Chapter 1082: Discussing the Dao, Demon Infant (Four Updates)
Thump thump thump!
Ye Feng stepped out of the secluded courtyard and stood on the bluestone pavement of Yuhua Street. His gaze calmly swept around before finally resting on the Demon God standing in the middle of the street.
"Do you, as a Demon God, really think you are invincible? Next, this dog emperor will show you that even when hitting a dog, you must look at its master's face!"
Big Yellow Dog ran out from the courtyard, standing beside Ye Feng, its wounds already fully healed.
Ye Feng's osmanthus cake had miraculous effects.
With just one bite, the Big Yellow Dog healed its injuries.
On the street.
Ye Feng stood there quietly, not emitting any strong aura; he looked nothing more than a mortal to any observer.
The Demon God stared at Ye Feng, his pupils shrinking rapidly.
The many Cultivators and Great Demons present held their breaths as well, feeling that Ye Feng was terrifying.
A person who keeps a Fifth Realm dog emperor, no matter how weak they appear, couldn't possibly be weak.
Their inability to see through Ye Feng only indicated that his strength surpassed everyone's perception.
"Master Ye!"
Wild Boar, King Cobra, and over a hundred Great Demons from the valley immediately ran to Ye Feng's side, their eyes filled with excitement.
Mother Yu Jie had passed away.
But, Ye Feng was still here.
Although they could not grasp the depths of Master Ye Feng's strength, they could guess that he was very powerful.
Following by Ye Feng's side, they could be invincible!
"Over the years, you all have been living well," Ye Feng spoke slowly, looking at the Demon God. "Are you the Demon God?"
"Indeed!" The Demon God stepped forward.
"Why do you strike against this world?" asked Ye Feng.
"Since the day I was born, I had a goal, which was to push across this world, strip countless beings of their lives, and ultimately, forge this land into a sacred world bathed in demonic flames," the Demon God cackled.
This was his lifelong dream.
From the moment of birth, it was deeply ingrained in the depths of his brain, and unless he died, he would never cease.
Ye Feng said, "In this world, every creature has the instinct and the right to live, which you cannot deprive them of."
The Demon God snorted, "What if I do want to deprive them?"
Ye Feng replied, "Then I can only deprive you of your life."
The Demon God immediately burst into uproarious laughter and said,
"Want to kill me? Although you might be a hidden Immortal, at best, you are still of the same Fifth Realm as me. And within the same Realm, no one can kill me."
Big Yellow Dog rebuked, "My master can kill you in the flick of a finger, you little demon brat, don't get cocky!"
The Demon God looked towards Big Yellow Dog, sneering, "You're just a dog relying on human power. In a one-on-one fight, I could kill you."
Big Yellow Dog was so angry that smoke seemed to come from its nostrils, and it could only roar, "I dare to eat shit, do you?"
At these words, everyone subconsciously stepped back three paces.
Even the Demon God's eyes widened, not knowing how to refute Big Yellow Dog's words.
"Demon God, do you truly not know remorse?" Ye Feng asked again, a playful look in his eyes.
"What do I have to repent for? The moment I, the Demon God, was born, I was imbued with the nature to destroy you all; it's inherent, so what do I have to repent for?" the Demon God sneered.
"You are wrong!" Ye Feng shook his head, "Man at his birth is naturally good. Your demonic nature is something that has been imposed upon you."
"Nonsense!" the Demon God shook his head repeatedly, refusing to be brainwashed by Ye Feng, "Man's nature at birth is evil!"
"No, it is good!" Ye Feng stated firmly.
"Don't try to brainwash me, I won't listen! In a moment, I will annihilate you all and create a sacred world for the Demon Race!" the Demon God brandished the Square Sky Halberd, speaking coldly.
"Demon God, since you do not know remorse, then I shall have to make a move myself, hoping that you can be reforged and become a good person," Ye Feng said, shaking his head in resignation.
It seemed his Cultivation was still insufficient, as he was even unable to persuade the Demon God.
"I will kill you!" the Demon God sneered.
He wielded the Square Sky Halberd, slashing fiercely toward Ye Feng, with such speed that he reached the area just above Ye Feng in the blink of an eye, less than ten feet separating them.
Ye Feng didn't dodge but merely waved his hand gently.
