Chapter 37.1

The peerlessly talented demon ba snake (20.1)

Translated by: Niladri

The dense fog in front of the Zhaoshan mountains gradually dispersed and the demon king came out of seclusion. As he came closer, the fog started to disperse layer by layer, and the scenery of the mountains grew faint as he stepped into the stage. It’s just that the demon King who had always worn a fitting black robe was adorned in a big red robe with a complex and gorgeous dragon pattern on it today. This warm color, in contrast with his indifferent appearance gave off a somewhat brazen impression.

The demon kings of all nationalities who received the edict had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for almost five days. Seeing the King leaving seclusion, they stopped conversing and stood with their hands down.

“Speak, what’s the situation in the outside world like?” The demon race had always forgone formalities; Lu Heng sat at will, and leaned somewhat lazily on a boulder.

The demon kings of all nationalities started sitting on the ground one after another.

“A few days ago, I sent people to visit the Fanyin Temple to inquire. The origin of the mainland was indeed seriously damaged, and the destructive intent of the soul of incandescent dragon was surrounding it. It’s just that the mainland’s natural energy should be able to repair itself by the law of heaven and earth. If things go on like this, it will probably collapse?” The Rat King reported.

There was a hidden truth related to it, but this matter was from the ancient times, and few people knew about it. Lu Heng was from a clan of Ba snakes. This clan of Ba snakes had received inheritance from the ancient demons and knew the reason for this.

The incandescent dragon was originally a friendly god, and was the totem God of the most powerful tribe on the mainland at that time. The people in the tribe give the incandescent dragon power through faith, and the incandescent dragon guarded the tribe. This was a matter of offering mutual benefits and achieving common progress. The incandescent dragon had a beloved young son, and in the beginning the Tonghua appeared plain and detached from the secular world. When the Incandescent dragon’s time for tribulation had come, he could not distract himself in looking after his youngest son. In order to stabilize his mind and stay calm, the incandescent dragon entrusted his youngest son to the clan.

People’s hearts are not enough to swallow elephants [T/N: Referring to ]. The people of this tribe, who had been guarded by Incandescent dragon for thousands of years, became the most powerful tribe, but they had long become greedy. They secretly worshipped the evil gods, and under the guidance of the evil gods, imprisoned the young son of the Incandescent dragon, drew its dragon soul out, and sacrificed it by means of sorcery, in order to become gods, and increase their longevity.

Incandescent dragon returned from overcoming its tribulation, and upon receiving this tragic news, its wrath was abysmal. It swallowed up half of the tribe, and since then it had become an enemy of the mortals, causing a tremendous upheaval. Finally, the ancient God had no choice but to chop the incandescent dragon under his axe, make flute with its bone, and seal the dragon soul in it. The ancient God kept the incandescent dragon bone flute in his belt by his side, in the hope of melting its viciousness. Unexpectedly, before its fierce spirit could have melted away, the war of the gods began. The gods fell, the ancient God became the mainland origin, and the whereabouts of the incandescent dragon bone flute was unknown.

“After the battle of gods, the number of people in the mainland was greatly reduced- compared to their heyday. The tribe that killed the youngest son of Incandescent dragon was afraid of being chased by the incandescent dragon and was able to escape by hiding in a secret world.” Lu Heng recounted.

“Seven or eight out of ten humans on the mainland today are descendants of that clan.” The Nine-tailed fox King Xi explained that this fox tribe was also a demon clan from ancient times, and knew a thing or two about what happened at the beginning.

“No wonder most of the mainland people owe a Karmic debt to the spirit of Incandescent dragon.” A demon king suddenly realized.

Lu Heng nodded: “The ancient god that turned into the Mainland origin is the God of the human race. He was entangled by the force of Karma, so he could not recover.”

“Just desserts well deserved! This is clearly the result of the trouble caused by the humans themselves, and they have the audacity to ask our demon race to bear the consequences!” The fierce Tiger King smashed the boulder on his side with one blow. [T/N: Technically, I feel the demon race is indeed to blame because regardless of the past, Bai Li caused this]

Just yesterday, the demon race received a proposal from the human race that this problem was caused by the demon race, and so, in order to save thousands of life on the mainland, the demon race’s King must take responsibility to use the ancestral bones to supplement the mainland’s origin. Originally, the demon clan had felt apologetic; after all, this debacle was really caused by the demon race’s people. But the place where the bones were buried had been the foundation for the inheritance of the demon race for thousands of years. If the ancestral bones were used to supplement the mainland origin, the demon race would inevitably decline. If they didn’t make up for the mainland origin, the demon clan will race would be obliterated along with the mainland.

The demon race was in a dilemma instantly. The demon kings of all clans wanted to report the matter to the king, so they gathered today.

“Even so, the human race should also take responsibility for this matter. Those sects have a huge collection of holy artifacts and can produce more artifacts afterwards quickly, which can make up for the Mainland origin.” Said the rat King.

But Lu Heng refuted, “I fear that only things unrelated to the human race can clear up the Karma, and make up for the mainland origin.”

The demon kings of all clans grew silent. The things completely unrelated to the human race, and yet able to repair the Mainland origin, what else besides the bones of their ancestors? Moving these bones simply meant breaking off the inheritance of the demon race. There were humans eyeing them covetously. Once the demon race grew weak, they would certainly be swallowed up and even no bones will be left. Any agreement, in the face of interests, is just a piece of scrap paper.

“You go ahead and retreat, I’ll take care of it myself.” Lu Heng retired the demon kings of all clans and went back into the Zhaoshan mountain.

The matter of Shi Kong still needed to be dealt with one or two more times. Lu Heng took him to a secret place and placed a fantasy land around it, creating the illusion of a fairyland brought about by the heart devil tribulation. When everything had been arranged properly, he stared at the person in the formation for a while, one who was destined to become Buddha. After becoming Buddha, he would enter the high level plane of the three thousand worlds, live eternally in the heaven, and the soul will not enter samsara. But he himself would be in the underworld’s department, afraid that they’d never meet each other.
