Become the Demon once feared by all

"I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, five hundred million years passed by."

He closed his eyes and allowed the last drop of tears to fell to his cheeks. As he opened them, his eyes were no longer reminiscing, it was voided with emotions. He said, "These evil spirits, I've never heard of them."

Xianwu replied, "Your Majesty when Great Ancestor Ni Shan perished, he formulated a plan to allow his descendants to live. When we woke up from slumber, they already term us Evil Spirits which confused me."

Fengxian chuckled. His eyes turned ice-cold as he said this: "Is this her plan? Did she leave now?"

Xianwu fell into deep thought before he replied this: "This is...perhaps her plan, Your Majesty. She wished(maybe) to exterminate the Ni Clan.

"As for the latter, I don't have a clue, Your Majesty. When I first woke up, I was heavily injured by dozens of experts, forcing me to slumber for many years...so I lack information. Please forgive this one."

Fengxian didn't mind that. To be honest, he was grateful to Ni Shan; he stayed true to his promise. He could still remember the stubborn youth from years ago...

"Young Master Fengxian, please accept me as your subordinate. I swore on the Heaven and Earth, I, Ni Shan, will be your spear and shield for eternity."

It feels like spring just happened yesterday. That day, the young Ni Shan — one of the geniuses of the Myriad Epoch — lost to him in a battle. He then knelt in hopes to be Fengxian's subordinate. As Fengxian accepted him, Ni Shan followed him when he slaughtered his way to the imperial heavens to resurrect his loved one; creating a new epoch where he split heavens into 33 layers which are now well renowned as 33 heavens. Unfortunately though, time was relentless and unforgiving. Although he had returned, the people who followed him, his friends, and his family disappeared on the river of time while others lived but betrayed him.

"Young Wu, which layer is the Eternal Horizon Heaven?"

"Your Majesty, the Eternal Horizon Realm, it is ranked 24th."

"24th..." Fengxian mumbled as he sighed. He cupped his fists behind his back, took a quick glance at the moon, before turning around. "Let us go."

——

The 24th layer of the 33 heavens was once supervised by the Ni Clan, Min Clan, and Xing Clan. These three clans were Supreme Overlords before the Paragon of Heaven and Earth vanished. Once the Outer Beings, however, attacked though, the three clans were wiped in history. In fact, everyone had forgotten these Overlords nor they remembered the existence of the Paragon of Heaven and Earth; except for few ancient characters, no one remembered them.

When they returned at the gates, a woman was leaning on the door of the hut. It was Fan Meihui.

She sat there with a blank expression, however, mouth gaping wide when she saw something she couldn't believe. The trash sixth prince was next to the Eight Prince. Furthermore, Zhou Lin appeared to be respectful towards him; walking 3 meters behind like a servant.

"Oh." Fengxian smiled seeing her. He said, "What a coincidence. So you sold your body to the guards here?"

"It's none of your business." She trembled hearing him. "Why? Are you jealous?"

"Me?"

Fengxian thought it was the most ridiculous statement he had ever heard. "Why do you think I'm jealous for not tasting dirty flesh?"

"You..." She gritted her teeth. She looked at the Eight Prince, but he merely looked at her with cold eyes. "I...I."

Fengxian shrugged and teased. "Tell me a good reason to spare you. Unless you wished to die?"

"You want to kill me? You...You..." She gripped her hand and told the Eight Prince: "My Prince, you heard that? He wanted to kill me...You promised me!"

The Eight Prince coldly replied: "Shut up, woman. You better speak now or else I'll behead you right here and now."

She was stunned. She was confused why the Eight Prince was acting weirdly. Furthermore, she could feel something was wrong with the usual cowardice of Sixth Prince, too. She gulped and her voice quaver: "I serve you with all I can for 10 whole years; Since I was 8, all I know was to work and work. Although you treated me well, Sixth Prince, all the people on the palace hated me; they hit me. I live the life of hell, I only wish freedom and happiness, but I couldn't find them. When Eight Prince promised me, I naturally agreed. Even if it means betraying you, I wanted a life where I'm free from abuse. Something you can't bestow me..."

As she said that, she lowered her head, sobbing. Fengxian looked at her silently, he sighed. He understood that the Eight Prince had lied to her. He turned around and waved his sleeve. "Wipe her memories and bring her from faraway lands. As I said, sometimes, I'm a merciful buddha. Your reason convinced me, you shall be spared."

Xianwu followed the instructions and acted swiftly. He knocked her unconscious and gently touched her forehead. After wiping her memories, he picked her up and bowed his head to Fengxian. "Your Majesty, I'll be back."

Fengxian nodded and looked at the rising sun. He smiled. Somewhere in the sky, the Sixth Prince materialized. He bowed his head, feeling grateful for Fengxian.

Fengxian merely smiled. This kid had long realized the pain and suffering of the woman he loved. Unfortunately, he didn't have the power to grant what she wanted. When he was possessing this kid's body, he was still breathing. The kid asked him to fulfill her goal in exchange for his body.

Thinking of that, he smiled. Although this kid lived a short life, he never abandoned her.

"Such a stubborn youth." Fengxian sighed as he stared at the sun. "Reminds me of my younger days. Unfortunately now, I will tread the path of blood and kill my way to the Outer Universe. Qingrou, I'll not show mercy once we met. No matter how obsessed I was with you before, this is a new epoch; a new life. I'll forget the past and focused on the future. When we met, I'll torture you for eternity. You'll know the reason why I had become the Archaic Crazed Demon Venerable to resurrect you, my dear wife..."

He shifted his gaze on the ground. He turned around and smirked.

He promised that he would abandon his previous identity.

However, sometimes you can't predict the future, for the circumstances changing rapidly...This time, he will make sure his name will be remembered for eternity. He will become the Demon once feared by all!
