Chapter 631: The Demon Master Desires to Join the New Era
When the news of Chu Yuan becoming the Newly Advanced Demon Saint reached the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
It sent a shock through the palace.
Donghuang Taiyi, high on his throne, also revealed a trace of a smile.
Only the Demon Master was utterly astonished.
He had not anticipated that Donghuang Taiyi would move so quickly.
"Your Majesty, today our Demon Race adds a Demon Saint, we should celebrate!"
At this time, a Demon General stood up and said.
"Indeed, let's hold a banquet within the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, there's no need to involve the other races."
Donghuang Taiyi slightly lifted his eyes to glance at that Demon General, and spoke softly.
"Yes!"
All the Demon Generals within the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons bowed and assented.
Soon after, many Demon Generals left to prepare for the banquet.
Only Ji Meng with his rigid expression and the astounded Demon Master remained standing.
"What are you two still doing here? Is there something you need? If not, then you may leave."
Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand and asked.
Upon hearing this.
Ji Meng nodded, and promptly left.
Only the Demon Master was left in the hall.
The Demon Master stood before Donghuang Taiyi, his face showing hesitation as if he wanted to say something but felt embarrassed to speak.
"Demon Master, are you perhaps referring to matters about the Prime Demon Saint?"
Donghuang Taiyi took the initiative to speak, his gaze fixed on the Demon Master.
A tremendous aura pressed directly towards him.
He was not the least bit polite to the Demon Master.
He simply overpowered him with his own aura.
He certainly hadn't forgotten all that the Demon Master had done in the past!
"No, no, no, that's not it. I wanted to ask about recent events concerning the Demon Race,"
The Demon Master stammered out these words.
"Recent events of the Demon Race? What events have occurred recently?"
Donghuang Taiyi slightly reined in his aura and said with a furrowed brow.
"The Demon Race...oh, right! Many places of the Demon Race have recently been slaughtered by the Human Race, initially it was just some small tribes, but now even mid-sized tribes have been slaughtered. I beseech His Majesty not to overlook this because the incident seems minor!"
The Demon Master quickly bowed and said.
"Slaughtered by the Human Race? How many humans?"
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the Demon Master with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and spoke flatly.
"I do not know, as no member of the Demon Race has witnessed it firsthand, so there are no details."
The Demon Master said with his head lowered.
Upon hearing this.
Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the seat below him.
He did not speak.
Instead, he lapsed into silence.
The Demon Master, seeing Donghuang Taiyi not speaking, also fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie.
Moments later.
Bang.
A loud sound echoed.
Donghuang Taiyi abruptly stood up and pointed at the Demon Master.
"Demon Master, I know what you are thinking. I am not the Demon Emperor you imagine, who only knows battle. In the old days, the Demon Race Heavenly Court was led by the Demon Emperor with me as the support, but this does not mean I am without cunning."
"I advise you not to harbor any thoughts, otherwise I won't mind crushing you before the Demon Emperor revives."
Murderous intent roiled in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.
It was clear.
Donghuang Taiyi truly wished to kill the Demon Master.
But he restrained himself due to the current situation since the old era, and thus, he did not act.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Demon Master was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling.
Donghuang Taiyi watched the Demon Master for a long time.
Then, he stood up and left without looking at the Demon Master again.
Long after Donghuang Taiyi had left,
the Demon Master finally rose from the ground.
He looked back in the direction Donghuang Taiyi had departed, his eyes brimming with shadows.
His fists were tightly clenched.
He had realized it now.
Donghuang Taiyi had no intention of sparing his life.
At the first opportunity, he would undoubtedly kill him.
For now, it was only the circumstances that had stayed his hand.
"No, I can't just sit here waiting for death! If the old era won't accept me, I'll join the new era. Baize and the others have already sided with the new era; there must be a way to join them!"
The Demon Master had a thought rise in his mind.
To side with the new era!!
If he didn't, it would only be a matter of time before he met his end!
Even if Donghuang Taiyi eventually chose not to kill him, the revived Demon Emperor would certainly do so.
For no other reason,
than during that great battle of the Demon Race, they didn't have to lose. It was because he, in fear of death, took away a vitally important artifact, that they were defeated.
"Find a way to go to Divinity Continent. That is the central hub of the new era's layout. If I get there, I will definitely find a way to join the new era!"
The Demon Master already had a concrete idea in his mind.
But before leaving,
he wanted to meet with Yuan Chu to see if he could take Yuan Chu with him.
After all, when siding with the new era, he would need power; having Yuan Chu as an ally would be far more convenient.
With his plans in mind, the Demon Master quickly left the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
...
Meanwhile,
in a certain tribe in Tianjian Continent,
Lin Mo was still slaughtering the Demon Race ruthlessly.
The souls of the slain Demon Race were all absorbed by the Burial Sky Coffin, then fed back to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's realm was soaring at a rapid pace.
He had now reached the Tribulation Transcending Stage and was still advancing.
Lin Mo, who had reached the Tribulation Transcending Stage, was terrifying in his combat power. A man with a coffin was enough to contend with the average Mahayana Realm.
Even if he chose to run, several in the Mahayana Realm might not be able to hold him back.
Lin Mo's combat power ascended.
With his strength, it was possible for him to slaughter common Demon Tribes.
But at Li Cheng's suggestion, they did not target the Demon Tribes, but continued to slaughter some Demon Tribe factions.
According to Li Cheng, their strength was still insufficient; attacking the Demon Tribes now might draw the attention of powerful Demon Race figures.
It was not yet the time, so they had not chosen to slaughter the Demon Tribes.
That day,
Lin Mo emerged from the midst of a Demon Tribe, covered in blood. His eyes were red with bloodlust, his body radiating a murderous aura, and within it, a trace of demonic energy was forming.
If someone of insufficient realm were to see Lin Mo, they would tremble with fear, and their Dao hearts would become unstable.
"Junior brother."
Li Cheng stood not far away, looking at Lin Mo with a bit of concern.
"Senior brother,"
Lin Mo replied in a hoarse voice.
"Mm, are you okay?"
Li Cheng feared his junior brother might be overwhelmed by the excessive killing and allow the killing intent to invade his mind.
"It's fine, senior brother, rest assured. This coffin can absorb some of my negative emotions and won't allow my mind to be invaded,"
Lin Mo explained, reading Li Cheng's concern.
"That's good then."
Li Cheng also felt relieved.
"Senior brother, there are some treasures here. Are you sure you don't want to take something for self-defense? With a treasure and without, it's a whole different story,"
Lin Mo spoke, holding a storage bag.
Throughout their journey and battles, they had obtained many treasures.
But Li Cheng hadn't taken a single one.
This puzzled Lin Mo.
"I really don't need any, junior brother. You might not know this, but my true form is different from others…"
Li Cheng shook his head, refusing…
