Chapter 987 987 The Foreign Prince's Conspiracy
Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but let out a wry laugh.
This little Divine Demon Ant was clearly not very old, its mind not yet fully mature.
Compared to other seed-level figures, there was a considerable gap.
And yet, even as a young Divine Demon Ant, it was already this powerful.
It was hard to imagine just how formidable it would become once it reached adulthood.
Most likely, it would be no weaker than its father.
"What if I told you I was a cultivator from the Immortal Realm? Would you believe me?" Jun Xiaoyao removed the ghost-face mask from his face and smiled faintly.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" The little Divine Demon Ant still regarded him with hostility.
"Sigh." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, then reached into his spatial artifact and produced a memory orb.
The memory orb had recorded his plans, step by step.
It was precisely for moments like this, to make explanations easier later on.
"Take a look."
Jun Xiaoyao channeled his power into the memory orb.
Scenes immediately began to materialize.
Such as Jun Xiaoyao's various plans within the Heavenly Tomb, his transformation, the reforging of his body, and more.
There were also scenes of him deceiving the foreign realm beings.
And scenes of him spreading his teachings.
One scene after another left the little Divine Demon Ant utterly dumbfounded, its ant-face frozen in shock.
"You're the Divine Son of the ancient Jun Clan, Jun Xiaoyao?"
The little Divine Demon Ant was momentarily speechless.
Although it was not an ant of this era and had no knowledge of Jun Xiaoyao's former reputation in the Immortal Realm,
the ancient Jun Clan was an undying force, its legacy spanning countless epochs throughout the Immortal Realm.
Even its father, the Divine Demon Emperor, had spoken of it before.
The reason the foreign realm had never been able to fully breach the Immortal Realm was in large part due to the Jun Clan.
This family's foundations ran unfathomably deep.
With the strength of a single clan, they held the entire foreign realm in check.
One could only imagine how terrifying the Jun Clan truly was.
The Divine Demon Emperor had even given the little Divine Demon Ant a solemn warning.
Never make an enemy of the Jun Clan. If the heavens and earth were to one day undergo a great upheaval, and the epoch were to crumble,
following the Jun Clan would very likely lead to a path of transcendence unlike anything seen before.
It was precisely because of the Divine Demon Emperor's repeated warnings that the little Divine Demon Ant remembered it so deeply.
"Is all of this real? Are you truly the Divine Son of the Jun Clan, working undercover in the foreign realm?"
The little Divine Demon Ant was still half-convinced, half-doubtful.
"The dark aura on me comes from this single drop of blood."
Jun Xiaoyao didn't bother concealing it, and directly summoned that drop of Heavenly Black Blood.
"Ah, what is that terrifying thing, put it away, quickly!" The little Divine Demon Ant recoiled as if startled, stumbling back several steps.
It had casually used its ant-sense to probe it for just a moment, and immediately plunged into an endless dark nightmare.
That drop of black blood was far too horrifying, enough to make even the little Divine Demon Ant feel dizzy.
Jun Xiaoyao put the Heavenly Black Blood away.
Truth be told, even he had never fully unraveled the secret of that drop of black blood.
"Phew, truly terrifying. I believe you." The little Divine Demon Ant wiped the sweat from its antennae.
Upon learning that Jun Xiaoyao was the Divine Son of the Immortal Realm's Jun Clan, it relaxed completely, its earlier hostility gone without a trace.
"Still, you really are something else when it comes to deception. You had that whole group of foreign realm beings completely wrapped around your finger." The little Divine Demon Ant burst out laughing.
It genuinely admired Jun Xiaoyao a little.
"Just a few minor tricks." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand dismissively.
"Oh right, my name is Xiao Yi." The little Divine Demon Ant known as Xiao Yi extended its hand.
"Jun Xiaoyao."
Jun Xiaoyao extended his hand as well.
Between the one person and the one ant, there was a brief silence.
The atmosphere grew slightly awkward.
Jun Xiaoyao's little pinky finger was longer than Xiao Yi's entire body, making the handshake entirely symbolic.
Xiao Yi simply leaped up onto Jun Xiaoyao's palm.
It asked Jun Xiaoyao a few questions about the current state of affairs.
Jun Xiaoyao answered each one honestly and in full.
With that, the little Divine Demon Ant was completely at ease, and fully believed in Jun Xiaoyao.
"Oh right, there should still be something here." Xiao Yi glanced over at the Pool of Laws.
"There was a stalk of Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Medicine. I took it." Jun Xiaoyao was equally straightforward.
"How could you just take my things like that." Xiao Yi immediately looked displeased, crossing its arms over its chest.
That had been something set aside for its own rapid growth.
"I didn't take your things for nothing. A single drop of Chaos Essence Blood is more than enough to compensate for the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Medicine, wouldn't you say?"
Jun Xiaoyao found it a little amusing.
It seemed this was a rather stingy little ant.
