Chapter 1070 935 It was that day he transformed into

Chapter 1070: Chapter 935: It was that day, he transformed into a half-demon! Chapter 1070: Chapter 935: It was that day, he transformed into a half-demon! In those massive pupils of flame, the graceful and lonely woman stood, her only space for movement limited to the roughly four-meter-wide circle of the flame pupil.

Her white flame hair cascaded down her elegant back to her slender waist and curved hips. Her body was completely silver-white, and her face too, but one could tell that the White Nightmare Demon had taken the form of a woman of devastating beauty!

This visage Chu Mu had seen many times, or perhaps only glimpsed a few, as she always wore a thin, mysterious veil in the past.

Yet, even if he had truly seen her face only a few times, Chu Mu would never forget that heart-stirring beauty!

It was indeed Princess Jinrou!

Moreover, Chu Mu had seen the White Demon Princess before, and it was nearly identical to the White Nightmare Demon before him!

“Take a closer look,” Shen Mo said.

Chu Mu scrutinized her again, and after a moment, he furrowed his brows slightly as the White Nightmare Demon’s imitation of Bai Jinrou seemed more mature. Rather than a fair maiden, she resembled a young but beautifully mature woman!

“What… what is going on here?” Chu Mu asked in surprise, looking at the bewildered White Nightmare Demon.

Shen Mo glanced at his father, Shen Qiu, and upon seeing his nod, slowly explained, “She is not Bai Jinrou, but she bears a striking resemblance to her. You should be able to guess who she is, right?”

Chu Mu was momentarily startled, then it clicked, and he blurted out, “She’s Bai Jinrou’s mother?”

Shen Mo nodded, then continued, “This White Nightmare Demon has taken the form of Bai Jinrou’s mother, who was also her Soul Pet.”

“Then why is it sealed here?” Chu Mu asked, completely baffled.

Being Princess Jinrou’s mother meant she was the wife of the Demon Emperor Bai Yu, but why would he seal his wife’s White Nightmare Demon in such a place?

“This matter is somewhat taboo in our Nightmare Demon Palace. However, since you are acquainted with Bai Jinrou and will meet the Nightmare Demon Ancestor soon, I should give you some background,” Shen Qiu began.

“This White Nightmare Demon was the Soul Pet of Bai Yu’s wife, the former Queen Mu Menglian.”

“Mu Menglian,” Chu Mu repeated the name, committing it to memory.

“Queen Mu Menglian was from Mujia, in fact, she was King Mu’s granddaughter. If you’ve seen Little Princess Jinrou, then you would know Mu Menglian must have been an extraordinarily beautiful woman,” Shen Mo’s eyes lingered on the female magic shadow sealed within the flame pupil, his gaze becoming lost and wistful.

Chu Mu nodded. In terms of beauty, apart from the Defector Girl, he indeed had not seen a woman more stunning than Bai Jinrou. He believed that anyone who had truly seen both women’s appearance would place them at the same level of devastating allure, at least that was what Chu Mu himself thought.

“Queen Mu Menglian had an extraordinary Soul Pet Master talent, comparable to the current descendant of King Mu, Heavenly Consort Mu Qingyi. Thus, she was renowned throughout the Wanxiang Realm,” Shen Mo remarked.

“Many pursued Queen Mu Menglian, including Xiong Shou Yuan Sui, who was said to be infatuated with her. But ultimately, it was Demon Emperor Bai Yu who won her heart. Indeed, at that time Bai Yu’s own talent was quite outstanding, defeating Xiong Shou Yuan Sui on numerous occasions.”

“More than twenty years ago, our Nightmare Demon Palace suddenly faced a disaster. In our desperation, we initiated our ancient totem summoning formation to call the Nightmare Demon Ancestor from the Holy Land into our World, seeking his aid,” Shen Qiu recounted.

“However, the enemy was too powerful. Even though we managed to resolve the crisis, the Nightmare Demon Ancestor was gravely injured.”

“The Nightmare Demon Ancestor has the ability to devour White Nightmare Demons, strengthening himself by consuming others’ White Nightmare Demons. At the time, the Nightmare Demon Ancestor set his sights on Queen Mu Menglian’s White Nightmare Demon, the one that is sealed here.”

Hearing this, Chu Mu’s heart sank as well.

If the Nightmare Demon Palace had to summon the Nightmare Demon Ancestor to fight for them, there must have been a price to pay, and that price turned out to be the Queen Mu Menglian’s Soul Pet. Surely many conflicts must have happened here.

“The Nightmare Demon Ancestor needed Mu Menglian’s White Nightmare Demon as ‘food’ to recover, and the Nightmare Demon Palace absolutely could not do without him. At the time, all the Elders had to consider the greater good, planning to sacrifice the Queen’s Soul Pet…” Shen Qiu spoke, his eyes sinking in, his face filled with bitterness and regret.

“Mu Menglian herself was a Soul Pet Master; she wouldn’t agree to sacrifice her own Soul Pet, so she chose to refuse.”

“Thus, the Elders convened the highest council, pressuring Demon Emperor Bai Yu to have the Queen offer up her Soul Pet.”

