xue Bingya, who questioned, “He went to the Upper Realms? Alone? Battling with the Immortal Emperor?”

“Certainly, your majesty, as a result of their war, the three realms were damaged, resulting in widespread natural calamities.” Demon Shulan said.

If not for the apparent traits on her body that indicate she is a demon, the Demon Queen would appear to be a fairy as she sprang into the air and flew. Her black robes flowed in the direction of the wind.

After declaring, “I will travel to the Upper Realm and freeze all lava in this realm on my route, as for the rest... You guys will handle it,” Xue Bingya soared away without even turning her head to look at Shulan.

The most formidable female demon in their domain caught Devil Shulan’s attention. Except for the monster known as Ye Zihao, she is even more powerful than the Seven Deadly Sins.

When he watched the Demon Queen transform the lava into frozen ice, Devil Shulan murmured, “Sigh~ I truly couldn’t understand. When the last demon queen died under the hands of her own son, his highness Zihao, this new generation queen wasn’t unlike the former. She had no interest in strength or authority. Except for the King of Devils, she never reacted like she’s interested like now.”

The whole Infernal Region was blanketed in ice in a matter of hours, changing the country of roiling lava and volcanoes into a white expanse where nothing but ice could be seen. Even Ye Zihao, who was dozing on the throne, observed that the newborn demon queen had abandoned her castle and was now attempting to ascend after coating the whole Infernal Region in ice. He still exhibits the same lack of interest.

“Born as an Immortal, Reborn as a Demon. How foolish one can turn in their so-called love. Boring~” mumbled the man on the throne as he once again fell asleep.

Nobody is aware of his plans or the reason he is waiting. Yet, he is currently dozing out like a lion, and nobody has the courage to stir him.

Meanwhile, Xue Bingya saw similar auras that were very similar to her own as she traveled to the Mortal Realm. It was emanating from human territory, which was entirely surrounded by a dark violet barrier. She went toward the location where the presence of those familiar aurae was highest and circled about the barrier as if looking for a way in.

She attempted to look past the barrier with a benign face, but the barrier itself prevented anything from going through—not even one’s sight. Of course, her approach was also sensed by others who shared a similar aura with her.

In the Lan Zhuayun Sect...

Tea in hand, Xue Wuyue sensed a familiar aura beyond the purple barrier. She felt a pang of disappointment as he remembered the owner of such an aura, which was so nostalgic.

“Is she... Don’t tell me!?” said Xue Wuyue before flying away leaving her husband no choice but to chase her.

Xia Jieye on the other hand was making pancakes with his wife when he suddenly turned his eyes to the sky.

Hei Anjing said, “Do you want to meet?”

“No need. I don’t care,” stated Xia Jieye.

Xue Wuyue and Xia Jieye were the ones who reacted to the Demon Queen’s entrance the most. They both turned their heads to the sky. But, as usual, the latter chose to remain idle while Xue Wuyue instead flew to see the demon queen.
