Chapter 911 - 911 14.187 Last Violet Star - Ye Zihao’s Past II

911 14.187 Last Violet Star – Ye Zihao’s Past II

Mass murders had begun in the Demon Queen’s palace. Some had perished, some had suffered severe injuries, and some had managed to flee. Without even seeing the changes in the newborn baby she had flung to the ground, the Demon Queen was going on a murdering rampage in her own domain.

A mature soul possessed the immature vessel while inhabiting the baby. The newborn soul was furious at what he had witnessed after reading the memories in the body of the newborn. Despite the fact that he himself is cruel, he had never lifted his hands against a child, especially a baby.

Yet this vessel’s mother not only rejected the presence of her own son but also treated him like a threat and someone who shouldn’t exist. There was a force in her arms as she tossed her son to the cold floor, and the baby plummeted with such force that it nearly instantly killed the newborn demon. Although being born stronger than human babies, newborn demons are incredibly weak compared to other demons. As the baby’s life was denied, it could no longer resist death, and the soul that had been in possession of it effectively assumed control without any opposition.

‘This demon lady is worse than I thought. She created the child and made it live for selfish reasons when the result was the opposite of what she expected. The baby born from her was treated worse than trash. Such an imbecile doesn’t need to be left alive as a mother.’ Thoughts of the new owner of Ye Zihao’s soul. ‘It would take a while to heal if I forcefully increased the growth of this body but... this bitch can’t exist.’

After slaying every servant in her chamber, Demon Queen Astria’s rage began to wane. However, as her eyes caught sight of the newborn, who had absolutely no resemblance to her, it rekindled her deadly desire.

‘It’s that Calamity Star. A demon that does not look like one. Doesn’t look like me or him. A being that shouldn’t exist at all. It should be killed!’ The thoughts of Demon Queen Astria whole glaring at her baby.

She walks towards the baby trying to end its puny life but who would have thought that a cold frost and overbearing aura to be emitted by the baby push her helplessly onto the bloodied floor?

“I shouldn’t have created you at all! Die for this Queen!”

The Demon Queen desired to brutally murder her son. When she lifted her hand to deliver the killing blow on the baby, ice appeared from the direction the infant was coming from. The Demon Queen’s whole palace suddenly became completely encased in thick ice, trapping everything therein. Only Demon Queen Astria, who was one of the residents of the palace, knew who had committed such a tyrannical atrocity.

.....

Feeling her feet covered in ice slowly climbing up her legs to her body Demon Queen Astria had no reaction to her freezing body at all. Instead, she was dazed at the scene of her baby suddenly following in the air protected by ice elements that circulates around him like a cocoon. She immediately knew who caused the rampage of Ice Elements.

“Baby?”

Unfortunately, no one answers Demon Queen Astria’s conscious call. The baby from earlier had turned into a child who was three years old as the ice cocoon progressively opened. While the child in front of her appears to be quite lovely, his silver eyes appear to be very cut off from the rest of the world as he displays a chilly and indifferent demeanor toward the lady who is meant to be his mother.

“You are cruel. You threw it on the ground for not getting the expected result of your desires. In the end, you still wish to kill me. It is karma. And I also don’t think you deserve to be this deity’s mother. Too useless. Too weak. You should go ahead and disappear.”

The ice around the three-year-old child obeyed his commands as he carefully lifted his pudgy arms. Before she could say another word, the Demon Queen’s entire body was frozen in a thick frost as the ice that was gradually covering her body picked up speed. She looked at the child with sorrow, guilt, and terror. She was aware of the immense strength the baby she had given birth to possessed, and that even she was defenseless against him.

The young child had already turned her into ice before she could plead for mercy. She was unable to get the words out of her throat to beg for her life to be spared. Demon Queen Astria was aware that she was to blame for the child’s detached expression since it was too obvious in the child’s eyes.

The child looked at his frozen mother with a cold look and said, “Perish! You don’t deserve to be called a mother.” He clasped his chubby hand and the ice that froze the Demon Queen constricted suppressing the object inside the ice. Immediately crushing it into a pool of blood with no proper physical shape.

This was the scene Ye Guiya, the King of Devils, and the other members of the Deadly Sins had seen as they arrived. A baby demon who was forced to grow up to kill his own mother who had abandoned him. The servant of the Demon Queen, who successfully escaped and informed the King of Devils about his little highness, is trailing the party being led by the king.

Who would have thought that when he returned to the Demon Queen’s palace not only the whole palace had changed? Covered in cold ice made of elemental qi and resentment qi itself, everyone hurriedly went in to save the little prince of the devil race. Though it seems that everything is different from what they had expected as a result.

Only the King of Devils, Ye Guiya, had seen the appearance of the son of the Demon Queen. He immediately covered himself up with a robe that forbids anyone from seeing through them and didn’t even let any deadly sins that came with him. To know what the child looks like.

Ye Guiya said, “Though you were created artificially and without my permission, I can still feel my blood in you. I will allow you to use my surname Ye and give you the name Zihao. Become one of the Deadly Sins and lead the Sin of Pride.”

“I don’t care what you do. As long as you don’t get me involved in useless things.” His Highness, Ye Zihao.

