Chapter 2869: The Ancient Demon Submits

Ye Liuyun now also began to use his Golden Pupil to observe the changes in the ancient demon Soul within the black water pool.

The ancient demon at this moment was rising upward, quickly surfacing, exposing its head and gazing toward Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Demon Beast, giant demon tribe, Demon Race half-beast, Demon Cultivator, and also a purified evil demon. Who exactly are you, and how did you obtain our Demon Race's Nine Nether Prelude?" the ancient demon asked directly of the duplicate.

He also could not understand how these people had gathered, but evidently the Nine Nether Prelude had no effect on it.

"Within my Space World, there are two hundred thousand Demon Race troops, tens of millions of Demon Race and half-beast, and countless Demon Beasts!" the duplicate continued.

"Oh?" the demon found it unbelievable, somewhat unwilling to believe.

So, Ye Liuyun directly summoned ten thousand Demon Race soldiers for him to see, then immediately withdrew them.

The ancient demon remained silent for a good while before saying to the duplicate: "Your Nine Nether Prelude can affect me somewhat, but it cannot control me.

The Demon Qi in this pool all originated from the Qi of some great Demon Race masters long ago; even though you possess Buddha Light Power and Black Light, if I go all out against you, you won't gain any advantage. Your Formation cannot withstand my full-force strike.

I say this not to threaten you, but to discuss terms. I can give you the Primordial Power here, and you may draw away one‑third of the Demon Qi in this pool.

My condition is that I and the remaining pool must enter your Space World and be placed together with the Demon Race. The remaining Demon Qi may only be absorbed by the elite of pure Demon Race and Demon Beasts.

Also, find me a Physical Body of a giant demon tribe so I can be revived and lead the Demon Race.

The duplicate, upon hearing this, immediately retorted: "Entering my Space World means you will be under my control. I can accept your condition, but if you are already controlled by me, what does governing the Demon Race achieve?" Biquku

The demon explained: "It's different. I am controlled by you, but who knows which Demon Race will rise in the future? I seek the flourishing of the Demon Race; as for my own life or death, do you think I would care?

If I only cared about myself, I would never have sacrificed myself to this demon pool. This pool was created when the Archaic World shattered, I

and we left a sliver of hope. At that time, to preserve the Demon Race's legacy, some strong ones offered their power to build it.

And I even offered my Soul, guarding here for countless years, awaiting another chance to revitalize the Demon Race.

"Very well, I accept!" the duplicate said calmly.

"You go straight into his Sea of Consciousness and let him control you; I am his duplicate." the duplicate said, pointing at Ye Liuyun.

"Alright!" the ancient demon replied, its massive Soul rushing toward Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as it entered Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, it was enveloped by the Golden Light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command. The Ten Thousand Gods Command is now even stronger, its Golden Light far richer than before.

Ye Liuyun immediately performed a Soul Search on it; if it tried any trick to deceive Ye Liuyun, he would destroy it on the spot.

But what Ye Liuyun did not expect was that the ancient demon was indeed telling the truth; it had no other intentions, merely a simple desire to revive the Demon Race.

"It seems that even among the Demon Race, there are all kinds of characters."

Ye Liuyun sighed, placed a Slave Seal on that demon, then learned about the Primordial Power of this Secret Realm and released it.

The others, upon seeing Ye Liuyun release the ancient demon's Soul, also appeared somewhat surprised.

Because Ye Liuyun released it, that proved his words were true. They had not expected the ancient demon to be truthful; they all thought it would play some trick.

Afterward, both sides began to fulfill their promises. The duplicate dug a vacant plot in the Demon Race's territory and moved the ancient demon's Soul and two‑thirds of the demon water into it.

Hatu was then asked to find an unworthy giant demon to serve as the ancient demon's Physical Body.

After the ancient demon was settled, Ye Liuyun and the others directly entered the black water pool and began absorbing it joyfully. How much each could absorb depended on their absorption speed.

The demon water, though only one‑third remaining, was still enough for them to absorb. A Xing and Lin Feier had to come out repeatedly to cultivate and consolidate the Demon Qi they had taken in before continuing. The Tiger-Head Beast King and Black Mountain also took a break once.

Ye Liuyun and the duplicate, while absorbing, continuously transformed it with Buddha Demon Power and did not need to rest.

Magic Vine, Lei Ming, nine-headed demon dragon, Demon Lion

, Hatu and these pure‑blood Demon Race Demon Beasts needed no interruption; they stayed inside until all the Demon Qi was completely drained.

Then these individuals successively broke through. Magic Vine's realm broke first, directly advancing to Return to First and Second Layers. Lei Ming and the nine-headed demon dragon's realms rose again, both breaking through to Sovereign Eightfold.

The Tiger-Head Beast King also accumulated enough to break through to Sovereign Seventh Layer. The others did not break through, but Black Mountain was close to doing so.

"No wonder the ancient demon demanded that the remaining Demon Qi be given only to pure‑blood Demon Race and Demon Beast elites; they absorb it most efficiently!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

The Tiger-Head Beast King and Black Mountain also improved, but not by much. The Demon Cultivator only enhanced his attribute power. Even he himself only had stronger Buddha Demon Power, which did not affect his realm.

Ye Liuyun first gathered them all into the Space World, then went to subdue the Primordial Power here.

He first removed the demon‑warding stones around the pool. The Primordial Power lay beneath those stones, now no longer dangerous. He gave those stones to Tong Xin and Qiong Qi, asking them to devise weapons lethal to the Demon Race.

However, after Ye Liuyun and the others located the Primordial Power here, he was stunned.

The Primordial Power here differed from the one he had previously harvested; even its color was not as bright, but a grayish Primordial Power.

He immediately contacted Ye Ling, but Ye Ling was also helpless with this kind of Primordial Power. She could only communicate with Primordial Power of the spiritual‑energy attribute, and this one she could not communicate with.

Having no choice, Ye Liuyun tried to communicate with the Primordial Power himself, but it immediately rejected him. He gave a wry smile and kept grinding against it. Biquku

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Gods Command suddenly burst forth Golden Light, shooting into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness and illuminating the Primordial Power. The Primordial Power instantly changed its mind and agreed to be harvested by Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun asked the Ten Thousand Gods Command and the Primordial Power how they communicated, but they ignored him.

"Alas!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, could only press his forehead and seize control of the Primordial Power, then took command of the entire Secret Realm.
