Chapter 343: Revealing Identities
Half an hour later, under the guidance of the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor, Sun Zhe crossed most of the Golden Radiance Forest and arrived at a very ordinary courtyard. Looking at the extremely plain quadrangle courtyard before him, Sun Zhe couldn't help but furrow his brow. Could the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor really live in a place like this?
Although Sun Zhe was not clear on how many Yao Ancestors there were in the entire demon realm, he knew that the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor was the oldest among them. Other Yao Ancestors held him in great respect, but after all, Yao Ancestors were figures at the pinnacle level. Even Sun Zhe couldn't quite grasp what they specifically thought; perhaps he simply preferred to live here.
"Elder Yaozu, the Azure Dragon has arrived."
Just as Sun Zhe was pondering, the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor stepped forward and respectfully called out to the courtyard, clearly indicating that the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor indeed resided here.
"Has he come? Let him in..."
An aged voice echoed slowly from within the courtyard, like an ancient melody of vicissitudes that could calm everyone's chaotic thoughts.
"Black Fiend Demon Emperor, since Elder Yaozu has given orders, I will not accompany you inside."
The Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor only allowed Sun Zhe to enter and did not intend for him to join. Although the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor ruled over the entire Azure Dragon Demon Domain, he did not dare to overstep in front of the owner of this courtyard. The hierarchy was clear, and in this demon realm where strength was paramount, it felt even more solemn.
"Thank you for your guidance along the way, Azure Dragon Demon Emperor. If there is a chance in the future, I will surely visit the Azure Dragon Demon Domain!"
Taking a deep breath, Sun Zhe tried to clear his mind of distractions. With a flick of his sleeve, he stepped into the courtyard. Since things had come to this point, he had no other choice; whether ahead lay a mountain of blades or an inferno, he had to move forward.
"Creak..."
Gently pushing open the large door of the courtyard, a spacious yard appeared before Sun Zhe. It looked no different from an ordinary family's courtyard, and it was exceptionally clean inside. The ground was spotless, clearly maintained regularly. The entire courtyard exuded a sense of tranquil leisure.
"You have come..."
The same voice echoed in Sun Zhe's ears once again. Sun Zhe looked up and was surprised to find an elderly man, over seventy years old, lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard. Dressed in a gray robe, he appeared to be just an idle old man. The elder was smiling at him, and his murky eyes revealed an indescribable aura of vicissitudes, as if he had been sculpted by the years of immortality.
For some reason, upon seeing those eyes, Sun Zhe felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity deep in his heart, as if he had seen them somewhere before. However, at that moment, Sun Zhe dared not think too much and immediately bowed his head in greeting.
"Black Shaman pays respects to Elder Yaozu."
Although the old man before him seemed to exude no aura whatsoever, Sun Zhe did not dare to be careless. It is known that individuals who reach the Realm of the Ancestor Deity possess profound abilities; some extraordinary Divine Abilities were far beyond his imagination. The spiritual power within him had long since transformed into demonic power, swirling and emanating a thick demonic aura that enveloped his entire being.
At this point, he could only take a gamble. As long as the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor could not discern that he was not a member of the demon race, everything else would not be a problem.
"Black Shaman? Aren't you called Sun Zhe?"
A faint voice came from the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor. Looking at the aged face with a half-smile expression, Sun Zhe inexplicably felt a sense of unease. His expression became slightly awkward as he replied,
"Sun Zhe is indeed my name; however, I have not used it for many years. After reaching the Demon Lord realm, I have been known as Black Shaman. I did not expect Elder Yaozu's Divine Ability to be so vast that you even know this."
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's response, the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor nodded slightly, seemingly accepting Sun Zhe's explanation. He then continued to ask,
"Where were you born? What kind of demon beast is your true form?"
Sun Zhe's body suddenly stiffened. The biggest difference between him and other beings in the demon realm was that he could not transform into his true form for battle. This was also why no one in the vast Black Shaman Domain had ever seen him fight in his true form. Although others might interpret it as him being so powerful that he did not need to fight in his true form, facing this elder, Sun Zhe knew he could not hide anything at all.
"You came to see me, but why did you send only a clone? Where is your true self?"
As Sun Zhe pondered how to respond, the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor dropped another bombshell. Upon hearing this, waves of shock surged through Sun Zhe's mind. His greatest trump card was that he had another clone; even if this killing clone were to die, his true self still had the potential to continue growing. However, he never expected that the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor would see through him so easily.