"If you feel that's not enough, I can give you more." Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
After all, the Chaos Essence Blood produced by his Chaos Azure Lotus constitution was plentiful, and he didn't mind giving a little extra.
"Why would you do that? This must be important to you as well." Xiao Yi hesitated.
"If I'm not mistaken, your father should be the Divine Demon Emperor. As the descendant of a hero, it's only right that I look out for you." Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
At that, the little Divine Demon Ant was the one who felt a little embarrassed, its face turning slightly red.
It had been a bit stingy and petty, yet Jun Xiaoyao was being so generous.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced over and said, "Of course, if you feel like you're getting the better end of the deal, I wouldn't mind studying the Divine Demon Mighty Art."
Xiao Yi immediately lifted its little head and said, "Oh, so that's your game! You had your eye on my innate divine art all along!"
"I won't take from you for nothing. In addition to the Chaos Essence Blood, I can also give you the ancient Holy Body's essence blood afterward."
Jun Xiaoyao's words made the little Divine Demon Ant's breathing quicken.
It was already a Divine Demon Ant that commanded the power of force. If it were further nourished by the ancient Holy Body's essence blood,
its future prospects would be limitless.
"No, the ancestors laid down the rules. This is our clan's secret art, not to be passed on." Xiao Yi thought it over and still shook its head.
The innate divine art of their clan was far too rare, a perfect embodiment of the laws of force, and could not be passed on lightly.
This was well within Jun Xiaoyao's expectations.
He directly transmitted a small portion of the Divine Spirit Immortality Art's formula into the little Divine Demon Ant's mind.
"This… what kind of technique is this!"
After experiencing it for a moment, the little Divine Demon Ant immediately leaped to its feet, its face filled with urgency.
As everyone knew, the Divine Demon Ant clan, in addition to possessing supreme strength,
also possessed an extraordinarily powerful life force.
Otherwise, how could the Divine Demon Emperor have once single-handedly challenged multiple Undying Kings?
And it would have been impossible to hold out for so long against a calamity-level Undying.
With this technique added on top, the little Divine Demon Ant would truly become an unkillable cockroach.
"So, is this sincerity enough?" Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
The Divine Demon Mighty Art was rare, but the Divine Spirit Immortality Art from the Book of Life was no ordinary thing either.
Xiao Yi hesitated for a while, then finally let out a long, dramatic sigh.
"There's no helping it. I have no choice but to make a decision that goes against my ancestors."
"O ancestors, please forgive Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi only wants to grow stronger."
Watching this little Divine Demon Ant dramatically adding to its own narrative, Jun Xiaoyao was left utterly speechless.
In the end, Jun Xiaoyao exchanged the Divine Spirit Immortality Art for the Divine Demon Mighty Art.
Xiao Yi voluntarily manifested the rune bones within its body, allowing Jun Xiaoyao to study them.
"The goods are on the table. How much you can comprehend is entirely up to your own ability." Xiao Yi said.
Truth be told, it didn't quite believe Jun Xiaoyao could fully comprehend it.
This kind of innate divine art was the hardest of all to comprehend.
What it didn't know, however, was just what kind of absurdly gifted existence stood before it.
Setting aside his own monstrous natural talent, he had also obtained the War God Catalogue.
Comprehending all manner of divine arts and martial techniques was simply effortless for him.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao and Xiao Yi sat cross-legged together in the Pool of Laws.
Each studying their respective arts, the Divine Demon Mighty Art and the Divine Spirit Immortality Art.
What Jun Xiaoyao didn't know was that at this very moment, a conspiracy was already closing in around him.
In another part of the Borderlands.
Four figures had gathered together.
Three of them were none other than the Blood Emperor's Son, the Ji Meng Emperor's Son, and Chi.
The fourth, clad in blue robes with blue hair, was unmistakably the Farshore Prince.
"Strange. Li Jiuming and the others have gone silent. Could it be that…" The Farshore Prince furrowed his brow slightly.
"Why bother with them. How are things going on that other end?" the Blood Emperor's Son asked.
"It should be workable." the Farshore Prince said.
"Good. Then leak the news that the Chaos Body is heading to the Grand Sacrificial Blood Ground, and let them do the dirty work. Have them surround and eliminate the Chaos Body. Wouldn't that be far more convenient?" the Ji Meng Emperor's Son said with a smile.
"Heh heh, indeed. If we were to act ourselves, it would inevitably cause trouble. After all, right now, quite a few of the old ones have their eyes on that Chaos Body."
Chi of the Huodou Clan let out a strange, snickering laugh.
"If it succeeds, a quasi-Undying will owe us a favor. In the future, we'll all have a chance to become titled War Gods." The Blood Emperor's Son smiled coldly as well.
The Farshore Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing into the distance.
"Yu Xiaoyao, this time the many seed-level figures of the Immortal Realm have joined forces to form an assassination squad. Can you escape this calamity?"