Swish!
A peach tree by the side of the street trembled slightly, and a branch extended rapidly, wrapping around the Demon God and rendering him suspended in mid-air.
"So strong!"
Everyone collectively took a deep breath in shock.
Just a casual wave of his hand, and an ordinary peach tree grew twining branches that ensnared the Demon God. Such a feat astounded not only Su Ling but also all the other strong members of the Demon Race, for they had never seen anything like it before.
"Ah ah ah!"
The Demon God struggled fiercely, only to find that all his strength was locked by the branches, unable to break free.
"What kind of demon magic is this?"
The Demon God roared in fury.
Ye Feng ignored him, and instead, gently waved his sleeve. The trees on both sides of the street blossomed with fresh flowers in an instant, flinging petals at the Demon God, wrapping around him tightly.
A moment later.
The Demon God was, astonishingly, wrapped into a cocoon by the countless flower petals, shrinking in size, as his roars gradually weakened.
After ten breaths.
"Waah waah!"
All the flowers burst open, and the Demon God was transformed by Ye Feng into a newly born, red-haired baby boy, floating mid-air, kicking his little legs, crying out with the distinctive wails of an infant.
The crowd looked intently.
The baby's neck bore a pendant, shaped somewhat like the Square Sky Halberd.
"What kind of divine technique could this be?"
The crowd was collectively dumbfounded.
The once invincible Demon God had been turned by Ye Feng into a rather cute red-haired baby boy, even the Square Sky Halberd had become but a trinket on the baby's neck.
This sort of method, unheard of!
Ye Feng held the baby boy with his right hand and handed him to Su Ling, saying:
"This is the Demon Infant, transformed from the Demon God. His memories from the previous life have been erased by me, just like a blank slate. Teach him well, let him learn that human nature, at its core, is inherently good."
Looking at the red-haired Demon Infant in front of her, Su Ling had a peculiar expression.
"Senior Ye, I'm still an unmarried maiden, with no idea how to teach a baby!"
Su Ling said with a wry smile.
"You only need to teach him, as for nursing, you can leave that to the wet nurses of Su Residence, can't you?" Ye Feng said calmly.
"That's true." Su Ling nodded and took the Demon Infant.
"Let us have a look, too!"
Other cultivators eagerly gathered around, looking at the Demon Infant held by Su Ling, some bold enough to pinch the Demon Infant's face.
"Look, I can pinch and mold a Demon God at will!"
"You can only bully the Demon God now, of all times."
"Speaking of which, can the Demon Infant cultivate?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Feng.
"His talent is quite remarkable, even stronger than Su Ling's. In just a few years, he will be able to return to the Third Realm," Ye Feng declared.
"Hisss!"
Everyone inhaled sharply, silently retracting their hands from the Demon Infant's face.
"Alright, take the Demon Infant away. As for the Demon Race outside, without my saying it, you all know how they should be dealt with." Ye Feng waved his hand and walked towards his private courtyard.
"Yes!"
The strong members of both the Demon Race and Human Race present made a salute, waiting until Ye Feng's private courtyard door closed again before they dispersed.
"Out of the city, let's slaughter those demon spawn!"
Thousands of strong members of the Demon and Human Races, at or above the Third Realm, charged out of Mortal City, and without needing half a day, they had thoroughly suppressed the calamity caused by the Demon Race.
The whole world stepped back onto the right track.
And then.
A legend spread throughout the lands.
Everyone knew that Mortal City was home to a seemingly mortal, but heaven-reaching, hidden Immortal.
As for the news of the Demon Infant, it wasn't spread.
Apart from Su Ling and thousands of others who were at or above the Third Realm, nobody knew that the boy infant brought back to Su Residence and named Su Mo was the reincarnation of the Demon God!
Yuhua Street, the private courtyard.
Ye Feng packed his belongings, loaded several horse-drawn carriages, and on an unnoticed early morning, facing the rising Sun, slowly drove away from Mortal City, where he had lived for decades.
On the gravel road.
Ye Feng sat atop the carriage roof, propping his head with his hand, observing the flowers and grass of this world, pondering the many moments of the past hundred years, recalling Yu Jie's voice and laughter, unable to help but tear up.
"It's been a hundred years, ah..."