Unconsciously stepping back a few paces, Sun Zhe's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a torrent of Killing Intent erupted from within him. He finally understood that this Yao Ancestor had undoubtedly discovered his secret; otherwise, he would not have continuously probed his weaknesses. If Sun Zhe were still lost in his own delusions at this moment, he would truly be a fool.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Zhe exerted all his effort to calm himself down. Looking at the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor, who showed no intention of attacking, Sun Zhe shed any semblance of humility and fixed his gaze ahead, slowly asking,
"I wonder how Yao Ancestor plans to deal with me?"
With interest, the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor glanced at Sun Zhe, seemingly surprised that he could remain composed. A hint of a smile appeared on his gaunt face as he slowly stood up from his chair, hands clasped behind his back. His murky eyes looked at Sun Zhe as he spoke with a smile,
"Why not call your other clone over? I'm quite interested in him. Of course, you can choose not to comply; you might not care about the Black Shaman Domain, but you should care about that Vermilion Bird. You're a smart person; some things you should understand without me having to spell them out."
The Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor's words were very calm, but to Sun Zhe's ears, they sounded like the call of death. In the entire demon realm, Jingjing was his only weakness. He could disregard the vast power he had accumulated over four hundred years, but he could not ignore Jingjing's life. Coldly staring at the seemingly ordinary old man before him, Sun Zhe clenched his fists tightly. Only now did he truly understand the feeling of being utterly powerless.
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight back; rather, he couldn't muster even a trace of Earth Power in this entire space. Even his own spiritual energy was difficult to mobilize. Without Earth Power, he didn't even have the strength to fight back against the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor, who had reached the Realm of the Ancestor Deity.
After a moment of silence, a trickle of black divine power surged into his right palm. Sun Zhe forcefully swiped his right hand through the air, and a black rift suddenly appeared before him. Summoned by the essence of his being, a shadow enveloped in purple light slowly emerged from the void—a dazzling figure with long purple hair radiating an aura of immense nobility: it was another Sun Zhe.
"Although I am not from the demon realm, Jingjing is indeed a descendant of the Vermilion Bird Clan. I hope you will not harm him!"
The two clones gazed simultaneously at the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor. Although both clones were extraordinary in their own right, they felt utterly powerless against this gray-clad old man. The phrase "ants beneath Pangu Ancestor" was a bloody truth; even Sun Zhe could not resist it.
"Well, not bad. The Thunder Law and Divine Thunder Law have perfectly fused together. Although it's only at the mid-stage of Divine Realm, its true power is already comparable to the late stage of Divine Realm. Buddy, are you still missing the other three supreme thunders? Demon Thunder, Demon Thunder, and Killing Thunder. It's not an easy task to condense these three types of Thunder Law. Back then, that old guy, the Thunder God Emperor, didn't achieve this goal either..."
The Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor did not answer Sun Zhe's question. Instead, he stared with great interest at Sun Zhe's Thunder Clone, and a hint of admiration appeared on his face.
"You..." Upon hearing the words of the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor, Sun Zhe was momentarily taken aback. He had received the inheritance of the Thunder God Emperor. Could it be that this Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor also knew the Thunder God Emperor? The secrets of the five thunders were not known to ordinary people; it was also after countless years of exploration that the Thunder God Emperor derived the Thunder Path. Such secrets were not something just anyone could know.
"Buddy, can't you recognize me? Back in the Nine Continents, in the Endless Abyss, I gave you a great fortune. Have you forgotten me so soon?" Seeing the astonished expression on Sun Zhe's face, a playful smile emerged at the corner of the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor's mouth as he spoke slowly.
"You... you are that Altar Guardian... that Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast..."
Sun Zhe's body suddenly shook, his eyes filled with disbelief. In an instant, he connected all the dots. Looking into those familiar eyes, filled with an intense aura of Vicissitudes, he realized that such eyes could only be seen in the presence of the Old Domain Master or on that Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity as soon as he entered.
Golden Horn Thunder Beast... Unicorn Divine Beast... Sun Zhe suddenly understood that what he encountered back then was probably not an ordinary Unicorn Divine Beast, but rather a Golden Horn Thunder Beast that had already reached the Realm of the Ancestor Deity. It just had not taken human form at that time.
Everything was completely beyond Sun Zhe's expectations. He never thought that what was originally a certain death situation would turn into this scene, nor did he expect to meet this old man again in this demon realm.
"Calm and composed, with feelings and loyalty... Old buddy, it seems you've chosen your successor quite well..." Watching the rapid changes in Sun Zhe's expression, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor.
