The space inside the island twisted, and Yun Che appeared from within.
The moment he appeared, he was attacked by intense yin energy. Normally, such intense and condensed yin energy would suppress the profound strength of anyone, but not him.
His Heretic God Veins were of the highest quality. As such, profound strength suppression didn't work on him.
He stared at the dark land where not a single life would ever bloom; at least, not the normal ones.
"This princess cannot believe such a place exists on this star…" Jasmine's face held a serious expression as she stared at the dead land. "Cloud Cliff and now this… Just what was the Heretic God thinking?"
She looked towards Yun Che with suspicion. She knew Yun Che knew something about this place; otherwise, he would never volunteer to check it out.
"You know the reason for this abnormality, right?"
"You know me too well, Jasmine. It really makes my heart flutter with happiness." Yun Che teasingly smiled.
"Humph. Of course, there is nothing hidden from this princess."
Yun Che chuckled.
He stared ahead in silence before he abruptly asked.
"What do you think will happen if people found out that a True Devil is still alive?"
"That's impossible." Her reply was instant. "The current Primal Chaos cannot bear the weight of a True Devil. If such a thing existed, the world would already know about it by now."
"But that is considering if the said devil hasn't lost his powers and was not sealed."
"Wait…" Jasmine's eyes widened, and her head jerked towards Yun Che with horror. "Don't tell me…"
"Hahaha…" Yun Che laughed, seeing her expression as he softly started to fly towards the center of the Yin Energy. "Let's see if True Devils are really as scary as the stories proclaim them to be."
"No, stop!" Jasmine hurriedly flew behind him with a terrified expression. "If there exists a True Devil in this place, we shouldn't be careless. It's a True Devil, a being on par with True Gods!"
"You worry too much." Yun Che didn't stop but kept flying in the same direction while off-handedly replying to Jasmine. "I just told you that he has lost his strength. If he really had the strength to hurt anyone, he wouldn't be turtling in this place for a million years."
"Even then…" she looked worried.
"Oh look, we're here." Yun Che looked at the half-bloomed Udumbara Flower.
"Udumbara Flower…" Jasmine's gaze also instantly was snatched by the flower before she sighed regretfully. "It's not bloomed yet… It's useless to me."
"Why do you look so down?" Yun Che softly patted her head, making the redhead push her head further into his palm.
She just loved it when Yun Che patted her. It calmed her down.
"I told you that I already have everything to remake your body. We wouldn't need this flower anyway."
"But you still haven't given this princess materials to reconstruct her body… at this point, I'm doubting if you even want me to reconstruct my body or not."
"Hahaha…" Yun Che evaded her inquisitive gaze, which soon turned soft as she sighed.
"Well, whatever. I can wait some more."
"Hm, what are you doing?" Jasmine saw Yun Che flying towards the half-bloomed Udumbara Flower.
"What else? I'm going to pluck it."
Jasmine tilted her head in confusion. She wondered why he would want to pluck an un-bloomed flower, but her question was answered instantly in the shape of a sharp claw that wanted to cut Yun Che into pieces as he was about to pluck the flower.
"Oh my." Yun Che vanished and appeared at a distance away, teasingly staring at the five-meter-tall giant standing beside the Udumbara Flower, protecting it.
"You have a death wish." A deep hoarse voice came from the five-feet-tall giant, his eyes gleaming with intense crimson light.
"Even if I do, I wouldn't choose someone as weak as you for it." Yun Che chuckled, completely unfazed by the display of eeriness from the five-feet giant.
"You sure talk big for someone who is only in the Tyrant Profound Realm." The five-feet giant looked amused. Dark profound energy rippled around him like snakes embracing him.
"It's enough to take care of you." Yun Che taunted.
"Kekeke. We will see about that." The giant laughed eerily before he vanished.
The air was ripped apart by five huge claws as they appeared in front of Yun Che instantly.
Yun Che smiled seeing the incoming claws. His eyes gave an intense golden shimmer as the coming claws abruptly stagnated in the air.
It looked as if something invisible had caught them.
"My turn then." Yun Che eagerly said before the pattern in his eyes changed into that of a dragon.
Like the five-meter giant, Yun Che shaped his hand like a claw and slashed at the startled devil.
The space instantly got crushed by Yun Che's attack. The ground below followed with five huge cuts from which ocean water gushed out unstoppably.