Ye Guiya said, “Since you don’t like to be involved in someone or something I will give you land to live on your own. Is this your wish?”

“I want a desolate and quiet place. I don’t care if it is dangerous.” Ye Zihao said.

The King of Devils said, “I will arrange it for you. For now, go to the main palace with me.”

Ever since this day, the rumors about the newborn son of the King of Devils killing his own mother, the Demon Queen, had spread in the whole Infernal Region. They knew there is one of the Seven Deadly sins that would erase someone’s existence just because they are weak. It seems that the Devil rules the Pride despite all useless and weak beings which is why no one ever approaches the land he lives in.

Back to Reality...

The Devil of Pride said, “Useless. Too weak.”

No one would dare challenge His Highness Ye Zihao even if all the devils and demons heard what he had to say. Instead, they all chose to keep silent since they were aware that speaking up would only result in their deaths.

The King of Pride is notorious for treating all weaker entities than himself with harshness. No matter what race you are, if you are weaker than his highness, he will never treat you amiably; rather, he will treat you like trash.

Ye Zihao fixed his focused gaze on the creatures in front of him. Some of them have fully human forms, while others have hybrids of humans and demons. There are also intelligent entities with beast-like appearances that are unable to assume a human shape. In either case, they are all weak in his opinion.

“Attack the Capital City and Western Territories next. The one in the Capital will be led by the Sin of Sloth, Devil Shulan, and Devil Fennu, the Sin of Wrath. Only I need to head to the West. Once you finish destroying the Capital, gather to the West. The main forces of the Mortal World reside there. We will act after surrounding it once the Human Emperor has died.”

“Be swift and thorough. Leave nothing alive. The possibility of the Immortals interfering would only happen if we successfully conquer the Mortal Realm. Depart now.”

After getting the instruction from the new King of Devils, all beings that live in the Infernal Realm move under his command. On this day, all Demons and Devils had come out of the Infernal Region and headed to the Mortal Realm.

Capital City, Central Land...

Within the Imperial Palace

The other ministers were conversing at the court assembly on this particular day while Hou Longqing was busy performing his duties from his throne. The Black Dragon, who stands next to the Human Emperor and is seen supervising his little emperor as he works, is also there.

“Your Majesty, the civilians are stabilized after the earthquakes had been calmed by the cultivators from the West City. A lot of the nobles wanted to move to the West but...”

“But afraid they would be declined? After all, they were the ones who ordered those assassination attempts on Lord Chun Hongyun-Jun’s life.”

“....” A lot of ministers involved in this scandal lowered their heads. Whether they didn’t do it or did it secretly they knew that if Chun Hongyun-Jun declined them they wouldn’t be able to enter the western territory.

The Human Emperor, Hou Longqing narrowed his eyes as he stared at these shameless ministers who wanted to use their authority to pressure him the new Emperor to help them move into the West City.

Hou Longqing said, “Do you think Zhen is a mule? One that you can just order around if you wanted to?! If that is so then you should just sit on the throne of this Zhen!”

“Please calm down your Majesty. Please calm down your Majesty.”

“We beg the emperor to please quell your rage!”

“Please don’t hurt your dragon body, your majesty!”

Every minister and official collectively kneels before the Human Emperor especially when the Heilan the black dragon glances at them with those pair of red crimson dragon eyes.

Heilan spoke, “If you’re so annoyed with them I can eat them for you, A’Qing.”

“Don’t eat. They are not delicious. Lan-ge I still have some wine in the palace. Let’s drink that after work,” said Hou Longqing while smiling at Heilan.

“Okay. I’ll wait for you to finish work.” Heilan said.

On the ground the ministers and officials who were threatened directly by the guardian of the palace tremble while kneeling. Only when the Human Emperor had let them leave did they run out of the court as if fleeing for their lives?

In the end, there is only Hou Longqing and Heilan remaining in the room and a few guards outside the court hall.

Heilan spoke, “A’Qing through the ministers and officials of this dynasty are mostly useless, they had said one right thing.”

“You mean moving to the Western Territory?” asked Hou Longqing.

Heilan nodded his head and said, “Yes. The formation around the Capital is similar to the one in the west. Unlike them, we only have one great sect of support and the cultivators in this land are limited. Unlike in the west where the Bai Lengshui Sect, Ku Weifeng Sect, and Jin Tiangui Sect had transferred most of their survivors, the number of their cultivators is greater than we have. Plus there are two immortals in that place. They don’t need to fear losing the source of qi to maintain the barrier around their land.”

“But...there are too many people in the Capital. If we ask for their protection would we have enough space to be included there?” asked Hou Longqing.

Heilan smiled helplessly and said, “You know we can’t bring everyone with us. Especially those people who dared to target Lord Chun Hongyun-Jun, they were the first ones who would never be accepted by the Lan Zhuayun Sect. Lord Hei would definitely reject them.”

“I know. Sigh~ if only they had listened to my father’s words they wouldn’t have ended up like this. Okay, I will listen to you, Lan-ge. Should I call Sect Master Yun for support then...?”

“Yes, do it as soon as possible. I had a bad premonition that something terrible is about to happen.” Heilan said as he looked at the distant horizon of the far red sky.
