Chapter 1209: Human and Demon Shadows

**Chapter 1210: Traces of the Human Demon**

Silver Moon was killed, Scarlet Cloud died, and Tu Luan also perished. Within just a few days, three Ancestor Kings had fallen, meeting their demise.

Their deaths were all attributed to one individual, and the name of the Human Race Saint Body spread like a hurricane across the Eastern Wasteland, Central Plains, and Southern Ridge.

Attacking Saints, instantly slaying Ancestor Kings, and battling ancient races—Ye Fan's name resonated throughout the world. By now, even ordinary mortals had heard of him.

"Is the Human Race Saint Body defying the heavens?" Even the Saints were stunned. In such circumstances, possessing a supreme immortal artifact like the Green Cauldron, one would normally prioritize evasion. Yet, he struck with the force of lightning, killing multiple Saints and going against the conventional wisdom.

"Another Ancestor King has fallen. He once ruled a region in ancient times, only to meet such an end." In the eyes of many wise figures, Ye Fan was too "savage." To possess such combat power before even becoming a Saint made many uneasy; he was like a malevolent spirit unleashed from the shackles of hell.

"Crack!" Inside the Hun Tian Clan's magnificent hall, an old man suddenly rose from his throne. The wine goblet, crafted from a Saint's skull, was crushed into pieces, spilling scarlet blood and wine across the floor.

This was a continuous mountain range, with the ancient, majestic hall standing atop a peak, piercing into the clouds.

The Hun Tian Clan was among the ten most powerful royal clans, with Saints possessing heaven-reaching abilities. Their prominent figures were naturally extraordinary, and the old man's crushed goblet had indeed been fashioned from a Saint's skull.

"Tu Luan is dead, carried away from the edge of our clan by the Human Race Saint Body. Did no one stop him?" "Find him! Whether it's his Green Cauldron or his head, I want it!" The old man roared like an enraged lion, and many mountains shattered in the aftermath.

The surroundings were silent. The clan's many strong individuals dared not breathe, all remaining still like small cats, listening to his reprimand.

"Interesting. Days have passed, and those old fogeys still haven't found the Human Race Saint Body. Instead, he's killed three Saints. I imagine some people must be furious now."

A gloating voice emanated from the ancient hall of the Shi Wang Clan (Beginning Royal Clan).

This was an unfathomably powerful great clan, unmatched by any except the Ancient Imperial Clans. It was known as the foremost royal clan in the world, even more formidable than the Hun Tian Clan or the Great Strength Ox Demon Clan.

"Investigate thoroughly! I want the Human Race Saint Body dead, and bring the Green Cauldron back to me!" The gloating voice eventually turned cold.

In the past, only the Silver Blood Royal Clan could compare with them, but unfortunately, this uncrowned royal clan declined and vanished into the dust of history.

"Scarlet Cloud was too incompetent. He was killed by the Human Race Saint Body before he could even send a message. My purpose in having him jump out was not achieved; he died in vain."

This was a sinister voice, belonging to the mastermind behind several agitated ancient kings. He had intended to set a trap for Ye Fan, but it hadn't gone as planned.

Currently, almost no one could break the Heaven-Deceiving Formation Patterns of Emperor Wu Shi. Even if they weren't flawless and had some imperfections, ancient Saints still couldn't fully grasp their mysteries.

Each time Ye Fan acted, he would seal off the mountains and rivers. When he killed Scarlet Cloud and Tu Luan, not a single trace of divine mystery was leaked, making it impossible to trace.

If Ye Fan had been there, he would have been greatly astonished, as this place originated from the Myriad Dragon Nest, home to two great Saints. Although the state of one Saint was very peculiar, sometimes alive, sometimes dead, and not widely acknowledged, it was still enough to shake the world.

A father and son both achieving Great Saint status was one of the most terrifying legends of the Primordial Era, shaking that period of time. Both attained the Dao successively, making their clan infamous.

"Wei Yi is watching the few Great Saints remaining in the world. Is he willing to fight? It's truly not wise to act rashly."

Inside the Myriad Dragon Nest, Great Saint Qian Lun admonished his grandson, the very powerful individual who had just spoken with the sinister voice.

