Three days later.
Nightfall.
"Brother Yue, this mountain is where the Heavenly Devil Cave is located, Night Devil Peak."
At the foot of a towering mountain, Tenmoni, who was dressed in a black and gold robe and had his hands behind his back, said to Ye Fan beside him.
Behind him stood the four Devil World Guardians, who were purple, white, gold, and green.
Yu Moji was among them!
She had already changed into a purple robe. Her beautiful eyes were bright, and her skin was as white as jade. She looked like a fairy from the heavens.
The Four Protectors of the Devil World were: Purple Protector Yu Moji, White Protector Yan Mosheng, Gold Protector Feng Mochen, and Green Protector Water Demon Ling.
Usually, the four Guardians wore casual clothes. Today, they were accompanying Devil Lord Tenmoni to send Eldritch's reincarnation, Ye Fan, to Night Devil Peak. Naturally, they had to wear formal clothes and did not dare to be rude.
"Night Devil Peak," said the white-robed Ye Fan calmly as he looked up at the mountain in front of him.
This mountain was completely different from the other mountains he had seen.
This mountain was pure black, and its walls were thousands of feet tall. It was like a treasured sword that pierced through the clouds!
What was even more inconceivable was that there was no vegetation on this mountain. Countless dazzling red lights shone out from the gaps between the mountain rocks, like vermillion and blood!
The entire mountain was black and red, and it looked extremely strange!
"The Heavenly Devil Cave is at the peak of this mountain." Tenmoni turned to look at Ye Fan. "Brother Yue, those who wish to enter the Heavenly Devil Realm have to walk Night Devil Peak alone. This is as far as I can send you. The rest of the journey will depend on you. "
As Tenmoni spoke, he reached out and patted Ye Fan's shoulder.
"Brother Devil, four Devil Envoys, I'll be going now," said Ye Fan as he cupped his fists and bowed to Tenmoni and the four Devil Envoys behind him.
The four Devil Envoys nodded in return.
Yu Moji, who was dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, looked straight at Ye Fan. Her eyes flickered with worry and tenderness.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for her to instruct Ye Fan in private. She could only pray for Ye Fan in her heart.
"Brother Yue, I'll be waiting for your good news." Tenmoni smiled at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded and glanced at Yu Moji. He then turned around and stepped onto the Night Demon Peak.
In this Night Devil Peak, apart from the Devil Realm's Supremes, everyone's cultivation and spiritual energy were completely useless. If one wanted to reach the Heavenly Devil Cave, they could only climb up one step at a time!
Sizzle … Just as Ye Fan's hands touched the black mountain rock, a faint wisp of green smoke immediately rose from his palms!
The mountain rocks on Night Demon Peak were extremely hot. They were scalding hot to the touch, and the places where the red light was emitting were incomparably hot!
Ye Fan furrowed his brows but did not utter a single word. He continued to climb upwards.
"Chi … Chi … Chi …"
With every step Ye Fan took, there would be a scalp-numbing sound.
As she listened to the rising and falling sounds and watched Ye Fan climb up the Night Demon Peak, Yu Moji bit her lower lip and turned her head away. She could not bear to look at him.
With his hands behind his back, Tenmoni looked up at Ye Fan and asked the Flame Demon behind him, "Flame Demon, how long did it take you to climb Night Demon Peak?"
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, three days." The Flame Demon behind Tenmoni replied.
"Demon Bell, what about you?" Sky Moni asked Water Demon Bell, who was dressed in green and had an unparalleled beauty.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, it took me five days." Water Demon Bell replied in a lively and pleasant voice.
"If I remember correctly, Demon Concubine took two days and Demon Vassal took four, right?" Tenmoni tilted his head slightly and asked.
"Yes, Demon Lord." Yu Moji lowered her head and replied.
"Yes, Demon Lord." The golden-robed Demon Vassal nodded and replied.
"I let the four of you absorb the Night Demon Peak's spiritual energy separately in the Sky Demon Cave and did not allow you to enter the Demon Pool. Now, I'm allowing Eldritch to enter the Demon Pool." Tenmoni turned around and smiled at the four of them. "Don't you think it's a little unfair?"
"We wouldn't dare!" When the four of them heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and replied in fear and trepidation.
Just as Tenmoni said, although the four of them were allowed to climb Night Demon Peak, they were forbidden from entering the Five Great Demon Pools. They were only allowed to absorb the Night Demon Peak's spiritual energy in the Sky Demon Cave.
After descending the mountain, Tenmoni taught the four of them secret techniques according to their aptitudes and characteristics, and named them the Four Guardians of the Demon Realm.
"It's not that I don't want you to enter the Demon Pool. With your current foundation, once you enter the Demon Pool, you will be devoured by the Demon Consciousness." Tenmoni said. "In the Demon Realm, the four of you have the highest aptitudes. I can't let you take the risk. When your Demon Souls reach a certain level, I will fulfill your wish and let you enter the Demon Pool."
Crash … The four of them knelt on the ground.
"We thank you for your concern, Demon Lord!" The four of them replied in unison.
"Rise." Tenmoni turned around and continued to look at Ye Fan.
At this time, Ye Fan had climbed nearly a thousand feet. Looking from the ground, only his white robe and silver hair could be seen.
