Chapter 1997: Chapter 1994: The Emergence of the Demon Lord!
The rumbling never ceased, as if the entire sixth layer had entered an apocalypse.
Gale winds swept, surging waves rolled, demonic qi soared to the heavens! It was as if a hand descended from the sky!
It pierced through the Nine Dragon Tower, penetrating all restraints!
Rumble…
The explosion of sound echoed.
Boundless energy waves swept out in all directions.
The entire space turned into a hellscape.
Who knows how much time passed before the storm gradually subsided.
“Pfft…”
The elder’s face was filled with terror, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he crashed to the ground!
He didn’t even have a chance to retaliate!
The opponent’s strength was beyond his imagination!
…
The elder felt as if all his internal organs were shattered, and not a single bone in his body was whole!
His eyes widened in horror as he lifted his head to look at the young man not far away.
He never expected that the youth’s body would suddenly erupt with such terrifying power!
This power was familiar to him; it was the deepest force of the Demon Path!
As a strong practitioner of the Cycle Realm, he was no more than an ant before that force!
“How is this possible… Could it be that this kid’s body houses the soul of an ancient supreme being? But why didn’t I sense it at first?”
The elder felt like he was going mad!
Why did he have to encounter such a guy!
And why demand the other party’s blood essence!
This was simply courting death!
He suddenly recalled the warning words of the ancient Divine Dragon: this youth’s origin is extremely terrifying, if given certain resources, once he reaches the peak, he will surely reward a hundredfold!
But his greed ultimately doomed him.
If he hadn’t wanted to control this youth, perhaps he wouldn’t be injured right now!
He dared not think any further because he realized the young man was already standing!
He was walking towards him!
Even more terrifying, a figure hovered above the young man’s head!
It was a burly man, draped in a black robe, with a cloak etched in ominous designs, stern of figure, his piercing eyes like cold stars, eyebrows thick as if painted, surrounded by rolling black mist, chest broad, exuding an aura that could intimidate thousands.
Like an earth-shaking lion descending from the clouds. Like a jade Qilin perching upon him.
The immense pressure even made the elder feel like a small boat in the sea, utterly insignificant.
This was a true powerhouse!
A supreme being far beyond the Cycle Realm!
Could it be the Saint Realm? Or maybe the World King? Or perhaps the Celestial Venerable?
The elder dared not think any further! Too terrifying!
But… how could this be possible… Such a powerful being residing in the body of a mere God Sea Realm youth!
Logically speaking, this youth’s body should have exploded long ago!
No choice but to think, at this moment, Ren Feifan had already arrived in front of the elder!
Although he didn’t know why the Demon Lord had emerged at this time, it no longer mattered.
With the Demon Lord present, any strong foes standing in front of him would meet only one fate, and that was death!
The Demon Lord coldly swept a glance at the elder and said, “Who gave you the guts to make my people your slave!”
At those words, the elder felt an overwhelming pressure crash down upon him!
He could no longer hold himself up, not even capable of breathing—”thump!” He knelt directly before Ren Feifan!
“My lord, I was ignorant of Taishan; I am the Dragon Lord of this tower, guarding its sixth…”
“Slap!”
Before the elder could finish speaking, a phantom palm from the Demon Lord struck across the elder’s face!
Several of the elder’s teeth shattered instantly! Blood gushed forth!
“You have no right to speak of respect in front of me!”
The elder, terrified, did not dare to breathe even a bit, hurriedly nodding: “My lord, it was my fault, I beg you to spare me…”
The Demon Lord snorted coldly: “Spare you? I, the Demon Lord, have only one path for others—death!”
At those words, the elder’s face turned pale, looking at the Demon Lord in horror!
“You… you are the Demon Lord… How could this be…”
The Demon Lord!
Those four words, on this Azure Planet, meant something he knew better than anyone!
Because when the Demon Lord emerged, he was still a beast yet to transform into a dragon!
For thousands, even longer, he had heard only of the Demon Lord’s bloodthirsty reputation!
In the river of history, he was the first man to dare challenge the heavens, the earth, and the rulers of this land!
Behind him was an army of countless demons! Invincible! Who on this Azure Planet dared to oppose him!
The Demon Lord! Ruler of the ninety-nine layers of the Demon Realm! Founder of the Demon Sect! His life was dedicated to destroying the heavens!
Once, for a woman, he annihilated hundreds of top experts with a single sword! Slaughtered an entire city!
If not for that final battle, where nearly a thousand experts joined forces to slay the Demon Lord!
Perhaps the Hidden Gate, the secular world, even the Dragon Clan would have been unified by him!
Or perhaps this Azure Planet’s rules would be controlled by the Demon Lord!
Damn it, who knew the Demon Lord would be in this kid’s body!
If he had known, he wouldn’t have come in here even if beaten to death!
Terrified, the elder kowtowed incessantly, blood oozing from his forehead!
“Lord Demon, I know my mistake, I am willing to be a slave, give me a chance!”
The Demon Lord looked down at the elder with a cold smile: “A chance? If I hadn’t forced my way out, who would give my people a chance!”
Upon saying this, the Demon Lord extended a finger and gently pointed!
Rumble…
The world seemed to collapse.
The booming sound threatened to tear the space apart.
Bursts of red light shot out! Within the light, flames scattered as if meteors streaked across the sky.
They struck directly on the elder’s body!
A suffocating chill enveloped the elder entirely.
The next second, it erupted!
The elder instantly turned into a mist of blood!
The methods were domineering to the extreme!
Ren Feifan watched the scene before him, and even though he had imagined countless times, he hadn’t expected the Demon Lord to be so cruel.
The Demon Lord glanced at Ren Feifan and chuckled, “Do you think I’m cruel? Do you think this man could be a slave?”
Ren Feifan said nothing.
The Demon Lord continued: “Kid, some people must die, some are destined never to be slaves. This one manipulated the Mirage, deceitful and cunning; even as your slave, he could use the Mirage to control you once you’re careless. If you’re trapped in the Mirage, he’d have you in his grasp.”
Ren Feifan finally realized, indeed, experience comes with age.
Suddenly, he thought of something, curiously asking, “Have you fully recovered? Was your body restored from the last battle?”
The Demon Lord shook his head: “I absorbed a lot of demonic qi just now, which healed many of my injuries, but it’s not enough to break through. The biggest reason is I’m afraid something might happen to you; now you and I are in the same boat, your survival means my survival, your strength means my strength.”