“Originally, the Elders thought Demon Emperor Bai Yu would consider the interests of the entire Nightmare Demon Palace and advise the Queen to give up her Soul Pet. But to their surprise, Demon Emperor Bai Yu firmly refused to let his wife’s Soul Pet be sacrificed, even declaring ‘What use is a dying ancestor? Give me a few years and I, Bai Yu, will surpass it!'”

“`

“At that time, Bai Yu was merely an Invincible Emperor, and everyone from the older generation knew very well that stepping into the Dominator Level was not simply a matter of talent or strength. If Bai Yu hadn’t managed to move into the Dominator Level, then the entire Nightmare Demon Palace would have vanished completely without the protection of the Nightmare Demon Ancestor.”

“Therefore, in the end, the Elders resorted to coercion, capturing Demon Emperor Bai Yu and Queen Mu Menglian. They then forced Mu Menglian to offer her White Nightmare Demon. However, what none of the Elders expected happened!”

Chu Mu’s gaze remained fixed on Shen Qiu, watching his expression change continuously with his recollections.

“Everyone thought that the Nightmare Demon Ancestor would simply devour Mu Menglian’s White Nightmare Demon, but no one expected the Nightmare Demon Ancestor to suddenly change its mind and devour the highly talented Mu Menglian’s soul…” Shen Qiu spoke heavily.

“The Nightmare Demon Ancestor devoured the soul of Bai Jinrou’s mother!!” Chu Mu was suddenly horrified!!

Shen Qiu nodded gravely, his eyes murky as he said, “At that time, Demon Emperor Bai Yu had his Soul Sense sealed by the Elders, and then he could only watch helplessly as his wife was devoured by the Nightmare Demon Ancestor. I was right beside Demon Emperor Bai Yu at that time, watching him kneel on the ground, weeping and howling in pain. It was the first time I truly understood what heart-wrenching grief was…”

Demon Emperor Bai Yu, Chu Mu still vividly remembered the appearance of that proud and solitary king, whose eyes were so deep that one could not see into his heart.

But even without Shen Qiu’s description, Chu Mu could imagine the desperation and overwhelming grief of Demon Emperor Bai Yu, for Chu Mu had already witnessed this generation’s Demon Emperor with tears streaming down his face!

“That was the day he transformed into a half-demon!!”

After Shen Qiu finished recounting all of this, he appeared exceptionally heavy-hearted.

After listening, Chu Mu’s heart was relentlessly churning with shock!

Hatred, despair, pain! A half-demon itself vacillates among these three emotions, and Half-demon Bai Yu did not rise out of nowhere; he was entirely crafted by the hands of the past Elders of the Nightmare Demon Palace and the Nightmare Demon Ancestor!

This is probably the deepest disaster in the history of the Nightmare Demon Palace!!

“Before his slumber, he had to watch his wife’s soul devoured by a demon, leaving behind only a cold shell. Upon awakening, he found himself holding the corpse of his daughter, who had sacrificed her young life to awaken him…” Chu Mu murmured to himself, a wave of sorrow instantly filling his chest, making the air he breathed taste so bitter!

Originally, Chu Mu had seen the Demon Emperor shed the saddest of tears, regretfully, Chu Mu had only understood half.

If it were him waking up to find an almost identical woman lying in his arms, having closed her eyes forever, how could one endure that half of despair and heartbreak!

…

Chu Mu took deep breaths for a long time and still struggled to recover from that tear-inducing history.

He slowly turned his head to look at the vividly colored White Nightmare Demon that had been sealed for who knows how many years, and involuntarily thought of the princess: she stood quietly on the deck, her long hair and robe fluttering in the sea breeze, her clear eyes revealing an unreadable, faint sadness. She was incomparably beautiful, yet no one could penetrate into her inner world…

“Why is it sealed here?” Chu Mu asked.

“After losing its Master, it burned its Master’s body and then always maintained its Master’s appearance, sneaking into the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land.”

“The Elders realized their grave mistake, so they released Mu Menglian’s White Nightmare Demon here without further ado. But later, the Elders discovered that for ten whole years, this White Nightmare Demon never ceased in its quest for revenge for its Master. Consequently, we had no choice but to seal it here,” Shen Qiu said slowly.

“Actually, every few years, Jinrou would come here, accompanied by some guards,” added Shen Mo.

“Since the Nightmare Demon Ancestor is close to death, why not release it to fulfill its desires.” Chu Mu said.

Shen Qiu and Shen Mo clearly hesitated, with Shen Qiu saying, “Its strength is now nearing the Dominator Level, and if we were to release it, with its resentment, it would surely disturb the peace of our entire Nightmare Demon Palace. Moreover, aren’t we currently seeking a way to prolong the life of the Nightmare Demon Ancestor? How can we let him die just like that.”

“Let that old fellow die,” Chu Mu said. “He’s already lived for over a thousand years.”

The principal criminal who caused this tragedy was naturally the Nightmare Demon Ancestor, so Chu Mu indeed had no good feelings for the Nightmare Demon Ancestor.

“Uh… We are currently in conflict with the Soul Covenant, and without the Ancestor, what bargaining chip do we have to defeat the Soul Covenant?” Shen Qiu said somewhat awkwardly.

If someone else had spoken like this, Shen Qiu would have accused him of being disrespectful.
