Great Luo World, Heaven Desolate region, Heavenly demon Sect

The Heaven Desolate region is a huge and incomparable territory that spanned millions of miles. There are countless sects, many empires, and small countries that spread throughout the whole region. Among all those sects and empires, fifteen of them stood out as the strongest influences within the Heaven Desolate region, the seven righteous sects, the three great empires, and the five evil sects.

As one of the five evil sects within the Heaven desolate region, the location of the Heavenly Demon Sect spanned for thousands of miles. When one's gaze is set upon the Heavenly Demon Sect, they would see endless rolling hills, mountains, rivers that resembled silver serpents, and heavenly trees that could pierce through the cloud. Everything here's full of life, and the worldly energy even permeated the air. The heavenly demon sect was unique, not like the other evil sects.

Moreover, the heavenly demon sect was like a huge landscape with no walls or boundaries. Inside the mountains were huge pavilions that reached into the sky.

...

Like any other day, the sun once again took her rightful place on the horizon, Igniting the world anew with its brilliance.

On top of the highest mountain of the Heavenly Demon Sect existed a single and huge magnificent palace, known as the heavenly demon palace.

As the name suggests, the heavenly demon palace was the most distinguished place within the Heavenly Demon Sect, and also the residence of the sect master. Aside from the heavenly demon sect master, his wives, the palace's maids, and his children, no one was allowed to live in the palace, not even the sect master's true disciples.

Aside from that, The heavenly demon palace was an important location in the Heavenly demon sect. All major decisions were discussed and made there, and only the most powerful and distinguished elders had the qualifications to enter.

At this moment, inside a huge luxurious room within the Heavenly demon place. An imposing middle-aged man stood next to a king-size bed with two maids and an old man behind him. The middle-aged man was devilishly handsome. He had long black hair with a length that reached his waist without being tied up. he had a square face, a thick sword sharp eyebrows, and blue eyes. His body was emanating a powerful and oppressive aura. This man was none other than Ling Tian also known as the Heavenly demon Venerable, the sect master of the heavenly demon sect.

On the bed in front of him, there was a sick pregnant lady. It was unknown if this woman was young or old, ugly, or pretty due to her current appearance. The woman seemed lifeless as she was only made of skin and bones. It was as though something or someone has sucked out the life out of her and was on her last breath. The woman looked as though she had suffered severe acute malnutrition. Both of her eyes were close as though she was dead. Despite her current appearance, the woman was gently caressing her huge belly with her right bony hand with a slight smile on her face.

" Sect Master, The young mistress seemed to be on her last breath. If we don't take the baby out of her now, she'll die before she could even give birth to the third young master." Looking at the emotionless face of the sect master which seemed like a piece of glacial ice, the old man couldn't help but reminded him.

At this moment, the young mistress didn't even have enough strength to move around, let alone push the baby out. They would have to open her stomach up to take the baby out.

The old man was the most trusted attendant of the sect master and had been taking care of him since he was a kid. The old man knew how much the sect master loves and cares for the young mistress, so seeing how the sect master ignored the young mistress' condition, he couldn't help but worry.

Ever since the young mistress has gotten pregnant with the sect master's child, the young mistress who was as healthy as a horse became deathly ill overnight as her life force was being mysteriously drained away.

The sect master had invited countless doctors and alchemists to check the young mistress's condition, yet all of them had come up with the same conclusion. They all believed that the problem was the baby carried by the young mistress. They concluded that the baby was somehow swallowing the young mistress's life force from within.

None of them had a clue of why this was happening or how to fix it. They only gave the sect master two choices, either he killed or got the baby out prematurely before he sucked out the young mistress's life force completely dry or let her give birth to the baby which would most likely result in her death.

As the sect master was deeply in love with the young mistress and had two sons with two of his concubines already, he chose the former which was to get rid of the baby. However, the young mistress threatened to commit suicide if he ever touched her unborn baby. The young mistress would rather risk her life by giving birth to the baby than saved herself by getting rid of the baby.

As such, the young mistress who was a powerhouse at the peak of Martial Sovereign realm and had a lifespan of over a thousand years had turned into such a sight in less than a hundred years while carrying an unborn child in her stomach.

Most babies spent 9 months to two years in their mothers' womb, however, this little devil has been in the young mistress' womb for over ninety-five years.

Over the years, the sect master had spent almost all of his life saving as well as emptying the sect's treasury to buy heavenly medicines to replenish her continuously depleted wife's life force. The amounts of heavenly medicines purchased by the sect master to feed his wife over the years were enough to open a large sect and raised at least five experts of the martial venerable realm. Yet, all of these materials were fed to his wife which was in turn swallowed clean by the little devil in her stomach.

Despite being known as one of the evilest men throughout the Heaven Desolate Region with the title of heavenly demon Venerable, two rows of tears couldn't help but flowed out the sect master's eyes as he was looking at his wife who was nothing but skin and bones at the moment.

His wife used to be known as one of the seven Great beauties of the heavenly desolate region, yet at this moment, she was like a living corpse. All this was so she could give birth to his child.

His wife knew that it was her last chance to give birth to a child. In this martial art world, the higher one's martial realm was, the more difficult it was to have children. His wife was already at the peak of the martial sovereign realm, only one step away from the martial venerable realm. In this realm, giving birth to a child was as difficult as ascending to Heaven which was why she was dead set on keeping the child even if it meant her life would be at risk. Also, aside from her motherly love, the sect master knew how badly his wife wanted to give him a child.

" Feed the young mistress the last saint true Qi essence Crystal to nourish her body and then take the baby out of her." He answered the sect master with a painful look on his face as he looked at his deathly wife on the bed.

" I'll be waiting outside." No matter how cruel the sect master was, he couldn't stomach seeing his beautiful wife in this state as he stepped outside the room.

About half an hour after the sect master stepped outside, a loud cry of a baby rang out from the room which extended throughout the whole world of Great Luo. For some unknown reason, every living being within the world of great Luo, whether humans or animals were able to telepathically hear the cry of the baby, and it stirred something deep within their soul as fear engulfed them. It was as though their worst nightmare has come to life. With the cry of the baby, a great commotion had also ensured outside as dark clouds gathered in the sky of not only the territory of the heaven desolate region but also the whole world. Within seconds, the sky of the Great Luo world was completely engulfed with darkness despite being only the second hour of the afternoon.

The entire Heaven desolate region, as well as the rest of the world, had fallen into utter darkness! It was so dark that nobody could see anything around them! It was as though the darkness itself was welcoming the arrival of its new king as it swallowed the sun.

This phenomenon has caused all of those old monsters thought to be dead to come out of seclusion as they were looking at the dark sky with a frightened look on their faces. They could feel a dangerously evil thing had come to be which could even cause all the dark malevolent aura to cover the sky. The darkness that covered the sky and swallowed the sun was made up of everything evil and vile in the world and it was also filled with the stench of death.

This phenomenon only lasted a few seconds as everything returned to normal. At the same time, the cry of the baby died down as well and disappeared from the ear of the people. Although this event was very brief, it was still enough to send shivers down anyone's spine
