Chapter 761 - Red Tyrant

”Why? What do you mean ʼwhyʼ? Donʼt you want to become the best demon sealer in the Nine Heavens?” Yan Hara looked at Yuan with wide eyes, almost as though she couldnʼt believe heʼd even ask such a thing.

And she continued, ”Although I may not be the best demon sealer or the best teacher out there, I am definitely a renowned demon sealer with vast experience. I even killed 3 real demons before. If you study under me, I can guarantee you that you will become a great demon sealer.”

”Only three demons?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

”A-Are you looking down on me?! Three demons may sound very little, but you must consider how demons are almost extinct! Most demon sealers nowadays have not even encountered one real demon, much less kill three!” Yan Hara could see a hint of disappointment in Yuanʼs gaze and quickly defended herself.

”S-Sorry, I didnʼt mean it…” Yuan quickly apologized when he realized that heʼd just been disrespectful to her.

Yuan was someone who had killed multiple demons, and his kill count was even higher than Yan Hara, which he didnʼt expect as a newbie.

However, just because he killed more demons than Yan Hara did not mean he had more experience than her, and upon realizing this, he gave it some serious thoughts.

ʼI will have to face 11 demons in the near future, so I should acquire as much experience as I can before then…ʼ

After thinking about it for a moment, Yuan eventually nodded his head and said, ”Okay, I will better myself as a demon sealer. However, I am not doing this because I want to become the next founder. I just want to be able to defeat demons if I ever come across them.”

Yan Hara, who had been a little dejected suddenly became elevated after hearing Yuanʼs words.

Even though he doesnʼt have the aspiration to become the next Divine Paragon, it was more than enough for her that he wanted to study under her since he might change his mind in the future.

”Great! Starting today, you are my disciple! Of course, it wonʼt be anything formal.” Yan Hara said with a bright smile on her face.

”I understand, Senior Yan.”

”Anyways, you had some questions, right? I can answer them now if you want.” Yan Hara said to him, not forgetting about his matters.

”Yes, I wanted to learn more about the Demonic Realm.” Yuan said.

”The Demonic Realm?” Yan Hara looked at him with a questioning gaze.

”Although that place hasnʼt been relevant ever since the Divine Paragon sealed it, I guess itʼs good to learn about its history.”

”Follow me, I will teach you everything you want to know about the Demonic Realm.”

Yuan nodded and followed Yan Hara to this room that gave off the atmosphere of a library. 

”Go wait over there for me. I will grab some ancient scrolls about the Demonic Realm.” Yan Hara pointed at an empty table in the room.

Yuan walked to the table and proceeded to wait for her.

A couple of minutes later, Yan Hara returned and placed a couple of scrolls on the desk.

”Alright, letʼs begin, shall we?”

”Yes.” Yuan nodded.

”Letʼs start with the beginning.”

Yan Hara placed a scroll before him and opened it.

”The Demonic Realm was created by a demon known as the Red Tyrant, who was one of the most powerful demons back in the Primordial Era.”

”After creating this Demonic Realm, the Red Tyrant made it his base, and it would quickly grow into a home for millions of demons.”

”Eventually, this Red Tyrant would be known as the Demon God, who ruled over all demons and even humans to a certain extent for thousands of years.”

After learning about the Demonic Realm and the Red Tyrant, Yuan asked, ”I heard multiple times that demons used to rule the Nine Heavens. What happened back then? How did demons even come into existence?”

”Nobody really knows how demons came into existence, but there is a legend about the first demon appearing from a massive void that suddenly opened up in the starry sky.”

”A void in the starry sky…?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

”There are also rumors that this demon was the Red Tyrant, hence why he was so powerful, as he is the first demon. Once this demon showed up, almost like ghosts, demons began appearing around the Nine Heavens, terrorizing the people there.”

”Since nobody knew about demons and how to defeat them, these demons quickly conquered the Nine Heavens with ease. Once that happened, humans were enslaved and became nothing more than playthings and food for these demons.”

”The demons drank their blood, consumed their meat, chewed their bones— all sorts of horrifying things. Fortunately, almost as though the heavens sent him during the Nine Heavensʼ darkest times, a certain individual created techniques that allow cultivators to finally fight back the demons, and that person was the Divine Paragon, Founder of the Demon Sealing Clan.”

”Although times have changed and it may not seem like it anymore, the Divine Paragon was more than just a hero to many people— he was a savior and god that saved the Nine Heavens.”

”I see…” Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.

ʼI have underestimated the Divine Paragon… Heʼs much more important and exalted than Iʼd expected…ʼ He sighed inwardly.

He knew the Divine Paragon was someone important, but he didnʼt think the Divine Paragon was such a bigshot in the Divine Heavens.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Fifth Heaven, the sky turned black, and a gaping hole appeared in the sky above the Fairy Paradise, shocking everybody there.

Eventually, the people in the Fairy Paradise noticed a figure had appeared from the hole, and they watched as this figure slowly descended.

Once this person had descended enough, the people in the Fairy Paradise could finally see this figureʼs appearance, and he was an old man with this unfathomable aura surrounding him.

”The Masterʼs presence lingers in this place…” The old man mumbled in a profound voice as he stared at the Fairy Paradise beneath him.