"When will grandfather awaken?" The sinister voice spoke again.

"Perhaps soon, or perhaps never," Qian Lun replied.

"How astonishing grandfather was back then! He could rival the peerless divine being Di Que. Unfortunately, he was born two thousand years too late and couldn't achieve the Dao."

The speaker was Qian Lun's biological grandson, Lei Zhan, who had already become a Saint in the Primordial Era. He was a prodigious genius, far stronger than typical Ancestor Kings, and coveted the Green Cauldron.

"The Primordial Human Demon back then... was truly too powerful! He devoured suns and moons, shattered stars with his roars, and consumed many Ancestor Kings. Your grandfather, due to his carelessness, was struck by both Lunar and Solar Saint power. Anyone else would have long turned to dust," Great Saint Qian Lun said, his heart still trembling from the memory of the past.

The Primordial Human Demon of that era cultivated both Lunar and Solar Saint power, causing chaos in the lands and using the Saints of ancient races as blood sacrifices, terrifying all who knew of him.

If he hadn't been a god by day and a demon by night, often losing his sanity, who knows how many more would have died.

The two Great Saints from the Myriad Dragon Nest went to hunt him down and paid a heavy price. If it weren't for the crucial moment when they unleashed the Myriad Dragon Bell, an ancient imperial weapon capable of slaying gods, that battle would have had a different outcome.

"It's regrettable. Though we suppressed that Primordial Human Demon, we couldn't obtain the ancient scriptures of the Lunar and Solar arts!" Lei Zhan said, aggrieved.

His grandfather remains in a coma to this day, encased in a death cocoon due to the power of the Sun and Moon. It's uncertain if he will ever awaken.

They attempted to search the Human Demon's Sea of Consciousness but nearly caused it to explode. They were forced to seal him, intending to find another way, but unfortunately, Ye Fan ultimately took the Human Demon from the Myriad Dragon Nest.

"I wonder where that Human Demon is now; he remains a great threat..." Great Saint Qian Lun frowned. He wanted the Green Cauldron and also wished to capture Ye Fan alive to question him thoroughly.

Unfortunately, even if Ye Fan were willing to answer, there couldn't be a clear outcome.

After the Primordial Human Demon devoured Ancestor Alligator on the ancient planet of Yinghuo, fearing he would bring chaos to the world when in his demonic state, he banished himself into eternal exile, and no one knew where he was in the dark cosmos.

Qian Lun muttered to himself, "The fragmented Green Cauldron may not be as valuable as it once was, but in the hands of the Human Race Saint Body, it still makes me uneasy. After all, this is... the supreme sacred artifact of the Heavenly Court from ancient myths."

Outside, amidst a storm, Ye Fan's decisive slaying of Scarlet Cloud and Tu Luan left no one in the world daring to underestimate him. Even ancient Saints held him in immense awe.

To be able to slaughter Ancestor Kings without having achieved Saint status was a rare combat feat throughout history, prompting vigilance and caution among all.

The Human Race was greatly encouraged, and the various Holy Lands were also astonished. Regardless of whether they had previous ties or had been indifferent, they all immediately conveyed messages of goodwill.

As for the Four Symbols Holy Land and the Nine Heavens Holy Land, they were both filled with unease. The powerful mountain spirit, in particular, had gone into seclusion, not daring to reappear.

North winds swept the land, bending the white grass. Although snow hadn't yet fallen this season, a bone-chilling cold permeated the air. Ye Fan's forceful attacks led to the successive demise of three Saints, shocking the world.

Yet, even under these circumstances, some strong individuals continued to bluster, emitting highly hostile voices and adopting a condescending demeanor.

"The Green Copper Cauldron belongs to our Great Emperor, and the Human Race Saint Body is our blood meal!" The two Golden Crows were insufferably arrogant.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Imperial Prince became enraged, baring his fangs. He felt it necessary to take his large iron rod and smash those two arrogant Golden Crows to death.

"How infuriating! These two birds have been squawking for days. Truly shameless. Have they grown tired of living?!"

