What kind of place is Heishan?
Those who don't know might have no fear, but those who do know speak of Heishan with nothing but awe and trepidation.
One must understand that Heishan is one of the most mysterious forbidden lands between heaven and earth.
Legend has it that Heishan existed even before the Three Thousand Great Daos were born.
Throughout the ages, it has given birth to several Great Dao Patriarchs.
Such as the Immortal Dao's Old Lord of Heishan!
The Monster Dao's Old Duke of Heishan!
The Buddhist Dao's Old Matriarch of Heishan!
The Monster Dao's Old Master of Heishan!
The Ghost Dao's Old Crone of Heishan!
And the Human Dao's Old Man of Heishan!
These are all legendary Great Dao Patriarchs, each a being of immense power and influence.
The difference is, most of these Great Dao Patriarchs who originated from Heishan disappeared along with the end of the Ancient Desolation Era. Whether they are slumbering, in seclusion, or truly gone, no one knows.
This is the case for the Immortal Dao's Old Lord of Heishan, the Monster Dao's Old Duke of Heishan, and so on. However, the Monster Dao's Old Master of Heishan has been rampaging across heaven and earth, dominating the Monster Dao for countless ages. To this day, he has become the absolute overlord of the Monster Dao!
Looking across heaven and earth, throughout the ages, the mere mention of the Old Master of Heishan strikes fear into the hearts of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
"Damn it!
I was just wondering why the demonic aura on this little demon monster felt so similar to the Old Master of Heishan's. So he's actually the Old Master of Heishan's son!"
Upon learning that the Child of Demon and Monster was actually the biological son of the Old Master of Heishan and the Lady of Three Yins, Da Xing the Mad Monk was utterly astonished. No wonder this Child of Demon and Monster had not only nurtured an Original Sin Dharmakaya but was also raising four Original Sin Fragment Bodies. Probably only the Old Master of Heishan's own son would have such immense capital!
"Tsk tsk, now we're in for a good show."
Glancing at Elder Blood Raven in the sky, Da Xing the Mad Monk said with a hint of schadenfreude, "That old bastard Blood Raven, though he was considered a patriarch of the Monster Dao back in the day, compared to the Old Master of Heishan, he's nothing more than a little brat. Now that he's run into the Old Master of Heishan's own son, that old bastard Blood Raven is probably in for a world of hurt."
In Da Xing the Mad Monk's estimation, Blood Raven's strength might not fear the Child of Demon and Monster or those eight old demons. However, the Old Master of Heishan standing behind the Child of Demon and Monster was something he couldn't help but be wary of.
As everyone knew, the Old Master of Heishan had also entered the Primordial Black Hole. Now that his own son was here within the Li Palace, even if the Old Master of Heishan wasn't in the Li Palace itself, he must be in one of the other nine palaces. If Blood Raven dared to obliterate the Old Master of Heishan's son this time, he would definitely summon the Old Master of Heishan himself. At that point, forget about contending for Original Sin, whether Blood Raven could even leave the Li Palace alive would be a complete unknown.
Sure enough.
Upon learning that the father of this Child of Demon and Monster before him was none other than the Old Master of Heishan, the flames in Blood Raven's abyss-like eyes gradually calmed from their frenzied burning. His face, like the bark of an old, withered tree, wore a thin, insincere smile as he said, "So it's the Young Master of the Old Master of Heishan. My apologies for the disrespect!"
After speaking, Blood Raven added, "May I inquire as to the Young Master's esteemed name?"
Opposite him.
The Child of Demon and Monster stood in the void, hands clasped behind his back. A playful smile graced his sinister, demonic face, while the aura of demon-monster and his Original Sin Dharmakaya blazed around him like flames. He laughed, "My name is not something you are qualified to know."
"Oh?
Is that so..." Blood Raven chuckled darkly and said, "This old one is an old acquaintance and friend of the Old Master of Heishan. It's just that we haven't met for many years. I wonder if the Old Master of Heishan is still well?"