"Shit!" The devil cursed.
He instantly turned around and ran.
Just from one exchange, he knew he was no match for the weird monster in front of him.
His best bet was now to use the Tribulation Wheel. Even though he was afraid of using it, the devil knew he had no other choice.
It was a do-or-die situation!
"Well, that was a disappointment." Yun Che stared at the running devil and sighed. "And I was thinking of recruiting him. The people in the God Realm would have given such an interesting reaction to see a True Devil."
"... Were you really thinking of doing that?" Jasmine asked with slight hope in her voice, which was shattered by Yun Che's reply.
"Of course. If I'm not fucking, there's barely anything in this world worth my interest."
'Maybe I should open some entertainment industry or something… Let's think about it once I conquer this verse completely.' Yun Che internally thought. 'Maybe I can go to other universes then. Damn, that sounds exciting as fuck!'
"..." Jasmine didn't reply. She wondered if Yun Che was the real devil here for thinking of freeing a True Devil to the world just to see their reaction because he was bored.
"Oh well, let's see what he is up to." Yun Che shrugged. "Maybe he will use the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulation to get me."
"The what?!"
"Oh dear…"

"So the source of this Yin is a second heavenly profound treasure?"
"Yep."
"T-this… To think that the most vicious weapon of the whole Primal Chaos was also on this star." Jasmine absentmindedly muttered. "Sky Poison Pearl, Evil Infant, Mirror of Samsara… that's already three heavenly treasures! If people in the God Realm found out about this, they would excavate this land till nothing is left of it. And that is not including the amount of divine inheritance on this star! This princess cannot remember even a single place in the whole of God Realm with so many treasures and inheritances as this one!"
"Calm down…" Yun Che pulled the panicked flying crimson head and placed her on his lap and started to pat her. "I have already taken what could be taken from this land. So even if they did try to get anything out, they won't be getting anything."
"But—"
"Yes, that won't stop them." Knowing full well what Jasmine wanted to say, Yun Che smiled. "Even if they did find out about this star, do you think I'll let them do as they please? They must hold a massive death wish if they think they can do anything as they please with my possessions."
"Oh look, it's starting."
Suddenly, all the yin energy was abruptly pulled towards the center of the island, towards a cave some distance away.
A dome of yin energy was created there as it circled around the cave as if protecting whatever was inside of it.
"Kekeke! I would have never thought that after such a long time, the Evil Infant would be so desperate that it would allow me to wield it." The eerie voice of the devil came from inside the dome of yin energy, followed by a burst of laughter. "Kekeke! With this, I can reach my peak even faster than before!"
Yun Che looked up and saw dark clouds gathering, forming the shape of an infant's head.
"Uuuuu… Uuuuu… Uuuuu…" The infant head above deformed, and the sound of an infant crying took over the surroundings.
The dome of yin energy around the cave exploded, revealing a five-feet giant with a black wheel in his hand.
The wheel released intense black light and yin energy. Anyone with a working brain could tell that the wheel was the source of all the yin energy in this place.
'It's good that he himself is only in the Sovereign Profound Realm. If he was any stronger, people in the God Realm would have definitely detected the presence of the Evil Infant.'
Though the seal also played a role in keeping the pressure from Evil Infant in check.
"I don't know what you are or where you came from, but this place is going to be your grave, kid!"
Yun Che chuckled at the arrogance of Moon Slaughter before a smirk formed over his face.
"You don't know me? Maybe this might help you." Crimson profound energy instantly burst out of Yun Che's body, stopping Moon Slaughter in his tracks.
A brief silence passed before intense murderous intent filled the whole island.
"Ni Xuan, you motherfucker! You dare to come in front of me with such pitiful strength!? I will kill you!"
He roared, causing an even more intense pressure to descend on the island. It started to quake, unable to bear the sheer pressure of Moon Slaughter, buffed by the most destructive being in the whole Primal Chaos.
"I think you misunderstood me. I am not a Heretic God." Being a kind gentleman, Yun Che corrected the enraged devil. "I'm the inheritor of his veins. Unlike him, I'm not so weak as to die from poison."
"Doesn't change a thing! I'm still killing you, brat!"
Yun Che's smile stretched as if he was staring at a clown.
"Guess I'll play with you then."
'Until Evil Infant consumes you, hahahaha.'