"They must have something to rely on; otherwise, how could they dare act like this?" Ye Fan mused.

He had once battled these two Golden Crows. At that time, he was inferior in cultivation and couldn't defeat the two ancient Golden Crows, but he still managed to protect himself.

Now, these same two Golden Crows were provoking him again, vowing to find him, drink his Saint blood, and treat it as the most delicious blood meal in the world. This was simply intolerable.

"Powerful figures from Fire Mulberry Star are arriving. It seems a prominent individual from the Golden Crow clan is crossing the cosmos to come here. That's why they're so audacious, waiting for us to walk into their trap," Dongfang Ye relayed this message, cautioning them.

This was naturally a major event, potentially affecting the balance of power in the Big Dipper Star Domain. Was that incredibly terrifying ancient life planet, predominantly inhabited by Golden Crows, about to bring its entire clan?

In recent days, many wise figures found those two Golden Crows displeasing, but none had moved to eliminate them, precisely because they were wary of their background.

"Is it true or false that there's a Great Emperor on Fire Mulberry Star?"

People were filled with suspicion and unease, speculating about the Golden Crow clan's true combat power.

"In ancient times, Fire Mulberry Star reached its peak of glory, producing a supreme Quasi-Emperor who swept across numerous star domains with no rivals. Has he achieved the Dao!?"

The thought of this possibility terrified everyone. If true, the Golden Crow clan would be absolutely invincible in the current cosmos.

This also explained why those two Golden Crows dared to be so strong. With such a background, what could they possibly fear?

"Could it be that the Golden Crow clan's supreme Quasi-Emperor hasn't passed away and has lived into this era, possibly appearing in the Big Dipper Star Domain?"

When this possibility was considered, even the ancient races felt a sense of suffocation. Such a Golden Crow clan would weigh on people's hearts like a mountain.

"I highly doubt it. The Golden Crow clan likely doesn't have a Quasi-Emperor anymore; he should have long since passed away. Many things happened back then. The Great Archer Yi's shooting down of the suns triggered a great turmoil, and nine of the ten Imperial Princes perished, with only one surviving. The 'Great Emperor' they speak of might be him, merely a hereditary title, and his cultivation might not have reached that level!"

Several of the strongest Sages from outside the domain, who had heard of Fire Mulberry Star and knew some events from that time, made this judgment.

"Our Golden Crow clan sweeps across heaven and earth, and we will advance fearlessly on the path to immortality!" The two Golden Crows declared, high-profile and sharp, determined to obtain the Green Copper Cauldron. This cauldron had a profound connection with their clan in ancient times, as nine Imperial Princes perished because of it.

"The scent of Saint blood... I seem to already smell it..." The two ancient Golden Crows murmured to themselves, a chilling smile on their faces. They had received news that a prominent figure from the Golden Crow clan had indeed arrived and was about to appear.

"Human Race Saint Body, you cannot escape!" On the sun, two golden figures streaked by, their voices booming, and the news naturally reached the ground.

Even the Black Emperor was enraged, saying, "Those damnable Golden Crows are too arrogant and presumptuous! This Emperor will go with you, kill those two birds, and we'll roast Golden Crow meat!"

"Of course, we need to eliminate them, but the Golden Crow army seems to be arriving. They've calculated the timing, waiting for us to walk into their trap," Ye Fan said, frowning.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened!" That day, a Golden Crow, covered in blood, flew in from beyond the domain, soaring directly towards the Sun Star, crying out in terror.

"What happened?" The two Saint-level Golden Crows' expressions changed. They flew to meet him, asking urgently.

"Uncle, a terrible disaster has occurred! We encountered a corpse in the cosmos that inexplicably awakened. It... it was practically a Human Demon! It intercepted our clan's powerful figures, and a fierce battle ensued."

"What was the outcome?" The two Golden Crow Saints were shocked. Someone dared to intercept a prominent figure of the Golden Crow clan... This was utterly terrifying.

"It was a Human Race expert. As soon as he attacked, he cleaved one of our clan's Saints in two, and then... he devoured him alive!" The Golden Crow's face was pale, and his body still trembled, as if he had experienced something incredibly horrifying.
