I Transmigrated As A Three-Year-Old Villain With A Redemption System?! - Chapter 3:
Chapter 3: Devour Heaven Demonic Art
“Give up the Devour Heaven Demonic Art?” Su Yun found it hard to believe.
[The Devour Heaven Demonic Art has become the Host’s defining ability. Countless powerful beings loathe it deeply.]
[While this technique can devour origins and greatly strengthen the self,]
[it also entangles karma and binds one to fate, ultimately leading to…]
“Stop, stop, stop!” Su Yun shouted inwardly. “Don’t bother convincing me—I’ve wanted to abandon it long ago!”
A thousand years later, the world thought he regarded the Devour Heaven Demonic Art as a prized treasure. But no one knew—Su Yun wanted to abandon it more than anyone else!
After falling into the Youlan Pool and being invaded by Chaotic Poison, he had lost the ability to cultivate. It was there, at the bottom of the pool, that he discovered this demonic technique. Suffering contempt and humiliation from all sides, he was left with no choice but to fall into the demonic path and begin a road of devouring countless realms from which there was no return.
The Devour Heaven Demonic Art could indeed absorb origin energy and endlessly strengthen him, but it also brought boundless karma and the fate of countless living beings. Every step he took gave rise to erupting karmic fire, summoning endless heavenly tribulations. The karmic flames flowed backward into his heart, and the negative emotions could never be cut off. Su Yun had to constantly suppress them with all his strength.
No one wished to abandon this technique more than him—but he couldn’t.
The Devour Heaven Demonic Art had already become the foundational force within Su Yun. Every bit of cultivation he gained afterward was built upon it. Even slightly altering it would cause internal conflict among his powers, eventually resulting in qi deviation and death. He wouldn’t even need the Child of Destiny to strike—he would explode from within on his own.
But in this life, Su Yun had already obtained the Primordial Dao Bone and dispelled the Chaotic Poison. He could cultivate freely—what need was there to fall into the demonic path?
“Yun’er,” Xi Yaoyue said tearfully, “tell your mother, why did you go to the Youlan Pool?”
She held onto the faintest hope. As long as her son could give a reason, she would be willing to believe him!
But… what reason could a three-year-old child have for entering a heavily guarded and dangerous place?
Even Five Realms cultivators dared not set foot in that place. What possible reason could he have?
Su Yun snapped back to his senses. Seeing his mother’s tear-streaked face, he felt a stab of pain in his heart. He lifted his left hand weakly and said, “Big Brother said… there’s something here that Mother and Father care about… so I came.”
“Hmm?” Xi Yaoyue was stunned. So there really was a reason?
Xiao Qingchen gritted his teeth. “He’s lying! He was the one who tricked me into coming here…”
Buzz!
A surge of dark light burst from Su Yun’s palm, carrying with it a primal demonic force as if from the dawn of chaos. In an instant, everyone around—mortal or cultivator—felt as though an invisible hand gripped their hearts, and they trembled uncontrollably. Even their souls were pierced by an icy coldness.
The eerie chaotic energy of the Youlan Pool vanished, withdrawing beneath the surface of the water.
“A demonic technique!” Xi Yaoyue cried out in shock. “There was such an evil thing at the bottom of the pool?”
Even without knowing its name, she could feel the malevolence of this power. Just observing the Dao rhythm was like having her soul devoured.
Xiao Qingchen’s eyes widened. “What is that?”
He actually felt jealous. That fake Young Master fell into the Youlan Pool and still managed to gain such a miraculous encounter! If it had been him who fell, the divine art would have been his!
Lin Ying’er was horrified. She screamed inwardly, “You… how could you dare expose the Devour Heaven Demonic Art?!”
That was Su Yun’s strongest and earliest source of power. She had been planning to find an opportunity to kill him and take that technique for herself.
But now that it was revealed, every major force would begin watching closely. She was only at the 2nd stage and would likely never have the chance to acquire it.
She regretted it bitterly, her heart dripping blood. “Was it because I chose Xiao Qingchen too early that everything changed?”
“Hmph, Su Yun, you really know how to cause trouble for me!”
“But I’m already aboard the Child of Destiny’s ship. It’s fate that I’ll kill you.”
“And now that you’ve exposed your demonic technique so early, redemption will be even harder for you…”
RUMBLE—
A deafening sound rolled through the sky. Countless mysterious forces surged. The clouds parted, revealing a golden vertical pupil in the sky.
The vertical eye scanned below, exuding pressure so immense that everyone’s legs nearly buckled.
A thunderous voice rang out: “Who are you all? What has happened here?”
Xi Yaoyue slightly bowed and said, “The Zhenyuan Marquis Residence greets the Astrologer. My son fell into the Youlan Pool and accidentally found a demonic technique. I humbly ask the Astrologer to disperse the Chaotic Poison in my son’s body and take away the evil technique!”
“The Zhenyuan Marquis Residence… hmm, this technique is indeed sinister. Time—reveal!”
The golden eye radiated light. The space around them froze. Shadows appeared as if playing out past events.
“It’s national fate! The Astrologer is using the nation’s fortune!” someone exclaimed in shock.
The fate of the nation was the foundation of Great Qian, the source of strength that deterred all sects and holy lands. Even the emperor rarely dared to use it.
Yet the Astrologer from the Heaven’s Path Organization was now channeling vast amounts of fortune from a thousand kilometers away to peer through time. It showed how extraordinary this demonic technique truly was.
Even the emperor must want to know what had happened.
Flash!
Illusory images swept across the surroundings. Two small figures appeared at the edge of the forest.
“Fortunately, no high-level cultivators are present to disrupt the vision of the past.”
Xi Yaoyue recognized them at once—Su Yun and Xiao Qingchen!
Her emotions were complicated. She wanted to watch but was afraid of what she might see. She wanted to know who had harmed Su Yun, but she feared witnessing him betray his brother and violate the bonds of kinship.
The household servants also frowned deeply, gazing at Su Yun’s image in disappointment.
The Su family raised him for three years, and instead of gratitude, he sought to harm the true heir? After today, he must be expelled from the Su family!
Just then, the illusion of Xiao Qingchen spoke: “Brother, ahead is the Youlan Pool. Father and Mother both want to know what’s in there.”
“The guards wouldn’t let us in, so we secretly slipped away.”
“Once we find that miraculous thing, Father and Mother will be delighted.”
The image of Su Yun blinked his wide, innocent eyes and nodded without hesitation. “Okay! I’ll listen to Big Brother!”
Chubby and cheerful, he quietly moved toward the Youlan Pool.
Xiao Qingchen, meanwhile, glanced up and exchanged a signal with someone in the treetops. “Take action. Remember to knock me out!”
The Su family servants were stunned for a long moment before finally crying out, “It was… Eldest Young Master who planned to harm the Young Master!”
A high-level cultivator was hiding in the treetop, disrupting the illusion, making their appearance unclear. But for Xi Yaoyue, it no longer mattered.
Because the next moment, Su Yun’s figure collapsed in the illusion, blood pouring from his chest…
Xi Yaoyue’s face turned deathly pale as she looked at Xiao Qingchen in disbelief. “It was you!”
Su Yun then heard the system chime.
[Ding!]
[All of your cultivation is built upon the Devour Heaven Demonic Art.]
[Abandoning this technique is equivalent to starting your entire cultivation path over from scratch.]
[Such tremendous effort is enough to show the worlds the Demon Lord’s determination to redeem himself.]
[Mission Complete. Mission Reward: Dao Rhythm of Heaven and Man.]
