Hundreds of millions of light-years away from Chaos City, a wisp of black smoke, recently wounded by Gu Chuan, reappeared in the depths of chaotic space-ti. It had no fixed form, resembling an amorphous cloud of black mist—silent, shapeless, and unseen.
At this mont, however, it was both startled and enraged, seething with resentnt toward Gu Chuan.
"Damn it! That damn Lord of Chaos City! I almost died—no, I was on the verge of annihilation! That mortal dared to wound , the great Lord of Heart Demons! He is courting death. This is unforgivable!"
The black mist trembled with fury, its howls echoing endlessly.
Never in its existence had it felt such humiliation. The Lord of Heart Demons was no ordinary entity—it was a special existence, born from the convergence of good and evil heart demons within all demon gods.
As long as heart demons existed in living beings, it could never truly perish.
No matter how powerful an entity was, they were never without conflicting thoughts—good and evil, desire and restraint. This was the essence of the demonic path. The Lord of Heart Demons, in particular, was closest to the Source of Devils, a being known as the Primordial Devil.
Because of its unique existence, since the mont of its birth, it had moved freely—formless, soundless, colorless—lurking within the cracks of demon gods' hearts, unnoticed by even the most powerful among them.
In the shadows, it thrived, secretly manipulating events, devouring both good and evil thoughts, growing stronger with each passing epoch. It had always believed itself to be the supre demon god, beyond comparison.
To it, other demon gods were nothing more than prey—re fuel to further its ascension.
Given enough ti, it would inevitably rise as the Supre Demon, the God of all Demons.
In truth, the recent actions of the Plague Demon God, the Hunger Demon God, and the Chaos Demon God were not entirely of their own will. It had subtly fanned the flas of their desires, amplified their inner demons, and pushed them toward this confrontation.
It had been the true mastermind behind this battle.
Yet now, its very existence had been discovered by the Chaos City Lord, and with a re glance, it had been grievously wounded, forced to flee.
The sha was unbearable—an insult unlike any it had ever suffered.
Of course, true death was impossible. Even if it were attacked by a Saint-level demon god, it would not be easily destroyed. As long as evil thoughts persisted in the hearts of demon gods, it could always be reborn.
However, this setback ant it had to start over, accumulating power once again—a delay it could not accept.
For all its terrifying abilities and near-immortality, the Lord of Heart Demons had one fatal weakness: its power was fragile.
If its presence was ever fully exposed, even an ordinary demon god could tear its form apart.
This was why a single gaze from Gu Chuan had almost obliterated it.
And yet...
"This Chaos City Lord... why is there no opening in his heart?"
For the first ti, the Lord of Heart Demons trembled, truly unsettled.
Every being harbored good and evil—yin and yang, light and shadow. This was an absolute truth.
It was impossible for Gu Chuan to be an exception.
"No, there must be a flaw," it muttered, its voice laced with obsession. "His heart cannot be without corruption. The only explanation is that his defenses are too strong, even against heart demons."
If it could just find a crack—even the smallest weakness—it could plant the seed of a heart demon within Gu Chuan.
A hunger surged within it, a craving beyond reason. It needed to consu Gu Chuan, to devour him completely, to take over his body and beco the strongest demon god.
But not now.
"No... this is not the ti," it whispered darkly.
Gu Chuan would be on high alert after this battle. It had to be patient, had to wait for the mont he lowered his guard.
As long as even a single mont of weakness appeared...
That mont would be his victory.
The Lord of Heart Demons clenched its incorporeal fists, its entire being exuding a terrifying, murderous intent. Yet, in the next instant, it regained its composure.
Once again, it beca the patient and cunning predator that it had always been.
It could wait.
Even if it took millions of epochs, it had all the ti in the universe.
One day, no matter how powerful the Chaos City Lord was, he would fall.
One day, he would beco nothing more than food.
A wisp of black mist surged forth, dissolving into the void.
Like a ghost, it slipped into the depths of another demon god's heart, disappearing from sight.
anwhile, in Chaos City.
Gu Chuan remained unaware of the extent of the enemy he had just wounded. It did not concern him. With a casual wave of his hand, he collected the corpses of the Plague Demon God, the Hunger Demon God, and the Chaos Demon God.
Their flesh held little value for him now, but the laws contained within their bodies were another matter entirely.
This was where the true essence of a demon god lay.
They had not yet mastered the full potential of their own laws—that was why they had fallen so easily.
"The taste is not bad."
With a casual bite, Gu Chuan devoured their remains.
Though they had been demon gods of corruption and chaos, their flesh carried an unexpectedly crisp texture, reminiscent of roasted fowl.
Crunch.
A surge of imnse energy flooded his body, spreading through his limbs and bones, every cell greedily absorbing the essence of demon flesh.
More than that, knowledge poured into his mind—runes, laws, the very essence of hunger, plague, and chaos.
Within his consciousness, intricate runes of hunger, plague, and chaos manifested, rging seamlessly into his own divine understanding.
Under the deduction of the Chaos Eight Trigrams, his mastery over these three laws far surpassed that of the original demon gods.
He was no longer simply wielding their powers—he was refining them, perfecting them into sothing far beyond what they had ever achieved.
In the next instant, Gu Chuan vanished from the battlefield, reappearing in the depths of Chaos City's Central Dojo.
His body settled into a ditative state.
It was ti.
This closed-door ditation would mark his ascension—the final step before his breakthrough to the Saint Realm.
A sharp light flickered in his eyes.
His comprehension of the laws was now complete.
With the Primordial Light of rit fueling his growth, he was 100% certain that this ti, his advancent would succeed.
A profound silence fell upon Chaos City.
Gu Chuan's consciousness sank deep within, entering a state of absolute focus—where neither self nor world existed, only the path forward.
