CHAPTER 522: CHAPTER 14: HEAVENLY FOX DESCENDANT

The Heavenly Fox Descendant is a major branch among the Eight Desolate Beast Clans, and the leaders of the Beast Clans are absolute Beast King-level existences among the Demon Beasts.

Despite the immense strength of the Demon Beasts, the Eight Desolate Beast Clans have long been embroiled in internal strife. Additionally, with humans’ cunning interference behind the scenes, the Eight Desolate Beast Clans finally split.

The Eight Great Masters killed several clan leaders of the Great Beast Clans and carried out widespread slaughter within the Beast Clan.

Countless Demon Beasts were slain; their blood flowed continuously and the scent of blood filled the sky, eventually forming the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.

The Demon Beasts that were lucky enough to survive fled into the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, and from then on, no Eight Desolate Divine Beast-level Demon Beasts were seen on the continent again.

The Eight Great Masters also joined forces to set up incredibly powerful prohibitions in the Heavenly Beast Blood Realm, strictly forbidding the remnants of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan’s Demon Beasts from entering.

But human strength has limits, and tens of thousands of years have passed since then. The seal on the Dutian Beast Blood Realm has gradually loosened over time.

The spirits of those Demon Beasts who were killed many years ago remain unrested, emitting a powerful Evil Qi, forming masses of Sha Sha Clouds. These clouds passed through the cracks in the seal and drifted into the continent.

The Beast Blood Cloud absorbed the local residents and livestock, accumulated enough energy, and gave birth to extremely formidable Blood Cloud Beasts.

"What does this have to do with Mother? Judging by Mother’s age, she couldn’t possibly be related to the Beast Clans from back then?" Yun Sheng was rendered speechless. She hadn’t expected that Hu Jiusheng was actually a Heavenly Fox descendant.

Such a tale sounded incredibly fantastical.

Well, she had indeed transversed to a fantastical continent.

"Your mother was actually born from the Beast Blood Cloud," said Yun Canghai as he told Yun Sheng about how he and Hu Jiusheng met.

Hu Jiusheng had been oblivious to her origins since she was born.

She was found and brought up by a couple living on the outskirts of Great Zhou.

It was only when she turned three years old that she discovered her especially outstanding talent for Magic and was sent to the local Magic Temple.

Her gift was immense; she could master any Magic at first try, but she didn’t like the Magic Temple, or to put it more accurately, she had a subconscious aversion to it.

Later, quite accidentally, Hu Jiusheng’s talents as a Summoner were revealed.

She was recommended by the Magic Temple to the Summoning Court, and it was there that she learned most of what she knows about Summoners.

"So, Mother actually stayed at both the Magic Temple and the Summoning Court? Then why did she leave the Summoning Court?" Most Summoners, especially those with profound strength, were more or less associated with the Summoning Court.

"Because the Heavenly Fox bloodline within your mother awakened. At that time, the Dutian Beast Blood Cloud was very active, and as a member of the Summoning Court, your mother was sent to capture the Beast Blood Cloud. But what was born from the Beast Blood Cloud that time was an infant," Yun Canghai said, pausing briefly.

He seemed to envision the scene at the time.

The Beast Blood Cloud is a very special entity; it might give birth to a Demon Beast, and it might also give birth to a Human-shaped Demon Beast.

These Human-shaped Demon Beasts, compared to ordinary Demon Beasts, are even more formidable and precious.

Because Human-shaped Demon Beasts mean that they possess at least the abilities of a Holy Beast Level Demon Beast or above.

Once such a Demon Beast grows up, if they blend in with the Human Clan, they become a greater threat.

"Are you saying that the people from the Summoning Court wouldn’t even spare an infant?" Yun Sheng remembered the night she had traveled through time. If she wasn’t mistaken, those people must have been from the Summoning Court.

"In front of your mother, they smashed the child to death," that very act plunged Hu Jiusheng into a state of Beast Blood Frenzy.

"Father, what happened to Mother?" Yun Sheng had seen Hu Jiusheng’s strength, and being a Demon Beast, Hu Jiusheng would naturally undergo Beast Blood Frenzy.

After her Beast Blood Frenzy, Hu Jiusheng’s strength...

"Your mother, after that incident, broke away from the Summoning Court. Once she succumbed to Beast Blood Frenzy, her not fully matured Heavenly Fox form emerged. She killed more than twenty experts of the Summoning Court, including a Red Archbishop, and then she fled," That incident was never truly spread across the continent.

After all, for the Summoning Court, that a mere common Scepter Summoner under their command possessed such terrifying strength, and to further ascertain that she was a descendant of the Eight Desolate Divine Beasts, was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Summoning Court.

They started a continent-wide manhunt for Hu Jiusheng.

The most hateful part was that they did not spare Hu Jiusheng’s foster parents either.

Unable to find Hu Jiusheng, the Summoning Court captured her foster parents and tortured them to death.

By the time Hu Jiusheng hurried back to Great Zhou, her foster parents had already died.

Even though she was born as a Human-shaped Demon Beast from the Beast Blood Cloud, Hu Jiusheng’s appearance and spirit were no different from ordinary people.

Her foster parents were very affectionate towards her, so by doing this, the Summoning Court undoubtedly pushed her into a corner.

In a fit of rage, Hu Jiusheng then slaughtered ten more Summoning Institutes.

Afterwards, she concealed her identity and, as a Free Hunter, frequented various arenas.

It was around that time that Yun Canghai also left the Royal Magic Academy to begin his journey into higher realms of Magic.

Both young individuals chose the arenas as their crucible.

Eventually, they met at the Sky Wings Arena.

Perhaps it was fate or it was destined, the two bonded over a contest of combat.

Upon seeing Hu Jiusheng, Yun Canghai fell for her at first sight, and he did not hesitate to pretend to be defeated, coming down losing on purpose.

After the contest ended, he clung to Hu Jiusheng with various excuses.

They say persistence wears down resistance, and despite Hu Jiusheng’s lack of fondness for humans, Yun Canghai’s persistence was effective. He followed her everywhere; when she left Sky Wings Arena, so did he.

The two of them, like cat and mouse, chased and evaded each other all over the continent.

Listening to this, Yun Sheng couldn’t help but find it amusing. Her father Yun Canghai, in her eyes, had always been serious and taciturn, and yet he had done such crazy things in pursuit of her mother Hu Jiusheng.

Thinking of her mother Hu Jiusheng, Yun Sheng couldn’t help but be enchanted. If she were a man, she would undoubtedly also be hopelessly devoted to such a woman.

After leaving Sky Wings Arena, Hu Jiusheng was seriously injured during one of the Summoning Court’s pursuits, and Yun Canghai, regardless of offending the Summoning Court, resolutely intervened.

He rescued Hu Jiusheng, and later also learned of her true identity.

But he didn’t become estranged because of this; on the contrary, he continued to care for her. When Hu Jiusheng recovered from her injuries, she finally accepted Yun Canghai.

"Afterwards, your mother became pregnant with you. Coinciding with your grandfather’s birthday, I brought her back to Yujing City, intending to give your mother a formal status. Who knew..." Yun Canghai couldn’t continue.

He had not expected that the Emperor of Great Zhou had also learned of Hu Jiusheng’s identity from the Summoning Court. The always profit-driven Emperor of Great Zhou almost without any hesitation chose to side with the Summoning Court and issued an order to kill Hu Jiusheng.