"My father has always been well."
"Good!
I must trouble the Young Master to convey to the Old Master of Heishan that in a few days, this old one will definitely pay a visit!"
Blood Raven said, "This old one currently has urgent matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first."
As he spoke, Blood Raven prepared to leave. But the moment he moved, the eight old demons immediately surrounded him. Blood Raven narrowed his eyes, looking at the Child of Demon and Monster, and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what the Young Master means by this?"
"Nothing much."
The Child of Demon and Monster said, "The Old Master, upon learning that Senior Blood Raven is here, specifically sent me to invite you over for a chat and to catch up."
"May I ask where the Old Master of Heishan is currently?"
"Right here within the Li Palace."
"Oh?"
Blood Raven stared at the Child of Demon and Monster, as if judging whether his words were true or false, and also as if guessing whether the Old Master of Heishan was truly within the Li Palace.
"What's the matter?"
The Child of Demon and Monster slowly stepped closer. "Didn't you say you were an old acquaintance and friend of the Old Master? Now that the Old Master invites you over to catch up, is Senior Blood Raven unwilling to give our family this face?"
"Young Master, do not misunderstand. This old one does not mean that, it's just..." Blood Raven demurred, "This old one truly has urgent matters at hand. I must trouble you to convey to the Old Master of Heishan that once this old one finishes his business, I will immediately go pay my respects to the Old Master."
"My apologies, but the Old Master specifically instructed that we must invite Senior Blood Raven back this time."
"This old one has said I have urgent matters. I hope the Young Master will understand."
"If Senior Blood Raven continues to refuse, then do not blame this junior for not giving you face."
"I wonder how the Young Master plans to not give this old one face?"
"Hah! Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Before his words had even faded, with a single glance from the Child of Demon and Monster, the eight old demons surrounding Elder Blood Raven immediately took action. At the same time, the Child of Demon and Monster gave another order, summoning four more Original Sin Fragment Bodies to attack as well.
"The show has begun!"
Both Gu Qingfeng and Da Xing the Mad Monk, hiding in the shadows, were the type who loved watching a spectacle. Watching the Old Master of Heishan's own son and Blood Raven start fighting, the two of them were like spectators at a grand play, each more engrossed than the other. They sipped their wine while commenting.
"Truly worthy of being the Old Master of Heishan's own son! His skills are formidable indeed!"
Since ancient times, Children of Demon and Monster have been called baleful stars. They are born with terrifying power, their existence even more frightening than so-called Celestial Immortals or Heavenly Demons. Add to that being the Old Master of Heishan's own son, the inherited bloodline is even more extraordinary. And from the Child of Demon and Monster's methods, one could tell he had definitely been personally instructed by the Old Master of Heishan. His techniques were vicious and cunning, powerful and bizarre.
Especially since the Old Master of Heishan's own son also possessed an Original Sin Dharmakaya. Even though it was a forcibly fused Original Sin Dharmakaya, its power of Original Sin should not be underestimated, especially since besides the Original Sin Dharmakaya, he also possessed four Original Sin Fragment Bodies.
Yet even so.
Da Xing the Mad Monk still believed that the Old Master of Heishan's son wanting to stop Elder Blood Raven would probably be somewhat difficult.
This Elder Blood Raven was an innate Original Sin Dharmakaya. Moreover, over the years, who knew how much Blood of Original Sin he had devoured and absorbed? His power of Original Sin had grown to an unimaginable degree. At this moment, surrounded and attacked by the Child of Demon and Monster and the eight old demons, although he was constantly defending, he was not at a disadvantage.
It was clear that Elder Blood Raven was extremely wary of the Old Master of Heishan. Otherwise, facing the siege by the Child of Demon and Monster and the other old demons, he wouldn't have consistently dared not to fight back.
It must be said, the deterrent power of the Old Master of Heishan was truly immense. Even an old Original Sin veteran like Elder Blood Raven, who had long haunted the Endless Sea Beyond the Outer Heaven, dared not act too recklessly.
