The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 71: Parasitic Sky Demon

Ancient Battlefield of Heaven’s Chosen, First Layer.

Lu Ye was drenched in blood—of course, it was someone else’s blood.

Corpses were scattered across the ground in a mess of limbs and shattered remains.

Lu Ye’s hand gripped half a corpse, dragging it out of the vortex.

His blood-red eyes stared into that vortex.

Was there... someone on the other side?

Lu Ye’s primary consciousness tensed slightly, but honestly, it wasn’t that serious if he went out.

In the end, it was just fight, fight, fight, kill, kill, kill.

While slaughtering people, he refined their Nascent Souls. He wouldn’t have any issues with insufficient true essence either.

Lu Ye walked toward the vortex.

As long as there were living beings, he could go. His overwhelming thirst for blood constantly drove his soul forward.

Just as he was about to enter the vortex, Lu Ye suddenly paused.

He turned his gaze in another direction. The red light in his eyes flared violently.

"Boom!"

Lu Ye shot into the sky, flying northwest.

Because there—he sensed the presence of many living beings. Many, many!

At the vortex exit of the Demon Realm.

Vermilion Bird hid her aura with all her strength. She had a powerful secret art with excellent concealment properties—otherwise, there was no way she could’ve stayed under the eyes of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor back when she was weak without having her Vermilion bloodline discovered.

She just hoped Lu Ye wouldn’t be able to sense her either.

If so, she might still have the chance to imprint her name on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.

Of course, even if he did find her, it wouldn’t matter. She was right at the exit—if Lu Ye arrived, she would leave immediately.

He was too terrifying!

Vermilion Bird couldn’t help but feel awe. You could question anything about Lu Ye—but never his strength.

In their past life, he’d still had his struggles. But in this life, he was utterly invincible.

Forget people of the same realm—they didn’t even deserve to be called his opponents. Even if Lu Ye were a whole great realm lower, no one could defeat him.

At that moment, a little demon creature suddenly crawled out of the entry vortex.

The creature looked like it had only lived ten or twenty years at most. As for strength, merely at the Core Formation stage.

Vermilion Bird blinked in surprise. What was a little demon like this doing in the Heaven’s Chosen Ancient Battlefield?

The young demon stared blankly at Vermilion Bird too.

It scrutinized her closely but didn’t notice anything special.

"Hey, what are you doing coming to the Heaven’s Chosen Battlefield now? It’s incredibly dangerous here! Hurry and leave!"

Vermilion Bird’s philosophy was simple: just as there were good and bad humans, there were good and bad demons.

Lu Ye had once used the name of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor to massacre countless weak demons—he was a villain!

But the little demon didn’t react to her at all. Instead, it opened its mouth and let out a loud roar.

Vermilion Bird was startled and immediately lunged forward to cover its mouth. She had made a mistake. Demons weren’t just good or bad—there were also dumb and utterly stupid ones.

But then, a second young demon came through the vortex.

Vermilion Bird: ???

Then a third, a fourth, a fifth...

One after another, young demons—some still very juvenile—poured through the teleportation vortex like an erupting demon tide.

Vermilion Bird: ???

"What are you doing? Who {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} told you to come here? Go back! There’s a god of slaughter here! You’ll die if you stay!"

More and more demons continued to arrive.

The moment they entered, they began howling at the top of their lungs.

They were clearly trying to attract Lu Ye.

Some were even infants.

Vermilion Bird was on the verge of going mad. She no longer cared about exposing herself. She raised both hands and unleashed her demon power, forming a powerful shield in an attempt to block the teleportation vortex.

What the hell was happening?

Why were they coming here to die?

And in the very moment Vermilion Bird released her demon energy—all the little demons turned their heads and looked at her.

Their eyes lit up with hunger and greed.

Vermilion Bird!

It was Vermilion Bird!

"Don’t come in! Go back! If you enter, you’ll die!"

Vermilion Bird shouted at them furiously.

At that moment, a young wolf crept up behind Vermilion Bird and suddenly opened its jaws, biting down hard on her neck.

But it was far too weak. Even with the advantage of a sneak attack, it couldn’t break through Vermilion Bird’s defenses.

Vermilion Bird’s eyes filled with disbelief.

This young wolf... was attacking her?

With a gentle tremor of her body, the little wolf was sent flying.

Why?

Why?

“Ding!”

A dagger plunged into Vermilion Bird’s body with fierce, desperate force, trying with everything it had to wound her.

A group of little demons swarmed her, using weapons, teeth, and claws.

“Pfft!”

Vermilion Bird bled.

A strange aura surged from the wound and rapidly entered her body.

With a sharp, shrill cry, Vermilion Bird unleashed a shockwave that sent all the juvenile demons flying.

At the edge of the vortex, the young demons wore vicious, twisted expressions as they glared at her. Their eyes were so terrifying, even Vermilion Bird felt a deep chill run down her spine.

Then the young demons surged forward again, utterly unafraid of death.

Realizing they couldn’t hurt her, they began resorting to humiliation. They spat at her, hurled insults at her.

Some even threw their own filth at her.

Vermilion Bird’s expression went numb.

Those young demons—there was such malice in their eyes, a kind of malice they shouldn’t have possessed.

It was the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor.

It was the Blood-Dissolving Demon Scripture of All Spirits!

In that moment, Vermilion Bird’s mind buzzed with chaos.

She withdrew her power and stared at the countless juvenile demons pouring into the Heaven’s Chosen Ancient Battlefield like zombies.

They had stopped pretending. Almost every single one of them wore the same expression.

They were all fragments of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor.

Lu Ye... everything Lu Ye had said was true. He hadn’t lied to her in his past life.

Those demons he’d slaughtered—every last one—had already been part of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor. Even the weakest remaining demon, if parasitized by him, could bring his resurrection.

He hadn’t lied to her!

But... didn’t the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor cultivate the Blood-Dissolving Demon Scripture of All Spirits?

That technique didn’t contain anything like this!

This kind of terrifying ability... it would take a truly monstrous cultivation method to pull off...

She was wrong!

She had been completely wrong!

Vermilion Bird stared at the expectant, twisted faces of the approaching young demons.

In that moment, her tears fell like rain.

One of the young demons stepped before her, its eyes domineering and savage as it examined her.

“What technique did you cultivate? How can you do something like this?” Vermilion Bird shouted, her voice cracking with panic.

“You seem to know quite a lot about this emperor,” the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor spoke.

“The Blood-Dissolving Demon Scripture of All Spirits doesn’t even have this kind of divine power! What did you really cultivate?!”

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor paused.

“Blood-Dissolving Demon Scripture of All Spirits? That’s a good name. Hahaha, I didn’t even know my True Parasite Heaven Demon Art had a name like that. Hahaha...”

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor laughed madly.

Vermilion Bird froze.

True Parasite Heaven Demon Art?

True Parasite Heaven Demon Art?!

He was the Parasite Heaven Demon!!!

He was the Parasite Heaven Demon who had been battling Lu Ye in the Seventh Heaven!

Blood-Dissolving Demon Scripture of All Spirits—it had all been a lie!

A trap set by the Parasite Heaven Demon targeting her... and targeting Lu Ye!

The Parasite Heaven Demon was the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor. The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was the Parasite Heaven Demon.

He never needed to collect the blood of all spirits to increase his strength. Instead, he parasitized the owners of that blood and used them to aid his cultivation.

In that moment, blood-red light filled the sky.

Lu Ye... had arrived!