"Demon Lord, there's something that we don't understand." The beautiful Water Demon Bell in green opened her mouth and said to Tenmoni, "Mr. Eldritch's cultivation was indeed heaven-defying and unparalleled. However, he has now reincarnated as a human. Compared to his previous life, the difference between his cultivation and that of his previous life is like the difference between heaven and earth. Furthermore, he is now only in the form of a Primordial Spirit. If we let him climb Night Demon Peak and enter the Demon Pool under these conditions, wouldn't we be giving his life away for nothing? Please enlighten us. "
"You think too simply of Mr. Eldritch," Tenmoni said meaningfully as he looked at Ye Fan climbing Night Demon Peak.
This sentence seemed to be said to the four of them, but also seemed to be said to himself.
Water Demon Bell and Feng Mo Chen beside her looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion …
On Night Demon Peak, the determined Ye Fan used both his hands and feet to climb the steep cliff step by step.
At this time, his hands were covered in blisters from the scalding mountain rocks and were badly mutilated.
However, he could not stop.
Because once he stopped, the terrifying heat would continue to spread from the mountain to his hands. Not only would that waste time, but it would also worsen the injuries on his hands!
However, if he continued to climb like this, his hands would not be able to hold on for long!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan tore off two large pieces of cloth from his white robe and used his teeth to wrap his hands in several layers.
Before reaching the peak, nothing must happen to his hands!
Because this devil mountain was able to suppress all kinds of supernatural powers, Ye Fan started to sweat profusely after climbing two thousand feet. He was panting heavily.
Ye Fan, who had long been used to traveling like the wind and riding the clouds, now felt the fatigue and hardship that he had not felt in a long time.
He lowered his head to look at his feet, then looked up at the peak. Gritting his teeth, he continued to climb.
As he climbed, he recalled the bits and pieces of his interactions with his wife.
Yu Moji had once told him about climbing Night Demon Peak in the past, and also imparted to him the bitter experience of climbing.
She told Ye Fan that the hardest part of climbing Night Demon Peak was not the physical strength, nor was it the physical pain, but the loneliness and despair.
To overcome this loneliness and despair, one must have the strength to persevere in one's heart.
It was either a concern, a wish, a choice, or hatred.
In short, to successfully reach the peak, one must have a strong motivation as support.
There were many people who climbed Night Demon Peak in the Demon Realm, but those who could successfully reach the peak were rare.
Most people's willpower would collapse halfway through the climb, the pain would overwhelm their hearts, and they would be mentally and physically exhausted. In the end, they would fall from the Night Demon Peak, their primordial spirit scattered and turned into ashes!
Back then, Yu Moji climbed Night Demon Peak so quickly because she kept thinking that Eldritch would be able to bring her out of the Demon Realm in the future!
With this belief, she used two days to reach the peak of Night Demon Peak, becoming the fastest person in the Demon Realm aside from the Demon Venerables!
Meeting on Mount Azure Cloud, roasting rabbits in the cave, getting along in the ancestral home, detoxifying the poison in Lingyun Cave …
Ye Fan began to recall all the scenes of him and his wife from knowing each other to knowing each other, from loving each other to parting.
Gradually, Ye Fan was immersed in his endless longing for his wife.
He forgot about the pain all over his body, forgot about the blisters on his hands, forgot about the scorching rocks under his feet, forgot about his cracked lips.
However, after forgetting all these, some other things became even clearer!
He couldn't forget the mocking gaze Zhou Dao had when his beloved wife lost her memories; he couldn't forget Incheon Daxiong's sinister smile when he ambushed him and succeeded in his scheme; he couldn't forget Xiao Zhao's resolute and fearless feelings when she spat out her inner core for him; he couldn't forget the scene of Qing Chenzi's hair turning white in order to help him; he couldn't forget Akatsuki who sacrificed herself to save him …
As all these emotions surged into his heart, Ye Fan instantly felt that his heart was filled with strength!
His starry eyes focused, and he began to speed up!
Below Ye Kong, a white figure quickly ascended Night Demon Peak …
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the peak of Night Demon Peak, Ye Fan, who was covered in wounds and rags, used his charred hands to grab onto a giant rock on the peak of Night Demon Peak. Using all the strength in his body, he slowly dragged his exhausted and nearly unconscious body up.
Yu Moji used two days to successfully reach the peak of Night Demon Peak, but Ye Fan only used one night!
He sprawled out on top of the mountain, gasping for air.
At this moment, his face was dirty, and his clothes were almost completely tattered. He was even more unkempt than a beggar!
"Hehehe …" Ye Fan who was lying on the peak laughed foolishly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
He had finally succeeded in reaching the peak of Night Demon Peak!
There was only one thing left for him to do, and that was to enter the demonic path!
Ye Fan clenched his teeth and forced his exhausted body to climb up from the stone platform. His body swayed as he walked towards the cave in the middle.
Although it was called a cave, it was more accurate to call it a crevice.
This crevice was about seven feet high and one foot wide. It could barely accommodate a person.
Black, red, green, blue, and yellow, five colored lights gently shot out from the crevice, looking extremely mysterious.
It seemed like this was the Heavenly Devil Cave that Tenmoni had mentioned.
